Crossing A Small Country And Developing GDP To The First Place

Friday, December 3rd.

27 days after the Sankara coup.

Republic of Burkinia, Dougagu Municipality.

It is said to be the city hall, but it is actually a six-story building less than 20 meters away. The outer walls have begun to peel off after thirty years of wind and rain.

before,

National government departments and city government departments all work in this building, which is very crowded. If you are not careful, you will step on the heels of others.

Now,

After Sankara became president, he moved all the national government departments to the Presidential Palace, turning the “Presidential Palace” in name only into a real presidential palace.

In an office on the second floor.

Several officials with thinning hair were sitting at their desks. Their hands looked very busy, but they were chatting non-stop.

“Now that I can’t step on the heels of other people’s shoes, I feel empty in my heart.”

“Are you stepping on the heels of other people’s shoes? When has it not happened that you were stepped on the heels of others’ shoes, and then came to us with a sullen face to complain. You complain every day when you are stepped on, and now you can’t step on them anymore. I think you are a bitch. leather.”

“Hahaha……”

“By the way, have you heard? Our newly elected president seems to have obtained a large sum of money from nowhere, and then gave all the money to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health.”

“Isn’t it right? I heard that it was all given to the Ministry of Agriculture, which imported a large amount of grain. The cheap grain that appeared on the streets a few days ago came from here!”

“Shit! Why did I hear that it was all given to the Ministry of National Defense? Don’t forget, a week or two ago, the army was recruiting new soldiers on a large scale. If the money was not given to them, how could they suddenly recruit so many new soldiers? !”

“Are these the key points? Shouldn’t the key point be our wages? They promised to increase our wages, but now the money is given to other places. What will happen to our wages?”

“Uh… That seems to be the case, but the salary increase documents have been sent out a long time ago. There’s no way it won’t count now, right?”

“Ha! Is there anything impossible in our Republic of Burkina?”

“That’s right, don’t forget the former president. He directly owed us half a year’s salary. I thought it was a financial problem with the government, but it turned out that he used our money to build his own mansion, buy luxury cars, and… It’s a yacht, and we haven’t received our salary for the past six months!”

“I said can you please stop talking? The more you talk about it, the more panic I get. Originally, I was thinking of waiting for my salary to be paid and using the increase to buy some gifts for my wife. But now that I hear what you say, I feel that I shouldn’t It’s said that the salary has been increased, but whether I can get the original salary is a question!”

“Sigh… Is this something that can be decided by what we say? In the end, don’t we have to decide whether we are the right person? I just hope that what the new president said on the radio is indeed his true words.”

“Isn’t it? Let everyone have enough to eat, let everyone wear warm clothes, and let everyone have a job. Do you believe this kind of nonsense? Then you might as well believe that I am God!”

“Squeak!” Just as these officials were sighing, a middle-aged man suddenly opened the office door and said excitedly:

“Why are you still sitting here? Don’t you want last month’s salary? Those guys from the Finance Bureau are now paying wages to people in various departments!”

“!?”

…

Fourth floor, Municipal Finance Bureau.

The corridors, which had been empty due to the relocation of state government departments, became crowded again.

The corridors and stairs were filled with people coming to collect their wages, and everyone’s faces were full of joy and eagerness.

“Why are wages paid today?”

“Are you stupid? The fifth is Sunday. You come to work alone on Sunday, right?”

“That’s not right! In the past, if the 5th fell on a Saturday or a Sunday, the delivery would be postponed to the 6th or even the 7th. Now it’s actually been delivered in advance?”

“Hey, hey… stop crowding! Stop crowding!”

“Which bastard stepped on my heel?”

“My new leather shoes!”

Everyone is rushing forward, as if they are afraid that if they arrive late, they will not get their wages.

Uh…okay!

In the Republic of Burkina, it used to happen that if you arrived late, you would not receive your salary. It was like some high school cafeterias. If you arrived late, you would not even see the leftovers.

“Huh!? That’s not right!”Just as everyone was pushing forward, a very surprised voice suddenly came from the front.

For a moment, everyone who was still noisy suddenly became quiet.

Because they heard a key word – “Isn’t it right?”

What’s wrong?

“It’s not like there was a salary increase that was promised, but in fact there was no increase at all, right?”

“Maybe you won’t even get the original salary!”

“What’s wrong? Don’t half-talk!”

Just as everyone was speculating in low voices, they heard the voice in front continue to say:

“According to the latest standards, my salary last month should have been five thousand North African CFA francs, right? Why did you give me an extra twenty-four thousand?”

“What? This extra 24,000 yuan is the new president’s repayment of half a year’s salary arrears from the previous president!?”

“???”

“!!!”

After these words came out, in an instant, it seemed as if the whole world had been pressed on the pause button. Everyone was stunned on the spot, and their small eyes were full of confusion and shock.

At this moment, everyone was wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

Can the words “new president, replacement, incoming president, arrears, half-year salary” appear together? Are you sure this isn’t science fiction?

After a brief silence, there was an earth-shattering sensation.

Everyone is excited!

“Have you really paid back half a year’s salary arrears?”

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“Let me see, let me see!”

“Don’t crowd, don’t crowd, it’s going to kill people!”

“Get out of the way, get out of the way, it’s time for me to get my salary!”

“Stop stepping on them! These are my new leather shoes!”

After everyone received their wages, they looked at the obviously extra portion and fell into a self-doubting silence.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Only sporadic voices were heard shouting loudly:

“Long live the new president! Long live!”

Then, everyone shouted long live the new president, and their voices broke through the roof and resounded through the sky.

If Sankara were here, he would definitely find that the loyalty of almost everyone has increased a lot at this moment.

The number of loyal officials who originally numbered around 60 or even 50 has increased to 70+.

If we say that Sankara’s rule before was still a castle in the air, there was a risk of collapse at any time.

So now, at least at this moment, for almost all officials——

They don’t recognize anyone except Sankara!

…

It’s still the same office from the beginning.

The few people who had received their wages were happily counting the banknotes in their hands.

“One hundred, two hundred, three hundred… a total of 40,000 North African CFA francs, hehe, I have never seen so much money at once!”

“I’m so envious. If only I could reach your level, I would be able to get an extra two thousand North African CFA francs every month!”

“Don’t worry, if you survive for another five years, you will almost reach my level.”

“I can only say that from today on, I am the new president’s most loyal dog. I will bite whoever he asks me to bite!”

“Shit! I am the new president’s most loyal dog!”

“Isn’t it? Are you all vying to be dogs? Are you so mean? I’m different. I want to be the new president’s most loyal dog, hehehehe…”

Just as a few people were talking and laughing with each other, a very noisy sound suddenly came from outside the door.

“Who are you? Who allowed you to enter my office? Get out of here!”
