It is clear that as the Kasri Academy incident continues to ferment, the pressure on Duira has become heavier and heavier.

Not just one Kasri College, but the entire city of Oakland, where almost all black people in the city have joined the movement in solidarity with the black people in Kasri College.

Although there has not yet been a large-scale upheaval, it is difficult to say in what direction things will develop if this continues.

And as time goes on, whether the lives of those hostages in the Kasri Academy can be guaranteed will also be marked as a big question mark.

The city council kept urging them to inquire about the course of events at Kasri College, especially the speaker Obuck, who made a phone call almost every two or three hours, which upset Duira the most.

The defenses inside the Kasri Academy seem to be getting better and better, and they don't fire guns unless the police take the initiative to attack, which is immediately met with their most stubborn counterattack.

What Duira and Douglas couldn't figure out was where the blacks got their weapons, including bazookas, that caused the Oakland police to suffer major setbacks again and again.

One thing Duira knows very well, Washington has already known about it, and the reason why President William has not yet said anything about this matter is that Duira believes that President William is waiting for the outcome of the most difficult situation in Oakland. If the Kasri Academy incident does not succeed in the next few days, it is very difficult to say what kind of prospects you will face.

Maybe the Union Army will soon step in - that's the best outcome.

He had no choice but to kick the ball to Douglas, but the Auckland police chief was equally helpless. All the methods that could be thought of had been used, but at this time, the Kasri Academy on the opposite side seemed to have been turned into a military fortress.

Yes, a real military fortress. The people inside must have received some kind of strict military training, otherwise they would never have held out so tenaciously there. The angle they choose to snipe is so perfect, and the quality even surpasses that of the police officers under their own command.

The attitude of the hostages' families is also becoming more and more impatient and uncalm. They kept asking loudly when the Auckland government would be able to free the hostages, and some of them were already shouting insults. But they can't be blamed for this, who can still stay calm when their son, daughter, and husband are hostages?

Although the situation can be brought under control for the time being, there is no guarantee of when a large-scale outbreak will occur.

And at this time inside the Kasri Academy. Huey. Newton, Bobby. Ciel and the members of the "Black Panther Party" under their leadership became more and more confident. They weren't sure they would succeed, but as events progressed, they felt more and more that victory was in their hands.

They don't just have hostages. Moreover, the military qualities of the subordinates sent by Mr. Paris were simply breathtaking, and they were stationed on the commanding heights, and they actually repelled several attacks by the police in one go. If they were professional soldiers, Huey and Bobby would never doubt it.

They rarely communicate with people. There is nothing more to say than to come down at regular times every day to get supplies...... The most amazing thing is that. They are all white. God, they never thought that a bunch of blacks would fight alongside a few whites.

Before this incident, Mr. Paris was right, as long as he could hold on for the last week, the situation in Auckland would change most dramatically, and the strength of public opinion would be seriously unfavorable to the city council, and Mayor Duira would be forced to sit down and negotiate with them. Even, there will be a more optimistic outcome.

Things went exactly as Mr. Paris had expected......

Right now. Three days have passed, and although the Auckland City Government has not yet intended to negotiate with them, the "Black Panther Party" has proceeded with the next step as agreed before the action. They sent representatives, and one of their leaders, Bobby, walked out of the Kasri Academy for a face-to-face conversation with Mayor Duira.

When a black man walked out of the Kasri Academy, the outside of the Kasri Academy was completely boiling......

The hostage's family members, the reporters quickly swarmed up, and the policemen struggled to get through the crowd, raising their guns and pointing them at Bobby, shouting at him to raise his hands.

"I didn't carry any weapons." Bobby raised his hands: "If you're going to shoot a black man in front of so many people, then please put a bullet through my heart!" ”

Bobby was handcuffed, and he did not carry any offensive weapons. But just as the police were about to take him away, the hostage's family, led by Mr. Miles, quickly surrounded them. "I hope that Mayor Duila and Commissioner Douglas will be here to interrogate him, and we also want to know what happened to Tho Dao at Hasri College, and we also want to know that our loved ones are safe at Hasri College," Myers said, as a representative of the hostage's family. This is the right we deserve! ”

The police were a little overwhelmed, surrounded by a group of white men of the same skin color as them...... At this time, the cameras in the hands of the reporters began to flash at the crowd......

Under intense pressure, the municipality of Duira was forced to agree to the hostage's family and had a face-to-face conversation with a black man in full view of the public, something that would have been unimaginable three days ago.

"I'm the mayor of the city of Auckland, Duira, and standing next to me is the Chief of Police, Mr. Douglas." Duira felt that talking to a black man like this was an insult to himself, but he had to endure the unpleasantness: "Say, are you ready to surrender?" ”

"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Director. We will not surrender until our legitimate rights cannot be committed, and we are willing to die here for our cause. Bobby replied calmly.

"So what are you doing here?" Director Douglas was annoyed. Talk like that to a black man. He's going to be the laughing stock of his peers and Oakland high society.

Bobby is one of the few blacks in the "Black Panther Party" who is highly educated, which is the main reason why he is the representative of the "Black Panther Party" this time: "We are asking for food, and the food storage in the Kasri Academy is running out. We also need to get the necessary medicines and two doctors, and there are some people who have some health problems, but I can guarantee that the problems are not big. There are no problems with the drinking water, and the drinking water supply system at Kasri College is far more advanced than the drinking water system at Merritt College......"

Merritt College is a black school, and everyone can hear the irony in this sentence.

"It can't be." Director Douglas flatly refused: "Before you surrender." You won't get anything you want, and Auckland will never negotiate anything with a bunch of terrorists! ”

"We are not terrorists!" Bobby calmly said, "We are just a bunch of fighters fighting for dignity and fairness. And the food, the medicine, the doctors we are proposing are not for black people. It's for those whites inside. You can refuse to provide it, it is your right, but we will not be held responsible for any physical problems with anyone inside. ”

"Why not. Mr. Mayor. Mr. Director! Myers, who has become the representative of the families of all the kidnapped hostages, said loudly: "They don't want weapons, they don't want grenades, they want food, they want life-saving medicine, and it won't harm our children's lives!" Please accede to their requests, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Director! If the City of Auckland is in financial trouble, then I'll take care of all of that! ”

"And us!" The families of the kidnappers let out such roars.

For the first time, Mayor Duira felt a little scared...... Blacks have begun to riot. If you offend these white people again, I'm afraid things will become more complicated......

"For the sake of humanitarian relief, I will prepare what you need...... "Mayor Duira said after a long period of consideration, "but that does not mean that I have compromised with you." And I must warn you that no hostage in the Kasri Academy is allowed to be harmed in any way. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences! ”

"We've done everything we can to help them." Bobby smiled and said, "We care even more than you about whether their lives can be guaranteed, we are not a group of cold-blooded murderers." ”

When Mayor Duira ordered these things to be prepared, countless questions were thrown out. The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to hear who was asking what questions.

"Quiet, quiet!" Miles had to raise his own decibels to quiet the scene: "We simply don't get the answers we want. Mr. Brown, a reporter for the Oakland Newspaper, is here, and I suggest that Mr. Brown ask the questions that each of us wants. I suggest that no one interject when Mr. Brown asks questions, for the sake of our children and family! ”

For the sake of our children and families - this sentence made everyone completely quiet......

Brown was well aware of his responsibility, and at this moment he decided not to think of himself as a reporter entirely: "Bobby, please tell me honestly, is the hostage safe at Kasri Academy?" Has anyone been injured or even dying? ”

"The hostages in Kasri Academy are very safe at the moment...... The premise is that the police don't launch a new attack......" Bobby said quickly, "except for a few minor injuries, there was no problem with the hostages." Of course, there are some people who are weaker and have some physical problems, but as I said earlier, the problems are not very serious. Ladies and gentlemen, we are all blacks, and we are indeed engaged in what you see as a riot, but we are not executioners, and we do not want to give back to the whites the suffering that the whites have inflicted on us......"

Although it was a black man standing in front of him, his words reassured everyone a little......

"Mr. Bobby, I need to thank you on behalf of all of you here." Brown breathed a sigh of relief. He and Miles have been friends for many years, and Miles' son Dove has also been raised by him, and his worries about Dove are exactly the same as Miles: "Why are you doing this? Is your request as simple as what you ask? ”

"White people always look at blacks with tinted glasses...... Bobby's tone is so calm: "You always think you've given us too much." Always think that we are asking too much, always think that the social turmoil is caused by us. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think the city government has told you exactly how the Kasri Academy incident happened......"

Bobby quickly recounted the events of the Kasri Academy...... And there is indeed a big discrepancy between what he said and what the official said......

If what he said was true, then the cause of the incident was the white children, which made Miles feel very ashamed...... He knew his son too well, and Dove was a true racist, who always believed that all blacks should disappear from American soil......

"Our injured black brothers are still in Kasri Academy...... Bobby said in a heavy tone, "and we wanted to take them to the best of the best at Oakland City Hospital." But there was a rule there that not a single black would be accepted, for so long after President Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation. Isn't it a travesty of the United States, a country that preaches democracy and freedom, that serious racial discrimination can still be found in this country? Black people in the United States do the lowest jobs, enjoy the lowest wages, and all of our rights and interests are not guaranteed. Even hospitals refuse our right to see patients. This is not something that can be seen in a country where civilization is progressing...... I think maybe this terrible situation can only happen in the United States......"

There he was silent: "If that's not enough to show that there is a lot of racism in the United States." So I think I can take myself as an example. Ladies and gentlemen, I graduated from Merritt College, I studied law, but no law firm wanted to accept a black man like me, and white people have a monopoly on all the resources in this industry. After graduating from Merritt College, I worked a lot of low-level jobs, but none of them had anything to do with my law major...... Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether this is my own sorrow or the sorrow of the entire American system......"

His gaze slowly swept over everyone's bodies, "I guess many of you are making such a voice in your hearts. Behold, that damned black man is not satisfied again. We allowed them to come to America and gave them jobs and bread, but they kept babbling and complaining that these should go back to their original lands, that they shouldn't exist in this country. But I think I have to tell you that all of us blacks have an American dream, and that the American dream is only for us to have more dignity and recognition in this country, and not for greed. We have given far more than the whites, but no matter how hard we try, we will not be recognized by you......"

Bobby's tone gradually became a little heavy: "I have a friend in New York, who is also a black man, and after countless years of hard work, he finally became an enviable executive in a white company. But do you know what kind of life he lived? His secretary doesn't spread office gossip to him because they get along with each other more restrained than most. As a mid-level executive of a billion-dollar company, he had the right to dine in the executive's dining room, but he could not imagine sitting at a large dining table with the company's president and other senior executives. At the company's ball, he didn't dare to invite the wife of his immediate boss to dance with, and occasionally he would have a drink with his colleagues, and as he left the bar, his colleagues rushed to the train to the suburbs, while he took the subway north back to his mixed apartment in the city, and his neighbors hardly worked as hard as he did to climb the ranks of the company's management...... Was it his luck? No, I think it's a great sadness for him and all the blacks......"

Bobby's words made these whites somewhat reflective. It's true that in some ways the whites have gone too far. If they had heard Bobby's words before, the white people would have thought that this black man was crazy, but now their mentality is completely different from before.

"We promise to release all the hostages, which is the most solemn promise of a black man." Bobby solemnly said, "Believe me, there are many times when black promises are more reliable than white promises. After the incident has subsided, my partners and I are also willing to accept the trial of the court, and all the responsibility will be borne by us, and we will not regret it, because we did what we should have done for the sake of justice for all black people in America, and even if we were sentenced to hanging, we have nothing to regret. Ladies and gentlemen, I think that's what a black man wants to tell you! ”

Bobby's words made every white person present feel a huge shock! (To be continued......)
