Chapter 294 National Debt

Cui Bo and the others actually have the same idea as Gao Yang. They can't control other people's money, and they shouldn't take out the money in a high-profile way, lest they inadvertently stand on the commanding heights of morality and let people who didn't want to take out the money The people felt embarrassed, so they delivered the money to Ma'id one by one, and soon met people with the same idea.

After Ma Yid took a deep breath, he hugged Gao Yang with one arm and said with a chuckle: "You five people all have similar opinions. You are really all the same kind of people. I, I really don't know. What can I say?"

Gao Yang said casually: "Okay, don't talk about this. The money we get from you is not small. Besides, we are not short of the money. Why bother with so much."

At this time, Cui Bo clapped his hands and said loudly: "How about it? Let me tell you. I said Brother Yang must take out the money. Isn't that right?"

Li Jinfang rolled his eyes at Cui Bo and said with disdain: "You idiot, as if that's not what others said. Hey, Xiaoma, stop inking. Dinner is here. Go and eat quickly. I haven't thought about it all day." It’s time to eat, I’m starving.”

Grolev walked to Majid's side and said with a smile: "Okay, I am still the commander of the navy and the commander of the artillery. Although I am already the predecessor, okay, this little money is not worth it to us. It doesn’t matter, in fact, you really don’t need to take it too seriously.”

Ma Yid nodded and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what to say, and I don't want to say anything more. Thank you, thank you. As long as the Skeleton Gang still exists, and as long as the Skeleton Gang is not dead, then you You will always be the closest comrades and friends of the Skull Gang. Also, I lent you this money. No, no, this is not borrowed by me. It was borrowed by the Skull Gang. If we unify the entire Somalia, we can just take this money. It’s a national debt, and I guarantee that the money will definitely be paid back to you.”

Gao Yang laughed and said: "Okay, I'm very ambitious. Let's treat this money as a national debt now. Okay, we'll wait for you. When will the Skeleton Gang rule Somalia? You can pay us back. Remember that there will be more money when the time comes." Calculate some interest, it’s a national debt, don’t be too stingy.”

Everyone laughed, and Gao Yang casually patted Ma Yid on the shoulder. He smiled and said: "If you really capture the whole of Somalia, then you will be the president, but don't forget that I am the first commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army. When the time comes, write my name in the textbooks, haha, By the way, my real name is Gao Yang, Gao Di Gao, Fei Yang Yang. It’s not Yang from the poplar tree.”

Ma'id also laughed and said: "I finally know your real name. So Commander Gao, should we get to know each other again and then formally talk about your private identity. The issue of how the national debt provided will be repaid.”

Gao Yang also laughed and said: "What's the hurry? There will be many opportunities for us to deal with each other in the future.

It turns out that I never told you that a few of us will continue to hang out in the Gulf of Aden. We have established a maritime security company. Just remember to ask your people not to ask us for money. "

Ma Yid immediately said: "Really? That's great. We can meet each other from time to time. When our conditions are good, I will entertain you well. As for your company, it goes without saying that in the Skeleton Gang Within the scope of control, your company’s business is the Skeleton Gang’s business, just talk if you have anything to do.”

After a knowing smile, Gao Yang shook hands with Ma Yid again, but this time they were shaking hands as friends, not as a mercenary and his employer.

Cui Bo and the others also shook hands with Ma Yid in turn, and reported their real names. After getting to know each other again, Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Let's go, find a place to eat, Rabbit, go shout out Test tube, let him eat and then rest."

Frye said urgently: "Attention, the test tube is out, everyone is pretending to be fine."

Gao Yang looked back and saw Bruce walking over with a bag. Gao Yang smiled apologetically at Ma Yid and said: "The test tube has just joined us. He is not as rich as us. Well, you don't have to give up on some things." He gets it."

Mayid nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand."

Bruce was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Gao Yang and the others together with Ma Yid, but then he still walked over and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you go to eat?"

Cui Bo immediately said: "Isn't this waiting for you? I was planning to call you. Okay, since you haven't slept, let's go eat together."

After Bruce hesitated for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go now. I'm starving. Oh, you go first. I have something to explain to Ma'id about the wounded. .”

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Okay, let's go first. You guys talk about business first. I'll tell you where to eat later."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang winked at Ma Yid, and then the five of them went to find a place to cook. However, they had not gone far when they heard Ma Yi De shouting from behind: "Come back." , No need to leave, the test tube is just like you, and the money is here."

Gao Yang and the others looked at each other, but they smiled knowingly. When they turned around and walked back, Li Jinfang suddenly said: "This person can make friends."

Grolev also said in a deep voice: "The essence of a person can be seen from his attitude towards money. I think the test tube can officially join us."

"agree."

"agree."

He talked while walking, and when he was about to reach Ma Yid, Gao Yang made the final decision and said: "Okay, Bruce is officially accepted as one of us."

After walking back to the original place, Cui Bo shouted to Bruce: "Test tube, aren't you short of money? Why did you take out the money too?"

Bruce shrugged and said indifferently: "I used to be short of money, but now I am not short of money. The share given to me has already helped me get out of financial difficulties, and I will still be able to work in the security company in the future." There’s money to be had, so why not give it to those who need it most.”

After finishing speaking, Bruce spread his hands and curled his lips and said: "The Skeleton Gang just captured Bossosa. Well, there are too many places to spend money. At least we need to buy a large number of medicines immediately. If we don't have money, what can we do with it?" I’m buying medicine. I don’t want the wounded I saved to die due to lack of medicine.”

Hearing Bruce talk about the problem of medicines, Gao Yang also became serious and said: "Now that we have captured Bososa and have a deep-water port, many things can be purchased in large quantities. Mayid, do you want to buy them?" What happened?"

Majid immediately said: "Food and medicine, as long as these two things are available, I believe that the residents of Bossosa will immediately follow the Skeleton Gang wholeheartedly. Although Bossosa is also a city, the problem of food shortage is very serious. . Food is actually not expensive to buy from other places. I plan to buy a large amount of food from Uliyangke immediately. As long as the first batch can be solved by the people in the city, the rest can be purchased at any time with tolls. "The key is this first batch. I was still worried about the funding of the first batch of food, but now I don't have to worry about it. With four million US dollars, it is enough to buy the first batch of food and medicine."

Although Bossosa is already a large city in Somalia, the food shortage problem is still extremely serious. More than 80% of the residents live in a state of hunger, although the price of food is not too expensive. But people here have no money to buy food, and even if they had money they wouldn't be able to buy it.

Mokadi, who controls Bossosa, will not use his own money to feed the people of the city. Although he will also buy food, it is enough to fill the stomachs of his own army, even if he is rich. They will only be sold at a high price.

Filling the bellies of followers, in a country where starvation is the norm, it is enough to do this. If you use this magic weapon, you can be invincible. Now that Bossosa has been captured, then the Skeleton Gang We have to take responsibility for the residents of Bososa. There is definitely no problem with Ma'ed's approach of buying food first, but the problem is that the previous people of the Skull Gang, or gang members, received food for free, and Gao Yang didn't know Does Majeed intend to copy this practice to Bossosa?

"As long as you have money, the food problem is easy to solve. Ulyanke can deliver it in three days at most. The question is how do you plan to deliver food to the residents of Bossosa?"

After hearing Gao Yang's question, Ma Yid perked up and said, "I already have a plan. Bossosa has a population of about 50,000 people. Excluding the money for medicines and shipping costs, the rest is enough to buy 50,000 people." Thousands of tons of wheat. This grain is enough to feed the entire Bossosa for a year. I plan to supply it on a daily basis, one kilogram a day for adults and half a kilogram a day for children. In general, as long as the toll can be collected, I can solve the problem of Bossosa Food won’t be a problem.”

Gao Yang sighed and said: "You are indeed an idealist. The problem is your method. No, listen to me. You can't just give food to everyone. Doing so will only create a bunch of lazy people." Come on, you have to let them contribute to the Skeleton Gang in order to get food, do you understand?"

Ma Yid frowned and said: "I know that giving blindly is not good, so I plan to distribute food every day, but the problem is that the Skeleton Gang can't provide other jobs except the army. They don't have it." But how can we allow people to distribute food according to their work?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said: "Since you have become the masters of Borsosa, you must have a sense of ownership. If there is no chance, then create opportunities. Let's put it this way, the city of Borsosa is dirty and messy. It is a big city. Garbage dumps, let people clean the streets, and as long as they can get as much food as they can in a day's work, isn't this a job opportunity?"

Grolev immediately said: "Before doing anything, you must first register the population, register as a family, and establish a household registration. The standing army will definitely expand in size and provide food for families with people in the army. If everyone has If so, then give more to military families.”

Gao Yang also nodded and said: "Yes, since we are talking about the army, soldiers must also have a salary. It doesn't need to be much, but it must be there. There are also pensions for fallen soldiers and so on. You can't let them always work for their ideals. The battle is okay if the time is short, but it is difficult to say if it is long. For ordinary soldiers, they just hope to have enough to eat. Now they have accomplished their goals to a large extent. Therefore, reasonable rules must be set from the beginning so that they have the motivation to continue fighting. If there is no money now, everything can be simplified. The money or things can be less, even if it is just symbolic, but it must be Gotta have it.”

Ma Yid nodded and said: "Listening to what you said, my idea became clear. Let everyone have something to do. Even if they have nothing to do, they can find something to do. Well, in fact, Bossosa does have a lot. If there is something to do, clean the streets and build fortifications. If you have skills, let them trade their skills for food. If you have no skills, then find a way to find a simple job for them. In short, you cannot raise a group of people who only know how to wait with their hands out. Only those who are really incapable of working can enjoy the unconditional supply. Those who are purely lazy can just let them starve."

Gao Yang clapped his hands and said: "By the way, that's what I mean. Okay, we can't delay buying food. Buying medicine is even more urgent. Have you called Ulyanke?"

Mayid smiled and said: "Not long ago I was worried about money. How dare I call Ulyanko?"

Gao Yang nodded and said: "That's right. As long as you have money, it's easy to talk about this guy Ulyanke. But if you don't have money, then there's nothing to say. Okay, you hurry up and call Uliyangke." Well, if we hurry up, he can send a batch of food over the day after tomorrow. By the way, test tubes, are there shortages of medicines now? Do we need to arrange an airdrop? "

After Bruce thought for a while, he shook his head and said: "There is not a shortage of medicines, but there are a few medicines that are consumed a lot. It is best to send a batch within three days, otherwise there will be a shortage. I will list one as soon as possible. Let’s make a list, and the residents of Bossosa need a lot of regular medicines. The Skeleton Gang doesn’t know when they will encounter fighting again, so when purchasing medicines this time, I think I should ask more local doctors for their opinions.”

Ma'id laughed and said: "Aren't you hungry? Why did you forget about eating when we talked about it? Let's go. As we walked, we said, the soldiers have started taking turns to eat, we have to hurry up." Just go."

Several people went to eat talking and laughing, but none of them could have imagined that everything Gao Yang and Ma Yid joked about would eventually come true. Of course, this was all a thing for another day.
