"Our goal..."
"nature……"
"Join the process of exiting..."
One by one, gradually improved.
Xinhai had little interest at first, but later on he gradually began to actively participate.
"Considering that the enemy is too powerful at the moment, many contents are not suitable for public release. I suggest that we deploy them in echelons, and some contents are only circulated among senior members, and the contents involving gods and other related parts are only circulated among the three of us. Our public purpose is to serve the people wholeheartedly."
“Our organization is called ICP.”
Chapter 94: Civilian Liveliness
Jiang Ming and Xin Hai and his party were discussing the next course of action in the Coral Palace. Haiji Island was now quite lively.
The locations of yesterday's battles covered almost all the major population centers in the Coral Palace-controlled area. Whether people were sleeping at home or working the night shift in the factory, they could hear gunshots and explosions.
Those who are closer can hear shouts and even the sounds of large-scale human movements.
Except for some people who slept very soundly and woke up with a confused look on their faces as to what had happened, almost everyone at least knew that a large-scale battle had taken place last night and were discussing it with each other.
This kind of hot topic is always a big gossip among the crowd, especially in Haigi Island where there are few entertainment activities nowadays.
For example, in the factory now.
"Hey, you said that since we can come out and go home, the battle must be almost over. Who do you think has the upper hand now?"
"Isn't that nonsense? We don't have the advantage so we can go home?"
"That's hard to say. What if they fought off a small-scale sneak attack? There are more than 20,000 rebels. How can we defeat them all in one night?"
The worker who spoke first looked back at the clock on the wall. It was just after eight o'clock, and the working time was more than an hour earlier than usual.
As he was about to go home, he felt a rare sense of relaxation and began to chat with his colleagues about what happened last night.
God knows how they spent that night.
The night shift was going on fine when gunfire broke out outside. Soon after, before they could even finish the work at hand, the alarm started to ring in the factory and the garrison asked them to stop work and take emergency shelter.
After that, they were evacuated to a safe place and stayed there for one night.
They were only allowed to come out just now and were told that they didn't have to go to work and could just go home directly as the next shift would be there soon.
The worker who had just responded stopped what he was doing and began to carefully consider what the team leader had just said.
"Anyway, I feel like there's nothing to worry about. Look, they let us go back without rushing or taking our time, and they even told us that the next shift of workers won't be here for a while. If the situation was really critical, how could they be so calm?"
"It seems... makes sense."
While the two were talking, they took their belongings from the workshop, then followed the large group out of the workshop and walked towards the factory gate.
Not far from the door, the workers who were getting off work were all startled.
Although the large corpses had been cleaned up, there were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and in some places there were human tissues left by people who had been blown to pieces, including but not limited to pieces of meat, large intestines and the like.
There was even a smell of blood floating in the air.
"啕~"
Some people who had never seen this scene felt physical discomfort and nausea, especially the smell of blood in the air, which was so disgusting that they couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
Some who have seen war scenes are fine.
Even if it was a cold weapon, it was not uncommon to see blood and intestines flowing all over the ground after one slash, especially for those who had served in the army and fought on the battlefield. Even those who had killed hillbillies before had seen this scene many times.
They just looked at the pieces of meat in silence.
Some of them saw a tiny deformed steel marble among the pieces of meat.
Obviously, the minced meat was shot out by these things, officially called "7.62mm bullets".
They are not unfamiliar with this, maybe some of them are produced by them.
There were still a lot of shell casings on the road where we just came from, and there are also quite a few shell casings here now.
These small, simple metal parts they produce, combined with the strange-looking weapons in the hands of those soldiers, are so powerful?
This somewhat subverts their previous understanding.
They vaguely felt that the times seemed to have changed.
Swords, spears, halberds, etc. seem to be a bit behind the version.
In addition to the bloodstains and human tissue, there were a large number of bows and arrows stuck on the ground, so densely packed that it even felt difficult to step when so many of them were walking on the road together.
Well, it looks like Gong is not in a good situation either.
"Everyone, be careful and watch your step. There may be unexploded grenades. This is what I have in my hand. It's not a garlic mortar. It's a deadly explosive. If you find it, remember to stay away from it immediately and report to us."
At the front of the workers' team, a soldier who was cleaning the battlefield faced them, holding a wooden-handled grenade in his right hand, pointing at the grenade with his left hand, and introducing it to the workers over and over again without getting tired of it.
He now wished he could pull each person's ear and say it in their ears.
After walking through the bloody battlefield, they breathed in the fresh air without the smell of blood, and they felt better.
Walking further, closer to the workers' living area, the workers began to gradually disperse and prepare to return home.
The two workers who were just chatting were, by coincidence, neighbors, so they were still walking together.
I'm so tired, so alone
"Extra, Extra, Today's front page headlines, the rebels attacked many of our facilities, our army is launching a counterattack to retake the dock, Extra, Extra, take a look, the Haiqi Daily will continue to track the latest developments of the war for you!"
"Extra, Extra, the Liyue Southern Cross Fleet's residence was attacked. Captain Beidou led his men to counterattack. There were casualties among the sailors, which may cause a diplomatic incident."
"Extra, Extra, the entire first squad of the rebels surrendered, and the enemy commander Sada said that rebellion was not his intention!"
On the entrance street of the living area, the voices of newspaper boys shouting "Extra Edition" could be heard one after another continuously.
These hawking newsboys targeted the workers who had just returned from get off work.
These are the people who care most about current affairs on Haigi Island, and they are also the richest.
These workers will definitely buy their newspapers.
As expected, many people began to be attracted by the news in these newspapers.
This included two people who had just been frightened by the bloody scene on the battlefield and had not recovered for a long time to continue chatting.
They looked at each other, stopped and looked at the newspaper boy who was hawking his wares.
"Give us a copy of the Haiqi Daily." The two said in unison.
After saying that, the two realized something was wrong, looked at each other again, and added: "Just one serving will be fine."
"Okay, here are the newspapers for you two. I'll give you 100 Mora."
He handed Mora over and took the newspaper from the newsboy.
The two of them didn't even bother to go home and just watched it on the spot.
Seeing how fascinated they were, the newsboy consciously moved to another place to avoid being blocked by the two and affecting his business.
"Excuse me..."
Amid the cries of newsboys, the two began to learn the whole story from the newspaper.
Chapter 95 Proving His Innocence
Such a big change happened on Kaigi Island, and the battles took place in so many places, it is impossible to hide it.
This was the consensus reached by Jiang Ming and Xin Hai from the very beginning.
People will inevitably discuss the situation of this war, and in the absence of relevant information, it is not surprising that outrageous rumors will arise out of panic about the war.
If these rumors gathered together and caused panic, and then something unexpected happened or even caused turmoil, it would be very bad.
Public opinion must be well controlled!
In order to prevent the news from spreading further and further outrageously, under the orders of Jiang Ming and Xin Hai, the newspaper on Haiji Island gathered people early in the morning and published relevant reports in an emergency, spreading the news that the local faction's coup was defeated.
At present, the known and clear information has been compiled and published in these newspapers for people to consult.
Based on truth and effectiveness, and with the guidance of newspaper editors, we tried every possible means to stabilize people's panic and nip rumors in the bud.
"Look at it. I told you that fighting is still very beneficial to us. In just one night, we have wiped out thousands of soldiers on the other side. Now, why bother fighting? Just do what you need to do. We can't win."
The worker who had been optimistic before said to his friend beside him.
"Indeed."
Conservative workers were unable to say anything when faced with the detailed information in the newspapers.
I felt relieved, as I had been feeling a bit anxious.
It seems that these rebels are completely vulnerable.
Tens of thousands of people were chased and beaten by a few thousand people. If tens of thousands of people from the 101st Division were dispatched, wouldn't victory be a piece of cake?
The advantage is mine!
"It's really unexpected that the Fatui would directly intervene in our civil war."
"Hey, the Fatui, they are involved in all kinds of trouble. I tell you, these extremists would have chosen to launch a coup d'état most likely because of their instigation. Who knows, the current Inazuma civil war may also be related to them.
But they came anyway, and you see, they were beaten up and left in disgrace. The power of our machines should not be underestimated!"
"That's right. If I think about it this way, I feel that the work I do every day is more meaningful, and my body doesn't seem to be so tired anymore. The team leader is right. The direction of the war is in the hands of each of us. We are defending our own lives."
The two smiled at each other when they said this.
"But now I feel something is not right."
The previously optimistic worker now put away the smile on his face, stroked his chin, and looked thoughtful.
"What's wrong?" the other person was very puzzled.
"Some time ago, Lord Coral Palace and Lord Jiang Ming expressed their opinions on the situation almost every day. Now that such a big thing has happened, they only give some insignificant opinions. This is almost equivalent to not expressing any opinions at all. This is unreasonable."
"What's even more unreasonable is that those extremes...oh, now they are rebels. They used to curse each other every day, but now there is no movement at all. The newspapers only report these events. Now we can't tell what the two sides will do next. Are they blocking the relevant information, or are there other changes..."
At this moment, he frowned and began to think about the connection.
Coincidentally, the day shift workers in the factory who were just about to go to work were also discussing related topics. After everyone's discussion and brainstorming, someone also thought of this point.
"Perhaps, it's just that there was too little time, and the two sides haven't had time to express their views, or the newspapers haven't had time to publish the statements of both sides?"
"No, this isn't a very troublesome matter. Besides, the two sides are now in a standoff. Logically, this is the time to make a statement and launch a public opinion attack."
Another person in the factory shook his head.
The workers' attention was all focused on the news of the current coup and discussing the contents of the newspapers, so much so that production efficiency was somewhat reduced.
Amid the lively public scene on Haigi Island, there is official quietness and silence.
The people of Haiji Island don't know that the quietness and silence of the Coral Palace are the result of the big preparations made by the three giants of the Coral Palace.
Jiang Ming, Xin Hai and Wu Lang, in fact only Jiang Ming and Xin Hai participated in the discussion, which had lasted for several hours.
The establishment of ICP is a foregone conclusion, but the relevant charter is still under discussion.
It’s not just about the establishment of the ICP, but also about the complete reform of the Coral Palace.
They want to reform the Coral Palace into a modern government.
"Report! The quick reaction battalion's decapitation team has returned!"
The report from the messenger interrupted the discussion that was going on and brought some of the people who were a little too excited back to their senses.
Yes, it seems that the war is not over yet.
They still have to clean up the mess.
The few of them put aside the discussion for the moment and went outside to talk to the decapitation team.
As soon as they met, they saw Kentucky lying on a stretcher.
"Who is this..." Jiang Ming was puzzled and looked towards Xin Hai.
