Chapter 184: The Parade and the Eclipse of the Moon in the Fire (Part II)

Since the beginning of the constitutional calendar, from the republic to the federation, whether it is the president or the president, their life of ruling or managing the Sanlin Star Domain is actually a difficult time to dance with the seven wolves.

The seven great families with terrifying powers, sneaking into the shadows after the end of the imperial rule, staring indifferently at the regime on the stage, although the wolf's kiss is not like a blood basin, but in the cold winter season, it spits white mist, and its sharp teeth are hidden in the white mist, when they feel threatened or hungry, they will pounce on each other, tearing a large piece of bloody flesh on each other's body.

In the eyes of these families, these stories or accidents that occurred around the seventy years of the Thirty-Seven Constitutional Calendar were originally just routine plots of conspiracy, or a tedious repetition of history, and even the death of the tiger in Xilin only made them coldly join the feast with the government.

It wasn't until after the death of the military god Li Pifu that these families smelled some extremely dangerous smells from the truth of the explosion of the ancient bell, and then, through Xu Le's escape, they noticed that this government seemed to be very different from the previous governments in terms of execution, so they became vigilant.

After being alerted, the big family began to use the media they controlled, with the help of the so-called persecution of the federal heroes, to launch an A" attack on the government and the man in the official residence, and the parliament hill, which has been strongly influenced by them, also began to try to limit the government's power expansion or power desire.

But they did not expect that the federal government and President Pabur, in the face of this seemingly internal and external dilemma, were not panicked, even calm-frightening, and they did not use administrative means to carry out a tough confrontation, but just waited calmly until a big event happened.

A huge demonstration.

A demonstration in support of the government, which is rare in the history of the Federation.

In the huge industrial parks scattered throughout the federal states, where one billion industrial workers are members of the three major trade unions, and the veterans' associations have the strong support of countless veterans and the collective respect of society, one can imagine what it will be like when such a charismatic non-governmental organization suddenly co-launches demonstrations.

According to the demands of the trade unions of the three major industries, all the workers in the industrial parks, except for the enterprises involved in military supplies and biology, refused to go to work and took to the streets, especially the lynx in the federal heavy industry base, and the strike rate reached a terrible 60 percent, and the economy of the entire federation was seriously threatened

According to later statistics, this general strike and march in the early autumn of the 72nd year of the constitutional calendar was the largest number of participants in history and led to the heaviest losses of enterprises.

Countless ordinary people of the Union took to the streets, holding homemade and rudimentary slogans, "Crying slogans with grief and indignation, and inciting the people who stopped to watch on the street to dance and merge into the crowd."

At the front of the strike demonstrations that broke out in the federal states were a group of wounded soldiers in wheelchairs or on crutches, with serious expressions and military medals on their chests, heading towards their destinations, squares or city halls.

In the face of these heroic disabled veterans, the government's riot police did not dare to take any action, in fact, the president's official residence demanded that all government agencies not do anything to obstruct the strike.

As the strikes deepened, and with the loud and powerful slogans of who should be responsible for the victory at the front, the battle of public opinion that had puzzled the people of the Federation for a long time a few days suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The power of the people's will is so terrifying, so powerful that it can affect the tendency of the news media to report, and even affect the rational judgment of many people around them, not many people still insist that the Federation is persecuting Colonel Xu Le, and even last week they were still shouting for Xu Le's hoarse voices.

Maybe this seems a bit ridiculous, but in fact it is just a kind of sadness, ordinary people who lack enough real information for reference, in the analysis and judgment of the situation, are always easy to stand on the side that seems to be reasonable, and whether it is reasonable or not, in fact, it depends on whose voice is louder, this is not a political swing like a wall, but the natural selection of social animals.

The big families that have just woken up and are ready to control, or at least balance, the federal government and President Pabul are forced to sink at this moment, and the media they control cannot confront the angry sea of people head-on, and the mega-corporations they control that can affect the survival of the federation cannot ignore this terrible general strike and choose to confront the government, because they are the Seven, but it is the Seven Families of the Federation, and they cannot see the Federation on the verge of collapse, because then they will also have no bones.

A few years ago, Medellín, who was under investigation by the federal government, remotely controlled the fanatical young George Carlin in the Ministry of Justice building, setting off a federal-shaking demonstration, thus forcing the government and the Seven to choose a compromise. Mr. Pabur, who was his rival at the time, remained calm.

Now, this general strike march, which is far more powerful than a big year, has finally surprised the Seven Families and people in the federal political circle, President Pabur

What kind of prestige does it have among the people at the bottom of the Federation? For decades, Pabur worked tirelessly to fight public interest lawsuits for ordinary workers, and was very rare to be the chief lawyer of the three major industrial unions and veterans' associations, and was deeply loved, and this experience undoubtedly played a great role in today's popular tide that has affected several star fields.

In this way, when Medellín set off a federal upheaval, Pabur's sinking was really just a condescending rank and self-confidence. Looking back at the past, and then looking at the demonstrations on the streets and alleys today, this kind of calm rank and self-confidence is terrifying.

On the second day of the federal general strike march, hundreds of thousands of marchers marched from the industrial park in the southern suburbs of the capital to the cities of the capital SAR, and the huge demonstration procession completely paralyzed the ground transportation in the capital SAR.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, President Pabur gave a speech in front of the presidential residence, and the fanatical and noisy demonstrators crowded the entire Charter Square, and when they heard the hoarse and tired but still uplifting voice of Mr. President, everyone fell silent.

It was an incredible spectacle, where the contagious power of human beings with a common goal oscillated and amplified each other, and gradually became a kind of control with a sense of religious sacredness, and this control could not be seen at all, silently and invisibly, and only exchanged between people's eyes and gestures.

In his speech, President Pabur slandered the marchers about the root causes of the military defeat at the front, severely criticized the selfish manipulation methods of a financial association and its affiliated media outlets, demanded that parliament pass several important wartime regulations, and called on the people of the various federal regions who participated in the demonstrations to remain as calm as possible and return to their respective posts as soon as possible, because the Union at war requires your enthusiasm and desire for justice, but it also requires your labor and wisdom to win a total victory over the Empire。

What a call to endure humiliation and take care of the overall situation, the dense silence of Charter Square suddenly erupted into huge waves of applause and shouts, the young female students burst into tears of excitement, the middle-aged workers were red with excitement, and the disabled veterans in wheelchairs at the front caressed the military medal on their left chest with their right hands, looked at Mr. President on the stage with a resolute expression, and vowed to fight for the glory of the Union until the last drop of blood was shed.

Mr. President called on the people who participated in the strike to return to their jobs, but the people who were deeply aware of the difficult situation of the Government from his speech rushed to the Parliament Hill before the strike marched to end, angrily shouting slogans and waving copies of the votes of parliamentarians in their hands, demanding that the members of parliament, who were urgently convening, immediately pass several important bills submitted by the government.

Parliament Hill will naturally not back down, you must know that Kwong's several temporary regulations in wartime, although the relaxation of government power is not obvious, but two of them are related to the approval of funds, but they are directly related to those big families, how deep can they hide in the shadow of history.

The angry demonstrators, calmly not storming the cordon at the foot of the long stone steps, surrounded the imposing building, threw countless artificial eggs and tomatoes at the stone steps, and once again stained the newly renovated façade of the building.

Editor-in-chief Bob in a single trench coat walked down the street with a gloomy face, his eyes reflecting the reflection of the fire on the corner, and an overturned police car was burning r, as if it had ignited the coarse tobacco that he had forgotten to light at the corner of his lips.

The streets of the capital district are littered with garbage and waste, and the strike of cleaning workers will continue until the early hours of tomorrow morning, which means that the city swept by the parade will still look like this garbage dump at least until tomorrow morning.

Thanks to the efficient organization of the three major industrial unions and veterans' associations, as well as the strong guidance of the police department, coupled with the constant appeals of the government and President Pabul, the fanatical demonstrators did not get out of control, and the capital district was extremely fortunate to remain safe, but there were always some unexpected situations, such as the overturned and burning police car, and the more remote corner of the luxury store smashed into rubble. The situation is not dangerous, but the trend is too dangerous. ”

In the collar, Bob bowed his head, lit the coarse tobacco in the hands of Wood, who had come to pick him up, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "Use the power of the people to fight against the power of the elite, once it gets out of control, there will be big problems." Wood smiled and said, "But I like to see those old men flustered.▲ The Federation is not an empire, of course there is unfairness, but I insist that there is no such thing as a master."

After a pause, Bob said with a frown: "The official residence rejected my application, and Mr. President seems to be unwilling to talk to our disobedient newspaper. ”wW
