Chapter 1369 Desperate for Money

Governor Alfonso showed up again, and the city of Merida was not disturbed. Although I heard that the Aurora Legion is very ruthless, the boss did not panic, and the people below naturally calmed down.

The next day, there was a town hall meeting.

Giris Diago, who had just been appointed by the Presidential Palace, took office and became the commander-in-chief of the front line. It's just that this empty commander is not even a rubber stamp for the time being. He called a meeting of the bureaucrats in the city and asked Alfonso's cousin to come forward to get everyone together.

Ji Ruisi is also very savvy, he sat in the middle of the meeting room but took the initiative to ask his cousin to say a few words first. And Governor Alfonso also did his part, grabbed the microphone, coughed twice in a heavy tone, and said, "Gentlemen, the current situation is very serious!"

As soon as the boss opened his mouth, the big shots in Merida City on the 20th and 30th below immediately sat upright, with serious faces—no matter what the boss said, face is always given!

Governor Alfonso continued: "At present, the Aurora Legion has invaded our territory and has destroyed Cancun, which is less than 300 kilometers away from us. The cruelty of the enemy is beyond imagination. We can take a look at the tragedy of Cancun."

The people in the Governor's Palace used virtual projections to display a series of photos in the meeting room of the city hall, all of which were scenes after Cancun was smashed by more than a hundred M-7s. There was a sound of breathing in the meeting room immediately, because the picture was too miserable.

Walls collapsed, houses collapsed, these words are not enough to describe the tragedy of Cancun. Huge bomb craters can be seen everywhere in the city, the ground is like a moon crater, and a large number of corpses can be seen in various building ruins. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell on earth.

Commander Giles just escaped from Cancun, and looking at the current situation in Cancun, he couldn't help sighing: "The strength of the Aurora Legion far exceeds our estimate. The current situation is indeed very serious."

"I suggest that everyone observe a minute of silence for the victims in Cancun." Governor Alfonso bowed his head and closed his eyes after speaking.

Everyone else followed suit, and the atmosphere was sad.

I don't know if a minute has passed. Anyway, the senior management of Merida, who was immersed in grief, suddenly heard a sentence, "Next, let's talk about the issue of issuing war bonds."

Hey……? One sentence pulled everyone's minds back from their grief. Everyone stared blankly at His Excellency the governor sitting at the head, and each of them began to tease Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

"Do you really want to engage in war bonds?"

"Who is this bond going to be sold to?"

"I suddenly have a bad feeling."

It's not easy for everyone to discuss on the spot, but twenty or thirty pairs of eyes flicked back and forth, revealing everyone's thoughts. However, His Excellency the Governor turned a blind eye and continued: "Because the situation is severe, we must fight even more.

We must not lose our dignity just because the enemy is strong. There is no distinction between north and south, and people, regardless of age, all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, all because of the determination to sacrifice everything! "

As soon as these words were said, there was a murmur in the entire meeting room. Everyone couldn't help looking at their governor with a dumbfounded expression. Even Commander Giles seemed to have never seen his cousin before, and he couldn't imagine that he would say such a thing.

A group of people in the conference room had the same sentence in their minds - what is the determination to sacrifice everything? Boss, are you serious?

Yesterday you came back like a libertine, saying that the wine in Havana is good and the girl sleeps well. It is wrong to transform into a heroic soul of the nation full of righteousness today!

But in response to everyone's confusion, Governor Alfonso slapped the table suddenly, and Duang shouted: "Facing the ferocious enemy, we must give up all illusions, be mentally prepared, and think of the worst situation in the battle. We should consider fighting early, fighting big, and fighting nuclear war."

Bang dang..., snap!

Mr. Paramount, the chairman of the Merida City Chamber of Commerce, slipped and sat down on the ground. Everyone saw that he was already pale and frightened.

Even though the others didn't sit on the ground, they were already crying in their hearts—boss, you don't have to scare us like this.

We can even surrender. What is the most important word in walking the rivers and lakes? Life! There is no need to fight to the death with the enemy!

Giles also felt that his cousin was too pessimistic about the situation, and he couldn't help but want to intervene, but Governor Alfonso shouted again: "You have to understand, if you seek peace through struggle, you will find peace." If you seek peace through compromise, peace will perish.

I will issue an order now. From now on, no matter whoever dares to surrender and flee, they are all traitors to our country and nation, and they will be killed without mercy! "

Bang dang..., snap!

Several people sat down on the ground, and Mr. Paramount, who just got up, simply passed out, and his personnel were unknown. While the rest of the people had goosebumps under the murderous eyes of His Excellency the Governor, and their hearts were chilling.

After finishing the ruthless words, Governor Alfonso eased his tone again, and continued: "Of course, you are all elites of my government, and I have no intention of letting you go to the battlefield in person.

Never give up peace until it reaches a period of fundamental despair. Sacrifice is not at the last moment, never sacrifice lightly. What we have to do now is to work together to tide over the difficulties.

From the current point of view, our most important task is to prepare for war. But with war funding from Mexico City so limited and Enclave aid out of reach, we've got to save ourselves.

To fight, you need to build an army, and to build an army, you need money, and the cost is huge. So I decided to issue war bonds to raise funds, endorse our country's credit, and use the war indemnity after defeating the Aurora Legion as income in the future. Everyone is welcome to buy enthusiastically. "

Pfft... After saying such a long paragraph of cruel words, you, the emotional boss, are here to ask for money!

A bunch of bureaucrats in the conference hall suddenly had bitter faces, all of them with painful expressions. In the face of war, they really would rather surrender than pay. Yesterday I felt that Giles was here to deceive people, but now it seems that His Excellency the Commander is very reasonable, and His Excellency the Governor is the most deceitful!

Now that the situation is clear, everyone's eyes have shifted from the face of His Excellency the Governor to that of the Commander. Giris, whose heart was beating wildly just now, suddenly felt a sense of being supported by others, as if he could become the master of Merida as long as he nodded and coughed.

But Giles took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am very supportive of Governor Alfonso's idea. I don't have much assets, but I am willing to subscribe for a war bond of five thousand gold coins."

As soon as the amount of 5,000 was paid out, everyone in the conference room let out a sigh of relief. Mr. Paramount, who was pretending to be dead on the ground, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I am willing to follow in the footsteps of the governor and commander to contribute to the country, and I also subscribe for five thousand gold coins."

As soon as Paramount said it, the others immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

"I will do my best and subscribe for 5,000."

"I have less assets, but I have a lot of patriotic enthusiasm. I will subscribe for three thousand."

"Two thousand, I decided to sell two shops in the city. It is my duty to contribute to the country."

The number of people subscribed increased rapidly. This scene made Ji Ruisi very happy. He thought to himself: The officials in Merida City are still very reasonable. Look at how patriotic they are!

It's just that compared with Giles' smiling face, Governor Alfonso's face is as sinking as water, and his face is frosty. He said lightly: "When the enemy invades the city, your assets will be reduced to powder, and then it will be too late.

Now the country gives you a chance to repay it, how can you be stingy? Do you want to keep your assets and invest in the enemy in the future? Add zero to everyone's subscription amount, otherwise it is weakness, surrender, and traitor. For the traitor, the house should be ransacked! "

Bang dang..., snap!

Mr. Paramount, who had just subscribed the most actively, fell to the ground again. This time he was foaming at the mouth and really passed out.
