Chapter 178 (1/2)
The target black market is not the super luxury black market supported by he's group. For most businessmen engaged in illegal trading, they can't do the arrangement like he's group. Their trading volume is not so large, and they don't have so many resources. What's more, there are not so many people engaged in gray or black trading, and they can have a mercenary force to support them from behind. That's the height that very few people can achieve, Most of the traders in the ordinary black market just want to make a living.
When it comes to the purpose of operation, in fact, for most black market operators, their purpose is actually to eat and drink.
The war has been going on for many years. In fact, the biggest problem is not the army, but the civilians. No matter in any era or in any world, the biggest victims of war are civilians. When the wounded in the army lose their fighting ability, they will get some pensions and join the ranks of civilians.
Because of the war, the prices of various resources keep rising, the life of civilians is not easy, and the wounded will not make ends meet. In order to survive, they will try their best to eat and go to the rear, which is the practice of some people. Many people choose to stay in the place where they have been for more than ten years. There are their former comrades in arms, all kinds of relationships and all kinds of resources they know. Compared with a strange environment, it is easier for them to survive, The black market gradually took shape.
Of course, some people will respond to the call of the military headquarters to register a legal business license, but after all, that thing will increase the burden on individuals. Therefore, most of the black market operators, mainly veterans and unemployed vagrants, do not hang up their registered legal business license, but rent a place with a large flow of people to start business, In order to save every cent that I earned.
From the perspective of social management costs, the existence of the black market is a cancer, which brings great trouble to the underground city, because basically everything bought and sold here can not be seen. Drugs, weapons and messy things should be available, which will affect part of the energy of the military department. Although the military Department has proposed a solution to this problem, it has never been able to implement it, There are about three reasons,
The first is the human reason. Because of the relationship between the wounded veterans and the main body of the military headquarters, every time the military headquarters wants to sort out the black market, it will somehow lose the following. Of course, a large part of the reason lies in the middle and lower level officers. Many of the operators in the black market are their old subordinates or superiors, which cut off the existence of the black market, Naturally, they have to jump up, so every time the military headquarters discusses this issue, there will be a counter current from the bottom up inside the military headquarters. Sometimes the counter current can be so strong that some meetings will be cancelled directly because of the lack of participants. In this way, those who want to fight against the black market can not find the strength to support them, so they have to give up.
The second reason is the army itself. The origin of the independent resistance organization is not glorious. It was born in mercenaries.
In the early years of the war against the mechanical City, the main force resisting the mechanical city was the United Nations army composed of various countries. However, as the process of the war continued to lengthen and the scope of the war continued to expand, conflicts of interest between countries were exposed in the common advance and retreat.
In the war of a thousand years ago, countries formed a group of allies and a group of allies to fight against each other. Although there were also conflicts of interests, only with the interest of finding out that they could finally win, and the interest of uniting to fight on, could we ignore the conflicts of interests between them, Only in this way can the strong willed side gradually win the war.
However, the hundred year war with the mechanical City, from the beginning of electronic warfare to the later space war, to the later human on the ground, mechanical forces in the sky, and to the beginning of the ground war between human and mechanical animals, led to the gradual defeat of human beings. There was no hope of victory at all. The bitterness and happiness between countries were highlighted, and finally there were many contradictions between them, Even the interest of uniting was exhausted, so in the late stage of the war, the governments of various countries basically stopped sending people, but were quarreling every day.
The content of the quarrel is very broad. How much manpower did you pay today, how much money would you like to pay me tomorrow, your refugees are not well managed, they come to my home, and so on. Everything has to be done. In the end, even the coordination and dispatch of troops became a problem. Gradually, the main force of the battle with the mechanical city was gradually replaced by mercenaries who wanted nothing but money.
