Through the transparent glass of the Oultichi government building, you can see the sky outside that has become raging, and a huge storm is slowly moving, gradually moving from the sea to the mainland. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although, at present, it is only a torrential rain, which has inundated some of the aging drainage facilities......

Although it seems that the city is relatively calm now, the Odo officials in this building are very clear that this time, Odo really can't hold on. Such a huge storm was a catastrophe that had not been recorded in their 30,000-year history. Originally, the catastrophe brought by the universe was something that human beings could not resist, although this time it was a man-made disaster.

"Lord Liu Xixue, when will the Federation's immigrant fleet arrive, and before that, can you let us take refuge in the universe?"

"yes, the starships of the Federation Navy should be able to ......"

……

Liu Xixue, who was sitting in the first place, just kept a calm face and looked at this group of Otto officials quietly. In fact, according to the federal disaster countermeasures ordinance, civil servants, or government officials, are only transferred in a sequence that is superior to federal forces. That is, they will not enter the transfer sequence until all civilians have been transferred.

Liu Xixue's silence made the group of pot-bellied local officials gradually quiet down. Obviously, this young diplomat, in all sorts of ways, is different from them.

"Your Excellency Liu Xixue, I would like to know the purpose of your summoning us here. As things stand, we don't have much time to waste. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with the same beer belly, a slightly bald head, a red face on his face, and a handkerchief that wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time.

"You are the administrator of the O'Lane region, Dorne. Mr. Lebart. Liu Xixue said the other party's name for sure, which is basic common sense for diplomats. Oraine is the name of an administrative division of Otto Star. The administrative officer is the title of the highest position in a large region in the administrative division of Odo. Therefore, this Mr. Lebart, for the vast majority of Odo's 1.6 billion people, is a big man at the apex of power, out of reach.

"Yes, since fifteen years ago, as the District Administrator of Orion. Although Orion is not in the coastal area, but, for many reasons, the Orion district needs me very much now......" What Lebart did not say was that at this moment, the officials of various districts gathered in this place, and they were just in a daze, which was undoubtedly a waste of precious time, which made him a little dissatisfied. "I wish I could have gotten out first."

"No problem, you can leave first." Liu Xixue's stiff face finally showed a smile, this local official, who was not excellent in terms of word of mouth or in fact, his performance at this moment was somewhat unexpected by him. "What I have to tell you, though, is that the Federal Navy recently issued a total evacuation warning to the Orion area, are you sure you want to return to Oron?"

"Yes, I'm going back to Orion." This somewhat bald middle-aged man's words at this time were full of sincerity. This gave the bureaucrats present a sense of wonder in their hearts. In particular, those who have been in the past know more about Lebat than he does. "There, there are my people. They need me...... Uh, I mean, maybe I can help the Federal Navy and speed up the evacuation of local personnel. ”

Speaking of which, it is also self-inflicted, because the previous blockade of the Federal Navy has made the civilians of Odo quite uneasy, and the progress of the transfer of civilians to safe areas is slow. There are also a large number of government officials leaving their posts and so on, making the Federation somewhat helpless against the impending disaster of Odo.

"I see, I'll assign a squad of federal personnel to escort you wherever you want." Liu Xixue, who has been entrusted with important tasks, said in his terms of reference. "I hope you can assist the rescuers and convince the local civilians to move to safety as soon as possible."

"Well, of course, that's what I wanted to do before." After getting Liu Xixue's consent, Lebat bent down and bowed as if relieved.

"However, I must remind you that if you leave this room and are engaged in disaster relief work, you will enter the federal government officer ranking, and you will not be given any priority evacuation until civilians in your area of responsibility have been evacuated." When he said this, Liu Xixue seemed particularly unkind, after all, not everyone likes such terms. "Of course, in return for your loyalty, you, as a government official, will later be granted federal citizenship."

"That's going to be done later." Lebart left the huge office without looking back. Left behind a large number of local officials, or Odo's politicians, who looked at each other.

"Mr. Liu, I hope you can explain, can't we directly obtain citizenship when we join the federation?"

In the cosmic age, even a fool knows how huge the gap between citizens and citizens is, and for most people, obtaining imperial citizenship is equivalent to guaranteeing a prosperous life for two hundred to three hundred years in their lives.

"Yes, according to the previous agreement, Odo was incorporated into the Confederation and became a federal national, enjoying the protection of the federal constitution, for which they had no obligations other than to abide by federal law. And according to the previous agreement, residents of Otto are not required to pay 13 taxes or fees to the federal central government, including personal income tax. With a weird smile, Liu Xixue explained to the bureaucrats in the room.

"Ahem, that's it, according to federal law, after becoming a citizen, the first thing you face is eight years of compulsory military training, and, in special times, unconditional obedience to special requisitions from the government or the army. That's why I'm here. As the representative of the federal central government in Odo, I will be the last to leave the area, and this is what federal citizens or federal government employees must do. I don't know what you want to do. ”

"However, the federal commitment to the safety of our lives and property ......"

"No problem, the Federal Navy will give priority to the safety of people's lives and property."

"We're asking to evacuate first, it's already dangerous."

"Of course, but before you can do that, you need to fill out a form. As long as you are willing to give up administrative power, the Federal Navy will take you away as quickly as possible. ”

"You're saying that being a government official doesn't give you priority, what are you kidding, so what's the point of being a federal citizen?" This is probably a question that many people can't understand.

"If you run into any trouble outside of the Federation, the Federation Navy will unconditionally assist you and get everything you deserve."

"Yes, it's true, federal citizens have a lot to give, so I'm here to wait, at least until I die. …… And I exist to prove that your lives are protected by the Federation. As for the evacuation sequence, according to the Federal Disaster Relief Regulations, the highest priority in the evacuation sequence is civilians, children under the age of 16 and their guardians, and the elderly with reduced mobility. Those who are government officials are the second-to-last, and the last are members of military or paramilitary organizations involved in the relief effort. ”

Liu Xixue just read out the regulations coldly, without the slightest emotion in his voice. However, the young diplomat's heart was full of contempt, such people could not adapt to the life of the Yanhuang society at all, and it was better to remove them from the sequence of government officials in the first place than to make them miserable later.

Choosing between life and responsibility, although it is a simple multiple-choice question, there is no surprise and the answer is obtained. Of the more than a dozen top officials in the district, only two, like Lebart, chose to stick to their posts, and only nine of the more than 100 high-level officials in the Odo government were willing to stay in the building until the end.

Liu Xixue did not express too much surprise about other people's choices, in fact, even if they are in the Federation, there are only a few people who will not choose like this. In the face of disasters, human instinct and nature determine things that are difficult to change.

However, the reason why most Yanhuang people choose to obey the law is that as citizens, they enjoy federal subsidies and work all kinds of light jobs. For example, the favorite spare time of the Yanhuang people, buying a large piece of land and becoming a farmer, the demand for land seems to have been engraved into the depths of the soul of the Yanhuang people.

Natural disasters are very rare for the highly technologically advanced federation, at least, this so-called rescue ordinance has not been in place for at least a few decades. This time, it was proposed by Liu Xixue, but it was just to screen Odo's officials, and it was also a test of whether those officials were qualified for the federal system, and obviously, most of them were not qualified.

…………

"Admiral, this is the result of this test." In the communication screen, instead of flashing snowflakes with bad signals, Liu Xixue's originally healthy face was already a little sallow. It doesn't look like he's in a good shape, it's just that Lulu can't focus on him anymore.

"Ahh......h Anyway, for these guys, the wealth they have accumulated is enough for them to live in the Federation for a long time. Lu Lu chuckled, his eyes wordless sarcastic. In the Confederation, working for the central government is a very boring job, and despite the extremely high salary, the priority of other social benefits is limited. In the federal system, the Yanhuang people, who occupy the vast majority of positions, have assumed various obligations and responsibilities since birth.

In addition to duties and responsibilities, the Federation provides generous social benefits for every Yan Huang person, and in short, the poorest Yan Huang people will also have millions of ISK assets. For eight years of service alone, the Federation pays at least 1.6 million ISK in service allowances according to military ranks.

This money is enough to buy an asteroid belt, or thousands of acres of land on a planet with a suitable climate. Or, even if you don't do anything, a little saving is enough for a person to live for 200 years. Of course, this is the bare minimum of life.

Although in the universe, 1.6 million can only buy the smallest cosmic merchant ship, but on the planetary ground, the same number can sustain life for two hundred years. With this gap between the living standards of the universe and the ground, it is no wonder that there are bricks in all countries who say that the areas where the ground lives are slums.

The problem, however, is that the Federation needs to disperse the "ghetto" of Odo, place them on different planets, and give them the necessary supplies to continue their lives. Housing, food, jobs, and even culture all require the full support of the local galactic government.

Of course, population growth is of great significance to any country in the universe. However, it is undeniable that the Federation was not prepared to receive large-scale immigrants before, and in a hurry, there will inevitably be many problems. For example, the screening of the quality of immigrants. The task that was supposed to be the responsibility of the intelligence department was basically handed over to the servicemen of the special service fleet at this time.

Of course, Lu Lu's job is just to sit in the governor's seat and seal it with his personal seal. In fact, this kind of mechanical activity gave Lu Lu more time to think, so he was more painful and sad than the busy soldiers of the fleet.
