Chapter 384 War Bond Issuance
Early in the morning, the gate of the bank was crowded with people.
Merchants, mercenaries, hunters, and even scavengers, all gathered at the door of the bank. People were in high spirits, with excitement on their faces. Under the guidance of the security forces in the uniform of the First Legion, people lined up in a long line, waiting eagerly for the opening of the Bank of the Sixth Street at eight o'clock.
If you want to ask why people are so enthusiastic, you have to start with the wonderful speech yesterday.
"...Everyone, in the past twenty-one years, we have proved our prosperity with our own hands." Standing on the podium in front of the Parliament Building, Zhao Chenwu spoke impassionedly to the audience All the people shouted loudly.
"Whether it was being abandoned at the beginning, or facing the alien tide alone, or the bacteria that spread to the whole city last year, or that sad betrayal..." He slowly lowered his tone.
"But we won!" He clenched his fists, raised his voice, and said in a provocative tone, "We use the new order to raise the middle finger to the powerful and powerful who have abandoned us, we use high walls and guns We stopped the zombies and alien species, we used the tracks of the tanks to wipe out the source of the plague that spread to the whole city, and we used the charter of the parliament to punish the traitors!"
"And then we ushered in the light." He slowed down his tone again, and cast his solemn and proud eyes on the crowd.
The audience in the audience held their breath.
"But while we were singing the praises of prosperity, a sad thing happened."
"I believe most people have already heard of it. The compatriots in Jiashi, the warriors who resisted the invasion of mutants, they finally fell."
"And now, the savages in the west are waving mallets and shouting at us: Look, we captured your little neighbor and cut off his balls. Afraid? Haha. We will soon will do the same to you! Now, tell me, can you bear this insult! Can you bear it!"
There was no response from the audience. But Zhao Chenwu could tell from the faces of the people in the front row that they couldn't.
Take a deep breath. He spoke again.
"It's too small, compared to the whole wasteland, it's not even a grain. But we have an obligation to care for it to germinate, care for it to illuminate a wider place. Yes, it is what we have seen Light, the light called order! And the first step to accomplish this great cause is to lubricate the tracks of our tanks with the internal organs of those bastards! Then, liberate our compatriots!" His voice changed from low to high. Completely ignited the emotions of all bystanders.
"Long live Sixth Street!" the crowd chanted in response to his roar.
"Long live!"
"Fuck those bastard eunuchs to death!"
"..."
Raising his hand to signal people to be quiet, he turned the manuscript to the next page.
"Now, on behalf of the council, I read the resolution that Block Six will declare war on the mutants entrenched in Block Seven!"
After speaking, he looked at Chu Nan who was sitting on the side seat. As an executive officer, Chu Nan represented the attitude of the military government.
According to the charter of the sixth block, the military government has a veto power on bills considered by the parliament. Of course, this is just a scene, after all, this impassioned speech itself was arranged by the military government.
Chu Nan stood up and looked at the audience with a solemn expression.
"license."
Deafening cheers erupted from the audience.
In this boiling public opinion. Zhao Chenwu took advantage of the heat to read out the resolutions on the issuance of war bonds and the conscription bill.
This performance went much smoother than expected.
…
There was darkness outside the window, and the queue lined up from the gate of the bank to the gate of the parliament building.
This is the parliament building. The bank is located next to this building.
Chu Nan and Zhao Chenwu were sitting at the tea table by the window. There was a color-printed newspaper in front of their table, and the impassioned speech was printed on the cover.
Newspapers only emerged some time ago. People are gossip animals. In the era without the Internet, newspapers can just meet people's needs in this regard. In addition to occasionally publishing the resolutions of the Council of the Sixth Street, these newspapers usually also publish interesting survivors' deeds, experiences of hunting aliens, job hunting information or advertisements.
"The bank will open in 5 minutes." Zhao Chenwu narrowed his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall, and then looked out of the window again.
He doesn't need to line up with those ordinary people. As a big capitalist in Sixth Street, he had already bought his share before the public offering of bonds.
"It seems that people are full of enthusiasm for the war in four months." Chu Nan said with a smile.
It's eight o'clock. The service staff of the Parliament Building brought a basket of steaming steamed buns and two cups of freshly ground soybean milk to the two.
"No one is interested in war, but they won't have trouble with the shiny sub-crystal. Well, a hearty breakfast." Zhao Chenwu reached out to grab the bun and took a bite.
Lived here for almost 20 years. He knew exactly what people were cheering for yesterday. Not for the liberation of compatriots, but for the mercenary orders, arms orders, and jobs that the war will bring...
"That's right." Chu Nan said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the steamer.
The breakfast in the Capitol is provided free by the military government, and the food here has always been the best in the entire Sixth Street. The steamed stuffed buns stuffed with fresh meat and the hot soy milk are not too much to be called delicacies in this wasteland.
"How did you come up with the idea of using mutant steel to issue war bonds?" Swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhao Chenwu couldn't help asking as he watched the people flocking to the point of purchase outside the window.
"I got inspiration from the dividend system of your first expedition, and then made some small changes. For example, the steel sold in the sixth block was used as a guarantee for the dividend." Chu Nan chewed the food slowly, while Said in a chatty tone.
The sub-crystals brought by the previous expedition ignited the boilers of the factory, and this expedition will bring the raw materials needed for production.
"How much steel does the mutant have on hand?"
"According to the information fed back by the reconnaissance force, it is estimated that the C-shaped steel reserves are more than 200,000 tons."
"Sun, are they guarding an iron mine?" Zhao Chenwu couldn't help cursing.
These are all finished C-shaped steel, not iron ore that needs to be refined.
"It's not iron ore. According to reliable sources, it's an underground resource warehouse. It's a strategic reserve of materials. I just don't know how those materials got into the hands of those monsters. But it doesn't matter, the steel will be ours by this fall."
Outside the window, the queue has begun to move slowly. The bank opened its doors, and people took their ID cards and rushed towards the salesperson selling bonds as if they wanted to sharpen their heads.
Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Zhao Chenwu looked at Chu Nan and asked.
"Why don't you earn this sub-crystal yourself? Don't tell me he will be short of this money now."
What Zhao Chenwu said by him was naturally Jiang Chen.
The food trade will bring nearly one million sub-grains in profit every month. As the largest shareholder of the food business, Zhao Chenwu would rather believe that the bank will go bankrupt than that Jiang Chen will be short of sub-crystals.
"It's not enough to be short of money, but doesn't Mr. Zhao understand that if you want to dig up wheat, you have to plant the ears of wheat first?" Chu Nan said with a smile.
Zhao Chenwu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"It's really an honor for the Marshal to have such a vision."
"It's also my honor." Holding the soy milk cup in his hand, Chu Nan made a toast with a smile. (To be continued.)
