Chapter 456 Changes in Rubion
No matter what era, the ‘civilians’, one of the basic components of the country, are actually a group of people who are easy to coax and appease.
As long as normal production and life can be guaranteed and there is no excessive oppression, no one really wants to do anything.
Most civilian rebellions, riots, uprisings and other incidents in history basically occurred when they were oppressed beyond their 'threshold' and could no longer maintain a normal life.
Otherwise, who would be willing to give up the life in front of them and risk their lives to confront those in power and violent institutions that control most of the force?
They just want to live their own small life, with three meals a day and no worries about food and clothing. No matter what kind of situation the universe is in, as long as it does not affect the place where they are, they can eat and drink as they should, at most. After dinner, chat casually about things other than life.
The women will chat about interesting things about local life and entertainment. Those who are better informed can also use some 'interstellar gossip' to become the center of the chat.
Men, on the other hand, maintain the thousand-year-old tradition of 'keying political affairs', pointing out the country and writing passionately. Today they criticize policies, and tomorrow they become navy marshals to deduce the battle situation
But that's all. People who are easy to coax and appease are also a group of 'selfish' people.
They account for every benefit related to themselves in life, especially those benefits that have been obtained, and they will take it very seriously.
After all, this is human nature. Except for the real saints in the legend, everyone will care about their own interests.
Rebellion and fratricide between relatives due to profit issues happen almost every moment, and this is just for one's friends and relatives.
This kind of problem is more likely to be triggered if it is for other outsiders - such as governments, enterprises, and other public institutions.
The fellow countryman who was having a "fish-and-water" relationship with you one second, after learning that his own interests have been harmed, turned into a "tough guy who dares to kill a horse" the next second.
Such situations are all too common in both the Federation and the Empire. If local governments and functional departments continue to maintain an arrogant attitude in dealing with problems, small conflicts will often intensify and eventually escalate into Riot
This is why the local garrison forces of the Federation and the Empire have extremely rich experience in public security warfare. They will give you a "real combat" every now and then. It is difficult for you to be proficient in it.
Originally, the people of the Lubion Galaxy have been holding back their anger due to the increasing pressure of work and life. The public opinion monitoring department of the Galaxy Autonomous Government has even issued relevant early warnings many times.
In the original words of the report given by the director of the public opinion monitoring department to the top management of the galaxy autonomous government: "The negative emotions among the people in the galaxy are now like a powder keg, and gunpowder is still being poured into it. If it is not dealt with in time, once the negative emotions are completely detonated, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Conduct an interview and ask them to pay more attention in this regard. After all, the situation in the galaxy has only stabilized not long ago, and the public's emotions cannot withstand the torment.
Unfortunately, the top executives who can really make decisions did not listen to these warnings. Under the lobbying of several leading companies and consortiums, they chose to believe that these companies could 'easily solve' these problems. And it can ensure that production and economic activities are not affected.
The final result was that as news spread of salary cuts in all walks of life in the Lubion galaxy, this 'powder keg' was detonated.
No one wants to take a salary cut, especially in these difficult times.
No one is willing to use the money deducted from themselves as wages for others, even if the government and major companies advertise that they will create more jobs and reduce the overall impact of the Lubion system. unemployment rate'.
“Yes, those unemployed people are very pitiful. I also hope that the government can take effective measures to promote employment, but the prerequisite is not to deduct the money I deserve.”
“ The unemployed have nothing to do with me, so why should I give them the money that should be given to me?”
"Those who are unemployed and can't find a job have families to support. Don't we, the people, need to support our families?"
Such remarks have become a more mainstream voice among the people in a short period of time, because absolutely Most people are not willing to let their 'vested interests' be damaged.
Soon, these public opinions ushered in a second evolution, and very smoothly transferred to the Atlas Group. "When Atlas Group was managing before, there weren't so many messy things. Money was still paid, and the daily working hours and intensity could also be controlled."
"Yes. , if Atlas can do it, why can’t local companies and consortiums do it? ”
"If you don't have that ability, I suggest you invite the Atlas Group back."
Look, what does it mean to have a great scholar argue for me~ (tactical retreat)< br>
Without comparison, there is no harm. After affecting their own interests, the people of the Lubion system quickly remembered the goodness of Atlas and lamented that they lived a good life before.
At the same time, more and more voices are beginning to criticize the stupidity of the decision of the autonomous government to decouple from the Atlas Group.
But in fact, this is also part of the Atlas Group's layout in the Lubion Galaxy.
If Amber were asked to evaluate himself, he would not hesitate to say that he and Atlas did not actually do anything good.
After all, the premise for Atlas Group to leave a 'good impression' in people's minds is that Amber and the others sacrificed the interests of another group of people.
Those are the laid off clerks and administrative staff. Most of them are actually ‘ordinary people’ who need to support their families.
At that time, Atlas completed the optimization of its organizational structure and laid off these clerks and administrative staff. Most of them completely lost their income and could only rely on the pitiful relief provided by the galaxy autonomous government. Money comes to support the family.
Amber and the others don’t know these situations?
Of course not. Amber and other senior executives at Atlas not only knew about these situations, but they also knew very well that the lives of those who were fired would also be difficult.
But in order to gain the support of most people in the future, Amber and the others could only choose to sacrifice this small group of people.
So from this perspective, Amber has always felt that he is a 'bad guy', but he is just a well-packaged bad guy.
The development of events after this was basically similar to the eve of most previous riots in the Federation.
It is impossible for the galactic autonomous government and those large enterprises to make profits to the people. In a profit-driven environment, instead of believing that the capitalists can make money for the benefit of the people, it is better to believe that Amber is the ‘child of destiny’.
Their final choice was also very 'traditional' and could even be said to be the repertoire of established capitalists.
If I can’t solve the problem, I can’t solve the person who asked the question?
Large-scale public opinion control began. A large number of "outstanding birds" and opinion leaders were quickly taken down, and various demonstrations and strikes were also "suppressed" very efficiently - ironically, Art The military and police forces that Las Group assisted in training played an important role in this process.
If previous situations were followed, this relatively tough approach would quickly quell the civil unrest.
But this time, the situation is a little different.
Most of the people in the Lubion Galaxy have actually experienced the "good times" when the Atlas Group entered, so they know that such a better life is not a fictional fantasy, but something that can truly be realized.
It’s just that the current galactic autonomous governments and capitalists are unwilling to ‘sacrifice’ their own interests like Atlas so that they can live a better life.
As a result, due to the activities of some speculators and careerists, greater commotions broke out one after another and became out of control.
