Knights in the big world of American TV series

Albanian gangs are indeed very low-key in Los Angeles. Their business has basically been focused on human trafficking, and they are 'specialized' in business in Eastern Europe. According to the criminal spectrum, their business scope is very small, and their scope of influence is very narrow.

!

At least for Americans, their 'harm' is very small!

After all, what does it have to do with them Americans?

The United States has always been the focus of public opinion. Whether it is presidential gossip or news of sanctions against a certain country, it will become a hot topic around the world. It is understandable that the United States has such influence, and it is everyone's practical need to care about domestic and foreign political and economic events.

, but as far as Americans are concerned, most of the time they only care about their own domestic news, and sometimes they don’t even have a high regard for domestic news.

The willingness to understand, and the declining number of foreign correspondents year after year, also reflect this problem. In addition to election news in American newspapers, most American people only care about things around them, and do not pay much attention to international and national news. As the world's No. 1

It is not difficult to understand that a powerful country would focus more attention on itself, but the reasons for this situation are worthy of our careful analysis.

The most special thing about the United States compared with other countries is that many of the United States’ previous decisions were influenced by the British Empire. In 1794, in order to cope with the threat of war from Britain at any time, the United States expanded while actively rectifying

In order to avoid the European boycott, the United States began to pursue an inward-looking isolationist policy. In this context, the United States made every effort to build an internal market and relied on regional economic competition to complete the primitive accumulation of economy and capital. At the same time, the United States has a vast land area.

Internal competition is also fierce

Fierce, so before the Civil War, the biggest goal of the United States was to establish a unified and stable domestic market. After the Civil War, the United States completely broke the antagonistic socioeconomic system between the North and the South, and the millions of liberated black slaves gained personal freedom.

At the same time, it also provided a huge labor force and market for the development of the market economy. Since then, the U.S. economy is no longer the opposite of the modern factory system characterized by wage labor in the north and the slave labor system in the south.

It truly became a unified whole.

It is precisely because of this historical reason that in the eyes of Americans, the development and maintenance of the domestic market economy always comes first. The strength of the United States does not rely on those steel bars and cement, but on technological innovation. Many of the most profitable companies in the United States

Companies make more money than small countries. The company that makes the most money is a rich country. Its net profit exceeds that of Tanzania.

, the GDP of many countries such as Iceland, and the basis for achieving this is talent. The United States only accounts for 5% of the world's population, but has nearly 45% of the world's productivity and 40% of its technology products. Apple, IBM, Google and other companies

It is popular all over the world, and at the same time, the domestic market in the United States has also developed greatly due to technology.

As a commodity world, the characteristics of the American market can be reflected through commodities. This reason has also become one of the reasons why Americans only care about themselves and ignore the outside world.

The U.S. market can be said to be the largest and most complex market in the world. The largest here refers to the consumer market. China’s market is superior in size, but its profits are very low. And its complexity lies in the fact that it not only has federal laws and regulations,

Laws and regulations also vary from state to state. In order to adapt to internal needs, we have to put enough energy into the domestic market so as not to run into trouble with the law. There is not enough information about how the external environment changes.

energy to pay attention to. Other differences in the U.S. domestic market include product quality.

Various requirements and restrictions in sales season, advertising and after-sales service have forced Americans to find ways to meet the needs of the domestic market first. Since they attach great importance to the development of the domestic market, they also inadvertently pose challenges to the external trade of other countries to the United States.

It is precisely because its market is large enough that the United States does not need to care about the external environment and changes. Naturally, it has little interest in international events and domestic news. Over time, everyone only cares about things around them. This

In the world, the economy ultimately dominates people's behavior.

Americans (in fact, people from all countries) ignore a lot of things. It is actually a very common thing to ignore people or things outside of your own country. You ignore religions, cultures, countries, subcultures, time differences, etc. that are different from your own.

Political parties, social circles and even neighbors. In most parts of the United States, schools teach

Most of the world history talks about how the United States was formed. The cultures of Asia, West Asia, the Middle East, Native Americans, Eastern Europe and Africa did not contribute much to the birth and development of the United States, so naturally they did not occupy much space. They

Its history and culture are ignored by the American education system.

Many immigrant groups take great pride in preserving their culture, educating children and outsiders (such as Chinatown and Little Tokyo), even though their culture remains unfamiliar to people of other groups. In contrast, in the United States, even for many generations of African descendants,

They are also often excluded from African culture. When black slaves were transported to the United States, they were not gathered together according to a common culture and language.

It is obviously impossible to maintain the cultural heritage of Africa amid constant forced migration (in fact, many descendants of African Americans do not know where their ancestors came from in Africa). In most cases, only those who recently came from Africa

Immigrants maintain a strong connection with African culture. In addition, if the subculture itself comes from the reaction to the American world hegemony,

If a country has challenges to its rights, then the widespread popularization of that culture is very likely to bring hidden dangers to the homeland security of the United States. Most of Africa is tired of dealing with political or economic chaos and does not pose a direct threat to the United States. For example,

South Africa is the only African country with nuclear technology, and it is also the African country that Americans know the most about, except ancient Egypt.

As a final note, border politics in much of Africa were based on forced implantation of European imperialism. One of my history professors once said that such borders were intentionally used to prevent opposing tribes from coalescing into one polity

, pitting them against each other rather than uniting against the Europeans. At this time, naive ignorance is a kind of happiness, not having to face the complexity of their own culture.

Most Americans cannot recognize the governor of California, because every state in the United States is comparable to a country, and it is impossible for them to know other states well except where they live.

So...why do Americans need to know about Albania? What do Albanians do and what does it have to do with them?

In this environment, the human trafficking business of Albanian gangs is actually not a serious crime for Americans. After all, what they do is except to make more Eastern European girls on the streets and let those LSPs

Besides choice, what harm can it bring?

It is also this business philosophy that has led to little conflict between Albanian gangs and local police stations, or even between the government and civilians.

The Albanian gangs are also very smart. They don't go around grabbing territory and fighting with other gangs... After all, they don't need it at all. They only need a small territory to temporarily relocate and divert their 'goods' from Eastern Europe.

, they have no need for territory.

In this way, the possibility of them attracting police attention is further reduced.

The police are also very busy, okay?

You know, Los Angeles is a drug-infested city!

Instead of caring about those Albanian smugglers, they should care about the gangs under their control!

In reality, gang culture has long been prevalent in downtown Los Angeles and South Los Angeles, especially Hispanic and African-American gangs. Some media even call Los Angeles the "gang capital" of the United States. According to police statistics, there are currently about 120,000 gang members.

Active in Los Angeles, South Los Angeles is the area with the most gang members and the most active, including 11 gangs including "204 Street", and has been a long-term target of the Los Angeles police.

How many police officers are there in Los Angeles?

Less than 10,000 people!

They can't control it at all.

Although this unique business philosophy prevents Albanian gangs from thriving in the United States, they still make a lot of money!

At the beginning, these gang members were a little worried about meeting superheroes... After all, this thing is so supermodel that they can't beat it even with an RPG.

But over the next two years, they discovered... Well, as long as we keep a low profile, superheroes won't look down on us at all.

In fact, this is also related to Barry's intelligence source. He usually updates the police's information in real time. Whenever there is a difficult matter, Barry takes the initiative to understand and then solve it! As for the police, the level of attention paid to the Albanian gangs

It’s not high, just on the same level as most community gangsters!

Even if the police actually know that Albanian gangs are dangerous, they are willing to take it easy if they don't cause big trouble.

After all, the American police are not an institution of justice, they are a violent institution that maintains social stability!

What they pursue is never justice, what they pursue is stability!

If you don't cause trouble, he will be happy and relaxed.

So when they suddenly met The Flash, these gang members had no sense of reality at all!

"Flash...Lightning...Flash?!!!"

The only gang member who was still awake seemed to be a fan of The Flash. After meeting Barry, he not only did not call the police to his companions immediately, but also looked at Barry excitedly. It looked like he wanted to rush up to ask for an autograph... too much

The long period of comfort caused them to forget... that they were the perfect targets.

"Um...can I ask, where is your auction? Has it started?"

When Barry asked him about the auction...the gangster brother suddenly came to his senses.

You love your idol, but your idol doesn’t love you!

You are still an idol’s business target!

This is fatal.

Looking at the fallen comrades around him, he suddenly felt that being a traitor was not a big deal. After all, he was a superhero... But this thought just circulated in his mind and disappeared.

After all, he is different from other gangsters.

If members of other gangs rebel, they will rebel. As long as they are not particularly cruel and vicious gangs, they will not rebel after their subordinates. The mobility of members of many gangs is unimaginable.

But the Albanian gang is different. If you dare to rebel... Haha, not only will you die, but your family will die too!

When they come out to hunt for people, they naturally can't bring their family and children with them. They are all in Albania!

This is a typical example of a monk who can run away but cannot run away from the temple!

This is also one of the reasons why Albanian gangs are so fierce... If you don't dare to fight hard, you will not be able to enjoy the fruits of your life when you go back! As for rebellion, it is even more terrible, and your whole family will be killed at every turn.

This is similar to Mexican gangs.

Why are they so rampant? It's not because most of their members' families are actually still in Mexico. If you dare to rebel, it will test the bond of the whole family!

So after hesitating for a second, he decisively pulled out his pistol... To be honest, they didn't like this kind of weapon very much. It has small caliber, low power, small ammunition capacity, and is boring! In their hometown, they set off firecrackers during the New Year.

They don't even use pistols, they just shoot rifles into the sky. Yes, when they set off firecrackers, they shoot guns into the sky... But this is the United States. It's normal to have a pistol. The old lady next door has several pistols in her name, but

A semi-automatic rifle or a rifle is a bit much.

He thought very well. Shooting by himself might not cause harm to the Flash, but as long as he fired, it would be equivalent to a warning.

It can be regarded as completing his obligation.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, he can still be confident that he will fight until the last moment.

It's a pity... He obviously underestimated his idol. Just when he was about to draw his gun, Barry moved.

The most important reason why Barry can adapt to his speed force is that he has unparalleled dynamic vision. With Barry's speed, the average human eye capture frequency is actually very low. Seeing things is just a quick glance, and everything is gone in a blink of an eye.

After it passed, nothing could be seen. But that was not the case with Barry. Once he started, the world seemed to slow down countless times in his eyes, and he could see clearly.

It is also because of this super-standard dynamic vision that he can easily see anything clearly.

There is no need to worry about bumping into people while running on the road. (For example, the locomotive in the Black Panther Picket accidentally knocked the girlfriend of one of the protagonists into bloody foam)

When the gangster boy was just about to make a move, Barry could see it clearly.

Then in an instant, Barry activated and then counterattacked!

Here we have to sigh again about the terrifying nature of the Speed ​​Force. If any object is hit at such a high speed, even just a piece of cloth, hitting a person at supersonic speed, it can kill the person directly. But Barry

But it can control the force accurately.

He doesn't kill people!
