Chapter 991 Resistance Organization (Second update, please subscribe)
Diana, holding a stack of books in her arms and wearing a straw hat, would always nod to people she met on her way home from school.
This is true even if you encounter the military police.
The military police are worse than the city police!
In Rio... no, it should be Huizhou, many people think so. At least you can joke with the police, and even say: "If you let me go, I can introduce my sister (sister, daughter) to you."
Although the police and the gendarmes are basically of Chinese descent, they are completely different. The police not only patrol the streets every day, but also often interact with ordinary citizens. However, the gendarmes are different. Those fully armed gendarmes are always staring at everyone with vigilance.
Moreover, not all gendarmes can understand Portuguese. To the citizens, they are all strangers. What is the scariest thing about it?
Even if you are arrested by the police, at most you will go to court, be sentenced, and be put in prison. But if you are arrested by the military police, no one knows where you will be held.
Is it special high technology?
Or Lubyanka?
Or the Gulag, or what?
In short, there are countless possibilities, but in the end, that person will definitely appear as an exile in a colony in Africa, and will never be able to return to Brazil, no, to the Ming Empire. Of course, it is impossible for him to return to his family.
That is why everyone keeps their distance from the military police. After all, they mean death, exile, and bad things.
The military police are here to stop children from crying.
However, Diana did not seem to have this awareness. After politely greeting the patrolling gendarmes, she walked into the residential area. This place used to be a slum. After Rio was occupied, the imperial officials transformed Rio's slums. The damp and dilapidated slums were turned into neat apartments. What is different from the residential areas where Chinese people live is that the rooms in these residential areas are mostly within 70 square meters, but this does not prevent people from living here.
Although she is a teacher at the school, Diana also lives in such a community. As she entered the corridor, Ah Hu, who was sitting behind the window screen on the third floor opposite, said.
"Inspector, the target has appeared."
"Keep watching."
Ma Rulong, sitting on the sofa, continued to look through the target family's water bill.
"Since December last year, water consumption has suddenly increased dramatically. If I live alone, I definitely can't use that much water. I have to go to the toilet more than 20 times every night."
With a cold smile, Ma Rulong muttered to himself.
"Can you still have diarrhea every day?"
The sky gradually darkened, and Ah Hu, who was sitting by the window, kept taking pictures of the people entering and leaving the apartment building with his camera.
At this time, the owner of the house came over nervously holding a cup of tea.
"General, General, bite and check?"
"Mr. Romario, don't bother. We will come if we need it."
Ma Rulong said, looking through the middle-aged homeowner to the children hiding in the crack of the door.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, there will be absolutely no problems. By the way, have you obtained a work permit?"
Looking at the homeowner in front of him, Ma Rulong asked with a smile.
"Hai, Hai, no, I... Flower language, not good..."
"It's okay. When it's over, I can write you a letter of recommendation. It shouldn't be a problem."
Ma Rulong’s words brought joy to Romario’s face. What does a work permit mean?
More jobs and higher incomes.
In the occupied areas, the Ming Dynasty implemented strict military control. Long-term fixed work required a work permit. Those who obtained a work permit would be considered "good citizens" by default. However, the prerequisite for obtaining a work permit was to pass the first-level Chinese proficiency test, which meant being able to understand Chinese and have simple communication. In addition, there were certificates such as tobacco and non-staple food purchase permits and medical cards. Without those certificates, no one could move forward.
Work permits have always been a tool used by the Security Bureau, the police, the gendarmerie and other agencies to bribe their partners.
"Those are your children, right? Take these candy coupons and buy them some candy."
The imperial officials have always been generous to the collaborators. In addition to work permits, they also give them some small favors. In addition to food stamps, meat stamps, candy stamps, milk stamps and other non-staple food stamps are the most common means.
These food coupons are not cash, but their role in the northern twelve provinces is definitely no less than that of cash. After all, without these food coupons, it is impossible to buy food with only money. People can go without tea, but they cannot go without food.
Based on the Empire's experience in Shanxi, the unified purchase and sale of food and the food voucher system are the most effective means of squeezing the living space of resistance organizations.
"Thank you, thank you sir, thank you..."
Romario thanked him excitedly, saying that just by providing a room to assist the police in surveillance, not only did it solve his job, but he also gave him a voucher for one kilogram of candy, which was a great thing.
While he was excited, Romario had already started to wonder if there were any suspicious elements around him. After all, cooperating with the imperial officials would always pay off.
Just then, Ahu said.
"Sir, there are guests at the target's house, no less than six people."
After observing through the telescope for a while, Ah Hu said.
"They appear to be printing something on a mimeograph machine... probably leaflets."
“Oh, let me see…”
After taking the telescope and observing for a while, Ma Rulong frowned slightly and then doubted in his heart.
“Is it just a small spontaneous group?”
Among the resistance organizations in the twelve northern provinces, there are roughly two types of resistance forces. Some of them hide in the rainforest, and some hide in the city. Most of them are former soldiers and plantation owners. They are either connected with the exiled regime in Lisbon, or they are spontaneous resistance. Their resistance is mainly based on force.
Another type is the resistance organizations in the city. The resistance activities they engage in are mostly destructive, such as destroying public facilities and posting leaflets. There are many organizations of this type. In addition to the peripheral groups of the resistance army, there are also many spontaneous small groups.
Of course, some of these organizations will eventually evolve into armed resistance as long as they obtain weapons or have the right opportunity.
What kind of group are these people? Is it a peripheral group of the Resistance, a sleeper force, or some new small group?
"Inspector, what do we do now?"
His partner's question interrupted Ma Rulong's thoughts. He thought about it and then spoke.
"Take their picture, and then..."
Pursing his lips, Ma Rulong said decisively.
"After verifying their identities first, arrest all of these people!"
