Twenty Seven Years Chapter 509

  Chapter 509 Public Opinion War (Thirty)

   "It's finally here." Veraker was not surprised by this.

  Everyone knows that the Martyrs Cemetery has long been targeted by the government, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

  The previous action team was committed to planning harassment and sabotage operations in other places. Although this effectively attracted the attention of the government forces and diverted a considerable part of their energy, it was ultimately unable to permanently cover the Martyrs Cemetery.

  When the government forces were desperate and couldn't wait to wipe out the action team, it became inevitable to attack the martyrs' cemetery.

   "Tell me about the situation carefully." Verac was ready to give up the martyrs cemetery, but he asked about the specific situation there before announcing the result.

   "The comrades stationed there sent a telegram saying that the government troops had transported boxes and boxes of supplies, and strengthened the surrounding martial law, and are evacuating some residents living nearby." Murphy said.

   "Materials?" Verak looked puzzled.

   "The comrades over there don't quite know what it is. Anyway, a large batch has been transported over. It is said that soldiers from the government army are putting these things in the cemetery."

  Verak looked at Shirley, and Shirley also looked at him.

  Government forces suddenly imposed martial law to evacuate the people, and transported a lot of things to the cemetery.

  They will never intend to sleep with the comrades who died in the International Equality League, so the possibility of living materials can be ruled out.

  There is no organized enemy armed force in Laizein, and the government army does not lack warehouses with a good environment. The possibility of storing combat supplies can also be ruled out.

   In this way, there are very few things that are helpful to the government army's destruction of the martyrs' cemetery if they meet the conditions and have a reason to be transported there.

  Both of them vaguely guessed what it was.

  Leizein, in front of the International Equality League Martyrs Cemetery

  Since the government army recovered Laizein, they have successively sent many more soldiers on duty here, and finally the number of troops stationed in the surrounding area has accumulated more than two companies.

  At this time, these soldiers received an order from General Celt to officially destroy the martyrs cemetery by means including but not limited to blowing up and burning.

   This action was inevitably perceived by nearby residents.

  With the conflict between the people and the government already intensified to the apex, the plan of the government army was unsurprisingly blocked by a large number of people.

   Countless people broke through the government army's human wall blockade, poured into the martyrs cemetery, and tore together with the government soldiers stationed there.

   Captain Akers, who was in charge of guarding the martyrs' cemetery and executing the sabotage plan, was very troubled and helpless.

  There are too many people who resist and make trouble.

  The strength of their mere two companies, whether it is maintaining order or suppressing, is extremely reluctant.

   And all of this is self-inflicted.

   Canceling most of the benefits previously maintained by the International Equality Alliance, maintaining order with violence, using the people to make false reports, arresting innocent people as members of the International Equality Alliance and executing them, etc., gradually broke their patience.

  The result of the exhaustion of patience is that they will naturally have the idea and consensus of "rather than cowering and lingering, waiting for the government to send them to death at any time, it is better to fight to the end and gain a brilliant possibility".

  The adjutant stood next to Captain Akers and said unhappily: "I really want to order to shoot them."

"We only have such a small number of people. If we really do it, we will be torn to pieces." Captain Akers was resting in a hotel near the Martyrs Cemetery. Through the window, he saw a group of people pushing and pushing The shouting soldiers and citizens could not help but sigh.

  The adjutant knew very well that it is absolutely not advisable to use violence to control violence in the current situation, so he asked with a sinking heart: "Do you want to apply for more troops? Otherwise, the mission will definitely not go on."

  Captain Akers held a cup of hot water to keep warm: "Well, we can't blow up everyone."

   "Then I'll go." The adjutant nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute." Captain Akers raised his hand, "Now the entire Laizein has been turned upside down, and the troops everywhere are stretched. When reporting the situation to the higher authorities, we must properly exaggerate our situation, so that we can get more priority. support."

   "Understood." The adjutant turned and left.

  Government Building, Office of the President

  President Auston has just finished a meeting with a group of military officers, ministers, and editor-in-chiefs of various newspapers involved in the public opinion war, to understand and guide how to deal with the status quo.

  In his opinion, except for the fact that a large number of undercover agents stationed in Leicester were caught, everything else was within the scope of redemption and affordability.

   Even if the International Equality League has the current evidence, it is not enough to completely reverse public opinion and change everyone's outlook. But if they can make the water muddy and make the people who don't have the qualifications to judge become cautious and dare not believe in the International Equality Alliance at will, they will win.

After all, the current strength of the International Equality Alliance is not enough to compete with the powerful government forces. If they destroy the soil they grow and rely on for survival, the force that has lost its future and can only huddle in a corner will no longer be able to fight. Not threatening.

As for what the International Equality Alliance said, the government forces stationed in Lezein did not actually capture many members of the action team. They basically relied on arresting innocent people to serve as members of the International Equality Alliance to confuse the outside world. Auston The president doesn't care at all.

How is this possible?

  General Selt reported the arrest situation to himself on a regular basis, and he also asked and approved in detail every time.

   Moreover, hundreds of members of the International Equality League are still being held in the prison at this time, and many of them will be pulled out for execution every day.

  How could it be false?

  If I believe in such low-level public opinion, wouldn't it be a big joke?

   All in all, President Auston thinks things are under control. No matter how far the newspapers can counterattack, because Laize has tens of thousands of government troops stationed, it is impossible for the people to fall out.

   "Boom boom boom."

   There was a knock on the door.

   "Come in." Called President Auston, who secretly admired himself for being so calm before the storm.

Soon, the door opened, and one of his direct descendants, a subordinate in charge of Laizein's intelligence work, walked in, and bluntly presented a piece of intelligence that shocked his jaw: "The news from the International Equality League may be real."

   "What?!" President Auston was taken aback.

  Slandered the International Equality Alliance, and the International Equality Alliance collected evidence to clarify things. Needless to say, they did show real evidence. Although they can't admit it to the outside world, they all know that everything the International Equality Alliance said is true.

  But what the subordinate is talking about now is obviously not about this.

   "What the International Equality League said about us arresting innocent people and serving as members of the International Equality League may be true." The subordinate repeated.

   "How, how is it possible?" President Auston's heart tightened.

"According to my secret investigation, many prisoners identified by General Celt as members of the International Equality League were not searched for reliable evidence when they were arrested. Most of them relied on a report from an anonymous person. In prison." The subordinate reported.

  President Auston stared at his subordinates and said, "Have you checked the documents with General Celter?"

"No."

  Hearing this, President Auston breathed a sigh of relief: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. You didn't go there to inquire about the situation. How can you be sure that they don't have definite evidence?"

   "Your Excellency, you should be clear. If this is true, then I will ask General Selt to find out the situation. Not only will I not get valuable clues, but it will arouse the other party's vigilance." The subordinate said unhurriedly.

   "You..." President Auston's expression froze.

  This subordinate was personally assigned by him to work in the Laizein Intelligence Bureau.

  It's a pity that they have just returned to Laizein, and most of the security work is in charge of General Celt, and the intelligence bureau is just an empty shelf.

   This just made General Celt never take his subordinate seriously, and gave him the opportunity to investigate secretly.

   "Do you have any reliable information?" President Auston looked more serious, "Do you know what you mean?"

"I am very clear, and I did have some clues. To be precise, I just felt that something was wrong before, so I secretly visited the families of many arrested people and conducted some experiments. The International Equality League spread The evidence published in these newspapers has strongly proved my guess and the results of my experiments."

   "Tell me carefully." President Auston unconsciously lowered his voice and straightened his body.

The subordinate took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and said, "At the beginning, I wondered if I was worrying too much. After all, I am more likely to have problems than General Selt and a large number of officers to deceive you. But I can't go to the prison directly, so once the slight possibility is true, it will inevitably alarm them and make things uncontrollable. So, to be on the safe side, I decided to do an experiment by myself to further improve judge."

  President Auston swallowed, struggling to keep calm, waiting for his subordinates to tell the whole story.

"The experiment is very simple. Five days ago, I made an anonymous whistleblower myself. I randomly reported five people who had no connection with me. As a result, all five people were arrested and sent to prison, and one of them was executed the day before yesterday." The subordinate himself was also very nervous, and wiped his cold sweat while talking.

"It's not completely certain that everything is false, right? General Selt may have taken these five people to the prison for interrogation with the idea of ​​"rather killing by mistake than letting go"? The one who was arrested may really be an international equal. Alliance members, or maybe there were some mistakes in the interrogation? There are so many people, it is inevitable that there will be manslaughter." President Alston questioned.

"Yes, it is precisely because of these reasons that I only increased my suspicions, and did not directly conclude that everything is what I thought. Until the International Equality Alliance has a lot of information to counterattack us with public opinion." The subordinate handed several newspapers to President Auston.

  President Auston had read these newspapers for the first time, but he didn't pay attention to them at all at the time. He directly believed that this was adulteration in the real news of the International Equality League, and it was a clumsy trick to incite the people and divide them.

   Now, he had to take another serious look.

  First of all, there are a few big photos in the newspaper.

   Some prisoners were given false treatment, some were beaten, and some were interrogated.

  The location can be confirmed, it is really in the prison they use to hold members of the International Equality League.

  President Auston still couldn't believe the content of the report.

  The text contains a detailed and complete description of what reporter Capa saw and heard in the prison, how the prison falsified, and how it abused innocent people.

  The candidates to be executed every day are actually decided by the deputy warden at will, seeing who is unhappy that day.

  The few prisoners who got out alive were released by their relatives who cobbled together a large sum of money and bribed the prison staff.

"This... I don't think it can be used as the most powerful evidence. Don't forget, this reporter who defected to the International Equality League was previously trusted by the newspaper. It is not difficult for him to go to prison and deliberately photograph what he wants." Oss After reading the newspaper, President Ton felt a little depressed.

"I will continue to investigate the rest of the evidence, and try to report to you in the shortest possible time." The subordinate added with a sullen face, "However, there is one more thing you must be clear about. So many clues are Can't be identified as true, but it can't be identified as false either. That's enough to say something."

  President Auston did not speak.

  He knew what his subordinates said made sense.

  There are so many unfavorable clues popping up now, even if there is no final evidence, it is enough to explain the problem.

  At the very least, there is a possibility that General Celt deceived him and lied about his achievements. No matter how bad it is, these clues can confirm that he has made many mistakes in handling the action team.

  A subordinate acting as an anonymous person reports five people casually, and five people can be arrested and executed.

   What about the others? In order to offer high rewards, they will inevitably report innocent people indiscriminately.

   According to the reports in the newspaper, how many of the thousands of members of the International Equality League have been arrested, how many of them are real can be imagined.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Before there is no conclusive evidence, this is just a guess after all." Seeing that President Auston's face was livid, the subordinate tried to make some good guesses, "Think about it, Lazer Although the Intelligence Bureau is still empty-handed, it is established here after all. If General Celt really has the ability to unite all the officers to deceive you, he should not forget to enlist me. But in fact, they have not contacted me for so long. "

  President Auston still didn't speak.

  Because the comfort from his subordinates had no effect on him.

  Not to mention General Selt, even he almost forgot that there is such a number one person in such a department.

  If it wasn't for the subordinate whom he personally appointed to come to the door, it is estimated that they will not meet again for quite a long time.

"...If it is true, it means that Celt has joined forces with a considerable number of people in Laizein, and almost emptied me, making me lose the ability to judge." After a while, Oston, who was relieved, said "There are very few people I can rely on now, and the help I can provide you is also very limited..."

   "Don't worry, I will make sufficient preparations. You only need to consider how to deal with General Celt if everything is true."
