Chapter 310, The Governor's Speech
"To all residents of Angry Owl Star:"
"I am your governor, Gu Hang."
"Two and a half years ago, I came into this world and promised the entire planet that I would save this world."
"I have promised that I will establish a unified government, unite the people of the entire planet, and bring security to the entire world; I have promised that I will save everyone from hunger and panic, and I will let everyone enjoy a normal life."
"So, the new alliance government replaced the old alliance and established the alliance army. The army formed by the Angry Owl Star people conquered the south and the north and unified the entire planet. All the Angry Owl Star people finally united together without any gaps, fighting for a common goal, and no longer distinguishing between each other based on power, nationality, or ethnic interests."
"Most of you have never heard of that declaration. But it doesn't matter. I and the alliance I founded have spent the past two and a half years bringing these 'promises' into reality, into everyone's sight."
…
Listening to the words coming from the radio, a tavern in Silver Sand City, the capital of Peninsula Province, was filled with cheers.
These men were all soldiers of the Alliance.
After the war on the Western Front ended, most of the troops withdrew to the east, but some people remained in the west.
As soon as the war stopped, local governance was handed over to the newly established local government, ending military control, but the brothers in the army were still needed to stay and suppress the local situation.
However, the situation in the three western provinces is better than when the three eastern provinces were just recovered. There are no complex and intertwined local forces like those in the three eastern provinces. After the demise of Blackbird Heavy Industries, this place is left blank.
Once the Alliance liberated large tracts of land and cleared out the Blackbird Heavy Industries on them, it was not difficult to restore order.
As a result, the Alliance soldiers stationed in the West were in a relatively stable state of mind and basically did not encounter any malicious incidents. The army even allowed the soldiers to leave their bases and go outside or to the city for vacation.
The city also welcomes the arrival of Alliance soldiers.
The discipline of the Alliance soldiers is very strict. They pay when they go out to buy things, drink, and eat. The allowances in the hands of the soldiers are real Alliance coins, which are quite strong. Although the residents of Yinsha City who have just become Alliance citizens have also been assigned ranks, most of them are at the E5 level, and the allowances they receive are not much, so it would definitely be good to earn more.
The troops had already been notified that the Governor would give a speech today. Those on duty naturally listened to the radio at the garrison. As for those who were having fun in the city during the holidays, they could only find a place to listen.
No one wants to miss it.
They found a tavern and called their friends over. Most of the tavern was filled with Alliance soldiers on leave, at least sixty or seventy of them. At their request, the tavern owner switched the music channel to the news channel.
To be honest, the boss was not very happy about it.
When the Governor began to speak, boasting that he had "brought the promise into reality", he just glanced at the soldiers who were cheering wildly, and dared not speak loudly, but muttered:
"Those high-ranking masters are just bragging. You, a bunch of hard-working cannon fodder soldiers, have been brainwashed into fools. Why are you cheering along?"
Although he spoke very quietly, he was still heard by a soldier who was very close.
The man turned around and stared at him fiercely: "What did you say, old man?"
The boss was shocked and stammered but didn't dare to say anything.
Being beaten would be fine, but what he feared most was that his store would be smashed by these soldiers.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, the soldier became even more angry: "We obeyed the Governor's leadership and rescued you from those iron monsters. You guys are saying such things behind my back? Huh?"
He stood up, reeking of alcohol, and approached the boss.
The boss shrank back in fear. He felt that he was doomed and was going to be beaten.
At this moment, another tall figure blocked the soldier's way.
He was a bald strong man with several scars on his face, but his expression was surprisingly peaceful.
He first advised his comrades, saying, "Don't be angry, don't be angry..."
"This guy really deserves a beating for his mouth! Dimitra, your old company was wiped out, and you were told this. Don't you want to teach him a lesson? If you don't dare, I will! I will take care of the disciplinary issues myself!"
"It's not a disciplinary issue. It's about not bringing shame to the Governor," said Dimitrao.
"Hmph!" The man was obviously still very angry, but after saying this, he miraculously controlled his temper.
After Dimitrao finished persuading the man, he turned around and faced the bar owner and said seriously, "Mr. Boss, I hope you can apologize for what you just said."
The boss was about to apologize, and he was scared very quickly.
But before he could say anything, he was stopped by Dimitra.
"Not now. I don't want your apology to be out of fear or terror. Listen first. After listening to the Governor's speech, you can decide whether to apologize or not. I will never force you."
The boss could only stand aside anxiously, trying hard to listen to the information on the radio.
He was no longer in a position to regret his bad mouth. He had to listen carefully to see if he could find a way to avoid being beaten when he apologized later.
The words on the radio continued:
"…We resisted the resurgence of the cult, we killed the greenskin alien plague at its source, and our soldiers went into space and thwarted the attack of a greenskin space fleet."
"In the Qinggu area, we have designated a large safe area in the north and basically eliminated the threat of the aberrations in the northern Qinggu area. We have eliminated the evil cults in the Qinggu area, and the alliance's army has driven the demons back to their homeland."
"In the three eastern provinces, we have swept away the stubborn old forces."
"In the North, we completely wiped out the original Wrathful Owl sect that was endangering the world, and allowed the Polar Industries Group to join the alliance."
"In the west, we have just completely wiped out Blackbird Heavy Industries. We have ended the constant fear faced by 13 million people in the west of the continent. They no longer have to worry about themselves, their families, or their friends being singled out and sent to Blackbird City, never to be heard from again."
…
Just hearing this, the owner of the tavern in Yinsha City was somewhat shocked.
In the past, Blackbird Heavy Industry completely dominated this land, especially in the later period. They constantly forced the population to migrate to Blackbird City, promoting the idea of living a good life there.
Everyone believed it at first, but as time went on, although people outside didn't know what was happening inside, the friends and relatives who had gone in could not pass on any news at all.
People gradually began to question this matter, but anyone who dared to question it publicly was often quickly named and taken away;
The bar owner's two children were taken away in this way. In the past, he never believed in conspiracy theories - perhaps he didn't dare to believe it and still held a glimmer of hope.
But the arrival of the alliance completely shattered his fantasy.
He didn't want these fantasies to be exposed. He would rather believe that his son and daughter were still alive; he would rather believe that this was just a dog-eat-dog war among those in power.
