Chapter 378: Rumors and Fighting Spirit

Such a large number of applicants exceeded Shen Chao's earlier expectations, and he also thought that most citizens would wait and see first, and wait for this group of people to bring back more effective information before making a decision, which seemed to be the safe way.

But he still ignores the courage of people to take risks and the desire for a new life, and although the safe and orderly areas of Dubai are safe and orderly, citizens have been less and less inclined to stay here for some time.

Because here they have no way to engage in effective production activities, and thus they do not make much money. They can only buy all kinds of necessities in the supermarket to make ends meet, but they cannot significantly improve their quality of life.

If there is no comparison, everyone can now receive monthly benefits from the city government, a house to live in, and free water and electricity, even if they don't do anything.

The security in the security zone is good, although the entertainment means can't catch up with the level before the crisis, but as long as you take a few odd jobs issued by the city government, you can live a good life.

However, it is infuriating that under the deliberate arrangement of some senior leaders of the parliament, all kinds of contrasts and intentional and unintentional displays of wealth are everywhere. The greatest flaunting of wealth is done by the senior members of the parliamentary organization.

As the leadership, their privileges are obvious to all, and these bigwigs rely on shuttles to get around, flying around the city from time to time. (for efficiency)

Each of them has as many credits as if they were infinite. Occasionally, when I appear in the mall, I am throwing money at all kinds of things with extremely high prices, so that everyone else is embarrassed.

Moreover, all the members of the council with a security level of B or above have their own exclusive rooms in the luxurious Burj Al Arab, and they can go there when they are resting and enjoy various software and hardware services of the seven stars.

Since there are already some locals in the hotel, the citizens are informed through the grapevine that the level of service there has long since been restored.

According to one version, the Burj Al Arab has been transformed into a paradise by the council's top members, with living quarters filled with high-tech devices for all levels of enjoyment. (This is basically true)

The hotel's restaurants, bars and entertainment areas are filled with treasures of all dimensions. Rare ingredients, all kinds of beautiful and beautiful ladyboy men sleep together...... Well, this part is the brain-making plot that the people like to see.

In fact, the senior members of the council are busy right now. In this transitional stage of development, everyone has a lot of military and political work on their hands, how can they have time to enjoy life?

However, although the brain is overdone, when it comes to the senior members of the council, the citizens can only envy it. I can't be jealous. There is no resentment either.

After all, the senior members of the council are their saviors and parents. Without the help of these people, people around the world would still struggle to survive. Where will there be a safe life like this.

So in the eyes of the citizens, although the senior members of the council are enjoying themselves and corrupt, they are reasonable to enjoy them, and there is nothing to complain about.

But what happened to others could only make the citizens envious and jealous, and they struggled to catch up. For example, the hundreds of lucky people from the original plane who joined the expedition before.

Those guys are obviously from the same plane as them, and the conditions are similar, and they don't see any advantages that cannot be surpassed. But these guys have made a fool of themselves through the council's layers of assessments and become peripheral members of the space-time council!

This is no small matter in every sense of the word. You must know that the successful participation of this group of people in the expedition team played a decisive role in stabilizing the mood of the citizens.

When Shen Chao announced that they were time travelers more than a month ago, which audience member was not shocked to fly up and down in their hearts. And who doesn't worry about their purpose.

It wasn't until this group of people from the same plane as the citizens joined the expedition that the citizens were completely relieved. completely believed Shen Chao's words.

Although they had all heard that these "compatriots" who had been fortunate enough to join the expedition were now only junior members, and were basically doing chores for the senior members of the council.

But that's it, they can also follow through the plane, and the most important thing is that the living standards of these people have also risen several times!

Since they have just completed a crossing mission, many of the low-level members are on vacation. As soon as these guys who had just completed a mission returned, they immediately showed the citizens their benefits as members of the expedition.

First of all, even though they have only performed one mission and have not experienced any credit, they have 10 or even 20 times the credit in their hands than an ordinary citizen.

Secondly, as was customary during the previous expeditions, each of them received a large package for the first crossing, and each of them received a gold bar weighing nearly 10 kilograms.

Such gold bars are a lot of money whether they are deposited in the bank or converted into credits, and the purchasing power is very high in the current security zone, and the person who gets it can be regarded as getting rich overnight.

And that's not even counting the other perks, as junior members of the expedition, they all have new homes and now live on one of the most scenic and comfortable palm islands in the whole of Dubai.

Dubai's two palm tree islands, both man-made reefs, were the preserve of the world's richest before the crisis, with excellent infrastructure and a large number of luxury villas, and now the people who live in them immediately set themselves apart from ordinary citizens.

When the citizens watched these compatriots, who had a similar standard of living to them a month ago, return in high spirits and spend a lot of money to decorate their new homes, people could not calm down. As a result, there was a previous wave of registration for outgoing development.

According to various information released by the city government, as long as they are willing to sign up and follow the reconstruction team to the Lianghe River valley to restore agricultural production, they can get all kinds of help.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand agriculture, someone will guide you throughout the process. It doesn't matter if you don't have farm tools, agricultural machinery, or anything, the city government will provide them for free. As long as you are willing to work, the city government can help you become an industrialized farmer or mechanic, and help you get rich step by step......

"Wait for my brother to come back and enjoy life when he has money...... "That's what many people think when they sign up, in their opinion, as long as they work hard for a few months, they should be able to get rich quickly.

Even if the worst happens, the harvest is not ideal or there is no harvest at all, they will at best come back in disgrace, and with the basic social benefits of the Dubai Safe Zone as a guarantee, people do not need to fear temporary failure, so people are very enthusiastic about signing up.

Since the registration is so good, Shen Chao also does not refuse to come. He asked the city government to receive all the registration materials and started the skills training of the applicants as quickly as possible.

The basic training for these applicants is expected to take two weeks, after which all expatriate reconstruction teams are expected to depart. He doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.

So Shen Chao put his energy in other places for the time being. The first thing he dealt with was the issue of military deployment. Their previous military deployments were very small in both tactical and strategic terms, and were no longer suitable for their current total number of troops and corresponding strategic posture.

Until now, all the main combat units they have assembled have been in the barracks in the Dubai Security Zone. Only a handful of expatriates were sent out. Until then, such an arrangement is quite reasonable.

Because the number of troops they could mobilize was too small before, it was too inefficient to send out one or two regiments to clean up mutants and rescue people.

In that case, it would be better to stay in a few military bases on the outskirts of the city, hone their combat effectiveness, and train junior officers from them to help train them in the expansion of the army.

But now the overall restraint has been reversed, and with the previous accumulation of more and more soldiers, three more regiments of recruits have completed their training under the leadership of veterans and instructors in the past two weeks.

Their strength has been greatly strengthened, 30 full regimental combat teams have been gathered in three bases outside the Dubai Security Zone, and beds at one base outside the city are starting to run short.

With these more than 33,000 soldiers, their foreign deployment strategy is worth adjusting, and although the previous strategy of shrinking and accumulating strength is still worth maintaining on the whole, they can already send a part of their troops to participate in the looting of people and materials.

For this reason, Shen Chao arranged recruit training in Dubai. On the one hand, intensive military exercises and background checks are carried out to select junior officers, and the command personnel in the army are arranged step by step.

The arrangement of junior officers is simple, just pick the big ones from among the shorts, and pick out the small group of soldiers who have the best tactical awareness and the strongest combat and command skills.

The difficulty lies in the arrangement of senior officers, and the arrangement of colonels and generals requires his most careful consideration. Officers at this level will be senior members of their subordinate armies for a long time to come.

Picking the wrong senior officers will cause big problems, so for the sake of insurance, Shen Chao decided to make preparations for both when arranging these senior officers.

He is going to promote a group of members with the highest military qualifications and no background in the current army, and at the same time arrange for some members of the expedition team around him to enter the leadership of the affiliated army. Ensure that you control the army.

In order to do this, he first selected a group of potential members of the army from among the soldiers and junior officers of the army, based on the results of the training, and the exercise table xiàn.

Then, after some re-evaluation, background checks, and one-on-one conversations with these people, Shen Chao picked out some of these people who he thought were the most reliable and "upgraded". He personally arranged the ceremony to confer the rank of colonel on the best of the dozens of military officers. (To be continued.) )
