Chapter 375: The Situation in Phil City

"Please don't panic, go to the nearest air-raid shelter in an orderly manner, there is plenty of space and plenty of food in the air-raid shelter, so please don't be nervous to go to the shelter as usual, if there is a problem, please ask the nearest PLA or city defense force for help. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"A female soldier of the city defense army wearing a gray military uniform and a steel helmet on her head stood on a multi-purpose infantry vehicle, shouting through the loudspeaker above to the crowd next to her, while next to the multi-purpose infantry vehicle, two PLA soldiers with rifles on their backs were guarding the surrounding situation while helping the city defense army who was guiding the crowd beside them.

Now, in the entire city of Feier, both TV and radio stations are constantly broadcasting pre-recorded messages to guide residents to air-raid shelters, and the streets and alleys are also full of radio trucks and city defense troops reminding and guiding the masses to evacuate, and the whole city looks like a boiling soup pot from the sky, and there are crowds of people everywhere.

"That, may I ask the military master. Just when a city defense soldier was holding a rifle cross-body and holding a light stick for directing traffic in both hands to guide the crowd, a middle-aged man walked over cautiously, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and respectfully put it in front of the city defense soldier and said, "Master Jun, may I ask, do you know where we are going?"

"Go to the bomb shelter, I heard that the enemy attack is coming soon, so the mayor told you to go to the bomb shelter to hide. The city guards didn't mind at all, took the cigarette handed by the other party, and stuffed it into their mouths.

While the city defense soldier was lighting a cigarette, the middle-aged man asked cautiously, "That military master, there is something else I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's just after that, that somewhere. ”

"Bomb shelter?"

"Yes, yes, it's the bomb shelter, and after that, it's the one that we don't have to pay any fees. The man rubbed his hands together and said with some distress, his eyes always subconsciously glanced behind him when he spoke, the city guard followed his line of sight, only to see a woman and two children hiding in a shadow, the woman looked carefully inside from time to time, and the two children were a little uneasy shaking the woman's hands and kept saying something.

These should be his family members, the city defense soldier raised his steel helmet, I don't know why he suddenly wanted to joke with the man in front of him, only to see him suddenly change into a bitter and hateful expression and asked seriously: "Then excuse me, do you have a city resident card?"

"I'm working on that thing.,I went there a few days ago, but there were too many people, so it didn't work.,I'm about to go these days.,This happened.,So ......"

"That means no, right?" the city guard sighed and pretended to be embarrassed, "It's not easy to do, it doesn't cost you to go to that bomb shelter if you have a city resident certificate, but if you don't...... It's hard to do, it's really hard to do. ”

"Then the military master, how much does it cost?"

"Three gold coins for an adult man, twice as many for a woman and three times as a child. ”

"Ahh......h

"I said uncle, I can't do this matter is all decided from above," the city defense soldier patiently explained, "Besides, the air-raid shelter is very large, just add another 100 mouths, no, even if you add another 10,000 mouths, there is still room for space, the real thing is food, go to the air-raid shelter and the three meals are all managed by the government, of course you have to charge more." ”

"But the child doesn't eat much, three times as much...... Isn't it just nine gold coins?!"

"That's what you say, but do you know that the government takes into account that children grow up, and they are equipped with nutritious meals, and they eat better than our adults, of course, they need more money, women are weak, and they are easy to get sick if they eat too poorly, and of course, the treatment is also free, so the money actually includes part of the cost of medicine. ”

"So, can I buy them all as men?"

"This ...... Well...... I really don't know, or else, you see, ouch!" just as the city defender was talking energetically, a fist slammed into the steel helmet above his head from behind, and he squatted on the ground in pain after being shaken so hard that he cried out in pain.

"I didn't pay attention for a while, and you started to grind and fight here, don't you want to be locked up again!" I don't know when, a female soldier of the city defense army wearing a lady's military uniform has stood behind him, and the city defense soldier has changed his face when he arrives at this woman, he hurriedly stood up like seeing a cat and mouse, and then adjusted his military uniform and saluted and said: "Squad leader!"

"That, military master, this woman is ......" The man asked strangely as he looked at the city defense soldiers in front of him, who seemed to have suddenly changed into a person.

"She, she's my class president. He said in a somewhat startled voice.

"Hello sir," the female soldier stretched out her hand to the man and said to him apologetically, "He was joking with you just now, the air-raid shelter and other facilities are open to the soldiers and civilians in the city for free, and there will be no charge, please rest assured." ”

"Master Jun, no, Jun, Jun ......"

"Please call me comrade. She learned this from the People's Liberation Army she had just met, and although she didn't know what the word comrade meant, it didn't seem to be wrong to use it now.

"That, comrade, are you?"

"The leader of the third squad of the sixth company and six platoons of the second regiment of the first infantry brigade of the third infantry division of the city defense army, Zhou Hanlan. She saluted him and said, "Your family is over there, and if it's a child, there's a special truck over there to help you." ”

"Thank you, thank you. The man looked at her gratefully and said.

"Nothing, this is what we should do, okay please don't stay here any longer, the enemy attack doesn't know when it will come, the sooner you get to the bomb shelter, the safer it is, act quickly, hurry up. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Such a scene is only a corner of the entire Phil City, and in fact, every minute of this scene is constantly playing.

In the office, Bill, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the crowded streets below and sighed secretly.

"Mr. Mayor," he said, there was a knock at the door, and he turned his head to see a young girl in a business uniform holding a stack of folders in one hand and standing in front of the door with the other hand on the door.

"What's the matter, Jasmine, have the evacuation and resettlement of the citizens been completed?"

"Mr. Mayor, it's actually the entrepreneurs in the city who want to see you to see what happened, and they seem to be very upset that they don't know anything about the whole thing, and they want you to give them a reasonable explanation. Jasmine said as she took out a pair of glasses from her pocket and put them on her face, then took a document.

"Explanation? I want an explanation. Bill sighed and then took out a red-headed document that had just been sent out on the sofa behind the desk and said with a wry smile, "There is no information on hand, nothing to tell us except for the city's security and evacuation of residents, this meeting is really interesting, to tell those guys, there is no explanation, there is only one way in front of them, that is, to follow the government's arrangement, don't think that the government gives them the right to really take themselves as masters, in my eyes they are still those landlords!"

"Yes, yes! Well, Mayor, there's one more thing. Jasmine put all the documents in her arms on the ground and took out a special document from it and reported to him: "Mr. Mayor, the chamber of commerce and the auction house in the city have asked us to block the roads in and out of the city, and open the city gates to allow them to leave here, will you let them go?"

This guy should have gotten some information from the Assas Empire, but it's not surprising, in fact, when Bill was still the lord of the city, the auction house and chamber of commerce in Phil City were the regional headquarters of this area, and most of the chambers of commerce and auction houses in this area were concentrated here, so for the Assas Empire, which regarded wealth as fate, protecting their talents was their top priority.

"Since you want to leave, then tell them that you don't have to go, since you have been in our Feier City for so long, it is half of the people of Feier City, how can we not provide protection for them at such a critical time? Tell them that they don't have to go, we will take care of all the food and accommodation, they just need to give me a quiet and obedient arrangement, but if there are people who want to break in, then I don't have to be polite, inform the city defense army that once they find that they want to forcibly break through and leave the city, they will be regarded as enemy spies, and they must be killed on the spot! ”

"However, Mr. Mayor, if we do this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to cooperate with those chambers of commerce in the future, and the losses caused by that time may be very serious......" Jasmine pushed her glasses with some concern, judging from the financial statements, the taxes paid by these chambers of commerce and auction houses do account for a considerable part of the financial revenue, and if you really lose them, it will indeed be a big loss.

"Financial loss? He straightened the papers on his desk and said casually, "Do you really think that we really live on taxes now?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not," Bill said as he looked at Jasmine like a teacher looking at a student, "If it was before, it would be true, but now it's not the former Phil City, and I'm not the original city lord, but a mayor, do you know what I mean?"

"I don't understand. ”

"Huh...... I don't think I have the talent to be a teacher. Bill covered his forehead and said self-deprecatingly, "To put it simply, do you feel that there are a lot more people in official positions and some people handling official business now?"

"Yes, because there are more residents in the city, there should be more people in charge. ”

"Yes, that's it. He stuffed the documents in his hand into the folder, then looked at the clock hanging on the wall, confirmed that there was some time left, and continued: "There are many people in charge, but the main source of tax payment has not changed much, how do the salaries of those civil servants come from?"

"This ...... Residents' taxes?"

"That's a small fraction of the huge tax revenue from the Chamber of Commerce, and even maintaining its own welfare system is already stretched. ”

"That, that, that...... Should be...... Not...... I used to be just a maid, how do I know that, after all, the mayor hates it, and knows how to bully me!"

"This ......" Looking at Jasmine's coquettish appearance, Bill finally showed a heartfelt smile, since the one called Chu Qing advocated equality between men and women and provided women with opportunities for education and work, Jasmine, who used to be submissive to herself or even exaggerated to say that she was obedient, began to be able to talk to herself normally and even joke, it seems that that kid still has some ability.

"To put it simply, there is another force that is helping us free of charge, so that we can maintain the status quo and even continue to develop welfare in the face of a severe fiscal deficit, do you understand that?"

"Understood. Jasmine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked strangely: "But who would be so stupid to do these things for free...... her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally said in surprise: "Could it be President Chu Qing!"

"It's him, whether it's food or other commodities, more than ninety-five percent of the goods in the entire city of Phil are actually provided by him, and of course all this is at a very low price or even free of charge. For Chu Qing, the more Bill knows, the more greetings in his heart, how he is constantly making those strange weapons, how to produce those strange weapons, and where those well-trained soldiers come from, these questions are always hanging in his heart like a lock, but it is really uncomfortable that he can't get an answer.

"Well, I see, I'm going to inform the city guards guarding the gates. As she spoke, she re-wrapped the stack of papers, and just as she was about to take her leave, an incident occurred that made her stand still.

"By the way, Mr. Mayor, the plane that picked you up has already stopped at the airport, and it should be too late to go, Mr. President advises you to get out of here, he says that this will soon become a dangerous place...... That's what I should say...... "The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and in the end it completely turned into a rhetorical tone, which really made people worry that there was really no problem with the message she conveyed?

"Well, please turn to Mr. President, I'm still not leaving," he said, standing up with his cup and walking over to the water dispenser, "I didn't leave when his boy came to beat me, and now he wants to take me away, sorry, I don't have that strength." ”

He put the cup in his hand on the water dispenser, the bright sunlight shone on his face through the floor-to-ceiling window, yes, he was quite attractive in appearance, and he looked even more heroic, "As long as I am alive for a day, Lao Tzu's feet will not take a step out of the city at will." ”

Looking at Bill who was standing there, Jasmine also showed a bright smile, tilted her head gently as she did a few years ago, and said with a thousand charms: "I understand, Lord of the City." ”
