Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 251
boom!
At this moment, a soldier in the military police seemed to accidentally pull the trigger when he put down his weapon, and a dazzling spark and choking smoke were ejected from the muzzle, and the lead bullet was deformed by the power of gunpowder. He rushed out of the muzzle and flew towards the crowd in front!
“Shooted!”
The moment the gunshots sounded, the crowd suddenly boiled, and the deformed bullet directly penetrated the chest of a young man who was squeezed in front of the crowd. The muzzle, still smoking, slowly fell backwards.
The civilians behind the young man hurriedly reached out to support him, and one of the men supporting him looked in horror at the blood flowing from the wound on his chest, and the young man who was struggling in constant pain, shouting: “They are going to kill him. They’re going to kill him!”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd boiled again. People looked angrily at the shooting soldier and the gendarmerie in front of them. The soldier whose gun went off the fire knew that he had caused a catastrophe.
At this moment, the Imperial agents mixed in the crowd shouted: “The army is shooting at the people they are protecting! What are we still hesitating about? Rush over and grab the guns in their hands, don’t let them fire again. Time for a gun!”
After all, the agents standing in front took the lead, shouting with some of the gangsters they bought in advance, and rushed towards the military police in front. With their lead, the civilians who were stimulated by blood also followed. The wooden sign rushed up!
“Fuck them! Grab their weapons!”
“Don’t give them another chance to shoot! Rush over!”
The civilians who had the leader all rushed up screaming, but no one noticed that many of those who had just taken the lead had slowed down and hid in the crowd.
Looking at the civilians who came out with wooden signs and slogans, the officers in the military police quickly raised their flintlock pistols, aimed at the civilians in front, and loudly ordered their subordinates to raise their guns and shoot, and the soldiers were also confused by what just happened. They were a little confused, but their obedience to the order made many of them still raise their rifles in accordance with the order.
“Don’t get close!”
The younger officers held up their guns and tried to use a threatening tone to stop the civilians, but the more experienced officers pulled the trigger and yelled, “Shoot!”
As the projectile of the flintlock pistol was fired, the soldiers who had been a little nervous by the rushing civilians also pulled the trigger under the officer’s roar!
For a time, the military police formation blocking the crowd and the parliament fired a row of salvos, and the projectiles melted and deformed by the high temperature flew into the crowd. Those running civilians seemed to be hit hard by the invisible iron fist in the air. A cloud of blood exploded in front of him, and the whole person either fell backwards or fell forward, and dozens of people were shot and killed immediately.
The blood splattered on the civilians who were shot caused some civilians who followed to wake up suddenly. They dazedly wiped the blood that had splattered on their bodies. After seeing the shocking red, their souls immediately returned to their bodies. With a sharp scream, he turned around and was about to retreat.
But just as they turned around, they were horrified to find that the military police who surrounded them around the square also raised their rifles and aimed their black muzzles at them!
“Run! The army is about to kill!”
I don’t know who in the crowd shouted this voice first, and then, the crowd who forcibly interrupted the charge because of a salvo of the military police could no longer pay attention to those who were hit by the bullets, and screamed and turned and ran back. , want to leave this **** square.
Behind the ranks of the military police, where the smoke of gunpowder has not yet completely dissipated, the Speaker-in-Chief Creighton Heller, who was standing at the top of the stairs, had a panoramic view of what just happened. Although the expression on his face was calm, there was not much change. , but my heart was full of bitterness.
He couldn’t stop all this from happening at all. Just now, he wanted to stop the military police from shooting, but he looked at the civilians who were agitated and excited, and worried that if the soldiers didn’t shoot, the crowd would break through the line of defense, Grab the weapons, and in the end, it is myself and those MPs who suffer.
In the few seconds he hesitated, the development of the matter gave him no chance to control, and the officers in the military police directly ordered the shooting. Although dozens of civilian casualties were caused, they were indeed successfully repelled. Crowd shock.
But is it really worth it?
He couldn’t help thinking in his heart that the shot fired today would definitely have a very serious impact. Within a day, newspapers and magazines in the whole city would publish this incident, and people in the whole city would know about it, and it would happen after that. He didn’t dare to think about anything.
Not only that, if this news reaches the front lines and reaches the ears of the soldiers who are still fighting for their country, they are worried that the emotions of their families will surely trouble the hearts of the soldiers from Enkrans City. At such a critical moment. If there is a problem with the heart of the army, then the problem can be a big one.
While Creighton Heller was thinking, the civilians who were frightened by the volley of guns had lost order, screaming and running towards street corners in all directions, ignoring that there were still military police guarding there.
However, the military police who blocked their escape route did not intend to do anything to the frightened civilians. They just silently made way for the civilians to escape through the gap under the instruction of the officers.
Everyone knows very well that in this tense situation, restraint as much as possible, and it is best not to cause too many casualties. The still-fighting army will also have an impact.
Therefore ~www.mtlnovel.com~ military police did not kill the civilians, and even after repelling the onslaught of the crowd, they took the initiative to check and treat the wounded, trying to keep casualties to a minimum.
That night.
In the corner coffee house, the agents from the empire gathered together again. Director Enkelan’s expression seemed a little gloomy. He hid most of his body in the dark place under the firelight, and put his hands on his cheeks.
“The restraint of the Enkelans really exceeded our expectations. According to the plan, even if the angry crowd could not break through the gendarmerie’s block, as long as the gendarmerie couldn’t hold back the shooting and caused mass bloodshed, they would Still lost.”
“But!” the director continued, “they were actually able to control the level of bloodshed, and the difficulty for us to start a big riot in the whole city will probably be greatly increased.”
“But this is not a hindrance. We can continue as planned and start preparing for a riot in the city. At the same time, we will deliberately exaggerate the bloodshed in the square and spread it to the front line.”
