22. White Market – Consolidation

The assassinations that shook the world at the end of the 200th century of the Catastrophe subsided after a month.

The pace of time has entered the two hundred and first year after the catastrophe. The tail of winter is eaten by spring bugs. Spring returns to the earth, full of life.

In the pale red morning light, the grass is showing its heads; A rooster hiding in a nest, flapping its wings and crowing; Thick clothes, taken off from people.

Every city is filled with the joy of the New Year.

At the end of last year, the tense, bleak, and depressing atmosphere gradually moved away from the white market in the celebration of everyone.

All citizens, under the call of Mayor Bai Hong, returned to their respective posts and returned to normal.

Everyone has their own duties, each does his best, works together, and works hard to build a free city like the Great Wall.

Even today, on the first day of the new year, the court is holding a trial of Dongfang Ming. In the huge courtroom, there were only sporadic reporters and police personnel to observe, and there was no public to see the indignant people some time ago.

The judge read out Dongfang Ming's charges in righteous words. After an hour and forty minutes, the reading was finished, the judge struck the hammer, Dongfang Ming was taken away, and the people present left.

A trial that should have been sensational, there should have been the jubilation of the citizens, and there should have been an exciting scene.

Under a verdict, it ended quietly.

Dongfang Ming was taken out of the courtroom, put into an escort car, and taken safely to prison. Journalists have also lost their previous feverish passion, and they have simply reported on it.

It's just that one of the media, after reporting the news, added an additional article: This verdict is only a verdict on Dongfang Ming; Another Assassin was not apprehended and was at large. As for the other fugitive assassin, the White City police did not make any statement.

However, even though this news has been on the big screen on the street, it has not set off a civil discussion.

People just knew that Bai Lian, the adopted daughter of Mayor Bai Hong, had not been caught, and they didn't care about anything else.

Bai Hong was very happy with the situation after the verdict, and he was worried that the people would lose their minds and storm the courtroom on trial day. Now, the citizens have calmed down, regained their senses, and returned to their posts on duty. They also seem to have lost interest in their adopted daughters.

In this way, the time for the establishment of the city is still short, and many aspects must be improved, and it is best if there are no extraneous branches.

stabilized the mood of the population. White-red doesn't have to focus on how to appease them.

Bai Hong devoted himself to the defense of the city

The current coalition government has agreed to the establishment of the city, and has also instructed other cities to respect the autonomy of the White Market. However, after all, White Market is a free city. The Scissorgate affair thirty years ago is a bloody example. The White Market has no strong defenses, and when other forces besiege it, such as can it be resisted?

At the moment, Bai Hong has in mind the urgent need to improve the walls of the White Market. The resistance of the city wall must be further improved to withstand heavy *, *, electronic bullets and other blows.

After discussion, the city wall defense department used a variety of high-precision materials to build the city wall. electronic prevention and control department to strengthen the research and development of electric power and magnetic field force; The air prevention and control department has increased investment in fighter planes, long-range archery and other equipment.

The citizens of the White Market, for a better tomorrow. They work tirelessly and non-stop.

Bai Hong inspected each department and saw that everyone was full of energy and work, and he was very satisfied.

Spies infiltrating the city, they send news of the White Market defense back to their respective cities.

"Husband!" While the two were eating, Zhao Fen asked, "Will you be too aggressive when you give the order to strengthen the defense?" I fear that this may cause discontent among the coalition government and other cities, leading to war. ”

"We're going to get ahead of them, and we have to be ready before they come over." Bai Hong drank a glass of red wine, "If they drive the tank plane to the door, we will start again, and in this way, our hard work will be in vain." ”

"It's been quiet for thirty years. Let's hope there won't be any more bloodshed. Corpses are strewn all over the field, which tramples on human life. If the coalition government fully supports our policy of abolishing slavery, the world will be able to avoid war and go all out into extrasolar exploration to divert the overloaded population of the planet. ”

"In its current form, it's too hard to get out of the solar system. Many aeronautical scientists have been buried in space, and science and technology cannot develop at a high speed without breakthroughs in substantive theories in basic disciplines. Exploring beyond the solar system is easier said than done! In this case, many people who have rights, they will not allow our city to exist for a long time. They must have conceived to bring us down. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Fen let out a long sigh, "Hey! ”

The last rays of the sunset, in her sigh, fell into the western mountains in the distance.

"We've struggled so far, and our goals have taken shape." Bai Hong saw Zhao Fen's lonely expression for the first time, "We can't give up first, and we can't doubt our own ideals." Justice always comes, it's just a matter of time. Our generation can't achieve it, and there are future generations, future generations, and they will fight like us. ”

"Our adopted daughters have all returned to this city to assassinate you......" Zhao Fen glanced at the last of the sunset, "This has to make me disheartened." We were lonely boats, no one wanted to help us, they just watched our boat sink. Husband! I am tired. ”

"Fin! You are a public figure. Bai Hong put down her chopsticks and looked at her wife firmly, "These words are only allowed to be said between you and me." Otherwise, the population will know and they will lose motivation. If you look at our city, everyone is very motivated to build a better home. ”

"I miss my daughter. Although as soon as she appeared, she came to ask for our lives. But, having raised her for thirty years, I miss her. ”

"I've sent out personnel to track down her whereabouts. For two years, we have been searching for it and have not heard from us. Now, she's finally there, and there's no way we're going to make her disappear anymore. We will definitely bring her back to this family. ”

Bai Hong stood up and looked at the white market at night.

The city is brightly lit and every department is working day and night. On the distant city wall, workers operate large machines to build a solid wall layer by layer; Instruments for testing flew in the sky; Fighter planes sped across the night sky.

They silently thought of freedom in their hearts, remembered the assassination again and again, and remembered the cruelty of war.

They have turned all of this into strength, put it into action, and strengthen their homeland. Vows to make the White Market a city that will never fall.

Bai Hong and Zhao Fen looked at the energetic citizens in the night, and their hearts burst with pride.
