But religion is indeed useful. For example, most of the members of the cleaners are devout believers. Participating in such a dangerous job is not to follow Hong Tao to pursue the truth, but to fulfill the wish of Allah.

Hong Tao himself is also an annoying thing, as long as he sees other people have good things, he will itch.If you can have hundreds or thousands of people like this under your command, whether it is an alliance or not, it is too small, and you must move towards the growth of the earth.

The strike in the new security zone lasted for half a month, which surprised the capital base and even the entire East Asian Alliance members.At the beginning, most people felt that it was the same as a few years ago, some unsafe people took advantage of immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces to fiddle around, and it must be a flash in the pan.

But this time it was obviously different. The city strike was just a city strike. There were no large-scale gatherings to protest, and no small-scale conflicts with the security forces. The New Sixth and New Seventh Districts were peaceful.It is said that the refugees in Xinjiang Province are cultivating several pieces of wasteland near water sources, trying to harvest another batch of vegetables before winter comes.

Believe it or not, as long as you turn on the radio, you can hear clear female voices telling what happened in the new safe zone every day.Believe it, it doesn't make sense. Could it be that the management office and the alliance government are trash, and they can't even deter the [-] to [-] new immigrants?

Today, the female voice on the radio is talking about one thing from morning to noon to night, about the ownership of houses and land in the safe zone.She raised a question that some people may have thought about before, but no one really paid attention to it, whether the houses and land of the refugees should be owned by the coalition government.

If so, where did the Union government get the land and houses?Certainly not the old world, the old world was gone before the transfer of power, there was no will at all, let alone supporting documents.

If not, why do the refugees buy or rent houses to live in?There is indeed construction investment in the safe zone, such as repairing houses, connecting water and electricity.According to the simple principle of who comes first, it is barely reasonable to count it as the property of the alliance government.

How should this property be distributed?The government is just a management agency, not a second landlord, and it will eventually be distributed to the public for use.According to the basic rules of the alliance, all means of production belong to the collective.

But that was the rule ten years ago. At that time, there were only [-] people in the alliance, and the productivity was seriously insufficient. Collective labor must be adopted. Only by uniting can we have the strength to compete with zombies and nature.Now that the population has increased dozens of times, and basic agriculture and animal husbandry, light and heavy industries, and energy and medical care are all available, eating a big pot of rice will also affect efficiency.

Moreover, it is no longer a big pot of rice. Only official residents enjoy rations, free food and drink, free housing, and free schooling and medical treatment.The vast number of refugees not only have nothing, but also have to spend money to buy houses, rent houses to live in, and do the heaviest, most tiring, and most dangerous jobs every day.

The fruits of labor of 10,000+ people are enjoyed by 2 or [-] people. What kind of constitution is it to say that the collective is not a collective, and that private ownership is not private?

At the same time, the crisp female voice also raised a question, not only asking the alliance government to give an answer, but also calling on the refugees to think about it in their minds, that is the red zone.

The red zone is unsafe, very dangerous, and private entry is not allowed.After nearly a decade of enforcement, this concept has become almost a common truth, and no one but a few outlaws can find it wrong.

1056 Soul Torture 2

But in fact, is it unsafe in the red zone? The woman on the radio gave a completely opposite answer.She said that the cleared red zone is very safe, there are neither zombies nor infectious diseases, except for the hordes of wild beasts, which are rich living materials.

Regardless of whether wild animals or living materials are urgently needed by the refugees, why does the alliance government allow so many useful things to rot and rust, and not let the refugees use them?

Lack of labor?This is farting.Did the refugees use someone else to deliver the goods?As long as they are allowed to enter and exit the red zone, they can wipe out the red zone with their bare buttocks with their fingers.Not only did they have no complaints, but they could also pay part of the harvest as a tax to make up for the cost of cleaning up the zombies that the alliance government had spent in the past.

Afraid of bandits?This problem does exist, but it is not impossible to solve.Led by the coalition government, a part of the security forces or soldiers will be deployed to accept the employment of refugees.

Every time they enter the red zone, dozens or dozens of people act together. How big a gang of bandits must be to be able to move?With such a large gang of bandits, what is the alliance army doing?

Have an infectious disease?That's pure nonsense. The red zone has been deserted for more than ten years. Except for plants, there are animals everywhere. The ruins of the reinforced concrete city have almost turned into virgin forests. The drivers of the transport team pass through it all the year round. Sick back?

It can effectively replenish material reserves, solve the work of a large number of refugees, and pay a lot of taxes. No matter where you look at it, it is at least a win-win thing. Why has it been banned for so many years?

The crisp female voice said that she really didn't know, but it raised a possibility.Could it be that some people are afraid that the refugees will not be willing to be leeks after relying on the resources of the Red Zone to eat their stomachs and have surplus money?

This thing is just like raising chickens. The chicks hatched from the eggs will see rows of cages at the first sight, and all they eat are mixed feed, and they will not even think about going outside until they die. Turn, taste what it's like to be a little bug.

They don't even know that there is a sun and moon in the world, they only know to turn on the lights to eat and turn off the lights to sleep every day.When they are full, they try to lay eggs in the cage, and compare each other who lays more eggs while laying, and take pride in it.

Easy to manage, save food, lay more eggs... Faced with so many benefits, why would the managers release the chickens?Play wild with your heart, and see what the world looks like, some chickens don't want to go back to the cage, let alone a machine that lays eggs.

So there are many weasels, foxes, and eagles outside who eat chickens, and there are many chicken plagues. If you don’t die, you will have sequelae. It’s too dangerous. Don’t go there. It becomes the only sound in the chicken coop every day.It is doubtful whether they really care about chickens, but it is more reliable to say that they care about egg production.

One stone caused a thousand waves. No one mentioned it before. Everyone felt that it was normal for others not to go, nor should they go.Now that someone has publicly raised doubts, no matter what kind of understanding the refugees have, they naturally have to think more about it.After all, this problem is closely related to my own life, and it is impossible to ignore it.

Where can I find out what's really going on in the Red Zone?This matter is really not difficult. Everyone suddenly discovered that the truth has always been around. The drivers of the transport team are the most reliable source of information, which is more direct than asking any experts.

The consequence of this is that the checkpoints and sentry posts on the Fourth Ring Road are frequently alarmed. Even if most refugees have learned the real situation in the red zone from the mouths of the coachmen they know well, they are still on the sidelines out of fear and habit.

But no matter at any time, there are more radical, or more urgent ones in the group.There are a lot of living materials that can be collected in the red zone. For those refugees with poor living conditions, it is a ray of sunshine shining through the dark clouds, allowing them to see a glimmer of hope to improve their lives.

I hope that this thing is also the nature of human beings. In fact, it is a lie, because it has not actually appeared, and it cannot be 100% sure that it will appear. Whether it will appear or not depends entirely on whether you believe it piously!

Sound a bit like religion?That's right, the most important reason why human beings can develop to today and become the overlord on the earth is not to know how to use tools and discover fire, but to be able to lie.

Hopes, ideals, gods, afterlife, doctrines, economics, and philosophies are all lies, all conceived by the brain.A small group of people are responsible for lying, and it depends on who makes it up, and most people follow suit, which makes the group roll forward.

Right now, some refugees are starting to struggle for hope. They use various methods to test and break through the blockade between the safe zone and the red zone.Facing the sudden tide of smuggling, the alliance army in charge of guarding was in a dilemma.

Let's shoot, knowing that those people are only for food, not threats, but people like me, maybe they have met and chatted with them, so I really can't do it.Don't shoot, and you can't just watch them pass through the area they guard, at least not before waiting for the order from the superior.

As the saying goes, there are countermeasures above and policies below, and the Sentinels quickly found a way to get the best of both worlds.When they spotted stowaways, they issued a warning first, and then intentionally missed.

The timid ones heard the gunshots and saw the bullets cremated on the nearby ground, turned their heads and went back, and the bold ones went out regardless of life and death.Soldiers on illegal radio stations can also receive the broadcast, and they probably know what's going on. Anyway, they have to come back after running out. It's not too late to catch them, and it's even more cost-effective.

It's a pity that their thinking is a bit simple, or they don't have much insight into human nature.Ten people smuggled five people unsuccessfully, three people were arrested when they came back, and the remaining two people succeeded. They really brought back a large bag of urgent supplies, and they exchanged a lot of money in the market in a blink of an eye.

The stories of the first eight losers are only known to their families, neighbors, and friends, while the stories of the latter two successful people are widely circulated, and as their lives have improved significantly, they have become role models for most refugees.

With a role model, there will be followers. In less than a week after the broadcast, the gunshots near the Southeast Fourth Ring Road became a nightly time teller and weather forecast.When the gun is fired, it basically indicates that the night is completely dark, and it is still a cloudy day.

It would be even more lively if it caught up with the wind and rain. The stowaways, dressed in earthy gray clothes, braved the wind and rain in groups, stuck their bodies tightly to the ground, and squirmed southward and southward like earthworms. , and then south.

With more and more smugglers succeeding, a new industry has gradually emerged in the south of the city, the snakehead!Similar to the smugglers in the old world, they organized and planned to send the refugees who wanted to eat night grass out of the blockade, and then responded at the agreed place and time, which greatly increased the success rate.

Of course, there were also those who were in a hurry and shot at the searchlights on the watchtower, which triggered the soldiers' revenge.With a burst of machine guns, even the organizers and the refugees beat most of them to the ground.

There were collective casualties among the refugees, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally had to rush to the scene for inspection as soon as possible. Wang Jian was secretly investigating a weapon smuggling case in the new safety zone, so Lan Yuer had to lead the team here in person.

The sentry shot and wounded the refugees, and the army certainly couldn't stay out of the incident. Zhang Ke also had to go to the scene in person to keep an eye on the government people, so as not to put shit on the army.

These two childhood playmates have become representatives of their respective groups. They must cooperate but cannot be trusted. Sometimes they have to deliberately play tricks to fight for the interests of their own groups. Only the parties involved know how it feels.

"This is what your idol grandpa did. He hid behind and used the radio to encourage refugees to be cannon fodder, blamed the government for the trouble and blame, and then stood up and pretended to be neutral. By the way, he also diverted the attention of the coalition government from the new safe zone. , Killing three birds with one stone is really a good plan."

Fortunately, Fa Xiao's relationship is still there, and they understand each other deeply. They haven't been completely kidnapped by the group and become a tool person. In addition, the situation on the scene is simple and clear, and there is nothing to argue about. The division of responsibilities is quickly completed.Lan Yu'er looked at the corpses on the ground and Zhang Ke who seemed nothing had happened, and began to say strange things.

"You said less. If the old man is serious, at least four or five arrows will be used. Anyway, it is an arrow. You can shoot as many targets as you can. Arrows also have costs. It is shameful to waste them."

1057 Soul Torture 3

Since Zhang Ke heard about the radio, he reported to Deputy Minister Zhang Tao, reminding him to find ways to increase the number of patrols between the safe zone in the south of the city and the red zone, and attached a set of designed plans.

It is hoped that the security team will also set up a corresponding patrol team to strictly investigate pedestrians who appear near the cordon after dark.Strengthen the supervision of the Great Ocean Road market, cut off the trading channels of prohibited materials, and take a two-pronged approach to curb the possible smuggling tide.

But when the report was typed, nothing could be said. Zhang Tao's authority was only to transfer two platoons of reserve soldiers to increase the number of patrols.As for whether the government will cooperate, anyway, he mentioned it at the ministerial work meeting, but no one responded.

Now that tragedy has happened, who should be blamed?In his judgment, no one would be responsible. After all, it was a refugee who died, or a refugee with the nature of a desperado.

Although the Alliance government didn't say it clearly, it has always disliked this kind of people. Anyone who shows signs of resistance can be sentenced to ten years but not five years. It is better to die, so as not to affect other obedient citizens while alive.

"Who else?" Lan Yu'er suffered because she was too young at the time. Although she saw Hong Tao every day, she really didn't feel much, let alone go to school.Of course, it may be a blessing to learn less crooked ways.

"Look at their eyes..." Zhang Ke took off his glasses and wiped them vigorously, then raised his chin behind Lan Yu'er.There were several garbage carts parked there, and the coachmen and temporarily hired refugees were carrying the corpses.

"I don't know what you saw. Anyway, I saw disgust in their eyes. Looking at those people in the distance, there should be their family members and friends. There must be hatred in their eyes now.

The few eagles you just mentioned were just accidental injuries, and the inner feelings of these people are the real targets.Needless to say, after a few more visits, the East Asian Union will no longer be a paradise for refugees.At the critical moment, they will abandon us without hesitation, and even fight back! "

Although Zhang Ke is nearsighted, he can see farther and more carefully than Lan Yuer.Since the scene was blocked, no one could approach, and the refugees who came to watch the excitement or hear the news to find the traces of their relatives were all blocked [-] meters away.The eyes must be invisible, but intermittent whimpering and cursing can be heard.

"...Then you still support him?" Lan Yu'er didn't look back this time, she could guess what the family members of the refugees were thinking at this moment without looking, and now she was more concerned about Zhang Ke's thoughts.

On the issue of whether to support Hong Tao, she firmly stood on the side of the godmother, and neither supported nor opposed it in principle.But personally, she has a little resistance to Hong Tao, because her godmother often said that he is a man who is not worthy of a woman's entrustment for life.

"Do you think he killed these people? Director Lan, you need evidence in everything. You must have listened to the broadcast of the illegal radio station, and you should have made a detailed record, not a single word is wrong.

Then let me ask you, there are obviously a lot of resources that can be collected in the red zone, why would you rather see the refugees live in poverty than allow them to use it?The person who asked the question became the executioner, but the person who caused the problem was innocent. What kind of reason is this? "

Zhang Ke is getting more and more disappointed with this little sister. She claims to be the number one successor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but as she grows older, apart from being more tactful in handling things and more agile in throwing blame, she has not improved in thought at all.

At the same time, I secretly rejoiced that I backed down at the beginning. If I married this wife, life would be difficult in the future.The three views are different, and they all work in the management team, and they are appointed to quarrel every day.

"Like the gold diggers in Xinjiang and the scavengers in the Southwest Alliance? You should know their death rate. Without zombie attacks, just killing each other will reduce thousands of people every year.

The social problems caused by this are more serious. In order to compete for territory and resources in the red zone, they will collect weapons and form groups everywhere, and eventually develop into violent confrontation with law enforcement officers.You are a soldier, you may not be able to consider these things, it's normal. "

Lan Yuer is also not too fond of this big brother, the two have had more and more disagreements since they became adults, and they have different views on almost everything, such as banning refugees from entering the red zone.

Of course she knows the benefits of reusing search resources, but as a law enforcement officer, she must also be aware of the disadvantages brought about by it.Comparing the hatchback, it is obvious that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The refugees who do not enter the red zone can barely eat and wear. Except for the sick and the elderly every winter, the number of refugees who freeze to death and starve to death in the East Asian Union safe zone is far lower than other survivor organizations.

Entering the red zone may not necessarily solve the problem of eating and drinking, and may also generate various underground forces, which will still be exploited layer by layer.When the time comes, the people's livelihood will not improve, but the security issue will become a big problem, and it will be the refugees who will suffer in the end.

"They are people, just like us, not the number of cattle and sheep, nor the means of production. When you were young, you often said that Aunt Lin was too strict, forcing you to study every day, and asking if I could take you away.

Aunt Lin must have done this for your own good, but you didn’t think it was good at the time, and the refugees were the same, what we think is good may be bad for them.There is a way to harm others in the world, just call me for your own good!

Aunt Lin treats you like her own daughter, so she will naturally not harm you, and will take care of you to the end no matter what.But the alliance will definitely not treat refugees as relatives, it just needs more labor.In order to facilitate control, a set of measures has been formulated. It is called, we are for your good!

The two of us are not ordinary people, we are the management of the alliance, we are very clear about the cause and effect of this matter, and we are even participants.If you are not even willing to face this problem, it is meaningless to deceive yourself and others all day long and repeat lies as truth! "

Regarding Lan Yuer's rhetoric, Zhang Ke directly exposed it bluntly. He wanted to sing a high-profile talk about policies and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to close the door and play slowly. Anyone who doesn't applaud will wear small shoes, but don't play this game with me. set.

"But these rules are precisely made by your grandpa Hong!"

When it comes to bickering, Lan Yu'er is really not afraid of anyone. In this respect, she not only inherited Lin Na's eloquence, but also added years of experience. Stop talking!

"Typically, you only know one thing and don't know the other. It seems that Aunt Lin is not strict enough to force you to study more. The rules were made by Grandpa Hong. That's right. Under the circumstances back then, he used all means to gather survivors to avoid internal friction. It was a quick recovery. Production is the only means of preserving old world technology.

It is also the implementation of this set of rules that laid a solid foundation in the early days of the zombie disease outbreak, allowing the East Asian Alliance to still lead the survivor groups around the world today.

However, Grandpa Hong has emphasized countless times that rules are not dead dogmas, and must adapt to changes anytime and anywhere with different environments and conditions.It's a pity that since he left, no one has cared about the perfection and evolution of the rules anymore, and they don't have the ability and courage to dare to change against all opinions.

Including me, every time I think of something unreasonable, I grit my teeth and hate it, but when I think that changing it will touch the interests of many people and be opposed by many people, I immediately give up again, for fear of being like Director Liu and Director Zhou. Caught in a power struggle and eventually kicked out.

In fact, you also understand these principles, but because the butt is used to sitting in a high position, the brain naturally becomes a vassal of the butt.Once the seat is unstable, the first thing that comes to mind is not whether it is right, but how to get rid of the person shaking the seat.

To put it bluntly, you and I are used to treating the alliance as our own property. It doesn't matter who gets more or less from each other, and it doesn't matter if we fight over and over again, but outsiders are never allowed to come in and take a share.

Ten years, there are so many changes in ten years, and people are indeed the worst.I'm a little tired of sitting, and I'm going to think about whether I should sit like this, and then decide what to do.If you are not tired of sitting, you can try it and see if you can get rid of the shaking person before the seat falls apart. Keeping your butt is more important than using your brain.

You can tell Aunt Lin what I said, or go directly to Uncle Jiao and cry... Oh yes, there is no military affairs here, and I still have work to do, so I won't chat with Chief Lan. "

Chapter 1058 One after another

Zhang Ke was a little annoyed because his suggestion did not get the attention of his superiors, and finally had to go to the scene to watch the life and death. Mostly.

After talking happily, he realized that the pair of beautiful big eyes on the opposite side were also shining with hatred, so he slammed on the brakes and escaped under the pretext of work.Although he wasn't afraid of Lan Yu'er, he didn't want to irritate the second-in-command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Little fat man, you wait!" Sure enough, a clear and threatening voice came from behind.At this time, I can't turn back even if I am killed, so I quickly got into the armored vehicle and pretended not to hear.

"Godmother, I got it! The little fat man probably didn't know it, he was very irritable, and he said a lot of outrageous remarks, I will talk to you slowly when I go back! Hmph, that is, who am I, he wants to be with you I'm far behind!"

But as soon as the armored vehicle drove onto the main road, Lan Yuer, who was about to run away with her hands on her hips, dispelled her exercises and returned to her original state. She picked up the walkie-talkie without panting, adjusted the channel and reported to Lin Na in a low voice, with a proud expression on her face from time to time. smirk.

Poor Zhang Ke, who claims to have seen countless people, is used to intrigues in officialdom, but in the end, because of his youth and strong firepower, he was tricked by two women, one big and one small, with their femininity.

Lin Na's first reaction after hearing the collective death and injury of refugees in the safe zone was not to solve the case, but to consider how this incident would affect the political situation.The instigator is obvious, but Hong Tao's purpose of doing this is definitely not to use refugees as cannon fodder to cause trouble for the government, to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to ease the situation in the new safe zone.

That kind of routine is too simple, it can be understood by individuals, and it does not conform to Hong Tao's usual style of doing things.If you want not to be cheated by the old bastard, you must think deeply, as deep as you think.

Who benefits most from sparking conflict between refugees and armies?No one seems to benefit from it.It is easier to measure who will hurt the most.First of all, it wasn't Hong Tao himself. He couldn't even find the illegal radio station, so he couldn't just say that he was the mastermind behind it.

Secondly, the government led by Randy has nothing to do passively. It is not his idea to block the red zone. This bill has been implemented for nine years.The Safety Zone Management Office and the security team were not at fault in this accident, and the government cannot be blamed no matter what.

The army doesn't seem to have any responsibility.According to the regulations, if someone trespassed on the blockade, those who came from the outside could be shot and killed directly, and those who came from the inside who refused to listen to dissuasion after giving a warning were also shot and killed.If you can't even do this, then you are still guarding the blockade, and if someone touches a grenade sentry nearby, you will be reimbursed.

In the end, there is only a council left. On the surface, the council is a legislative body. If it does not participate in management, how can it be responsible.

But in this case, it is a bit interesting. The bill prohibiting refugees from entering the red zone was officially passed by the council, but there is no corresponding judicial interpretation. Even the circuit judge does not know how to answer this question.

What's more troublesome is that illegal broadcasts have pierced this layer of window paper, pointing the finger at the legislature, chasing after the original intention and principle of legislation.

Hong Tao was trying to find trouble with the council through illegal broadcasting, at least planting a seed among the refugees, explaining who is preventing them from living a good life, and the military just happened to be a helper.

Don't worry, whether it is accidental or not has to be determined.It would definitely be useless to ask Jiao Qiao, if the husband had reached a tacit understanding with Hong Tao behind his back, the fight would have ended long ago, and there was no need to bother so much.

There are not only husband factions in the military, it may be more chaotic than the factions in the government.On the surface, no one dared to violate the orders of the Ministry of Armed Forces, but under the premise of not violating the orders, it is not impossible to deliberately make some choices that are beneficial to a certain party.

Who is the most suspicious besides Jiao Qiao?Lin Na thinks there are three candidates.The first suspect is Zhang Ke. This little fat man is an admirer of Hong Tao, and he has the same ideas on many issues.Ever since he came back from Xinyang, he has been a little bit broken, and has met Hong Tao alone many times, so it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion.

The second suspect is Pei Shanxi, she is not the same as Zhang Ke, she has little taste of admiration, and mostly agrees with her.As the foreign survivors who joined the alliance in the early days, most of them have this attitude. They dare not say that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for Hong Tao, but it is definitely not difficult to collude secretly to help a little.

The third suspect is Zhang Tao, the veteran of the founding team of the alliance who has gradually climbed to the position of deputy minister of the armed forces from a waste who dislikes dogs. gratitude.

Even if he is more inclined to reformists, suspicion cannot be ruled out.The most powerful thing about the old bastard is that he can surprise his enemies to become friends. There was Zhou Yuan back then, and Zhao Bin and Jiang Yang recently.

There seems to be some kind of halo on him, which can turn fighting into jade.Woke up in the morning with bloody head and blood, each wanted to kill the other, but after lunch they suddenly fought side by side.I don't know how the trust between each other is established. Lin Na has never understood this trick, and it can only be attributed to talent.

The conversation between Lan Yuer and Zhang Ke was not set off by the atmosphere of the scene, but premeditated.Based on Lin Na's understanding of Zhang Ke, if this kid really cooperates with Hong Tao's actions, he will definitely show a harmless side to humans and animals, and you won't talk back to anything.

But there is still a sense of justice that young people should have in his heart, and he opposes all evil in the world. If he has no guilt in his heart, if he runs more, he will definitely show it a little bit.

Pei Shanxi's suspicion was ruled out for the time being. She personally led the team to Taihang Mountain to find illegal radio stations. The skills and connections required for remote command were too complicated, and it should not be possible for the female team leader who stayed in the station all year round.

Zhang Tao, there is no need to try it out, just observe his performance at the ministerial meeting. Lin Na plans to complete this task by herself.

In fact, there should be an important suspect, Zhou Yuan.But this time it can be ruled out first. The female foreign minister is currently in the Southeast Alliance, grinding her teeth for the Xinyang matter.

I heard that the progress is not going well. The other party seriously doubts the intention of the East Asian Alliance to send troops across the Huaihe River. It is estimated that they will not be able to return for a while. There is no one in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who can replace her and cooperate with Hong Tao.
