Chapter 1002 The Collapse of the Lighthouse Country
It has to be said that in democratically elected countries, or vote-based countries that appear to be very democratic, the role of the media is huge.
Public opinion, coerced by the media, can often influence the country's decisions.
For example, the issue of refugee admissions this time.
Although many countries have a serious aging population and are in urgent need of external technical talents and young labor to fill the gap, they do not need dependent family members, old and young. In their view, these are additional financial burdens and will cause a waste of social resources. Many councils do not want to agree to Zhang Tuohai's conditions and are prepared to delay, talk and study.
However, they can drag it, but the people marching outside the window do not agree.
The various photos and videos have made enough tears, and the organizers have organized a grand march to demand that their country accept these poor refugees. Otherwise, it is selfish, dictatorial, undemocratic and unfree.
If no action is taken, these politicians will be asked to step down and apologize.
Here, especially the opposition party shouts the loudest, they are eager for the ruling party to make mistakes and be ousted by the voters, so that they can be in power.
Seeing that public opinion is so boiling, those politicians are scared. They will not go against the voters unless it goes against their own interests.
Right and left, it costs taxpayers' money to host refugees, and they don't need to pay out of their own pockets.
Moreover, to accommodate refugees, we need to build shelters and refugee communities, right?
Do you want to provide medical resources?
Do you want to provide food?
All of these require funding.
However, you can let people in your own family do business, and you can make a lot of money by doing it. You can also win the favor of voters if you have profits, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
As for whether it will cause public security problems, they no longer care so much. Anyway, it is the voters who will suffer if something goes wrong, and it has nothing to do with them.
It was you who welcomed the refugees in in the first place.
Those politicians agreed to Zhang Tuohai's conditions and gave a list of employees, filling in the number of technicians needed, the number of managers, the number of young and middle-aged laborers, the number of workers in service industries such as maids, etc.
After getting the list, Zhang Tuohai immediately asked people to prepare, select refugees according to conditions, compile a list of single refugees and refugees with families in proportion and send it out.
In particular, people from a community should be compiled on one list as much as possible, so that familiar people will be more closely united and it will be harder to integrate into the local society.
These are all small tricks arranged by Zhang Tuohai, and he doesn't care much about whether they work or not.
If it's useful, you'll make money; if it's useless, you won't lose much.
In this way, large numbers of refugees were picked up by planes from various countries, and the full refugee camps emptied out, and then were filled with newly arrived refugees, and then new planes.
For a whole month, planes traveling between Chicken Taco Country and other parts of the world have not stopped.
Planes after planes were filled with refugees and left.
In just one month, countries have taken away nearly 10 million refugees.
Although the number of these refugees only accounts for one-thirtieth of the population of the lighthouse country, they are the backbone of the lighthouse country. They are all skilled technicians, engineers, elite management, technical talents in various professions and a large number of young adults.
Labor force.
These are the middle level and cornerstone of the lighthouse country, and are the link connecting the top and bottom of the lighthouse country.
The loss of these people is like cutting off a blood vessel, and the upper and lower levels of the Lighthouse Country have lost their management channels.
Orders from the top cannot be conveyed to the bottom. The departure of elites in various fields has caused disorder in the field, and many people have also left in large numbers.
The lack of young and middle-aged labor force has caused the bottom class to lose its ability to operate.
The Lighthouse Country lost a large number of factories and infrastructure during the last major riot, and a large number of young people died in that great riot. This group of young people is particularly important, whether it is to rebuild infrastructure.
, or the functioning of society, are inseparable from these young people.
The last truck driver's strike directly paralyzed the lighthouse country's logistics. Supermarket shelves were empty and only photos could be displayed. This was still the case in peacetime, let alone now after the war?
The only remaining young men were taken away by Zhang Tuohai, which seemed to directly interrupt the foundation, causing the Lighthouse Country to almost come to a standstill.
The nearly shut down society has made more people disappointed with the parliament and began to drag their families and families away, which led to greater social unrest.
Many people could no longer survive and began to carry weapons on the highway to hunt passing convoys.
As a result, greater riots were triggered, and the shootings spread more and more widely. Everyone was in danger, and finally it evolved to the point where no one dared to go out without a gun.
However, the lighthouse country does not have any ability to dare in this situation.
Because a large number of soldiers are fleeing.
Military factories were bombed, missile bases were washed away by mushrooms and eggs, the entire country's economy collapsed, and the credibility of the U.S. sword collapsed. All countries refused to use the U.S. sword. Even domestically, they no longer believed in banknotes. Everyone used various currencies.
You can buy precious metals or bullets as currency for trading. In more places, you can barter or buy guns for zero dollars.
This situation has led to the fact that the lighthouse country has no way to pay wages to the soldiers. Who will continue to stay here without money?
Many soldiers either fled home or formed groups to go abroad as mercenaries.
There are even some well-connected officers who directly lured away a member of the combined brigade and went to work as gangsters overseas.
The collapse of the Federal Army means that the Lighthouse Nation once again lacks a pillar.
The economy collapsed, the army disintegrated, a large amount of talent was lost, cultural works were boycotted, all four cornerstones supporting the hegemony of the Lighthouse Country were shattered, and the city on the mountain that once stood at the top of the world completely collapsed.
The entire country fell into turmoil.
The worst thing is that due to social unrest, fertilizer plants cannot produce, poor road conditions prevent transportation, the land lacks seeds and fertilizers and cannot be cultivated, and large-scale famine is brewing.
The large number of unattended corpses on the roadside has become a breeding ground for diseases.
War, famine, plague and death have always been four inseparable brothers.
It is conceivable that the current turmoil is just the beginning of all disasters, and the follow-up will be even worse.
If this continues, the Lighthouse Country will eventually fall into complete collapse.
Either after several major reshuffles, one overlord will be determined and regain control of the country, or several overlords will be determined, no one can do anything to anyone, and the country will eventually be divided.
And the Lighthouse Country, which has lost a lot of industry, can only rely on its huge plains to act as a food producer, and nothing more. Want to return to the top of the world?
Sorry, I have offended too many people before, it would be nice not to be added to the trouble.
Zhiye saw all this clearly, but she had no ability to change it and could only watch it happen.
