Chapter 386 Threaten the people to respect themselves!
"Brother Yun? What's going on with the soldiers out there? Why are they making so much noise? I heard they're wearing gear?"
"Yeah, Brother Yun, something's not right! Are these people going to raid our gathering place?"
After the armored infantry company was dispatched, the entire gathering place calmed down again and returned to a peaceful and tranquil state.
However, in a warehouse near the gate of the Ye'an gathering place, a feeling of panic was rising among the five leaders of the gathering place.
They are the suspected criminal leaders of the gathering place against whom Li Kun took coercive measures!
The gathering places represented by these five leaders are ranked very high in strength in Ye'an New District, especially Yun Huxian, who is the leader. The Manhu gathering place led by him is the strongest among the survivors in the entire Ye'an New District!
This gathering place built on the Yunman Lake Wetland Park accommodates more survivors than the Ye'an gathering place, almost 40,000 people!
The main reason why they dare to accommodate so many people is the good terrain of the Manhu settlement. It is located in a remote area and there is a lot of arable land around it, so naturally the more survivors they can accommodate, the better!
Because as long as every survivor is still able to work, he or she can go to the fields to create benefits for the gathering place!
As long as they can survive this winter and wait until the next year's grain harvest, the Manhu settlement will be able to completely break free from the food control of the Ye'an settlement!
It can even resell food to the Ye'an gathering place through its own continuous food production!
According to Yun Huxian's plan, not only can they resell the grains, but they can even use their own huge grain production capacity as a bargaining chip, bypass the Ye'an gathering place, connect directly with the army, and gain more benefits through resource exchange!
For example, the right to authorize the bearing of weapons, the power to establish armed guards, etc.!
Therefore, according to Yun Huxian’s plan, the militia equipment must be exposed after the food production capacity is restored!
Because this way you will have enough bargaining capital!
In Yun Huxian's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. It is the end of the world, and the right to armed self-defense is not a taboo!
The people above are not stupid. It’s fine if they don’t have the ability to station troops to protect the survivors, but they can’t forbid them from defending themselves, right?
Otherwise, what’s the difference between this and being eaten by zombies and not being allowed to fight back?
However, the prerequisite for all this is to demonstrate sufficient value first!
While the army was stationed in Ye'an New District, it also firmly controlled the food supply. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the army had already designated Ye'an New District as its sphere of influence.
Therefore, before you have the strength to build a hard-core army, abiding by military rules is your best option!
After all, Yun Huxian didn't think that he could confront the army just by finding a militia arsenal and gathering a bunch of rabble!
The nine-character mantra of "build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne" is engraved in the bones of every Zhou citizen, and it is exactly what Yun Huxian is practicing!
I have to say that Yun Huxian’s idea is very good. If nothing unexpected happens, things may really develop according to his ideas!
After all, Gu Chengyuan’s plan for Ye’an New District itself was no plan at all.
In Gu Chengyuan’s mind, Ye’an New District is positioned as a free land where survivors can develop freely!
It is like a huge petri dish where individuals or groups can freely develop and collide, explore and practice their own doomsday path and organizational system!
As long as you don’t act against humanity and don’t attack the Ye’an gathering place, if you have the ability, you can ascend the throne and become emperor!
Gu Chengyuan is quite tolerant of the experimental area!
The many survivor forces in Ye'an New District are like children playing house in a theme park, and Gu Chengyuan is the guardian watching from the sidelines.
As long as there is a need, it only takes a word to knock down, stop, and reshuffle...
It's fine if you're obedient, but if you dare to resist, you'll have to taste Gu Chengyuan's fatherly iron fist formed by a torrent of steel!
..
But reality is often beyond human control!
Yun Huxian couldn't control his crotch and got carried away by the fact that he opened his mouth close to his wife's face, causing the militia's arsenal to be exposed in advance!
This will cost you your life!
Although many things have the same steps, if the order in which they occur is different, the results will definitely be completely different!
Just like getting pregnant before having sex and getting pregnant after having sex, can they be the same?
One is a free father, the other is a real father...
To put it bluntly, with the value currently demonstrated by the Manhu gathering place, the water in the militia’s arsenal is still too deep for them to grasp at all!
At the same time, Yun Huxian also touched upon a principle issue, that is, he must not lose control!
Things like the Militia Armory are completely blind boxes and can be big or small!
A small one might only have enough weapons and equipment for a battalion or company, but a large one is hard to say, it might even be enough for a regiment or a division!
It is not impossible that there will even be army group or theater-level reserve depots, but the probability of this happening is very small.
Such a huge amount of weapons and equipment would undoubtedly be a disaster if it were only in the hands of ordinary survivors instead of in the hands of Gu Chengyuan, who truly represented civilization!
After all, the weapons in the militia's arsenal are just outdated, not broken!
You should know that many of Zhou Bang’s guns that have been retired for decades are still very popular in some third world countries!
These retired weapons can also fire bullets and artillery shells. Compared with advanced weapons, their only weaknesses are operability or stability. No matter how elite the soldiers under Gu Chengyuan are, they will die if they are hit!
Moreover, if such a huge amount of weapons flow into the survivors in an disorderly manner, the living environment will undoubtedly deteriorate further!
Not all people are human, and the damage caused by committing evil with a gun and committing evil with a weapon is not on the same level!
This is also the reason why Li Kun kept a close eye on the news about the militia database and never forgot about it!
...
However, Yun Huxian and others did not understand these principles. If they understood, they would not have been arrested and would still be stubborn.
"Impossible! The army is an official force, and everything must be done under a pretext. Without solid evidence, the other party will not act rashly!"
"You know, each of our gathering places houses a large number of survivors. If we accidentally create trouble, how many people will die?"
"Although this Li is skeptical, he would never dare to gamble with his future!"
"If anything goes wrong, he will be the first one to be removed from the team!" A thin, sinister middle-aged man analyzed with certainty.
He was in the clothing business before the end of the world, and he understood the mentality of Zhou officials too well. They would always subconsciously consider the overall situation.
Just like him, the garment factory he opened had many problems. Tax evasion and labor disputes abounded. It could be said to be quite rotten. Once investigated, one would find the truth!
But why did no one come to investigate him after several workers reported him?
For this reason, many local people spread the rumor that he had powerful connections and was in cahoots with local officials!
But little do they know that their greatest relationship is not with the officials, but with the people!
The more than 500 employees in his factory were all recruited from local rural unemployed people, and even a group of disabled people who would not affect production were specially recruited!
It can be said that he is wearing a full set of anti-armor!
Come check!
If I close down or suspend business for restructuring, who will be responsible for the jobs of more than 500 people and the livelihoods of more than 500 families?
Let's see if it's worth it to take away the jobs of hundreds of families just for those few people!
This is the real-life version of the trolley dilemma, an open conspiracy!
This is a common trick used by many industrial enterprises. It is not high-end, but it is definitely effective!
Because the so-called justice cannot fill the stomachs of a large number of unemployed workers. They also have children and elderly people to support, and they also have mortgages to pay...
.....
Therefore, it is precisely because of the confidence brought by relying on the people to respect themselves that they still maintain an optimistic attitude even when they realize that something is wrong.
He was even thinking about how to contact his confidants in the gathering place and ask them to do something to put pressure on Li Kun to release him and others!
Better make things bigger!
Let him lose his job and take responsibility, or at worst be transferred!
...
The courage to come up with this idea was not given by Fish Leong, but by Gu Chengyuan!
The last time he filed a complaint, Li Kun was reprimanded, which gave them a wrong signal, thinking that the leaders of this army also abide by rules and laws!
As the saying goes, a gentleman aims at the right method!
Since the army still abides by the rules, its deterrent effect will be greatly reduced, and there will be more room for actual operation!
...
hiss~
"I always feel something is wrong? Why do I feel so uneasy..."
Although past experience had always told Yun Huxian that this was the right thing to do, he always felt something was wrong, and it seemed as if his heart was stepping on air every time it beat.
Also, it's a bit late...
Tonight's all night to pay off debts...
