Chapter 10 Mass demonstrations
July 26, 2070 at 10 a.m. – Earth Singapore – The Lion City training camp time flies by like water, and it's the end of July in the blink of an eye. Over the course of more than a month, many of the trainees had undergone almost abusive training, exhausted physically and mentally, and all of them were full of complaints. Considering that continuing the training might cause resistance among the soldiers, the battalion headquarters issued an order for the entire battalion to rest for two days and let the trainees have a good rest.
Squad 77 barracks ...... "Ouch! Watts, you light, it hurts—" James was lying on the bed with a bruise on his back, and Watts was drugged him. But Watts was careless, and the drug was like stabbing a giant wolf, which made James scream incessantly. "Alright, Watts, let me do it, if you continue like this, James will die of pain." "Okay, here you go." Handing the medicine bottle in his hand to Mark, Watts, who was already impatient, left the barracks and went directly to the school grounds. "James, the giant tiger didn't take a light shot, right?" "Needless to say, the armor was all sunken. If Lao Liu hadn't stabbed the beast in the back of the head and killed it, I guess I would have to confess there. "Hehe, you kid has a big life." "That is, how could I, Jems, die like this? I haven't been to the battlefield yet. Hiss - pain pain pain! Mark, you light! ”
Just when everyone was comfortably enjoying this rare leisure time, the public address system of the training camp suddenly sounded the whistle of an emergency assembly. "Damn, this is the time to make an emergency gathering." "Wear the armor quickly, you'll be miserable if you're late." The battle armor was placed next to the bed, and everyone put on the armor and rushed out of the barracks as quickly as possible. Seeing that James was still there slowly putting on the armor, Mark urged, "James, hurry up! James gritted his teeth and said, "It hurts!" "The whistle for the emergency assembly is getting more and more urgent, and I can't take care of it anymore." Let's numb your back with an anesthetic for the time being. "Then you can give me a shot." "Okay." Picking up a dose of anesthetic next to James' bedside, Mark pricked a needle into James' back. "Let's go." The two of them rushed out of the barracks and ran towards the school grounds.
"Soldiers, we have just received news that a terrorist force has successfully incited many civilians to march in the square in front of the government building. But the civilians did not know that the group of terrorists had planted time bombs in the square and were constantly breaking through the checkpoints set up by the police and converging towards the square. This is a terrorist plot to frame the government, and we must crush it. It takes time for the police to defuse the bomb, but the civilians won't give them time, so that time has to be earned by us. All of them, grab the blast shields under your feet and head to the city to stop the demonstrators from moving on! More than 1,000 soldiers shouted in a very neat voice: "Battalion commander, don't worry! Mission completion guaranteed! The battalion commander nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
The main road leading to Government Square "Protest against the government's cuts in relief payments for unemployed workers!" "Protest against the government's transfer of state-owned enterprises to private individuals at a low price!" "Li Zhengfan's government is stepping down!" All kinds of protest slogans are endless, and Singapore, which was once quiet and peaceful, is now surrounded by chickens and dogs. The crowd of demonstrators was mainly concentrated on the main roads of the city, with more than 600,000 people, and the more than 10,000 police officers deployed by the Singapore government in the city could not stop the huge crowd of demonstrators. The government also did not dare to send in the army, which would be perceived as a force of repression, and the opposition would then be able to hype it up again.
"Sir, the crowd of demonstrators is too fierce to stop." Looking at the young police officer who had only recently joined the police force, the squadron leader said lightly: "If you can't stop it, you won't stop it?" We are the police, the policemen who maintain social order! In any case, we can't let them pass easily, that's our duty now! Resisted it for me! "Yes!" The police lined up and waited for plastic surgery, and the front line of defense was broken through again, and a large number of riot police who had been dispersed rushed all the way to join this line of defense. The commander of the line of defense just now walked up to the commander of the line of defense and said, "The crowd is too fierce, and it can't be stopped at all!" "I know." "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" "It will take at least 20 minutes to come from the southern district, and we can't count on them for the time being, so we have to try to hold off the demonstrators and buy time for the bomb disposal team." "The crowd is coming!" "Resist with an explosion-proof shield!" Under the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of people, this line of defense also quickly collapsed, many police officers were squeezed to the side of the road, and the unlucky ones were caught in the crowd to continue on their way, and only a small number withdrew to join the next line of defense.
At the intersection of the main road leading to the square, dozens of fire trucks and hundreds of police officers stood by as the last line of defense to protect the bomb disposal team, and the demonstrators must no longer be allowed to pass. "Director, why don't you use tear gas?" "This is not a violent demonstration, and we cannot use tear gas in violation of the law." "But" "The crowd is coming! The director shook his head helplessly and said, "High-pressure water cannon preparation." "Yes." In the crowd of demonstrators, a young man with a multicolored cockscomb head and pierced ears shouted in a completely gangster appearance: "Compatriots! There are still 100 meters to go before we can enter the Freedom Liberation Square, rush! "Rush!" At the instigation of the young man, the crowd, which had been moving slowly, ran straight up and rushed to the last line of defense of the police. "High-pressure water cannon spraying." "Poof-" Dozens of high-pressure water cannons sprayed at the same time, knocking the crowd at the front to the ground. But people kept coming up, arm-in-arm in a row, one person was sprayed down by a high-pressure water gun, and the other two would pull him up at the first time, and then move on.
"Director, you can't spray anymore, it will hurt people if you spray it again!" "I know, let the fire brigade turn off the water cannon, and all the officers go up together to block the crowd!" "Yes!" All the police, including the police chief, lined up at the intersection, ready to block the crowd that was attacking. The propaganda van, which had been ignored, was still making its last efforts, and the announcer kept explaining through the loudspeaker on the roof of the car why it was blocking the crowd of demonstrators, hoping that the crowd would wait for the bomb disposal team to defuse the bomb before entering the square. "Rush!" "Rush into the square!" The demonstrators, who had already fallen into a frenzy, ignored the explanations of the police propaganda vehicle and rushed straight towards the last line of defense of the police. "Hold on!" "Knock-" The crowd slammed into the police's wall, some of the demonstrators who rushed to the front were squeezed to death on the police's blast shields, and most of the demonstrators who were not squeezed to death were knocked to the ground and trampled to death by the crowd that followed. "Hold on!" Although the police tried their best to stop them, the crowd's onslaught was so fierce that after holding out for two minutes, the last line of defense of the police was also broken up. "Rush!" The fanatical demonstrators rushed into the square from the main road, and the police on duty in the square could not stop it, and the demonstrators quickly approached the center of the square.
On a skyscraper on the west side of the square, a man in a black suit leisurely admires it all through a telescope. "Haha, okay, okay, now I'll see how the government explains! Hahahaha...... A masked man standing next to him said in an extremely dry voice that could no longer be heard: "We have done what we promised you, and I hope you can fulfill your promise." "Of course, huh? That's the army?! "What?!"
More than 1,000 trainees marched into the square at this last moment, and built a steel defense line in front of the center of the square. "All of them, move forward, try to keep the demonstrators away from the bomb disposal team in the center of the square." "Yes!" Two rows of trainees lined up in a "one" formation marched forward with neat steps and met the huge crowd. Twenty meters from the demonstrators, the battalion commander gave the order: "Shield!" "More than 1,000 explosion-proof shields, 220 centimeters high and 110 centimeters wide, smashed into the ground in unison, and the spikes at the bottom of the shields pierced deep into the marble-paved square." The armor power is fully turned on, and it can withstand the crowd! "Drink-" "Knock-" A loud crash sounded on the outside of the blast shield, and through the observation system, Mark saw the bloody scene and almost threw it up. "Everyone turns off the observation system and uses the regular field of view." Considering the limited endurance of the recruits, the battalion commander took the initiative to issue this order, so as not to make it unbearable for some training soldiers. Although there were more than one million demonstrators, there was nothing they could do in the face of the steel defense line built by many trained soldiers, so they had no choice but to stop. At this time, the police propaganda through the radio system was much better, and a large number of demonstrators woke up from their frenzy and began to accept persuasion to evacuate.
"Dead! Dead! Just then, one of the demonstrators found a body at his feet and cried out in horror. The demonstrators discovered that many of their companions were either missing or attached to blast shields directly in front of them. Many of the demonstrators, who had previously fallen into a state of frenzy and did not know the fear, now came to their senses, and after a while, many of the demonstrators fled quickly, lest they themselves be swept into it when they advanced again. "Ambulance, call an ambulance!" At the scene, the police quickly contacted the hospital, and they were able to save one by one. The commanders of the on-site general command had just breathed a sigh of relief when worse news reached the command. "Sir, there is a group of rioters who have taken advantage of the fact that the police force is concentrated on the main road, and the police force in other areas is insufficient. "Damn, who the hell did that?"
