In a gathering of hundreds of thousands of people, the probability of there being no traitors was as high as the probability of winning the lottery as an ordinary person in Jiang Fei's hometown. Basically, it was a negligible event.
Therefore, as soon as Lina's gathering ended, many people ran to the military and police for various reasons or excuses to tip off the military and police.
Moreover, Lina's men destroyed the roads and set up the barricades. The military and police were not blind, so the news quickly reached Colonel Keno's ears.
"Damn it, are these poor people rebelling?"
"What? How many guns do they have? So what? A bunch of poor people think they can overturn the heavens just because they have a hundred guns? "
…
After Colonel Keno heard the report from his subordinates, he didn't put Lina and her society in his eyes at all. This was also thanks to the mid-level officers that Lina had bribed. They played a huge role in this incident.
Although there were some traitors around Lina, these traitors were generally of low levels. After all, her propaganda and brainwashing work was done very well. Moreover, the members who could be given weapons and take on management tasks could almost be called Lina's believers.
It was almost impossible for these people to report to the military and police. Those traitors were just people who did not have a strong faith and only joined the society to make a living. They did not have much information to begin with, so even if they reported to the military and police in exchange for benefits, they would not be able to provide too much accurate information.
Moreover, Lina's bribing of the officers played a huge role in this matter. They didn't really want to help Lina, but they did it for themselves. After all, if this matter was reported truthfully, and Colonel Keno knew that Lina actually had a force of 100,000 soldiers, then wouldn't Colonel Keno investigate where these weapons came from?
When that time comes, would these bribed officers be able to live a good life? Therefore, for their own sake, these officers had no choice but to edit the contents of the report after receiving the information. Although they did not dare to not report the truth, at least they could delay the time and conceal the number of weapons that the enemy had, then seize the time to escape.
Under such circumstances, it was already late when Colonel Keno received the news. The barricades on Lina's side had already been set up, and the defenders had already moved in. Only then did Colonel Keno receive the news.
Moreover, according to Colonel Keno's understanding, although these poor people had obtained weapons, they were only a hundred or so guns. That was why he didn't think much of it. If Keno knew that the enemy had 100,000 soldiers, he would definitely not be able to sit still.
Previously, because of Colonel Keno's indulgence, as well as his own lack of self-control, it caused the entire military police team to be extremely corrupt, and now, it was his turn to swallow the bitter fruit of this corruption.
"Yamucha! Take two regiments to the slums and capture those rioters for me! This is a rebellion! " Because Colonel Keno didn't take Lina's rebel army seriously, he didn't send a large force or heavy weapons to encircle and suppress them. He only sent one of his men to lead two regiments of military police to suppress them.
"Yes! Colonel! "Major Yamucha nodded, then gathered his men and set off.
Although the current military police were the same as the group of people who fought against the sheriff's clone army, their morale and combat strength were completely different. Although they had not been under military control for a long time, under Colonel Keno's indulgence, the military police had been seriously corrupted. They were no longer in the mood for training, and their combat strength had plummeted.
The originally disciplined military police force was now sloppy. They carried their guns diagonally and swayed their shoulders. They did not look like a well-trained army at all when they walked on the street. Instead, they looked like a group of disgusting military ruffians.
Without any rapid marching or any strategic deployment, Yamucha led his two regiments of military police and took nearly four hours to reach the periphery of the slums. They could already vaguely see the barricades in front of them.
"We're almost there. Everyone, keep your spirits up!" Yamucha shouted.
"Yes …" The military police replied listlessly. There was nothing in the slums, so they weren't interested.
"After we take over the slums, we'll be free for a day. Although this place is poor, there are many girls!" Yamucha's words had the effect of boosting their morale.
"Alright! We've been waiting for you to say that! "
"Haha! Girls in the slums! We're coming! "
…
All of a sudden, these ruffians were excited. When they were in the rich district, these guys had no shortage of women.
The excited policemen quickened their pace, and in ten minutes or so they were in the vicinity of the barricade.
"That's it?" Many of the ruffians sneered as they looked at the poor people hiding behind the barricades, holding simple weapons such as Molotov cocktails in their hands.
"Charge over and kill all those who resist!" Yamucha ordered.
"Yes!" The military police cheered. After loading the guns in their hands, they began to advance into the slums.
As they approached the barricade, the paupers, who were carrying the Molotov cocktails, suddenly flung them in front of them, and then turned and ran; for the gendarmes were still at a great distance, and such a simple throw could not possibly injure them.
The Molotov cocktails shattered on the ground, and the liquid inside flowed out. Then, they burst into flames. The accompanying thick gray smoke dimmed the visibility of the streets.
"A bunch of cowards!" Yamucha sneered disdainfully. However, to his knowledge, the poor people's fighting strength and courage were only so-so.
"Charge in!" Yamucha waved his hand, and his military police immediately charged toward the barricades. As long as they crossed the barricades, they would be able to enter the slums.
However, at that moment, a gunshot was heard from the attic in the distance!
Whoosh! A long-range sniper beam hit a military police directly in the forehead. The military police didn't even have time to make a sound before he fell to the ground and died!
The death of a policeman was only the beginning. At the same time, dense gunshots rang out from behind the barricade not far away. Streaks of dark red light rained down from behind the barricade like a torrential rain.
Although the poor people hadn't received much training and they hadn't even held guns for more than two weeks, it wasn't difficult for them to aim in a general direction. Under the intense firepower, the unprepared military police immediately suffered heavy casualties!
"Damn it! Ambush! Take cover! Find cover! " Yamucha shouted and immediately rushed to the corner of a nearby building. However, the other military police didn't have his reaction speed and luck. In just a few seconds, hundreds of military police fell to the ground.
