Chapter 531 The dust has settled on the election (I have something to announce, everyone please read

Returning from the embarrassing Taiping State to Manhattan, New York, Lil just walked out of the house and prepared to go to the company.

In the cyberpunk world, Lil has basically determined the direction of the mayoral election:

In the original plot, Ryan died, and his death was unclear. According to the information that Lil now has, Ryan will be killed by multiple companies in any case.

Perales and Hott compete, and depending on whether the protagonist V tells Perales that he is being manipulated, the competition will have two results with the same ending but very different details:

If V chooses to listen to the mysterious message received during the investigation and does not tell Perales that he is being controlled, Perales will win the election with 70% support.

If V chooses to tell Perales the truth and tells him that everything around him, including the thoughts in his head, is unreliable, Perales will become suspicious. Although he will eventually win the election, the support rate will be 49.3% to 47.8%, with a very small gap.

But no matter what, Perales is better than Hott, and Ryan is obviously better than Perales, and this superiority is mainly reflected in political skills:

Although Perales also knows how to form cliques, he can't get rid of some fixed and fabricated ways of thinking in his head. He is too idealistic and can never beat Ryan. Obviously Blue Eyes also expected this, otherwise he wouldn't have to kill Ryan.

But no matter what, both of them are definitely better than Hott, who jumped out to be Arasaka's dog. Now both of them are forced to rely on Burger King as a backer---

But compared with giant companies, backers still need to improve.

These can all be done remotely.

And the presidential election in the Marvel world has also been settled.

In the laboratory, the TV was broadcasting good news:

"The presidential election is settled, and Secretary Barnes will soon become the next president."

James Buchanan Barnes, the childhood friend of Captain America in most Marvel series, nicknamed Bucky, is a veteran from World War II. In most Marvel settings, Barnes disappeared in the battle, was captured and brainwashed, and injected with super soldier serum to become the Winter Soldier.

But here, it was Captain Carter who was frozen, and it was Steve Rogers who disappeared in the battle. Barnes is the current Secretary of State and the main supporter of Roxxon Energy Group. He is a serious man close to 100 years old.

Although he is old, Barnes in the news photos still looks energetic and bright-eyed. Judging from his recent speeches and attendances, he has not had any digestive problems. If his age is not emphasized, he would be thought to be only in his sixties.

"The nearly 100-year-old next president looks ready for his first term in office. I have to say that he looks pretty good.

If everything goes well, Mr. Barnes will celebrate his 100th birthday during his first term.

Many people regard him as a representative of hardliners and believe that this World War II veteran should bring us another victory in the world war, but.

It is said that people who have experienced war will not want to go through it again. Perhaps we can only know his true thoughts after tonight's victory speech."

Considering that the election results came out in the early morning of the same day, the victory speech was chosen in the evening of this day. According to convention, Barnes will thank his supporters and campaign team in his speech, look forward to the future, and briefly explain the future policy direction.

The speech location is usually the campaign headquarters, which represents his support team, sponsors, and all the interest groups he represents.

But in fact, this location can also choose some symbolic locations-

If Barnes chooses to give a speech at the Roxon Energy headquarters in Houston, it means that Lille has been tricked by this 100-year-old bad guy and can pack up and prepare to evacuate the United States immediately.

But if the location is chosen in some other places, Lille can clearly feel that this veteran does not intend to follow Roxon's intention to beat the whole world.

The location of the victory speech is.

"The victory speech will be held at 8 o'clock tonight. People are eager to hear what wisdom this president who has lived for a century can bring us and solve the current world's predicament.

This speech will be held at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. It seems that this president not only wants to communicate with voters, but also can't wait to communicate with the world.

I just don't know whether these words are sweet or sticky."

The United Nations headquarters is in New York City. Next to the United Nations headquarters is the United Nations Park, which was built after World War II. Many anti-war rallies were held here.

This place is indeed very subtle. It not only sends a very positive signal to Lille, but also does not make Roxon suspicious all of a sudden.

After all, Barnes participated in World War II, and this place is very commemorative to him. If another president comes, Roxon will be suspicious.

So Lille opened the encrypted channel and began to contact Barnes.

[Lille: Congratulations, Mr. Barnes. 】

【Barnes: Don't be too quick to congratulate me. I won't be shot like President Kennedy, will I? I hope you guys are really capable. 】

【Lille: How could that be? New York is very safe, and the company has made some achievements in vehicle research and development recently. You will know when the time comes. 】

【Barnes: Roxon will be furious when the time comes. I mean really furious. 】

[Lille: Don't worry, this is why the president needs a support team. We have made some new breakthroughs in vehicle research and development recently. ]

After getting the information, Lille went straight to the company without stopping-

Atlas Group has a lot of new combat data to receive, and it also needs to upgrade the cross-dimensional industrial production system.

Going to Dogtown is to represent yourself, and the biggest benefit will never be taken up by a group of mercenaries.

The prosthesis needs to be upgraded, the vehicle needs to be rebuilt, and the industrial system needs to be upgraded to a scale that can be presented, and

Calculating the time, Captain Carter and Frank should be in New York soon.

It's time to see what breakthroughs the material of vibranium can bring them.

Lille thought silently in the car, looking at the crowds marching on both sides of the street.

The atmosphere on the street was a little depressed, because on the surface, although Barnes' position was not as clear as that of the former President Ellis, and he tolerated the Roxxon Group many times, he was also very close to the Energy Group and the Military Industry Group.

There is even a saying: He is a veteran, he has benefited from the war, so he will definitely start a war again.

Honestly, the situation is out of control here. This happens when the confrontation becomes more and more intense: the left thinks that those who claim to be leftists are not left enough, and the right thinks that those who claim to be rightists are not right enough, and they frantically put any hostile labels on others without hesitation.

Barnes is indeed a part of American politics and needs to be responsible for the current situation, but it is not necessarily true to say how fanatical he is about war.

Society is too complicated. If a gangster raped and killed an ordinary student, Lille would shoot the guy on the spot without any other choice.

But if it is magnified to the entire society, a war, a financial storm, a subprime mortgage crisis, a data fraud, a power that acts arbitrarily.

will trigger an avalanche effect, and the consequences are far more severe than individual crimes, and it is difficult to hold accountable.

It is simple to go back from the results, but Lille is now on the cusp.

[Little Octopus: Brother, you seem a little depressed. Every time you come here, you feel a little depressed. 】

The little octopus suddenly appeared in front of Lille, with several tentacles propped up on its head, as if imitating the "Thinker".

It is an AI that can read all of Lille's body data, but thoughts and memories cannot be read, or rather, cannot be read secretly.

Then it immediately raised all its tentacles, put on steel armor, installed cyber prosthesis, and each tentacle was holding a weapon. The whole octopus looked like a crazy cyber lunatic.

[Little Octopus: Why don't you just shoot! Hehe! ]

Lille grabbed its data body back, opened the door and got out of the car.

[Lille: If you can do better, try to do better. I'm not a murderer. ]

[Little Octopus: But the world's most famous murderer's kill record is far less than yours! Even if the battlefield performance is considered]

[Lille: What is considered here is not the absolute value! It must be above the average line! 】

The little octopus sat on Lear's head, and its soft body slowly slumped down. It looked more like a slime monster than an octopus, and disappeared from Lear's sight as it entered low-consumption mode.

[Little Octopus: Well, there is a woman waiting at the back door of the company for a long time. She looks like she is hiding from something, and she has a bodyguard. ]

[Lear: Natasha? ]

[Little Octopus: It seems to be the former assistant to the president and the security chief of Stark Industries. They have recently laid off a lot of people. The outside world believes that they are staggered from our business points. ]

That is. Tony's original lover Pepper Potts and his original security captain Happy Hogan.

What are they looking for?

[Lear: Let them sit for a while, I'm busy. ]
