my wife is a consul

Chapter 446 May 25

The interior curtains of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows are tightly closed.

There was constant sound of gunfire outside.

Lu Ming sat quietly, with several walkie-talkies on the table in front of Yuluan beside him, listening to the feedback from everywhere, and marking on the map on the table.

Suddenly the crystal lamp went out, and the resplendent conference room was pitch black.

The Hovers family exclaimed, because they had no idea, Hovers and his family never left Lu Ming, so they also came to the meeting room of the penthouse suite.

This is obviously also Commissioner Zhang's temporary headquarters.

Soon the candlesticks were lit up, obviously Commissioner Zhang's people had been prepared.

In fact, there is a generator in the hotel, but apparently the electricity is used to relay military communication equipment.

Hovers listened to the beautiful officer's report, although he didn't quite understand it, he was secretly startled.

It sounds like Commissioner Zhang's subordinates, about ten people form a combat team, and the opponent is a thug with hundreds of people. There are more than 200 such combat teams, and there are more than [-] air strike teams. , responsible for supporting ground combat forces.

On the other side of the concession area, thousands of militiamen were mobilized to issue weapons for self-defense to block any mob who wanted to enter the concession area.

As for the Red Rose Hotel, even though the Montenegro flag was hoisted, it sounds like it is still the key prevention target deployed by Commissioner Zhang.

Such key prevention areas also include TV stations, power plants, two water plants, and gas companies.

More than a dozen combat teams are deployed near the hotel, and two air strike teams are on standby at any time, and the aircraft are parked on the roof of the hotel.

As for the dozens of gunmen in Hovers, they are all huddled in the lobby. Now there are three combat teams in the lobby, and the gunmen are responsible for "assisting".

Just now the voice on the walkie-talkie, the battle near the lobby was fierce.

However, several attacks by the mob were repelled.

Hovers smiled wryly: "Dear Ming, without the help of your people, the thugs have already rushed in. God, it's terrible."

Lu Ming nodded: "You are a big target! Besides, with the flag of the special zone, I think there will always be someone who will try it out, so I have to go back now, and many things can be dealt with later."

Hovers sighed again, "The warlords of the four provinces should have talked about it."

He has always been by Lu Ming's side, and now he naturally understands that this is not a pure xenophobic riot.

Lu Ming didn't say anything.

Hovers shook his head: "What will happen to us in the future? I think you will definitely help me. I mean, what about my friends from other Westerners in Shengjing?" He was wounded by a fox, and thinking of the cruel scenes of massacres that Westerners might face next made him shudder even more, and he shuddered violently.

"The Baron Rodson's mansion was breached by mobs!" Yuluan listened to the report from one of the walkie-talkies, and then inserted a small red flag on the baron's mansion on the map of the Central District.

Lu Ming looked at it and nodded: "Unexpectedly, the police station was the first to be compromised among these important targets, but Ping'an Lane. It is really safe and organized an effective resistance."

Ping'an Lane is a middle-class community of Westerners. Most of them have firearms, plus guards, etc., which defeated the mob's first attack.

"The operation to guide Westerners into the concession area was not smooth, and they didn't quite believe our propaganda." Yuluan said beside him.

Lu Ming nodded, there was no other way but to follow the fate.

……

It was daylight, and in the Central District, gunshots continued in some areas, but they had become sparse. On the street, mobs in twos and threes were turning over corpses and searching for belongings on them.

This night was called the "May [-] Incident" in the history of later generations, and it was also called the "May [-] Riot".

Beginning in the middle of the night on May 953, 5, the Central District of Shengjing almost turned into a purgatory. However, the mobs did not wantonly burn buildings, but only killed people and robbed money. This situation lasted for more than ten days.

During this time, many Westerners hid in the Montenegro concession area and became refugees.

Surprisingly, the resistance in Ping'an Lane continued, the mobs were kept out of the alley, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

……

The Red Rose Hotel has recently taken refuge in many Western refugees, and the magnificent lobby has become a refugee den.

Penthouse Suite Meeting Room.

Longbei Army represented Sun Chonggu, Beijiang Army represented Zhu Sangao, Haixi Army represented Liu Kui, and Anshan Army represented An Laoxi.

Moreover, Liu Kui, the brigade commander of the Longbei Brigade, and An Dashun, the brigade commander of the Anshan Brigade, were also there.

Except for An Laoxi, all of them participated in the poker game that determined the interests of the five parties.

Except for Lu Ming and the others, the one sitting in the main seat was Masayoshi Kawamoto, Minister of Japan.

Masayoshi Kawamoto contributed a great deal in coordinating the plan of the four provinces to carve up the property of Westerners in the Central District. Moreover, it is precisely because Japan agreed that after the expulsion of Westerners, it will not affect the trade routes and the introduction of technology in Shengjing and the southern part of the empire. Wait, Dongying Capital will help fill this gap.

"It's been fourteen days. Could it be that the so-called mobs can't take down Ping'an Lane, so you guys have been standing still and not coming in to put down the rebellion?"

Lu Ming cut straight to the point, not to mention hiding it.

"I think it's time to restore order in Shengjing."

Others were silent, Kawamoto Masayoshi nodded and said: "I agree with Commissioner Zhang, it's time to end all this."

Zhu Sangao from Beijiang also echoed: "Yes, it's time to end. Recently, many Western investors in our province have panicked. The longer it drags on, the panic will be contagious."

Among the four provinces, Northern Xinjiang Province is the one where Westerners have the most economic voice, but the collapse of the Shengjing system will obviously be the last elegy of their prosperous life.

Sun Chonggu said: "What are you panicking about? They are all vampires, and those who refuse to accept will be arrested." A trace of joy appeared on his face.

Zhu Sangao was noncommittal, but it was obvious that the voice of the high-level officials in the Northern Xinjiang Province was probably the same as Sun Chonggu's thinking. After the first day of junior high school, he would not be afraid to do fifteenth.

Masayoshi Kawamoto looked at Lu Ming at this time: "Commissioner Zhang, the baron's mansion raised the flag of Montenegro yesterday?"

It was done by an elderly servant in the mansion. He recently heard that those thugs chatted and said that flying the Montenegrin flag would get the protection of the Montenegrin armed forces. Moreover, the Montenegrin armed forces are very powerful, and the aircraft patrol the streets every day, which is scary to watch.

The old servant was interested, so he secretly found the Montenegro regional flag from the showroom of the mansion. It was hoisted up on the flagpole in front of the mansion yesterday at dawn.

Soon, an aircraft arrived and expelled the thugs who had occupied the mansion for more than ten days.

Glancing at Masayoshi Kawamoto, Lu Ming said, "There were immigrants from Montenegro asking for help, and we provided help, that's all."

Masayoshi Kawamoto smiled: "Of course no problem."

In other words, Montenegrins did not really participate in the occupation of Westerners' industries, and what they controlled were only some livelihood facilities, which is also a good thing for their own side, lest some mobs be jealous, completely forget the strict orders, and destroy livelihood facilities.

A mere baron's mansion is certainly the most luxurious manor in the Central District, but it is just a residence, which has a completely different meaning from a real estate.

Unexpectedly, the military power of Montenegro is so powerful, and the helicopters patrolling the streets every day make people frightened.

The weaponry and military literacy of its combat teams are also terrifyingly high.

Many thugs who were vicious and violent in the streets were shot dead by the Montenegrin armed forces.

Otherwise, afraid of this riot, it will be difficult to really end it when you mobilize it yourself.

Fortunately, the military of our country has ordered a kind of armed helicopter called "Flying Harrier" from Sanmai Company at a high price, and ordered [-] of them in one go, and also ordered [-] giant armed airships at a high price. , Waiting for the goods to be received one after another, the Black Mountain Army will not be a concern.

It is said that the kingdom's finances also flashed for a while, and it is a bit stretched, but it will be good to get through this period of time.

Today, we still have to respect their strength. At least, in Shengjing, the Montenegrin people are the most powerful.

In particular, I heard that the legions in the southern part of the empire are also ordering flying weapons from Sanmai, and the delivery date is very tight.

There is no way, Sanmai's various armed aircraft are the most advanced, so it is better to delay the delivery date than the best, isn't it?

But Sanmai is really ruthless, it's just an order, and you have to pay 80.00% of the total payment, otherwise, the delivery date will be greatly delayed, how can this happen?

This is to make a lot of war money.

Masayoshi Kawamoto shook his head and looked at everyone present, "Tomorrow, let's end all of this. In addition, the court is also ready. Over the past hundred years, the history of oppression by some Western villains in Shengjing is also a history of blood and sweat for Ansan people." , Therefore, this special court follows the Ansan traditional law."

The traditional laws of Anshan are almost the same as those of the dynasty.

The Anshan people were invited into this bureau, probably the biggest use is the establishment of the court.

Everyone nodded.

Lu Ming looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking about.

　I have a fever. I don’t know if it’s because I wore too thin yesterday and spent most of the time outdoors, or I really got caught, but I feel fine. Maybe it’s just a cold,,,,,
