Chapter 225 The Folk Patriotic Upsurge (2 in 1)(1/2)

It happened to be three o'clock that afternoon, several soldiers who used shuttles to intercept nuclear warheads returned from the surface and returned to Earth Age, these soldiers were treated like heroes!

Many people blocked the gates of the living area and spontaneously greeted the soldiers.

This kind of enthusiasm is simply a farewell. Even though the flowers in the spaceship are very expensive, they are still sold out crazy!

This time, the award ceremony for the "first-class hero" and "second-class hero" 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.

Various official reporters and self-media reporters lined up on the sidelines, and the flashes flashed like a desperate situation. The three soldiers won the first-class medal, and the observation from the rear, and the computing team won the second-class medal. Without these computing personnel, it would be impossible to intercept the nuclear bomb with a shuttle alone, so these staff members also made contributions.

These soldiers solemnly took over the medals and medals, with a serious expression, and a solemn international song rang out in the venue.

Zhang Yuan stood aside and watched, applauding, but he only won a second prize. Although he also made great contributions, it can even be said that he came up with a temporary plan, which was even more important than these soldiers, but he was already at this level, and there was no need to compete with the soldiers for merit. Just win a second prize.

"salute!"

"The ceremony is over!"

There were cheers and applause in the playground.

Looking at so many enthusiastic people, the shuttle driver Li Junkang was a little fluttering. Because of this first-class medal, the entire life trajectory would undergo tremendous changes and he stood out from the group all at once.

It is not impossible to move to a higher position in management in the future.

He saw that there were many girls in the audience with admiration in their eyes, and his whole body was almost floating.

But after glanced at Chief Guo who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, he immediately looked stern. The difficulties of the entire civilization have not yet passed, and all personal problems should be put aside... Yes, that should be done.

A beautiful female reporter had handed the microphone in front: "Hello, I am Ji Jingjing, a reporter from Deep Space Daily..."

"Hello, reporter Ji." Li Junkang saluted.

"First of all, the first question I want to ask is, are you scared and scared when you perform your mission? After all, it is very, very difficult to intercept ultra-high-speed missiles with this kind of civil shuttle... Even laymen like me will find it very difficult. There is no weapon loaded on it at all. Is the solution to intercept with a speed reduction parachute temporarily thought out?"

In fact, all the conversations were passed in advance. When Li Junkang remembered his task, his Adam's apple suddenly moved, and he tried to make his head clearer. If he was embarrassed in such a place, he would probably never be able to raise his head for the rest of his life.

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

"But after setting off, I instantly forgot these fears... Because Heng is dead, and Xu is dead, it is better to die horizontally and die after completing the mission!"

"As for the interception plan with a speed reduction parachute, it was thought of by Minister Zhang of the Ministry of New Civilization Development. Fortunately, we implemented it well... It did not disappoint everyone's expectations."

A kind laughter sounded in the venue. If you say you are not afraid at all, it is simply a violation of human nature. This makes it more real and quickly closer to the audience.

As for Mr. Zhang from the Department of New Civilization Development, everyone knows that he is the most prestigious person in the spacecraft. It is no longer surprising that the people have come up with a good idea.

"I heard that you are from the Xia Guo peacekeeping team on Earth, is that true?"

"Yes! But that's already the past!"

“Have you ever performed some missions on Earth?”

Li Junkang thought for a while and spit out a bunch of them: "When we were on Earth, we did perform some tasks. The entire team had obtained third-class merit 5 times and second-class merit 1 time... It was the contribution of the entire team, not personal merit."

"When you were performing this mission, the intercepted nuclear bomb suddenly exploded. How did you escape from death? That is a nuclear bomb... means the most violent destructive power in nature."

At this moment, Major Guo, who was standing aside, responded: "In space, the nuclear bomb exploded with its power different from what we imagined."

"Nuclear bombs, including hydrogen bombs and helium-3 bombs, are just conventional weapons in interstellar wars. Exploding in space will not produce shock waves, nor will there be mushroom clouds, so if you don't explode closely, your lethality will not be too strong."

Immediately afterwards, a video was played on the big screen on the square, about common sense about interstellar wars and the current progress in various weapons research. Earth civilization once broke out in interstellar civil wars, so the new civilization has experience in this area.

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 cannot be produced at all. Anyway, let's put it on first.

According to the subconscious of the people at present, the advanced heritage of the earth civilization is all new civilizations. Since the earth civilization can be created, the new civilization can be created too... as long as there is enough time.

Although there is suspicion of exaggeration, these conceptual weapons invisibly eliminate the panic of the people.

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

"So, what we humans lack is only time!"

"Please don't worry. If we can fight for a long time, we will become stronger and stronger. The balance of victory is on the side of mankind!"

"Sir Guo, is there anything else to tell everyone?" It was almost time for the reporter to ask the last question, and the most important one.

Next is the highlight...

Major Guo smiled with a "simple" look: "After I received the first-class merit, we had two days of vacation to relax ourselves. But now the war is not over yet, and today we will return to the military camp and receive regular training!"

"Then you guys are really working hard." The beautiful female reporter said in cooperation.

Major Guo said again: "When I passed by the supermarket just now, I found that many daily necessities inside were stolen. It may be because everyone has insufficient security and lacks confidence."

"Why is there insufficient sense of security? The main responsibility is to put it on us soldiers. Our army is not strong enough to bring you enough security."

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

Hearing this, many people at the scene began to be in a big stir, some were red and red in shame, and left quietly. Some people began to curse, saying that they had endured this matter for too long.

As for the food distributed, as long as people with a little IQ, they will definitely not dare to ask for it.

The keyboard warriors on the Internet took this opportunity to quickly start squirting. Many people have already disliked this matter and started to sarcastically. ::

"It's so good, so touched. Our Jun brother would rather be hungry than let the people behind enjoy a beautiful petty bourgeois life!"

"...I wonder if there are any girls hiding behind when the war is flying ahead and willing to sing a song with me? I have stored a lot of goods at home, enough for the two of them to enjoy for a year!"

"The business girl does not know the hatred of the country's destruction, but she still sings the back garden flowers across the river..."

There are photos posted online, which are brutal scenes of everyone rushing to buy goods in a crazy way. In order to protect privacy, some mosaics were also made.

The ridicule between intellectuals is also extremely sharp, and there are also some very rough words of these trolls in the middle.

For example, "After losing the battle, men treat it as food, women can provide extra services to aliens and still live a better life..."

Especially for irritable guys like Xu Jie, he is so excited that he can't squirt in all kinds of high-end blackmails, he can only squirt in low-end!

As a result, due to the messy abusive statements, the account was banned again and had to pay a bail to be unblocked.

But after paying the bail, he started to squirt again. He typed a string of words on the computer: "This group of people have become human beings and lackeys. It is recommended that the government departments conduct a thorough investigation!!"

I just feel good, very happy!

An inventory is of course impossible, because the crowds participating in the rush to buy account for at least one-quarter of the total population, and even more!

With so many people, it is useless to find out. It is impossible to be judged one by one and be imprisoned in prison, right? Then the entire industrial system will be paralyzed directly, and according to the current law, it is difficult to truly characterize how much you buy is guilty.

I don’t know what’s going on. The government departments, which usually act very quickly, were slowing down in this explosive public opinion frenzy, without any intention of restraining these online mobs. Now facing a war, everyone is very busy. Who has time to restrain these online mobs?

All kinds of rough remarks lasted for two days. Under the overwhelming pressure of public opinion, no one dared to go to the supermarket to rush to buy them. Even buying a bag of instant noodles was trembling, for fear that someone would take photos and put them online, which would cause a fight of verbalism.

People have to spontaneously reduce their quality of life.

Of course, this spontaneous patriotic craze cannot last long, but the resources saved are enough to maintain current prices and enough government departments to formulate the next plan.

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

Due to the uncertainty of the prospects of war, the face interest rate of such bonds is not high, with an interest rate of about 4.5% per year, which is indeed pitifully low compared to the economic growth rate of more than 30% last year.

Moreover, there are many restrictions on bonds. You have to buy them for three years. You need to apply for cashing in advance, which will lose some interest, etc.

But there was still a huge buying frenzy among the people, and even the purchased web pages were temporarily paralyzed!

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

From an economic perspective, by implementing a quantitative supply system for consumer goods during the war, the people had nowhere to consume even if they had money, and large-scale looting would 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 interest of 4.5% can still outperform inflation. Moreover, if humans are really defeated, the interest will be useless. Even if the interest of up to 250% is turned into a piece of waste paper.

Most importantly, these bonds can recover a large amount of money in the hands of the people. As the people's hands become less money, they will naturally be able to live more difficult and give way to the entire social productivity to the required weapons production.

It is unsustainable to spontaneously maintain a tight life, but when the working capital in your hands is replaced by bonds, you generally have no money in your hands, so everyone can only live a little more difficult life. Even if the original materials and prices no longer change, the number of people who buy them will be greatly reduced.

Of course, war bonds are not based on citizens' patriotic enthusiasm. They provide a channel for ordinary people to express their patriotic enthusiasm.

Under the current public opinion context, the first 5 billion bonds were sold out quickly, and the purchase of bonds became a new fashion and even a symbol of noble character.

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

Many people even have a little dissatisfied with their desires and leave messages online that "I didn't buy it, and I was scolded by my wife" and "I didn't grab it, and I didn't have face." So there are more than one or two such people.

As a result, the government released a second batch of 5 billion war bonds, which took a day to buy them all!

The third batch of 2 billion bonds took about three days to complete the sale.

At this time, the deposits in the hands of residents had basically been squeezed out. A former tycoon like Xu Jie, who had a total of 150,000 yuan in savings, frantically bought 140,000 yuan in bonds, leaving only 10,000 yuan as working capital. His life was tight and he never had much spare money to buy light luxury goods. He even had to think about eating instant noodles.

Faced with this economic depression, speculator Wang Junpeng felt cold in his heart. At first, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make some money, but he didn't know that it would cause such a big uproar!

If he had known in advance, he would not have done such a thing. And so many goods he had stockpiled so far that he could not sell them at all...

Because all the spare money in everyone's hands has been exchanged for bonds, various consumption is not ordinary sluggish, and the imagined price increase has not arrived...

So, what should I do now?

All the people I knew were speculative businessmen, and they all started to speak without saying a word, as if they didn't know each other. This feeling of dark clouds and disaster was coming, even if the government did not take more actions, this crazy public opinion environment was enough to make people feel broken.

"Xiao Wang, I will sell the goods I stockpiled to you cheaper. Do you want it?"

Suddenly, the phone rang and sent a text message.

Wang Junpeng's face was gloomy and sunny. This huge pressure began to panic some speculators... The more supplies they store, the more panic they will be. Some people have begun to unable to withstand the pressure and want to sell.

"How much?"
To be continued...
