Office of the Führer.

Although it is on the run, in the space island where the use of space is almost extreme, it is still spacious, tidy, and as quiet as ever. The supreme leader of mankind, who leads trillions of people and determines the future direction of entire civilization, is based here.

But there seems to be something unusual about today's Führer. Sitting behind his desk, the Führer looked at a report in front of him, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was fear or anger.

"Is it really that bad?" The Führer muttered, "This...... That's less than two years...... Has our human civilization degenerated to such a point? ”

Every word on that report was so shocking in the eyes of the Führer, and the data was like a knife, piercing the Führer's heart. The Führer could not believe the data, but each of them had well-documented arguments and a well-developed statistical process, which made the Führer have to believe them.

"It is estimated that the total number of members of the pirate group has exceeded 10 million, with more than 30,000 ships of various types, and it can produce more than 10,000 tons of drugs and more than 1 million guns of various types every month......

After this data, there is a rest of the prohibited categories, which are divided into dozens of items, each of which is strictly prohibited by law.

And all these things have been dumped into human civilization through various channels. The various resources of the fugitive fleet continue to flow to the pirate group.

To know...... This is on the run. Although the fugitive fleet can now flee at ten times the speed of light, it usually only takes half a year at most to reach a star system, but ...... Not every galaxy is suitable for resupply. Even if they encounter a galaxy suitable for replenishment, human civilization will not be able to stay there for long, and the supply that can be carried out is really limited.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the material reserves of the fugitive fleet are non-renewable. Human civilization is counting on these reserves to sail a distance of at least a thousand light-years, and this will take at least a hundred years. No one can predict how many accidents will happen during such a long journey. They were originally the lifesaver of human civilization and the foundation of people's survival, but now, they have been squandered by a very small number of pirate groups.

But that's not the most important thing. The area where the pirate syndicates have the greatest influence on the fugitive fleet is the disruption of order. With the covert support of these forces, countless **** organizations have sprung up in each space island of the fugitive fleet, with as little as a dozen people and as many as hundreds of thousands of people, who wantonly co-opt and corrupt the original defenders of order, turning their original opponents into their own protective umbrellas, and under the cover of these umbrellas, their actions are becoming more and more rampant.

It was precisely because of the existence of the umbrella that their deal with the pirate group could go so smoothly. In fact, there are many underworld forces that were directly controlled by pirate groups. They became the link between the pirate syndicate and high-ranking government officials, who provided cover for the pirate syndicate, and the pirate syndicate contributed a great deal of wealth.

And the scarcity of materials provides a hotbed for the birth of underworld forces. With high unemployment and limited food and other supplies rationed by the government, many young people who should have been educated in schools or working in various enterprises have joined the underworld.

If you join the underworld forces, you will have a lot of money, and if you don't join, you will starve and be bullied by others all day long...... So, to join or not to join?

The Führer's hand was still trembling slightly, and for the first time the Führer found that the development of civilization had escaped his control. Otherwise, why did I find out so late that the situation had become so bad?

In fact, the Führer knew about the existence of the pirate group for a long time, but the reports submitted by his subordinates were always understated, and he only handed over the matter of exterminating pirates to the military and did not pay too much attention to it.

Had it not been for the fact that the matter had become impossible to conceal, the Führer would have reason to believe that this report would not have been presented to him even now. At the same time, this also means that the ruling foundation of human civilization has been seriously corroded, and the military system and government system have become no longer reliable.

So what to do? Things have come to the point where the eradication of pirates is a must, but it's not that simple. Pirates are easy to kill, but how do you prevent new ones from reappearing?

Without sufficient supplies and jobs, society will fall into turmoil, underworld forces, and pirate groups will be born. The birth of these two things, in turn, will further exacerbate social unrest, causing the situation to deteriorate again, and so on to form a vicious circle.

Unless the problem of material supply as well as unemployment is solved. If there is food to eat and work to occupy people's energy, society will quickly settle down. But these two things are missing from the fugitive fleet.

It's a dead knot. This dead knot is like a noose around the neck of human civilization.

The Führer, as well as the Führer's team of thinkers, did not fail to anticipate such a scenario, but they all miscalculated the timing. Before the start of the flight, the Führer's assessment report from the social investigation agency and the think tank team was that such a situation would not occur until at least fifty years after the flight had taken place, and that it would have to be extremely rare if there had been no supplies for a long time. Who would have thought that the situation would deteriorate so quickly, less than two years after the start of the escape...... It's already become like this?

The report in the Führer's possession also marked the sentence at the end: "If the situation continues to deteriorate, our human civilization will completely collapse within fifty years." ”

The Führer closed his eyes, leaned his body back in a broad, comfortable chair, and took a deep breath.

There was silence for a long time before the Führer opened his eyes and picked up another report.

The report was provided to him by the Führer's team of think tanks and contains a number of recommendations on the current situation.

"The first solution is to establish a military government, carry out personality cult propaganda, and promote the pirate group as the main culprit of all this, and mobilize the people to fight a national war in order to deflect the internal contradictions of civilization. Note: Under the propaganda offensive, the populace will quickly become fanatical and extremely supportive of the leader, but at the same time, a large-scale purge of civilization will be required, and all opponents, gangsters, and even suspected gangsters will need to be eliminated from society. Even if there are no more such people in society, we need to artificially create some hostile people to attract the hatred of the people.

The same goes for interstellar pirates. In the case of all the soldiers, the interstellar pirates will inevitably be wiped out quickly, but we cannot easily exterminate the pirates, because then we will lose the target of hatred, and without the target of hatred, sooner or later the civilization will be in turmoil again.

This plan has many negative effects, such as the complete collapse of science and technology, culture and education, the concept of order, and the concept of morality, but this plan can at least ensure the continuation of our civilization and peace for more than 50 years.

The second solution is to take the initiative to split. After the latest calculations, we have determined that, with our current material reserves, if we are to ensure social stability and maintain the standard of living of 70 percent of the pre-flight population, and to maintain it for more than 50 years, our population should be reduced to three-tenths of the current population, that is, about 500 billion people.

First of all, we should be sure that civilizations like us, which are accustomed to the abundance of materials in the galaxy and rely on a large population base as the cornerstone of development, are not suitable to be interstellar wandering civilizations. The total population of an interstellar wandering civilization is certainly not too high - of course, this is relative to the civilization's level of technological development. According to our current level of technological development, if we want to become a wandering civilization, the suitable number of people is three-tenths of the current number.

Based on this, we believe that we can select 3 out of 10 of the quality of the population, abandon the remaining 7 out of 10 and embark on a wandering journey alone. Note: If this plan is implemented, at least 90% of the space islands and supplies will need to be taken away by the three-tenths of the high-quality population who are actively split, so that there will be sufficient supplies and jobs to provide. The remaining seven-tenths of the population will be concentrated in the remaining space islands, and they ...... Life and death are fate.

It should be noted that the implementation of this programme will inevitably lead to large-scale social unrest and bloodshed.

The third solution is to wait and see what happens. The government should strengthen its military control, maintain the combat effectiveness and purity of the army, and at the same time ensure the survival of the high-quality population and the security of space islands and stockpiles, and take a resigned attitude to the rest of the population, allowing them to riot, conflict, or secretly provoke riots and conflicts. When the population naturally decayed to three-tenths of the current population due to unrest, the government stepped in to quell the riots and restore order. Re-establishing order should follow the principle of a total purge, requiring the removal of all insecurity elements from the previous process, and then placing all blame for the turmoil of civilization on them. In this way, we have maintained the image of the government and achieved the goal of reducing the population.

The specific implementation process and key points of the above three plans are attached, if necessary, please refer to them. (To be continued.) )
