Chapter 1386: Everything Under Control

After a noisy night, the city of Merida once again ushered in a brand new dawn.

Although there were still a large number of military and police personnel guarding the streets, the citizens turned a blind eye and went to the streets independently. Working, shopping, everyone is busy, a city with a population of more than half a million cannot be stagnant, it needs to flow to be alive.

At the same time, a newspaper in Merida caused an upsurge. There is currently only one newspaper in the city, with limited layout, crude printing, and lack of publications from time to time. But this newspaper is the only channel for most citizens to obtain information from the outside world.

Today, however, this tabloid, which doesn't even have a name, published a piece of explosive news—His Excellency the Governor was assassinated, but fortunately nothing happened.

After a night of search and arrest, many suspects involved in the assassination were cleared up, but one of the suspects escaped—the former Merida City Gendarmerie Captain Lula participated in the assassination of Governor Alfonso, and is now wanted by the whole city. Anyone with clues Members of the public are encouraged to report.

Lula, the name that once ruled Merida with terror, has been lost in the minds of the citizens for some time. But now this name appeared again, and it was still in the form of 'wanted', causing a sensation in the city!

Lula was resigned by Governor Alfonso but did not die. Although the citizens of Merida were a little regretful, they were already satisfied. They just want the guy who keeps arresting and mutilating citizens at will out of sight. And now he is actually 'wanted'..., hahahaha!

Very happy!

The newspaper, which prints only 5,000 copies a day, was circulated wildly. Everyone wanted to see the words on the newspaper with their own eyes, and take a look at the picture of Lula printed on the front page with the imprint of "suspect". Some people even ran to the Governor's Palace holding newspapers to cheer and praise Governor Alfonso loudly.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Giles came out of the city hall with a trembling mood. He saw the crowd parading all over the street, the passers-by who were smiling because of excitement, and also saw the wanted Lula's head printed in the newspaper.

"If these people know that Lula is hiding in my city hall, I'm afraid they will tear me apart?" Ji Ruisi was inexplicably flustered. He is a high-achieving student who graduated from a regular university. As a odd job, no teacher taught him how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Walking out of the city hall, Giles drove to the governor's mansion. Early this morning, he received a notification from the Governor's Mansion that a meeting was to be held in the Governor's Mansion.

Hearing that he was going to the Governor's Mansion, Ji Ruisi's heart jumped out of his throat. Last night Alfonso personally called to ask about Lula's whereabouts. He struggled for a long time... and the answer he gave was that he didn't know.

After saying this, Giles became limp as if his muscles were cramped, sweating profusely, and felt that he was going to die in the next second. He never thought that such a sentence would cause such a strong psychological reaction, and only then did he realize that in his subconscious mind, it was a huge mistake to take Lula in.

In the next second, will the guards of the governor's mansion rush into the city hall to arrest him?

Giles spent the night in his office terrified and suffering. When it was dawn, nothing happened, only a phone call from the Governor's Mansion asking him to go to a meeting.

In any case, Alfonso's order must be carried out. Giles bit the bullet and rushed to the Governor's Mansion, but what surprised him was that the atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was actually very peaceful. The city's high-ranking officials and dignitaries all came to the scene, and everyone greeted each other eagerly in the living room, chatting very happily.

After waiting for ten minutes, the old butler Martin walked into the living room and shouted: "Everyone, please stand up, Governor Alfonso is here."

As usual, Your Excellency the Governor walked in with a carefree appearance. A bunch of bureaucrats in the reception room asked the Governor about his physical health and mental condition with concern, and all the smiling faces were wrinkled.

His Excellency the governor only waved his hand, sat at the top of the living room, and said straight to the point: "In view of the worsening security situation in the city and the increasingly tense war situation,

I propose to expand the security forces in the city and improve their equipment and training. "

As soon as he said this, Lieutenant Colonel Harding, the commander of the Enclave garrison in the city, immediately spoke seriously: "I completely agree with the proposal of the Governor. This is a very forward-looking and strategic proposal. We must upgrade the city's armed forces, Prepare to resist any future conflict."

This was a dignified statement, but Gilris was very surprised when he heard it. The size of the Security Force in Merida City is already very large, it is too big to be ridiculous. A city with a population of more than 500,000 has more than 10,000 garrisons, and one out of fifty people is a soldier. This ratio is too high!

The main members of the security forces are all Mexicans, and Giles has also seen this force. This was originally a paramilitary force engaged in police duties, but it was trained quite well, and the lazy Mexicans were trained to be somewhat iron-blooded, which was better than most of the troops in Mexico City.

It's just that the equipment is poor.

The expansion of the military will put a lot of pressure on the economy, but the Yucatan Peninsula is currently fighting, and the Mexican Liberation Army is still a huge threat. In addition... His Excellency the Governor was actually assassinated. The boss is on fire, who dares to say no?

Last night, the whole city searched and arrested the assassination suspects. Two or three hundred people disappeared from this world so easily. It's useless to run away, it's useless to beg for mercy, and it's even more useless to show your background. Some people have such a deep background that people dare not easily offend them, but don't they just die if they die?

When it was time to strike, no one was spared by His Excellency the Governor's knife.

Paramount, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, even offered to propose: "I suggest that a special fund be allocated to strengthen the number and capabilities of the governor's guard. After all, the safety of the governor is the most important thing for all of us. Praying to God."

A bunch of people in the meeting room nodded repeatedly, but everyone looked at Paramount with contempt - this fool always rushes to talk, his character is too bad!

This one-sided situation gave Gilris a sense of clarity. These people in front of them all bought war bonds, and there were quite a few of them. Now Mexico City is going to come and grab it, even at the expense of assassinating Alfonso. If you want to keep the interests of the war bond, you must stand on the side of the governor.

At this time, whoever dares to touch Alfonso is against these dignitaries in Merida? It's no wonder they didn't work hard!

Thinking about this, Giles even envied these bureaucrats in Merida. When others wanted to run towards Mexico City, the center of the regime, they had a strong core, a boss who dared to openly challenge the bureaucracy in the capital.

Expand the security force and the governor's guard, increase investment, and formulate more preferential policies. These series of proposals for arming were immediately passed unanimously.

No one cared how much it cost behind it, because the governor solved the problem with one sentence - that's what the war bonds are for.

Everyone seems to wake up now

Nima! After tossing around, it turned out that the purpose of setting up the war bond was to enhance Governor Alfonso's own strength—how could this man be so smart? Others were crying and shouting to send money over, and he took all the advantages!

After completing the first topic, Governor Alfonso made a simple sentence, making the entire conference room silent—let’s talk about Lula. The reason why he was not caught last night must be that someone sheltered him, and this person is among us!

Ji Rui's face turned pale immediately, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted—it's over, is this going to punish me?
