Chapter 484 There are bad guys among the masses, and there are experts among the bad guys

After all, the gas factory and the special zone can only accommodate a limited number of unemployed people. Now more and more citizens are joining in the chaos, and those who were originally on the sidelines have also found that the police cannot control the situation, so they have the courage to join in.

Their numbers, courage, and force are growing in tandem, and will reach a critical point at any moment, breaking through the guards' vigilance in key parts of the city.

For the royal family, there were already signs of everything, from public opinion to the economy, and from more and more reports that gave the king a headache.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, all the dissatisfied people gave up their patience. In fact, the people on the street might not have a unified slogan or goal. Even before the police came, the two factions that supported the Empire and those that supported Valois started fighting.

But this is not the point. What really shocked the royal family and the city hall is when these unruly people dared to fight on a large scale in the streets.

What's worse is that when the security team started to perform their duties in a rare and unrestrained manner, they were unanimously exported by both sides.

"This is no longer an ordinary mob. We must strike hard." Prince Otto still retained his rationality and was not as irritable as his brother. He summarized the reports from various places and concluded that there were bad people among the people!
Moreover, these bad guys either received the Empire's gold eagle coins or the Special Zone's coins. Of course, they believed that Valois would not do that, because all it could issue were various coupons and banknotes, which were too thin and easily torn to be used for wiping.

It is not known which group took the first action, but the other "activists" were afraid of being left behind, so they also joined in. The situation became more and more intense, and the whole of Byng became a pot of milk and oatmeal porridge.

Of course, there are also "social work volunteers" who are devoted to the Republic and do not want any money. They are the masters among the "bad guys" and selflessly share the advanced experience from Valois with the public - how to set up obstacles on the streets, how to organize the stormtroopers, and the summarized armed () routes:
First, gather the largest number of people in public places such as squares, unite to take down the city defense arsenal, and after obtaining the arsenal, the first targets are the City Hall, Post Office and Telegraph Office, granary and city gates.

After quickly capturing some high-value points, the city defense forces should have been assembled. At this time, it is necessary to organize superior forces to attack the palace, forcing the guards to be tied down in front of the palace.

As for the remaining targets, a small number of armed forces can be sent to fight and negotiate to persuade them to surrender. As long as the managers do not see the support of the guards, they will probably not be able to hold out for long.

"Telegram. Go inform eldest brother to mobilize the First Legion!" The second prince suddenly realized at this moment that the most reliable person was his eldest brother who was in charge of the army, but he could only mobilize the First Legion.

King Albert Ludwig said solemnly: "The First Army is already between Lanster and Munich. If it is transferred, what will happen if there are changes in the special zone?"

"That Rorschach is a venomous snake! Now our commissioner is still under house arrest, let alone handing over food. I think he is going to rebel!" If it were another lord, the royal family should have taken a heavy blow long ago. In the past, there was a saying that it was too big to fail. In Byrne, the Special District was too big to rebel against the kingdom.

At least the SAR committee has not made its position clear yet. If anyone in Munich dares to declare them traitors now, it would be a case of forcing them to rebel.

The Third and Fourth Legions were stationed at the border to guard against the Empire, while the Second Legion. Prince Otto paced and thought: "The Second Legion is in Kempsen. I think we should leave those refugees to the Special District to take care of them. Let the Second Legion send three brigades to the north, and the rest of the troops will return to Munich to maintain order."

He thought of something else: "But the garrison mage of the Second Corps is Bart! He is not only the royal consort, but also Rorschach's best friend. Is such a person reliable or unreliable?"

The king held his forehead and whispered: "Today, the bad thing is that you are in me, and I am in you." He was not only lamenting the "pig that dug up its own truffles", but also evaluating the guys in the city hall. The king knew that although everyone in the city hall was loyal to him, for those professional managers, loyalty to the king, the emperor, or even the parliament or the wizard was the same. Even if they changed their names, they still had to rely on them to maintain the governance of the kingdom.

So these people all have their own thoughts. Could it be that the security team really can't suppress the rioters? Albert is seriously skeptical.

"The only one who can restrain the mage is the mage. He is the only one we can count on now." The king suddenly said an option that the second prince had never considered:

"Eugenie is the great wizard, she is in Wurzburg. Just communicate with the chief of the Tower of Secrets. Feuerbach has always been on good terms with our royal family, so we can talk to him.

"If we can gain the support of the two great wizards, we won't have to worry about Rorschach. We can mobilize at least three legions and the riot will be suppressed quickly."

The prince's eyes lit up. "Besides, Rorschach also tricked the Tower of Mysticism in June. Feuerbach must be happy to make things difficult for him on this issue. As long as the Special Zone is stabilized, the source of confusion in the country will be sealed."

However, the prince still had one last doubt: "I think my aunt is willing to help, but Feuerbach. Those mages are all in the same moral state. If we are interfered with by the Tower of Secrets again..."

Albert closed his eyes. "The nobles in the past only sought protection and support from the Church. The world ultimately belongs to the powerful. If the Special Zone and the Tower of Mysticism can check and balance each other, and the Empire and Valois can confront each other, then there is still a place for us."

"I understand, father. I will send a telegram to Würzburg right away. You can leave here first. I will stay at the Munich Palace."

The king pulled himself together and stood up: "No, I will write to Master Feuerbach myself and invite him to the dinner."

He really wanted Feuerbach to come at noon, but it was too late for both the preparations and Elizabeth's side. It was even more unrealistic to ask the chief of the Tower of Mysticism to attend the banquet without prior notice.

Considering that the guards were doing their duty around the palace and there was no sign of the rioters breaking in, the king hesitated for a moment and decided to go a few hours later.

The sirens blew in factories across the Special Administrative Region, and the factories once again stopped work for three days in the name of a "fire safety drill." However, this time there was no relaxed and happy atmosphere, and all the workers gathered in groups.

Suddenly, the whole special zone was filled with a tense atmosphere. The workshop director used a loudspeaker to read a notice in plain language: "Byrne is in chaos now. The grain harvest is imminent, there are refugees eyeing it, and the king also wants it. Can we give it to him?"

The answers below were all in unison: "No!" Although many people were originally refugees, they did not think that they were being talked about, but instead seriously considered whether their fruits would be threatened by the rioters outside the special zone.

"Okay! Those who have participated in the militia and the pickets will step out and receive guns. The rest will form patrol teams and receive steel plates, explosion-proof forks, and scrolls. They are all disposable. Don't open them without orders."
