Chapter 234: Martial Law
The uncle and nephew of the Zheng family were very happy to visit Chang'an Town, everything here made them feel novel, but just when they walked around for a few hours and were about to visit the steel factory, they found that there were many soldiers on the street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Soldiers with spears and red armbands on their hands are conducting an interrogation on the streets, and from the portraits they hold in their hands, it can be seen that they seem to be arresting someone.
It seems that it is, but the gun on the back of the Australian soldier is good, Zheng Sen wants to go up and borrow it to take a look, but fortunately he was stopped by Zheng Hongkui, aren't you looking for trouble, people don't know that you are the eldest son of the Zheng family, maybe I will give you a rifle butt.
The Department of Homeland Security is catching spies, and this fanfare is designed to deter the Dutch and Spaniards, who have sent the most spies to Australia and have infiltrated various industries, which is a very dangerous thing.
As soon as the order was issued, the police and the local garrison, as well as the garrison, launched a joint arrest operation, and the home fleet also imposed a blockade of the harbor to prevent any ships from leaving.
This is the first time in Australia that even some old migrants have never seen it, and martial law is imposed on the streets, and everyone must return to their homes within a specified time.
Wu Zhengdao also found the Zheng family's uncles and nephews in the crowd and pulled them aside to avoid being arrested.
"Minister Wu, what is this, I see that the soldiers are carrying guns, this is to arrest key criminals."
"Lord Zheng, I won't hide it from you, this is the Ministry of Homeland Security of my country is carrying out an operation to arrest spies, and some countries and individuals have sent a lot of spies to infiltrate in order to steal Australia's secrets, and secretly send some technical information back to China, which is clearly stipulated by law in Australia, and it is a crime, so this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen."
"We have to make sure that secrets are not leaked, do you want to know how much manpower it takes to develop a patent?"
Australia has been doing this thing for the protection of patents, if nothing else, let's just say that the Netherlands and the West blocked China's technology at the beginning, but it was very strict, so there was no room for negotiation in this matter, especially when it came to technical leaks.
Australia's technology must not be leaked out, this must be done, the National Security Council strictly requires all departments to do it, otherwise they will be punished to a certain extent, this is a major matter related to national defense security, and everyone dare not be careless.
But for the Ming people who don't have the awareness of technical precautions, maybe they feel that this is a bit of a fuss, and they are saying that their own good things can be used more often, isn't it a good thing, why should they take precautions.
The uncles and nephews of the Zheng family naturally don't understand, and they must be thinking in their hearts that there is actually an undercurrent surging in Australia, which seems to be calm.
For ordinary immigrants, this is definitely a big deal, after all, so many troops have been dispatched, and martial law has been imposed, this is the first time, and they are naturally more concerned about whether their lives will be affected in the future.
In order to avoid too many worries from the public, the Executive Committee also made arrangements for the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau to do a good job in the community, telling the residents that this was the action taken because they found that there were spies among the residents.
What is a spy, that is, a secret agent, and there are secret agents among them, which makes the big guy feel very surprised, secret agent, who is this.
Looking at their familiar faces, they were all guessing who it was.
Zhao Ah Si is an ordinary smelting worker in the steel plant, usually kind, immigrated to Australia for half a year, not only with the workers in the past six months, but also with the neighbors also get along very well, whoever has a job that needs to be carried he will go.
It's such a person, he was arrested at home, and today he heard his daughter-in-law say that martial law was imposed on the street, and he felt that something was going to happen, and he was not in good spirits.
It's just that he is more worried about his daughter-in-law and the child in his belly, if he is himself, it will be okay if he is arrested, but the child and his daughter-in-law are innocent, his distraction has attracted the attention of his daughter-in-law, and he repeatedly asks him what is going on, he just doesn't say it, until the staff of the Department of Homeland Security walks into his house and takes out an arrest warrant, he looks at his daughter-in-law like a deflated ball, and says angrily that he killed her, and explains that it has nothing to do with her.
"Mr. Zhao, you are suspected of stealing state secrets, and we have sufficient evidence to show that the theft of the steel smelter has something to do with you, so please come with us."
"What's wrong with Lao Zhao, how can he be taken away." The neighbors were all inquiring about the situation, and some of the people who heard the rumors explained to the people on the side that they had heard that they had sold the secrets of the factory to foreigners, and that this was not a collaborator.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Zhao is such a good person, how can he do this, you like to talk nonsense."
In a burst of discussion, Lao Zhao was taken away, leaving only his pregnant wife at home, but the people from the neighborhood committee immediately came to the door to appease him.
"Mrs. Zhao, you can raise the baby at home with peace of mind, our community neighborhood committee will definitely notify you if there is the latest news, if Mr. Zhao is wronged, the government will release him safely."
Although some people were so comforted, Mrs. Zhao's face did not mean relief at all, and he could see from the expression on her husband's face that he seemed to have known that such a thing would happen.
This shows that it is basically true, so she is in a very complicated mood now, and she doesn't know if her husband will die, but it is certain that this matter is very difficult to do.
On the same day that Zhao Ahsi was arrested, there were many similar scenes in other communities, and some people who usually looked honest were taken away by the police.
According to Billy Zhou's latest statistics, there are at least 30 to 50 people to be arrested this time, and these people are all talents, and it would be great if they could turn the other around, and it would be a very good thing for Australia's intelligence services.
As long as these people are turned against them, it will greatly increase the efficiency of the intelligence services, and it will also help to infiltrate the Dutch.
Of course, the worries are about the Dutch and Spanish embassies, each of whom has been arrested, and at this time they can only try to get rid of the relationship with them, otherwise it will definitely affect their relationship with Australia.
Therefore, after the end of martial law, the ambassadors of both countries sent people to explain, saying that these people have nothing to do with them, but this kind of behavior of getting rid of relations without self-recruitment is a bit naïve.
