Chapter 255 "Gotham Act"

Gotham was recovered, but not recovered.

Borderlands ends 391 days after Gotham became Borderlands.

People stranded outside can now return to Gotham, and all kinds of supplies are being sent to Gotham.

However, Gotham has established a very strict review system, and anything related to the officialdom is not allowed to enter Gotham.

Gotham's own threat has been resolved, but this incident is far from over.

What the authorities did in Gotham was seen by everyone. In addition to admiring Li Ming's great character and praising the tenacity of the people of Gotham, the biggest voice from the outside world was to severely punish the murderer!

There is no need to delay accountability.

However, the fight between the official and the major financial groups is not over yet, because they are still not sure who is the murderer, or how many masterminds are behind it.

Plotting against the Gotham Corporation? This is true.

Lockdown Gotham? Everyone knows this.

Collusion with gangs? They did this too.

Raid a shelter?

The consortium knew it was not their fault, but it was hard to say whether others had done it.

Collaborating with the military to order the destruction of Gotham?
All consortiums are certain that this is not something that capital can do, and only the government has the ability to do it.

Just kidding, other things are fine. Anyway, I have accomplices, but no one can handle this matter.

In fact, although Nissa Ogu was deliberately let go by Li Ming, General Rhodes and Eduardo, who was transformed into Bane, had already been caught and could be interrogated directly.

But just like what happened to the previous congressman, even though they were closely guarded, Eduardo and General Rhodes still died one after another.

The difference is that the cause of Eduardo's death is unknown, but General Rhodes committed suicide in public.

This time the clue was broken again.

But the outside world believed that it was murder and silence. Especially after Gotham exposed the official and consortium's evidence against Gotham, it aroused public excitement. There were large demonstrations everywhere, and the pace was so loud that no officials dared to stand up. Get the heat.

Officials know that the source of the solution is Gotham. It would be easier if Gotham didn't make trouble.

But Gotham clearly refuses all official orders. Following General Rhodes's mistakes, no one dares to use strong methods. There are still many captured soldiers in Gotham.

Under the anxious urging of the officials, Gotham finally gave the conditions.

First, sell all the land in Gotham to the Gotham Group.

Second, Gotham is led by Li Ming and implements complete autonomy. Officials are no longer allowed to interfere in Gotham affairs.

Third, when there is a conflict between federal statutes and Gotham law, Gotham shall prevail.

……

In general, Gotham is no longer under official jurisdiction, but the rights enjoyed by Gotham cannot be affected.

"Impossible, isn't this just independence in disguise? It's even more extreme than independence!"

One official at the official meeting retorted emotionally.

This meeting gathered most of the senior federal officials.

"Smith, do you have any better solution?"

The commander glanced at him, and the man suddenly stopped talking.

He only knows how to talk, and it is not within his professional scope to really ask him to do things.

"I'm ready to accept it." The commander-in-chief said, surprising many people.

"General, would you like to discuss this matter more extensively?" the deputy commander asked. "There is no precedent for granting such rights to municipalities."

If Gotham's demands are met, even the Supreme Court will not have the power to rule on Gotham affairs.

It is equivalent to becoming a place that belongs to the federation in name but is actually independent.

"There is no precedent for the army to launch a war against its own city and kill civilians live on TV!" the commander said coldly.

"What happened in Gotham has shaken the foundation of the federation. Driven by Gotham, demonstrations are now being held in many states to exchange Gotham for the stability of the federation. Everyone should know how to choose, right?"

The deputy commander stopped talking.

"And..." The commander's words were full of sarcasm, "No one can benefit from Gotham anyway, right?"

He had reason to be unhappy, because although the outside world had regarded the Commander-in-Chief as the biggest suspect, he didn't even know about Gotham at the beginning.

No one told him until Gotham needed to be closed down.

It was like he had no share in the carving up of Gotham, but in the end he took the biggest blame.

Perhaps only Li Ming knew that the commander-in-chief had grievances.

"After the incident in Gotham is over, I will resign." The commander added.

"what?"

"Resign?"

The commander-in-chief quietly watched the officials' expressions of surprise, reluctance, or affectation, but he was wondering in his heart who was behind this.

The most suspicious person is naturally the deputy commander, because after his resignation, the deputy commander will inherit the position of the commander-in-chief.

But the deputy commander came from the same party as him.

The commander-in-chief didn't dare to think about it anymore. Now he only hoped that the guarantee given to him by the King of Gotham would be enough to keep him away from this turmoil.

No matter what the officials think, pacifying Gotham and the abdication of the commander-in-chief are enough to resolve this turmoil.

"After the meeting, the Congress will start legislation and pass it as soon as possible." The commander-in-chief directly ordered.

"it is good."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

For the first time, the commander-in-chief realized the beauty of speaking out. The Congress that had not dealt with him in the past was so obedient today.

But this comes at the cost of a political career.

After all, he was the one who nodded and agreed to Gotham's conditions, and he was the one who proposed the legislation, and even took the initiative to resign to attract fire. Anyone who dared to disobey him at this time would probably be beaten on the spot by other officials.

Even the financial groups behind the various congressmen are eager to settle this matter quickly.
The commander-in-chief was also extremely scared. General Rhodes was not low in rank, but he still took refuge in the people behind the scenes. In the end, he even committed suicide without daring to reveal the people behind the scenes.

If he didn't escape as soon as possible, he would probably be the next to die. Then he would pretend to commit suicide and put a confession next to his body.

I believe that by then, these people will probably, like today, simply characterize their death as suicide due to fear of crime.

The commander-in-chief understands very well. In many cases, it doesn’t matter whether the real culprit is found or not, as long as someone pleads guilty.

Congress showed unprecedented efficiency and passed a new bill in just two days.

Gotham Act.

The bill agreed to all the conditions proposed by Gotham and stated that Gotham's remaining land would be sold to Gotham Group within two months.

This bill caused a great deal of discussion, with some people applauding and others questioning it, but it was immediately attracted by new big news.

The commander-in-chief resigned.

After the bill was passed, Li Ming immediately stopped hyping up public opinion. The goal had been achieved and it was no longer appropriate to attract more firepower.

So after Gotham and the authorities joined forces to quell the situation, the discussion on the "Gotham Act" has been suppressed, and the public's talk has focused on the resignation of the commander-in-chief.
