Blackstone Code Chapter 198: Military strength
After lunch at noon, which is technically the afternoon, Ferrara drove to pick up Lynch.
Lynch talked to him on the phone in the morning and talked about the recent rapid deterioration of law and order in Sabine City, as well as his concerns. Ferrar said that he could solve these small problems for Lynch, and he would come to pick up Lin in the afternoon. strange.
Sitting in Ferrara's car, Ferrara said while driving, "It's best not to drive your car for a while, honestly, the speed of the situation is developing now. Exceeded our expectations."
This is the charm of wealth. The mayor will never tell Lynch that the situation is out of control. He will only show that he has everything under control. As for the rest, it is impossible. Things that happened.
Ferrar is different. He is loyal to his work and has a work ethic.
He took Lynch's money and hoped to keep it, so he had to give Lynch some advice and tell him something he knew but Lynch didn't know.
The situation has developed faster than the ruling clique of Sabine City expected. The mayor and Ferrar's view is that after the New Year, these people who have been tortured by life may try to attack financial institutions.
Wait until March or April next year before they may hit the federal government.
It wasn't that they couldn't survive before that. The city's sufficient food rolls at least allowed them to ignore the problem of hunger. If they just didn't have money in their hands, this shouldn't happen.
But the fact gave them a slap without hesitation, making them realize the power of reality.
"A small gang attack on the bank was repelled last night. The Chief of Police and the Chief of Investigation believe they have made a bad start. More violent robberies may follow."
"Your car is so conspicuous that it's easy to be spotted. I suggest you buy a used car and get it repaired."
At this time, the red light came on, Ferrara released his foot from the accelerator, he tilted his head and looked at Lynch, "You can decorate the interior of the car very luxuriously, it will not affect Your enjoyment, people won't pay much attention to you, because it doesn't look like it's valuable."
While the two of them were talking, a gunshot suddenly came from the street, and then the crowd on the street quickly dispersed and ran away.
A guy in a hat, glasses, and a jacket, hiding himself, ripped a bag from the hands of a guy who fell to the ground. There were two patrolmen in the distance, but apparently they didn't Interfere with the crime scene in the first place.
When the robber pointed the gun at the guy on the ground again, facing the fear of death, the passerby let go of his hands, and the robber quickly rushed into the alley by the roadside with the bag.
Then two patrol officers came to check the injuries of the injured and called for reinforcements.
Because of the appearance of the police, some people appeared on the street, some of whom ran over to watch, and the order seemed to have been restored to a certain extent.
"Uh...", Ferrar felt like he had to explain something, but everything happened so fast, it actually took less than twenty seconds from the sound of the gunshots to now, maybe only fifteen seconds or so , his own mind has not completely turned around.
"Maybe the police didn't react...", he used his own way to find an excuse for the police to witness the crime but be indifferent.
Lynch looked at him, he also looked at Lynch, but he gradually moved his eyes away from Lynch's calm gaze, he released his hands that were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and raised his voice, "Okay, In fact, this question..."
His words were interrupted by the honking of a retreating horn, and the car restarted, explaining the problem along the way.
From last night's emergency to this morning, seven people from the police station have submitted their resignation reports, and some are still concerned about the movement.
These police officers are very cunning, and can also be understood as smart. Anyway, police officers are hard work, and they don't have to worry about not being able to go back to work after the situation subsides.
The city is too dangerous right now. There have been cases of armed attacks on financial institutions. I am afraid that more terrible things will happen soon.
As police officers, they will face these terrible criminals, not the **** on TV who will run around in panic as soon as they see a policeman with a head like a mouse.
Some of them have more shooting experience than the police. It is true that some people are willing to stand up for the justice in their hearts without fear of death, but most of them are ordinary people who are not willing to pay 300 yuan a month for their salary. Covered with the flag and buried in the soil.
So the chief of police allowed them to temporarily evade in the face of armed crimes, in exchange for the police continuing to maintain stability.
The speed of the car gradually slowed down during the conversation. It has left the central block of the city and looks a bit shabby.
There is a semi-cylindrical building on the side of the road, like this "⌒", there is a large open space in front of the building, there are some fitness training equipment on it, after the car parked on the side of the road, Lin Qi found out There is actually a sign here - "Sebine City Military Club".
As the two walked inside, Ferrar said, "Although we remain neutral, we also have a sound military system, which is to prevent certain countries from undeclaring war."
"A large number of veterans return to the society every year. This is the most concentrated place for veterans in Sabine City. It happens that my wife's father is also a veteran..."
Ferrar opened the door of the building for Lynch. As soon as he entered the building, he could immediately see two soldiers sitting at the front desk. The silver-haired old man greeted him with a smile.
This old soldier is the father of Ferrara's wife. After Lynch and him briefly greeted him, the three entered the rear of the building, which was a place that looked like a military camp.
"We have maintained some of the faces in the army to the maximum extent, which allows the children who have returned from the army to better return to society."
According to some studies, soldiers who have lived in the military for a long time have difficulty adjusting to life in ordinary society once they are discharged.
You must know that when they lived and worked in the army, they all learned techniques related to killing, and they always maintained a high fighting spirit and were ready to go to war anytime, anywhere.
This is somewhat conflicted with a peaceful and peaceful life, and many people have some psychological problems in this strong contrast, which eventually leads to some tragedies.
The Military Club is one such organization. The organizers are commissioned by the Ministry of Defense to open such an organization to help those soldiers readjust and integrate into society.
Under the introduction of the old soldiers, the three came to a barracks. When the three came in, the soldiers who were sitting or lying in the barracks suddenly turned over and stood in front of their beds, just like in the army. .
Ferrar's wife's father had some proud smiles on his face as he looked at Lynch and asked, "How are my lads?"
That's the solution Ferrar found for him - veterans.
"These young people were all discharged in May and haven't had too much exposure to society. Each of them is a great guy in the army." Ferrar explained to Lynch, meaning that they did not Who will arrange it, and there is no need to worry about loyalty issues.
Lynch nodded, glanced over the faces of these young people one by one, and finally decided to come down.
"They all have gun licenses..."
Before Ferrar said anything, his wife's father said, "You don't need to worry about this, it's definitely there."
Lynch looked at him, then at Ferrara, and the matter was completely settled.
Lynch's statement also made his father-in-law relieved. Veterans' pensions and living arrangements have always been arranged by the veterans' offices in various regions~IndoMTL.com~ These things used to be easy to do, as long as one With a letter of introduction, the factory owners are happy to accept these obedient veterans. They obey the rules and regulations of the factory better than ordinary people, and they are better at management.
But it's so bad now that even the Veterans Factory doesn't want it, these veterans coming back from Sabine this year haven't gotten a guaranteed job so far, and the Department of Defense, Veterans The office, and the local military club realized that if they were allowed to roam the society, there was a very high risk of a scene that no one wanted to see.
They may be lured by some criminals, or they may use their professional military capabilities to commit crimes because of life compulsions. At that time, the police will not face the thugs with guns. It's a well-trained killing machine.
So after a very short-lived agreement, the military club also began to mobilize efforts to solve the life problems of these young people.
The Department of Defense will direct funding to military clubs everywhere until the current situation is lifted.
By the time Lynch and Ferrara's wife's father signed the deal in the office, the lads were all geared up, packing up their stuff like they were in the military and waiting for Lynch.
They were curious about Lynch, because Lynch was younger than all of them, which made them feel that it shouldn't be too difficult to get along with this boss, and they were also full of expectations for the future life.
When Lynch came out of the office and shook hands with Ferrar's wife's father in front of the soldiers, the young men were completely relieved.
When the sergeant with the highest rank among these people was going to say something, he suddenly found that he didn't know how to communicate with Lynch. After a brief period of confusion, his mind went blank...
