In October of the 121st year of the universe, except for the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th colonies which were not affected by the war, the remaining 4 colonies were still in constant war.
Today, a brigade-level fleet of the Skywing Mercenaries arrived at a Sector 3 colony.
We arrived at a colonial satellite that had just been annexed a month ago. Many areas of this colonial satellite had been severely destroyed. The annexed country did not actively rebuild the colonial satellite, but was actively holding local elections.
Abandoned houses and buildings are hung with portraits and posters of local candidates.
The local government had no intention of rebuilding the local colony, but instead followed the local candidates (for the election of the chief governor of the colony).
They don't care about the lives of local people at all.
Long Fei didn't quite understand why his wife Taoxiang wanted to bring the children to travel with him to a place like this.
After arriving at the destination, Taoxiang whispered in his ear that she wanted to come to such a place mainly because she wanted to let her children know that not everyone in the world is as happy as they are.
"The problem is that these two little ones are only two years old. Can they understand such complicated things?"
"Don't treat them as ordinary children. These two little ones are very smart. Can a two-year-old child speak as eloquently and clearly as them?"
Long Fei thought about it and realized that his two twin daughters were indeed very smart. They mastered those words and sentences very quickly, and had already mastered the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division multiplication tables 1 to 12. Most two-year-old children might still be just playing games now.
These two little ones can already read and write. I think my wife brought the children here perhaps to let them see the sufferings of the world and to teach them some sense of right and wrong.
With the arrival of Long Fei and his family, although the local candidates for the position of colony satellite leader wanted to interview Long Fei to increase their popularity, Long Fei directly refused their platform and interviews.
For Long Fei, he is very disgusted with this kind of elected politicians, who make a lot of campaign promises before taking office, and then say one thing and do another after taking office. Long Fei hates this kind of politicians very much, because these people are just a bunch of people who can only brag but can't do anything.
What’s more important is that this kind of politician is very short-sighted, and Long Fei hates him very much.
Then, Momoka took her husband and two children to a relief center.
This relief center was also funded by Taoxiang using her husband's money. When the director of the relief center learned of Taoxiang's arrival, he brought his staff to welcome Taoxiang.
The person in charge asked the refugee children to bring flowers to Taoxiang.
Taoxiang took it and thanked the children.
Momoka asked the person in charge not to greet her like this in the future.
Long Fei held his two daughters' hands and looked at the relief center, which was not very large, but there were boxes of relief supplies placed in front of the staff.
Long Fei looked at the relief items in the box, which included instant noodles, potatoes, rice, cooking oil, canned food, some fresh vegetables and mineral water.
Long Fei frowned as he saw these foods. He found that many of them were trademarks of Tianyi Group. Long Fei also knew that these foods were obtained by his wife in his name to get Tianyi Group's food companies, planting companies, etc. to provide charitable assistance.
One thing that Long Fei didn’t quite understand was why there were donations of mineral water?
Long Fei called the director in charge and asked, "Director, why is there mineral water in the relief food? Is there a water shortage in your colony?"
"The problem is not that there is a shortage of water, but that the price of water is getting more and more expensive."
"What does this mean? I don't understand?"
"To put it simply, a 5-liter bottle of mineral water in the box now costs at least 20 colonial coins in our local area."
Long Fei frowned as he heard this and thought, "This price is too outrageous. In my local Colony of District 6, even the A-rated mineral water costs less than 5 colonial coins for 5 liters."
Long Fei pointed to the 5-liter bottle of C-grade mineral water from Tianyi Mineral Water Company in the box and asked, "How much does this grade of mineral water sell for in your area now?"
"25 yuan."
"What about B-level?"
"35 yuan."
Long Fei frowned and said, "Such a price is too outrageous. What is your local government doing? Isn't there any price control?"
"Boss Long, we are not afraid of you laughing at us for saying something unpleasant. Although the country used to belong to a monarchy, the government officials at that time did some good things and helped the people. But since the country and the system changed, the current government officials, including some politicians who came from nowhere, only engage in politics every day, but do not know how to help the people, let alone those in need."
Long Guo and Long Fu shook their father's hand, pointed to the children playing in an abandoned amusement park not far away and said, "Dad, can we play with them?"
Long Fei looked at the children in worn-out clothes and could tell that these children were victims of the war, and at the moment they were playing carefree.
Long Fei asked the director, "Director, where are the parents of those children?"
"Their parents died in the war, and they are the children we took in."
"Does your shelter also have an orphanage?"
"Alas, we are not running an orphanage. We are just trying to take in some war orphans. In fact, there are still many war orphans struggling to survive in this colony satellite, wandering around, and even stealing. Many people want to help them, but they can't protect themselves. They can only let them fend for themselves. My relief center can only help as much as we can."
"Dad, can we play with them?" The two little ones looked at their dad with watery eyes.
"Go ahead."
The two little ones happily ran to play with the orphans.
Two nannies and dozens of Tianyi mercenaries followed the two young ladies, responsible for protecting their safety.
Long Fei watched the two little ones playing, then watched Tao Xiang comforting the people who received relief, and also watched those people line up in an orderly manner and leave the scene with the relief items.
Suddenly, a dispute broke out not far away, attracting the attention of Long Fei and his wife as well as the director.
Everyone went to check out what was going on and quite a few people were watching the two people arguing.
The man in yellow accused the man in green.
"How could you be so excessive? You and your wife both have jobs and income, so why did you take these relief items? These relief items are for people who have lost their jobs and income, so how could you take them? And you and your wife took turns taking one. You are really too much."
Everyone blamed the man in green, but he said nonchalantly, "So what if my wife and I take these relief items? What's your business? Anyway, there's no rule that people with jobs and income can't take relief items."
"How can you be so shameless!"
"You two can each take one, and two people in need will not get relief items."
Long Fei and Tao Xiang frowned as they watched. Long Fei suggested to the director, "Director, I think you should first let those who need help apply for information, and then give them relief items if you find that they are in need."
"Alas, Boss Long, we did do this before, but we still encountered many shameless people who made a scene here in our area and then hired some people to film and discredit us." The director said helplessly.
Mr. and Mrs. Long Fei looked at each other and shook their heads. It was really helpless to encounter such a thing.
Soon, a candidate for the position of colony leader came to the relief center, took a group of reporters to take a series of photos and interviews, and then brought some supplies to donate to the people.
But the people did not smile at all when they received the supplies.
Then when the candidate saw the Long Fei couple, he ran over to shake hands with them, but the Long Fei couple didn't even look at him well.
Long Fei directly and mercilessly accused these candidates: "When the people need help, you don't necessarily come to help them. Instead, you wait until the election to come and take photos with the people insincerely, pretending to help the people, so that you can cheat the people's votes, so that you can sit back and reap your own benefits, and throw all the promises you made aside. You politicians are so shameless that it makes people feel disgusted."
"Good!" Many people at the scene burst into warm applause, because Long Fei's words touched their hearts.
The candidate felt very embarrassed when Long Fei accused him in person.
