Chapter 188 Occupy Wall Street (3)

Although Morgan insisted that suppression is necessary, and the sooner the better. But Governor Ruben Fenton is still reluctant to take such extreme measures. He still insists on one point: at least a high-sounding ultimatum must be given before the suppression.

"Just talk about obstructing traffic or something?" Morgan said.

"This is not good, it cannot constitute a reason to take such a mandatory action. We also need a more urgent reason." Ruben Fenton shook his head and said.

"That said, for health and immunization considerations!" Morgan said, "it means that they sleep on the streets for a long time, littering, and do not bathe, which may lead to the risk of epidemics. Therefore, we must take drastic measures to protect The lives of New Yorkers are safe. Is this reason sufficient?"

"Well, then, we immediately issued a espionage to them and ordered them to leave within 24 hours. Otherwise, we will take drastic measures." Governor Ruben Fenton said.

"No, twenty-four hours is too long. They really want to retreat, and it won't take that long at all! Two hours is enough! Give them three hours, no more. You know, every additional hour is delayed , It will bring about an hour's loss..."

"Captain, our people have already arrived." A soldier said to Captain Leonto.

"Everyone, this mission is very important." Leonto said to the cavalry under his command. "This action requires us to be decisive and resolute. I think you should be able to understand what this means. If the mission is completed. Well, it’s done to the satisfaction of the above. This month, each of you will get a special reward of 25 US dollars. If someone is injured in the action, he can get the best treatment in the best hospital in New York, all expenses are covered The government is responsible for paying full wages and allowances during the recovery period. Depending on the condition of the injury, a one-time condolence payment of ten to one hundred dollars will be given. Alright, do you understand now?"

"Commander, if those people don't obey, if we do it, how do we know how to handle it?" a cavalryman asked.

"Proper measure? In this operation, our measure is not measured! Understand?" Leonto replied with a sneer, "Okay, let's go all!"

"Mr. Toldo, there seems to be something wrong. The banks on the side of the road are suddenly closed!"

When the parade first entered Wall Street, almost all the banks were temporarily closed, but not long after that, it was noticed that the discipline of the workers was maintained well, and there was no direct impact on the banks, plus the number of demonstrators. The rapid decline, so some banks began to try to open the small door and continue to operate. This move was not attacked by the workers, so more banks began to open their doors. But now, these banks are suddenly closed again. Although no relevant news has been received, the demonstrators instinctively feel that something may be wrong.

"Comrades, don't panic. Keep your breath." Toldo said. Although the people who are still staying are prepared to be suppressed, they are still quite nervous when they are really faced with the situation of suppression.

Ten minutes later, a team of about 500 cavalry appeared at one end of the street. The soldiers were already on their horses and ready to charge, just as they did in the usual battles. The only difference is that the sabers in their hands have been replaced with wooden sticks. But once a horse rushes up, even a wooden stick is deadly enough.

The horse team slowly approached a place about 150 meters away from the camp of the demonstrators. In this position, the cavalry can directly allow the horses to raise the speed at the fastest speed and launch an attack.

A soldier rode a horse and left the queue and rushed towards the workers. He almost rushed to the front of the workers to stop the horse, then condescendingly threw a piece of paper to the worker in front of him, and said: "New York For health and immunization considerations, the government requires you to withdraw from Wall Street within three hours, otherwise, we will take mandatory measures."

After speaking, the soldier turned his horse's head and ran back towards the cavalry line without waiting for the workers to answer.

Collins carefully aimed at a horse under the hip of a cavalry from the top of the building on the side of the street with a MacDonald 1857 precision shooting rifle. The cavalry is still motionless now. From such a distance, shooting a fixed target the size of a horse is simply too easy. Collins flipped the trigger lightly, but the gun did not sound. In order to achieve higher shooting accuracy, the MacDonald 1857 precision shooting version of the rifle should avoid the impact of the force when triggering the trigger. Reduce the trigger force. For this reason, Scrooge designed the trigger stroke to be so long that it needed to pull the trigger twice to complete the shot. And this design of some sniper rifles copied from later generations has become one of the iconic designs of precision shooting rifles in this world.

Collins held his breath and pulled the trigger once again. With a "bang" of the gun, a war horse immediately fell to the ground with all four hooves, causing the cavalry on it to fall.

"Under attack! Immediately counterattack!" Leonto commander raised the stick and ordered, "Follow me, rush!" So hundreds of cavalry immediately rushed towards the workers' camp like a flood.

Collins quietly put away the gun and disappeared like a ghost.

The sudden sound of gunfire frightened the workers. Originally, they thought they would be attacked by the cavalry for at least three hours, but in a blink of an eye, the situation was completely out of control.

"Who is it? Who fired?" someone asked."No, we didn't shoot, we didn't carry a rifle. It's impossible to hit a cavalry that far away." Someone replied.

But now, such questions and answers are meaningless, because the cavalry has rushed forward.

Commander Leonto waved the wooden stick and drew fiercely towards the face of a young worker who was looking at him in astonishment. The tip of the wooden stick hit the worker's face accurately, and the enormous power was not only The skin on his face was completely torn apart, his mandible was completely shattered, and his entire head was turned in the direction of the stroke, turning to a completely incredible angle. Then the worker didn't even shout, and fell over. This strike directly broke his cervical spine. In fact, when the horses are running at high speed, the clubs wielded by the cavalry are not much less powerful than the real sabers.

Some workers who reacted took out their own pistols and tried to resist. But the pistol is too weak to deal with the cavalry. The range of the pistol is quite limited. Well, according to the instructions, it can have an effective range of about 50 meters. At a distance of 50 meters, the cavalry rushed over in the blink of an eye. What's more, the so-called effective range of 50 meters is actually just a theoretical value. In fact, a pistol that could effectively shoot a target at a distance of 50 meters did not exist at that time. Even in future generations, there are only a limited number of pistols that can effectively shoot targets at a distance of 50 meters, and these limited types of pistols have a common feature, that is, they are all equipped with one that can bear the shoulder. The butt of a rifle.

Because the aiming line is short and the handheld jitter is large, in fact, even if the pistol is used to shoot a fixed chest target at a distance of 15 meters, a novice will not necessarily be able to shoot even one shot after a 15-round magazine. The bullet hit the target. And if it is a sports target, even a well-trained person can hardly guarantee a shot before emptying the magazine. Those on TV who are holding pistols, hitting a hundred shots and hitting wherever they want, are actually just bluffing. As for the current workers, although some of them have guns, they rarely practice. What's more, they have to shoot high-speed targets like cavalry in panic, which basically has no chance of hitting them. For those well-trained cavalry, these workers are really easy to deal with. They control the horses to rush up, use their horsepower, and swing out the sticks. Almost every blow can knock a panicked worker. Fell to the ground. Sometimes, before the cavalry rushed forward, the panicked workers would fall to the ground on their own, and then be trampled by the horses advancing side by side.

After just one round of shock, there were no more demonstrators on Wall Street who could still stand. They all fell to the ground, and their tents and everything were overturned to the ground. The cavalry stopped at the other end of the street and turned the horse's head, but now there was no need to attack again.

The police in New York State began to come over to clean up the mess. They took the demonstrators who were brought down by the cavalry into a carriage, and then someone came to clean up all the things they left behind, and finally the municipalities. The waterwheel began to clean the streets, and after a few hours, the whole and Wall Street became clean again. As if nothing happened here.

"In order to avoid the health and immunity problems caused by the concentration of crowds, yesterday the municipality issued an ultimatum to the demonstrators occupying Wall Street asking to leave within a time limit. The excited demonstrators not only rejected the municipality's espionage, but also took the initiative to attack law enforcement. The law enforcement officers were forced to launch a counterattack and used force to expel the demonstrators from Wall Street. In the process, many law enforcement officers were injured. Today, Governor Ruben Fenton went to the hospital, visited the injured, and asked They expressed their gratitude. In an interview with our reporter, Governor Ruben Fenton expressed indignation at the attack on law enforcement personnel. He said that these criminals will be severely punished by the law. At the same time, he also praised the law enforcement personnel for their performance. Loyalty and restraint..."-"New York Daily Times"

"This can't deceive people." Scrooge laughed. "Now, Morgan's name is estimated to be ten miles away from the wind."
