Chapter 2952: Chapter 2940 military affairs
Translator: 549690339
The more the military and police arrested, the larger Lina’s society became. Even though there were not enough prisons in the gamma s.p.a.ce, there were still a large number of people willing to join Lina’s society. These people had previously been limited to the poor, gradually, they had expanded to ordinary people.
A debt crisis and a devastating inflation. These two financial crises were like two nuclear bombs, blasting the gamma s.p.a.ce into pieces. Countless businesses had closed down, and countless workers had lost their jobs, the people who were already poor had even less food and clothing, and their lives were in danger.
In such a situation, no matter how much the government promoted it, it would be useless. Unless you could provide enough food and supplies to ensure the people’s basic lives, a piece of law or the violent intervention of the military and police would not solve the problem, that would not solve the problem.
Meanwhile, Lina had real gold and silver in her hands. Working with her meant that she had food to eat and that she could buy food. This was more effective than any kind of propaganda.
A few days later, Colonel Kono changed his strategy. He saw that he could not catch the mastermind behind this society, so he changed to the policy of imperial security. He asked people to spread the word that as long as the owner of the society was willing to show up.., if he was willing to cooperate with the government, then he would definitely be able to sit on a high position and ride a fine horse.
However, the problem was that Lina was not born with a humble background. She had received an elite education since she was young, and she was well-versed in imperial security. She knew that as long as she showed up now, she would definitely not have a good ending.
Moreover, even if Kono’s travel promise would not deceive Lina, would lina, who had a grudge against her father, surrender? If she was greedy for her own safety or wealth, wouldn’t it be better for her to stay at Jiang Fei’s Home? Although the two of them did not have anything to do with each other, in the entire gamma s.p.a.ce, who did not know that she was the woman of the second-in-command, Ralph?
Lina’s background and her brain would not allow her to surrender. Therefore, Colonel Kono’s plan to make her surrender was doomed to fail.
A week pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. As Lina’s society grew larger and larger, Colonel Kono was at his wit’s end. At that moment, the consul was a little anxious, after all, no dictator could tolerate having hundreds of thousands of disobedient citizens around him.
However, Colonel Kono, who was in charge of the military, could not handle this matter. Therefore, the consul had to summon Jiang Fei again.
“Sir, are you looking for me?”Jiang Fei quickly arrived at the Consul’s residence and saw the consul himself.
“You know the recent situation. Do you have any ideas?”The consul asked.
“Sir, you are talking about that huge club, right?”Jiang Fei asked.
“Yes. In just a few days, they have grown to nearly 300,000 people. This is too scary!”The consul said.
“They are just a group of unarmed starving people. Since someone is willing to pay to help you support them, why wouldn’t you?”Jiang Fei said.
“That doesn’t sound like something you would say. Can’t you see that this is a huge hidden danger?”? Once the leader of this club instigated them to do something, hundreds of thousands of people would riot together. That would be very difficult to deal with,”said the consul.
“Sir, I have said before that there is no good way to deal with these hungry people. Either we provide relief or we have to let them develop. However, we have no money and no food. There is no way to provide relief to these hungry people. They will just follow the people who can eat their fill,”Jiang Fei said.
“No matter what you say, we still have to implement military control and unify the distribution of resources!”said the consul as he looked at Jiang Fei deeply. He did not know why Jiang Fei was so insistent on doing this. It would not benefit him at all, once military control was implemented, Colonel Kono would be in power. Ralph would have to stand aside.
“Sir, I am lacking in knowledge. I can only think of this method to stabilize the current situation. After military control, I would be left empty-handed. This is definitely not a good thing for me. However, this is the only way I can think of to solve the problem,”said Jiang Fei.
“Sigh! Even if I am willing to do this, those rich businessmen and high-ranking officials would not be willing. They would not hand over the money and resources.”The consul sighed and expressed his true thoughts.
“My Lord, you are too ignorant. As long as you make sure that Colonel Kono is willing to support you and give the officers and all the military police some benefits, I think that they will definitely be willing to work with you. Once you control the military, those high-ranking officials and rich businessmen will not be able to decide!”Jiang Fei sneered and said.
“That’s right! The army is in my hands. Why would I be afraid of them?”The consul slapped his thigh and said.
“Sir, if you want to stabilize the society, this is the only way,”Jiang Fei said.
“Alright! I’ll call Kono Over Now!”The consul nodded and sent for Colonel Kono.
Jiang Fei and the consul drank tea in the living room for a while. In about half an hour, Colonel Kono arrived. He had not been in the military camp for the past few days. Previously, when he was selling the Lunar Crystal Futures, he had also gotten a lot of cash, therefore, he had been busy with the business recently.
“Sir, you were looking for me?”Colonel Kono greeted the consul.
“Yes! I have something to discuss with you this time!”The consul nodded and asked, “How is the situation in the military recently?”
“It’s more stable!”Colonel Kono said. Because the military’s material distribution system was a separate system, there were sufficient reserves. Therefore, the economic crisis had not affected the military camp yet.
However, this stability could not be maintained for long. After all, the soldiers were not all orphans. They also had a family to support. It was not enough to just eat by themselves.
“How about this, you pa.s.s on the order. From today onwards, the salaries of all officers and soldiers will be doubled, and they will be paid with Moon Spirit Crystals!”The consul was also a very courageous person, he knew that the most critical issue right now was to firmly control the army by his side.
“Many thanks, my lord. I thank you on behalf of those officers and soldiers for your Grace!”Kono immediately stood up and said. This time, he was also the beneficiary. After all, he was also in the army. Although he had a lot of gray profits.., but who would complain that he had earned too much?
“Then, there’s another matter!”The consul said to Kono with a serious expression.
“My Lord, Please Speak!”Colonel Kono said.
“I plan to put the entire s.p.a.ce under military control! Forcibly confiscate the resources and moon spirit crystals from the hands of those wealthy merchants and high-level bureaucratic families!”The consul said his purpose.
“My Lord, is this appropriate?”Although Kono was extremely happy in his heart, he still had to act on the surface. Once the military control was put in place, he would become a person with real power!
