Chapter 817 Workers' Great Escape (I)
"What now? What now?"
With the warehouse secured, Lille's plan can move to the next step.
Faced with Elliot's questions, Lear finally began to explain how the whole thing was going to be done:
First of all, the whole thing revolves around the allocation of project funds for the Anglo-French Channel. The whole thing is connected based on the redistribution of project funds——
The hostile party is obviously Eurotunnel. This company basically monopolizes the construction, maintenance and daily operation of the British-French channel. The downstream factories are basically interest companies related to them, and they have a very important role in this channel. Big right to speak.
Where there is no order, resources will be distributed through direct violence, but where there is order, everyone must listen to the one with the biggest fist.
The European Community is the organization with the largest say. In order to prevent society from being left with only violence, there is order.
This final distribution of benefits is the reward for people dancing in shackles. As for what methods were actually used?
The European Community only cares about who does the best job of "obeying order" on the surface. It would be even better if it can bring more profits, but this does not apply to this incident.
In this dispute, the shackles they have to wear are: the "Cyberpsychosis Prevention and Treatment Act."
The European Community uses an appointment system to appoint local political officials. Every bill and policy will affect the judgment of superiors on how to appoint local officials. When things that are not allowed appear in society and affect social stability, local political officials will be dismissed by their superiors. Determine it as unqualified, and consider replacing key personnel and changing policies.
What Lille has to do is take things a step further.
"So as a company, either you wipe your ass clean or you get out."
Elliot thought for a moment and asked in his mind:
"If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that every time something goes wrong, some government officials would consider plotting against their superiors? It sounds like the system designed for stability has become unstable instead."
[Lille: I am not here to compete with you on politics. After understanding this matter, tell me what we should do now? 】
"Hmm" Elliot pondered, "post something online?"
[Lille: If pure online public opinion was useful, you would already be a minor political officer now. 】
[Lear: We now have to find a way to get the people who were in the factory at the time. Severns wants them to serve as witnesses for him, testify against the cyberpsychosis incident, and exaggerate the Eurotunnel's production problems as much as possible. 】
"But there's no need to exaggerate."
[Lille: The more exaggerations there are, the worse off the political officer responsible for liaising with Eurotunnel will be, and the more flesh will be ripped off - and to put it bluntly, the more money will be made. 】
[Lille: More money can save more worker friends]
"Huh?" Elliot made a confused voice, "Wait a minute, what about after we rescue the workers? Are we going to keep them here every day?"
[Johnny: Oh, even before I became the boss, I started thinking about how to boss people around. 】
"This is a rational discussion! You can't keep doing this kind of work, right?"
[Lille: You are right, this is the first pot of gold. Now let’s get the first pot of gold and then discuss the other things. 】
Alina drives a small van that looks almost like Columbus Trucking, but made by Citroën.
The car was parked on the outskirts of the port area, and beyond was the industrial area. To enter the factory, you still had to drive ten kilometers across the empty wasteland——
It would be too conspicuous to drive directly over. In the jurisdiction of the European Community, large-scale gun battles are indeed impossible to occur in urban areas, but an RPG can send a car into the sky. As long as someone dies, such a small shooting in an industrial area will The little explosion was too good to cover up.
"Boss, we're here." Alina turned her head to look at Elliot, the co-pilot, "What are we going to do?"
".To poach people from the factory."
“Gouging Eurotunnel?”
"right"
“But as soon as we drive out of the port area, we will find an empty industrial area. All the properties outside are owned by Eurotunnel, or small companies related to them.
If they bring RPGs outside, we'll be doomed. "
"I know, so I asked you to stop here."
Elliot behaved very decisively. Lille asked him to do this, and he also enjoyed it——
Alina is a typical Eastern European beauty, tall and tall, and her face is very much in line with Elliot's imagination. She is not at all the "aristocratic template" for plastic surgery, and is very exotic.
But how?
[Lille: I installed a virus in the factory. 】
"ah?"
Eliot is confused, virus? When was it installed?
".boss?"
Alina shook Elliot tentatively, and the latter quickly responded: "Ahem. I have an agent in the factory, and the time has come."
Elliot paused again, his eyes widening a bit.
"When the time comes, we drive directly to the door. We have a 30-minute action window. From here, to the door and back."
"ah?"
Alina is confused, is this the plan?
[Elliot: Is this really reliable? 】
[Lille: There is indeed a more reliable plan, but we just have to use this plan. 】
Factory No. 2, workers sit in rows in the warehouse, with simple sleeping bags underneath them——
This is their current dormitory.
"Why is the factory going crazy? The machines haven't arrived yet. Why do we need so many people in the factory for maintenance?"
A group of workers were crowded in the warehouse, sleeping directly on sleeping bags, no air conditioning, no shower room, and even going to the toilet had to be reported on the company's OA.
Carl, the man who "held up the shield" for Elliot in the factory accident a few days ago, echoed his coworkers:
"The company is really crazy. There is no overtime pay, and the salary has been deducted. I really want to report them with a phone call."
"Haha, come on, who in Folkestone will make things difficult for Eurotunnel for us?"
"Yes, and now we can't get out. I feel like there's something fishy."
Carl sighed secretly when listening to his coworkers' words--
They earn little and are not well educated, but they are not fools. They know that they are locked up by the company.
And it is most likely because of a cyberpsychosis accident
But they really don't understand: Are they really afraid of the labor inspection department?
[Ding--]
[Emergency Notice: Eurotunnel Safety and Compliance Committee]
[Effective time: Immediately]
[According to the factory's sudden accident and safety assessment, all employees must stay in the factory on standby until further notice. 】
【It is strictly forbidden to leave the factory without permission. Any illegal departure will be regarded as a serious violation of the company's safety regulations and the consequences will be borne by the employee. 】
【The company will conduct identity and safety checks on employees. Please cooperate with the inspection at the designated time. 】
【The production line is temporarily suspended and is expected to resume within 1 hour. At that time, employees need to return to work as planned. 】
【The company will continue to pay normal wages during this period and provide medical and psychological support services. 】
【If you have any questions, please contact your direct manager for further instructions. 】
【Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Ensuring the safety of factory production and all employees is our top priority. 】
【Note: You have been transferred to the emergency production team. According to the provisions of the European Community Labor Inspection Law, the company will use the right to compulsory overtime. You are not allowed to leave the factory without permission before completing the task. 】
Karl was stunned for a moment, and then he and his co-workers went crazy:
"We have been working overtime for a month! Now we are not even allowed to go home?!"
"This is unfair! This is illegal! We have exceeded the mandatory overtime!"
"Let us leave!"
Bang——
The sound of huge footsteps suddenly came from outside the window, and through the glass, they saw the scene outside.
A military mecha landed on the open space of the factory.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze.
At this moment, Karl suddenly found a line of words in front of him:
[Karl, I am Elliot. Eurotunnel intends to lock you up for a long time. I have contacted the political officials of the European Community. They are willing to help us, but you have to rush out. ]
[I have a way to temporarily paralyze the factory security system. I will go back to work on the production line now. ]
[Find a trustworthy co-worker-the European Community will compensate us, a lot of compensation. ]
[Let Eurotunnel pay the price! ]
