Chapter 682 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] One Hundred and Thirty-One: Appearances of All Living Beings (8)

"It's important to calm people's anger."

The young man named Freeman glanced at everyone present.

In addition to the Archbishop, Lil Besarius, Charles, and Winston Churchill, there were four other people present. They were in charge of the internal and external markets, civil affairs, infrastructure, and finance of Yharnam City.

This unscientific classification means that the actual power of each department is different, and the powers must overlap to a certain extent.

The House of Representatives still maintains this system. The reason is that the huge market brought by the large influx of new immigrants has raised the threshold of distributable benefits. Even if there is an intersection of power, the growing social interests still guarantee this

The unscientific system continues to operate.

At the same time, everyone understands that precisely because of this unscientific system, the upper limit of the accumulation of contradictions is also constantly increasing, like a time bomb that keeps getting stronger.

And now, this bomb is about to explode.

"The impact of the strike is immeasurable."

Freeman spoke sincerely.

"When I came to the House of Representatives this morning, traffic in the entire city of Yharnam was completely paralyzed. Demonstrators burned part of the steam bus track and damaged the light rail from Central Park to Uptown."

He looked at the other congressman.

"Congressman Aikawson, when the light rail bill was first decided, how much did one kilometer cost?"

Congressman Aikaoson, who is responsible for infrastructure construction, answered truthfully:

"100,000 pounds per kilometer."

Congressman Aikaoson is a real fence-sitter. He has relied on luck and a little shade passed down from his ancestors to sit where he is today. He does not dare to offend anyone present.

The ability to observe words and emotions that he has honed over a lifetime allows him to handle any extreme conflict with ease. This is his greatest asset in being in the position he is in today, and it is also the reason why he can become a member of the parliament who manages infrastructure - everyone here proposed

He has a way to satisfy any tricky request.

Freeman looked at everyone's face:

"One hundred thousand pounds, an incredible figure, gentlemen, high technology means unimaginably high prices, and the infrastructure purchased at these extremely high prices is being destroyed by strikes - and I don't mean this time, but afterwards.

every time."

"No one can afford such a price. The money to invest in infrastructure comes from real taxes. Even though Yanan City has abundant tax revenue, it cannot withstand such destruction."

Winston Churchill couldn't help but interrupt:

“House Freeman, where did you get that statement [every time after that]?

Is it that stupid simulator game?”

Everyone present probably knew what kind of person Freeman was, and therefore understood Winston Churchill's sarcasm, so their expressions did not change and they just listened quietly to the confrontation between the two.

“Do you think such a large demonstration will happen again?

I tell you clearly, no more, I will let them know that order exists in Yanan City, and my soldiers will defend the dignity of the House and the law, and impose the sanctions they deserve!"

Except for Charles and Lil Besarius, who had known Winston Churchill's plan for a long time, no other house knew about his plan to use violence to suppress it. Now, once he said it, even the most cowardly Acauson House

A little unbearable.

"Congressman Churchill, please take back your crazy idea!"

The first person to speak out was the Archbishop.

"The Holy Light shows mercy to the world with forgiveness and understanding, not bullets!"

When the archbishop said this, it was Lier Besarius' turn to lose his temper. He was old enough and had seen enough. He knew what the choir had done in Yharnam, so he had a clear intention in his heart.

idea--

If there is anything in this world that is more terrifying than rioters, it must be the Church of the Choir, because they do not use knives or bullets to kill people, but the consequences are much more serious than using knives and bullets. Nowadays

They are partly responsible for the ignorance of the people of Yanam City.

The archbishop said this because there must be some interests involved behind the scenes. Lil Besarius thought, this is difficult to guess, because the archbishop is not a native of Yanan City, but airborne from the imperial capital. No one knows

Given his background, there is no way to judge the real purpose behind his remarks.

After the archbishop objected to this, Winston Churchill became very unhappy because he understood that the actual ruling group of the empire was the choir and not the royal family.

More importantly, the current choir is completely different from the purely sectarian organization of the early years. It is a brand new existence after scientific improvements and ideological evolution.

The power held by the new choir, as well as the means to execute its power, are much stronger than in earlier years.

These methods are specifically reflected in the control of people - the father of the girl he is pursuing, General Arthur Wellesley, is a devout Choir member, and every year he gives a large amount of wealth to the Chorus without asking for anything.

any return.

General Arthur Wellesley controlled a huge naval fleet. He had killed more people overseas than most people would eat in a lifetime, but he was such a butcher without feelings, morality or any good emotions.

Became a devout believer in the choir.

Such a thing would have been unimaginable to Winston Churchill.

Because in his opinion, people like the archbishops in the choir are just complete liars.

The unknown about the choir created a deep fear in Winston Churchill's heart, and this fear caused him to remain fiercely cautious when talking to the Archbishop.

"This is not the only ending, Lord Bishop."

Winston Churchill carefully observed every subtle change in the folds of the Archbishop's face.

"As long as the mob does not storm the parliament, my soldiers will never pull the safety bolt first."

The archbishop's face, sitting in the speaker's seat, softened slightly, but he was still displeased.

Seeing that Winston Churchill's arrogance was suppressed, Freeman felt slightly relieved and turned to Charles.

"Lord Charles."

Even though they apparently have the same status, Freeman still uses honorifics reserved for elders when talking to the leader of the Conservative Party, and remains excessively humble.

This humility comes not only from the countless bills that Charles has revised and enacted over the years, but also from the countless large and small companies and enterprises that have interests in Charles.

"I think we need to meet some of the demands of the marchers and give them some necessary commitments - to abolish child labor in factories, to use bills to guarantee workers' labor rights, and to guarantee their daily working hours and wages - we must

Set a minimum wage standard.

In this way, conflicts will naturally be resolved!"

Lier Besarius said in surprise:

"Congressman Charles, you really learned these views from that simulator."

Charles argued:

"Good ideas and strategies should be accepted. According to my investigation, Yanan City fully applies the strategies used to solve the strike problem in the simulator!"

Leal Besarius said:

"You think that Yanan City is made up of dozens of large factories in the industrial zone, but that is not the case. The employment and tax revenue provided by those dozens of large factories only account for less than one-tenth of Yanan City.

The remaining nine-tenths are numerous small businesses and companies, large and small, distributed in various areas of Yanan City.

Most of these small institutions have serious problems with their own profit models - Yanan City has not been industrialized for long, and these small institutions cannot form a scientific operating structure and can only rely on cheap manpower to make up for operational deficiencies.

Believe it or not, for these small companies that account for most of the tax revenue in Yanan City, as long as you dare to set a minimum wage standard, they will kill you in minutes."
