Is it a contradiction to increase the number of reserve soldiers while strictly controlling arms?
This just shows that the situation is still under the control of the authorities, who are also trying to put the brakes on and strengthen safety supervision.
It's even possible that all of this was part of the plan and was originally a back-up to increase "human resources".
Even without special investigation, Lu Ping'an knew that among the "superpower criminals", those who had just come into contact with "superpowers" and "professionals" were the most numerous.
Don't be misled by the dozens of professionals in Guda. Most of the "polluted people" have no chance to become professionals. On the one hand, they don't have this opportunity, but on the other hand, they can't bear the hardship.
If you can't do it after months and years of hard work, then it's always possible to read books, play with paintings, plant flowers, and other "artistic" things, right? But the fact is, it's just the opposite.
The requirements of the latter are even higher, and the most fatal thing is that most polluters do not have the "will" to become professionals from the beginning.
"People will die sooner or later."
"I can't even have enough to eat. Do you want me to practice spiritual practice? Study part-time? Who will pay me a salary?"
"I'm already forty-five, how can I still practice?"
"...Can you help me get a disability certificate? At least it will make me comfortable for a few years."
Fantasy stories in reality are far more cruel than those in fantasy novels. Those who suffer from "supernatural crises" and awaken supernatural powers are often not teenagers or girls. On the contrary, because the living areas of teenagers and children are relatively fixed, middle-aged and elderly people are
are concentrated victims.
Among teenagers and children who learn quickly and have a good future, due to the widespread smuggling and dissemination of "forbidden knowledge" in some gray industries, the gangsters are the easiest people to come into contact with.
After they gain "power", it's often the beginning of a bad story.
Money, women, rights, some individuals only have these in their heads, and some people have even crossed the edge of the law long ago... When they are sure that they cannot become professionals, the reality of chronic death will make them even more worried.
They are crazy, and for the sake of "a good life before death", they will trample the law and other people's lives even more wantonly.
To be more extreme, becoming a professional does not mean that you can endure such a life. The ideas and practices of "cultivating immortality with evil ways", "cultivating immortality with resources", and "fighting to support war" are also very common in this world, and in some aspects are more common.
It's reality... Money and resources can buy knowledge and power, and advancement can extend life. In order to survive, what is the lower limit?
Then, many villains have discovered the "laws of the world of the weak and the strong", especially the new super gangs who have no respect and do not know how to restrain their attacks. They are the targets that need to be severely punished.
But recently, things have been a little different.
"Good thing, the super crime rate was six percentage points lower this quarter, the first time in three years."
"Haha, this is because those gangs and individual criminals were frightened by the big event. In a sense, I have to thank Fang Wen. Not to mention the damage caused by the TV tower robot, the deterrent effect is real.
, many little children who suddenly swelled up were frightened.”
"Indeed, the crime rate of young and new polluters has dropped significantly. It should be a 'cooling off period' after a major incident. I don't know how long it can last."
"At least two months. It's obvious from above. Let's seize the time and do something."
Lu Ping'an himself has been on duty and has been exposed to many cases. The truly cruel and insidious murders often involve seemingly ordinary "ordinary people", especially those with "new superpowers" who have just gained power but have not been properly guided.
By".
For a real ordinary citizen, there is no difference between a newly awakened child and a fourth-level child. On the contrary, the fourth-level child will also learn to respect order and stronger power. The child has no idea what cruelty and lower limits are...
..The scenes of some murders even go far beyond the sacrifice rituals of cultists.
Under such circumstances, strict control of arms is actually a good thing.
There is not much difference between professionals with knives and those without knives (quasi-polluting weapons). For mortals, they are both unable to resist.
But for new criminals who have just expanded, there is a difference between having courage and having no courage.
"This is a war with the black market..."
The city's largest steam factory cannot be bypassed, and the trading place may also be involved.
The special service teams in each district have completed reorganization and expansion. Regardless of the quality of the new recruits, their on-paper combat capabilities have been at least doubled.
Bidige
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the Alien Management Bureau dares to make big moves now.
"... Let's temporarily stop the arms trade for a while."
This is not because of fear of attack or anything, Lu Ping'an is confident that they will never be able to touch the courtyard door, but this is an "attitude", an attitude of which direction one prefers.
Anyway, this thing is just a gust of wind, completely banning the trade of "arms" and "contraband"? That is even God can't do it, demand promotes the market, and the special service members themselves have to buy guns on the black market (there is always additional demand).
"Maybe we can attack the steam factory. After a while, the transaction volume here will increase significantly."
Lu Pingan himself is quite open-minded, of course, because the trading volume in his market is not large, and the real core selling point is not arms.
He also saw clearly that this thing cannot be banned. Even if all the "black markets" cannot be traded, those behaviors that use the Internet, small advertisements to communicate, and private transactions will still happen.
What the Differentiation Administration has to do is to increase transaction costs and prevent a large number of low- and medium-end polluting items from flowing into the market and causing further social unrest.
At the same time, additional weapons will be issued through "official channels" and a certain degree of "weapons registration" will be carried out.
"This is the path followed by a major Western country... Are quasi-polluting items and taboo items going to increase, or will they increase sharply? How about stocking up on supplies?"
If something is banned or blocked, as long as there is still demand, it will be converted into expenditure costs for consumers in the market, and price increases are a common phenomenon.
But the next moment, Lu Pingan shook his head.
It takes too much time and does not cost enough. Moreover, if it is exposed, its position in the "order camp" will be doubted.
And more importantly, when the "regular black market" is cracked down, your "uncatchable black market" will naturally get a lot of benefits. There is really no need to expose yourself for a small profit at this time.
Even if some transactions are strictly investigated in the future, there will definitely still be a large number of private transactions. Just as a "pure communication place where force cannot be used", my trading place can get a lot of traffic... even if it is a special agent
Bureau, and cannot arrest people at the trading location.
He shook his head again. He didn't have to think about these things. Doing nothing seemed to be the biggest benefit.
As for myself, there are some tasks that I really cannot relax about.
"Strike hard?"
A new task has been assigned, and it’s natural to start working.
The special service teams are busy again. The first task is to liquidate some of the "evil forces" on the list... Those bastards often took the opportunity to do some messy things during the previous major events.
At that time, no one could take care of them. Now that we have all the people, it is naturally time for liquidation.
In today's world where "everyone has a gun", there is no way to clean up these people, but if you crack down on a few and intimidate them, ordinary citizens will feel much better.
The work that Lu Ping'an was entrusted with was slightly different.
"Lu Ping'an, you are finally willing to see me."
"Professor Wen, aren't you too busy with classes during this period? Aren't I here now?"
The small laboratory is full of messy books and petri dishes. This is just the personal room of Professor Wen from the School of Botany, Department of Logistics.
This time, Lu Ping'an brought a large amount of "dirt" and came to the Master Gardener specifically to identify and track it.
Nominally, they are tracking new biological weapons including "piranha" and "automatic cannon", but in reality, what needs to be tracked more is the person behind the "White Sleeping Cherry".
