Osborne Megacorp

The time came when Norman was officially sworn in.

The entire ceremony begins with the president attending a church service.

Compared with the previous speech in Dallas before taking office, this day officially represented that Norman would take over the executive power of the United States of America. Even a corrupt Congress would no longer be able to plant assassins during the inauguration.

Due to the impact of the terrorist attacks, Washington DC has installed ctOS under the strong will of the people, and no corner can escape Osborne's surveillance.

The street Norman was about to walk was lined with soldiers wearing exoskeletons. A phalanx of power armor troops stood on the street, waiting for the president's review.

After the service, Norman walked out of the church in front of everyone. Voters on both sides of the street waved their hands happily. Voters wearing exoskeletons stood at the front. These voters had a large piece of fabric sewn on the exoskeleton. Painted with the face of Norman Osborne.

Ellis walked out of a nearby car with a slumped face - as a tradition, he and Norman were going to Capitol Hill to attend the inauguration ceremony.

The power armor troops gradually formed a queue as Norman approached. If the road had not been specially treated beforehand, the uniform pace would have turned the road into a hornet's nest.

"Congratulations, President Osborne." Ellis extended his hand.

"Thank you, President Ellis." Norman smiled and shook hands with Ellis.

Then the two sat in Norman's car together.

Escorted by crowds of cheers and queues, Norman arrived at the East Portico of the Capitol.

Here, the Chief Justice has been waiting for a long time.

The Supreme Court is the last link in Osborne's control of the United States - members of Congress can win over money and various medical services. The position of president has been taken by Norman. After taking office, Norman will nominate Matt Murdoch assume this position.

Norman laid his hand on the Bible and began the oath under the guidance of the Chief Justice.

"Now, please raise your right hand and say after me: I, Norman Osborne, solemnly swear this oath."

"I, Norman Osborne, solemnly swear this."

"I will faithfully execute the duties of President of the United States."

"I will faithfully execute the duties of President of the United States."

“To do our best to observe, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

“To do our best to observe, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

After the oath was taken, the chief justice stretched out his hand towards Norman: "Congratulations, Mr. President."

"It is my greatest honor to introduce to you the 44th President of the United States of America, Norman Osborne!"

boom!

After the oath was taken, the cannons fired. Amid everyone's cheers, soldiers wearing Osborne individual armor stood on the aircraft and flew from the sky. The missiles hanging from the aircraft flew into the sky and exploded. What a beautiful firework!

Amid the exclamations, Norman walked to the stage with a smile.

Looking at several former presidents and senior officials from various government departments under the podium, he couldn't be in a better mood.

He still remembered the years when he was running Osborne, the years when he dealt with the military for orders. In fact, the military was relatively easy to communicate with. The most terrifying thing was dealing with Congress, especially those congressmen with whom they did not have deep contacts. The questions you ask are like those of a kindergartener, but you have to be careful.

Now, he has become the largest "buyer" in the world, and those people in the past have to bow to him and say "President Osborne".

This is the power he wants, not some mafia empire, criminal group, or anything else.

Now, what he holds in his hands is what he wants most.

He couldn't help but think: If only the United States were an empire.

But he soon became amused by his own thoughts.

So the public only saw him smile and then started his speech:

"Chief Justice, President Ellis, my fellow Americans, people around the world, thank you."

"As citizens of the United States, we are joining together in a great national cause: rebuilding our country and rebuilding our promise to all our people."

"Together we will determine the future of America and the world."

"We're going to finish this business."

"Today's ceremony has special meaning. Because today we are not just transferring power from one president to the next, from one political party to another. We are transferring power from Washington back to your hands, the American people. "

"For too long, a small group of people in Washington..."

Although it has declined a lot, as the president of the United States, Norman's speech cannot be the only one paying attention to it. It contains many policy tendencies.

To put it simply, in terms of tax policy, tax the rich more, provide support to the middle class and small enterprises, and build infrastructure and manufacturing.

In terms of foreign policy, we should adopt a more inclusive and open strategy to promote globalization.

As for why this is the result, it is all because Osborne's position is very special.

After these years of development, Osborne has the technology and ability to enter all fields. The only thing missing is manpower.

No matter how the lower-level enterprises develop, Osborne, who has an absolute advantage in technology monopoly, is at the top. They can only do some downstream and low-end work. In general, it is a disguised dependence.

What can Osborne do?

Relying on nuclear fusion energy, Osborne can upgrade all industries. Relying on various construction and engineering robots, automation will change human production methods.

Mining from outer space will also change traditional production and manufacturing methods, and even the economic system.

For example: Harry's next target for asteroid mining is Psyche, located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This is a metallic asteroid with a diameter of 200km and contains iron, nickel, and gold. , platinum, copper and other metal elements. If all the iron elements above were transported to the earth, based on the current market price, it would be worth 1000 billion US dollars!

This is only iron, and does not include other metal elements. Transporting these resources to the earth is enough to destroy the current global commodity system prices.

Nuclear fusion and outer space are a revolution, but most people are not very sensitive to this change. This may be a chronic disease of the world.

On the orbiting space station, Harry watched all of Norman's speeches.

[Task Release: Power]

[Task content: Control more than 50% of the power in the United States]

[Progress bar: 61%]

【The task has been completed】

[Rewards have been distributed: New World Agreement]

[The brave pioneers will break out of their mother’s cradle]

[Task Release: Union]

[Task content: Create an outer space colony developed by colonists of 50 different nationalities]

[Formal unity is meaningless, we need to stand together with practical actions]

The progress bar for task completion is only 61%, which is obviously a rough estimate and not very accurate - plus the big purge hasn't started yet, this value is not too low.

The only thing that is certain is that the power in Norman's hands is definitely not small.

"Is this the 'board of directors' you're talking about?" Hurley looked at the ground through the glass curiously, knocking on it from time to time.

Harry smiled and said: "Yes, everyone is probably curious now why I am not with my father."

"This is indeed true. Discussions have not stopped on the Internet. Some people even said that your father is still in hospital and the one on the podium is you pretending to be."

"So what is the board going to talk about? You don't just want to have a space date with me, do you?" Hurley sat on Harry's lap, and hooked his crystal fingers on Harry's chin. "But it's really romantic. I'll accept this."

"That's one of the purposes, but not now. I'm going to get the ground signal in 30 seconds. Are you sure you still want to sit on my lap?"

......

The speech entered the final stage:

"Finally, I want to thank my son, Harry. Without his support, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't have the confidence to say these words."

"You may be wondering: why wasn't Harry there?"

Norman smiled and took out a remote control in his hand.

"Because he's going to show us where our future is."

A super huge holographic projection is displayed in front of everyone.

"Hello, American people." Harry waved to the people in Washington.
