Chapter 1482: Difficulties (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
ps: Thank you for the collection.
The weather is slowly warming up, and spring is getting closer.
Almost three months have passed since the landing of the human coalition forces in the Caribbean.
An army of millions has gathered in Caribbean Port, and it has not been triggered.
Although the war did not break out as soon as the Semitic expected, in the past two or three months, with the strong support of the Terrans, especially the Flying Eagle transnational trust monopoly, the Caribbean port has developed by leaps and bounds.
The pace is changing with each passing day, and the city is changing every day.
Factories of all kinds have sprung up, pulling them out of the land with a hula, black smoke billowing from the chimneys, and the roar of steam engines day and night.
Ships laden with coal, ore and laborers lined up in long queues waiting to enter the port.
Good news spread frequently on all fronts, and the farts of the chickens in Caribbean Port rolled up as if they had been stimulated.
Industry, finance, urbanization, cheap labor, a frenzied influx into this once-monotonous port.
A pearl on the coast is rising, and the future will surely shine brightly......
But~!
But these are just superficial appearances~!
In fact, the situation in the Caribbean is not optimistic at all, with turbulent and complex undercurrents, which affect the whole body.
The security situation in the Caribbean has deteriorated dramatically as a result of the influx of migrant workers.
Although the Caribbean is not very safe in the first place, there are many pirates and smugglers, and the lower city is a place of lawlessness with a large number of poor people.
But it's never been so bad.
Think about it. With the presence of heavy human coalition troops in the Caribbean, those bandits and robbers dared to rob the Eagle Bank in broad daylight. This case alone can illustrate the deterioration of the form shì.
In addition to this, with the influx of population, they not only provided labor, but also brought in the gangster associations that had formed in their rural areas.
This is actually a logical thing, and outsiders must be bullied by locals when they first arrive, especially since this is an era when there are no labor laws and trade unions. It is not uncommon for strangers to lose their lives.
In order to make money, these outsiders will unite together, and the most simple and credible thing is naturally their own countrymen.
What's more, many people simply organized themselves as a boss and came together to make a living, and they formed the most basic gang organization.
When there are more people, the ambition is naturally greater, in order to maximize profits. They often form a violent gang in the shortest possible time, and then bully and dominate the market, and take the opportunity to monopolize a certain industry.
As described in "The Godfather", which can be regarded as a gangster textbook, the Irish and Italians, who have just become the apprentices of Amei's menstruation, form the most famous gangs. The Mad Dogs and the Mafia, even if these people turned out to be honest and simple puffs.
They recklessly behaved in the golden age of belonging to the gangsters. Vito, Corleone, guò by burning competitors' goods, monopolized the sale of olive oil and made its first pot of gold.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. That's what everybody does.
Not only that, but those underworlds are vying for turf. Hundreds of people fight each other on the streets almost every day, and countless people die, and now is the time when the competition is at its fiercest.
This is nothing, no matter how powerful the gang is, it will only be wiped out under the guns of the security army, and what is even more headache is that the gang of nobles who have fled.
Lord Lorraine couldn't just shoot things like he did with gangsters—though he thought about it more than once.
In the beginning, the nobles who came were all Semitic elites, persecuted.
Their arrival has added a lot of influence to the Caribbean government.
For example, Chief of Military Affairs Parker, Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Hawke, and Commander of the Northwest Military District, Halke.
These people are all important in the Semitic army, and they are extremely prestigious in the Semitic tribe.
Their arrival caused a subtle change in the attitude of the entire Semitic military.
In addition to this, there are a large number of other officials who have been persecuted.
Since they are not treated by the necromantic gold medal dogleg of Madorins, these people do not need to be mentioned, and they are naturally sober-minded among the Semitic people, who want to seek a way out for the independence and freedom of the Semitic people, and are really idealistic and aspiring elites.
If they don't run, the butcher's knife of the secret police may fall on them that day.
The Caribbean government is now short of talents, and the entire interim government has only three or two big cats and small cats, and it cannot even hold a regular meeting.
For these nobles who defected, they were naturally taken care of. Basically, everyone is an official and a knight.
There are more and more subordinates, and President Bullard's eyes have narrowed into a slit that month, and he will laugh even in his dreams.
But then things took a turn for the worse.
A large number of unruly aristocrats and landlords who were mixed in the Semitic tribe, seeing that there was a bargain here, would give them to the officials as long as they came, and at the moment they were like smelling bloody sharks, and they came to join them one after another.
There are even some of them who are notorious and have bad conduct that is unacceptable even in mainstream Semitic society.
Their arrival brought with them the inherent inferiority of the feudal landlord class and the lowly aristocracy.
Despising merchants, oppressing the people, forcibly buying and selling, robbing women, and killing people on the streets...... It's almost no different from those gangsters who engage in the underworld.
If there is really any difference, it is that the underworld still has a little face, and when the hall is opened, it also has to shout the loyalty of the two voices, and help the dead to destroy or something.
And they rely on their aristocratic status, unscrupulous, and don't even want a little face.
Although they did not dare to provoke the human coalition, they made the people of the Caribbean resentful and excited.
If it weren't for knowing that Prime Minister Madolins was a fool and was now busy with the Great Purge, he wouldn't have bothered to do this. Lord Luo must suspect that they are undercover spies sent by Madorins.
To say that they are pig teammates is to insult pigs. Those people are completely a bunch of lowly ruffians and scum~!
Now the Caribbean has been made into a miasma by them, and if it is allowed to develop, the local people may be forced to rebel.
This is an extremely terrible thing.
You know, everyone came under the banner of freedom and democracy to save the Semitic people living in dire straits, but in the end, they forced the Semitic people to rebel.
At that time, humanity became a joke.
Lord Lorraine I will become the laughing stock of the world.
Lord Luo looked at the copy on the table. I couldn't help but sigh again at the moment: Now I have to think of a good way~!
Local intelligence agency agents have set up a team to directly target the killing.
But if you stab them directly, it will inevitably make the Semitic nobles feel terrified, and the hearts of those who have been gathered together will be scattered.
You must know that the reputation of the Caribbean government is not good, and it is even called a flash traitor, a traitor, and a human dog.
If it weren't for the perverse actions of Madorins, everyone would have been terrified. They won't come here at all.
This good momentum must be maintained in order to try to divide and win over the Semitic people and weaken their resistance.
Not to mention that at this stage, humanity still needs the help of these Semitic nobles to maintain their rule.
This is really a dilemma~!
Rao is Lord Luo is full of wisdom, but at this moment, he can't come up with a good idea. To kill, or not to kill?
He rubbed his temples with a headache, then got up, went to the window, and pushed it open.
A cold wind blew in. Let Lorraine's originally wooden mind be cleared immediately.
He glanced out.
I saw the whole Caribbean city in full view.
In the distance, countless ships are shuttling back and forth. Unusually busy.
In the harbor, there are also hundreds of large ships moored.
Long trestle bridges plunge deep into the sea, connecting the heavy ships to the docks.
Heavy steam engines spew billowing black smoke and drive lifting equipment to lift the ship's cargo.
On another hill, a magnificent cathedral is under construction.
Workers are constantly busy on the scaffolding, and from a distance, they are as small as ants.
Farther away, the chimneys of the steel mills had been erected, one of which had been ignited, belching black smoke outward.
And in Caribbean City, it's also a busy scene.
That situation reminded Lorraine of her own Nai'an. The original construction of Nai An was also so lively and busy. Changing with each passing day, thriving.
When the lord saw this, he couldn't help but feel quite proud in his heart. Under his own leadership, these originally backward Caribbeans have already stepped into the ranks of capitalism with half a foot.
At this moment, a light breeze blew, and at the same time, there was a soft music mixed with laughter.
Lorraine turned her head to look and saw a flat scene of singing and dancing in the hall of the presidential palace. Countless gentlemen and ladies were holding champagne and talking about something with a lot of laughter.
These were all Semitic exiled nobles who had been invited to President Brad's banquet.
And President Brad, in order to gather popularity and attract people's hearts, holds such banquets almost every day.
The old guy had a very bad problem, every time he drank too much, he would pull someone over casually, and then start talking about his hard history and glorious history, and then as soon as the conversation changed, he began to seal the official and make a wish, and use people in violation of regulations.
In the past, when he was the lord of the city, the banquet was basically attended by locals and his relatives, and at this time, if he drank too much, he would be an official casually, and at most it would be cronyism. It doesn't hurt much.
But now that he is the president, the people who attend the banquet every day are exiled nobles who come from all over the world, and it would be too imprudent to make an official so casually.
The lord maliciously doubted in his heart: This cheap old man is about the ability to be a city lord at most~!
At that moment, I heard the door creak behind me. Then a small sound of footsteps came behind him, from far and near.
Now in this place, only four people can come in so unpleasantly.
Among them, when Lei Er and Xiaobai came running, they were always earth-shattering. And he often likes to kick the door directly, and Lei Er is kicking the door when he is kicking the door. will also shout 'Kill without a shadow foot~!'
Vera's pockets were filled with either gold coins or snacks, and she walked with a bang. It's like a moving vault.
Only Fiona would be so gentle and considerate.
Sure enough, I heard her voice sound behind her, and said, "Are you worried again?"
As he spoke, Lianbu moved lightly and came behind Lorraine, and then gently rubbed Lorraine's forehead.
Lorraine sighed. "Yes, no way.
Why are you the ruined nobles here like rat cubs, who usually can't see them, and when it comes to the critical moment, they all come out of their holes to find food?"
Fiona immediately slapped him lightly on the back in disgust, and then said, "I can't figure it out, there are many countries on your Terran side. There should be more nobles, how do you deal with it?"
Lorraine shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although there are many nobles on our side, there are also many wars, so the nobles also die more. ”
If it weren't for the fast legs and feet of the lord back then, he would have entered the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy to study. He was also to be sent to the frontier to have a snowball fight with the barbarians.
And even so, when he first met Catherine, the eighth woman used death squads to scare him at every turn.
Fiona chuckled, then continued, "There's still something left." ”
Lorraine tilted her head and thought for a moment. Said: "If there is any rest, send it to the Senate and let them ...... there."
Speaking of which. He suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead heavily: How could he ignore the Senate, a big killer used to arrange idle and full-time?
He only thought about setting up a Semitic government, completely ignoring that the current Semitic provisional republican government was completely different from the original. It's a completely new architecture, and you can add to it as you like.
Even if we encounter some small problems, then we can easily solve these problems by applying them to the side of human society.
And since it is a republican government, then this is also a civil society, and the aristocracy, the class of the feudal dynasty, cannot exist, and everyone is equal in this society...... Well, at least on the surface, everyone is equal.
This is anyone who wants to be an official......
Thinking of this, Lord Luo suddenly brightened up. My mind also opened up all at once.
Lorraine sighed in his heart, in the past two years, he patronized the war, and he was stupid as a soldier, and he forgot his own work.
He pulled Fiona and kissed her the cheek, then sat down at the table, picked up the pen, and wrote with great urgency.
××××××××
The next day, the provisional republican government issued a proclamation announcing the establishment of the State Administration of Taxation.
At the beginning of its establishment, the tax office did not attract everyone's attention.
After all, the tax bureau is dedicated to collecting everyone's protection fees, but if a country wants to operate, it has to rely on various tax support.
No matter where it is placed, it is a good thing.
Only the most attentive person would have noticed that all the tax policemen of the State Tax Administration had been transferred from the fiercest and most combative SS in Nayan.
Moreover, the director of the tax bureau is not a Semitic person, but a human being, a famous human warrior, the little grandfather of the Ruman Empire, the chairman and general manager of the Flying Eagle Group, and the second master of Leore.
This may seem inappropriate, since it is not possible for an official of a country to appoint a foreigner under normal circumstances. But according to the treaty signed between the Semitic Provisional Government and the humans. Humans lend Semitic large sums of money, all of which are secured by taxes.
Therefore, it is natural to appoint the Terrans to monitor the tax revenue and ensure that the Semites have the ability to repay.
It is said that Lei Erye took the letter of appointment, and immediately couldn't hold back his excitement, sat on the ground, pulled his throat, and cried like a wolf dog.......
It's not easy, it's not easy~!
In the past, it was Nicole's gang of women who collected their own taxes, and they collected thousands of them at every turn, without even blinking their eyebrows, as if they had a water faucet on their bodies, as long as they unscrewed it, it would flow out in an uproar.
That's all money~!
It was earned by falling eight petals of sweat beads on the ground, pouting his ass and working hard to earn a copper plate and a copper plate.
As a result, I said that I would accept it, and I didn't even have a place to reason~!
The pain is like cutting meat with a knife, and it's definitely hard to understand without experiencing it yourself.
Finally, finally, now it's time to get through it. It's finally my turn to collect other people's taxes~!
What makes Second Master Lei happiest is that it also stipulates in detail that all taxes are paid by him at two thousandths.
Two thousandths may seem like a small number, but when you multiply that with the sheer Semitic taxes, it's a pretty scary number.
Fiona sat in Lorraine's office, looking at Lei Er's crying snot and tears, she couldn't help but be extremely worried, and asked Lorraine: "Leo doesn't matter, right? Nicole is such a younger brother, in case he has a good one." How can I explain to his sister?"
Lorraine was smiling...... Bah, really wrote something with a happy face, listened to her words, immediately raised his head, glanced out the window, and then shouted: "Leo, don't howl." Time is money, and if you howl here for one more minute, you will earn at least two thousand gold coins. ”
Outside the window, Leo's crying stopped abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that Leo had already gotten up from the ground, and then wiped the tears and snot on his face with his sleeve, and then shouted loudly: "Little guys, gather, our grandfather is going to make a lot of money today." ”
He paused for a moment, and then shouted to this side: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely learn from you, and I have to scrape off the land of this Semitic tribe by three feet~!"
Fiona's eyes went dark, and she stumbled and fell into Lorraine's arms.
When she stood up again and wiped the black line on her forehead, she saw Lei Er with Xiaobai and a large number of tax policemen rushing out of the door.
Looking at Leo's back, and then looking back, looking at Lorraine lying on the table with a wicked smile and writing something, Fiona suddenly felt a burst of regret in her heart: she was full of food, what idea did she have to come up with?
These two scourges are already bastards enough. As a result, they must be more and more jerks up with their own ideas~!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window, worried for her Semitic compatriots...... (To be continued.)
