At the same time, the media at home and abroad focused on the West. A miner named Federer took the lead. He decided to announce a series of problems in the west of the Empire to the whole society, which made the west mine very passive. Before that, they had been subjected to a series of attacks, plus those charges that did not exist at all, and the remaining four executive members were already in a mess. Now Federer''s betrayal made their situation more dangerous. If they were not careful, they would bear the blame for the slavery phenomenon in the whole west.
The silence and inaction of the cabinet seem to be more certain. Perhaps the cabinet hopes to throw the moral burden to the western mining association through such a press conference. There is no better way to deal with it.
As for how to end later, this is definitely not a happy thing.
The room was filled with smoke. Four people who looked extraordinary sat or stood with cigarettes in their hands and the ashtrays around them were filled with cigarette butts. For six hours, they still didn''t think of a way to get them through the crisis safely.
There are two of their biggest crises. The first is the hidden rules of western mining that Federer will disclose tomorrow. The most fatal one is about the use of slaves. It is well known to use cheap slaves to mine in the West. The extremely low price of slaves can minimize the cost of mining, a high-risk industry. No one cares whether the environment in the mine will let some people break out of sudden diseases and die, and they don''t need to pay their high salaries. Just let them fill their stomachs, they can send ore out of the mine continuously.
All mine owners are using slaves, which has almost become the standard configuration of mining industry. No one has ever questioned whether the use of slaves, including the existence of slavery, meets the requirements of morality and law. From top to bottom, from mine owners to state governments, everyone agrees with the system.
Not only the cost is low, but also there will be no major accidents. This is the perfect choice.
But this perfect choice has pushed the Western Mining Association into the abyss. Those guys who have nothing to do with the West and mining will tear them apart. Just as they heard that some orphanage managers let children do some skilled work, their anger, curse and condemnation of those scum do not need to bear additional costs, but also show their sense of social responsibility.
Some of those scumbags are dead and some are in prison. Now the situation has just reversed. This may be one of their end.
Public opinion will form a huge storm and tear them to pieces. In order to calm the anger inside and outside the Empire, the cabinet will deal with some people severely.
Dealing with those mine owners certainly does not play a deterrent role, nor does it reflect the importance of the Empire in dealing with these problems. Only by dealing with the main personnel of an organization with great influence such as the west mine association can we make everyone''s boiling moral tide that is about to gush out of their nostrils gradually subside.
The second crisis comes from the inside of the Western Mining Association. If only slavery exists in the west, their end will never be good-looking, but it will never be miserable. They did not formulate such rules, nor did they maintain such rules. They are just representatives of an industry. The punishment that is severe enough but does not involve life safety is enough to show the determination of the imperial legal system.
However, once the problem is triggered, some people in the West Mining Association will waver and extend more scandals, which may really kill them.
Like Federer, he is the first and can''t be the last. When the ship is about to be silent, some people always want to save themselves. What the Western Mining Association has done in the West these years may not be clear to outsiders, but the members of the Western Mining Association know very well. They manipulated the price of ore in the west by various means, and opened up a bright road for the admission of big capitalists by joining hands with some illegal armed forces. In addition, they are also suspected of infiltrating and buying government officials, forging documents and concealing business income.
None of these illegal things will kill them if they are pulled out alone, but they will not live until the end of this year if they are put together in the sun and judged by the society.
"Is there any way to get in touch with Federer?", a silver gray man in his sixties took a hard sip of his cigarette and said while spraying smoke: "It''s better to have a private talk with Federer so that he doesn''t expose more inside information, which is a good thing for him and us. As long as he can promise, I believe many people will still be on our side."
Another middle-aged man with flaxen hair and somewhat depressed appearance shook his head. He grabbed the wine bottle around him and took a big sip, "Federer doesn''t seem to be in the West now. He may have hidden in order to detonate the bomb. I really don''t understand what good he did to him. We will be unlucky. All organizations and individuals involved in mining will be unlucky. All mining will face review. What''s he doing for?" , he can''t figure it out, which is what everyone can''t figure out.
The situation has clearly gone in a bright direction. The mobs of the freedom front have been wiped out, and the mining trade in the West has begun to recover. The west, which has never been attacked again, has the appearance of the previous stable peace period. Why does Federer have to pick out to make trouble at this time?
Another guy with light blond hair frowned and asked, "does it have anything to do with the previous attack? Someone is targeting our West Mining Association, and Federer may be bought by them. As long as we fall down, they can control the west?"
The old man with silver gray hair nodded, "it''s possible that the enemies we face are only those big capitalists besides mennon, and the enemy is between them. But we''re not sure who moved the hand. Do you think kingdees and Olivier will also be one of them?"
This problem made the other three people fall into meditation. The reason why they opposed the big capitalists to join the Western Mining Association and had confrontation was that these big capitalists were too powerful. If they were alone, the western mining association would not be afraid of them. However, if they are accepted into the Western Mining Association, these powerful capital forces will have a place to give full play to their advantages. They will soon replace the Executive Committee and become the new manager of the western mining association through a series of means.
This is also the last thing the executive committee members want to see, so they have adopted the way of group confrontation to constantly make trouble for these people, while maintaining a certain degree of cooperative relationship and not giving them the opportunity to seize the dominant power of the Western Mining Association. If these people are really United for some reason, it is very likely that they did it.
"Do you think... Will there be a share of Du Lin? That guy has had irreconcilable contradictions with us since he came to the west, and I personally think that the assassination of several other executive members has a lot to do with Du Lin, and it may even be that Du Lin ordered his men to do it. Is there any way to find a way to break the situation from Du Lin?"
The room suddenly fell into silence. After this period of confrontation, they had found that Du Lin was a very troublesome young man. He was like a hedgehog or wild hero. He was covered with thorns. Whether it was a kind touch or a hostile collision, he would poke holes in his body.
The silence lasted ten minutes, and the man who never spoke finally spoke, "the current situation is very unfavorable to us, and we don''t have the means to reverse the current situation, so I have a proposal..." he closed his mouth and looked at the other three people, then slightly lowered his voice and said: "Before things get worse, transfer property, transfer family, if you can... Let''s leave the Empire."
"It''s not that I''m too pessimistic, but this time it''s too violent. It''s only barely three months since Hendry and that fool were assassinated. Gentlemen, it took us more than ten years to control the West in our hands, and we paid a lot for it. But now, the enemy is too strong, and we have no choice We can''t stop their greed for power in our hands. I think Turing may be the fuse, but we can''t underestimate those big capitalists. "
"Once everything is clear, we will not usher in the dawn, but a bloody dagger. While we still have such time and opportunity, let''s go, gentlemen, leave this country and go to the federation or beyond. With the wealth we now have, we can quickly rise again anywhere!"
When the small meeting that was destined to have no good results was over, the guy who spoke last took a car and returned to his villa. The villa was full of his private security guards, who nervously watched any wind and grass around. It was very strange that there was no one who was not a security guard to meet him in the villa, and his wife, children and grandchildren disappeared Shadow, which makes the villa more like an office place than a home.
He walked into the study and stopped the security guard from coming in. After locking the door, he sat in his chair and looked out of the window at the dusk for a long time. After about ten minutes, he sipped his mouth, haggardly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. durin, I have told others what you need me to say according to your request. When will my family be free?" , his hands were shaking. After he came back from the west mining association the day before yesterday, he found that the whole villa was empty and everyone disappeared. Then Dooling called him and told him what to do. His family could see a new round of the sun every day.
His heart is dripping blood!
