367. Chapter 363 Decision and Waking Up and Sending

The strike in New Jincheng has begun to attract the attention of some higher-level figures.

In fact, it is difficult to accurately describe the changes this strike has brought to this country, because it is complex, functional, and has many influences on subsequent development.

If you have to find a metaphor that can barely describe this strike, then it is like constipation.

Yes, constipation where you can't pull out the shit.

At first, when people couldn't pull out the shit, they wouldn't look too nervous. It was just that they couldn't pull it out, it's not like they hadn't pulled it out before.

But as the time they couldn't pull it out continued to advance and lengthen.

Finally, the shit stuck in the anus began to affect the intestines. The intestines still accelerated peristalsis, but they didn't know that if they couldn't find the cause of constipation and accelerated peristalsis, it would only lead to worse consequences—

Faster peristalsis will also faster promote the intestinal mucosa to absorb the moisture of the stool, it will become drier, harder, and... bigger!

At this time, the governor's phone is like the body's natural response measures. He is uncomfortable and wants to start doing something.

"Sydney, when can you resume work?"

"I don't want to urge you to return to your post, but now the chaos in New Jincheng has spread within the Social Party. Not long ago, the senator called me and asked about some problems in New Jincheng."

"It is very important to the entire Federation, and we must ensure that it is under our control!"

The mayor is not so concerned about the meaning of the governor's words, "It is out of control, Your Excellency."

"We all know that the order of the city is already on the edge of danger, but we cannot pretend not to see these things just because there are some things you are unwilling to do and I am unwilling to do."

"I didn't do nothing, you see, I declared war on them, but what was the result?"

"The doctor said that if the bullet deviated by a few centimeters, it would take me to see God. This is the result I got. If you are always standing in a higher place and unwilling to dirty your boots, then let it slide into the abyss!"

After the seemingly ordinary conversation between the two people, there are some hidden demands. The governor frowned, "The state police will soon go to assist you."

The mayor took a deep breath, "What I need is not the state police, you understand what I mean."

"If you want to solve the chaos in New Jincheng as soon as possible, the state police are not enough!"

"There were several explosions yesterday, and the gangs have begun to use explosives. You let a group of state police come, they will only let the gangs brag about how many police officers they have killed!"

"Your Excellency, in this matter, the input and output are directly proportional!"

The governor had a headache. He knew what the mayor meant, "But doing so will have a bad impact. No one knows how people will evaluate us!"

If it is the governor's order, then the evaluation of him by the Social Party, including all walks of life, will decline.

A politician who uses armed forces to solve problems at every turn is definitely not a qualified politician. The federal people and the federal political environment are very strange.

They have been maintaining a very distorted and strange social operation mechanism, artificially setting many obstacles, just like procedural justice.

Sometimes you know clearly that a person is a criminal, or everyone knows that he is a criminal, including himself, he did not deny it, but you just can't get the evidence to accuse him, letting him avoid legal punishment.

There are many such people. After committing a few crimes, they don't commit crimes anymore. People are helpless against this type of criminal.

Clearly, it is a problem that can be solved simply, but they insist on making things difficult for themselves.

The mayor didn't speak. Not speaking is the most powerful language. The governor thought for a long time, "I will communicate with that side. In addition, you have to keep an eye on the strike problem."

"I don't want to solve one problem and have another problem appear."

Between hemorrhoids and constipation, the governor chose to solve hemorrhoids first, not constipation.

The governor hung up the phone. In fact, until now, neither he nor the mayor thinks that the strike is a problem, it is nothing more than some compromises.

When he gets this city, the port management company, and the Bay Area, they will either choose to stand on his side or be smashed directly by his chariot!

The mayor reached out and pressed a button, hung up the phone, and looked at the secretary, "Soon this city will usher in peace!"

Mobilizing the militia is not a simple matter, and it also needs to be confirmed by the state legislature.

In fact, the governor and the state legislature are like a reduced version of the Presidential Palace and Congress. Although the president has the highest military power, he needs to bear a lot of responsibility, and any long-term military action must be voted and passed by Congress before it can be implemented.

For example, sending troops abroad, whether it is to help others or hurt others, as long as it exceeds one month, it must be agreed by Congress.

Otherwise, Congress has the right to interrupt these military actions.

The governor is the same. If he wants to mobilize the militia into the city, he must get the support of the legislature.

And there are not only Social Party members, Liberal Party, and Federal Party members in the legislature.

It is very simple to persuade Social Party members, just make a phone call to them, but it may be troublesome to persuade Liberal Party and Federal Party members.

But these are the governor's problems and have nothing to do with the mayor.

In this call, the secretary felt that the mayor also mastered the initiative of this matter in front of the governor, just because of that bullet!

It's just that it's hard for him to make such a decision. He doesn't have the courage to face this shot!

Perhaps this is the gap between him and the mayor!

In the evening, the board of directors of the port management company announced the temporary removal of the port management company manager's position and waited for subsequent processing, but there was no subsequent processing.

Just constantly calling on everyone to maintain a peaceful mood and prepare to negotiate with the company.

It seems that they are actively promoting, but in fact, no substantive changes have been made.

Perhaps the manager himself figured out a little bit of flavor. He ran to the board of directors and wanted to see the chairman of the board, but it is said that he was beaten up and then thrown out.

For several days, the city maintained a chaotic and stable state. Chaotic refers to the bad situation it is currently in.

Citizens of the whole city have seen street killings more than once, and have heard explosions more than once.

During this period, there is good news, that is, Mo Lisi has truly awakened in the true sense.

Before, he also woke up, but that kind of waking was not a real waking up, but a feeling of being confused, and the time of being awake was very short, maybe a few minutes later, and then fell into a coma again.

The doctor said this is a natural mechanism of the human body. They don't know the reason, but they know that this is a good thing.

Because only by showing these characteristics can it be explained that he is recovering.

Now, he has truly awakened.

The room is full of people. Lanse and his group are in the innermost part, and some others with insufficient status are in the corridor outside, as well as in the hospital yard.

"How do you feel?" Lanse asked.

Mo Lisi licked his lips. He was refused to eat any food. Now the hospital has equipped him with a nutrient solution, injected directly into the blood, rather than by eating.

He had part of his stomach, two sections of intestines, his liver, and a kidney removed. Now eating will cause a huge physiological burden on him. Only after the body "recovers" can he gradually restore part of his previous living habits.

"Thirsty, and hungry!"

"The doctor said you will feel thirsty and hungry, but these are your body deceiving you. You don't need these now."

"When you recover, we will treat you to a big meal."

Mo Lisi tilted his head and looked at Enio by the bed, "What about him?"

So this has led to the fact that police everywhere don't like to take the initiative to manage things. After all, when you are about to have results, the other side asks you to let go, which is equivalent to all the previous efforts being in vain.

Enio touched his forehead, "I'm sorry, they couldn't rescue him."

Mo Lisi did not show that kind of intense pain. He seemed to accept this matter very plainly.

Even he sneered, but immediately after, a painful expression appeared on his face.

A sneer will trigger many muscle group changes, and will also cause changes in abdominal pressure. In an instant, his eyes widened, it was too painful!

Lanse did not let the hospital use those special painkillers, but chose some with low dependence.

If he was saved but he became someone who needed to rely on painkillers to live normally..., no, when he started to rely on painkillers, his life was not normal!

So although it is very painful, it is good for his future.

Those non-special fast painkillers cannot minimize people's pain. Perhaps this is the price of human interference in natural affairs.

If you want to get more comfort, you need to pay more tangible and intangible things.

"This guy... is always indifferent to people."

"Enio knows."

Enio nodded, "Yes, Uncle... is very free and easy."

Mo Lisi glanced at him, "You don't need to say anything nice, he is already gone."

"I have thought about many things. Between me and him, sometimes I will have some fantasies." "There are good ones, bad ones, many."

"But I never thought that he would throw himself on me to save me."

His eye sockets are very red. It is not clear whether it is because of the body, or because of these words, and his emotions.

"I should feel happy, because he suddenly became like a normal person."

"But I can't be happy, because the price is too heavy!"

He closed his eyes and lay for a while, "Did we win?"

Lanse walked to the bedside and clenched his hand, "We are about to win!"

"Do you need me to leave them to you?"

Mo Lisi shook his head, "Just send them away directly."

Lanse let go of his hand, "You have to cheer up, we still need you!"

In fact, Mo Lisi also knows his current situation, and his brain is a bit messy, "I don't know, but I will get better first..."

He is not suitable to maintain this state for too long. The doctor soon asked Lanse and the others to leave, and they will continue to let Mo Lisi fall asleep.

Once asleep, the impact of pain on him will be reduced, and sleep can also better promote his body's self-repair.

Walking out of the hospital, Lanse gave a few instructions to those who stayed here to take care of Mo Lisi, including watching him and not letting him be alone for a long time.

After suffering such a big blow, if he can't think about it for a while, maybe he will do some extreme things.

Getting into the car, Lanse asked, "When will Galio fall?"

Enio closed the car door while turning the key, and the car started buzzing, "Tonight!"

Lanse was looking forward to it, looking forward to the day he met the Professor.

Galio is also looking forward to it now. This is his first time in New Jincheng. If it weren't for the fact that he brought a few more people, he could have arrived during the day, or even earlier.

Before entering the city, he could faintly see the outline of the city in the dark, which was indeed much larger than Fides City.

"The air here smells so good, it doesn't look like the air in Fides at all, it's all the smell of machine oil!"

Galio took a deep breath and almost said "the air here is so sweet", but in terms of air quality, the air quality here is indeed much better than Fides.

As a heavy industrial city, Fides City has three things floating in the air—

Machine oil, metal dust, and dust after coal combustion.

But here, the air is much better.

The wind blows from the sea, and no dirty air can stay here for too long, especially now that it is summer.

After every rain, the whole world will become brand new. This is the life of people by the sea.

He hasn't seen the sea a few times, and he is full of longing and curiosity about everything here.

The minibus kidnapped by him did not enter the city, but stayed in the suburbs. After their three cars entered the city, they found a public telephone booth and made a call to Lanse.

Not long after, Enio drove to meet them, and then forty minutes later, they saw Lanse.

"You are Mr. Lanse!", Galio looked at Lanse with some disbelief.

Although he had heard that Lanse was very young, he thought it was just a description of Enio. In his heart, Lanse might be thirty years old.

Thirty years old, being able to become a powerful family leader, can indeed be said to be young and capable!

But after seeing Lanse with his own eyes, he realized that Enio's performance was not exaggerated, because Lanse was really young.

Lanse shook hands with him, and then let him come to the office.

"I'm sorry I can't hold a grand welcome party for you now, you should have heard."

Galio didn't lie, "I was startled when I entered the city. To be honest, it's more chaotic than Fides. I thought New Jincheng would be very orderly!"

Lanse invited him to sit down, "Some things have happened recently, it won't end soon."

He paused and looked at Galio, "Mr. Galio, you have helped me a lot, I am very grateful to you."

"And this time it's troublesome for you to run a trip yourself, I feel a bit sorry."

Galio laughed and waved his hands again and again, "Actually, I took the initiative to come here myself. I have always wanted to visit you, Mr. Lanse."

"It is a great thing for all of us Imperial people that an important figure can emerge in this field!"

"Tell a true story, the councilor in the city was still blackmailing me before I came."

"But when he heard that I was coming to New Jincheng to see you, his attitude softened a lot!"

Although these expressions are clearly exaggerated, they are not too outrageous.

Big figures in big cities have innate suppression of big figures in small cities, not to mention that the mayor of this city is Sydney, a person who also left his "myth" in Fides.

It is hard not to compare the "big figure" in Galio's mouth with Sydney.

Then it is conceivable that Councilor Philip would change his strategy, so his decision was indeed because of Lanse.

For someone who has been flattering him, it is also difficult for Lanse to have any bad feelings.

"We all come from the same place, unity is very important."

"Only by holding together can we not be bullied by others."

"Whether it is family or anything else, I think so and do so."

"Galio, we are equal and friends, so there is no need to use honorifics, which will make me a little uncomfortable."

Galio smiled. In fact, he is not used to it either, but Lanse can stand firm here, so he must not be an ordinary person. Being polite is never wrong.

He knew it was time to talk about things Lanse was interested in, "I brought all the Professor's family, as well as the families of several senior cadres. I left them outside the city."

"I don't know the situation inside, I can let my people take you there."

Lanse glanced at Enio, signaling him to get people back, and then looked at Galio, "I don't know how to thank you, Galio."

He pondered for a moment, "Do you have a great demand for alcohol?"

Galio's heart was beating a little. Although his side is not as prosperous as New Jincheng, people's income may not be lower, and even the income of workers in some factories is more than here!

The welfare and treatment of heavy industrial workers have always been slightly better, otherwise, they really can't find anyone to do it!

The free and loose growth of federal people makes them very repulsive to low wages but more heavy physical labor.

People often only notice the higher average wages in these industries, ignoring what needs to be paid to get these wages.

The more tired you are, whether it is mental or physical, the more you need a way to eliminate fatigue.

Alcohol is a good choice.

Alcohol made Galio a lot of money, "Indeed, Mr. Lanse."

"In addition to visiting you this time, I also hope that both of us can be more stable in the trade of alcoholic beverages."

Lanse nodded, "No problem, we will have a large amount of low-alcohol wine coming out in the near future. These wines are not expensive and are very suitable for low- and middle-end consumer groups."

He is talking about the wine produced in the winery, ten or twenty degrees.

It is precisely because the degree is low that it often makes people drink too much!

Galio had no reason to refuse Lanse's proposal. Later, Lanse asked about some situations in Fides City and some situations of Imperial workers.

Perhaps the pressure of work is too great. In Galio's mouth, the contradiction between local workers and immigrant workers in Fides City is not prominent.

The two sides get along very harmoniously, but capitalists clearly have some discrimination against Imperial immigrant workers. They give lower wages, generally two or three dollars lower.

After chatting for a while, Lanse arranged for Galio and his party to rest. It was too late, and the rest waited!
