Chapter 1386
After a noisy night, the city of Merida ushered in a brand new dawn.
Although there are still a large number of military and police officers guarding the streets, the citizens ignore it and go out on the streets. Work, shopping, and are busy. The city with a population of more than 500,000 cannot stagnate. It needs to be mobility to be vibrant.
Similarly, a newspaper in Merida has triggered a craze. There is currently only one newspaper in the city, with limited layout, rough printing, and no publications from time to time. However, this newspaper is definitely the only channel for most citizens to obtain external information.
Today, this tabloid newspaper, which doesn't even have a name, published a thrilling news. The Governor was assassinated, but fortunately nothing happened.
After a night of searching and cleaning up many suspects involved in assassination, one of the suspects escaped. The former captain of the Merida City Gendarmerie Lula participated in the assassination of Governor Alfonso. He is now wanted by the whole city. Citizens with clues please report it enthusiastically.
Lula, the name that once ruled Merida by terror has disappeared in the minds of citizens for a long time. But now this name appears again, and it is still in the way of "wanted", causing a sensation in the whole city!
Lula was removed from office by Governor Alfonso but did not die. Although the citizens of Merida were a little regretful, they were already satisfied. They only hoped that the guy who kept arresting and murdering the citizens at will disappeared from his sight. And now he was actually "wanted"... hahahaha!
It's so satisfying!
The newspaper that only 5,000 copies were printed every day was spreading wildly. Everyone wanted to see the words on the newspaper with their own eyes and look at the portrait of Lula, which was stamped on the front page with the "suspect" stamped. Some people even ran to the Governor's Office with the newspaper to cheer and praise Governor Alfonso loudly.
In this hustle and bustle, Giris came out of the town hall with a trembling mood. He saw the crowds marching all over the streets, the pedestrians with a smile on their faces, and the portrait of Lula who was wanted in the newspaper.
"If these people knew that Lula was hiding in my town hall, they would probably tear me up?" Gilles was inexplicably panicked. He was a top student who graduated from a regular university. He wasted more than ten years and only did some chores, but no teacher taught him how to deal with the situation in front of him.
Walking out of the city hall, Giris drove to the Governor's Mansion. He received a notice from the Governor's Mansion early this morning that a meeting was to be held in the Governor's Mansion.
When he heard that he was going to the Governor's Mansion, Giris's heart was about to jump out of his throat. Last night, Alfonso called himself to ask about Lula's whereabouts. He was struggling for a long time... and the answer he gave was that he didn't know.
After saying this, Giris collapsed like a twitch, sweating all over, and felt like he was going to die in the next second. He had never thought that such a sentence would cause such a strong psychological reaction, and then he realized that subconsciously he actually felt that it was a huge mistake to contain Lula.
The next second, will the guards of the Governor's Office rush into the city hall to arrest him?
Giris was frightened in his office all night and suffered a lot. He waited until dawn but nothing happened, only the Governor's Office asked him to go to the meeting.
No matter what, Alfonso's order was to be implemented. Giris gritted his teeth and rushed to the Governor's Mansion, but what surprised him was that the atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was actually very peaceful. The high-ranking officials and nobles in the city were present together, and everyone greeted each other enthusiastically in the reception room and had a very happy chat.
After waiting for ten minutes, the old butler Martin walked into the living room and shouted, "Everyone, please stand up, Governor Alfonso is here."
As usual, the Governor came in as a sloppy person. A bunch of bureaucrats in the living room asked about the Governor's physical health and mental condition with concern, and his faces were about to be pleated with smiles.
His Excellency the Governor only waved his hand, sat in the top of the living room, and said straight to the point: "In view of the increasingly worse public security situation in the city and the increasingly tense war situation, I propose to expand the security army in the city and improve the equipment and training level."
As soon as he said this, Lieutenant Colonel Harding, the commander of the Incredible garrison in the city, immediately spoke seriously: "I fully agree with the proposal of Your Excellency the Governor. This is a very forward-looking and strategic proposal. We must enhance the city's armed forces and prepare for any conflicts that will occur in the future."
This was very righteous, but Giris was very strange when he heard it. The scale of the security army in Merida was already very large, and it was so huge. The city with a population of more than 500,000 has more than 10,000 troops, and one of the fifty people was a soldier. This proportion was too high!
The main members of the security army are Mexicans, and Giris has also seen this unit. This was originally a paramilitary unit engaged in police duties, but the training was quite good. The lazy Mexicans were trained to be somewhat iron-blooded, which is better than most of the troops in Mexico City.
The equipment is a bit poor.
The expansion of the army will put a lot of pressure on the economy, but at present, the Yucatan Peninsula is fighting, and the Moji formation is still a huge threat. In addition..., the Governor was assassinated. The boss was on the fire, who dared to say no?
Last night, the whole city was searched and assassinated the suspects to death and arrest them. Two or three hundred people disappeared from this world easily. Escape was useless, begging for mercy was useless, and showing their backstage was even more useless. Some people had a deep background and dared not offend easily, but they were still dead if they said they were dead?
When it was time to start, I didn't see anyone letting go of the Governor's knife.
Paramount, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, even offered: "I suggest allocating a special amount to strengthen the number and capacity of the Governor's Guard. After all, the safety of the Governor's Excellency is what all of us care about the most, and I pray to God every day."
A bunch of people in the conference room nodded repeatedly, but everyone looked at Paramount with contempt for this fence-skinned man who rushed to speak every time. His character was so bad!
This inverted situation gave Giris a sense of enlightenment. These people in front of him all bought war bonds, and there were a lot of them. Now Mexico City is coming to rob, and even assassinate Alfonso. If you want to protect the interests of war bonds, you must stand on the side of the governor.
At this time, who dared to touch Alfonso was fighting against these powerful people in Merida? It would be strange if they didn’t fight hard!
Giris even envied these bureaucrats in Merida. When others wanted to run towards Mexico City, the center of the regime, they had a strong core, a boss who dared to openly challenge the bureaucrats in the capital.
The Public Security Army and the Governor's Guard were expanded, investment was increased, and more preferential policies were formulated. These series of proposals for military preparations were immediately approved unanimously.
No one cares how much money it costs behind this, because the Governor solved this problem in one sentence. War bonds are used to do this.
Everyone seemed to wake up this time
Damn! After a while, it turned out that it was to build a war bond to enhance Governor Alfonso's own strength. Why is this man so smart? Others cried and shouted and sent money, and he took all the advantage!
After completing the first topic, Governor Alfonso said in a simple sentence, let the entire conference room silently talk about Lula. The reason why he was not caught last night must be that someone protected him, and this person was among us!
Chapter completed!
