Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Mommy, You Can Do It! (Part 2)
“General, it’s not good; people are marching.”
General Barton, already in a foul mood, imdiately shouted without turning his head, “Drive them back ho.”
“But… their numbers are large, and…” The assistant glanced at those present, “They have weapons, and a conflict is about to break out. If that really happens, then… the impact will be extrely negative.”
The Northwest Region has always had a fierce populace, and gun managent is not strict. Many families own things like hunting rifles. To protect themselves, many in the marching crowd are carrying guns and self-defense weapons.
Bang!
Before the assistant could finish speaking, there was a dull noise from outside the window.
Everyone rushed to the window, and saw a wine bottle thrown onto the plaza outside the city hall by an unknown person. The gasoline inside ignited imdiately, setting on fire a policeman who attempted to stop the marching crowd.
“Everyone, charge forward and demand an explanation from Barton!”
“Charge!”
…
With just the city’s police force, it was impossible to handle such an incident. Soon, people broke through the police line and engaged in scuffles with those blocking them. Many had already reached the steps of the city hall.
General Barton watched this situation, his face turning livid with rage.
“Imdiately call in the military!”
Soon, the military was deployed, using high-pressure water cannons and gas grenades to quickly suppress the marching crowd. Many were injured, but fortunately, the situation finally cald down.
The plaza returned to tranquility, but it was already in chaos. Injured police officers lay on the ground groaning. So corpses had been trampled beyond recognition, making it impossible to tell whether they were soldiers or civilians. The ground was strewn with all kinds of trash…
Several high-ranking military officers were silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
“Ahem!” The mayor coughed lightly, “General, many supermarket shelves are already empty. Would you consider bringing over so military supplies?”
“No way!” General Barton imdiately rejected the proposal, “Military supplies are absolutely untouchable. Find a way to get so food.”
“But… where do we get it from?”
The mayor looked troubled, speaking casually, but where was he supposed to find food at this ti?
“You’re asking ?” General Barton turned his face angrily, “Why not, shall I go myself?”
The mayor shivered under his gaze, not daring to say more, and turned away from the terrace to find a way.
“General.” A deputy general approached, “Continuing like this isn’t a solution; how about… we negotiate?”
“Yes, General.” Another officer imdiately agreed, following the lead, “At this ti, Gan Yuan wouldn’t dare to really fight us. We could negotiate and propose so terms…”
“Shut up!” General Barton coldly interrupted, “Expect to surrender to her? Dream on!”
“General…” An old deputy general spoke aningfully, “Now is not the ti to act on emotion. You must think clearly; their forces are twice ours. We really can’t win this war!”
Not to ntion the issue of manpower, if this war were to start, they have more than half the country as a backing and support from a few other nations. But what about them?
Lacking resources, lacking manpower, and now there’s internal chaos. On what basis could they fight?!
Several deputy generals expressed their agreent, endorsing the deputy general’s opinion.
