Blackstone Code

This is a very special dinner.

A group of senior naval officers and generals stood together and sang the Navy's military song. Then they took off their military uniforms and rowed on the lake.

After playing in the water for a while, everyone returned to the shore. After a simple tidying up, they put on their ironed military uniforms again and started enjoying dinner.

The only person here who is not a soldier is Lynch.

We didn't discuss anything special during the dinner. The meal was quiet and fast. Only after the meal was finished, the atmosphere withdrew from the somewhat serious atmosphere during the meal.

Lynch didn't know if this was some kind of military custom, but he just assumed it was.

"This is our chief steward!" After the meal, Lieutenant General Lin Qi, and a major general came to the side to chat, and everyone else spontaneously avoided the place.

The "big housekeeper" introduced by His Excellency the Lieutenant General looks to be in his forties or close to his fifties. His temples are a little gray, but he looks very energetic and not fat.

In the introduction of His Excellency the Vice-Admiral, the Grand Steward is responsible for the current naval logistics on the east coast.

This also includes the placement of some decommissioned warships, which are all logistical responsibilities.

It is said that they are retired, but in fact many warships are still in service. However, the new military expansion plan and the new warship budget have been passed. All navies are thinking about driving new warships. So what about those that are currently in service?

They can only be retired, but it would be a pity to retire. Among them, the ships with the best condition have all been converted into training ships for daily training.

But there will be some left.

There is still a big gap between warships and civilian freighters, and certain modifications are needed.

But even if warships have been modified, they often leave many traces. These traces may not be anything at all in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of some military experts, they can use these traces to infer some important parameters.

Therefore, even if warships are retired, they rarely have the opportunity to enter the civilian field. Most of them are used as target ships in training.

It is indeed a pity to do so.

However, Lynch is a trustworthy person. Coupled with some cover-up modifications, some retired warships may not be able to be converted into transport ships, not to mention that there are already military transport ships and they also need to be decommissioned.

Externally they will claim that these ships have been sunk during training, but in fact they are in other places, continuing the mission for which they were built. This can be regarded as a new life.

money?

Of course, you have to give money to buy things.

Lynch shook hands with the logistics major general. The two briefly chatted for a few words. After understanding Lynch's needs, they made a new appointment.

This is the Lieutenant General's party, and they don't intend to turn this into a business negotiation scene.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that Lin Qi left the Lieutenant General's manor and returned to his home.

When entering the community gate, Lynch noticed two homeless people on the roadside, and the security guards of the community were negotiating with them.

As one of the well-known wealthy areas in Bupen, the Mid-Levels Villa District has always been famous throughout the federation for its high-end community environment. How could it be possible to tolerate two homeless people here?

Of course, Lynch just took one look and looked away. The security guards of the community service company would take care of all this, and they had to be worthy of their monthly salary.

This is not because Lynch looks down on homeless people, or looks down on the poor. He has never thought or done this, but the homeless people in the Commonwealth do not deserve sympathy.

The federal government actually has ample experience and measures to deal with homeless people. For example, rescue stations provide free food and accommodation. These are municipal financial expenses and do not require homeless people to bear even a penny. cost.

As long as they are registered, if they are unwilling to go home or have no home to go back to, the rescue station will also arrange some work for them, which of course is all heavy physical work.

You have already become a homeless person, so don’t think about whether the accommodation environment is beautiful, whether the food is plentiful, or whether the work is easy.

In other words, the federal government has a complete process for transforming homeless people into workers at the bottom of society, but the homeless people are unwilling to take help from society and the federal government. They are actually unwilling to contribute their cheap physical strength to society and capitalists. These people It's really bad.

They would rather lie on the street, beg for some change from passers-by, and live in confusion all day long, rather than work hard to change their lives.

So these people deserve no sympathy at all.

Some time ago, the Federation also released a story about a homeless man who changed and became a winner in life. The superb performances of the actors and the excellent script did not impress the homeless people. They are still lazy and have become the garbage of this city.

One of these two homeless people is Sanchez.

Judging from his appearance, he looked nothing like before. In addition, the federal people did not have a deep impression of him, so it was difficult to recognize him immediately. He approached here without incident.

Even earlier, he had sneaked into the mid-level villa area.

This is due to "the inexplicable trust that Federal people have in others to have morality and education." To put it simply, all Federal people hope that others will abide by the law and be a five-star good citizen.

But actually this is impossible.

In Marillo, Sanchez's yard not only has a tall wall with barbed thorns, but also an electric fence on the wall.

He often hangs people on the wall and waits for them to slowly die.

But in the Federation, the short fence that can be stepped over cannot be called a "wall" at all, but the Federation people still stupidly think that they can play a protective role and isolate the invasion of bad guys.

It’s fucking amazing.

Lynch was not there when he went in during the day, so he was walking around with a tool man.

As it got darker, he had to get closer to the gate. If he was too far away, he wouldn't be able to tell whether Lynch was back.

Just now, he saw Lin Qi sitting in the car, and Lin Qi came back.

"Look, here's two dollars, I don't care what you do, just don't show up here while I'm on duty, got it?"

The security guard took out the baton from his waist and said, "Don't make me attack you, okay?"

"Take the money and get out!"

If a resident complained, he would at least be criticized by his superiors, and at worst, his salary or even bonus would be deducted. He would not allow such a thing to happen.

Sanchez took another tool man he met halfway and left here quickly.

The two met in the afternoon.

At that time, Sanchez was looking for an opportunity to enter the mid-level villa area. When he passed by the side street of the villa area, he was discovered by this guy.

At that time, the tool man was going through the garbage in the villa area with other homeless people.

Every year, the garbage in the villa area is piled up at the garbage station on the side street and waits for the garbage truck to be taken away. Before that, the homeless people sort the garbage as quickly as possible.

I have to say that the domestic waste generated by the top wealthy communities is very magical. There is almost everything in it.

For example, the most common thing is change, which are small-denomination coins that add up to dozens of dollars every day.

Then there are all kinds of inconspicuous trinkets. These seemingly inconspicuous things can often be sold for dozens or even hundreds of dollars in antique stores.

There is also some food, many ingredients or cooked food are properly packed in bags and discarded in the garbage dump, which is also one of the main targets of homeless people.

As for gold products, some gemstones and the like are occasionally available, but not often. In short, this has developed into an industry.

There used to be more people, and dozens of homeless people would gather here every day to wait for their daily garbage.

A distinguished lady passing by expressed uneasiness about the appearance of a large group of homeless people, and then the community service company began to evict them, but some people still took the opportunity to come.

When the tool man saw Sanchez, he followed him. In the words of the tool man, Sanchez was not a good guy at first glance. He must have wanted to enter the community and steal things.

And this is exactly what the tool man wants to do.

Just picking up things in the garbage dump is enough for his daily needs. If he can go in and steal something, maybe he won't have to worry about eating and resting this month.

Sanchez, who discovered the "secret", brought the tool man with him. He needed someone to distract the agents for him.

When he sneaked in during the day, he found traces of some agents, and he needed a helper.

At this time, the tool man bent down and picked up four coins on the ground under the drag of Sanchez and left cursing.

Although he is a tool man and a homeless man, he has his own personality and dignity.

The two bypassed the main street and came to the garbage station from the side street.

There is a side door to the garbage station. The wall around the side door is not high, so it is easy to climb up.

There is also a garbage dump inside the wall. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it stinks. No one will stay here, so it is relatively safe.

After the two entered the villa area, Sanchez purposefully took the tool to the opposite place to the villa where Lynch lived. They found an unlit villa.

The two of them got in easily and found a spare key under the carpet outside the door.

"You go to the second floor and I'll be on the first floor, or you go to the first floor and I'll go to the second floor." Sanchez stood at the door and looked at the tool man.

"Do you think I will be fooled?" The tool man was a little disdainful of the layering proposed by Sanchez. "No, I won't be fooled. I want to go to the second floor."

"It's said on TV that those damn rich people will set up their cloakrooms in their bedrooms, and so will their safes. I'm on the second floor and you are on the first floor."

Sanchez nodded and entered the room in the dark, while the tool man went up to the second floor in the dark.

After waiting for about three minutes, Sanchez quietly came to the kitchen. He turned on the stove to the lowest setting and put a blanket on the stove.

After doing this, he left quickly and walked towards Lynch's villa. He walked for about five or six minutes. The completely ignited blanket set off the smoke alarm and alerted the community service company...
