"Is there no other way? You know that we have worked together for so many years. Do you want to watch with your own eyes the Kadima Party and I fall into the abyss because of some differences in our ideas?" Memnon was still doing his final words. To save the situation, he was unwilling to let everything turn out like this. "Both of us will take a step back for three years. If I can't do what I said after three years, if I can't bring some changes to the West, I will take the initiative to resign."
"That night thirteen years, nine months and twenty-two days ago, you also assured everyone with such certainty that we would succeed and turn the world into what we ideally wanted. But you failed, Memnon , you left more than 7,000 brave warriors and ran away with the people, and I actually left that battlefield in shame. Now that I think about it, I really should have died there, so don’t use sweet words to deceive me, I won’t. I don’t believe you anymore”
Thirteen years ago, Memnon led a group of young people with ideals and enthusiasm to launch an armed revolution in the west. They successfully captured seven cities in three days. Then Memnon asked to concentrate his superior forces and take the initiative to attack the cities stationed in the city. The Imperial Army at the Western Army Base, and vowed to ensure that the other party might not even know that they had left the city for their home base. As long as they can secure the army base, Memnon dares to say that he will definitely be able to completely secure the west. Countless weapons and resource supplies are enough to support their separatist rule in the west and create a confrontation with the empire.
The ideal was very full, and Memnon found countless reasons to support his arguments. In addition, the surprise attack-style armed uprising captured seven cities, which brought Memnon extremely high personal prestige. Against all opinions, he decided the pace of the next war, and finally left more than 7,000 brave soldiers forever in the Gobi Desert outside the Imperial Army Base.
Memnon's idea at that time was that after the seven cities in the west had fallen, the imperial army base in the west would definitely send several troops to the seven places to suppress the armed uprising. This was also the time when the army base was most empty. They would never have thought that the rebels would give up holding on to the city and concentrate their superior forces to fight for a time lag. As long as the army base can be secured, all of Memnon's plans can basically be said to be stable.
But what they really didn't expect was Memnon. They never expected that the Empire's Western Army would not dispatch immediately as soon as they learned the news. They stopped and relayed what happened in the west to the Imperial Capital via telegram. Before the news from the Imperial Capital came back, this group of guys, later called the "Red Tide", took the initiative to gather outside the base. It seemed that they were here for a decisive battle with the Imperial Army. So an unfair war broke out. With the help of a large amount of military equipment, the Imperial Army easily defeated the main force of the Red Tide, allowing another group of people to disappear into the wild.
In a daze, Memnon came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "I think I know. I will think about it and call you when I think it through."
After hanging up the phone, the anxiety on Memnon's face was gradually replaced by a sinister and ferocious expression. He sat alone in the office for a long time, and then recruited a real confidant, a previously inconspicuous guy, "Shapke There is no longer any possibility between us, I will give you two tasks now." The person standing in the office did not say a word, quietly listening to Memnon's instructions.
This man belonged to the Kadima Party inner guard and only obeyed the orders of the party leader. Memnon asked them to arrest all Shapke's family members first, but not to kill them. Then let them force Schapke to admit that he paid off the gunmen to attack Memnon.
Anyway, the western region is already in chaos now, and Memnon is not afraid of any more chaos in this damn place.
After arranging these things, he waited until before leaving get off work in the evening, put on a body armor and left the city hall building. When he stepped on the last step, a gunman suddenly ran out under the cover of night and shot Memnon indiscriminately. The sound of gunshots alerted Memnon's guards. They had done their best to protect Memnon behind them, but they still couldn't stop the bullets from penetrating Memnon's shoulders and thighs. He fell in a pool of blood like Dulin.
The only difference was that he directed and acted in this assassination play.
Then the city hall sounded the city alarm, the entire city entered a state of control, and the reason was announced to the outside world-someone bribed a gunman to assassinate Mayor Memnon. Mayor Memnon has been sent to the hospital for rescue. Mayor Memnon was seriously injured in this assassination, and his condition is unknown. Three of his guards were killed, and two more were wounded, one seriously. The assassin who killed Memnon was killed on the spot, but no useful clues were left behind.
The whole west becomes more chaotic!
No politician who can shout his voice on the political stage is so easily overthrown. When Memnon found that "being assassinated" was the best way to clear himself of suspicion, he was thinking about how to use such a method. Find the right opportunity to take it out. There is no doubt that Schapke will become a scapegoat. As long as he admits that he hired someone to assassinate Memnon, the momentum created by Schapke will die down.
People will not trust a ruthless person like Schapke who can do anything to his friends. They will protect Memnon's image for the sake of the three-guarantee policy. In addition, Memnon had people pay the full compensation to the victims of the mining accident, and also paid an additional amount of compensation to the families of those who were injured and died in the attack, which has restored his image. People are so complicated, and when they don't achieve what they want, they will inflict all the worst situations on the other person.
But once their wishes are achieved, these people will start to explain to each other in a satisfied state. After all, this is a huge sum of money totaling more than 2.5 million. Mayor Memnon will always need some time to raise funds and investigate the truth of the mining disaster, right? Look, he didn't default on the bill. He paid all the money he was supposed to pay. This is the best proof.
The turmoil in the west has had a series of effects. Many people have begun to choose to leave the west temporarily. The mine owners who often haunt various prosperous cities have also retreated to their own mining areas and no longer come out at will. So far, five members of the Western Mining Association have been assassinated in the street, including two executive members and three mine owners.
The cabinet was also particularly angry because of the turmoil in the west. On the day after Memnon was assassinated, the Western Military Region declared all cities to be under martial law. A large number of soldiers drove armored vehicles on the streets to investigate all passing people they considered suspicious. , or even arrest. The Western Military Region has also officially announced to the outside world that a group of extremely vicious terrorists are currently hiding in the west. It is hoped that all tourists who plan to travel to the west will temporarily stop their plans and respond to this armed terrorist organization that calls itself the "Freedom Front" A wanted search was made.
In such a suffocating atmosphere, Dulin woke up.
"How do you feel?" The apple in Dover's hands was like a magician's. The thin skin quickly disappeared. The moment he put the peeled apple on the plate, the apple suddenly split from the middle. , turned into eight petals, "The doctor said you are lucky, but you may need to change your hairstyle slightly in the future."
A bullet almost hit Dulin's scalp and passed above his ear. Although the bullet did not hit Dulin's head, it left a scar above his ear on the left side. The injury was not serious, and the doctor said that it would not leave any scars after it heals, but there is one thing that may be a little regrettable, that is, that mark will exist forever, and the hair follicles on the skin have been destroyed, making it difficult for them to grow in the future. Get your hair out.
Du Lin nodded, licked his dry and cracked lips, and watched Du Fu drop the apple slices into his mouth piece by piece. He couldn't help but want to stand up and give him a bite. This guy is like this every time. Just when you think he is peeling an apple for you and you feel a little moved, you realize that this guy is just here to make you angry. He rolled his eyes, "If you don't mind, you might need to get me some water. Bullets can't kill me, but thirst can."
After Dover ate all the apples, he clapped his hands, got a cup from the side, and fed Du Lin some water with a wooden spoon. "The doctor said you can't eat or drink too much water for the time being. You can only eat when you start to pass gas." In addition to being shot in the arm and thigh, Dulin was also shot in the waist. A small section of his intestines was shot through, which was the most dangerous shot after the one that flew close to his scalp.
After drinking some water, Dulin felt much better. He licked his lips. The dry and cracked dead skin on his lips had become soft. He bit off some of it with his teeth. "How is the situation outside?"
"Everything is in complete chaos. The most surprising thing is that Memnon was also assassinated. He was not seriously injured, and he was right next door." Dufo pointed to the wall on Dulin's right, "Now Almost all cities in the west have entered a state of military control, and the military has taken over urban security. The entire west is in a breathless atmosphere. "What are you going to do next?"
Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then closed his eyes, "Soldiers shouldn't appear in the city. To be honest, the situation is a little out of my control now, but it doesn't matter. Let's get their sights out of the city. That’s it. Tell our Ten Warriors that they can move again!”
The Ten Warriors were the codenames Dulin gave to the ten slaves. They also liked this codename very much and were proud of it.
After the military took over the city, they were unable to do many things, so they could only "evict" them from the city. The easiest way was to make bigger news.
