Fire into the air!

(Baonghean) - Have you ever heard of the phrase "shooting into the air," Uncle Dung?

- I've heard that many times!

- What does "shooting into the air" mean, sir?

- Firing into the air means shooting towards the sky!

- So, were there any injuries or fatalities?

No, the sky is too high, how could the bullets reach there!

- Why shoot then, it's a waste of bullets?

- Firing into the air is a warning shot; the person being shot at isn't actually the sky!

That's troublesome, isn't it?

- When it comes to gunfights, you can't make things simple, can you?

- So the noble purpose of a warning shot fired into the air is just to issue a warning, sir?

- In some places, it's used rather extravagantly, so there's even a review process... to learn from the experience!

- Is firing a warning shot simply a matter of warning?

- In principle, only the first few warning shots should be fired into the air. If the person being shot at still does not stop their dangerous behavior, then the right to fire live ammunition is granted.

- So, does that mean firing into the air is just a mock battle?

- Hehe, not a mock shooting, but... a simulated shooting! Let me tell you something quietly, there are places where guns are firing all year round, yet life remains vibrant. The wife of a high-ranking official still gracefully strolls down the street, one hand nervously holding her necklace, handbag, or phone, while the other casually carries her certificate for the happiest country in Asia!

- Did you hear the Prime Minister just now directly address the issue of "talented people" versus "nepotism"?

Let me tell you this story: Yesterday, I saw on TV the Prime Minister's statement: "Using personnel means finding talented people, not relatives." That's a rather interesting way of using words; I like that sentence. However, I keep wondering what happens if, in the process of finding talented people, you "stumble upon" a relative? I think it's a plus! Combining both is even better. The only question is whether a technology will emerge that turns relatives into talented people and talented people into... relatives? While I was muttering these thoughts, she suddenly attacked me: "Talent leads to a home, and a home proves talent. Get up and sweep the house right now! If you can't even hold a broom, I'll give you... talent!" What a relief!

- So, you'll obediently go sweep the house?

- Yeah, it's not that I'm afraid of my wife, but I respect her opinions!

- Amazing!

- Me?

No, it's my wife! She can apply pressure to the doctor as easily as a breeze!

- Hehe, my wife uses pressure points on the whole neighborhood, not just me.

- Another environmental bombshell on the scale of Formosa has just surfaced in the Central Highlands, hasn't it, sir?

- Yes, that's what the press says, but in the report submitted to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment stated that during the process of importing alkali into the liquid alkali storage area (A03) of the Nhan Co Aluminum Plant in Dak Nong to serve the plant's trial run, at 8:14 AM on July 23, 2016, a pipe neck ruptured in the alkali pump, causing liquid alkali (NaOH 44.5-49%) to leak out. The long-standing anxieties of the people "have been brought to life" in the most disastrous way possible.

- Was the breakage done according to procedure, sir?

- It's still breaking, following the same procedure as the Song Da pipeline. To put it playfully, it's like "Hastily patching things up while also happily... breaking!"

- It seems the appointment of the young, talented son of that former minister has come under scrutiny, hasn't it, sir?

- I guessed the same thing, I just didn't know if the people with the guns would be sniping or firing in bursts.

- Is it possible to "shoot through an apple," doctor?

Hey, don't be rash, or the air will get hot!

But do you believe this case will be resolved properly?

- It seems that the ministries and departments are currently playing a game of "volleyball of responsibility" with each other, and it's unclear which chapter will end.

- But with such a complicated operating mechanism, what if we can't find the right person, sir?

- Too simple, just keep pointing your guns at the sky and firing into the air!
