The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 381 Someone Always Pays for the War

As the second fleet of the Trisolarans went further and further away, and entered the speed of light again, the second and sixth legions in charge of the rear began to retreat at full speed.

The war is over, and the industrial production of the countries in the solar system has also begun to undergo major adjustments.

In the factory, only the warships that have already started to be built are completed, and then work stops.

Rey Diaz once joked that the countries in the solar system will not need to build warships for 300 years.

Because there are currently more than 5 warships of various types in the solar system, and the number of troops has exceeded tens of millions. It is the most powerful space military force in human history!
Over the past year, the workers have worked overtime and never had a break. Now the ruling government of the solar system country will give them a one-month paid vacation.

As for the warship parts that are not used up in the factory, they will all be transferred to the logistics department of the Ministry of National Defense for use as reserve parts.

When the vacation is over and the workers start working again, they will start building new civilian warships.

In the past, countries in the solar system did not dare to use the most advanced technology for civilian use. Now that the war is over, it is time for the people to enjoy the benefits of the most advanced technology.

It is estimated that a spacecraft equipped with a new type of nuclear engine can reach Jupiter from the earth in twelve days, but now this journey generally takes more than 30 to 40 days.

Workers in other factories participating in military production have also been given paid holidays, and most of them will start to switch to civilian production after the holidays.

Only a few factories, such as the factories that produce J135 and J145, and the factory that produces nuclear fuel for military use on Neptune, continue to operate, but they will also have double or triple salaries in the next month.

The other is the martyr's pension. Since the second month of the "Second War", it has been distributed to the families of the martyrs.

According to Jiang Yu's request, the amount was set very high, equal to the martyr's salary during his lifetime.

The beneficiaries are two generations, wives or husbands and children, and parents and brothers and sisters who are unmarried.

During the war, industrial production used up a lot of resources of the solar system country. Although under the state of military control, the ruling government's finances did not have a big burden, but this was indeed a loss for the solar system country.

And this war did not bring huge benefits, but also brought a huge burden of pensions.

While the Solar System Country was negotiating with PDC and Fleet International, Rey Diaz, who was the steward of the Solar System Country, discussed with Jiang Yu.

The two agreed that most of the losses and burdens should be transferred to PDC and Fleet International, and a small part should be transferred to war criminals.

Someone has to pay for the war.

After Sophon began to live in seclusion, Zhuang Yue began to accept the puppet army from Sophon.

The puppet army has a total of more than 800 million young and middle-aged laborers. They have all been convicted of crimes against humanity and will face reform through labor ranging from 30 to 50 years.

Some more difficult positions, such as miners in the main small star belt and the Kuiper belt.

Or more dangerous positions, such as hydrogen-helium mines very close to giant gas planets.

Or more difficult positions, such as space construction workers.

All similar positions will be assumed by war criminals.

Of course, there will be certain policy inclinations for technical talents and scientific research talents.

Today's labor force is highly intelligent. These positions are hard work, and there are still basic security guarantees, and they don't need to work directly, and there will be no large-scale death of captives in history.

As Jiang Yu said, everyone should be responsible for their own choices. Back then, these people had to join the puppet army instead of joining the rebel army. Then they had to face the bitter fruit of this choice back then.

It is better for the puppet army to fall into the hands of Zhuang Yue than to fall into the hands of the PDC.

Now the people of PDC and Fleet International are yelling at the countries of the solar system, and they don't care about scolding the puppet army. If the puppet army falls into their hands in the future, then the puppet army will have a dead end!
Even though almost everyone has applied to join the puppet army, but now that the Trisolarans have left, the people of PDC and Fleet International will never forgive them.

Rey Diaz was able to deal with the puppet army through labor reform, mainly because although the loss of the puppet army was huge, it did not bring many casualties to the highly intelligent First Army, so the First Army The puppet army did not have much hatred.

As for whether PDC and Fleet International can bear most of the losses of the solar system countries, it depends on their ability to compete.

The property confiscated before is considered the first compensation, but those properties are not enough to make up for the war damage of the solar system country.

If they have the ability to repay the compensation Jiang Yu set for them, then it's okay to say, if they can't, then don't blame the solar system country for being cruel.

The situation was just as Jiang Yu expected. Under enough pressure on PDC and Fleet International, Cheng Ping, the director of PDC headquarters in Australia, took the opportunity to become the new rotating chairman of PDC.

As soon as he came to power, he recognized the existing territory of the solar system country.

Then Cheng Ping leased the southern part of Africa and South America to the solar system countries as an area to relieve the pressure on Australia's population.

And lease space construction equipment from solar system countries, purchase a large number of space industrial products, and prepare to build colonies on the moon and Mars to completely relieve Australia's population pressure.

The last is to buy a large amount of food and power generation facilities from the solar system country, and pay the bill with natural resources.

After Rey Diaz and Jiang Yu heard Cheng Ping's actions, they knew that the PDC's strength was not exhausted.

The PDC on the earth doesn't have much territory, but when the solar system countries were still in a weak position, the PDC acquired a large amount of territory on the moon and the Martian circle, and now is the time to eat their old roots.

The intelligence department immediately gave Cheng Ping's resume. It turned out that he was a man from AD, and he was a staff member of the PDC before hibernation.

After being awakened, continue to serve in the PDC.

Cheng Ping had denounced the PDC for its corruption and carelessness a few years ago, but after being boycotted, he began to endure it. Until now, the hardliners have won the support of the public, and Cheng Ping has been able to display his ambitions.

Cheng Ping sent a new negotiator to Mobei Farm. Rey Diaz had a good chat with the new representative and agreed to order a batch of food aid on the spot.

Rey Diaz said with a smile: "Your new chairman is a man of courage. The Wallfacers and I both like this kind of person."

A few polite words representing neither humble nor overbearing, and then sighed: "Now the population has become the biggest pressure on PDC.

"Although the fertility rate has been declining in the previous half century, the population has only decreased by more than one billion in the past 60 years."

Rey Diaz also nodded: "We also believe that the population of the earth is between 40 billion and 50 billion, which is the healthiest.

"It's not that there is no food to feed so many people now, but that the main labor force is no longer human.

"The huge productivity and demographic dividend brought by population are gone, but the more high-end technological dividend is becoming more and more popular.

“In such a state, overpopulation becomes bloated.

"Comparatively speaking, the Solar System State is like a healthy thin person, while the PDC is a bloated obese patient."

These words made the representative of PDC very satisfied.

Rey Diaz suddenly changed the topic: "Now the solar system country is willing to help you reduce the burden. Citizens of Chinese nationality and Venezuelan nationality can return to their homeland to live, but they must obey the management of the solar system country."

PDC representatives immediately realized that this was the ultimate goal of Rey Diaz in this negotiation.

Then he recalled that these two countries were the countries where the wallfacers and consuls of the solar system countries were born, and they were their former motherlands.

　Thanks to [Kong Qi] for the 100-point reward.
