Chapter 970 Forced to Stand with the Thugs
Sanders' men stormed into the wealthy area of the Rose City.
His men were originally a bunch of ruffians with almost no discipline. Now that Sanders had given the order to let the soldiers run wild, there was even less restraint.
Three or five people form a small group, looking for prey that they like.
Although the rich have hired some security personnel, these security personnel are mainly responsible for daily protection, at most dealing with gunmen and bombings, but not wars.
The main weapons they were equipped with were just pistols and assault rifles provided by their employers. Facing the warlords who used mortars and RPGs, there was naturally no suspense and they were taken away in one wave.
The entire wealthy area was filled with gunfire and screams.
Overnight, the entire wealthy area was almost turned into a scorched earth.
There were ruins everywhere, wisps of blue smoke rising, and clusters of sparks flickering. Sanders was standing on a hill in the middle of a square.
If you look closely, you will find that the hill is piled up with countless banknotes, gold, fine wine, luxury goods and works of art.
Sanders held an AK in one hand and a bottle of high-end rum in the other, and took a sip from time to time.
Looking at his men who were slowly returning, Sanders stood up on the hill of spoils, raised his AK, and shouted: "Rose City is ours!"
"roar
Many of the men shouted and raised their guns and fired into the sky.
The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the Rose City.
A reporter hiding in the ruins secretly took a photo of the scene and posted it on social media.
Subsequently, it caused an uproar on the Internet throughout the Beacon Country.
Especially the wealthy, who originally didn't care much about the riots that almost affected the entire country.
Because in the Lighthouse Country, the rich and the poor are separated, no matter how chaotic the poor areas are, they will not be affected. They can still live a life of luxury in their mansions of thousands of square meters.
However, everything that happened in Rose City was like a loud slap in the face that woke them up.
It turns out that the isolation measures they were so proud of did not seem to be as effective as they thought.
Many people immediately increased the security level, strengthened defenses, put up barbed wire, and increased security personnel.
The security company's business suddenly increased dramatically, and there was a situation where supply could not meet demand.
Some wealthy people feel that their luxury homes in the city are no longer safe, so they move directly to scenic spots or holiday farms far away from the city.
Those who are even richer will directly fly abroad or to their own private islands on private jets as soon as possible, waiting for the situation to change.
The media controlled by the financial tycoons spoke with one voice, calling the Rose City incident the darkest night in the history of the Lighthouse State, and strongly demanded that the Saskatchewan State Legislature send guards to quell the riots.
The President of the Lighthouse Nation, Zhiye, immediately stated that if the Saskatchewan State Assembly could not quell the riots, the federal army would directly intervene.
The Speaker of the Saskatchewan State Assembly immediately rejected Zhiye's proposal, saying that this was an internal affair of Saskatchewan and did not require federal intervention. Otherwise, it would be a blatant violation of the federal constitution.
If the federal army dares to set foot in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan will immediately hold a referendum to consider whether to continue to remain in the federation.
While preventing the federal army from entering the territory, the state of Saskatchewan mobilized the state's guard to go to Rose City to wipe out the rioters. Saskatchewan was once a state dominated by animal husbandry, and as it was close to the border, there were many cowboys and a strong sense of martial spirit.
The state guards have even more formidable firepower, with self-propelled artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters. They are even more powerful than the entire defense forces of some small countries.
After some training, a large number of guards set out from the base and divided into three groups to head towards Rose City.
Many curious people held their cell phones and continuously posted the videos and photos they had taken on the Internet, causing the marching route of the Saskatchewan army to be completely exposed to everyone.
Crowds of people from all over the world gathered together, holding their small stools and waiting for the show to begin.
Zhang Tuohai, who was sitting next door, knew about this first.
After confirming that the team had nothing to do with them, they immediately issued a statement expressing their deep concern about what was happening in Beacon and hoped that the Saskatchewan Guard would exercise restraint and not cause a humanitarian disaster.
Even the speech was copied from the Beacon Country, with only the time and place changed. His shameless double standards made him look just like the spokesperson of the Beacon Country.
While Zhang Tuohai was disgusting the Beacon Country online, Sanders from Rose City also learned from social media that the Saskatchewan State Legislature had actually sent guards to encircle him.
He was very disdainful of this. He was an old warlord who had fought for more than ten years. After all, he was from the regular army. Although his military discipline was not very good, his combat qualities were still excellent.
He has full confidence in his subordinates .
He simply ordered his men to split up into small groups and hide in residential buildings and important facilities. He threatened to engage in street fighting with the guards, turning Rose City into a meat grinder for the guards and making them bleed to the last drop of blood under Rose City.
In the afternoon, the vanguard of the Saskatchewan State Guard arrived at the outskirts of Rose City.
However, instead of heading straight into the city, they began firing at buildings within the city.
Boom!
A shell shot out and hit a building.
The building collapsed instantly and turned into a pile of construction waste.
Both ordinary people and Sanders' men hiding inside were buried in the rubble.
"How dare they open fire without reconnaissance?"
Sanders was shocked.
He didn't expect the guards to be so cruel and open fire directly at civilian houses. You know, this is not war-torn Africa, this is the country of the Lighthouse. Are these guards so cold-blooded? Open fire on their own people?
However, they still underestimated the Guard.
Boom! Boom!
Several more shells were fired, destroying several buildings near the street. Only then did the guard's tanks dare to move forward a short distance.
Then they stopped and continued firing , as if they were going to completely wipe out the Rose City.
This scene not only shocked Sanders' men, but also scared the residents of Rose City half to death.
If they continue like this, they will be killed by the guards.
"Why don't we grab our weapons and fight the guards?"
Such an absurd idea has arisen in the minds of many residents of Rose City.
The guards outside the city were clearly there to quell the riots, but the residents actually stood with the rioters to protect their own lives.
"This world is so magical." Many people thought to themselves.
