For two days in a row, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Yagi Sekssai just enjoyed the top treatment in the White House.
However, to say that it is top-notch treatment is only to the extent of having meat and vegetables every meal.
The bread has begun to become a little hard, which shows that supplies are starting to be scarce.
In fact, before Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others came, the country's front line in the United States could no longer be maintained.
In order to fight against the steady stream of Celtic soldiers who had the Holy Grail as soldiers at that time, Edison adopted a militarized approach in which all the people were soldiers.
After all, there will inevitably be casualties on the battlefield. As many people as Celtic died, Maeve could summon them with just a few drops of blood. But on Edison's side, death is death.
For this reason, he introduced mechanized infantry. However, mechanized infantry is also operated by humans. As long as there is a war, food must be rationed. The three armies have not used food and grass first. If they are not full, they will not have the strength to fight.
The Celtic side is awesome. They are summoned by Maeve. If they don't eat, they won't eat. If they starve to death, they can be summoned again - and they won't starve to death.
From a warfare perspective, Maeve's Celtic Soldiers are truly top of the line.
No need to eat, no need to sleep, strong body, absolute obedience, no rebellion, unlimited number.
Fighting with this kind of soldiers will only lead to death. The advantages of the human sea tactic are too great.
They can only be like Chaldea, who directly beheaded and cut off the production line of soldiers.
Before Chaldea came, Edison lacked a general and only had one Karna. If he went to steal the house, the White House would be attacked by the opponent's followers, and Karna still had to come back.
Because of the years of war, the entire American economy is now on the verge of collapse, and there is no need to say that everything is in dire straits. In a real sense... it is possible to die directly from the famine.
In the past, because there was a powerful enemy like the Celtics, everyone could hide in their belts and tell themselves: win the battle first, and if you win, you will have a good life.
But...hasn’t he already won now?
Are better days coming?
People ask themselves...it is really impossible to say "I am very happy now".
Materials were extremely scarce, and food was the same as during the war, not to mention enjoyment. Even the most basic food and clothing could not be provided.
There are also various procedures that are very cumbersome and require long queues, such as receiving meal coupons, correcting address, and applying for benefits.
Now, although the battle has been won, more problems have been exposed.
On this day, finally... a riot broke out.
On this day, quietly, [photos] were posted on all pillars throughout the city.
The quiet Karna held the teapot in his hand and was pouring tea.
There is also a picture of President Wang taking a big bite of steak.
Or the photo of Helena holding a cup of tea, lost in thought.
The combination of several pictures makes it look like eating a big meal.
The photos were stuck on a piece of paper with the words: Rich People!
These small pieces of paper ignited public anger overnight.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
If the whole country goes hungry together, everyone can still bear it.
If you grit your teeth and go to the battlefield to fight, but only a handful of people can eat enough, you will naturally feel like "Why?"
This move was extremely destructive, chosen at a time when the war had just ended and everything was in ruins.
A rational person would speculate on the authenticity of these photos, and check to see if there are any traces of manipulation on these photos, and whether they are genuine. Then they will carefully consider whether they are a conspiracy of the enemy.
It's a pity that today's people rarely have such a cautious attitude towards seeking truth. As mentioned before, they overgeneralize. This is the case now. No matter how much contributions Presidents Edison, Helena, and Karna have made, they are still
The half-starved people saw that these people were well fed, well clothed, and staying in the palace!
Then, public dissatisfaction broke out in one breath, like a time bomb.
Angry people took up arms again and gathered in front of the White House, demanding that grain depots be opened and the status quo changed.
Be more rational and march in the streets.
Those who are more agitated will directly rebel.
Yagi Xuezhai looked through the window at the excited people downstairs, and was just sighing in his heart that his attitude could change so quickly.
Maybe... someone is secretly fueling the situation.
Speaking of which, it seems that the President King mentioned that although some servants were summoned, they did not fight with the President King.
Could it be that those servants are helping?
If you think so...
When Yagi Yusei went undercover to the enemy, what was the professor doing? Sitting there bored? Impossible, right?
Sure enough, this old man should have secretly contacted the local resistance organization.
There is no doubt that these photos were taken.
Yagi and others did not carry cameras with them, and Mr. Giorgios did not come with them. So, who took the photo? When did it take the photo? I don’t know.
Has the rebel group penetrated the White House?
It's impossible. If they had the ability, they would have already attacked Edison.
So...the basis of reasoning: you eliminate other possibilities, and what's left is the truth.
Yagi thought for a moment, and sure enough, Mr. Moriarty should have done it.
During that time, the various-faced Hassan was still there, with hundreds of personalities, relying on his aura to covertly take photos...or contact the resistance organization...well, that old man...didn't say anything, in fact he had no plan at all.
!
In fact, it is exactly as Yagi speculated.
Edison summoned his followers, but because he did not want to save the world, some of the summoned followers abandoned Edison. Although they would not openly oppose him, they did not agree with Edison's method of saving the world.
Tesla is one of them.
Moriarty saw that the United States was now at the end of its tether, so he decided on this strategy.
If he himself were still here, this plan should be executed more smoothly and more terrifyingly.
He is worthy of being the big boss in the criminal world.
But he's not here...
Yagi Xuezhai didn't know what Moriarty was doing, so naturally he couldn't contact the resistance organization he had contacted before.
As a result, the resistance organization waited for two days. When they felt they could wait no longer, they directly incited a rebellion...
As for the effect...
"Wait!? Helena-kun! Why! Why are all the citizens of the United States at the door of the White House! What are they doing?!"
Edison still didn't fully understand that he was in a situation where he was forced to step down.
"King President, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible! This is a riot!"
Helena frowned, and Karna's expression was also gloomy.
Among the three people present, one is an inventor, one is a magician, and one is a warrior. None of them is proficient in politics, and none is good at appeasing people's hearts.
Now that there is a riot, the three of them look at me and I look at you. They only know that they must not be suppressed blindly with force... But if they cannot be suppressed with force, what can they do? How can we let the people go back to work?
"As long as, as long as there is half a day, it will be fine! In half a day, the Holy Grail transformation device can be... Karna-kun, can I ask you to buy some time?"
"Hahahaha, Edison! You idiot, where are you? Come out and pay homage! The myth of mankind! Thunder and lightning are coming!!"
Edison would never forget this hearty laughter and overflowing confidence... President Wang pushed open the window and let out the loudest roar in history:
