Chapter 148 Sparks of Fire
Woo wow wow wow...
On the wide passage of the No. 768 Living Base, vehicles with the guard logo sprayed on them were speeding. Teams of guards, cars, and armored vehicles were rushing over.
In a command vehicle, Wang Cai, the head of the Security Bureau, had a livid face and was full of anger.
What's going on? What's going on? How did those mud-legged people get the courage to attack the steel plant? And they even broke it?
There are 200 fully armed guards defending there! There are more than 8,000 coolies working there, and 30,000 tons of high-quality special steel can be produced every year and shipped to Pluto!
In particular, Wang Cai's younger brother, Wang Fa, is the person in charge of the steel plant!
Over the years, Wang Cai has received countless tributes from his younger brother Wang Fa every year. He has relied on this money to build relationships and has been doing well here. He is about to move up a level, but at this critical moment, this kind of thing happened!
"Damn rebels, this matter will not end until you are uprooted and killed! Brother, wait, I will come to save you!"
But...
When Wang Cai arrived at the steel plant, he saw only a ruin.
The ground was covered with blood, corpses, and bullet holes on the walls.
The doors that should have been closed were wide open, and the machines that should have been roaring were smashed and broken, and many key equipment disappeared.
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain, make a feint to the east and attack in the west..."
At this point, how could Wang Cai still not understand that he had been fooled by the rebels.
Before, there were rebels everywhere in the 768, 767, 759 and other bases. Guards and security guards were attacked, civil servants were killed and robbed, and shops were attacked everywhere. Wang Cai mobilized a large number of troops to put out fires everywhere, and was busy and exhausted.
Who would have thought that this was just a strategy of the rebels. They led their troops to other places, and then took down the steel plant in one fell swoop!
It looked like the 775-3 steel plant had been completely scrapped, and it would not be possible to resume production without a few months of repairs. The people inside... I'm afraid they were all dead.
Wang Cai still had a little hope in his heart.
There was a safe house in the steel plant, maybe his brother was hiding there and not dead.
But, in front of a big door, he saw his brother's body.
Obviously, his brother was forced to open the door and was shot in the head.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Wang Cai roared with red eyes: "Chase!"
The large group of people immediately rushed to the slums.
But...
The slums still maintained the same dilapidated and messy state as before. There were ragged people everywhere, and messy buildings everywhere.
Seeing the arrival of the guards, the crowd fled in all directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There are more than 2 million people living in this slum, which is the largest in the entire Mercury.
The roads are complicated, the equipment is messy, the underground passages are interconnected, and the monitoring is weak - or in other words, as long as new monitoring equipment is installed, it will be destroyed in less than two hours.
A few thousand people hiding in this place are like a drop of water merging into the sea, and they can't be found at all.
But, we have to find them even if we can't find them!
Thousands of guards and security guards are divided into teams and attack everywhere.
The door of a civilian house was kicked open, and the leading guard shouted: "Search for me!"
"Tell me the truth, where are the rebels hiding!"
"I don't know, we are good people!"
"Let my daughter go! Please, let us go!"
"Dare to resist, this must be a rebel accomplice, shoot!"
Bang!
A gunshot, a dry and thin middle-aged man had a bloody hole on his head, and fell to the ground without movement. His 17- or 18-year-old daughter screamed in despair: "I'll fight you!"
"Catch her, take her back, I'll interrogate her myself!"
The leading guard showed a cruel smile on his face.
Hundreds of guards and security guards made the area chaotic, and finally caught hundreds of so-called rebel accomplices, all of whom were tortured and prepared to be taken back for interrogation.
Wang Cai looked at the empty streets with red eyes, and looked at the houses and buildings with their doors closed. Suddenly, he raised his gun and started shooting at the front.
There were several screams in the corners, behind the windows, and inside the gates. It was obvious that they were hit by the shooting, but no one dared to come out.
The street became quieter and quieter.
Countless pairs of eyes hid behind various shadows, looking at Wang Cai with hatred.
After shooting and venting his anger, Wang Cai felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Although the slums are poorly managed, they are important labor export centers. On Mercury, there are countless jobs that rely on these poor people who are willing to work hard for a living.
Do they really want to start an indiscriminate massacre? Then the people of Mercury Industrial Administration can dismiss me without the help of the Itar people.
Start a search?
How to search?
So many people...
"Recover the Earth Organization, very good, you are very good, wait for my wrath..."
After catching these hundreds of so-called rebel accomplices, the convoy returned empty-handed.
What happened on Mercury did not attract too much attention from the top. Even the governor of Mercury - except for Earth, the administrative level of other planets is state-level, the same as the state-level administrative districts of East Asia, South Asia, and North Austria, all under the management of the Earth Governor, and the governor of Mercury is the highest executive officer of Mercury - was not alarmed.
What is there to pay attention to when rebels riot these days? Don't they happen every day?
He took down a steel plant? He was just a rebel riot when he took down a steel plant. What's the big deal?
The head of the Mercury State Security Department only paid a little attention to it, and ordered a severe crackdown, and then there was no movement.
But no one could have expected that what happened on Mercury would spread like wildfire, and soon it would "infect" Europa.
The rebel organization "Red Mountain Army" got a large number of guns from nowhere and directly attacked a deuterium gas refinery, killing more than 300 guards, destroying all the equipment in the factory, and releasing more than 1 million tons of refined pure deuterium gas, causing huge losses;
The rebel organization "Earth Party" also suddenly had a large number of guns and launched a large-scale rebellion on Triton, breaking through a foundry, releasing workers, killing guards and managers, and causing losses of billions;
The "Heaven Army" on Titan, the "Shirtless Army" on Titan, the "Survival Club" on Ceres...
The spark spread like wildfire! Rebellion broke out!
More than 30 rebel organizations on the list, on dozens of planets, in the next two years, one after another, one after another, launched rebellions, and all had sufficient supplies of guns and ammunition, and their combat effectiveness was more than ten times higher than before!
