Chapter 407 The Confused Franklin
When the two frustrated generals gathered together to discuss whether there was any other deep meaning behind the Federation's order to transfer them, Franklin on Rubion 5 fell into confusion.
After the war on Rubian 5, this ambitious young man successfully entered the work of the Rubian system's autonomous government, and after being sworn in, he joined one of the two major political parties that took turns in power. , which is also the federal Republican Party as the current opposition party.
Excellent work ability, coupled with some 'little moves' carried out by Atlas behind the scenes, made Franklin quickly become a rising political star, and also directly joined the Republican National Committee - this is An important agency within the party responsible for organizing and coordinating federal Republican campaign activities and promoting Republican policies.
Generally speaking, it is extremely rare in the party to be able to enter this organization at Franklin's age and come from a galaxy that is not considered the core, so many people turn to him. the target of attention.
If Franklin can continue to develop step by step, his future achievements in the federal Republican Party will certainly not be low.
But right now, this ambitious young man who is envied by many of his peers is not as high-spirited as many people imagine.
In the administrative capital of Lubion No. 5, in an apartment newly built with the help of Atlas, Franklin was lying on the bed in his room in confusion.
In the just-concluded internal closed-door meeting, the Lubion System Autonomous Government has just agreed to a secret resolution to speed up the progress of cutting off from the Atlas Group.
Although the cooperation between the Lubion System Autonomous Government and the Atlas Group has been relatively close since the beginning of the recovery operation at that time, the Atlas Group was even more involved in the reconstruction of Lubion 5 after the war. It took a lot of energy.
But judging from the recent developments in the federal government, the situation of Atlas Group in the federation has become more subtle. Even the Republican Party, which has always been at odds with the federal Democratic Party, is rarely on the same position on this matter. superior.
In this case, the Rubian Galaxy Autonomous Government naturally does not want to be the first person, and the federal government has also extended its'paws' to intervene.
Sam, the administrative adjutant of the galaxy who was previously responsible for docking with Atlas, was found to have received a large amount of illegal income. According to the wartime laws, he was directly fired and imprisoned.
Immediately afterwards, a series of officials related to Atlas were dismissed from their posts and investigated. However, the galactic autonomous government was extremely cooperative in this matter of "cutting off its own arms". He looks like he is "sworn to fight to the death against the evil forces".
Yes, within the federal government and the autonomous governments of various galaxies, the Atlas Group has been labeled as a 'large evil force'.
Although many galaxies are still purchasing various products from Atlas, purchasing is purchasing and joining forces is taking sides. At least these galaxies have stopped various public cooperation activities with Atlas.
There is nothing objectively wrong with the measures taken by the Lubion Galaxy Autonomous Government, or the Federal Republican Party's approach. It is actually a good thing to be able to unite when facing an 'external threat'.
However, the federal government directly intervened in the internal affairs of the galaxy, and the galaxy autonomous government - especially the opposition party's autonomous government did not raise any protest. This still gave Franklin a feeling of "broken filter", and in the end he still returned We have reached the old path of 'talking about doctrines but thinking about business'.
“Why do they think it’s so easy to complete the cutting?”
Franklin was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly, feeling worried for no reason.
But this worry is not about Atlas, but the concern that the rapid separation from Atlas will cause certain turbulence within the Rubbion system.
You must know that in the reconstruction work and ship production projects, the Atlas Group has provided a large number of jobs, especially in the various industrial chains rebuilt on the Lubion 5. Almost all All are controlled by Atlas Group.
So these companies have also continued the more humane work experience of Atlas Group. Compared with other local companies, employee satisfaction is simply different. Because of this, basically all the rare talents on Lubion 5 are concentrated in various companies controlled by the Atlas Group.
This is also easy to understand. A company with excellent salary, benefits, and working environment, and which does not promote overtime, and a company with average benefits but daily involution, Anyone who is not a fool can make a choice.
But similarly, these companies controlled by Atlas have also become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of other companies in the Lubion galaxy.
The treatment of these local enterprises is generally average, and there are often overbearing clauses, which makes local young people reluctant to come.
As a result, without the introduction of excellent talents, the competitiveness of products has never been improved. The lack of competitiveness of products directly leads to the deterioration of corporate operating efficiency.
Then we fall into an endless cycle of being unable to improve employee benefits because of poor corporate performance.
If Atlas is really kicked out at this time, these local companies will definitely be like Like hyenas, they gathered around to carve up the 'carcass' it left behind in the Lubion system.
Franklin believed that with the poor nature of those local enterprises, it was absolutely impossible to arrange production work according to Atlas's habits.
When the time comes, the disparity in work and remuneration is likely to amplify public opposition.
Especially at the critical moment when Lubion 5 has just been rebuilt and the residents’ lives are just getting back on track, it is easy for such a problem to arouse public anger
You know, Atlas Group currently enjoys a relatively high reputation among the people of Lubion 5.
Not only did they fight here and help regain the lost territory, but they also assisted in the reconstruction work and provided a large number of jobs, as well as their subsequent corporate videos and battlefield live broadcasts. A move.
These things are easy to gain support among the people, which also leads to the Lubion System Autonomous Government must carefully handle the public sentiment, otherwise it is likely to trigger a new round of violent conflicts.
Franklin couldn't help but think of the controller of Atlas whom he had met at the cocktail party. His analysis of various problems within the federation impressed him deeply.
When talking about the cooperation between Atlas and the Rubber System Autonomous Government, Amber said like a joke, 'False prosperity is only temporary.' Now it seems to be confirmed. possible.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Franklin couldn't help but have such an idea, but he knew that such an idea was very dangerous and extremely 'politically incorrect', If he was discovered, he might be labeled as treasonous.
But he still couldn't help but watch his hometown fall into chaos again after finally escaping from the war and making progress on the road to development.
At this moment, the program being broadcast on the holographic screen in the apartment was interrupted and replaced by an urgent news break.
“According to the latest news, in the northern city of Jayne, thousands of citizens took to the streets and confronted the military and police to protest against the local employment difficulties caused by Atlas Group
It is understood that the chemical plants controlled by the Atlas Group have almost monopolized the market in the northern region in a short period of time, which directly caused the bankruptcy of several old local companies and laid off a large number of employees. Today's demonstrations and protests are very It may be related to this matter.
The Galaxy Autonomous Government has urgently summoned the person in charge of the Atlas Group in the Lubion Galaxy”
"Are we going to start taking action, and use another group of civilians who have not benefited to put pressure on Atlas?"
Franklin sat up and looked at the news on the holographic screen carefully. , and began to think about it in his mind.
