Chapter 1645

Batman had never doubted whether Cat Getan needed him. Cat Getan needs every person with justice in their hearts. Even if they can't save it, they can at least make it a little better.

Batman's way of saving Cat Getan is to strike at criminals, but now a problem has arisen: who is a criminal?

Or rather, who is not a criminal?

This is like, in a group of ten people, one person takes a knife and hacks the other nine. Batman definitely goes to strike at this one person. But if ten people each have a knife and hack each other, things become a bit difficult to handle.

If these ten people are snatching while hacking, and being snatched while snatching, but are also enjoying it, and even not running at all, then ordinary people will choose to respect and bless, just don't die at my door.

Now the Uptown district and Midtown district are a mess, and the residents of the densely populated Downtown district are actively participating in the war. Seventy percent of the population in a city is fighting, and they are fighting happily, without the decadence and sadness of being ravaged by war.

It can even be said that this period of time is the most prosperous period in Cat Getan in ten years.

First of all, fighting for territory cannot do without increasing the population. The family residences of various families absorb a large number of Downtown residents, which well solves the unemployment wave caused by sanctions and economic downturn. Gangsters are the specialty of the era of unemployment.

Secondly, consolidating the security measures of family residences requires a large amount of supplies, and transporting supplies requires logistics, and building a logistics system requires more supplies, which greatly drives the city's consumption demand. The various things in the residence are built for real. To some extent, it can be considered as developing real industry.

Finally, war will inevitably consume weak individuals, while at the same time opening up upward channels for robust young individuals. Because personnel loss is high, position iteration is fast, and the position of gangster thug does not require any high-difficulty technology. Academic qualifications and class barriers almost do not exist. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can ride the east wind of the times and move forward, going further and further on the road of crime.

There are a large number of employment opportunities, a large amount of capital invested in real industry, economic dividends distributed to the bottom, and upward channels for seeking more benefits or realizing self-worth are opened. This can temporarily eliminate almost all contradictions, make the poisonous grass on this chaotic land take root downwards, and then climb upwards to grow new, good, and healthy branches.

Of course, war can never be beautiful. Such chaos means the loss of thousands of lives. When Batman stands at the highest point of Cat Getan and looks down, he can hear desperate wailing every second, but the sound of artillery fire is even more deafening.

Shattering in the artillery fire, or dying silently in the delicate and lingering rainy night—neither of these is a good choice, but Batman knows Cat Getan people too well. Even if given a thousand or ten thousand more opportunities, they would still choose the first one.

These rare villains in the world never feel that they are pitiful. They will only spray hotter smoke than the hell flue from their gun-barrel-like tracheas. Even if they die, they will let their evil blood splash further, so that everyone knows that besides them, no one is worthy of being deeply sinful.

Batman doesn't pity them either, because this bloody flower that only needs a rain to fully bloom is the good fruit they desperately seek. But Batman cannot accept it, absolutely cannot accept that there is not even a drop of his in this rain.

Whether Cat Getan is good or bad, Batman cannot just be a spectator. It is even more impossible for him to leave Cat Getan alone in this era of intense change. Even if someone must stand on the crest of the wave in this era, it must be him, forever him.

On another rainy night, that black cloak, deeper than the night, cut through the rain lines and dived down. Listening carefully, the sound of artillery fire was duller than usual, like the spring thunder that broke the stone and shocked the world when the cold retreated and all things began to grow.

Batman joined this chaotic feast, but not in the identity of Batman.

Even though the ones guarding by his side were still his birds, this time, Batman became the leader of the Nive family, walking through the process of gangster family establishment and hegemony as an insider rather than a law enforcer.

Batman had mixed into the gangsters with the fake identity of Matches Malone, but still the same sentence, in the years after his debut, the gangsters of Cat Getan were no longer a climate. Calling them gangsters, they were just a half-black and half-gray interest group like the Iceberg Lounge created by the Penguin.

But this time, Batman participated in the complete process of establishing a traditional gangster family, or it should be said, the process of establishing an Italian-American family-style gangster.

The biggest characteristic of family-style gangsters is that many things cannot be based on profit, but must be based on righteousness. You must value feelings, talk about family affection, and the bond of family blood or feelings is the cage that restricts violence, and also the biggest thrust for drawing a knife quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

The essence of manipulation is love. If the gangster leader only talks about profit, then his subordinates will eventually betray him because of profit. If you want to hold the dog chain firmly in your hand, naturally you have to talk about love and feelings.

Feelings are something no one can explain clearly. It is a muddled account that can never be calculated clearly. If a person makes everyone else have the illusion that they are loved, then everyone owes him, and everyone must respect him, love him, and be loyal to him.

To truly develop the Nive family, which actually only has an empty shell, Bruce must first recruit personnel. But in the process of recruiting personnel, he found that almost all family leaders adopted the personality charm style of recruitment without exception.

Simply put: I don't talk to you about money or treatment. You just need to know that I never treat my subordinates badly. Following me has meat to eat. I can accept you, understand you, and reuse you more than others. What is valued is that a scholar dies for his confidant.

Bruce, who has sufficient experience in operating modern companies, had to start comparing the human resource models of modern companies and traditional gangsters to see what the difference was, and why the recruitment model of company systems didn't work.

After trying a few times, Bruce discovered that the key problem still lies in the difference in the nature of work and danger.

How the ordinary work of blowing air conditioning and knocking on keyboards in the office is done has little to do with the boss's character. Even if the boss is poorly managed and the company goes bankrupt, at most it is unemployment, and finding another job is fine.

But war really kills people. Although all job seekers who are determined to be gangster thugs have prepared for death, who doesn't want to live a little longer?

They must get a guarantee that their immediate boss has principles, values feelings, is intelligent, and energetic, so that they won't take their subordinates to die because of selfishness or stupidity.

If their boss's personality charm is not even looked upon by themselves, then what smart person would be willing to follow him? If there are no smart people and professionals, then isn't going to the battlefield completely sending them to die?

Under these circumstances, Bruce had to adjust his conversation style. The elite businessman image of being shrewd and capable, and talking about various market data and market knowledge, had to be abandoned. No one here talks to you about stock trends.

What everyone cares about is whether the defense line on the flank of the base is arranged, how the action of attacking the adjacent street tomorrow is arranged, whether the bullets are enough, and how long the people of a certain family on the opposite side can persist.

As omnipotent as Batman, he immediately changed his past style, almost instantly adjusting to the head image that gangster thugs like most: walking with wind, arrogant and domineering but loyal, attacking like fire, and defending steadily like an old dog.

But soon, Bruce discovered another problem: the thugs gathered in the Nive family were incredibly young, and the vast majority were teenagers of sixteen or seventeen.

Although people who dare to come out to do this work have long been physically developed, even if they are young, they look like strong young men from the outside. But Bruce really can't understand. It's fine to have a few such young men, but at least eight out of ten are such teenagers.

There is another place that is wrong, which also makes Bruce a bit puzzled. Although he transformed his style of doing things and approached the gangster style as much as possible, he would occasionally reveal the side belonging to Batman. Bruce was trying his best to avoid the appearance of such a situation, mainly because he also knew that as a gangster family leader, Batman's personality was not very pleasing.

But every time Bruce inadvertently revealed the side belonging to Batman, these young subordinates of his would show fanatical worship, and the more Batman was silent and didn't explain, the more fanatical the atmosphere was.

Although these two phenomena are strange, the development brought to the Nive family is indeed very positive. On the one hand, fists fear the young and strong. Gangster warfare is simply an amplified version of street fighting. The age advantage is still very favorable.

Young people dare to fight, react quickly, accept new knowledge relatively easily during training, and their minds are very flexible. Even from Batman's extremely picky and harsh eyes, he can pick out a few moldable talents from among them to serve in key positions.

And they worship Bruce to the point of fanaticism, naturally loyal, and there is no problem with execution, and can even be described as pointing where to hit and obeying orders. This is something many other gangsters cannot do, naturally being able to help the Nive family occupy an advantage.

But even so, Batman, this hopeless skeptic and control freak, still wants to know what caused this phenomenon?

Thus, he began a comprehensive investigation, and also visited among his subordinates, wanting to figure out why it seemed that all the young people in Cat Getan had gathered to him.

Batman checked for a full three days, from the research on the problem of low birth rate in Cat Getan to the outlook on the arrival of the aging era in Cat Getan. He checked the entire population fertility structure of Cat Getan City, and after careful analysis, he found that the problem should not be with Cat Getan, but with him.

Then, he conducted another self-investigation and reflection. Just when he was about to feel that it was his problem, Batman suddenly realized—

The person responsible for the initial screening of members in the Nive family is Tim Drake, his Red Robin.
