Chapter 135: The Rise of the Proletarians
The chaos in Piltover was not at all expected by Rhodes.
As he thought, the struggle between the Phi Cheng Armaments and the Pi Cheng Supreme Council soon reached a fever pitch.
Although the military wanted to gain supreme power in the city, since the Supreme Council was still the de jure ruler, it was difficult for the military to directly take control of the city by violent means.
The current chaos has caused a very serious problem for Piltover, and if this chaos spreads, then Piltover will be finished.
Although they are fighting for power and profit, after all, they will not kill chickens and eggs, after all, people like Jiagu are a minority, and in general, the two sides still have a bottom line.
Interestingly, the shameless Supreme Council of Picheng took the lead – and you may not believe it, but the source of that opportunity was unconditional surrender.
The Supreme Council of Phi City openly claimed that peace negotiations had been reached with Zaun, and then called on everyone to sit down and talk slowly and solve the problem by peaceful means.
Sounds like a good slogan, right?
But what is the price of peace?
Disarmed, of course! (Twenty-three more)
What made the Picheng military team even more embarrassed was that Zu'an's side withdrew directly when they had the advantage, and they were full of sincerity.
As a result, the Picheng Armament was left in place.
No advance or retreat.
Since the Supreme Council did not make public the "peace agreement" with Zaun, now the people of Picheng saw that Zuan had withdrawn their troops, and did not realize that it was the Supreme Council of Picheng that chose to surrender, so that many centrists turned to the Supreme Council.
After all, what Piltover needs most now is peace, and peace is the prerequisite for solving the problem.
The Picheng armament was pushed directly into the fire pit.
To add insult to injury, the Picheng Armaments lacked a strong leader and had little experience in political struggle, and instead of trying to pull each other down, they fell into self-doubt in the face of the Supreme Council's condemnation from the moral high ground.
Do we have a chance of winning the confrontation?
Could it be that the Supreme Council really had the support of Zaun?
The military is like a poor man who has suddenly obtained a treasure of heaven and earth, and he has a treasure mountain and does not know how to use it.
You must know that the current Piltover military is the only powerful faction in Piltover, although the Supreme Council can also organize some private troops, but it is not enough to confront the armaments.
The armaments, on the other hand, have just tasted the sweetness of force, but habit has made them more willing to seek a way out from negotiations.
And the negotiation ...... It's not the military's strong point!
The Picheng armaments were inexperienced and almost gave up their strengths.
If this continues, the biggest possibility is that the Supreme Council of Picheng will cripple the military reserves, and then regain power and "talk slowly" with Rhodes again.
Naturally, Rhodes would not allow this to happen.
What are you kidding, Zaun's food stock is running out, and after Noxus' aid disappears, Rhodes desperately wants to open up Piltover's trade routes and bring supplies to Zaun - everyone can endure the pain and hunger for a while, but they can't suffer forever, right?
Rhodes will never allow the Supreme Council of Leather City to come to power again!
So, one night, the Piltover military received a special message that they had figured out all the conditions for the "peace" of the Supreme Council of Piltover.
The next day, almost the whole of Piltover knew that the Supreme Council of Piethorn had begged for peace by betraying the country.
Overnight, Piltover's public opinion turned in a direct direction.
The Supreme Council, which was the "peacemaker" a moment ago, turned directly into "the sinner who betrayed Piltover".
Countless angry Picheng people took to the streets to frantically protest and denounce the outrageous actions of the Picheng Supreme Council.
And then...... Physical altercations arise, and eventually these physical altercations turn into bloody conflicts.
The Pittsburgh Armaments came out at a critical moment, declaring that the Pittskaya Supreme Council had "betrayed Progress and betrayed Piltover", then forced the Council to dissolve and declared the entire city in a state of "emergency military administration".
If normal script law had been followed, there would have been a good chance that Piltover would have a strong junta – as was the case with Noxus before.
It's a pity that the Picheng armament is congenitally insufficient.
Piltover's military did not have a staff department, there was no logistics department, only a purely combat crew.
Military management can solve the problem temporarily, but it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.
So, after a brief period of settling, riots broke out in Piltover.
Terrible riots spread rapidly throughout Piltover.
In this case, the Pittsburgh armaments showed their inexperience and incompetence in full - even if they intervened at the first opportunity, the result was to amplify the unrest considerably.
Without legal workers, the Picheng Armament Corps has no law for the petty hooligans who take advantage of the fire to rob or kill them.
Without logistical supporters, it is difficult for the Picheng Armaments to make a correct estimate and deal with the situation of the riots.
With no administrative experience, the Picheng Armaments are in disarray......
If the Leather City Armament had been a violent seizure of power before, perhaps the Leather City would have maintained a semblance of calm due to fear and fear.
But now, the Picheng Armament doesn't even make an example of chickens and monkeys...... So who will take them seriously?
Under the manipulation of those who have a heart, both the High Council of Picheng and the Phicheng Armament are driven to the stage, and then expose their weakest side, making the Picheng people almost completely dead to them.
And just when the whole of Piltover was in the dark, a new political force came to the stage.
At a time when the struggle between the military and the Supreme Council was in full swing in Piltover, the proletarians, who usually no one cared about, quietly took possession of their own organization.
When both the Pittsburgh armaments and the Supreme Council succeeded in proving themselves inadequate, the "Proletarian League" in Pittsburgh began to make its voice heard.
Piltover is Mrs. Piltover's Piltover!
The management and future of Picheng should be decided by the people of Picheng themselves!
At a time when the city was in turmoil and people were frustrated with the traditional political power, the slogan of the Pitt City Proletarian Union was awkward, but it was refreshing.
We do not represent the interests of the Supreme Council, we do not represent the interests of the military - we represent the interests of Piltover!
Although the political demands of the Picheng Proletarian Union are still ignorant and the organization is still in its infancy, it is certain that they have become an emerging force.
Regardless, Rhodes kept his agreement with Catherine.
After all, a harmonious twin cities is always in Rhodes' interest, and chickens are full to lay good eggs – isn't it?
