In one afternoon, Lin Qi took the time to meet three gentlemen in need of help. He also tried his best to help each other, but unfortunately, there was a gentleman in his sixties who had a very bad temper.

He maliciously speculated on the purpose of all Mr. Lin Qi's actions with "I know you are behind all this", and viciously and unreasonably rejected Lin Qi with words such as "Even if I go to hell, I will not sell my factory to you" and "To hell with you and your greed."

Fortunately, Lin Qi is a kind-hearted person. He did not blame Old Gentleman, because not everyone can recognize reality and obey reality when facing reality.

Although Lin Qi wanted to help this Old Gentleman, but unfortunately he did not have enough funds to help Old Gentleman. He could only say sorry and watched his property be legally auctioned by the bank...

In the evening, Lin Qi went to Veterans Club, and a new group of veterans came to the club.

The Army's disarmament plan has been proceeding in an orderly manner. In the Age of Discovery and against the background of giant ships asserting power, the Army's situation is a bit... miserable.

At the same time, Federal had just defeated Gefra in a naval battle. In order to show that he had a stable position and would not invade other countries at will, Federal once again expanded the disarmament plan.

Department of Defense plans to join forces with the military to reduce the current size of the army to 50%. I thought that this plan would be opposed by people, but surprisingly, both domestic and foreign people are very supportive of Federal Government's approach.

Some countries also highly praised Federal's approach on International Community as "ensuring the continued peace of the world in the future." These people's thoughts Lin Qi are very clear. With only a navy and no army, even if an armed conflict breaks out between them and Federal, even if Federal's warships arrive at the other side's doorstep, they will not be able to carry out an invasion war.

At most, after being bombarded by them for a period of time, they give in and pay some money, because the size of Federal's army cannot support a large-scale invasion war. They have no potential for invasion. If they don't raise Federal high now, and wait for them to come back and strengthen their army construction, then the whole world will be in real danger.

Sometimes human malice does not come from subjectivity - some sociologists have studied some cases. In bare-handed robbery cases, this refers to those robbers. When they do not carry weapons that can easily take other people's lives, in such robbery cases, the probability of intentional injury or even intentional homicide is very low, less than 20%.

More than 30% of the attempted robbers were beaten up by the person they wanted to rob.

But in another situation, for example, when the robbers hold weapons such as daggers and pistols that can easily kill people, before they kill the victim, or even when they commit the fact of killing the victim, they never have the subjective consciousness to complete the robbery by depriving others of their lives.

If we use the words of another world to explain such a manifestation, it would be that "having a sharp weapon in your body has a murderous intention." When people are highly nervous, if something happens that affects their emotions, these "sharp weapons" provide humans with a solution that is beyond the scope of their thinking, but is indeed effective.

Therefore, Federal's disarmament was unanimously recognized by the entire International Community. Even Emperor of Gefra couldn't help but send a message to Federal President, saying that he did so to "reflect the positive guiding role of Federal in International Community."

As for those in the country, their support is actually very easy to understand. They are still afraid of war. More than ten years of escapism indoctrination has made people always fear war and death. Perhaps they thought about changing everything in the most difficult times.

But when there is a slight improvement, they may feel that it is not bad now, and war does bring death and sorrow. If the problem can be solved by just letting children fire guns on warships from a distance, then that is the best choice.

Army disarmament has been supported by most families, and Mr. President seems to have understood Federal Family's sensitive nerves.

Sometimes it's thick, sometimes it's slender, and it's not hard to please people if you find the right opportunity.

Under such circumstances, part of the army will still be dismantled from time to time and sent back to the place of origin.

Fortunately, Sabine City retired Military Club is under the care of Lin Qi, and the soldiers do not need to worry about work problems. This has also led to some well-informed York State veterans wanting to come to Sabine City when they choose to return to their place of origin.

"Look, this is the man who wants to take away my lovely soldiers again!"

Ferral's Wife's Father is a very lively and outgoing person. He was chatting with several non-commissioned officers who had just retired from the army. When he saw Lin Qi, he couldn't help but joke like this.

The smile on his face would not make people think that this was any malicious words. In addition, he took the initiative to greet Lin Qi, and the non-commissioned officers around him realized that this was the legendary "Lin Qi".

"How many people do you plan to take away this time?" Ferral's Wife's Father asked directly after the two shook hands.

Lin Qi did not avoid it, "My financial officer may have encountered some trouble. She found that her servant had a habit of stealing, but she did not call the police, but just fired the servant. As you know the current situation, I am worried that the fired servant may come back with revenge."

Ferral's Wife's Father nodded, and he recognized Lin Qi's statement, "She?"

"She!"

The two of them were talking as they walked in. After confirming that Lin Qi needed female soldiers, Ferral's Wife's Father took him directly to the second half of the main camp.

Female soldiers have only appeared in the past ten years. Before this, women were not qualified to go to the battlefield.

But under the shroud of escapism, the entire society is in a carnival of deceiving itself.

The argument that not allowing women to serve as soldiers is discrimination against women has led to the emergence of a new sequence in the army. No one thinks that these female soldiers can play a positive role on the battlefield, but the social pressure is so great that they have to recruit female soldiers into the army, and train these female soldiers in a training method that is almost equivalent to that of male soldiers. It seems that they want to make them quit in spite of difficulties.

Many women indeed couldn't stand the suffering and quit the army, but some were encouraged to persist until the end. Gradually, the military acquiesced to this situation and gave Female Soldier One some preferential treatment, instead of constantly trying to drive them out of the army.

Lin Qi When I saw these female soldiers, I was a little disappointed to be honest. There were not many good-looking ones, and most of them were very ordinary. It seems that they are not friendly to soldiers as a group if they are ugly, but they are still far from beautiful.

Those recruitment posters are also a kind of advertisement after all. As long as they are advertisements, there must be some exaggeration.

"You recommend two people. My financial officer is single with a child. They sometimes have to take care of the child..."

The old soldier didn't find any clues from Lin Qi's face, but he also knew in his heart that Lin Qi was probably deceived by those posters and propaganda.

No, I can't say I'm cheating. In fact, there are indeed many beautiful female officers in the army. Ever since some women discovered that joining the army is another way to realize their self-worth, some people have begun to find ways to exploit loopholes.

In the past few years, those models and outdated actresses have been joining the army. In addition to being "sponsored", they also saw some opportunities here.

Female officers can be promoted faster and more easily than men. They don't need any advantageous background. As long as they can be good as a flower vase, promotion will be easy. If they can also keep secrets and satisfy some of their superiors' little hobbies...

This is why there are always some inexplicable female Field officer. Compared to these female soldiers wearing low-level soldier clothes, some people prefer female officers who wear officer uniforms, have good figures, and are beautiful.

Ferral's Wife's Father chose two good female soldiers for Lin Qi, and Lin Qi took them back to Vera's home.

The two female soldiers, or older girls, are full of expectations for their new life.

Lin Qi pays them a salary of one hundred yuan per week, which is four hundred yuan a month, after tax. This is already considered a high salary in today's society, not to mention that their relationship will be arranged in Blackstone Security Company, and the company will pay Social Insurance for them...

All in all, everything was perfect.

When Vera came back in the evening, she saw the two of them and welcomed them. She was not a difficult person to get in touch with, but the two female soldiers were a little restrained, but everything would be fine.

After finishing dinner, Vera informed the hourly maid that she would not be coming tomorrow morning. The family and Lin Qi sat in the restaurant to enjoy dinner, while two female soldiers were checking the safety here.

In order to allow these soldiers to quickly adapt to the work of Blackstone Security after leaving the army, Ferral's Wife's Father discussed with the people of the local state Veterans Affairs Office and first launched an employment training program in Sabine City Veterans Club, which is specialized security training.

This ensures that these veterans can cater to the capital market faster, and capitalists are willing to directly take away these veterans who have at least mastered certain safety skills.

"They look... quite scary." Vera whispered, "Where did you find them?"

"They are my employees..." This sentence made Vera feel relieved.

Many people in the society of this period have a kind of superstition... Sorry, Federal people believe in God and do not consider belief to be superstitious.

In other words, they have an incomprehensible self-confidence. They believe that employees will be unconditionally loyal to the company, so when Vera heard that these two female soldiers who looked very fierce were employees of Lin Qi, they immediately relaxed completely.

And this is actually what Federal, and even the capitalists of the entire world, have always been doing - to make the exploited identify with the values of the exploiters and be loyal to the exploiters!!
