Chapter 2187: Battle of Two Cities! (Twenty-Nine)

But this doesn't make sense at all. If Mayor Penguin is such a slow-witted person with such a low IQ, how did he become the mayor?

As mentioned before, Batman has drawn a line for Penguin. There is a tacit understanding between the two of them. Batman knows that among the many lunatics in Gotham, Penguin is relatively harmless, so as long as he doesn't go out of line, the two can even cooperate.

But once Penguin crosses that line and wants to touch the real power core of Gotham, Batman will definitely hit hard.

It's not that Penguin hasn't tried, but who is Batman? Any movement can't be hidden from Batman's eyes. Penguin racked his brains to weave conspiracies and tricks, but ultimately failed to move forward half a step.

And if he didn't succeed, but another Penguin succeeded, it means that this Penguin must be much stronger than himself. How could he be a fool to fight wits and courage with Batman as a gangster boss and win?

The Penguin in the main universe didn't believe in evil, so he investigated another assassination case of several mayors, and this time it was even more outrageous.

This time, the Penguin's target was a female judge, who was also a legal expert. She came from a party that was hostile to the Penguin. During the election, she proposed some campaign measures against the Penguin, so she was kidnapped and assassinated by the Penguin.

That's right, it was kidnapping first and then assassination. When the Penguin thought he would see a very bloody execution video, he found a mysterious little link under the comment section of the Gotham Daily website.

The Penguin already had a bad premonition, but he still clicked in. He saw the video, but it was not an execution video, but some pornographic videos that were not easy to describe.

The most bizarre thing is that the heroine in the film, that is, this female judge, did not seem to be forced, and could be said to be enjoying it.

This is not easy to evaluate. What if she has a hobby of being coerced, and it might just be her wish.

But this male protagonist... The Penguin looks like an emperor penguin.

Emperor Penguin is actually like Robin of Penguin Man. He is a boy that Penguin Man once rescued and his most loyal and capable subordinate.

And Emperor Penguin is different from Oswald Cobblepot, who comes from the upper class. He is familiar with the rules of the lower class in Gotham. He can mix well among the people and has ingenious strategies. He can always help Penguin Man reverse the situation at critical moments.

Emperor Penguin and Penguin Man have been together for many years. Penguin Man knows him well. Even if his face is not shown in the video, from some action habits, it can be seen that the male protagonist is probably Penguin Man’s right-hand man Emperor Penguin.

Penguin Man in the main universe called Emperor Penguin back. When Emperor Penguin saw this videotape, he was also confused. Can he still not recognize himself?

Then the question is, Penguin Man’s political enemies and his most capable subordinates rolled together, and even filmed all this into a film, and the film was even leaked. What is Penguin Man doing?

Penguin knew that he had no special hobby in this area, but once such a video was spread, wouldn't it be a devastating blow to his reputation and ability?

Your political enemy who you shouted to kill slept with your closest assistant. Doesn't this mean that you have no ability to defeat your political enemy or control your assistant? And the two of them filmed and sent it out. Doesn't it mean that you have no ability to make any of them afraid?

Penguin simply couldn't imagine what a major blow this would cause to his reputation.

Even if you don't look at it from the perspective of the mayor and the gang boss, just from a man's perspective, your best buddy and the woman who just stabbed you in the back rolled together, and the two of them deliberately filmed a video and sent it out. If you can tolerate this, why don't you become a Ninja Turtle?

But Mayor Penguin still didn't take any action. Even in the reports of the next week, Emperor Penguin still appeared frequently beside him.

He couldn't have noticed it, right? ? ?

Penguin was puzzled. The video link appeared in the comment area below the news report. It was not even a secret link. You could click it and watch it. Didn't the mayor Penguin read the empirical reports about himself?

Even if he was really busy as a mayor and had no time to watch the news, didn't anyone around him tell him?

In other words, except for the emperor penguin, there was no one around him who could confide in him, and everyone else was not on his side, and even liked to see it and gloated over his misfortune.

Penguin really thought this was too outrageous. This kind of speculation would only appear in the hallucinations he had when he accidentally took the wrong medicine while living in Arkham Asylum.

Because there was a difficult problem that could not be avoided. If this was true, how did Penguin become mayor under the interference of Batman?

Didn't Batman interfere with Penguin's becoming mayor?

When this speculation appeared in Penguin's mind, he wanted to laugh. He would rather believe that Mayor Penguin was Superman than believe that Batman would not interfere in the mayoral election.

Batman and his Arkham fans are also in tune with each other. After so many years of struggle, they all understand each other's bottom line. Gotham is Batman's Gotham. All attempts to interfere or even exceed Batman's management authority over Gotham are dead ends.

Batman will of course manage it, but if the Penguin succeeds in becoming the mayor, it means that he has defeated Batman, but the Penguin of the main universe looks left and right, up and down, and does not see any shining points in this isotope.

The information he investigated next made him even more speechless. At this time, the two cities merged, and the Penguin was beaten by a superpower criminal hired by a gangster named Kingpin without any ability to fight back.

The way the Penguin dealt with it was to hire James Gordon, note that it was hiring rather than appointing, to arrest the superpower criminal.

The Penguin of the main universe wanted to breathe oxygen when he saw this.

You are the mayor! ! You are the mayor of Gotham City! ! ! The opposite is a gangster who is not presentable and cannot see the light. You are wanted for him! ! !

Indeed, he hired superpower criminals to destroy some of your shady industries, but if you don't say that these industries are shady, who can rush into the ruins to find evidence of your crimes?

Since it's destroyed, it's what you say it is. What drug factory, you just say it's a conscientious local enterprise that provides 20,000 jobs, who can say it's not? Who has evidence to say it's not?

When the time comes, find a few reporters to interview the ruins. The unemployed mother of three children cries while holding her children. If the governor of New Jersey doesn't stand up and hold a press conference to demand severe punishment for the murderer, then he can forget about being the governor.

At this time, there are still many people and weapons that can be legitimately fed to the Gotham Police Department, and there is no need for private transactions. The more you feed, the better you are as a mayor who cares about the people. The faster you feed, the more you are a righteous partner in combating terrorist actions.

As for whether the Gotham Police Department is your own, you are already the mayor. Aren't the gangs and the police your thugs?

Let me say it again, the American police are the thugs who maintain stability in the American upper class. They are only responsible to the government agencies. Gordon is a man of many talents, so he must also be responsible to the mayor.

Even now, if you hold a press conference and say that James Gordon has seriously neglected his duties and failed to properly maintain the public security in the area he is responsible for, and dismiss him on the spot or even send him to court, Gordon dare not say a word, because he is just doing this, and he really did not do it.

And what is the mayor Penguin doing? He secretly called Gordon and asked Gordon to investigate secretly. The two people seemed to have done something wrong. Weapons and manpower were privately allocated, and one dared to secretly ask for it, and the other dared to secretly give it.

The Penguin didn't understand, what are you guilty of? ? ?

Who is the terrorist who committed six major crimes in three days? Who are the mayor and sheriff who represent the order and justice of this city?

Even if you can't beat him in terms of force, you can call for help. Although the FBI can't come in, they must verbally condemn it for their reputation. Although Congress doesn't take it seriously, politicians have to stand up and cry for votes.

By then, Gotham City and the mayor of Gotham will be real victims. All programs on the news channel will be cleared. The Penguin will take turns to cry with city government officials and Gordon will take turns to cry with the police chief. Will there be a big increase in security spending and policy tilt next year?

The Penguin in the main universe sat in the office of Arkham Asylum and read the news over and over again. He didn't see any news about the mayor, and even a press conference to explain the situation was not held.

It's as if a super criminal blowing up six important city facilities in one day is a normal thing.

Although it is not a major disaster for Gotham, there is only one Gotham in the world, and residents in other parts of the world still have normal values ​​and standards for judging disasters. If they don't cry poor at this time, do they think they are too rich?

As Penguin read the investigation data, he was furious.

He didn't dare to think about how much Congressional funding, donations from all parties, and threats from public opinion would he receive if he took the lead in two weeks of comprehensive public opinion offensive. After swallowing all these, he would be such a sunny and cheerful fat man.

Even more outrageous, under the operation of Mayor Penguin, who couldn't even make the ranking, he really won the game.

All the troubles were solved inexplicably. The gangster named Kingpin was targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and dared not show up. The politicians and celebrities who might threaten his election suddenly had no time to take care of themselves. It was like a running competition. All 9 seeded players tripped and fell off the track, leaving only the slowest rookie to win the championship.

Penguin was really puzzled. What happened to the saying that the harder you work, the luckier you will be? My umbrella has been waving sparks every day. Let alone the mayor, I haven't even become a candidate. Why?

With this mood, Penguin Man began to analyze carefully again, and after this analysis, Penguin Man even exclaimed that there was still an expert.

Apart from anything else, don't tell me that this guy who can fall from the second floor into a trash can while chasing a gangster is Batman, and don't tell me that the gangster being chased by Batman is the assassin that Mayor Penguin sent to assassinate the Waynes? !
