Chapter 57 Branch 0 8 Part 2(1/2)
Fredo was very lucky that when he was most frustrated, he met Dave, an outlier in the dwarf kangaroo society. He came from an upper-class family, so he was born with a lot of resources, whether it was knowledge or material.
Fredo was able to access higher-level knowledge through Dave, and the depression in his heart was gone. The two of them talked about the situation of the entire society and things happening in the major branch cities every day.
"What kind of Freddo do you think this society should be like?"
Dave asked and Fredo smiled.
"It's not that there can't be no classes, but the upper, middle and lower classes should enjoy the greatest degree of intellectual rights and the right to know. If this goes on in the long run, the entire society will become more and more isolated. One day, when productivity problems arise, resource rationing will
If we can't get a balance, I think society will definitely collapse."
Dave nodded. He pointed to some information on the crystal screen, which was the latest harvest. It didn't look any different. Dave laughed.
"Do you think there's a problem with this output?"
Fredo took a quick look. He had already read this news a few days ago, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Dave pointed to some agricultural indexes above.
"If you calculate it according to the method you know, there is indeed no problem, but the problem is that the base number cannot be that large, and there is a very large deviation, so this conclusion is wrong, because recently your army has used some raw materials and ours
In exchange for a large amount of food, I know the published data is false."
Fredo nodded. Only Dave, a dwarf kangaroo from the top, knew about this kind of thing.
"Have you figured out what to do, Fredo?"
"To unite everyone, it's not enough for us alone."
Dave nodded. Now they really need to find some like-minded kangaroos to join forces. Fredo plans to first find some friends with whom he has good relationships in the past.
After the two people discussed it, they started their own actions. Dave planned to find a stronghold, while Fredo needed to win over some friends.
It was very unsatisfactory at first. Fredo went around visiting some friends, including friends in the army, but many kangaroos couldn't understand Fredo's thoughts.
Because Fredo's concept seems alien to many kangaroos, it is not allowed in kangaroo society to resist the orders of the superiors.
Fredo found a lot of kangaroos and talked with them about some things, hoping that they would join, but no kangaroos joined because they felt that there are not big problems in today's society, and what the truth is is important to everyone.
For some kangaroos, it doesn't matter.
A month later, Dave found a stronghold, and he took Fredo there. This was an underground stronghold in the branch city jointly built by the Pygmy Kangaroo and the Western Gray Kangaroo Legion.
Dave obtained this underground research room through his research certificate, and he brought Fredo to this underground research room. The spacious and vast area made Fredo feel very good, but it was a pity that under the light, only Dai Dai
The figure of husband and Fredo.
"Did you fail Fredo?"
Fredo hummed. Because of Dave's special status, Fredo suggested that Dave not be exposed. Dave agreed. He was only responsible for supporting behind the scenes.
"How about trying a different class?"
Dave suggested, and Fredo nodded. There was nothing he could do now, because he had searched many kangaroos he knew in the middle management, and none of them wanted to get involved in such a thing.
"Only when you feel the oppression personally can you develop a mentality of resistance. Obviously, it will take a long time for the middle-level kangaroos to feel the oppression. It will take a long time."
Dave said and Fredo nodded, that's all he can think of now.
It was too difficult to find like-minded people, so Fredo could only give it a try. One day he went to a farm in a branch city. The farm was not big, but the situation on the farm was not good.
When asked about the reason, he found out that the farmer had to pay 90% of the food produced. He was already very anxious. Even the kangaroos on their farm didn't have enough to eat, let alone the slaves who had to work every day.
"Why do you want so much? Wasn't it always 50% before? Why is it 40% more? It's too outrageous."
Fredo thought of the grain production report that Dave said was problematic a month ago. He now understood why there was a problem. The base problem Dave was talking about was that there was no farmland base for the entire Western Gray Kangaroo Corps.
It's so huge, so it's impossible to produce so much food.
Now Fredo knows it, and the higher-ups directly ask them to pay grain. I heard from this farmer that at first it was only 10%, but gradually it increased to 90%. This is a disaster for most farmers.
, although many farmers united and protested, the result of the protest was that the farms were confiscated and assigned to other kangaroos, while the original farmers had everything canceled and sent to live in some branch cities.
.
Hearing this, Fredo probably knew what was going on, because now the Western Gray Kangaroo Corps is vigorously developing technology and the number of kangaroos. The original number of kangaroos has skyrocketed in the past few years, so it could have supplied
The farmland of the Western Gray Kangaroo Corps can no longer support the growing number of kangaroos.
Fredo is keenly aware that the Western Gray Kangaroo Army wants to expand its army. No wonder there have been calls over the past month, asking Fredo to write a letter of guarantee and sincerely admit his mistake and let him return to the army. But Fredo
Too many rejections.
Later, the local government even said that Fredo should go back first and there would be no need to write a guarantee letter, but Fredo still had no intention of going back.
"How did you go about protesting?"
Fredo continued to ask, and the farmer was very helpless. They had tried methods such as reducing production and making human slaves not work, but the kangaroos above did not care about their life and death, and stipulated that they must pay normal farmland payments.
90% of the food produced will even be taken away if enough is not produced.
The food stocks of many farmers before have almost bottomed out. Many farmers in the area can no longer survive. The kangaroos on the farm can only immerse themselves in planting with humans. Soon, at the end of the month, the food collection will begin.
The upper kangaroos are coming again.
"Have you never thought about resisting? Something more intense?"
Fredo asked again, but soon the farmer and other kangaroos all shrugged their heads. Fredo looked at some crops not far away that were about to be harvested, and then smiled and patted the farmer on the shoulder.
"How about I come up with a solution for you?"
"What can I do?"
Fredo's idea is very simple. Since they want all the food, give it to them directly, and then take part of the ration to other branch cities that are not so ruthless in collecting food.
"Then if we do this, won't we starve to death?"
Fredo laughed and said immediately.
"All the farmers left together."
Fredo's words shocked most of the kangaroos present. They had never thought of such a method. Soon the farmers near the branch city gathered after receiving the news. Fredo was serious.
Tell these farmers about the current situation of kangaroo society and how they work hard in the fields, but now they can't even eat.
Many kangaroos seemed a little angry. Fredo's plan was supported by all the kangaroos, and Fredo also planned to stay here. He planned to talk to these kangaroos about the current situation and let them understand something clearly.
thing.
Fredo would discuss some things with these kangaroos in various farms every day, and would also work with them, including talking to some humans about some things. Although the farmer thought it was a little strange, he didn't say anything.
When the day of collecting grain came, farmers made preparations one after another. They prepared the grain that needed to be paid early in the morning, as well as enough rations for themselves along the way. They would go to their friends, and many of their friends heard about their experiences.
I will be happy to receive them later.
Fredo is on one of the largest farms. The grain collectors came over in an aircraft. They only came with a dozen kangaroos, because the farmers usually load the grain into the aircraft themselves for the food collection work.
Went to the warehouse.
"Where are you going?"
"We are leaving. The amount of food for this month is completely sufficient. You can just get it yourself."
The collector was a little confused, but his eyes soon changed, and he immediately grabbed the farmer.
"You are not allowed to leave."
At this time Fredo ran over.
"The kangaroos cannot leave without any legal regulations."
Although some kangaroo soldiers wanted to stop it, they gave up in the end. There are clear laws in the kangaroo society. The kangaroos are free. They can choose to live anywhere. If they don't want to continue in the farmland, they can go to the city.
ri or other places, as long as they are within the scope of the legion.
"Who are you?"
"Fredo."
The entire branch city began to become chaotic. Kangaroo soldiers kept coming out in aircraft. All the farmers who were about to leave soon were stopped. After a while, the branch general came to the farm in person.
"Why did you leave without permission? Your task is to manage the farmland well."
"We have been hungry for a long time. All the food has been taken away. If this continues, we will really starve to death, so we have to leave."
The general stared at Fredo. He knew that this guy was the culprit because he had intelligence that he had been in the nearby farmland for many days.
"We can charge less this time."
"No, I'll charge less this time, but it'll be the same next time, so we'll never have enough to eat."
