Wild North America 1846

Chapter 668
When Lieutenant Colonel Jean-Périère arrived in a hurry with dozens of National Guard soldiers, the order at the scene had become chaotic.The sharp police whistle sounded endlessly, mixed with the cries and screams of women.

The two police officers on the periphery did not dare to rush into the crowd of mobs, so they could only stand on the periphery, blowing their whistles anxiously to call for their companions.

When Lieutenant Colonel Jean-Périère led his team to arrive, he saw only a dense crowd, many of them waving their arms loudly and shouting wildly, but the nuns, grandmothers and female students were completely invisible, just like The general was submerged by the stirred up waves.

"There... there are 7 women in total, and they are in urgent need of help." The strong Chinese policeman rushed over, anxiously pointing his finger in the direction of the street.

"Captain Jansen, lead your people to rush away from them, and the others are on alert." Lieutenant Colonel Jean-Perrier immediately issued an order, commanding a group of more than 20 National Guardsmen to rush to the place where the mobs were concentrated, trying to disperse the parade The crowd rescued the besieged female students.

However, the National Guard members were quickly stopped by the parade crowd. Many rude workers stood in front of them and pushed and shoved with the team members, angrily calling them "the running dogs of the rich" and "a group of idiots".

Although the national guards were equipped with guns, they didn't even have uniforms. Their deterrence was far less than that of the Tang Empire's garrison.

Several times in a row, Captain Jansen and his men were pushed out by the parade crowd, and some of them were even punched several times, and the peaked caps on their heads were knocked off.

In desperation, Lieutenant Colonel Jean-Périère took out the revolver he was wearing around his waist, and fired three shots into the sky, which finally calmed down the excited thugs and subconsciously flinched.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Captain Jansen led his men to break through numerous obstacles and rushed in. The situation inside made him dizzy.

A few nuns of the monastery were better. The female students rolled with more than a dozen thugs, their clothes were torn and tattered, their noses and faces were bruised and their faces were disheveled, and there were clear mud footprints on their clothes.

The National Guards swarmed up to push the thugs away, dragging and dragging the female students out of danger. Several nuns of the monastery, whose faces were already pale from fright, followed closely, so frightened that their legs were weak when they walked.

Seeing that the events that had sparked the situation were calmed down, a mob who was thrown to the ground became angry with embarrassment.When he got up, he suddenly took out a revolver from his clothes, ran a few steps, pointed at Captain Jansen who was covering everyone and rushed out, and pulled the trigger.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was a crisp gunshot, and Captain Jansen and a team member around him were hit by bullets. The scorching bullets immediately gouged out several glaring blood holes in their chest and thighs, and they fell powerlessly to the ground.

The sudden gunshots caused even greater chaos, and many parade crowds fled in panic. Some women and weak people were overthrown to the ground in the panic, and their feet stepped on them like raindrops...

When Lieutenant Mo Jiabao led a platoon of heavily armed imperial soldiers to arrive, he witnessed this scene from a distance, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to stop advancing, and quickly shifted into two rows of combat formations.

"Load the rifle bullets, aim at the front and shoot indiscriminately, prepare to... release..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Intensive volleys of gunfire rang out, hot bullets knocked down several people immediately, and blood spattered on the street, which caused even greater panic, and the marching crowd ran away.

Lieutenant Mo Jiabao did not act recklessly, but immediately suppressed the signs of riots with a decisive approach in accordance with the provisions of the military operation regulations.

Whenever someone shoots and wounds someone during a mass demonstration, it means that the demonstration has turned into a riot and a street riot.

If the suppression is not decisive at this time, the riots will spread rapidly, and one or several nearby blocks will be affected, and more people will be hurt. There have been too many examples of this time.

Washington, DC, White House
in the oval office

President Grover Cleveland listened to the briefings from various states with a solemn expression while smoking a briar pipe, his brows were deeply frowned, and he was no longer as vigorous as he was when he took office.

Fortunately, the "Jensen incident" in Philadelphia was suppressed in a timely manner and did not cause major disturbances. However, the demonstrations in other cities turned into vicious urban riots occurred frequently, which made him, the president, feel deeply powerless.

What he inherited was a mess. He didn't have many cards to deal with the chaotic situation because the government was heavily indebted and severely compressed the administrative agencies and police force. It could not even maintain a small army.

Since the signing of the defeat treaty in 1862, U.S. customs and finances have been supervised by the "International Creditors' Committee". Every government seems to be dancing with heavy shackles, trudging forward amidst the thorns.

"Well, I see, Hughes, as long as there is no more Gettysburg battle in this country, it can be assumed to be a smooth period completely under the control of the government." President Grover-Cleveland used Said in a weary tone.

The briefings from US cities across the states were as bad as ever.

Taking to the streets is a free right granted to the American people by the Constitution. Thugs who take the opportunity to make trouble during the parade will be punished by law, and may also be suppressed by the local garrison. The governor or mayor will deal with these troubles.

President Grover Cleveland is now busy lobbying all parties in the Congress to get the Citizens Equal Employment Act passed by Congress.

on the other hand
President Grover Cleveland frequently contacted the British, hoping to get more financial loans and political support, and no one would consider splitting his country unless it was a last resort.

Even if the status quo is barely maintained, such a notorious thing cannot happen during his tenure.

White House chief of staff Hughes saw the president's irritability, walked over and sat across from him in a chair, and said patiently;

"Mr. President, the people of this country are confused right now, they don't know what to do, and they need someone to take them out of it.

I know there is not much you can do, but it will be very meaningful to show up at the right time, instill correct ideas for the people in various public places, promote American justice, fairness and freedom, and convey a clear attitude to the society action. "

"Hughes, this won't solve any problems." President Grover Cleveland shook his head, pointed out the window and said;
"America's affairs cannot be decided in this office.

The former President Zhang used anti-corruption slogans to change almost all the bureaucrats in Washington and the states, and there are their people everywhere.

Even if I make a joke in the office, Daming Palace will know the next day, there are countless obstacles in the direction we want to work hard.

Not only the Tang Dynasty, but also countries such as Britain and France in Europe have also intervened in North American affairs.

We're just drifting in a boat that's going to explode at some point, with no oars, no food, not even a revolver, in a terrible situation.

I heard too many promises, but none of them materialized.

Maybe the British are right, to use the power of the people to overthrow all this, but this is the last ending I want to see.

Hughes, do you have any suggestions? "

Hughes was dumbfounded. The situation Mr. President is facing is that there is no way for God to come, let alone him?
