Chapter 624 Not Suitable

Yuri lives in a place like Bailiu Street, and often organizes local residents to do some activities to repair public facilities. His students often conduct investigations and come to him as a life mentor for help. Under such contact conditions, Yuri, a Roman, is relatively familiar with the gangs in the lower city of Stim.

And he has his own views.

Looking back at history, when the gangs with underworld characteristics were first formed, many of them actually had some self-protection intentions. It was the natural group nature of human beings, hoping to obtain physical or spiritual security through this.

Not only gangs, but also religions are of similar nature.

There are more than a dozen large gangs in the lower city of Stim, and there are even more small groups that struggle in the cracks of strange terrain and are restricted by large gangs. These gangs seem to be of the same character to outsiders, doing nothing good and making people avoid them, but they are different if you observe them in depth.

For example, the dock is a fertile place, often controlled by large gangs.

However, in order to protect their own interests (jobs, commissions, taxes, etc.), dock workers in the early days, with tendons and sticks, gathered together to form a typical self-protection gang such as the dock gang. They usually only guarded their own workplaces, and they might not even have a gang name, and they were extremely low-key.

The degree of harm of this gang was determined by Yuri to be weak, and it was completely possible to transform it.

And there is another kind of gang with a relatively high degree of harm.

Its predecessor may also be a self-protection mutual aid worker like the dock gang, but with the expansion of its power and the discovery of some faster means of making money, it quickly degenerated and became an out-and-out gang without ideological constraints. By the way, if the autonomous association was not restrained by the official identity of the [Suppression Bureau], Yuri believed that it might also become a gang in a few years.

There is a kind of business in this world that makes money the fastest, a business with no capital. .

Of course, doing this kind of business with no capital often means that it is an illegal act and will be executed. When there is an environment and power, the gang members' chivalry, life-long friendship, and what not to do, all have to stand aside. From self-protection and safety to becoming an oppressor, it actually only takes a few steps.

A student named Angelo collected information about the carriage company.

The company implemented a fixed salary, with each driver earning 4 soli per day and 3 pounds per month. But the driver only got 25 pence, which was not enough for daily porridge, and most of the rest was deducted by the foreman with gang background. If you dare to be disrespectful, you may be put in a sack, knocked unconscious, and thrown into the Taylor River to feed the fish.

What's more amazing is that the foreman (gang background) who is a member of the workers can not only eat the lower ones, but also eat some upper ones without background!

Some small factory owners without background must give these gangs so-called meeting gifts to recruit workers. In addition, sometimes they have to hold their noses and endure the relatives of gang members who come in to eat free meals. These people basically just put their names on the salary and act as foremen directly.

This is why, in STEAM, any larger factory basically has some factory guards. In addition to being able to act as thugs to suppress the untouchables who are unwilling to be grateful, they also have to be on guard against jackals coming to bite them. [Liaoyuan Commune] is also planning to absorb a group of backbones from the autonomous association to become the pickets of the future new industrial park. In this regard, Lin En and Yuri are very active in reaching out to the retired soldiers of the military.

After all, in this world, when it comes to killing, few people can compare to soldiers.

In this era, soldiers exist to kill as a profession.

If you are given a chance, believe me, I would rather travel to a supernatural horror movie than to a battlefield where artillery fire is flying and the army is killing. People can't stand the abnormal death rate of one in ten thousand in a community, and the death rate of a battlefield, especially a battlefield with hot weapons, is directly heading for more than 50%.

In the gang data that Lin En had compiled and completed, it was recorded in detail how the gangs used violence, drugs, intimidation, fraud and other means to make the lives of people in the downtown area even more difficult. These data included everything from prostitution, gambling, drugs, fraud, robbery and theft.

To be honest, when Lin En first saw this detailed data that seemed to be permeated with blood and tears, he had an impulse to let Bill, who was extremely cruel to gang members, take full responsibility for the suppression of the downtown area during the development. If it was Bill, it would definitely scare the gangs.

But leaving all such things to Bill was obviously a behavior that only wanted to feel good and didn't think about it, so after the initial oversight, Lin En was thinking about how to solve the problem.

Yuri gave him a timely assist.

The bald man said that if Lin En was willing to spend some energy and time, he might have a way to solve these tumors, but he just needed manpower and a little publicity.

Lin En actually knows how to deal with this kind of gang that has become a force to be reckoned with. There are hundreds or even thousands of people, and some of them may have armed forces. The composition is so complicated. There are those who live by the sea, those who dig the land, those who protect themselves, foreigners who do not speak the language, and people from different villages. If they are divided by occupational function, this is simply a cancer, enough to make the people in power of this era choose to cooperate and recruit them after they feel that the cost of eradication is not worth the cost.

There are two ways to deal with them. One is that the army directly suppresses them with force, implements military management, puts on bayonets, bullets, and even explosive packs and shells, and cleans up one area after another. This method will smash the relevant areas to pieces.

The other is to mobilize the people, so that more people can realize that unity is strength, which is like steel. Once the gang loses its intimidation and coercion, no one will be willing to approach them, and soon their seemingly prosperous business will collapse in an instant. This is what Yuri wants to do. The autonomous association has done some basic work, and he is ready to use slogans and some actions to drain the soil under the gang.

I'm afraid that only the big bald man can do this, and Lin En is not suitable.

A very important reason is that Lin En is too delicate.

It can be said that he is incompatible with the lower city. Even if he takes off his uniform and works honestly with everyone else, getting dirty, others think he is a spoiled noble young master, and there is a natural generation gap.
