Chapter 540 Ticket to the Future
“The Brooklyn War Memorial, I saw it erected here with my own eyes thirty years ago, and I also have friends from Brooklyn who died in the war.”
The victory speech was held as scheduled.
A huge crowd of people surrounded this place, because this is New York, and most people actually came to protest——
Only when Barnes started to speak, did they realize that this The veterans are not so radical.
It’s not like what I did in some states during my previous speeches: Give me eight years and I’ll give you a stable and strong America.
How to say it? It can be said to be sincere.
Barnes looked at the monument, and then at the statue next to the monument -
The statue was carved by his comrades, members of the Howling Commandos. He once thought that everyone They were all dead, either in battle or from old age, but now
The captain of the Howling Commandos is alive. He was dug out of the ice and then transported to Africa. His whereabouts are now unknown.
Anyway, she survived, but she is British.
The Brooklynite is the thin man next to him, the one who looks like a thin bamboo pole, Steve Rogers, but in the statue, he is in a large three-meter-tall mecha, and he looks really cool. .
Carter survives, maybe Steve can survive too?
But no matter what, those are only a very small number of people. More people are dead and cannot come back.
“.I say this not to emphasize our sacrifices, but to tell you that I understand each and every one of you who is worried that your friends, relatives and loved ones may lose their lives in war and chaos. People, because before I joined the army, I was like this too.
I have seen wars, I have also seen the chaos caused by the weakening of the country, and the results of this election prove that within the country, there are many differences between different people, but just like before, we should stand together, stand together, and overcome Difficulties, the people of Berry Country and the government of Berry Country. ”
Except for officials, no company representatives were allowed to attend the speech, and everyone could only watch from the outside.
To be honest, from a national perspective, Barnes did a good job. After all, if a country is regarded as something that can be invested, then the most direct factor to evaluate a country must be stability, and Barnes’s meaning is obvious. He also wants stability.
Helicopters hovering at high altitudes. , TV stations and liberal media all showed their talents, reporting on this speech and a banquet that took place simultaneously in the "New Future District"
The New Future District includes New York's long-standing poor areas. Including Clinton, Queens, East Harlem, and the once infamous Hell's Kitchen
This area is based on employees of Atlas Group and its partners, most of whom are skilled workers, researchers, company middle managers and a certain proportion of service industry personnel.
The advanced biogrid covers the entire network and supports the ctOS system to achieve global intelligence. Public buses and service cars have been replaced by electric vehicles, which are quiet and environmentally friendly, and the air has become much fresher— —
Although it is a little less sweet than the still-defiant financial district, it is not that dizzying anymore, and my mind is quite clear.
“The arrival of the new president in New York has released a positive signal. We all know that this president was always considered to be another iron-blooded president before he was elected, which may aggravate many frictions in the world, but now the situation seems to be happening somewhat subtly.
Perhaps this president has seen the current situation in the New Future District and realized that we should pay more attention to the current situation at home than robbing other poor people in the world.
< br>
But I also want to remind you that this does release some friendly signals, but don’t forget that we have noticed that the Ministry of National Defense has reached agreements with a number of military-industrial companies, including Stark Industries, and the weapons are bought for use. . ”
The helicopter flew away in the air, and an Atlas Group commercial vehicle that was nearly six meters long and looked like a small subway stopped at the door.
This car It is a high-end electric MPV based on the modified design of Chrysler Grand Voyager. It integrates DNA diagnosis, hemodialysis, electrical stimulation treatment, and drug synthesis, etc. A super luxury ambulance with multiple functions -
Specially designed for Lille.
The scalpel was constantly waved under the control of the little octopus, and he took out a knife from the wound near the shoulder. The bloody tissue was put into the medical waste chamber, followed by sutures and drug injections to ensure that Lille looked healthy
[Connors: Lille. The physical examination information you sent me last time may indeed develop into that, and it is estimated to be less than two years away. 】The so-called "physical examination data" from the last time is actually Lille's physical condition in Cyberpunk.
Even on Marvel's side, the condition has deteriorated to the stage where continued tumor surgery is required to inhibit cancer growth.
Connors didn’t know what to say, so he could only silently conduct medical analysis and provide medical advice.
As for advising people to take a good rest, he couldn't say it. He also knew that Lille couldn't rest now. If he took a rest, many people would be in bad luck.
[Lille: Have you finished the design of the special prosthetic body I want? 】
[Connors: Done, but this shouldn’t be for you, right? 】
[Lille: No, I still have to solve my problem by myself. I have to get off the car now. Sorry. 】
[Little Octopus: Brother, the CEO of Chrysler feels like he is going to kneel down. 】
The entrance to the Atlas Group Building was crowded with people, but one of them was obviously more excited than the others, and that was the CEO of Chrysler Automobile Company and the investors behind him——
There is no way, although it sounds resounding, they are one of the three major automobile companies in the country, but in fact this round of financial crisis has almost destroyed them.
If this is the timeline in Lille's memory, it seems that the company will enter bankruptcy liquidation in another year or two.
Chrysler's predicament is also the predicament of Berry Country's automobile manufacturing industry, and it is also the predicament of Detroit, the once prosperous automobile city.
In this round of financial crisis, Detroit is really only one step away from being destroyed, but the rise of Atlas gives them hope——
In this desperate situation The hope that emerged overshadowed their other emotions: Electric cars? If someone buys it, I will do it; the customer is an African black man? As long as you can afford it.
Even selling control
Really, they don't have much choice.
If New York is Atlas’s solid backing, then Detroit and the companies in this automobile city are Atlas’ loyal old slaves.
Detroit's debt has soared to 15 billion US dollars, and will eventually crush the city at 18 billion US dollars, but this amount of money is not a big problem for Atlas, and this solution is still It’s not about throwing money at the bottom line, but there are really new growth directions.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Looking closely, it turned out that the CEO of General Motors was blushing, and he was leading his company's people to fight a "bloody road" under the siege of the Chrysler team - —
Yes, the CEO of Chrysler is also quite funny. He has gathered a large network of connections to surround the place, especially targeting people from General Motors. It is obvious that this is a business war involving old faces.
However, Lille did not rush over after getting off the car, but looked up into the sky: an urban light rail connecting China Unicom's New Future District passed almost silently from high altitude, with lights flickering on and off, reflecting In the faces of noisy executives.
Chrysler and General Motors are just acting more extreme, but in fact everyone who comes here today comes with the mentality of seeing what the future promised by Atlas is like.
Now that they have been convinced, what they are planning is how to grab a first-class ticket on the train to the future.
"Mr. Li! Mr. Li!"
The CEO of Chrysler stepped forward quickly, but Leal nodded with a smile and said to him: "You are so polite, Mr. Giles, but I have to wait for my mother here. Don't worry, I will talk to you later. Let’s talk about future cooperation.”
Another car stopped at the door of the building.
Lille looked at the car and said: "Please take your seats first, I will get up soon."
