Chapter 349 349. Mo Hao's resume (first update)
"Mo Hao, Captain of the First Infantry Division."

"I have participated in the 'Tegen Breakout', the 'Gendong Counterattack', the 'Millennium City Annihilation', the 'Hart Pursuit', the 'Moon Wheel Siege', and the 'Hundred Days' Protracted War'."

The boss looked at the fat man calmly, compared the resume in his hand, and told the most ridiculous facts in the calmest voice.

"He has fought behind enemy lines sixty-eight times."

"Complete the decapitation mission thirty-nine times."

"There was no supplies, no support, and I had to complete the mission all by myself."

When he heard this, the fat man couldn't help but shudder. Although he got there by bribery, it was also a military part. He knew very well what such a resume meant.

"Once awarded the First Class White Moon Medal..."

The boss stopped reading just after the beginning. If he read out the half-page honors record, he would have to stop doing anything else for several minutes.

When he read this, the boss couldn't hold back any longer, "Letting such a dangerous butcher return to the city, are the leaders full of shit?"

He didn't care at all that there were other people in the office. After he knew that his subordinates were assigned the task of settling Mo Hao, he knew that he couldn't escape the responsibility of this matter.

For people like them, or for all people in similar positions, the most troublesome thing is to encounter someone who has just come down from the battlefield but is intact.

That means they have to face a ruthless killing machine. The more impressive the opponent's resume is, the more frightened they will be.

In the eyes of his boss, this soldier who came back from the battlefield with a magnificent resume was definitely the second person he least wanted to meet.

"Damn it, why didn't he die on the battlefield?" The boss scratched his hair irritably as he was already losing his position, looking extremely annoyed.

No one can remain calm when they know that their superiors have given them a time bomb.

"I remember the 1st Infantry Division is still in Nimran. Why did he come back?"

The boss asked.

"The information doesn't go into detail, it just says it's post-traumatic stress syndrome." The fat man was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "He came down from the battlefield in Phyllisd."

Phyllisde, a place that was not well-known in the past, attracted much attention until a year ago, and almost all countries knew about this place.

Of course, others know this place better by its nickname: the meat grinder.

The number of people involved in the war reached three million, with more than one and a half million casualties, and four armies lost their numbers as a result of the fighting.

A veritable hell of flesh and blood.

It is said that a military reporter went to interview the situation and went crazy within a month.

Suddenly, the boss seemed to remember something, opened the drawer and looked for a report he had seen before. After a long time, he found a report at the bottom of a drawer that had not been opened for a long time.

The report was not very detailed. For a rear-line person like him, there was only one sentence on it:

The 1st Infantry Division entered Felice two years ago, and three months later, the division was disbanded.

The fat man also saw what was in the report, and his face turned pale and lost all the color.

A soldier who came back from the hell of the meat grinder, a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome...

This is undoubtedly the guy at the top of the list that the boss doesn't want to deal with.

Even the boss who got promoted through the back door couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

If this kind of person suddenly has a mental breakdown one day...

The consequences are simply unbearable to contemplate.

The boss glared at the fat man fiercely, "So just because you didn't receive any bribes, you let this kind of person keep an eye on the radical groups and let him try to guide the radical groups to break the law? Do you know what you are doing?" "I, I... I didn't expect..."

The fat man was really panicked. For him, it was a normal thing to take control of those retired soldiers who returned to the city due to injuries or various reasons.

But it is obvious that this time is different, the degree of danger is different.

And there is a huge difference between what he understands as radical groups breaking the law and what the other side understands as breaking the law.

He thought that it might just encourage the skilled workers to fight, rob, or even destroy public property.

But what Mo Hao was thinking of was most likely a bloodbath in Congress.

“Yes, you didn’t expect it, but now you know the consequences”

The boss looked at the fat man with naked murderous intent that was not concealed at this moment.

……

Is this a depressed city, or is it the current environment that is depressed?
This was the opinion Mo Hao came to after he rejected the third person who came forward to recommend himself, who was either a newspaper boy or a shoeshine boy.

Most people on the road were in a hurry, walking with their heads down and concentrating on doing so.

There were not many people in front of various shops, except for the food stores where there were long queues.

Listening to the conversations among the people in the queue, it seems that a rumor has spread that soon all food purchases will have to be rationed and limited.

Many families who still have extra money plan to stock up before the rationing system is implemented to avoid being unable to buy later.

However, there were also vague complaints from within the team that the price of food had increased significantly.

A country that has just lost a war and where living conditions may become increasingly worse.

Mo Hao saw the news of the defeat from the newspaper in the reporting office. The headline was that the [Leinigman Empire] signed a defeat treaty and paid compensation to various countries.

The news did not mention the specific amount of compensation, but I think it will not be too low.

Obviously, this compensation will most likely be borne by the citizens.

"Why does this environment look so familiar? Will the banks start printing excessive amounts of money next?"

Over-printing of currency will only cause currency depreciation, and materials will not increase with the increase of currency.

Eventually there will be inflation.

Mo Hao walked aimlessly on the street. The closer he got to the city center, the more people there were on the street. Judging from their clothes, they all came from wealthy families.

Cars began to drive on the road, and from time to time, noble ladies or young aristocratic women would stop and get out of the cars.

He was not in a hurry to carry out any mission, but instead planned to familiarize himself with the city's environment.

He also doubted whether the bag of coins given by the fat man was enough for three days of food.

As a car slowly pulled over and a young girl got out, Mo Hao suddenly felt a murderous aura.

The murderous aura was not directed at him, but at the car not far ahead.

A premeditated assassination.

The target was not Mo Hao, so he had no intention of getting involved.

But this thought lasted until he saw the face of the girl who got out of the car. The girl was none other than Xiyue, who had lost contact.
