The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

Suharto's death marked the end of a period of struggle in East Timor, but the country's independence and construction had just begun.

Yu Bo, the commander of the Tatamailao Mountain guerrillas, was handing over his work to Daur, who had taken over as the commander-in-chief of the Tongan Revolutionary Front. Yu Bo handed over the roster, official seal and uniform, and said: "The things that the previous commander handed over to me are all here; the team that the previous commander handed over to me, I have expanded it several times, and I have returned it to you. From now on, I am no longer the commander of the Western Division, I am going back to Giant God Company........."

Daur saluted Yu Bo solemnly and said: "Your name will be recorded in the history of East Timor. The guerrillas will never forget that there was a foreigner who led them out of the crisis when the guerrillas were in the most dangerous time..."

"I have fought the good fight. Now, it is time to move on..." Yu Bo said, "After Suharto's death, the newly elected President Habibie had to face a series of troubles. He no longer had the energy to force East Timor to stay in Indonesia. Indonesia's current situation made it impossible for it to launch another military operation to invade East Timor. The news we received was that Habibie was ready to formally announce that East Timor would hold an independence referendum. Of course, this was just a face-saving measure for Indonesia. However, if East Timor is to obtain a seat in the United Nations, the referendum process involving the United Nations is indispensable."

"We understand that there will be no problems with the referendum. The people of East Timor have suffered from Indonesian colonialism for a long time. We have also cleared out those pro-Indonesian forces. The result of the referendum will not be unexpected."

Yu Bo added: "Another piece of news is that Indonesia is preparing to release Xanana Gusmao. East Timor's independence and formal establishment is almost on the agenda, which also means that the contract you signed with Giant God Company has come to fulfillment."

Chapter 91: Preparing to Enter the United Nations

East Timor is going to become an independent country.

Although in the current situation, the "joint venture country" of East Timor currently has the military power to "keep Indonesia out of the country", if East Timor wants to return to the world stage normally, such as becoming a member of the United Nations, it will inevitably have to go through some procedures, such as holding a referendum under the supervision of the United Nations to vote to secede from Indonesia.

East Timor needs to show the United Nations and the world that there is a regime here that can bring order, that this is a land where order has been restored and that the people here have gained security. Otherwise, it is hard to say that the United Nations will not take over here for a few years to set up a transitional government or something.

Since victory came so quickly, the Tongren Front did not have enough time to train a new administrative team to take over the country.

The only way is to select suitable people from the guerrillas, give them a crash course, and then assign them to the grassroots to take over the country.

It is a helpless act. Apart from the guerrillas, can you select a more suitable group of people to take over the power of the grassroots government? You can't just cooperate with the local landlords again.

The 20-year war provided the most important fuel for East Timor, which was originally a "scattered sand", to build a national community, namely "common memories of suffering". The 20-year war of independence made the guerrillas enjoy high prestige in society. At the local level, many East Timorese who had not yet completed prenatal education were also willing to believe in these guerrillas.

This also includes the Jushen Security Force, which has a remarkable record. Before the UN-supervised referendum began, the "East Timor Police" established by the Jushen Security Force and some guerrillas was the main force in maintaining security in East Timor.

The current situation in East Timor is both chaotic and abstract. It is not that if the Indonesians are driven away, East Timor will be harmonious and the people will live a good life and prosper. Such an idea is too idealistic.

After driving out the Indonesians, there was indeed a sense of "relief" and "relaxation" in East Timor.

The East Timorese seem to have no sense of time. They are still wandering on the street in the middle of the night, or sitting on the roadside or on the wall smoking. Even the animals here are infected with this "relaxed feeling". Roosters crow anytime and anywhere, even at 2 o'clock in the morning; hens here can fly to big trees or roofs to roost, whether you like it or not; pigs and horses here are still wandering on the street in the middle of the night, just as leisurely as the East Timorese here; dogs here specifically sleep in the middle of the road in the middle of the night, and don't care whether your car will run over them. Sometimes your car drives next to them and you honk the horn several times before they reluctantly and lazily run over.

He stood up proudly and walked away.

Along with this "relaxation" is the problem of abuse of violence. The grassroots people have very low psychological pressure to use violence to solve problems. During the period of Indonesian rule, weak groups had to rely on each other for survival, thus forming many small groups and gangs. At present, although the Indonesians have left, East Timor itself is still poor. Due to economic pressure, these small groups are gradually transformed into underworld forces that extort money. If there is no intervention as soon as possible, it will not take long for this country to become a "Latin American" gangster country.

One afternoon, when the player was driving around the city to trigger a random mission, he was suddenly stopped by a passerby. The passerby spoke incoherently, and even the translation given in the game was intermittent, with only some keywords. But at least some keywords were translated, such as "stores smashed" and "hundreds of people fighting". After the player asked for the location, he drove directly to the place where hundreds of people were fighting, regardless of the fact that there were only two players and two NPC friendly forces in the car.

When the player drove to the market, he saw that hundreds of people in the market were divided into two groups and fought each other. Wooden sticks, bricks, stones, and iron bars were all their weapons. The shouting and roaring of both sides mixed together, and it was a mess. A man with messy patterns tattooed all over his skin raised a wooden stick and smashed it hard on a vendor's head. The vendor hurriedly dodged, but was still hit on the shoulder by the wooden stick, which made him grimace in pain. However, the vendor was not to be outdone and grabbed a fruit knife from the stall and waved it. The tattooed brother was caught off guard and hurriedly used the wooden stick in his hand to block, but the kitchen knife still left a deep wound on his arm, and the blood instantly dyed his sleeves red.

"Stop it, all of you!" the player who got out of the car shouted loudly, but... compared with such a chaotic scene, the voice of an individual was still too small, so the player decisively took out an assault rifle from the trunk of the car and fired into the air.

"Da da da da........"

The two groups of people fighting on the scene subconsciously covered their heads and lay down or looked for cover. Then, both sides finally saw two people in police uniforms (free from LAPD) and two people in military uniforms standing at the entrance of the market.

"Everyone, put down your weapons! Kneel down on the ground and hold your head!" After seeing who was coming, the hundreds of people who had just been fighting passionately

The people were basically obedient, not only because of the other party's identity, but also because of the guns in their hands. Not to mention the guerrillas in military uniforms, just the two foreigners in police uniforms, their "notoriety" is well known in East Timor.

They often used a small force to defeat a larger one, making the Indonesian regular army tremble in fear, not to mention all of you present here.

However, not everyone present was completely honest. There were a few people wearing black clothes, black pants, white belts around their waists, with murderous looks on their faces. They looked down on the players and shouted, "Police, get out! Don't interfere in our business!" One of them bent down, picked up a stone and prepared to...

But how could the player let him pick up stones and throw them at him? The damage of that thing is not high, but the damage to the face is high! A player quickly took out a strange-looking pistol and pulled the trigger decisively. The next second, the guy who picked up the stone fell to the ground with convulsions all over his body...

"Taser? Where did you get that?"

"Of course I got it for free from the LAPD..."

In this way, two players and two friendly NPCs escorted hundreds of prisoners back to the police station and seized a large number of weapons, such as machetes, iron rods, "wolf-tooth clubs, and a large rake used by "Zhu Bajie". This police station is called a police station, but in fact it is a two-story building with a yard that is temporarily rented. There is not even a sign of the police station. At least from the outside, it does not look like a police station at all. These hundreds of people were brought here and had no place to stay.

While the player was interrogating the case and complaining that the house was too small, and was about to send a message to the Tongkat Ali Group asking them to allocate more funds to build a proper police station, he saw a message @all members in the chat group.

Yu Bo: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers who came to play the police temporarily, but you may have more hard work in the future. Just now, the leader of the Tongren Front said that the Tongren Front does not have the money to build a proper police system, so they are going to outsource this business to Jushen Company. They have no cash to pay, but they are willing to use part of the future offshore oil revenue as collateral to let us build a police system and maintain public order, after all, this is related to the East Timor independence referendum. So, brothers who came to play the police temporarily, congratulations, now each of you can become a local police chief @ all members."

Chapter 92: Becoming a Police Chief from Scratch (Part 1)

"Ah? Police work is directly outsourced? We have some experience in this, whether it is working in the security department in Northeast China or doing community work in Los Angeles.

Security, we have all experienced similar things........By the way, what else is the interim transitional government of East Timor going to outsource?"

"There are so many things. This interim government seems to only care about the military, judiciary, finance, taxation, foreign trade, etc. After all, the interim government of East Timor is extremely poor, and other aspects are not

We don’t want to do it, but we don’t have the money. So, they are ready to outsource a lot of things to us, such as public health and medical services, public transportation, infrastructure construction, education, cultural tourism, etc.”

"This really fits the description of a 'joint venture country'..." "How many choices does a poor and small country have?"

After going through the formalities, the player finally moved from the previous small house to another house with a larger area. This house used to belong to the Indonesian government, but now that the Indonesian forces have been driven away, the house naturally fell into the hands of the Tongkat Ali and the Giant God Company. The house is located next to the main traffic artery, close to the largest local market (also the place with the most trouble), and can quickly respond to the police. There are also enough houses and large courtyards with relatively well-preserved facilities, which are enough to accommodate front desk reception, police office, interrogation and detention.

"Alas, what a pity, there are no wreaths, ribbon cutting, or singing and dancing to celebrate the official opening of our Dili City XX District Police Station."

"If you want, you can go get your assault rifle and shoot a few rounds into the sky to celebrate!"

Then, several players who played the guest police officers began to look at each other in bewilderment. The other twenty NPCs who were assigned to this branch were also confused. They just sat there and waited for cases to come to them?

"What to do next........"

"How about we get a feel for the situation? I'm interning in the government, and when I hear our leaders talk, they always say 'get a clear picture of the situation, set up a ledger...'"

"Okay, then search! Search our bureau and this place inside and out!"

As the newly appointed branch director, in the spirit of "a new official takes three fires upon taking office", the player decided to find out the bottom line and establish a ledger like the leader of the xx unit. He arranged two guerrillas with the highest cultural level who transferred to the branch to find out the logistics supply of the branch, such as how many vehicles, communication equipment, tables and chairs, generators, office equipment, office supplies, etc.

With several other NPCs in charge of the branch, the others are divided into multiple teams to go out and visit, with one player leading several NPCs.

Patrolling the streets and getting to know the situation!

Patrolling has its benefits, for example, armed police officers can deter criminals, and they can also build closer relationships with local residents, which may lead to some useful clues. Moreover, players do not patrol aimlessly, but walk towards the first person they are going to visit.

The first patrol team found the local "village chief". The heads of all the local blocks were called "village chiefs". The "village chief"'s family was not rich. The house was built by the locals with their own bricks. It was dark inside. The tables, chairs and benches were very old and dirty.

The "village chief" is just an ordinary local, a little over 1.6 meters tall, with skin tanned by the equatorial sun.

His bare feet were covered in mud, and the shorts he was wearing were made by cutting off the legs of long trousers. In his hand he was holding a machete, which was both the most commonly used tool and the most commonly used weapon in every local household.

Fortunately, the players did not empty the magazines at the "village chief" with a machete like the American police did. The two sides were awkward for a while, then introduced each other and sat down. The player explained to him the purpose of his visit: "We have just established a police station in District XX. As a police officer, I need to understand the local situation, so I have to visit all the "village chiefs", and you are the first person I will visit."

After listening to the player's introduction, especially the player talking about being from the Giant God Company and the people who came with him had served in the Tongkat Ali guerrillas, the "village chief"'s doubts were dispelled a lot, and the topic quickly went from simple to complex, starting with the local population, public security, refugees and other basic conditions, and some very abstract clues: "xxx Middle School will announce the test results today. I heard from the children yesterday that there might be students causing trouble."

"What? There is such a thing?"

In the player's imagination, this might be a story of "I go to blow up the school, carrying a bag of explosives, and when the line is pulled I run, and with a bang the school disappears..." Based on the principle of watching the fun, the player decisively decided to follow up on this clue and took on the task.

The player team immediately came to the school. This school had no walls and was an open middle school. It was very easy for idle people in society to go in and cause trouble. As the police, the player team naturally had no obstacles.

As for the school, it was a mess. All the classrooms had no doors.

There were no windows, no tables, no chairs. Students sat on the ground in a mess, listening to the teacher's lecture. Some students even brought strange musical instruments and played them around the campus.

“This is too relaxing…”

The player had just finished sighing, but was still wondering how the announcement of a result would cause students to riot, and then he heard a loud noise coming from the crowd, and saw a dozen young men with sticks striding into the campus and heading towards the classroom.

"What's going on? Is this the beginning of the passionate high school?"

At the same time, a student wearing glasses quietly came to the player and whispered: "There are several students who were expelled this morning. They always bully classmates and teachers, and their grades are always at the bottom. This morning, the school announced the results of the resumed exams, and took the opportunity to expel them all. So, go outside and find someone to come back to take revenge on the teacher who expelled you..."

As soon as the student who was giving the "off-field commentary" finished his words, he saw some teachers who were also carrying sticks as weapons walking out of the classroom.

"Is this your teacher? It's your teacher, right......"

"Yes."

"I know why your school doesn't have a security guard," the player turned around, took a loud speaker from his NPC teammate, and shouted to both sides at the same time: "This is the Dili City Police, put down your weapons! Stay where you are! Especially you hooligans, be honest! Don't move! Otherwise, you will go from being in jail to being shot!"

Chapter 93: Becoming a Police Chief from Scratch (Part 2)

On the other side, the second player patrol team came to a coffee drying yard based on the alarm information from an Australian coffee company manager. The whole story is as follows:

The coffee bean drying work in the dry season is about to end, and the hundreds of workers employed by this Australian company will finish their work for this year. After the work is finished, the company is ready to dismiss them all. But these East Timorese workers do not agree to be dismissed like this, and hope to get additional compensation of 3 months' salary. According to the contract, these employees are day workers, that is, they are paid by the day, and there is no termination compensation stipulated in the contract. According to East Timor's Labor Law... Sorry, East Timor does not have this thing now.

The Australian manager said that the company was willing to pay each worker an extra month's salary out of goodwill, but the Timorese workers disagreed. They blocked the gate of the drying yard, preventing vehicles transporting coffee from entering and leaving, and threatened to kill the company's management. Therefore, the company hoped that the police could maintain order and ensure their safety. To put it bluntly, the employer asked the police to participate, just to put pressure on the workers and save some wages.

"Fuck, isn't this a typical labor dispute? I've never dealt with this before..." Not only the player doesn't know, but the NPCs who come with the player also don't know. If a problem can't be solved by using an assault rifle, then the guerrillas with low education level are also clueless. In desperation, the player controlled the game character to rush to the scene of the incident while quietly calling his good friend:

"Hey, Brother Yu, what are you busy with?"

"Ah, it's okay now, but it's hard to say what will happen later. Who knows if the police will be called out suddenly? Why, call me to play a game?"

"Ah, no, I just want to ask you something. Have you ever participated in mediating labor disputes?"

"Um, yes, what do you want to ask? Be more specific..."

"That is, if a company wants to fire an employee and is only willing to give one month's salary as compensation, but the employee wants three months' salary as compensation, how do you mediate in this situation..."

"Just follow the law..."

"Brother Yu, this situation is rather special, and there is currently no way..."

The other end of the phone was silent. After a while, the other party said: "Well, let's compromise. Our tradition has always been to compromise! Anyway, I have seen many cases done this way, and the success rate is the highest. I don't know the specific situation on your side, but I have to tell you that if you are a police officer involved in a labor dispute, you can't take the initiative to say this. You know, this may be complained about in the future..."

"Oh, that's great. Brother Yu, you go ahead and do your work first..."

I don't know if the workers in East Timor like the "Chinese compromise". When I arrived at the coffee drying yard, I found that the workers were shocked at first, and then slowly looked at me with a slightly hostile eye. This is completely understandable. With the arrival of the police, they can no longer threaten the manager's life. The player now has a feeling of "Fuck, I've been used by someone", but... According to the description of this temporary mission, the player still has to properly handle disputes and cannot use lethal violence to resolve conflicts.

"Oh, it's so annoying! It's more troublesome than killing Suharto........."

Considering that this task would most likely be solved through verbal attacks, the player found a chair and sat down, then directly shouted to the workers present: "I am not interested in the labor dispute between you, and I have no intention of intervening. I will not favor any party. I am just here to ensure that no murder will happen here. Considering that there is neither a union nor a court here, you can use negotiation to solve the problem. If either of you is dissatisfied with the other party's conditions or decisions, you can start negotiations now."

The workers' emotions calmed down a lot, and then the endless bargaining between the two sides officially began.

Because of the police presence, the workers could not use the final means to obtain 3

One month's salary as dismissal compensation - a negotiation with a machete on the manager's neck, but no matter what, they would probably accept the condition of one month's compensation. After sitting there for a while, the player felt that although I couldn't directly speak to adjudicate labor disputes, it didn't mean I couldn't do anything.

No. So the player walked up to the manager and told him:

"Since the negotiations are going smoothly and no illegal activities have occurred, and the negotiations are unlikely to end soon, we will withdraw 3 people (a team consists of 1 player and 3 NPCs, a total of 4 people) and go back to eat." After saying that, the player turned around and asked the 3 NPCs who followed him to drive back first. The player himself prepared to take a walk nearby and said to the manager, "If something happens here, call me immediately..."

Manager: I was anxious when I heard this. What do you mean by "negotiations are going well"? Look at these workers making noises and shaking their fists from time to time.

The boss threatened to beat me up, how can this be called smooth sailing? Also, what does "I'll call you when something happens" mean? If something really happens, I probably won't have time to call you.

The machete had already sunk into my flesh.

The manager quickly stopped the player who was about to go for a walk and asked him to wait for a few minutes. He immediately called his boss in China for instructions. After the call, the manager felt relieved and returned to the negotiation table and said to the workers: "After my hard work, the company leaders decided.

I will give you two months’ salary as severance compensation.”

"Do you all agree? If you do, then let's applaud and pass it!" The player stood up and shouted.

There was sporadic applause at first, and then the applause became more and more enthusiastic. This labor dispute was resolved in a relatively peaceful way. Compared with the previous direct use of violence to severely punish criminals, this task that cannot use violence casually is a more difficult test for players. This game cannot use SL to continuously read the file to explore the best way to complete the task.

In comparison, the mission of directly killing someone may be the easiest mission for players, because even if I fail today, I can go again tomorrow, and kill him once every 24 hours, and the target of the mission will be killed one day.

This is very interesting for some players who like different plots and "human relationships", but it is too boring for some players who are keen on shooting. Because even in East Timor, where law enforcement is relatively violent, it is not often possible to shoot. Before long, many players said they did not want to work as police officers.

This time, it was Yu Bo who responded to everyone's demands in the WeChat group: "Brothers who want to resign, hold on for the last half month! We are recruiting some experienced retired police officers from the United States, Russia, China and other places to work in East Timor, and the first batch is ready to leave. In addition, the first official police academy in the local area is about to be completed. Brothers who are still preparing to continue to work as police chiefs, you should be ready to receive a group of local rookie police officers to come for internship in half a year........."
