Chapter 14: The Game of Politicians and Businessmen
"Alert whom?"
Several little girls in the room came over, and even some little girls got the news and swarmed into the house, although sometimes what Wood said, they didn't understand it so well, but listening to Wood's speech, they always felt very happy.
"Remind the inhabitants of this place, remind them that they can only obey and be silent forever."
The corners of Wood's mouth hooked, and he dialed several stations one after another: "Did you find that the reports of the parades that were often there some time ago have disappeared?" ”
Reports of the Cursed Sons gathering place and various parades have quietly disappeared, and almost all channels are reporting news about tax increases.
Some self-proclaimed 'experts' are explaining the advantages of high taxes, while others are reporting on how to increase the military power of Osaka City and better deal with antigenic intestinal organisms by raising taxes.
Believe it or not, even if you can see at a glance that it is a fabrication, it is only revealing a message.
This is the decision of those in power, and you cannot refute it.
The media's job is always to report the news, not to fake it, because it is the job of some discursors.
"And the fear of the people is the most preferred way for those in power to take advantage of it."
Wood turned his head to look at the little girls around him, and smiled darkly: "Because fear can make people obey and silent, even if there are many things that can destroy people's reason, but fear can still have the upper hand in the end." ”
"Raising taxes will make residents resentful and talk about the good of other regions, but it will also cause them to fear that they are under siege of the original intestines, and that they will not be able to escape the cage of the giant stone monument of 'Osaka City.'"
"Isn't that just scaring people?"
Xiao Ya raised her fist angrily: "Qi Wu Xuanzong is really a bad person. ”
"He's certainly not a good guy, but he's undoubtedly the best politician in this chaotic world, and he's also one of the people who is most likely to have the last laugh."
Wood patted Xiaoya's head: "And this can't be said to be a scare, it can only be said to be a purely political method, I just said that the fear of the people is what some people like to take advantage of, even in times of peace." ”
"For example, if I am a candidate for the head of state in peacetime, then I will secretly make an incident of contagion or something, kill 18,000 people, raise people's fears, and quietly wait for him to ferment."
"When people are terrified, I will stand up and be their hope and finally solve the incident. Even if it will be seen through by some smart people, but it is only a minority, and most people will think that I am capable and obedient to me. ”
"Of course, normally fear can only be exploited for a while. But in these troubled times, as long as the original intestines exist, these fears will continue to ferment, making everyone choose silence and obedience. ”
"I can think of using taxes to remind the people, this old man is indeed ruthless enough, no wonder he can come to this point."
"Having said all that, isn't he still a bad person?"
Little Irene crouched next to Wood and said with a puzzled expression.
"yes, he's a big badass."
"Brother Wood, why don't we go and beat him up."
“……”
Listening to these little Lori's 'excitement', the corners of Wood's mouth twitched slightly: "...... The bad guys are right, but I've said so much, that's all you're sure of? ”
"Hmm!!"
“……”
Sure enough, high-rise buildings don't happen in a day.
If you want these little girls to mature quickly and let them control the sovereignty by themselves, it will be impossible for five or six years.
I can't stay here forever, and if I want them to live a peaceful life, I still need humans to lead them.
But the candidates......
Wood sighed, not thinking about it.
Because now there are more important things in front of him.
After a month of silence, the sudden start to silence the rhetoric in the city has already been explained...... Qi Wu Xuanzong was not ready to continue to let the Cursed Sons gathering place develop.
There will inevitably be big moves to follow.
Although it was expected, Wood couldn't help but be nervous when the day really came.
Through today's news, Wood also has a certain understanding of Qi Wu Xuanzong, at least this is not a reckless man who knows 'dry' completely regardless of the influence of the outside world, and he should not be bombarded by aircraft and artillery before he feels the crisis......
But secretly, Wood couldn't guess what kind of means he would use.
He is not a politician, but a businessman, and the businessman only needs to understand the buyer's mentality and persuade the buyer to buy the product, instead of thinking about how to dig a pit and bury the buyer, although there are many ways to do this......
"Anna."
Wood beckoned to little Anna in the crowd.
Anna was stunned when she saw this, and then trotted to Wood's side, and asked with some confusion, "Brother Wood, what do you command?" ”
“…… I'm correcting, you don't need to be so polite to me. Looking at Anna, Wood sighed.
Probably because of the relationship between the former owner, little Anna has a sense of humility towards people, although Wood has been correcting, but now it is only from 'Mr. Wood' to 'Brother Wood'.
"How's everyone's combat training?"
Anna's little face suddenly darkened when she heard this, and said in a lost tone: "I'm sorry, Brother Wood, although everyone has basic qualities, they haven't been exposed to any training before, and we don't have any training facilities here, so the effect is not very good." ”
"Well, I'm just asking, I don't have the consciousness to blame you at all, you don't have to apologize to me."
Wood hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that the little girl would be crooked.
He sighed faintly, it was normal that there was no effect, Anna was the only one who taught combat skills, and it was so rudimentary that there was no other training method except for posing.
And these are children, and their playfulness is already very big, and if they want to become combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, they can only be sharpened by going through one battle after another like Anna.
But this method didn't work, because there weren't so many gastrulation creatures in the megalith, and Wood didn't want to do that, because although it would sharpen the little girls, they would also die...... Many, many people.
Time!
Nowadays, what Wood needs most is time, and as long as there is enough time, these cursed children can also have a certain ability to protect themselves under Anna's teaching.
But now there is no doubt that what Wood lacks most is time.
If I'm not mistaken, Osaka will be taking action in the next few days.
Whether or not the Cursed Sons Gathering Place can be built depends on whether they can survive this time.
Businessmen and politicians play an unequal game, and Wood can only win.
Otherwise, everything will be beaten back to square one.
"Qiwu Xuanzong, I hope you can still have a little humanity."
