【The reason why Kohler is willing to take the initiative to join the fire brigade is because he actually worked as a firefighter in New York when he was young.】

【In fact, the reason why Kohler came to San Francisco was not to dig for gold.】

【It’s about realizing your own financial freedom by helping others achieve financial freedom.】

【To put it bluntly, he opened a metal processing factory and wanted to help gold diggers process loose gold into gold bars to make a profit.】

【But Mr. Kohler apparently doesn't know much about the peaceful security situation in San Francisco.】

【Under the intensive work of various gangs, few people dared to let others know that they had gold, so Kohler's business was doing very poorly.】

【So, he was ready to run away, but a fire on Christmas Eve left him covered from the neck down. Mr. Kohler immediately became enthusiastic about entrepreneurship: I have worked as a fire fighter, and there is no fire protection in San Francisco, so why don’t I What about the fire brigade?】

【So on the night of Christmas Day, Kohler began to contact volunteers with firefighting records in San Francisco.】

【After a heavy drink, Kohler boldly announced: The San Francisco Fire Volunteer Corps has been established!】

【The fire brigade is supposedly a good thing. However, San Francisco residents have little expectations for this new team. 】

See this.

Many ancient people were puzzled.

Establishment of the Fire Brigade.

It's obviously a great thing for the residents of San Francisco.

But why do they have no expectations?

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Er also noticed this problem at this time

"Is there something special about this fire brigade?"

After muttering to himself, he continued to look at the sky.

And soon, he finally knew why this happened.

【First of all, the reason why it is called the Fire Volunteer Corps is because the San Francisco Council was not prepared to allow everyone to become firefighters wholeheartedly.】

【In those days, we talked about paid fire extinguishers. They were paid according to their work. Whoever had a house on fire would pay for it. The fire would not be extinguished until the salary was exhausted.】

【Therefore, firefighting volunteers do not have a basic salary. If there is no fire, everyone should still do what they usually do.】

【This sounds very unreliable, but what is even more unreliable is that it is actually the members of the volunteer team.】

【As mentioned before, as a land full of vitality, San Francisco back then was full of ruthless people, and bastards were no better than dogs.】

【So when Mr. Kohler raised his flag for justice, he naturally attracted a group of heroes.】

【On the list submitted by Kohler, a considerable number of members did not write their real names at all, but all wrote 17 nicknames, such as Imperial Sickle, Big Sword Tom, Iron-Blooded Jerry, etc.】

【The entire fire brigade drank steaks and red wine from large bowls, and there were 108 heroes in the thirty-six heavens and seventy-two earth evils!】

【Therefore, it is a fire brigade in name, but after seeing this group of people dispatched, Al Capone had to take a detour when he came.】

【What’s even more embarrassing is that although we are all brothers on the road, due to the complex composition of American immigrants, Kohler’s team is also extremely ununited.】

【Their more than 100 members are divided into 5 groups according to their respective ethnic groups. German, Irish, Dutch and other ethnic groups each have their own systems, focusing on the separatist style of feudal towns. 】

Tianmu briefly introduced the newly established fire volunteer team.

And when I saw these introductions.

Everyone finally understood why San Francisco residents didn't expect anything from them.

And be reasonable......You can’t expect this!

These ruthless people are out.

Those who knew the situation knew they were going to put out the fire. unknown.

I thought they were setting fire to it!

Think about it.

A group of strong men with sinister faces.

He rushed out of a place screaming.

There are all kinds of equipment in his hands.

Who wouldn't be frightened to see it?

Is this what putting out a fire should look like?

Working with such an insect......How can you do a good job in firefighting!

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Er was completely stunned.

I can only sigh from the bottom of my heart

"After all, the United States has its own national conditions here. It is probably the only one in the world to put out fires like this."

In this regard,

Changsun Wuji seemed to be more receptive.

Especially after seeing the configuration of the tax office.

He smiled and said

"It might seem dreamy to me in China"

"But when it comes to the United States, I think this is more like them."

"After all, ruffians can collect taxes for the country, and a group of gangsters act as fire extinguishers.......It doesn't seem surprising."

What Changsun Wuji said is indeed true.

Think about the composition of the first batch of tax collectors in the previous tax bureau.

Compared with this fire brigade......

It seems the ingredients aren't any better.

Li Er shook his head and laughed.

"This foreign country overseas is indeed very different from China."

Said.

He changed his voice and looked at the sky again.

"However, there is a precedent from the tax bureau before"

"I'm actually a little curious."

"A group of hooligans can handle the national tax affairs with great success"

"Even if the gangster put out the fire, he might not be able to do a good job."

Li Er gradually started to look forward to it.

But this time, the action of the fire fighters is obviously not as good as that of the tax bureau."

【The fire brigade was divided into different factions, so a terrible thing happened.】

【Since fire brigades are divided into different towns and firefighting is paid, one thing is bound to happen when encountering a fire in San Francisco: industry infighting.】

【According to the rules of the year, after putting out the fire, the owner should give the reward to the team that poured the first bucket of water.】

【So once a fire breaks out, the citizens of San Francisco will close their doors one after another.】

【Because they will soon witness the five major feudal towns mobilizing one after another, and then rushing towards the fire with the guys screaming!】

【At this time, citizens will pray that they will not meet on the road, because once they meet on the street: there is a fire scene in front of them, what should they do if someone is choking? two words....

Dry!】

【In order to win the qualification to pour the first bucket of water, the five major feudal towns basically had to beat up my teammates on the road before arriving at the fire scene!】

【Keep the fire, let's see who dares to put it out! Brothers, if you are not ruthless today, your status will be unstable tomorrow! Don't worry about putting out the fire for now, get rid of these choking people first!】

【Therefore, after witnessing many times of firefighting in Fanzhen, Emperor Zhou Kohler finally understood that it was easier to be a thief outside the city than to be a clique in the fire brigade.】

【Kohler, who couldn't control others, decided to start with fire-fighting facilities. He raised funds to build a large reservoir and required each household to reserve 6 buckets for fire-fighting, etc.】

【It should be said that Kohler's measures are scientific and beneficial, but among the gold diggers who are only interested in making money, who is willing to cooperate with firefighting work?】

【Finally, exhausted physically and mentally, Kohler announced his resignation in 1851 and ran away from San Francisco. 】

Li Er rarely put down his colored glasses.

I have very high expectations for this kind of guy who doesn't come from a good background.

But after seeing the heroic appearance displayed by these Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks.

It was really unbearable!

What do you mean, don't worry about putting out the fire yet?

What does it mean to keep the fire before putting it out?

It wasn't just Li Er who was dumbfounded.

Countless people were burned inside and out by the thunder.

"Oh my god, is this a fire brigade? This is clearly worse than a robber!"

"Compared with him, the gangsters in the tax office are all very disciplined."

"To be honest, although the low quality of this group of people is one of the factors, the fire-fighting rules in San Francisco are also a big reason."

"That's right, only the person who pours the first bucket of water can get the bounty. People there are all there for the money. How can they not get into a fight because of this?"

"Since they all belong to the same fire brigade, why not give all the remuneration to the fire brigade? Wouldn’t this resolve the conflict?"

"Great, since everyone has money to take, why should I put out fires? Can't you just sit and wait for others to go?"

"Ah this......"

Although I don’t know what a free market is.

What is ZBism?

But for the first time, the ancients had a clear understanding of the consequences of completely free market behavior based on economic orientation.

The Ming Dynasty plane.

Lao Zhu was also deeply inspired. at this time.

He recalled the scenes of Chinese soldiers and civilians fighting fires that he had seen in the sky.

Compare the two.

Even more profound

"Saving people from fire and water is a major matter for people's livelihood. How can it be driven by profit?"

"This San Francisco resident regards firefighting as a way to make money, how could he not make a mistake?"

If you think so,

Lao Zhu feels that the emergence of the chaos just mentioned above the sky is absolutely natural. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Kohler's departure is naturally inevitable. matter

"After this experience, they should be able to see this clearly and change, right?"

Aside."

Zhu Biao thought.

But obviously, he overestimated the consciousness of these insects.

After Kohler left, the situation in San Francisco not only did not get better, but went from one extreme to another. Sky screen:

【After Kohler left, San Francisco's firefighting industry has entered an era of chaos.】

【On May 4, 1850, the Christmas Eve fire mentioned earlier broke out again. The fire burned all the way up the mountain, causing more than 4 million losses.】

【A month later, the fire broke out again in the same street, this time burning all the way to the seaside. Another fire broke out in September, and more than 120 buildings were burned down.】

【On May 4, 1851, San Francisco residents commemorated the anniversary of last year's fire】

【So another fire broke out that day, and 10 streets were burned to the ground in less than 10 hours.】

【In a year's time, the entire San Francisco was almost formatted by fire over and over again.】

【Faced with the tragic fire, the San Francisco Council was finally angry!】

【They scolded the fire fighters for being careless. San Francisco has spent so much money over the years, not for you to play street battles every day!】

【In addition to reprimanding firefighting volunteers, the parliament also believed that the strength of firefighting volunteers really needed to be strengthened. Therefore, the parliament promulgated an exemption bill, and participating in firefighting volunteers was equivalent to military service.】

【The size of the fire brigade instantly expanded to more than 1,000 people. At the same time, the council decided to add a lot of equipment to the fire brigade. The original precious carriages were also equipped for the fire brigade.】

【But what the parliament did not expect was that the first role of the horse-drawn carriage in the fire brigade was not to put out fires, but to become a heavy weapon in street fights.】

【Now when the major vassals were fighting, they no longer had to fight with fists, but started driving carriages, throwing bricks, and playing chariots instead.】

【By 1866, the San Francisco Council finally had enough and decided to completely abolish this group of firefighter volunteers who were constantly competing with props.】

【We want to set up a professional fire brigade and recruit some anthropomorphic members! ]

Generously adding equipment to the fire brigade.

Unexpectedly, it was not used to put out fires.

Instead, it comes in handy in street fights! [ ]

The level of magic in the fire brigade.

Once again refreshed the ancient people's understanding.

Da Qin plane.

Ying Zheng's face turned dark when he saw it.

"A rabble, a rabble!"

"If this were under my rule, these corpse-like people would have died ten thousand times!"

Ying Zheng looked angry and happy at the same time.

Fortunately, this strange fire brigade appeared abroad, not in China in later generations.

When he saw the last sentence of the scene in the sky, his face became a little better.

"Establishing a professional fire brigade?"

"This is long overdue." He thought the situation would improve if a professional fire brigade was established. But.......Is this really the case?

【In March 1866, San Francisco officially established a financially funded fire department.】

【Composed of a chief, three deputy chiefs and more than 100 firefighters】

【In addition to clarifying the establishment, the government has also spent huge sums of money to purchase advanced steam fire trucks, ladder water tanks and other equipment, preparing to build this fire station into a benchmark in the west.】

【It should be said that the determination of the San Francisco government moved many people. Under the announcement of new Chief Franklin Whitney, the San Francisco Fire Volunteer Corps was officially disbanded and the San Francisco Fire Department was re-established.】

【But the embarrassing thing is that although the San Francisco government tried its best to avoid using the original fire volunteers】

【But the city is only so big and there are only so many people with firefighting experience. 】

060【So the so-called dissolution and reorganization basically become collective recruitment】

【The people are still the same people, but the difference is......From now on we can eat royal food! 】

God is eating royal food!

Although reorganized.

But it’s still the same group of people!

After all this messing around.

Not only was he not punished in any way.

On the contrary, the treatment is even better!

Although the lower limit of cognition has been refreshed again and again by various operations of the United States.

But this time.

People feel that they still underestimate the magic of America. certainly.

Although the people are still the same group of people.

But after using royal grains to support him.

Fire brigade bugs.

Finally, some changes were made - they finally stopped fighting!

【With the system in place, the heroes of the fire brigade finally stopped fighting】

【But it has not improved the business level, especially in the use of new equipment.】

【In December 1866, a fire broke out in a warehouse in San Francisco. The fire brigade was immediately dispatched, with the newly arrived steam fire engine happily prepared to show off its skills.】

【Perhaps due to excessive excitement, the crew members exerted a little too much force, and the steam fire truck drove directly into the fire scene!】

【The high temperature of the open flame and the steam made the situation at the scene even more severe. In a few minutes, the fire truck blew up the entire warehouse.】

【As for the new ladder purchased from New York at a huge expense, no one in the fire brigade dared to use it because it was not easy to operate.】

【Finally, once everyone was about to use this magic weapon, but the person operating the ladder directly put the ladder on the wires and almost electrocuted himself! 】

Although there is no fighting anymore.

But it's obvious.

The professional level of this group of heroes has not improved yet.

Go put out the fire.

Directly intensify the fire.

Turn the fire into an explosion!

Set up a ladder.

Can be hung on wires.

I almost electrocuted myself!

This series of magical operations.

Everyone was immediately speechless.

However.

For this newly reorganized fire brigade.

This is not just an appetizer.

What they did next.

This shows what Vulcan’s powerful dipping sauce is, and the San Francisco citizens’ life-threatening little devil!

And this disaster left a deep impression on all San Franciscans.

It's also at the beginning of the video.

The earthquake that made Italian singer Caruso dare not return to San Francisco again in his life.

What did they do? simply put......Well, they lit all of San Francisco on fire!

【On April 18, 1906, as the earth roared, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6-8.3 broke out on the coast of San Francisco. The earthquake was extremely strong throughout the city and surrounding areas.】

【The earthquake came, but luckily the 20-second foreshock arrived before the mainshock, so in fact the earthquake itself did not cause too many casualties.】

【But when the earthquake ended, San Francisco people's nightmare had just begun, because the San Francisco Fire Department arrived......】
