Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 211 The Consortium's Despicable Means

Hearing Jian Qianou's words, Lin Lan immediately understood what the old fox meant.

This is to let him come to help clean the door.

But next month, Qi Yue also invited him to visit Yunhai City.

Lin Lan thought for a moment, then looked at Bismarck.

Seeing that Bismarck nodded to him, Lin Lan said:
"In that case, I will come to Yunhai City next month."

"At that time, I will contact you."

As the most prosperous big city in the Western Continent, Yunhai City is by sea from his port area, and it takes about three days to travel in a straight line on a mass-produced destroyer.

After all, with the protection of the iron-blooded fleet, he doesn't need to take the route, just take the shortest route.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lan glanced at the date on the phone, it was two weeks before next month.

It was mid-October at this time, and even though the sun was shining outside the office, it could already feel that the weather was getting colder.

Lin Lan has already added an extra piece of clothing to himself.

It has been almost a year and a half since Lin Lan traveled to the United States of Oran.

Having experienced winter once, he knows very well that around November, Oran will officially enter winter.

In Oran in winter, whether it is the eastern continent or the western continent, the coasts of many cities in the north will freeze.

As a result, transporting supplies through rivers and seas will also become difficult.

Many cities in Oran will prepare winter supplies in advance.

Fortunately, all the equipment and daily necessities in his port area are currently abundant, and the iron-blooded floating island fortress beside the port area has also begun to take shape.

Under the combination of Manjiu and Muscular Meow, the huge floating island fortress basically changes every day, which can be said to be quite efficient.

After the fortress is repaired, many materials and equipment can be transferred from the current temporary warehouse in the port area to the fortress.

Before he goes to Yunhai City, he will definitely let all the ship girls stay.

He also sometimes thinks about whether it is really necessary to build a floating island fortress here since they will return to the old port area anyway.

But later he also figured it out. When he returned to the port area, it was not that he would not return to Oran.

The ancient emperor still had his own palace. If he wanted to go back to Oran again, this would be an excellent holiday residence.

Anyway, the construction of the floating island fortress did not waste resources and energy.

The material is siren, the energy is directly transformed by ocean energy, and the manpower is provided by his jiu and muscular meow.

Thinking of this, he was relieved.

Today, Bismarck was accompanying him as the secretary ship, so Lin Lan asked Bismarck curiously:

"Speaking of which, Bismarck, can we communicate with other camps now?"

After all, it has been quite a long time since I talked with the flagship representatives of other camps through virtual images in the Jagged Fortress.

Therefore, Lin Lan also wanted to know how the other camps were doing.

"Unfortunately, Commander, because the ultra-long-distance communication equipment is really difficult to relocate, it is currently managed by Frederick. We are currently unable to contact other camps."

Bismarck said sternly, and at the same time explained the reason:
"That device requires a huge energy supply and the cooperation of Commander Meow. Therefore, Commander, we can resume communication with other camps only after Frederick and the others arrive."

After hearing Bismarck's answer, Lin Lan spread out on the chair behind the desk, feeling a little disappointed.

It is also about half a month from the planned time of Frederick the Great's arrival.

Everything happened by coincidence.

Seeing that Lin Lan seemed a little depressed, Bismarck got up from the sofa, picked up a cup of hot coffee that she had just made on the tea table, and placed it on Lin Lan's table.

"Commander, don't worry, I have contacted other factions before coming here from the fortress, and they are all fine so far."

Hearing what Bismarck said, Lin Lan sat up, moved the hot coffee in front of him, tasted the refreshing aroma of the coffee, looked curiously at Bismarck in front of him and asked:
"Oh? Then tell me how they are doing recently?"

After thinking for a while, Bismarck seriously began to recall:
"Commander, let me first talk about the White Eagle camp that is closest to us."

"When Brunhilde and the others went to White Eagle, it wasn't long before White Eagle took over the consortium, and they were even cleaning up the remaining high-level consortia that resisted."

"Now that consortium has accepted its fate. In Saratoga's words, it has influenced them with the spirit of the beacon of freedom. Many workers from the consortium even took the initiative to build sculptures for them."

Originally, Lin Lan listened to Bismarck's words, blowing the steam of the hot coffee in his hand, and just took a sip into his mouth.

When he heard the consortium worker being influenced by the white eagle, he didn't hold back, but choked on the coffee, and a lot of coffee spilled out.

"Ah, Commander, is the coffee I made too bitter? Sorry, I'll get you a tissue right away."

Seeing a lot of coffee spilled on Lin Lan's table, Bismarck, who was originally calm, showed panic and wanted to step forward to help.

"It's not about the coffee, what did you just say, can you say it again?"

Lin Lan suppressed the shock in his heart, and waved his hand that Bismarck didn't need to help.

After pulling out the paper towel beside the table, he wiped his hands and the coffee on the table while looking at Bismarck with shocked eyes.

"Well... Saratoga didn't specify the specific situation. According to my speculation, it may be because the consortium squeezed the workers too hard."

Hearing Bismarck's analysis, Lin Lan suddenly realized.

It's all too possible.

The three major consortiums in the Eastern Continent are the Skystar Consortium, the Goylia Consortium, and the Noah Dexin Financial Merchant Group.

Except for the Tianxing Consortium, the other two are very typical vampire consortiums.

Whether it is the Goelia Consortium that monopolizes the energy and mining industry of the Eastern Continent, or the Noah Dexin Business Group that has risen by virtue of the cheap labor dispatch industry.

These two big consortiums are colluding, making many Oran people in the Eastern Continent or Liaozhou people who come to work from Liaozhou hate it deeply, and they have nothing to do.

At the Hongye Naval Academy at that time, Lin Lan heard from his classmates that there were family members working in these two large consortiums.

In order to earn the most benefits from employees at the lowest cost, these two big consortiums can be said to be doing everything they can.

First, the leather bag company of the Noah Dexin Merchant Group recruited a large number of workers with falsely high remuneration and a good working environment.

Afterwards, these workers will be dispatched by the Noah Dexin Merchant Group to the Goelia Consortium and become so-called "expatriate workers".

Not only is the workload several times higher than what was stated in the previous recruitment, even the salary will be deducted for various reasons.

What made the workers even more angry was that before the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce seized power, the United States of Oran had a regulation that the company had to provide full-time employees with compensation for work-related injuries and occupational diseases.

However, after becoming dispatched workers, when workers suffer from occupational diseases or work-related injuries, and want to seek compensation from the Goelia Foundation...

But they will be told that, as expatriate workers, they must seek the compensation from the company they applied for.

When the workers finally found a leather bag company of the Noah Dexin Merchant Group, they will find a surprise.

That is, the leather bag company has "bankrupted".

By this time, these poor workers will either face unemployment, or they will have to continue working as expatriate workers in the Goelia Consortium.

The Goelia Consortium will also draw big pies in due course, such as how long it takes to get full-time employees, how many years it takes to get salary increases, and so on.

This method has been tried and tested repeatedly by the two consortiums, because they have become the rulers and monopolies of the Eastern Continent, and they are completely unscrupulous.

Even if some workers go to the court to file a lawsuit, it is impossible to get a little compensation, and even the complainant will pay a lot of money back.

You know, going to the trial court to file a complaint also costs money.

As Hongye College, the highest institution of the Ministry of the Navy, many of Lin Lan's classmates have already seen through these shady scenes.

However, more ordinary people in Orlando or migrant workers from other countries have been caught in the trap of these two consortiums, and it is difficult to get out.

At that time, Lin Lan didn't find it strange after listening to all the stories of his classmates in the college.

Because when he was in Blue Star, he was used to seeing such disgusting tricks caused by capitalists in the history books.

It's just that the guys who play these tricks have all been hanged on the street lights by the working class led by Blue Star's Northern United.

The reason why he is so shocked now is because he never imagined that what should have been done by the Northern United was actually done by the White Eagle!
