The people on board were still discussing the tragedy they had just seen, some dancing to express their anger, others despairing of the gloomy prospects—Carlin had become like this, and would he ever be able to return to his homeland in his lifetime after leaving for the New World?

Samuel, Toft, and Scheer and other high-ranking members of the fleet saw the incident more clearly.

"Doug Maiser has gone a little too far," Schell commented.

Some excesses are really quite a euphemism.

"Doug is a typical militarist, who only thinks from a military point of view, and does not consider the impact of the action in other ways. Samuel commented. "For him, he was supposed to be ordered to destroy the refugee camp and, most likely, was authorized to use weapons, so he naturally chose the easiest way"

The easiest way to do this is to solve the problem if you can't solve it, then solve the person who created it

Doug is actually an alumnus of Samuel, he is two years older than Samuel, so he is two years older, Samuel was already a celebrity in the school when he entered the school, and his reputation for militarism was also left at that time. But there is no way, although Doug's style has caused a lot of trouble, but he comes from a family of generals, and his family can help him settle all his troubles, which is a convenience that Samuel does not have.

"But strictly speaking, Karenta can't take in millions of homeless people, and it's a good idea to deter them from going elsewhere with this bloody operation before most of them come to Karenta," Toft commented.

"Where can they be rerouted? Not a single state in the whole of Carlin wants to accept them. Samuel shook his head.

"So they shouldn't have disbanded the Public Utilities Agency at all!" Schell expressed dissatisfaction with the authorities' decision.

Both the Public Service Promotion Agency and the Relief Administration are the work of the former Chancellor, Earl Hardenberg. The former mainly raised funds through bonds to build large public works such as roads and bridges, so as to provide enough jobs for the unemployed. The latter was built into the soup kitchens that are now all over Carlin.

However, there have been accusations in the Imperial Diet that the public works of the Public Works Promotion Agency have no economic value and are simply extravagant and wasteful. There is even a joke that Count Hardenberg's job was to hire a group of men to move the bricks from the left to the right, and then another group to move the bricks back from the right to the left, and then pay the two men.

In response to such accusations, Hardenberg argued that public works are not necessarily economical, but that the value of providing jobs in times of depression is incalculable.

Unfortunately, the defense was not effective, and in the dissatisfaction of the parliamentarians, Hardenberg finally resigned. The Public Utilities Promotion Agency was disbanded. A large number of public works have become unfinished projects, the jobs they provide have disappeared, and more and more people have become unemployed, and finally become homeless.

By the time the Carlin authorities felt something was not right, the Wanderers had already swept across the country, and it was too late to rebuild the Public Utilities Agency.

Samuel suddenly remembered a crucial question.

"Who is the director of the air traffic control bureau now?" Samuel asked, Carlin had just undergone a large-scale personnel change in the past few months, and Samuel couldn't remember all the details, and he couldn't remember who the director of the air traffic control bureau was.

"Uh...... I think it's like it's called Jon Nadal."

Samuel searched his mind for the name Jon Nadal. Finally, I finally found the relevant record from a corner of my memory:

Jon's story could definitely be included as an inspirational story in any success textbook. He is a talented person in his own right, but he has not been reused in the Air Force for many years, but he has never given up and worked hard every day to improve his business ability. Finally waiting for the opportunity, it was a very dangerous emergency, Jon relied on his years of honed business skills to successfully resolve the crisis, and then was reused by his superiors, and then climbed step by step, climbing to the position he is today.

But Samuel, who once held a high position in the Air Force, knew that the story was pure nonsense. The true story is:

Jon was so proud of his talent that he was unwilling to bow to the rotten officialdom that he was dissatisfied with his previous bosses, so he spent 20 years finally opening up, and then gave his beautiful daughter to a big man as a lover. Since then, he has risen step by step to where he is today. And the name of that big man was Tiberius Julius, the younger brother of the present Emperor Carlin. This is an unremarkable prince, who has not been interested in politics since he was a child, and has little talent for business. In the eyes of many, the prince spent most of his time painting and music, and was still a little successful, and perhaps in many years, there will be another name of a member of the royal family in the history of art.

"Tiberius Julius," Samuel repeated the name, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and many things that had been unclear before now made sense. But he didn't feel any excitement, only a chill.

He hurriedly asked Toft and Sher, "Do you have any family members left in Carlin, and if so, arrange for them to leave!"

Toft and Scheer were puzzled when they saw Samuel's suddenly nervous tone, but shook their heads and said no.

Samuel breathed a sigh of relief, stared at them with burning eyes, and said, "Carlin, it may be about to change"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The head of the air traffic control department, Jon Nadal, has absconded.

The news upset Kalin's current emperor, Garba Julius. He was upset with Doug Mercer's excesses, but that resentment turned into unease when he learned that his order to establish a temporary no-fly zone had not been carried out by Jon Nadal. At the time of the massacre at the camp of the Wanderers, at least a dozen floating boats passed by and witnessed the horrific tragedy.

Just as he prepares to hold Jon accountable, he receives the news that Jon has absconded. This made him realize that Jon's failure to carry out the order to establish a no-fly zone was most likely not negligent but intentional, and combined with something that had happened recently, he felt a chill down his spine.

In fact, even if a no-fly zone is established, it is difficult to block the news of such a large-scale massacre. But he didn't look for a reason in himself, and felt that his actions of mobilizing the 2nd Panzer Division to expel the wanderers were beyond reproach - since Karenta couldn't take in so many wanderers, was there anything wrong with using a bloody operation to expel a small group of wanderers to have a deterrent effect before the wanderer army had fully arrived?

It's a pity that there aren't too many people who think so.

In just a few days, the people of Karenta learned of the tragedy that had taken place in the wilderness not far from them. But no newspaper dared to report on the incident, and the entire journalism industry was in full swing. It was a terrible calm, and beneath the surface of the calm, a monstrous rage was brewing.

Yes, Kalenta is one of the most prosperous cities in Carlin, but that doesn't mean everyone can enjoy it, and in fact the lives of the Grey Ridge visitors, who make up more than half of the population, are mostly very bad, and even more precarious since the start of the depression. Never formally accepted into Karenta, they tend to see themselves as the same kind as those poor wanderers: maybe one day, I will lose my job and become a wanderer. Maybe one day, my family will suddenly get sick and use up all their meager savings. At that time, I had to pack my belongings and wander around with my family, trying to find a job to support my family......

A few days later, a large number of rumors began to appear in Kalenta, including the lavish lives of the emperor and nobles, and the inside story of the dissolution of the Public Service Promotion Agency:

The completion of the Public Utilities Agency's Lesler Airport occupied a piece of land that the Emperor wanted to use to build a manor for his mistress, which caused the Emperor's great displeasure and eventually led to the fall of former Prime Minister Hardenberg and the dissolution of the Public Utilities Agency.

Even the recent reduction in the appropriations of the General Relief Administration was the work of the Emperor: the General Relief Administration bought a large amount of grain at a price below the market price, which infringed on the interests of the family of the emperor's mistress, so that the emperor began to be ruthless against the general relief department under the pillow wind of the mistress.

In fact, in the eyes of insiders, these rumors are simply nonsense, if the emperor wants to build a manor, then the airport is already stillborn in the planning stage, how can it be completed? So it is nonsense to cut the funding of the General Relief Administration because of the pillow wind.

It's a pity that those bitter people who live at the bottom of the society don't have the insight and experience needed to see through the rumors, and they are willing to believe the truth of these rumors from the bottom of their hearts, who are already extremely dissatisfied with the emperor.

Garba, you like to live in luxury, but we also have wives and children, we don't seek glory and wealth, just a business to support our families, so that we can slowly save some savings and live this ordinary life. But why can't even such a request be met? Wanderers just want to find a place to live through the winter, why are they treated like this by the army?!

Why? Why?!

If the anger of the past was still hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake, by the time of the second week, this anger was no longer hidden, and the signs of riot were already showing in Karenta. The capital's police presence was no longer sufficient to suppress the insurgency, and Garba began to draw troops from nearby provinces to defend the capital.

But not long after he gave the order, he received a piece of information that sent chills down his spine.

"What?!You said that the 35th Army left the garrison without my permission?!"

In fact, not only the 35th Army, but also 3 of the 7 armies stationed in Carlin, and 2 of the 5 fleets, had left their positions a day earlier, and Galba had only now received this information.

Two days earlier, the three commanders and the two fleet commanders had received a top-secret letter from a secret source, and the letter was addressed to Tiberius Julius.
