The lights in the Yoda State House conference room were brightly lit, and Governor Cassandra was frowning and smoking a cigar.
He was in a very bad mood at this time. Not long ago, he was laughing at the incompetence of the governor of Saxon State. He actually sued for peace with a group of urban thugs. It was simply a shame for the lighthouse country. As a result, not long after, his own state
Something similar happened inside.
And not together, but three times.
Except for the largest city where his parliament is located, the second, fourth, and fifth cities have all launched freedom actions, declaring their independence from state control, demanding autonomy, and asking the state Supreme Court to pass laws to give them similar rights as Rose City.
Status.
If you really agree to them, then the economy of the entire Yoda State will suffer a devastating blow and at least half of its financial resources will be lost.
He glanced at the surrounding military and political officials with a gloomy look, and said coldly: "Tell us what we should do."
"Suppression, we must suppress it. If we don't suppress it, where is the majesty of our guard? We must hit hard, give a resolute blow, and eliminate every one we find!" the commander-in-chief of the state guard said firmly.
"How to suppress it?" a member of parliament asked with a sneer.
"Of course with artillery and machine guns!" the commander-in-chief of the Guard had already prepared. "The reason why Sachs State failed was because it made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. I can guarantee that we will not repeat the mistakes of Sachs State. I will first
Let electronic warfare aircraft destroy the opponent's communication network, then use stealth bombers to bomb important facilities and nodes, use missile apex to snipe important targets and crush the opponent's armed forces, use tanks and armed helicopters to cooperate to clear ground targets, and finally special forces and infantry advance together.
, and finally recovered the city."
The commander-in-chief of the state guard said confidently.
"Why didn't you tell me that we would authorize the use of nuclear weapons?" the state finance director said with a sneer, "Do you know how much logistics it takes to use these weapons? How much does it cost? Can the state finances support it?"

"Furthermore, even if it can be sustained, with your plan, even if the city is conquered, it will be reduced to ruins. What's the use of having a few ruins? Can it bring in income?" Another councilman also agreed.
Tao.
"Then what do you think we should do? Just ignore it and let them govern themselves?" the commander-in-chief of the state guard asked dissatisfied and angrily.
"In my opinion, it's not impossible to arrive." A council member said with a smile.
"What did you say? Cartel, are you going to betray us and join that group of thugs?" the commander-in-chief of the state guard pounded the table and roared.
"Calm down!" Governor Cassandra's voice spread throughout the conference room, making everyone quiet down.
"Cartel, we all know that you always have some good ideas. Now that we have reached a critical moment, stop showing off and tell us what you think."
Cassandra said.
"Yes, Carter, tell me what you think. Now we are just grasshoppers on the same rope." Other congressmen cooperated.
"Everyone," the congressman named Carter stood up and said loudly, "before discussing this issue, let's review it first. What is the purpose of sitting here? Sitting in this conference room of the State House.
Is it the spirit of serving tax-paying voters? Or is it the ideals and ambitions of practicing great freedom? Or is it a sense of social responsibility?"
"In my opinion, these are all bullshit used to deceive fools. We are sitting here for only one purpose, and that is to make money!"
"Whether it is a legislator, a financial officer, the commander-in-chief of the state guard, or our dear governor, our purpose is very simple and consistent, that is to make money!"
Cartel shouted.
"Cartel, what do you want to say?" a congressman asked impatiently.
"It's very simple. Since our purpose is to make money, then the next step is simple. Whether we agree to the standards of autonomy for these three cities is also very simple, that is, whether it can make us make money. If it can make us make money, then let them
So what about autonomy? If we can’t make money, then use military power to raze these three cities to the ground! Deter those scoundrels and deduct some money from urban reconstruction.”
Cartel said lightly.
"If it becomes a free city, then state laws cannot be taken into account, city taxes cannot be collected, and even the factories of large companies cannot survive there. How can we make money?"
a congressman asked.
"Those are all related to state finance, and they don't fall into our pockets. What does it have to do with us?"
Cartel said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Governor Cassandra asked.
"I sent people to investigate the reasons for Rose City's economic boom. There are two main reasons. One is the sale of necessary supplies. It is conceivable that after the declaration of full freedom and autonomy, no one will be willing to go to work, and the factories will not stay there.
If you live in an unregulated place, they will definitely be relocated. By then, even if they want to work, they will have nowhere to go."
"There are no factories, no hotels, no water plants, no power plants, nothing. What should we do? It's very simple. We provide them with services. The price naturally has to add another zero. Don't ask. Asking is freedom.
price."
Cartel said with a smile.
"If they don't work anymore, where will the money come from?" asked a congressman.
"It's very simple. When their savings are wiped out, they will be forced to work. I sent people to Rose City to see it. Those aborigines are engaged in supporting services and accommodation in some transit centers.
Catering, entertainment, etc., as for the consuming guests, they are naturally the main force of zero-yuan purchases. What will the money they get from selling stolen goods be used for? It is of course eating, drinking and having fun, and it naturally flows into the pockets of the aborigines, and
They themselves can only continue to return to their place of origin and continue shopping for zero dollars. And the money of the aborigines flows into our pockets by purchasing electricity, Internet, food, and water. It’s perfect, isn’t it?”
"They already have a very mature network there, can we compete with them?"
One council member was obviously a little moved, but still asked worriedly.
"The advantage of Rose City is obvious, that is, it was established the earliest, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is too far away, especially for us from other states. Our local army of zero-dollar buyers have to go to Rose City to sell their stolen goods. The journey is too long.
If we go too far, there will be too much time wasted. We all are like this, let alone those states further away. If we can help them solve it nearby, will they be willing to come to us? "<

Councilor Cartel asked with a smile.
