Cosma Empire

With the official voice of the empire, some things have reversed, most notably the issue of those slaves.

The cabinet listened to the proposal submitted by Otto, and finally decided to adopt this shameless approach of During to reverse the disadvantage of the empire in international public opinion. Although some bigwigs felt that it was a bit shameless to do so, under the full promotion of Magus and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, all members of the cabinet passed this method of inverting black and white. Soon a large number of reporters poured into the west, where they saw a clean and tidy camp.

Not all the refugees are willing to continue to return to the damn mine to mine. After receiving the subsidy from the mine owner, more refugees temporarily obey the arrangement of the state government and camp on the outskirts of some cities waiting for more specific resettlement. For those refugees who are willing to cooperate, they are all arranged around capitals like Vallier. Their mental outlook is better and their clothes are very clean. Issues that need to be uncovered.

These people have jumped from slaves to escapees and have directly evolved into noble professions like actors. Facing numerous reporters and constantly flashing spotlights, they tearfully complained about their original country to the whole society.

"Someone asked me if I wanted to go back to my country when I was being persecuted, and my answer was no. I would rather die on this land than go back to my country, because in There I am also likely to die anytime and anywhere. On the contrary, I can fill my stomach here, and I don’t need to think about how I can get a bite of food that can sustain my life like in the past, and I don’t need to crawl in a low voice Begging for a morsel at the feet of those tyrants."

"In Yaoxing Empire, even though they treated me in the cruelest way that people say, I still feel happier here than in my homeland."

"Today, I regained my freedom. I thank the cabinet of Yaoxing Empire, Mr. Du Lin, Mr. Amon, and you friendly reporters. If someone asks me if I want to go back now, I will tell him, Kill me and I will not go. Living in such a happy country, you may not be able to imagine the brutality of the tyrant, maybe just because the color of your clothes makes the tyrant feel that it does not match the surrounding environment, he will order his soldiers shoot you dead."

"It may also be because you speak too loudly and make him feel that you don't respect him, so he will have your tongue cut off."

"In my homeland, people have to face a lot of dangers every day, because you don't know when the tyrants will let you go back to the kingdom of heaven for whatever reason. But here, in this rich and civilized country , I finally feel the humanistic care and warmth that I should feel as a human being integrated into the society. Look, this is our current food. In addition to a piece of beef, there are some plant leaves and meal bags. This kind of food is in my The country can only be eaten by those big men..."

Just minutes from the man who lived under a tyrant so miserable that he felt like a slave to the empire,

Not far from the guy who is happier than being a commoner under the rule of a tyrant, another refugee is also talking about his feelings to the reporters.

"I've never seen such a peaceful country. I'm not trying to be ironic about what's happened to me. I mean it. I've never seen such a peaceful country. In my hometown, Many people may only have sixteen years in their lives. I wonder if every boy, as long as he reaches the age of sixteen, will be taken away by the village and sent to the battlefield to fight a disgraceful war. Until now we don’t know why there is War, why is the war never over, we don't even know who is fighting and who is fighting us!"

"Sometimes there are some problems in the battle on the front line, such as losing the line of defense and so on. At this time, children of fourteen and fifteen years old will go to the battlefield and fight with a group of children of their age until one side Retreat. In such an environment, out of a hundred men, only three or five can survive to adulthood, and most of these men are children of noble families."

"Here, I want to thank those smuggling organizations that buy and sell people. They let me out of the sea of ​​suffering. I am already 22 years old, and they let me live for six more years. No matter what happened to me in these six years, whether I don’t mind if my life is good enough. Because I have a grateful heart, at least I’m still alive, and I can still stand here and tell you something you don’t know.”

"What...abuse? No, no, no, it's not abuse to me. A well-meaning mine owner paid me to take me in and gave me a job that would feed me. Although it was hard work, but I am very happy. Mining makes me happy, and living makes me happy. I don’t hate anyone, but I thank them.”, the young man took off his shirt to reveal his strong body, and he patted himself "Those of you who haven't experienced endless wars, it's hard to feel my satisfaction with life now!"

The reporters from the empire and the international reporters just opened their mouths like idiots and watched these refugees who might only come out of the mine for a week and were once called slaves. The purpose of these reporters appearing here is to break a big news. By interviewing these abused and unfairly treated slaves, they will announce to the whole world the cruelty of the Yaoxing Empire, and tell everyone that this is a place where morality has fallen and human relations have collapsed. nation.

But... why is it different from what I imagined?

It doesn't matter if the reporters belonging to the empire are involved, they are all political missions anyway, and in this continuous report, all newspapers are very clear about how to position themselves. This is not a good time to grandstand and gain attention. Anyone who disrupts the current inexplicable situation is very likely to end badly. Not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is saying, the cabinet is saying, even some gangsters are telling the operators of the newspaper office to take care of the reporter's pen and the daily report, otherwise they will be killed like a few sheets of paper as on the employee list.

"Mr. Dühring is here..."

Someone in the distance shouted, and more and more people followed the shout, whether it was reporters or refugees, they all started to walk in the direction of Du Lin. With the cabinet agreeing to try out the Common Resettlement Act in the west, Dooling became the one-man showman. It took him almost twenty minutes to call Magus himself before he took the matter into his own hands. For Magus, someone is willing to contribute money and efforts to help the cabinet resolve this matter as soon as possible. Even if something goes wrong, the official does not need to take any responsibility, and can earn a lot of prestige from it, so why not let Durin try it? try?

For During, these people will become important pawns for him to firmly control the West, even if he has made some sacrifices, it is worth it. More importantly, he must show his usefulness to the empire and the cabinet, so that Magus and those in the cabinet will not come to trouble him.

Du Lin walked in the protection of several guards in clean and tidy formal attire. He kept waving, nodding and saying hello to the people around him. Du Lin's recognition and gratitude are sincere. If it hadn't been for Du Lin to operate it, maybe they are still digging desperately in the mine.

The reporters rushed over in a swarm, shouting the questions they wanted to ask, trying to find some unique news points from Du Lin. Du Lin ignored these people. Now there are not only reporters from the empire, but also reporters from other countries in the world. Any words that may be of a position may hurt the fragile dignity of some countries, so he does not publish any comments.

After the crowd had been noisy for a while, it became quiet for a while, and Du Lin walked to a stage, facing so many refugees and so many reporters, he said loudly: "This morning, the cabinet decided to appoint three states. It is my honor and a test for me to handle your resettlement issues with the state government and myself.” Du Lin sighed with a smile, “If you have good ideas or need my cooperation place, please tell me."

"Because of the need to respect your different religious beliefs, different lifestyles and other factors, we will temporarily build three towns in the west to accommodate more than 537,000 people registered in the current statistics. At the same time, the state governments of the three states will also provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure the most basic living conditions for everyone. There will be a series of preferential policies for consortiums, enterprises and individuals who are willing to invest in infrastructure in the three new towns policy."

"In addition, according to the ideas and suggestions put forward by the cabinet, in accordance with the provisions of the "Ordinary Resettlement Act", starting today, all refugees will be granted temporary imperial citizenship and enjoy the same rights and obligations as imperial citizens. Temporary imperial After three cycles, citizenship will be automatically transformed into formal and permanent imperial citizenship. Here I need to remind everyone that we count on a yearly cycle. In any cycle, if any of you leaves the empire and leaves If the time exceeds sixty days, the civil rights of the empire will be permanently lost."

"Similarly, within three cycles, if someone violates the laws of the place where you live, and you are found guilty through court trials, not only will you lose your imperial citizenship forever, but you will also be expelled from the empire."

"When you obtain formal permanent imperial citizenship, you will no longer be affected by the above two restrictions..."

Finally someone spoke human words, this is the same feeling of all reporters at this time.
