Chapter 1849 The 'Butt' Problem
Simon stood in front of the bulletin board of the city government, feeling extremely conflicted. His two-meter bulk blocked the sight of many people behind him and attracted a lot of attention. Others were pointing at his back and talking in low voices.
Simon knows what people are talking about because he had a huge joke recently. He was the one who went to take the shooting test for government civil servants just to pretend to be aggressive, and after passing the test, he deliberately refused the mayor's personal recruitment.
Yes, Simon admitted that he was just trying to pretend. He is an out-and-out Texan guy. Before the cataclysm, he was still a 'Jarhead'. He has a simple mind and well-developed limbs. He can do whatever he thinks of, and he especially likes to brag.
By the way, Texans love bragging, as much as they love guns, it's almost impossible to get rid of.
San Antonio city government selects civil servants, but also takes shooting test? When Simon heard the news, he signed up without even thinking about it. He just went for the limelight. Because he thinks that he is very good at marksmanship, he wants to teach the new rulers a lesson on behalf of the young and old in Texas.
In the last three years, Simon survived by relying on his superb marksmanship, and he is still alive and well. He has always regarded himself as a cowboy, hoping to become the embodiment of justice, and likes to brag with people in bars, and talk to others about his past, and he counts on this to be happy for the rest of his life.
When Simon passed the municipal government's shooting test at a super level, when the mayor Sherlock personally stepped forward and praised loudly, when he said loudly that he was here to show foreigners his pistol skills, and dismissed the civil servant position, how much he hoped that time could stop at that moment.
This is the culmination of Simon's life, if there is no plot of being slapped in the face later...
Ellie, who was in charge of the shooting test, used her strength to teach Simon a lesson. In the tactical shooting test close to actual combat, watching the weak girl burst out with powerful strength-just the ghostly speed and reaction made Simon shudder. .
Having experienced a lot in the hail of bullets, Simon is a man of knowledge. He put himself into the perspective of Ellie's opponent, and immediately felt that he might not survive half a minute. He could only leave the examination site in despair...
How frustrating!
But this is not the end, Mayor Sherlock filmed and edited the whole process of Simon's pretense in the exam and sent it to TV. As a result, people all over North America saw the scene of Simon being despised by the little girl - Simon went to the bar to brag as usual that night, and when he appeared, everyone laughed.
Everyone came to ask about the details of the exam, laughed while asking, and comforted Simon after laughing, saying, 'Be happy, Simon. I think your marksmanship is okay'.
If there was a hole in the ground, Simon wished he could get in and hide. He knew that those bastards were laughing at him in their hearts, and those guys must be talking contemptuously behind their backs, 'Have you heard? Simon, who likes to brag, failed this time. Hahaha, he is actually no better than a woman. '
Know what a setback and humiliation that is to a Texan? Simon almost didn't want to live.
But it's not over yet. Because of such a joke, many people became interested in this civil service examination. In order to prove that they are strong enough, there is an endless stream of people who go to the exam. And just as Simon drank his sorrows away, someone told him——Simon, you have been accepted by the city government.
Those who have passed the civil service examination, written examination and shooting test can choose positions at will. Those who have passed the written test and failed the shooting test can become civil servants. If you fail the written test and pass the shooting, you can at least be a policeman.
Simon was admitted to the first batch of military police in San Antonio, and his name came first. According to the description on the city government bulletin board, he will get a good deal. But he felt that this was an embarrassing humiliation, and he really wanted to copy the gun to the city hall to kill the damned Mayor Sherlock.
but…….
"Hi..., you are that Simon. Congratulations, you've become a policeman." A man he didn't know came over and patted Simon on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
Simon turned around and found that many people behind him were smiling at him friendly. He was surprised to find that the mockery in his imagination did not exist,
Rather, it is respect and encouragement.
"Boy, you're a good shooter, we need people like you to keep the law and order. Let's get this damn world back to normal, we've had enough."
"Simon, don't be unhappy. I know some people laugh at you, but I want to say that you are just unlucky to meet a master."
"Anyone who is familiar with the Aurora Legion knows that the Ellie you are competing with is not an 'ordinary female reporter', and it is not shameful to lose to her. Hehehe... In fact, you have to be glad that you didn't lose to a dog, that would be a god Big embarrassment."
Most of the people in front of the bulletin board had a peaceful attitude, and Simon was very moved when he left. He didn't know why he felt like crying, but it felt comfortable to be recognized by others without bragging.
Simon hesitated again and again, but decided to go to the city government to take over the police position. The people from the city government did not embarrass him. After a few words of advice, they issued him a police badge and uniform, and then asked him to attend a short police training course, mainly to learn how to be a policeman in the army.
"The police of the Legion are different from the police in the United States in the past, very different. The details will be explained to you in the short training class." The chief of the police station transferred from Mexico City personally told Simon, "But the biggest difference here is That is, no one can legally hold a gun except the military and police.”
"Ah..., this is the Legion's 'gun ban'." Simon still knew about it, "But in Texas, there are too many people with guns."
The police chief just said, "Then think about it the other way around. If you want to hold a gun, you have to be a military police. We need to expand the military and police force now, recruit the best gunmen to train, arrange jobs, and rebuild families. As long as there is stability life, I don't believe anyone will make trouble.
And for those who have poor marksmanship, don't you think guns become dangerous in their hands? And do you like everyone on the street with guns, or only the police with guns on the street? "
Uh..., Simon wanted to say 'holding guns is a tradition and a habit of our Texans'. But from the perspective of the police, who the hell likes everyone with guns?
"Openly 'holding a gun' will become a privilege, a privilege that is only given to a few people to reflect their status." The chief of the police said happily: "Simon, I am very happy to tell you now that you have now mastered this ability to override Privileges over ordinary people."
privilege……?
All one's life is actually a struggle to acquire certain privileges.
For example, having more money, beautiful women, territory, fame, and status are all privileges.
And if 'holding a gun' becomes a privilege, it's cool to think about it.
Simon has fought countless gun battles in the last days, but if the one who can hold a gun in the future is either himself or his colleagues, his opponent will at most hold a knife. This feeling is so cool.
"This gun ban sounds good." From the perspective of the police, Simon felt that it would be better for him to support the Legion.
This is the 'ass' problem.
