"We want to live!"

"Give me back the steel!"

A procession of people of all stripes set off from Aungcheon Prefecture and headed for a steel checkpoint a few kilometers outside the prefecture. There were men in their thirties and forties, old men and women in their sixties and seventies, students in their eleven and twelve, and young women in their arms. The organizers of the march clearly knew this, and they knew that if they simply found a group of young people to demonstrate, the government could use the police to arrest people. It's not the same if you mix in some old people, women and children, these people can cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, so that your government can't touch them, and make a mess.

Since the action to investigate and deal with inferior steel was not carried out within the scope of Xingchuan County, the small bosses whose interests were damaged and the people who were threatened by it had no reason to make trouble in Xingchuan County, and if they did not make trouble, they would not be able to alarm the province, and Gao Xuejian would not be able to make demands to the province. After Wang Yue got Gao Xuejian's hint, he found some small bosses who had a good personal relationship with him, and secretly taught them the opportunity to find a way to make things bigger.

At present, there is no pressure on the small steel working group, as long as it holds the road and insists on it for a few days, the small steel in Xingchuan County will collapse. But for the small steel owners in Xingchuan, every day of delay means a day's cost, and a large amount of steel and unsmelted scrap steel are backlogged in their hands, occupying a lot of money, and they are already difficult to support.

In this case, only by inciting a mass incident can we find a turning point, which is also the idea of the little steel bosses. In the past, when the government was going to make efforts to control small steel, they used this method to force the government to make concessions, and this time, they plan to repeat the old trick.

"Battalion commander, a group of marchers are coming in the distance, as if they are coming for us."

Far away. The staff at the checkpoint had already discovered the team and hurriedly went to report to Zhang Xiangqian. In fact, Zhang Xiangqian had already received the news through an internal informant before the procession left Xingchuan, and at this time he was sitting in the headquarters with Qin Haiduan, observing the movement outside with a telescope while discussing coping strategies.

"Mr. Qin. It's a bit tricky, how do you think we deal with it? Zhang Xiangqian pleaded with Qin Hai, he knew that Qin Hai was a red man in the eyes of Ji Mingchu, so he was very polite to Qin Hai.

"Did we do anything wrong?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiangqian shook his head: "Of course not." Before I came, I didn't feel anything about the strip steel you said, but I looked at the seized steel in the past few days, and I really felt shocked. What kind of steel is that, it's just glass, it cracks when you knock and breaks when you fall. If such steel is lost to society, I don't know how many safety hazards it will cause. I don't think there's anything wrong with seizing the steel of these black-hearted profiteers. ”

Qin Hai nodded and said, "Since we are not wrong, then what are we afraid of them for?" ”

"But that's not a good effect, isn't it?" Zhang Xiangqian reminded.

Qin Haidao: "We are doing things, not shows. As long as we behave properly and walk right, there is no need to bow to the underworld forces for any impact. These people are willing to march, that's their right. We don't interfere. However, if they dare to block the road. If you obstruct traffic, then resolutely take action, and detain as many as you want, and show no mercy. ”

"There are old people and children in their bunch." Zhang Xiangqian said.

Qin Hai sneered: "The law does not stipulate that the elderly and children can break the law, it is they themselves who take the elderly and children as hostages, not that we deliberately hurt these old people and children." Since they don't care about their loved ones. Why should we care about that? ”

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Zhang Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Qin, there is some truth in what you said, but. If it gets out, it will really affect your future. ”

Qin Hai laughed and said, "Battalion Commander Zhang, you just carry out the order, don't worry about my future." I'm not a government official originally, so I don't care about any name. It is impossible to do things to satisfy everyone, as long as we do things with a clear conscience. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Zhang Xiangqian took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Correspondent, order the troops to be on guard, anyone who dares to enter the control area will be detained!" ”

As he spoke, the procession had already reached the checkpoint and came to a noisy stop. A leading conductor at the front of the procession shouted several rounds of slogans before walking towards the checkpoint.

"Stop!" The soldier on duty stretched out his hand and blocked the man's path.

"I have something to talk to your leaders!" The man shouted.

"Who are you?" Hong Gang, the squad leader among the soldiers on duty, stepped forward and asked.

"I am a villager from Dongdaogou Village, Xingchuan County, and my name is Lu Quanlin." The man replied. He didn't hide his name, but he wasn't an ordinary villager, but a steel boss who owned a small steel mill. This time, the thousands of tons of steel he smelted were crushed in the warehouse, and he did not dare to set off for shipment. In order to purchase scrap steel and smelt steel, he owed four or five hundred thousand loan sharks, and originally planned to sell the steel to repay the debt, but now the steel cannot be sold, and the interest on the usury is rolling every day, and he has no way out. This time, at the instigation of Wang Yue, he took the lead in organizing villagers to march at the checkpoint, and he had the intention of fighting desperately.

"What's the matter with you?" Hong Gang continued to ask.

"You've seized our steel and made it impossible for us to do business. You see, there is no way for hundreds of people in our village to live, and I want to ask your leaders to judge. Lu Quanlin shouted.

"I'm sorry, we have received an order to seize all substandard steel, if the steel you produce is qualified, we will definitely not seize it. If your steel is not qualified, it must be seized according to national regulations. Hong Gang said to Lu Quanlin according to the tone that Zhang Xiangqian had ordered in advance.

"We have been producing steel for so many years, when have we ever failed to qualify? It is clear that your leaders deliberately detained our qualified steel as unqualified steel in order to invite credit. By doing so, you have cut off the way of life for the whole village, and if you don't give us an explanation today, we will never agree! Lu Quanlin said loudly.

The villagers standing behind shouted in unison:

"We will never say yes!"

"Give us back our steel!"

"Give us back our way to live!"

The slogans were one wave after another, and the momentum was quite huge. Some old people and women were still crying with snot and tears, as if they had been greatly wronged.

The muscles on Hong Gang's face twitched, obviously something that was not suitable for such a scene. However, the military order is like a mountain, and these days he and his comrades have witnessed the poor quality of these strip steels, and have a visceral disgust for the producers of these products. Thinking of the construction accident caused by the use of inferior steel that Team Leader Qin had described to them, Hong Gang's anger burned again, diluting his pity for the villagers in front of him.

"Comrade Lu, we are only on orders to carry out our tasks, and we have no right to agree to any of your requests. If you have any comments about our enforcement actions, you can do so through your local government. Hong Gang said with a straight face.

"Folks, if the soldiers don't agree to our request, our steel is inside, let's go and pull the steel out!" Lu Quanlin turned around and called.

"Pull the steel!" The crowd shouted loudly and slowly walked towards the cordon of the sentinels.

Hong Gang sank his face and said, "Comrade Lu, I hope you don't do this kind of incitement. We are on a military mission, and if you dare to storm our checkpoints, you will be held legally responsible. ”

"Anyway, our steel has been detained by you, we can't survive anymore, if you want to arrest someone, just arrest it!" Lu Quanlin said, rushed forward two steps hard, and stretched out his hand to push away the rejection horse that Hong Gang and they had put down.

"Zhou Xiaoyu, Lei Guoqing!" Hong Gang called out sharply.

"Here!" Two soldiers responded.

"Whoever dares to break through the cordon, immediately arrest him." Hong Gang commanded.

"Yes!" The two soldiers agreed, took a step forward, and stared at Lu Quanlin.

At this point, Lu Quanlin has no way out. He brought all the people, and if he shrank at this time, the others would not dare to come forward. He had never had the experience of a head-on conflict with the field army, and from Hong Gang and others, he could feel that the other party was not easy to bully, and he would indeed arrest people if he said that he would arrest people. But is there any other choice for him now?

No matter what, even if they dare to arrest me now, they will be forced to release me after a while, and I don't believe that they dare to arrest these hundreds of people.

Thinking like this, Lu Quanlin put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, shouting slogans while continuing to walk forward.

"Catch!" Hong Gang saw that Lu Quanlin had already walked to the rejection of the horse, he no longer hesitated, and gave the order loudly.

As soon as Hong Gang's words fell, the two soldiers had already begun to move. Lu Quanlin didn't even see how the other party made a move, he felt like a cloud, his feet left the ground, and then his chest fell to the ground, his two hands were buckled behind him, a chill hit his wrists, and a pair of cold handcuffs were firmly cuffed on his hands.

"Brother Quan Lin was arrested by them!"

"Fight!"

When the people behind saw this scene, they all clamored, and a dozen or twenty people left the ranks and rushed towards the soldiers. The soldiers were about to set up a position to meet the enemy, and when they looked at it, they couldn't help but feel cowardly. It turned out that none of the young men in the procession had moved their nests, and those who ran forward were either old people, women, and a few teenage children.

"Squad leader, this ...... What should I do? Several soldiers shouted loudly, they really had never fought such a battle. (To be continued......)
