Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 1694 1695 The mice were the first to know

 For soldiers of the Tang Army, letters from home were very common things. If they don't have any assignments, they have the opportunity to write home twice a week. You can use your free time to write, and then wait for the postmen to arrive.

But for the coalition soldiers who do not have sufficient transportation capacity, this opportunity to write home is very precious. They can usually only write a letter home once a month, and such letters are often "hacked" leave".

 Yes, lost it! When the military's transportation capacity is tight, it is easy to lose less important letters. Everyone does this, so not many people care about such things.

Aunt Shilin has been living in a state of confusion these past two days. She still has no way of knowing whether her child is still alive, and the occupation of Rewind Port by the Tang Army has left her somewhat idle.

In order to ensure the normal life of local civilians, the occupying forces of Tang State worked hard to restore the power supply and water supply to Refeng Port. Then they distributed free food for a month, so that local people did not die in large numbers due to lack of supplies.

 In this case, the city's public security situation is quite good, but everyone knows that life cannot continue like this indefinitely. It was impossible for the Tang people to provide free food all the time. After all, they still had to rely on their own labor in exchange for living supplies.

The neighbor Charlie used to work in the city hall. After Tang Ren came, he chose to "cooperate" and now works for Tang Ren and received additional subsidies.

From Shireen's point of view, the Tang people were indeed very generous. The salary they gave Charlie was several times more than what Charlie could get in the past.

Moreover, the Tang people were able to provide more supplies, making their currency more convincing: banknotes that can buy things are good banknotes.

However, as a wife, Fran is still very worried about Charlie's safety. Whether the Tang people can stay here is still unknown. Now they choose to work for the Tang people. When the Yangmu Empire fights back, they will be liquidated.

 So Fran's state is no different from Shireen's. They both have their own worries, so they both seem a little distracted easily.

After helping Fran wash the stove, Shireen wiped her hands on her apron, walked to Shireen who was in a daze, and said softly: "It's been cleaned up, don't worry, at least for now, it seems that Charlie is not well. ."

"I know, but I'm just worried...what if, I mean what if, those humans are beaten away, wouldn't Charlie..." Fran raised her head and said, her eyes were dark, and it looked like she hadn't had a good rest recently. .

“If it doesn’t work out, just go to Tang State...” Shilin comforted: “I see there are so many ships at the port, and it won’t be a problem to carry you two more by then.”

Fran grabbed Shirin's hand and said reluctantly: "There are three, you must go with us... You are our family, we will not leave you behind."

As he was talking, the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole came from outside the door. The male owner, Charlie, came back from get off work. He was carrying a briefcase and wearing a decent coat. He looked in good spirits.

 His appearance is completely different from that of a dozen days ago, and he seems to be much more confident. Although the officials sent by the Tang State to manage Rewind Port were all young, their level was not comparable to that of a group of elven nobles.

The work styles and administrative efficiency of both parties are almost completely different from each other. Working for these administrators, Charlie realized that he had been wasting his life in the past few years. A good system can indeed make people feel that they have gained a new life. Charlie felt that he had gained a new life, and his whole person was glowing.

After putting down his briefcase and hanging up his coat, Charlie told his neighbor Aunt Shireen, who had lost a lot of weight these days, good news: "I heard good news, it seems... Tang, Empire..."

He was very confused about what to call the Tang Dynasty. At work, they all just called it "Empire", but when talking about it at home, Charlie felt a little awkward.

 Soon he skipped this embarrassing detail and explained to Shireen about the letters home from the prisoners of war. In his opinion, this is a clever move. If it works well, it can indeed greatly improve the security level of the occupied area and the cooperation of local civilians.

"In other words, if... Marvin and Frank are still alive, it is likely that a letter will be delivered to you in a few days." After Charlie finished speaking, Fran was the first to become excited.

She grabbed Aunt Shireen's hand and congratulated happily: "Great, Aunt Shireen, we will have news about Frank and Marvin soon."

Shireen also reacted. After being stunned for a few seconds, a smile finally appeared on her face: "This is really, really good news. Great, I, I..."

Halfway through her words, she became worried again: If she didn't receive the letter, did it mean that something might have happened to her child?

Thinking of this, she became nervous again, looking forward to the early arrival of her child's letter home, but also afraid that she would never be able to wait for the long-awaited letter.

Fran comforted her, and Charlie returned to the bedroom and began to sort out the documents that had not been sorted out during the day. What he could take home was not a secret. In fact, there were no real confidential documents that he could get his hands on.

 In short, they were all trivial tasks, but from these tasks, he seemed to see a bright future that he had never seen before.

He didn’t know whether his vision was accurate, but he had a feeling, a wonderful feeling that the Yangmu Empire would never return to Rewind Port.

 From the content of his own work, as well as details such as policy changes in Refeng Port, a small official like him can most clearly feel the difference between the old era and the new system. This difference represents advancement and backwardness, and allows people to tell at a glance who will eventually defeat whom.

 This is like being a mouse on a ship. The mouse will be the first to know whether the ship will sink. Charlie is a little mouse, and to an empire, he is not even a mouse...

 So he no longer had the worry that Fran had had a few days ago, and he also tried to persuade Fran to relax...but women are still more emotional and sentimental after all.

Even though he was a little tired, he still cheered up and read the documents, and the whispers of Aunt Shireen and Fran came from outside the door. The two women always had endless things to talk about, and he also felt that such a home would be more cozy.

 I don’t know when, he fell asleep, and someone covered him with a coat... Everything seemed so normal.
