"This may destroy the United States!" Adali frowned, then she found Kong Lingyi in the crowd and asked: "Rose, tell you, is the Chinese government standing behind you?"
Everyone looked at Kong Lingyi.
Kong Lingyi knew that this problem would be inevitable sooner or later. She thought for a while and said: "Of course I am Chinese, no matter where and when. However, I am a woman first. The Chinese government does not know about this matter, and I am very much looking forward to it."
To see an America run by women. I thought that would be a great opportunity to prove that we women are just as important as men."
Kong Lingyi's answer did not satisfy Atali, but she also knew that this was not the time to pursue this issue. She looked at Bisselin and said: "Promise me, this is just a change! America does not need revolution!"
Bisselin shook her head affirmatively, but sneered in her heart: "Since weapons have been used, this is a revolution. Adali is still too naive politically!"
In the White House, Truman calmed down and said to Donovan and others: "Since Higgins has chosen neutrality, it is impossible to solve the problem by force. Moreover, because the demonstrators are mostly women and children, if the situation is not controlled well, the situation may get lost."
Control, this is definitely not what we want to see and can bear. So I decided to have an in-depth dialogue with the Mutual Aid Association. The Mutual Aid Association must have its political purpose in making such a big noise. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, our opponents
There is no involvement in it. Therefore, we should settle this matter quickly before they can react!"
Truman was already aware of the political demands of the Mutual Aid Association, and was mentally prepared to accept some conditions that were not too harsh. However, he misjudged the purpose of the Mutual Aid Association in launching this movement, and even underestimated the power of the Mutual Aid Association.
Following Truman's instructions, Donovan, escorted by dozens of his men, shouted to the crowd outside the White House, asking for an in-depth conversation with Atali. However, he was told by several women who claimed to be directors of the mutual aid association that Atali was seriously injured and now
Unable to move freely at all, Truman was asked to go to the hospital where Atali was recovering from his injuries and hold a dialogue there. These directors also made a request for the White House to hand over the murderer to show its sincerity.
From the beginning to the end, the demonstrations of the marching crowd never stopped. And because Atali was shot, the crowd became even more excited. Many people even raised their weapons directly, claiming that if Truman did not give out the news within a certain period of time,
If you are satisfied with the reply, they will type it in directly——
"No war! Want peace!"
"China is not the enemy of the United States, Japan is! We strongly oppose the government's betrayal of American interests by making peace with Japan!"
... Such slogans were sounded one after another, and when he realized that the slogans were mixed with new content, which actually related to the diplomatic stance of the United States, Donovan became more and more suspicious of Kong Lingyi's role in it, and at the same time determined that the Chinese government was involved in this.
He played a very disgraceful role in this riot.
Facing the countless indignant faces, most of which were supposed to be gentle and weak female faces, Donovan felt more and more that a huge conspiracy was being staged. He hurriedly retreated and reported the situation to Truman.
.
"Mr. President, we must not agree to their request. I can see that they have been prepared for this day. It is not ruled out that they will use force to launch subversive actions!"
"But I have to show up as soon as possible. If I don't show up, I don't know what kind of rumors will appear outside!"
"But, we have no contact with the outside world at all!"
"Where is the confidential line? Inform our hidden forces and ask them to take action immediately. I must give a televised speech as soon as possible!"
"I've tried it, but it doesn't work -"
"Then I can only go see Adali. I hope she can still stay sane!"
"No, Mr. President, even if Atali is still sane, the women under her have gone crazy! No, as long as one of them goes crazy or is bribed by the Chinese, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"But we can't solve it by hiding here!"
"Mr. President, I suggest you wait. There are still our people outside, the Vice President, Secretary of State, generals and congressmen. They will definitely not sit idly by. In addition, I suggest sending someone to contact Higgins and make sure to persuade him to stand.
Come to our side!" White House Chief of Staff Wallace, who had almost no presence around Truman, suddenly said.
This Wallace was the Wallace from the Skull and Bones Society who had helped the Xuebing Army purchase some scrapped or second-hand warships from the United States. Seeing him, Truman's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked earnestly: "Wallace, Skull and Bones"
Is there a way? Don’t worry, no matter how much the price is, as long as this crisis can be solved, the government will definitely admit it afterwards - I guarantee it!"
Wallace thought about it seriously and said: "There is no way out. The simplest way is to fight violence with violence. However, there will definitely be heavy casualties!"
Truman thought about it seriously, and then gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, I will declare a national emergency!"
Wallace nodded and said: "Then, I will notify the outside world and ask them to persuade the Ku Klux Klan to come forward."
"Fighting violence with violence?" Donovan asked.
"Do you have a better way?"
Donovan frowned and said, "Then I reserve my opinion."
Truman gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then slammed the table and said, "Let's do it this way. Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures!"
In the National Guard barracks south of Washington, Bisselin was discussing with Higgins how to stabilize the situation.
Higgins declared neutrality, which was the most successful of the mutual aid association's preparations. By mobilizing the housewives or mothers who joined the mutual aid association to convince their relatives in Higgins's unit, the goal of dismantling Higgins' division without bloodshed was achieved.
The purpose, this idea, came from Kong Lingyi. Facts have proved that this strategy is quite successful.
However, although they successfully forced Higgins to declare neutrality, such an armed force is still the biggest obstacle to the Mutual Aid Association's victory.
Because once the conflict escalates and turns into an armed struggle, and after the movement is defined as an insurrection by the White House, no one can guarantee which position the soldiers, who have always accepted the supremacy of national interests, will ultimately choose.
Strike while the iron is hot, so Bisselin immediately came to establish relations with Higgins before the demonstration was about to turn into a riot.
"We have absolutely no intention of overthrowing the Truman government, but I think our legitimate demands should be met. General Higgins, you are a soldier and have fought on the Australian battlefield. You should know who the real enemy of the United States is.
Therefore, I think that even if you do not sympathize with us, you should not side with President Truman and become his tool to suppress public opinion and attack justice..."
