Chapter 199 Military Power
After lunch at noon, which should be regarded as the afternoon in a strict sense, Ferrara drove to pick Lynch up.

Lynch talked with him on the phone in the morning and talked about the recent rapid deterioration of public security in Sabine City, as well as his concerns. Ferrara said that he could solve these minor problems for Lynch, and he would pick him up in the afternoon.

Sitting in Ferrara's car, Ferrara was talking while driving, "It's best not to drive that car of yours in the near future. To be honest, the situation is developing faster than ours now. expectations."

This is the charm of wealth. The mayor will never tell Lynch that the situation is getting out of control. He will only show that everything is under control. As for other things, it is impossible .

Ferrara was different. He was loyal to his job and a man with a work ethic.

He took Lynch's money and hoped to continue to take it, so he had to advise Lynch and tell him something he knew but Lynch didn't know.

The speed of the development of the situation exceeded the expectations of the Sabine City ruling group. The mayor and Ferrara believed that after the New Year, these people who had been tortured by their lives might try to attack financial institutions.

They will not be able to attack the federal government until March or April next year.

Before that, they were not unable to survive. The sufficient food rolls in the city could at least make them not think about the problem of hunger. If they just had no money in hand, such a thing should not happen.

But the facts gave them a slap without hesitation, making them realize the power of reality.

"A small gang attack on a bank was repulsed last night, and the Police Commissioner and Director of Investigations believe they got off to a bad start and more violent robberies are likely to follow."

"Your car is too conspicuous, and it is easy to be spotted. I suggest you buy a second-hand car and renovate it."

At this time, when the red light came on, Ferrara released his foot from the accelerator, and looked at Lynch with his head tilted, "You can decorate the things in the car very luxuriously, and it won't affect your enjoyment." , and people won't pay much attention to you, because it doesn't look like it's worth money."

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a gunshot on the street, and then the crowd on the street quickly scattered and ran away. In the blink of an eye, few people could be seen on the road.

A guy wearing a hat, glasses, and a jacket, who hid himself tightly, tore a bag in the hand of a guy who fell on the ground. There were two patrolmen farther away, but they were obviously not in the first place. Time interferes with the crime scene.

When the robber pointed his gun at the guy on the ground again, facing the fear of death, the passer-by let go of his hands, and the robber quickly rushed into the alley by the side of the road with his bag.

Immediately afterwards, two patrolmen ran over to check the wounded's injuries and called the police to call for reinforcements.

Because of the appearance of the police, some people appeared on the street again, and some of them bravely ran over to watch, and the order seemed to be restored to a certain extent.

"Uh...", Ferrara felt that he had to explain something, but everything happened too fast, from the sound of the gun to the present, it was actually less than 20 seconds, maybe only about 15 seconds, his own brain Neither fully turned the corner.

"Maybe the police didn't react..." He used his own way to find an excuse for the police to be indifferent after witnessing the crime.

Lynch looked at him, and he also looked at Lynch, but gradually moved away from Lynch's calm gaze, he let go of his hands holding the steering wheel, and raised his hand, "Okay, actually this question ..."

A retreating horn interrupted him, the car restarted, and Ferrara explained the problem all the way.

From the unexpected situation last night to this morning, seven people in the police station have submitted their resignation reports, and some people are still concerned.

These policemen are very cunning, which can also be understood as smart. Anyway, the policeman is a hard job, and they don't have to worry about not being able to return to work after the situation subsides.

The current city is too dangerous. There have been cases of armed attacks on financial institutions. I am afraid that it will not be long before more terrible things will happen.

As cops, they'll be confronting these horrific criminals. These guys aren't the ones on TV who run around in fright with their heads in their hands like rats when they see a cop.

Some of them have more shooting experience than the police. There are indeed some people who are willing to stand up for justice in their hearts, but most of them are ordinary people. They are not willing to cover the national flag for a monthly salary of [-] yuan. Buried in the soil.

Therefore, the chief of the police department allowed them to choose to avoid temporarily when facing armed crimes, in exchange for the police to continue to maintain law and order stably.

While speaking, the speed of the car gradually slowed down. This place has already left the central block of the city, and it looks a bit dilapidated.

There is a semi-cylindrical building on the side of the road, like this "⌒". There is a large open space in front of the building, and there are some fitness training equipment on it. A sign - "Sabine City Soldiers Club."

As the two walked in, Ferrara said, "Although we remain neutral, we also have a sound military system, which is to prevent certain countries from undeclared war."

"A large number of veterans return to society every year. This is the place where the veterans are most concentrated in Sabine City. It just so happens that my wife's father is also a veteran..."

Ferrara opened the door of the building for Lynch. As soon as he entered the building, he could immediately see two soldiers sitting at the front desk. Ferrara reported his name and explained his purpose. The old man came out with a smile.

This old soldier was the father of Ferrara's wife. After Lynch exchanged a brief greeting with him, the three of them entered the rear of the building, which looked like a military camp.

"We have maintained some of the appearance of the army to the greatest extent, which allows the children who come back from the army to return to society better."

According to some studies, it is difficult for soldiers who have lived in the army for a long time to adapt to life in ordinary society once they leave the army.

You must know that during their life and work in the army, they learned all the techniques related to killing, and they always maintained a high fighting spirit and were ready to go to war anytime, anywhere.

This conflicts with a peaceful and peaceful life. Many people have some psychological problems in this strong contrast, which eventually leads to some tragedies.

The Military Club is such an organization. The organizers were entrusted by the Ministry of Defense to open such an institution to help those soldiers re-adapt to society and integrate into society.

Under the introduction of the old soldier, the three of them came to a barracks. When the three of them entered, the soldiers who were either sitting or lying in the barracks turned over and stood in front of their beds, just like when they were in the army.

Ferrara's wife's father had a somewhat proud grin on his face as he looked at Lynch and asked, "How are my lads?"

That's the solution Ferrara was looking for for him -- veterans.

"These young people were all discharged in May, and they haven't had much exposure to society. Each of them is a great guy in the army." Ferrara and Lynch explained, meaning that they would not be who For those who arrange, there is no need to worry about loyalty issues.

Lynch nodded, his eyes flicked over the faces of these young people one by one, and finally decided to come down.

"They all have gun licenses..."

Before Feralle said anything, his wife's father said, "You don't need to worry about these, there must be."

Lynch looked at him, then at Ferrara, and the matter was considered to be completely settled.

Lynch's statement also made his father-in-law relieved. Veterans' pensions and living arrangements have always been arranged by the veterans' offices in various regions.

In the past, these things were easy to do. As long as there was a letter of introduction, the factory owners were happy to accept this group of obedient veterans. They obeyed the rules and regulations of the factory better than ordinary people, and they were also easier to manage.

But the current situation is so bad that even the veterans factory doesn't want it. The veterans who came back from Sabine this year have not got a guaranteed job so far. At the same time, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Office, and The local military clubs realized that if they were allowed to wander in the society, there was a high possibility of a scene that no one wanted to see.

They may be lured by certain criminals, or use their professional military capabilities to commit crimes due to life forces. At that time, what the police will have to face is not the thugs with guns, but the training A well-trained killing machine.

So after a very short agreement, the Soldiers Club also began to mobilize its forces to solve the life problems of these young people.

The Ministry of Defense will directly allocate funds to military clubs in various places until the current situation is resolved.

When Lynch and Ferrara's wife's father signed the agreement in the office, the boys were already ready to go. They packed up their things like in the army and waited for Lynch.

They are very curious about Lynch, because Lynch is younger than all of them, which also makes them feel that getting along with this boss should not be too difficult, and at the same time they are full of expectations for their future life.

When Lynch came out of the office and shook hands with Ferrara's wife's father in front of these soldiers, the hearts of these young people were completely relieved.

When the sergeant with the highest rank among these people was about to say something, he suddenly realized that he didn't know how to communicate with Lynch. After a short moment of astonishment, his mind went blank...
