In the slums of the old city, residents who were unwilling to move came out of their houses one by one, holding simple weapons in their hands. Most of them were sticks, hoes, etc. Only some people had hunting weapons in their hands.

These people all gathered together under the leadership of the leader. Their faces were beaming with joy, as if they were attending a grand event.

Being able to defend their rights as citizens and force large companies to take the initiative to negotiate is a victory from any perspective. Beside them, some black people are friendly and helping, building barricades to help them protect themselves from the evil capitalists.

Harassment.

"Although these black people usually look very annoying, they still have some primitive simplicity." Two men wearing cowboy hats held cigarettes in their hands and talked with ease.

"Well, it would be great if they had been so obedient. Although it would be best to never see them. I heard that many black men were taken away by United Company recruitment. In fact, sometimes I think about it, who is the boss of United Company?

He's not a white man, but he's so friendly to black people. Why don't he consider our work issues?" Another man said angrily, "I heard that yellow people will be used in the reconstruction of New Orleans. He is simply crazy."

"The evil capitalists only care about profits, but they don't care who their workers are. Every drop of blood in their bodies is dirty." The white man who just started to speak nodded and said the theory he didn't know where he heard it from.

.

The conversation between the two and several black people who were building barricades nearby were captured by a man lying on the ground not far away using a Kodak camera. If it had been another occasion, it might have become a symbol of racial harmony in the United States.

Direct evidence, but if it appears in the same photo as the barricade, there may be another explanation.

"A small number of white people showed undue sympathy and stood with the vast majority of black people to resist the state government's decision-making. These white people are very stupid, but the black people who participated are even more heinous." Sheffield hummed unknown.

’s ditty, lazily making an accurate judgment.

If a cylinder is placed in front of a person, at different angles, some people see it as a circle and some people see it as a square. Everyone sees the truth differently from any angle. This is where the truth lies.

Charm in the mist.

At the intersection of the old city leading to the central city, there is a barricade composed of barbed wire and sandbags. There are such barricades on more than ten main roads leading to the central city. This is what these hopes to scrape from the United Company

Built by the unscrupulous people of the land.

And now, people who think they are defending civil rights are building defense behind these barricades, preparing to resist the despicable capitalists and defend their homes.

In the Oak Manor outside the city, there are also many armed men gathered. These armed men are affiliated with major companies. Each of them is equipped with a gun and they are neatly arranged in a queue. Not far away from them, Sheffield is fighting with

A dozen or so kids from rich families of the same age enthusiastically gave directions.

"According to our current estimate, there are more than 300 die-hard elements behind the barricades, and the number of black people is probably the same. There are about 700 or 800 people." The young man with a bow tie on his collar said easily, "Judging from the number of people,

Speaking of which, it's not a lot, after all, there are 50,000 to 60,000 people in the city to be demolished."

"There are half a million citizens in New Orleans. Just a few diehards will waste the precious time of tens or even hundreds of thousands of citizens. Is this reasonable?" Sheffield popped half a cigar between his fingers and asked.

Exhaling a mouthful of white mist, he said, "So it seems very reasonable for some citizens to be unwilling to face such consequences and support the state government, right? What we need now is a normal civil conflict, where patriots are shamelessly beaten

The gangsters beat him severely, forcing the state government to take action to maintain the original order in New Orleans."

"What do you mean by William?" McHale asked with a hint of thought on his face, "Shall we just watch the fun first?"

"It's not like watching the fun, let's stay aside and watch the shameless gangsters destroying the city! Justice, if it wasn't a little late, would seem less precious!" Sheffield said this and gave a slight pause.

"Take off the epaulettes of all company employees, but don't let anyone catch you on the details."

These bastards think they are fulfilling their civic duty and protecting their homeland against despicable capitalists. Sheffield also feels that this is a confrontation between normal planning and gangsters. These gangsters have delayed the precious time of most citizens. Why can't these people just behave?

What about the cooperation?

There is no question of who is right or wrong. Just like many people criticize US imperialism, if it were a country weaker than themselves, these people would still hit hard, open their mouths to exterminate genocide and shut up nuclear bombs. Put themselves in the face of US imperialism.

Benefits are being transferred to weaker countries.

This time, on the streets outside the city's barricades, an armed force of hundreds of people was deployed in these areas to guard against die-hard elements in the slums. Other armed forces were in other places in the city. After all, New Orleans' old

The urban area is not small, and the number of local die-hards is not very large, so manpower is needed to arrest these bastards. There are also many people scattered in other places in the old city. What if someone escapes? This does not leave hidden dangers

?

It is necessary to block the truth and keep public opinion and the government on its side. Sheffield feels that this matter is actually not very easy. At this time, someone needs to take the initiative to stand up and let the ugliness of these gangsters be exposed to the sun.

Conley led the Ku Klux Klan members who were summoned to act as true patriotic citizens, scolding these hooligans for not caring about the overall situation, wasting the precious time of many citizens, and even causing the paralysis of New Orleans. The longer the confrontation lasts, the more likely it will be.

More citizens will pay a greater price.

For most citizens in the city, this is right. When there is no harm to their interests, they should just watch the fun without having to do anything with themselves. But who will count the time lost due to this? Don’t you need connections to change houses temporarily? Rent a house and wait.

Don't pay?

Provoking disintegration has always been a necessary means of suppression. As a citizen affected by this incident, Conley hopes that these resisters will agree to the state government's plan and not waste more people's precious time.

However, when it comes to their own interests, most people are not rational and will not be swayed by Conley's few words. It is not important how the conflict started. What is important is that there is a conflict.

Inside the barricade, hundreds of men and women struggled together, making this incident officially move from Wen Wu No. 1 to Wu Wu No. 2. The two groups of people exchanged friendly greetings with each other. Along with Fake Bitchi, these people

There are still serious consequences to the attack, at least no one hits anyone in a fatal place.

But blood is inevitable. Although the conflict this time was not intense, at least the restless Sheffield looked through the telescope from another block and it was not intense. But as long as there was a conflict, it would be fine.

Conley, a true patriotic citizen, broke out from the siege of gangsters with injuries and blood stains. This scene was known to many people. Several men who were bleeding heavily cursed fiercely, "How dare these niggas

Beat us!"

Although the sound was miserable, it was okay. Of course, this was also the reason why these people were all men in their prime. They were all strong and strong, so even if they were punched or kicked a few times, it wouldn't be a big problem.

After Conley, a truly patriotic citizen, was attacked and said that most of the people at the barricade were black, the matter inevitably developed in another direction.

Just after Conley and the others left, when the gangsters in the barricade were celebrating, no one noticed that the perpetrators of the conflict were missing. Even the black group was missing dozens of people. These people had completed their tasks and left quickly.

is the right choice, because what happens next is not that simple. Bullets don't have eyes.

It took a day for other citizens to accuse the gangsters of being beaten for selfishness, and the news spread throughout New Orleans. Most citizens of New Orleans also knew that the people in the barricades were mainly dirty blacks and a small group of gangsters.

People are lazy and want to get compensation from the government, thus wasting most people's time.

Then it evolved into a situation where immigrant gangsters and black people got together and attacked unarmed citizens. These people were completely unreasonable.

The rumors have gathered two basic facts. The first is immigrants and the second is black people. The two factors combined are enough for most people to judge the truth of the matter.

While the public was furious, McHale stated that he would send people into the barricade to conduct one last negotiation with the people inside, hoping that drunkenness would not waste the precious time of most citizens.

In Oak Manor, Sheffield communicated with members of the state House of Representatives, "It is now obvious that even if the state police are dispatched to arrest everyone and sentence them, most New Orleans citizens will not

Those who sympathize with them should make a decision now."

"But William, hasn't McHale already gone to negotiate again?" The congressman smiled and said in a familiar manner, "Maybe the matter will be resolved immediately, and the state guard does not have to be dispatched."
Chapter completed!
