Chapter 249 Confession

The Capitol building was still burning, and the flames cast a red glow all around.

Zhang Quanming looked at Zhu Yun standing in front of the building. Her solemn face was also illuminated by the fire, and her eyes seemed to be dancing with flames.

When he thought about standing in front of the camera and accepting the judgment of this woman, deep fear and intense anger rose in his heart.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life!

However, the situation was stronger than the person, and he, the culprit, fell into the hands of the protesters and had no choice but to bow his head.

Not to mention that his hands were tied, he was injured, and a laser gun was pointed at his back. If he dared not confess, even if Zhu Yun didn't kill him, those angry women would eat him alive.

On the contrary, if one admits his mistakes more sincerely, he may be able to restore his image in the eyes of the public.

Zhang Quanming was secretly thinking of a countermeasure when the security personnel behind him pushed him in front of everyone.

Looking up, he saw a sea of heads, all with the same flame of hatred burning in their eyes. There were even some familiar staff members mixed in with him, and the reporters all raised their cameras and pointed them at him.

Zhang Quanmin's legs suddenly felt weak and he could hardly stand.

Zhu Yun began to read out his crimes, and his sonorous and powerful voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the loudspeaker.

"Fifth, Zhang Quanming established MK Capital under the name of a crony and secretly accepted bribes, amassing a total of 46 billion yuan during his three years in office."

"Sixth, eleven executives of the Huangtian Group committed multiple serious crimes, including murder and corruption. Zhang Quanming, after accepting a massive bribe, used the privilege of the leader's pardon to pardon them all."

The crowd was in an uproar, and some people even tried to throw stones at Zhang Quanming, but fortunately they were stopped by security personnel.

It would be bad if someone was killed before the crime was even read out.

But he could stop the stones, but he couldn't stop the insults. "Bitch!" "Go to hell!" "Beast!" The insults, which were almost curses, surged towards Zhang Quanming like a tide.

Zhang Quanming's face turned pale, his body trembled, and he finally couldn't hold on and knelt on the ground.

He couldn't believe it. How could Zhu Yun know these secret things? Then he realized that it must have been his good secretary-general who reported it.

If he continues like this, he will really become a sinner despised by everyone.

Zhang Quanming shouted hoarsely, "No! This is not true! You can't slander me like this!"

However, his voice was too soft and no one could hear it. Even if someone heard it, I am afraid no one would believe his weak rebuttal.

The reading continues.

"Thirteenth, Zhang Quanming issued a decree that discriminates against women, harms women's rights, deprives people of their freedom, violates his duties as the head of state, undermines the national policy of equality for all, and seriously endangers social security."

"Count 14: Zhang Quanming instructed the military to arrest protesters, and after the arrests failed, he launched missiles at innocent people, committing crimes against the people."

“…”

Finally, Zhu Yun put down the documents in his hand and turned to look at Zhang Quanming with a sharp gaze. "Zhang Quanming, do you admit to the above crimes?"

Zhang Quanming raised his head from the ground and wanted to say that he did not admit it, but when he met Zhu Yun's intimidating eyes, he suddenly became timid.

Then he burst into tears and said, "Yes, I admit that I have committed a great sin. I have failed my country and my people! I was bewildered and possessed by the devil, which is why I have done these unforgivable things. But I beg you, I beg you all, for the sake of my contributions to this country, to give me another chance to atone for my sins!"

But to his disappointment, the people did not forgive him because of his confession, but instead launched even more fierce verbal attacks.

"Who asked you to atone for your sins? Just commit suicide and make amends!"

"Why weren't you like this when you were planning to massacre women? Now that you know you're wrong, it's too late."

"It's not that he knows he's wrong, it's that he's clearly afraid he's going to die."

"Go to hell, you bastard! You and all those men who spoke in support of you online should all be pulled out and shot!"

"Execute Zhang Quanming!"

Zhang Quanming trembled in fear. How could he be executed? He was the head of state!

But the next moment, his head was pressed against something hard. He raised his head stiffly, and the dark muzzle of a gun suddenly caught his eyes.

"No! You have no right to do this!" Zhang Quanming screamed with all his might.

But it was of no avail. Seeing the other party pulling the trigger without hesitation, Zhang Quanming suddenly burst out with strength, stood up and rushed forward.

Before he could even take half a step, gunshots rang out.

Bang!

Zhang Quanming widened his eyes, his eyes full of unwillingness. It shouldn't be like this. His life and his ending shouldn't be like this!

Before today, he was still convinced that he would be re-elected as leader. How come he was beaten to death by a mob in the blink of an eye?

Zhang Quanming fell to his knees, his head dropped heavily, and he died with his eyes open.

Zhu Yun lowered his head and looked at his body. "I was just carrying out the will of the people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers of victory, and everyone hugged each other excitedly, tears in their eyes.

The night was over, and the sun was rising from behind the building, casting its warm golden light on everyone.

The flames in the Capitol building were extinguished, and someone rushed to the ruins and planted the flag of the Women's Party on the highest point. The red flag fluttered in the morning breeze.

Zhu Yun turned around and unconsciously smiled gently.

With a "click", Liu Ming, who was standing nearby, raised his camera and captured this beautiful scene.

This is indeed a moment worth remembering. Women have achieved an unprecedented victory. From now on, no one and no law will dare to discriminate against or oppress them.

The audience in the live broadcast room cried with joy. They originally thought that abolishing the Bloody Decree was impossible, let alone executing the damn Zhang Quanmin.

But the result was better than they expected.

They will usher in a brand new government, a government entirely dominated by women, a new world of fairness and freedom!

On the other side, Chi Li saw the red flag flying in front of the Capitol building and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

See, she just said it was a beautiful day.

At this time, there was a roar of engines overhead. Chi Li turned off the screen and walked onto the deck. She saw that the fighter planes had already returned and were landing on the deck of the warship one after another.

Lan Yingzhang, dressed in a blue combat uniform, walked down the gangway and strode towards her. "Director Zhou, the mission was successfully completed. The several ministers who escaped have all been captured."

"Very good," Chi Li nodded slightly, "It's time to clean up these high-ranking officials."

Lan Yingzhang looked calm, as if she could accept calmly no matter what shocking words Chi Lan said.

But Chi Qi still remembered how shocked Lan Yingzhang was when she took out this warship. It can be said that his eyes almost popped out.

At that time, she told Lan Yingzhang that these warships and fighter jets were bought from abroad, and she could let the engineers learn advanced technology so that they could build their own ships in the future.

Lan Yingzhang was even more shocked. How rich was Tianqiong that he could even afford warships!

Chi Lan didn't explain, letting her misunderstand. But in reality, the ship and the fighter jets sent to bomb the Capitol were all purchased by Chi Lan using her points. She also coated the fighter jets with invisible coating, which was why the military radar failed to detect their entry.

Of course, even if the military detected it, Zhang Quanming would not know about it, because the air defense base had been controlled by Chi Lan's people at that time.

Originally, Chi Qing had no intention of killing Zhang Quanming. Her initial plan was to take it step by step, letting their people occupy positions in various departments and congressmen first, so that it would be smoother for Zhu Yun to take office in next year's general election.

Unfortunately, Zhang Quanming couldn't even wait this short time. He found various ways to commit suicide and rejected Tianqiong's application to develop into the aerospace field.

This was related to her mission of "Leap of Civilization". In this case, she could only arrange a grand farewell for him as Zhang Quanmin wished.

Not long after the protest ended, Zhu Yun became the new leader of the empire with the support of the Tianqiong Group.

At the inauguration ceremony, Zhu Yun delivered a speech, calling for basic material security to become the most basic human right, and any citizen can obtain food, housing and medical supplies free of charge.

"I will do everything in my power to eliminate poverty and class, so that no one will be burdened with a lifetime of debt because of a house!"

"I will legislate to protect women's rights, including reproductive rights, surname rights, and inheritance rights!"

"I will do my utmost to eliminate all gender discrimination and vigorously combat crimes such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, and surrogacy!"

The women cheered, while the men were unhappy and complained.

Unfortunately, they can no longer spread rumors online as freely as they did before, because the last person who spread rumors online that Zhu Yun had killed countless people has been arrested by the military and police.

All the platforms, posts, and live broadcasts where men gather have been blocked, and thousands of accounts that insult women have been blown up. Even the male celebrities who love to feed on the confrontation between men and women have learned how to please women, and their words are more sweet than the other.

The establishment of ideology is very important, but it cannot be accomplished overnight. Public opinion is naturally controlled by relevant departments, and Zhu Yun has no time to spare for these scum.

A new official starts with three things.

The first thing she did upon taking office was to form her own political team. The little-known Women's Rights Party suddenly became the ruling party, occupying the majority of seats in the National Assembly.

The second step was to purge the old party. Party A collapsed completely, and Party B was left struggling. Many resigned to save their lives, but they could not escape trial even if they could escape their positions. Disgruntled and resentful subordinates came forward to denounce their superiors for corruption and bribery. An investigation revealed few officials free of corruption and selfishness, and all high-ranking officials were annihilated. The military was no exception. In just six months, the army's strength was reduced by 60%, and all officers with military ranks were purged.

The person who succeeded him as the Minister of the Army was Lan Yingzhang.

After all, in modern society, what determines the outcome of a war is no longer the number of people, but the advancement of weapons.

The third thing is to abolish the marriage law.

The Marriage Law can be abolished immediately, but the monogamous family system cannot be completely abolished with a single order. To ensure a smooth implementation of the policy, Zhu Yun introduced a transitional partnership agreement.

A partnership agreement can clearly define the property, housework, and breakup terms of both parties in a relationship, but if they want to have children, the children will take the mother's surname first, and the mother will have absolute responsibility for raising the children. The government will also provide corresponding childcare support and subsidies.

As for the sperm donor, he needs to provide a paternity test after the child is born before he can register his parentage. However, if the woman refuses, the sperm donor cannot register his parentage.

In addition, the government will provide free high-quality sperm banks. At the same time, Tianqiong Biology will provide corresponding technical support for citizens who want to give birth to single or double females.

As a result, even the most traditionally minded women are forced to consider single parenthood. After all, without marriage, the law doesn't support male paternity or obligate men to raise children. So, wouldn't it be very risky for women to bear children for men? It's easy to lose everything.

But things don't always go as smoothly as Zhu Yun expected.

Soon after she came to power, the opposition established armed forces and regimes in the name of opposing her feminist rule, and the rest of the provinces also surrendered to the puppet government.

The empire was suddenly divided into two regimes, East and West, and war ensued.

Unfortunately, wars are fought with people, money and weapons. Zhu Yun has the support of the money-making machine of Tianqiong Group, so he can directly suppress the opponent.

Finally, the puppet government had to request a ceasefire. The two sides signed a peace agreement, demarcated their respective territories, and erected a high electric fence on the dividing line.

The attitudes of men and women towards the two regimes are completely different. Women run to Zhu Yun, while men naturally run to the pseudo-government.

This marked the beginning of a gender-segregated society.

————

Three years later.

Lan Yingzhang, then Minister of the Army, went to inspect the Tianqiong Space Base, but he did not expect that the person accompanying him would be Shi Nian'an, who had taken over as chairman.

"Why, Sister Lan, are you surprised to see me?" Shi Nian'an smiled slightly, still using the same name as when they first met.

Lan Yingzhang suddenly felt dazed, as if she was back to the scene of her first interview at Tianqiong Group.

At that time, she was still worried about the next month's rent. She never imagined that she would be promoted from a bodyguard to the position of Minister of the Military.

She was able to achieve what she has today because she met Jay Chou, a noble man. However, Jay Chou went to the Mars base last year, and it was unknown when he would be able to see her again.

Lan Yingzhang thought to himself, then he held Shi Nian'an's hand as he did back then, and said jokingly with a smile: "You are too kind to me, Xiaoshi."

Shi Nian'an was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. "Minister Lan, you still remember. Let me take you to see the spacecraft workshop. Now the time it takes to launch a spacecraft to Mars has been shortened to half a month. If you are interested, you can also visit the Mars base."
