1520 Landing Smoothly
Two weeks passed quickly.
Balloting stations from all over the country were packed and sent to Bupain by train, and the votes will be counted uniformly in Bupain.
The workload is a bit heavy, but it is not impossible to complete. Considering the current situation, the working group has added some people.
The entire process will take about three days and will be completed before January 2.
This winter is still as cold as ever, and people are still discussing the election and who will eventually become the new president.
Whether it's the old president, the candidates waiting for the results, or anyone else.
New TV programs, new hosts, and new TV series are constantly appearing, which can make people find some fun to pass the time in the cold winter.
When I come back from get off work every day, I lie on the soft sofa, enjoy the warmth, and watch TV. There is nothing happier than this!
All in all, it’s a happy New Year for everyone in the Commonwealth.
Perhaps because they have adapted to the cold winter, people don't think there is anything unacceptable about it, it's just cold.
But in the north, cold has become deadly.
Far away in Marillo, the whole world seemed to be white.
It’s even difficult for people to see outside their windows because the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors can cause water mist on the windows, and this water mist will quickly freeze into ice in the extremely freezing weather outside.
Even if the temperature inside some houses is very high, the windows will not be frozen, and everything outside the windows will be white...
The wind is blowing violently, and the strong wind in an environment of dozens of degrees below zero is like the scythe of death. Anything with moisture in the body will be frozen almost instantly!
Even if people wore thick clothes and used the furs of other animals to protect themselves from the cold, it would be difficult for them to survive outside.
it's too cold!
Some people took the risk and tried this, but soon their feet were blackened and necrotic from the cold. The winter in Marillo was really a disaster for the people living here.
Only when these storms stop can people leave their houses and take a look outside.
Further south, the situation is getting better, but only a little better. It is still cold. The most frightening thing is that after the arrival of winter, people's need to eat becomes a big trouble.
It has been three years, but the people of Marillo still have not been able to store enough winter food before winter comes, because for people in the north, winter is too long.
On the border between Marillo and the Federation, many refugees have gathered, all of whom fled from the north.
They hope to go to the Federation. In their perception, the Federation is a warm and wealthy country.
Even homeless people can live a good life. They can have cigarettes, beer, food and drink. They can go to the hospital when they are sick. They don’t need to worry about being flown out of nowhere at any time. The incoming bullet kills.
Or maybe you didn't notice the change in weather one night and got frozen into a popsicle.
A large number of refugees are looking for opportunities to sneak into the Federation every day, but the recent situation has been a bit complicated. The Federation has not only deployed additional border patrols, but also built some fortress walls not very far from the border.
This made the Marillo people even more fearful and uneasy, and all kinds of true and false rumors were mixed among this growing group.
In fact, what is even more surprising is that the racial conflict that has always been unresolved in Marillo was finally perfectly resolved at this moment, under another situation that threatened everyone's lives.
Here, whether they are Malorians or Malorians, they can live together, and no one hates each other or attacks each other.
Because they know very well that hating and attacking each other at this time will not bring them any benefits, but will instead cause greater unpredictable dangers.
"Have you heard about it?" In a small temporary tent built with wood and some clothes and quilts, a guy shivered and walked in.
As soon as he came in, someone else asked him this question. Have you heard about it?
This is a small group. The guy sitting in the tent is called Recatos. He is an authentic Mallorian.
In the past, he was regarded as a small captain under a small warlord. However, as the winter became more and more difficult, the lack of supplies and various reasons, the small warlord group collapsed.
In fact, not only the small warlord group he belonged to collapsed, but now the entire Marillo and the slightly smaller groups were finished.
Even for the great warlords, life is not easy. The winter is long and cold. They not only have to ensure their own livelihood problems, but also ensure the winter survival problems of the people under their command.
Otherwise, once people run away, they will soon have no one left under them.
A big warlord who has no one to use is tantamount to a deep sin in an environment like Marillo where there is almost no law!
A warlord without people is just a moving treasury.
The big warlords can still manage to survive, but the small warlords are totally helpless.
This is the case with Recatos. The warlords ran away to other countries on their own and ignored them. They usually didn't have much savings, and they had no good way to fight against such bad weather.
The only way is to go south.
He is usually more prestigious, and everyone is willing to follow him, so he brought people here.
What he asked this person to inquire about was about going to the Federation.
glutinous rice
Although the federal border seems to be full of loopholes, you don't know where there are patrols hidden.
Since the number of smugglers suddenly increased the year before last, the federal government has added a lot of patrols on the border. They even heard that those bunker walls were to prevent smugglers.
This has also made many people panic. Once these bunker walls are built, it means that it will be difficult for them to sneak into the Federation. There have been some firefights recently.
Stowaways continued to be shot to death and thrown in front of them. Unfortunately, this did not stop people's determination to go to the Federation, but instead deepened it.
The young man who came in was shivering with cold. He sat around the stove for a while before he recovered.
"After ten o'clock every night, the patrol team will change from half an hour to one hour. If there is strong wind, it will change to one and half hour. That is our opportunity."
Recatos nodded, "Everyone, get ready and take action tonight."
One of his subordinates asked, "So fast?"
Recatos looked at him, which made the questioner slowly lower his head and avoid his gaze.
After re-establishing his authority, Recatos explained, "We can't wait too long. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more federal people on the border. If we don't leave now, it will be too late to leave later. !”
In fact, it's not just Recatos who is nervous now, the whole world is also nervous.
As the Pengeo people's sea fortresses were launched one after another, the war was almost imminent.
It could be weeks, months, a year or two, or it could be now!
The Mariro people have accumulated a large number of refugees in the Federation. If they impact the federal border and the Penteo people brazenly launch a war, the attention of the Federation people may be divided in half.
Moreover, the Strategic Command has considered the possibility that the Penteo people may already have contact with the Marillo government.
Mariro's new president is different from his father. He rarely says anything internationally, and he has not considered saving these refugees, but allows them to flee on their own.
This always feels like a conspiracy.
Once these hundreds of thousands of armed Mariro refugees flow into the federal territory, it will cause a devastating blow to the federal mainland!
Yes, almost all of these Marillos are armed and very scary!
Therefore, the more refugees there are, the more patrols and even the army will be on the border. They have to beware of problems that may break out anytime and anywhere.
As the number of people on both sides increased, the tension escalated and affected some people. The same was true for Recatos, who was unwilling to wait any longer.
No one here disagreed with his decision, and they all nodded.
Except for two people in the group who were guarding the temporary tent, everyone else began to rest.
Time passed quickly, and when it reached twelve o'clock, these people also woke up one after another.
They ate something first
Some tree roots and wild vegetables that can be found nearby are also dwindling. After all, there are too many refugees.
They smashed these things and threw them into a pot to cook. The cooked food had a strong herbal smell and was difficult to swallow.
Those thick and long fibers are like barbed thorns, always firmly attached to the throat and esophagus, and they need to be swallowed with leaves to swallow them.
But I have to say that this kind of crude fiber food is also very resistant to hunger and has a strong sense of satiety.
As soon as the group came out of the tent at night, they found that several groups of people were still awake in this temporary camp.
After they looked at each other for a moment, they understood each other's thoughts, and then the leader sat together.
From the current point of view, these people have the same purpose and interests, and they all want to go to the Federation.
Since the goals are the same, why can't we cooperate?
As for who is lucky and who is unlucky, it depends on God's will.
Maybe everyone can cross the border?
At half past one in the evening, Mr. President was dreaming. In his dream, he achieved his re-election and left an indelible page in the history of the Federation.
A president who served for ten years!
This situation is extremely rare, or difficult to replicate. People will talk about a series of changes in the economy, military, politics, culture, and society of the Federation during his tenure.
He would become the president who occupies the most pages in federal history textbooks!
Just as he was accepting the world's congratulations, the phone rang.
He opened his eyes in the darkness, looked at the dark ceiling, and sighed suddenly.
Everything that was beautiful just now was just a fucking dream!
He stood up and picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and then his whole body froze...
"There was a large-scale exchange of fire at the border, a regional patrol station was captured, and a large number of Marillos were crossing the border..."
