Chapter 469 (1/2)
”Ha? I lost my job? ”
Just after the closure, king, who planned to rest for a few days, opened the information and found the news about the government's military control.
”Hey, Hickey...”
King dialed Sikh's phone. However, in an instant, he immediately took away his mobile phone, because Sikh shouted excitedly and his voice was very harsh after receiving King's phone.
”Hoo, king, you're finally back.”
Finally, seach took a deep breath and restrained his impatience.
”What the hell is going on?”
King is completely confused about the newly established military control commission.
”It's a long story. I have a long story. There are six key points...”
”Oh, I see.”
After half a ring, king suddenly realized that he had finally figured out the context of the military control commission. In short, the government was too tough to sit back and watch the hero Association continue to develop, and deliberately recycled the privileges of the hero Association.
”Aren't they afraid of arousing public anger?”
King is very puzzled. Their heroes have existed for three or four years. In the era of invisible government, it is the heroes who rush to the front, bleed and sweat to protect the citizens. Even if the government is strong, how dare they kill the heroes with a stick?
”King, these politicians are smart. Before arousing public anger, they have promoted you and other S-class heroes as honorary president, honorary director and honorary member of the military control commission. In short, they have arranged the heroes clearly, and awarded medals to the heroes with outstanding achievements to commend their contributions, It also means that heroes can apply for employment in government civil servants, which is equivalent to providing for the elderly. Of course, they also say that the government has enough ability to protect citizens, so they will let heroes release Ma Nanshan and enjoy the happy and leisurely life... A series of operations, coupled with manipulation, secretly manipulate the media ”
“……”
The arrangement is clear and justified, which makes it impossible to refute.
”However, king, you haven't shown up, so you haven't been awarded a medal. He just named you as the honorary president of the military control council. Of course, it's just an honorary president, and basically has no real power.”
Hickey sighed.
”Honorary president?”
King was stunned. He worshipped himself like a fairy and didn't let his fairy interfere in earthly affairs.
”Well, I already understand. I'm unemployed.”
He couldn't laugh or cry. When he closed the door and worked hard to improve his strength, he was inexplicably unemployed. However, for him, unemployment just lost a source of money, but it didn't affect other aspects of life. Even because he wasn't a hero, he didn't have the responsibility to ”put out the fire” to save people everywhere. Just be an otaku with peace of mind.
Moreover, he does not think that the government has done wrong. When the government has enough ability to protect citizens, there should not be violent organizations among the people, otherwise it will easily become an unstable factor for world unity.
If the government and violent organizations don't want to let each other, the result will only be a round of unrest until the winner is determined. At a time when freak disasters are frequent, unrest in the world is definitely a serious blow to citizens.
However, the government does fuck up. It is too anxious to seize power, causing many unfair treatment to the heroes who once worked hard for the cause of world peace.
For example, in many dynasties in history, at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, many meritorious statesmen, whose existence threatened the rulers, so the rulers usually took advantage of their ability to control the situation to clean up the meritorious statesmen one by one and maintain their rule.
Many people will sympathize with the heroes who died in vain, but this is politics!
”King, aren't you angry?” Xichi said in a strange tone: ”they completely overhead you and make use of your fame...”
”By the way, I have a question to ask. When I am the honorary president of the military control commission, do they pay wages?” King is very curious.
”... should be paid.”
Hickey was tongue tied and could hardly react.
”Oh, it doesn't matter. Life is even more comfortable.”
King whispers to himself and receives the salary of the hero Association. He needs to make great efforts. While receiving the government pension, he can be a house man at ease and concentrate on improving his strength to defeat Saitama.
Therefore, the compulsory rule of the government is in his favor.
“……”
Xiqi smiled bitterly. It seems that he can't expect to rely on King to speak. At the same time, he secretly admired King's mind. Before, he was clearly a great hero admired by thousands of people and reduced to the honorary president of pension now. King's tone was not angry, even full of joy.
Maybe a person like King is a real hero. He will support unconditionally as long as it is beneficial to the people, even if it damages his own interests.
”What's going on outside?”
King hung up his phone and turned on the disaster news channel on the TV.
”An hour ago, a ghost level disaster freak appeared in P City, and the military machinery brigade quickly dispatched to eliminate the ghost level disaster freak before it caused widespread damage. Congratulations...”
”According to our reporter's feedback, there are tiger level disaster monsters in X city. However, the military machinery brigade dispatched very quickly and completely eliminated tiger level disaster monsters in only one minute...”
