1598 Some People Are Not Human

From this day on, the "Finger Cutting Law" will become the main means to deal with criminals and suspects in Marillo.

Of course, if these people are willing to take the initiative to go to the concentration camps, then there is no need to resort to these methods.

Since you are in danger, you must make a choice.

If you want freedom, then you must lose your thumb to ensure that the freedom given to you by the federal government will not become an opportunity for you to attack federal people!

If you want to keep your fingers and your labor force, it's best to stay in a concentration camp.

Although there will be forced labor there, at least you save your fingers and your own life.

If you don't want to choose either option, then a bullet is the only option in the end.

When the federal people announced this decree, there was immediately a lot of opposition in the entire Marillo society, especially in the non-occupied areas.

Not only was there no resistance to this federal regulation in the occupied territories, but many places expressed their willingness to strongly support it.

In fact, in the final analysis, there are only a few reasons why the situation in Marillo has been so chaotic over the years.

First, the central government is too weak and the warlords are too strong. The warlords divide the entire country into regions, and then use racial hatred to rule these people and make people hate each other.

Second, poverty.

Poverty is the original sin, and only a handful of warlords develop cities and people's livelihood under the rule of warlords. People living in Mariro can only be forced to accept a chaotic country.

If you want to survive, the only way is to join the chaos.

The social order in the occupied area is now stable, and the federal people have also given everyone many job opportunities. Whether it is farming or labor, these are all paid.

When society becomes stable and people have enough to eat, they hope more than anyone else that this peace and stability can continue.

Who is born to like chaos and adventure?

There are many people like the bearded man who have been volunteered by various places. Compared with the so-called "fellowship", becoming a merchant and farmer is obviously more attractive.

Opposition outside the occupied territories mainly comes from the resistance organizations themselves and some international forces.

They believe the federal government's move is inhumane and dehumanizing.

Because once an adult loses both thumbs, he will completely lose his ability to work and become a burden to society.

Such people are often abandoned by their families, or lead their entire families into hell.

People in the non-occupied areas were frightened. They protested and opposed it, but the federal government seemed not to hear these voices.

Within the federal country, some media have also talked about this matter. Among them, a program on Blackstone TV specifically interviewed Mr. Lynch over the phone.

During the interview, the host asked Lynch, "Do you think such an approach is consistent with humanitarian principles?"

"Will it have some impact on the Federation's international image?"

Lynch's answer is quite simple -

"Etiquette, integrity, morality, kindness, all these excellent qualities are spoken from a human perspective to other similar humans."

"We will get it from our elders and we will teach our children so that they can maintain these good qualities."

"But I hope people can discern the fact that there are some people who just look like people."

"Some orangutans look like humans, so why don't we treat them the same way we treat humans?"

"Because we know that they are not human. No matter how human-like they are, they are not human."

"As for Marillo, we actually face the same problem. I think we can't blindly think that they are all human beings or that they are not human beings at the moment."

"Modern society has given more labels to human beings. Only when they evolve to meet the lowest level of our judgment of human beings will we recognize them as human beings."

"We have a way of treating humans, just like those people in the south. We give them work, they reward us with the results, we share the gains with each other, and the society is harmonious and stable."

"But for those in the north, I think tough measures are necessary at this time. We have to let them understand that this society is orderly and has rules."

"Wandlessly breaking the rules will only bring bad consequences. Only in this way will they know what they can and cannot do, and abide by these rules."

The host briefly interrupted Lynch and said, "Mr. Lynch, no offense intended, what you said sounds like those animal trainers talking about how to tame wild beasts."

Lynch asked, "Isn't it?"

"They attacked our camp, killed our people, and destroyed the foundation of all peace!"

"If at this time we still have to talk about ethics and morality with a group of murderers and executioners, and add a piece of beef to their lunch because of their beliefs!"

"Then when I go to heaven, how will I have to deal with those damn soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Federation and us?"

"Tell them that because these sons of bitches killed them, we give them warm cells, sensible clothes, a whole fucking piece of beef for lunch, and two hours of sunshine a day?"

"Go to hell!"

"I really can't think of any way to treat these people except death and cruelty. If you ask me, the current policies are too damn mild. All these rebels should be killed."

The host promptly cut off the call, then smiled slightly awkwardly but not politely in front of the camera, "Sorry, the line was suddenly disconnected, but thank you Lynch for accepting our interview."

"He's right!"

Just when the host was about to say something, an audience member suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Mr. Lynch is right, those sons of bitches should be killed!"

An old man stood up. He looked to be only a little over five feet (about 1.6 meters). His hair was gray and his body was a little thin.

The camera was immediately given to him, allowing people to see how old he was.

He looked at the host and kept nodding, "Mr. Lynch is right."

"My children, my grandchildren, are all dead."

The old man looked at the host and his eyes quickly turned red.

"They wanted to do something for this country, but when they died, they died in Marillo."

"Sometimes I want to go there, pick up a gun, and kill everyone if I can."

“But my wife still needs someone to take care of her.”

"If we have to take care of these people, what do we, the families, who sacrificed their lives for the Union, matter?"

He looked directly at the host, with a terrifying power in his eyes that forced the host to look away.

"Mr. Lynch is right!"

"They are not human!"

The show topped the ratings in both daytime reruns (morning and afternoon) the next day, and many people said Lynch's words were what they felt.

People also felt sad for the old man whose family members died in the war.

This has also become the reason why those "war criminals" cannot be forgiven. In the Federation, no one talks about whether the treatment of those war criminals is excessive——

Yes, the federal government has declared that all armed rebels in Marillo are war criminals. They have all committed war crimes.

Now even if we tell the entire Federation that all these war criminals are to be hanged, no one will say a word for them!

The indigenous people of the Federation will not say that, let alone the immigrant groups. When there is a clear political direction, one should not violate the natural laws of the development of things.

Going against the trend is admirable, but what is admirable is only the courage to face the world and have the courage to collide, not the behavior itself.

Just like a person who eats shit, you may admire him for being able to open his mouth and still swallow it, but you don’t think about it, “I’ll eat some too sometime.”

Of course, people will no longer pay attention to those war criminals who receive special treatment. After all, anything done to them is allowed!

The war in Marillo has actually entered the middle and late stages. Even in the northern region, there is no large-scale resistance, only sporadic attacks.

Next, the Federation's main attention was focused on Nagaril, and a large number of army and navy were sent to Nagaril to perform combat missions.

Here we have to mention Lynch's "Midway Plan", which gave the Air Force great tactical freedom and strategic space throughout the Eastern Ocean.

They can take off directly from the Federation and fly to any place radiated by the Eastern Ocean Range, or they can fly directly to Nagaril.

The Air Force mobilizes faster and more easily, all because of Lynch.

Now it seems that these early investments are still very worthwhile.

At least it can prove that it is not a project with a clever name to defraud the budget, but actually plays a role.

Speaking of Nagaril, it is really annoying.

The natives of Nagaril seem to have a natural insensitivity to war. You can't tell how they feel.

After Pengeo's army landed, no one from the Nagaril side stood up to resist!

They even watched so calmly as Pengeo's army broke through the defense lines outside the city and entered the city. Then everyone did what they should do.

The Pengeo people were also at a loss. They thought they would encounter resistance from the locals, but it seemed

This does not seem to be the case, and some Pengeo people even asked the Nagaril natives to work for them, such as moving things and doing some simple construction work, and the locals actually did it honestly.

As long as you give them a little money, they will complete the task seriously!

When the news came back to the Pengeo Empire, the emperor was shocked by the taming of the Nagaril natives, and at the same time he also had an understanding.

As long as you own Nagaril, you have hundreds of millions of obedient and conscious slaves!
