Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 154 Enemy of the People

Aureliano, who graduated from a higher education institution in District 17 at the age of sixteen, went to the core area for further study on the recommendation of his tutor.

Four years later, Aureliano, who graduated with honors, made a decision that no one could understand - he refused the opportunity to stay in the core area and resolutely returned to District 17.

He spent two years visiting various places, uniting all walks of life in the 17th district, and founded an organization called the Public Opinion Association.

At the age of 23, Aureliano, as a representative of the People's Council, proposed a reform proposal of hundreds of items to the 17th District government. The suggestions covered the opinions of most of the middle and lower-income people in the 17th District. The most important thing is to hope that the 17th district government will not be influenced by big companies and firmly control the border trade lines in the hands of government departments.

It was at the end of the gold rush, the Thirteen Neutral Nations had been established, and foreign exploration had brought about the prosperity of trade. The young Aureliano was very ambitious and firmly believed that his reform plan would make the city truly wealthy.

However, the proposals submitted to government departments fell into disarray.

The Foster family took over District 17, Chai Ke suddenly emerged, and armed forces controlled the trade routes of the "outside world".

Aureliano did not stop there. He drafted a tens of thousands of words analysis of the situation in District 17. In the analysis, he sharply pointed out the fall of the border trade lines and the harmfulness of the Chaico criminal group. , he suggested wiping out Chai Ke before it developed and regaining control of the trade lines.

Not surprisingly, he was ignored again.

At the age of 30, Aureliano, who was angry and dissatisfied with the inaction of the seventeenth district government, started his own campaign. In the following years, he lost almost every time with a weak support rate. given to the opponent.

"It is truly a blessing that this man was not secretly murdered by the Foster family."

After reading Aureliano's resume, Song Lan was amazed.

In the law enforcement department, it is not difficult to find out his experience, especially since the other party is a well-known "thorn" in the 17th District. In the law enforcement information database, Aureliano is listed as needing key "care." "Objects, usually only felons from District 17 will be included.

This was a "gift" left to them by the previous head of enforcers.

"But he has really been thinking about the border trade line since more than ten years ago."

Song Lan added another sentence.

Facts have proved that Aureliano's view is correct. The border trade line is indeed the lifeblood of the economy of the Seventeenth District, and Chai Ke, who is on this gold mine, has indeed become the underground emperor of the Seventeenth District.

However, that is not necessarily due to the government's inaction, but because the Foster family has already controlled the city.

Send huge profits to the core area, and use a little bit of it to appease local agencies such as the law enforcement department.

As for the general public?

That was simply not the demographic the Fosters had in mind.

"It's not easy to control trade lines."

Lu Xiang sighed. Although her final answer was ambiguous, she had to think about the question raised by Aureliano - with the current strength of the law enforcement department, can the security of border trade lines be protected?

The answer is obviously no.

Their scope of activities is limited to District 17. With their current manpower, there is simply not enough to establish outposts outside the border, and it is not part of their work in the first place.

However, if the entire border trade line is to be controlled by the 17th District Government, the safety of the merchants must be protected to a certain extent.

Otherwise, the goods will be robbed by "outside" criminal forces before anyone reaches District 17. Who will be willing to do business with you? If this continues, the huge profits from border trade lines may eventually fall into the pockets of "outside" criminal forces.

Fighting crime is much more difficult than preventing criminals from thinking about you.

"If you want to expand the team of law enforcement officers, you will inevitably need to expand the financial budget. Moreover, it will be difficult for citizens recruited from the 17th local area to compete with external criminal forces. Once they confront, the casualties will be quite heavy."

Lu Xiang was entangled because she knew that if the 17th district was to truly get rid of the control of the coalition government and big companies, economic development was necessary. Only after they had money could they build various urban facilities, otherwise no matter how much Policies and plans are just talk.

The same goes for fighting crime.

The main reasons for the high crime rate in the 17th District are unemployment and poverty. To solve both of these problems, huge financial expenditures are required. Those big companies will not take the money collected into their pockets for no reason. Come out to solve the social problems faced by the 17th District.

They can only fight the emergence of large-scale criminal groups, but they cannot solve the financial crisis.

If Aureliano really runs for office and becomes the next mayor, then the law enforcement department may not only be poor.

The economy must be developed through the 17th District's own strength to have a future.

My heart is very tired.

This is obviously not a job that a head of the law enforcement department needs to consider. However, the current situation is that if the battle between the coalition government and the rebels begins, District 17 will be the first to be destroyed if they are not prepared for danger in times of peace.

"Our abilities are limited, but we can encourage the private sector to set up private organizations to escort caravans. This will not only solve the manpower problem, but also provide a large number of jobs, so that street gangsters who wander the streets all day long can find a serious job. Work, not only that, when word spreads about it, it might even attract some experts from the 'outside'.

"The biggest advantage of the mercenary organization is that it is recognized by the laws of the 17th District. They don't need to worry about being targeted by law enforcement, and they don't need to worry about money laundering. This is an opportunity to stand up and behave openly."

Jobs, legal status, and the chance to live an upright life?

Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan in surprise. Even without talking about the feasibility of this plan, these three points alone can attract the attention of the citizens of the 17th District.

If given a choice, who wouldn’t want to be a good person?

As the dual section chief of the Publicity Department and the Psychological Counseling Department, this guy has almost no shortcomings except that he will automatically become a bastard if he is not careful!

"But we still have to face a problem. Even when equipped with weapons, it is difficult for mercenaries to compete with large-scale criminal groups from the 'outside'. This plan only transfers the casualties of law enforcement to mercenaries. On the body."

"Mercenary work has always been a high-risk, high-reward job. Moreover, after learning the information about those criminal groups, it was the turn of the special operations team to work. Compared with aimless patrols in the 'outside world' all day long, surgery Knife-style sweeps are more in line with our style and we want to send a message to criminals 'out there'."

Song Lan paused and said, "Anyone who attacks the caravan will become an enemy of District 17!"

The comparison value of the two characters has exceeded 2900, unlocking the 29th small theater:

Twenty-nine of the small theater:

A certain day, a certain year, a certain day, a Friday, afternoon.

As soon as Lu Xiang came home that day, he found Song Lan sitting solemnly in the living room with her hands folded on her chest, waiting for her.

"What's wrong?"

She took off her shoes as usual and hung her bag on the hanger by the door.

"I think we need to discuss a serious issue today."

"Um."

"Today I checked the balance on my card on a whim."

"Then what?"

"I really didn't expect that I was so rich."

"After all, you are in an important position now, so it's strange that you have no money."

"No, I mean, why do I have to work so hard when I'm already so rich?"

With a straight face, Song Lan asked the ultimate question of life, "I think it's time for us to discuss retirement plans."

"……retire?"

Lu Xiang was shocked. Song Lan was just a few years old and he was already planning his retirement.

"Yes, I want to retire and move to a seaside city. What do you think?"

At this moment, Lu Xiang felt that the coalition government had shot himself in the foot - they wanted to use their positions and high salaries to stabilize Song Lan and allow him to serve the coalition government with peace of mind.

However, they did not consider the consequences of doing so.

They have saved enough money for this salted fish.

From now on, there may be nothing in the world that can stop Song Lan from continuing to become salty!
