Chapter 239
Not long after, the old prime minister, who was sitting in the meeting, finally figured out what was going on.
The purpose of this meeting is to let them know what is happening on the capital planet now. After all, many planets around the blue planet have been confirmed to be resource planets, and the development here is as important as that on the mainland.
This is also why after discovering that the ancient god did not appear, Xingxing did not transfer back the old prime minister and several equally old important officials.
——They need to be here and oversee the progress of resource development.
Otherwise, why do they have to build projects and develop businesses here?
Unfortunately, due to the usual bureaucratic delays, it has been almost a year and a half, and they still have not received enough resources to help them develop the surrounding planets.
After all, this job means leaving your name in history, and the distribution of benefits is also a bloody battle.
Let me put it this way, if the Three Kingdoms Alliance had known that not only was there no ancient gods in this world, but there were even many planets waiting to be developed, these old guys might not have been able to get a seat on the starship.
They can only be thankful that they did not fear death and actually came here, so that they can make some plans for their descendants and younger generations in the family.
However, this is not without disadvantages. They have to pay more attention to major events happening in the interstellar world to avoid falling into other people's schemes without knowing it.
The old prime minister was thinking while hearing the voice of the person in charge.
"…Since the documentary was broadcast, the online public opinion has indeed begun to question the gods as we guided them to do. Even though there are believers of the Ancient Gods who are struggling to survive, more people are still questioning whether the gods are what they think they are, omniscient and omnipotent, or just a race with great power."
The person in charge of the explanation had dark circles under his eyes and pointed at the report on the holographic screen with a bitter look on his face.
The report on the holographic screen also accurately showed that public opinion had fallen from the direction they had expected to a certain point in time and suddenly fell to the bottom.
——Even directly penetrated the coordinate axis.
"But this public opinion only lasted for three days before another point of view emerged."
The person in charge said in a low voice: "'...Even if the gods are unbearable, so what? At least the people ruled by the gods dare to rebel against them! And we, even if we talk about something, we have to worry about whether the mastermind will find out and send us to prison.'"
“At first, not many people noticed this view and some even mocked it. But later, I don’t know who directed it, but it suddenly became the number one trending search, and more and more people joined the discussion.”
The person in charge said this, turned around and switched the original icon list to those comments.
"The vast majority of people who support this statement are ordinary people who work in very demanding jobs with no room for advancement, but most of them have what outsiders would consider to be a very good level of education."
"Most of those who oppose this statement have a good standard of living and come from what they consider to be an average family background, so they oppose this statement and think it is nonsense."
The person in charge paused when he spoke. What he didn't say was that among those who opposed these remarks, there were some people who were similar to those who supported these remarks. They did not have a very impressive family background, and some even did heavy work, or even had no jobs.
But they firmly support what those people with good family background say.
However, this is not very important, so the person in charge did not include it in his report.
"Originally, Congress and the cabinet did not take these remarks seriously, but these remarks were used by some people with ulterior motives and spread to those poor planets."
In fact, the person in charge is not quite sure whether it was transmitted to those poor planets by someone with ulterior motives, or whether the people on those poor planets watched it on their own.
But in general, the tone has been set by the superiors. Unless you are stupid, you will not go against them. This means that the people on these poor planets just don't live well, so a little bit of fuse can detonate this powder keg.
"Then these poor people began to upload their own march videos on social media and demanded dialogue with the government and that they be given the subsidies they deserve."
However, the old prime minister interrupted the person in charge and asked with a frown: "Social media? Where does the Internet come from on this impoverished planet?"
It’s not that the old prime minister knows this poor planet, but that this poor planet is a private planet.
Although the residents on the private interstellar planets also have their subsistence allowances, they turn a blind eye to the actions of the planet owner. As long as no one dies or a suitable reason is given for the death, the entire interstellar upper echelons will tacitly conceal the matter.
Otherwise, why would they climb to this position? To do charity?
Of course, they have also formulated a series of regulations, but when there is no Internet access on a private planet, it is unknown whether these regulations and laws can be handled.
The abilities of the mastermind are also most severely limited on these planets.
However, there were not so many private planets at the beginning, but after hundreds of years of accumulation, more and more planet owners own private planets.
Some planets don't like these natives and throw them directly into interstellar shelters, where they will receive some basic subsidies and basic survival resources.
Of course, no one will teach them. They can only learn some basic words and then do the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work.
Of course, there are some people who succeed in filing a complaint to the mastermind, but more people who have no concept of filing a complaint will be the best labor force.
"This is also what we are confused about. There is clearly no Internet connection on that private planet. Only the planet owner's residence has Internet connection."
The person in charge also said helplessly that he knew this situation was very abnormal, but this was indeed what happened.
"In which country did the things on this planet happen?"
The old prime minister asked with a frown, it sounded like the situation was with the other two countries.
"In the Federation, sir."
The person in charge said more and more helplessly that he also wanted it to belong to the other two countries, but this planet indeed belonged to the Human Federation.
The other old officials from the Holy Star and the Orc Empire looked at the old prime minister with amusement in their eyes.
"It actually caused such a big commotion. It has been many years since such a thing happened in the history of the empire?" The Orc Empire nodded and expressed regretfully.
"It's the same in Holy Star. Such a thing hasn't happened in many years. It seems that this is indeed a free and democratic human federation." An official of the Holy Star Empire said sincerely.
But they must be laughing inside - you mocked the Holy Star for producing Aaron, but you, the Human Federation, are no worse than others, and you were actually taken advantage of by those civilians.
The old prime minister frowned even more tightly now and quickly looked at the person in charge. As soon as the person in charge received the old prime minister's gaze, he immediately skipped this topic and started to talk about what happened next.
However, his tone was not angry as if he was insulted. Instead, he had an expression as if he was enjoying a good show.
"The Federation takes these issues very seriously, but unfortunately, the Federation Congress was discussing the interstellar development of our world at that time, so we had to postpone this issue for 10 days. However, we have already given the notice."
The person in charge said this with a sad tone.
“But these people were not willing to wait even 10 days and turned into rioting criminals.”
The person in charge avoided the main point and said that in these 10 days, in order to enjoy the last power, the planet owner destroyed all the food grown by the people on the planet and the land on which they depended for survival, and used the wastewater from his own factory to make the land there uncultivable.
And the planet master also enjoys trampling on the personalities of these people.
In the opinion of the person in charge, the owner of this planet probably feels that these people will not pose any threat to him. Anyway, he will probably be held accountable and kicked out of the planet in 10 days. So he might as well take advantage of this last period of time to show off his power and enjoy his rights.
——It’s a pity that the lord of this planet never expected that the untouchables who in his eyes could only cry helplessly when they were trampled by him could actually step into his mansion and take off his head and hang it on the spire of his castle.
"After the riot, these mobs brutally killed and dismembered the original planet owner, and treated the original planet owner's body in an extremely horrible way. The Federation strongly condemned the death of the planet owner and prepared to let the Federation's intelligent police conduct anti-terrorism operations on this planet."
The person in charge pretended to wipe away his tears while speaking, and the officials on the scene, regardless of whether they really knew the planet master or whether they really felt pity for the planet master, all observed a moment of silence.
Then the person in charge regained his serious expression and said.
"But three days later, on March 28th of the planetary calendar, these mobs posted another video on social media, saying that they did not kill the planetary master, but his followers who could not stand him and brutally killed him when they came to ask for the subsidy they were entitled to."
The person in charge was talking while playing the video. From the holographic image, it can be seen that it was indeed the followers who spontaneously killed the planet master.
But the old prime minister felt something was wrong. He listened to the person in charge and pursed his lips.
The person in charge took a sip of water and continued.
"Not long after releasing this video, they posted another video on social media showing the planet owner voluntarily transferring the entire planet to their subordinates, and the mastermind agreed on the spot. This means that when the video was released, these former mobs had become the owners of the planet."
The old prime minister stared at the video footage released by the person in charge. Anyone could see that the planet master volunteered to escape from the mob, and he did escape from the mob.
Unfortunately, he still died at the hands of his followers - but it is unknown whether this was true or a plan by the mob.
However, in the old prime minister's opinion, this matter can be ended here. Although a planet master has died, the life or death of this planet master is not a big deal for the entire federation. The most important thing is to pacify the mobs.
And the Federation did just that, and did it quite perfectly. A month ago, they hadn't even heard any news or discussion about those mobs on the Internet.
——Until the Holy Star Empire and the Orc Empire started to rebel together.
The old prime minister did not immediately analyze what the positions of the two planets represented, but turned to look at the two old opponents beside him.
"Ha, how many years has it been since something like this happened?"
The old prime minister said in a cheerful mood as he looked at the livid faces of his two old rivals.
*
Two officials surrounded a face and looked at the information above.
They didn't expect that the rebellion in their country would be like this. They thought it was just a normal fight for power.
In fact, it is not their fault that they had the wrong idea. After all, the competition for the position of crown prince on both the Holy Star and the Orc Empire has now been exposed.
Let’s not even talk about the Orc Empire. The former prince has basically become a marginalized person now. He either beats females or drinks at home every day.
Originally, some people sympathized with that female, but after it was revealed that she had deliberately lured a female who had a conflict with her in front of the prince to watch him punish her, just to make her jealous, she no longer received public sympathy.
With such a prince as a precedent, people's expectations of the prince suddenly became much lower.
After experiencing the parallel universe, the royal family's idea of a crown prince changed from one who is both civil and military to one who is good at governing the country.
At least we should leave a few generals to guard the capital planet.
If worst comes to worst, you can just let the mastermind go to the front line for you.
——God knows how horrified they were when they heard that the Orc Empire across the way was guarded by the prince.
Putting aside whether the prince is capable of doing the job, the fact that he no longer has any generals capable of guarding the capital planet for him is enough to cause the royal family to exclude him.
As a result, the battle for the crown prince in the Orc Empire has now reached a white-hot stage. Although the situation in the opposite Sacred Heart Empire has not reached this point, the crown prince of the Holy Star Empire often runs around and speaks for General Aaron, so his originally stable position as crown prince has been shaken a lot by the endless tricks of those people in the royal family.
After all, you said Aaron was innocent, so doesn't that mean they were blind when they supported the verdict?
Based on the above reasons, the two countries actually suspected the cause of the riot at the beginning.
But the process of these people's riots is the same. If there is no one behind the scenes, the governments of the three countries can just go home and eat their own food.
From the parade at the beginning to the forceful seizure of the planet's authority later on, the presence of the first planet was evident everywhere.
What's more crucial is that all these planets are located in one star field. Even though this star field is divided among three parties due to historical issues, from a geographical point of view, even if this star field belongs to three countries, they are indeed in one star field.
"…So this was a premeditated riot targeting three countries?"
The person in charge of the old prime minister's summary also nodded, but did not speak, and the other two officials did not sing a different tune at this time.
In fact, although they are at odds with each other, their interests are the same in this matter.
They all want Congress/Cabinet to resolve this riot quickly so as not to affect the progress of star field development on their side - this is their political achievement!
But unfortunately, the fact that this news was delivered to them shows that people from the three countries have not resolved the riot.
This is indeed the case.
"...Those rioters were very cunning. They defined themselves as victims from the beginning and made a big surprise online. They also actively cooperated and made those followers undergo labor reform - after all, we don't have the death penalty. And they directly provided all the evidence to the mastermind."
At this point, even the person in charge showed an exasperated look: "This is also the cunning of these mobs. The judgment of the mastermind can replace the federal government to a certain extent, especially on their planet, where there is no court. They leave these matters entirely to the mastermind to handle."
"——Even the body of the planet master was packed up and sent back to his original family at the suggestion of the master brain."
The old prime minister looked at the information provided by the person in charge, his eyes darkened slightly.
It seems that there are probably quite a few smart people on the other side. They have handed over all matters to the mastermind and made all the facts public on the Internet, which is also a way to protect them to some extent.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, they are just a group of ordinary people who are desperate. The planet owner voluntarily transferred the planet to them. Even if he did it to escape, the planet is theirs after all, isn't it?
Besides, the mastermind has also approved it, and ordinary people don’t care about morality and justice.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, these mobs still have a very good reputation. After all, they have shown that they really do not know how to manage this planet and have left it entirely to the main brain to manage. This in turn makes the planet show vitality.
The other officials present also realized how troublesome the mob was. They frowned and began to discuss how to deal with these secrets, especially since they now had control over public opinion.
At first they thought of suppressing them by force, but after getting those planets together and being able to produce mechas and a few small warships with those shabby factories, they realized that they could not suppress them without sending out the army, but...
"… Congress has also been discussing this issue during this period, but they still cannot reach a consensus on the most critical issue, military spending."
The person in charge said tactfully.
In fact, it was more than just a failure to reach an agreement; they were almost ready to engage in a full-scale fight.
The officials also understood instantly that, after all, the army needs military expenditure to be deployed, and no one wants to pay for this military expenditure. Even if it is money in the national treasury, it needs to be used in other places.
not to mention……
The officials looked at the star map they had pulled out.
These poor planets have no resources and nothing else, only a few poor mineral deposits. It is already the limit for them to barely defend the planets with the help of intelligent police.
They have nothing better to do than to attack this place where there is not much to gain!
I guess Congress has the same idea, and now they just have to wait for the right step to step down.
Of course, revenge is necessary, but the exact way to do it requires some thought. The officials thought about it for a long time and finally gave up on this political achievement.
However, the old Prime Minister got inspiration from the scene outside the starship.
——A road in Country A appeared on the mirror projection system outside the starship.
A parade was taking place on this road, and the faces of the marchers were all painted with colorful flags.
This is an anti-discrimination march.
The old prime minister looked at the parade, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to remember some rumors about country A that he had heard, and then spoke to his subordinates.
"Look for information about Country A - about the laws passed in recent years."

Liberal Party Congressman Revere was at a loss when he received the old prime minister's agreement to meet with him. He just mentioned the matter as a routine and did not expect a response from the other party.
Over the past year, many officials have applied to Starship, but only a few have been received. However, most of those who have been received have gained huge benefits.
So although Revere didn't know how he caught the other party's attention, the huge benefits alone were enough to make him ignore this problem.
He packed himself up happily and then sent himself to the starship - of course, he was accompanied by several members of the Special Management Bureau, who were on guard against interstellar members and also against him - and as soon as he got on the starship, he saw the old prime minister playing interstellar ink.
This sport is similar to golf, except that the hole is moved to the sky, and players have to wear special competition uniforms and fly in mid-air to hit the ball.
Of course Revere would fight.
After all, all the bigwigs on the starship like to play this sport, so it naturally became popular in Country A, and many of the original golf courses were converted into venues for this sport.
"Welcome, Mr. Congressman, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are much younger than I thought."
Congressman Revere also hurriedly exchanged greetings humbly, and seemed much more pleasing to the eye than the previous official from Country A. After a brief greeting, they finally got to the point.
“…Supporting anti-discrimination activities is a measure to affirm and protect minority groups in terms of human rights. Similarly, promoting anti-discrimination, anti-bullying and anti-psychological abuse bills can better support young people to express themselves bravely, which is a more powerful promotion of human rights.”
When Congressman Revere heard the old prime minister discussing this bill, although he didn't understand why the other party brought it up, he still answered the question cautiously.
The old prime minister nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What are the specific measures, and how do you distinguish these groups?"
Congressman Revere explained one by one and said with slogans that this was progress, and the old prime minister nodded while playing ball. After listening to how Country A divided these groups more and more and even invented a form to test these groups, he looked at Congressman Revere with more and more surprise, and in the end his expression was full of tenderness.
This made Congressman Revere look uncomfortable, but the old Prime Minister said to Congressman Revere: "Yes, this is a genius bill. This is exactly the answer I want."
Congressman Revere was flattered and didn't understand why the old prime minister said that.
Gu Youxing, who already knew everything, stood by and sighed deeply.
The sound of 777 suddenly rang in my ears.
[The old prime minister asked: How did you manage to be so shameless? I want to learn.]
777 imitated the two people's voices and said.
[Congressman Revere replied: We in country A never do such things. We are only working for the advancement of human rights.]
[The old prime minister said in surprise: Yes, yes, that’s what I’m talking about.]
Listening to 777's uncontrollable laughter, Gu Youxing sighed: "Big Brother jokes really never get old."
