Chapter 38: One size fits all to stabilize the overall situation

Two days after martial law in the city, various videos and photos of the smashing, looting and burning on the night of July 5 went viral on the Internet.

Some of the video footage shows mobs frantically beating people, from living people to bloodied faces lying motionless on the ground.

Some videos record the process of the mob smashing cars and shops, in which they smash one car after another, whether it is a small car or a large car, whether it is a private car or a bus, whether there is a person or no one, all of them are stopped, the Uighur vehicles are released, the people on the vehicles are not Uighurs, they are pulled down and beaten, and other vehicles are smashed.

There are also videos of arson, burning cars, burning shops, where it is good to burn, the fire is small, and the fire is loud and shouting to celebrate.

The people who ran out of the fire were pushed back by the mob, and some of them had fire on their bodies, and the mob was afraid of setting themselves on fire, so they did not dare to push into the fire, ignoring the screams of the crowd, and the mob directly beat the people on fire to the ground with sticks, until they could not move, and finally they did not know whether they were killed or burned to death.

The group of photos circulating on the Internet are almost all close-ups of the people who were killed and injured, distorted faces, bloody faces, desperate struggles, attempts to dodge and escape, some with sticks, some fell to the ground, and many photos render an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

The Internet is full of all kinds of photos and videos of smashing, looting and burning, all of which are creating a scene of extreme chaos in Wushi, judging from the videos and photos, it is like purgatory on earth.

Looking at these photos and videos, people break out in a cold sweat, their blood pressure explodes in anger, and their lungs explode, and they can't wait to find the perpetrators of violence immediately, and let them taste the atrocities inflicted on the victims!

At the same time, in addition to videos and photos of mobs smashing, looting, and burning, there are also many photos and videos of public security police, special police, and armed police fighters dispersing and arresting mobs.

Judging from the videos and photos of the police, special police, and armed police who dispersed and arrested the mob, the stability maintenance forces were very violent, and it seemed that they were brutally suppressing the peaceful protesters with the overwhelming power of the state, so that the masses who did not know the truth would sympathize with the arrested and dispersed mobs.

Among them, there are videos and photos of Zou Yitian, Zhang Wei, and Lei Zengrong at the gate of the Agricultural University, which are very clear, and they are portrayed as a violent group that threatens students, forces students to delete their atrocity records, and suppresses righteous and enthusiastic college students to uphold justice for the masses.

Through them, the armed police force was directly branded as a criminal group that violently and bloodily suppressed the peaceful protesters.

In the end, the saboteurs want to direct public opinion to criticize the state and the system, further tear apart society, shake the stability of the border society, and achieve their criminal goals.

With the wide spread of videos and photos, ethnic hatred has rapidly intensified, shouting and killing on the Internet, full of anger, and residents of various communities are also ready to move, wanting to vent their dissatisfaction and resentment, a storm is coming!

Just when Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms clearly felt that the mood of the masses in each neighborhood was abnormal and that the storm was coming, the superiors took decisive action.

After perceiving the powerful offensive launched by the three forces at home and abroad through the Internet, the higher authorities decisively cut off the interconnection network and mobile communication signals, and cleaned them up in one fell swoop.

This knife has cut off the command link between the three domestic forces and foreign countries, and also cut off the communication and tandem between the various parts of the three domestic forces.

Even journalists from all walks of life at home and abroad have lost contact with the outside world, cut off the Internet, cut off mobile phone communications, and it seems that the whole of Xinjiang has disappeared from the face of the earth.

Of course, Xinjiang will not disappear, there are no mobile communications, there are still wired telephone communications between various units, and the basic coordination of various units and departments and the implementation of tasks have not been greatly affected.

After the higher authorities resolutely shut down the Internet and mobile communications, cutting off the whole of Xinjiang from the world, all kinds of forces that were ready to move quickly disappeared, and various communities quickly calmed down under the high-intensity work, and a storm ended as soon as it began to ferment.

But one-size-fits-all is only an emergency strategy, and it cannot last long, otherwise there will be another accident under the huge pressure from all sides.

Two days after the complete network shutdown and the cessation of mobile communication service signals, some regions, some industries, and some units and departments gradually resumed some network and mobile communications.

After a few days, most of the Internet was restored, but the ordinary network could no longer be connected to other regions in China, let alone foreign websites and receive foreign information from the Internet.

Subsequently, most of the mobile communication services were restored, but the entire mobile phone communication was limited to Wushi, and it was temporarily impossible to communicate with other parts of Xinjiang, other provinces, and even more so with foreign countries.

In a short period of time, Wushi or Xinjiang has formed a closed intranet, and most of the information is disseminated in relatively closed areas, and the three forces cannot be linked to each other, nor can they form a torrent, and all the imminent movements are suppressed.

During the period of disconnection from the Internet, the public security department conducted high-intensity investigations and investigations, and within a few days, arrested a large number of fugitive mob backbones, as well as people who were incited to participate in smashing, looting, and burning.

There were too many people involved in the smashing, looting and burning that night, and many of them joined temporarily, as long as they were not caught on the spot, the chance of catching them again was very small, as long as they did not commit any more crimes in the future, they were basically considered to have escaped.

In addition to the mobs directly involved in smashing, looting, and burning, the public security people's police also followed the traces of the Internet to arrest a number of hidden saboteurs, and a large part of the three forces hidden in the Internet to incite violence, guide public opinion, and find out the police and armed police have been uprooted, and it is difficult to form a climate in a short period of time.

After the capture of the fleeing mob and the eradication of the hidden saboteurs of the Internet, the Internet was further liberalized, and in some regulated areas, journalists could communicate with the outside world, and mobile communications were restored to a limited extent.

However, it will take a long time for everything to return to normal before the violent smashing of the three forces at home and abroad is completely put to rest.

No one can predict how long it will take, and everyone can only do their best, and then pray that the three forces will not have another incident.

With the gradual restoration of the Internet and mobile communications, martial law measures in Wuhan are also being eased at the same time, except for major intersections and neighborhoods, residential communities are gradually deregulated, and the whole city is gradually regaining its vitality.

The control was relaxed, but the armed police mobile division and all the armed police units in the urban area did not all evacuate, and the mobile squadron did not leave the street for half a day.

Zou Yitian, Zhang Wei, and Lei Zengrong, who were criticized by the squadron for the dissemination of the video on the Internet, put down the burden in their hearts and devoted themselves to the task after writing a profound review.

This transmission incident has taught them a profound lesson that they will never be actively exposed to the camera in the future, especially during special, unexpected missions.

This is because if they are not careful, their actions to safeguard the security and stability of the masses of the people and society are likely to turn into material for saboteurs to spread rumors and attack the armed police force and the state, which they cannot accept under any circumstances.
