Chapter 2358： Butterflys wings (1/2)
”The police department claimed that they could not intercept more than 150,000 marchers, and they could only temporarily ensure the safety of key locations.” An official next to it said.
”150,000 people? Hehe, do they know what the concept of 150,000 people is? Because of an accidental factor, more than 150,000 people took to the streets to protest? How come I don't know that the moral will people have such a strong organizational ability? Okay, I won’t say much. Tell the mayor and police chief of Hanover that if they can’t quell the incident within 3 days and hold the perpetrators to jail, then just wait to step down!” Albert said angrily. Nothing pleased him. On the issue of compensation, Bavaria did not let go, and the Kaiser was hesitant! Now that the Social Democratic Party is a little lonely! The things discussed before have fallen into a halt, and Albert is really furious!
”It broke out like this?” At the same time, Crook, who was also in Berlin, also learned about what happened in Hanover. Originally, Crook and others were still thinking about how to find an excuse, but the excuse came out by themselves. And according to the information received, not only Hanover, but also other parliament-controlled cities have also experienced riots caused by dissatisfaction with the treatment of veterans.
”Telegraph to Admiral House and let him prepare to do what we have said before. Pay attention to proportions, and must suppress violent agencies such as the police and prisons. As for the National Army organized by the parliament during the period of civil unrest, the focus is more important. Take care!” Crook said.
That night, in the busy Hannover Police Station all night, Police Chief Paulson looked at the visitor in casual clothes with a complicated expression. Even if he was just sitting there, Paulson could feel the weight of the other person. The air of killing. This kind of temperament can only be tempered after countless battles on the battlefield. Compared with this kind of people, the so-called elites under his own are like a bobcat versus a lion.
Two hours ago, Paulson, who realized that the situation was a bit out of control, asked the local garrison for help. Then, an officer and this man in civilian clothes came to the police station, and the pseudonym Hansen The person asked to have an interview with himself alone.
”Mr. Paulson, I think you already know the ins and outs of this incident. The outbreak of this incident was caused by the government's harsh treatment of veterans and soldiers,” Hansen said.
”Yes, what the government has done is really wrong. But I need to make it clear that my duty is to ensure the stability and order of Hanover. Regardless of the cause of this matter, we must prohibit such things. Because it is straightforward. Affected the normal order of society, the demonstrators blocked the traffic, and accompanied by a certain degree of chaos, and they even blocked the government agencies, unable to work at all.” Paulson paused and continued.
”So, we need help from the military. Of course, I know that it is a bit too much for you to start with your former colleagues, but you should at least restrict them and send them home safely. I think many things can be discussed. My subordinates are also restraining their use of force as much as possible. I sympathize with their encounters. After all, I have an older brother who died on the battlefield.”
”We also don't want to make things uncontrollable.” The first half of Hansen's sentence made Paulson feel relieved, but then the second half of the sentence made Paulson feel tighter! ”But the reasonable demands of the retired officers and soldiers must be met, and the government's mistakes must also be corrected. From the current point of view, it seems difficult for the government to make up the compensation for the retired officers and soldiers through negotiation.”
”Are you saying that the military supports this matter?” As soon as he said this, Paulson felt a cold air from his tailbone directly onto his forehead! Disturbances by retired officers and soldiers and military disturbances are completely two concepts. The former is just trouble, and the latter is terrible!
