"I've made up my mind. If you don't have any objections, do as I say," the Consul said.
"Of course, I'll execute your orders!" Colonel Keno said. He had no objections when it was something that would benefit him.
"Alright, go and prepare now. Tomorrow morning, we'll take control of the entire city and implement military rule!" The Consul said with a wave of his hand. Since he had decided to do this, he had to be swift and decisive. He did not want to give the rich merchants and senior officials any time to prepare.
"Yes, sir!" Colonel Keno saluted the Consul, then turned around and left.
"How is it? Is there anything else? "The Consul turned to Jiang Fei and asked.
"Sir, this is my resignation. Please approve it." Jiang Fei handed over the resignation that he had prepared.
"Oh? Why? "The Consul asked.
"After the military rule, I'm just a decoration. If I stay in this position, I'll only attract hatred. It's better to take the initiative to resign," Jiang Fei said very calmly.
"You're giving up on this position that you've already obtained?" The Consul asked.
"It's because of my negligence that led to this crisis. I should pay the price for it," Jiang Fei said.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to punish you?" The Consul asked with a smile.
"Sir, if you want to punish me, I deserve it. I've caused such a big mess. Someone needs to take responsibility," Jiang Fei said.
"Do you really think so?" The Consul looked at Jiang Fei with interest.
"Sir, it's a mercy that you didn't pursue this matter. If you pursue this matter, I only have myself to blame," Jiang Fei said.
"Good! Good! Good! Based on your attitude, I'll let this matter go. However, you can no longer be an official. "With just one sentence from the Consul, Jiang Fei was completely demoted to a civilian.
"Thank you for your mercy, sir!" Jiang Fei bowed to the Consul.
"Since you're no longer an official, vacate your mansion," the Consul continued. The Consul continued. This was equivalent to asking Jiang Fei to pack up and leave. Even though Jiang Fei had helped the Consul a lot before, these higher-ups were very ruthless when they turned against them.
"Yes, sir!" Jiang Fei bowed and left the Archon's mansion.
Although Jiang Fei was a little surprised that the Consul had chased him out of the mansion, he had expected to lose his position.
"That's good too. I have more freedom." Jiang Fei smiled faintly. He did not return home. After all, all his belongings were stored in the Legacy Space. So, it did not matter if he had a few tattered clothes at home.
After losing his home, Jiang Fei immediately bought himself a new house. This house was located at the edge of the city, close to the Slums. The original owner had gone bankrupt and owed a lot of debt. Later, they encountered inflation, so they could no longer live on. Therefore, Jiang Fei only used thirty Moon Crystals to buy this small villa.
After buying a place to stay, Jiang Fei did not wander around. Something big was going to happen tonight!
Originally, the family was very efficient. They took the money and left. Although 30 Moon Crystals was not a lot, it was enough for them to buy a small house in the slums and live there for another year or so.
So, when the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Fei was the only one left in the house.
Watching the time pass by little by little, Jiang Fei did not feel sleepy at all. After a simple meal, Jiang Fei began to silently count down the time.
When the midnight bell rang, Jiang Fei knew that a storm was coming.
At this moment, a large number of military vehicles were driving out of the military camp in the suburbs. They formed a long line and went straight to the city center.
From the moment they entered the city, a large number of military police quietly got out of the car and controlled every street corner. As the convoy continued to move into the city, more and more military police got out of the car and quietly placed the entire city under control.
Three o 'clock in the morning! With a shrill alarm, Colonel Keno pulled the curtain on the military control of the Gamma Dimension.
Overnight, the whole city was in an uproar. The streets and alleys were filled with armed military police. Even after dawn, a large number of mechs had entered the city. This made the entire Gamma Dimension nervous. No one knew what was going to happen.
The atmosphere of fear began to spread. After all, the previous sheriff's rebellion was still vivid in people's minds. No one wanted to fall into war again after just experiencing an economic crisis.
After that, the loudspeakers on the military vehicles began to broadcast a notice to pacify the people. After the civilians heard the notice, they immediately calmed down because the military announced the implementation of the rationing system, which meant that they didn't need to spend money to receive food. Although it might not be good, at least it could ensure that no one would starve to death!
However, to the wealthy merchants and large families who had money and food, the military's announcement was no different from robbery. Any Moon Spirit Crystals and food that exceeded a certain limit would have to be confiscated. Secretly hiding Moon Spirit Crystals and food was a serious crime. Which wealthy merchant or family could accept such a rule?
However, no matter how much those rich merchants and big families disagreed, no matter how tough their attitudes were, could they be tough enough to resist the cold muzzle of a gun? After Colonel Keno killed two rich merchants on the spot as an example to others, the others became obedient.
Although their wealth was looted, at least they were still alive. If they continued to resist, not only would they lose their money and food, they would also lose their lives!
For a time, in the central city of the Gamma Dimension, the streets where the super rich and big families gathered were simply filled with cries. Of course, those rich people living in suburban villas did not run away. Colonel Keno also sent people to take over their wealth.
In the end, all the wealth and food were gathered together. The huge amount made Colonel Keno's heart tremble. This was a huge amount of wealth. It can be said that it was more than half of the wealth of the entire Gamma Dimension. Now, all of it was placed in front of Keno.
With the idea of being close to the water, Colonel Keno directly swindled a large amount of Moon Crystals into his hands in the name of floating.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Colonel Keno has already taken the lead, so how could the officers at all levels not take action? When they were raiding the properties of those rich merchants, they all made a lot of money. Some of them even wantonly laid their hands on the women of these rich merchants.
Colonel Keno turned a blind eye to this. Now that he was in power, of course, he could not be too harsh on the officers and soldiers under him.
Under the connivance of Colonel Keno, the entire wealthy district in the center of the city was in a foul atmosphere. These low-level officers were even more unscrupulous. Who knows how many young ladies and madams of rich families were killed.
