American TV series

Chapter 275:

Racial conflicts in Los Angeles have escalated to the level of riots, and all sectors of American society are paying attention.

From Mayor Tom Bradley to California Governor Pete Wilson, including Reagan.

I don’t know whether it’s due to procrastination or other reasons, but the 2,000 National Guard troops requested by Mayor Tom have not yet arrived.

Reagan was already preparing his speech.

However, no one expected to see such a scene on TV so early in the morning.

Mayor Tom is totally stupid, Umbrella, Sean Rockefeller!

Of course he knew this person, but he never expected that Protective Umbrella would be involved in this riot.

However, it’s not surprising if you think about it carefully.

He also heard that Sean caused a scene in the conference room and forced the seven major companies to agree to make Sean Pictures the eighth largest company.

At times like this, it's not surprising that the eight major companies would seek help from a protective umbrella.

I just didn’t expect that the protective umbrella would be so ruthless!!

"How many people died in conflicts in Los Angeles last night?" Mayor Tom immediately asked the team members.

"It's impossible to estimate, but it's certain that there will be dozens of people. Every day, several people die in various conflicts and shootings in Los Angeles. It was so violent last night."

"Is there any report?"

"Of course not!"

The reality is that many conflicts result in deaths, and both parties have a tacit agreement not to call the police.

Neither party is a clean person, so it would be troublesome for everyone to call the police.

As long as you don't call the police, there will be no records. This is true in every country.

"How to deal with this matter? Will it escalate the conflict?" Tom scratched his head irritably.

After a brief discussion, everyone in the team shook their heads and said, "We don't think so. The umbrella is a private organization and has no political overtones, so there is no way to apply the term 'racial discrimination'."

"Moreover, we doubt whether the rioters have the guts to find trouble with the umbrella. They are not a government organization, and they don't care about reputation or votes. They are really unscrupulous in their actions."

"To be honest, we think the blood can calm down the rioting crowd a lot and play a positive role in stabilizing the situation in Los Angeles."

"Okay, no need to say anything!" Tom interrupted: "As long as it doesn't make the situation in Los Angeles more chaotic, prepare your speech immediately. I want to give a speech to the public."

"OK!"

…

On the other side, Governor Pete Wilson's team came to a similar conclusion.

"Urge the National Guard to move out."

If civil society organizations respond so quickly, it will only appear that the government organizations are procrastinating, and everyone will lose face.

In the governor's view, the Eighth National Congress was expressing dissatisfaction to the outside world.

Yes, dissatisfied with the government's response measures and speed of response.

The Eight are not only the eight world-renowned film companies, but also the eight largest financial backers.

In addition, the Big Eight can influence almost all Hollywood stars, and stars can influence the direction of fans' votes in elections.

There are countless cases where celebrities side with politicians, and they all vote with their feet anyway.

Therefore, the power of the Eighth National Congress to influence public opinion is so powerful that no politician dares to underestimate it, let alone offend it easily.

…

Reagan rubbed his brows in distress, "This Sean can always come up with something new for me."

"It's not bad." Old Bu smiled, "This is a blow to the Donkey Party. Look, look, what kind of trouble they have made. Hollywood actually needs the protection of a private company. It's really, really outrageous.

"

Reagan laughed, no matter whether this statement was correct or not, he would stand up for Sean.

This is not because of previous favors, this is because of Hollywood.

Reagan was a Hollywood actor. During the election campaign, Hollywood put in a lot of effort!

No matter what, he has to stand up for Hollywood.

It was precisely because Reagan came to power that the control over Hollywood media groups began to be gradually relaxed, and Murdoch was just one of them.

Others include Universal, Disney, Paramount, Warner, etc., all of which have formed media groups covering film, television, and music.

The Bada is entertainment, and entertainment is the Bada.

…

With reports from major television stations, news about the Umbrella Company's response to the riots suddenly became abundant.

During this period, the news of the protective umbrella directly suppressed the riot itself, and major TV stations followed each other.

From the scene to the police, from the police to the hospital.

Soon the context of the matter became clear.

In just about 40 minutes, seven waves of people headed toward Hollywood, but all were stopped by Umbrella Company security.

"According to our understanding, because the riots themselves almost paralyzed traffic, in these seven conflicts, the hospital ambulances were unable to arrive in time, resulting in the best treatment time being missed, resulting in a total of more than 160 people losing their lives."

When this number came out, everyone in front of the TV was frightened. This is so fucking crazy!

The chaos in Los Angeles in one day is not as many people died in just 40 minutes in the morning.

Titles such as butcher, executioner, murderer, etc. are all given to the umbrella company.

"So, more than 20 people from our gang died at the hands of Umbrella?" In a villa in southern Los Angeles, a burly Latino man covered with tattoos said with a twisted face.

"Yes, they were all beaten to death!" A man sitting next to him sighed.

"I told you a long time ago, don't get involved, don't get involved, you don't fucking listen, Fake, Fake!" The man cursed loudly and irritably.

No one in the room spoke.

After a while, someone said, "What should we do now?"

"What to do? What to do? What to do?" The man began to roar again: "Organize hundreds or even thousands of people to attack the umbrella position, fight with them, and then see how many people can be killed!?"

"That's a real fucking professional military organization, we're gangsters, gangsters, gangsters."

"I also know that it's impossible to confront them head-on, but we have to do something now, and we can't let our reputation be trampled on like this."

"I don't fucking know!" the man cursed irritably.

After taking a few deep breaths, he asked: "What's the reaction from Florence? Where are the Blood Gang and Crip Gang?"

"They are all keeping silent."

Apparently, several other gangs were also in trouble.

The gang's business is drug trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, and robbery, while the umbrella's business is not only killing, but better killing.

It is impossible to use your own interests to challenge other people's careers.

With other people, gangsters can act violently, but when they encounter a protective umbrella, they think about how to speak nicely.

So as not to look embarrassed.

The gangs in Los Angeles fell silent.

wait,

Wait for the other gangs to speak first!

…

This time, the protective umbrella hit hard, which really poured cold water on the riot, and the restless anger was forcibly cooled down.

Just as the gangs were thinking about how to respond, a Black Hawk helicopter took off from the Los Angeles Airport and headed straight over Hollywood.

Full of Black Hawks, full of rocket nests, full of Hellfire missiles, and a cannon hanging below!

The pilot flew around Hollywood with a gesture of disbelief!

The helicopters of each radio station consciously backed away a hundred meters the moment they saw the Black Hawk.

Through the lens of the TV station, the audience in front of the TV looked horizontally and vertically from all angles, and after repeated viewings, they saw two words from the umbrella logo on the fuselage:

Arrogant!

It wasn't over yet. Not long after, news came that two more armored vehicles had arrived from the airport.

Armored vehicles still have the umbrella logo!

"Um, what." The major gangs became calmer after seeing this on TV.

Those who come out to hang out are all for the joy of swordsmanship, and there is absolutely no need to fight and kill!

"I remember there was a Jonas family over there in New Jersey."

"There is such a family, but I have never come into contact with it."

"The Jonas family is in Newark, and the Umbrella headquarters is also in Newark. There's no way it's not related!"

"Find a way to contact them and express our attitude on 18th Street."

"Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea."

The two sides are on the east coast and the other on the west coast. They have no contact at all and do not understand many things.

Of course, it's not difficult to get information. After all, there is a line that can actually connect them.

Poisonous...

After asking around, I discovered that there was indeed one of my own, a Latino named Gustavo, over there.

Everyone has connections with Mexican drug lords, they are all of Mexican origin, and their businesses are different.

That would be easy. I got Gustavo’s phone number through connections.

After a long time, Gustavo hung up the phone, reached out and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, feeling very good.

As long as you are watching TV, it is not difficult to think of the reason why these people came to you to ask about Jonas.

Gustavo also doesn't know whether Jonas did anything during the Los Angeles riots.

But he knew that these gangs were doomed from the moment they contacted Jonas.

It's not that Jonas is cruel, but Sean.

Gustavo knows Sean very well. As long as the Jonas family's tentacles extend there, Sean will definitely not allow anyone who can threaten the Jonas family to exist in Los Angeles.

The four major gangs are hopeless and waiting to die. Farewell!

On the other side, the people from the four major gangs also looked confused.

If you don't ask, you won't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.

The Jonas family is not a poisonous family, but they collect land taxes...

It took just over a year for the Jonas family to replace the original established mafia family Dimio.

This Jonas is closely related to Umbrella.

Bah, black and white collusion!

Not to mention how much these things shocked these major gangs, it strengthened their determination to contact Umbrella through Jonas immediately.

The two lines of black and white are enough for people to understand.

…

On the other side, inside Sean's villa.

After hanging up the phone, Jonas smiled and looked at Sean and Bill, "Gustavo, he informed me that several gangs on 18th Street asked him about me."

"It's almost done." Sean picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Let's meet them, um, in Hollywood."

"Haha, I'm afraid that they won't dare to come." Bill laughed loudly.

"If you don't dare to come, then it doesn't matter. If you don't have the courage and courage to be a gang, just go and die." Sean said lightly.

"Yes!" Bill and Jonas nodded.

One is pure black, and the other is a combination of black, white and gray. The two of them don't take the current four major gangs seriously at all.

…

When it was past 10 o'clock, Tom Bradley came to the TV station and was the first to stand up and give a televised speech, "I support you in using words to express your anger, but I don't want you to resort to violence! This way

Doing so will only undermine all the positive efforts we have made in the past..."

As one of the current black leaders, Tom's words set the tone for the matter. Riots are wrong.

This is tantamount to making the entire riot completely untenable.

It can be regarded as an indirect delay for the actions of the umbrella company.

Here Tom finished his speech, and on the other side, in Washington, President Reagan also gave a televised speech.

Reagan publicly stated his strong opposition to riots and stated on television that he would not tolerate the "anarchy" in Los Angeles and would not tolerate any behavior that brought riots to society or the country, and would resolutely and severely fight back.

Counterattack, these two speak very well!

Sean said it was great.

…

"Can you help me communicate with the umbrella?"

"Of course, that's no problem, we are all black brothers."

"No need to ask me to be so polite. In this way, wait half an hour and someone will come to pick you up."

"Okay, that's it, hang up." Jonas hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer.

On the other side, the boss of the Blood Gang looked confused and shouted several times until a blind tone came from the phone.

"What's going on?" asked the second-in-command of the Blood Gang next to him.

"I don't even know the hell, he just said someone would pick me up within half an hour." The boss of the Blood Gang hung up the phone with a look of confusion on his face.

Damn it, are you the Riddler!

It's not that Jonas was rude, it was mainly because he had to answer calls from four people.

After making contact here, Bill immediately ordered Black Hawk to set off to pick up the person.

At this time, the benefits of general helicopters can be seen.

If this were Apache, besides killing people,

Or kill people.

…

Ten minutes later...

Suddenly, a small building in the Inglewood area suddenly started to have chickens and dogs jumping up and down.

A group of old black men were shouting in panic, looking for weapons, cover, and everything else.

"Quiet the hell, shit!" The leader of the Blood Gang shouted bitterly, but his body was also trembling.

Any gang leader would tremble if he found out he was being pointed at by 38 rockets and 8 hellfires.

The armed helicopter with the protective umbrella that appeared on the TV suddenly appeared at the Blood Gang headquarters.

In fact, he vaguely understood the meaning of picking him up...

Especially after seeing a soldier descend directly at a high speed.

"Mr. Tony, right? We have a request."

"Ah, okay." Boss Tony showed a smile and forced himself to calm down. He reached out and touched the big gold chain around his neck. He must not lose his dignity.

After calling his two men, Tony followed the soldier and climbed up the rope ladder.

To be honest, he is indeed rich, but I have never flown in this kind of military armed helicopter. It is very novel.

They are both rich people, but there is no way a gang leader can be as handsome as a rich man doing regular business.

The helicopter takes off, turns, and reaches its target.

Armstrong's consulting company already has information on the major gangs in Los Angeles, including where they are based and who their main members are. Just click on the map to find out.

In fact, everyone knows a lot of things, and the police also know...

A few minutes later, Tony looked at the lame gang below, grinning widely and laughing.

After a while, the leader of the Crip Gang also climbed up, and was stunned when he saw Tony.

"Why are you here!"

"Nonsense, of course my identity ranks before you, an idiot. It's obvious to all, isn't it?" Tony said proudly. As a human being, he longs for recognition and support from others.

The more those who fish for side projects, the more eager they are to be recognized by mainstream society.

"Fuck, fuck you." The leader of the Crip Gang didn't know how to retort, so he could only curse fiercely.

In this way, Tony laughed even more unscrupulously.

The leader of the Crip Gang was breathing more and more heavily. Black people don't have the culture of calmly responding to someone who kills his father's enemy.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and there was no need to bear it any longer. I pounced on him and fought with Tony.

On both sides, six people struggled together in an instant, and the helicopter inevitably shook in the air.

"Stop, damn it!" Two soldiers from the security company immediately took out their guns and put them on the heads of the two bosses.

In fact, as soon as the helicopter swayed, the two bosses stiffened.

Hundreds of meters high in the air, without any footing, I naturally felt unsure.

It's okay now, there is a step down.

"Okay, what I want to say is that the pick-up route is completely based on the distance." The person who came to pick up the airport was an old black man. He put down his gun and sighed, "All the strongholds of your gangs are on our map.

marked."

As he spoke, a map was photographed in front of the two of them.

Lame Gang, Blood Gang:???

Looking at the densely packed markings on the map, the two of them looked confused.

No, you are an East Coast security company, why do you have irrelevant West Coast gang maps?

An inexplicable chill arose.

The people in the umbrella obviously saw the thoughts of both parties, "Military organizations, man, isn't intelligence the most important?"

You're right, tell me, you must not have been plotting against us for a long time, right?

With that said, the helicopter stopped and began to land.

The two people who got off the helicopter immediately saw the old black man in a suit standing not far away.

Surrounded by camouflage uniforms, that person was extremely eye-catching.

"Tom, Tony, hahaha, guys, I finally see you." Jonas walked up with a smile.

"Jonas!" they both shouted in unison and walked up quickly.

Jonas watched in amusement as the two of them bumped into each other and pushed against each other, tearing each other apart without letting the other one get ahead.

In the end, the Crip Gang pushed Tom to be stronger and took the lead.

Using a set of "boxing techniques" to say hello to black people, it seems that both parties become familiar with each other in an instant.

That's what Lao Hei is like.

After chatting for a while, the helicopter came back again and people from 18th Street and 13th Street arrived.

After meeting each other, Jonas greeted several people into the building and ordered several cups of coffee to be served. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The four major gangs usually have their own territory and are hostile to each other, especially the brothers below. They fight every day, and people lose their lives every three days. Over time, it is no exaggeration to say that we are not together.

If it hadn't been for the sudden arrival of a dragon crossing the river in Los Angeles, it would have been impossible for the four of them to meet.

"Okay, I pretty much understand what everyone is here for." Jonas simply got straight to the point, "I said I can do it as the owner of the umbrella. What do you think?"

The four of them looked at each other and nodded in unison. The armed helicopters had already been mobilized, so why bother talking?

"The conflict between the people below means nothing. Business is business. You don't need to worry about this."

As soon as these words came out, the four gang leaders all breathed a sigh of relief.

What they are now afraid of is that the police will launch retaliatory actions after the riots.

They are not afraid of the police. Both parties have mutual consideration and interests.

What they are afraid of is what kind of agreement is reached between the top management and the umbrella, which will be bad.

Jonas seemed not to notice the relieved look of several people, and continued to talk to himself: "I have invited you all to come here because I have other things to explain. Our leaders have always believed that it is straightforward enough to explain things on the surface, and it is not

What unnecessary misunderstandings will arise?"

Hearing what Jonas said, the four people's hearts became excited again.

The word "head" makes them panic.

"Umbrella will set up a branch on the West Coast in the future, located in Los Angeles, and the Jonas family, who are one and the same with two sides, will also settle in Los Angeles."

"When the time comes, I'd like to ask the four of you to come along for your convenience."

The four people stood up suddenly, gritted their teeth and looked at Jonas.

Jonas lowered his head and took out a box of cigars from his pocket, took out one, and slowly trimmed it.

The movements are neither fast nor slow, and have their own charm.

I have learned it for a long time, and it is a powerful tool for showing off.

The four of them just stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If Umbrella wants to enter Los Angeles, it must have communicated with the city government. This kind of thing is beyond their control.

And once the umbrella enters Los Angeles, they can't stop the Jonas family from following suit.

There is absolutely no way to stop it.

Without this riot, they could still use this as a bargaining chip.

Now……

Damn Rod King!

They have no cards in their hand.

"What are you doing standing here? Come on, take a real Cuban cigar, given by the Guantánamo base. Try it. It tastes very good." Jonas made a cigar and started smoking by himself.

"Okay, no matter whether you call me today or not, nothing will change."

"Tell me something political."

"Every time Mayor Tom Bradley's campaign manifesto emphasizes solving the increasingly serious security problems in Los Angeles, however, he is a black man and he has never been able to truly control the Los Angeles Police Department. You should know this very well."

"The emergence of the umbrella allowed him to see the power from a third party. We have had successful experience in New Jersey, so whether it is for political future or power, Mayor Tom needs an umbrella."

"And then there's the economics."

"The upper class needs a stable, calm, and harmonious Los Angeles, which can maximize everyone's interests."

"Why, don't you smoke cigars?"

"It's so weird, haha." Jonas smiled and looked up at the four of them. "It's okay. I know it's hard to make a decision. I'll wait for a few calls. I'm easy to talk to. If anything happens, we'll talk to you later.

.”

"As we have said, the world is not about fighting and killing." Jonas stood up, and regardless of whether the four of them wanted it or not, he took the other person's hand and shook it.

"That's it, I'll arrange a car to take you back."

Looking at the four people walking away without saying a word, Jonas chuckled and said,

The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about killing and killing...

Reasonable?

That's an official,

square?

Well, that’s not necessarily the case...

However, in the underground world, if you kill all the unreasonable people, then the remaining people will want to reason with you...

………

…

I went out to play with my naughty children on May Day and temporarily used my mobile phone to code, which was a bit frustrating.

I have no choice but to take my children out for a long time.

I am middle-aged...

When my children start school, I will actively make up for it.
