Chapter 169: Escalation of the Conflict (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Green Mia)
In fact, this is not the first riot in West Bengal.
As early as May 3, 21, after the election results of West Bengal, India, large-scale riots and clashes broke out in the state, and the violence was particularly serious in at least 6 districts of the state, and the homes of about 100 political workers from both political parties were attacked and vandalized, according to the BBC, at least 17 people were killed and many injured in the clashes, which is the famous 5.3 India riot clashes.
Fatima, who served in Assam, knew the horror of the riots.
In 19 years, there was a week-long large-scale riot in her state, when the central cabinet government urgently mobilized 50,000 troops to suppress it, and the Indian Army's Eastern Command dispatched a total of 36 columns to forcibly quell the riot.
This is also the reason why the Assam government was reluctant to allow the army to intervene in the rescue because the military and civilians themselves have a holiday.
And what is in front of us is not just a civil riot conflict.
Gu Ji has an army on the side, and the local villagers have a prefectural government and police, which means that this riot will escalate into a conflict between the military and the police at any time!
The consequences of a conflict between the military and the police in any country in history are unpredictable.
This is also the reason why Gu Ji controlled Marlowe's muzzle in the first place, you must know that the nerves of the military and police on both sides are in a high degree of tension at the moment, once they hear the gunshots, if they are not careful, it may turn into a full-scale firefight.
When the time comes, these villagers will be killed or injured at least a dozen times, and their responsibility will be great!
But standing still and not resisting is not a solution.
The armed villagers in front of them all had hideous expressions, their eyes widened, their eyebrows raised one by one, their faces burst into green tendons, and they roared angrily, especially the few strong men who rushed to the front, staring at them without blinking, in the shadow of the light, with a cruel gaze full of aggression, which was terrifying.
If they were really stirred by emotion, seven or eight hundred people would pounce on them and drop them with a stick, and they would be crippled even if they did not die.
After getting along with each other a few times, Swaraj and Marlowe also saw Gu Ji's skills, so they agreed to let him take command temporarily, but for safety reasons, Marlowe still asked the soldiers to take a military tactical helmet from their equipment bags.
Gu Ji put on protection, carried a waterproof megaphone, and took the initiative to walk out from the back of the pickup.
He first spread his hands to signal that he was not threatening, then pressed the amplification button and shouted:
"Don't be nervous, I'm Vidi Dali, the disaster handling commissioner sent by His Excellency the Central Committee, we are not here to have a conflict with you, but to solve the safety hazards of the river dam, and to protect your lives and property!"
"Shit! You're a liar! ”
"That's right! Don't be deceived by his rhetoric! Get them out! ”
"Get out of here!"
In the crowd, a curly-haired Indian young man was so emotional that he scolded directly, threw out a black shadow again, and smashed it towards Gu Ji's head.
"Vidy!"
"Don't come here yet!"
Hearing Fatima get up and exclaim, Gu Ji hurriedly stopped drinking, and quickly dodged, and his sturdy figure was like a nimble leopard in the rain, covering his face and neck with his arms, and instantly avoided the falling objects.
It turned out to be a wine bottle.
Fatima and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, in the face of a group of emotional villagers, how could Gu Ji, who has always adhered to the principle of "danger plus one", not be on guard and prepared at all times.
Gu Ji quietly noted down the curly-haired young man who smashed him, and was not disrupted by this wine bottle in the slightest, but continued to shout calmly:
"Don't get excited, I know you don't want to believe me, but at least you have to believe in the cabinet, believe in the country, the Assam rescue a few days ago is the best example, I am a personal participant, you can find it in any news on the Internet, if it wasn't for the state's timely action, our entire train of people might have been drowned in the flood."
"Today, it's the same, blowing up the Faraka Dam may affect your place of residence and farming, but it will save the lives of nearly 50 million people in the five counties of the downstream governor's area, I know that you may say that the downstream towns have nothing to do with you, and there is no need to pay for strangers."
"But there is a good saying, 'In the beginning, no one cared about this disaster, it was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster was related to everyone', if one day, you become a downstream town, will you expect the people upstream to help you?"
Perhaps it was Gu Ji's calm and sincere attitude that touched the softness of humanity in the hearts of the villagers.
Gradually, the expressions of many people became less angry than before, and the arm muscles of some elderly people holding sticks also relaxed.
Fatima, Swaraj and the others were horrified when they saw it.
Although Gu Ji had been a soldier, he was also a civilian official after all, but in the face of such a confrontation between the two sides and a highly tense environment, in the face of the smashing of the villagers, instead of panicking, he could so calmly conceive such a convincing language, which was terrifyingly calm, not at all like what a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man could do.
As a matter of fact.
Gu Ji had the experience of being a negotiator in the bomb level, coupled with the experience of the World War II checkpoint and delivering the city's emergency speech on behalf of the mayor, he now deals with large-scale crisis scenes, not to mention that it is easy, at least he can command and think quickly, that line is what he temporarily thought of from "The Wandering Earth".
"A government lobbyist! Just care about what you say, it really makes you give up your home, are you willing? ”
"That's right! Don't listen to him, the central cabinet doesn't understand the difficulties of the local government at all, they will only hide behind the scenes, only our special government will care about everyone's livelihood! ”
"Don't be fooled by rumors, let's get rid of them together! Resolutely not to blow up the dam! ”
Unexpectedly, as he spoke, the direction of the wind changed again, and a government official of the prefecture was fanning the flames behind his back, and the emotions of the villagers were mobilized again, and the curly-haired young man continued to grab the stone and smash it.
Gu Ji hurriedly dodged.
This time, instead of choosing to ignore it, he immediately shouted, "Fatima! Lamplight! It's you! That curly-haired man in dark purple clothes, twice, you smashed me twice, you can not believe me, but I am standing here, not carrying any weapons to discuss with you, why do you have to attack me? Don't you know you're breaking the law? Why are you provoking state authority? Are you a vested interest in obstructing the plan? Does anyone know him? ”
As soon as Gu Ji shouted, several soldiers such as Fatima and Marlowe turned the flashlight over.
The curly-haired young man didn't expect Gu Ji to be able to lock him in so many crowds under the heavy rain, facing the bright light focused on him, and a series of questions, he couldn't answer at all, and at this moment, like a mouse, he hurriedly wanted to get into the cracks to hide.
"I don't think I've ever seen this person, do you know him?"
"I don't know either."
"Haven't seen ......"
Villagers, you ask me, I ask you, whispering, all saying that they have not seen this curly-haired young man.
Really.
This is the trust that the Midnapur Prefecture government has found, that is, with rhythm!
Gu Ji will let go of this loophole.
"Don't you understand the truth of the matter? Saying that the national cabinet government will only hide behind, please look back, who is hiding behind you now!! ”
When the last few words were shouted, many villagers woke up and reacted at once, and when they looked back, they saw that it was those government officials in suits and leather shoes and umbrellas.
Countless eyes met, and the faces of these officials immediately fell, and one of them, a fat man with a fat body and a short body, hurriedly urged the police captain beside him.
At this time, a bright light came from not far away.
When Fatima looked back, there was a series of convoys, flashing red and blue lights.
"It's the police!"
"There's a police officer coming!"
When the villagers saw the police coming, they subconsciously became nervous again, and as the assault car stopped at the foot of the mountain, the door opened, and a large number of riot policemen wearing khaki police uniforms, bulletproof vests, transparent glass riot shields, and black batons rushed out and quickly rushed to the middle of the two parties.
"Great! It is riot police support in the general administration area! ”
"Look, everyone! This is the face of the Central Cabinet Government! They are stalling for time! On the one hand, we are going to be wiped out! Blow up the dam and destroy the homeland! We fought with them!! ”
"These boars who don't chirp! Everyone fought with them! ”
"Rush! Ah——!h ”
Just as Fatima was surprised to see the support, he didn't expect that a word from the Midnapur Prefecture police would stimulate the originally good momentum even worse.
Suddenly, the villagers, under the impetus of the police, collectively pressed over angrily, swishing, countless stones and wine bottles were thrown out of the air, as if they were a rain of thousands of arrows on the ancient battlefield, if they were hit, the head would be broken and the blood would flow lightly!
"Get cover! Fast!! ”
"The anti-riot brigade of the police station in the special area of the general administration, in a strong formation of double rows of shields, ——!! forward"
Gu Ji and the captain of the riot police shouted out one after the other, and in the next second, sixty or seventy riot policemen lined up in a double horizontal formation at the same time, holding a transparent riot shield at a 45-degree angle, and they were at the forefront, while Gu Ji rolled with a running belt and quickly slid to the back of the assault car.
Countless objects fell and clanged, some fell directly into the water on the ground, some fell on the riot shield, and some fell on the front of the car, the hood was smashed out of one crater after another, the windshield was even more loud, shattered into a spider web, and the sharp tip of the stone was embedded in the broken cracks.
Countless villagers pressed in front of their shields, frantically waving their clubs and banging on them, trying to break through the blockade of the riot police.
The sound of stumbling footsteps, shouting, and the beating of sticks rang out in a ball.
The scene of a tense confrontation just now exploded like a powder keg in the blink of an eye.
"Vidi! Verity! ”
In the chaos, Gu Ji heard someone shouting to him, and when he looked back, it was Fatima running over with a middle-aged government official wearing a purple turban, "Vidi, this is the chief secretary of the West Bengal government, Ranat, who is in charge of coming over to coordinate the blasting plan of the Faraka Dam!" ”
"Mr. Vidi! When you applied to us for riot police support, I had already anticipated that there would be riots, but I had no idea that such a strong clash would erupt! Damn it! ”
The purple-turbaned Lanat gritted his teeth and rebuked.
Gu Ji glanced at the riot police formation and shook his head, "Do you carry water guns and other equipment, this person can't bear the collision of seven or eight hundred people, immediately organize a three-level emergency team, and mobilize explosion-proof police from all the police teams in nearby areas, nearby areas, and remote towns to concentrate police forces to maintain order, and in addition, transfer three more fire trucks to use water cannons to drive away villagers!" ”
"Also, Fatima, you immediately report the riot to the Central Cabinet and submit the list of all the officials involved in the Midnapur Prefecture Government, and the Cabinet intelligence system will definitely solve it, Colonel Swaraj......"
After a few words, the chief secretary Ranat was stunned, because Gu Ji told all the ideas he was conceiving in his heart, and it was more rigorous.
Fatima had cooperated with him many times, and had already obeyed his orders, and called the cabinet secretary directly.
And Gu Ji only wants to find Svaraj and Marlowe now.
Unexpectedly, Swaraj had already started to contact the Army General Staff by satellite phone, and after a call, he turned his head and looked at Gu Ji seriously, "Vidi, now that the situation has seriously escalated, the General Staff has ordered to forcibly carry out the dam blasting plan, and I have asked the pilots of Hippo No. 4 and No. 5 to fly the helicopter over." ”
"You want to be armed to suppress it? Captain! Don't do it! This will only make things worse! ”
As soon as Gu Ji heard that the other party was about to brave the risk of crashing in the heavy rain to dispatch a helicopter, he immediately remembered the two groups of "attack" anti-tank missiles hanging under the Mi-171.
Swaraj shook his head and stroked his beard.
"Vidi, you misunderstood, I didn't really want to do anything to civilians, I just sent a helicopter to scare them, otherwise with the police force of these riot police, I won't be able to stop them for long!"
"But Colonel, even if you don't do it, the police in the opposite Midnabul Prefecture don't necessarily think so, if any police officer is scared and shoots, the situation will develop to the point of no return!"
"With all due respect, Vidi, now that the situation is out of control, I must consider the safety of the soldiers under my command, as well as the materials and explosives of the military region, the order has been issued and cannot be changed!!"
Swaraj was very tough this time.
After all, the other party belongs to the army system, not to mention that he is just an Assam government official, that is, the central cabinet, and no one has the right to govern the army except for those with the highest power.
Just when the dispute between the two sides was at its most intense.
Dada......
I just saw it, thanks to the alliance leader of the green mia boss, the two days of the New Year are too busy, I will make up for it when I find an opportunity!
