Chapter 221 Building Block Pyramid
"Ahem, Miss Rose, are you curious about why underground gangs still appear in the capital, or are you more curious about the emergence of monopolistic gangs in areas inhabited by foreign descendants."
"It's not surprising that gangs appear. Even in a place with strict laws like Dunland, there are still small local gangs. The reason why there is no mafia as you call it. I think it's because I don't have enough immigrants in the small town.
"
Martin is quite familiar with things like gangs. Every year, many gang bosses come to sincerely repent. After repenting and donating a large amount of money, they still come to repent the next year. I feel that the confession is fake, so I come here to repent.
The money is real.
"I'm going to make a counter-intuitive theory. The emergence of gangs is not directly related to the strictness of the law. By the way, Sir Administrator, can you give me some building blocks? The simplest kind is a long strip.
Just a wooden block will do.”
"no problem."
After the light ball finished speaking, a cloud of light mist rose on the table. Then the light mist condensed into dozens of tiny building blocks.
"Please allow me to give you a simple model of the country's composition."
After Annick finished speaking, he used building blocks to build a simple pyramid. In this world, the tombs of emperors in the Southern Continent were also built as pyramid-style piles of stones, so it was not difficult for everyone to understand. Annick then pointed to the top of the tower and said.
"This is the simplest national structure model. The three building blocks at the top form the spire, which represents the core ruling class of most countries."
"The core of the triangle formed by the church, the royal family and the aristocratic parliament?" Martin answered.
"Yes, the reason why we call it a general country is because a few republics do not have a royal family. In short, it is a combination of the divine power that represents the interests of the gods and the royal power that represents the secular rulers. They form the top level of the pyramid."
This is easy to understand, even the great pirate Drake nodded.
"Mr. Detective, what is the connection between this and underground gangs?"
Although Elizabeth was very interested in this simple model, she still asked her own questions.
"Don't worry, who is at the bottom of the pyramid?" Annick continued.
"Labourers, farmers, soldiers and traders?" Elizabeth tried to answer.
"Absolutely. In short, they are people who have to put in a lot of physical labor. These constitute the bottom layer of the pyramid. If we take a person as an analogy, the top layer of the pyramid is the brain, and the bottom layer of the pyramid is the limbs. What maintains the connection between them is
What." Annick continued to inspire.
"It's not just the torso, it's you who proposed the middle layer of the pyramid." Drake replied without thinking.
"That's right, who are the people in the middle of the pyramid? Let me answer for you. They are the police, doctors, lawyers and grassroots civil servants who provide public services. Now, if I do this, what will happen to the pyramid?"
After Annick finished speaking, he took away a block in the middle of the pyramid, then took away all the lower blocks of the middle block, and then built a mini version of the pyramid on the side.
"It doesn't have much impact on the Great Pyramid. A small gold tower has been built next to it. The small pyramid built on the edge of the kingdom is what you encountered in the East District of Lumang."
After Elizabeth thought for a while, she replied: "Mr. Detective, you mean that the East District lacks enough police officers and doctors to provide public services, and then the mafia takes advantage of it? They have established small underground kingdoms."
"If we can simply understand the cause, that's it, but many rural and suburban areas don't have enough police officers. Why didn't the mafia appear?" Annick asked, pointing to the middle of the remaining pyramid.
"Because there is a village chief elected by the small lords and villagers themselves?" Elizabeth tentatively answered.
"Yes, because of the existence of these people. In the final analysis, underground gangs exist because of the lack of order. Just like the pyramid relies on gravity to hold together and not fall, order is needed to maintain the country's pyramid. Certain national forces
Where it cannot be effectively reached, underground gangs will naturally emerge and replace some of the functions of the state. Worse than distorted order is disorder."
"I can understand this. If you encounter big pirates like Thunder King Drake or Benevolent Sao Feng on the Tempest Ocean, your life will definitely not be in danger. If you encounter the tyrant Tuda, you will be dead."
Derek didn't forget to brag about himself. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the detective opposite staring at him. Did he accidentally reveal his information just now? This kid must have guessed that I was King Thunder. Forget it anyway.
Since they are all partners, he definitely doesn't want his commission to disappear.
It turns out that Mr. Sailor is really the King of Thunder, and he actually put himself in front of the Four Emperors. It seems that Mr. Drake didn't pay attention to the trick, hehe.
Annick came back to his senses and continued.
"So the core of the emergence of gangs is the lack of state power at the grassroots level, and the failure to establish an order that covers all blind corners of society. Let's put it this way. There is only a small police station near the port of Gonia District in Eggsburg.
, a dozen people simply cannot fully handle a port area of more than 100,000 people."
It turns out that you are really just an ordinary policeman. You were pulled down by the supreme light ball, oh, the administrator, just because you have a better mind? Drake is now feeling more balanced. At least he can compare with this Mr. Detective.
I am still strong, even if I ignore the twenty-year-old saint next to me.
"So Mr. Detective also saw gangs?" Elizabeth asked.
"I see, it's just different from what you imagined bullying men and women. Most gangs have now become vendors who run small businesses secretly. Of course, I am not advocating the meaning of gangs, but it is just impossible for the police to take over such a large area now.
For all issues in the jurisdiction, reaching the necessary compromises with those people is the compromise that maximizes the interests of everyone."
"Then the existence of underground gangs is reasonable?" Elizabeth asked.
"It is reasonable, but not necessary. The social organizations stolen by them must be repaired, otherwise the entire country will be like this."
After Annick finished speaking, he took away a few blocks from the middle of the pyramid, and then the entire pyramid collapsed.
"Mr. Detective, do you want to say that the lack of grassroots governance and order will eventually lead to the collapse of the country?" Martin asked.
"That's what I mean. In this way, all forces, including the divine power, will have to be reshuffled until someone re-establishes order."
"Aren't gods immortal?"
"There is eternal immortality. The true gods of the elves and vampires have either disappeared in history or fallen asleep. The cornerstone of becoming a god in this world is the vast majority of the people. If the people do not believe in the true god, he relies on the resonance of the believers.
The power will naturally disappear."
