Chapter 221 - Sale of War Bonds

As soon as he heard about drinking, Luo Kequan suddenly remembered the last time Xu Yuan pit him.

He wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of alcohol.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

"Come, Brother Luo, let's continue to drink, this is Moutai, my best wine here."

After filling up Roque again, Xu Yuan once again began to persuade him to drink.

There were already seven or eight empty bottles thrown around on the table, and these were all high-level liquor.

And at this moment, Roque's face was already flushed, and he didn't know what to do.

"Well... Drink... Don't get drunk! ”

Waving his hands, Roque raised his glass and smothered it in.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, and he didn't pour wine for Luo Kequan anymore, but sighed very abruptly.

"Old... Junior? What's going on? If you have any difficulties, tell your brother! ”

Luo Kequan shook the cup with his left hand, and put his right hand on Xu Yuan's shoulder, with a look of difficulty Brother Helping You Out.

"Really? Brother Luo, can you get me out? Pretending to look expectant, Xu Yuan stared straight at Luo Kequan.

"That's it!"

"Ahem, that's the case, my brother has been short of money recently, so I want to send some bonds or something, but I can't get the news out, brother, you also know that our GS doesn't have the authority to send messages to everyone......"

GS is divided into an official version and a personal version, which are linked to your own identity code.

Therefore, if you want to deliver a message to the people in District 9, you must use the official version of GS to make a "@ζ‰€ζœ‰δΊΊ"

"Hey! What's so difficult about this," Roque patted his chest, "Brother has permission here three times a year, what you say you want to send, I'll arrange it for you!" ”

As he spoke, Roque leaked the GS on his wrist and clicked on the @everyone function with special permissions.

"Haha, Brother Luo, thank you, come and let's drink, just send something to my assistant to write."

After pouring Luo Kequan another glass of wine, Xu Yuan glanced at Shen Xi.

It didn't take long for a "Dididi" sound to sound from the GS of everyone at the table, and looking down at the news, Xu Yuan grinned.

Three days later, the entrance to the security zone was crowded.

Traders, mercenaries, hunters, and even scavengers, all gathered at the door.

Emotions were running high, faces were filled with excitement, and people lined up in long lines, guided by uniformed security forces, waiting eagerly for the opening of the bank at eight o'clock.

If you want to ask why people are so enthusiastic, you have to start with yesterday's wonderful speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, over the past 21 years, we have proved our prosperity with our hands." Standing on the podium in front of the parliament building, Xu Yuan raised his voice to all the people in the audience with an impassioned voice.

"Whether it's being abandoned by the old country in the first place, or facing zombies alone, or the wave of radiant people who slaughtered like crazy last year, it's all sad!"

"But we won!" Xu Yuan clenched his fists, raised his voice, and said in a provocative tone, "We used high walls and guns to block zombies and radiant people, and we used the tracks of tanks to clear the massacre that affected the ninth district!" ”

"And then we had the light."

Xu Yuan suddenly slowed down his tone and cast a solemn and proud gaze on the crowd.

The audience held their breath.

"But just as we were celebrating prosperity, a sad thing happened."

"I'm sure most of you have already heard that the compatriots at the junction of the 9th and 8th districts, the warriors who resisted the invasion of the Radiants, have unfortunately fallen."

"And now, the Radiant people are shouting at us with guns and cannons, they want to slaughter us, they want to eat our flesh and drink our blood! Now, tell me, can you endure this insult! Can you bear it! ”

There was no response from the audience, but Xu Yuan could read from the faces of the people in the front row that they couldn't!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan opened his mouth again.

"It's so small, it's not even a grain of the whole wasteland, but we have an obligation to care for it to germinate, to care for it to illuminate a wider place, yes, it's the light we've seen, the light called order!"

"And the first step in accomplishing this great cause is to lubricate the tracks of our tanks with those radiating human entrails! And then, liberate our compatriots! We want everyone to see that our 9th arrondissement is not bad! Our 9th District will rebel too! ”

Xu Yuan's voice went from low to high, completely igniting the emotions of all the onlookers.

"Long live District 9!" People chanted in response to his roar.

"Kill those Radiant people!"

"Slaughter us completely!"

"Give us back a good day!"

β€œ......”

Raising his hand to signal people to be quiet, Xu Yuan said slowly: "Now, I officially announce that Security Zone 9996 will declare war on the Radiant People at the junction of District 8!" ”

The audience erupted in deafening cheers.

In this boiling public opinion, Xu Yuan stepped down, and Zhao Wenlong came to power and read out the resolution on the issuance of war bonds and conscription bills while the iron was hot.

This performance went much smoother than expected.

Outside the window, it was dark and oppressive, and the line lined up from the door of the bank to the gate.

Xu Yuan and Luo Kequan sat at the tea table by the window, and in front of their table was a color-printed newspaper, and on the cover was the impassioned speech.

Newspapers only emerged some time ago, people are gossip animals, in the era of no Internet, newspapers just meet people's needs in this regard.

In addition to the occasional announcement of the various safe zones, these newspapers usually publish interesting stories of survivors, experiences of radiobeast hunting, and job postings or advertisements.

"I won't drink with you anymore," Luo Kequan drank his coffee and glanced at Xu Yuan helplessly.

When he woke up the next day, he realized that something was not quite right, and there were more and more people in 9996, and people were discussing topics that he didn't know anything about.

Immediately afterward, it wasn't until his colleague sent him the news that Roque retrieved the records and vaguely remembered what happened last night.

Smiling indifferently, Xu Yuan said directly: "The debt company is about to open its doors, and it seems that people are full of enthusiasm for the war in four months." ”

"No one will be interested in war, but they won't be at odds with the shiny Yuan Jing," the hair was also issued, and Luo Kequan could only accept it, but he put forward the condition that Xu Yuan would take care of his own food.

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of using Radiant Steel to issue war bonds?" Roque looked out the window at the people frantically flocking to the point of purchase, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's not what I thought of, after all, there are more capable people under my hands, so I will think more." Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"How much steel do the Radiant men have?" Roque asked tentatively.

"According to the intelligence fed back by the reconnaissance force, it is estimated that the steel reserves are more than 200,000 tons." Xu Yuan didn't hide it, of course, the key is that there is nothing to hide, no one can eat them except himself!

"Damn! Are they guarding an iron mine? Luo Kequan couldn't help but scold, this is all finished steel, not iron ore that needs to be refined.

"It's not an iron mine, according to reliable sources, it's an underground resource bank, a country's strategic reserve materials before the war, but I don't know how those materials got into the hands of those radiation people, it doesn't matter, wait until this autumn and those steel will be ours."

Outside the window, the queue had begun to move slowly, the teller opened the door, and people were holding their identity credentials, all eager to sharpen their heads and squeeze towards the bond salesman.

Looking at this scene, Luo Kequan glanced at Xu Yuan again.

Now, he is also wondering, is this guy in front of him really Xu Hongguang's illegitimate son?

As the person in charge of Security Zone 2, it seems not surprising that Xu Hongguang can give birth to such a smart illegitimate child, right?

Three days later.

In the conference room, Zhao Wenlong reported to Xu Yuan on the first day of the issuance of war bonds.

"Including the pre-sale part, a total of 2 million yuan crystals of war bonds were sold out on the same day, and in addition, the recruitment work was also carried out at 30%, and it is expected to be completed within a week."

"It's like picking up money." Xu Yuan couldn't help but admire.

"The credibility of the security zone officials came in handy, and people rushed to buy it."

"No, no, no, Roquequan's role is only about the people believing that we will pay, and the people are not motivated to buy war bonds because of credibility, but because they support the war." Leaning back in the boss's chair, Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"Is that what you need to report to me?" Xu Yuan asked.

"No, there's good news." Zhao Wenlong said.

"Oh?"

"Remember the 9001 security zone you asked me to contact years ago?"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan guessed and asked, "The one that can build a helicopter?" ”

"Yes," Zhao Wenlong nodded and said, "They said that the blueprints are safe." ”

"Then arrange for their technicians to deliver the relevant documents of the production process to our factory, and after confirming the authenticity, they will directly transfer the money to them!" Xu Yuan said immediately, his face showing joy that could not be concealed.

The appearance of the design drawings means that he will gain the ability to produce helicopters, which is an unprecedented change in Xu Yuan's view!

"Okay, they also asked me if you have any new research projects to complete."

"Of course, you ask him if he's interested in a collaborative research project, and if so, we can talk about developing a fighter."

Zhao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and confirmed that he had to repeat it.

"Fighters?"

"That's right, fixed-wing flying." Xu Yuan said.

"With all due respect, fixed-wing aircraft are much more difficult to develop than helicopters, and because of radiation, fighters are not necessarily much stronger than helicopters." Zhao Wenlong cautiously persuaded.

However, Zhao Wenlong didn't know that this fighter Xu Yuan was going to be brought to the present world for use.

"Look ahead, the enemy in front of us is not just that radiation man, who knows if there will be anyone to spy on our harvest next, since sooner or later we will have to face those, I hope that I will not be unprepared by then,"

nodded, Zhao Wenlong left, whatever the boss ordered, just do it yourself, opposition is not a good choice.
