Chapter 496: Gunshots rang out
The city of Shengsia is a typical southern continent style city, and it is also the third largest city in the country of Gaishan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, but unfortunately this tourist city is now in chaos, and the government army and those terrorists are facing off.
"Colonel Zhou, this is body armor, you can put it on. ”
The turmoil came very suddenly, as rebels from neighboring countries suddenly crossed the border and raided the city of Saintcia, taking thousands of imperial expatriates hostage and taking control of half of the city.
They offered to release half of the old and weak women and children first, on the premise that the Great Liang Empire must send someone to communicate with them.
Ordinary politicians can't believe it, and they specify that they want Zhou Huan to be the middleman.
This is really sitting at home and disaster fell from the sky, Zhou Huan sobbed angrily when he heard the news.
Over the years, he has rested and recuperated, not interfering in politics, and in Bai Feifei's confusion, he continues to live a leisurely life, because he really doesn't want to interfere.
The times create heroes, at the end of the dynasty, a pavilion chief, a small landlord, can easily pull up an army of more than 100,000, but in the heyday of the dynasty, whoever wants to come out is a dead end.
When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.
Why did the Blue Dragon Society disband thirty years ago? Because at that time, continuing to uphold the purpose of global unity was tantamount to seeking fish from a tree, and when ordinary people felt that there was hope in life, and felt that they could work hard and get ahead, any behavior that wanted to destroy the status quo would be killed.
No matter how good your intentions, how powerful, and you are right.
Therefore, when the empire and the alliance changed dynasties seventy years ago, they did not agree with Zhou Huan's proposition, and Zhou Huan did not forcibly promote it, anyway, history will prove that he is right, although it will pay a lot of price.
For example, a world war, such as a nuclear war, such as a global recession, but ...... It's the choice of the Azure Star people, isn't it?
In the past, Zhou Huan asked those small countries whether they were willing to become members of the empire or alliance, and they wanted to do their best to push back and block, and asked the people of the empire if they were willing to open up their territories, and everyone replied that they didn't want war, and it was not better to live their own affairs well (the foreign war in the past ten years was too deeply injured).
It was not Chen Yunying and Tang Yue who chose to reject Zhou Huan, but the times, and it was the people who rejected Zhou Huan's proposal.
Chen Yunying, Tang Yueyue and others are responsible for their subordinates and supporters, when everyone can see the peaceful years in the next few decades, and the upcoming golden age, why should they listen to Zhou Huan's radical strategy?
From the feudal era to the capital era, everyone sees a thriving life, so it's good to live your own life, just like the argument between Zhou Huan and the system back then.
"Alas...... Such a good city is tossed like this. ”
On the armored car, some people sighed like this, the construction of Shengcia City is not much worse than the second-tier cities of the empire, whether it is high-rise buildings or local style buildings, it is the result of the accumulation of the people here for decades, and tens of billions of funds have been invested in it to build this beautiful homeland, but now, the accumulation of countless people's lives will come to naught.
Zhou Huan looked at these, but remembered the conversation with Helen and molasses back then.
In the later stages of the girl's rule, she has already felt some crises, especially the wanton behavior of capital, which is encroaching on the entire country step by step, when she is there, she can restrict those people through personal authority and various decrees, but what about after she leaves?
"Don't think about it, I won't take action, and I don't agree with a big purge to make the world a better place, what you see is a crisis, and what the people see is that you are old-fashioned, dogmatic and even unable to keep up with the situation, and spend a lot of money in irrelevant places, and even angrily denounce quality education and other very incorrect behaviors, why are you thankless?"
At that time, the empire and alliance established by Zhou Huan and his successors were in full swing, the glory of the empire shone on the entire planet, and the people cheered to the golden age, from the Black Continent to the Southern Continent, from the Five Oceans to the Five Great States, the empire became the beacon of the times.
However, the shadow behind the sun followed.
Once a new leader comes to power, it will inevitably be a carnival, the more things that negate the old antiques, the more the successors get, and every decree to maintain the empire is abolished, it will create countless upstarts, and ordinary people will cheer instead, just like quality education, just like giving children more burdens, the people will be coerced and deceived and even cheered to smash the legal chains, step by step to turn themselves into slaves.
"But what about our country, our alliance?"
The higher the person stands, the farther he can see, those days were extremely depressed times for the girls, what Zhou Huan said was verified again and again, and the things they wanted to avoid happened one by one.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Zhou Huan said so, without a trace of temperature in his eyes.
Because of the cold gun encountered on the road, the armored car came to the door of the press conference half an hour later than the scheduled time, when Zhou Huan walked down, the bright flashing lights kept flashing, and the reporters waiting here were eager to stuff the microphone into Zhou Huan's mouth, after the hostage incident, it quickly shocked the world, no organization dared to take so many hostages of the two empires on such a large scale at one time!
In total, more than 1,700 people were taken hostage, and the terrorists offered to kill all of them if they did not agree, and they even controlled half of the city, and no matter what the imperial government did, the final outcome would not be very good.
"Mr. Zhou Huan, why did the terrorists choose you as an intermediary?"
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about your mission, are you afraid?"
"Mr. Zhou, why didn't you refuse this request, have you ever thought about what to do if you have an accident?"
The high-definition camera faithfully broadcasts the scene of the scene, in this era of entertainment to death, any sudden major event is a carnival day for the news media, one by one sharp questions have been raised, and one by one reporters follow Zhou Huan desperately.
This is Zhou Huan, this year's man of the year, the richest man in the world (once on the surface), a big star with countless fans.
"Watch the video!"
Someone said this suddenly, pointing to a TV screen not far away.
A man is pushed to the camera, and a terrorist holds a gun to the back of his head.
"According to our agreement, Zhou Huan should come to us now, I don't want to listen to the excuse of traffic jams or anything, this is our determination. ”
Bah, gunshots rang out.
