Franchise God Episode 1618

Chapter 346 Supply Base (3)

France, which was at war, was rather at peace, and Korea, which was prospering and serving as a supply base, was facing unexpected chaos.

“We should not discriminate against the weak who cannot join the military for the sake of the soldiers!”

“The income earned by the military, which is raised through tax money, must be used equally for the benefit of all citizens!”

“We are resolutely against wasteful washing!”

“Even a naval admiral has no authority to use national defense revenues as he pleases!”

Those who were dissatisfied with the fact that the huge amount of income coming from France was only used to compensate the salaries of military personnel were making noise in the streets every day.

They also turned on the loudspeaker and made a commotion around the Humint Tower.

Normally, the police would have come out and stopped it right away, but strangely enough, they were quiet.

No matter how many complaints were filed in the area, the only response they got was that there was nothing they could do because the decibel level was below the regulation.

“How is that below the decibel limit? It’s so loud!”

“At this level, it’s noise assault!”

“Why on earth are the police doing that?”

There was even talk that vested interest groups who were dissatisfied with Ha Soo-young were colluding to suppress the police.

Anyway, Ha Su-young is a member of the basic assembly and does not have the authority to directly control the police.

It is unimaginable that the police did not intervene when such a noise protest occurred in broad daylight in Cheongdam-dong, where most of the upper class live.

But that’s what was actually happening.

* * *

“Tsk tsk, the weather is bad, everyone is suffering for nothing.”

The elderly members of the support group gathered in the office on the first floor of the Humint Tower, which was like a love room, chatting while checking the monitor outside the window.

The Humint Tower is completely soundproofed, so if you close the windows, no matter how loudly you talk through the loudspeaker outside, the sound won’t reach you.

If you close the swing door properly and only use the revolving door to enter and exit, no outside noise will come in.

Without even knowing it, everyone is suffering in vain.

“Shouldn’t we talk to the police chief about this so he can kick those guys out?”

“Leave it. Congressman Ha is saying that if they keep doing that, they’ll get tired of each other.”

“I’m sure Representative Ha has a different idea.”

“It looks to me like they’re deliberately leaving me alone to let me go through some hardships.”

“Then what if only the shops and houses around this building are damaged?”

“I told you not to worry about the rich, you idiot. You can take a break from business or go on a long trip and figure it out.”

“If anyone heard this, they would know you’re not rich.”

The weather is dry and the sun is very hot today.

The faces of the protesters holding placards and shouting, reflected on the monitor, were filled with the agony of wanting to die.

Eventually, some protesters could no longer stand it and started leaving one by one.

It’s been several days since the protests began, but Ha Su-young hasn’t even gone to work, so it’s disheartening.

“But is it true that the community center is being closed?”

“I think so. I heard that Cheongdam-dong will be the first to close as a pilot project.”

“We can’t help but close down our neighborhood. Do you know how old the youngest employee is among those who work at the community center in Cheongdam-dong right now?”

“How old are you?”

“Don’t be surprised. I’m 52 years old. 52 years old.”

“Wow. No, 52 is the oldest.”

“If you think about it simply, in eight years there will be no one working at the community center.”

“I heard that all the young civil servants are leaving, but I heard that their places are being filled by friends who don’t study and just play around.”

“Our center director never accepted bad guys. Also, the guys that the center director would like have already resigned and gone to farms and ranches.”

Lower-level civil servants and faculty members.

These two fields are now facing the threat of ecosystem extinction due to a serious talent shortage.

The days of young civil servants being subjected to harassment are now a thing of the past.

In front of the ‘moral ex-convicts’ who wandered in their childhood and later changed their minds, even malicious complainants often became docile lambs.

There was a time when a genuine complainant who had been harassing young, new civil servants by consistently filing malicious complaints was tracked down and beaten to death by a young new recruit with a ‘moral record’.

The newbie went to jail, but the real complainant was left with a permanent disability, limping whenever he walks.

After the Ulleung County Citizens’ Daily reported this incident in detail, the number of malicious complaints decreased dramatically.

The escalation of civil servants with moral convictions was quite famous.

“Look, teacher. It’s only natural that I’m bad at my job. I didn’t learn anything, and since I came here, no one has taught me how to do my job.”

“No, ma’am. I’m told to process 70 cases a day, and it takes 20 minutes to process one. Since the work hours are 8 hours, I can only process 24 cases a day. What should I do about the remaining 46 cases? I’ll just have to wait.”

“If you don’t like it, then go file a complaint with the government to hire more employees at the local government office! Stop filing useless complaints to us and come!”

“I should be grateful that I work for this low wage. Even though my friends who were good at studying ran away because they couldn’t do it, I can’t help but be grateful that they came and saved my position.”

It’s generally like this.

The funny thing is that this kind of stretching of theirs is actually getting quite a lot of response.

Although the moral convicts were clumsy and rough at work, they treated ordinary citizens with sincerity.

However, his true personality came out when he acted even a little rudely towards the complainants.

“It’s our Cheongdam-dong. It seems the old people have given up and given up, saying that they would rather beat up rough guys with their bodies than fight them.”

“If the community center is abolished, what will happen to civil affairs? Will Freedom handle it?”

“Probably so.”

* * *

Freedom filled the gap left by the disappearance of young, working-level officials below Grade 7 in the public service.

The everyday civil complaint system that deals directly with individual complainants screams, but this is the reason why the public system appears to run without problems.

The work of office workers who rarely dealt with complainants was almost entirely handled by Freedom.

Civil servants in their mid-40s or older were feeling a sense of insecurity in the public service atmosphere where new recruits were no longer coming in.

“Did you hear? The Cheongdam-dong community center was completely closed today.”

“Huh, really? Wow, I never thought a day like this would come. So how are the residents of Cheongdam-dong going to solve their daily civil complaints?”

“They said that you can do it through Freedom’s civil service service. Freedom handles everything, including issuing civil IDs and seal certificates. They send them directly to your home.”

“Isn’t this actually more convenient for the residents?”

In fact, with the closure of the Cheongdam-dong Community Center, Cheongdam-dong residents felt that the civil service had become more convenient.

There was no need to go to the community center, take a number, wait, fill out the necessary documents, and wait for the certificate to be issued.

Just tell Freedom, which is installed on your smartphone, what services you need and it will listen.

The issuance of identification cards and other certificates was delivered to the home, and in fact, this is the purpose of more than 90% of people visiting the community center.

There was no one in Cheongdam-dong who was eligible for welfare support such as being designated as a basic livelihood security recipient.

There were some, but they were all either illegal beneficiaries or fake residents.

The original community center was remodeled and opened as a community shelter.

“Thanks to our Representative Ha, I feel like our country’s finances are improving day by day.”

“That’s right. How much did you earn in France this time?

“Our companies produce everything from toothpaste to TVs for use in France and sell them exclusively. The government’s annual tax revenue from that alone is said to be in the tens of trillions of won.”

“If the corporate tax collected from exporting companies is that much, then the export volume must be huge.”

“A country with a population of nearly 60 million people is monopolizing the export of goods, so of course they should give us that much.”

“Since Rep. Ha is the head of the Integrated Tax Office and has special management, tax evasion is out of the question.”

“There’s no way I wouldn’t get caught. Freedom is watching.”

“By the way, when will those protesters disperse? I’m starting to feel proud now.”

“Yeah. It’s so hot outside today that I can’t even stand for 10 minutes.”

* * *

It took quite some time for the investigation into unpaid military service members’ compensation to be completed.

The calculation itself is over in a matter of seconds once Freedom comes out.

However, it took time to collect a large amount of data to produce statistics, and not all of the data existed in a digitized form.

Fortunately, by deploying more than 10,000 Android Freedom units to input analog data and collect various testimonies, the physical data collection investigation period was drastically reduced.

“It was a huge task that required mobilizing 100,000 people and working for over 5 years without even being able to finish collecting all the data.”

The Minister of Defense spoke with a look of emotion on his face.

“Thank you for your hard work, Minister.”

“So how much was the total compensation?”

“But it didn’t go all the way to Gyeong.”

“Hey, you didn’t even go to Gyeonggi… … ”

The Minister of Defense opened his mouth and was unable to continue speaking.

Does that mean it came out in the trillions of won?

“Freedom, how much money did you extort from China?”

“It’s 420 trillion won. It’s one unit short of paying the full amount of compensation.”

“Do this. Divide the compensation into 100 percentiles based on the amount. The first percentile gets 100%, the second percentile gets 99%, and so on, and deduct 1% each and pay it out first. Pay the same 10% from the 91st to the 100th percentiles. For those who are having financial difficulties right now, be flexible enough to pay up to 100%.”

“Okay. Then, will the remaining compensation be paid out as a pension from the taxes paid by French companies?”

“That’s right.”

It’s paying the salaries of hundreds of thousands of people who have worked for over 70 years.

The hundreds of trillions of won ripped off from China are nothing compared to that.

So Ha Su-yeong took measures to allow the French to engage in economic activities in the occupied territories.

The huge taxes that would have originally gone to the French central and local governments will become a cash cow that will make up for the lost years of conscripts.

“You should also give me some personal advice so that I can moderate my consumption and investment to prevent inflation from exploding too much.”

“Yes. We will induce you to deposit as much of it as possible into long-term savings accounts.”

“I’m trying to scare you a bit by saying that you’ll suffer losses if inflation hits. I’m trying to coax you well so that you don’t fall into the economic logic prisoner’s dilemma. I trust you.”

The Minister of National Defense was at a loss for words when the matter he had been worried about was easily resolved.

“I was worried that it wouldn’t end well, but now I can rest easy. Thank you.”

“I will distribute it in the most fair way possible, so everyone will understand. If you don’t understand this, I can suppress you with my authority because you are a person who has adapted to society.”

“….”

The Minister of National Defense, who felt the tension, just let out an awkward laugh.

“Well, let’s say we’ve finished processing the compensation by splitting it into a lump sum and a pension, but the real work of our military is just beginning.”

“yes?”

“As I was investigating the salary compensation, all sorts of military corruption cases came to light. There were also countless suspicious deaths in the military. Of course, it all seemed like the statute of limitations had ‘passed.’”

“Wow, Your Majesty?”

“The real thing starts now.”
