Chapter 255 Destroy the guillotine ≠ Abolish the death penalty

The entry ceremony of the liberator Alina was particularly grand.

The officials who stayed in Xida welcomed the [Liberator] and her followers into the city in accordance with the standards for welcoming a head of state.

The people of Cité are free and tolerant.

No one came out and said that [Liberator] was an honorary title and could not be inherited.

As we all know, the guillotine only pauses its work and is not actually broken.

Not many people like to talk nonsense in front of the guillotine.

Flowers, applause, cheers, and even excited girls rushed into the crowd to hug the soldiers of the liberators and give them kisses, all showing the romance of the Golden Kite people.

Some are happy and some are sad.

While people were joyfully welcoming the liberators, some people's lives were coming to an end.

The Jin Yuan people have already shed too much blood, so let's just let it all go today and kill everyone who deserves to be killed, so that future generations won't be in trouble.

The remaining officials know very well that a new era has arrived, but they have too many imprints of the Marco era on them.

They must find a way to distance themselves from the old times.

Alina's speech was not long, but her attitude was very sincere.

With their decommissioning and storage, an era has finally come to an end.

After completing their historical mission, these guillotines were temporarily sealed and served as evidence of Marco's tyranny, waiting for the new owner of the Cité.

In fact, Alina didn't look at anyone, but she looked at everyone.

Executing Marco's henchmen was the best solution.

Alina promised to let everyone go, but the left-behind officials in Xidai City did not agree.

Even if it is just an expanded revenge against Marco's party, no one can stand it.

Carlo is a mature politician who will not do radical things, will fully consider the interests of all classes, and order will be restored quickly.

What they fear most is that Alina will become a disruptor of order like Marco.

Countless citizens burst into tears.

Jin Yuan Kingdom and Xi Dai City have been in chaos for too long and cannot stand the trouble.

With everyone watching expectantly, Alina rode a white horse through the Arc de Triomphe and arrived at the high platform set up in Liberty Square.

The cheers gradually subsided, and the young people holding flowers looked enthusiastically at Alina, who was as high as their girlfriend and goddess in their hearts.

The mature and prudent man looked at Alina with a somewhat complicated look, and there was a hint of worry mixed with expectation.

There are many people inside and outside Xidai watching, waiting for Alina's opinion on how to deal with it.

"Free people, the suffering the devil has imposed on you is over. I am not a destroyer, but a guardian of free will."

This sentence sets the tone of the speech.

free? When their lives are not guaranteed, they cannot afford such high-end luxuries.

They had all attacked Marco's remnants, so of course they could prove their innocence.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are innocent or not, what matters is what Alina thinks.

She raised a large flag with three-color fleur-de-lis, and her soft but firm voice echoed throughout the square.

If it was Mr. Carlo who came, of course they could rest assured.

This speech will also lay the foundation for her policy policy.

Everyone has the illusion after exchanging glances with Alina that she is looking at them.

Her calm and gentle eyes swept across the audience, looking at the bustling crowd, without speaking in a hurry.

Who knows if Iron Fist's punch will hit him.

They rushed to catch all Marco's henchmen before Alina entered the city. Adhering to the principle that they would rather kill by mistake than let go, they sent thousands of people to the guillotine.

She's going to give a speech here.

In the eyes of everyone, who were either worried or looking forward to it, Alina stepped onto the high platform.

After the arcane guillotines built by Marco were cured, the remaining victims were pulled to the gallows for the final stretch.

This is a special performance technique. Although she is an art student, she has always been in contact with other art majors and learned a lot.

She did not shift the blame entirely to Marco, but let the previous administration also take the blame.

Marco is no good, that's for sure.

When Miss Alina comes back, they have the right to survive.

Miss Alina has skills and strength that are not inferior to those of her father, but she is young after all and has suffered so many grievances, so it is not surprising that she would do something drastic.

Cheers echoed through the sky.

They have had a very hard time over the past year or so. Almost everyone has relatives and friends who lost their lives in the bloody horror.

She's looking at me!

In this case, why wasn't his conspiracy discovered in advance and prevented?

After making insinuations about everyone and making the left-behind officials in Xidai City sweat, she changed the subject and began to comfort them.

"I can understand your difficulties. After all, even my father did not understand Marco's ambition."

The audience was silent.

She can criticize her biological father, but others dare not follow suit.

Pulling out Mr. Carlo also gives everyone a step down.

Since even the wise Carlo cannot see through Marco's wolfish ambition, it is normal for others to be deceived.

Alina knocked all the officials but also gave them steps.

Although all the officials were ridiculed by her openly and secretly, they finally let go of their worries.

Alina still wanted to use them, so she sounded the alarm for them.

If they had not planned to use them, they would have been taken away in the name of Marco's remnants.

Although it was a bit thrilling, we finally made it ashore.

Vice President Donovan, who was left behind, looked at each other and other officials, strode out of the queue, stood in front of the crowd and opened his arms, attracting everyone's attention.

"Liberator, you are right. We were deceived by the villains. Only you can see through everything and finally solve the villains' conspiracy. The country needs your guidance. Please respond to the voice of the people and lead us forward!"

In fact, Alina has already arranged for a helper among the crowd.

If no one understands for a long time, the arranged caretaker will jump out and say similar things. People are always blind.

In the current atmosphere, as long as you raise your arms and call out, there will definitely be a response.

Even if someone objected, they would not dare to say it at this time.

According to normal procedures, if the President is unable to perform his duties due to an accident, the Vice President shall act as his deputy.

Although Alina has the upper hand, she is not even legally qualified to run for president.

If the officials left behind in Xidai are greedy for power, there will be another bloody storm in Xidai City.

Thinking of this, Alina felt tired. She didn't like this.

The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, and it would be pointless for her to be modest anymore.

Jin Yuan people don't like to be modest in their style, and it's better to be tougher.

Fortunately, the left-behind officials are very sensible, which is best.

Except for the most important military power, finance, and personnel, she will not let go of it. She does not mind sharing other powers with others.

She is not Marco and will not be so arbitrary.

The exiles are commendable for their loyalty, but except for a few others such as Lomio, most of them are embarrassed by their big posts. To rule the country, the old officials and aristocrats were still important.

This is the current situation of Jin Yuan Kingdom.

The old forces exist objectively and are very strong.

Even Alina herself bears the label of the old aristocracy.

After her father and brother died, she had naturally inherited the family's territory and became the new Count Jacques.

Even if she wanted to cut it, she couldn't wash away the mark.

What's more, she didn't even think about cutting.

Donovan's petition received support from the masses. The passionate people chanted slogans such as "Long live Miss Alina" and "Please the liberators save the country" to express their support for Alina.

The voice of the people is above all else.

Even though it didn't quite follow the procedures, no one raised any objections.

The speaker wanted to say something, but was awakened by a sharp elbow from his colleague standing beside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a team appear at the entrance of the square, driving a carriage into the square.

The things carried on the carriage were covered with black cloth, making them somewhat mysterious.

Others might not recognize what was on the carriage, but he did.

The guillotine built by Marco himself.

These horrific instruments of torture claimed the lives of countless people, including the last emperor of the old empire.

The Speaker thought of at least a dozen A1-level officials of the same level as him being sent to the guillotine, and the fear in his heart was instantly awakened.

He shuddered.

Alina cast her gaze, and cold sweat broke out behind the Speaker, who was frightened to death.

Fortunately, Alina just glanced at him casually and didn't say anything.

Just when the Speaker was scared out of his mind, the black curtain on the carriage was lifted.

The sunlight shines on the guillotine, reflecting a strange light.

The guillotine lay there quietly, seeming to tell that cruel history.

Almost everyone's expression changed.

This thing almost made them think Marco was back.

Those who were close saw the guillotine's clearly curled blade, and their faces turned pale.

Of course they were scared when they thought about how many lives this thing had taken.

The guillotine had been washed with water and wiped very clean, but the water stains had not dried completely, so it looked like it had just been used.

In fact it is.

These guillotines had just exerted their residual heat and sent away all Marco's best friends.

The blood that should be shed is shed once and for all, this is a shock. The bloodshed every now and then was not a shock, but Marco was back.

The audience was silent.

No one knew what Alina wanted to do. Officials who had worked for Marco's government were even more frightened, thinking, is Alina planning to perform surgery on the spot here?
Just when the atmosphere was suffocating and about to explode, Alina sighed and said faintly:
"My father and brother were both killed by this weapon, and many of you also lost loved ones due to Marco's tyranny. This is an ominous weapon, please destroy it."

After receiving the order, dozens of strong soldiers unloaded the guillotine and slammed it down with hammers.

With a crisp sound of metal collision, the torture instruments representing terror, blood and killing were destroyed one after another under the heavy blow of the hammer.

Seeing this scene, the officials and people who had been scared to death finally came to life.

They all clapped and applauded Alina's enlightened move.

At this moment, there is no one who opposes her taking over the power of the country.

While Alina was consolidating her power through various means, Lisa, who was sitting in the auditorium, couldn't help muttering: "Destroying the guillotine is of course a good thing, but abolishing the death penalty will make gangsters more rampant. I always feel that it is not good. ”

Roland smiled slightly and said nothing, but motioned for Sif to explain.

Sif looked at Lisa, and a soft voice sounded to her.

"Miss Lisa, destroying the guillotine means abolishing the death penalty. Did Alina say this?"

Lisa was stunned and understood what Sif meant.

Alina didn't say she would abolish the death penalty, she didn't even change the law.

In this case, the death penalty in Jin Yuan Kingdom still exists, but it is replaced by a gallows, which looks less bloody.

Not everyone is willing to support Alina.

If you destroy the guillotine, there will always be people who mistakenly think that it is abolishing the death penalty and lenient sentences, and maybe they will be ready to do something.

Alina would rather have opponents come forward rather than hide in the shadows.

Politics is indeed too complicated.

Lisa shrugged and began to dream about the delicious food for today's dinner.

Jin Yuan's cuisine is very famous, as famous as Thalia's cuisine, and she is looking forward to the dinner.
