984 Executions
There were a large number of civilians in the cabin of the main Kunde ship, and the ground was covered with improvised bedding, and one person was sitting or lying, you were next to my legs, and I was on your back, and the scene was very crowded, like a refugee camp.
Brush –
The hatch opened, and a group of service-oriented housekeeping robots walked in pushing a trolley with buckets of mushy food.
"It's time to eat!"
The Imperial soldiers standing guard shouted, and the crowd suddenly stirred.
Since their captivity, these Kunde civilians have lived in constant fear and fear for their future fate. But in terms of materiality, they were not tortured, the Empire distributed food on time, and did not mistreat prisoners, which calmed the Kunde civilians a lot, and no one acted unwisely.
The housekeeping robot walked through the crowd, handing out food to everyone, and the captives all sat up, holding hot nutritious paste and devouring it, talking to each other, chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.
In the crowd, two Kunde, one large and one small, were huddled together, the smaller one was obviously a Kunde toddler, eating nutritious paste in small bites, and the adult female Kunde next to her poured half of the paste in the bowl to the child.
"Mom, aren't you going to eat?" Seeing this, the child raised his head.
"You eat first, and I'll eat when you're full."
The adult Kunde looked at him tenderly, and the two were a mother and son.
"No, let's eat together." The child shook his head and muttered, "If only Daddy were here, Mom, where did he go?" ”
Hearing this, his mother was silent, and when she saw that the child had been staring at her, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your father may be on another spaceship, and there is no way to come to see us, and when we settle down, he will look for us." ”
"Great, I miss him so much." The child rejoiced, "So when are we going to settle down?" ”
“…… I guess it's going to be soon. ”
Her smile became more and more reluctant, obviously she didn't have any confidence in her heart, but she had to pretend to be determined.
forcibly cheered up and comforted the child a few words, and when she saw that the child continued to bury her head in eating, she quietly turned her face away and wiped away the tears that almost overflowed.
She knew in her heart that her husband might well have been killed...... Because she was the wife of an officer.
After the war, she and her children were sent away as soldiers' dependents, but because of the operation of the empire, they were sent back and became prisoners. Although the empire closed off to the outside world, now that the Kunde were defeated, it was not difficult for her to imagine the losses on the battlefield.
Unable to communicate with the outside world, she does not know whether her husband is dead or alive, and still has the last faint hope, but in front of her children, she must forcibly endure her confusion, anxiety and insecurity, unable to show it, and her heart is under great pressure.
In the dead of night, after the child went to sleep, she was the kind of person who quietly sobbed with tears.
She also didn't know what this civilization called the Red Empire would do with them, so she could only deceive her own children.
"Dididi-"
At this moment, rows of virtual screens suddenly popped up around the shipyard, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
All screens flashed in sync, followed by a familiar figure.
"It's the leader!"
The crowd immediately stirred, and many people stood up directly and stared at the screen.
The same scene was played out on all Kunde prison ships, closed after the Imperial takeover, and most people did not know the details of the current situation, this was the first time since he was imprisoned that he had received outside information and saw the leader on television.
The mother also hurriedly put down the food and pulled the child to stand next to the virtual screen to watch.
On the screen, the Kunde leader sat meticulously, facing the camera, and slowly spoke:
"Fellow citizens, I have heavy news to announce - we have lost this war completely, about seventy percent of our military strength has been annihilated, and the number of dead and missing fleets is as follows......"
He opened his mouth to read a long list of the dead, and the hearts of all the soldiers' families immediately lifted, for fear of missing any number.
As the numbers of the fleets were read out, from time to time someone sat down on the ground as if they were dead, and heart-rending cries rang out in the crowd.
The child was confused, and suddenly, he felt his mother's body shake beside him, almost pulling him down, and he hurriedly turned around and took his mother's hand.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"I ...... It's okay. ”
The mother's body trembled slightly, if she was a human being, her face would be pale at this time, and she finally stood firm on the child's shoulders, forcibly keeping her tone calm, but she could not hide the trembling voice.
Just now, she heard the name of the fleet in which her husband served from the mouth of the Kunde leader, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered, and her eyes went black, and she almost fainted on the spot.
Thinking that the child was still beside her, she forcibly suppressed her emotions, and she couldn't even cry at this time, the whole person was stunned, and her heart was like ashes.
Crying came and went, and a sad atmosphere suddenly filled the room.
Finally finished reading the list of the dead, and the Kunde leader said in a deep voice: "I have to bear the main responsibility for the defeat of the war, and the failed decisions of me and the top management have led to today's evil consequences.
In fact, this war could have been avoided, and it was not the enemy who took the initiative to provoke the war, but me.
The Red Empire has come from afar to explore the unknown, they are actually a peace-loving civilization, but arrogance and hostility have blinded my heart. I was taken advantage of by a third party, hostile to the Red Empire, and inherently put him in the enemy's position, wanting to strike first, so I arranged an attack, which caused the wrath of the Empire.
We had the opportunity to live together peacefully, there was no war, no bloodshed, there was just a mix of cultures, but unfortunately, because of my mistakes, we missed out on this future.
My arrogance, which severed the bridge between the two sides of peaceful contact, is now my responsibility, and my mistake in decision-making has sent the whole civilization into the abyss. ”
As he spoke, he pulled up a document, which was the internal confidential information that had arranged the first ghost bomb trap, as well as the casualty statistics of the Imperial Exploration Team, to prove that he was not telling the truth.
Then, the Kunde leader stood up and bowed deeply to the camera.
"I'm sorry that I have personally buried your past lives, and countless families have been torn apart because of this war."
Hearing this, everyone understood that this was the edict of the guilty one, and at the same time explained to the people the reason for this war.
Looking at this scene, many people were angry.
I'm sorry?
You've done this to the whole race, sorry, is it useful?!
If you hadn't provoked the war, those soldiers wouldn't have died, and we were still living normally, how could we be reduced to prisoners!
It's all because of you that our civilization has encountered an existential crisis, and all of this can obviously be avoided!
A word of sorry and that's it?!
After apologizing, the Kunde leader returned to his seat, expressionless, and continued:
"I know that you are very concerned about what the Red Empire will do with us, all my compatriots, please rest assured, the Red Empire is a higher civilization than us, they will not massacre civilians, they will not castrate intelligence, they have decided to let us go, put us in another galaxy, let us regain our freedom, and help us build a new home......"
Hearing this, everyone's tense nerves relaxed, which was their biggest concern.
It was a great blessing to be able to pick up a life, and the other party was willing to let them go and return their freedom to these prisoners of war.
It seems that the Red Empire is indeed a peace-loving civilization...... Some people have this thought in their minds.
When you provoke a war, you are the first to lose, and the empire treats the captives well, and benevolence and righteousness are the last, and when the two are compared, everyone's hatred for the empire has weakened slightly.
Of course, there is no such thing as reason and objectivity in this kind of matter, and even as a party that provoked the war, most of the Kunde people still have a greater or lesser hatred for the empire, and the families of the fallen soldiers are the most hateful.
However, because of this explanation, their anger was more directed at the Kunde leader.
At this time, the leader of the Kunde tribe brought up another document, on which was written a brief biography of Han Xiao, which was provided by the empire.
"Our new home is the domain of a great man of the Red Empire, his name is Black Star, and he will provide us with shelter, this is a respectable figure, and it is his statement that makes the Empire determined to give us back freedom."
Everyone looked at the image of Han Xiao on the document, and secretly remembered this person who spoke for them.
On the other side, in the office of the Lighthouse Star, Han Xiao's projection was watching the Kunde leader's speech with Tarrokov, and when he saw this, he glanced at Tarrokov amusedly.
"Your help is really thorough, not only handed over the Kunde population resources to me, but also helped me establish an image for free."
"You're welcome."
Tarrokov took a sip of the plant-based health drink and smiled faintly.
As the speech continued, the Kunde leader gave a presentation on his new homeland, a misleading outlook into the future, and said nothing about cultural transformation and the closure of the interstellar network, and then changed to the point:
"The decision-making mistakes have led to today's results, and the high-level leaders will shoulder a huge responsibility, and all the high-level people involved will be executed, and I will take this as a warning, reflect on the lessons of this time, and continue to lead the community in a more rational way to build our new homeland."
Boom –
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an instant uproar and exploded directly!
"Why does he continue to lead us after such a big mistake?"
"It's too hypocritical to execute all the high-level people without any punishment themselves!"
"He's going to hold on to the position of the leader and die and won't let go, right?"
Almost all of them were out of anger.
You've made the tribe like this, why do you continue to be the leader?!
Did we say yes?!
Other high-level officials were executed, and your explanation to us was only a light "I'm sorry"?!
What's the point?!
Even if you don't die, at least you have to step down!
Cheeky to continue to be a leader, it's not your power to do it!
The clan is defeated, but you are fine, still sitting in this position, why?!
It seems to be blaming himself, but in fact, he threw all the pots to other high-level officials, which is simply despicable!
At this time, the Kunde leader stood up and showed a formulaic smile, "I will go to every ship, comfort you, encourage you, and hope to give you the courage to start over, failure is not terrible, I ...... It can make the Kunde great again. ”
This sentence should have been inspiring, but at this moment, almost everyone was staring angrily at the Kunde leader on the screen.
The Kunde leader stood up and walked out, the suspended mechanical camera following.
At this moment, the door of the cabin opened, and a Kunde entered, and the civilians present turned their heads and whispered.
"Who is this person and how can he move freely?"
"I know him, he's one of the secretaries next to the leader, and he's been on TV before."
The secretary clapped his hands, quieted everyone down, and spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the leader will come here for the first time to express his condolences, and I hope that everyone will show gratitude and raise the image of the leader later."
Everyone present was furious.
At this time, you still have to put on a show?!
Those of us who have just learned that our loved ones have died in the war still want to cooperate with you and show our gratitude?!
Many people clenched their fists and trembled with anger.
They didn't know how to describe their feelings, and their anger and disdain for the leader in their hearts almost climbed to the top.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the cabin, and the hatch opened again.
The Kunde leader stepped in, accompanied by a secretary and a group of attendants, with a sympathetic smile on his face.
Seeing his smile, many people were so angry that the shrimp yellow was about to boil.
Still laughing?
Laughing Nima!
However, when he saw the entourage around the leader of the Kunde clan, everyone present dared to be angry and could only stare at him with angry and hateful eyes.
Glancing at everyone, the Kunde leader kept a smile and spoke:
"Guys, how are you doing? I know that you must be in a state of confusion, don't worry, you can tell me anything on your mind, I ......"
Sou!
As he spoke, a black object suddenly flew out of the crowd and smashed into the spotless clothes of the Kunde leader.
Everyone looked down and saw that it was a rice bowl, and all the nutritious paste in it was spilled out and stuck to the clothes of the Kunde leader.
"Get out!" An angry voice rang out in the crowd.
Some people got up, and the others were immediately brought up to the rhythm, and immediately picked up the surrounding rice bowls and threw them vigorously at the Kunde leader.
Bang Bang Bang -
Clusters of nutritious paste slapped on the Kunde leader, the clothes became sticky, and the original color could not be seen, and the whole person was like being fished out of the paste, embarrassed.
"Stop, stop!"
The retinue of the Kunde leader hurriedly stepped forward to block the overwhelming rice bowl and protect the Kunde leader.
At this time, the civilians who couldn't throw it behind also wanted to throw things on the Kunde leader, holding their rice bowls and squeezing forward, causing the human wall to begin to push forward, staring at the Kunde leader and his party to keep retreating.
"Don't squeeze! Get out of the way! ”
One of the attendants shouted loudly, pushing the crowd in front of him, and couldn't help but increase his strength, and suddenly, a female was pushed out by him and fell to the ground.
The next moment, a delicate roar rang out from the crowd.
"You beat my mother, I fought with you!"
The attendant felt a sudden pain in his leg, and when he looked down, he saw a child clinging to his thigh and biting down on his leg, his teeth piercing his carapace.
"Get out of here!" He shivered in pain and couldn't help but slap the child in the face and slap him aside.
The people around saw this scene, and their emotions exploded.
"How dare you hit a child?!"
"Beat them up!"
The anger that everyone couldn't hold back burst out!
Reason crumbled in an instant, and everyone rushed up with a roar, attacking with fists, teeth, and carapaces.
The crowd was excited, the situation turned into bloodshed, and the scene was completely out of control.
Bang!
The leader of the Kunde tribe was thrown to the ground by a group of people, and the people around him beat him wildly, so painful that he bowed his whole body.
At this moment, his neck suddenly ached, and he was bitten hard, and the sharp teeth pierced his carapace and bit into his throat, and immediately the blood flowed profusely.
The Kunde leader's body shook suddenly, and with his peripheral vision, he saw that it was a female Kunde who had bitten his throat, the mother of the child who had just been beaten.
The other party bit his mouth and didn't let go, and his eyes were deeply reflected in his mind.
What eyes are full of anger, hatred, and despair......
Click!
"Ah!!h She tore the Kunde leader's throat with all her might, held it in her mouth, and raised her head to let out a sharp roar from her throat.
Streams of blood poured out of his throat, and the Kunde leader's body gradually became weaker and his consciousness became heavier and heavier.
Looking at the clansmen around him who were wantonly ravaging his body, his mood was calmer than ever.
"Finally...... Elvis has left the building. ”
Boom!
His brain was suddenly hit by a heavy object, and his consciousness sank into complete nothingness.
……
The Imperial soldiers standing guard immediately intervened to control the rioting crowd, but deliberately slowed down and allowed the chaos to last for a while.
Finally, the bloodshed was stopped by the Imperial soldiers, leaving pools of blood on the ground, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground, and everyone saw the corpse of the Kunde leader at a glance, tattered and inhuman.
The riot here was recorded in the original form of the suspended footage that followed, and the Kunde people on the other ships saw this scene.
"Well done to beat him to death!"
"A racial sinner like him shouldn't be alive!"
"This is the only way to sanction him!"
Many people just find it very happy.
In the hallway outside the cabin, which is not captured on camera, a black-gloved Imperial intelligence operative leans his back against the wall, casually tossing a small emotional agitation device.
Hearing the movement inside stop, he stopped with his palm, caught the emotional intensification device, pressed the close button, put his hand in his pocket, turned around and strode away.
……
"This drama is over." Tarrokov turned off the virtual screen.
"You're really getting the most out of it."
Han Xiao pursed his lips, "Not executed by the Empire, but by letting the Kunde clan kill their leader by themselves, this matter will remain in the history of the Kunde clan forever and become a negative teaching material that cannot be forgotten." In a short period of time, those who are agitated may feel very happy, but this incident remains in their minds, and it will continue to have an impact, and the spirit of the entire ethnic group will collapse because of this incident, making it more convenient for you to carry out cultural transformation. ”
"Compared to extermination, this is mild enough."
Tarrokov was expressionless and silent for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked directly into Han Xiao's eyes.
"Blackstar, find the mastermind behind it."
Han Xiao crossed Erlang's legs, folded his hands on his knees, and nodded slowly:
"Well, leave it to me."
