Blackstone Code

The sergeant's eyes looking at Lynch already had a very special luster, just like... the way he looked at the statue of God in a church!

His eyes will glow, and at the same time they will be infected by another kind of brilliance!

It’s like looking at God!

The words he just spoke were a little fast-paced. Lin Qi lit a cigarette and slowed down his speaking speed.

"In fact, the number of shelters built along the equator is far greater than we imagined!"

“Our original idea was for us, that is, me, some people from the Holy Peace Society, and the federal consortium to do this, thirty, forty, or fifty, but not more, because No one has so much power!"

"This is not about building a basement. If you pay tens of thousands of dollars, someone will dig it out for you. This is an underground complex that can accommodate at least two to three hundred thousand people."

"If any of you have read our project plan, you will know that our full capacity requirement for the shelter is to be able to accommodate 500,000 people without overcrowding."

"Twenty billion may be just the starting point, not the end, so not so many people can spend so much money to build so many shelters."

"Our estimate was that there were probably only about 30 shelters, but in fact, we miscalculated people's determination to survive."

Lynch chuckled, "Many countries, big capitalists, they plan to build their own shelters instead of staying with us."

"In this way, the difficulty of building their shelters will plummet. Projects that can accommodate tens of thousands, thousands, or even hundreds of people are being planned."

"What does this illustrate?"

Lynch looked at the management of Blackstone Security. No one could answer Lynch's question. Everyone looked at Lynch like a fool. Who knows what this meant!

Lynch actually doesn't expect them to be able to answer. If they think so fast, they may use their muscles to eat at Blackstone Capital, Blackstone Bank, and Light of Tomorrow instead of Blackstone Security.

"This shows that resources along the equator will become scarce, and human society under the doomsday structure will be much closer than we imagined."

"There's a shelter just a few kilometers away, and maybe seven or eight shelters within a hundred kilometers."

"These shelters are not necessarily large shelters. They may only be small and medium-sized shelters. They have great demands for supplies. They may apply to large shelters to purchase supplies, or sell excess supplies to other shelters."

"No matter what kind of social behavior, it will bring great opportunities and risks. When the resource regeneration of the shelter cannot keep up with the consumption..."

He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and watched as the ashes fell into the ashtray, rolled and shattered into pieces. Then he raised his head, smoking and looking at these people.

While speaking, smoke spurted out from his mouth and nose, "Plundering other shelters has become the only way for them to survive!"

"In that extreme environment, the killing will be more brutal, because for people who are almost completely desperate, maybe humans themselves are also the targets of their hunting, not just for something that other people have."

"So you don't have to worry about whether my idea can be realized. As long as they care about their own safety, they will definitely contact us."

“Hiring us is the best solution!”

"Don't worry about whether our people will be bribed or whether they have any relationship with other management and the ruling class."

"This alone is enough to tempt them."

At this time, the sergeant and others finally understood where Lynch had the confidence to have such an idea, and that was "professionalism."

Unlike a "private army", these people are only loyal to a certain person, and other rulers will feel very insecure.

On the contrary, they are more satisfied with mercenaries who are "business-oriented". At least they don't have to worry that someone will leverage the military power in the shelter to carry out a general purge.

This is also the reason why some people are unwilling to join Vault 6, because Lynch is the greatest strength and the will of the entire Vault.

If they and Lynch had not become a community of interests or a community of destiny, they would not be willing to come over. If something happened, they would really have no place to escape.

"As long as we have enough people..."

Lynch put out the cigarette in the ashtray and pressed it hard, "We have the final say in this world!"

The next day, Senator Landon was in Congress raising some of what was going on.

Because of the end of the world, the meetings of Congress are now basically open to the public, which is also what the people demand.

They called members of Congress "liars," saying they had deceived everyone and kept the devastating news from a handful of people.

Congress is no longer a government institution that the people can trust, it is filled with a bunch of liars!

In order to restore the image of Congress in the minds of the people and to ensure the stability of social order, Congress will now make every meeting public to ensure that people's emotions are stable.

In front of the media, Senate Langdon reported to Congress or the whole society nearly 5,000 serious criminal cases in the past three months.

More than 40,000 people were injured or killed in these cases.

One of the most serious cases was a shooting at an amusement park. A total of four criminals were armed with automatic weapons and shot indiscriminately.

More than 30 people were killed, more than 20 people were seriously injured, and more than 70 people were slightly injured.

After these criminals were arrested, they claimed that the end of the world had arrived and that humans had no hope of survival, so they hoped to take more people away with their own hands.

He also said that these people and after they leave, they will become their slaves in hell and they can enjoy a better life.

This was obviously a premeditated terrorist attack, and all four people had been shot.

Senator Langdon pointed out that the police force was under-fired when arresting these people.

Currently, the federal police force is only equipped with revolvers as law enforcement weapons, and some police officers use their own guns as law enforcement weapons.

Most are pistols with magazines or high-powered shotguns, and only a few use fully automatic rifles.

If the police force had more firepower and better professionalism, at least half of the victims should not be injured or killed!

"...I'm not blaming the local police system for problems, but I want to tell you about the problems we are facing."

"The expansion of the police force has not been well developed. People are resisting becoming police officers at this time. This is a challenge to stable social order!"

"The sooner we solve the problem of lack of law enforcement capabilities, the sooner we can stabilize society, which is of extraordinary significance!"

Senator Langdon wrote this speech based on some data and materials provided by Lynch, plus a little of his own ideas.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the Speaker asked directly, "Senator Langdon, we have already encountered these problems you mentioned in actual work."

"Do you have any good ideas to solve the problem of not being able to recruit more police officers?"

The core problem now is that there are not enough police officers and they cannot recruit police officers.

If this problem can be solved, problems such as insufficient firepower are not a big problem at all. It is nothing more than approving some funds to upgrade weapons.

Senator Langdon nodded, "My idea is to let civilian security teams join in. According to statistics, there are about 170,000 formal employees of security companies registered in the federal government across the country."

"If these people are utilized, the problem of insufficient number of law enforcement personnel and insufficient firepower will be solved immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Congress immediately fell into a heated debate. Everyone was playing politics. Who could not understand the meaning behind Senator Langdon?

And you don’t need to think about it, just look at who is standing behind him, and you will know why he said that today.

There is no doubt that Lynch's Blackstone Security wants to gain more "power", such as law enforcement powers.

Once Senator Langdon's proposal is agreed to, Blackstone Security, as the world's largest security company, will have an unprecedented increase in their weight!

But I have to say that apart from this disadvantage, this proposal has all its advantages!

First of all, the problem of insufficient number of law enforcement personnel can be solved at once, and the problem of insufficient firepower is also solved. The firepower of these security company personnel can be very fierce.

The financial pressure will also be much less. Thousands of police officers died during this period, and the pensions for these sacrificed police officers alone exceeded 12 million.

Not to mention the various subsequent sacrifice subsidies, etc.

There is not only financial pressure, but also pressure from public opinion.

But when a company employee dies at work, all the pressure falls on the company. The company provides pensions and subsidies. The company also bears the pressure of public opinion and morals!

After all, this is what they do, and these contents will be stipulated in the contract they signed.

But...then again, if power is delegated to these private armed forces, no one knows where this society will go next!

The Speaker frowned instinctively. He wanted to say something, but instead of saying it, he let people vote.

Unsurprisingly, the vote did not pass, and it seemed that the difference was not very bad. Some members who voted against it also said that it required investigation and hearings before they could finally decide whether to vote in favor.

This is the most common scene in Congress. Someone submits a proposal, and the rest of the people work together to form a "almost passed" situation, and then start a long process of public relations and lobbying.

Senator Langdon also knew this, but he was not anxious at all, "In order to prove that this proposal is effective in stabilizing social order, York State has cooperated with Blackstone Security and established a special rapid response mobile team. To deal with the vicious cases that occurred in York State..."
