Walking in the city center, the frightened reporters are quickly lighting the spotlight to photograph the messy city center, which is so scary that they even suspect that if they don't hide a little farther, and the mob has a slight fear of the reporters, maybe their cameras will be snatched away.

With a sad face, Durin stood in the empty city center, the smoke column above it has not been extinguished, and there are smashed shops everywhere, as well as innocent citizens lying on the ground wailing. Du Lin pursed his lips, "For everything that happened here, as the mayor, I feel my own guilt. I will make up for everyone's losses, free medical care, free reconstruction, and additional compensation. I promise, this will be the absolute last!"

At this time, some reporters suddenly realized that this was also news, and immediately surrounded Durin, and Haight and the police kept a certain distance between them and Durin.

"Mr. Mayor, what do you think of this march?", a female reporter kept squeezing inside, holding a pen and notebook in both hands and holding it high above her head. Durin didn't know if she could actually record what she heard without looking, but that didn't stop him from expressing his opinion.

"You're wrong, ma'am, it's not a march, it's a riot!", Dürin's first sentence quieted the reporters a little, and the rustle of writing immediately sounded around him, "The empire has given all citizens the right to assert their rights through the march, but there is one thing, the march must be safe, the safety of the marchers and the safety of other onlookers. He stretched out his hand to the side and sneered, "Look, does this seem like a safe place?"

He lifted his toes and fell, and with a click, blood splattered on the cuffs of his trousers, and there was a thud of water.

"No, it's not a march, it's a riot. They exercise the purpose of rioting in the name of a procession, and this is a crime!"

The female reporter's face was flushed, she liked the young mayor very much, because he said the news that the citizens of the whole empire wanted to see the most tomorrow morning, she hurriedly followed and wanted to continue to ask questions, but was blocked by a young reporter, who asked her own question, "Mr. mayor, who do you think is responsible for this riot? Is it you, or the workers' union that organized the march?"

The mayor glanced at the reporter and frowned, "That's a good question, as we all know that there was a general strike today, which was personally initiated by Bucho, the president of the workers' union, and it is said that the president of the general union was also involved. Not only did they strike, but they also submitted an application for a march, which is still in my office. It is well known that the workers' unions have caused huge economic losses on more than one occasion through strikes and demonstrations, but this is their power, and I have given them the approval and in my reply to the letter that it is necessary to maintain order, sanity and safety. ”

He raised his head slightly, and his voice was a little higher, "But you see, it's not what they say. ”

"I do not deny the role of workers' unions in society, but it would be a mistake to ignore some issues because they are workers' unions. Today, right here, right now, these problems have arisen, and we should face up to this problem and the deeper phenomena that may exist behind it, rather than worrying about who is responsible. Can I simply take responsibility, or the workers' union, to compensate for the damage done to the citizens and the empire caused by all this today?"

Durin shook his head, "No, sir. He sighed, "Whatever the workers' union has to do, I will compensate these innocent citizens for the damage, whether it is financial or health." ”

Anyone is not stupid, and Dühring's words seem to be high-sounding, but he has already shifted the blame to the workers' unions, and has characterized this time as a "phenomenon", which is the rhythm of making things bigger. This, coupled with his offer for compensation, clearly put the workers' unions in a very bad position. The young reporter was so pleased with Dühring's answer that he had even figured out how to draw the reader's attention to his article tomorrow morning with a monstrous headline.

Immediately afterwards, another reporter who seemed very calm asked his own question: "Mr. Mayor, I don't understand something, when the riot broke out, the army quickly cut into the city center, did you expect this? If you had expected it, why did you let the riot break out, instead of using soldiers to deter these people in advance, so as to avoid unnecessary losses caused by this riot?"

Not all journalists are neutral, and some are in the position of the workers' unions, not that they are die-hard supporters of the workers' unions, but that newspapers need more exciting news to earn enough eyeballs.

If Doolin knew that this riot would break out and prepared the soldiers for suppression in advance, then it was a conspiracy.

Perhaps people are more interested in uncovered conspiracies and angry government officials than riots caused by demonstrations.

Durin smiled, "It's an interesting question, if one day you come home and find your wife cheating on someone else, and your wife accuses you of saying that you knew she would be unfaithful, but you didn't stop her in the first place, and thought it was all your conspiracy, how would you feel?", he continued without giving the reporter time to refute, and continued to the inappropriate laughter of the crowd around him," From the time President Butjo handed me the petition for their march, I did hear some rumors that they were going to give me a little bit of color!"

"I'm not sure what this parade will turn into, but in the spirit that I should do my duty as mayor, I informed the Imperial Capital Cordon District that there was a parade here. The reply from the police district was that I should send police to maintain order, but when I told them that the march might involve tens of thousands of people or more, the police district took it seriously and sent soldiers. ”

"Gentlemen, please face up to the scale of this march, it is a march of tens of thousands of people, I don't want to discredit the working class, but we should all understand that there will always be good people and bad people in this world. At the same time, I would like to ask a rhetorical question, if there are many good people in this riot, then why do problems arise when you enter the relatively busy area of the city center?"

"I have heard that a small group of people could not control their greedy desires, thinking that they would be able to get away with the help of the collective, and I have heard that some people have even said that the law will not punish the majority, and if these people who participated in the march themselves have a sense of justice, why did the vast majority of them participate in this riot? If you read the Imperial Law, you should understand one thing, the army is not allowed to enter the city until the time has occurred that endangers the safety of the city and the property and personal safety of the citizens!"

Opposite these reporters, Duhrin downplayed and calmly responded.

But outside the city, Bucho hid in the mud puddle on the side of the road to avoid the army's pursuit, and he listened to the fact that there seemed to be no movement around him, and only then crawled out of the mud puddle. He knew that he was finished, and there was no doubt that the headquarters of the workers' union would never lend a hand to help him, and if they did, they would pull the trouble over with them. Therefore, they are more likely to condemn their actions and mistakes while trying to make up for the negative impact of the riots.

Anyway, I'm done.

Just a few hours ago, Bucho felt that he could force the town hall and the capitalists to bow their heads, but it was only a trivial matter, and as long as Dulin and the capitalists were willing to take the initiative to compensate the injured worker for all the losses, so that the workers' union and him could not have gained some prestige that did not make much sense, he would not have been able to organize such a general strike and a big march!

He glanced back at the city of Otis and finally made the decision that he was going to get out of here. He will not be buried for responsibilities that do not belong to him, he still has lofty ideals and a future, there is no need to dwell on this place. The only thing to be thankful for is that his bank account is anonymous, thanks to the policy of the Imperial Central Bank. Perhaps in the Federation, there will be a more suitable position for him.

The "catastrophe" finally passed, and early the next morning almost all the newspapers reported about the suppression of the riots in the city of Otis, more than 1,000 people were arrested, more than 700 were killed at the scene, and many others were dispersed and disappeared. What makes people feel even more ironic is that the army actually has casualties, a total of more than 30 people were injured, one of them is seriously injured, and has been sent to the best private hospital in the imperial capital for treatment.

This news seems to have attracted a lot of firepower to the workers' unions, or rather, the overnight public relations at the headquarters of the workers' unions played a role, and a large number of newspapers reported on the riot at length, and began to question the Imperial Army. How these thirty people were injured in the face of an unarmed mob, and how the seriously injured serviceman, who was already under guardianship, was seriously injured. Perhaps this is why the Federation was able to almost reach the imperial capital during the Civil War.

Immediately afterwards, the headquarters of the workers' union issued a solemn statement, dismissing Bucho from his post and urging Buqiao to turn himself in as soon as possible in exchange for a discretionary reduction of the judge's sentence, and the workers' union was willing to compensate for the losses incurred by the incident. In the statement, it is not known whether it was intentional or not, and they do not seem to be willing to take responsibility for the riot, but instead put the blame on some workers who "harbor malicious intentions" and "a handful of ulterior motives".

It seems that this has entered the aftermath stage, but the aftermath is much bigger than one might think.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a tsunami!
