Chapter 980 Prison Clearance
Countless people began to connect with each other privately and study how to overthrow other financial groups.
Their idea was soon discovered by detectives lying in ambush among the citizens, who reported it.
After receiving the news, other consortiums could no longer sit still.
When they first received the news that someone wanted to overthrow the Lehman Brothers, they treated it as a joke.
After all, the Lehman Brothers Group is an old group that has been standing in the country for hundreds of years. It is powerful, with intricate relationships and a huge network of connections that no ordinary company can match. It is harder than climbing to the sky to bring down such a powerful group.
However, what they considered a joke actually came true.
The Lehman Brothers Group really collapsed and was shattered to pieces.
The head of the consortium and his relatives fled to other countries.
Now, those people in the Free City have to look for their next target. Who can guarantee that they can withstand it?
These people panicked and began to order their agents to arrest people. Anyone involved in the conspiracy was arrested and put into private prisons.
As for the fact that federal laws do not apply within the Free City?
What a joke, the so-called Free City is nothing but a cover. It is used when needed and is nothing when not needed. The guards rushed directly into the Free City to arrest people. With the cooperation of the agents, 70% to 80% of the leaders were directly arrested, and the backbone of the entire Free City was directly broken.
Many citizens went online to talk about the Guard’s brutality, saying they actually rushed into Liberty City to arrest innocent citizens, which was a violation of federal law.
However, the state legislature turned hostile and announced that because the citizens of Free City held a secret meeting and conspired to split the Lighthouse Nation, the Lighthouse Nation had the right to retaliate. In view of previous events, all the privileges of Free City were now cancelled. However, electricity and food prices would not be reduced and would still be charged ten times the price.
The citizens of Free City were angry. In the past, they could tolerate higher prices because they had the privilege of freedom. But now that the privilege is gone, aren’t you charging such high prices?
They wanted to find a place to cause trouble, but without a leader, they were unable to organize a large group. When a small group of people wanted to join together to march, they were either caught by agents lurking in the organization before they could even get organized, or they were beaten back with clubs by state troopers who had been waiting for a long time as soon as they arrived at the protest site.
The wounds are all over the body and there is no medicine to treat them. It is even more miserable than in some war-torn areas.
Many people went online to cry out about their tragic experiences, and subsequently gained widespread sympathy.
Zhang Tuohai also saw a similar video, which directly called on the Lighthouse Country to respect human rights in its own country in public and not to become an accomplice of the consortium to oppress the people who pursue freedom.
The spokesperson of the Lighthouse Country stated on the spot that the Lighthouse Country is the freest and most democratic country in the world, with the most complete medical resources, the most complete insurance system, and the most complete welfare system in the world. The so-called bankruptcy is purely due to their personal lack of effort and has nothing to do with the great Lighthouse Country. We welcome people of insight from all countries to settle in the Lighthouse Country, and welcome all those who are devoted to the Lighthouse Country to come to the Lighthouse Country. As long as they are willing to come, the Lighthouse Country will allow entry.
After all the turmoil, the Lighthouse Country lost a lot of people and many of its infrastructures suffered devastating blows. It needed a large amount of cheap labor, so it directly opened its doors and recruited refugees to enter the country, preparing to get a wave of cheap labor for free.
Seeing what the Lighthouse Country said, Zhang Tuohai's face was full of joy. The other party's remarks were exactly what he wanted.
"You want to recruit refugees, right? Then you can recruit as many as you want."
Zhang Tuohai immediately issued an order to implement the prison clearance plan. All those imprisoned in the prison, except those who were repentant and sentenced to less than one year, were given two choices: either another 7.56 mm peanut or a one-way ticket to the Lighthouse Country.
Anyone who dared to express dissent was hanged on the spot.
Looking at the examples hanging on the street lamps, the prisoners dared not express any opinions and chose one-way tickets.
Then, they were locked in a carriage, taken all the way to the border, and sent to the border inspection of the Lighthouse Country: "These are the refugees that your Lighthouse Country wants, please accept them."
At the same time, Zhang Tuohai also invited hundreds of well-known newspapers, media giants, journalists from various countries, and internet celebrities to broadcast live. The scene was extremely lively. The number of viewers in many online live broadcast rooms exceeded millions at one point, almost overwhelming the website's server.
The border inspection of the Beacon Country was shocked to see these tens of thousands of prisoners wearing black and white striped prison uniforms. They had never seen such a scene before and did not dare to make a decision on their own. They hurriedly reported to their superiors.
When the members of the Lighthouse Country heard this, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
They wanted free labor, but they didn't want criminals.
It is really embarrassing that they just said they would open their arms to embrace refugees and the next moment they closed the border.
The most important thing is that so many reporters are watching. If they just refuse like that, who will listen to them in the future?
What if we let them in?
These tens of thousands of people are all criminals. How many of them can be good people among those sentenced to severe punishment in a country with chaotic judicial system like Chicken Roll Country?
If all of these were allowed in, wouldn't the already poor public security be made even worse?
Many people are confused and don’t know what to do.
In the end, it was Zhiye who made the decision to let them in. After all, this was a matter of face. It would be bad to break one's promise. There were only tens of thousands of criminals at most. So many gangsters and warlords were let in. Why should we care about these tens of thousands of criminals? At worst, they could all be sent to prison.
The order was passed down and the border inspection allowed them to pass.
Large numbers of prisoners swarmed into the border of the Lighthouse Country and poured into the free country of their dreams.
“Go!”
A large group of prisoners rushed into the town, and then they saw many people buying for zero dollars, and they were ecstatic.
It is worthy of being a free country. They can shop freely for free in broad daylight. It is even freer than the Chicken Roll Country. They love this place!
The jubilant prisoners joined the army of zero-dollar shoppers, and they moved in like a swarm of locusts, soon clearing out the entire street.
Those who were not yet satisfied rushed to the next street.
After only half a day, the once prosperous border town became devastated, with black smoke coming out of the houses from time to time, just like a war zone.
After looting the entire town, the prisoners felt unsatisfied. Many of them had been imprisoned for several years. They were suddenly released, and after only one afternoon of playing, they found that the town was almost emptied. So they headed for the nearby city in groups of three or five, gathering together in groups of three or five, exchanging various experiences and walking happily, just like friends going for an outing together.
