980. Lockdown of the Docks (Resigned)
The middle-aged man with a big nose said angrily: "We are just here to do an investigation in the town, we are not bad people......
"Investigation? What to investigate? Qin Shiou stretched out his hand and drew a circle, "Look, almost all the people in the town are here, you want to investigate who is willing to take your money to move away from the island and leave our hometown, right?" Okay, I'll ask for you! ”
Qin Shiou jumped on the front of the pickup truck and shouted: "Who wants to collect money from a chemical factory, and then move to St. John's and leave their hometown to the chemical factory to pollute?!" ”
"Whoever wants to stand up and say it!"
The voices fell, silent, except for the heavy gasps of some people.
Qin Shiou asked this question, it was actually immoral, what he said was the truth, but it kidnapped people to the moral height; In addition, in this case, even if someone wants to take the money to move away, they don't dare to take the lead, and if they come out at this time, they will be the enemies of the town.
However, the human heart is selfish.
Qin Shiou has been silently paying for the town, attracting tourists, establishing wireless base stations, developing fossil museums, asking Odom to build a community hospital, etc., it was after he arrived to bid farewell to the town that the town was reborn and became a paradise.
He didn't want to pay for nothing to be Lei Feng, after all, he paid for the harvest, and now is the time for him to gain the support of the townspeople.
The people of Dow Chemical also understood this, and shouted with a big nose: "You are doing this now, it is unfair to the townspeople, who will expose their choice in such an occasion......"
Qin Shiou didn't let him speak, interrupted him and shouted, "Why can't you?" Are you doing anything? Why can't you tell us openly? Also, even if we all move to St. John's. You can provide us with housing, but what about jobs? What do we feed on?! ”
The reason why Hughes Jr. didn't want the chemical plant to set foot on the island. It was because as soon as he moved to St. John's, the grocery store would go out of business. Because this shop is a tourist business, tourists will not come to visit the chemical plant.
So, he followed Qin Shiou and roared: "Say! What do we feed on?! Where are we going to work?! Do you Dow raise us for a lifetime? What about our children?! ”
"yes, where are we going to work!"
"What will happen to our children?"
"We are all fishermen, we don't have any social security, how can we live when we get old when we leave the town?"
Canada's social security system is very advanced, which is famous all over the world, but no matter how advanced it is, it is the same as other countries, and people who do not pay taxes do not have pensions and pensions. Instead, it relied on a kind of mutual fund in the town, which was something led by the rich people in the town, and it would be gone if you left the town.
In this way, if the fishermen go to the urban community and leave the farewell town, it is really unthinkable that they will live in old age in the future.
The townsfolk became agitated and began to count the bad things that might happen to them if they left Farewell Town, which of course did not think of the good things, and the more they discussed the bad things, the more they came to the conclusion that they would not be able to leave the town at all.
Little Houston was active again. Without a baseball bat, he snatched a stick-throwing stick from his buddy and waved it to the Dow Chemical employees to get out of the way, or he was ready to be beaten.
The employees looked bad at first. They had already provoked the anger of the townspeople, who rushed to get into the minibuses, which drove to the town's docks. You need to get on a ferry to leave, and it's not yet time for the ferry to leave.
Haney found the driver of the ferry. Tell him that no one will leave the island today, just let him drive the boat and take the minibus with him now. They're about to block the docks.
As soon as he heard this, Qin Shiou knew that Hamley had called Hani, and it seemed that this political ally was still very reliable.
The ferry boat left, Hani instructed the fishermen to drive all the boats on the island, and Qin Shiou also transferred his boat to the public dock, blocking the position of the dock, so that the boat could not dock in the future.
Qin Shiou now has the most ships, the Farewell and the Harvest are not small boats, he also has four Sea Fists, and now he doesn't use the Sea Fist to prevent fish theft, so he sent them together.
Watching the boats of all sizes block the docks, he took a deep breath and shouted to the busy townspeople, "OK, everyone, it's time for us to stand up to the government!" Defend your hometown! Chemical plants must not be allowed to ruin our homeland! ”
The townsfolk shouted, "Defend your hometown!" Boycott chemical plants! ”
After more than two hours of busyness, the townspeople gradually dissipated, Qin Shiou shouted the black knife to come, so that he didn't have to watch the fishing ground, and led the fishermen to guard the wharf, on duty 24 hours a day, and did not allow the boats of the chemical plant to dock.
The confrontation has officially begun.
Black Knife asked, "What if they insist on coming up?" ”
"Then use your guns to drive them away!" Qin Shiou said sharply.
The black knife saluted and said sternly: "Obey, sir!" ”
Qin Shiou went to find Hani, who was frowning sadly, and shook his head after seeing him: "I'm really worried that there will be chaos, what if the people of the Tao family also come to be hard?" ”
At this time, you can see the gap between the leaders, although Hamlet always puts on the demeanor of a British nobleman, but he is not afraid of things, if he is here, then he will definitely say to Qin Shiou that the people of the Tao family are the most fun and hard.
Hard-hitting, they are not afraid of anyone, unless Dow can move the army. However, if the Canadian military were to be sent to suppress civilians, it would be troublesome, and it would be possible to cause a big stir in international public opinion.
Hani is afraid that Dow Chemical will go through legal channels to fight with them, but Qin Shiou has decided to play the scoundrel to the end, because there is a precedent for similar things in Canada, before a town in British Columbia refused the government to build a garbage treatment plant on the edge of the town, and then confronted the police who came to mediate with guns.
Not to mention the Nevada state of the United States next door, which just experienced the "Last Farmer" incident last year, and the aftermath has not yet stopped.
The "Last Farmer" incident refers to the fact that in April last year, under the orders of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. National Park Service, the Nevada State Police used nine helicopters and 200 police and snipers to violently clear the "Last Farmer" Clayfin Bundy, intending to confiscate a total of more than 900 cattle from his grazing.
The reason for this was that the farmer had refused to buy a grazing license since 1990 - in the western United States, nomads grazing on federal land were required to pay regular grazing fees to the government in exchange for grazing permits.
Bundy claimed that the 600,000 acres of farm had been inherited since 1870, when there was no federal land office, so he did not have to pay a fee. The federal government said that according to the law, Bundy owed 1.1 million, and after 20 years of controversy, it finally decided to clear the field by force last year.
As a result, after the violent conflict began, Clayfin Bundy, with the attention and support of large-scale public opinion, gathered a group of cowboys armed with weapons and flags to surround the US police camp.
In the end, the U.S. federal government relented and ordered the clearance to be carried out by the sheriff and the rancher Bundy, and the clearance and seizure operation were terminated, and the police returned the confiscated cattle to the farmer.
Completely resigned, the formalities are over, it's time to go back to my hometown to accompany my father and mother to exercise, it's really broken, it's very sentimental, where has the time gone, why is it so fast? (To be continued......)
