Chapter 427 A Different Way to Die

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from somewhere, causing a fierce conflict between the two sides who were already tense.

After hearing the gunshots, several policemen immediately started firing back. The blacks, who thought they were the police, saw their companions being shot and fell to the ground, and instead of running away, some immediately threw various objects. With the sporadic gunshots, the riots broke out completely!

In less than half a minute, several policemen on this block fell to the ground and died, and their weapons were divided up by the blacks. A large number of blacks rushed into the surrounding shops and homes and started smashing and looting!

Black people have low quality and are easily incited. Once they are aroused, they cannot stop and have no humanity at all. When the black people started to riot, a black man jumped on a rock and shouted: White people discriminate against us, exploit us, and now they start to arrest us without reason. Many of our comrades have been brutally killed by them. We want to retaliate against them and let these white people know that we are not easy to bully.

Revenge, revenge, revenge! A group of black people began to take action. The original small-scale violent conflict evolved into an armed parade. Black people began to spread along the block and to the surrounding blocks. More and more black people participated in the riots, constantly venting their bestiality, and began to deliberately target white people with various cruel acts!

Large numbers of white people took to the streets and launched retaliatory attacks on any black people they met, regardless of whether the black people were good or bad. In the eyes of today's citizens, as long as they are black, they are bad people and deserve to die!

"San Francisco is the epicenter of the earthquake. All external traffic has been cut off. No one will know what we do now. Even if the news really leaks out, the head office will handle it." Jesla ordered his subordinates, "After our surgical cuts, California will become a better place in the future. Show your momentum that you conquered Africa. Are you getting old? Have you forgotten how to shoot?"

"We have found the gun warehouse in San Francisco. Fortunately, it was not destroyed by the earthquake. There are enough Gatling machine guns and bullets inside." A man with an armband walked in and reported the good news to his companions in the meeting.

"Then what are you still standing there for?" Jesla raised his head slightly and suddenly shouted, "Fire all your bullets and start."

Amid the ruins still emitting thick smoke, the police who rushed in from the surrounding areas were blocked on the outskirts by a large group of black people. The black people confronted the police with bottles and bricks. Although the police shot and killed more than a dozen leading black people, they still had no way to control the situation. Moreover, the occasional cold gunshots from the black crowd made the police extremely anxious, and they had to start retreating!

"The police in San Francisco are a disgrace to the United States." After Jesla and his men arrived here, they opened fire without saying a word. The Black Gold Company's employees are much better at shooting than these local police. Bullets are the best language. Facing a large number of well-armed, ruthless Black Gold Company armed forces, which used to be slave hunting teams, they opened fire without mercy.

These criminals who had been wreaking havoc in San Francisco since the earthquake finally regained some sense, raised their hands in surrender, and obediently retreated to the side of a wall that had not collapsed. They became obedient citizens again.

Behind the Black Gold Company's armed forces, several Gatling machine guns had been pushed over. Jesla ordered without hesitation, "Open fire, and eliminate all the gangsters who are taking advantage of the chaos to riot."

Da da da! As the Gatling gun was running at full speed, all the gangsters who had laid down their weapons fell into a pool of blood, accompanied by flying sand and rocks. Jesla ordered without looking back, "Pour gasoline on it and burn it. Everyone else, follow me. We'll go find someone else..."

A chaotic city requires extraordinary courage and bravery to restore peace.

"Oh, God, the situation is worse than I thought." Sheffield had to admit that this trip had nothing to do with comfort. Before he arrived in Los Angeles, the chaos here had subsided. The Los Angeles City Government is discussing countermeasures, but the countermeasures have not yet come out.

Upon learning that the rescue team of United Company had arrived in Los Angeles, the city government attached great importance to the fact that a socially responsible company like United Company arrived so quickly, led by the boss himself.

For the time being, they could only use happiness to cover up their sadness and first tell the frightened citizens the news of the rescue. At the same time, Mayor Hard came personally to express his gratitude to Sheffield for coming.

"We are all old friends, Mr. Mayor." Sheffield asked with a compassionate expression, "I wonder what the situation is like in California right now. Mr. Mayor should know a little bit about it."

"The situation is very bad. I heard that San Francisco has fallen into a state of disorder. I don't know the specific situation. The phone in San Francisco is not working. Only the radio can communicate with the outside world. As for Los Angeles, there was a small riot and some communities caused conflicts. The city government is still thinking about how to report to the federal government. After all, there have been many unnatural deaths." Mayor Hard said as he walked with some embarrassment. "The most worrying thing is the situation in San Francisco. This is an unprecedented earthquake. According to the radio of the San Francisco Police Department, half of the city has been destroyed. Many people participated in looting and arson. Once a large number of casualties are reported truthfully, will the federal government blame the state government?"

"That's right!" Sheffield nodded without comment, and then suggested, "In fact, the problem is not unsolvable. San Francisco now relies on telegraphs for external communications. Since there are criminals setting fires and looting, it is normal for the police to suppress them. In fact, the California government can completely push many of the deaths to the looting. Now we just need a group to take this responsibility, so that the state government can solve the embarrassment of the death toll caused by the earthquake."

After hearing the implicit meaning of Mayor Hard's words, the slave owner immediately understood that for California at the moment, the most difficult way is to cover up the situation. Covering up the situation is very normal, but the method and approach must be taken into consideration.

If the death toll from the earthquake is too high, everyone will know that San Francisco is not safe. Who will come to settle there in the future? If no one comes, the real estate will be worthless. To put it in a bigger picture, San Francisco is at risk of being abandoned. After all, it is a large western city that can provide civil service jobs. No matter which party it is, it cannot be easily abandoned.

"Mr. Mayor, the earthquake will not cause many casualties. The most terrible thing is the man-made disaster. We need to pay special attention to the man-made disasters under natural disasters, such as some ethnic groups that are prone to breeding hooligans and villains." Sheffield said sympathetically, "In this way, both the city government and the state government can easily distance themselves from the matter."

"What does Mr. William mean?" Mayor Hard seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, and asked in a low voice.

"We Democrats have always been anti-immigrant, and we are especially tough on black people. This is well known. This year is an election year, and the earthquake is actually very unfavorable to our election situation. Although it is a natural disaster, if California voters cannot vent their anger, it will be very troublesome for us Democrats." Sheffield shrugged and wanted to beat around the bush, but finally couldn't help but said, "But if it is a civil conflict, this is the citizens' own problem. If voters can focus this issue on the black community, we can avoid the election situation being unfavorable due to the earthquake."

"But black people will also have problems with the current situation." Mayor Harry's face was uncertain and he was obviously hesitant.

"We can solve the black people as a problem and show our tough attitude on the issue." Sheffield said helplessly, "You also know that I don't have a good relationship with the Republicans. California needs investment after the earthquake, but investment also needs to be guaranteed by trustworthy political forces, right?"

Seeing that Mayor Harry was still hesitant, Sheffield emphasized, "If you lose the midterm election, it will not do you any good."

This is not the slave owner shirking responsibility. This is the best solution he can think of. It just requires a small ethnic group to make a great sacrifice. This will make the main ethnic group happy, the Democratic Party happy, and he and the companies in the South happy. It is a win-win situation.

"I will immediately send a telegram to Washington to request martial law." Mayor Hard finally made up his mind. As it concerned the midterm elections and his own career, he could no longer hesitate.

The state government does not want San Francisco to give the outside world the impression that it is unsafe, and its own party cannot allow itself to fail in the upcoming election. The only option is to allow the victims of the earthquake to die in a different way.

The dead can make contributions. The people who died in the earthquake can make the living understand the value of their death. On the one hand, Harry reported to Washington, and on the other hand, he quickly rushed to the city council to implement the martial law as soon as possible.

All this has nothing to do with the slave owner. He is now gathering people for disaster relief. The situation in San Francisco is unclear, and they definitely need help. "Leave one company of the Alamo Guards, and all the people will go to San Francisco to help Jesla's people and restore peace and tranquility to San Francisco. That's no problem, right? We are from Texas, where the people are simple and honest."

The entire Washington was kept in the dark, and the only channel for receiving information was reports from California. When they learned that the California state government was going to declare martial law and concentrate manpower on disaster relief, they called back and agreed without much hesitation.

A large number of retired soldiers of the Alamo Guard have already started on their way to San Francisco, and the rest have begun distributing supplies and showing concern for the outstanding citizens who have just been robbed and harmed by a certain ethnic group.
