Chapter 68: Zero Tolerance
The more uncivilized the people, the easier it is to be agitated, and the more brutal the means of agitation, the stronger the effect.
At the instigation of Tuag, the locals of Utan Prefecture began to smash and loot against the Chinese.
After the wave of riots, the police force in Utan Prefecture is obviously insufficient.
The factories invested by the Great Xia Department are patrolled by heavily armed security personnel of the Peace Security Company, and they will not be affected too much.
However, many Chinese people opened local shops and supermarkets, but they were inevitably impacted by the local mob, and their shops were looted.
This kind of scene is not lonely in country T.
In history, there have been many lootings against the Chinese in many countries, and every anti-Chinese trend means a round of bloody storms against the Chinese people.
At that time, Huaxia was still very weak and could not afford to protect its citizens overseas, so it could only sit back and watch such things happen one after another.
Of course, there were also many Chinese who were looted because they were foreigners who had long since disidentified themselves as Chinese, and the Chinese government was legally out of control.
This time, because there are nearly 200,000 Chinese in Utan Prefecture, most of whom are Chinese citizens, when they suffered losses, the Chinese government expressed a serious protest and warned Tuag for inciting those people to rebel.
Tuag, of course, will not admit to inciting the local people to smash and loot, and he denied this in an interview with the media:
"Of course we don't encourage this kind of obviously illegal thing, I mean, although those Chinese people have used very shameless means to plunder our resources, but we want to take back everything that belongs to us through civilized and legal means, not that violent method. We are very sorry for what is happening in Utan now. ”
At the same time, he threw the pot to the governor of Utan Prefecture, Ou Ruicheng: "After the incident, I immediately called the governor of Utan Prefecture and asked him if he needed police support, but unfortunately, our district governor thought he could cope with such a thing, and the result is like what you see." ”
To the locals who smashed and looted, Tuag said: "There is no doubt that their actions must have been wrong. But I think they must have been oppressed for too long to be like this, right? I condemn them, but I also sympathize with their plight. ”
Of course, Au would not accept Tuag's suggestion to support the police, so that Tuag's forces would infiltrate, which would only make the situation worse in the future.
In the face of those bloody scenes, Western society did not show the anger of "the police in Utan Prefecture suppressed the protesters", but described it as the roar of the awakened T people against the looters.
In China, many people also scolded their compatriots for "deserving it", and expressed their reverence for the bloodiness of the people of T country, and regretted that the Chinese people did not have such blood.
After more than ten days of smashing and looting, the governor of Utan Prefecture, Ou Ruicheng, declared that Utan Prefecture had entered martial law.
During the martial law period, all smashing and looting activities will be punished with the strictest punishment, and the police have the right to shoot on the spot if they resist the police to enforce the law.
At the same time, the police recruitment in Utan Prefecture has expanded, and thousands of armed policemen with Chinese faces have appeared.
After martial law, thousands of people were arrested and imprisoned in a few days, and there were even violent acts of resistance to the law.
Sometimes reasoning is useless, it has to shed blood. In a few days, dozens of rioters were killed, but after that, there were no more smashing and looting operations against the Chinese.
After the bloodshed, the Western media quarreled even more.
In terms of discourse, the Chinese have no way to fight with the Western media.
It's not just that you can't fight with Westerners all over the world, you can't fight at home.
The same obstruction of police law enforcement happened in the United States, where the police shot and killed, which is called safeguarding the dignity of the judiciary, and it is praised.
What happened in Huaxia was that the police had no humanity, and only a scolding was left.
It happened in Utanzhou, a country controlled by the Chinese, and it was naturally a bloody suppression.
In this regard, the Great Xia Department has not thought about competing with the Western media for the high ground of public opinion, public opinion is such a thing, just listen to it, take it too seriously, it will only play to death.
Utan, which has invested tens of billions of dollars, cannot afford to lose it from its hands.
After suppressing the smashing and looting activities of the locals in the strongest way, the Utan Prefecture court tried the arrested people who participated in the smashing and looting as quickly as possible, and under the watchful eyes of many locals, more than 100 of them were shot, and the rest were sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.
At the same time, a number of factories invested by the Great Xia Department also fired the family members of those involved in the riots, and some employees who promoted such remarks were also fired.
In a word, zero tolerance for all acts of violence.
At the end of this round, tens of thousands of locals were fired from those factories.
The locals were not educated, and could only do the simplest work, which could be replaced by some machines, and did not have much impact on the production of the major factories.
But for those who lost their jobs as a result, they undoubtedly suffered a catastrophe.
Without work, they can only farm, but they have no farming skills, that is, they can barely make ends meet.
Such a fuss is tantamount to returning to the old days of extreme poverty.
Originally, they listened to the instigation of others, believing that the Chinese people had always been cowardly, and if they made such a fuss, they would get greater benefits.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for was unemployment or even death, while those honest people continued to work.
That's a bit of a big gap.
Some people regret it, but they don't have weapons in their hands, and they can't resist those Chinese people.
If you want to continue working, the boss won't accept it, and no matter how much you beg, it's useless.
Many people, when faced with beings weaker than them, can behave as if they were fierce and vicious.
But once they find out that the other party is more fierce than them, they are as honest as lambs.
It's not just the people of T country, in fact, in a certain unspeakable era, the Chinese people who are known as simple and kind are also the same, and even surpassed.
So many people were killed, so many people were severely sentenced, so many people were fired, and all of a sudden, the locals in Utan Prefecture became honest.
The production and transportation of ore, which was delayed during this period, has also returned to normal.
This made Tuag so unhappy that he made a televised speech in which he strongly condemned the treatment of the rioters by the Utan government, even calling it a "massacre".
"This is a crime against the people of country T, this is a declaration of war against the government of country T!" Tuag said at the end of the televised speech: "We love peace, but we are ready for war." ”
