"At least... ten thousand fra!"
The workers' eyes are all red, maybe they are in pain?
His palm was wrapped with a thick layer of bandages, but if you look carefully, there is a faint trace of dark red blood stains on the top.
When he opened his mouth, it was an astonishing number. Even though the exchange rate of the currency in the international foreign exchange market has dropped a bit compared to before, it is still a mainstream currency.
Ten thousand fulas is probably worth a little more than fourteen thousand federal soles. This amount of money is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
At least that's the case for federal people. They have to work for thirty years to earn so much money without having to eat or drink.
Including the fees and money previously demanded by the workers, this is a compensation of almost 20,000 federal soles!
The factory owner shook his head directly, "No way, the compensation I gave you before was already enough."
"Listen, according to the law and regulations, I only need to give you two thousand five hundred yuan. The more is based on humanitarianism. You shouldn't be so greedy and want more!"
"If you don't get it, I won't give it to you. If you do this again, I will call the police!"
The economy of the Amelia region is less developed than that of Gaevra Island, so the consumption standards here are very low, and money is more valuable.
It's like Nagaril.
If you find a twenty-year-old girl from Nagaril in the Federation, they will ask you for at least a hundred dollars.
But if you can find one locally in Nagaril that smells a little bit, it may only cost you five yuan.
The principle is the same. On the island of Gefra, this worker may not have many demands.
But this is Amelia, and the factory owner can't give him that much!
This amount of money is equivalent to his current net profit of one or two months!
People tend to become impulsive and irritable when talking about money.
The injured worker immediately rushed forward and struggled with the factory owner. Soon the factory security guards rushed over and pulled the worker back.
The factory owner's face was scratched badly by him. He walked up angrily and punched the guy!
The worker was restrained by the security guards and could only let his fists hit him in the face, but then he started shouting loudly——
The factory owner had him thrown out of the factory. When he got off work at night, the factory owner noticed that the workers looked at him differently than usual!
He didn't pay much attention, but when he came to the factory the next day, he found that many people had gathered outside the factory.
When he was wondering why these workers did not enter the factory and were gathering at the gate, people also discovered him!
The workers surrounded the car angrily, then cursed loudly at the factory owner who was sitting in the cab, and some of them were still banging on the car's shell!
This frightened him, and he honked the horn frantically, which also attracted the attention of some people. Not long after, the police came.
They separated the crowd and took both groups to the police station. Later, the factory owner learned from the police station that the worker who lost a little finger had died after returning last night.
Now the person lies in the cemetery management office and can be buried at any time.
His family said that after he returned home, he kept complaining that his head hurt, possibly from the factory. At about nine o'clock in the evening, he suddenly collapsed and could not get up again!
During this period, people did not yet recognize the behavior of finding the cause of death through anatomy. People always believed that only by keeping the body intact can they go to heaven!
And that man is already missing a finger. If he is not even left with a complete body, he will have no choice but to go to hell!
The family did not agree to the autopsy, and the hospital did not remind him. Anyway, if the person dies, it will still be a local person, so so be it!
But now, they are making trouble.
The factory owner has repeatedly argued that these things have nothing to do with him, but who knows?
The policeman at the police station privately hinted to him that if he paid more money, the matter would be settled. After all, one person died.
But at this time, a little money is no longer just a little.
In the afternoon, the factory owner was released on bail and left the police station. He entrusted a lawyer to talk to the family of the deceased. The other party opened his mouth and directly demanded that he pay at least ten times the pension of the island!
Because the worker did not die from an accident or natural causes, he was beaten to death!
Those people insisted on this, but it was obvious that the factory owners could not give that much.
When negotiations could not be reached, things began to ferment.
Rumors about "the Gefra people killed local workers and refused to compensate" began to spread rapidly. The local mayor also asked about this matter. Later, he learned that the police station had been involved, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But by the next day, the rumor had turned into something as ridiculous as "the people of Gefra are covering up for each other, and the murderer not only refused to compensate, but was also acquitted"!
Rumors...actually have suitable soil in any society at any time.
Some people who are more likely to believe these rumors will first believe that they are just a small group, but they will become a new source of diffusion, and then erode the entire society bit by bit!
In addition, some people were behind the scenes to promote the development of the matter. On the third day after the incident, a large-scale conflict finally broke out!
Physical clashes broke out between some angry locals and the police assigned to protect the factory owner, as well as the factory owner's own factory security guards.
The workers, the onlookers, were beaten to a bloody pulp, and then they started to fight back.
When a gunshot rang out, everything changed!
As long as anything rises to the level of a group, it means that the situation begins to become serious and out of control.
If this "group" itself can affect more people, and some people are injured or even killed, then this will turn into a big mess!
In addition, the two parties to the conflict already have many historical relationships...
On the morning of the fourth day after the incident, the country where the Amelia region originally belonged issued a severe condemnation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Condemn the cruel atrocities of the current President of Amelia Province and the Gevra government, saying that they treat non-Gefra people in the concession as slaves
He is treated as cruelly as animals, and even indulges in the murder law and continues to commit murderous crimes!
The spokesman of the country said that if the Gevra government does not give a proper explanation to the dead, and if it cannot give everyone an explanation, then they will tear up the contract and retake or re-liberate the Amelia region from Gevra!
The entire international community was in an uproar, and then Gevra's cabinet also stated that it would conduct a serious investigation and demanded... that the country abide by the contract previously signed by the two countries.
If the other party maliciously takes the opportunity to tear up the contract, Gaevra will use methods including but not limited to national diplomacy, unilateral military actions, etc. to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests!
Both sides expressed their willingness to actively engage in contact, but the local situation became increasingly tense.
Some people and members of the organization claiming to be the Wings of Freedom Movement of Amelia began to frequently attack and beat up the local Gefra people.
Bloody conflicts also occurred during this period, and the Governor's Office also began to actively intervene.
However, the effect is not very good and is getting worse.
"If we send troops to suppress it now, I'm worried that the other side won't sit back and watch us do this..."
The Governor was on the phone with the Prime Minister. He was very troubled. It was just a small matter at first, but no one expected that it would evolve to this point in such a short period of time.
The local Gafra people in the city where the incident occurred are fleeing, and a few wealthy businessmen with armed bodyguard teams are still watching.
After all, once they leave, their industries will be destroyed and their wealth that cannot be taken away will be plundered.
There was even a special movement to "take back Amelia" locally!
Some people shouted that they would take back their hometown from the Gefra people and expel all Gefra people. The local society became very dangerous.
All avenues for negotiation have been closed. It’s not that they don’t want to talk, it’s that they really have no way to talk.
Just now, the two of them discussed the possibility of using force to suppress the situation, but His Excellency the Governor flatly rejected it.
He does not think it is a good idea to use force to suppress when both sides are not rational enough. This will only trigger greater riots and unpredictable consequences.
After being silent for a while, the Prime Minister said, "What we need to consider now is not the issue of local order, but the issue of whether the initiative for the war is in our hands."
"There is not much time left for me and you now."
"The Federation took the initiative to attack Marillo to solve their only hidden danger. The Pentio people have begun to intervene. A few days ago, the president of the Federation asked me to cooperate with them to intercept Pentio's fleet in the Atlantic Ocean."
"The war has actually broken out... Governor, if you don't make a choice anymore, then I can only make the choice for you."
"We can't wait until Pengeo's army reaches our doorstep before we remember that we need to fight back!"
The governor then fell into silence, thinking about many things.
For more than ten minutes, the only sound in the receiver was the dull sound of two people breathing slightly.
At the end, the governor sighed, "I am willing to obey the orders of this island..."
He compromised.
In fact, he also knew very well that in peacetime, Amelia could maintain a relatively unique "independent" status.
The island will not initiate a "civil war" just because the governor is not so cooperative with the island's decision-making.
But during the war, if he could not complete the ideological unity with the island, then the island would never tolerate him anymore.
The Prime Minister also breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't have to worry too much. Our reinforcements will arrive in two days at most."
"This time we will fight jointly with the federal side. The command may not be in your hands, and certainly not in my hands."
"Professional matters should be left to professional people. We can formulate some general policies, but we should not mess with the details."
