Chapter 755 Post-war pattern (repair)
The Missouri Penitentiary was officially opened in 1835. The entire exterior looks like a medieval castle, covering an area of 47 acres. It was once the largest prison in the United States, housing more than 5,000 prisoners. Among the prison trusts,
It can be regarded as the largest prison after the slave owners established the prison trust, and now houses nearly 10,000 prisoners.
The entire prison is strictly allocated according to the area of one prisoner per square meter, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack! After getting off the bus from St. Louis, a mighty motorcade was speeding on the road, and Jesra, wearing a mask, came to the outside of the prison.
"Director, you came here in person." Berzin looked at Jesra nervously. The bodyguard leader and the boss were inseparable. Now appearing here means that the boss already knows what is going on here.
"Don't be nervous! How is the situation now?" Jesra waved back. The black gold employees in the convoy behind him were unloading guns and ammunition. They stared directly at the castle in the distance, thinking about what if the boss made a ghost movie or something.
Yes, this is a good filming location.
"The criminals have taken control of the entire prison. Our guards are either dead or have withdrawn. There may still be some people who are being held hostage. I only arrived yesterday. I heard that the prisoners inside want to talk to the government?"
Erjin heard that Jesra had no intention of blaming him, and immediately introduced the situation in the prison.
Because the Missouri Penitentiary was built very early, it was the original stronghold for the westward expansion, not to mention the living conditions inside. As soon as the prisoners leave the cell, they are not allowed to speak, they are not allowed to look up at others, and they have to do heavy manual labor every day.
The reason why the environment is so bad is to make the prisoners never want to come back after they get out. However, for many people, they don’t even have the chance to think about it again. The ten-year sentence back then was no different from a life sentence, or even more similar.
Death is really delayed, and many people are tortured to death or exhausted in less than ten years.
There are huge underground cells inside the prison, which are made of marble and are used to punish prisoners. There are no windows inside. There are ten similar underground cells, which usually hold criminals who want to escape.
"Previous renovations to the prison included building steel cells, but a riot was still successful? What does the warden here do for a living?" Jesra didn't have time to hear the whole process of the riot. He only knew about his boss,
What I absolutely don’t want to hear now is that prisoners in prison can negotiate terms with the state government, let alone the federal government.
"The warden seems to be dead." Seeing Director Black Gold's furious look, Berzin couldn't help but speak softer.
"It would be better to die!" Jesla said silently, "Now that they have occupied the prison, it is impossible to completely hide it from the state police, but every criminal inside is a virus carrier, and they cannot be let out.
.It will take two or three days for most of our manpower. Let’s negotiate for time first, and wait until our cannons arrive to level this prison.”
"I'll find someone to go in and negotiate right away, and find out what's going on inside." Berzinan endured the horror in his heart. It's not that he didn't know the Black Gold Company's work style, but it was usually done abroad, and he could do the same at home.
What?
Taking advantage of the gap between these two or three days, Sheffield released the news through the League of Nations, saying that prisons everywhere were places where the flu was raging, and that police departments were arresting people indiscriminately and indiscriminately carrying out virus carriers.
Putting them in prisons has caused criticism that many prisons have become outbreak sites for the virus. Now many prisons cannot release these criminals, otherwise it will aggravate the spread of the domestic influenza pandemic.
"Will most people believe your explanation?" Anne held the phone tightly and asked with some worry.
"The explanation is not to make others believe it, but to shirk one's own responsibility. At the same time, it is to find an excuse for the large number of deaths of prisoners. No matter what, I have to wipe the butt of the Black Gold Company!" Sheffield sighed, "I will report it to the police for ten points.
The number of deaths of one is reduced to two-thirds, and the rest are people who died of the pandemic. People are dying every day across the country. There is no reason why all the prisoners are alive. Everyone knows where the prison is. More people die.
Very normal.”
"Okay!" Annie hesitated after hearing this, "Whenever you come back, I will miss you. I feel like a girl, you can try it then."
"It must be safer no matter what." Of course Sheffield heard the implication. His wife had already sent an unmistakable signal. A woman needs a man to hold her arms to sleep. It is not a problem for her husband to be floating outside all the time. It is predictable.
Once the slave owners returned to Arlington, there would definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers.
When the slave owner thought about that scene, he felt anxious. All the women now lived in Arlington.
On February 12, it was rainy. Outside the Missouri Prison, Jesra sent someone to shout that all the criminals must return to their cells immediately, otherwise he would be rude. As expected, there was no response.
There is nothing to say at this point. In terms of light artillery, the army's artillery is mainly the French 75mm mountain cannon. It is enough for a fortress-shaped prison. Jesra gave an order and twelve mountain cannons were fired at the Missouri Prison.
The shelling began, and with a loud noise, the shells hit the battlements of the Missouri Penitentiary. The boulders were shattered, and the fragments shrouded all the serious prisoners who did not take it seriously.
The scene of limbs flying and blood appearing in the mist made criminals who thought they could negotiate with the government suddenly fall into the ice. These so-called serious criminals in the Missouri Prison, and the black gold companies that are killing people, setting fires, and trafficking people all over the world.
In comparison, it is as innocent as a newborn baby.
Jesra has already blocked the state guard at the perimeter, and has contacted St. Louis, saying that once these criminal riots successfully enter the society, they will be walking pathogens one by one, which will only make the raging influenza more serious.
At the same time, he said that once the attack started, not many people would die. The criminals at best had some guns in the prison. Facing the artillery bombardment, it would be difficult to make up their minds to fight to the death.
After firing more than a hundred artillery shells, three thousand Black Gold employees with bayonets launched a charge and rushed into the prison on the ruins of the prison castle. Two hours later, the entire Missouri Prison had returned to the Black Gold Company.
Under control.
"Take the photo and spread it to all the subordinate prisons." Jesra spat, turned around and said, "Call Oak Park and tell the boss the news."
"That's it? More than six hundred people died. It's not such a difficult number to deal with. Just hang up if nothing happens." Sheffield put down the phone. The so-called extremely vicious criminals are not afraid of death at all.
I counted on my fingers and rounded to five hundred people. I reported it as one-tenth and multiplied it by two-thirds according to the one drop of blood rule. The next day, the Chicago Daily Times published the news of the riots in the Missouri prison and the reason.
A flu patient appeared in the prison. The criminals tried to escape, but were blocked by the heroic state guards, preventing the worst consequences of the pandemic in Missouri. The entire process resulted in the death of thirty prisoners.
But compared with the terrible consequences of a large number of criminals flooding into society, it is still comforting.
"Tell the wardens of various places which prison is having trouble, and I want you to look good." Berzin threatened fiercely when sending telegrams to various places. "Even if they die, the criminals must die in the prison, or near the prisons of various places."
First dig a big pit, throw the dead ones in, and bury them on the spot."
At this time, news from the Paris Peace Conference needs to be used to prove that the current situation in the United States is not a small good but a great good. This is what Sheffield did, letting the information explosion dilute the citizens' attention to the Missouri Prison Riots. At the same time, extra personnel were sent to surround the Missouri Prison.
Get up and calm down the trouble as soon as possible.
The worst case scenario is that if someone is held accountable in the future, the prison trust will be returned to the state. Anyway, after the pandemic is over, the prison trust will be of little use, and it is not particularly profitable.
The Paris Peace Conference was of course an extremely important matter. Every day the three parties were blaming each other and blaming each other. The United Kingdom and the United States were only willing to find ways to deal with other members of the Allies, but they were unwilling to dismember Germany.
On this issue, Lloyd George showed no accommodation as the war was going on, and threw aside the guarantees given to the French. On the German issue, Britain and the United States adopted a common position.
"Wilson is a pro-German, just like the businessman in your country." Clemenceau said angrily to President Wilson, "No French prime minister will sign a treaty that does not annex Saarland to France."
"Do you want me to return home now?" President Wilson retorted.
"No, I want to go home now." Clemenceau said not to be outdone, "This is what I am thinking now."
"Don't be so impulsive!" Lloyd George said in the middle, "Why don't we talk about other issues now."
On the colonial issue, the British Prime Minister and the French President stood together and tried their best to maintain the aloof status of Britain and France on the colonial issue and the world status. The two people drew a pencil on the world map, which was the birth of a country. History.
Nothing like this had ever happened before. Under the pencils of these two people, the future world structure gradually took shape.
"The punishment for the Ottomans is too harsh! But I agree with the self-determination of the Eastern European nations." Wilson paused at this. "As for the current issues on the west coast of the Persian Gulf, the federal government and I have our own ideas."
France and the United States reached a consensus on this issue. Because the British were obviously too greedy in the distribution of colonies, France and the United States jointly carved out a piece of land in the territory of the Ottoman Empire. President Wilson said that the land on the west coast of the Persian Gulf was only temporary.
