The more the military and police arrested, the bigger Lina's society became. Soon, the prisons in the Gamma Dimension were not enough. However, there were still a large number of people who were willing to join Lina's society. These people were originally limited to the poor, but they gradually expanded to ordinary people.
A debt crisis, a devastating inflation, these two economic and financial crises are like two nuclear bombs, blowing up the Gamma Space. Countless enterprises have closed down, countless workers have lost their jobs, and the already poor people are even more short of food and clothing, precarious.
Under such circumstances, it was useless no matter how much the government propagandized. Unless they could come up with enough food and supplies to ensure the basic livelihood of the people, a piece of law or the violent intervention of the military and police would not solve the problem.
On the other hand, Lina had real money in her hands. If they followed her, they would be able to eat and buy food. This was better than any propaganda.
A few days later, Colonel Keno changed his strategy. When he saw that he could not catch the mastermind behind the society, he changed to a policy of enlistment. He had people spread the word that as long as the owner of the society was willing to show up and cooperate with the government, he would be able to sit in a high position and ride a horse.
However, the problem was that Lina was not a peasant. She had received elite education since she was a child. She knew that if she showed up now, it would not end well for her.
Moreover, even if Keno promised not to lie to Lina, would Lina, who had a grudge against her father, surrender? If she was greedy for peace and wealth, wouldn't it be better for her to stay in Jiang Fei's house? Although the two of them had nothing to do with each other, everyone in the Gamma Dimension knew that she was the woman of the second-in-command, Ralph.
Lina's background and her mind would not allow her to surrender. So, Colonel Keno's plan of enlistment was destined to fail.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Lena's society was growing bigger and bigger, but Colonel Keno was helpless. At this time, the Consul was a little anxious. After all, no dictator could tolerate the existence of hundreds of thousands of disobedient people.
However, Colonel Keno, who was in charge of military affairs, could not handle this matter. So, the Consul had to summon Jiang Fei again.
"Sir, you were looking for me?" Jiang Fei quickly arrived at the Consul's mansion and met the Consul himself.
"You know about the recent situation. Do you have any ideas?" The Consul asked.
"Sir, are you talking about that huge society?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yes, it has only been a few days, and they have grown to nearly 300,000 people. that's terrifying!" The Consul said.
"It's just a group of defenseless starving people. Since someone is willing to spend money to support them, why not?" Jiang Fei said.
"This isn't something that a brat like you would say. Can't you see that this is an incomparably huge hidden danger? Once the leader of this society incites them to do something, it will be very difficult to deal with hundreds of thousands of people rioting together. "The Consul said.
"Sir, I've said it before. There's no good way to deal with these starving people. We can either provide them with aid or let them grow. However, we don't have money or food on hand. There's no way to provide aid to these starving people. They'll just follow those who can feed themselves," Jiang Fei said.
"In the end, you still want to implement military control and unify the distribution of resources!" The Administrator looked at Jiang Fei and said. He did not know why Jiang Fei was so insistent on doing this. Doing so would not bring him any benefits. Once military control was implemented, Colonel Keno would be in charge, and he, Ralph, would have no choice but to stand aside.
"Sir, your humble servant is inexperienced. This is the only way I can think of to stabilize the current situation. You should know that once the military takes over, I will be a mere figurehead. This is definitely not a good thing for me. However, this is the only way I can think of to solve the problem," Jiang Fei said.
"Sigh! Even if I'm willing, those rich merchants and high-ranking officials won't be willing. They won't hand over their money and resources. "The consul sighed and spoke his true thoughts.
"Sir, you can't see the situation clearly. You just need to make sure that Colonel Keno is willing to support you. Then, you can give all the officers and all the military and police a certain amount of benefits. I believe that they will definitely be willing to follow you. However, once you have control over the military, those executives and wealthy businessmen will have no say in this!"
"That's right! The military is under my control. Why should I be afraid of them? "The consul slapped his thigh and said.
"Sir, if you want to stabilize the society, this is the only way." Jiang Fei said.
"Alright! I'll call Keno over right now! "The consul nodded and then sent someone to call Colonel Keno.
Jiang Fei and the consul drank tea in the living room for a while. About half an hour later, Colonel Keno arrived. He had not been in the military camp for the past few days. Previously, when he was speculating on the Moon Crystal Futures, he had earned a lot of cash. So, he had been busy recently.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Colonel Keno bowed to the consul and said.
"Yes! This time, I have something to discuss with you! "The consul nodded and then asked," How is the situation in the military recently? "
"It's relatively stable!" Colonel Keno said. As the military's resource allocation system was independent and had sufficient reserves, the economic crisis had not affected the military camp yet.
However, this stability could not be maintained for long. After all, not all soldiers were orphans. They also had families to support. It was not enough for them to just eat their fill.
"How about this, pass on the order. From today onwards, all soldiers' salaries will be doubled, and they will be paid with Moon Crystals!" The consul was also a very decisive person. He knew that the most important thing now was to firmly control the military by his side.
"Thank you very much, sir. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers!" Keno immediately stood up and said. This time, he was also a beneficiary. After all, he was also in the military. Although there were many gray profits, who would complain about earning more?
"Then, there's another matter!" The consul put on a serious expression and said to Keno.
"Sir, please speak!" Colonel Keno said.
"I intend to put the entire Realm under military control! Forcibly confiscate the resources and Moon Crystals from the rich merchants and high-ranking officials! "The consul stated his intention.
"Sir, is this appropriate?" Although Keno was very happy, he still had to put on a show. Once the military control was implemented, he would become a person with real power.
