The next day, he picked up his car in Zurich, and on Monday, Jonas went to the town's police station to pick up his guns and uniforms, as required by the notice.

There is no army in Switzerland, but everyone is a soldier. All guns and ammunition are collected from the police station and then kept by yourself, and when you are in service, you need to bring your own guns and bullets.

The police station has only one sergeant and three officers, two field and one in-house.

For decades, their duty was not to protect the safety of the people, because Meghan had not had a case in decades.

On weekdays, their main job is to find cattle and cats, and drive wild animals for the people. They are not in charge of the household registration, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior.

Their office is just a two-room house, one an office-and-meeting room and one a warehouse.

The sergeant and the internal affairs officer have desks, and the two field workers have a police car, and on weekdays, two people take turns driving and patrolling, and they will not stay at the police station.

There were less than 5,000 people in the town, and of course Jonas didn't know most of them, but he could still call the civil servants of some major departments, because he had a contact number and contact list for each department in the town.

"Hello, Sheriff Hausen. ”

The other party obviously knew him, and stood up and stretched out his hand. "Jonas, the Hoffman child. Hello, how can I help you?"

Jonas took out the notice and handed it to him and said, "At the beginning of the month, I went to the city hall to apply for service, and now the notice has been given. I'll get the gun. ”

The internal secretary Iltalon was a woman who weighed almost 180 pounds, a figure rarely seen in Switzerland. Because the Swiss are fitness freaks, the proportion of fat people is far less than in other countries.

She stared at Jonas and said, "We received an official letter from the Ministry of Defense, which surprised both Hausen and I. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Iltaron laughed, "It's rare for a child from a wealthy family like you to apply for military service at the age of eighteen. ”

Jonas laughed self-deprecatingly, "I also want to develop a good habit of training before I get corrupted by money." ”

They laughed, feeling like they were getting closer together.

Meghan is one of the few places in Switzerland that is more polarized, with 10 percent of the rich people living here occupying 70 percent of the land and the treasure land by the lake.

The remaining 20 percent of the population occupies 20 percent of the farms. Seventy percent of the population lives in and around the town. They had no land and could only work as workers.

In many places, there is a great deal of tension between the poor and the rich.

One of the good things about Switzerland is that no one flaunts their wealth, and those who flaunt their wealth are not only looked down upon by the rich, but also by the poor.

Moreover, the voting power of Swiss nationals is very high, and every Swiss person votes at least 50 times a year. From whether or not Switzerland should establish diplomatic relations with a country, to the expulsion of undesirable people in town.

No matter how rich you are, as long as you offend the poor and someone proposes to drive you away, and more than half of them agree, you must go.

And after being evicted, it is difficult to get access to live in small towns and rural communities, so they can only live in cities.

It has been 130 years since the Belgian royal family built Meghan's castle, and they did not contribute anything to Meghan because they often did not live in Meghan a few years ago, and there was a vote against them at that time.

And the Belgian royal family was anxious when they found out, they were very afraid of being expelled, even if they were royal, it was not as big as the local law.

They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate the town's church and sponsor various foundations before the vote failed.

Because the people have such power, the results of flaunting their wealth in Switzerland will be very embarrassing, and they can call a vote to expel you at any time.

Compared to the poor, the number of rich people is far less than that of the poor, so at such times, the rich are weak.

In order not to make people hate the rich, many rich people keep a low profile, even if they buy luxury cars, they also choose the same model to buy, so that others will think that he only has a luxury car.

Because Meghan lives in many celebrities in the world, not only do they not encroach on social welfare, but they can also contribute a lot of taxes to the town every year to subsidize the poor, so the relationship between the two sides is still good.

However, no matter how peaceful it is, there will still be estrangement. Like Jonas, who studied in the town for eight years and made very few friends from ordinary people.

The class is different, the consumption concept is different, and it is difficult to become friends if it is not at the same level.

Poor people like to see rich people laugh at themselves and even make a fool of themselves, and if they do, it will help them achieve a kind of psychological balance.

Hannah taught him since he was a child, even if it makes sense, don't just clash with ordinary people, people not only hate the rich, but also sympathize with the weak.

There is a conflict between the rich and the poor, even if it is actually the case, but in terms of public opinion, it is also the fault of the rich.

If they are like those cheating fathers in China in the previous life, they can't live in a small town at all, and if they live, they will be driven away if they cause trouble, so they can only live in the city.

After completing the formalities, Jonas received a Swiss-made SG550 assault rifle from the police station, which was a 5.6 mm small-caliber assault rifle with a 30-round magazine load.

In addition to the rifle, Jonas also received a wooden box set of 1,680 rounds.

These bullets were to be kept at home, and at least a tenth of them were to be consumed every year thereafter, and the box of bullets had to be consumed within ten years.

And this month-long recruit training, the ammunition consumed was provided by the training camp. Jonas's quota is to increase his shooting score to more than 10 shots and 80 rings within 1,000 rounds, and if he does not meet the standard, he needs to pay for the other bullets consumed.

It's not about Jonas, it's about treating everyone equally.

In short, it is for you to practice marksmanship well, but you can't waste it.

Jonas took the automatic rifles apart, these were new guns, and the butter in them hadn't moved. After checking all the parts for nothing, Jonas fumbled and loaded the gun again.

The bullet box was opened, and inside were two iron boxes, each containing 790 bullets and a new magazine.

All was fine, and Jonas signed his name on the receipt and pressed his handprint.

"Sheriff Howson, is there anything else I must be aware of?"

"In public you should be careful about the separation of bullets, except during the execution of orders, in which case the bullets must be separated. However, this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you rich people travel by car. ”

The separation of the bullets is to prevent the guns from misfiring, and in the past, there were often tragedies in Switzerland where injuries and deaths were caused by misfires.

In addition to these, there are many more things for soldiers to lose their guns. Many soldiers would take their guns on the train or in the car after training, only to lose their guns when they left.

Jonas shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, even though I don't take buses and trains a lot. ”

He laughed. "Need my help?"

This box of ammunition weighed thirty kilograms, and with the guns and marching bags, helmets, sabers, and daggers, forty kilograms, not counting the bedding.

In Switzerland, it is stipulated that each soldier should not carry more than 40 kilograms, but no one would be foolish enough to march with two boxes of ammunition.

Jonas did not refuse his kindness, carrying the gun in the pouch in his left hand and the wooden box in his right hand, while the other small things he helped to move out.

Sometimes, accepting help from others is also a way to bring people closer.

Seeing the brand-new Mercedes, he let out a whoop and circled around the car. "It's a great car, it costs 10,000 Swiss francs, right?"

Jonas nodded. "You can earn enough money to buy one in a year. ”

"I already have a car, at least until it's retired, and I don't want to think about a new one. What's more, it will take me three or four years to save up to buy one, and now the price is rising too fast. ”

Jonas wouldn't discuss the price hike with him, and smiled and opened the trunk.

The bullets were put into the rear trunk, the guns and other things were placed in the back row, and although the two pairs of military boots and two pairs of training boots looked real and finely made, they were probably not as comfortable as a pair of liberation shoes when training.

Hausen had a good time in the driver's seat and got out of the car. "Jonas, choosing to serve means that you have grown up. I hope that you can participate in more social activities in the future, so that more people can know you. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "It may be another four years because I still have to go to college." ”

"It's good to keep it in mind, Meghan is a home for each of us and needs to be maintained by our joint efforts. ”

"Definitely!"

Saying goodbye to Hausen, Jonas left the police station and went up the hillside to a mountain to the west of the town.

This north-south ridge, which separates Meghan from Lucerne, is not high and gentle, and at the top of the hill there is a separate farm, and the nearest neighbour is more than 500 metres away.

This is the Maltes farm, because it is far from the neighbor's house, and the elder Maltes has partnered with the government to open a private shooting range.

The government contributed half of the funds to provide a variety of guns and ammunition, and Maltes paid for these guns and ammunition consumed each year at an affordable price.

Switzerland has a population of less than 7 million, and last year there were more than 15 million guns in the country, and the average person owned more than two guns, including the elderly and children.

This amount, not counting the military guns issued by the Ministry of Defense to male nationals, such as the automatic rifles that Jonas received today, are counted separately.

And this number, there are nearly two million.

Hannah called Maltes yesterday, and when Jonas came, the elder Maltes had already prepared his membership card for Jonas.

The membership card is very cheap, 50 Swiss francs a year, and he can provide long and short guns of different calibers here, which can be used for free.

But there is no fee for the use of guns, but bullets cost money, and it is okay to play with pistols and single-shot guns.

To play with a sniper rifle, a special steel-core bullet costs more than two Swiss francs.

And that kind of automatic submachine gun, as soon as you pull the trigger, thirty rounds of ammunition are gone, although the bullets are cheap, if you want to have fun, the cost is not small!

After completing the membership card, Jonas went to the vehicle registration office to get the license plate, and when he got home, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Hannah had returned from Geneva and had already prepared lunch.
