Chapter 1854: Benevolent

San Antonio, a temporary shelter in the city.
This is a block destroyed by artillery fire. The crater and the broken wall are continuous. The broken reinforced concrete is full of scars. And in this ruin, hundreds of people are busy working.
Bangbang's knocking sound continued in the containment area, and workers were pushing down the bombed building and filling the ground. Due to the lack of various mechanical equipment, many tasks must be completed manually.
Rows of simple houses are being constructed on the filled ground. These houses are all three-story structures, with only simple bedrooms, bathrooms, bathrooms and other ancillary facilities.
Several workers wearing helmets are wiring inside and outside the house. Most of these are wires, and a few are racks for wireless surveillance cameras.
Simon drove a pickup truck and patrolled the SWAT team. The area in front of him will meet the needs of about 2,000 people for temporary living, at least allowing many families who can only live in shacks to have a secure home.
"The Legion is really different from the Baath." Simon chatted with his partner.
"Yeah, it's really different." The co-pilot's partner is fully armed with long and short guns, but mentally lazy. Because the law and order in the city is much better now than in the past, there is no need for the special police to be highly nervous at all times.
When the gun ban was first issued, many people were extremely disgusted. People felt that there was no sense of security without guns, and citizens were forced to surrender their weapons. Most people have more than one or two firearms, even a dozen, and countless ammunition.
Simon has seen all kinds of powerful things in the process of collecting weapons. What is the length of the gun? Grenades, bazookas, and heavy machine guns are trivial. Some people even hide an 'Abrams' main battle tank in their backyard.
Fortunately, the police are now very manpowered, and the police who have undergone short training constantly sort out every corner of the city, and even use magnetic detectors to find all kinds of metal parts. In addition to clearing various shrapnel, there is also a large amount of unexploded ordnance and firearms.
At present, the Legion initially estimates that more than 20 million firearms have been seized, and the number of firearms is more than the population. Most of these weapons flowed out of unattended US military bases. There were a lot of weapons damaged due to poor maintenance, and there were a lot of usable weapons.
In order to prevent these weapons from escaping again, Zhou Qingfeng had to use an electrolytic furnace to destroy them. Because ammunition was often mixed in the weapons, several electrolytic furnaces were blown up and many people were killed.
Such a large-scale weapons collection has achieved amazing results. First of all, police officers like Simon feel that they are safe and their deterrence has increased. They don't need to worry about violent attacks when patrolling, they don't need to worry about stray bullets flying somewhere.
Everyone's spirit began to relax slowly, anxiety and panic disappeared. This is a rare thing since the last days. Sense of security is invisible and intangible, but it is a precious necessity in human life.
"X-ray machine, monitor, strict security." The co-pilot sighed, "I now understand why the chief of the army banned guns. This policy has made the city quiet. It's too quiet."
Without a firearm weapon that can easily kill people, ordinary people's courage will become smaller, and their aggression will naturally decline. There are no longer any gunshots in the city, and people are even a bit uncomfortable.
You know, every day in the city when Baath controls San Antonio, people die from various shootings. And now ..., a tabloid just founded in the city is propagating in a marvelous tone—miracles, and we have n’t been killed by a gun for a week.
No one died from the shooting not only because of the seizure of weapons, but also because the city began to have surveillance probes. With this gadget, the police work is much easier. Whenever something goes wrong, everyone applies to the police data center to play back the video on the radio as soon as possible.
Communication base stations all over the city will all happen in every corner of the police data center. There is a case now, and the police are too lazy to investigate. As long as the key factors such as the height, appearance, and clothing of the suspect are mastered, the intelligent AI will automatically find the suspect.
This is the benefit of combining Wasteland's more advanced artificial intelligence and rabbit security systems. Zhou Qingfeng even sold dozens of wasteland supercomputing and intelligent software to rabbits, which helped smooth the increasingly scary trade deficit.
Because the United States has always emphasized personal privacy, the government cannot afford to pay taxpayers' money for such systems. The media can also demonize comprehensive security surveillance and publicize that being monitored is like losing freedom.
Even Simon has always felt that such a powerful surveillance network is too scary, and living in it is like being stared at by countless eyes. But now that he has truly experienced the convenience of this network, he feels rather weak as a police officer.
When Simon's pickup was about to leave the containment area, he shouted into a shack, "Buffon, how are you today?"
A young man came out of the shack, trotting up to the pickup truck and saying, "Hello, Officer Simon, there is nothing today, very calm."
The young man named Buffon had a disability in his arm and could not do heavy work. In the past, people like him could only live on begging and stealing. No one would care about him. And if he fails the theft, it is likely that he will die because of a heavy blow.
Now he can get a job as an administrator of the Security Association, which makes Buffon overjoyed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In order to keep this job, he can fulfill all the tasks assigned by the municipal government with due diligence.
"Does anyone still keep guns in private?" Simon asked.
"I heard that there is a block in the west that is engaged in a black market for firearms. I've been inquiring about who is making troubles these two days?"
"Did anyone disrupt the surveillance network?"
"No, after you came to arrest a few saboteurs the last time, no one dared to tamper with the surveillance cameras. But I recently heard that someone wanted to sabotage by power failure, and I was staring at it."
"How many people still don't like monitoring the network?"
"Half to half. Some people like it, some don't like it. Generally, it doesn't matter how many people are growing."
After chatting with Buffon, telling him to stare at the saboteurs, Simon finally drove out of the containment area. He looked back at the area under construction and sighed: "In the past, this kind of containment area must have been dirty, messy, violent and disgusting."
"Hehehe ..." the co-pilot said cheerfully: "Because this place doesn't charge taxes, the government doesn't care. But now the rich and poor areas of the city are equally safe, we have to drive every day It's shaking here.
Those poor ghosts enjoyed the treatment of the rich without spending a penny, and it was unimaginable for them to build a house, provide them with cheap food, convenient transportation, and valuable safety guarantees. Even I felt that the Legion was really nice to the poor. "
"Yeah, yeah." Simon sighed. "So the poor are willing to go with the Legion, and the poor are the majority. Like the Buffon, if the Baath party comes back, he will definitely resist.
The Legion paid a huge price to capture the majority, and it could use them, and no one in the world could compete with them. "
This cat can be called-benevolent invincible!
