Chapter 1257 Hostage
Crave's plan succeeded. Although the reporter didn't say much after listening to the "truth" he told, her sympathy for Crave and his "honest people" had already been reflected in her words.
She also said on TV that her colleagues in Sacramento will contact the governor's office and the state legislator as soon as possible to determine whether the high-speed rail construction project that Crave mentioned is true.
At the same time, the people sitting in front of the TV and have been paying attention to this matter have long erupted the phone number from the governor's office and the state legislature office, and everyone is paying attention to whether this matter is true.
At this time, the eyes of the whole United States were attracted by the experience of the Crave family. Countless news media sent their professional investigators to fly to the California palace and Sacramento as quickly as possible. The purpose is very simple. They were to confirm from the governor of California and state assemblymen whether what Crave said was true, whether the California government really planned to build the first high-speed rail in the United States in California, and did the governor and parliamentarians really get money from which capitalists?
Thus agreed to their plan to build this high-speed rail.
Even not only the American news media are paying attention to this matter. It can be said that the news media around the world are paying attention to this matter. After all, this is the United States, which is known as the beacon of democracy. If the local government in the United States causes such a scandal, it will be fun.
Of course, the focus of attention of various news media is different. For example, the British reported this matter with a gloating heart.
Originally, Americans were just a group of rural bullies in their eyes. Over the years, because of the two world wars, this riot who they originally looked down upon actually replaced them and became the boss of the new world.
Over the years, these damn Americans have been riding on their heads, placing orders everywhere, treating the original world number one, as lackeys and soldiers, and commanding casually. If the British did not have any psychological gap at all, it would definitely be impossible.
So now that the United States has made mistakes, they certainly have enough reasons to gloat.
Germany, Japan, and Chinese media are paying attention to this matter from another perspective. Their media are more concerned about whether the high-speed rail should be built in the United States.
After all, although the United States is now owing a lot of debts, everyone knows that the United States is still the world's number one power. If this high-speed rail is really promoted in the United States, then it will be a big deal, and orders alone can be worth trillions of dollars. Everyone wants to make this money.
Because the United States does not have the technology for high-speed rail, if they really want to build high-speed rail, then everyone can get a share of the pie from this construction plan and get a part of the orders, which will make their own enterprises full of food.
So their reporting perspectives are from another aspect, so so far, the reports on this news are varied and everything they say.
At this time, Jin Muchen and Johnson, the police teams of the entire news incident, were surrounded by the "volunteers" who came to various parts of the United States to support Crave and could not move at the gate of the Red Valley Ranch.
At this time, except for Jin Muchen and Jesse, Johnson and the police officers under his current management were under great pressure.
There were more and more people surrounding them outside. It turned out that they were not afraid because the people surrounding them outside were a group of mobs, the cowboys and herdsmen from nearby farms, all of whom were old, weak, women and children.
But starting this morning, all of these people have been replaced. Now the people surrounding them have seen them through the telescope. They are all strong men with big and thick faces. These guys are all fully armed. Although their equipment is not very unified, their equipment is not too bad.
Compared with the standard equipment of the US military, although it is a little worse, compared with the equipment of law enforcement departments, the equipment of those guys is no less than that.
And the most important thing is that they all know that these people are not those scattered soldiers. Many of them have undergone professional military training. Many of them are retired soldiers in the army. Their military qualities are even higher than those in their police force.
This can be seen from what they observed, the positions of the snipers arranged by those guys.
At noon, Crave's revelations had caused a stir in the United States. More and more militia organizations around here began to claim that they had come to support Crave. With the arrival of these people, the strength of the guys surrounding them was further enhanced.
At the beginning, they could use telescopes and counters to count how many people there were, but later, more and more people from the other party were, and they could not count them at all.
Moreover, their police helicopters could fly over their heads, which was a disguised protection for them. However, later, the damn militia actually brought several helicopters, and kept circling in the air. The most fussy thing was that the other party had to make various dangerous actions around their helicopters many times, which led to their police helicopters having to give up their protection and flew back to Bakersfield City later.
After the helicopter left, everyone's morale was very low because everyone thought they had been given up. If they continued like this, they would just wait for death.
At this time, there was still no order, that is, they did not order them to break through, retreat, and no reinforcements were given.
When they were in contact with the headquarters before, someone could still talk to them, but when they were in contact with their superiors recently, the other party just said that they would wait for further instructions here.
Everyone knows that the above is in trouble now, and even says that they don’t know what to do.
Because the situation is clear now, the "truth" announced by Crave has completely aroused the anger of the American people. Now more and more ordinary people are gathering here, and there are probably thousands of people carrying guns.
If the state government does not have a clear statement and the city of Bakersfield lets them retreat like this, it will probably be easy to make those who are resentful to the government make extreme actions. If someone fires on the way to retreat, it will definitely cause a war, one another civil war since the United States established a civil war.
The American people are numerous, but they only have about 200 people, and the weapons and equipment levels of both sides are similar. If they really shoot, they can deal with them in minutes.
If there is a real step to the point, the situation can be said to be uncontrollable.
Therefore, the InterContinental Mounted Police Headquarters in Bakersfield did not dare to give Johnson and the others any orders, so they could only wait for assistance on the spot. After all, if such a major accident occurs, they will not be able to bear the responsibility.
So the police trapped here are now becoming hostages to those people. Everyone is waiting for news from the state government and wants to confirm whether the state government will continue to support those capitalists.
The police also knew their current situation. They could only curse the current situation, but there was nothing they could do. No one dared to act rashly.
Some people even raised dissatisfaction and doubts about Commander Johnson, but these dissatisfaction and doubts were quickly suppressed, because at this time, all the people surrounded here knew that this was not a good time to have internal conflicts. If that group of people had not yet entered, they would be in chaos and the matter would be very serious.
You should know that there are not only militia helicopters in the sky, but also many TV news station helicopters are wandering over their heads.
These damn news vultures can be questioned in their mouths. Although they are paying attention to these besieged police officers, they will not give them any sympathy, because in their opinion, these police officers are all executors of tyranny and accomplices, which is the concept they instilled in the common people.
Johnson and several police leaders lost their joy yesterday at this time. At this time, they were all sitting in the tent dejectedly watching the TV news.
However, the news they are watching is not a debate about the construction of the bullshit high-speed rail. They don’t care about the high-speed rail at all. What they care about now is the people who are constantly being interviewed in front of the camera.
This is a live interview with reporters. Their interview team was among the crowd of people surrounding them. The reporters carried long guns and short cannons and kept interviewing those people's views on this matter. They were all tall and strong men with big beards, and they were fully armed. They spoke as vague as their tongues were hanging up. Some people could even tell that they were just a bunch of drunks.
