Garand asked us not to go, and I suddenly understood why so many of us were getting irritable on the way back. I always thought they were worried about poking a big basket, but I ignored their worries about the future. Because the United States has established its hegemonic position in the Americas for more than 100 years and has always stayed away from war for more than 100 years, the American people's demand for absolute security has become a habit. And this mentality accustomed to absolute safety makes them hysterical when they encounter changes in the outside world, and even when they are fine, they will inevitably fall into the chaos of victimization and paranoia, which is reflected in the movie is a bunch of movies about alien invasion of the United States or the end of the world. With this hysteria, they inevitably overreact when disaster actually strikes.

Another question is that the control of the "Mediterranean" is gone, will those who have been arranged by the "Mediterranean" to defect continue to stay and listen to my command? On the way back, they may not have time to think about these issues, and once they settle down, they should make a decision. Maybe someone wants to break away from this organization, maybe someone wants to hide from nuclear pollution, and they may choose to leave Lavona, which is likely to be chaotic. If they propose to leave now, I am afraid that if they don't mention it now, they will be half-hearted at some point in the future, so that I cannot correctly estimate the power that I can use in my hands. That's going to be a big problem!

Thinking of this, I ignored Garand's mention, and instead said to Garand, "I think we should let everyone rest first." Then at this point they should make a choice. The threat to fight together is gone, and perhaps some people are choosing to leave. โ€

Garland grabbed me by the collar and strangled me to the point where I almost died. He whispered to me, "Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to let you go and deliver supplies? Because I can't even imagine what big mess will happen in the future. To keep you busy is to leave everyone without time to think about leaving. If you do that, they'll run out. โ€

I asked Garland, "Everyone has a choice." Why not give them a chance? โ€

Garland said, "Damn it. Isn't the post-Christmas mess big enough? Who knows what will happen next? You've let everyone go, where are we going to find someone to protect the people on this territory? โ€

I'm curious about how Garland used to be the most open-minded one, but now he cares so much about himself? I asked him, "What's wrong with you?" This piece of land seems to be becoming important to you. โ€

"I called my wife and children to come here," Garland said. People are gone, who protects them? โ€

I looked him in the eye and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, since you know that there will be a big mess in the future, you must prepare to tide over it." Do you know what is most important when it comes to getting through this? It's unity. I don't want to have half-hearted people in our group at that time, that would increase the unpredictability of things. So if you want to go, let them go now. Those who remain are the ones we can give our backs to their comrades. Don't tell them about the supplies just yet. โ€

Garland pondered silently for a moment, loosened my collar and said, "Maybe you're right. โ€

The boar said to me, "James, I've got your back. Big Eyes will definitely support you, too. So there's nothing to worry about. As for the rest, let them go. โ€

Garland asked, "How about a meeting at six o'clock in the evening?" Ask everyone's opinion? โ€

I saw a convoy of refrigerated trucks drive into the base and said to Garand, "Okay. Let them think about it first. โ€

Billy has reported some tension in the barley fields. Some people went with the crowd to airports and docks with their possessions in an attempt to wait for a plane or a boat to take them to Hawaii or elsewhere. Others fled by car to the U.S.-Mexico border. At the same time, many Asians who had been treated as Japanese and were robbed and other atrocities fled to the barley fields. The barley fields were also shot at several times, but it was only the security cooperation that worked, with sandbags erected around the perimeter, armed sentry posts placed on the roofs of the perimeter houses, and patrols in the streets, so that no one was killed. It seemed that the barley field would be safe for a while, so I just asked Big Eye to take his men and a few carts of frozen meat to the barley field. These people are certainly reluctant to leave Lavona anyway. I didn't want to take a break, so I hurried to communicate with the people I thought might stay.

At six o'clock, in the courtyard in front of the gate of Base No. 1, all the people who had been sent by the "Mediterranean" gathered on time. I stood on the steps of the small building and said to them, "Hello everyone! Everyone knows that something big is happening. This event has affected each of us here before it affects the whole world. Now I think you should make a choice and choose whether or not to stay. We will take care of the families of those fallen comrades. โ€

Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, rapping shoe polish in a wheelchair, and when I saw that the people in the yard didn't speak, I immediately said: "Hey! Don't try to drive me away. I'm going to recuperate here. Nuclear contamination can't get here. โ€

Smoke patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are comrades-in-arms, no one will drive you away." โ€

I continued: "At first you had a reason to be here, but now you are as free as I am, and you all have the right to choose your own life. Lieutenant Colonel Garland and I judged that a dirty bomb attack would plunge the country into complete turmoil, and the future was uncertain. So we wish good luck to those who are willing to leave, but all those who remain must face any situation together, so I hope you will seriously consider it. Has anyone thought about it? โ€

"Brothers, as much as I enjoy being with you, I feel safer going back to my hometown in South America," Garcia said. โ€

Shoe polish said, "What can you do in South America?" Kill a gangster? โ€

"Spanish is my mother tongue," Garcia said. I still have a sum of money in my hand. It won't be that bad. โ€

Garcia's lead has two more Hispanics who choose to go to South America. None of the others spoke, and Garland was obviously relieved, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Is there anyone else?" Is there anyone else to leave? โ€

The Tatars said, "I'm sorry, but I want to go south." โ€

With him taking the lead, Gavin and several others also said they were leaving. In this way, less than half of the people sent by the "Mediterranean" at the beginning, except for the dead and gone, remained. But that's fine, the smoke, the longbowmen, the Bogard, and the people I've communicated with are all left, and the rest of the people will be a little more united.

Garland's face turned a little blue when he saw so many people at once, and I quickly patted him on the shoulder to signal him to be calm. Then I said to the person who was leaving, "Okay, the person who is leaving can leave at any time." You can ask the lieutenant colonel to assign a few good cars to each of your families, and bring the appropriate weapons for self-defense. The lieutenant colonel is handed over to you. โ€

Garland sighed, "Okay. โ€

Then that night, I talked to Ma Long and others one by one, and made it clear to them that the nuclear contamination could not reach here, and I hoped that they could stay with peace of mind.

These people have never seen the power of ideological and political work, and most of them cannot live a better life without leaving here, and seeing that I attach so much importance to them, they all express their willingness to stay.

Once I had these people done, I turned my focus to the barley fields.

ps: I came to a day meeting today, and the content of the drive out is a little rough, please forgive me.
