‘Governor Alfonso’ showed up again, and there was no disturbance in the city of Merida. Although I heard that the Aurora Legion was quite ruthless, the boss didn’t panic, and the people below him naturally calmed down.
The next day, there was a meeting in the city hall.
Giris Diego, who had just accepted the appointment from the Presidential Palace, took office and became the commander-in-chief of the front line. However, this empty-headed commander was not even a rubber stamp for the time being. He convened a meeting with the city's bureaucrats and even invited Alfonso's cousin.
'Only by showing up can everyone be summoned.
Giris was also very knowledgeable. He was sitting in the middle of the conference room but took the initiative to let his 'cousin' say a few words first. And 'Governor Alfonso' also did his part. He grabbed the microphone and coughed twice in a heavy tone.
Said: "Gentlemen, the current situation is very serious!"
As soon as the boss spoke, the big shots in Merida City on the 20th and 30th below immediately sat upright with serious faces - no matter what the boss said, face must be given!
'Governor Alfonso' continued: "Currently, the Aurora Legion has invaded our territory and has destroyed Cancun, which is less than 300 kilometers away from us. The enemy's brutality is beyond imagination. We can take a look at the tragic situation in Cancun."
People at the Governor's Palace used a virtual projection to display a series of photos in the conference room of the city hall. They were all scenes of Cancun after it was smashed by more than a hundred 'M-7's. There was a gasp in the conference room because
The picture is too miserable.
Walls collapsed, houses collapsed, and ruins were broken. These words are not enough to describe the tragic situation in Cancun. Huge craters can be seen everywhere in the city. The ground is like a moon crater. A large number of corpses can be seen in the ruins of various buildings. It is a bit like hell on earth.
Not an exaggeration.
Commander Giris had just escaped from Cancun. Looking at the current situation in Cancun, he was filled with sadness. He couldn't help but sigh: "The strength of the Aurora Legion is far more powerful than we expected. The current situation is indeed very serious."
"I suggest that everyone observe a minute of silence for the victims of Cancun." After speaking, 'Governor Alfonso' lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Everyone else followed suit, and the atmosphere was sad.
I don’t know if a minute passed, but Merida’s senior management, who was immersed in mourning, suddenly heard a sentence, “Next, let’s talk about the issue of war bonds.”
Hey...? This sentence brought everyone back from their grief. Everyone looked blankly at His Excellency the Governor sitting at the top, and everyone started teasing Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
"Do you really want to get war bonds?"
"Who are you selling this bond to?"
"I suddenly had a bad feeling."
It was not easy for everyone to discuss on the spot, but twenty or thirty pairs of eyes glanced back and forth, which clearly revealed everyone's thoughts. However, His Excellency the Governor turned a blind eye and continued: "It is precisely because the situation is serious that we must rise up to fight.
We must not lose our dignity just because the enemy is strong. The land does not distinguish between north and south, and people, old and young, all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, because they are determined to sacrifice everything!"
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of noise in the entire conference room. Everyone couldn't help but look at their governor with dumbfounded expressions. Even Commander Giris seemed to have never seen his 'cousin' before.
, I can’t imagine that he would say such a thing at all.
Everyone in the conference room had the same sentence in their minds - what is "determination to sacrifice everything"? Boss, are you serious?
Yesterday you came back looking like a libertine, saying that the wine in Havana was delicious and the girl was good to sleep with. Today you have transformed into a righteous national hero. It is wrong to act like this!
But in response to everyone's confusion, 'Governor Alfonso' slammed the table and Duang shouted: "Facing the ferocious enemy, we must give up all illusions, be mentally prepared, and turn the war situation to the worst
I think we should consider 'fight early, fight hard, and fight a nuclear war'."
Bang..., bang!
Mr. Paramount, the chairman of the Merida Chamber of Commerce, slipped and sat down on the ground. Everyone saw that his face was pale and they were frightened.
Even if the others are not sitting on the ground, they are already wailing in their hearts - Boss, you don't have to scare us like this. We can even surrender. The most important word in walking in the world is life! There is no need to fight to the death with the enemy.
of!
Giris also felt that his cousin was speaking too pessimistically about the situation, and he couldn't help but want to interject something, but 'Governor Alfonso' shouted again: "You must understand that peace is achieved through struggle.
Then peace will exist; if peace is sought through compromise, peace will perish.
I am issuing an order now. From now on, anyone who dares to surrender and flee will be a traitor to our country and nation and will be killed without mercy!"
Bang..., bang!
Several more people sat down on the ground. Mr. Paramount, who had just gotten up, simply fainted and was unaware of his identity. Others, under the murderous gaze of the Governor, had goosebumps in their hearts.
It's freezing cold.
After saying these ruthless words, 'Governor Alfonso' softened his tone and continued: "Of course, you are all the elites of my government, and I have no intention of letting you go to the battlefield in person.
We will never give up on peace before it reaches the stage of fundamental despair. We will never make sacrifices lightly before the sacrifice reaches the final moment. What we have to do now is to work together and overcome the difficulties together.
From now on, our most important task is to prepare for war. However, the war funding from Mexico City is very limited, and the Enclave's assistance is also out of reach. We must save ourselves.
To fight, you need to build an army. To build an army, you need to spend money, and the cost is huge. So I decided to issue war bonds to raise funds, endorse it with the credit of our country, and use the future war compensation after defeating the Aurora Legion as income. Everyone is welcome to participate
Buy."
Pfft... After saying these harsh words, relationship boss, you are here to ask for money!
A bunch of bureaucrats in the conference hall suddenly had grimaces on their faces, and they all looked like they were hurting to death. In the face of war, they would really rather surrender than pay for it. Yesterday, they felt that Giris was here to trick people.
Now it seems that the Commander is still very reasonable, but the Governor is the most deceitful!
Now that the situation is clear, everyone's eyes have shifted from the face of the Governor to the face of the Commander. Giris, whose heart was beating wildly just now, suddenly felt the elation of being supported, as if just a nod from him,
Just cough and you will instantly become the Lord of Merida.
But Giris took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am very supportive of Governor Alfonso's idea. I don't have many assets, but I am willing to subscribe for a war bond of five thousand gold coins."
As soon as the amount of five thousand came out, everyone in the conference room exhaled in relief. Mr. Paramount, who was pretending to be dead on the ground, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I am willing to follow the footsteps of the Governor and the Commander to contribute to the country. I
Also subscribe for five thousand gold coins."
As soon as Paramount mentioned it, others immediately became extremely enthusiastic.
"I worked hard and subscribed for five thousand."
"I have less assets, but I have a lot of patriotic enthusiasm. I subscribe for three thousand."
"For two thousand, I decided to sell two shops in the city. It is my duty to contribute to the country."
The amount of people's subscriptions increased rapidly. This scene made Giris very happy and thought to himself: The officials of Merida City are still very reasonable. Look how patriotic they are!
But compared with the smiling face of Giris, Governor Alfonso's face was as dark as water and cold. He said lightly: "When the enemy breaks into the city, your assets will be reduced to powder, and by then everything will be too late.
Now that the country is giving you a chance to repay it, how can you be stingy? Do you want to keep your assets to fund the enemy in the future? Add zero to everyone's subscription amount, otherwise you are weak, surrender, and a traitor. For traitors, just
The house should be ransacked!”
Bang..., bang!
Mr. Paramount, who had just subscribed most actively, fell to the ground again. This time he was foaming at the mouth and really fainted.
