my wife is a consul

Huanhuoluo and Guoheluo areas were originally the poorest places in the Western Regions, mainly desert areas, with vast areas but sparsely populated and barren farmland, and only one kind of unique local crops can be grown, and the yield is very low. In addition, animal husbandry, There is a kind of small cattle that can be grazed in the desert, but within a certain area, naturally, it cannot form a large scale. In the past, only the old aristocrats could eat meat. Now, the change is not great, but the new aristocrats eat meat. .

In fact, whether it is elected by the people, dictatorship, or pure slavery in the past, it probably makes no difference to the lowest-level people here.

Lu Ming's convoy went to the northwest, that is, the direction bordering the Nile Autonomous Region. Starting from Hunhuo City, it first arrived at Chihuo City, the third largest city in the autonomous region. At this time, it was more than 300 kilometers away from Huohuo City, and then headed northwest , that is, the slightly wider road is gone.

Rest in Scarlet Fire City for a few days and meet the local dignitaries.

Then they set off again, and a day later, they arrived at a small town called Bahuocheng.

On this road, some places are simply deserts, and there is no way to talk about it.

However, Lu Ming's convoy is all off-road military vehicles, and he also brought a team of engineers. When encountering places where vehicles are difficult to pass, he can temporarily find a way to allow vehicles to pass.

Bahuo City is called a city, but it is just a village with several thousand people. The 61st Police Station stationed here has a management area of ​​several thousand square kilometers. In fact, there are only more than 50 villages in these thousands of square kilometers, and the villages are all Not big, not counting Eight Fire City, the population is less than [-].

61 Police Station has a chief and seven police officers, a total of eight people, equipped with five long guns and five short guns. There is no electricity here, and the police station itself is equipped with a small generator.

Lu Ming's convoy consisted of five trucks, two off-road trucks pulling the RV, and an armed helicopter, plus two engineering vehicles, loaded with engineering tools and some commonly used materials.

The guards are the commander-in-chief's personal guards. They are organized at the company level, but there are more than 300 people, all equipped with micro assault rifles, assault rifles and large-caliber rifles. Regardless of long-range attack, medium-range fire suppression or close combat, the firepower is extremely powerful, and they are equipped with armored vehicles. And armed helicopters, but for this trip, armored vehicles cannot accompany them, and only an armed helicopter was brought out.

After the convoy arrived at the 61st Police Station, they sent a report to the headquarters, and tomorrow there will be a transport plane to drop supplementary supplies by air.

The Guard Corps does not have an air force, but is equipped with two transport aircraft.

Shi Shiluo, the director of the 61st police station, how could he have the opportunity to meet the chief who is hundreds of levels higher than him?According to his military rank, he is only a lieutenant, and he is still a lieutenant of the Western Regions Guard Corps, and his gold content is very insufficient.

The 61 Police Station is just two rows of simple bungalows. The first row is the office, interrogation room and temporary detention room, and the second row is the dormitory.

In the office, Shi Luobi respectfully reported the situation here.

Lu Ming looked at the map on the table.

Going further southwest from here, the soil gradually becomes fertile. The village of Huanhuoluo, where a water source dispute occurred and guns were fired, is more than 300 kilometers southwest of here.

"Constituency 61, Bahuo City and nearby villages, although the population is not large, there are more than 1 to 100 people, and there are only more than [-] valid voters?" Lu Ming was suddenly attracted by Shi Luo's words.

Shitou Luo nodded, "Yes, because voters must have a public elementary school education. More than ten years ago, most people here were slaves. Not to mention elementary school education, there are not many literate people." He said helplessly: " Originally, the Kingdom planned to build a public primary school in Area 61, but due to financial problems, the original promise was not fulfilled, so I think it will be like this for a long time in the future.”

Although Shitou Luo is not a local, he also came from a poor village, and he feels the same for the life of the poor villagers here.

He has excellent physical fitness. Nine years ago, he was recruited as a police officer by the Chief's Police Corps. He is also very smart. In just a few years, he has not only been studying culture, but also successfully graduated from the police officer training class. It can be said that in the past ten years, It was a turning point in his life. All of this came from his uniform, which he also loved. As for the chief who he only saw in newspapers, he had long been the person he admired the most.

Lu Ming glanced at Shi Luo, "Then how is the management of the municipal committee here?"

The villages in the Huoluo Autonomous Region have simple elections, and there is no parliament. The villagers directly elect the municipal committees of the constituencies that are divided, and the municipal committees exercise management functions on behalf of all voters.

However, the governing body elected by more than 100 people still wants to change the soup instead of the medicine.

Shitou Luo smiled wryly and said, "Many villagers feel that it is better to be slaves than before, because what tools, fields, and livestock are all..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "The means of production are still in the hands of the former slave owners."

The Sonias have dealt with many old nobles, but those are in big cities where the Sonias can really manage.

Rural areas are largely unaffected.

It's not like I was in the Northern Territory, where I was determined to eradicate the bullies of the army. They all mobilized the people at the bottom to carve up their property, and those in remote mountainous areas could also mobilize.

"Yes, the means of production." Shi Luo repeated the word in admiration, and continued: "Now they hire workers and pay very low wages, but there are too many poor slaves and too few job opportunities, and they compete fiercely with each other. , it’s not as good as before, at least as the property of the slave owners, the slave owners will not want to starve them to death.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly. The Sonia people's abolition policy is a typical one that belongs to killing or burying.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "The main reason is that the Autonomous Region Council ignored this serious problem and didn't think of a way to solve it with laws and regulations."

"Chief, you really don't see them?" Shitou Luo asked again.

As soon as Lu Ming arrived here, five members of the municipal committee heard the news and came to visit collectively, but they were stopped by guards with live ammunition.

Lu Ming smiled: "There is nothing to see, let me talk to you first. Well, you can choose a few former slaves as representatives for me, and I will chat with them."

"Okay!" Shi Luo hurriedly agreed.

……

The next day, a helicopter arrived from the southwest city of White Fire Fort.

White Fire Fort is the second largest city in the Hunhuoluo Autonomous Region, only a hundred kilometers away from the place where Hunhuoluo and the Niles clashed.

According to the investigation of the first control intelligence personnel, the weapons smuggled from the United Kingdom were first sent to Whitefire Castle.

And in Huohuo City, the middle-aged man who was not very respectful to him was the deputy speaker of the Huohuo Autonomous Region, and he was born in Baihuobao.

According to the information obtained by the first control, there is a Huoruo organization in Baihuobao, whose idea is that Huoruo people should rule the Western Regions.

Naturally, it was the expansion of ambition brought about by occupying Nile City back then.

But it is not hostile to the United Kingdom, but hopes to get the support of the United Kingdom. It is reported that it may have received the support of the White Rose Party in the United Kingdom.

This organization calls itself the "Rose of the Western Regions".

In the United Kingdom, the White Rose Party is already a publicly registered political group, and there are still many fans. The poorer the people, the easier it is to be infected by such extremist ideas. Its current seat in the United Kingdom Parliament has no room for those The big parties are underestimated, and some dignitaries obviously support the White Rose Party, but they will not publicly announce their political inclinations.

The military and political group that his backer, Admiral Deniz, belongs to, somewhat has the color of the old-school politicians of the empire, and is in a competitive relationship with the extreme factions.

As for the helicopter that flew from White Fire Castle, the leader was Xiang Sha Shimi, a member of White Fire Castle, a young and beautiful young woman in her early twenties. Just by her name, she knew that she had an unusual background.

It is true that she is the little granddaughter of Huo Huo Wang. She was more than ten years old when her family was slaughtered, and was even supported by the rest of the tribe as Huo Huo Wang. Because of Huo Huo Wang's lineage, she is the only one left.

Probably because he has been involved in politics since he was a teenager. After the stability of the Western Regions, the last Huohuo King chose to enter politics. He started from Baihuobao, where the family's influence has not been wiped out. Some loyal subordinates supported her, so in the general election two years ago, she was elected as the city councilor of Whitefire Castle at a young age, and she has a lot of influence in the city council, she is a heavyweight councilor.

Hearing that Chief Bit had arrived in Eight Fire City, which was only two hundred kilometers away from White Fire Fort, she hired a helicopter from a flight service company to visit.
