It happened that at three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, when several soldiers who intercepted nuclear warheads with shuttles returned from the surface and returned to the Earth Age, these soldiers were treated like heroes!

Many people crowded in front of the gate of the living quarters and spontaneously greeted the soldiers.

This kind of enthusiasm is nothing short of a farewell, even though the flowers in the ship are very expensive, they are still sold out of stock!

This time, the awarding ceremony of "first-class heroes" and "second-class heroes" was quite grand, which was not only a commendation for meritorious servicemen, but also an inspiring war mobilization, so a large number of ordinary people were allowed to participate.

Various official reporters and self-media reporters lined up on the sidelines, and the flashing lights flashed as if they were dying. Three soldiers were awarded the medal of the first prize, and the team of observation and calculation in the rear was awarded the medal of the second prize. Without these calculations, it would not have been possible to intercept a nuclear bomb with a shuttle alone, so these workers have just as much credit.

These soldiers solemnly received the medals and medals with serious expressions, and the solemn international anthem sounded at the venue.

Zhang Yuanzheng stood aside and watched and applauded with a smile, but only won a second prize. Although he also has a lot of credit, and it can even be said that he came up with a temporary plan, which is greater than the credit of these soldiers, he is already at this level, and there is no need to compete with the soldiers, and he will get a second prize.

"Salute!"

"Rite over!"

The playground erupted in cheers and applause.

Looking at so many enthusiastic people, the shuttle pilot Li Junkang was a little fluttering. Because of the first prize medal this time, the entire life trajectory will change dramatically, and it will stand out from the group all of a sudden.

It is not impossible to move to a managerial or even higher position in the future.

He saw that there were many girls in the audience, and the look of admiration in their eyes was about to float.

But glancing at Chief Guo, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, he immediately straightened his face again, the difficulties of the entire civilization have not yet passed, and all personal issues should be put aside...... Yes, it should be.

A beautiful female reporter has already handed the microphone to the front: "Hello, I'm Ji Jingjing, a reporter from Deep Space Daily......"

"Hello, Reporter Ji." Li Junkang saluted.

"First of all, the first question I want to ask is, did you feel fear, fear, when you were on a mission? After all, it is very, very difficult to intercept hypervelocity missiles with such civilian shuttles...... Even a layman like me would find it very difficult. There are no weapons loaded on it at all, and the plan to intercept it with a parachute was improvized? ”

In fact, all the conversations were threaded in advance, and Li Junkang remembered his task, and suddenly his Adam's apple stirred, and he tried to make his head more sober. If you lose face in such a place, you probably won't be able to raise your head for the rest of your life.

He said a little jerkyly, "Fear...... Absolutely! We have never been on a real battlefield at all, peace has lasted for far too long! ”

However, after setting off, I forgot about these fears in an instant...... Because horizontal is also death, vertical is also death, it is better to die horizontally, and then die after completing the task! ”

"As for the plan to intercept with a parachute, it was thought up by Minister Zhang of the Ministry of New Civilization Development, but fortunately it was implemented by us well...... Lived up to everyone's expectations. ”

There was a good-natured laugh in the venue, and it would be a violation of humanity to say that there was no fear at all, but it seemed more real, and it quickly narrowed the distance between the audience and the audience.

As for Mr. Zhang from the New Civilization Development Department, the top smart person, everyone knows, can be said to be the person with the highest prestige in the spaceship. Come up with a good solution, and the people will already be surprised.

"I heard that you are from the Xia Kingdom peacekeeping team on Earth, is that so?"

"Yes! But that's in the past tense! ”

"Have you ever carried out any missions on Earth?"

Li Junkang thought for a while, and spat out a large string of them: "When we were on Earth, we did perform some tasks, and the whole team once obtained 5 third-class merits and 1 second-class merit...... It's the contribution of the whole team, not the credit of the individual. ”

"When you were on this mission, the intercepted nuclear bomb suddenly exploded, how did you survive the death? It's a nuclear bomb...... Meaning the most violent destructive force in nature. ”

At this time, Major Guo, who was standing on the side, answered: "In space, the vacuum explosion of a nuclear bomb is different from what we imagined. ”

"Nuclear bombs, including hydrogen bombs and helium-3 bombs, are nothing more than a conventional weapon in interstellar warfare. Exploding in space does not produce a shock wave, and there is no mushroom cloud, so if it does not explode closely, the lethality is not too strong. ”

Immediately afterwards, a video was shown on the big screen in the square, about the common sense of interstellar warfare, as well as the current progress of various weapons research. Earth's civilization has had interstellar civil wars in the past, so the new civilization has experience in this area.

There are many conceptual things, such as the powerful helium hydrogen ion cannon, which are all products of the earth's civilization, and the current new civilization can't get it at all, anyway, let's put it on it first.

According to the current subconscious of the people, all the advanced legacies of the earth's civilization are the new civilization, and since the earth's civilization can be manufactured, the new civilization can also be produced...... As long as there is enough time.

Although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, these conceptual weapons have invisibly dispelled the panic of the people.

After the whole video was played, there was a round of applause in the venue, and many people were talking to each other, and their confidence in the victory of the war increased a little.

"So, all we humans lack is time!"

"Please don't worry, if we can fight for a long time, we will become stronger and stronger, and the balance of victory is on the side of mankind!"

"Chief Guo, is there anything else you want to say to you?" Approaching the point, the reporter asked the last question, and the most important one.

Now comes the main event......

Major Guo had a "simple" smile on his face: "Originally, after obtaining the first-class merit, several of us had a two-day holiday to relax ourselves. But now the war is not over, today we are going back to the barracks and receiving regular training! ”

"Then you're really hard." The beautiful female reporter cooperated.

Major Guo added: "When I passed by the supermarket just now, I found that many of the daily necessities in it had been robbed, which may be the reason for everyone's lack of security and confidence. ”

"Why is there a lack of security? Again, the main responsibility rests on us soldiers. Our military is not strong enough to give everyone a sense of security. ”

"Therefore, everyone discussed it and decided to give some food in the army to everyone for free...... It is our duty to protect the entire civilization, but we also hope that everyone will not overreact and leave us a stable rear ......"

Hearing this, many people at the scene began to stir violently, some were red-faced, ashamed of this, and quietly left, and some began to scold, they had endured this matter for too long and too long.

As for the food distributed, as long as you have a little IQ, you will definitely not dare to ask for it.

The keyboard warriors on the Internet took this opportunity to quickly spray, and many people have already seen that this matter is quite unpleasant and sneered. ::

"It's so good, it's really moving, our military brother would rather be hungry than let the people in the rear enjoy a beautiful petty bourgeois life!"

“…… I wonder if there is a girl hiding behind me when the war is raging ahead, willing to sing a song with me? I have a lot of goods at home, enough for two people to enjoy for a year! ”

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flower ...... in the backyard across the river"

A photo was posted on the Internet, which was a savage scene of everyone frantically snapping up goods, and in order to protect privacy, some mosaics were played.

The ridicule among intellectuals is also unusually sharp, mixed with the very rude words of these trolls.

For example, "After the defeat of the war, the man is used as food, and the woman can provide additional services to the aliens and still be able to live her own good life......

Especially a grumpy guy like Xu Jie, he is simply squirting extremely energetically, he can't do all kinds of high-end black, he will only spray wildly at the low-end!

As a result, because of the messy abusive statements, the account was banned again, and a bail was paid to unblock it.

But after he paid bail, he started squirting again. crackled a string of text on the computer: "This group of people has become a human jian and a lackey, and it is recommended that the government departments thoroughly investigate it!" ”

I just feel cool, very cool!

Of course, it is impossible to make an inventory, because the crowd of people participating in the rush to buy accounts for at least a quarter of the total population, if not more!

With such a large number of people, even if they are found out, it is useless, and it is impossible to judge them one by one and put them all in prison, right? Then the entire industrial system will be paralyzed, and according to the current law, it is difficult to really determine how much to buy is guilty.

I don't know what's going on, but the government departments, which usually act very quickly, have slowed down in this explosive public opinion frenzy, and have no intention of restraining this group of Internet mobs in the slightest. Now facing a war, everyone is busy, who has time to restrain these online mobs.

All kinds of crude remarks lasted for two days, and under the overwhelming pressure of public opinion, no one dared to go to the supermarket to rush to buy them. Even buying a pack of instant noodles is trembling, for fear that someone will take a photo and post it on the Internet, causing a war of words.

People have to spontaneously reduce their quality of life.

Of course, this spontaneous patriotic upsurge may not last long, but the resources saved are enough to maintain current prices and enough for the government to make plans for the next step.

Finally, a blockbuster economic policy was promulgated: the first tranche of special war bonds, worth a total of 5 billion yuan, was sold in large quantities to the private sector!

Due to the uncertainty of the war prospects, the coupon rate of such bonds is not high, about 4.5% per year, which is indeed pitifully low compared to the economic growth rate of more than 30% last year.

Moreover, there are many restrictions on bonds, you have to buy a three-year term as soon as you buy it, you need to apply for early cash, you will lose a part of the interest, and so on......

But there was still a huge buying frenzy among the people, and even the purchase page was temporarily paralyzed!

After some deliberations at an internal meeting, the new government converted the large amount of donations into special war bonds, which were returned to many donors.

From an economic point of view, since the rationing system of consumer goods was implemented during wartime, the common people had nowhere to spend even if they had money, and large-scale looting would only cause inflation.

Therefore, the purchase of war bonds has become a very good investment option, at least under the current planned economy, the use rate of money is not high, the inflation rate is easy to control, and the interest rate of 4.5% can still outperform inflation. Moreover, if humanity is really defeated, the interest will still be useless, even if it is as high as 250% interest, it will become a ball of waste paper.

The most important thing is that these bonds can recover a large amount of monetary funds in the hands of the people, and the people have less money in their hands, so that they can only live more poorly, and give way to the entire social productive forces in favor of the needed arms production.

It is unsustainable to live on a tight basis spontaneously, but the liquidity in the hands is replaced by bonds, and there is generally no money in the hands, so everyone can only live a little harder. Even if the price of the original goods does not change, the number of people who buy them will be greatly reduced.

Of course, war bonds are not based on the patriotic fervor of citizens, but rather on the expression of patriotic fervor among ordinary people.

Against the background of the current public opinion, the first tranche of 5 billion bonds was quickly sold out, and the purchase of bonds became a new fashion and even a symbol of high moral character.

That's 5 billion, and out of a population of 500,000, the average person bought almost 10,000 yuan. In the current situation of an average salary of 2,000, it is equivalent to half a year's salary, which is indeed a lot.

Even many people are still a little dissatisfied, leaving messages on the Internet "I didn't buy it, I was scolded by my wife", "I didn't grab it, I didn't have face", there are more than one or two such people.

As a result, the government released the second batch of 5 billion war bonds, which were sold out again in a day!

The third tranche, two billion bonds, took about three days to be sold.

At this time, the deposits in the hands of residents have basically been squeezed clean. Like Xu Jie, the original local tyrant, with a total of 150,000 deposits, frantically bought 140,000 bonds, leaving only 10,000 yuan as working capital, life is tight, and there is no longer too much spare money to buy light luxury products, and even eating instant noodles has to be considered again.

In the face of this economic depression scene, the speculator Wang Junpeng's heart was cold, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make some money at first, and he didn't know that it would cause such a big wave!

If he had known beforehand, he wouldn't have done such a thing. And with so many goods hoarded at present, it is impossible to sell them at all......

Because all the spare money in everyone's hands has been replaced by bonds, all kinds of consumption are not an ordinary downturn, and the imaginary price rise tide has not come......

So, what now?

The people they knew were all speculative businessmen, and they all began to silence each other, as if they didn't know each other. This feeling of dark clouds and impending catastrophe, even if the government does not take more action, this crazy public opinion environment is enough to make people feel collapsed.

"Xiao Wang, the goods I hoarded will be sold to you cheaper, do you want to?"

Suddenly, the phone rang and a text message came.

Wang's face was cloudy, and this tremendous pressure began to panic some speculators...... The more supplies you have, the more panic you will be. Some people have begun to lose the pressure and want to sell.

"How much?"

"Seventy-fifty off, or not?"

After thinking about it, Wang Junpeng replied: "I don't have spare money in my hand, so I can't eat your goods." ”

"7% off, lowest price! It's cheaper than what the government provides, and if it's cheaper, it can still be sold......"

"Forget it, Brother Zhao, I really can't eat it. I'm going bankrupt. ”

What are you kidding, those who dare to take over now are either crazy or stupid! A 7% discount is indeed very cheap, but in this public opinion environment and economic environment, it is impossible to sell anything!

Even if it's a 5% discount, it can't be sold!

If he dares to sell, he may be beaten to death, it is absolutely a fact!

Wang Junpeng held his head in his hands, and the whole person was buried in the quilt, in pain.

Only then did he discover that the new civilization was very different from the civilization of the earth, and the prestige of the government had become binding and significantly stronger. Moreover, the people's sense of ownership is gradually awakening.

It's not just the loss of money that's painful, it's something else......

In order to make money, he has broken up with his best friend, and he is still in a state of breaking off relations. Even if the people around him didn't say it openly, they secretly despised him in their hearts and pointed at him. Fastest update on PC::/

The social media were all talking about it, and he walked on the main road as if someone was accusing him behind his back, so that he hadn't slept properly for several days.

What if you lose your family affection, friendship, and make money?

"!"

Wang Junpeng jumped up from the bed, paced back and forth in the room, shook his teeth, and made up his mind.

Although this determination made him feel very distressed, it ...... It's still possible to salvage something.

Donate!

Take these things ...... Donate them all!
