Chapter 106
Most of the transportation vehicles in the national tunnel are small cars running on tracks, some like taxis. Originally, there was no such transportation system in the national tunnels. In addition to the subway, you can drive by yourself. Considering that too freedom will cause an already overwhelming tunnel traffic, which will cause a devastating disaster due to excessive freedom, the underground system combines taxis in the underground system and creates a track taxi to cooperate with the subway system to meet people's travel needs in the dungeon world. Four-wheeled vehicles are strictly prohibited.
There are vehicles for officers in the military headquarters, but due to cost control, only a few senior officers can use them, so others have to choose rail taxis as official vehicles. In most cases, people in the military headquarters will choose rail taxis instead of subways, because this can save precious time as much as possible without having to wait one stop at a time. Therefore, Ximei at the Yamashita often chooses rail taxis when traveling, and he is not unfamiliar with this thing.
Generally speaking, taxis will be elegant business decorations so that the riders can relax and feel comfortable. However, the taxi that Ximei Yamashita took this time is not the usual business type car. Like the four special police officers in front of her, this car has become unrecognizable and has become a non-mainstream space! The two red and yellow LED particles in the car are painted into a skeleton pattern. The skeleton's arms are painted very long, leading to the front end of the driving position, slowly transitioning from red to green, and a red flower painted on the fingers, which is weird and charming. Everyone is sitting inside, as if they are being held in their arms by a skeleton, feeling exciting and terrifying.
Philona threw her hair into two horn buns, and then wore a mutated version of a short cheongsam, with red and black colors, hollow leather materials, and heavy makeup. She completely took off the sense of justice of a prosecutor of the Ministry of Law and turned into a rebellious version... This young woman refreshed her. It turned out that those who looked tall and arrogant would have such impressive results after changing their outfits...
After summarizing the current environment, Hidemi Yamashita came to a conclusion that the car was not the main one. Philona's outfit completely turned him into the only alien in this non-mainstream world.
Of course, this seems to be Philona's purpose. As a person in the supply center of the logistics department, she knows her many people. No matter how she dresses up, it seems difficult not to let those keen-eyed businessmen recognize her. Instead of putting on makeup, it is better to just show it to others locally. Philona transforms into a social person and goes shopping with Himi Yamashita. It seems that it becomes common. There is nothing to be wary of or doubtful. If you want to cooperate with the military, who doesn't deliberately and must please the people in the supply center?
Of course, the Toyonio knew that no matter what Philona became, she was standing on her head. The Ministry of Law mastered all discipline matters. Usually they could be arrogant to everyone. The only thing they met was that when they met the Ministry of Law, they became eggplants beaten by frost - they were so wilted that they could no longer wilt. So it didn't matter how Philona dressed up. As long as she could complete today's task, everything was acceptable.
"You are just a cover." This is Philonna's definition of Ximei in Yamashita.
"The military headquarters has been ignoring transactions on the black market for a long time. That's because, from an overall perspective, the black market is actually the most efficient and operating commercial system in the dungeon base and the smallest operating cost for the military headquarters. The military headquarters does not need to invest in the black market every year, but can solve the problem of purchasing a large part of the items through the black market. This so-called investment is not only that it does not have to pay the necessary costs like ordinary institutions, but also reduces a lot of regulatory expenses. Without a large amount of investment, the military headquarters has never lost taxes and fines for the black stockings. This is one of the large amount of funds in the military's financial system. Therefore, for so many years, the military headquarters has basically turned a blind eye to the existence of the dungeon black market and acquiesced its existence."
"The existence of the military headquarters is a product of compromise. During wartime, if some things are operated according to standard governments and undergo layers of democratic evaluation, debate, decision-making, and I am afraid that when the results are achieved, the troops of the Mechanical City have already slaughtered the dungeon. These so-called "things" are not only related to politics, but also to war, but naturally, including economics. The middle school textbooks say that politics is an external manifestation of the economy. In this chaotic era, the rapid economic decision-making results need to be realized by an organization, which is the basis for the existence of the military headquarters. From the perspective of integrity, although the military headquarters is not reasonable - absolute power leads to absolute corruption, this principle makes the existence efficiency of the military headquarters far exceed that of the government organizations of a certain country. Therefore, in terms of actual results, governments of various countries have more or less defaulted on and even supported the existence of independent resistance organizations, which is the background of the existence of the dungeon headquarters."
"Just like the existence of the military headquarters, the existence of the black market is also a product of compromise. In order to quickly complete some things that cannot be completed by the normal path of the same destination, ignore democracy and concentrate on completing the established tasks. When the military headquarters handles things, some things are left to the black market. For example, some procurements you carry out, many of them may not even be able to get the roots back if they are handled by the government. Of course, since most things are shameless, how to solve problems such as corruption and misappropriation has become a problem that must be faced. This is an important reason why our Ministry of Law has improved its status. You should know this."
Yamashita Xiumei nodded. The oriental woman nodded naturally than anything else, and she was born with a bit of maid.
Philona smiled slightly and continued: "For the black market, the military department does not care about it on the surface, which is not the same as allowing its own development to change from an underground organization that can be used for me to an unsafe factor that threatens the security of the dungeon. The Ministry of Law has formulated a "Skylight Plan" to specifically implement the secret investigation of the black market. In the past, for some reasons, it did not pay attention to the Skylight Plan, conducted a large-scale survey, and lacked some basic intelligence. Therefore, the Ministry of Law has not had first-hand information to conduct specific operations on this plan. During this period, I received an appointment from my superiors to focus on implementing this plan. I have thought of many plans. In order not to alarm the situation, I have formulated this small plan with the military logistics as the storefront, and focused on investigating the black market, especially those that are somewhat confusing on the surface."
"So, you chose this goal?" Yamashita came to the conclusion.
Philona nodded and said yes.
The mountain was silent, but out of intuition, she always felt that it was a bit plausible, but there was something wrong with her, and she couldn't say it for a while. However, there was a conclusion that the Ministry of Law actually came to the logistics department to act together. This was a new change, and this change was very likely a good thing for the logistics department. In any case, the operation of the Ministry of Law showed that the logistics department had no problem at least and would not become the target of the Ministry of Law's investigation. Naturally, the logistics department's shameful things were clear... naturally they were hidden.
To describe it in one word, that is, this is also a product of the "compromise" between the Ministry of Law and the Logistics Supply Center.
