Chapter 673: After the Fact

Three days is enough time for a lot of time, three day and night exchanges, three slumbers and wakefulness, and three freshly baked newspapers. It is strange that there is no big news in the newspapers about the extermination of the Freedom Front, and even if there is, there is no overwhelming coverage, which seems a little strange. However, those who cared about the news soon found a reason for self-persuasion, probably because the cabinet did not want some things that should not be revealed to be overwhelmed and made known to everyone, so everyone was at ease.

It's just a little pity, such a record should be reported emphatically, so that people can know the majesty of the Imperial Army, as well as the terrible combat effectiveness.

What they hoped for came true on the fourth day, but no one was happy about it, because the news was very—terrible!

Yes, damn it.

It was the uncrowned kings who wanted their lives, and these reporters described two diametrically opposed things with the same photos and different words, and what should have been a medal for heroes became a weapon to kill them in an instant.

The front page of the Imperial Capital Daily, an enlarged photo occupies the entire newspaper page, it is a photo taken on the hillside, the whole valley is almost full of corpses with hideous and twisted faces, what makes people even more chilling is that these corpses are also numbered on their ears, just like those animals in the slaughterhouse, fill in some numbers with an egg-sized sign, and then use a special machine to pierce the ears of cattle or sheep, so that they have their own "identity".

These people are the same, they lie quietly on the ground like slaughtered animals, their heads are bloody and fleshy, and they can smell a strong smell of blood and cold and cruel humanity through the newspaper.

The headline on the front page was moved to the second page, the first time since the release of the Imperial Capital Daily, and the headline "The Truth" also used bright red colors, and the next article began to reveal the identities of these people, and when people were still shocked by the content of the photo, their bodies trembled, and the following text made them feel an unspeakable anger and sadness.

Because these people were slaves, they lived in the mines of the west, living in the dark, eating less than the fodder for livestock, and many fell ill because of the heavy manual labor and poor living conditions, and were thrown into abandoned mines to wait for death. In the West, there is a world of death that ordinary people cannot imagine, and slaves die every minute of every day, and their death does not alarm anyone, except for the hard labor of slaves like them.

The miners, led by the Western Mining Society, bought cheap labor from the traffickers by means of purchases, and then overused them until they died, and then replaced them with new ones. It was a lawless world, a world that had never been respected, and the mine guards under the command of the mine owners were given the power to kill and kill, and they allowed their emotions to dictate their actions, and they wantonly killed or raped the slaves, and no one would judge them, because these slaves did not exist in people's minds.

Eventually, some of the slaves were freed by a good mine owner, and instead of returning home, they threw themselves into the cause of freeing the slaves. They were branded as extremist organizations by these mine owners and capitalists, and they were killed in a frenzy. The photograph shows a massacre that took place four days earlier. A group of rescued slaves live in hiding in the valley, but their presence has disturbed some people.

For example, the mine owners, the capitalists, and the traffickers in the West, so they came together to try to get rid of these slaves, and they did.

Using a bloody and brutal massacre to cover up the chain of interests in the dark world of the West, these mad people for money and power distort the truth, turn a group of people who yearn for freedom and are unwilling to become slaves into militants, and then trick the Imperial Army into a massacre against them. Their wish was granted, and if it weren't for the fact that an unnamed slave had provided such content and information to the newspaper after fleeing the valley, the people might have been immersed in the cheers of the extermination of the militants!

We are fooled, as every time we are hurt, our goodness is deceived by disgusting vested interests. Today, they are able to turn black and white into a group of slaves as dangerous militants, so tomorrow when we stand in the sun and hold high the banner for our power, will it also happen that they turn us into bad guys and let another group of people come and destroy us?

This is the greatest mockery of freedom, this is the greatest stain of public opinion, this is the retrogression of history, and it is the ugliest scandal of all time!

All those who read this newspaper had many emotions, as the newspaper said, and the other day they were still excited by the news that those hateful extremist militants were finally coming to an end. Now, the newspaper slapped them hard and made them cheeks so hot that they were embarrassed. They actually rejoiced and even cheered for the victory of the executioner, but let a group of innocent people become victims, which is the greatest deception, and they are also hurt.

In an instant, the swarms of activists appeared in parks, on street corners, and everywhere people gathered, and they made powerful speeches to get more people to know about it and what was behind it.

The Western Mining Association was pushed to the forefront by public opinion for a while, and it is believed that the Western Mining Development Committee knew all the inside stories and planned all the actions. Because all the members of this organization are mine owners in the west, they are all slave owners, and only these slave owners will worry about the losses caused to them by the exposure of the slaves.

The day after the incident began to gain momentum, a western miner named Federer stood up in front of all the media, and he claimed to hold a press conference three days later to give a detailed account of all the inside stories in the west. Journalists from the entire empire, including the Federation and some small surrounding countries, have begun to leave for the west, and this press conference may change the existing pattern in the west and shake the whole world.

"Look, the West Mine will be finished. Doolin threw the Western Journal of the Day on the table and looked at Henry, who was sitting across from him.

Henry's face was a little strange, he kept tilting his head and looking at Durin, and after a while he said: "The person who proposed to exterminate the Freedom Front first this time is a friend of my father, and now his situation is very passive, and some people in the Ministry of Defense say that he has close ties with the western capitalists. "My father called me last night at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and he asked me to give him an explanation, but I really couldn't think of how to convince him that there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Indeed, trade in the west began to resume after the elimination of the Freedom Front, which led many to endorse the goal of eliminating the Freedom Front and restoring stability in the west. But the reversal of public opinion immediately followed the public opinion of these people at the heart of politics to follow the public opinion, and they believed that the person who proposed the plan had a certain degree of connection with the Western Mining Association and the capitalists in the west, and launched a massacre of the Freedom Front in order to cover up the horrific news of the existence of slaves in the west.

According to the original plan, the first thing was to ensure the stability of all the cities in the west, find the people behind the attacks, and then go to eliminate the Freedom Front, which might be difficult. According to the normal rules, once the plan has been formulated, it is not allowed to change the plan at will without encountering any situation that requires the plan to be changed. Because it is the Ministry of Defense that makes the plan, if the Ministry of Defense keeps changing the plan, it can only make the grassroots military districts feel the changeability and incompetence of the Ministry of Defense.

This is a very scary situation, try not to change the plan when you can, and ensure that the order is clear and consistent, which is the standard for all to follow.

Now that guy is a little uncomfortable, it is said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs intends to investigate him, which is a very unfriendly signal, everyone knows what the Ministry of Internal Affairs does, as long as he is invited to coffee, there will be a little problem.

The guy called and complained about Henry's father, and Henry's father called and complained about Henry and asked him to explain, and now Henry threw the problem to Dorin.

Durin shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, he didn't seem to care whether he could answer the question at all, "Henry, an official of the Ministry of Defense is unlucky, will you be implicated?

Henry thought carefully for a moment and then shook his head, "I'm not sure, there shouldn't be any problems, but there may be." ”

"Very well, if you will not be implicated, then what does this matter have to do with us. They opened the champagne three days ago to celebrate this, why can't they understand that there are some other changes in this matter after three days?", before Henry could speak, Durin raised his tone and continued, "And I don't think it's a problem, judging by the results so far, it's undoubtedly good, trade is back to normal, and many industries in the empire have returned to stability, isn't it?"

"As for whether the exterminated people are slaves or not, that's a matter for the Western State Government, it's a matter for the Western Mining Association, don't worry, it's not a trouble. ”

"Essentially, the normalization of trade in the west will ensure the stability of all industries related to mining throughout the empire, and if they can't understand even these simple things, those in the cabinet can pack up and go home. ”

Henry was stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted, thinking about the entire empire, it is obvious that the importance of the stability of the empire's economic and financial order is far greater than the slaughter of a group of slaves, "You mean there will be nothing at all?"

Du Lin nodded, "It's going to be fine at all, because the West Mine Association will give everyone a black cauldron." ”
