215 Take over the city
For Eilena, who suddenly obtained two provinces, the biggest problem now is that it is actually that there are not enough people who are capable and trustworthy to manage these cities. Moreover, because of the heavy losses in the early guard battle of Eilena, Eilena did not have enough troops to maintain the public order in these cities. In this case, Gastens and the members of the Communist Party's Council discussed an emergency solution. Relying on the residual power of the thundercloud storm released by Gastens, they sent only about one hundred working groups to take over the city. Maintaining and managing the security of the city mainly depends on the people left behind. In the eyes of the Communist Party's Council, their Eilena's political propositions and ideas had already spread in Ankenrien. The great nobles and capitalists who thought they would be eliminated by them had already found their own way and left these cities. What they left behind,
Most of them are not the objects that revolution must be eliminated, and their acceptance of revolution is naturally higher than before the war. The working groups they sent out should be properly mobilized to maintain the stability of cities and society. After Elena completed the preliminary military system reform and sent corresponding troops to complete the construction of the defense system of the two provinces, they would thoroughly clean up counter-revolutionaries and comprehensively promote the revolution. Based on this concept and to test the feasibility of this method, Elena sent three working groups in the first phase to take over the three cities near Elena. The working group led by Garronth Warren concentrated Elena's army, industry, agriculture, and economic talents. If the progress goes well, this team will become the core force of many subsequent teams, and promote this takeover model in the two provinces.
The meal with Moon City Police Chief Vanessa Tyre in the Sky Restaurant was quite smooth. Garrons did not move Vanessa's core power, and Vanessa did not stop Elena's people from taking over the management of the city. On the contrary, he also sent almost all police forces to help Garrons take over the city's government. In just one day, the working group brought by Garrons made the once paralyzed city government re-operate.
Of course, there is not much to do when it comes to re-operation. The most important security part of the city is due to Vanessa, and there is no big problem. The municipal vault, as Garrons expected, was evacuated most of the property accounts and records. Garrons has a six-person team under him who is responsible for cleaning up these materials. More people are concentrated on the sorting of the citizens' property records. To distinguish who are capitalists, big landlords, bureaucrats or nobles, who are poor people and proletariats, the most direct way is to distinguish the government's property records. These property records include land, real estate, and bank deposits. However, banks, like municipal vaults, have been moved almost the same, and what is left to Garrons and others is just a somewhat desolate city.
"Mayor Garrons" followed Garrons and brought thirty-six soldiers to the company commander Bret Warren, the first company of the 3rd Regiment of the Production Brigade. He followed Ivan to break the back on Mount Lo, and was lucky to see the thundercloud storm in Gastens, and survived the battle. After the battle, he survived the battle like him. Veterans from the production brigade and guerrilla brigades became treasures. In order to train him, Ivan sent him to Garrons and gave him a company commander. Although Bret Warren was a little nervous, he still took over the task and followed Garrons to Moon City.
"What's wrong?"
Garrons raised his head and stopped the pen in his hand. He was writing a notice for all the citizens of Moon City. Although the public security in Moon City is now under control, the citizens do not know what their new government is going to do. If he does not spread the basic ruling proposition as soon as possible, he will be worried about some chaos.
"Will that Vanessa manage public order? What if he doesn't listen to us or does something behind his back, what should we do? Wouldn't we be very passive?"
Brett's worries are normal. As a revolutionary, he naturally has a sense of distrust of these old forces. He hopes to control public security in his own hands rather than giving public security to an untrustworthy person.
"The Chairman said this." Garrons put down his pen and knew that Brett's concern was not an isolated case. "When we were at Elena, we were revolutionaries around us, and many things were easy to carry out. But no matter how many people there were in Elena, how many people could there be? When we walked out of Elena and went to contact more cities and people, you will find that most people had very limited understanding of the revolution. We also hope to control all links in the hands of people who can trust, but in fact this is impossible. To promote the revolution to victory, on the one hand, we must let as many people as possible accept the revolution, and on the other hand, we must also learn to get along with people who are not comrades for the time being, mobilize their enthusiasm, and dispel them.
Our doubts make them a support rather than a resistance to the revolution. This process is a very difficult process, but it is a process that we must go through. A person like Vanessa can tell at a glance that he will not accept the revolution in a short time. However, since he can stay and help us manage urban security well, it means that he is a person who can become a support for the revolution. Such a person is not necessarily a believer in the revolution, nor is it necessarily our comrades. However, if the revolution is to win, we also need such a person. Do you know? After all, every one more supporter we will have less opponents. When there are few enough opponents, we will naturally achieve the victory of the revolution. Do you understand?"
What Garrons told Brett was also what Gastens once said to him. Although it cannot be repeated in the original text, the general meaning remains unchanged. Although Brett did not understand it very much, he could understand it. He thought about it for a while and made his own summary of Garrons' long speech.
"So we use him first, and when our strength is full, we will replace him?"
"Swap him, or accept him into the revolutionary ranks." Garrons smiled slightly. Although there were so many problems and difficulties facing the city of Moon, Garrons was relieved to see Brett and his comrades beside him so motivated and studious.
"Oh, I get it, then what have I done during this period? We only have thirty-six soldiers, and we can actually do only a limited amount of things."
"No, you can do a lot," Garrons looked at the Thunder Steam Rifle in Bret's hand. "We will announce our ownership strategy to this city tomorrow. It is related to whether we can be accepted by this city. You and your guards will maintain order with the police in Vanessa at that time, and you can even use force when necessary. Moreover, that plan also requires your guarantee."
"I understand," Breit nodded, "I will do this whether it is that plan or maintaining public order!"
"Yeah, thank you!"
Garrons nodded and continued to write his own announcement. As he told Brett, the management and property rights strategy of the city determines whether they succeed in taking over the city. The core of the city lies in people. If the citizens of this city are resistant to their policies or even strongly resist them, then they can only do ideological work slowly besides conquering by force. And now, Garrons does not feel that Elena has time to do this water grinding time.
So, the first shot must be shot well.
——————————————
On the third day of coming to Moon City, Garrons Warren, Brett Warren and the vast majority of their working group held a publicity meeting in the Civic Square in Moon City. The citizens who heard the news were somewhat cringe-willed around the publicity meeting, and were clearly distanced from Garrons and others standing in the center of the square. Their eyes were both expectation and doubt. As the city closest to Elena, they had heard a lot of rumors about Elena and knew the status of those living in Elena. However, Elena town is still different from Moon City after all. How will these people from Elena manage Moon City? Will they share their communist and wife like the propaganda of the nobles before?
"Dear masses, all the people, my name is Garrons Warren. I am the leader of the Elena City Takeover Team and the leader of the service for you in the future. If you have any problems in the next time, you can come to the municipal government to find us at any time. As long as it is reasonable demands and problems, we will solve them as much as possible. Today, I hope to introduce our city policies to you, and there will be some people who say that we are communist and wife, and some people who say that we are bandits and bullies. Today, and in the days to come, I will prove to you with facts that our Elena revolutionaries are definitely not unreasonable bandits and bullies, nor are vampires and exploiters like those nobles. We are poor people from the bottom like you, our government is the government of the people, the government of the people, and everyone's government. I hope everyone can give us a chance to prove ourselves!"
Garrons was already trying to make a loud sound and also using iron amplification equipment, but even so, when his words reached the edge of the square, it became blurred. Because they could not hear clearly, the people around him gradually gathered together and began to listen carefully to Garrons's narration. After all, unlike the big capitalists and the big nobles who had escaped, the people who stayed there were small nobles, small bureaucrats, as well as the people, workers, small citizens and handicraftsmen. Their future destiny in this city depends to a large extent on the policies of the Elena government.
"This time we took over the city, we also received strong support from Director Vanessa. He will unconditionally support our work in the next process. At the same time, we have also brought our own troops to deal with the harsh situations that may occur. However, please believe that we Ailena is a revolutionary army and a people's army. Our gun will never be aimed at our people, but only at the enemies of the people!"
The masses in the square were silent. When they heard Garance's words, they also thought of the suspected great magician standing behind Elena. They were in awe of that power and knew in their hearts that even if these people do whatever they want in this city and are lawless, they probably would not be able to resist. However, people have a yearning for a better life. If Elena can really be the government of the people as they said, it would be a better thing for those who stay in this city.
"Next, I will introduce our basic policies to you." Garrons knew that time was limited, and he was not a person who liked to talk nonsense. "The first is about our enemies. Our enemies are the enemies of the people, and everyone present. We are new to us, and we are not familiar with this city, and we do whatever we want to harm the people. Dear people, what are the grievances, what are the injustice, what are the needs of us to uphold justice, stand up at any time, and our police and soldiers, and uphold justice for you at any time!"
The people who heard the words in the field were slightly turbulent. There were disputes in places where there were people. Although Moon City was not big, the dirty and turbid below the city was not less than other cities. Moreover, these people who lived on the dark side were not afraid of Ailena. After the news that Ailena wanted to take over Moon City came, they did not run away. In their opinion, it was not important who was the owner of this city. No matter who it was, no matter who it was, could not move them. Even if they wanted to move them, they could not find them. Moreover, as long as they provoked them, they could make the city extremely chaotic and even disgusted those in power. For these people, their means had no bottom line, only price issues. As long as they were unhappy, they would let these ignorant people in power know who was the owner of this city.
"Are you saying true?!"
In the crowd, someone shouted loudly. The people around him consciously gave up his position. He was a thin young man wearing cheap and somewhat damaged clothes, and he was obviously the lower class.
"What I said must be true, this crowd! Vanessa and Bret behind me will prove it with their weapons."
"Okay, if you are really the people's government, and if you really make the decision for us as you said, then you will arrest Eight Finger Johnny first, and we will believe you!"
"Eight Finger Johnny!"
A low scream sounded in the crowd, and many people even covered their mouths in horror and looked around. Eight-finger Johnny was a nightmare existence in Moon City. He controlled more than 70% of the underground industries in Moon City, with more than 300 armed brothers under his command, and even dozens of guns. Many people in this city have been bullied by him or his forces. They collected protection fees, forced to buy and sell, issued usury, forced poor families to death, and even forced good people to do slaves. Johnny had done all the illegal things, and Johnny did most of the illegal things. No one would disagree with saying that Eight-finger Johnny was the underground emperor of this city.
"Is it like Eight Finger Johnny? I remember it!"
Garrons nodded and exchanged a look with the young man.
"What's your name, this brave young man? I will definitely prove our policy with my actions!"
"My name is Divala Rom. If you can kill Eight Finger Johnny, I will believe you!"
Chapter completed!
