Chapter 9 The Government Apparatus
Ten minutes later, Lauterstein's purge officially began.
Lauterstein was also waiting, he was waiting for the evidence, this bloody factual evidence before the government and the Senate. He wants to be famous.
Now, the opportunity has come, and the rebels have given the whole world a chance to turn it off. What he wants to do is to kill them all, and never give any chance to the moderates and rebels in the upper echelons.
Several well-equipped units he deployed, under the cover of armored vehicles, soon broke through to the 17th sector. His orders to his troops were to annihilate all rebel fighters, capture as many leaders as possible, and prepare for a public trial. This time, the task of the Intelligence Department was to recapture the released personnel, and the special team brought all the people from several bars in the 13th District to the Law Enforcement Department for interrogation, and the special forces led the ordinary troops to attack the 17th and 18th districts. Other blast sites were left to the discretion of the law enforcement department to be dealt with by ordinary forces. His target is the entire underground rebel headquarters,
Under the orange-yellow light, the entire dungeon was filled with gunshots, explosions, and a century of peace was shattered. The air was filled with smoke and gunpowder, the streets were filled with the sounds of wailing and shouting, citizens fled in all directions, and an atmosphere of panic and despair instantly enveloped this fragile world.
Fez was a little caught off guard by the sudden attack. He underestimated the government's responsiveness and even more so the toughness of the other side. But he quickly came to his senses, believing that his troops were still able to resist, and that he had enough chance to evacuate. A little worrying is that Bird and Ella have no personal news yet.
At this point, he quickly ignited and burned all kinds of intelligence materials around him.
The door was suddenly slammed open by a man with a bloody face, holding a gun, and he was stunned when he saw the fire in the house! He fixed his eyes and saw that it was an old horse. The old horse stumbled and said, "Captain, they have already broken through the seventeenth district, and they will be here soon!" …… I arranged the car...... Yes...... There's a hidden route, let's hurry up! ”
Fez scolded: "Panic what! It's a big deal, fight him to die! ”
Most of the important documents were thrown into the fire. Bird picked up his pistol and stood in front of the window to see the government troops in black combat uniforms slowly approaching the building, his own soldiers gradually retreating, and from time to time someone fell in the swaying bullets, and a sense of sadness slowly rose in his chest.
He turned, pulled open the drawer, and pulled out a remote control and put it in his pocket, which was the switch for a remote control bomb he had placed in the room before he had time to place.
He knew that there was no need to escape this time, and his life, the life he had fought for, would come to an end today. It dawned on him why his beloved mentor had been so cautious that he had even lost his life to fulfill the long path of resistance. His own impulses have buried the blood of all people, with the blood of people who love, care and hate all over the world.
He looked at the old horse and asked slowly, "What about Bird?" ”
The old horse stood behind the door, trembling and incoherently saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Captain...... They controlled me......" Then he raised his gun, aimed it at his head, trembled and pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", a tuft of blood mixed with brains splashed on the door, and the old horse fell straight to the ground like a rotten wooden stake.
Fez's right hand, which he didn't have time to dissuade, froze in the air, and this change made him stunned! He understood in an instant, "This son of a bitch raised ......" he muttered!
There was a rush of footsteps in the hallway at the door, and the government troops rushed in!
"Dear Ella, Bird, see you in the next life!" Fez, holding up his pistol, pointed it at the door.
A smoking thing rolled into the room, and with a "bang", Fez's blindness was instantaneous. Vaguely, a group of people burst into the room. At this time, he fumbled and pressed the remote control switch in his pocket.
The whole building shook a bit! A cloud of firelight and smoke poured out of the entire third floor, and the sky was full of glass shards and small pieces of cement sprinkled on the ground like raindrops!
In an instant, the whole world of Fez's was frozen!
District 4, Government Office Building.
The uniqueness of the construction of the dungeon lies in the continuous excavation and clever use of space for decades. After the reopening day, the world government chose the location of its office several times, but it was not able to meet the growing crowd. After many demonstrations, the government gradually made use of a large underground space about 2,000 meters above the ground, based on the unique environmental advantages of deep space, such as environmental cleanliness, sound and earthquake insulation, natural disaster resistance, no radiation, constant temperature and humidity, and slowly broke through the bottlenecks of deep atmospheric circulation, energy supply, ecological reconstruction, etc., and gradually built today's city.
Due to the solidity of the underground rock, many of the buildings on both sides of the street are built on rock, limited in height, and generally three storeys. A small number of buildings, such as important buildings such as government headquarters or resource-saving group residential areas, are built in relatively open and large spaces. For example, the cube of the 12th arrondissement has 13 floors, which serves as the residence of artisan makers. The government office building is basically located at the end of Route 2, is 10 stories high, and can only be reached after passing through the Law Enforcement Building, which should be said to be quite safe.
Due to the closed nature of the dungeons and their unique semi-military jurisdiction, the World Government is actually divided into two important departments: the Ministry of Law Enforcement and the Ministry of Resources. Among them, the law enforcement function of the law enforcement department has been separated, and most of the remaining resources department personnel work in the government building. In addition, the three departments of the Senate have permanent offices here, and most of them are members of the Senate.
Most of the entire government buildings are the location of civilian office staff.
The head of government is on duty on a rotational basis, which is rotated every three years, and Mr. Bai Mande is currently on duty.
At the age of about 60 years old, when the "Purge" war, which shocked the world, broke out, he was convening a group of experts to study and solve the problem of improving the yield of cash crops and domesticating exotic animals to provide a source of meat. Now, when the war broke out, he immediately stopped all the work at hand and arranged for the Secretariat to immediately contact and convene the Ministry of Propaganda and Law Enforcement to study and deal with the package of problems brought about by the war.
As a veteran politician, he waited for the meeting to deduce the question that the world would be different, no matter what the outcome of this war was. This question is by no means a false proposition, but a true proposition that is about to be successfully demonstrated. At the upcoming meeting, he was about to confirm his judgment, and he keenly thought that this meeting would be a serious and intense meeting, different from the gentle way of handling it in the past, and his words and deeds today would affect his future political life, and without his political life, let alone his lifelong ambitions! When you are in a meeting, you should talk less and watch more, and if necessary, take a clear stand.
The Secretariat kept feeding back the progress of the war to Badman, and waited until the Herald Yard Correy. Elder Tuckert and the Department of Law Enforcement Foster. Upon Stan's arrival, he learns that the government law enforcement fighting force has been terminated. This result was both reasonable and unexpected for him. It is reasonable that the victory of the government army is inevitable, and the rebels are not worth mentioning to the government at present, whether in terms of manpower, equipment, or even support, and he really can't think of any reason for them to rashly riot, according to the information available to the government, at least when he is the head of the current government, the rebels do not have the conditions for a full-scale riot. Unexpectedly, the Law Enforcement Department responded to the riot with agility, preparedness, and determination, and he was amazed and even a little terrified by the Law Enforcement Department's ability to execute.
In the next meeting, he will take a good look at this influential meeting!
The secretary reminded him again that the personnel had arrived and were waiting for him.
He looked at the clock, and it was twenty o'clock.
He took a deep breath and walked into the venue with a serious face. According to his request, this wartime conference was mainly attended by the heads of the Ministry of Communication, the Ministry of Resources, and the Ministry of Law Enforcement, and the House of Missions, which was the main channel of communication with the Senate and had to participate, and non-important religious activities, the Secret Guarding House and the Cultivation Institute did not participate. The Intelligence Division, the Operations Division and the Chief Commander of the Force of the Law Enforcement Department requested participation. More than a dozen participants in the meeting were already seated. When they saw Bai Mande and came in, they all stood up and signaled.
White Mande, the same as the front desk Corey. Elder Tuckert sat down next to him, looked around at the participants, and said slowly: "It happened suddenly! In the more than 100 years since the founding of the New World, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the sages of the past, a world of peace that can be seen has grown healthy and strong in the ruins under the great teachings! Still, there is a handful of extremists who disregard justice and inspire the destruction of this healthy society! I believe that you know very well what the purpose of this destruction and war action, which shocked society and was hated by good citizens, is very clear to you. ”
"This meeting came at a critical time when the government was trying to break the bottleneck of the collection and redistribution of some survival resources, and these rioters disregarded the safety of citizens and social stability, and the destructive consequences were simply devastating! Therefore, on behalf of the government, we are concerned about the loss of battle and the post-war reconstruction, and we need your voice to contribute to minimize the losses of society and restore the functioning of society to the greatest extent. ”
"I would like to ask the Department of Law Enforcement to report on the course of the fighting, to assess the results and the losses caused; Again, ask the Ministry of Resources to analyse the post-war reconstruction; Finally, please have any new insights on the spread of doctrine! ”
"Please come in order! Of course, if you have any suggestions or new insights, please ask! ”
Foster. Stan is seated in the first chair on the left side of the front desk. He is about seventy years old, with silver-white hair combed back meticulously, and a beard that is very well maintained. Unlike the elder Corey who wore a light blue flannel and gold-threaded robe, he wore a black mid-length uniform with a government yellow circle on his left chest, which looked both majestic and wise. He has been the head of the law enforcement department for more than 30 years, and he is extremely dignified in the entire department under his subordinates. According to sources, he has a greater say in the government's decision-making in certain aspects, of course, the speaker does not know, but the listener must be interested!
In this "purge" operation, as the minister of law enforcement, no one has the right to mobilize the army without his consent. This time, Lauterstein, who was in the intelligence department, gave him a detailed account of the entire plan before the operation. He did not agree or object, but only patted the plan submitted by Lauterstein in front of him, and glanced at the subordinate meaningfully. As for how Lauterstein understood it, he did not know. According to the information he has just received, he is still satisfied with the clean-up operation, although this operation has also exposed many shortcomings and shortcomings of the law enforcement forces. Of course, these shortcomings cannot be mentioned in this meeting, he just needs to know for himself.
He stood up and looked at Beard and Corey. Tuckert bowed and gestured. said: "This time, the Law Enforcement Department dispatched a total of 200 troops from the General Force, the Intelligence Force and the Special Forces, led by the Intelligence Division. So far, a total of 36 rioters (in order not to arouse the disgust of those present in terms of wording), 36 rioters (for the sake of accentuation, he did not use the name of alien), 98 people have been controlled and imprisoned, the leader of the rioters, Fez, was killed by a bullet, and the remaining two leaders are being pursued; Our side has lost 8 people and injured 30 people, and arrangements have been made for the aftermath and treatment work. ”
"The operation achieved its initial purpose, and the fighting was basically over in just two hours. The problems that have been exposed by this are what I can make a preliminary assessment at present, and I invite you to listen to them. ”
"First of all, this riot was a very immature and extremely vicious action, which can be said to be a malicious and unplanned revenge sabotage, and it fundamentally cannot shake the rock-solid foundation of the whole society, and it is inevitable that this small violent group will be wiped out. This is a good thing for us, although it has brought great sadness to the society, but I think it is only temporary, and I believe that the government will soon restore normal social order, and will consider considering giving more law enforcement powers to the Ministry of Law Enforcement to prevent similar extreme incidents from happening again. ”
"According to another piece of intelligence analysis, Bird, another leader of the rioters, is preparing to meet with people on the ground, we don't have information yet, but we have controlled all the personnel near the place where we are going to meet, and we are screening them one by one, I believe there will be results soon!"
There was a whisper in the meeting room! As you know, above the ground is an extremely harsh environment, and everyone talks about it every day, and it is a place where poisonous snakes and beasts, and non-human beings in the lawless land live. Citizens who make great mistakes every day, and would rather be sentenced to death than abandoned to the ground, is a place of horror beyond death. Therefore, it is tantamount to the shock of the intelligence department when Chelan talked about this information in the Law Enforcement Department, and the people attending the meeting today were greatly shocked!
"Silence! Quiet! "White Mande, slammed the table!
Foster. Stan continued, "This piece of information is exactly what I feared!" Due to some inconvenient reasons, some concerns of our Intelligence Department of the Law Enforcement Department are not groundless! This information must have been known to the government and the Senate, but it has not yet received your attention! I solemnly tell you that there is a force that has formed on the ground without any restraints, and if it is allowed to develop and spread underground, then our world, which has lasted for a century and a half, will slowly become a legend. ”
He looked meaningfully at the solemn White Mande and the expressionless Corey on the front desk. Elder Tuckert.
"According to our analysis, this riot has not received support from the ground for the time being, and they may not have the corresponding channels and resources to participate in the riot! We believe that the current riots may be random acts of anti-social behavior, but they may also be the tip of the iceberg of a larger conspiracy. But in any case, this will and is already testing the future direction of our government and the Senate, mildly or bindingly?"
"I share my fears with you, and may the sacred Code of the Covenant guide us and overcome them!" Foster. Stan finishes and sits down slowly.
All are silent!
