Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 312

312. Chapter 311, Apology

What is the slogan of Blackbird Heavy Industry?

Oh, yes.

‘Embrace the glorious evolution’.

The owner of the bar would rather believe that his son and daughter were chosen by Blackbird and really had a better development, rather than being cut off their brains and becoming robots without self-minds as the Alliance said.

But he could no longer deceive himself.

If it was just the Alliance’s statement, he could still regard it as false propaganda by political opponents. But with the return of some survivors and the spread of folk news, these things can be mutually confirmed with the Alliance’s statement.

At this moment, what Governor Gu said was not a real word to convince him, but it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

He opened his mouth with difficulty. This time, he really didn’t apologize because the soldiers in front of him used force to coerce him, but he woke up from the bottom of his heart.

However, Dimitra in front of him still didn’t let him speak.

He made a “hush” gesture, indicating that the tavern owner should continue to listen.

The man could only hold it in.

…

Gu Hang’s voice continued on the radio.

After recounting the achievements of the Alliance since its establishment, including conquering the south and the north, unifying the world, and liberating the entire world, he continued to talk about the aftermath:

“… We have established a job grade system that benefits the entire world, from basic living security to basic medical security; from education security to employment security; from basic welfare to a salary system determined by job grade; from government-led infrastructure and large factory production to the encouragement policy for the people to start their own businesses…”

“The Alliance is committed to allowing everyone to have a place under the Alliance system. Everyone can live with dignity and have more opportunities to obtain a better and higher standard of living and realize their self-worth with their own hands. The upward channel is always open to everyone.”

Hearing this, the tavern owner was more convinced.

If it was just bragging, it would be fine, but many things were even confirmed in his own body.

Most of the people he knew, as long as they had healthy hands and feet and were able to work, were at least graded as E5. According to the benefits and allowances of the E5 level, this is at least a treatment that does not worry about food and clothing. Those who have jobs will be determined according to their jobs, and those who don’t have jobs will be responsible for the allocation and arrangement.

As for himself, he was running a tavern, and his business was pretty good, so he was even rated as E7.

Of course, he lost the ownership of the tavern, and he was unhappy about it. But when you think about it, the Alliance actually gave him more than he lost. His previous bleak business could only break even and make enough for his living. What the Alliance gave him made his life better.

Of course, the tavern business may get better and better in the future. But despite the loss of profits, he will get a faster job promotion because of his strong management of the tavern. This is really not bad.

Are there any bad things?

There are.

For example, “forced” labor.

The Alliance really doesn’t support idle people. Even if there is no work to do temporarily, you have to go to sweep the streets or dig foundations at the construction site. But even a “black spot” like the tavern owner is not very happy to criticize the Alliance on this point.

If you want to live a good life, you should work. How can you get a job and lie at home to enjoy benefits? The Alliance, or the entire society of the Angry Owl Star, is not yet rich to this extent.

Don’t want to do this job? Yes, the Union has never restricted anyone from finding any job. If you are assigned to sweep the streets, you can always work as a worker or a shop assistant if you have the idea. If you don’t want to do it, you can go to school if you want a better future. You can owe money for adult school education, and if you do well in your studies, you can be exempted from tuition fees…

From this perspective, every word the governor said was true, and was witnessed by the residents under the rule of the alliance.

But this was not enough.

At least, it was not enough for Governor Gu.

“…These are our achievements, but we will never stop on the journey of creating a happy life for all the people in the alliance. On behalf of the alliance government, I solemnly promise to every citizen in the alliance on the development of the entire Angry Owl Star:”

“We will insist on economic development and people’s well-being as the government’s top priority.”

“We will build more factories and produce more products and food.

” “We will build a stronger army to protect the construction results of our hard work;”

“We will continue to deepen the reform of the alliance system to make economic development more dynamic;”

“We will continue to promote anti-corruption and advocate efficient government policies to make those termites nowhere to hide!”

“We will create more and more valuable jobs to accommodate more high-level positions, so that more willing and smart alliance citizens can be promoted to higher levels faster and get better treatment.”

“This is the solemn promise I, and the alliance government, made to all the residents of the alliance!”

…

Governor Gu’s radio speech ended here.

As the four big words “solemn promise” fell, the tavern in Yinsha City was already noisy.

The loyal soldiers of the alliance cheered and jumped for joy. They had never stopped since the governor began to speak, and now it became even louder!

Now, the soldiers, whose passions were already ignited, laughed, boasted to each other, and drank together. No one paid attention to the incident that just happened.

As the governor said, we have infinitely broad undertakings to do, so how can we afford to quibble over such trivial matters?

The tavern owner was a little dumbfounded.

He looked around anxiously and saw Dimitrao.

He opened his mouth and said, “I…I want to apologize to you.”

Dimitrao smiled and waved his hand: “Looking at you, I roughly know what you think. You should apologize, but not today. Everyone is in a good mood. No one wants to care about or listen to you talking about the disappointing thing just now.”

After a pause, the soldier with the rank of sergeant on his shoulder continued: “In fact, you never need to apologize to us. The target of your apology should be the governor. But the governor is more magnanimous than us. Work hard, let the tavern have more tables, more kinds of drinks, and better food… Try to run this tavern better and better. This is your best apology.”

The tavern owner took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”

Then, he shouted to the noisy soldiers: “Today’s drinks are free! Don’t worry about the deficit. I still have a lot of loss quota! Everyone drink as much as you want today!”

The soldiers laughed and praised, and whistled loudly. No one was entangled with what happened before.
