Doomsday rat

As if Lu Yejiangnan had been prepared, he reached out and took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Ma Yibo.In fact, he did prepare for several days, and Zhou Yuan took the initiative to remind him.

As for how Zhou Yuan knew there was going to be such a meeting, she also guessed the topic of the meeting.The answer is obvious, the famous digger is wielding a small shovel again.

As a former victim, Lu Yejiangnan already smelled that familiar scent.It's just that the goal this time has changed from the Flying Tigers, Pingnan Army, and Northwest League back then to the current East Asian League.

"Chairman Chu..." Randy took the document and glanced at it twice, then he knew the general content, and handed it to Chu Qiu casually.

When the negotiations between Zhou Yuan and the Redeemer had achieved preliminary results, the top management of the alliance held a meeting to discuss the conditions proposed by the Redeemer. This is the meeting record at that time.I just don't know why, but the council has not yet completed the relevant legal provisions.Without forming a formal law, many tasks of various government departments cannot be finalized.

But questioning Chu Qiu face to face would not do any good to the alliance government.This kind of mistake can be said to be big or small, in addition to forcing Chu Qiu to deal with several council staff on the grounds of work mistakes, it also increases the possibility of hatred and revenge.

The best way is to deal with it coldly, not to pursue responsibility first, which is tantamount to selling face to the reformers. If similar problems are encountered in the future, there will be more room for maneuver.To be honest, no department can guarantee that there will be no problems in the work. If they are stern and selfless every time, then everyone will stop working.

"The adoption of a supplementary regulation is quick, but the matter of strikes is still a big problem. If the alliance government agrees to their request so easily, what will the refugees in other safe zones think? If they also use this method to raise various Shouldn’t we also meet such requirements?”

Chu Qiu took the document and looked at it, with no expression on his face.She is well aware of who is instigating or even leading the immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces to make troubles. Now it is no longer a matter of following the laws and regulations, but someone wants to use the emotions of the refugees to add chaos to the government.

This opening cannot be opened easily, especially not for Hong Tao.She knew a little about that person's behavior style, and often a series of troubles followed one incident, and whoever focused all his attention on him would suffer a big loss.

"If it is really justified, why can't the needs of refugees be met? The refugee policy has been implemented for more than eight years. At the beginning, it was because of insufficient supplies that the rationing system could not be fully implemented. The limited resources should be used in key positions first. .

But so many years have passed, and the output of refugees has increased year by year.Now they can not only support themselves, but also provide the alliance with a large amount of food, industrial products and labor.

It is no exaggeration to say that the official residents of the alliance are drinking the blood of refugees, and they drink more and more every year.This is completely contrary to the original intention of the year. In the long run, even if there are no immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces to strike, other people will take the lead in opposing it.

Why can't the Redeemer completely wipe out the rebels?It is that the management method they have adopted is too exploitative at the bottom, causing a large loss of manpower.If the East Asian Union is no longer the best choice for refugees, won't they choose life with their feet?

Or is it that the alliance has issued a series of regulations to declare that all refugees leaving the alliance-controlled area are illegal?How should we treat them then?Is there any room for descending below the refugees?Or throw them all into mines and oil fields for labor reform?

Then we might as well adopt slavery directly to save trouble. Except for the management and official residents, the rest are all slaves. They will do whatever they want, and they will be sentenced to death if they don’t! "

As soon as Chu Qiu's voice fell, Zhou Yuan stood up on the opposite side, her voice was impassioned, her expression was firm and resolute, and she sang the opposite tune clearly.The goal is directly aimed at the idea of ​​concentrating power and resources to do big things that the reformists have always advocated, and indirectly accusing Chu Qiu of wanting to be a slave owner.

"Minister Zhou, anyone can make high-profile voices. As the management of the alliance, what we need to consider is not to allow everyone to distribute resources equally, but to consider the future of the alliance. Without the alliance, there would be no you here, and there would be no official residents and refugees. .Without a strong alliance, there will be no fairness as you said.

Why did the refugees choose us?Certainly not because we treat them like parents, but because of the strength of the alliance.Only a strong alliance can protect them from zombie attacks and from being killed by the same kind.

The set of things you advocate is not suitable for the current environment. Maybe you can try it conditionally after the alliance develops for decades and becomes the most powerful country in the world.Do things in a down-to-earth manner, not too high-spirited, that will only harm everyone! "

Being questioned in early autumn means that the reformists are being questioned. How could Gao Tianyi sit idly by.His eloquence and quick thinking are also well-known among the reformers. To Zhou Yuan, a strong woman, he can refute from another angle the statement that the refugees should get more power, and it sounds very reasonable.

"It's a joke, some people are reluctant to part with the power in their hands now. Could it be that after ten or decades, they can suddenly change their sexuality and become desireless? Chairman Gao, your rhetoric can only fool children, with a little brain People will not believe it.

Also please don't get me wrong, I never said it was impossible to be absolutely fair.I just think that the refugees should be given more power so that they can feel the warmth of the alliance.At the same time, the power of certain individuals must be effectively limited.

Lord Acton said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.Liberty faces four major challenges in every age: the strongman's desire for centralized power, the poor's resentment of wealth inequality, the ignorant's yearning for utopia, and the unbelievers' confusion of freedom with indulgence.

What does the current safe zone look like, do you have a clear understanding?If not, it would be best to take a day or two to investigate in depth and see if the place you manage is heaven or hell, and it is closer to that side.

If we are not vigilant at this time, the alliance will eventually be destroyed in our hands, and we don't have to wait until the next generation.Far from being a danger signal, this strike should be a wake-up call.

Refugees are not leeks, they are survivors of disasters just like us.As a group seeking a way out, the leader can hold a relatively large amount of power, and at the same time give all members the most basic power.

Whoever has guns and big fists will take everything. That is not social progress, but a retrogression of civilization.The era of keeping promises has long passed, and it has become history. It is time for the emperor to wake up from his dream! "

Faced with Gao Tianyi's rebuttal, Zhou Yuan fought more and more courageously, turned around and left the table, with one hand behind her back and the other pointing to her chest, walking with firm steps, exposing the hypocrisy of the reformists in a rhythmic manner , and at the same time raise a higher question, where should the alliance go!

Chapter 1022 As usual

Controversies like this happen several times a year between the two factions, sometimes as a duel between representatives, and sometimes as a gang fight between groups.But no matter what form, the final result is no result, everyone has their own ideas, and no one can convince anyone.It is not possible to completely turn around, because the military has never expressed its position!

"Bang bang bang... two ministers, you have violated the rules. The secretary-general just emphasized that today's meeting only discusses two things. If you have to talk about ideals and doctrines here, then I will not accompany you!"

It was the same this time. Gao Tianyi and Zhou Yuan each represented different positions and groups, and fierce arguments took place again.Just at the beginning, before entering the middle game, Jiao Qiao knocked on the table and stood up, interrupting the attempt of the two sides to face off again, and threatened to leave the table.

"Minister Jiao, don't get too excited. You two should also pay attention to methods and methods. Now is not the time for theoretical research. How to solve the strike is the top priority. Secretary-General, the Ministry of Internal Affairs suggests that the management office start negotiations with the strikers as soon as possible, and don't It intensified the conflict."

Seeing that Jiao Qiao was about to leave the meeting, Lin Na stepped forward in time.The purpose of warning the royalists and reformists not to continue to argue has been achieved, and the responsibility for disrupting the government work conference cannot fall on the husband, which will offend the neutral Randy.

"I object! The government can't be too weak. Even if some tasks are not in place, whoever wants to make trouble can make trouble. This precedent will seriously interfere with the implementation of future policies and cause very bad effects!"

Gao Tianyi and Zhou Yuan temporarily died down, but the differences between the two factions have not been healed in the slightest.Wu Jianzhang took over Gao Tianyi's position and resolutely opposed all decisions to bow to the refugees.

"Minister Wu, since you are against negotiations, is there any practical solution?"

Li Xiang, who has been silent for a long time, wants to speak. She belongs to the neutral faction of the reformist faction. In principle, she supports Chu Qiu as the top leader of the alliance, but her position is often unstable on specific matters, and she habitually treats things and ignores people.No, the mistake is made again.

"Speaking of it, it's not too difficult. Sun Feihu's troubles were worse than now. Just follow the prescription and do it again. As long as the military can destroy the illegal radio station as soon as possible and catch the black hands behind it, the strike will end without a problem. .

The people are always easy to be agitated, and they will understand the truth after suffering a few more losses.As long as the other safe zones maintain the status quo, immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces in the new safe zone alone won't cause too much trouble! "

At any rate, he is also the head of the first chapter, Wu Jianzhang was not stopped by Li Xiang, and he didn't have to think about some magical strokes by himself.There were no successful cases in the past, but now we just follow suit.

"I agree...Any behavior that provokes the bottom line of the alliance will be regarded as hostility. We cannot be weak on this issue. I believe that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has absolute certainty that it can handle the issue of strikes. What should be caught, what should be closed, in terms of rules The council fully supports it!"

At this point in the discussion, the opinions of all parties have almost been expressed.The royalists suggested negotiations, but they couldn't come up with a specific plan for the time being, let alone determine the bottom line.The reformists tend to carry out covert intervention and division and disintegration in accordance with the usual practice, in preparation for the final tough measures.

In contrast, the propositions of the reformers are more operational, and there are successful precedents to base them on.Chu Qiu saw the right moment and added another weight to the already unbalanced balance.

This is what big bosses should do. Usually, they rarely participate in ideological debates.At the critical moment, when the two sides are fully firing and the situation becomes clearer, then look at the space and strike hard, and strive for an effective blow.

"Secondary..." Hu Ran, the Minister of Health, still acted as a rubber stamp as usual, and voted with a show of hands when needed in early autumn.

"Second...Second..." Li Xiang and You Yi glanced at each other and raised their hands in support.

If you only compete in terms of ability, many of the survivors who joined later have talents who have held technical and management positions in related units, have more professional expertise, and have more experience.

The couple have always been able to sit firmly in the position of ministers. Apart from their seniority, they cannot do without Chu Qiu's strong support.Now it's time to reciprocate, this is called the exchange of interests, even if you don't think so in your heart, it is in fact.

With the clear support of these people, coupled with Lin Na and Jiao Qiaolei's unshakable abstentions, most of the neutrals gradually fell to the side of the reformers, and the royalists were once again defeated in the government work conference.

Once the government makes a resolution, the speed of the state machinery is still very fast.With one order, led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and supplemented by the security teams in each security zone, a large number of field and security personnel were continuously transported to the border area between the new sixth district and the southern fifth district.

Temporary checkpoints and roadblocks were set up at every intersection and every street, and the action to block the new safety zone began on the evening of the first day when the merchants at the intersection market announced their strike.

This signal represents the attitude of the coalition government. As usual, it resolutely does not condone any behavior that attempts to disrupt the internal stability of the coalition, and discourages refugees from expressing their demands in this way.

At the same time, it also heralds the arrival of the next step. The refugees with a little more seniority, experience, and knowledge know that after the new safety zone is completely isolated, the tough tactics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the security team should come into play.

This is how Sun Feihu's utopia was destroyed back then. The external high pressure will slowly seep into the interior. As long as a core member betrays the water, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction.No matter how strong a fortress is, it can collapse into ruins overnight.

As for whether the immigrants from Xinjiang and the provinces can resist the coalition government's combined punches, the attitude of the people is basically pessimistic.Yes, compared with the refugees in other safe zones, the new immigrants in Xinjiang Province must be more united and easier to form a group.

But this advantage is not enough to confront the state machine head-on. At this time, individual toughness is not only an advantage, but may also become a failure.The blockade of the new safety zone is to force the refugees from Xinjiang Province to act first.

Once there is bloodshed, the coalition government will immediately declare a state of emergency in accordance with the rules.Under such circumstances, many alliance regulations are temporarily invalidated. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the security team can enter the homes of refugees at will without showing any evidence, and arrest, detain, and interrogate the suspects they identify.

"Okay, they've moved, let's start too! Everyone, the success or failure of the strike, and everyone's future life, is in your thoughts, take care!" Such a big movement, you can't hide it.

The security teams in each district had just begun to assemble, and the news reached the members of the strike committee through various channels.After simple mutual verification and confirmation, Hong Tao raised his right hand and waved forward lightly.Jiang Yang, Alyin, Erken and the five Xinjiang immigration leaders got up one after another and left the yurt with their entourage.

"They..." Only Tao Wei was at a loss. He didn't know what those people were doing, and he didn't know what he should do.

"Boss Tao, now the members of the chamber of commerce have given full play to their strengths. For a long time to come, the external contacts of the new sixth district and new seventh district will depend on you."

Hong Tao grinned and patted Tao Wei on the shoulder, giving the direction of his next move.It's just that the words were a little vague, not only did Tao Wei not understand, but also made him even more confused.

"They can block it, so we can counter it. You should be experts in this regard. How about it, do you have confidence?" Seeing Tao Wei was a little puzzled, Hong Tao still didn't explain in detail, and was still playing riddles.

"...Those guys are bottomless pits that can't be filled!" But the confusion on Tao Wei's face gradually disappeared, and his facial features were all wrinkled together.He never expected that Hong Tao would put his abacus here, it was too biased.

"Then fill it slowly, the needed goods will naturally be provided by someone, I don't ask to feed them all, as long as they can bring in the things we urgently need. This is the focus of the first batch of purchases, and there is no order."

Seeing that Tao Wei had figured it out, Hong Tao took out a piece of paper folded into a small triangle from his pocket and handed it over. He waited quietly for the other party to open it for a closer look, and at the same time watched the expression change from the corner of his eye.

Chapter 1023

In this so-called strike committee, Tao Wei was one of the members, or one of the Big Three, with no less power than Jiang Yang.But this is all an illusion. The real core of the strike is only the immigrant merchants of the Rebels and Redeemers. The local merchants of the Chamber of Commerce have never been counted.

There is only one reason for this design, distrust.The local merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, including Tao Wei, have too complicated sources and have lived in the safe zone for too long, so it is impossible to carefully screen each one, let alone determine whether anyone is the eyeliner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or other government departments.

Hong Tao never cooperates with people who can't be basically trusted to do more dangerous things. The immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces coincide with him in this regard, and they naturally cannot trust the locals.

But it can't be said that Tao Wei's Chamber of Commerce will not be allowed to participate, so two sets of committees have been created, one is clear and the other is dark.On the surface, everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, united against the enemy and united.But on the core issues, they never disclosed to the local chamber of commerce, nor did they intend to use them as cannon fodder.

At the same time, Hong Tao had to send Tao Wei some tasks that did not involve core secrets, to cover up the reality of alienation.After much deliberation, just continue to be a profiteer.The biggest advantage of local businessmen is that they have a wide network of contacts. Bribing the security team is simply an essential skill in life, on the same level as eating, drinking and breathing.

It is impossible for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have so many field staff to guard every road, and the army cannot be dispatched before the state of emergency is reached. More work has to be done by the security team.

The members of the security team are much inferior to the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in various qualities. Of course, their treatment is also very different from that of the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is also an important reason for the quality gap.

In addition, the security team has to mix with refugees all year round, and even live in the same safe zone.The environment can transform people, and it must be able to transform people.In this environment, it must be a lie to say that everyone can keep their original intentions, never forget their original intentions, and maintain integrity.

In some matters, it wasn't that the security guards were planning to cheat public affairs for personal gain, but they had to turn a blind eye and accept bribes by the way.Because if you don't accept it, your boss can't accept it.Your boss can't accept it, and the boss's boss dare not accept it.

What did the ancients say?Blocking people's money is like killing your parents.May I ask which security officer is willing to block the riches of so many rich and powerful, just because he wants to stick to his principles?This is a big net of snares and loops, and wires and wires.Anyone who does not want to be caught by the net and become food for others can only join in and become a part of the net.

Could it be that the top executives of the alliance or the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't know?No, they know better than anyone else, but they are also in the network, and no one can break the unspoken rules in order to complete the work.

This is the same as the Japanese army who invaded China back then. They knew that the puppet army was unreliable, but they still had to use it.

What is a master of loopholes?Hong Tao has lived so many lives, and with more experience and broad vision, his ability to find loopholes in the rules has also increased day by day. Degree, one catch one accurate!

When it comes to the East Asian Union specifically, I dare not say that the whole body is full of holes, and there are also leaks everywhere.This is the inevitable result of imperfect rules and the growth of corruption.High officials can use the power in their hands to make profits, but the middle and lower classes can't just sit idle.They are also human beings, and as human beings, they have a nature. They are slow to learn good things, but quick to learn bad things!

The pillars have the way of the pillars, and the purlins have the way of the purlins.The ancients summed it up very well, chickens don't pee, each has its own way.The immediate boss can occupy the entire industry, which is called franchising, and the soldiers dare to charge a few dollars and turn a blind eye to the less critical links.

You guys don’t maintain the alliance like your own home. We don’t even have the right to make decisions. Why bother to guard an acre of land and make wedding clothes for others in the future.

This situation has been deeply felt since Hong Tao established the Albatross Transport Team and joined Changfeng Transport Company.As long as you don't smuggle controlled products in large quantities, the checkpoints between the security team and the districts are basically useless for the transportation company's vehicles, and two packs of cigarettes can solve the problem.

If you come and go often, and you are more generous, you can even deal with the alliance army guarding the Fourth Ring Road sentry. The difference is nothing more than two boxes.Soldiers are also human beings. They also have families to support and material comforts.

Let local businessmen bribe the security team on the blockade, not only let them contribute to the anti-blockade, but also keep away from the core to the greatest extent, even if there is a traitor, it will not hurt the bones.The big deal is to waste some supplies and not achieve the effect of icing on the cake.

Speaking of supplies, there is no need to worry.All the inedible, expensive, and small things found in the red zone were all stored in more than a dozen secret warehouses. The accumulation of two months was enough for Tao Wei and the others to waste some time.

Time, yes, time.Hong Tao has already calculated all the countermeasures the alliance government can use. As long as they don't jump out of the scope of the rules, this round will never have a chance of winning.

Are you really forced to jump over the wall?Hong Tao also thought about it, if they don't feel sorry for the alliance they have worked so hard for, they don't have to worry about others.At that time, internal strife will be impossible. Even if deception, kidnapping and assassination are used, the military will have to be forced to act first.

Hong Mouse has never been a good person, let alone a saint, but a real villain with ideals and ambitions.The biggest difference between a villain and a gentleman is that the former has no bottom line. Once he is threatened, he will immediately turn his face and disown his relatives, as long as he is suitable.

"Radish, spinach, Chinese cabbage, green beans, winter wheat, alfalfa, lamb, calf... Pesticides... Hoes... Cattle... Captain Hong, are you going to open up wasteland and farm?" Looking at the list in his hand, Tao Wei fell into deep confusion again.

In addition to some medicines, seasonings, and winter clothing, the most are all agricultural tools, pesticides, and seeds.Even if he is not a farmer, he can guess what these things are for, and only for that purpose.

"What do you eat if you don't open up wasteland? The anti-blockade can only transport some small-scale materials, and the price is still so high. Even if there is a golden mountain, you have to sit and eat. You may not know that I am a very qualified farmer. As long as there is land and water, I will not starve to death. .

It will soon be mid-August, which happens to be the planting season. As long as we take care of it well, we can harvest a bunch of vegetables and grass before winter, and feed a small amount of cattle and sheep.By next summer, new flour can be eaten, and the number of breeding can be expanded. Even if self-sufficiency is not achieved temporarily, it will be almost the same for another year or two. "

Hong Tao has never given up on bragging. He must brag when he can, and he must brag when he can't create conditions.Tao Wei, who doesn't know much about himself, is a very good listener. It is not difficult to make a guest appearance as an agricultural expert.

"...If you really want to fight the alliance for a long time, what about the market?"

Whether he is a real agricultural expert or not, Tao Wei no longer cares, his mind is full of crossroads market.This is the place where he made his fortune, and it is also the place where his dreams are carried. If it cannot open normally by next summer, what is the point of doing everything now.

"This should be asked in reverse to the management office. Can they really block it for a few months or even half a year? Tao Wei, if you want to achieve a great cause, you must first have a strong enough ambition. You must not only dare to take risks, but also be good at planning.

As far as the strike is concerned, how long do you think the coalition government can resist?How long do you dare to resist?Don't forget, there are tens of thousands of immigrants waiting thousands of kilometers away.

What are you looking forward to?It must not be that he left his hometown and was blocked in a new place, lacking food and drink, starving and freezing.If they knew what was going on here, guess what would happen?

The longer the delay, the more detrimental it is to the coalition government. They must solve this problem before the spring, and they must have a reason.Otherwise, there will be no immigrant convoy next year, and the remaining immigrants from the Xinjiang province can escape into the mountains and form small tribes to continue living, or contact the Southwest Alliance and send a big gift for free. "

Whether the confrontation will continue for a long time, Hong Tao's answer is that it is possible, but the possibility is extremely small.If the alliance government insists on establishing its prestige, it will risk getting up early in the morning and rushing to the evening market to make wedding clothes for others.Comparing the two compartments, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

Chapter 1024 A Little Accident

"There is also this meaning... No wonder they trust you so much! Can I ask one more question, you said that as long as we exercise restraint and act according to the rules, the alliance government will not send troops. I believe this, but once they Are you not afraid of being cornered and resorting to indiscriminate tricks?"

Tao Wei was persuaded. He had only heard of this man's great powers and exhaustive strategies before. After getting along with him for several months, he only saw some personal charm and prestige.This time is the real plan, seeing is believing!

However, compared with the behemoth-like alliance government, no matter how powerful an individual is, he still looks a bit fragile.Even if the military would abide by the rules and not participate in civil affairs, who could guarantee Hong Tao's personal safety?

"It's useless to be afraid. When the zombie disease first broke out, I was surrounded by biting monsters. If I had been afraid, there wouldn't be the East Asian Union today. There are some things that no one can figure out the whole result. As long as there is hope, I should go Do it, and leave the rest to God. This is called boldness, not recklessness."

For a person who habitually hits the south wall and does not know how to repent, calculating the thickness of the wall and the strength of the head is the embodiment of wisdom.Personal life and death cannot be predicted at all, so it cannot be considered as a parameter.Character determines destiny, and how to choose at this time is often the dividing line between success and failure.

"It's good to be brave, it's good to be brave, and I'm going to be brave once. As long as the army doesn't come, whether it's the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the security team, a headbutt will have to open a few gaps to get all the supplies on the list in."

How to distinguish boldness from recklessness, Tao Wei still can't fully agree with this explanation.However, he was a little affected by Hong Tao's calm demeanor. Facing such a legendary figure, some things that he didn't dare to think about or do before seemed less scary.

When Tao Wei left, a group of four-wheeled carriages were slowly approaching from the east, passing by each other and greeting each other.Seeing that the carriage was full of goods, I felt a little more confident.

What the convoy brought in was probably the grain and beef and mutton purchased from Bai Side in his name. Roughly calculated in terms of quantity, if you save some food, it will at least allow the immigrants in the new safety zone to carry it for two or three months.

With food, the effect of the coalition government's blockade will be greatly reduced.As long as there are no serious divisions among the refugees and the coalition government is not given an excuse to take further action, it is indeed possible to delay for a long time.If it can be delayed until the beginning of spring, then it is really uncertain who will win the game.

"Brother Rat, the transportation team has been notified that tomorrow they will not be able to enter the new security zone without a special pass. Fortunately, Brother Tong and Wang Gang knew a squadron leader who was temporarily transferred from the east security zone to reinforce the security team, and it took a lot of money." Try to relax the deadline to four o'clock tomorrow morning, if you hurry up, you can transport forty or fifty more cars."

The convoy Tao Wei encountered was indeed from the Ping An Transportation Company, and Hu Yang personally escorted the convoy.He got very definite information, and he wanted to discuss countermeasures with Hong Tao, to see if he could use other methods to continuously transport the remaining material resources in.
