Since we got rid of our pursuers at the Flinch junction, we changed our order, with Jassim and Tony in the middle, and I at the back of the line, and finally found the barley field before dawn.

The goal is clear, the road is tortuous, and the process is thrilling. We learned the lesson of the Flinch, slowed down, and chose places that were not the main traffic routes, preferring to take detours rather than find the calmest places. In this way, we also encountered more than a dozen firefights, and it took dozens of kilometers to get home.

I was satisfied with the situation in the barley fields from the outside. Deep ditches were dug on all sides, and the roads left were also protected from horse repellents and sandbag fortifications, and searchlights made of car headlights were constantly strafing all around, and if a ring of barbed wire was added, the fortifications were basically alive. It seems that Uncle Biao's efficiency has improved.

We returned to the command center, and Big Bird was already standing outside the building waiting for us. When he saw me, he said, "You're back, and we're worried about death." The situation may have changed again, and the base has just reported loud explosions from the south, which the veterans believe are like bombs detonating ammunition depots. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Any other news?" ”

Big Bird said: "There is no further information at the moment. You go and rest first, we will let you know in time when there is news. ”

I really needed a break, so I asked Big Bird to find a temporary place for Tony and his dogs to stay, and then went into the lounge and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but someone whispered to me in my ear, and I immediately reacted that it was big eyes.

There must be something. I quickly turned over and sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Big Eyes said, "It looks like you're really tired." It's already afternoon. Get up and get something to eat. ”

I was startled when I saw him with a bandage on his head and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”

Big Eyes smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to go out outside now." Our bulletproof car is no longer used, and we will have to drive tanks in the future. In the morning we wanted to go out and get another ticket, and we didn't have to go far when we met a group of Mexicans. These guys went crazy and shot at sight, and a single rocket blew our bulletproof car into scrap metal. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

Big eyes smiled: "Fortunately, I don't think this bulletproof car is very reliable, so I let all the people in the car get off as soon as there is an exchange of fire." Only the driver was killed on the spot, and then a few people were injured. ”

I sighed: "Are there many people who are so frightened that they retreat?" How to boost morale is a big problem. ”

Big Eyes said, "Don't worry so much. Now the people here know that the situation is grim and that life is at stake, so they can still bear to die. ”

"What's going on? Why is it that people are suddenly more affordable? ”

"I've been harassed here several times since you left yesterday afternoon, Mexicans, whites and blacks. It's just that we have a deep ditch and a high fortress here, and those people don't see a chance before leaving. Calculate the time, some people should have run out of food at home, and they should also come out to find food. Some people want to flee somewhere else, some people want to rob others. People who fled from outside today said that there were crowds of people outside robbing and killing people. People in this community should know what to do as long as they are not stupid. ”

I wiped my face: "It's so bad, huh?" ”

Big Eyes said, "Yes." There's more to it, so we're going to have a conference call to discuss what to do next. ”

I went to the bathroom and rinsed my face with cold water and asked, "What's the trouble again?" ”

Big-eyed said, "Just listen to the radio broadcast." ”

"The radio has a signal again?" It's a strange thing.

Big Eyes led me to the monitoring room and said, "I've been on the radio since the morning, and it's all on a loop. If you listen to it, you'll definitely understand how serious it is. ”

Big Bird is not in the monitoring room, so he should have gone to rest. Big Eyes motioned for a young man in a police uniform to turn on the radio, and sure enough, the news was playing. I was stunned by the content of the so-called news, which was a report of atrocities of killings, rapes and robberies, covering the entire U.S.-Mexico border region, from the West Coast all the way to Florida on the East Coast. The strange thing is that these events are all detailed, extremely bloody and tyrannical, and the characters have names and surnames, as if a reporter had done a good job of posing for a screenplay. For example, the incident just reported clearly said that the two families were tortured and killed in their own homes, but they reported various details of the torture and the names of the abusers.

What's even more bizarre is that I have listened to several reports of incidents, and it is easy to tell from the names of the perpetrators that they are Hispanic or black, and those victims can easily tell by their names that they are European. What the hell is this station trying to do?

I said to myself, "What a sincere incitement to racial hatred!" Thanks to the power outage across the city, hopefully not too many people will listen to the radio. ”

Matthew, who was sitting on a nearby monitoring stand, turned around and said, "Yes, it's agitation." This kind of hate-inciting propaganda has been seen a lot by our police in the past. But I think you're too optimistic, even though the power is out in town, people can listen to the radio in their cars. As long as one person hears it, he can spread it to those around him, so the hatred should have been stirred up by now. ”

Yes, I forgot that most American people have car radios in their cars. Now these cases of vendetta broadcast on the radio must have spread among the people and caused panic, right? This dog day radio!

At 4 p.m., the radio began broadcasting the statement of the President of the United States. This statement struck me even more at the alarm. It began by announcing that the U.S. Air Force had bombed rebel Mexican strongholds and arsenals in the early hours of this morning, killing Mexican party leader Carlos and key members, and then it demanded that all Americans take action to defend the unity of the country, which is understandable. But then the statement said a bit of nonsense, but to put it bluntly, it told everyone that it would take some time for the army to arrive, and therefore asked people everywhere to form their own militias to destroy America's enemies.

What does that mean? It seems to me that this is the rhythm of inciting ethnic conflicts.

The United States did have the experience of successfully using militias during the Revolutionary War, but at that time, except for the marginalized Indians, the absolute majority of the population in this land were white Europeans engaged in agriculture, and a small number of blacks were basically subordinate to white slaves, so the contradiction was very simple. Even so, heinous atrocities took place among the independents and royalist locals. It's a different story than it was more than 200 years ago, when Europeans and Latinos were evenly proportioned, and to a lesser extent, African-Americans and Asians. There are huge differences between these four races in terms of living habits, cultural inheritance, overall education level, and overall income level, and it is impossible to knead them together without the guidance and reconciliation of the government. And the statement clearly tells people that they will be in a state of anarchy for a while, but also tells them that they are authorized to attack what they consider enemies, and they know what the consequences will be with a pig's head.

I don't understand, this statement is true or false. If this statement was really made by the President of the United States, what did he really want to do?

Big Eyes slapped me on the shoulder and woke me up from my dementia: "Don't be in a daze. We're going to have a meeting, and we're going to talk about how to deal with the consequences of this announcement. ”

I looked up and saw that Big Bird, Uncle Biao, Bill and others had all squeezed into the monitoring room. The place in the monitoring room is a bit small.,It seems that the command center should be planned to get a teleconference room in the future?

At this time, Garland's voice came out of the microphone: "Hello everyone, are you all here?" James has heard the statement of our honorable president, right? What do you think? ”
