The gangster riot in Boise had a far-reaching impact. It was the largest grassroots rebellion since the founding of the Brotherhood of Steel. What was even more surprising was that this rebellion, which had a large number of people and was quite organized, was put down in a dramatic way.
When officials in the city were being assassinated one after another, the surviving dignitaries were unable to escape, and the entire city was in internal and external troubles, tens of thousands of workers in the city actually spontaneously took up arms to defend the city and defend their right to exist.
This never happened after the Cataclysm.
Well..., there weren't that many workers in the past. Those workers used to be homeless people in the city.
The defenders burst out with strong fighting enthusiasm. They easily defeated more than 10,000 bandits who were running rampant in the apocalypse, and pursued them for a long distance. More than 2,000 bandits were killed on the spot, and countless others were injured.
After arming the workers, many farmers from towns around Boise also came to support with guns. They just learned on the radio that the city was being attacked by bandits, so they took action spontaneously. But they acted very decisively,
And it played a big role.
The escaping gangsters were killed or captured by the farmers who blocked the roads. Basically, after this battle, the banditry problem around Boise has been completely solved, and even if there are still sporadic gangsters, it is impossible to cause any big troubles.
Mr. Franklin, the Grand Master of the Freemasons who ruled Idaho, was not too happy about all this. When he led the team to Boise the next day after the incident, his brows were frowning.
In the city, the workers who had just won the victory were in high spirits. They stayed up all night and were still in high spirits after partying until the next day. Countless people marched on the streets with guns and grabbed wine bottles and sang. These people usually have little entertainment.
This victory was celebrated as a holiday.
President Franklin drove into the city hall in his car. Compared with the cheering crowd on the street, the place turned into a funeral parlor. Yesterday, many senior officials, including the mayor, were killed one after another. The police were surveying the scene, and the bodies had just been found.
It has just been moved.
"Who did it?" President Franklin called a meeting of city officials and asked angrily in the conference room, "Who is behind this riot?"
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other in confusion. Occasionally, someone said something but they were just guessing. This situation made the president even more angry and raised his voice: "Are all the people in the police station sleepwalking? Who is maintaining the security of the city?"
Several police officers in the conference room were even more uneasy. Someone said weakly: "Both the chief and deputy chief of our police station were killed, and several middle- and high-level police officers also died of unknown causes. The one with the highest official position now is a neighborhood police officer.
The director, he was also seriously injured and is in the hospital."
President Franklin had nothing to do with this answer. During the catastrophe, officials, military, police, and consortium personnel all disappeared. Those who disappeared were the elites, and only a handful of talents were left.
The Freemasons are a group of intellectuals and businessmen, and Franklin himself was a political science professor at a private university. He could not conjure a group of experienced civil servants out of thin air to strengthen the ruling class.
No one can match the Aurora Legion in terms of governance system. When the Brotherhood of Steel is consumed by more than a hundred branches, only Miss Lena Fox of the Legion is desperately recruiting and cultivating administrative talents. This makes all organizations in the wasteland
They were all extremely envious.
There was silence in the conference room for a while, and then someone said weakly: "We arrested many prisoners yesterday and interrogated the cause of the riot overnight. We found that a lumberyard manager named Federo was an important organizer and
Internal response.”
"Has this person been caught?"
"Caught, he admitted that he was the mastermind, and also confessed that Victor Hugo of the Aurora Legion was behind this incident. The assassination of a large number of officials in the city was also done by him leading the special forces of the Aurora Legion."
As soon as he said this, the conference room became even quieter. The president was silent for a while and then said calmly: "This is slander. He must have other masterminds."
Federo's testimony weighed heavily on many people's minds. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, it would have a huge impact if he said it.
The power of the Aurora Legion has undoubtedly been reflected in the huge amount of commodity trade, and it is not that no one has noticed some kind of political erosion behind the trade. In fact, this urban riot has demonstrated the Legion's rapid expansion of influence in North America.
Most of the armed workers who stood up to resist were recruited by the factories opened by the Aurora Legion. Even a large number of farmers relied on the Aurora Legion's loans and underwriting contracts to make a living. Regardless of whether the Freemasons admit it or not, they already have someone else's family on their territory.
of power.
Before the riots, Freemason officials could pretend not to see it, because they themselves also benefited greatly from factories and trade, but this riot exposed this force that cannot be underestimated.
And Federo's testimony is equivalent to puncturing the last layer of window paper. Whether he is slandering or not is not important at all. What is important is that President Franklin came to Boise this time to investigate and solve this problem.
However, the president said that this was a 'slander', so Federo was a 'slander'. Everyone sighed, and they did not want to make the matter bigger. It would be best to maintain the status quo, and making money is the most important thing.
The meeting did not solve any problems, but instead gave President Franklin an even greater headache. When the meeting was ending, an official quietly approached the president and whispered something.
"What?" His Excellency the President was immediately shocked, "Who else knows about this?"
The official shook his head and whispered: "He did participate in the riot and was caught by a group of farmers while escaping. He revealed his identity and asked the farmers to contact his uncle to get the reward. However, the farmers did not believe him.
If so, he would be sent to us instead.
He denied that the riot had anything to do with him and his uncle. He said that he was implicated inexplicably. However, it is really hard for us to believe what he said. The newspapers said that he was a habitual liar, and he deceived people and stirred up trouble everywhere.
"
After hearing the official's description, President Franklin also snorted coldly, "That bastard relied on his uncle as his backer and did countless bad things. He is indeed a little bastard who tells lies and cannot be trusted at all."
The officials were also resentful, "Does this really have nothing to do with the Aurora Legion? Is it someone in New York who is responsible for this?"
The President nodded in a positive tone this time and said: "This is probably the truth. There is no reason for His Majesty to trick us at this time, but the King of New York has tricked us more than once or twice."
After the president said this, he added in his mind, 'The Aurora Legion is not a good person, so we must be vigilant.' He closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I'm going to see that kid, he should still be useful.
