Chapter 695: Placement

With the official voice of the Empire, there were some reversals in some things, the most notable being the issue of those slaves.

The Cabinet listened to Otto's proposal and finally decided to adopt this shameless approach of DΓΌhrin and reverse the disadvantage of the Reich in international public opinion. Although some bigwigs felt that this was a bit shameful, the cabinet approved the reversal of black and white with the full impetus of Maggs and the foreign minister. Soon a large number of reporters poured into the west, where they saw a lot of clean and tidy camps.

Not all of the refugees were willing to go back to the damn mines, and many more refugees, having received subsidies from their mine owners, were temporarily at the mercy of the state government and camped on the outskirts of some cities for more concrete resettlement. For those who were willing to cooperate, they were placed around a capital like Van Lier, they were in better spirits, they were very cleanly dressed, and most importantly, they could speak beautiful words, which were suitable for exposing issues that needed to be exposed.

These people have evolved directly from slaves and refugees to noble professions such as actors, and in the face of numerous journalists and flashing magnesium lights, they tearfully accuse the whole society of their country.

"I was asked if I wanted to go back to my country in the face of some persecution, and my answer was no. I would rather die in this land than return to my country, where I can die at any time and wherever I want. And on the contrary, I can fill my stomach here, and I don't need to think about how I can get a mouthful of food that will sustain my life, as I have done in the past, and I don't need to crawl at the feet of those tyrants and beg for a bite of food. ”

"In the Bright Star Empire, even if they treat me in the most cruel way that people say they say, I still feel happier here than in my homeland. ”

"Today, I am free again, and I thank the Cabinet of the Shining Star Empire, Mr. Doolin, Mr. Amon, and you friendly journalists. If someone asks me if I want to go back now, I have to tell him that I won't go if I am killed. Living in such a happy country, you may not be able to imagine the cruelty of the tyrant, but it may be that the color of your clothes makes the tyrant feel out of place in the surroundings, and he will order his soldiers to shoot you. ”

"It's also possible that if you speak too loudly and make him feel that you don't respect him, he will have your tongue cut out. ”

"In my homeland, people face so many dangers every day, because you don't know when and for what reason the tyrants will bring you back to heaven. But here, in this rich and civilized country, I finally felt the humanistic care and warmth that I should feel as a human being and integrate into society. Lo and behold, this is our food now, in addition to a piece of beef, there are some plant leaves and meal packets, which in my country only the big guys can eat......"

Not far from the man who lived so miserably under a tyrant that he felt that being a slave of the empire was much happier than being a commoner under a tyrant, another refugee was talking to reporters about his feelings.

"I've never seen such a peaceful country, I'm not showing what I've been through in a sarcastic way, I'm telling you the truth, I've never seen such a peaceful country. In my hometown, many people may only have 16 years in their lives, and I wonder if every boy, when he reaches the age of sixteen, will be taken by the village and sent to fight a dishonorable war. Until now we don't know why there is a war, why it never ends, we don't even know who is fighting and who is fighting us!"

"Sometimes there are problems in the war on the front line, such as the loss of the line of defense and so on, and then the children of fourteen and fifteen have to go to the battlefield and fight a group of children of their age until one side withdraws. In such an environment, only three or five out of a hundred men often survive to adulthood, and most of these people are children of aristocratic families. ”

"Here, I would like to thank the smuggling organizations that bought and sold human beings, and they saved me from the sea of suffering. I'm twenty-two years old, and they let me live six more years. No matter what happened to me in those six years, I don't mind if my life is good enough. Because I have a grateful heart, at least I'm alive and able to stand here and tell you something you don't know. ”

"What...... Abuse? No, no, no, it wasn't abuse to me, a kind mine owner paid me in and gave me a job where I could eat, and I was happy even though it was hard. Mining makes me happy, living makes me happy, and I don't hate anyone, I thank them instead. Saying that, the young man took off his shirt to reveal his strong body, and he patted his arm, "You who have not experienced endless wars, it is difficult to feel that I am satisfied with life now!"

Journalists from the empire, reporters from all over the world, watched like fools with their mouths open as these refugees who came out of the mines, maybe only a week, and who were once called slaves. The purpose of these reporters is to break the big news, to announce the cruelty of the Shining Star Empire to the whole world by interviewing these abused and unfair slaves, and to tell everyone that this is a country with morally degraded and broken human morals.

But...... Why is it not the same as imagined?

It doesn't matter if the journalists belong to the empire, they are all political tasks anyway, and each newspaper has a clear idea of how to put itself in the right place in this successive report. This is not a good time to sensationalize and gain attention, and anyone who destroys the current inexplicable situation is likely to end badly. Not only is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs talking, but the Cabinet is talking, and even some gang members are telling the newspaper operators to take care of the reporters' pens and the daily reports, otherwise they will die just a few pieces of paper as they appear on the staff list.

"Here comes Mr. Doolin......"

I don't know who shouted in the distance, and more and more people shouted, whether it was reporters or refugees, they all began to walk in the direction where Durin was. With the Cabinet agreeing to pilot the General Resettlement Act in the West, Doolin has become a one-man man. He personally called Maggs and told him about it for about twenty minutes before he got the matter into his own hands. For Maggs, there are people who are willing to contribute money and efforts to help the cabinet solve this matter as soon as possible, even if it is wrong, there is no official responsibility, and there is a lot of prestige from it, so why not let Durin give it a try?

For Doolin, these people will be important pawns for him to firmly control the west, and even if there is some effort, it will be worth it. More importantly, he had to show his usefulness to the Empire and to the Cabinet, so that Magus and the Cabinet would not come to him for trouble.

Dressed in a neat suit, Durin walked under the protection of several guards, waving and nodding and greeting those around him, whether or not the refugees really wanted to say the lines that they knew had a script at first glance, at least their recognition and gratitude to Durin were genuine. If it hadn't been for Doolin's operation, maybe they would still be mining desperately in the mines.

Reporters rushed over, shouting questions they wanted to ask, trying to find something unusual from Doolin. Duhrin ignored these people, now there are not only journalists from the Empire, but also journalists from other countries in the world, and any of them that may be of a position may hurt the fragile dignity of some countries, so he does not express any opinion.

When the crowd was quiet for a while, Durin walked to a platform and said loudly in front of so many refugees and so many reporters: "This morning, the Cabinet decided to appoint the state governments of the three states and myself to deal with the resettlement of everyone, which is my honor and a test for me. Du Lin smiled and sighed, "If you have a good idea, or if you need my cooperation, please be sure to tell me." ”

"For reasons such as respecting your different religious beliefs and lifestyles, we are temporarily building three towns in the west to accommodate the 537,000 people who are currently registered. At the same time, the state governments of the three states will provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure the most basic living conditions, and there will be a series of preferential policies for consortiums, enterprises and individuals who are willing to invest in infrastructure in the three new towns. ”

"In addition, according to the ideas and proposals put forward by the Cabinet, and in accordance with the provisions of the General Resettlement Act, from this date all refugees will be granted temporary Imperial citizenship, enjoying the same rights and obligations as Imperial citizens. Temporary Imperial Citizenship will automatically convert into permanent Imperial Citizenship after three cycles. I would like to remind you that we calculate on a yearly basis, and in any one of those cycles, if one of you leaves the Empire for more than sixty days, you will forever lose the citizenship of the Empire. ”

"Similarly, if someone violates the laws of the place where you live within three cycles, and is found guilty by a court of law, not only will you lose your citizenship of the Empire forever, but you will also be expelled from the Empire. ”

"Once you have been granted full permanent imperial citizenship, you will no longer be affected by the above two restrictions......"

Someone finally said something human, which is the same feeling of all reporters at this time.
