I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 567: Steve's Observations on the "New America" ​​(Part )

The "Interstellar Foundation" founded by Tony Stark monopolizes the transportation channels from the Earth to the "New America", so it is naturally not a problem to secretly arrange for someone to go to the "New America".

Steve Rogers, wearing nano armor, turned on the bionic camouflage system, swaggered into the spacecraft launch center, boarded the spacecraft, and entered the cabin that Tony specially designed to hide for him. He spent a few hours' journey comfortably without being discovered by anyone. Even the control system of the spacecraft was covered up.

Even after four years of immigration and development, only one main city has been built in the "New America", which fully demonstrates the infrastructure efficiency of the United States.

However, since they were working on a blank sheet of paper and there was no demolition cost, the city construction was done well, and from the beginning it was designed to be built into a "city of the future", using many advanced technologies provided by Tony.

Even Steve, who had experienced the year 2023, had to admit that the city before him looked more advanced than New York in 2023. The cityscape was cleaner and more beautiful, like a city in a science fiction work.

Strolling through the city, Steve immediately noticed the problem: all the people he saw were white!
He now knows that the Marvel Universe he originally lived in was a world created by editors, a world in which people of other skin colors were allowed to enter high-level government positions, and there were even advanced black countries like Wakanda.

The races in alien civilizations have even more bizarre skin colors. The black, white and yellow races of Earthlings are not at all noticeable in the Marvel universe civilization.

But this world is not a cartoon, and there is no need to consider the audience's opinions. The American top leaders are wantonly practicing "white supremacy" on this new planet, completely labeling people of color as "inferior people."

We dare not be so arrogant on Earth because we are on the same planet and we must consider other countries' views on America. The number of white people does not account for an advantage in the total population of Earth. If we dare to engage in "racialism", it will most likely trigger a racial war.

Doing so will not be worth the cost and will not bring any benefit at all. There is no need for capitalists to do such a thing.

It is different on a new planet, because America has a monopoly on spacecraft manufacturing technology. Strictly speaking, the white consortium has a monopoly on this technology, and naturally has the conditions to practice "white supremacy."

Once the immigrants arrived in the "New America", they lost their connection with the earth and could only accept the manipulation of the white people, right?
"I didn't expect the situation to be so serious..." Steve felt very heavy as he was walking on the street and didn't see any people of color.

His glasses have a built-in camera that transmits the images in the form of signals to the Earth through a quantum communication device loaded in nanocomponents. The delay is only one or two seconds, which is faster than cross-border communications on Earth in 2000.

"You are right. You have failed to change the arrogance and prejudice of Americans."

Back on Earth, Tony was gnashing his teeth in hatred towards "OAA" as he looked at the first-hand information Steve sent back.

Of course, he had been to the "New America" ​​many times in the past four years, but now even elementary school students know what a leadership inspection is. Tony naturally understood that the previous inspection was a joke and that he was completely shrouded in an "information cocoon."

Not only were his subordinates hiding things from him, but even the footage collected by the artificial intelligence had been tampered with by "OAA".

"It's my fault. I trusted my skills too much!" Tony sighed, "I should have done a few incognito visits."

Except for the lack of people of color, other parts of this city appear to meet the definition of a "harmonious world".

After walking half of the main street, Steve deliberately walked towards a secluded alley. As a result, after walking around for a long time, he did not encounter any of the "zero-dollar shopping" practitioners that can be found everywhere on the earth.

"Every street and alley is monitored. The equipment shell is made of very strong materials. Ordinary people without special tools cannot destroy it at all..."

When talking about the planning of this city, Tony's tone was full of pride. He put a lot of thought into solving the traditional problems in American cities and used many advanced technologies.

"Each floor of the building is equipped with emergency alarm equipment connected to the fire department and the regular police station. One-way communication is possible only when triggered, which allows residents to call the police for help in a timely manner while protecting their privacy." "In addition, I have also set strict regulations on the police's dispatch time. If they fail to arrive on time once, their salary will be deducted. If they are overdue three times, they will be fired directly."

"The most important point is that I have agreed with several western arms giants not to spread weapons in 'New America'. This way, we can stipulate that police officers are not allowed to draw their guns in advance when responding to a call..."

"Haha." Steve interrupted Tony's show-off with a sneer: "So now you know why arms dealers easily gave up this new market?"

"..." Tony was speechless, his face full of embarrassment.

Civilians are not allowed to own weapons, which means that a large number of immigrants of color cannot get weapons, which is very beneficial for each consortium family to turn immigrants of color into slaves.

Compared with the value that slaves can bring, the profits from selling arms become insignificant. Even if the arms giants are unwilling to do so, other consortiums that are not involved in the arms industry will work together to force them to compromise. After all, slaves are a benefit that all consortiums can have.

At first, Tony was also wondering why several arms giants in the West compromised so easily. As an arms dealer himself, he knew the nature of his peers very well and knew they would never give up their interests so easily. Now he realized that they had a huge common interest!

The production of arms requires costs, but immigrants of color from other countries can be deceived with just a plane ticket. What’s more, the airlines are also companies controlled by them. This makes more money than the slave trade of the past!
"I guess the blacks and yellows are all in the mines in the nearby mountains. I'll go to the city first to see if there are any other problems."

It had already happened, and it had probably lasted for several years, so Steve couldn't rush it.

Eighty percent of the Chinese immigrants have suffered countless casualties. Given Lin Hao's past behavior, there is no way he can change the other party's attitude. It is better for him to focus on the most fundamental task.

As for these new-age slave owners, let them die. Steve has no sympathy for them.

Over the next few days, Steve traveled to every area of ​​the city, observing the city with the social observation skills he had acquired over the years on Earth, and soon discovered new problems.

"The entertainment industry in this city is so developed!"

"Shopping malls, casinos, bathing centers... places to eat, drink and have fun are everywhere."

Steve marked all the entertainment venues in the city on an electronic map, transmitted it back to Earth, and showed it to Tony.

His tone became serious: “You should understand what this means!”

"Damn, this ratio is ten times what I stipulated!" Tony realized that he, the "Supervisor", was fooled again.

Many people may have a misunderstanding that Westerners have not liked to save money since ancient times. This is of course a one-sided view. Otherwise, how could Grandet's story resonate with people?
The rise of "consumerism" was just after World War II. The atmosphere of the Cold War allowed capitalist countries to slightly relax their exploitation of the people and successfully created a group of middle-class people.

Can the capitalists just sit and watch their money being taken away by the peasants?

In order to drain the money from their hands, the capitalist masters began to promote "consumerism", encouraging people to consume in advance and eventually become slaves of the banks.

Through rampant consumption, the money that has flowed out is harvested back.
