At the same time as the train incident, the "Voice of the New Era", a radio station affiliated with the Survivor Daily in Settlement No. 1, was inviting Gu Ning, a representative of the settlement, to participate in a talk show in the studio.

Since the storm that surrounded the city hall, this Mr. Gu has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

Some radicals see his actions as a betrayal of "uniting all that can be united", while many conservatives see his actions as a way to preserve the unity of the coalition.

Facing the host's interview, Gu Ning thought for a moment and talked about his opinion.

"There are some comrades in our ranks who have radical views, and they think that they can influence everything and unite everything with love...... Even if it is a group whose values are very different from ours. I don't want to judge them as right or wrong, but I want me to say that this kind of self-righteous thinking is extremely naïve, and that this naivety can lead us to the abyss. ”

I didn't expect the representative to throw out such sharp remarks in such a public occasion, and the host couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, and then continued.

"But the values of the Willant people are also diametrically opposed to ours, why do you think they are more worthy of unity?"

Hearing this, Gu Ning raised his hands with a smile.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, the Willantes, whose values are diametrically opposed to ours, won't join us at all, and they'll spit on us even if they stand on our doorstep."

"And those who choose to join us are, without exception, fed up with evil militarism and colonialism. Not only do they share our values, but their courage and loyalty, as well as a host of good qualities such as faith, will be the strongest shield against our equality. ”

When he said this, his words changed again, and he looked at the host sitting opposite and asked rhetorically.

"Instead, I want to ask you...... Why do you think that the values of the people of Willant must be the opposite of us? Or do you think that people are factory-set machines? ”

Obviously didn't expect him to throw his question back, the host was stunned for two seconds, and his expression gradually became embarrassed.

Realizing his momentary gaffe, he quickly denied it.

"Well, I didn't mean that...... I'm actually talking about the Legion. ”

"I understand," Gu Ning nodded, "stereotypes are not so easy to eliminate, especially when there is a group of 'poor people' standing around you. ”

"And I'm talking about these pathetic-looking guys, I don't want to say victim guilt, but are we the ones who are suffering from them?"

Looking at the host who was speechless for a while, Gu Ning continued unceremoniously.

"To this day, most of the survivors of Golden Gallen Harbor live in watertight houses, and he even uses the subway that we don't have! I know that this is the industry that Baiyue Company invests in, and this is a business activity, but we still can't ignore the fact that to this day there are still many residents of Settlement 1 who live in containers, and they are also people who need to be united! ”

"You might say we don't have that many people and we don't need the subway, but we can always use more and more spacious houses, right?"

"We've helped them so much, and how do they repay us? Splash and roll on civilized people, and slave to barbarians...... Because we are easy to talk to, we are asked to give the green light to all their vexatious demands, and we will tolerate them again and again. ”

"They are just living a good life, and they want to come and teach us how to behave, and they think it's for our good. Gee...... I really can't imagine what kind of face they will have when they get rich, turning over and becoming our father? ”

Looking at Gu Ning, who couldn't hold his mouth, the host hurriedly coughed and stopped him.

"I have to say it's just a small group of people, the vast majority of the people we've helped have been involved in our construction, you have to see the unknown majority."

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Gu Ning snapped his fingers and sat up straight to look at him, "It's good for everyone to keep this small group of ungrateful guys out of the way and make room for more and more deserving of them." ”

The host looked at him hesitantly.

"It sounds so unrealistic, how do we determine who the ungrateful guy is?"

Gu Ning said without hesitation.

"Quite simply, we don't have to be sure, we raise our own standards and enforce them strictly! It would be irresponsible to all citizens of the Alliance to issue an identity card to the other party just because they were a Borneo or a Wielantes. ”

"They have to work first, get educated while working, and then pass the assessment of the relevant institutions! The coalition already has a 'regulated' system, which is good, but it is not enough, we should have a specific regulatory body in place, instead of leaving everything to time. ”

"They have to be clear that the Union is not a pit for them, they have made a mess of their hometown, and they should think about why things are the way they are, not in another place. Since some of the wastelanders are destined to not adapt to the life of civilized people, they go back to their zoo and stay. ”

Host: "Mr. Gu, I have to say that there are many objective reasons for this, and the suffering they have experienced is not entirely caused by themselves, but if it goes back to the problem of the People's Federation period——"

"You're right, but I'm a representative of the citizens of the Union, and I only speak for those I represent." Gu Ning stared at the host and said in a sincere tone, "Listen, we can't wait until the alliance is in a state of difficulty to think about whether the past decisions are appropriate, someone must come out and step on the brakes before it's too late...... Nobody can stop a speeding train instantly, we have to start slowing down before we even make a corner, and then we can determine what speed to use based on the road behind us, you know what I mean? ”

The host nervously touched the bridge of his nose.

"I kind of get it...... You want to say it's time to hit the brakes. ”

Gu Ning leaned back in his chair and continued in a relaxed tone.

"Almost, no one dares to wade into this troubled water, so let me be the brake pad. At least the radicals should not be allowed to keep their foot on the gas. When we become legions or Borneo, it will be too late to hit the brakes. ”

This is almost the end of the interview.

The host was about to wrap up the show when his assistant trotted in and shoved a piece of paper that had just come out of the printer into his hand.

took the piece of paper and glanced at it, the host's face changed slightly, and he straightened the microphone on the table again.

"Breaking news, this radio station has just received information that something has happened to the train from Weifu City to Settlement No. 1, and more than a hundred residents of the settlement are trying to intercept the train...... In the end, two were killed and one was injured. ”

When he said this, the expression on the host's face suddenly became weird.

Because just half a minute ago, the representative sitting in front of him had just given an example with a train.

Is this guy's mouth open?

Gu Ning's face also showed an expression of surprise, obviously not realizing that things would be so coincidental.

He took a sip from the cup on the table, and said with a mouth on his lips for a moment.

"I hope the people in the car are okay...... Also, don't tell me it's a Borneo who stopped the car. ”

The host coughed lightly.

"Mr. Gu, as a representative...... Also pay attention to who you are and what you are speaking about, it doesn't matter who they are. ”

"Nothing, I didn't mean to target anyone, it's just my best wishes, I hope it doesn't end up with them."

He placed the cup on the table, made a contemplative gesture, and spoke after a moment.

"Maybe we should add an extra law to our trains...... It is forbidden to stop cars on the tracks. ”

……

In just a few minutes, the "D97 train incident" spread throughout Settlement No. 1 and Weifu City.

And when it came to the cause of the whole incident, everyone was stunned for a while and couldn't speak.

Just to meet the management of the alliance, the more than 100 survivors actually came up with the operation of stopping the train.

What's even more ridiculous is that the manager they want to see is not on the train at all, but sitting in the waiting hall like other late passengers.

It was more of an absurd farce than an accident.

Especially when the reporters who rushed to the scene of the accident learned that the demands of this group of "car stoppers" were actually the expulsion of the Willant people in Settlement No. 1 and the dissolution of the Union's representative council, even those who sympathized with them showed indescribable expressions.

Aren't these guys getting a little carried away?

Unfortunately, with the exception of Jerami, who seems to have woken up, most of the Brahminas don't realize what they're doing.

When the reporter asked them if they knew that the train could not stop immediately, they tearfully complained about the ferocity of the train and the wounds they had broken out of the crawl.

And when reporters asked them if they realized they had violated the law, their opinions diverged.

Some people jumped up in anger and shouted that they were already so miserable, why should they let the law persecute them. Others pleaded with the cameras, pleading with the people of Settlement 1 to be lenient for the sake of the Borneo for the railway.

In fact, they honestly say "I don't know", maybe they can win some sympathy, at least more meaningful than his sprinkling and rolling around.

However, they did not intend to do so, and the strength to resist the rules when they should have done so was at the opposite end of the spectrum with their meek sheep appearance at home.

The reporters who interviewed them were also shocked by the inability and unreasonableness shown by these people.

In fact, most of the journalists in the League were quite sympathetic to the survivors of Borneo.

On the one hand, because the "Daily Survivor" originated in the "old revolutionary area" of Boulder City, and on the other hand, because a large number of fleeing Moon Clan people actively participated in the construction of the southern region of the alliance, and a large number of media and media workers were born among them.

These journalists have asked questions in their favor, but their performance has made all the radicals who sympathize with and even support them more or less clown.

At the very first moment of the accident, representatives of settlement No. 1 Sukka rushed to the scene.

He was a step slower than the reporters, but not for long.

Looking at his compatriots who were tearfully accusing the congress in front of the camera, and Jerami who was standing in the crowd with a numb expression, he strode forward, grabbed the latter's shoulder, and shouted in a trembling voice.

“…… Are you crazy? Dissolution of the Council...... Why didn't you say that the alliance was dissolved? ”

Jerami turned his head blankly and looked at Suka, the well-mannered young man.

He knew this guy, remembered that he was also from the Moon Clan, and he even knew this person's original surname.

Unlike himself, he was a mixed up, not only did he get Union citizenship early, but he also became an official and became the regional representative of Settlement No. 1......

Hehe.

It's really okay to mix it up.

Jeramy's face gradually regained a trace of blood, and the expression of "all over" turned into hatred in an instant.

He suddenly grabbed Sukka's arm with his backhand, and the back of his hand was bruised, not like he was grasping at the last straw, but like he was going to drag the "bad thing" guy into hell together.

"You traitor...... Why don't you help us? ”

The hand on his arm was like a pincer, but far less painful than the traitor's curse, which made Sukka's heart feel like a pinprick.

His expression contorted, and he broke free of Jeramy's hand and shook off the latter's shoulder.

For the first time, he, who had never lost his temper since becoming a representative, let out a hysterical roar.

"I'm not going to help you? Have I advised you not to be impulsive! I've told you more than once that being in a hurry is only a bad thing, and that everything has to be done step by step...... And what do you guys say about me behind my back? Do you really think that only you can hear what you say? Now I'm here to blame me for not helping you! ”

Jerami didn't seem to hear, his vulture-like eyes staring at Sukka and reaching out to choke his neck.

"You guy...... When you get out of the way, you forget your roots. No one else remembers your name, but I do, Cassidem, don't forget, you're a Lunarian! You are a Brahman! I am your compatriot! I am! ”

The argument between the two finally caught the attention of the guard next to them.

At first, they saw that the man was a representative and didn't want to care about it, but seeing that he was about to fight with the "criminals", they couldn't watch him make a fool of himself in front of the media cameras.

The TV tower in Settlement No. 1 has not yet been built, but Afrigate has its own television station.

I heard that the respected manager was also there, so I couldn't figure it out and watch it from behind the screen.

The exoskeleton-clad guard stepped up and pulled Jerami back into the zone and pulled Sukara out.

The police officer who was handling the case at the scene walked over, stared at Suka, who was disheveled, and said in a warning tone.

"This is the crime scene, Mr. Representative, if you obstruct our law enforcement any longer, I can only ask you to go to the car and talk, or would you prefer to explain to the prosecutor's office?"

He was a Willant, who had served in the Eastern Legion before coming here with the Southern Construction Corps, retiring and moving to the Local Guard Bureau.

Unlike the fellow wastelander in the Guard Bureau, he's been putting up with them for a long time.

There were once people who wanted to kill none of the Willantes, but they used not their mouths, but their guns.

Sukka didn't look at the sheriff who pulled him away, but just looked at the Jerami who was like a beast eager to kill him, and took two steps back.

It was a long, long time before he could hold back a sentence from his mouth.

"My surname is Sue."

Maybe the surname Gu is right, and the time has come for the alliance to do that.

At the very least, they have to make the "regulated" role they have to play......

This is not just for immigrants in Borneo, the coalition needs to raise the bar for identity cards.

Survivors without any background sponsorship, except for trusted survivor forces, must have a full education and undergo regular checks by the relevant agencies before they can obtain full citizenship.

It's time to set up an immigration office.

Whether the old man heard it or not, Sukka haphazardly straightened his collar and fled from the scene in disarray.

……

For three days, the "D97 Train Incident" dominated the headlines of Settlement No. 1 and Acropolis City.

Although some radical journalists selectively downplayed the rhetoric of those who stopped the car, there is more than one newspaper in the coalition, and these newspapers cannot be monopolized by one group of people.

What's more, in addition to those newspapers that are on the right, there are also newspapers run by "Goblin Observer" that "do not look at the occasion and do not look at the air".

Early the morning of the second day after the incident, the survivors of the entire coalition learned that the group of people who stopped the car were Borneos.

This farce not only caused a sensation in Settlement No. 1 and Acroplias, but even flew across the ocean to Port Golden Gallen and even Mammoth City.

A total of 120 people were identified as perpetrators.

Among them were the two who were tragically killed, and the unlucky man who paid the price of a leg.

Of these, 82 are citizens of the Union.

With the exception of Jerami, the organizer, who was sentenced to 100 years in prison, the rest of the participants also started at least 10 years.

According to the noisy distribution and the law does not hold the public accountable in the alliance, the prison in Settlement No. 1 cannot be closed, and there is also a mine in Qingshi County.

What's more, hundreds of people are nothing, when the alliance cracked down outside the boulder city, they caught a whole punishment battalion and went to the front line to walk around, and all the problems were cured.

As for the other 38 people, they are all "supervised", which means that they have not obtained the citizenship of the Union.

After collecting their biometric information, the court issued a decision to send them back to their places of origin.

Of course, this does not mean that they do not have to serve their sentences, but that they are just serving their sentences in a different place.

The coalition has long had extradition treaties with well-connected survivor forces, and this judicial cooperation has been carried out in parallel with economic cooperation.

According to the information provided by labour agents and shipping companies, they will be sent to the port of Golden Gallen, Borneo or Mammoth.

For some Borneos from Saifan Harbor, the prison at Golden Gallen Harbor will take over.

The most outrageous thing about the whole farce is that its actual impact far outweighs the direct economic damage it causes.

Through their unique performance art and portrayal of the radicals, the royalist remnants from the Borneo province succeeded in turning all the radicals who sympathized with the Borneo in the alliance into clowns, and even made some of the alliance members who had been living well suddenly realize that they had made a bit of an overprogress.

The debate between conservatives and radicals is no longer about "shortening or prolonging the period of inspection of the identity of the regulated", but about "establishing a specific regulatory body to implement specific regulatory rules, and whether to implement a points system".

As for the ultra-radicals who called for "the status of the supervised is outdated", they have now shut up and become dumb and stop talking.

In fact, it was not only the radicals within the alliance who were disgraced, but also the authorities of Borneo and Mammoth, who were supported by the former.

This incident is undoubtedly a wake-up call for them.

If the Alliance's public opinion were to turn to the right and squeeze support for the Borneo resistance, it would be disastrous for the Borneo states that had not yet completely freed themselves from their dependence on aid......

In the palace of the ruler of the heavenly capital.

Looking at the report reprinted by the "Survivor Daily" in Port Goldgallen, Absec's nose almost crooked, and he slammed the newspaper on his desk.

"What nonsense!"

He managed to establish a little image of enlightened rule for the Borneos, so that the survivors outside could see that the Borneos could also stand up, but the group of "old guards" who ran out turned their heads and slapped them all.

But to be honest, in addition to the resentment that he hated iron and steel, he was more helpless.

He knows these guys too well.

So is it with those who come out of Lassy's hands, and how can he not be himself?

His appointed education commissioner, Kabaha, is also a knowledgeable person, he writes well, and his ability is even more speechless, and he can't quit the stinky problem of "bullying the weak and fearing the hard", and whoever gives a good face will grin at whomever he wants.

If it weren't for his own protection, that guy wouldn't have known how many times he would have died.

Standing in front of Absek's desk, Internal Affairs Councilor Vadia said with a solemn expression.

"I heard that this matter has caused a lot of trouble within the alliance, and I don't know if it will affect the alliance's support for us."

Absec got up from his desk, paced around the office for half a circle, and said with a long sigh.

"I'm not worried about this, with the pattern and vision of the manager of the alliance, I don't think so."

Perhaps because he was in a similar position, he could see it very clearly.

The gentleman never reached out to them out of sympathy or the like, and naturally could not be interrupted by mere disgust or similar feelings.

Resisting the eastward expansion of the legion is not only a strategic need of the alliance, but also a value need.

They oppose militarism and authoritarianism against the oppression of survivors, and use this as a banner to unite more oppressed survivors.

They had the determination to win this war, and the Southern Army was the same.

After a pause, Absec said worriedly.

"However, there is no guarantee that they will let us go after the war is over...... And that's what worries me the most. ”

The war was won.

Naturally, they are no longer as important as they used to be.

As has traditionally been the case, the Coalition will help the local survivors establish their own order in the wastelands where there is no order.

And for lands with existing order, the alliance will let the natives decide their own fate.

For example, this is the case in Luoxia Province.

However, Borneo Province is different from Luoxia Province, there are too many contradictions accumulated in this land of thousands of tribes and thousands of gods, not to mention Lasi's attitude, and several thorns under his own hands have not yet been settled.

Occasionally, he couldn't help but feel that those who bowed to the Alliance's administrators could give themselves a little bit of that pious faith.

Anyway, the Heavenly Palace has collapsed, and he didn't have such a big obsession with that throne before, but now he has broken his thoughts.

In the future, everyone will take a step back and take turns to be the big boss, and it is not impossible to let time dilute the contradictions.

Looking at Absec, who was in a state of worry, Internal Affairs Councilor Wadia's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice.

“…… If it does get to that point, we have to prepare in advance. ”

Absec nodded.

"Well, the sooner you prepare, the better, and I have to talk to Lassi when I have time, and ask him about his attitude towards the three northern states, whether he can solve it peacefully or try to use peaceful methods."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly fell on a certain line of the "Survivor Daily"—an interview with a representative named Gu Ning.

That guy is a conservative within the league, and he should be considered his "enemy" in theory.

However, for some reason, Absec did not hate this unknown fellow, but felt a little sympathy for what this man said.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"Wadia, do you say Lao Tzu is a civilized person, or a barbarian?"

Hearing the Grand Commander's sudden question, Wadya, who was standing at the desk, was stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly said respectfully.

"You must be a civilized man, Commander! Does this need to be asked? ”

Absec laughed.

"No wonder." (End of chapter)
