Chapter 449 Cold-blooded

Chapter 449 Cold-blooded

The first thing that Inoue Jinwu had to face was the pressure from the opposing forces.

The foot basin is now in a state of devastation, with flames everywhere.

The pressure of trying to comfort someone is extremely great.

He has contacted Ichiro Kobayashi several times, hoping that they can sit down and have a good talk about what to do after the eagles are withdrawn.

But he didn't get any response.

In fact, Ichiro Kobayashi has already made his request on online media.

His main requirements are as follows:

First, comprehensive reforms must be carried out and the King of Foot Basin must be deposed.

Because the king does not work, he is a complete parasite, and his whole family is mentally retarded.

Why should we support a family of mentally retarded people?
What is the point of providing tens of billions of dollars every year for them to squander?
After so many years of modernization, do we still have to stick to the theory of bloodline?

This theory of bloodline is the biggest obstacle to the development of foot basin.

In fact, most of the forces in the world are obsessed with the theory of bloodline.

The foot basin is even worse.

In Jiaoben, families involved in politics have always held high positions.

They will support their own people from generation to generation and then control the government.

Over the years of foot basin modernization, it can be said that it has basically been managed by more than a dozen large families taking turns.

Class stratification is very serious.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get to the top.

It's so scary!

If the foot basin loses its channel for upward mobility and ordinary people cannot rely on their talents to reach high positions, then there will never be true fairness.

The foot basin bloodline theory is deeply rooted even in the minds of ordinary people.

Ordinary people feel that politics is too complicated and it would be safer if it were controlled by the aristocratic families.

This is even reflected in the comics of Foot Basin.

For example: In the famous comic work of Jiaoben, the protagonist initially gives people the impression that he comes from a grassroots background.

However, in the end, the readers will find out that after all this time, the protagonist is actually an illegitimate son of a noble family, who has fallen to the bottom of society for various reasons.

In other words, you ordinary people don’t even have the qualifications to be the protagonist.

If the theory of bloodline is not abolished and the aristocracy does not disappear, then the foot basin will never be able to truly integrate into modern civilization.

If you think about it carefully, all the big and small powers in Lizard Country actually support a royal family.

There are many nobles.

And they are still boasting about their modern civilization and talking about cooking oil.

Isn't this ridiculous?
Therefore, the first demand put forward by Ichiro Kobayashi was to abolish the king and the aristocratic class.

The second requirement put forward by Ichiro Kobayashi was to carry out nationalization reform.

The private properties that have been occupied by those wealthy and powerful families for who knows how many years will all be taken back by the authorities and owned by the people for their own enjoyment.

As mentioned before, ordinary people in the foot basin have almost no place to stand.

The land is basically controlled by wealthy and powerful families.

All the large enterprises that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood are also owned by the ancient chaebols.

Ordinary people starting a business?

You can start, but you will never be able to develop.

Because, once you are about to develop, the chaebols will use various means to reap the benefits.

Ordinary people can only do some small business and package themselves as sushi masters or something like that.

My father opened a grocery store, and my descendants have to take care of that grocery store.

Even if business is bad, we have to hold on.

Therefore, ordinary people can only work like oxen and horses in a foot basin and it is impossible for them to become truly rich and powerful.

Ichiro Kobayashi felt that this situation must also change.

If nothing changes, the basin will become a pool of stagnant water.

Kobayashi Ichiro's two requests spread all over the Internet.

The vast majority of ordinary people support it.

So this is the most difficult thing.

The cows and horses are unwilling to continue being cows and horses and demand fairness.

However, Inoue Kanetake would definitely not support this request.

Because, supporting this demand is tantamount to completely overturning the foot basin.

It was tantamount to sweeping away the king and the nobles.

How can this be done?
This is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, Inoue Kintake had to consider how to appease the people.

Only by pacifying the people and making them stop following Ichiro Kobayashi's nonsense, can their class continue to exist for a long time.

But how easy is it to appease the people?
Today, Jiaoben cannot even be self-sufficient in food.

You have to at least get enough food to feed those troublemakers, give them a job so they can live and work in peace, and only then can you calm down this chaotic situation.

The foot basin cannot produce so much food by itself.

The food self-sufficiency rate of Jiaoben is only over 30 percent.

Moreover, food prices are very high.

The agriculture in Jiaoben is basically controlled by the Agricultural Cooperative.

The Agricultural Cooperative Association appears to be an association, but in fact it is a big chaebol.

The grain produced by farmers must be sold to them, and they will set a unified price and then sell it nationwide.

The price that farmers pay for their grain is not too high.

This results in farmers or tenant farmers not being able to earn much income from growing crops.

The situation was indeed very favorable before the outbreak, with a large amount of foreign exchange available for purchasing food.

But now, the foreign exchange has basically been squandered!

The local authorities simply do not have enough money to purchase food and then sell it to the people at a fair price.

This is a terrible problem.

If you can't feed the people, they will of course protest. In order to survive, they have no choice but to take risks.

Moreover, the foot basin industry is now very declining.

Many companies collapsed in the competition.

Many high-quality companies were also forcibly relocated by Giant Eagle.

The remaining companies can only provide very few job opportunities.

Of course, the local authorities can also provide people with some work-for-relief by giving them some jobs to do, so that they can use the money they earn from work to support themselves.

But the authorities don’t have much money.

Finances are extremely tight.

Some people may say that the authorities can just print money. Wouldn’t it be easier to solve this problem by turning on the printing press?

The key point is: the extra money you print will lead to more serious inflation.

At the beginning, after World War I, Hans started the printing press to print a large amount of money in order to pay the reparations.

In the end, a piece of bread cost 50 marks, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive.

The result was that an art student raised his arm and called for action.

Inoue Jinwu is a little overwhelmed.

He specially convened a meeting attended by the bigwigs.

At the meeting, he told the chaebols about the emergency situation they were facing.

After he finished, he said, "Gentlemen, there is a problem with the foot basin, and we need everyone to work together to find a solution."

"Everyone, I hope you can donate money and food, and I hope you can provide more job opportunities."

"We must ensure that ordinary people can have a job, have enough food to eat, and have a secure life."

"Only in this way can we rest assured." "Otherwise, I suspect that after the eagles leave, the people will take violent actions against us."

"By that time, we might be robbed and our wealth won't be safe."

Inoue Kintake deliberately frightened these chaebols.

He hopes that the chaebols can work together to face the national crisis, donate money and materials, and overcome the difficulties.

However, no one responded to Inoue Jinwu, even though he talked until his mouth was dry.

The representatives of the chaebols, on the other hand, complained bitterly about how difficult their lives were and how they needed support from the authorities.

Some chaebols said that their businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy because they cannot get orders from outside.

Some chaebols said that they are in a very difficult situation now. They have no money at all in their accounts and their family members and children cannot even afford three meals a day.

Some chaebols said that their factories and warehouses had been robbed many times, and that the security in their hometown is very poor and there is no good business environment at all. If this continues, they will have to consider moving their businesses abroad.

Anyway, everyone is crying poor.

Anyway, they all said that they really wanted to help Inoue Jinwu and Jiaoben, but it was difficult for them and they also needed help from the authorities.

Inoue Kintake held a meeting for several hours but failed to raise even a single cent.

No chaebol was willing to provide job opportunities.

They also hope that Kanetake Inoue can save the company.

Inoue Kintake threatened these chaebols that if they did not act together with the authorities, they would easily be overthrown by the peasants in the future, and then all their wealth would be gone.

But the chaebols are not so easily frightened.

The so-called capitalists have no country.

They will go wherever there is money to be made and wherever their wealth can be guaranteed to be safe.

Moreover, they usually have three burrows.

Much of their wealth has now been transferred to various parts of the world.

For example, they bought a lot of land and built a lot of enterprises in Samba Country, which was actually for risk hedging.

The land of Foot Basin seems to be cursed.

It is a barren and mountainous place with no fertile land and no resources.

Moreover, there are many disasters here.

After Jiaoben became rich, he worked hard to build a lot of beautiful infrastructure.

Unfortunately, it has many earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes.

A lot of infrastructure was damaged by an earthquake shortly after it was built.

Many beautiful villages were devastated when a hurricane hit, and all the houses were blown down.

Moreover, many people are spreading a rumor: a super earthquake is likely to occur in the foot basin.

This earthquake will be so huge that the basin will most likely sink directly.

By that time, the foot basin will no longer exist.

Therefore, the elites in the foot basin are all cunning and have three burrows.

They usually buy assets in safe places overseas.

They generally also have overseas identities.

If the foot basin really suffers a tragedy of destruction, they can leave early.

For such a group of people, do you want them to stand with you?

I think I'm blind.

After this meeting, Inoue Kintake felt very sad.

He had a premonition that this time the building might really collapse.

Because, all signs indicate that the opposition forces have already developed a lot of strength in both the Foot Basin Army and the JC.

This is not a good sign.

Just when Inoue Jinwu was at a loss, Snyder, the general manager of the Eagle Basin Base, called him and wanted to invite him over for a talk.

Inoue Jinwu took the bus and left.

After meeting Snyder, Inoue Jinwu shook Snyder's hand and said, "Mr. Snyder, this is too sudden."

"I don't understand why you guys want to leave all of a sudden."

Snyder smiled and said, "Why? Are you still attached to us?"

"I felt like you were eager for us to leave!"

Inoue Jinwu smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "No, no! We definitely don't mean that!"

“We are actually very grateful to you.”

"You have done a lot for our safety."

"It's too late to say anything now," Snyder said.

"We will definitely leave! And, this is certain!"

"We are packing up now and expect to be done within a month."

"I called you here this time because I want you to tell your people that we are leaving soon. Why do you keep harassing us?"

It turned out that the Eagle Army had already made it clear that it was going to retreat.

However, opposition forces continue to harass.

This made the Eagle Army a little annoyed.

That's why Snyder called Inoue Jinwu over.

Inoue Jinwu shook his head and said, "Mr. Snyder, do you still think that we are commanding those opposition forces?"

Snyder asked, "Isn't it?"

"Without your instructions, how could so many people cause trouble day and night?"

“This really puzzles me.”

Inoue Jinwu said: "Those guys are scum!"

"If you look at the information on the Internet, you will know that they are actually against our king, and they are now also dreaming of overthrowing us."

"In fact, now we are in the same boat."

“It’s actually very difficult for us too.”

Snyder was surprised: "So that's how it is."

"So, does this mean that if we want the harassment to stop, we have to talk to the opposition?"

Inoue Jinwu said: "I don't think they will talk to you."

"I read their demands on you online. They ask you to leave the foot basin as soon as possible. All heavy equipment must be left behind."

Snyder thought thoughtfully. He had never seen these things.

"Mr. Inoue, what are you going to do in the future?"

Inoue Jinwu shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"We can only take one step at a time."

“Now, no one wants to save the foot basin.”

“Everyone wants to get away from here.”

"It's a sad thing."

“I don’t know how to comfort you, man,” Snyder said.

"I hope you can have a better result."

"Hmm! Are you in touch with the leaders of those opposing forces?"

Inoue Jinwu nodded: "We once hoped to bribe those guys."

"But, unfortunately, they refused to agree to our terms."

"Now, the main problem is that many people in the foot basin can't survive. So, they want to change the status quo."

Snyder said: "You guys are such rubbish. How did you end up in this situation with such a good hand?"

Inoue Jinwu complained in his heart: I am qnmalgb!
If it weren't for your exploitation, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation!

You even looted all our foreign exchange reserves, all our gold reserves! We don't even have money to buy food! Bastards! (End of this chapter)
