Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 249

Time is fast into late November.

The envoy sent by the Enclave Council was undoubtedly rejected after contacting the imperial army. The envoy was not surprised by the result. He just thought he was going to the front line and “inspected” the defense. Back to Enclave.

What the messenger didn’t know was that during his absence, rumors and deeds about him had already been spread all over the city. To stop the war, the messengers they sent out just walked around the front line and returned to the capital under the pretext that the Lumontese refused to negotiate. In fact, there was no contact between the two sides.

Citizens did not believe this rumor at first, but as more and more people spread this rumor, the so-called three people became tigers, the more people spread it, the higher the credibility of its content. .

Therefore, many citizens turned from distrust at the beginning to skepticism in the future, but they still retained a certain degree of trust in the parliament, and waited eagerly for the messenger. Answer.

However, the fact was as rumored, the messenger returned to the capital under the attention of everyone, and even the messenger himself did not believe that there were so many people waiting for him. However, under the gaze of the citizens, he showed a gesture of shame and guilt, loudly denounced the barbarity of the Rumeng people, and told the citizens that the Rumeng people directly refused to negotiate, saying that the war would be carried to the end.

After listening to the messenger’s words, the citizens surprisingly did not make a noise and cursed the Lumen people. They all looked at the messenger and the entourage who came back with him quietly, with disappointment in their eyes.

The emptiness of disappointment and betrayal gradually filled the hearts of most of the citizens on the street. They recalled the content of the rumor that was going viral on the streets some time ago, and its content was completely consistent with reality!

If no one told people about the misinterpreted future, when the messenger came back, people would just turn their anger on their common foreign enemy, but now, they have been completely misguided and turned their anger on “betraying” them on the government.

Therefore, dissatisfaction has been planted in the hearts of the citizens of Enclance at this time. Although the citizens will not immediately attack the parliament, as long as someone stirs up the flames and fuels them at this time, it is planted in their hearts. That seed will quickly take root and burst out of the ground!

In the next few days after the messenger returned to Enkrans City, new rumors suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of the city, and the dirty things that some members of parliament had done were also revealed, causing a great uproar among the people.

Among them, evil deeds such as forcibly occupying private fields, robbing civilian women, and oppressing good people are the most likely to arouse the indignation of civilians. Coupled with the fact that imperial agents and spies deliberately fan the flames and provoke the anger of civilians, things become more and more Get serious.

By the time the Enkelan Council noticed this, there were sporadic angry citizens on the streets. Those citizens held up various slogans, demanding that the council severely punish the members involved and carry out a so-called just trial.

Regarding the demands of the common people, the parliament will naturally not arrest and deal with the members who occupy a certain position in the parliament because of the voices of the pariahs, but they cannot let it go. Therefore, the parliament lightly announced that it will investigate the members. , to give the public a reasonable explanation.

Of course, this so-called investigation will not come true, and the parliament just wants to use the trick to deal with this matter. After a long time, the popularity of this matter will slowly pass away, and not many people will pay attention to this matter anymore. , you can muddle through.

And now in a state of war, the battle reports from the front line will also divert the attention of civilians, and they will not take this matter seriously.

However, what happened next caught the people in the council by surprise. The citizens were not persuaded by their rhetoric. Instead, more and more people joined the parade, holding various writings. Wooden signs full of slogans gathered in the open square in front of the parliament, asking the parliament to immediately try the members involved.

Listening to the noise and clamor outside, the members of the parliament were a little frightened, and they couldn’t help but think of the deeds of the mob who attacked the parliament and killed and injured the members in history.

“We can’t let those citizens continue to gather on the square!” shouted a member of parliament, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a faint trembling in his voice, “When I came, my The carriage was almost blocked outside by those citizens, who were slapping the carriage directly, which was really disturbing.”

The other congressmen did not mock him because of the congressman’s tone. They all echoed their voices, requesting the General Speaker to mobilize the gendarmerie troops and garrison troops stationed in and outside the city to enter the city to guard against the rioters and further expand the situation.

Senator Abner, who was previously “invited” out of the parliament, stood up again in the voice of concurrence, and said to the Speaker: “Your Excellency, the front line is fighting with the enemy, we must stabilize the situation in the rear, and we must not let the front line The military is shaken by concerns about the situation at home.”

Although Abner was remembered by the Speaker and other MPs in his last speech, his two proposals were all on point, and the other MPs temporarily forgot his “offensive” last time and agreed. his words.

“Move the army?” Compared with those parliamentarians~www.mtlnovel.com~ Speaker Heller was more hesitant. As the Speaker, he knew very well that once he opened his mouth, the next developments would be very likely to change. become uncontrollable.

Similar examples have not happened before. Not to mention, take their former wartime ally, the Hildi Kingdom, for example. The riot that occurred in the city of Hilens, the capital of the Hildi Kingdom, was due to the intervention of the army. And the outbreak, the riots in the city accelerated the fall of the city, which eventually led to the occupation of the city by Rumont’s army.

The President’s hesitation did not last long, and the members who were only worried about their comfort became noisy again. In the end, the President had to make a decision in court and announced that the gendarmerie troops stationed in the city would be mobilized into the square to maintain order.

When the President made this announcement, no one noticed that Abner, who was still full of righteous indignation just now, slowly sat down. He looked at the concurring members around him, and the corner of his mouth slowly raised an imperceptible contempt. smile.

After the army intervenes, in a tense atmosphere, once someone “accidentally” fires the first shot, then…

I know everything.
