Two waves of people were confronting each other through a shaky iron door.
But the crowd outside was far more turbulent than inside the prison. After several attempts to push back, the angry people would use their countless flesh and blood to break open the iron door.
Through the gap in the iron door, the deputy warden saw the terrifying faces of the people who looked like they could eat them alive. He couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. He quickly stepped forward to join the huddled jailers and shouted sternly: "Hold on!!
Hold on! No one is allowed to retreat!!"
Needless to say, the jailers also tried their best.
But they didn't have the upper hand in numbers, and most of them were so scared that they were scared to death. How could they make the people's struggle meaningless through a door.
Some people stretched their hands in first, pinched the jailer's neck, and tore the jailer's face. Some people rushed into the door and fired guns indiscriminately. Even if the bullets were gone, they still pulled the trigger crazily.
"boom!"
The iron door made a loud noise.
Then he trembled violently.
"Everyone, try harder!"
"Our manpower is really too small. If we divide it evenly, there may not be one person in a block. How about I go out to help?" Connie came out of the simple ward prepared for Capa and went to the side to disinfect and wash her hands.
When the deputy warden saw this, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and went to find the warden and ask for his opinion.
Doing so is equivalent to leaving the decision-making power and corresponding responsibility to him whether to attack the people.
"It's just that we don't know how long we can last. You know what I mean." General Selter changed the subject.
"Bring it here."
"Okay... By the way, General..." Byron looked around scrupulously and asked cautiously, "How is... Mr. President's side?"
"Do you know what it's like outside now?" General Selter asked.
"How's it going?" General Selter glanced at Byron, walked straight to his office, and sat in his seat.
After all the dust has settled, the warden can come forward to cut ties with him, thus sacrificing him to preserve his position.
Whether he attacks the people to intensify conflicts or allows them to rush in and rescue the imprisoned people, the consequences are beyond the capabilities of a small deputy warden.
A jailer staggered over and reported.
"Fuck you!"
"I understand, I understand!" Byron assured Selt, "Reversing public opinion is the only way to control the situation. I will definitely use all the power of the newspaper to make the people believe us!"
"No need." Verak sat steadily, "Even if our number doubles or triples, it doesn't make much sense to ensure that there are one to three comrades in every block."
The soldiers under his command, who were surrounded and unable to move, raised their guns one after another.
"This is the warden's order, and he has already gone to ask for help. As long as we persist for a while, a large number of soldiers will come to help us deal with the trouble." The deputy warden pushed the warden and urged.
General Selt said: "You should know that I can sit in front of you."
"Fuck you!"
The ups and downs suddenly stopped with the sound of a gunshot and the insertion of a bullet.
"Uh-" The commander of the cavalry battalion choked a mouthful of blood in shock, then slowly lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his chest, which was rapidly turning red.
"There is no turning back for us."
"We are all ordinary people, why do you want to help the government bully us?!"
The remaining officers lined up on both sides, and the influx of soldiers also sealed off the inside of the newspaper office to ensure the absolute safety of General Selt.
——
"Are you going to... shoot at the people..."
The warden's move was quite insidious.
"That's all?" General Selter finished flipping through the newspaper and threw the newspaper aside.
If the warden escaped, he could say that he went to the army for help, but what about him? If he left in full view of the public, wouldn't he be convinced of his guilt?
"Tell everyone that the warden has given an order to shoot at the people. The prison must be defended at all costs and no prisoner can be rescued!" The deputy warden finally made up his mind and ordered in the name of the warden.
"No." General Selter shook his head slightly, "They are not fools. The situation in Lezein is destined to not be resolved peacefully."
——
"You..." The old man didn't expect that the other party could be so shameless, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Connie nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, you have to do it selectively."
"General!" Byron, the editor-in-chief of Lazerin Daily News, had already received the news and was waiting at the door to nod and bow to General Selter and others.
Sherrill was right next to her: "With so many people in each block, it's difficult for us to guide them all. Instead of trying to cover everything, it's better to concentrate on solving a few major problems, such as organizing people to work together to rescue innocent people in prison.
"
"We are currently trying this too..." Byron replied, "Don't worry, I will complete these in the shortest possible time..."
Once the investigation is carried out, it means that President Allston has doubts about General Selter.
"Bang!"
"Save people!! Save people!!"
"Don't! You must hold it back! At least we can't be the first to take action!" The deputy battalion commander held down the battalion commander's hand.
"Deputy Warden! The door is about to be knocked open!!"
"I hope they take action first. Even if I shoot, I won't be able to say anything!" The commander of the cavalry battalion, whose chest heaved violently, tried to control his emotions.
The public's voice was suppressed a little.
"I understand, I understand." Byron said.
But soon, a piece of news that made the deputy warden feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar was presented to him.
The main contents of these newspapers were verbal explanations, and he knew very well that such feeble things could not compete with the powerful proofs now presented by the International Equality Alliance.
Looking at the fierce confrontation in front of the prison gate, the deputy warden slumped against the wall, feeling afraid that he had issued such an important order under the guise of the warden. However, he soon realized that the warden was using him to protect himself, and his heart gradually
Hard and cold.
"This, of course these are not enough..." Byron knew that he had to satisfy General Selt. Only in this way could he have a chance of survival in the future. Otherwise, he would inevitably be ruined if he was worthless and knew many secrets.
Will be eradicated by General Selt without hesitation.
Byron wiped away the unstoppable sweat: "I, I don't know, I've been in the newspaper office..."
"What you have to do now is to deal with other aspects. The people of Lezein are no longer your responsibility." General Selter stopped some meaningless remedies.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who told the news to be exposed? We can't expect them not to be angry. They are all indifferent to these things like wooden people." The deputy battalion commander patted the battalion commander, then showed a smile and communicated with the people on behalf of the battalion commander.
"Everyone, calm down! We can't solve the problem if we continue to tit for tat with each other! I suggest everyone -"
"The warden's order! Everyone! Gather at the gate! Defend the prison! Defend the prison!!"
"Yes." Byron hurriedly handed over the results prepared by their newspaper office overnight to Selt for review.
The commander of the cavalry battalion swallowed, maintained his composure, and said coldly: "He is your son, of course you will speak for him. As for you saying that the government has not shown you evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that this is true?
of?"
"Look, is this my problem? If you continue to give them a good face like this, they will really dare to ride on me!" The battalion commander gritted his teeth, wishing to immediately kill all these untouchables who provoked him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The commander of the cavalry battalion rode on his horse and looked down at the people's denunciation of him. He shouted expressionlessly: "Everyone has been deceived by the International Equality Alliance! They are our enemies!"
"Fart!!" the old man spat fiercely, crying, "My child is in there!! He didn't do anything!! You have never shown me any evidence that he is a member of the International Equality Alliance.
!!”
In a short period of time, President Alston may not suspect anything, but if the evidence presented by the International Equality Alliance appears endlessly in front of him, no one can guarantee whether President Alston will rise up and investigate.
idea.
"Fuck you!"
The commander of the cavalry battalion became angry, raised his gun toward the sky, and pulled the trigger.
Byron wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully: "We have prepared several pages of clarification newspapers, denouncing all this as a smear and slander against us by the International Equality Alliance."
“You bunch of government lackeys!!”
"Fuck! Fuck!!" The deputy warden was so angry that he almost fainted.
Unfortunately, not long after the troops galloped, they were blocked here and unable to advance or retreat.
"puff!"
At the very least, President Allston did not doubt General Selter.
A large number of soldiers gathered and took over the defense of the surrounding area. They watched General Selt and several senior officers get out of a certain car and go straight to the newspaper office.
"You are our enemies!" An old man pointed at the commander of the cavalry battalion and said tremblingly, "How many have you arrested?! How many innocent people have been executed?!"
"Fuck you!"
The other soldiers were in a mess. Some wanted to escape, and some wanted to surround them, but they were unable to do so because the streets were too crowded. In the end, it turned into a huge riot, resulting in stampedes and gunshots among the people and soldiers.
The tearing and beating followed and became more and more intense.
The warden was nowhere to be seen. He probably sneaked out of the prison while he was out maintaining the overall situation.
"Damn, these untouchables!" The commander of the cavalry battalion pointed his gun at the person who scolded the loudest.
The deputy battalion commander forcibly drove his horse closer to the battalion commander and reminded in a low voice: "We are not allowed to conflict with the people from above. What's more, our current task is to support the prison. Don't act out of emotion."
At the same time, four or five blocks away from the prison, the road was blocked by angry demonstrators.
suddenly--
Doubt is easy to ignite but difficult to extinguish.
"Do you want to die?!" the cavalry battalion commander said angrily.
When the army has not arrived, can they shoot at the people and suppress them in the most violent way to ensure that the prison is not breached?
This is probably the best way for them to protect themselves now, but since the conflicts have been intensified again and again, they can no longer think rationally and worry about what kind of reaction it will cause.
The commander and deputy commander of the cavalry battalion felt like countless spittles were sprayed on their faces.
The deputy warden hesitated whether to follow the warden's example and escape.
At the same time, cars parked in front of the Lezein Daily News in an orderly manner.
Now that we have reached this point, the competition is about who is more ruthless.
"I understand, I understand..." Byron breathed a sigh of relief.
The people were so powerful and united that they relied on human power to push the iron gate loose and begin to topple over.
At the same time, in the warehouse in the North District of Lezein, Verak was holding the draft of "The Theory of Commons" written by Winston, listening to comrades reporting on the latest situations in various places from time to time.
"This is the International Equality Alliance's slander against us! Everyone we arrest is a member of the International Equality Alliance with conclusive evidence! The government will not and cannot harm innocent people! Please believe us!" said the commander of the cavalry battalion!
.
This seems a bit unrealistic.
"It's crazy outside." General Selter said coldly. "In less than a day, all our secrets have been known to people. Now countless people are attacking us, and the situation is gradually getting out of control."
The people responded with insults.
"There are people from the International Equality Alliance! There are people from the International Equality Alliance! Protect the battalion commander! Protect the battalion commander!" The deputy battalion commander was stunned for a second, then he could help the battalion commander who almost fell off his horse and lay on the horse.
, to avoid subsequent attacks.
"Yes!" The jailer left quickly.
——
"That……"
"Anyone who has any objections to the innocence of the arrested prisoner can resolve it through the correct channels! Instead of accepting the instigation of someone with good intentions and surrounding them here!" the commander of the cavalry battalion scanned the people on the street, "I
We advise everyone to leave immediately! Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!”
And this situation is just like the International Equality Alliance, which was helpless against their series of premeditated slanders.
"You should aim your guns at your heads!"
After receiving news that the prison was asking for help, General Selter specially dispatched an elite cavalry battalion to support.
"The door will open soon!"
If I give up now, then I will be the one who gets killed in the end!
A shout came.
They teamed up to falsely report the number of members of the International Equality Alliance's action team and exaggerated the results of the eradication campaign.
Many things will be very difficult at that time.
"The reporter who betrayed us and stole a lot of information was once your subordinate. You should know him best. If you want to change public opinion, you have to attack him and bring him down so that all the evidence against us cannot be attacked.
Self-destruction." General Selter was very calm and calm, and proposed ideas to solve the problem to Byron.
"How is Comrade Capa?" Verak asked.
"It's relatively stable. Comrade Bella is taking care of her inside, so there should be no problem." Connie took off her mask after washing it.
Verak felt relieved: "That's good, everything is going well now, we -"
"Comrade Verak!" Murphy rushed back to convey the news from other comrades, "The government troops are taking advantage of the chaos to attack the Martyrs Cemetery!"
