One Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illegal Households
Ye Han was about to speak when a faint column of smoke suddenly appeared in the night vision device. He blinked in confusion: "Bridge, please answer when you receive it!"
"Received on the bridge, please speak!" Lin Yi's eyes were red after staying up all night, but he replied as soon as he received the communication.
"There is an abandoned town in front of me on the right, look what's going on!"
"Received...nothing, there is smoke coming from a room, like smoke from a kitchen."
"I've really seen a ghost...Xiao Yuan!"
"arrive!"
Ye Han pointed at the smoke column and shouted: "Did you see it?"
"Saw!"
"Take someone over and have a look!"
"Understood!" Xiao Yuan agreed and immediately checked his equipment.
Gu Cheng waited for Ye Han to finish all the arrangements before whispering: "Captain Ye, there are only a few gangsters at most, so there is no need to be so sensitive, right?"
Ye Han couldn't help but be startled: "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he realized that Ye Han didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help but said in surprise, "No, you really don't know?"
"Should I know?" Ye Han asked.
"I was negligent!" Gu Cheng thought of the origin of this unit, hesitated and said, "This matter is not a secret, but not many people know about it..."
Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Can you please tell me directly?"
Gu Cheng's expression froze: "According to incomplete statistics, since the Dajing Lake incident, the number of missing people in the country has exceeded 40 million. On average, there are five people per square kilometer in the country. If uninhabitable places are included, , one square kilometer can be divided into at least twenty or thirty. In ancient times, the country had only this many people. Tell me, how many people are you meeting in dry land? "
Ye Han was extremely surprised: "Why so many?"
"More? It's better to say less!" Gu Cheng looked at you as if you were ignorant, "Do you know where all the black households come from?"
After hearing these words, Ye Han immediately remembered Beidu's policy.
As early as more than ten years ago, Beidu decided on the first batch of fortress cities, and later added some cities one after another, forming the fortress cities that are now spread across the country. Later, Beidu abandoned villages and towns and evacuated all scattered populations to heavily defended areas. The city eventually formed its current situation.
He thought for a while and said: "The missing people should include the victims of previous insect disasters, right?"
"Yes, but the victims are not considered criminals."
"What happened to the underworld?" Ye Han asked shamelessly.
Gu Cheng clapped his fingers and said, "First, he didn't catch up when we evacuated, or he didn't trust the arrangements from above, so he deliberately hid and didn't evacuate."
"Oh!" Ye Han suddenly realized, "It's not surprising, there are people like this in every dynasty and every generation."
Gu Cheng put away the second finger: "The second one is that after retreating to the city, he was not suitable for life in the fortress city and ran out on his own."
"Not surprising." Ye Han commented.
Fortress cities are a special product of wartime. Each city is astonishingly large in scale. To prevent giant insects, no matter what kind of building it is, it is as awkward as a Japanese gun tower. More importantly, in order to maintain order in the city, Beidu has implemented strict military control over the fortress city. Everyone is divided into areas and guaranteed to live at home. To describe it nicely, it is like a military camp, but to say it worse, it is slightly better than a concentration camp. .
In other words, although fortress cities protect the lives and safety of citizens, they do so at the expense of their freedom.
Most people feel that it is nothing to pay a small price in order to live, but there are also some people who feel that they cannot be free and living is better than death.
These people are probably the people who escaped from the city as mentioned by Gu Cheng.
Of course, the word "escape" is very inaccurate, because Beidu is not begging for anyone. If you are determined to leave the fortress city, you can submit a written application. As long as you are an adult with full behavioral capacity, it can be approved in up to half a day. , leaving the city from then on, leaving life and death to his fate.
It’s not that the management of Beidu is particularly humane, but that these people staying in the city are also a source of instability. It’s better to let them leave proactively.
Reducing the pressure on public security in urban areas - Fortress cities are indeed very depressing, with various conflicts emerging one after another. The military has tried its best to improve the security situation, and there is no other way to let the unrest go away.
Moreover, Beidu does not just let people out and leave them alone. People who leave also have several different options, such as leaving the city completely and never having anything to do with it. In this case, the military will cancel the person's information and will never be allowed to return. City - It is difficult for citizens who grew up in peaceful times to accept this kind of treatment, so even if they leave the city, few people do so.
Another way is to register information with the military and become a mercenary of the military. Beidu allows major cities to provide certain conveniences and assistance to mercenaries who leave voluntarily, such as exchanging collected materials for weapons, exchanging insect meat for weapons, etc. wait.
However, this is still subject to the management of the military, and some things that exceed the minimum limit cannot be done. However, for some people who leave, doing this can not only obtain weapons, but also return to the city for refuge when necessary, which is a good choice.
Gu Cheng put away the third finger: "The third type of people are stowaways, and there are quite a few of them."
Ye Han nodded: "Understood!"
That's right, it's understanding.
There is nothing I can do about it, even if the situation in the country is not that good, compared with abroad, the country is simply a paradise. In the eyes of many neighboring countries, the land under the jurisdiction of Beitou is so good that they all want to become the governor of Beitou. legal citizens.
How serious was this situation at its peak? It reached the point where many small countries around the capital rushed to beg Beidu, asking for the whole country to be incorporated into Beidu's rule in order to obtain Beidu's protection!
The opportunity was rare, but Beidu's power was limited. It was already at its limit to manage its own people, so how could it care about other people's people?
Besides, these places were all located in tropical areas, and giant insects were rampant in the country, almost equivalent to no-man's land. What would Beidu do with them?
So although Beidu received many applications, none of them agreed. Anyway, even if all the monkeys in Southeast Asia died, the land would not disappear. The meat would rot in the pot, and sooner or later it would be Beidu's dish.
But no matter what, the global situation was gradually collapsing, the borders of various countries were empty, and the ports in various places were in name only. All of this provided a good environment for refugees from various countries to smuggle. For a time, countless refugees poured into the country.
Since Beidu could only effectively control major cities, and most of the land could not be effectively controlled, the refugees pouring into the country became one of the main sources of illegal households.
Ye Han knew these situations, but he didn't know that refugees had become the main force of illegal immigrants.
According to what he knew, refugees mainly came from Southeast Asia, and there were also some in the northwest. However, the altitude was still a great restriction for the Zerg, so the situation in the northwest border was much better than that in the southern border.
Gu Cheng finally retracted his fourth finger: "There are some other miscellaneous situations, which are too complicated to talk about, and I can't explain them clearly for a while. This is probably the situation."
Ye Han laughed: "So you think this matter is not a big deal, and there is no need to go over to see it, right?"
Gu Cheng nodded frankly: "They like to live like this, I don't think it's necessary to interfere."
"It's okay, I don't plan to interfere, let's see what happens."
I want to write about the lives of civilians in the context of alien invasion, but I haven't found the right entry point...
