Chapter 3898 Veteran

Everyone was speechless. It seemed that this was true. The criminals caught in Section 9 were serious criminals who had caused damage to the island country's economy. Once Section 9 was gone, the damage would become greater and the island country would not be able to make any money. How could it protect its children? Even if there is no money, the children in the orphanage still have to finish their work, and even the ordinary children have to finish their work.

At this time, Duran was thinking of what the bodyguard of Arasaka Company said to V: You only know how to destroy, but what are the millions of employees in the company wrong? Without the company, how can employees survive?

It has almost the same meaning in island countries. The parliament of the island country is finished. Who will make money and who will feed thousands of children?

The section chief is upright and believes that he is doing the right thing and making necessary sacrifices.

The Nine Lessons didn’t have the courage to break the bottles and jars. After all, they really broke them, and they didn’t have the confidence to stand up after breaking them. If they destroy it and cannot build it up again, they are sinners.

The head teacher told everyone very directly that the Nine Lessons are necessary evils, which means sacrificing the few to save the many. It left everyone speechless, after all, they couldn't give a better way out.

It is too wasteful to spend the charity budget on the old, weak, sick and disabled, so it should be spent on Section 9. Section 9 can do many things and stabilize the order of the island country.

Du Lan thought that it was necessary to use it on the old, weak, sick and disabled, because it was to solve social problems. If this money was not spent, everyone would have no support and would have to protect themselves and rob resources.

Resources are controlled, and social problems become more serious. If there is a backing, everyone can act haphazardly. If there is no backing, then everyone can act haphazardly. The section chief's words can only be regarded as a ploy to control resources, rather than a conspiracy to establish rules.

What the island country now lacks is basic resources such as fresh water, electricity, and land, which has completely reached its upper limit. As a result, it is difficult for the industry to upgrade. Although it has some industrial advantages, it cannot last long. There will be more and more conflicts in the future, and no matter how hard you try in Lesson 9, it will be useless. What is needed is a foundation to establish social credit so that everyone can work day and night.

Let everyone stop grabbing resources and build a large number of power plants, roads and other infrastructure first.

It's a pity that everyone is grabbing resources now, so no one in the island country is willing to build infrastructure. The section chief's idea will only make everything worse.

But there was no need for Dulan to be at odds with the section chief. After he and everyone left the section chief's office, he couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone's heart is heavy because they are a necessary evil and must bear the evil thoughts and consequences. Dulan's smile broke the heavy atmosphere and was inappropriate.

"Why are you laughing?" Togusa asked.

"I'm laughing at the section chief for his calculations."

"What's the plan?"

"Of course you spend a small amount of money to do big things. Is what the island country needs a necessary evil? No, what it needs is infrastructure, but the cost of infrastructure cannot be covered by a mere charity budget. Even if you package and sell the nine lessons, you can't handle it. So just Can you think of spending a small amount of money to do big things, if in the world The problem can be solved so easily, and there is no need for everyone to work hard to make money and build rules. "Dulan said: "You can't change anything by spending a small amount of money. The necessary evil sounds good, but it has no effect. The situation in island countries is only getting worse.”

Togusa said: "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Why embarrass an old man? It's not easy for him either. Can we still force him to change the social consensus? It's impossible, so it's better not to say anything."

"..." After everyone heard this, they originally thought that necessary evil would be useful, but it turned out to be useless. I feel even worse.

"Whether a country is good or not cannot be achieved by just a few people. It has to rely on all the efforts being used in one place and developing wholeheartedly. Only then can it generate more electricity, more fresh water, and even more land. Only by Nine lessons, a necessary evil, can build power plants and reservoirs , Reclamation of land from the sea? It can’t be done, it’s impossible. Since it can’t be done, we can only watch the situation worsen. “So the problem is that simple, the section chief is spending a small amount of money to do big things, but there is a contradiction. It’s only going to get more intense, welcome to the era of cyberpunk.”

Everyone returned to the office without much energy, because Duran was right. But even if you say it right, you can’t do it, it’s too difficult.

Looking at history, the first time the island countries really worked together was to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, learn the new system, and then conquer the Ezo people. Then came the end of the Warring States Period's external expansion, and then came the end of respecting the emperor and punishing traitors.

These are all periods of expansion.

This is the problem of the landlords and aristocrats. If they can expand and profit, everyone will be happy together. Once there is no expansion, everyone can only suppress each other. In the end, the landowners who control foreign trade will be able to suppress other landowners.

Therefore, it is still necessary to respect the emperor, punish traitors, and expand externally in order to truly stimulate national strength. This is historical inertia.

Duran doesn't care, after all, cyberpunk is fun like this. It would not be fun if everyone focused on infrastructure construction and developed productivity together. Cyberpunk is about control and resistance, a duel of ideas, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought. It means to demonize one's opponents, to not allow allies to defect, to constantly propagandize to create divisions, and to use a few to hide under the majority.

Under the bustling city, new evils are growing. A group of veterans are preparing to tell the people about the evils of the island country. The island country betrayed its army!

This group of veterans fought passionately abroad, but they did not receive any subsidies or pensions. And you can't find a job after returning to your country, because many bosses think that retired soldiers are a factor of instability.

This makes it difficult for veterans to survive, so a group of veterans want to roar to society to let them know that the island country is ashamed of its veterans.

Especially the leader of the veterans, he fought bloody battles abroad, but his wife was forced to die for debts, and his daughter was starved to death. He hated it! So he led other veterans to control a virus laboratory and negotiate with the island country.

A group of veterans with combat experience quickly controlled the virus laboratory and could release the super virus inside at any time.

They started a live broadcast on the Internet.

"I am Saburo Satada, a retired soldier of the Kamikaze Special Forces." He did not hide his identity because he wanted all citizens to know his existence.

"I want to talk to the prime minister. If there is no answer within two hours, I will release the toxins in the laboratory. These toxins will spread through the air, and people within a hundred miles will die. It is also best not to cut off the network. Once the network is cut off, I will release the toxins immediately." The veteran said: "I don't want to use violence against this country. I love the island country, but some people and things in the island country force me to do something. I am not a terrorist. I just want to awaken the numb citizens and let them know what we have experienced."

Through the live broadcast on the Internet, everyone saw this information and heard the determination and helplessness of the veterans.

The news also reached Section 9, and everyone gathered in the office, waiting to set off. They knew very well that this case might fall on them, after all, Section 9 was responsible for hard work.

Because they did not hide their identities, they had their numbers and names, and they were directly called out.

"One Sun Medal, two Kamikaze Medals, this is a combat hero who has made great contributions to the island country." Half of the members of Section 9 came from the army, and they knew the weight of the three medals, which were honors that could only be obtained after nine deaths.

It stands to reason that such an honored veteran should not become a terrorist, but the current situation is very bad.

The intelligence of other suspects also came, all veterans, each of whom had participated in difficult battles, and it was not easy to survive.

Section 9 had mixed feelings.

The live broadcast was not interrupted, and Saburo Sada slowly told his tragic experience. The key point was to tell others that he was betrayed by the island country and that the island country had failed the veterans.

His tragedy is indeed touching. His wife went to borrow money to run the family shop, but the bank was unwilling to lend. In the end, she had to borrow usury and was forced to death. His daughter starved to death because no one took care of her. And there was no help from the island country in the whole process.

Other veterans are more or less the same. Some are sick but have no medical insurance and cannot afford medicine. Some veterans can't find a job and can only be homeless. Some veterans can only rely on their wives to support them and become a burden on their families...

On the battlefield, they all charged forward and survived nine deaths, but they were treated unfairly when they returned to their country.

"We fought bloody battles for the island country, but the island country failed our sacrifice. I don't want to hurt everyone, I just want an explanation, just want everyone to wake up, citizens, we should not continue to be numb, we should not be muddle-headed, we should rise up and fight!" Saburo Satada roared in the live broadcast room.
