Chapter 374: Chaos in the Empire
I still remember that at the end of the election four years ago, it was the Elephant Party that questioned the winning Donkey Party.

Some rednecks even stormed the Capitol, causing a major incident that shocked the world.

This was the first time in the history of the empire that the Parliament Building was occupied by its own citizens.

Due to various factors, this election campaign eventually turned into a fight between two women.

But this time the Elephant Party has the upper hand. Will the rednecks who originally supported the Elephant Party become quiet?

No, they were still not quiet.

Although they won this time, the losers refused to admit defeat and appealed to the Supreme Court Justice and attacked the elected Ms. Carey in various public opinion forums.

The Blue Particle Organization even produced evidence that Ms. Kale might have accepted support from Li Tang's companies.

In short, all signs indicate that the Democratic Party is determined not to acknowledge the results of this election.

How can the party’s rednecks tolerate such a situation?
They must roar like a winner to the Donkey Party supporters!

This roar started out as a verbal dispute, but with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, it quickly evolved into a physical fight.

How can the rednecks bear to be beaten?

Of course they have to defend their right to speak with guns in their hands!

Once the gunshots started, they could never stop.

The entire empire is in chaos!

Due to different positions among the states, some states quickly took sides, while others are still wavering and want to wait and see.

Ms. Kale came out and shouted, "Everything is for the new world. We will fight to the end without hesitation!"

Not to be outdone, Ms. Harley solemnly declared: "The empire's two hundred years of institutional integrity must not be tarnished by vote-buying and fraud. We will fight to the end for the eternity of the empire!"

Both leaders were determined to fight to the end, and their supporters below instantly became one.

From the day the election results are announced until January of the following year, when the new boss is sworn in.

Beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere in the empire, and the free empire allows gunshots to be heard every day.

The empire's economy was already struggling in crisis, and under these circumstances, it was rapidly sliding into the abyss.

The statistical results at the beginning of the year came out, and the empire’s economic growth rate last year was an unprecedented -10%!

As the chaos intensified, Michelle Brick of the Imperial Military officially issued a statement on behalf of the Turret.

Declaring that the Imperial Military cannot allow the results of vote buying to tarnish the sacred Imperial system, the Imperial Military demands that the Chief Justice complete the review of the election results as soon as possible.

In order to ensure that the previous extreme behavior of the rednecks does not happen again, the imperial military will impose a full martial law in Washington, D.C.

And all members of parliament are required to stay in the Parliament building and wait for the final, fair, just and open review results from the Chief Justice.

The Imperial Military will provide security for all.

After this statement was issued, the entire empire seemed to have pressed the pause button in an instant.

It was not until a few hours later that Ms. Kale suddenly launched an angry attack, saying that the Imperial Military was interfering in the sacred Imperial election.

This is a blatant military coup, and the Elephant Party will never bow to such an act.

She would never accept the imperial military's behavior of restricting her freedom and the freedom of all members of parliament. For this reason, she has decisively escaped from Washington and is currently staying in a safe place.

The video of Ms. Kale's speech was not broadcast on the two major cable TV networks in the empire, but it was released on the news channel of the Dream Shadow platform.

This video became the top news on the same day and spread across the entire blue planet at the speed of light.

The whole world was stunned. Who could have imagined that a military coup would happen in the once democratic beacon country?

But after this video, many videos posted by local people in Washington appeared.

There were indeed a large number of imperial troops armed with live ammunition blocking every street entrance in Washington, and all important government departments were also filled with soldiers.

Everyone is asking, where is Ms. Kale hiding?
Time passed in torment for many people.

At this moment, in the building at 2201 C Street in Foggy Bottom, Bristol looked at Michelle Brick in military uniform with a tired face.

"How did she escape?"

Michelle Brick's face showed a mixture of apology and confusion.

"I have assigned a special operations battalion of Marines to protect Ms. Calle.

The commander of the combat battalion, Colonel Philip, was once my subordinate and has rich combat experience.

He is even a member of the Donkey Party, which is why I put him in charge of this matter.

I never thought that this guy would bring an entire combat battalion to escort Ms. Kale away..."

Bristow sighed, waved his hand to interrupt the old man's explanation, and asked again: "So a fully armed force left the Washington area.

Its whereabouts should be easy to find, why is Ms. Carle's location still unknown?"

Michelle Brick smiled bitterly and said, "Like I said just now, Colonel Philip has a wealth of combat experience. Therefore, the combat battalion we tracked down was a trick he arranged.

He and Ms. Kale had already fled, and we can only wait for her to come out to find out where she is now."

Bristol rubbed his temple. Originally, the plan was very detailed, with one thing leading to another.

As long as the military controls the situation in Washington, the Supreme Court's final ruling will be what the Democrats want.

By then, the lawmakers who are under house arrest in the Parliament Building may only be able to nod in agreement.

As long as Ms. Kale from the Elephant Party is in hand, she will definitely come forward to admit to vote-buying and bear the corresponding charges.

After that, he will be thrown into prison and will never be released.

Everything in the empire is still controlled by these elites, and neither the plan of destroying both sides nor the plan of colonizing Mars will be affected.

Now that the dust has settled, the riots of the common people outside will soon be quelled.

When Ms. Halle comes to power, if she throws out one or two measures to benefit the people, these common people will change their stance and support Ms. Halle.

Unexpectedly, what Michelle Brick had planned never occurred to him, but something went wrong with the troops he had arranged to control Ms. Kale.

Now that Ms. Kale has escaped from Washington, looking at the current situation of the two factions in the empire, I am afraid that her statement will only add fuel to the fire.

The empire might really be in danger of breaking apart.

Bristol couldn't sit still when he thought of this.

"General Brick, since Colonel Phillips can completely conceal his true thoughts right under your nose.

Among those who hold power in the military at this moment, who do you think will stand on Ms. Kalai's side?"

Michel Brick felt quite ashamed. He had promised that he could handle everything with the military and make the military stand on the side of Bristol and other elites.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong, and it was the biggest mistake.

At this moment, listening to Bristow's question, he thought carefully for a while before saying: "Currently in the Empire, Air Force Commander Joe Bui, Marine Corps Commander Eric Sanchez, Army Chief of Staff Zokor George, Navy Chief of Staff Richard Mullen and others have expressed their full support.

The commanders of various theaters, whether in the empire or not, were also supportive.

I have made it very clear to them long ago. They are all veterans of battle and understand that it is not appropriate for the empire to change its leader at this moment.

As for officers at all levels under the navy, army, air force and marine corps, they are difficult to control.

If this were not the case, Colonel Philips' betrayal would not have happened."

In view of the importance of the Mars colonization plan to the empire, the Imperial Air Force, like the Great Mars, officially merged with the previously established Empty Space Force to become the Aerospace Force.

The original Air Force Chief of Staff was also changed to the Commander of the Aerospace Force to take command.

Bristow nodded slightly and said, "If the commanders of each theater can support us, then we don't have to worry too much about small-scale rebellions by middle and lower-level officers.

However, you must be prepared to quell the rebellion at any time. Are the corresponding troops ready? Will there be no more unexpected situations that get out of control?"

Michelle Brick said quickly: "Don't worry, the anti-rebellion army is the 82nd Airborne Division that has been undergoing training after replacing new weapons and equipment in the mainland.

The division commander, Major General Heineken, is a close friend of mine for many years and will absolutely support us."

Bristow was relieved when he heard that the 82nd Airborne Division was responsible for the mobile counterinsurgency force.

This unit can be regarded as the ace of the Imperial Army. Although it is now said to be undergoing training on the home soil, in fact it is training and integrating all new weapons and equipment such as power armor, drones, and robot warriors in order to significantly improve its combat effectiveness.

Such an ace among aces can quickly suppress and eliminate even an organized rebel force.

However, due to the unexpected situation of letting Ms. Carey run away, Bristol still added some explanation.

"In addition to the 82nd Airborne Division, you'd better prepare more reserve forces and prepare for the worst."

"Okay, I will prepare three more armored divisions and two air force wings to ensure that any rebellion will be eliminated and suppressed as soon as it occurs."

Just as Michelle Brick finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Sir, there is an emergency to report."

Bristol immediately said, "Come in."

It was Bristow's secretary who came in, "Sir, I just received a message that Admiral Connor, the commander of the Southern Command, announced his support for Ms. Kalai and his firm defense of the Imperial Constitution.

After his statement was released, a group of military officers quickly followed suit.

The Army's 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, and at least 50 brigades have announced their support for Ms. Calle.

"What?!" Bristol and Michelle Brick were both shocked.

According to this situation, nearly half of the army's troops have sided with Ms. Kale. When did this woman become so appealing?

No, it’s not that this woman has appeal, it’s the elites in the Xiang Party who have exerted their power.

Bristol sighed inwardly again. It was not like he had not discussed this with those guys, but he was unable to convince them to support the plan of destroying both sides.
