7 6-discourse

At 6 am, when everyone turned on their televisions or radios to listen to the news, they were in for a surprise.

on all national channels, President Davos appeared, he was dressed in a formal suit and his face conveyed a calm and serene countenance

"My dear compatriots, you must be wondering why you don't have the normal programming on television, well, I want to give you news that will change the course of our country forever!" Davos

"For a long time, all the poverty, crime and inequality in our country has been notorious, our people struggle every day to maintain a minimum of survival, while the rulers squander luxury with the fruits of all corruption in our nation"

"Although I Davos Santero was democratically elected by popular vote, I could not change our nation, with lies and defamation THEY undermined my government"

"With their dirty lies, all the political scum wanted to overthrow my government, overthrow me for trying to fight crime, overthrow me for trying to do the bare minimum for a just people."

"That's why I made a difficult decision yesterday, many will condemn me, but I, Davos, your president, chose to fight, to fight against the evil that plagues this country!"

"so I declare a state of exception, parliament, congress, senate and judiciary will be momentarily closed, but don't worry, I will work to return soon with our beloved democracy" Davos

Davos decided not to make it clear that he is a dictator, first control everything and then create some fake elections to elect his supporters

To develop his country he will need trade, an obvious dictatorship would not be easy to negotiate, so create a fake democracy

"I took this decision after much thought, but from today we will have a new Madripoor, a Madripoor that does not submit to crime, but a Madripoor of good people who work and make an effort!"

"As a first measure, I will approve a pay increase for the entire police and military force, a real increase of 10%" Davos

"Furthermore, I hereby declare that basic foodstuffs and basic medicines will be tax-exempt!"

"But I must clarify that our enemies will not like this at all, they will try to smear me and they will use you, my beloved people, to do so, so any troublemaker who threatens national progress will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law"

"Once again, let's work together for a better Madripoor, strong and honest citizens rest in peace that better days will come, as you corrupt vermin that disgrace this country so much.... fear because now crime will no longer pay" Davos

the transmission ended, Davos stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

if the speech was good and will calm the people he doesn't know, Davos has a lot to do

Ghost was waiting for Davos who came out of the office

"Did everything go well?" davos

"Yes boss, the 5 colonels collaborate after a good "conversation", in addition I place my soldiers in high positions and my deputy commander as general commander of the police" Ghost

"great, you did a great job, I will soon make you the commander of the entire national military force" Davos

"I will follow your orders" Ghost

Davos hasn't stopped working, he's signed an edict to seize all the properties of the millionaire crime boss Cammy killed.

unfortunately most of the wealth was not in the country but in international accounts, but the expectation is to confiscate about 5 billion Astra (national currency)

in 1971, 6 astra corresponds to 1 dollar, meaning Davos will raise almost 900 million dollars in properties, art, luxury cars and money in the national bank

in the 1970s this value is absurdly high

All this money earned from crimes

-----

the popular reaction was as Davos had hoped, a poor people weary of corruption would not fight for the vermin

Of course there were some people, mostly young people, who wanted to speak out against Davos, but the police, who were already in control, naturally dealt with them.

tax breaks on basic foodstuffs and medicines should serve as a soothing, but once Davos officially begins his fight against crime he will gain support

the liveliest places in the city were the embassies, although Davos guaranteed a clear dialogue it still caused fear in tourists

Asia is not calm, the cold war is at its height with the United States and the Soviet Union fighting for influence, poor Vietnam is still in civil war right now

Davos does not want to put Madripoor in the middle of the fight between these two powers
