Before Patterson woke up, Mane had already learned the news of Oscar's death.
To be honest, Mane was a little surprised by Oscar's death. This was not within the scope of his and Zeng Wangcai's plan. However, Mane, who has the potential to be a hero, knows that now is not the time to think about these things, and he must complete the rest of the things according to the plan.
"I'm sorry, General Oscar has gone to heaven!" Mane began his performance again, "I started the war, maybe many people think I'm a butcher, but what I want to say is that I started the war because we need peace and freedom, not assassination and terrorism.
“I want freedom and peace through the referendum, so I started the tour despite the danger, but some people don’t want me to have peace, don’t want us to have freedom… They launched a terrorist assassination during my free speech, they thought that killing me would stop our cause…
"They are totally wrong. What I want to say is that even if one of me dies, there are still thousands and thousands of me..."
The last sentence set Swindon Square on fire, with fans enthusiastically following Mane's slogan: "Even if one of me dies, there are still thousands of me!"
Patterson was awakened at this time. He opened his eyes blankly, only to feel a splitting headache, and then he could not feel his right hand.
"What's wrong with me?" Patterson, who had just woken up, briefly lost his memory of what happened just now.
"Mr. Governor, you are injured!" The police chief came over immediately to report, "General Oscar is dead. The situation is very bad now. Mane has taken control of the situation. You need to come out and take charge of the situation. In case his followers cause unrest, we need to follow your orders. You are the highest commander on the scene now."
I'm in charge, Nima!
Is this something that can be directed?
Patterson felt his vision go dark and he wanted to faint again.
But at this time, the second-in-command of the military, the direct superior of the soldiers on the scene, the commander of Oscar's elite brigade, came over with a phone after reporting: "Mr. Patterson, the Ministry of Defense is calling!"
Fuck!
Patterson knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he stood up with the help of the police chief and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Patterson... Mr. Minister... Zeng Wangcai?"
Xiaobu's Secretary of Defense was not concerned about Oscar first, because Oscar was already dead and there was no point in caring about him. His second concern was not Patterson, because as long as he could speak, he was fine. What he was most concerned about was whether Zeng Wangcai was dead or not.
"I don't know!" Patterson tried to recall the scene just now, enduring a headache. "When the shooting happened, I was facing Mane. Mane was shot, but he didn't die... You see, the scene was under his control, and he was still giving a speech... Zeng Wangcai was next to me and was also shot, but I don't know if he died or not... Okay, I'll find a way to find out."
The Americans were confused. They had experienced Zeng Wangcai's fake death, and all the gunmen responsible for the assassination had lost contact, so they were unsure of the outcome.
After saying this, what Patterson was worried about happened. He was given full authorization to handle the situation.
How should Patterson deal with this?
He could only go ahead with it.
"Hey, Mane!" Patterson spoke during Mane's speech.
"Friends, we are glad that the governor is not seriously injured. Let us invite the governor up." Seeing that Patterson woke up, Mane deliberately gave him a chance and stopped his speech.
Patterson carefully climbed onto the lift platform on top of the RV again and saw Mane's wound, which was wrapped haphazardly. "I'm very sorry that this happened in Carson City. I condemn terrorist assassinations just like you do. General Oscar is dead. Is your injury okay?"
He really wanted to ask Zeng Wangcai what was wrong, but he knew now was not the time.
"I'm fine!" Mane closed his eyes in pain, and after two seconds of silence, he opened them again and glared, "I want to know why this happened. Mr. Governor must know who did it, right?"
The hat-tapping begins!
Mane was implying that the assassination was instigated by Patterson and his group.
"No, I don't know!" Patterson knew that he couldn't admit it, even if he was beaten to death, otherwise he might be torn to pieces by Mane's fans in a while. "I want to know who did it just like you. You see, I'm also injured, my head, my hands..."
At this point, the memory of having his hand clamped by the iron pliers just now awakened him. He looked at Mane in shock, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He realized that something was wrong. That terrifying power, the power to lift him up and throw him into the sky, the power to crush his hands, did not seem like something Mane possessed.
Moreover, he had seen Oscar's body. Apart from the gunshot wound, Oscar's hand was broken just like his.
"This is your territory!" Mane accused angrily, "Carson is your territory, and according to the vested interests, only you have the reason to assassinate us."
"No, no, no, that's not the case!" Patterson didn't have time to think about the issue of power and continued to deny, "If it was us, how do you explain the death of General Oscar?"
Alas, this is where my bad luck comes from.
Ma sighed inwardly, knowing that the accusation operation could not go on because of the accident.
According to the plan, Mane needs to accuse the government of assassination, then unite his fans and make the wavering figures in California make decisions in their favor.
But now, Oscar is dead, it's such a surprise.
As Patterson said, they were carrying out assassinations, so why would they kill their own people?
And he is a lieutenant general. Such big men are not meant to be sacrificed here, and there are not many of them in the United States.
Okay, next item!
Mane immediately changed direction. He operated the lifting platform and lifted the robot Zeng Wangcai up.
The robot Zeng Wangcai was lying on a lifting platform, covered with a piece of cloth, one end of which was stained with shocking blood.
The next thing Mane has to do is to reveal the "death news" of Zeng Wangcai to facilitate Zeng Wangcai's disappearance. Although he doesn't know why Zeng Wangcai suddenly made this decision, it does not prevent him from executing Zeng Wangcai's orders.
"This is our friend, California's friend, and the friend of all mankind... Mr. Zeng Wangcai!" Mane picked up the microphone and let his voice spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker. "The reason why we in California can resist the virus is because of the assistance of Mr. Zeng Wangcai. Mr. Zeng Wangcai came to California in accordance with the agreement signed with the government and brought materials to resist the virus for us to use for free. He saved countless lives, but was assassinated by despicable and dirty politicians... Why..."
Zeng Wangcai’s selfless deeds have not been publicized before, so they have not spread among the Americans.
Now, with Mane's promotion, Zeng Wangcai's image has immediately become more prominent.
Patterson didn't care about anything else. He suddenly squatted down and used his intact left hand to pull open the cloth, revealing the body of the robot Zeng Wangcai.
