0209 Free Will
"I heard your side is out of control, too. ”
On the phone, the governor's voice had some hint of ridicule, in fact, the police strike was not expected by them, and they were ready for a police strike even some time ago.
The truth is actually very simple, people are not in trouble, they will never take other people's warnings seriously.
Even if Mr. President's reputation in the Union is a bit bad now, as long as the social foundation is stable, all this can be regarded as a political overthrow.
No matter how ruthless the people preach, as long as the basic order can be guaranteed, ordinary people can only see the street outside the door and what is happening on the street, and they cannot see or care about what is happening further away.
Even the denigration of Mr. President may inspire some people to sympathize with him, and perhaps raise some other problems.
At the same time, this is also to break the current backwater situation of the Federation, so that the people have the pain of being cut by a knife and dripping with blood, only then will they understand that what they respected in the past has no value for this country.
They will open their eyes in pain, the comfort they pretend to be asleep will fade, they will have to open their eyes to reality, and there is nothing more than the contrast between chaos and the rule of law, and they will understand that there are things that are the responsibility not only of politicians, but also of the public.
This sentence seems a bit ...... Officialization, in fact, is the most real side, because if politicians want to gain people's support, they must first cater to the wishes of the majority.
The existence of isolationism, including isolationism, is also essentially to cater to the population, and when people begin to pay attention to wars abroad, when they are horrified by the large number of young people dying on the front lines, they begin to have a deep fear.
Will his own child be sent to the front because of the war, will he be the same cold number in the cold newspaper as those soldiers?
Families will die, homes will be destroyed by artillery fire, and entire countries will be in ...... danger.
This fatal possibility of a future has led to a fear of war, and isolationism has emerged to cater to the dominant view of this society.
If we want to fix some ideas now, we will inevitably break something.
If the police do not strike, there will be no frightening unrest in society.
If the police do not strike, the militia and the army will not be able to make people feel that "war" sometimes does not mean casualties and destruction, but also protection and rebirth.
In fact, behind isolationism, there is a pathology, indifference and even hostility towards war and soldiers.
After the Progressive Party decided to replace the Conservative Party in the federal government, it has made great strides to develop international relations, and the vice president of the Progressive Party has quietly traveled abroad to discuss with some countries the issue of mutual assistance and reciprocity in the international arena.
Once a few issues had been resolved, they decided to send troops.
Of course, this is not for the sake of war, they should show their value and ability as a matter of course when they join a faction.
In some areas where there is still local friction after the war, or where military control is required, there is still a large shortage of personnel.
It is said that the whole world cheered when the armistice was signed, but soon people stopped talking about the war that was not even blown away by the wind, let alone about the things that are still happening today.
A large number of people demanded that the remaining soldiers of the army be disbanded and discharged, and the army could not recruit new soldiers, and they were of course more reluctant to have those soldiers stationed in areas of great risk, but someone had to do something.
The Federation can take on this role very well, sending troops overseas has become a foregone conclusion, and the next thing is to let people feel this atmosphere, war is not only about destruction, but also benevolence and love!
In the face of the governor's ridicule, the mayor of Sabine sighed, "The situation is a long way from what I thought, and I thought these problems would not erupt until next month." ”
The governor comforted him a few words, "During this time, you should pay attention to your own safety, and it will only be launched on November 25 at the latest, and there are more than ten days, I believe you can survive." ”
He walked over to the TV, turned it on, and after watching it casually for a while, the local TV station in the city of Sabin suddenly interjected a message, and the frenzy and excitement on the host's face contrasted sharply with the coldness of the mayor's face.
If these media people can report a particularly big news, they are likely to "go down in history" because of the news.
People will save the history by saving the video or taking a screenshot of the video, so they are fanatical, they are surprised, and they don't even think the news is exciting enough.
Through television, the mayor and many more of the upper echelons of Sabine learned about what was going on.
In the evening, the chief of the police station, at the request of the mayor, organized the officers to talk to the initiators of the demonstrations, perhaps because the continuous high-intensity work caused some of the officers to use excessive words.
This is the official statement, in fact, the police officers do not know how to use civilized language, and they have not been very civilized.
The clash soon ensued, and then the situation spiraled out of control, and some workers surrounded the three police officers who had gone to persuade them, some of whom even raised their guns.
It was also at this time that the police suddenly announced that they were also on strike in order to protect themselves, and they would not do it anymore, and whoever wanted to do it would do it.
The three officers immediately inspired most of the officers by announcing that they had gone on strike to protect themselves, and they were able to get out of their difficult jobs and join the strike march.
The brief lull was followed by a carnival of the crowd, the kind of occupation that represented the ruling power of the rulers also went on strike, and made people think that their cause was right, their methods were right, and their future was bright.
After turning off the TV, the mayor shook his head, walked to the window, looked through some gun-wielding security guards in the courtyard, and looked out the window at the faintly lit sky in the direction of the city center, he knew that it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Probably due to the impact of the police strike, the march that had ended during the day began again, and people spontaneously took to the streets after dinner, carrying some policemen's wide-brimmed hats and police uniforms with sticks and the like.
The badge was strung with a rope and dragged along the ground, trampled on.
The darkness of the night seemed to induce the meanest desires in the hearts of the people, and the streets became more and more dangerous, and the nature of the parade changed when a few young men rushed out of the crowd, smashed the shops on the side of the road and snatched something.
More and more shops are being smashed, countless goods are being looted, and those people are still invigorating, these are the price of exploitation and oppression at will!
Lo and behold, the city has fallen into a sea of people's free consciousness!
The next day, the mayor gave a speech on television, and now he was afraid to go even in public, knowing full well that under the excitement of the crowd, if one did something impulsive, everything would be over.
He warned the citizens that those who smashed and looted the goods in the shops would go to the police station as soon as possible with their belongings and turn themselves in, and also urged the initiators and organizers of the demonstrations to try their best to appease the strike groups.
But these arguments were taken as a sign of weakness, and in the afternoon the militant group of the striking crowd announced the seizure of the Sabine police station.
They used some paint to make a mess of the reasonably aesthetically pleasing Sabine District Police Station, and some even pulled a piece of ...... on the roof.
On this day, the Sabine City Hall announced to the public that in view of the current social security situation, they will stop distributing food and supply vouchers, and close all stations that redeem these vouchers.
At the same time, the town hall warned those who had done something wrong in the strike game, urging them to turn themselves in to the police or the court as soon as possible to seek relief from their guilt - the court was mentioned because the police station is basically shut down at the moment, and even if they go to the police station, there is nothing they can do.
The "incompetence" of the city hall and mayor of Sabin was seen as weakness by those who had already begun to go crazy, but there were also those who began to worry.
For the next few days, the chaos continued, but there were fewer people on the streets.
Except for those who robbed everywhere to fill their stomachs, most of the ordinary residents have already begun to go hungry.
"Hunger won't solve these problems......"
Standing on the upper floor of a building, Lynch could see through the window columns of smoke burning in the heart of the city in the distance, which had been so quiet not so long ago.
Maybe some of the unemployed people make it look a bit depressed, but at least it's safe.
In just a few days, the situation has taken a rapid turn.
Behind him, in the splendid rooms decorated with well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, standing or sitting, the tables around them were filled with all sorts of fine food, and all sorts of fine drinks.
On one side against the wall, there is also a band playing soothing music for everyone.
The speaker was the organizer of the gathering, a wealthy local businessman, with a straight face and angry eyes.
"Our mayor is too weak and I think we should fight back and crush these thugs from the front. He paused and held out a finger, "Mind you, gentlemen, I use the term 'thugs' to refer to these people. ”
"Their actions are actually more terrible and destructive than the mobs, and I believe that the interests of everyone here have been harmed to some extent, but so far our city has not come up with an effective solution, he will only appeal. ”
As he spoke, a touch of unhappiness appeared on the corner of the gentleman's mouth, with a shallow smile that was sarcastic, "No one can help us, only ourselves!"
"I consulted with a lawyer, and when those thugs smashed open the doors of our stores, stormed our stores, and seized our wealth, even if we shot them, it was legal!"
His voice grew louder and louder, "This is the federal charter that redunds our sacred power!"
