Chapter 2458

The Emperor Penteo was in pain and joy.

The painful thing is that the federal government announced the content of their telephone meeting to the outside world as he imagined.

Some TV stations and radio stations even broadcast some of their conversations.

Among them, the one played more often is that he used the tone of a subordinate to guarantee that the death of the two old people has absolutely nothing to do with Peng Jieao!
The whole world is laughing, some people are really happy laughing.

They are happy because the Penteio Empire is no longer as unruly and aggressive as it used to be.

Their new emperor may be the most "cowardly" one in history, and he is begging for mercy!

A Peng Jieao who is not aggressive and fully opens up the market is the Peng Jieao that everyone likes and needs.

Some people laughed out of anger, and their laughter was more angry at the emperor's weakness!
In fact, he obviously didn't need to be so humble.

What he lost was not only the face of the royal family, but also the face of all Peng Jieao people!
But how many people can understand his helplessness?

nobody!
Nobles who know the essence of this matter will feel that this is what you should do!

After all, you are His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, you have to take on your responsibilities, whether it is honor or disgrace, you should bear it.

So they don't need to understand the bitterness and difficulty of His Majesty the Emperor.

And those who don't know the essence of these things simply won't understand it themselves and then understand them.

But in any case, this trouble has passed, and a large loan has been obtained, which may be the only good news.

30 billion federal sols is a huge sum of money for the current Penteio!
Then it will be hotter, the temperature is like people's hearts, getting hotter and hotter!

In mid-to-late August, a young man squatted outside the factory, smoking a cigarette.

He is from Pengjieao, so of course it is also Pengjieao here.

Beside him, more than a dozen young people were smoking, squatting, standing, or leaning against the wall.

The morale-boosting posters and slogans painted on the walls have not completely faded. They were painted during the war to boost people's morale.

Under the slogan full of the characteristics of the times and passionate, there is a group of listless young people.

He was smoking a cigarette while thinking about something.

The factory has been shut down for more than two months. Since His Majesty Emperor Pengeo announced that he would fully open the market, the factory was completely shut down within a few days.

The impact of the Federation's goods was too great.

Coupled with the continuous advancement of the privatization process, the entire factory is now shrouded in haze.

Federal's product, the washing machine, is not only beautiful in appearance and has many functions, but also the key price is cheap.

The technicians in the factory bought two sets and disassembled them for research. The technology is indeed more advanced than theirs. The most important thing is the price, which is nearly 20.00% lower.

According to the research of the technicians and the management of the factory, its price is abnormally low.

But it's that low!
It is so low that the factory can't continue to produce, because the products produced cannot be sold, and if one is produced, one will lose money.

If the price is lowered, the losses will be even greater, and even the capital cannot be guaranteed!

The inability to sell the goods also caused the privatization process to be shelved.

No one will pay for a factory that is bound to lose money, with no possibility of any improvement.

They don't have the technology of the federal people, they can't make that kind of good-looking and easy-to-use machines, they can only produce that kind of very rigid old products.

"I heard it's going bankrupt."

After a long silence, someone sighed, "The city hall is unwilling to take over, and the nobles are unwilling to continue to keep the secret. We may have to be dismissed."

Everyone's heart tightened, bankruptcy, dismissal, these words are too scary.

In the past, Peng Jieao's social structure was rather weird, retaining a certain degree of fiefdom system, and each area had a "lord".

Almost the vast majority of factories are the property of the gentlemen. Working in the factories and going to work is actually equivalent to providing labor for the private property of the gentlemen.

At the same time, the residents in this territory, like those factories, are the private property of the lords.

In ancient times, population was a very important resource, so gentlemen would not allow famine to occur in their territories.

Working for the old man is equivalent to getting a meal ticket that can last for a lifetime, so you don't have to worry about not having a job, let alone being unable to afford a meal!
But the situation is different now, the old men began to let go, and a large number of enterprises began to be privatized in order to adapt to the free market.

Enterprises that cannot complete privatization must go bankrupt and dissolve. The occurrence of these things is devastating to the workers.

Their ability to adapt and survive in society is actually not as high as people imagine. Many people have entered factories since they were young, and they have not mastered more survival skills other than their own jobs.

Just like some fitters, once they lose their jobs, they don't even know how to support themselves, how to find a new job!
Everyone was very confused, one after another "tragedies" happened one after another. They also reported it to the above through the presbytery, but the effect was very bad.

It is said that even the Presbyterian Church may be disbanded.

Because the Federals don't like it.

This makes many people find it ironic that federalists who keep saying they want freedom, equality, justice, and being able to decide their own rights don't like the Presbyterian Church.

An organization that purely comes from the bottom and can truly speak for the people at the bottom actually wants to cancel it!
This provided powerful ammunition to those who opposed federal intervention in domestic affairs, but unfortunately there were too few of them to create any movement in public opinion.

Many people are still obsessed with "the throes of a better future" and cannot extricate themselves. Whoever dares to jump out at this time to wake everyone up will be beaten to sleep!

Listening to others talking about how to find a way out if they are about to be dismissed, the young man looked at his right hand with two missing fingers, and there was a dull pain in the broken place.

Three years.

Until now, the wound still hurts sharply from time to time.

The doctor said that he had some kind of... similar mental problem, not that his wound was really hurting, but that his brain and nerves didn't accept the fact.

He remembered that it was what happened during the great retreat, and anything can happen on the battlefield.

Sometimes when he closes his eyes, he thinks about everything that happened that day, especially at night when the wound hurts.

The federal people poured over like a tide.

The sky is full of federal fighters, and the fighters of the Penteo people keep falling.

The Federal tanks were also very fast, and everyone was filled with despair.

Fortunately, the superior officer gave the order to retreat in time, and they lost their air supremacy, and the Federal planes could fly over them with impunity.

They can straf, they can bomb, and the ground troops can't last long after losing air power!

As a trench infantryman, he hadn't had time to climb onto the troop carrier when a Federal fighter jet swooped in the air...

There were a total of thirty people on the truck, and only five survived in the end, and all the survivors were severely disabled.

He returned with his life because he didn't climb up, but he also lost his right ring finger and little finger, as well as a small part of his palm.

This is not the result of a direct hit from the front. If it was a direct hit, his right hand might not even be able to stay.

After returning home, he worked in this factory. He thought that this kind of life would last until he was too old to work.

Didn't expect it to come so soon.

The young man was at a loss, he was only 24 years old, he didn't know what to do in the future, how to support himself?

He heard that many people who came down from the army formed gangs and made money through some illegal means.

He doesn't want to do those things.

Unless there is really nothing to do.

While thinking about these things, suddenly several cars drove over quickly from a distance.

It hadn't rained here for several days, and the road surface was already covered with dust.

The dust raised by the passing cars made the group of people on the side of the road stand up. As soon as someone cursed, the cars turned into the factory.

People froze for a moment, and then showed some...unbelievable expressions.

They all chased after them and saw several cars parked in front of the office building from a distance. The factory director was like a dog wagging his invisible tail, bending down and humbly opening the door for the people in the car.

"A foreigner?!"

"Let me see...really, really a foreigner!"

"I heard that many foreigners are buying factories here recently. Is it our turn this time?"

"Doesn't that mean we don't need to be dismissed?"

The workers became excited, and many smiles appeared on the young people's faces.

To be honest, after three years of getting along, he actually has a good relationship with everyone.

In addition, he had two medals for wounds and bravery, and he was considered a combat hero. He liked the atmosphere here very much.

They watched from a distance. Not long after, people from several cars entered the office building together with the factory director.

They only saw the factory manager's waist bent so low when the mayor came!

The factory manager left, but there were still two managers who didn't follow. The big guy ran over to ask things, and finally confirmed one thing.

The people who came to inspect this time were indeed federal people. If the federal people were satisfied with the inspection, they would buy the factory.

And judging from the news they heard, the federal people are willing to keep the current employees.

Everyone cheered in a low voice, and the young man also laughed with the people around him, talking, the sun seemed to be no longer so blazing, and it made people's skin ache.

On the contrary, it becomes warmer and can shine into people's hearts, warming from top to bottom.
