The same situation is not only happening in Athens, but also in major cities and regions such as Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and Meteora.

On the screens on the walls of the banks, foreign journalists are reporting on the first scene of the strike, and because Greek television has also chosen to strike, people in the banks can only watch what is happening miles away through foreign channels.

At the first scene of the confrontation with the police and anti-riot forces, many reporters were busy in the cordon, sometimes aiming their guns and short guns at the menacing demonstrators, sometimes at the anti-riot forces who were on standby, trying to capture every scene.

"Look, it's going to make a fuss!"

After staring at the TV for a long time, the vendor shook his head helplessly, "In my experience, no demonstration can end peacefully, especially on this scale. ”

"yes!"

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the crowd outside again, and replied with palpitations, "Fortunately, we avoided the crowd, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened!" ”

In the middle of the conversation between the two, the situation on the TV, which was originally a relatively calm confrontation, changed.

Some of the demonstrators began to move closer to the barbed wire fence and the barrier, and many people rushed forward under their leadership. When the reporters saw that something was wrong, they retreated behind them, while the camera focused on the crowd of demonstrators who were rushing forward.

"Stooges of the government!"

"Don't defend this corrupt government!"

"You are traitors to Greece!"

……

Endless cursing began to appear frequently in the mouths of these people, all of them with angry expressions, hideous faces, and a posture of disagreement.

In response, the troops, wearing helmets and armed with riot shields, just looked at the other side with expressionless faces. The order they received was: If the demonstrators do not act aggressively, they will not do anything against them.

But soon the situation deteriorated again, and I don't know who provoked it first, and a black thing suddenly flew out of the black crowd and smashed towards the riot force. Naturally, in front of riot forces armed to the teeth. The unidentified object caused no harm.

But seriously, this move seems to have inspired the demonstrators to realize that it is useless to just talk about it, and a second and a third soon followed...... Until the overwhelming debris flew towards the riot troops.

All of a sudden, the situation became tense and intense.

Seeing that the formation of the riot control forces was slightly chaotic under the attack of debris, the demonstrators began to shout loudly, as if to cheer each other on, and as if to cheer themselves up. Gradually, crowds began to try to cross the barrier and rush towards the riot forces.

The barrier was built in a hurry. The bricks and cement were made of improvised wall, not too high for adults to easily cross, but behind the barrier, there were several circular barricades made of barbed wire, which were difficult to break through.

After breaking through the barrier, the demonstrators quickly discovered the problem. But even that didn't stop their anger, and soon someone began to dismantle the quarantine belt. Bricks turned into their weapons and rained down on the other side.

relative to other sundries. The power of the bricks was so great that it was difficult for the riot shields to protect it, and soon the formation of the riot troops loosened, and after a while, they simply chose to retreat directly, avoiding the range of the bricks.

By this time. The demonstrators won the contest, and although they still managed to overcome the barbed wire, the thrill of repelling each other was overwhelming, and the crowd shouted in a louder voice than before.

At this moment, there were suddenly several "popping" sounds from the opposite side. Immediately several white smoke, bullet-like objects fell into the crowd, and as soon as they fell to the ground, some erupted into a blinding flash, while others erupted into thick white smoke after a thud.

"It's not good, it's tear gas!"

Many of the demonstrators were quite experienced and immediately understood that the riot forces were using glare and tear gas, and many of them immediately covered their mouths and noses with their clothes and began to retreat.

For the first time, the demonstrators were confused and shaken, and at the place where the tear gas was landed, a large vacuum appeared. In the thick smoke, many people began to retreat.

Unfortunately, today's demonstrations cannot end peacefully. Just when the crowd was shaken, I don't know where to fly out of nowhere, the flaming wine bottles were homemade incendiary bombs, and when the wine bottles were broken, the flames scattered along with the flying kerosene, which was a rather dangerous tool in the demonstration.

Ping Pong, every "incendiary bomb" falling on the ground will stir up a sky-high flame, and the scene will soon rise with smoke and fire, and the trend of the whole demonstration will begin to change.

The appearance of "incendiary bombs" clearly exceeded the bottom line and expectations of the anti-riot forces. Their counterattack was that more tear gas canisters were fired, and for a time on the front line of both sides, there was a pungent white smoke on one side, and black smoke on the other side was so thick that they couldn't see the opposite side, and from time to time a few "incendiary bombs" flew through the air, and when they landed on the ground, they immediately burst into flames.

In the thick smoke, a small group of riot control units formed groups of threes and twos, alternately covering each other, pulling the barbed wire fence off the road.

After the barricades were cleared, the assembled riot forces began to march, shouting slogans, beating rhythmically on their riot shields with rubber sticks, and marching in unison side by side, like a torrent of water.

If it is just banners and slogans, there will be no risk in this level of demonstration. But now the situation went far beyond that, and beyond the bottom line of the riot forces, and they decided to take the initiative to disperse the demonstrators.

The riot force will be followed by an equally heavily armed police force that will be tasked with apprehending the wrongdoers in the midst of the chaos.

The demonstrators quickly realized that something was wrong, and in addition to the dozens of radical demonstrators who were constantly throwing debris and "incendiary bombs" at the riot forces, the large forces began to slowly retreat towards the rear.

Concessions to the demonstrators. It was clear that the anti-riot forces were not very satisfied with this, and after advancing for hundreds of meters, after making sure that the opponent's momentum had collapsed, a loud whistle sounded among them, which was the clarion call for attack, which meant the beginning of a full-scale encirclement and suppression of the lawless elements in the demonstrators.

More tear gas canisters were fired at the demonstrators. The riots became more and more serious, people scrambled to retreat, and even a stampede was formed, and panic began to spread widely, and people were running everywhere.

On the side of the riot force, the soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountain, no longer caring about the formation, scrambling to pounce on those who had not had time to evacuate in the smoke, or those who were still resisting stubbornly. They form a team in twos and threes. Attacking the men mercilessly, rubber rods rained down on them until they were powerless, and after being apprehended by the police who followed behind, the soldiers then rushed to the next wave of targets.

"It's really bad!"

Looking at the constantly shaking pictures and the vaguely visible fight scenes, the hearts of the vendors and the middle-aged people all hung in the same way.

At this time, there was also a lot of commotion in the crowd in front of the bank, and some people were walking towards the front. They don't know what the situation is; But others ran backwards as desperately as they could, and both sides were crowded in the place. A stalemate was formed for a while.

But soon, a thick, pungent smoke spread, which made those behind realize that the riot forces were starting to move. Soon, the crowd changed direction and began to accelerate its retreat towards the rear.

In the process. The scene was extremely chaotic, because the space was limited, and there was no way to escape, so the crowd was all crowded together.

Thankfully, however, the riot forces moved quickly. It also indirectly accelerated the escape here, and after a few minutes, most of the crowd had run away, leaving only a few hundred people still roaming around, confronting the approaching riot forces.

"Not good!"

The middle-aged man roared, suddenly grabbed the collar of the vendor, and pulled forward involuntarily, and the two of them fell forward involuntarily, and fell at the same time.

"What happened?"

The vendor fell into a stumbling block, lying on the ground before he had time to look behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and when he was about to hold the middle-aged man accountable, he heard a crisp "pop" in his ears, and then a soaring flame rose behind him.

After feeling the scorching heat, the vendor's face suddenly changed, and after a few steps forward, he had time to turn his head and look back.

An incendiary bottle fell from the sky and hit the sofa where the two were sitting a few seconds ago, and the burst of flames directly swept the entire sofa into it. If the two of them were still sitting there, I'm afraid they would have been caught up in the flames by now.

Both of them were pale as paper, and both realized that the place they had been in so far was not safe, so they immediately made three and two strokes, and fled quickly behind the counter, and after prostrate themselves, they dared to show their heads and look out to see what was going on.

The attack of the Molotov cocktail also caused chaos in the entire bank, and the employees did not expect that they would become fish in the pond that were affected, and they looked for cover to hide.

Outside, the Molotov cocktail seemed to provoke the ferocity of the demonstrators, and also allowed them to find an outlet, and suddenly dozens of Molotov cocktails rushed towards the bank one after another, some burst inside the hall, and some exploded directly at the gate, blocking the way to escape.

In less than a minute, smoke billowed from the halls of the entire bank, flames rose, and a scene of hell.

"Keep your head down, cover your mouth, breathe as slowly as you can, and wait for someone to come and save us!"

Seeing this scene, where did the middle-aged man and the vendor dare to come out again, curled up his body tightly on the ground, and he did not forget to whisper to the vendor.

Although the two of them hid in a relatively safe place, the others in the bank were not so lucky, one of the staff members was even directly hit by the Molotov cocktail, panicked and the others rushed to the rescue, but the fire spread quickly, although everyone scrambled to extinguish the flames on her body, but in the absence of tools after all, it was to no avail, and soon the staff member was burned alive in the piercing screams.

There was a terrible scream in his ears, and his nose was filled with a pungent smell, and the vendor only felt his head sink for a while, and slowly he lost consciousness, and at the last moment of his life, a thought of regret flashed in his heart, if he hadn't been curious for a while, would he ......

But there is no regret medicine to sell in this world after all!

Outside the burning bank, the riot force attacked quickly, and quickly swept here in the flying debris and firelight, and also found the bank shrouded in flames. The police and fire departments, who were following them at the moment, were quickly dispatched and began emergency assistance.

Unfortunately, despite the rescue of more than 20 trapped people, four people died in the fire, including the elderly vendor. (To be continued.) )
