The office of Police Station 61 was extremely simple. Even the chief Shitou Luo himself had never imagined that one day such a big shot would come to this room to discuss something, and what they were discussing was so incredible. He stood solemnly by the side, expressionless on his face, but with turbulent waves in his heart.
Lu Ming deliberately kept Shitou Luo because he felt that he had a clear vision, which was rare among low-level police officers. He was a talented person with great potential.
Xiangsha Shimi from across the street came here to ask for help.
She said that based on many signs, she felt that an armed rebellion would break out in Whitefire Castle in the near future. It just so happened that Chief Beat came down for an inspection, otherwise she would have wanted to go to Nile City to meet the chief, but no one introduced her, and she didn't know if she could meet the chief.
Xiangsha Shimi is charming and seductive. She is wearing a light green professional suit for an urban white-collar woman, which has the special temperament of a professional woman in the political arena. Under the light green trousers that wrap her beautiful legs, she is wearing a pair of milky white high-heeled shoes, revealing her white silk stockings. The way she lifts her feet up and swings them while talking makes the modern sexy charm of this last royal princess, who has a noble temperament, even more charming.
Xiangsha Shimi even handed over a list and said, "Director, I don't know if you have heard of the Western Region Rose organization. They are all very cruel thugs, and our political and police circles have been infiltrated. This is the list of more than a dozen council members who are members of the Western Region Rose organization that I know of."
Lu Ming had been noncommittal about the emergency situation Xiangsha Shimi mentioned. Now he looked up and asked, "Are there people from the police involved?" He took the list and looked at it.
"I heard that," said Xiangsha Shimi, "General, it's better to be prepared, right?"
"What do you want me to do? Arrest all these congressmen?" Looking at the list, Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Xiangsha Shimi was also stunned. She never expected that the minister would arrest the councillors as soon as he opened his mouth. The original purpose of informing might have been to achieve this result, but that was a very complicated process. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the minister, arresting members of the city council was not a difficult decision.
Then Xiangsha Shimi's pretty face returned to normal and she said, "That would be the best!"
Lu Ming nodded: "I will consider it, but I will deal with the matter at hand first." Looking at Shi Touluo, "You lead the team and arrest everyone you think should be arrested!"
Shitou Luo was stunned, "Huh?"
Lu Ming said, "In the Eight Fire District, um, that is, the 61st District, a pilot program of military control will be implemented from now on. Didn't you tell Kunpeng? If you want to make a thorough change here, you have to arrest so-and-so, confiscate their means of production, and distribute them to their former slaves. Moreover, based on what you know about their past and current actions, wouldn't it be too much to shoot them several times? These are all what you said, so let's do as you think."
Shitou Luo was stunned. He had just been drinking and chatting with the chief guard captain, Lord Kunpeng, last night and had just complained a few words after drinking too much.
"You don't dare? You want to change this place. Even if I give you the power, you still don't dare?" Lu Ming stared at Shi Tou Luo.
Under the chief's sharp gaze, Shitou Luo felt his blood boiling and shouted, "Yes!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Go! But don't kill anyone. I plan to adopt a redemption system. We will use the credit of the Military Control Commission as a guarantee to help the poor redeem the means of production that were previously monopolized by the slave owners. The poor will pay the money in installments. It can be divided into a very long period, fifty years? A hundred years? No interest will be used. Oh, go to Lieutenant Colonel Sutila, she will explain it to you, and will also officially issue the Military Control Commission's Order No. 1 for this pilot."
Unlike the Northern Territory, except for Anshan and parts of Haixi Province where such radical measures were taken, most areas in the Northern Territory still relied on the massive influx of capital and the rapid development of industry to absorb rural labor. They had no means of production but were free from constraints and could easily become factory workers.
But in the Western Region, the conditions of the Northern Region obviously do not exist. In such a slave region, if the previous shackles are not completely broken and the production relations are not changed, it will always be the same cycle.
For myself, I didn't want to spend too much time on the Western Regions. It would be enough to liberate the slaves and stop them from starving. At the same time, I would be supported by the grassroots people, and my plans would be easier to accomplish.
Over there, Shitou Luo was a little excited and was about to leave, but Lu Ming called him again.
Xiangsha Shimi's pretty face was full of surprise, "General Manager, are you going to impose martial law here?"
Lu Ming nodded slightly, "The villages in Hunhuo Luo Autonomous Region are the poorest, and I want to bring real changes here. Well, it's good that you came. I was going to Baihuo Fort as well." He turned to Shitou Luo and said, "I will transfer an infantry company to assist you, and you will temporarily serve as the military control director of the pilot project."
"Me?" Shitou Luo was dumbfounded. He was the chief of a small police station with eight people. In the police security team system, he was just a squad leader. Now, what kind of director of military control was he going to be, and he would have an infantry company to assist him
Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, it's you. The infantry company is here to help you temporarily. When the people are really mobilized, this infantry company will not be so necessary. In the early stage, it's better to be stable." He said again: "Okay, go ahead!"
Lu Ming turned to look at Xiangsha Shimi, "I will go to Baishui Fort in a few days. It won't take too long. I believe my people can handle things here. When the infantry company comes, I will go to Baishui Fort."
Shi Tou Luo, who was walking out, felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard the chief's words. He gritted his teeth and decided that even if he risked his life, he would not let the chief down.
Xiangsha Shimi hesitated for a moment and said, "General, can I observe here for a few days, and when you leave, I will go with you and accompany you to Baishui Fort."
Lu Ming said, "It's up to you. The conditions here are very bad, and my RV can't accommodate more people."
"It's okay for me. I even pretended to be a beggar many years ago." Xiangsha Shimi smiled.
…
This village of several thousand people suddenly became panic-stricken, and the atmosphere was full of tension and fear. Although those who were arrested were former Baiyi masters, the people at the bottom were even more worried.
In addition, there are more than 50 villages in District 61, which actually means there are more than 50 Bayi masters of all sizes. Each village is actually the manor of a Bayi master. Some of the Bayi masters who received the news have escaped and more than 30 of them have been brought back to Bahuo City.
Shitou Luo came forward to explain the redemption policy to them and also posted notices in Bahuo City.
The police station’s loudspeakers broadcast the new policy of the martial law pilot from morning to night every day.
Every evening, the villagers were gathered and Chief Bit personally came forward to answer their questions.
Xiangsha Shimi was observing from the side, secretly frightened. It seemed like the situation had changed suddenly, but looking at Chief Bit's orderly progress, it was obvious that it had been planned in advance and he seemed to be very familiar with it.
A few days later, Lu Ming received a telegram from the First Control Home Headquarters. It was a telegram sent by Admiral Dönitz himself, asking him what he was doing.
Obviously, the local dignitaries got wind of the news and people were panicking. The Sonyans had ruled here for many years, and many dignitaries in the Western Regions had connections with the world. Now they have reported their actions to the upper level.
Lu Ming said that although the upper class in the Western Region had been reshuffled, if major surgery was not done in the poor villages, the mobs who could not get enough food would rebel sooner or later. Therefore, he learned from the practices of the Han Kingdom in some areas of the Northern Region in its early years, and in a more gentle way.
Talked about the idea of redemption system.
He also said that by this means, the lowest classes of people in the Western Regions could be gradually won over and made close to the United Kingdom, etc.
General Dönitz said nothing more.
