"What happened? A riot? A coup?"

Ye Zhou asked with a frown.

"No. 90% of the population of Yindu are untouchables. How could they come up and do such a rebellious thing - they are killing each other."

"Killing each other? What do you mean?"

"In short, a group of untouchables who couldn't buy food began to attack another group of untouchables who bought food in advance. The casualties have been huge - according to official statistics, more than 20 people died today."

“No one cares??”

"How to control it? Don't let them fight and cause trouble? With the limited ability of the Yindu officials to govern, if they take action now, the conflicts between civilians will immediately turn into conflicts between civilians and officials. How do you think it will end then? How about disaster relief? If the relief fails, the suppression fails, and when the fire breaks out, the six northeastern states will also take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, and then it will not be a problem that can be solved by just killing a few people."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou nodded silently.

Yes, in this world, not all countries give priority to solving the problem of "what makes people human" when facing a crisis.

For most politicians, they don’t care whether their people are hungry, whether their clothes are warm, whether they suffer from disease, or whether they are even alive.

All they care about is the so-called "public opinion", "support rate", and interests.

However, if we really leave things alone, can the situation really improve spontaneously?

Especially under the control of a country on the other side of the sea, can the so-called problem of food shortage and rising prices really be solved through spontaneous market adjustment?

Ye Zhou was very doubtful about this.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Do we have a prediction for the next development of the situation in Yindu? How will we deal with possible impacts in the future? You know, they are only a mountain away from us. If they are really in danger, there will be a refugee wave impact. Possible at the border.”

"First, let me answer your first question."

Chen Hao heard the sound of turning the pages of a book. After a pause, he said:

"According to our judgment, the current riots in Yindu are only the first step. It is still a conflict within the lower class, because the resources of the lower class have not been drained yet."

"To put it in layman's terms, there is still a problem of uneven distribution of resources among untouchables, so until this problem is solved, they cannot attack other classes."

"The reason is very simple. This uneven distribution is largely due to random factors. It is possible that some farmers happened to sell food and bought food in advance, so their ability to withstand disasters is stronger than that of others. people."

"However, this disaster resilience has not been translated into their real strength. That is to say, they do not have enough armed forces to defend the resources they already possess."

"Under such circumstances, violence, robbery, and theft have almost become inevitable choices."

"There is a saying that is very simple: my neighbor is hoarding food and I am hoarding guns. The neighbor is my granary. Now, the neighbor who hoards guns has begun to attack the neighbor who hoards food."

"However, the food will eventually be used up. One day, people of the same class will find that no matter how they search, they will not be able to grab any food from their neighbors, and they still have insufficient food. , they are still starving.”

"At this time, the riot will take the next step, that is, it will begin to transcend one class and move towards the next higher class."

"Our prediction is that in the next month, the riots that first started in Punjab will begin to expand. In depth, they will start from the riots among farmers and expand to businessmen, petty bourgeoisie, and then to riots against big landowners, big capitalists, and even the ruling class; in terms of breadth, it will expand from Punjab to six northeastern states, and then further expand to the whole country."

"By that time, the riots caused by food shortage will lead to the death of a large number of people, destroy a large number of social and economic sectors, and the situation will intensify."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou frowned and then asked:

"You mean they're going to start a revolution that sweeps the country?"

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone smiled and replied:

"We hope so. But unfortunately, this riot lacked strong leadership from beginning to end, and the purpose was too superficial - to put it bluntly, it was just to grab food."

"With such motivations, it is difficult to form organized revolutionary actions, especially since they do not have high literacy rates and dragon-slaying skills like us."

"So, this is definitely not a revolution. No matter how big the scale is, it cannot escape the essence of feudal class internal struggle."

"This is a pity. If they can really overthrow the current ruling system of Yin City, it will be a good thing for us."

Ye Zhou nodded secretly. A ruling system organized by civilians would be much more useful than a pro-ugly Brahmin system.

But now from Chen Hao's words, he has a new doubt, that is, what does this have to do with us?

They are causing their riots, and we are living our lives. We will neither accept their refugees nor provide them with food. What impact will it have on us?

After hearing Ye Zhou's question, Chen Hao explained:

"This brings you to your second question, which is how we will respond to this situation."

"Actually, to answer this question, we first have to answer another question, which is how Yindu officials will respond to this situation."

"When the domestic economy is in decline, famine is widespread, and people are constantly revolting, what methods will they use to stabilize their rule."

"I think you should know the answer yourself."

Ye Zhou hummed and replied:

"Misfortune is diverted to the east."

"Yes, the disaster is diverted to the east."

"From the inside, they have no ability to resolve this contradiction, so they can only find a way out from the outside. And historical experience tells us that their strategy can often achieve good results."

"Yes, they were beaten to death by us every time, but this does not affect them from bragging about their achievements in the country. This has achieved a placebo effect to a large extent. At least their people do accept this. .”

"This time, we think they will adopt the same strategy."

Ye Zhou frowned and asked in disbelief:

"Are you sure? After we just forced back the three major aircraft carrier battle groups?"

"They don't care. It's just a ploy. Even if we just blew up the Trisolaran star, they will still do it."

"So what's the answer? How do we deal with this situation?"

"It's simple: hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches."

"Want to take action? Let's do it ourselves?"

Speaking of this, Ye Zhou suddenly had an idea.

It was absolutely impossible to do it himself, but when he was inspecting Shufei the day before, he vaguely remembered hearing a piece of news from the highest level of Shufei.

A severely emasculated version of the J-20 for foreign trade called Tenglong, it seems, is about to begin delivery.

And the object of delivery

"I understand. Are they willing to take action?"

Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, and then replied:

"There is no such thing as willingness or unwillingness. The two of them have been grudges for a long time. Now that they have such an opportunity, it can be said that they want to make a move."

"Also, to be honest, their current domestic situation is not good. Various small-scale KB attacks have broken out everywhere. The domestic pressure is very serious, and there must be an outlet."

"And Yindu is their outlet."

"This is a win-win situation for us and them. It's much better to let them help us defend the defense line while attacking in the east and west than to do it ourselves. At least, we only need to pay, and we don't need to die."

"Understood. So what is our plan? How far will it go?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao's tone became serious.

"First of all, this is not our plan. We just delivered some goods in accordance with the contract. As for the use of these goods, it has nothing to do with us. We don't know and don't want to know."

"Second, to what extent it goes, it is not decided by us, but by both of them. At most, we will try to break up the fight at the meeting."

"Third, this only represents my personal opinion. I think it is meaningless to engage in territorial conflicts, and they do not have the ability to manage the land there."

"However, it's okay to go a little deeper and teach him a lesson."

"New Delhi hasn't changed its name for a long time. Maybe it can be changed again."
