Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 311 The New Mayor

Jack looked out from the single-sided glass, and the staff outside were still busy, which made Jack a little curious,
"It's only been a short day, where did you find these people?"

Raymond smiled and explained:
"Of course it can't be a temporary call. I have contacted them very early. In fact, you have already paid their wages for half a year. They have been waiting to be called."

"The current situation in New York, I'm afraid it's a waste of energy for you to call them here?"

"On the contrary, I basically didn't pay much attention to it. Hill sent a Quinjet fighter to pick them up..."

Jack felt a little surprised, and finally turned into a playful face, and said with a smile:

"She can't wait!"

Hearing that Jack seemed to have a problem with Hill, Raymond unconsciously explained to him:
"Hill is also out of kindness... The Sky Hammer Bureau has a lot of things to deal with now, and she has been under a lot of pressure to be able to dispatch the plane."

Jack didn't tell Raymond that Hill was an insider arranged by the American government in the Sky Hammer Bureau.

Although both of them had doubts in the early days, after all, things have passed for so long, and Hill has always played the role of deputy director very well, so this suspicion gradually faded as time went by.

If it hadn't been for Coulson's confession, Jack would not have regained his suspicion, conducted a comprehensive investigation on Hill, and finally discovered her identity as the director of the Heavenly Sword Bureau.

In fact, so what if he finds out, Jack can't do anything to Hill... He even has to recommend her to succeed the director of the Skyhammer Bureau!

However, the position of the director of the Tianhammer Bureau is not easy to do. I believe that the White House is already looking for a new candidate for the director of the Skyhammer Bureau.

After getting rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, Jack turned around and asked about the business.
"What's our campaign slogan?"

"Make New York Great Again."

Jack pondered for a while and commented:

"Isn't it a bit too ordinary, it sounds like you haven't put much thought into it!"

Raymond laughed:
"I really didn't put much thought into it, because in this campaign, the slogan is not important... According to the information I received from the city council, they are going to introduce temporary policies to reduce the promotion process."

Jack seemed to have caught a little inspiration, he tentatively asked:
"what do you mean?"

"The city council can't wait to promote you to become the mayor, they don't even have the heart to go through the minimum process..."

Jack asked in surprise, "Has the situation reached such an urgent point?"

Raymond nodded,

"It is said that riots broke out in three black neighborhoods last night. They took advantage of the riots to loot shops on a boulevard. They also looted the largest warehouse of Wal-Mart Group in the New York port area!"

Jack frowned. This is very normal in the United States. Basically every time there is a disaster, or simply as long as there is an excuse, the black community can always benefit themselves, but this kind of thing is rare in New York, after all Tens of thousands of police and security teams all over New York are not vegetarians!
"Isn't George doing anything?"

Raymond explained in detail:

"Director Stacey should have been prepared. Fortunately, he was prepared. Otherwise, the port area would have been burnt to nothing, and the economic loss would have been even worse!"

Jack roughly understood what Raymond meant. After the war just now, the order in New York has been paralyzed. Even if George Stacy took precautions in advance, he still failed to stop the niggas from engaging in "zero dollar shopping" activities.

"Raymond, do you think George can be the future police chief of New York City?"

Jack has put himself into the role of mayor of New York City and started to plan the future administrative system of New York City, but this question is very difficult to answer...

As we all know, the power of American officials is relative, it can be infinitely large or infinitely small... The most important thing is the ability of the person sitting in the position!
For example, Norman Osborn, the former mayor of New York, had no intention of official career at all, so he delegated a lot of power to the grassroots...

The advantage of this is... Norman has fewer things to deal with, and he doesn't need to be so busy.

And the bad thing is... the power of the mayor has dropped to a critical point, or simply say that Norman, the mayor of New York, is a mascot!

Surprisingly...New York hasn't been thrown into chaos, and Norman Osborn's approval ratings have been high, which is an outrageous thing!
It's just that since Jack is going to be the mayor, he will definitely not be like Norman, so the position of the chief of the New York City Police Department has become very delicate.

From a certain point of view, the mayor's authority is mainly concentrated on the control of tens of thousands of police officers in New York City. This is a violent organization, and its tentacles are immersed in every corner of New York!
In short, the New York City Police Commissioner must be the confidant of the Mayor of New York City, otherwise the mayor will not be able to move an inch.

Raymond can understand Jack's worries. George Stacy is a good man and a good policeman, but he will never become an extension of Jack's will. If he wants to understand this, Raymond already has the answer in his heart.
"Jack, I don't think George Stacy is fit for the position of Commissioner of the New York City Police."

Jack nodded, he didn't ask why, but asked directly:

"Do you have anyone to recommend?"

After pondering for a while, Raymond replied:

"Johnny Cruze!"

This is a surprising answer.

How should I put it, Jack and Johnny only have a few face-to-face acquaintances. The latter is a public interest lawyer who once served as a legal adviser to the New York City Education System and Police Commission.
Ordinarily speaking, he has a good understanding of the situation in New York City, and he has a deep bond with the police department, but what Jack can't be sure about is...whether he will act according to his will!
Seeing that Jack hesitated, Raymond immediately added:

"Johnny is a college student supported by the Murdoch Family Foundation. He has served your mother for a long time..."

Got it, this is my own!
Jack nodded, agreeing with the recommendation, but he still added:

"I plan to set up a semi-official security organization in New York City. Do you think it would be appropriate for George to go there?"

The many major incidents he experienced before gave Jack a clear understanding. With the gradual increase of super villains and extraordinary people in the future, the ordinary police will have nothing to do with them, and an organization must be established to deal with these people.

In contrast, the Justice League is a non-governmental organization after all, and with the characters of Tony and Captain America, they will not obey Jack's orders unprincipled,

So it is necessary to set up an elite force under your own control.

Raymond lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He was a little uncertain whether George was suitable, and finally he could only say ambiguously:

"We can give George a try first."

After all, it is a semi-official organization, not as high-profile as the police station. If George is not suitable, it will be more casual to replace.

Jack agreed to Raymond's suggestion, and the last question to discuss was,
"Raymond, I formally invite you to be the head of the staff office, would you like to?"

Although it seems that Jack's invitation is superfluous, and this position should belong to Raymond from the beginning to the end, Jack still decides to go through the process.
Perhaps with or without this verbal invitation, Raymond will serve as chief of staff,

But after all, with this invitation, it will be more legal!
In the future work, Jack and Raymond cannot always be in harmony with each other. When dealing with the same problem, the two may have differences.
At that time, because of today's invitation, Raymond will be more comfortable.

Raymond was very moved. As a veteran who had mixed up dozens of ideas in the political world, he clearly understood the meaning behind Jack's move.

Although he couldn't say that the sergeant died for his confidant at this time, his feelings for Jack were indeed one step closer, so he replied solemnly:
"I accept your invitation!"

The two smiled at each other.

It is also funny to say that today, when the dust has not yet settled in the New York mayoral election, the two have already made arrangements for the future structure of the city hall.

But this is not aimless, it can be said to be a kind of self-confidence!
Because at the same time as the two were talking, in the council office of the New York City Hall, more than forty New York City Councilors who could attend were conducting emergency consultations...

The New York City Council should have 52 members, elected from the city's five constituencies, and its role is to oversee the work of the mayor of New York City.

In fact, the resignation of Norman Osborn caught the city council by surprise. In the history of the United States, it is not that there are no mayors who quit get out of class halfway, but this is the first time in New York!
Moreover, these mayors who dismissed midway basically resigned after being impeached. Norman, who resigned on his own initiative, accidentally created another first case!
Like the former mayor Snader, he voluntarily withdrew from the election during the election process, so he cannot be counted as the first case.

Generally speaking, after the incumbent mayor leaves office, the deputy mayor should have taken over, but the deputy mayor of New York City, Alex Richardson, died in the New York War, which meant that the successor was gone...

New York City Council Speaker Joe Rota declined to take over.

So in desperation, New York City can only temporarily run for a new mayor.

Joe Rota stood on the rostrum. After confirming that all the congressmen who could reach had arrived, he cleared his throat and said:

"Gentlemen, New York City is facing unprecedented challenges right now, our people are in great pain, and New York City needs a new leader...  

But the current situation does not allow us to use the previous laws to run for mayor, so I formally propose a motion to change the election laws..."

After Joe Rota finished speaking, the assistant on the side answered:
"Now we will vote on the motion proposed by Mr. Speaker. Time is limited. Let's vote with a show of hands. If you agree, please show your hand!"

At this time, the councilors who were able to come to the city hall to attend the meeting had already received the news earlier, and they were not surprised by it. Except for a few people who exchanged opinions with each other through their eyes, most of them raised their hands directly. Those who hesitated also raised their hands,

The aide announced: "All members passed, and the second issue begins, how to change the election law!"

With that said, several staff members handed over the documents they had prepared long ago to all the congressmen.

Joe Rota continued:
"This is a new election law formulated by my colleagues and my colleagues in the Oversight Committee. I think it is more in line with the current situation in New York City. Please take a look at it first, and then offer your own opinions."

After saying this, Joe Rota paused for a while, and then continued:
"Because of time constraints, you can discuss with your team... right here!"

The voice in the conference room immediately became noisy, and the members of the House of Representatives began to whisper to each other. After all, the speaker's decision broke the convention and the law again.

Usually members of parliament are not allowed to use mobile phones to communicate with the outside world when they are in meetings, but now Joe Rota's meaning is obvious,

"You can chat with the interest groups behind you and negotiate a suitable result!"

This is blatant illegal cheating!
But no one objected, and after the initial confusion, they collectively pulled out their phones and started contacting their teams.

This is not a meeting of New York City Councilors, this is simply a spoils conference.

And Joe Rota has gray hair, and the old god is watching all this with cold eyes...

The assistant next to him was a little impatient, and asked in a low voice:

"Sir, is this really okay?"

Joe Rota laughed: "Aliens have already invaded New York, why not?"

In Jack's campaign office on the other side, Raymond received the first call. He only heard the beginning, then covered the receiver, and asked Jack who was waiting for news:

"David asked, can we hand over the outer membrane business of Xavier Technology to their company?"

"What is the origin of this David?"

Raymond explained: "David Cage has a good personal relationship with New York City Councilman Michael McColl."

Jack replied: "I can call the shots and give them all the external screen business of X-brand mobile phones..."

Since it is going to be done, it can't be petty. How can an outer film business compare to the outer screen business, Jack has made a big bet!

Raymond quickly conveyed Jack's meaning to David, and the other party hung up the phone in satisfaction.

Immediately, Councilor Michael in the city hall received a call from David. After listening to the call, Michael leaned back in his chair with satisfaction and closed his eyes, waiting for other people's decisions.

Things like this kept happening, and after half an hour, basically all the councilors had almost gotten their answers, and the entire council hall became quiet...

Realizing that the time had come, Joe Tarr asked aloud:

"What's your opinion on the new election law we have issued?"

There was no sound in the venue.

Joe Tull said with a relaxed smile: "If you have no opinion, please sign the consent form, and then we will conduct the poll."

On the basis of keeping things simple and fast, the mayor of New York City's election has reached an unprecedented speed.

Just a week after the New York War, Jack had already sworn in to the Constitution in the Manhattan courthouse, and then he led his team into the New York City City Hall.

New Yorkers jokingly call this New York Speed!
