Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 488 Gunshots sounded
Sancia City is a typical southern continent-style city and the third largest city in Gaishan Kingdom. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has extremely beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, this tourist city is now in chaos, with government troops and the terrorists confronting each other.

"Colonel Zhou, this is a bulletproof vest. You put it on."

The storm came very suddenly. Anti-government militants from neighboring countries suddenly crossed the border, raided the city of Sancia, kidnapped thousands of expatriates from the empire, and took control of half of the city.

They proposed that half of the old, weak, women and children could be released first, provided that the Liang Empire must send someone to communicate with them.

They couldn't trust ordinary politicians, so they pointed out that they wanted Zhou Huan to be the middleman.

This was really a disaster coming from the sky while sitting at home. Zhou Huan twitched angrily after hearing the news.

In these years, he rested and recuperated and did not interfere in politics. Amid Bai Feifei's confusion, he continued to live a leisurely life because he really did not want to interfere.

Times make heroes. In the late years of the dynasty, a pavilion chief and a small landowner could easily raise an army of more than [-] people. However, in the heyday of the dynasty, whoever wanted to stand out would be doomed.

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

Why did the Qinglong Society disband 30 years ago?Because at that time, continuing to uphold the purpose of global unity was tantamount to asking for fish in the wood. When ordinary people felt that there was hope in life and that they could work hard and get ahead, any behavior that wanted to disrupt the status quo would be eliminated.

No matter how well intentioned you are, how strong you are, and how right you are.

Therefore, 70 years ago, when the empire and the alliance changed dynasties, they did not agree with Zhou Huan's proposition, and Zhou Huan did not force it. Anyway, history will prove that he is right, although he will pay a lot of price.

Such as a world war, such as a nuclear war, such as a global recession, but... this is the choice of the Sky Blue Star people, isn't it?

In the past, Zhou Huan asked those small countries if they were willing to become a member of the empire or alliance. They wanted to take advantage of each benefit but were pushed back. He asked the people of the empire if they were willing to open up new territories. Everyone replied that they did not want war and lived their lives well. Things are not better (the foreign wars of the recent decade were too deeply wounded).

It was not Chen Yunying and Tang Yueyue who chose to reject Zhou Huan, but the times and the people who rejected Zhou Huan's proposal.

Chen Yunying, Tang Yueliang and others must be responsible for their subordinates and supporters. When everyone can see the peaceful years in the next few decades and the coming golden age, why should they listen to Zhou Huan's radical strategies?
From the feudal era to the capital era, everyone sees a prosperous life, so just live your own life, just like Zhou Huan and the system argued back then.

"Sigh... Such a good city has been reduced to this state."

Someone on the armored vehicle sighed like this. The construction of Sancia City is not much worse than that of the second-tier cities in the empire. Whether it is high-rise buildings or local-style buildings, they are the result of decades of accumulation by the people here. Tens of billions of funds have been invested in it. , This beautiful home has been built, but now, the accumulation of countless people's life will come to naught.

Zhou Huan looked at this and remembered the conversation with Helen and Molasses.

In the later stages of the girl's rule, she has already felt some crises, especially the wanton behavior of capital, which is gradually engulfing the entire country. When she is here, she can restrict those people through personal authority and various laws, but what happens after she leaves? ?
"Don't think about it, I won't take action, and I don't agree with a big cleansing to make the world a better place. What you see is a crisis, and what the public sees is your old-fashioned, dogmatic and even unable to keep up with the situation. A large amount of money has been spent on irrelevant things, and even very incorrect behaviors such as denounced quality education, why are you so thankless?"

At that time, the empire and alliance established by Zhou Huan and his successors were in full swing. The glory of the empire shone on the entire planet, and the people cheered for the golden age. From the Black Continent to the Southern Continent, from the five oceans to the five states, The empire became a beacon of the times.However, with it comes the shadow behind the sun.

What goes up must come down. Once a new leader comes to power, it will be a carnival. The more things that deny the old antiques, the more the successors will get. Every decree that maintains the empire is abolished, and countless new rich will be created, while ordinary people Instead, they will cheer, just like quality education, just like giving more burden relief to children. People will be coerced and deceived and even cheer to smash the legal chains, turning themselves into slaves step by step.

"But what about our country, our alliance?"

The higher one stands, the further one can see. Those days were an extremely depressing time for the girls. What Zhou Huan said was verified time and time again, and the things they wanted to avoid happened one after another.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Zhou Huan said this, without any warmth in his eyes.

Because of a cold shot on the road, the armored vehicle arrived at the door of the press conference half an hour later than scheduled. When Zhou Huan walked down, the bright flashlights kept flashing, and the reporters waiting here wanted to put their microphones in their hands. From what Zhou Huan said, after the hostage incident occurred, it quickly shocked the world. No organization had ever dared to take so many hostages from the two empires on such a large scale at once!

A total of more than 700 people were held hostage. The terrorists threatened to kill everyone if they did not agree, and they even controlled half of the city. No matter how the imperial government dealt with it, the final outcome would not be good.

"Mr. Zhou Huan, may I ask why the terrorists chose you as their middleman?"

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about your mission, will you be afraid?"

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you refuse this request? Have you ever thought about what if you have an accident?"

High-definition cameras faithfully relayed the scene. In this era of entertainment to death, any sudden major event is a carnival day for the news media. Sharp questions were asked one after another, and reporters followed desperately. Zhou Huan.

This is Zhou Huan, this year's man of the hour, the richest man in the world (once publicly), a big star with countless fans.

"Look at the video!"

Someone suddenly said this, pointing to the TV screen not far away.

A man is pushed in front of the camera and a terrorist puts a gun to the back of his head.

"According to our agreement, Zhou Huan should come to us now. I don't want to listen to excuses like traffic jams. This is our determination."

Boom, gunfire rang out.
