Simulation Game: Crisis Management

In an instant.

At the street corners, on family radios, and through store loudspeakers, the entire city of Ludwig Port echoed with the voice of Gu Ji.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Luca and his companions couldn't help but feel tense.

If the public is indifferent, not only will Gu Ji become a laughingstock, but the situation might further deteriorate.

But Gu Ji himself just took a breath and continued speaking:

"Some may ask why civilians should help? Why put ourselves in danger? They might also ask, why do humans hunt? Why did Robert Koch isolate the tuberculosis bacteria? Why did Prime Minister Bismarck unify the Hans Empire?"

"Because we choose to survive! We choose to live better lives! We choose to stay here at this moment, in Ludwig Port, at the BASF Factory Production Base, to protect our homes, not because of these words, but because our home itself is worth all our efforts!"

"All great and glorious actions come with great difficulties. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We must become pioneers, we must become contributors, and we must create our own glorious highlights!"

Wow!

As Gu Ji's voice intensified with each sentence, until the last one, his powerful voice pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

Even Mr. Otto couldn't help but stand up from his seat, and the secretary beside him instinctively clenched his fist.

From expressing the government's efforts, to portraying the current crisis, and finally using historical heroes as examples.

Whether in terms of coherence or persuasion, it was impeccable.

Luca felt a surge of motivation to fight for Gu Ji, thinking this is what a true commander should be!

Gu Ji put down the microphone and, feigning calm, walked out from behind the desk.

Actually, as a graduate from the police academy, although his literary skills weren't bad, they weren't at the point of spontaneous eloquence. He was able to quickly come up with this speech because it wasn't his own; it was from Kennedy's 1962 moon landing speech.

He had memorized this speech when learning English with his ex-girlfriend.

Indeed, it was blood-boiling.

So Gu Ji just borrowed it "as is" for his purpose.

Stepping out of the tent.

Almost every chemical soldier and police officer cast respectful and excited gazes toward Gu Ji, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Only Eugen looked at Gu Ji with a complicated expression.

Seeing this, the labor inspector leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Turning around, Gu Ji gazed at the silent town. All the residents near the BASF Factory had already evacuated. He didn't know how many people his speech would attract.

Five minutes passed.

The street was empty.

After ten minutes, a military vehicle finally appeared on the street. As the door opened, out stepped Ler, bandaged.

Gu Ji was a bit surprised.

"Buddy, why are you here? Is your injury healed?"

"Hey, since you mentioned my name in the broadcast, as a figurehead, if I'm not present, wouldn't it seem like you're lying? Cough, cough..."

It was clear that after medical treatment, Ler was in good condition.

This mission succeeded thanks to Ler's brave attempt to shut off the valve.

Seeing he was okay, Gu Ji felt genuinely happy and reached out to hug him.

"Everyone heard it, welcome back!"

"Heh heh heh, maybe, I'm not the only one..."

As Ler finished speaking, the sky and ground simultaneously emitted a low "buzzing" sound.

The next moment, accompanied by two medium transport aircraft flying toward the airport, from the previously silent street corner, suddenly emerged a crowd of people.

Disheveled and dirty clothes, unfamiliar yet familiar faces, they ran over rubble and wastewater, full of excitement. Despite lacking helmets and uniforms, they possessed a soldierly spirit of risking life without fear.

"Where's help needed?"

"Damn it, I don't want to leave here either. After all, my home is right here. Tell me, what do we do!"

"I can't believe I actually came back. Oh well, at least I can boast to my son in the future that his father once helped save this city!"

...

The crowd gathered in front of the headquarters.

No one anticipated such a large turnout of civilian volunteers, making it hard to maintain order.

Gu Ji happened to hold Ler and Luca close.

"Where's Eugen? Never mind. Officer Luca, Mr. Ler, you two are responsible for managing these volunteers and arranging for them to start laying wet canvas!"

"Rest assured, we'll handle it!"

Luca patted his shoulder, while Ler pounded his chest before involuntarily coughing twice.

Then, under the two's command, hundreds of volunteers began grabbing canvas to tie onto the fences of the BASF Production Base.

Meanwhile, Gu Ji and Franz led a team into the chlorine production facility.

Although the initial chlorine leak had been resolved, there was still a strong pungent smell in the underground storage room.

Following the production manual, Gu Ji decided to handle the tanks separately.

First, activate the factory's production electricity, using the ventilation pipes to release the indoor gas and storage tank gas into the scrubbing tower. If the scrubbing tower fails, the burning tower is immediately activated, using non-metallic substances to assist combustion treatment.

"Let's hope everything's normal..."

As the power system restored, Gu Ji pushed the equipment lever, the ventilation humming sound started, and the equipment began operating.
