For Elena, who suddenly got two provinces, the biggest problem now is that there are not enough capable and trustworthy people to manage these cities. Moreover, because of the heavy losses in the early defense of Elena, Elena did not have enough troops to maintain law and order in these cities. Under these circumstances, Gastens and the members of the Communist Party Council discussed an emergency solution, relying on the aftermath of the thundercloud storm released by Gastens, and only sent a working group of about 100 people to take over the city, and the maintenance and management of the city's law and order mainly relied on the people who were left behind. In the eyes of the Communist Party Council, their political ideas and ideas of Elena had already spread in Ankenrein, and the big aristocrats and big capitalists who thought they would be eliminated had already found their own way and left these cities. Most of what was left behind was not the object of the revolution that had to be eliminated, and the degree of acceptance of the revolution was naturally higher than before the war. As long as the enthusiasm of the local masses is properly mobilized and the stability of the city and society is maintained, the working groups dispatched by them will thoroughly purge the counter-revolutionaries and promote the revolution in an all-round way after Elena has completed the initial reform of the army system and sent the corresponding troops to complete the construction of the defense systems in the two provinces. Based on this concept, and also to test the feasibility of this approach, Elena sent three working groups in the first phase to take over the three cities near Elena. The team led by Gallence Warren brings together Elena's military, industrial, agricultural, and economic talents, and if it goes well, it will become the core of many subsequent teams, spreading this takeover model to the two provinces.

Instead of touching Vanessa's core power, and Vanessa did not prevent Elena's men from taking over the management of the city, he also sent almost all of the police to help Gallence take over the city's government offices. In just one day, the team brought by Gallance was able to get the once-paralyzed city hall back up and running.

Of course, when it comes to re-operation, there isn't much to do. The most important part of the city is the security of Vanessa, and there are not too many problems. The municipal treasury was largely emptied, as Gallance had expected, and the accounts and records of the property were in disarray, and Gallance had a team of six men responsible for cleaning up the materials. And more people are focused on the sorting out of citizens' property records. The most direct way to distinguish between those who are capitalists, big landowners, bureaucrats, or aristocrats, and those who are poor people and proletariats, is to keep records of the government's property. These property records include land, real estate, and also bank deposits. It's just that the bank, like the municipal treasury, has been almost moved, and what remains for them is only a somewhat bleak city.

"Mayor Garens", who came with Gallance and thirty-six soldiers, was Brett Warren, the company commander of the first company of the third regiment of the production brigade. After following Ivan on Mount Luo, he was lucky enough to see Gastens in a thundercloud storm and survived the battle. After the battle, veterans like him, who survived the battle, from the production brigade and the guerrilla brigade, became a cherished resource, and in order to train him, Ivan sent him to Garence and gave him the position of company commander. Brett Warren was a little apprehensive, but he took the task and followed Garence to the city of Moon.

"What's wrong?"

Garence looked up and stopped the pen in his hand. He was writing a notice for all the citizens of Moon. Although the law and order in Moon City are now under control, the citizens do not know what their new government is going to do. If he did not disseminate the basic ruling ideas as soon as possible, he was worried that something would go wrong.

"Let that Vanessa take care of the law? What if he doesn't listen to us, or does something behind his back, isn't it passive? ”

Brett's worries were normal, as a revolutionary, he naturally had a distrust of these old forces, and he preferred to keep it in his own hands rather than leave such a thing as law and order to an untrustworthy person.

"The Chairman has said this," Garence put down his pen, knowing that Brett's worries were not unique, "and when we were in Elena, we were surrounded by revolutionaries, and many things were well done. But no matter how many people there are in Elena, how many can there be? When we go out of Elena and get in touch with more cities and people, you will find that most of them have a very limited understanding of the revolution. We also want to be able to control all links in the hands of people who can be trusted, but in fact this is impossible, and in order to promote the revolution to victory, on the one hand, we must make as many people as possible accept the revolution, and on the other hand, we must also learn to get along with people who are not comrades for the time being, mobilize their enthusiasm, dispel their doubts, and let them become a force to the revolution rather than a hindrance. This process is a very difficult process, but it is a process that we have to go through. A man like Vanessa knew at a glance that he would not accept the revolution in a short period of time, but since he was able to stay and help us manage the security of the city, it showed that he was a person who could help the revolution. Such people are not necessarily believers in the revolution, nor are they necessarily our comrades, but we also need such people if we want the revolution to victory. You know what? After all, for every one more supporter, there is one less opponent, and when there are few opponents, we naturally win the revolution, you know? ”

What Gallence told Brett was what Gastens had told him. Although it cannot be retold in the original language, the general meaning is unchanged. Brett didn't understand much, but he could understand it. He pondered for a moment, then made his own summary of Garence's tirade.

"So we use him first, and when our strength is full, we will replace him?"

"Replace him, or admit him into the revolutionary ranks", Gallence smiled slightly, although the problems and sufferings faced by taking over the city of Moon were myriad, but he was pleased to see Brett and the comrades around him so motivated and studious, as an old comrade of the revolution.

"Oh, I see, what am I going to do all this time? We only have thirty-six soldiers, so there's only so much we can do. ”

"No, you can do a lot", Garence looked at the Thundering Steam Rifle in Brett's hand, "we are going to announce our property strategy to the city tomorrow, and it is about whether we can be accepted by the city, and you and your guards will work with the police in Vanessa to maintain order, and you can even use force if necessary." And that plan needs your security as well. ”

"I see," Brett nodded, "whether it's a plan or policing, I'll do it!" ”

"Yes, thank you!"

Garence nodded, and continued to write his own announcement. As he told Brett, the management strategy and title strategy of the city determined the success of their takeover of the city. The core of the city lies in people, and if the citizens of the city have resistance to their policies, or even strong resistance, then they can only slowly do ideological work in addition to conquering them by force. And now that every second counts, Gallence doesn't think Elena has time to do this water mill.

So, the first shot, be sure to hit it well.

——————————————

On the third day of their arrival in Moon, Gallence Warren, Brett Warren, and the vast majority of their task force held an information session in the Civic Square in Moon. The citizens who heard the news stood a little cowering around the propaganda meeting, and there was a clear distance from Gallance and others standing in the center of the square. There was a mixture of anticipation and doubt in their eyes. As the closest city to Elena, they have heard a lot about Elena and have an idea of the state of those who live in Elena. It's just that Elena Town is still different from Moon City after all, how will these people from Elena manage Moon City, will they be like the propaganda of those nobles before, communism?

"Dear people, my name is Garence Warren, and I am the leader of the team that took over the city of Elena, and I am the leader of the service for you for some time to come. If you have any problems in the next time, you can come to the city government at any time, and as long as it is a reasonable appeal and problem, we will solve it as soon as possible and as satisfactorily as possible. I am here today to introduce to you our urban policy, so that some people will say that we are communists, and some people will say that we are bandits and bullies. Today, and in the days to come, I will prove to you with facts that we revolutionaries who love Elena are definitely not unreasonable bandits and bullies, nor are we vampires and exploiters like those noble lords, we are poor people from the bottom, just like you, and our government, like you, is the government of the people, the government of the people, and the government of everyone. I hope you can give us a chance to prove ourselves! ”

Gallance was already as loud as he could, and he was using a tin amplification, but even then, by the time his words reached the edge of the square, they had become indistinct. Because they couldn't hear clearly, the crowd around them gradually gathered together and began to listen carefully to Garence's story. After all, unlike the big capitalists and aristocrats who had fled, the fate of those who remained in the city, including petty nobles and petty bureaucrats, as well as common people, workers, burghers and craftsmen, depended largely on the policies of Elena's government.

"We have also received strong support from Director Vanessa, who will unconditionally support our work in the following process. At the same time, we have brought our own troops to deal with the worst possible situation. However, please believe that we Elena are a revolutionary army, a people's army, and our guns will never be aimed at our people, but only at the enemies of the people! ”

The crowd in the square was silent, they heard Garence's words, and thought of the suspected archmagister standing behind Elena. They were in awe of that power, and they knew in their hearts that even if these people did whatever they wanted and were lawless in the city, they probably couldn't resist it. However, everyone has a yearning for a better life, and if Elena can really be the government of the people, as they say, it will certainly be a better thing for those of them who remain in the city.

"Next, I will introduce you to our basic policy", Gallance knows that time is limited, and he is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, "the first is about our enemies. Our enemy is the enemy of the people, the enemy of every one of you present. We were new to the city, and we didn't know who was doing whatever they wanted in the city, harming the people. Dear people, if you have any grievances, any injustices, and any need for us to uphold justice, stand up at any time, and our police and soldiers will seek justice for you at any time! ”

The people who heard the words in the audience stirred slightly. Where there are people, there is strife, and although the city of Moon is not large, it is no less filthy and muddy under the city than other cities. And these people who live on the dark side are not afraid of Elena, and they do not run away when the news of Elena's intention to take over the city of Moon came. In their opinion, it doesn't matter who is the master of the city, no matter who they are, they can't be touched anyway. Even if you want to touch them, you can't find them. And, if they provoke them, they can make the city so chaotic that they can even disgust those in power. For these people, there is no bottom-line problem with their means, only a question of price. As long as they are unhappy, they will let these people in power who do not know the height of the sky know who is the master of the city.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly. The people around him consciously gave up his place. It was a skinny young man, dressed in cheap and somewhat torn clothes, and at first glance he looked like a low-level person.

"What I said must be true! Vanessa and Brett behind me will prove it with their weapons. ”

"Well, if you are really the government of the people, if you really are the masters for us, as you say, then you will arrest Johnny Eight Fingers first, and we will believe you!"

"Johnny Eight-Fingered!"

There was a low exclamation from the crowd, and many people even covered their mouths in horror and looked around. Johnny Eightfinger is a nightmare existence in Moon City, he controls more than seventy percent of the underground industry in Moon City, and his armed juniors are more than 300 people, and even dozens of guns. Many people in this city have been oppressed by him or his forces. Collecting protection money, forcibly buying and selling, lending usury, forcing poor people to die, and even forcing Liang to do slave trading for prostitutes, all illegal things, Johnny has done all the illegal things, and most of the illegal things, Johnny has done the best. To say that Johnny Eight-Finger is the underground emperor of the city, no one will disagree.

"Eight-fingered Johnny, I remember!"

Garence nodded, exchanging glances with the young man.

"What is your name, this brave young man? I will definitely use my actions to prove our policy! ”

"My name is Devara Rom, and if you can take down Johnny Eightfinger, I'll believe you!"

The young man was undaunted, and the eyes of those around him were full of sympathy. The Great Magister is terrifying, but the Great Magus is too far away after all, and the eight-fingered Johnny is an existence that can drive people to death in minutes. In their eyes, even Elena is impossible to get Johnny Eight-Fingered. And this young man named Divara is estimated to be short in life.
