Chapter 43: The Procession
The east has just revealed the white of the fish's belly, the fiery red sun is only slightly rising, and the breeze has blown all over every corner of the D capital!
People who wake up early and do morning exercises chase the best time of the day and quietly run through the streets, nightclubs that have been open all night have just closed, and yawning clerks are heading home with their companions, looking for a warm haven!
The soldiers who were on the streets twenty-four hours a day also changed their guards when the morning came! The soldiers, who had been patrolling the streets for four hours, saluted their successors with dew and weariness, dragged their heavy feet into armored infantry vehicles, and drove back to the camp en masse!
The soldiers who had just taken up their posts began to confront each other in the streets in camps again! The spark between the two sides lasted from late night until dawn, and then they will be tested in the scorching sun, and who will be the first to be melted and extinguished!
Suddenly there was a loud noise at one end of the street, and all the soldiers turned their heads to the other side of the street! So early in the morning, except for sanitation workers and people who get up early and exercise early, where can there be such a noisy sound!
The soldiers threw away their antagonistic attitudes at the moment, huddled together and looked curiously at the place where the sound came from! The long streets lead into the distance and end up outside the city! It is also a very wide highway that passes through an elevated highway and a river!
Usually there will be a lot of traffic on this road, and it will not stop 24 hours a day! At the moment, there is not a single car! This can't help but make the soldiers on both sides wonder, what the hell is going on today!
"Look, it's people, it's a lot of people!" Suddenly, a soldier roared, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen even more! Some even climbed into the tank, covering the rising sun with their hands and squinting into the distance!
The earth-shattering slogans began to float neatly from a distance, and a procession of tens of thousands of people suddenly turned around the corner of the street! They were holding banners of all kinds, and many more were holding homemade wooden signs! I don't know what is written on it from a distance, but just by looking at the excitement of the crowd and the way people walk, I know that this is something that is not easy to mess with!
Suddenly, an order came over the walkie-talkie of the Three Masters stationed on the street: "Attention everyone, attention to everyone!" Received a notice from the higher authorities that the people will hold a protest march today! All troops immediately retreated, all troops immediately retreated, and absolutely must not affect the legitimate march of the population! ”
The soldiers of the Three Masters Regiment who received the order immediately retreated from the streets they had occupied! This made the soldiers of the garrison command, who had been confronting them all the time, stunned, could it be that the other party just gave up his defense area so lightly?
The soldiers of the Three Masters did not go far, they just gave way to the main traffic routes, as long as it was convenient for the procession to pass through Guò! They were still standing on the corner of the street, where tanks and armored vehicles drove into the alley! It's like this qiē is none of their business, they're just spectators!
In the blink of an eye, the angry procession has reached the entrance of the bustling street! From a distance, it looks like a long black dragon, from the alleys on both sides of the street from time to time people come out to join, and the tail behind is still pouring out, the scene is very spectacular!
The soldiers of the garrison headquarters began to tighten their grip on their weapons! They did not receive any orders whether to retreat or to let go, or to organize them to advance! They could only stare at each other, helpless about the situation!
"Don't panic, everyone! They are not allowed to pass our team! We are the forces of the government, and no one will be allowed to trample on the majesty of the government! "The officer who took the lead climbed into the armored car and shouted, waving a pistol in his hand, as if he was going to make a big charge!
But the steady stream of people in front of him were all unarmed civilians, and his soldiers looked up at him one after another, with a lot of helplessness in their expressions! The officer looked around with an embarrassed face, and finally said helplessly: "Tear gas on armored vehicles and tanks, if someone breaks in, release gas to disperse the crowd!" ”
Just as the armored vehicles and tanks were loaded, the officer leading the team quickly ran towards the command car behind the team! He wants to ask for instructions from his superiors, let him face tens of thousands of marching people here alone, and he can't afford the consequences!
And the soldiers of the garrison headquarters who received the order were also relieved, using gas bullets instead of guns, at most to disperse the people, and there was no need for bloodshed, which made everyone secretly happy! After all, they are all their own compatriots, and it is too much to say that they suddenly get on the knife and get the gun!
The crowd of people in the parade is getting closer, tanks and armored vehicles have finished loading, and the smoke launchers mounted on both sides can fire sixteen tear gas canisters at any time at any time!
The crowd stopped five meters from the line, and this time all the soldiers could see what was written on the big banner of the comer! Almost without exception, they all demanded that the emperor go back to his palace, return power to the people, and hand over the country to everyone! There were also many people who drew various cartoons satirizing the various actions of the emperor, and overnight, the emperor became a clown in all of D-Kyo!
The leader of the procession shouted at the team blocking their way: "Hurry up and get out of the way, we are a legitimate demonstration, you can't stop us!" ”
The officer who had run to ask for instructions from his superiors ran back again, and at this time he already had an extra microphone in his hand! Standing on the chariot, he shouted loudly: "Citizens of D-Jing, please hurry home!" This road has been under martial law by us, I hope you will not be provoked by people with intentions, hurry up and go home! If you have any questions, please contact the relevant legal department or aid agency! Take care of your requests! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you still march with us? The Emperor has robbed us of all our money, and he has sent troops to surround our offices! I'm the judge, who do you want me to go to! "A bald uncle walked out of the line in a crisp suit! Looking at his rigorous appearance, he looks like a figure with a face in society!
"yes, yes, get out of the way, we're going to protest, we're marching! We're going to publish our grievances! "Many people in the uniforms of state functionaries mingled in the parade and shouted loudly! The boiling breath began to gradually spread backwards, and the whole team was infected, and everyone was shouting: "We want to protest, we want freedom, the emperor go home!" ”
The officer of the garrison command who led the team was completely dumbfounded! The procession was not only composed of ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials and staff of various departments! What is this parade called, and can it be stopped casually?
Just when the officers were stunned, the parade began to boil! The man who had just taken the lead shouted loudly: "Do you give way!" Don't you hear the shouts of tens of thousands of D-Kyo people behind me? We're going to see the emperor, we're going to protest in person! ”
The officer calmed down and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "Everyone, please calm down, everyone, please calm down!" There must be some misunderstanding in between! Please tell me everything you have to say, and I will convey it to you on your behalf! His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to receive you, but he will definitely deal with your requests! ”
"Why can't we see the Emperor! The laws of the country stipulate that the emperor does not have any right to interfere in politics, shouldn't he be very idle? What are the chances of the day? Is he afraid to see us? Uncle Judge roared, his face full of anger, as if he was extremely distressed that the Emperor had trampled on the law!
The officer leading the team stood on the armored car, his face suddenly gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "You really don't know what to do!" The Emperor is the ruler of Fuso, and you dare to say such a thing! Don't say you're a judge, I'll arrest you if you're the Minister of Justice! Based on what you just said, I can shoot you right now!" ”
"Look, this is the Emperor's centralized rule! No law, no **! We are all free people in a free country, and no one can restrain our will! The judge shook his fist in rage, and saliva sprayed like a bullet in the officer's face!
The crowd was excited, and tens of thousands of demonstrators began to be agitated! It's like boiling water, tumbling from front to back! A lot of people are desperately huezing forward, they want to see what the people who want to take away their freedom look like!
The officer looked at the excited crowd, and he suddenly realized that he had made a very strict mistake just now! Why provoke these people in front of you! He's just got in touch with the above, and the one from above means to disperse the people, no matter what!
His audacity suddenly grew again, and he shouted at the soldiers under the armored car: "Catch that guy who calls himself a judge!" We have to interrogate whether this conspiracy parade was provoked by this guy! ”
Immediately, two wolf-like soldiers rushed forward, and without saying a word, they twisted the judge's arm from behind! The poor middle-aged uncle was twisted like a chick with his head to the ground! He roared in pain, but his mouth was still crying without begging for mercy: "Freedom, freedom! We can't afford to lose our freedom! ”
"Look, they're the Garrison Command soldiers who have taken all our finances! And now they want to capture our people! We won't say yes! ”
Someone in the parade screamed, and everyone began to boil! The makeshift sign in his hand was used as a weapon, and the angry crowd poured like a tidal wave towards the soldiers next to the armored car!
Looking at the crowd of people grinning like demons rushing out of hell, the soldiers of the garrison headquarters trembled, and they couldn't tie them together with the docile ordinary city **!
"Tear gas at me and disperse them!" The officer yelled at the armored car under him! Tanks and armored vehicles, having received the order, immediately fired gas shells! The streets were quickly covered in smoke, coughing, wheezing everywhere!
The officer who led the team sneered: "I told you not to disperse!" I'll send you home! ”
Suddenly, his legs tightened, and the officer lowered his head in shock! I saw a citizen with a face full of snot and tears, and grabbed his foot fiercely! Then another hand grabbed him! More and more, the officer finally saw in horror that he was surrounded by people who were extremely angry!
Suddenly, his whole body was pulled off the armored car! Before he lost consciousness, he saw countless punching bags as big as punching bags rapidly approaching him!
