Chapter 72: Conspiracy on the Great Lawn
In the current turbulent or chaotic era, that is, in a city like Chicago that is under the control of an iron fist, there is still a possibility of barely maintaining order.
In order to show loyalty to the party bigwigs, Daley not only happily accepted the task, but also vowed to make this congress a united and victorious congress, so that the Republican Party can see how the Democratic Party does things!
In addition, if the congress can be solemn and orderly, it will be tantamount to making a living advertisement for the general election in more than two months.
A full 15,000 National Guard troops are stationed in Chicago (which can be seen from the side of how large his influence in Illinois is, using taxpayers' tax dollars to escort Democratic rallies, and the state legislatures with the power to approve and refute do not let a single fart on this, obediently give the green light), plus 5,000 police officers, and the population of this city is only 200w.
By the way, it is said that there are even 5,000 troops deployed on the outskirts of the city, ready to provide reinforcements.
(PS, the deployment of the Federal Army, I did not find exact information, only some memoirs mentioned it.) Common sense is unlikely, because the army cannot be mobilized, especially at home, unless the president declares a state of emergency. But the most difficult thing to say about the affairs of the United States is that there are many legal provisions, and it is not impossible to find the applicable provisions from some of the laws of the early 19th century. )
Mayor Daley, who is of Irish descent, has always been ruthless, and there really is no "safer" place for the Democrats than Chicago in the country.
IN THE FACE OF THE LAYERS OF MILITARY AND POLICE PERSONNEL, EVEN THE HOST OF A FAKE NEWS NEWS PROGRAM SARCASTICALLY SAID: "THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY REPRESENTING FREEDOM ****** IS REALLY EYE-OPENING IN A POLICE STATE." ”
However, in the face of the military and police who were on standby, this group of leftist demonstrators rushed forward without fear.
The police system in the United States is more interesting, and its salary is paid by the local government, so he has no feelings for the federal government, but he is particularly loyal to the head of the local government, after all, it is the uncle who gives the money.
The attorney general, who is also nominally the supreme governor, is actually useless, and unless the president declares a state of emergency in a certain area, the police will always listen to local officials.
Daley feeds the police to the full, and he also turns a blind eye to the bad atmosphere of some police forces, and under such a clear salary and secret "welfare" greeting, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chicago police are Dai Jiajun.
In the face of the demonstrators, the police really lived up to the mayor's trust and fully demonstrated their excellent professional skills and qualities, first with a round of tear gas, then with gas masks, pulling out batons two feet long and one and a half inches thick, and rushing towards the unarmed crowd of men and women!
Tiger into the flock!
Invincible!
All of this was captured on camera, and the Chicago Police Force once again showed amazing initiative.
At the sound of an order, a team of police officers was dispatched to attack reporters, so the cameras were smashed, the film was exposed, and many reporters were also smashed to the head and bled out.
But at this time, none of the Western reporters ran, even if they could usually run fast, but they were more determined to record this atrocity and then spread it to the whole country and even the world!
"Daly Bulldozer" became synonymous with the Chicago Police Force.
……
Although the tear gas smoke in the picture is filled, the two still see Hansen Smith very clearly.
This guy, who has always been giggling, was kneeling on the side of the road at the moment with his bleeding head in his hands, and was immediately handcuffed by the police.
The wound was unblocked, and the blood was almost gushing out, and soon most of the face could not be seen clearly.
"It's a crime!" Edward yelled "Murder! Murder! Didn't even help him stop the bleeding!! OMG! They're still human! Oh my God, it's a crime, it's a crime. ”
"Hansen is just a second-rate person, he doesn't steal or rob, how can he be !! to him like this"
"Forgive these sinners, O my God." Chris also started to make crosses.
Hansen's temperament is not very likable, but after a long period of contact, he found that he is actually quite okay.
Although all kinds of tricks on his mouth are unreliable, the work assigned to him never pulls his crotch, and every time he is overdone.
Usually a little greedy for money, but most of them take the money and pull their hands to have fun, rarely kick in their pockets, and some of the disadvantages are that they like to eat and drink "medicine" and rub guns, but for a poor ghost with a student loan, it doesn't seem to be a big sin to rub food.
"Medicine", let's put it that way. Hansen had previously announced his mailing address and bank account number to Quanmi to receive revolutionary support from all over the country, but the money was not received much, but DMT, Moscarin, LSD, Metydrine, and Mary Jane (another name for Big M) collected a lot of them piecemeal, and addicts across the country were supporting the revolutionary cause of Yale students in their own way. Hansen was also not corrupt, and sent the parcel after receiving it, which caused him to often run out of food, and he had to be cheeky enough to drill into other people's tents, which was technically considered a virtue.
As for the cannon, the girls didn't say anything, and the others just shut up, and the more they talked, the more they would be treated as a single negative dog's wail, and Edward knew this very well, so he never asked too much.
"What should I do?" Chris asked, "Can't go on like this!" ”
"I must take care of it!" Edward was in a hurry, "What the hell is this idiot thinking, does he want to mess around under George Duffy!?" ”
"Now is not the time to say this! We're going to Chicago right away and get him out. ”
"Hmm" Edward patted his head and grabbed the phone.
"Hi Megan, it's me. Listen to me, my dear, you have to help me, you see what happened in Chicago, my friend is in trouble. Yes, you know, that guy Hansen, who was beaten to the head! He was also handcuffed, presumably inside. ”
"Yes, yes, it's that guy, squinting at you! What??! FXXK, damn the bastard! Uh, no, no, can't leave him alone! OK, I'm begging, get your colleague in Chicago to go to the police station, get him out, and buy him a plane ticket back to New York! ”
"Okay, okay, yes, I understand, I owe you, uh...... Okay, five times, no problem! Big deal, I went to Chinatown to buy Tiger Whip Deer Antler Wine. What you are an animal protectionist! Damn it, you're going to kill me! I didn't have a drop yesterday, you, you...... OK, no kidding, hang up first. ”
……
At noon the next day, Hansen, with gauze wrapped around his head, and his loyal follower, Carl Wright, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, arrived at the temporary office with their heads wilted.
As soon as he entered the door, Edward coughed: "You haven't taken a shower in a few days, my God, or did you just wrestle with a litter of skunks?" ”
The smell of these two people is indescribable, and Chris, who has always been silent, can't help but complain: "The smell of blood, the smell of gas, the smell of sweat, and the inexplicable smell...... Throw you to Vietnam, and Charlie should flee. ”
"Okay, okay, don't say anything yet, I'll find you a few of my clothes, make do with them, take a shower, throw all these on your body, and go to the bad luck ......"
"Bad luck?" Hansen was stunned
"You have a lot to do, this is the term for exorcism of oriental warlocks, in short, after throwing it away, you will be transferred. By the way, Hansen, your head is important, don't touch the water, it's going to get inflamed, hey, Carl, why don't you go to the bathroom together, you can help him! ”
"Okay!" Carl excitedly agreed
"No, no, I can do it myself, Carl, you can go to another bathroom......" Hansen hurriedly ran into the bathroom, only to hear a "click", and the door was locked from the inside.
"He still doesn't want to accept me, this time I went to Chicago, and I was the only one who rushed to the front with him......" Carl Wright felt like he was about to cry.
Only then did Edward remember that this man's sexuality seemed to be a little bit wrong, and it was no wonder that Hansen wanted to hide.
But listening to what he said just now, this time among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, only Carl is the only one to follow, what about the other three?
It turns out that these five people always go in and out together, why are they only two today?
Chris also felt that the situation was wrong, the two looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on at the bottom, so they had to sit and wait for the owner to come out.
Moments later, Hansen and Carl were munching on cold fried chicken and pizza on the couch in Edward's T-shirts and shorts.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two slow down, slow down. It's not a cafeteria, there's no time limit, slow down, slow down. Hey, hey, hey...... There's bones in the fried chicken, and if it gets stuck in your throat, you're going to have to call 911. Or milk? ”
Hansen choked and rolled his eyes, but kept filling his mouth with something.
Chris had no choice but to pick up the phone and order two more 12-inch pizzas, specifically indicating that they asked for double cheese.
"Hey, talk, I don't know you thought you got out of a Vietnamese cell instead of flying from Chicago to New York, damn it, tell me, what the hell is going on?! Especially you! Hanson Smith, are you crazy? Running to Chicago to participate in a demonstration, isn't that a slap in the face to George Duffy? Do you want a future! ”
"Bah" Hansen viciously threw the chicken bone in his hand to the ground, and rubbed his oily hands on the T-shirt twice.
"Damn, this is my new purchase, and I haven't come to wear it yet!" Edward was in a state of rage.
In the past, Hansen would have apologized with a hippie smile, but now he didn't answer the topic at all, but yelled angrily: "George Duffy, that bastard!" Play me! ”
“??? What's going on?? ”
Hansen scolded and explained that since he left Edward and joined George Duffy, he originally expected to live a good life for a few days, but at the beginning, the owner was really powerful, and arranged a part-time job for him, so he didn't have to go to work and just get money, and he usually didn't do a detailed review of his reimbursement, and gave money directly.
The four horsemen of the Apocalypse under their command also have their own benefits, and the atmosphere is united and harmonious for a while.
But gradually things are not right.
The "revolutionaries" on the lawn were small loose groups, each with their own leader, that is, Hansen's strong communicative skills, which became a nominal leader, or convener.
A lot of things are discussed by everyone, and when there are different opinions, it depends on Hansen's personal charm and eloquence, and everyone is usually happy, and of course this has to do with the fact that the leaders of several groups are tanks.
"You guys are really fxxk democracy, huh? In a civilized, liberal and democratic country, it is full of the tribal style of the early Germanic barbarians, and the spirit of the Kuritai Assembly of the Black Tartars......" Edward couldn't help but complain.
After a while, he found that many small groups didn't listen to the command very much, and at first Hansen didn't care, anyway, everyone was a friendship with Y and Ox, and it was nothing to turn their faces occasionally.
Later, however, one of the four knights left him to set up another mountain, and Hansen remembered the advice Edward had given him at that time, to prevent the other party from mixing sand and pulling away the men.
Hansen was vigilant enough at first, but after a long time he relaxed, and with George Duffy giving money and being polite to people, Edward's warning was quickly put behind him.
George Duffy certainly doesn't look down on these students, but he has the need to expand his own people, or George Duffy is simply embarrassed to come forward himself, and instructs Ma Tare to pull people.
After all, they are all Yale students, the traditional elite echelon.
Hansen is not good at stubble, he stumbles on each other openly and secretly, and he uses it for immortals to jump or something.
But he forgets that George Duffy is a prominent Yale alumnus, and soon Hansen receives a secret warning from the school: Don't get into trouble.
Before, when Hansen stepped on the giant wheel of the times and rolled in from a distance, the trustees and professors immediately lay down obediently, calmly crushed, and then rolled over and got up, patting the dust on their suits, as if there was no one.
After all, they are the backbone of the United States, and the broad and deep roots are far beyond the reach of Hansen and his ilk.
