Manager Zhou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The negative growth of God!
We have gone all out and done everything we can, but the supply of guns and ammunition has actually increased...
Otherwise the price will drop?
We really tried our best! Don’t blame us for being incompetent, the smuggling gang is really too cunning!
Who would have thought that a group of smugglers could find people to modify the landing spacecraft and then bypass the space elevator for smuggling?
Could it be that... we can only let the Eta fleet come forward?
The Eta civilization is in the solar system and has a garrison of 200 warships. This is the most important weapon of the entire solar system.
The combat effectiveness and performance of the guard ships owned by the guard force are of course completely different from those of regular combat spacecraft.
The combat effectiveness of the guard ship is roughly equivalent to the warships built by human civilization. Back then, the ETA battleship wiped out the entire space force fleet of human civilization with just one battleship, without any damage to itself.
If the ETA fleet comes forward, it will definitely be able to suppress and destroy all the smuggling ships that are becoming increasingly rampant.
However, the Ita Garrison and the Guard are two different departments. If the Ita Garrison is asked to come forward, where will our face be put? Okay, even if you don't care about face, if you let the Eta garrison clean up the mess, will it prove your own incompetence?
Captain Wolf may be fine, but it's hard to say for our state-level supervisors.
However, there is really no other way.
"No matter what! The sky is falling and the tall man is holding it up. If our planet Mercury is in such trouble, the rest of the planets will not be much better. Just ask Vice President Liu for help. You can take care of the matter. Anyway, I tried my best!"
Director Zhou gritted his teeth, wrote a report directly, and sent it to the Earth Guard headquarters.
On Earth, in an office at the Guard Headquarters Building, Deputy Captain Liu Kai looked at the help report flying in front of him like snowflakes with a gloomy expression.
I am responsible for fighting the rebels! Collecting civilian firearms and ammunition is the main entry point in the fight against the rebels. Now that things have happened like this, if you ask for help from the Eta garrison, I will be the one who takes the responsibility!
However, now the situation has truly reached a critical juncture of life and death.
When things can no longer be suppressed and the Earth Governor's Office takes the initiative to intervene, the result will be even worse than if we proactively apply for support now.
It seemed like I only had one choice left.
but……
"I have other options."
Liu Kai gritted his teeth and stood up: "I didn't want to use this method originally, you are the stubborn rebels who forced me!"
Captain Wolfe's office. Wolfe's two small eyes on his slender face gave Liu Kai a cold look: "Vice President Liu, I doubt you are crazy. In this situation, you don't want to confiscate guns and ammunition and combat smuggling. Instead, you have to Acquisition at a high price?”
In the aerospace helmet, cold sweat gradually broke out on Liu Kai's forehead. He forced himself to remain calm: "No, Captain Wolf, the fight against smuggling will continue, and efforts will be intensified.
My idea is that we temporarily abandon the method of forced collection, allocate a sum of funds, and instead liberalize the acquisition of various prohibited firearms and ammunition at a price 50% higher than the average market price, artificially pushing up the price of firearms, and artificially manufacturing firearms. Shortage! "
"I think this plan is not to combat smuggling, but to encourage smuggling!"
Wolfe pulled no punches.
"No! Captain Wolf, because the total supply in the market is limited!
Our guard team has been searching for so long, but we have not been able to find where the mysterious arms dealer's arsenal is. Indeed, they are hidden enough, but this also means that their scale cannot be too big! If the scale is small, the output must be limited, and it is impossible to significantly increase the supply in the short term!
Once we open up the acquisition at a high price, whether it is a smuggling gang or a private owner, the firearms in their hands will definitely be sold to us in large quantities.
For new gun buyers, rising gun prices will also dampen their purchasing power, causing them to choose not to buy.
Even if those gun owners don't want to sell, under the premise that we are open to high-priced purchases, whoever has a gun in their hands is equivalent to carrying a huge amount of wealth. Some people will steal their guns and sell them to us!
Generally speaking, once this policy is launched, we will certainly spend a lot of money in a short period of time, but it will greatly reduce the number of firearms held in the entire society.
Once the number of firearms is reduced, social security will improve, and the control of local security bureaus over local areas will be improved. At that time, they can shrink their troops and take advantage of this strategic window to wipe out the rebel organizations in one fell swoop!
At present, we have enough reasons to suspect that the arms dealer has close relations with various rebel organizations. The elimination of the rebel organization will inevitably involve the arms dealer. When the time comes, we will be able to uncover even this arms dealer and completely eliminate future troubles! "
Liu Kai's plan has obviously been conceived for a long time, and basically every aspect of the plan has been taken into consideration.
Wolfe looked at Liu Kai coldly, making Liu Kai break into a cold sweat: "Are you sure?"
Of course Liu Kai was not sure.
No matter how good the plan is, there will always be various surprises when it is actually implemented.
But at this moment, he had no choice.
Are you really going to ask for help from the Eta garrison? That would be better than resigning voluntarily!
"I'm 100% sure!"
"How much funding do you need?"
Liu Kai said categorically: "It is estimated that only 500 billion funds will be needed!"
500 billion is a huge number. But it also depends on where it is used and what it is used for.
As the largest department in the entire human government, the Earth Guard's annual funding far exceeds this number. More than that is spent each year fighting the rebels.
If we can really achieve the goal of wiping out the rebel organizations in one fell swoop, then 500 billion in funds is really not that much.
Wolfe said coldly: "Vice President Liu, I have approved your plan."
Liu Kai immediately let out a sigh of relief, nodded and bowed: "Thank you, team!"
"This is the last chance I give you. The last time!"
"Yes! This time, I won't let you down!"
After leaving Wolfe's office, Liu Kai made some preparations and immediately summoned the directors, deputy directors, and senior executives of each state-level security department from all planets as quickly as possible, as well as the chief and deputy directors of the provincial-level security department, and started a video conference , announced the decision and announced specific implementation rules and supervision plans.
"Within half a year, we must complete the preliminary preparations, and then, remember, we are opening the door to acquisition! As much as you want! There must be a shortage of firearms on the market and the prices will rise! We must act quickly and resolutely!
At the same time, the crackdown on smuggling must not be relaxed and must be cracked down severely!
After society settles down, it's time to uproot the rebel organization! "
