267 Flying Separately at the Dawn of Great Disaster (Make Up for Yesterday)
Xia Jiu's task was completed well, and more than a dozen eyeliners were inserted into the National Party, although it was not as many as Luo Ke expected, but the people selected by Xia Jiu were very capable, and even Arnold's secretary was Xia Jiu's people.
It's just that Roque didn't get the information he wanted from Xia Jiu, and Arnold's secretary didn't know about it.
This does not mean that Arnold has nothing to do with this matter, to be honest, whether Arnold has anything to do with this matter or not, Roque doesn't care now, Roque is going to be angry with the National Party, it doesn't matter if there is evidence or not.
Roque didn't stay with Umbrella for long, and a few hours later, a full-scale reprisals against the National Party erupted.
The square in front of the railway station, which is the main front of propaganda of the National Party and the Liberal Party.
The killing of the Liberal Party propagandists did not affect the Liberal Party's propaganda work on the streets, and the day after the murder, the Liberal Party headquarters added security personnel to all the propaganda points, and the ordinary staff also carried weapons while working, but the National Party staff was terrified.
Everyone knows that members of the Liberal Party have been killed, and the National Party is the most suspicious, with the characters of Roque and Owen, will they not be held accountable?
It's impossible, the Liberals will definitely retaliate, but I don't know what way it will take, the top of the National Party may be fine, but these workers on the streets are in danger all the time.
Dick and Lance, who have become managers, are at a loss in the face of this situation, their propaganda point originally had more than a dozen staff members, after the murder, three people have quit the party one after another, two people have taken leave because of illness, and there are only seven people left, including Dick and Lance, who dare to come to work.
"Did you hear that? Yesterday, more than 60 people quit the party, and the headquarters did not dare to announce the news now, for fear of causing a wider range of defections, and I heard that many people in Pretoria also quit the party-" Dick was very worried, and when he spoke, he looked left and right like a thief.
Right next to the propaganda point of the National Party, the propaganda point of the Liberal Party is still working normally.
Unlike before, almost all Liberal workers carried pistols, and many of them wore pistols over their white shirts, which looked very conspicuous, and Johannesburg did not ban guns, but few did.
At each Liberal propaganda point, there were two uniformed security guards who stayed not far from the propaganda point, with tables in front of them filled with snacks and two loaded shotguns.
"Don't talk about Pretoria, I want to quit, the reason why I joined the National Party is only because I can get a stable job by joining the National Party, now it seems that this job is too dangerous, I don't want to be killed outside the house silently, the person who made this decision must be a stupid pig, using force against the Liberal Party in Johannesburg, I'm afraid I won't be kicked in the head by a donkey!" Lance had already figured out who made the decision, he was a complete idiot.
The founders of the Liberal Party are Roque and Owen and Smalls, Owen is the son of the mayor, and Roque and Smalls are the most powerful people in Johannesburg, and the Liberal Party does not use violence against others, and others should be thankful.
"Don't, what should I do if you're gone?" Dick was half-joking, half-begging.
"You're going to continue this job? Man, don't be stupid, it's just a job, it's too late to quit, I don't want to be cannon fodder. "The reason why Lance hasn't left now is because he hasn't paid his salary for the week.
Fortunately, tomorrow is payday, and when this week's salary is in hand, Lance will immediately quit the National Party.
It's very simple to quit the National Party, you don't even need to write an application, you just need to voluntarily give up your identity as the National Party, and during this time in the National Party, Lance and Dick had a good relationship, so Lance opened up to Dick and didn't want to see Dick buried with the National Party.
Yes, the funeral, in Lance's view, whether this matter has anything to do with the National Party or not, the National Party is dead this time, violence is a Pandora's box, when violence is not used, the National Party can still survive, once it is put into violence, the National Party does not even have the ability to parry.
"I still have to think about it-" Dick was secretly complaining, his purpose for joining the National Party was different from Lance, Lance could quit at any time, but Dick had something unspeakable, without Xia Jiu's consent, Dick didn't dare to leave.
"What is there to consider? Do you think those young masters of aristocratic families will think about our lives or deaths? It's impossible, our job is on the street, and we may face retribution at any time, those young masters of the aristocratic family will not face this situation at all, even if they lose the election, they can still continue their lives when they return to Pretoria, what about us? Lance didn't expect Dick to be so "dead-eyed", and his voice was a little loud, which not only stunned the National Party staff at the propaganda point, but also attracted frequent sideways glances from the Liberal Party propagandists next to him.
It seems that the script is a little wrong, shouldn't everyone in the Liberals be at risk-
Just when the hearts of the National Party were fluctuating, Arnold was also questioning Henry Alsop at the National Party headquarters.
"Did you do it?" Arnold was simple and straightforward.
"I said, no!" Henry Alsop outright denied it.
"Not? Do you dare to say no to me? Henry, I told you that whatever you do, you have to consult with me first, this is the foundation of our mutual trust! Arnold also had no evidence that Henry Alsop did it, but he told Arnold directly that it must have something to do with Henry Alsop.
"Our goal is to deal with the Liberals and fight for more seats in the upcoming elections, and it's worth paying some price for that!" Henry Alsop still didn't admit it, but he no longer denied it outright.
"I knew you did it, do you know what you're doing?" Arnold was so angry that he was called home by Philip and scolded him badly, this time Philip did not send Arnold back to London, but let Arnold deal with the matter alone, if he didn't handle it well, then Philip would consider imprisoning Arnold in the fiefdom manor forever.
This result was absolutely unacceptable to Arnold, the Filip family's fiefdom was in a remote village on the mainland, where there were no dinners, no bars, no facilities related to "modernization", and Arnold would rather die if he was confined.
"I told you, I didn't do it." Henry Alsop was still hard-mouthed.
"Hehe, Henry, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation yet, do you want to tell me what Locke will do next? He will unleash all his forces to take revenge on you in all directions, the National Party that has just picked up a little bit will fall apart, you will lose the trust of your father, you will never have the opportunity to set foot in politics again, everyone will stay away from you, you will be abandoned like a lost dog by the mainstream of the Transvaalal society-" Arnold's words are very apt in this paragraph, and it is a personal experience.
"Nonsense, even if he is Locke, he cannot convict someone without evidence." Henry Alsop felt a little irritated and got up from his chair and paced back and forth in the room.
"Now you know you're scared? It's late, you don't even need any evidence, you just decide the fate of other people, why can't Locke do that? Arnold's irony is obvious, many people are strict with others, and the same standard is natural for others, but unacceptable for themselves.
"Arnold, are you scared!" Henry Alsop agitated.
"Yes, I'm scared, but I'm not scared of Locke, I'm scared of a fool like you, do you think I don't know why you made me the chairman of the National Party? Don't think you're so smart, you only have one way now, hand over the murderer, and then dissolve the National Party, or you just wait. "Arnold is welcome, no one is stupid, Henry Alsop is calculating Arnold, why didn't Arnold use this opportunity to return to Johannesburg.
"I said, I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me." Henry Alsop was very inward, Arnold was right, he was really afraid.
It's hard to tell why Henry Alsop did this, maybe he just wanted to muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters, or maybe he wanted to provoke Roque and Owen and profit from it, or maybe he wanted to burn everything, and if the National Party couldn't win the Liberal Party anyway, then everyone would end up together.
In any case, as long as the leader of the National Party is Arnold, Henry Alsop is safe.
What Henry Alsop never expected was that Arnold had also learned to judge the situation, which made Henry Alsop immediately exposed.
"Explain to Locke and Owen yourself, this matter has nothing to do with me, I came back to tell you that you are finished, and the National Party is finished-" Arnold stood up and picked up his hat to take his leave, and he would announce his resignation as leader of the National Party later.
"Then you're done!" Henry Alsop was hoarse.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's over, at most there is no place in the new government, and that's not what I want anyway-" Arnold laughed and opened the door, which was crowded with staff from the National Party headquarters.
Arnold was stunned, but still bowed politely and apologized: "I'm sorry, because of the behavior of a certain fool, the National Party has been doomed, I now officially resign from the position of chairman of the National Party, and everything in the National Party will no longer have anything to do with me in the future——"
"Bastard, how can you do this!" Henry Alsop was furious.
"I almost forgot, if you also want to resign, go to the finance office now to get your salary, double pay this week, this is the only thing I can do as a party chairman." Arnold didn't even look at Henry Alsop, and when disaster came, it was better to fly separately.
