Deep Space Fleet

Exactly at three o'clock in the afternoon that day, several soldiers who intercepted the nuclear warhead with the shuttle returned from the surface, and when they returned to the Earth Era, these soldiers were treated like heroes!

Many people crowded in front of the gate of the living area, spontaneously welcoming the soldiers.

This kind of enthusiasm is like a farewell, even though the flowers in the spaceship are very expensive, they are sold out like crazy!

This time, the awards ceremony for the "First Class Heroes" and "Second Class Heroes" is quite grand. It is not only a commendation of meritorious ministers, but also an inspiring war mobilization, so a large number of ordinary people are allowed to participate.

All kinds of official reporters and self-media reporters lined up on the sidelines, and the flashes flickered like desperately. The three soldiers won the first-class medal, and the observation and calculation team in the rear won the second-class medal. Without these calculators, it would be impossible to intercept the nuclear bombs with the shuttle alone, so these staff also have credit.

These soldiers received the medals and medals solemnly, with solemn expressions, and the solemn Internationale was played in the venue.

Zhang Yuanzheng stood on the sidelines, watching and applauding with a smile, but he won a second prize. Although he also has a lot of credit, and it can even be said that he came up with a temporary plan, which is more credit than these soldiers, but he is already at this level, and there is no need to compete with the soldiers for the second prize That's it.

"salute!"

"The gift is over!"

There were cheers and applause on the playground.

Looking at so many enthusiastic people, Li Junkang, the driver of the shuttle, was a little smug. Because of the first-class medal this time, the entire trajectory of life will undergo a huge change, and I will stand out from the crowd all at once.

It is not impossible to move towards management or even higher positions in the future.

He saw the look of admiration in the eyes of many girls in the audience, and he almost floated up.

But after glancing at the serious-looking Officer Guo standing in front of him, he immediately put on a straight face. The difficulties of the entire civilization have not yet passed, and all personal issues should be put aside... Yes, that's how it should be.

A beautiful female reporter has already handed the microphone to the front: "Hi, I'm Ji Jingjing, a reporter from Shen Kong Daily..."

"Hello, reporter Ji." Li Junkang saluted.

"First of all, the first question I want to ask is, did you feel fear or fear when you were performing the mission? After all, it is very, very difficult to use this kind of civilian shuttle to intercept ultra-high-speed missiles... Even A layman like me will find it very difficult. There is no weapon loaded on it at all, so the plan to intercept it with a parachute is a temporary idea?"

In fact, all the conversations were passed through in advance. When Li Junkang thought of his mission, his Adam's apple twitched, and he tried to make his head clearer. If you lose face in this kind of place, you probably won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.

He said a little jerky: "Fear...Of course there is! We have never been on a real battlefield at all, and peace has lasted for too long!"

"However, after setting off, I forgot these fears in an instant... Because death is also death horizontally, and death is also death vertically. It is better to die horizontally, and die after completing the mission!"

"As for the plan to intercept it with a parachute, it was thought up by Minister Zhang of the New Civilization Development Department. Fortunately, it was implemented by us well... It did not disappoint everyone's expectations."

There was a sound of good-natured laughter in the venue. It would be against human nature to say that there is no fear at all. On the contrary, it seems more real to say so, and the distance between the audience and the audience is quickly shortened.

As for Mr. Zhang from the New Civilization Development Department, everyone knows that he is a top-level smart person, and he can be said to be the most prestigious person in the spaceship. If you think of a good way, the public will already be familiar with it.

"I heard that you were from the Xia Kingdom Peacekeeping Team on Earth, is that true?"

"Yes! But that's a thing of the past!"

"Have you performed any missions on Earth?"

Li Junkang thought for a while, and then spit out a long list: "When we were on the earth, we did perform some missions. The whole team has won the third-class merit 5 times, and the second-class merit once... It is the contribution of the entire team. Not personal credit."

"When you were performing this mission, the intercepted nuclear bomb suddenly exploded. May I ask how did you escape from death? That is a nuclear bomb...it means the most violent destructive force in nature."

At this time, Major Guo, who was standing aside, answered, "In space, a nuclear bomb explodes in a vacuum, and its power is different from what we imagined."

"Nuclear bombs include hydrogen bombs and helium-3 bombs, but they are just a conventional weapon in interstellar warfare. Exploding in space will not produce shock waves, and there will be no mushroom clouds, so if they do not explode close to the body, the lethality is not too strong. .”

Immediately afterwards, a video was played on the big screen in the square, about the common sense of interstellar warfare, and the current research progress of various weapons. Earth civilization once had an interstellar civil war, so the new civilization has experience in this regard.

There are many conceptual things, such as the powerful helium-hydrogen ion cannon, which are all products of the earth's civilization. The current new civilization can't make it at all, anyway, let's put it on first.

According to the current subconsciousness of the people, the advanced heritage of the earth civilization is all new civilizations. Since the earth civilization can be manufactured, the new civilization can also be manufactured... as long as there is enough time.

Although there are suspicions of exaggeration, these conceptual weapons have virtually eliminated the panic of the public.

After the entire video was played, there was a burst of warm applause in the venue. Many people were whispering to each other, and their confidence in the victory of the war increased a little.

"So, what we humans lack is time!"

"Please don't worry, if we can fight for a long time, we will become stronger and stronger, and the balance of victory is on the side of human beings!"

"Mr. Guo, is there anything else you want to tell everyone?" It was almost time, and the reporter asked the last question, which was also the most important one.

Next is the main event...

Major Guo had a "sincere" smile on his face: "Originally, after obtaining the first-class merit, the few of us had a two-day small vacation to relax ourselves. But the war is not over yet, and today we will return to the barracks for formal training. !"

"Then you are really working hard." The beautiful female reporter said cooperatively.

Major Guo said again: "When I passed by the supermarket just now, I found that many daily necessities inside had been robbed, which may be the reason for everyone's lack of security and lack of confidence."

"Why is there insufficient sense of security? The main responsibility lies with us soldiers. Our army is not strong enough to give everyone a sense of security."

"So, everyone discussed it and decided to give some food from the army to everyone for free... It is our duty to protect the entire civilization, but we also hope that everyone will not overreact and give us a stable rear..."

Hearing this, many people at the scene started to commotion. Some people blushed and felt ashamed and left quietly. Others began to curse. They had endured this matter for too long.

As for the food distributed, anyone with a little IQ would definitely not dare to ask for it.

The keyboard warriors on the Internet took advantage of this opportunity to quickly gossip, and many people already saw this matter as quite unpleasant, and began to sneer.

"It's so good, I'm so touched. Our military brother would rather go hungry than let the people in the rear enjoy a good petty bourgeois life!"

"...I don't know if there are any girls who hide behind and are willing to sing with me when the war is raging ahead? I have a lot of goods at home, enough for two people to enjoy for a year!"

"The business girl doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river..."

Photos were posted on the Internet, which were brutal scenes of people frantically buying goods. In order to protect privacy, some mosaics were also made.

The sarcasm among the intellectuals is also extremely sharp, and there are some very rude words of these trolls in the middle.

For example, what to say, "After the defeat, men are used as food, women can provide extra services for aliens, and still be able to live a good life of their own..."

Especially a violent guy like Xu Jie, who just sprays extremely vigorously. He doesn't know all kinds of high-end hacks, he only knows how to spray low-end!

As a result, the account was banned again because of the messy and abusive statements, and a bail was required to unblock it.

But after he posted his bail, he started spraying again. He typed a series of texts on the computer: "This group of people have become jians and lackeys. It is recommended that the government departments thoroughly investigate!!"

Just feel cool, very cool!

Of course, it is impossible to check, because the people involved in the panic buying accounted for at least a quarter of the total population, or even more!

With such a large number of people, even if they are found out, it is useless. It is impossible to try them one by one and put them all in prison, right? Then the entire industrial system will be directly paralyzed, and according to the current law, it is difficult to really determine how much you buy to be guilty.

I don't know what happened, but the government department, which usually acts very quickly, was a bit slow in this explosive public opinion frenzy, and it didn't have the slightest intention to restrain this group of Internet mobs. Now facing a war, everyone is very busy, who has time to restrain these Internet mobs.

All kinds of rude remarks continued for two days. Under the overwhelming pressure of public opinion, no one dared to go to the supermarket to buy. Even buying a pack of instant noodles is trembling, for fear of being photographed and posted online, causing a spat.

People have to spontaneously reduce the quality of life.

Of course, this kind of spontaneous patriotic upsurge cannot last for a long time, but the resources saved are enough to maintain the current price, and it is enough for the government to make plans for the next step.

Finally, a major economic policy was promulgated: the first phase, a total of 5 billion worth of special war bonds, was sold to the private sector in large quantities!

Due to the uncertainty of the prospect of war, the coupon rate of this bond is not high, about 4.5% per year, compared with the economic growth rate of more than 30% last year, it is indeed pitifully low.

Moreover, there are many restrictions on bonds. Once you buy them, you have to buy a fixed term for three years. You need to apply for early cashing, and you will lose part of the interest, etc...

But there was still a huge buying frenzy among the people, and even the buying webpage was temporarily paralyzed!

After some discussions in internal meetings, the new government converted the original large amount of donations into special war bonds and returned them to many donors.

From the perspective of economics, due to the implementation of the quantitative supply system of consumer goods during the war, ordinary people have nowhere to spend even if they have money, and large-scale looting will only cause inflation.

Therefore, buying war bonds has become a very good investment choice. At least under the current planned economy, the currency usage rate is not high, the inflation rate is easy to control, and the 4.5% interest rate can still outperform inflation. Moreover, if human beings are really defeated, the interest is useless, even if the interest is as high as 250%, it will become a mess of waste paper.

The most important thing is that these bonds can recover a large amount of monetary funds in the hands of the people. With less money in the hands of the people, naturally they can only live in more poverty, giving way to the production of weapons that is needed by the entire social productivity.

It is unsustainable to maintain a poor life spontaneously, but if the liquid funds in the hands are replaced by bonds, there is generally no money in the hands, and everyone can only live a little bit poorly. Even if the price of the original materials does not change, the number of people who buy them will be greatly reduced.

Of course, war bonds are not based on the patriotism of citizens, they provide a channel for ordinary people to express patriotism.

Under the current background of public opinion, the first five billion bonds were sold out quickly, and buying bonds has become a new fashion, and even a symbol of high moral character.

This is 5 billion, shared among the 500,000 people, and each person buys about 10,000 yuan on average. With the current average salary of 2,000, it is equivalent to half a year's salary, which is indeed a lot.

Many people are even a little bit dissatisfied with their desires, leaving messages on the Internet, "I didn't grab it, and I was scolded by my wife", "I didn't grab it, I lost face", etc. There are more than one or two such people.

As a result, the government released a second batch of 5 billion war bonds, which were sold out within a day!

The third batch, two billion bonds, took about three days to be sold.

At this time, the deposits in the hands of residents have basically been squeezed out. A former local tyrant like Xu Jie, with a total of 150,000 deposits, bought 140,000 bonds frantically, leaving only 10,000 yuan as working capital, living a tight life, and no longer has much spare money to buy Light luxury products, even eating instant noodles have to think twice.

Facing this economic depression, speculator Wang Junpeng felt cold. At the beginning, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make some money, and he had no idea that such a big disturbance would be caused!

If he had known in advance, he would not have done such a thing. Moreover, there are so many goods hoarded at present, they can't be sold at all...

Because all the spare money in everyone's hands has been replaced by bonds, all kinds of consumption are not in the usual downturn, and the expected price rise has not come...

So what now?

The people they knew were all speculators, and they began to keep quiet about each other, as if they didn't know each other. Even if the government did not take more action, this kind of crazy public opinion environment is enough to make people feel collapsed.

"Xiao Wang, I'll sell the goods I've hoarded to you at a lower price, do you want to?"

Suddenly, the phone rang and a text message came.

Wang Junpeng's face was cloudy and uncertain. This kind of huge pressure began to make some speculators panic... The more supplies they stockpiled, the more panicked they would be. Some people have begun to be unable to bear the pressure and want to sell.

"How much?"

"25% off, how about?"

After deliberating for a while, Wang Junpeng replied: "I don't have spare money, so I can't afford your money."

"30% off, the lowest price! It's even cheaper than what the government offers, and if it's cheaper, it can still be sold..."

"Forget it, brother Zhao, I really can't eat. I'm almost bankrupt."

What a joke, anyone who dares to take over now is either a lunatic or a fool! A 30% discount is indeed very cheap, but in this public opinion environment and economic environment, it is impossible to sell anything!

Even with a 50% discount, it can't be sold!

If he dared to sell it, he might be beaten to death, that's definitely true!

Wang Junpeng held his head in his hands and buried himself in the blanket, excruciating pain.

Only then did he discover that the new civilization was very different from the earth civilization, and the prestige of the government was already binding and obviously stronger. Moreover, the sense of ownership of the people is gradually awakening.

What is painful is not only the loss of money, but also other things...

In order to make money, I have already broken up with my best friend, and it is still in a state of breaking up. Even if the people around him didn't say it explicitly, they secretly despised him in their hearts and pointed at him.

This matter was all discussed on social networks, and it seemed that someone was accusing him behind his back when walking on the main road, which made him not sleep well for several days.

Lost family, friendship, even made money so what?

"Hold!"

Wang Junpeng jumped up from the bed, paced back and forth in the room, shook his teeth, and made up his mind.

Although this determination made him feel very distressed, but... something can be redeemed.

Donate!

Donate all these things... all!
