District 9

It's about five o'clock.

The Police General Administration issued a stability maintenance order to Fengbei Police Station, and following the police superintendents in each district who had been waiting for the order, they began to dispatch additional police forces to the direction of the construction area square.

These police officers have hardly been home in the past two days. They are either waiting for orders at work or patrolling the streets. They are also very depressed. When setting off, almost everyone was swearing and expressing their dissatisfaction with the superiors.

At around six o'clock, tens of thousands of people gathered at the train station in the city center and the surrounding civil airports to start marches and protests.

But most of these people were not bribed or led to participate by anyone, but had a herd mentality. There was a lot of commotion today, and most of the people who had emotions in their hearts rushed over to take a look when they saw so many people gathered.

Mass gathering incidents broke out in many places, and the police force of the police station was soon insufficient. With no other choice, the garrison had no choice but to continue to send more troops to this side.

…

Around 7:30 p.m., a large number of armored vehicles and military vehicles blocked various intersections around the Memorial Square in the construction area, which was the most noisy area.

A platoon leader of the garrison stood on the fence and in front of the military vehicle, holding a loudspeaker and shouted: "You can express your opinions and gather people, but you can only move within the prescribed area..."

"Get out of the way, we have to go there, to the municipal government, the regional government."

An old man among the people was shouting.

"We can't go there. The government clearly stipulates that we marchers are not allowed to circulate outside the designated area. This is for everyone's benefit and to protect the safety of other people's property." The platoon leader soothed and shouted: "Please cooperate with our work... .”

"It's a shame to cooperate with you!"

Someone among the people shouted: "You soldiers, just think of those politicians as your grandfathers. Just do whatever they ask you to do. Don't you have any ideas? You say you are protecting your home and country, but who cares?" The life and death of ordinary people?! Once the civil war breaks out, the people outside the area will not be affected at all, but how will the people in the city live? I haven't gone to work for two days, will the government give me money to support my family?!"

"Get out of the way, you idiot. We need to see the district leaders and ask them what they mean. Do they really want to fight?"

"Step aside!"

"Step aside!"

As soon as the leaders shouted, fierce roars broke out from the crowd.

"Young and old men, please don't make things difficult for us. We soldiers must obey orders..."

"roll!"

"piss off!"

The crowd gathered in larger numbers and became more vocal, refusing to listen to the little platoon leader's words.

"Everyone, calm down and abide by the rules." Seeing that he could no longer control the situation, the platoon leader also began to threaten: "Otherwise, once the military control zone is attacked, the consequences will be very serious..."

"Seriously, you mb, everyone can't live anymore, who cares about your rules?"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brick flew out from the crowd and hit the middle of the soldiers.

"Everyone, don't do anything!"

"Rush over!"

Dozens of men rushed out from the crowd, kicked over the barbed wire and fences, and forced their way forward.

"Don't move, don't move and shoot again!"

"Go to hell, there are tens of thousands of people here, can you kill them all?"

The soldiers clashed with dozens of leading men, and the two sides were soon at odds, but at this time, no soldiers fired.

"Come on!"

Shouts were heard everywhere, bricks were flying, and the soldiers who were smashed were retreating.

At this moment, three men in very ordinary clothes pulled out guns from the side.

"Hang, huh, huh, huh...!"

Several gunshots rang out, and the platoon leader who was shouting was killed on the spot at the front.

The crowd was startled, and the soldiers began to retreat in horror.

"Kill him, rush over, and go to the political building!"

"Rush over!"

Dozens of leading men instantly defeated the soldiers who did not dare to shoot, and led the troops forward.

As the conflict escalated, the soldiers had no choice but to throw smoke bombs and shock bombs into the crowd.

At the same time, the high-pressure water cannons on the periphery also began to use their power, blasting at the crowd.

Scenes of this kind of conflict are currently taking place in many streets and areas around the Memorial Square.

…

Inside the headquarters of Jia Zheng Brigade.

"Hello? Okay, I understand, that's it." Jia Zheng answered the call from the headquarters and immediately said to the chief of staff: "Call the first and second regiments and enter the Memorial Square area immediately and ask them to maintain stability."

"yes!"

"I must tell you a few more words. You must not shoot at people unless you have to. The scale of this parade... is much larger than expected. The problem cannot be solved by force." Jia Zheng warned.

"Understood!" The chief of staff nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, the two regiments under Jia Zheng's brigade, totaling 3,000 troops, were assembled and began to rush to the Memorial Square in military vehicles.

…

In Fengbei, in the building of the General Political Headquarters of the Military Ministry, Lao He was sitting in his office, frowning and asked: "Have all the reports written by the official media been published?"

"Everything has been published. Not only our official media are speaking out, but the party and government media are also using various methods to calm public opinion, but the effect is not very great." The chief of staff frowned and said: "This time... the people's reaction is like this Excessive, perhaps indeed anti-civil war sentiments were brought to a head.”

Lao He frowned and walked to the window. After a long silence, he said: "If not, we will arrest a group tonight, and whoever takes the lead will be arrested. Order the garrison to organize the troops and suppress this wave first."

There was nothing he could do about Lao He issuing such an order. As long as the World War II zone resists, the problem will definitely be solved through military means, and the anti-war sentiment of the people is so strong that he cannot control it. He didn't want the Tianjin Port Massacre to happen, but it happened anyway, and the Old Triangle area officially opened fire... Therefore, he must take advantage of this time to solve the internal problems in District Nine.

In the face of this kind of pressure, it is impossible to show weakness, surrender, and listen to the opinions of the people, so the method of using bloodier methods in the process... is also a no-brainer.

Commander He turned around and his tone became tougher: "Inform the stability maintenance troops to open fire when necessary. Anyone who dares to make trouble or take the lead will be dealt with on the spot!"

"clear!"

…

District 9, inside the Government Affairs Building.

After listening to the report, Chief Xiang frowned and waved his hand: "Inform the police station to increase control. We must not let this wind blow up. We must cooperate with the military and political headquarters to suppress it."

"I personally feel that Lao He was a little too hasty in dealing with the Military Supervision Bureau this time. He could have laid the groundwork..." the district chairman said with a frown.

"He can't be in a hurry." President Xiang stood up and said: "Feng Clan, Lu Clan, there is no clear attitude. Fu Yang on the Old Triangle side fought, and the Gu Clan and Sichuan Clan also had some breathing time... If If Wu Yuanshan and Lao Zhou continue to delay, the problem in District 9 will probably not be solved."

The regional chairman paused and replied: "We still have to force Feng Xi, Lu Xi to make his position clear."

"When public opinion goes down, these two families will definitely take a stand." Lao Xiang sighed and said, "I just hope that the civil war will not last too long."

…

At the garrison site of the Fourth Regiment next to the General Administration Building of the Military Headquarters, a young man with a Buddhist bead in his left hand looked down at his watch and asked softly: "Have the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment gone to the Memorial Square?"

"Yes." A deputy battalion-level officer nodded.
