There were more patrol police on the streets of Whitefire Castle.
The loudspeaker of the only patrol car of the 72nd Police Station broadcast an announcement that martial law had begun in the city.
Of course, the radio station also began broadcasting the announcement of the newly established "Military Control Commission" in a loop starting early this morning.
Police officers were originally stationed in various offices within the City Hall for supervision, but unexpectedly, the vast majority of City Hall officials went on strike in protest, and the three floors of the City Hall became empty, with only three or two police officers wandering around on each floor.
Even though she took the lead in establishing the Military Control Commission under the name of Xiangsha Shimi, it was obvious that she did not sincerely call on government workers to return to work.
At the same time Lu Ming received the call from Denitz, a plane flew in from Hunhuo City.
Although there is no railway line in White Fire Castle, there is a small airport built there. Of course, it is an airport that can only accommodate small propeller planes, and large jet planes definitely cannot land.
The Prime Minister of the Hunhuo Luo Autonomous Region, Heifeng Luo, the Speaker of the Parliament, Duozhi Luo, and several dignitaries took the plane to Baihuo Castle, hoping to help coordinate and resolve the "White Fire Castle Crisis."
Philip, the deputy speaker of the autonomous region who was born in Whitefire Castle, also returned to his hometown.
As one of the core power figures at the autonomous region level, Philip is the spiritual leader of the Whitefire Castle populist organization.
But after he was named Sonia, they became very close friends, and he even asked his friends to call him by Sonia when they talked privately.
Therefore, people gradually called him Philip, and his original Western name gradually became unknown.
Lu Ming noticed Philip's unfriendly attitude when he first arrived in Hunhuo City.
Philip obviously has a close relationship with Xiangshashimi. From the time he came to Xiangshashimi's manor, he seemed very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here, so he must have come here often before.
After meeting those who came to persuade them to reconcile, Lu Ming turned them away, obviously having made up his mind.
The autonomous region’s Prime Minister Heifeng Luo and the Speaker of the Parliament Duozhi Luo had no choice but to fly back to Hunhuo City.
Philip seemed to remain.
…
There are ten brand new police cars parked in the yard of the 72nd Police Station, plus the original one, for a total of eleven.
Among them were eight sedans and three nine-seater minibuses, also known as assault vehicles.
In addition, there are twenty three-wheeled sidecar motorcycles.
Police cars are the most popular type in Donghai today. Basically all patrol police are in police cars. Three-wheeled sidecar motorcycles have been eliminated, let alone bicycle patrol police.
In large cities in the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of England, police stations also have a high rate of police cars.
But in the Western Regions, in some small cities, patrol police still rely entirely on walking, and bicycles are not popular.
Although Baishuibao is the second largest city in Hunhuo Luo, it has always been relatively poor, so patrol police mainly rely on bicycles.
The only police car is standard equipment for a police station with a hundred police officers, and it is a mandatory requirement of the Police Guard Corps.
There was originally only one three-wheeled motorcycle, which was basically the mount of Director Yan Luo.
And now, suddenly, the weapon has been upgraded.
They were all driven directly from Nile City, including several armored personnel carriers of the General Guard, which were also sent here.
These vehicles were originally intended to be equipped to the General Police Department, but now Lu Ming has allocated them.
Eleven police cars and twenty-one police sidecar motorcycles took to the streets, boosting the morale of the police officers. In the past few days, more and more demonstrators had gathered in front of the city hall, but some of them dispersed. Although there were still many people living in tents, it was obvious that the daily increase had become a negative number, unlike the data of the previous few days, when the number of people increased rapidly every day, and it seemed that it was about to reach the point of an outbreak.
These vehicles naturally had a great deterrent effect.
Cigarette Luo no longer dared to use the sidecar motorcycle as a private car for personal purposes.
In fact, from this point of view, Lu Ming was quite satisfied. At least at the beginning, Cigarette Roll Luo did not dare to occupy the only police car in the police station, which showed that the discipline of the Police Guard Corps was still implemented.
…
Lu Ming was sitting in the passenger seat of a police car with its lights flashing.
The police officer who was driving, Dahei Luo, was very nervous. Although the police station originally had only one police car, many police officers still took the opportunity to learn how to drive, which was also a plus point in the police officer evaluation.
The two police officers in the back seat, Sanhuo Luo and Lujiao Luo, were also very nervous.
No one could have imagined that the chief would personally patrol with them.
Although the General Administration has always stipulated that all police officers need to have a certain amount of patrol time, even the chiefs of each branch office are required to patrol with front-line police officers one day each month. This is called the "Officer Patrol Plan," and police officers score their temporary senior police partners according to the patrol rules.
But they never dreamed that the chief would patrol with them.
Lu Ming was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also thinking about the "Police Patrol Plan". In fact, the earliest one was the East China Sea model, and the Northern Territory further improved its rules and regulations. However, if it is a society where officials are the most important, these things will eventually become a formality, and it is better not to do them. But under a healthy system, it is very important for commanders to be familiar with the front-line procedures, so as not to sit in the office for too long and gradually forget the basic needs of police officers, and forget how to deal with citizens.
In the Western Regions, this plan became a bit of a formality, as could be seen from the timid silence of several police officers in the car.
In the first-tier enlightened cities of Donghai and the North Territory, on patrol days, some senior police officers forget how to patrol and make some basic mistakes, and it is inevitable that they will be teased by the police. Of course, it is only on that day. It is still necessary to clearly distinguish between superiors and subordinates in the military and police, but this clear distinction is for the purpose of enforcing orders, not for subordinates to fear the power of their superiors.
The police car was driving slowly in the streets and alleys, and radio reports from other vehicles and motorcycle patrols could be heard from inside the car. The introduced Northern Territory 10-code system, including the East China Sea and the United Kingdom, also introduced this police system. Nowadays, police radio calls are not so convenient, and the 10-code can solve this problem well.
"Boss, there's a shop in front. I should stop the car and ask about the situation." Dahei Luo said cautiously.
Lu Ming nodded: "Follow your daily routine."
Da Hei Luo said, "Yes, we used to patrol this neighborhood on foot and would go into this store."
Lu Ming nodded.
This store is located in a prominent position at a small intersection. If there are any suspicious people or things, there may be witnesses. In addition, as it is a small grocery store, it must be the place with the most gossip in this neighborhood.
Dahei Luo stopped the car in front of the shop, Sanhuo Luo and Lujiao Luo got out, but unexpectedly, the director also opened the car door and walked out leisurely.
Several people were shocked.
The Chief said today that it was "Officer Patrol Day", the last day of the month, so he could only complete his patrol duties in this branch.
This was something that none of the police officers had expected. It turned out that the chief was one of them? He also had to patrol once a month
Originally, "Chief General" was just a lofty concept and should be the most powerful person in the entire Western Region. Now he suddenly realized that the Chief General was one of his own, one of his own people, and the commander-in-chief of his own people.
At that time, the chief wanted to select a police car to follow the patrol, and everyone was very excited.
It can be said that at this moment, the feeling of the chief in the minds of all the police officers in the police station is completely different.
But if they really become the lucky ones, they can't help feeling worried. Not to mention that Whitefire Castle is very unstable and undercurrents are surging, if the commander-in-chief is verbally offended by something, then they will be guilty of a great sin.
However, the general got out of the car and wanted to follow him into the grocery store. Dahei and the others looked at each other and did not dare to stop him.
When several people were accompanying the general manager to the grocery store, a figure suddenly rushed out from the alley.
