Everyone is speechless. It seems that this is the truth. The criminals arrested by Section 9 are serious criminals who have caused damage to the economy of the island country. Once Section 9 is gone, the damage will become greater and the island country will not make any money. How can it protect its children? There will be no money.
, children in orphanages still have to finish, and even ordinary children also have to finish.
At this time, Duran was thinking of what the Arasaka company's bodyguard said to V: You only know how to destroy, but what's wrong with the company's millions of employees? Without the company, how can employees survive?
It has almost the same meaning in island countries. If the parliament of the island country is finished, who will make money and who will feed thousands of children?
The section chief is upright and believes that he is doing the right thing and making necessary sacrifices.
The Nine Lessons don’t have the courage to break the bottles and jars. After all, they have really destroyed them, and they don’t have the confidence to stand up after breaking them. If they destroy and cannot build again, they are sinners.
The head teacher told everyone very bluntly that the Nine Lessons were a necessary evil, which meant sacrificing the few to save the many. Everyone was speechless because after all, they could not give a better way out.
It is too wasteful for the charity budget to be spent on the old, weak, sick and disabled. It should be spent on Section 9. Section 9 can do many things and stabilize the order of the island country.
Du Lan thought that it was necessary to use it on the old, weak, sick and disabled, because it was to solve social problems. If this money was not spent, everyone would have no support and would have to protect themselves and rob resources.
When resources are controlled, social problems become more serious. If there is a backing, everyone can act arbitrarily. If there is no backing, everyone will act arbitrarily. The section chief's words can only be regarded as a conspiracy to control resources, not a conspiracy to establish rules.
.
What the island country now lacks is fresh water, electricity, land and other basic resources, which has completely stuck the upper limit. As a result, it is difficult to upgrade the industry. Although it has some industrial advantages, it will not last long. In the future, there will be more and more conflicts. No matter how hard the Nine Lessons work, it will not last long.
It's useless. What's needed is a backing up, to establish social credit, so that everyone can work day and night.
Let everyone stop grabbing resources and build a large number of power plants, roads and other infrastructure first.
It's a pity that everyone is grabbing resources now, so no one in the island country is willing to build infrastructure. The section chief's idea will only make everything worse.
But there was no need for Dulan to be at odds with the section chief. After he and everyone left the section chief's office, he couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone's heart was heavy because they were necessary evils and had to bear evil thoughts and consequences. Dulan's smile broke the heavy atmosphere and was inappropriate.
"Why are you laughing?" Togusa asked.
"I'm laughing at the head teacher's calculations."
"What's the plan?"
"Of course you spend a small amount of money to do big things. Is what the island country needs a necessary evil? No, what it needs is infrastructure, but the cost of infrastructure cannot be covered by a mere charity budget. Even if you package and sell the nine courses, you can't handle it. So just
Can you think of spending a small amount of money to do big things, if in the world
The problem can be solved so easily, and there is no need for everyone to work hard to make money and build rules." Dulan said: "You can't change anything by spending a small amount of money. Necessary evil is a good saying, but it has no effect.
The situation in island countries will only get worse."
Togusa said: "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"Why bother an old man? It's not easy for him either. Can we still force him to change the social consensus? It's impossible, so it's better not to say anything."
"..." After everyone heard this, they originally thought that necessary evil would be useful, but it turned out to be useless. They felt even more uncomfortable.
"Whether a country is good or not cannot be achieved by just a few people. It has to rely on all the efforts being used in one place and developing wholeheartedly. Only then can we generate more electricity, more fresh water, and even more land. Only by
Lesson 9, a necessary evil, can build power plants and reservoirs
, Reclamation of land from the sea? It can’t be done, it’s simply impossible. Since it can’t be done, we can only watch the situation worsen.” Dulan said: “So the problem is that simple. The section chief spends a small amount of money to do big things, but there is a contradiction.
It will only get more and more intense, welcome to the era of cyberpunk."
Everyone returned to the office, not feeling energetic, because what Dulan said was right. But even if he said it right, he couldn't do it. It was too difficult.
Looking at history, the island countries really worked together. The first time was to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, learn the new system, and then conquer the Ezo people. Then the Warring States Period ended their external expansion, and then they respected the emperor and punished traitors.
These are all periods of expansion.
This is the problem of the landlords and nobles. If they can expand and profit, everyone will be happy together. If there is no expansion, then everyone can only suppress each other. In the end, the landlords who control foreign trade can suppress other landlords.
Therefore, it is still necessary to respect the emperor, punish traitors, and expand externally in order to truly stimulate national strength. This is historical inertia.
Dulan doesn't care. After all, that's how fun cyberpunk is. It wouldn't be fun if everyone immersed themselves in infrastructure construction and developed productivity together. Cyberpunk is about control and resistance, a duel of thinking, and a hundred schools of thought contending. That's it.
To demonize one's opponents means not allowing allies to betray, to constantly propagandize to create divisions, and to use a few to hide under the majority.
Under the bustling city, new evils are growing. A group of veterans are preparing to tell the people about the evils of the island country. The island country betrayed its army!
This group of veterans fought passionately abroad, but did not receive any subsidies or pensions. They could not find jobs after returning home because many bosses considered retired soldiers to be unstable factors.
This makes it difficult for veterans to survive, so a group of veterans want to roar to the society to let them know that the island country is ashamed of its veterans.
Especially the leader of the veterans. He fought bloody battles abroad, but his wife was forced to die for debt and his daughter starved to death. He hated it! So he led other veterans to control a virus laboratory and negotiate with the island country.
A group of veterans with combat experience quickly took control of the virus laboratory and would release the super virus inside at any time.
They started live streaming online.
"My name is Saburo Sauda, a veteran of the Kamikaze Special Forces." He did not hide his identity because he wanted all citizens to know his existence.
"I want to talk to the Prime Minister. If there is no answer within two hours, I will release the toxins in the laboratory. These toxins will spread through the air. By then, people within a hundred miles will die. And it is best not to cut off the Internet. Once
Cut off the Internet and I will release toxins immediately." The veteran said: "I don't want to use violence against this country. I love the island country, but some people and certain things in the island country force me to do something. I am not a terrorist.
, I just want to wake up the numb citizens and let them know what we have all experienced."
Through the online live broadcast, everyone saw this information and heard the determination and helplessness of the veterans.
Check out the correct version one by one!
The news also reached Section 9, and everyone gathered in the office, waiting to set off. They knew very well that this case would probably fall on them, after all, Section 9 was all about hard work.
Because the identity is not concealed, the number and name are all there, so it can be called up directly.
"One Medal of the Sun, two Medals of Kamikaze, this is a fighting hero who has made great contributions to the island country." Half of the members of the ninth class are from the military, and they know the weight of three medals. These are honors that can only be obtained in a narrow escape.
Logically speaking, such an honorable veteran should not become a terrorist, but the current situation is very bad.
Information on other suspects has also arrived. They are all veterans. Each of them has participated in difficult battles, and it is not easy to survive.
The emotions in Lesson 9 are complicated.
The live broadcast was not interrupted. Saburo Zuoda slowly told his tragic experience. The point was to tell others that he was betrayed by the island country and that the island country had failed its veterans.
His tragedy is indeed touching. His wife went to borrow money to run the family's small shop, but the bank was unwilling to lend money. In the end, she had to borrow money at usurious rates and was forced to die. His daughter starved to death because there was no one to take care of her. And there was nothing about the whole process that came from the island country.
of help.
The same is more or less true for other veterans. Some are sick but have no medical insurance and cannot afford medicine. Some veterans cannot find jobs and can only become homeless. Some veterans can only rely on their wives to support themselves and become a burden on their families...
On the battlefield, they all charged into battle and narrowly escaped death, but when they returned home, they were treated unfairly.
"We fought bloody battles for the island nation, but the island nation failed to live up to our sacrifices. I don't want to hurt everyone, I just want an explanation, and I just want everyone to wake up. Citizens, we should not continue to be numb, we should not be ignorant, we should rise up and fight!
