Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 312

After Jack entered the New York City Hall, he did not issue any orders immediately, nor did he meet any subordinates. Apart from the statistics of the casualties in New York City, he did not take any action!
This disappointed a lot of people!
Although it is said that Jack was able to take office so quickly, most of the reason is because he paid enough benefits to exchange with the dignitaries,

But it is undeniable that... Many people in New York City have high hopes for him, hoping that he can quickly lead New York out of the current predicament.

Jack's behavior of doing nothing reminds many people of Norman Osborn, who was once called a "sleeping politician" by many media!
However, in New York at that time, there were no major problems regardless of economic security, and there was nothing wrong with being a "sleeping politician", and many people were even happy to see it succeed...

But the current New York is in a state of waste, and people cannot accept another "sleeping politician".

This is Jack... If anyone else dared to do this, he would have been sprayed into scum by the critical New York media.

But Jack is the eldest son of the Murdoch family after all, and a member of the New York press circle. Of course, the most important thing is...he used to be the director of the Skyhammer Bureau, also known as the head of the secret service!

Adding these points together, the New York media endured and did not speak up easily...

But everyone also knows that if Jack continues to do nothing, the New York media won't be patient for long.

And that includes Jack and Raymond...

Inside the mayor's office in New York City Hall.

Jack is instructing the staff to adjust the furniture in the office...

Many people say that Americans don't pay attention to these things, but in fact this is a misunderstanding!
Except that like the White House, there are a lot of cultural relics placed in the office and it is not easy to change...

After other people enter the new office, they will basically change the furnishings in the house in order to better suit their own usage habits and aesthetics.

Well, in fact, the White House has not been spared. For example, the famous Oval Office, except for a few paintings on the wall and the desk presented by the queen, other furniture will be replaced by the next president.

This stuff seems to be the same no matter the East or the West!

The staff was busy for nearly an hour, and finally arranged the office furnishings according to Jack's wishes, and then the dead girl came in with a half-person-high wine box,

With Jack becoming the mayor of New York, Death Girl also became the mayor's secretary.

But Jack decided to do the job of placing wine bottles by himself...

During the whole process, Death Girl and Raymond stood aside and did not intervene.

After Jack set up the wine cabinet, clapped his hands and stood up, Raymond said:

"Do you feel like a master now?"

Jack laughed, "Are you kidding me?"

Raymond waved his hand and said: "It's not a joke, but I hope...
You know, I'm an old man, and this is supposed to be my last leg in politics, so I wonder if my gears are ready..."

Jack motioned to the dead girl to prepare two cups of coffee, and then sat on the new sofa,
"To be honest, although I have been preparing, I feel that I am not ready, but this should not affect our work."

Raymond nodded,

"So we're going straight to the plan now?"

After thinking for a while, Jack replied: "Just act according to the plan... You know, the mayor doesn't have much power!"

Raymond comforted: "This is the first step, and it will always change in the future."

"hope so."

Jack knew from the beginning what New Yorkers wanted to see in a new mayor, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

The United States is an extensive country, and there are not many things that political officials can decide.

To put it simply, the position of mayor of New York is not easy to sit because it does not have enough power...

What New York needs at present is a leader who can coordinate and arrange all rescue and reconstruction work, but Jack can't do it!
For example, if a building collapses and there are more than a dozen people trapped in it, a large number of firefighters are required to clear the ruins on the upper floor, and doctors and ambulances are needed to rescue them...

There is nothing wrong with this!
But in New York, or America in general, it's a tough job.

Because whether it is firefighters or doctors and ambulances, they are all charged!

It may sound outrageous...

It's already this time, are you still talking about money with me?
It's a pity that the reality is like this. It really needs to talk about money before saving people.

There used to be a very popular story in New York:

An international student fainted on the street due to hypoglycemia. Passers-by were very sympathetic and quickly helped him up, and planned to call an ambulance for him, but the international student was awakened when he heard the word ambulance , the first thing he said was,
"Please don't call the ambulance, I can't afford the cost."

Usually an ambulance in New York costs about $2500, and it could be more, which is really not something a student can afford.

Coincidentally, there is also a little story about the fire truck.

It is said that an oriental couple was working in New York. They were not used to eating American fast food, so they decided to cook and eat by themselves, but the oily smoke set off the fire alarm, and then three fire trucks came...

A week after the drama, the couple received a bill from the fire department... $7800!

According to American law, fire alarms must be installed in all houses.

So if you see one guy cooking in the Flushing area of ​​New York City and another guy desperately fanning the fumes with a fan, please don't think it's funny, they're just afraid of the fire department calling out the fire trucks!

Back to the topic, everyone now knows that New York needs rescue, but more than a week has passed, and the rescue situation is extremely slow,

why?
The reason is lack of money, and the city hall has no way to spend so much money to solve these problems.

Before Jack took office, the city hall was still hesitant to apply for assistance from New York State, again because of fear of not being able to pay the resulting costs.

So like Jack said to Katie, there is nothing too complicated about New York City, its only problem is a lack of money!
If you want to understand this, Jack has no intention of doing things that are destined to fail. He only wants to make money...

In New York City, there are not many ways for the city hall to make money. The most reliable way is to raise money.

To this end, Jack and Raymond have long planned a charity donation reception, and the time is tonight...

Not long after, the dead woman returned to the office with two cups of coffee. She put the coffee on the coffee table and reported to Jack:
"Booker and Caddy are waiting outside the office."

Achieve fame, get to see old friends...

This was an extremely pleasant thing, and Jack waved his hand to signal the death girl to invite the two of them in.

Since Jack left Snard's team, this is the first time he has seen Booker and Caddy. Judging from the rhythm of the two walking in, Booker has obviously dealt with Caddy, which also makes Jack smile knowingly.

When Booker came close, Jack immediately gave him a big hug, and then greeted Caddy,

After the two sat down, Jack immediately invited:

"Booker, I hope you can serve as the legal counsel of the city hall... Caddy, I hope you can serve as the press officer of the city hall..."

Every mayor needs a staff team, and this team will serve the mayor closely around the mayor. It can be said that they are the extension of the will of the mayor.

Regardless of family background or ability, Booker and Caddy are extremely suitable candidates.

Before replying to Jack, Booker glanced at Caddy quietly, and this small gesture did not escape Jack's eyes.

"Mr Murdoch..."

Jack waved his hand, "Booker, don't do this with me, you still call me Jack!"

Booker smiled, and said again: "Well, Jack...Actually, I'm working for the law firm of Kravis Sven and Moore, and the treatment they give is not bad."

Because of familiarity, Jack interrupted Booker again,

"Hey man, are you trying to turn me down?"

Booker laughed again, and said with some embarrassment:

"But I really don't want to change my life now."

Jack quickly turned his gaze to Caddy, who had already realized that his best friend was being manipulated by the woman in front of him.

"Cady, so your answer to my invitation is..."

Kaidi was sitting on the sofa with a straight posture. With her serious expression, it made people feel that she was not easy to mess with. In fact, she was indeed not easy to mess with!
"Mr. Murdoch, I accept your invitation."

This answer surprised Jack very much. He looked at Caddy, then at Booker, and asked:
"You two... what does this mean?"

Booker said loudly, "Have you seen it?"

Jack said angrily: "Come on, you think some people can't see it... Raymond, tell them, what did you see?"

Raymond smiled and replied, "Men and women in love."

Booker was embarrassed, but Caddy remained silent.

"Now tell me, what tricks are you up to?"

Booker wanted to speak, but was stopped by Caddy, and then the latter said loudly:

"Mr. Murdoch, after the New York War, the concept of the world will change. In the face of these superheroes, I think the government will become weaker and weaker. The only way is to limit them and control them. !
But as far as I know, most superheroes will not accept this kind of control and restriction. What do you think will happen after that? "

What else can happen?
Civil war chant!
This is something that has happened in the previous life, so Jack can be very sure.

But at present, the official and public attitudes towards superheroes are still sought after and excited, and Caddy has been able to see this, and his vision can be described as advanced.

Even an old fritter like Raymond sat up straight after listening to Caddy's discussion, obviously shocked.

At this time, of course Jack can't be deaf and dumb, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Caddy.
"Miss Caddy, the conflict between superheroes and the government can be resolved through negotiation."

Kaidi stroked her hair and said coldly:
"Negotiation? How to negotiate... let the superheroes reveal their identities? Even mutants can't accept things, and those superheroes with stronger power will not accept it...

Of course, you and Mr. Stark have set an example and disclosed your identities.

But I don't think this is a good thing. In view of the status of you and Mr. Stark, the authorities can completely ask you to implement this plan.

Tell me frankly, when the time comes, you and Mr. Stark will be in a dilemma. "

For a moment, Jack thought that Caddy was also a time traveler, because she had already told everything that would happen in the future,
It's just that Jack still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with inviting Booker and Caddy to join the city hall?
In fact, between superheroes and the authorities, Jack has already decided his position, standing on the side of superheroes...

Otherwise, how could he support Tony in the Justice League.

You know, a single superhero can solve the problem, but when the superheroes also form a group, the authorities must weigh whether they have the ability to solve a whole group.

"Miss Katie, things in the future are likely to develop according to your predictions, but I don't understand what this has to do with Booker being a legal adviser?"

"Eggs can't be put in one basket... The relationship between Booker and I has decided that we can't all stand on your side, but I'm personally optimistic about your future development...

It can even be said that the authorities of the future want to resolve the rift between themselves and the superheroes, and only you can do it. "

This is a very high evaluation. Although Jack is not in a high mood, he can't help but feel happy.

At this point, Jack had understood Caddy's thoughts, and then he stood up and welcomed Caddy to join his team.

……

At the same time, in X Academy, Professor X is watching Magneto adjust the brain wave enhancer.

Facts have proved that no matter how Professor X's psychology changes, the relationship between him and Magneto will never change!
After Professor X was resurrected, he immediately found Magneto, and I don't know what the two talked about... Magneto followed Professor X back to X Academy.

After Magneto adjusted the brain wave enhancer, he flew back to the bridge with his hands behind his back.
"Charles, after this transformation, the brain wave enhancer can easily cover the whole world, and the rest depends on your decision!"

Professor X also stood with his hands behind his back. He smiled and said:

"Eric, don't worry, I still have to see Jack Murdoch's next move."

Magneto frowned and said, "Didn't you say he's busy being the mayor now? Did he do something secretly?"

"It's precisely because he didn't do anything that it deserves our attention... He clearly knows the destructive power of me and you, why didn't he do anything, and Tony Stark is also a little unusually calm."

"Perhaps they were all frightened by your threats. To be honest, even though you told me yourself, I still can't believe that you would threaten them with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!"

Professor X laughed and said: "After experiencing the great horror between life and death, I am no longer the original Charles Xavier, I am more free!"
