"The problems in the west are getting serious..." Nomila was reporting the work situation to Du Lin on the phone. Her words were a bit alarmist, but they were also true.
Without Dulin's intervention, conflicts between immigrant workers and native workers in the empire have become more and more frequent. In addition, the high-profile lawsuit is still dragging on, and there is no conclusion. From time to time, conflicts between the two groups break out. When fights occur, social security in the west has also deteriorated to a certain extent.
The state government hopes to resolve the conflicts between the two groups peacefully and amicably as soon as possible, and has reported these issues to the cabinet. Since they cannot solve them themselves now, they can only expect the cabinet to come up with an effective solution.
The cabinet's current attention is not on such a big deal in the west. Peace negotiations with the federation are the focus. As for those things in the west, the western state governments should be committed to solving them themselves, and don't always think about letting the cabinet This is a waste of energy.
"The last court hearing will be in a few days. I heard that both sides are secretly communicating with each other. I am very worried that once the results of the trial come out, if both sides are not satisfied, something big may happen!"
After listening patiently, Du Lin pondered for a moment and told her not to worry about these problems.
In fact, the problems between immigrant workers and local workers have not completely exploded, resulting in huge destructive power, and the cabinet will not pay attention to these issues. Only after something happens will the cabinet pay attention to it, and Dulin will be able to have more room for maneuver.
For the empire, immigrants are a new ethnic group. They are different from minority groups such as the Guarts and the Shanya people. The empire is also a strange place for them and not so friendly. Before both sides get involved in a fight, Dulin's attempt to settle the matter will not bring him any benefit, let alone any positive influence. Only when something happens and it is a big deal can he be able to show off. Dulin's abilities and gain the necessary favor.
After hanging up the phone, Dulin returned to the study. Mags looked up at him and started looking through the documents again, with no intention of asking him anything.
After returning from Otis City, Magus gave him a few words, thinking that Dulin's too high-profile donation of his assets to the city hall was not a wise choice, and it was very likely to produce a series of mistakes. social judgment. For example, the most mainstream supporters of conspiracy theories in public opinion may speculate whether Dulin was coerced or coerced into donating his assets to the city hall in exchange for the promise of his own life.
This is not impossible, and it is very marketable. In the minds of conspiracy theorists, the rulers of a country are always dirty and despicable people, and every decision is an act with selfish purposes. For them, The country is always black. Occasionally, a white thing will appear, and it will soon be submerged by black.
This kind of argument will greatly affect the empire's system. Although most people have become accustomed to it over the years, this is still not a good thing.
Du Lin laughed it off, asking for money in my pocket but not allowing me to give it to you in a high-profile way. What's the difference between this and being a hooligan
This also made the two of them talk a lot less than before in the past two days, and they both had headaches.
While the two maintained a certain degree of cold war, the problems facing the West were fermenting rapidly, spreading within the two groups at a terrifying speed.
"These imperial people will not give us fair treatment. Their attitude determines everything. Look, those bastards will definitely be let go. On the contrary, our injured family members will be severely punished!" said a person from a certain The young people from the small country were promoting their views, and there were many people watching around them, some of whom even nodded.
He was surrounded by so many people and these people recognized his remarks, which kept him in a state of excitement. The arson case made the originally loose immigrant group closely united for the first time. This may be the first time in those few It's something that even a worker who sets a fire wouldn't think about. Their inadvertent small act of revenge will actually have a more far-reaching impact, prompting the loose immigrants to unite.
Now, some few immigrants have a clear understanding that when this group becomes united, someone will inevitably stand out from it. Even when a group of animals gather together, there will always be a leader, let alone humans who are more capable and intelligent? As long as you can stand out now, you may not become a master in the future.
The class division of society is always a small number of people stepping on the heads of the majority to enjoy the beautiful scenery. These people may not have much knowledge and do not know how to operate best, but their instinct tells them that they must take things as big as possible. Noisy. The matter got bigger and attracted more attention. If the imperial government wanted to solve these troubles, it would definitely talk to them.
But there are so many immigrants, and it’s impossible to talk to everyone about how to solve these things, so what should we do
It's very simple. Talk to a few people who can represent more people. After the matter is resolved and the influence of these minorities is determined, they will become the first batch of middle- and upper-class people to stand out from the immigrant group and enjoy More and better treatment.
Thinking of the glorious tomorrow before him, the young man became even more excited. He waved his arms with a red face and talked about his ridiculous theory of favoritism, which aroused the anger and even hatred of most immigrants.
This kind of thing is not only happening in this place. The same thing is happening in many places, where many migrant workers live.
On July 16, after the last trial, the judge and jury made a joint decision. There were no more measures except fines and community labor for the workers who set fires. On the contrary, these workers were beaten for beatings. Immigrants who cause the death of others are relatively severely punished.
Among these migrant workers, three received the most severe sentences.
The first one was a person who chanted revenge slogans to avenge these arsonists. Because his actions created a state of sanity among the subsequent participants, it can also be said that his actions of revenge directly caused terrible consequences, so he was sentenced sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
The second one was someone who ran to a nearby factory for others to call for more immigrants to come back and join the fight. Because he spontaneously spread the news, a fight that might not have serious consequences turned into a one-sided fight. Sadistic revenge, so this guy got six years.
The third person is the first person to throw the first punch in this unilateral act of revenge. If he had not done so at that time, there is a certain chance that the subsequent fight may have been avoided, so he needs to bear more responsibility. Many others were responsible and sentenced to ten years.
Most of the other participants were imprisoned for periods ranging from half a year to three years. In addition to being imprisoned, these people would also be permanently deported, and they would be sent out of the empire after they served their time in prison.
The outcome of the trial immediately aroused great dissatisfaction among the immigrant community. They believed that the culprit was not the immigrants who acted impulsively for their homeland, but the arsonists. Without their impulse to set fires to satisfy their selfish desires, the following things would not have happened.
While the immigration side is finding new lawyers to continue to protest the final result and appeal to the Supreme Court of the Empire, it is also contacting more people who can provide help.
But there is a small group of people who obviously have different ideas, and they intend to use other more radical methods to resolve the current differences.
"Bloodshed may not solve the problem, but it can make people see our determination to solve the problem!"
On July 19, three days after the final trial, a large-scale conflict broke out in the west. Many immigrants, inspired by a very small number of people, attacked the workers' union premises and smashed the entire building. Then the working class also stood up and fought back against the rioting immigrants. In this incident, which lasted for two days and was known as the "Two-Day Riot", a total of 61 people were killed and hundreds were injured. Serious consequences.
And this incident has indeed drawn the cabinet's attention away from negotiations and back to the country.
"Why didn't anyone realize that these things would happen before these tragedies happened?" Maggs rarely slapped the table at the cabinet meeting. He has always given people the impression of being a very elegant and easy-going person, almost You can't see him losing his temper, which is enough to show how angry he is now.
He threw a document in his hand into the middle of the table, tapped his knuckles on the table and made a bangbang sound, "Look, gentlemen, ninety-three people have died. This is in the past ten years... no, twenty years. It was the most numerous civil conflict incident, and it was also related to a very special group of immigrants. "Only 61 people died in the publicity, but in fact some seriously injured patients went to see their respective faiths not long after they were sent to the hospital. Sir, these people were not counted in the first batch of deaths to avoid making things more terrifying.
If Mags knew that the death toll just exceeded one hundred as he spoke, it would probably be more than just slamming the table.
"There is no early warning alarm, no response measures, no effective means to solve these troubles, and the judge responsible for the final judgment has a mental problem. Why does your Ministry of Justice still let him sit in the judge's seat?"
"Who is derelict in their duties? Who gave them the power to put them in this position? Find these people, throw them out, and put this matter to rest."
"Gentlemen, the whole world is paying attention to this matter now. If it is not handled well, you will be more unlucky than me. Please believe me!"
