Chapter 353: The Man Behind the Pot
A moment later
The reinforcements that had arrived had taken full control of the situation, and after more than ten minutes of heavy gunfire, the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood turned Central Avenue into a bloody slaughterhouse.
Under the protection of heavy guards, Li Fushou glanced around with a blue face, raised his head and looked up at the first platform of the Victory Tower, and countless bullet holes were impressive.
Over the years
He has experienced all kinds of assassinations, poisoning, and infiltration more than 30 times, and the enemy has tried every means to assassinate him, and he has never caused such tragic consequences, which makes him really smell death.
Just to the left of the core of the motorcade, the violently exploding bombs blasted a half-meter-deep hole in the hard road, and the pieces of minced flesh mixed with masonry were shocking, and the guards from near and far lay in limbo, defending the safety of the leader with their lives and loyalty.
Seeing all this, Li Fushou's heart was deeply touched, and his tiger eyes were covered with a layer of crystal tears.
The cruelty of the struggle revealed the sharp corners of the small lotus.
The officers of the pro-guard team quickly stepped forward to report;
"Lord Earl Qiyu;
A total of 61 attackers were involved in the assassination, 53 were killed, 7 were seriously wounded, and one was taken prisoner.
37 officers and men of our personal guard were killed and 51 wounded on the spot, another 19 RCMP officers who participated in the battle were killed, more than 30 were wounded, and 11 people were killed or wounded.
The spontaneous siege of the assassins from both sides by the brave masses of righteous and courageous people has bought us precious time and has done great things.
Captain Ray ...... Captain Lei's body was no longer found, only a little was recovered. ”
Returning to this point, the officer of the Guards whimpered, his shoulders trembling violently and unable to control himself, and he carried a bloody bag in his hand, which was the wreckage and minced meat that Captain Lei could recover.
A huge grief hit Li Fushou's heart, he turned his back to the sky and tried to restrain the sadness in his heart, and commanded in a deep voice;
"Immediately send the war wounded to the hospital, order the hospital to come up with the best medicine, the best doctors to participate in the rescue of the wounded, collect the fallen soldiers and send them to the martyrs' shrine, the whole city will be closed for martial law, the suspected fugitives will be searched for, and not a single person with bad intentions will be spared."
"Yes, Lord Count."
Hearing the news, Security Commissioner Pang Xuehai and Police Commissioner Nan Huaiyu and others turned pale when they saw the tragic scene at the scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty.
Li Fushou snorted coldly with a blushing face, turned around and got into the spare carriage, and soon left under the heavy guard, leaving only two people looking at each other.
The Earl's anger at his departure frightened both of them.
Commissioner of Police Nan Huaiyu is in a better situation, as his RCMP showed great bravery in the serial assassination case, risking huge casualties to storm the first platform of the Shengli Tower on the road, and assisting the pro-guard to kill some of the assassins.
The situation of the director of security, Pang Xuehai, is terrible, internal security is the job of the security department, and the enemy hiding in the shadows calmly organizes such a huge series of assassinations, it must be a huge loophole in some aspects, and it is terrifying to think about it!
In the event of such a serious dereliction of duty, the entire security department will be subverted and purged in a seismic manner, and the relevant dereliction of duty will be severely punished.
"Lu Qiang, you kid hold it for me!" Ma Min's howl caught Nan Huaiyu's attention, and he looked over with a frown.
At this time, a police officer who knew the situation came up and introduced the situation in this way.
When he learned that these four people were the first to participate in the attack on the attackers, which led a large number of righteous and brave people to act in anger, drowning the attacking team from both sides in the crowd, Nan Huaiyu's frowning brows loosened, and he walked up to check with a solemn expression.
In the chaos, more than a dozen people were killed or wounded.
Lu Qiang is one of the unfortunate ones, after he slashed a gangster, he was shot twice in a row by a revolver bullet, one in the thigh and the other in the abdomen, especially the one in the abdomen was particularly dangerous, and his bleeding face was pale.
"Hurry up, send this gentleman to a nearby hospital for key treatment, ask them to arrange the best doctor for rescue, all the expenses are counted on the head of the police department, they are all civilian heroes." Nan Huaiyu knew at a glance that the gunshot wound was very serious, and he couldn't delay it for a long time, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to be sent to the hospital.
Lu Qiang lay on the ground weakly, holding his abdomen with his hand and smiling bitterly; "I'm too old this year, I just came out of the hospital and went in again, what kind of evil did you hit?"
"It's okay good brother, your ranch has us to take care of, your wife and children ......"
"Stop, Brother Limin, I'll take care of it myself."
"Don't forget, you owe us a table, oh...... By the way, and my two little Fuso girls, you must hold on. Ma Min endured the grief in his heart and said with tears in his eyes.
The reason why he said this was to let Lu Qiang have more thoughts, but don't really just let it go.
"Grass ......" Lu Qiang weakly spit out a word, and fainted with a tilt of his head.
This moment
Zhao Qishan, Feng Limin and Mai Guangtian couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling their hearts ache like knives.
In Australia, which is thousands of miles away from home, several people are like brothers, supporting each other all the way to the present, seeing that happy days are beckoning, who knows......
In case there are three long and two short, how can Lu Qiang's wife and children explain?
Zhao Qishan helped the police put it into the carriage and watched the carriage leave with a worried face.
The four brothers slashed into the gangsters from the rear, wielding kitchen knives and cutting down seven or eight in a row, and only Lu Qiang was unfortunately shot in the chaos, this luck was really weak.
But if you do it again, Zhao Qishan will lead his brothers to make a move, and Lord Earl is the heaven of Chinese immigrants, and it will never be okay.
"I heard from them, you used to be a veteran of the Dragoons?" Nan Huaiyu looked at this upright-looking man and asked out loud.
"Lord Seat, Xiao Min did serve in the Dragoon Guard for three years, I know that you were the captain of the Earl's guard at the time, but Xiao Min has a low rank and has no chance to meet him."
"What do you call it?"
"Xiaomin Zhao Qishan."
"Well, that's good......" Nan Huaiyu patted Zhao Qishan's shoulder vigorously, and seeing that he was not moving, he nodded with satisfaction and said; Sure enough, it is the foundation of the veteran, this time you have made a great contribution to the street rescue, our police department will be heavily praised, you can ask for anything. ”
Zhao Qishan replied solemnly; "We have no other requirements, we just hope to be able to do our best to treat our injured brother, Lord Earl is the backbone of our Chinese, supporting us Australian immigrants, even if all of us are dead, we must not let anything happen to Lord Earl."
"That's right!" Nan Huaiyu's expression became solemn, and he assured with the same solemn expression; "We will definitely arrange for the best doctors to treat your brother and do their best to save him, I can guarantee that."
"Thank you, sir, then we don't have anything else to ask for."
At this time, the sirens sounded on the central street, and a large number of military and police poured into the streets, quickly dispersed the crowd, and began to impose martial law on the entire city, and a large-scale search for criminals began.
This serial assassination incident that shocked Australia was carefully planned and deployed without leakage, causing heavy casualties and extremely serious consequences.
For a time, the Red River Valley, Brisbane and surrounding cities were under martial law, and a large number of military police and armed militia searched for criminals, checked port hotels, and almost combed several cities inside and out.
In a serial assassination case
Lawyer Smith's organization not only included white people sent from the South, but also many Chinese who were unscrupulous about their wealth, including the owner of the teahouse, the owner of the inn, the owner of the ship who provided transportation, the owner of the restaurant who provided food, and so on, all of whom were sent to the gallows.
To the west of the White Creek Bridge, 167 gallows, each with a hanged convict hanging from it, are extremely swift and deterrent.
Take this opportunity
The Red River Valley has carried out a large-scale clean-up operation, and everyone who is on the blacklist of the Public Security Department and the Black Guards is on the list of those who bully the weak and misbehave.
Even among the Chinese immigrants, not everyone is grateful to Lord Earl Queensland, there is always a small group of people who pick up a bowl to eat meat, put down the bowl to scold their mother, are willing to hold the stinky feet of white people, and are willing to be a tiger for the tiger.
Even if this kind of person is only a minority, in the face of Queensland's huge population base, the absolute number will not be small.
This is undoubtedly a source of chaos for Queensland, which is in desperate need of a voice to speak, and must be nipped in the bud.
A large number of arrested prisoners were either hanged or thrown into the hard labor camps, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with the Queensland government on a daily basis, especially some hard-line white people, and there were also some dissidents and bandits, horse bandits, petty thieves, gold mine owners who were involved in bloody crimes, and so on, a total of seven or eight thousand people.
Mainstream newspapers and periodicals such as "World Journal" and "Queensland Chronicle" reported it for the first time, and relevant European newspapers and periodicals reprinted it one after another, and its content shocked the world.
The Queensland side has already identified the mastermind behind the serial assassinations that shocked the world by the Governor's Office of the Dutch East Indies.
A basin of sewage poured down from head to toe, catching the Dutch off guard.
It is entirely a political necessity to make the Dutch the backstabber.
At present, the situation between the north and south of Australia is tense and on the verge of breaking out, and the Queensland side is making every effort to mend the rift in order to ease the contradictions between the two sides, hoping to drag on for as long as possible.
This is in the fundamental interests of Queensland and is in line with the overall situation at hand.
The wrath of the horseman, blood splattered three feet.
If the people knew the truth, the boiling volcano of Queensland would no longer be able to suppress it and erupt violently, even if Li Fushou was reluctant, the internal war with the southern states could no longer be suppressed, and sooner or later it would have to start.
And this is exactly what the southern states wanted, no matter what reason the war broke out, as long as it was not defeated at the first time, it could be dragged until the British Empire intervened and formed a splitting fact.
Therefore, the first thing Li Fushou did when he returned to the official residence of the Red Fort was to send an urgent telegram to Lord Gulliver, the Minister of the Colonial Department in London.
If the malicious actions of the southern states are not strictly restrained, the situation in Australia will inevitably collapse, and it will not be diverted by human will.
In this serious incident, the Red River Valley will exercise maximum restraint and restrain popular sentiment, but there will be no next time.
The call back from London came quickly, and the two sides tacitly agreed to put the black pot on the heads of the Dutch and let them be the backstabbers.
