Smith Farms,

Tom Smith Office.

Tom sat back in a leather boss's chair and leisurely looked at the latest information on the Yankey region in his hand:

"Good!"

"Corpses are everywhere, people are struggling to make a living, children are eaten, and riots are constantly ......"

"Tut-tut, I don't know, I thought I was on the ground."

"No, there is no "first-class foreign adult" here who is blessed by Weizuo, and it can't be compared to the earth. ”

Tom leaned back on the couch, thinking seriously about the current situation in his hometown and the difference between the Yankee area.

"Wait, if there is a person now, with foreign currency, isn't he a "first-class person" on the Yankey's side? ”

"No, people with foreign currency should be savagely "eaten" by the Yankees, who are not as talkative as my "fellows". ”

Looking at the "Yankee Turf Record" in the newspaper, Tom couldn't help but applaud, and even thought about what the consequences would be if such a large-scale economic crisis appeared in the local court?

In fact, there is no need for Tom to associate it, even if there is no economic crisis in the Qing Dynasty now, ordinary people are still like this.

A soft knock on the door, reaching Tom's ears, interrupted Tom's fantasy:

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Enter."

The three who came in were John, Johnny and Loki.

Tom looked at his three core executives in front of him, took out a few documents, and handed them to the three of them.

"Let's do the same as the Yankees, let's stop some factories first." Tom pointed to the "Suspension Plan for Part of the Smith Factory District" in his hand, and instructed the three of them to close part of the Smith Factory.

"Is that really good?" Loki asked with some hesitation.

"What if you don't do this, you can't support these millions of employees, just labor is a million dollars a day, 60 million dollars a month, as long as the plan works, we can successfully transform, they will immediately become unpaid employees." Tom still insisted on firing these employees,

Tom intends to take this opportunity to completely turn these employees into "slaves" who don't even have to pay for their salaries.

"I trust you, Tom, you just need to tell us what needs to be done." John was the first to stand up and show his support for Tom.

The other two nodded.

"You listen to the ...... three"

Tom has already made a plan to make these employees "voluntarily" laid off.

The other three's eyes widened as they listened to Tom's plan.

The first time the three of them heard that Tom had devised such a plan, even John, known as the "Three-Fingered Demon", was a little hesitant.

"Tom, are you really going to do this?"

Tom ignored the shock of the three of them, lightly took out the golden fake cigarette, and inhaled the filtered air heavily.

Tom felt the loss of time and felt alive while straining his lungs.

Tom looked out the window at the bustling downtown Houston.

Nodding slightly.

John didn't hesitate any longer, and walked out of Tom Smith's office with the remaining two, deciding to carry out the plan that he thought was outrageous.

Tom rests his legs on his desk, gold fake cigarette in his mouth, and thinks about how many people will die in this economic crisis.

"Anyway, there is already a steady stream of employees coming, these millions of people, it doesn't hurt to sacrifice at all, right?"

"Die, die, all die."

"Especially those white people who want a wage increase, let me all die."

——————

The next day, countless Texas government workers entered the Smith factory area with injunctions and search warrants in the major Smith factory areas in Texas.

In a certain Smith factory area, a middle-level leader of the Texas state government, with hundreds of state government employees working at the grassroots level, began to continuously seize the hero factory.

"Quick, shut down these offending factories!"

"This is a seizure warrant signed by Governor Andrew Hamilton to seize the Hero Company factory."

"These factories are suspected of illegal production, and the Texas government, on behalf of the federal government, has completely shut down these illegal factories."

"Hurry up, hurry up, the seal in the back is ready in advance."

Each factory seemed to have agreed in advance, did not resist the seizure of government personnel at all, and also helped government personnel evacuate the employees who were working.

Countless employees who were forced to stop work talked to each other dissatisfied:

"Why should the state government close the factory!"

"State governments are all shit! Obey the lackeys of the federal government! ”

"We are obviously working hard, but we are unemployed by these governments! We are going to protest, we are going to march, we are going to demand the election of a new governor state government! ”

"Let's get our jobs back and feed our families again!"

Among employees in Texas, there have been a large number of protest groups because of the government's large-scale shutdown of the Smith factory area.

Led by "certain people", these organizations traveled to Austin, the capital of Texas, on a free train trip provided by HERO, to gather under the state government to protest against the "cowardice" of the state government's "obedience" to the federal government.

Governor James is a little puzzled, in recent years, with the continuous growth of the hero company, his life has become more and more nourishing, and the poll himself has nearly 100% support.

The sudden workers' march left Governor James a little confused.

Governor James carefully recalls what happened during this time?

Nothing happened.

"What's the matter, why are so many workers here making trouble and marching now?"

"I look at their uniforms, they should all be employees of HERO company, right? Aren't the employees of their company most satisfied with the Texas government? ”

"What's in the documents you sent me recently?"

"Is there a bill that angers these employees?"

Governor James can only question the staff team around him, there are a large number of documents that need to be signed by the governor on weekdays, and Andrew Hamilton can't read them all, so he can only ask the staff team to pick out some important bills that need to be decided by himself.

What about the ones that don't matter? It is all left to the staff to adjudicate, and he is only responsible for signing.

It occurred to Governor James that some of the bills he had inadvertently signed touched the interests of his employees.

"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! ”

A knock on the door about to be hammered interrupted by Governor James' questioning.

Several high-level state government officials have stepped into the state government office.

An official, who appeared to be the leader, stood in front of Governor James, took out a few pieces of paper, and read them out in front of James.

"James S. W. Slockmorton, you are suspected of embezzlement and bribery, harboring and conniving at underworld criminal organizations, the crime of unknown sources of huge amounts of wealth, and the crime of embezzlement of public funds, this is an arrest warrant signed by the Texas state government. ”

"James S. W. Slockmorton, just now, the state Senate has passed an impeachment vote against you, and you are no longer governor. ”

An officer handed James two documents, one for his arrest and one for his impeachment.

James was a little confused, feeling that the whole world had betrayed him overnight.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out the window.
