Marvel: Ma'am, I'm your husband's boss

There was neither ridicule nor pity in his eyes, only a calm and gentle look, as if he had no other superfluous emotions, and seemed like an old-fashioned political machine: “George Stacy, I’ve seen what you gave me.

But you broke the law, and you broke it knowingly. Don't say that I'm just an acting mayor. Even if I were the real mayor, who was elected through real elections, I would not be able to get you out of prison.

But I can help you get revenge.

And let you be released on bail for a period of time."

"Why?" George Stacy looked at Russell in confusion. He didn't believe that there would be such a thing as a free lunch in this world. Moreover, the relationship between the two was far from the point where they would avenge each other.

"I need that piece of Hell's Kitchen. That was my campaign platform."

"This is not your real purpose!" George Stacy shook his head, "Sorry, I still have a wife and daughter. Although they are not planning to come to see me, I have to consider them. I have given you all the useful things I have." George Stacy said and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want revenge?"

"I have to think about my family?"

“If you don’t help me, your wife’s hospital will close within a month.

Your daughter will be kicked out of the aristocratic school and can only go to an ordinary high school.

Enduring constant harassment from hooligans and gang members, who I hear are all beautiful.”

George Stacy stopped and looked back at Russell.

George Stacy did not show any panic in his eyes, but was unusually calm. "What is your purpose?"

George Stacy was not afraid of threats.

After being a policeman for so many years, if I were afraid of threats and lose my mind because of being threatened.

Then all his years as a police officer would be in vain.

Russell took out the pen from his pocket and wrote a word on his hand.

Then, facing George Stacy.

George Stacy looked a little strange after reading it.

This word means order. In the military, it generally refers to the combat mission received.

"Someone asked you to deal with..."

"No, no, no!" Russell shook his head. "He just happened to stand in front of me. I want to rely on my own strength to become the mayor of New York City!" Russell suddenly stopped talking here, because he understood that George Stacy was a smart man.

It's clear at once, no need to say more.

George Stacy finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I still can't help you with this."

"It's okay. I know you may have some concerns. I can give you time to think about it. If you need anything, you can always call my campaign office. The prison guard knows the number."

George Stacy said nothing, but nodded slightly and left the room.

After Russell watched him leave, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

The facial expressions that had been masquerading as the political machine were also gone.

He stood up and prepared to leave.

But just as I opened the door, a mobile phone was delivered from outside.

Russell looked at the name displayed on the screen and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

However, he finally took the phone and said, "Dad!"

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"

"I was just in a meeting, Dad!"

"Next time, don't keep me waiting too long."

On the other end of the phone.

Came a majestic voice.

A hint of impatience flashed across Russell's face.

But he still said respectfully: "Yes, Dad."

"Okay...any contact with Fisk?"

“There hasn’t been time, Dad.

I have been busy with the transition of power in New York City recently, and the members of the City Council have a lot of opinions about my sudden arrival.”

"None of that matters, just a bunch of clowns with no say.

Talking to them any more is a waste of time.

Don't forget why I asked you to go to New York?

I don't lack your political resources.

I asked you to go to New York so that you could do the job I asked you to do." The voice on the other end suddenly became serious.

"Dad, I can do this myself!"

"Shut up, I don't want to bargain with you, I just arranged for you to do such a small thing!

Contact Fisk as soon as possible, and then follow the plan as planned... Is Betty okay?"

“Yes, Dad.

She is doing well and is now actively working every day.

I also spend a lot of time with her every day.

I took her to an Italian restaurant for dinner last night.

I talked to her about having kids, but she didn’t seem to want them.”

"Don't be in a hurry to have children, you are still young... I will come to see you, don't delay that matter, I hope to hear good news from you next time."

"I understand, Dad." Russell hung up the phone, his face completely gloomy, like the bottom of a burnt pot.

Don’t underestimate him. He is the acting mayor of New York City and will become the mayor of New York City, second only to the mayor. However, he is just an ant under the feet of some people in power.

Even the mayor of a financial center like New York is just a pawn in the hands of some powerful politicians.

Of course, he is better than ordinary chess pieces because he is a son-in-law.

He is now the son-in-law of General Ross, a well-known figure in the military.

General Ross is a three-star general and will soon be nominated for a four-star general and take up the post of Army Chief of Staff. This position has much more power than the Secretary of Defense. Not to mention arranging a small mayor of New York City, he can even arrange a governor.

Of course, it can be difficult.

However, Russell was not prepared to be a pawn.

He planned to take this opportunity to break away from General Ross's control.

If he follows the plan, he will never be able to escape from General Ross's control in his entire life.

He had to find other opportunities.

And right now there is such a good opportunity.

Russell came to New York with a mission.

After General Ross became the Army Chief of Staff, he began to seek benefits for the Army.

That is to seek benefits for the senior generals of the army.

According to past practice, the best way is to sell arms.

After all, arms companies provide large quantities of arms to the US Department of Defense every year.

However, no one used these weapons and most of them were kept in warehouses waiting to rot.

The main responsibility of the Army Chief of Staff is to sell this batch of arms through various means.

Then, the money is transferred to arms companies through various means, and the arms companies will transfer it to various senior army generals in the form of political donations according to the methods they have prepared long ago. This is a perfect closed loop.

Of course, arms companies are not allowed to participate in the resale of this batch of arms, otherwise they will easily be caught.

Therefore, Ross needed to find someone to do this. The previous Army Chief of Staff accidentally died in Miami and did not have time to leave any political will.

Therefore, his political legacy was naturally divided up.

Ross had a bad relationship with the previous Army Chief of Staff and the two were sworn enemies.

Therefore, after taking office, Ross had no way of using the connections and trade channels left by the previous Army Chief of Staff, so he had to build his own trade channels.

At this time, someone recommended Fisk to him.

Fisk's resume perfectly met Ross's requirements, and the person he recommended had a close working relationship with him.

He was ready to test Fisk, but at the same time, he also made arrangements to control Fisk in advance - Russell.

Letting Russell be the mayor of New York City can restrain Fisk and prevent Fisk from making a fortune by selling arms. More importantly, New York is a relatively important voting base, and Ross doesn't just want to be an army chief of staff.

And Russell was his son-in-law.

In any case, it belongs to his political faction.

There is no possibility of betrayal.

Ross's goal was the same as MacArthur's, both of them wanted to ascend to that throne.

What Ross didn't know was.

Russell and his political ambitions were the same.

But compared with Ross, who holds real power, Russell is now just a son-in-law, and everything he has was given by Ross.

So Russell must start accumulating his own strength.

In America, the prerequisite for accumulating power is money.

However, according to Ross, Russell cannot participate in the arms trade.

He could only be a puppet mayor and do some odd jobs.

Fisk was in charge of all major arms sales.

This made Russell, who thought he had found a good opportunity, immediately come up with the idea of ​​getting rid of Fisk.

After all, it can be said that it was a coincidence that Ross was able to take the stage this time.
