MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 671 Evacuation of the whole territory of Shanghai (Part 2)
The evacuation of Shanghai this time is different from last year's blockade of the entire city of Yuanjiang. Forcing more than 3 million people not to go out is not comparable to forcing more than 20 million people to evacuate immediately. The difficulty of the two is vastly different. The difficulty is still the refusal of the masses to cooperate, such as this woman with heavy makeup.
Hostility from the people is always harder to deal with than artillery fire from the enemy.
When the military uniform on his body was insulted, it was difficult for Zeng Bo to suppress the anger in his heart, but he clearly wanted to refute but couldn't say a word, because he knew the humiliation he suffered now, and what happened to these Shanghai people who were forced to leave their homes. Compared with the suffering, it is not worth mentioning.
Although the main government of Shanghai City, the main government of Jiangbei Province and the central government have repeatedly stressed that the resettlement of the evacuated people will be done well, everyone knows that once they leave the city, they will lose everything they had.
To give a very simple example, the real estate prices in Shanghai have been stable all year round in the top three cities in China. A house in the urban area can easily cost hundreds of millions. Once the householder is forced to leave Shanghai, these houses are in the midst of war. If it collapses, then what will be the compensation for the losses of the householders? By the treasury? Obviously not realistic.
Many Shanghai people pointed to the house or houses at home to stabilize their value. This time they evacuated, and their value was directly wiped out. It is no wonder that the Shanghai city government tightened the house purchase policy three months ago, and then simply Issue a document to suspend all real estate transactions - in fact, this is already a clear signal, everyone knows that the undercurrent that has been brewing for several months may turn into a stormy wave at any time, but there are always people who are lucky and refuse to accept the reality.
Even if you don't mention real estate, just talk about work, Shanghai City has gathered cultural and business elites from all over the country and even the world. Even these talents may not be able to find a satisfactory new job after they transfer to other provinces. What about the middle- and low-end working people? They finally took root in Shanghai, and now they are uprooted and thrown back to their hometown or in a foreign land, which will inevitably have an impact on the local job market.
If you can’t find a new job and lose your source of income, how can you continue your life? After enjoying a middle-to-high-level quality of life, suddenly living in a container or resettlement house, and relying on government relief funds, many people must not be able to accept such a gap.
Only Zeng Bo knew that there had been more than 40 suicide attempts within three days, and this was only the evacuation point that their company was responsible for. If the total number of all evacuation points was multiplied by this number, the number of suicides could exceed 8,000. . Fortunately, the national security and police departments seem to have a ubiquitous and nuanced intelligence network that can always stop every suicide before the line of death, just like preventing mass incidents.
Although there are no cases of suicide, even though the foreign forces that always fan the flames and the netizens lurking in China have been silent this time, conspiracy theories are still spreading in the streets, saying that the official government has covered up the real number of suicides . After all, there are always those people who, even if they don't get any benefit, like to make the situation even more chaotic when chaos occurs, as if seeing others as fearful as themselves is the only way to reassure them.
The so-called "exposing the dark side of China" can't stand up to scrutiny, but it is still easier to gain the trust of the people than the government's reports and press conferences, resulting in repeated new problems in the evacuation work. Facing the swords, lights, swords and shadows thrown over by their own people, the soldiers had almost no power to fight. If it wasn't for Guoan, the giant hidden in the shadows, to help, the three divisions would have been utterly defeated in this battle against time.
These are all things Zeng Bo knows, but what he doesn't know is why he, who was wearing a military uniform and carrying a long gun, turned the gun on his own people and forced them to leave after he was ready to sacrifice his blood and life. native land?
Not to mention that I haven’t seen any gray cracks or traces of monsters in the magic tide. Even if there is a magic tide coming, how can I hand over the country without firing a single shot? This is not a barren mountain with scarce resources, this is the Pearl of the Orient, one of the prides of China! To retreat without a fight is a shame!
Zeng Bo couldn't think of an answer, and no one would give him an answer. A qualified soldier should not question the commander's order. Even if Zeng Bo was not a qualified soldier, Ma Qiangma's company commander could always be. A qualified officer, he never responded to the questions raised by his soldiers about the evacuation. Perhaps he was tight-lipped, or he was equally puzzled.
In the end, after asking the company commander for instructions, Zeng Bo sent the rude woman from Shanghai to the direct train to Nandu, where the resettlement office staff would wait. Although the woman kept saying, "Send me to a country place where I can't find a few Starbucks, it's better to let me die", Zeng Bo believed that after the first few days of extreme emotional fluctuations, she was still able to face Accepting new life to reality.
After all, people's ability to adapt is actually very strong. After he joined the army as a college otaku, he was drilled to death by the instructors and veterans. Didn't he survive successfully? Even in the stinky dormitory, he could survive seven To fall asleep to the snoring ensemble of the snoring baby, it is not impossible to live.
Besides, there are Starbucks in Nandu and Suzhou and Hangzhou, which may not be worse than the Starbucks in Shanghai.
"Even if life is unsatisfactory, you can still live well, right? After all, the government can't really ignore them, and what should be done must be done properly." Zeng Bo said to his colleagues beside him as if talking to himself.
"Who knows." The colleague from Shanghai Garrison Area shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, few families can afford this kind of sudden change, like the migrants who settled in Shanghai. After the initial period of time, I can always find a way out myself. Like those who have been in Shanghai for generations, I am afraid they can only accept the resettlement of the government. Therefore, it is really good to use things like real estate and household registration books to stabilize one's worth. It’s not reliable, if there is a war one day and nothing is lost, the real money and silver in your hands are still reliable.”
Zeng Bo pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The world has changed greatly, maybe real money and silver are not reliable, but only my own ability is reliable."
The colleague was stunned for a while, and agreed: "Yeah, so I envy those awakened ones, ah, but envy is useless, envy won't come."
Zeng Bo was about to say something to comfort him, saying that maybe we would wake up too, but at this moment the door opened, and the platoon leader and two comrades walked in with a man.
"Another one who refuses to leave, Zeng Bo, you are doing ideological work, as usual, if you can't, just handcuff you and send it away."
The platoon leader left, and Zeng Bo stared at the man sitting on the chair and opened his mouth.
"Instructor Cheng?"
