Eliminating the vicious power
Whenever there is an economic downturn or social unrest, the gangsters worry, because it signals the start of a season of crime-fighting and suppression of evil.
Normally, society is peaceful and orderly, but these battles are often treated as minor security incidents. However, a poor landscape can easily lead to widespread public concern and insecurity.
A typical case of civilian deaths can cause a significant outcry. To quell this anger, the government typically takes two actions: providing relief and cracking down on criminals.
Now is the time to follow the crowd and launch a major security operation to implement logical and clear decisions. This tactic can be quite successful in boosting public support because it is popular with the people, gives them a sense of satisfaction, and is not expensive.
It is bound to have a thunderous effect.
I have no idea what kind of punks are causing trouble thousands of miles away, but it could lead to severe and widespread legislation that could even affect their own side. Bullying may no longer be just “a trivial concern” at this point.
The triads also need to emphasize discipline and obedience, but this is difficult in everyday society because there are never enough elites to join, leaving the uneducated and unruly idiots at the bottom of the heap. Any gangster in nearby provinces (for example) could pull you into jail.
Let the public experience the sweetness, observe the advantages, and learn about the so-called “be besieged on all sides” through serial reporting. However, no one else is to blame for this. After all, what goes around comes around.
