Upon hearing that members of the Red Sky Alliance were disguising themselves as ordinary survivors and refugees to fraudulently claim supplies at the aid station set up by the Tianyu Base, Chen Yu's face immediately darkened: "This behavior is nothing short of theft and robbery! The food and supplies that our people have worked so hard to produce in the factories are being wasted like this. We must take immediate action to stop them!"
"Things aren't that simple," Qiao Meng said with a wry smile.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "What do you mean?"
“Tianyu Base is conducting humanitarian aid, which is a good thing in itself. The Red Sky Alliance members are indeed a vulnerable group without the ability to sustain themselves, and according to our aid standards, they are indeed within the scope of our aid,” Liu Menghan interjected. “If we directly cut off their supplies and prevent them from receiving aid, it would be a double standard, which might cause some well-meaning base members to question us and affect the unity of the base. Moreover, doing so might also push the Red Sky Alliance into a corner, incite their resistance, and even trigger unnecessary conflicts and violence.”
“Yes, yes, Menghan is right.” Qiao Meng quickly nodded in agreement. “This is a conclusion reached by the base’s think tank. Xiaoliu, how did you know that?”
Liu Menghan smiled slightly and explained, "Based on what you just said and the actual situation, I did some analysis and speculation. Actually, I did some research on crisis management and community governance when I was in college, so I am quite sensitive to these issues."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Meng couldn't help but give Feng Xinran a thumbs up.
"So what should we do about this? We can't just let them be 'holdouts' on our turf, can we? They're an eyesore." Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Hehe, Chen Yu, what are you saying? The Red Sky Alliance is staying there just fine, while our Tianyu Base is constantly expanding. How can you say they are holdouts?" Liu Menghan laughed.
"They eat my food and then curse at me. Can't I just kick them out?" Chen Yu said irritably.
He recalled how, when Tianyu Base faced the H-bomb crisis, he led the militiamen on an early morning journey north to Kyoto to seek a solution.
Not long after leaving Tianyu Base, when passing by Hongtian Alliance, those thugs were singing and cursing him, saying something like "Chen Yu ran away with his tail between his legs."
He was furious, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he didn't argue with them.
Now, seeing this bunch of refugees from the Red Sky Alliance stuck in his magnificent Tianyu Base, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Liu Menghan smiled and said, "Actually, this world doesn't necessarily need to solve problems with violence. Some technologically advanced food produced in factories can keep them in check. Why resort to extreme measures? Our Tianyu Base has inexhaustible energy, and producing this technologically advanced food is a piece of cake. Isn't this the cheapest solution? Besides, having such a 'holdout' rooted in the base isn't entirely a bad thing. At least with them around, they can serve as a negative example for the base's inhabitants, keeping everyone vigilant about external threats and making them realize that the peace and prosperity of our base are hard-won."
“That’s right, that’s what the think tank said too,” Qiao Meng added.
After listening, Chen Yu nodded slightly, seemingly moved by the suggestion. In fact, when the Red Sky Alliance was first established and the location was chosen more than ten kilometers away from the Tianyu Base, he did not immediately drive them away, which was also his idea. However, he was just furious that the mobs of the Red Sky Alliance ate the food produced by the Tianyu Base while cursing the Tianyu Base, and even cursed him, as if he were the leader of some evil organization.
But now that I've calmed down and thought about it, it's really not worth getting angry with such a bunch of bastards. Wouldn't that just be making things harder for myself?
Let them curse. Only those who are truly suffering know the consequences. The fiercer their curses, the more it proves the superiority and righteousness of Tianyu Base.
Moreover, the presence of some overly sympathetic voices within the Tianyu base forced him to consider things more thoroughly.
Those "saintly" people always emphasize tolerance, understanding, and compassion, and oppose any form of harsh measures.
Taking direct action against the Red Sky Alliance would likely provoke strong dissatisfaction among them, and could even trigger internal divisions and conflicts.
One of the criteria for recruiting members at Tianyu Base is that they must be kind-hearted. With this criterion in place, it's hard not to produce so-called "saintly mothers." Chen Yu himself doesn't dislike "saintly mothers." These people aren't bad-hearted, but they are sometimes too idealistic, easily swayed by emotions, and ignore the complexity of reality and the multifaceted nature of humanity.
However, their existence also allowed Tianyu Base to maintain a certain degree of warmth and humanity, which Chen Yu had to admit.
If a person loses even the most basic compassion and kindness, then the world will become incredibly cold and hopeless.
Such a person would surely be thinking about rebelling against Tian Gang and overthrowing his rule all day long!
Chen Yu's ruling philosophy has always been to advocate that fund investors be docile and kind, rather than to promote radical violence.
Perhaps his method of governance will cause the fund's investors to lose some of their fighting spirit, but Chen Yu knows that a stable and strong community needs more than just the fighting spirit and combat power of its investors; it also needs the cohesion of people's hearts and a shared belief.
Being gentle and kind does not mean being weak and easily bullied, but rather a kind of inner peace and tolerance. This strength enables them to unite in adversity and face challenges together.
Furthermore, with the entire planet now under the control of the Tianyu Base, there are no longer any external threats or wars that could threaten the Tianyu Base. Maintaining internal stability is of paramount importance.
As long as those so-called "saints" don't go too far and don't do anything that betrays the core interests of the base or seriously disrupts the base's order, Chen Yu is willing to give them some tolerance and space.
After all, his rule still needs these "saints" to maintain it.
Considering all the pros and cons, Chen Yu temporarily put aside the idea of eliminating the Red Sky Alliance, a thorn in his side.
He shifted his gaze from the Red Sky Alliance slums and refocused his attention on the magnificent and modern buildings of the Tianyu Base.
Then, he patted Lin Lele on the shoulder in the cockpit, pointed to a cluster of buildings below, and said through the internal communication system, "Lele, land up ahead, let's go take a look."
Lin Lele immediately replied, "Yes, sir."
At the same time, Feng Xinran picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed the person on the other end: "Attention, attention, Mr. Chen is about to visit 'Light of the Future'. Please make preparations to welcome him."
