Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2511 - 2349: Showing Results

Finally.

The press conference wrapped up successfully.

Naturally.

That success existed only in Locke’s view. Reporters felt deeply let down by the missing bombshell revelations and his casual, off-the-cuff responses.

No matter!

If it lacks fireworks, they’ll fabricate some.

...

Once the gathering broke up.

Locke headed back to his office and dove into work. Piles of duties awaited; to dodge the label of a ‘quitter example’ after leaving the group, his schedule stayed packed.

Luckily.

He didn’t battle solo.

Plus.

Welfare perks never thrilled him much. He’d always viewed the old Greek system as flawed, propped up purely by massive government borrowing.

Borrow funds.

Splash cash.

Borrow more.

Spend more.

...

A endless cycle.

This approach thrilled the crowds but piled endless debt on Greek leaders. As the boss now, Locke refused to tolerate it.

Should it drag on.

Feasting.

Reveling.

Grabbing loans.

Besides breeding idle folks happy with handouts, it brought zero true gains. Good thing he skipped welfare pledges before stepping up.

Thus.

He gained room to act decisively.

Step one.

Slash spending.

Step two.

Audit taxes.

Step three.

Mint currency.

Hmm!

Flawless.

These three moves might spark street uproars. But why fret? No high-welfare vows given, just grip the core matters firmly.

Want him gone?

Ha!

Keep dreaming.

Though resignation rumors swirl for presidents and cabinet collapses happen, it’s usually from sticky messes they sidestep. Following standard procedure,

after grabbing power,

the public can’t oust him mid-term. That’d turn it into farce. Put simply, with thick enough hide,

he’ll cling on.

And complete the full term.

Hence.

Locke felt zero anxiety, at an age where twists are routine; reaching the top took grit. Why quit now? He’d stick it out till the finish.

...

So.

From the following day, Locke showed up daily on Greek television, hammering home: Face the storm united. No backing down.

In essence.

Make sure folks spot him constantly. Jolt the people that times have changed, unlike old days when EU aid flowed at every whine.

Furthermore.

All of it.

Sprung from their own actions.

Today.

He merely swept up the wreckage. Urging all to buckle up and live thriftily... stunning masses everywhere.

Seems like.

Yes, their own fault.

Had the prior president lingered, blame could stick to him amid gripes. Yet Locke just started.

Regardless.

Even with welfare trims, fingers couldn’t point his way.

All at once.

A sour taste hit them, yet Greece’s mess offered no fix. Past rants had burned every bridge with neighbors.

Also.

EU ties lay in ruins.

Return?

What about dignity?

Care for any?

As Locke’s welfare-slash news aired, most skipped the old frenzy of street demands.

They itched to rally.

But lacked grounds.

Infuriating!

...

Greece’s group exit fallout didn’t fade with the Drachma’s debut. Simple cause: past lavish borrowing.

Squandering.

Banquets.

Spending.

Boosted the economy then.

Yet now.

Austerity shrank national buying power, bound to drag on EU-wide economics.

No uptick possible.

Short-term,

a mild dip counts as victory. Greece’s departure loomed as a dark cloud over EU growth.

...

June.

Huaxia.

Southern rainy season kicked in, and the two-month flood defense effort started paying off.

One village.

Villagers clustered on the bridge.

"This build fixed our huge headache!"

"Outstanding work."

"Heavy downpours won’t flood us out anymore."

"..."

River waters roared below, drawing universal acclaim. Before, their low spot flooded every few years.

Now.

River systems rebuilt guided this disaster rain smoothly downstream.

Elation!

Sure.

Not solely from digging channels. Upstream, downstream, nearby hamlets, and woven waterways all teamed up for this success.

They cherished the initiative. This plum rain season ditched flood fears, rain be damned.

...

Elsewhere.

A valley amid hills.

"Wow!"

"..."

Water cascaded like falls. Three outlets funneled surplus from local networks into the gorge.

Depth below.

Kept rise minimal.

Sluice area.

Some dozen folks gathered.

"Greetings, host."

"Welcome to Liupingkou reservoir. This valley once held over a hundred homes, now relocated; it acts as our storage hub."

"Look behind: nonstop rains got rerouted by phase one waterway works, stopping floods."

"Directed here."

"..."

"The vast basin holds immense volume. Locals at water bureau figure, from past rains, it stays half-empty."

"Back then,

such storms swelled big rivers, threatening breaks. This year, network tweaks changed it."

"Mere slight uptick, pressure way down."

"Soon.

Full network done means floods won’t threaten lives, slashing disaster damages."

"..."

The reporter beamed to the lens, then quizzed locals from site chief to water boss.

Live feed.

These views raced across Huaxia.

Swiftly.

Earning waves of applause.

"Two months in, huge impact—impressive. Globally... only Myanmar outdid us here."

This effort,

all knew its inspiration.

"We’ll top it soon," one voiced faintly, info flows showing their tiered beds.

Hard to copy yet.

"True."

"Gratitude to the neighbor sharing this blueprint."

"Exactly!"

"Flood worries gone forever."

"..."

Though early days, targeting vital spots yielded big wins in two months.

Of course.

Ten days left for total fix.

But.

Survive this year, next June sees 90%+ water risks crushed by this system.
