Chapter 31: The Riot
For two days in a row, Rika Fujimaru and Yukisai Yagi were just enjoying the top treatment in the White House.
However, it is said that it is a top-level treatment, and it is only to the extent that there is meat and vegetables in a meal.
The bread has begun to harden a little, which shows that the supplies have begun to be scarce.
In fact, before Fujimaru Rika and the others came, the front of the United States of America could not be sustained.
In order to confront the Celtic soldiers, who had the Holy Grail as soldiers at that time, Edison adopted the militarization of the whole army.
After all, there will inevitably be casualties on the battlefield, and how many people Celtic dies can be summoned by a few drops of Maeve's blood. But on Edison's side, to die is to die.
For this reason, he launched mechanized infantry, but mechanized infantry is also operated by people. As long as there is a war, food must be rationed, and the three armies will go first before they move the grain and grass, and they will not have the strength to fight a war if they are not full.
Celtic's side is very powerful, people are summoned by Maeve, they don't eat without eating, they starve to death and are summoned again - and people don't starve to death.
From the point of view of the war, Maeve's Celtic soldiers are really top-notch.
No need to eat, no need to sleep, strong body, absolute obedience, no rebellion, endless numbers.
Fighting with this kind of soldier is only a dead end. The advantages of crowd tactics are too great.
It can only be like the Chaldeans, directly beheaded, cutting off the production line of soldiers.
Before the Chaldea came, Edison lacked generals, just one Karna, if he went to steal the house, the White House would be attacked by the other party's servants, and he still had to let Karna come back.
Because of the perennial war, now the entire economy of the United States is on the verge of collapse, and it is impossible to say that everything is in ruins, in the real sense...... It is possible to die directly from the famine.
Before, because of the powerful enemy of Celtic, everyone could tie into the belt of their pants and tell themselves: win the battle first, and if you win, you will have a good life.
But...... Isn't it already won now?
Are the good days coming?
People are asking themselves...... I really can't say "I'm happy now".
Materials are extremely scarce, and the food is the same as during the war, not to mention enjoyment, and even the most basic food and clothing cannot be solved.
There are also various procedures that are cumbersome, and there are long queues to wait in line, such as receiving meal vouchers, such as correcting the address, such as applying for benefits.
Now, although the battle has been won, more problems have been exposed.
On this day, it finally ...... Riots broke out.
On this day, quietly, all the pillars in the whole city posted [photos].
Quiet Karna had a teapot in his hand and was pouring tea.
There is also a picture of President Wang holding a steak and munching on it.
Or a picture of Helena holding a teacup.
Taken together, several pictures look like they're having a big meal.
The photos were stained on a piece of paper with the words: Rich people!
These small pieces of paper ignited the anger of the people overnight.
Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.
If the whole country starves together, everyone can still bear it.
If you grit your teeth and go to the battlefield desperately, but only a handful of people can eat enough, you will naturally have "Why!" "The mood.
This move is extremely damaging, and it is chosen at a time when the war has just ended and everything is in ruins.
If there are reasonable people, they will speculate on the authenticity of these photos, and also, to see if there are any traces of human processing in these photos, whether they are real. Then carefully consider whether it is the enemy's conspiracy.
It is a pity that the current public rarely has such a cautious and correct mood, as mentioned before. Now that's it, no matter how much President King Edison, Helena, and Karna have contributed, and now the half-starved people see that these people are actually well fed and dressed, and stay in the palace!
Then, the resentment erupted in one breath, like a ticking time bomb.
Angry people took up arms again, gathered at the gates of the White House, demanded the opening of the grain depot, and demanded a change in the status quo.
Be rational, march in the streets.
If you are a little irritable, you will directly reverse it.
Yagi Yukisai looked at the excited people downstairs through the window, and he just sighed in his heart, and his position would become so fast.
Should...... Someone is secretly fueling the trouble.
Speaking of which, it seems that the President King mentioned that although some servants were summoned, they did not fight with the President King.
Could it be that those servants are helping?
If you think so......
What was the professor doing when Yagi Yukisai went undercover to the enemy's place? Bored to stay? Impossible, right?
Sure enough, this old man should have secretly contacted the local resistance organization.
These photographs, without a doubt, were taken.
Yagi and the others didn't have cameras with them, and Mr. Joljos didn't come with them. So, who filmed it? When was it filmed? I don't know.
The Resistance has penetrated deep into the White House?
It can't be, they would have done it to Edison a long time ago if they had this ability.
So...... The basis of reasoning: you rule out other possibilities, and what remains is the truth.
Yagi thought for a moment, and sure enough, it should have been made by Old Man Moriarty.
During that time, Baixiang Hassan was still there, dividing into hundreds of personalities, relying on the breath to secretly take pictures...... Or, contact the Resistance...... Hmm, that old man...... Don't say anything, in fact, you can't do anything!
In fact, it is indeed as Yagi speculated.
Edison summoned the Servants, but because he didn't want to save the world, some of the summoned Servants abandoned Edison. Although he would not openly oppose him, he did not agree with Edison's method of salvation.
Tesla is one of them.
Moriarty saw that the United States was now at the end of its power, so he decided on this plan.
If he were still here, the plan would have been carried out more smoothly and more terrifyingly.
It is worthy of being the big boss of the crime world.
But he's not there......
Yagi Yukisai didn't know what Moriarty was doing, so naturally he couldn't contact the resistance group he had contacted before.
As a result, the rebel group waited for two days, and felt that it could not wait any longer, so it directly instigated a rebellion......
As for the effect......
"Wait!? Helena-kun! Why! Why are the citizens of America at the door of the White House! What is this doing?! ”
Edison didn't understand that he was forced to step down.
"President King, let's make a decision as soon as possible! It's riots! ”
Helena frowned, and Karna's expression was a little gloomy.
Of the three people present, one was an inventor, one was a magician, and the other was a warrior, none of them were proficient in politics, and none of them were good at appeasing the people.
Now that there is a riot, the three of you, look at me, I will look at you, I only know that it must not be suppressed blindly by force...... But what can be done if it can't be suppressed by force? How can we get people back to work?
"Only, as long as there is another half a day! In half a day, the Holy Grail Modification Device can be ...... Karna-kun, can I ask you to buy time? ”
"Hahahaha, Edison! Where are you, you idiot? Come out and pay your respects! The myth of mankind! Thunder and lightning are coming!! ”
This hearty laughter, overflowing with confidence, Edison will never forget for the rest of his life...... President Wang pushed open the window and let out the loudest roar ever:
"Nikola Tesla !!!!"
