Chapter 1398 No Compromise
When the noise suddenly sounded in the dark city, countless bureaucrats and dignitaries woke up from their sleep. As the chairman of the chamber of commerce, when Mr. Paramount lay on the window sill of his house and saw groups of armed men starting to build fortresses on the street, he was almost so frightened that he almost lost control of himself.
"Is this going to be another riot?" Mr. Paramount was sweating profusely, and countless terrible memories flooded his mind. That was the scene when the cataclysm just happened. The whole city lost its restraint and was heading for destruction. The scene of flames soaring into the sky has always been the deepest nightmare in his heart.
In desperation, Paramount hastily called friends, colleagues and personnel in the city to inquire about the news. In the end, what he learned was different from what he had imagined. "A troop came to kill us? Suzano's people want to control us in Merida?"
The news was chaotic, and rumors also brought a wave. Some said, "The Chinese Liberation Army took control of Merida, and the government troops came to suppress the rebellion," while others said, "Your Excellency, the governor, joined the Aurora Legion, causing the capital to be furious."
However, as a businessman who has some understanding of the current power struggle, Paramount understands that this matter is actually very simple. It is nothing more than an ambitious person who wants to grab the territory while the governor is away.
"I will never cooperate with Suzano." Paramount clenched his fists and said firmly. As a native Mexican businessman, he knows that his fortune is entirely due to being in a relaxed and stable social environment. In Mexico City, wealth spells disaster.
Paramount didn't even bother to change clothes, rushed out of his house in pajamas, and drove the car to the city hall himself. He rushed into the office of Mayor Giles with bare feet and shouted: "We must not give in, we must not."
He rushed into the office with a bang, and found that a large group of people had gathered in the office at this moment. Almost all the bureaucrats and dignitaries in the city came here. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. When they saw Paramount running in and shouting, they also waved their arms excitedly in response to the crowd, as if they were determined not to give up.
"Quiet, quiet, I'm in touch with Mexico City. The situation is still unclear, and we still need to be patient." As the mayor, Giles lost the chain at a critical moment, and with a weak personality, he was still looking forward to this A misunderstanding.
It's just that the bureaucrats in the city refused to listen to the mayor, and there was a lot of trouble in the office. For a moment, no one grasped the main point, they were all talking to themselves, and they were almost about to fight. The chaotic situation lasted for a while, and suddenly the people in the office felt the ground tremble slightly, like an earthquake.
The weird situation made everyone quiet, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally someone noticed that the movement was coming from the street. The sound of metal friction accompanied by tracked vehicles in the tremor sounds like heavy vehicles passing by.
Paramount went to the window and looked out, and immediately exclaimed: "God, when did we have such a big artillery?"
artillery? !
More people were puzzled, there were not enough people in the window, and everyone left the mayor's office and ran out of the city hall. And on the street outside the city hall, a big guy weighing 20 to 30 tons was creaking and creaking under the light of street lights.
This is a heavy-duty self-propelled howitzer with a thick and long barrel of nearly ten meters. It looks powerful and invincible. This is the W90 heavy self-propelled howitzer that Zhou Qingfeng used to bombard the city of Merida, with a caliber of 203mm.
More and more people came out of the city hall, and everyone stood on the side of the road and watched stupidly. They were completely blinded by such a thick cannon barrel, and there was no second door in the whole of Mexico!
Wait..., this is not the equipment of the Mexican army at all, is it?
And behind that heavy self-propelled howitzer is followed by a team of towed howitzers towed by trucks, a total of twelve, organized into an artillery battalion. Although the gun barrel is not as scary as the one in front of it, it is still a heavy gun of more than 150mm.
Doesn't this mean that Merida is about to be destroyed when it is attacked by the enemy? Why does it feel like the city is going to launch a strategic counterattack? The artillery strength alone is equivalent to a division of the opponent.
"What kind of artillery is this?" Giles didn't know the situation after he came to Merida not long ago. He almost thought that the government troops had entered the city, and felt that the situation was over.
Paramount was a little more familiar, judging from the military uniforms and signs: "This seems to be our security force."
"The security forces in Merida have such strong artillery? So much equipment? Is this still a security force?" Ji Ruisi said in his heart: The government army can't find so many large-caliber artillery!
Behind the artillery was a team of construction machinery. Giles and the others couldn't figure out the type of these equipment, but they could still see that many of these machinery were specially used for digging trenches and building fortifications. Although these equipment cannot be used for direct combat, they can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Seeing this scene, a bunch of officials who were still arguing had no energy to continue arguing. Paramount even sighed: "It feels like our Governor has thought of everything and is ready, so there is no need for us to worry too much.
You see, this battery of artillery alone is strong enough. Now I feel sorry for the government army that is about to attack us. I'm afraid they don't know what they are going to face? "
Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and it was basically nothing to do with their feelings for a long time. The most uncomfortable thing was of course the mayor, Giles. He watched the artillery build up positions on the square in front of the city hall, pushed them to the building, and dug the bunker. He was too busy to use him.
The heavy self-propelled howitzer with the thickest barrel stopped in front of everyone and put down the hoe. Several artillerymen operated the artillery carriage to raise the barrel high, and a round of artillery shells weighing a hundred kilograms was loaded into the chamber immediately.
The metal crisp sound of operating the artillery has a sonorous rhythm, which is exciting. With such a thick cannon barrel guarding the city, anyone will have a bit more confidence in victory.
At this moment, Giles's subordinates ran out of the city hall and anxiously shouted to his boss: "Mr. Giles, the capital has just responded to your inquiry. The officials of the State Council said that they do not recognize your actions. The appointment of the mayor of Merida, all information is unavailable."
"Fuck!" The clay figurine's anger was stirred up again. You can talk to Giles about anything, but don't talk about power with him, especially if it clearly negates the real power he just acquired. Although Governor Alfonso did not do it properly, he is still vain, so he will reuse it. !
"I'm going to fight that bastard Suzano!" Giles immediately blushed and was furious. Taking his official position is more serious than taking his life, "Isn't he just a gang leader with a background in drug trafficking, I want to draw a clear line with them this time, and I will never compromise!"
