The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

Chapter 138: The first step: promoting players who "want to improve"

“Task Name: A towering building rises from the ground

Mission description: People often say, "A brave general must start from the ranks, and a prime minister must start from the state." Another saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day." Any great cause needs to be achieved step by step, and it has been so since ancient times. We may be able to destroy an old order like a whirlwind, but if we cannot replace it with a new order, the chaos brought by the disorder will make our cause fall into the abyss, and we will have to take the "spiral upward" path again.

How to establish a new order requires us to explore through practice. Before this, you have learned how to run a business. Now, we have a brand new opportunity to learn how to run a city. We can boldly make some changes in this city, discover problems, summarize experience, and verify a path forward that is consistent with our business.

Starting from a city, then the state government, and finally the country, corporate warriors, a three-year test prepared for you has begun!

Mission Objectives:

1. Improve the level of public security management in Long Beach and stop the spreading crime (this is your primary goal)

2. Control the ratio of city debt to GDP (too high a debt ratio will make the parliament and citizens doubt your governance ability)

3. Increase the supply of affordable housing (owning your own home is a big part of the American Dream!)

4. Economic Development and Job Opportunities ("Stupid, the fundamental problem is the economy!") Optional Mission Objectives:

1. Infrastructure and public services (Americans seem to have forgotten that they were once a major infrastructure country. We will help them regain this memory and renovate the city’s aging infrastructure!)

2. Public health and medical insurance (seeing a doctor is a "long-standing" problem around the world, but considering that Long Beach is just an ordinary city, conducting some reform pilot projects here may be within your acceptable range)

3. Clean energy plan (you know, clean energy is "politically correct" in California's political spectrum)

Mission Rewards:

1. Open up more player quotas

2. Some technologies from the early 21st century

3. NPC support from Universal Group

4. The pleasure of managing a city...

People expected the newly appointed city manager to immediately bring a "spring breeze" to Long Beach and blow away the increasingly violent crimes, but the city manager who took office on the first day did not seem to be in a hurry to make any bold statements, but just exercised his power to appoint heads of government functional departments as quickly as possible.

In Long Beach, except for the heads of the police department and the fire department who are appointed by the council, all other chiefs can be directly appointed by the city manager. Even in the United States, there is a tradition of "new officials starting with three big moves". For example, in the first 100 days of the US president's presidency, the public generally expects the president to make some big moves, and the various factions in the first days are more cooperative with the president's work, and will not let the president fall into the "power swamp" right away. Similarly, in Long Beach, the intertwined forces are more cooperative with the work of the newly appointed city manager at the beginning, which makes it convenient for Ji Tianping to wholesale "in-system establishment".

Ji Tianping would definitely use this power to the fullest, so that the key departments of Long Beach would be filled with his own people, so that he would not be harassed by various people when promoting any project. Even the chiefs of the police and fire departments, who Ji Tianping could not replace for the time being, would definitely be replaced by his own people after this, and it would only take a process of appointment by the city council.

"Come on, brothers, what should we do if we can't pass the civil service exam in real life? Why not experience the pleasure of being a director in the game first! The top positions I can wholesale now are: Public Works Administration, Planning and Construction Bureau, Health and Human Services Bureau, Housing and Urban Development Bureau, Education and Cultural Affairs Bureau, Finance Bureau, Personnel Management Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Water Bureau, Port Bureau, Planning and Construction Bureau, Audit Bureau, etc. I have received everyone's reply in the post. Ah, brothers, each of you is talented, especially there are a few brothers from Tsinghua and Peking University here? Do you really have time to indulge in games? Don't you need to review your studies and prepare for the central selection?"

"I don't know which guys to choose to be the top leaders of these bureaus now... I, the city manager, was also chosen from three candidates. Let's be democratic among the players. I will post the information of the candidates who replied to the post saying they want to be the director of xx on the forum. I won't post sensitive information like names. I will give everyone three days to vote. Brothers, it's time to vote for your favorite candidates!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't become a director, brothers. Under the director there are section chiefs! And all kinds of government employees... In short, whether you are already working or studying, now you have the opportunity to experience the life of an American civil servant online. Of course, I can't appoint all the public officials in the city. There are still some procedures that need to be followed, such as preparing application materials, taking written tests and interviews... But, brothers, is the written test difficult for you? You control the game character on the computer to answer questions, what is the difference between this and an open-book exam?"

The players who replied to the post are also very happy now. There are many "official fans" in the player community. Even if this is just an official in the game, it is too real and attractive. In addition to those who replied to the post and sent resumes, there are also brothers who just come to have fun and posted screenshots of their cats and dogs in the game, with a sentence: "Manager, can you arrange a position for my pet? Let it also eat a share of the royal food......"

The City Council has been waiting for a whole week, hoping that the City Manager will come up with a complete set of effective solutions to the public security problem, but during this week, the City Manager seems to be only satisfied with placing "trustworthy" people in all government departments. The City Council can no longer sit idly by and watch the City Manager do nothing. The Council notified the City Manager that it hopes to see the City Manager submit a feasible draft plan before the end of next week and start discussion.

"Of course, gentlemen. In fact, my staff is distributing questionnaires throughout the city to collect opinions from Long Beach citizens for my draft..." Ji Tianping replied to the speaker who came to inform him.

"Oh? Oh, really? I didn't know...Okay, Mr. Manager, can I take a look at this questionnaire?"

"Please take a look."

"1. How important do you think a safe city environment is to you and your family? . Are you worried about the increasing number of gang members in the city?

3. Do you think the government should add more street lights in areas that lack lighting at night to reduce safety risks?

4. Many scholars believe that the police should take more efficient measures to prevent crimes in advance, just like the concept of "preventing before illness" proposed by many medical professors in the field of medical health. What do you think of this?

5.xXXXXXXX

9.xXXXXXXX

10. Do you support the city government's measures such as 'introducing professional security companies', 'deploying surveillance in public areas' and 'strengthening public transportation security' to improve the safety of Long Beach?

Chapter 139 Step 2: Gaining Public Consensus

As the city manager, Ji Tianping did not do nothing except frantically inserting players into the city government. In fact, the players have been low-key "building momentum". Questionnaires are "building momentum", and appearing on TV shows is also "building momentum". Gangster players like "Carlos" have launched multiple "terrorist attacks" again. Even in the well-protected wealthy areas and securities companies, blood is everywhere. Senior executives of financial institutions who always travel with bodyguards were shot dead in the street. This is even more "building momentum".

Now, the city of Long Beach has taken its own safety very seriously. A few days before Ji Tianping was about to give a public speech at the City Council and put forward his own plan for the Council to discuss and approve, several random interviews with passers-by and the latest questionnaire information were broadcast on TV.

The results all show that people are now willing to give up some of their "freedom" to a considerable extent in order to gain "security."

Trying to convince Americans to give up some of their "freedom" in exchange for "security"... Many people don't understand why the two are in conflict, and it's not easy to convince the United States to do so.

First of all, Americans attach great importance to "freedom". There is a national public opinion survey, and one of the questions is "What makes you most proud as an American?" Nearly 70% of Americans answered "freedom", and the number of people who chose "freedom" was higher than the number of people who chose high salary. There is no doubt that "freedom" is what Americans love and value the most. Of course, if you continue to ask what "freedom" is, some people know a little, some are vague, and the answers are varied.

To explain why "security" and "freedom" conflict, we have to look back at American history. At certain extraordinary times, such as during wars and the Cold War, the authorities would take "extraordinary" measures to impose varying degrees of restrictions or even deprivation on the freedom of American citizens, restricting civil liberties in the name of law. In the name of "national security," the government politically discriminates against some people and politically persecutes dissidents. For example, McKinseyism persecuted leftists in the name of "national security" during the early Cold War, and persecuted anti-war activists in the name of "national security" during the Vietnam War...

Because the US government has a lot of "criminal records" in history, in the eyes of Americans, "freedom" and "security (especially the kind provided by the government)" are in conflict, so you really have to convince Americans to give up "freedom" in exchange for "security" in order to form a public consensus and improve the efficiency of policy implementation. Otherwise, a policy that is not widely recognized by the public can only be implemented by "heavy punches", which will not only cost a lot to implement, but the effect may also be minimal.

"The terrorist attacks have caused hundreds of deaths and many injuries. Both private and public property have been destroyed in an instant by the gangsters. Our citizens have been truly intimidated and traumatized, realizing that their homes are not safe. Those closest tragedies have made all Long Beach citizens feel the same. Many citizens and I have the same idea: 'We need to give law enforcement authorities all the power to find and bring to justice those who have caused innocent casualties in our backyards!'"

At the city council meeting, Ji Tianping's speech was not only seen by local councillors, but was also broadcast to local TV programs. On TV, Ji Tianping continued to speak in a rhythmic manner:

"The terrorist attacks brought about by gangsters have serious consequences, but the city of Long Beach is not helpless in times of crisis. As the city manager, I have assembled a group of think tank scholars and experts with rich practical experience to formulate and revise the response plan. I proposed the latest "Long Beach Public Security Expansion Act" to the City Council. Its purpose is to: 'Enhance the ability of the Long Beach City Government to stop, prevent and defeat local and foreign gangs and all potential criminals who infringe on the public interests and lives of Long Beach citizens.

"We will leverage the technological advantages of the United States and work with technology companies to build a public safety domain perception system in Long Beach. It will break down "data barriers" and "information islands" and enable data from multiple departments such as the police department and the education bureau to communicate with each other. It can also obtain data from thousands of public and private surveillance cameras, license plate readers and other information sources, analyze these data, analyze crime hotspots and crime trends, conduct intelligence analysis, optimize police force allocation, and conduct public security assessments to help us prevent crimes in advance and find suspects."

"We must also give full play to the advantages of the diversity of American security entities, respect the tradition of self-governance since the founding of the United States, and comply with the self-governance tendency of American citizens. The supply of social public security should not be monopolized by the police department. We should allow government agencies, enterprises, voluntary social organizations and the general public to become the main providers of social public security."

"We can introduce Giant Security Company, whose record can be verified, to strengthen the security force in Long Beach; we can guide the orderly development of social organizations such as community adjustment agencies and citizen patrols; we can also launch a 'neighborhood watch' project among the public to encourage residents to report case clues found in life and work to the police in a timely manner, so that residents in a certain area can unite and help each other to jointly prevent crime and improve local security conditions, so that those damn gangsters can't escape and have nowhere to hide..."

"us........."

Ji Tianping, who spoke passionately at the city council, tried hard to sell the package of solutions he and the "group of sages" (players) had come up with. Don't worry about whether these things can be realized, just make it look achievable, and it should be high-end, and fit the national conditions of the United States (tradition of self-government) and the characteristics of California (many technology companies). In fact, these things are also the means that players have already used in Los Angeles, such as monitoring, security checks, community citizen patrols, vigilantes, etc., which can be regarded as copying and pasting previous successful cases to Long Beach.

As for whether it works or not, it will definitely work. If necessary, "Carlos" doesn't mind letting his gangsters sacrifice their lives to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new plan.

When Ji Tianping was trying hard to sell his "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act", the city council members were very excited just by listening. The content of the city manager's speech seemed to be really powerful. However, everyone knows that it costs money to do things! It is not that a certain work can be promoted by a few words from a leader, unless it is a purely empty work.

The "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act" will cost a lot of money! It will add a large budget to the city's security expenditure! This is the fundamental reason why the city manager brought it to the city council meeting for discussion. Of course, if the council members are not specialized in this field, it is difficult to figure out how much money it will cost.

Ji Tianping was not going to let these legislators argue over this for too long. He had to get them to pass the bill as soon as possible, and it would be best not to have any "serious debate" or "effective questioning" that would delay the bill's passage indefinitely. The parliament would probably not do that either. After all, the whole city had a sense of crisis, and the people's biggest need was to seek safety, which was the impetus for the bill to be urgently introduced. Various previous opinion polls had shown that the public had viewed the government as trustworthy, not a threat, and supported the government to take necessary measures to combat crime.

Once the "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act" is passed, it also means that a large amount of income will flow into the companies run by the players. In addition to the openly established Giant God Security, there is also the "Prometheus Data Lab", a company established by the "gray members" of the One World Group, which focuses on big data mining, analysis and artificial intelligence. Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not, just make the money first.

Chapter 140: Giant God Company is here, Long Beach City is safe!

To pass a bill, a majority must be obtained in the parliament, but it is not difficult to obtain a majority in the parliament. On the one hand, the old political families and wealthy people in the city council are not opposed to increasing the security of the city. The city government has increased security checks on public transportation and increased surveillance in public areas, which does not affect their lives. As for spending money, it is not just their money, but the money of the taxpayers of the entire Long Beach City. People like them who find various reasons to avoid taxes will certainly not be very resistant to the city government "spending money to buy safety", especially when these gangs specifically attack the rich, they are more willing to let the government spend money to improve their own security.

There are many members in the city council who do not participate in the daily work of the council. They work as members part-time. They may be the owner of a restaurant, a lawyer, a doctor, etc. It will not be difficult to persuade these people. Many of them are influenced by the public opinion agenda set by the players in advance and subconsciously agree with the passage of this bill.

Even if someone continues to preach that "freedom" is more important than anything else in the parliament, then soon, the congressman's home will be "freely" robbed of valuables by robbers, or he will be robbed freely when he goes to the bank to withdraw money after get off work or eats in a restaurant, or even encounter a street gunfight. These will make the congressman quickly wake up and realize that the importance of his life safety is more important than "freedom"............

Ji Tianping had finished his speech. Now, the process in the council hall went directly to the voting stage. As for holding hearings or conducting more detailed debates, those steps were no longer necessary. With the approval of the affected people, the acquiescence of the disgruntled council, the manipulation of the desperate city manager, and the collusion of the media that was creating topics, the city council passed the bill with amazing efficiency.

When the speaker announced: "The result of the vote is that the bill passed", there was applause in the parliament hall, the atmosphere became relaxed, and the members stood up and applauded. As for Ji Tianping, he was wearing a neat gray suit and became the focus of all the members. He took the microphone from the speaker and made a solemn promise again:

"Thank you, gentlemen. You are all honest people who really consider the safety and well-being of citizens. I assure you that after the new bill is passed, Long Beach will become a place where gangsters dare not set foot. We will clear the criminals out and throw them into the sea! Let safety and tranquility return to Long Beach!"

Before the arrival of "Carlos" and other gangsters, was Long Beach a safe and peaceful city? Don't be ridiculous, this is a port city near Los Angeles. Friends who often encounter robbery, drug trafficking, human trafficking and murder in Los Angeles can also encounter the same things in Long Beach.

The arrival of "Carlos" and his people only caused a sensation by creating a lot of "big cases" in a short period of time. In a hundred days, an average of ten people died of gunshots in low-income communities every day, which is not news; in a day, a hundred bosses and executives died of gunshots in high-income communities, which is news. The former cannot exchange for the city government's attention to safety, but the latter can make safety issues the top priority of the city.

Since "Carlos" and his gangsters committed many big crimes, the "peaceful" life of the local gangs in Long Beach has been disrupted. The tacit understanding between them and the local police has disappeared. The days of selling small drugs and robbing guns are gone forever. The bigwigs also poured their anger on "Carlos" and his gangsters to ordinary gangsters and scattered criminals. With the passage of the "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act", many smart gangsters realized that a disaster was coming.

But among these gangs, there are also some "youngsters" who admire Carlos and his gang. They are ruthless right from the start, stealing the limelight and leaving the police helpless. They are very much like their temper. These gang members also want to become respected gangsters like Carlos. Or make a big fortune and then quit the gang. Anyway, in their opinion, the Long Beach police are nothing more than that. What Carlos and his gang did has exposed the weakness of the Long Beach police.

Therefore, some people who are eager to become famous or get rich give up the usual "free shopping" in small shops, which will not make them famous, and can't wait to have a big one.

In the early morning, a jewelry store on the street had just opened its doors. Only a few customers entered the store one after another, and the security guard was still yawning at the door. Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded on the street, and several masked gangsters quickly rushed towards the jewelry store. The security guard was the first to notice something was wrong, and he was about to call for reinforcements. However, before he could speak, a gangster suddenly raised his pistol and pointed it at the security guard's chest. The security guard was about to raise his hands to surrender, but he didn't expect that the robbers on the opposite side were "unfair". After a gunshot, the security guard fell to the ground, and the blood quickly stained the ground red.

The customers and employees in the store were frightened by the sudden gunshots and screamed, and they all hid. The gang members quickly dispersed, some blocked the store door, and some rushed to the counter, ordering the employees to take out cash and jewelry. The employees were frightened by the robbers' direct shooting and killing, and their faces turned pale, and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads. They took out the jewelry from the counter with shaking hands and stuffed it into the large-capacity shoulder bag of the masked robber.

At this time, the robbers, who were a little nervous because of the loud alarm in the jewelry store, looked at the clerk's slow movements (actually he was scared), and one of them suddenly opened fire and the bullet almost missed the clerk.

"Hurry up! Stop playing tricks!"

This attitude of actually pulling out a gun and killing someone if they disagreed with someone scared the clerk so much that he quickened the pace of stuffing the jewelry into the bag.

A few minutes later, the masked robbers had already filled three large bags. They gestured to each other and prepared to leave. They thought it was a "quick in and quick out" "stocking", but they didn't expect to run into the police patrolling nearby. A police car stopped opposite the jewelry store, and the police, who only had a small pistol but were not afraid of tigers, actually started shooting at the robbers directly at the door of the store.

The policeman's shooting skills were just average, and the robbers' shooting skills were even more inconsistent. After a round of shooting between the two sides, suddenly, the sound of a burst of assault rifle fire came from nowhere, and the policeman was shot in the abdomen, and the situation immediately reversed. The policeman had to take care of his injured partner first, and the robbers calmly suppressed the policeman, then crossed the street, robbed a car that was about to drive away, and set up the car to drive away.

At the same time, in the newly established Long Beach Public Security Rapid Response Center, an employee from Giant Security called the Long Beach Police Department: "My police number is xxxxxx, and the location is xx Street. We exchanged fire with four armed robbers, and one police officer was injured. We need your rapid response team to support us!"

When the employee reported the information to the rapid response team, the player leading the team simply replied: "Got it, we will immediately drive the helicopter to support!" Then he turned to his companions and said: "Man, I smell blood in the water, let's go and kill!"

Chapter 141 Now is the time for Giant God Security to perform

The sun scorched the asphalt road in Long Beach, and the heat waves filled the air with heat and tension. The hustle and bustle of the city was broken by high-speed vehicles and shrill sirens, making the scene particularly thrilling.

A green jeep was running wildly on the road. The car body was shaking slightly due to the high speed, and the tires made a harsh sound when they rubbed against the road. The robber in the driver's seat tightly grasped the steering wheel, stared at the front with concentration, stepped on the accelerator, and the speed soared to the limit. From time to time, he would overtake when there was an opportunity, or simply drive in the opposite direction. However, in the rearview mirror, there were still two police cars chasing him.

At this time, the police in the police car have heard the reminder from the Long Beach Public Security Rapid Response Center: "Officer xxxx, please note that the criminal you are chasing is holding an assault rifle and has caused a police officer to be shot. Please keep your distance and wait for the rapid response support team to arrive."

"Thanks for the heads up, sir, but we're determined to catch up with this bastard! Please continue to keep us posted with more information, over!"

"OK, Officer xxxx, the support team has dispatched a helicopter and a number of armored patrol vehicles. It is expected that... um, the helicopter will arrive at your location in one minute."

Suddenly, the voice on the radio that was originally in the call disappeared, and a burst of bullets had destroyed the police car's radio. Then, more bullets rained down on the police car. The glass of the police car in the front was instantly shattered, and the policeman sitting in the passenger seat was shot, and blood gushed out, staining the seat red.

"Center, center, my co-pilot is injured and bleeding, we need help! His police number is xxXXXXX.

"Got it. Please use a tourniquet to stop the bleeding immediately. Take good care of your partner. We will immediately send the injured person's information and your location to the nearest hospital. The ambulance will arrive in 3-5 minutes. Please hold on."

The robbers in the jeep saw this scene and showed a brief moment of pride on their faces. They felt that the Long Beach police were just so-so. How could a new official make three big moves when he took office? How could the local police become powerful so quickly?

When the police car was forced to pull over, the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the road were also hit by the stray bullets from the assault rifles. The glass of several shops on both sides of the street was shattered by bullets, and the fragments were scattered. Passersby were so scared that they screamed and squatted on the ground, holding their heads with their hands, watching all this in horror. A woman on the roadside hugged her child tightly and trembled. The shop owners hid behind the counters, their faces pale, their hearts beating like drums, and the survivors cursed:

"Shit! Is this Long Beach or the fucking slums of Mexico..."

"Hey man, is that thing following us?"

After being reminded by one of them, the other robbers also turned their heads to look at the helicopter flying low behind them. The logo of Giant God Company on the fuselage was shining in the sun. If the robbers had good eyesight, they could also see that the door of the helicopter was open and a soldier had taken out a MK11 sniper rifle and was aiming at them.

At this time, the pilot in the helicopter kept his eyes on the jeep on the ground and kept reporting the jeep's location via radio:

"The target vehicle has passed the xx intersection and continued to move north. Uh, there are too many buildings, vehicles and pedestrians along the way. It is inconvenient for the quick response team members to shoot from the helicopter. It is recommended that the armored vehicle come from the east. If you are lucky, you can directly knock it over or force it onto the highway. There are currently fewer cars there, which can create shooting conditions for the helicopter."

The helicopter obviously made the robbers in the jeep more nervous. The leaders of these robbers didn't want to "die halfway through their business". "Where on earth did this bastard come from? The SWAT team from Los Angeles?" But no matter who he was, the robbers would not surrender. They even prepared assault rifles for this robbery. They could only grit their teeth and say, "Speed ​​up! We have to find a place to get rid of that thing in the sky!"

The car sped along the highway, nimbly dodging the vehicles ahead and turning the steering wheel from time to time, trying to shake off the pursuers by making sharp turns. However, the helicopter was always hovering over their heads, constantly reporting their location, allowing the police to track them accurately.

"Go to the right, there you can...

Before he finished speaking, the robber saw two aggressive armored patrol cars coming from the east. If he drove east, he would be smashed into pieces by the fully armed armored patrol cars. So, the robber started to slam the steering wheel, then continued to step on the accelerator, turned west, and prepared to get on the highway. Vehicles along the way made emergency avoidance, and the traffic flow instantly became chaotic.

The jeep was still surrounded by danger when turning onto the highway, with scrapes and collisions along the way, but it finally got onto the highway.

It is also equivalent to embarking on the road to hell.

Vehicles on the highway gave way one after another, and drivers honked their horns in panic, trying to make way for the crazy jeep. At this time, the robbers in the jeep noticed that there were no helicopters following them on the left and right sides.

“Where did it go?”

The highway is a one-way street after all, so the helicopter naturally didn't need to follow the jeep all the time. Of course, it ran in front of the jeep to find a suitable shooting position. At this time, there were no other vehicles following the jeep hijacked by the robbers, and there were no pedestrians or shops on the left and right sides, so the shooting conditions were extremely good. The helicopter found a good position and began to hover, with the side of the fuselage facing the jeep, and the hatch was open. Giant Security changed the weapon fixed with the elastic rope from the MK11 sniper rifle to the M240.

"Hold on! Hold on! OK, the machine gun sight is on the jeep!" "Can you aim at the people in the car?"

"Dude, why are you asking such an idiotic question? There's no hostage in the car! Of course I'm going to smash the whole car to pieces! Oh, this jeep seems to have been robbed? I hope the owner has bought reliable insurance..."

The Giant God security guard on the helicopter noticed that the jeep was trying to move in an S shape, so he stopped hesitating and pulled the trigger. The machine gun began to spit out flames and bullets rained down on the jeep. The body of the jeep was instantly hit by bullets, making a harsh metal collision sound, and the window glass was shattered, with fragments scattered everywhere. The robbers in the car lowered their heads in panic, trying to avoid being shot.

But this kind of hiding is useless. In the face of machine gun fire, the civilian jeep is not a shelter at all, it can only be said to be a cover. The giant security on the helicopter cannot see the specific situation of the people in the car, but it doesn’t matter. I just need to shoot holes in the jeep, and the people inside will definitely die.

Soon, the jeep rushed out of the highway and rolled on the ground for several times before stopping. Many parts of the car and the robbers were thrown out during the rolling. At the same time, there was a young man holding a camera in the helicopter cabin. His task was the same as the door gunner, which was to aim at the jeep.

"This last clip needs to be processed, it's a bit inappropriate for children," the young man muttered, "Is today's mission over? I have to go back and edit the footage with my colleagues, and try to get this video on the news tonight. It can't just be a feast for our eyes, we also have to let the citizens of Long Beach see our highlight moment!"

Chapter 142: "Group Defense and Group Control" and Becoming an "Overwatch"

"We need to make Long Beach see changes. The people have been harmed by the criminal acts of gangsters. The harder we hit these criminals, the more people will cheer for us!" Ji Tianping said to his hired staff. "Any verbal attack on criminals will be pale and powerless if it cannot be transformed into action. The bullets fired at criminals from helicopters are more important than me saying 'crack down on crime' ten thousand times in parliament and on TV!"

Players like to hit hard at people with bright health bars. In the eyes of players, those with bright red health bars are like red cloths taken out by matadors in the eyes of a hot-tempered bull. Players will start to fight without saying anything. It just so happens that in the current Long Beach, hitting hard at criminals is a "politically correct" thing to do. Take the robbers who were just shot into sieves by machine guns. They robbed a jewelry store, killed the security guards, and broke the windows of many shops along the street while shooting along the way, scaring the citizens along the way. Such dangerous people were decisively shot dead, and anyone would applaud. If anyone speaks for the robbers, I am afraid that the person involved will soon experience what "American freedom of speech" means.

When the robbers resisted with force, they also injured several police officers. Each of the injured almost died. Giant Security decisively shot and killed the robbers, which was embarrassing for the police station, but that was not the most important thing. The important thing was that Giant Security solved the problem and did not let the robbers escape (that would be a huge shame). Moreover, it was the Giant Company employees in the rapid response center who promptly coordinated emergency vehicles for the injured police officers. The ambulances with plasma matching the blood type of the injured police officers arrived in time, which allowed the bleeding police officers to win the race against death.

So, if someone asks the police, does the enforcement of Giant Security comply with regulations and procedures? The police will say with certainty: "The enforcement procedures of Giant Security are in full compliance with regulations!" Then they will whisper: "If it does not comply with regulations, then the regulations are not set reasonably and need to be changed..."

Before the prime time of the evening, Long Beach TV station LBTV urgently produced the most explosive local news of the day and arranged a full half-hour to broadcast this news. First, several interviews with the city manager of Long Beach, the police chief, local citizens, and the patrol officers and Giant God security guards who participated in the operation were released. In the process of connecting the interviews, the host's speech and the on-site law enforcement videos shot from cars and helicopters were interspersed.

The content of the video is like a compressed version of a police and gangster blockbuster. Except for the overly bloody scenes, everything else that can be shown has been released.

Of course, the entire news program not only publicizes how "violent" Giant Security is in fighting crime, but also publicizes the benefits of various public safety measures. For example, after breaking through the data barriers, the rapid response center can locate the robber's position in real time based on the information provided by various information sources such as helicopters and highway cameras; for example, after learning the police number of the injured police officer, the rapid response center immediately found the nearest hospital on the electronic map, sent the police officer's injury information and personal health information with one click, and arranged for the nearest emergency vehicle to arrive at the scene as quickly as possible.
