Chapter 6: Pre-war Mobilization

  Today, I spent some time adding titles to each chapter. Unfortunately, I'm really not good at summarizing and extracting the essence of things, and no matter how hard I think, I just can't come up with those poetic and picturesque chapter headings like other books have. Later on, I thought about it and decided that being realistic is better anyway, as long as the title matches the content, that's fine.

  Under Tian Miao's intentional or unintentional management, her identity and status have become clear to everyone, and she has even taken the lead in handling these matters without needing "Old Uncle" to intervene. Director Liu was also relieved when he heard about it and casually mentioned a few words during the meeting. Now, no one dares to arbitrarily assign tasks to the two girls, and they don't need to work overtime. They just need to follow the regular working hours of 8 am to 6 pm every day. If there are no unexpected events, they can even enjoy double rest days on Saturdays and Sundays.

  Just after International Women's Day, the city of Daxian was still cold. At around 6:30 pm that day, Tian Miao Miao, who had already finished work, was buying vegetables at the market when her phone suddenly rang loudly and vibrated. Irritated, she took out her phone and saw it was a short number, which belonged to Director Su:

  "What's wrong, Uncle? Is there something important that you're calling me about at this hour?"

  A stern voice came from the other end of the phone:

  "Hey girl, stop messing around, something big has happened. Get back to the dorm immediately, everyone must be back by 7 pm sharp, or else you'll face severe punishment. Tell Zhang Tong, everyone needs to come back today!"

  Uncle said it was serious, Tian Miao quickly called home to explain the situation and immediately dialed Zhang Tong's phone, telling her to hurry back and head to the dormitory. Tian Miao originally had an electric bike, one day she went out on a business trip, rode the bike out of the gate and only then remembered that she had forgotten to pick up a document, so she left the bike at the police station door...

  As soon as Tian Miao thought of this, she was furious. In broad daylight, at the door of her own police station, a car could be stolen, and if this evil spirit is not thoroughly eliminated, it's likely that tomorrow someone will come to collect protection fees!

  At 7:00 pm sharp, all the police officers and auxiliary police officers were present. Tian Miao couldn't help but take this emergency event seriously, as he had never seen everyone so punctual before - usually someone was absent today or tomorrow. Just as the second hand was ticking away, Zhang Tong rushed in from outside with his backpack on, and upon seeing that everyone was there, quickly ran to join the auxiliary police team and stood beside Tian Miao.

  Auxiliary police and real police, in peacetime may look like there is not much difference, in the eyes of ordinary people are almost the same, wearing that police uniform can still intimidate people. But in this situation, everyone lined up and stood here, and the difference between the two sides became apparent. In the neat queue, the police uniforms of the auxiliary police and the real police were compared, and the quality was like Adidas and Adi-King...

  As the crowd whispered to each other and inquired about the news, the director and another female police officer finally arrived late. The female police officer looked over 30 years old, saw that everyone was present, and loudly shouted:

  "Alright, quiet! Listen up, comrades. Today we've called everyone back under special circumstances. Attention! ... " After finishing speaking, he walked over to the auxiliary police team and looked at them with a frown, saying: "You're all standing properly now! Look at yourselves, perk up your spirits, don't look like you've all lost a battle! Attention!"

  This policewoman is named Huang Xue, and she's the instructor of the station. Her position is second only to the captain. Although she's aged a bit, her face is still pretty, with a melon-seed-shaped face, tall figure, and curves in all the right places. With light makeup on her face and wearing this police uniform, she exudes a sense of elegance and charm, looking lovely and refined. Isn't there a saying that goes "uniform temptation"?

  Don't look at her appearance, she has a bad temper and loves to scold people. She is the most feared among the auxiliary police who are neither police nor civilians.

  Today, the police and auxiliary police gathered together, with more than 30 people. After hearing the instructor's command, they all stood up straight, staring at the instructor without blinking. Huang Xue nodded in satisfaction, gesturing to Liu, who was standing beside him. Liu also nodded in satisfaction, thinking that his own team was strong and impressive.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Miao's heart was beating with excitement. Having been on duty for some time and having a certain understanding of the police station, he had experienced similar situations before, but not as crowded as today. As for what to do next, did it need to be said? It was probably going to be another case of dragging everyone out to take the blame.

  Since going to work, I've encountered demolition, petitioning, city management beating people or being beaten by city management. Or else it's about a dead body being dug up somewhere, or a dead body being fished out of some river. Or maybe the leader of the department wants to discipline someone and stir up trouble. The security guards are like a rapid response team for dealing with such sudden incidents. Tian Miao still vividly remembers that last week, they fished a corpse out of the river. After hearing the report, the director arranged for Tian Miao and Zhang Tong to lead a group of people to guard the scene for an entire morning until the municipal bureau's criminal police team arrived.

  I watched the dead bodies for a whole morning, forcing myself to hold on until noon when I got off work. After returning home, Tian Miao started vomiting, throwing up everything she ate, and this continued for several days. Even now at night, she's still having nightmares.

  It seems that this spiritual outlook is still acceptable, so the instructor first praised everyone and then directly entered the pre-war mobilization:

  "Comrades, over this period of time, everyone has performed well. Very good, let's keep up the momentum! We must always maintain 120% vigilance at all times! We must strictly guard against and prevent lawbreakers from disrupting our stability and unity, a small handful of bad elements cannot destroy our good public security environment. As we are the city's comprehensive management advanced unit for eight consecutive years, we absolutely cannot let this honor be lost in our hands! ...Today, we will work together with the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team to carry out an important task, everyone, do you have confidence?"

  "Present!" Tian Miao Miao shouted weakly along with a group of auxiliary police officers, while the regular police officers on the other side were full of energy.

  What a joke, with the fighting power of these auxiliary police officers, if they were to go drinking, causing trouble, or flirting with good girls, they would be the first to sign up. Normally, when encountering joint law enforcement, they follow the regular police to scan song and dance halls, check foot bath cities, and catch prostitutes, they rush to go, but today's instructor's opening remarks, without saying, must be tied to the criminal police, following the criminal police on a mission, which one is not a major danger task, no benefits to mention, may even have life risks, who would want to go?

  "Louder! You haven't eaten yet, have you? Do you have any confidence?" Instructor Huang was extremely dissatisfied with the auxiliary police team's mental state.

  "Got it!" This time I finally have some momentum.

  "Alright, take a short break. Next, I'd like to invite Captain Zhou's team to assign tasks for everyone! Everyone welcome!" Just as the instructor finished speaking, three more people walked out of the office building, all in plainclothes. The leader was extremely robust, with muscles bulging on his arms, and Tian Miao Miao couldn't help but laugh - wasn't this the head of that group of plainclothes police officers who had saved her last time?
