Chapter 970: Method
"The problem in the west is a bit serious......," Nomira said on the phone, reporting to Durin on the phone, and her words were alarmist, but they were also true.
Without Du Lin intervening, there were more and more contradictions between the immigrant laborers and the local laborers of the empire, and the high-profile lawsuits were still dragging on, and there was no conclusion that there was a fights between the two groups from time to time, and the social order in the west also deteriorated to a certain extent.
The state government hopes that the conflict between the two groups can be resolved peacefully and amicably as soon as possible, and has reported these problems to the cabinet, which they cannot solve on their own, so they can only hope that the cabinet will come up with an effective solution.
The Cabinet's attention is not on the big deal in the west, but on the peace talks with the Federation, and as for the matter in the west, the governments of the western states should be committed to solving it on their own, and not always thinking about wasting energy on the Cabinet's side.
"The last trial will be held in a few days, and I heard that both sides are secretly in tandem, and I am very worried that once the result of the trial comes out, if both parties are satisfied, something big may happen!"
Durin listened patiently and then muttered for a moment, telling her not to worry about these problems.
In fact, the problems between migrant workers and local workers have not completely exploded, and they have a huge destructive force, and the cabinet will not pay attention to these problems. It is only after something has happened that the cabinet will pay attention to it, and Doolin will be able to have more room to operate.
The immigrants were a nascent ethnic group for the Empire, and unlike minorities such as the Guerts and the Provincial Yas, the Empire was also a strange place and not so friendly to them. Before both sides have fought to see the blood, Duhrin will not bring him any benefit, let alone any positive influence, only if something happens and it is a big thing, can he show Durin's ability and gain the necessary goodwill.
After hanging up the phone, Durin returned to his study, and Maggs looked up and began to look through the papers again, not intending to ask him anything.
After returning from Otis City, Maggs briefly said that it was not a wise choice for Durin to donate his assets to the town hall in a high-profile manner, and that it was very likely to produce a series of wrong social judgments. For example, a group of conspiracy theorists in the most mainstream public opinion today may speculate whether Doolin was forced to donate his assets to the city hall in exchange for the promise of his own life.
It's not impossible, and it's very marketable, in the minds of conspiracy theorists, the rulers of the country will always be dirty and despicable villains, every decision is a move with a selfish purpose, for them the country will always be black, occasionally a white thing will appear, and it will quickly be drowned out by black.
This kind of argument can make the imperial system very passive, and although most people have become accustomed to it over the years, it is still not a good thing.
Durin laughed at this, asking for money in my pocket and not allowing me to give you money in a high-profile manner, what is the difference between this and playing hooligan?
This also made the two of them talk a lot less than before in the past two days, and they are all having a headache.
While the two men maintained a certain degree of cold war, the problems facing the west were rapidly fermenting, spreading at a terrible rate within the two groups.
"These Imperials won't give us justice, their attitude determines everything, and lo and behold, those bastards will definitely be spared, but our hurt family members will be severely punished!", a young man from a small country was promoting his opinion, and many people were watching, some of them even nodded their heads.
He was surrounded by so many people who recognized his remarks, and he was always in a state of excitement, and the arson case brought together an otherwise loose immigrant community for the first time, something that the arsonists probably hadn't thought about either. A small act of revenge on their part can have even more far-reaching implications, uniting loose immigrants.
Now, some of the few immigrants have a clear understanding that when this group becomes united, then someone will inevitably come out of it. Even when a group of animals come together, there will be the one who will take the lead, let alone a more capable and intelligent human? As long as you can stand out now, you may not become a human in the future.
The class division of society is always a few 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 instinct tells them that they must make things bigger. The matter has gained more attention, and if the Imperial Government wants to solve these problems, it will definitely talk to them.
But there are so many immigrants, it's impossible to talk to everyone about how to solve these things, so what to do?
Quite simply, talk to a small number of people who can represent more people, and when the matter is settled, and the influence of these minorities is determined, they will become the first middle and upper class people to stand out from the immigrant group, and enjoy more and better treatment.
The young man's excitement grew at the thought of a glorious tomorrow looming, his face flushed and his arms waving about his absurd theories of partiality, which sparked anger, even hatred, among most immigrants.
This is not the only thing happening in this one place, but in many places in many settlements of migrant workers.
On July 16, at the end of the last trial, the judge and the jury made a joint decision to do nothing more than fine and community labor for the workers who set the fire, but instead the immigrants who had been beaten and killed others were given relatively heavy punishments.
Of these migrant workers, three were sentenced the heaviest.
The first is the man who shouted revenge slogans to take revenge on these arsonists, because his actions created a state of insanity among the subsequent participants, or it can be said that his actions for revenge directly caused terrible consequences, so he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
The second was the guy who went to a nearby factory for others to call for more immigrants to come back and join the brawl because he spontaneously spread the word that a fight that might not have had serious consequences turned into a unilateral act of abusive revenge, so the guy was sentenced to six years.
The third was in this unilateral act of retaliation, the first person to strike the first punch, if he hadn't done it at the time, there was a certain chance that the next fight might have been avoided, so he needed to take on more responsibility for the others, and was sentenced to ten years.
Most of the other participants served between six months and three years in prison, and in addition to imprisonment, they would be permanently deported, and when they did, they would be sent out of the Empire.
The verdict immediately sparked a great deal of resentment among the immigrant community, who believed that the culprits were not the immigrants who acted impulsively for their homeland, but the arsonists. If it weren't for their impulse to set fires to satisfy their selfish desires, none of the things that would have happened would have happened.
In addition to finding a new lawyer to continue protesting the final outcome and appealing to the Supreme Court of the Reich, the immigration side is also contacting more people who can help.
But there is a small group of people who clearly think differently and intend to resolve their current differences by other, more radical means.
"Bloodshed may not solve the problem, but it can show our determination to solve the problem!"
On 19 July, three days after the final trial, a large-scale clash broke out in the west, with many migrants, bewitched by a very small number of people, storming the workers' union and smashing entire buildings. The working class then stepped forward and fought back against the revolting migrants, which lasted two days and was known as the "two-day riots", resulting in the death of 61 people and the wounding of hundreds.
And this incident has indeed drawn the cabinet's attention back to China from negotiations.
"Why didn't anyone realize these things were happening before these tragedies?", Maggs slapped the table in a rare cabinet meeting, he has always given people the impression of being a very elegant and easy-going person, and he can hardly see his tantrums, which is enough to show how angry he is now.
He threw a document in his hand into the middle of the table, and tapped the table with his knuckles to make a bangbang sound, "Look, gentlemen, ninety-three people died, and this is nearly ten years...... No, the deadliest civil conflict in two decades, and it concerns a very special group of immigrants. Only sixty-one people died in the publicity, but in fact, some seriously injured patients went to see their respective religious bosses not long after they were sent to the hospital, and these people were not counted in the first batch of deaths, so as to avoid making things more terrifying.
If Maggs knew that the death toll was just over a hundred as he spoke, it would have been more than just slapping the table.
"There are no early warning alerts, no countermeasures, no effective means to solve these troubles, and the judge in charge of the final judgment has a problem in his head, why is your Ministry of Justice still letting him sit in the judge's seat?"
"Who is dereliction of duty, who gave them the power to put them in this position? Find these people, throw them out, put this thing to rest. ”
"Gentlemen, the whole world is now watching this matter, if it is not handled well, you will be even more unlucky than me, please believe me!"
