Chapter 453 Familiar Stranger

Three years ago, the federal government, as the original controller of Thousand Sails City, still held a considerable part of social power even though it was being squeezed and excluded by major capital groups.

Zhu Jue thought that they might know part of the inside story about the human rights march, so he planned to ask Rona Nkaos for this information.

However, the reality was unexpected.

“The human rights march three years ago was originally a counter-offensive provoked by us to fight against capital!”

A vehicle happened to drive by outside the cafe window, its tires ran over the puddle, and the dark water spread out into a fan shape on the street. Amidst the splashing sound, Rona's words made Zhu Jue have no time to pay attention to the scene outside.

Time has passed, and many secrets have lost the value of confidentiality now. Rona clutched the cash roll, and he decided to prove his personal value to Zhu Jue.

The financial owner in front of him was someone he wanted to keep no matter what.

"Go on, your words make me feel like I've found the right person."

He took out a roll of cash again and pushed it in front of Rona. The money was well spent!

"I was not in the office during that time. At that time, we were still a fully functional government agency and still had access to a lot of information. As an insider, I knew that the situation at that time was already very critical for the federal government. Yuanfan Machinery , Crown Machinery, Blue Wing Machinery, Dewo Gene and Feng Family, these five consortiums or families that occupy half of the Ten Court Pillars swept the entire Qianfan City market with huge capital, conquering local wealthy and wealthy people in a short period of time. Some of the top people in the federal government!”

After realizing how generous Zhu Jue was, Rona immediately started talking, his eyebrows spread, and he introduced the situation at that time from his own perspective.

"Nearly 70% of the power to control the city had fallen into their hands at that time, and we, who were still loyal to the federal government, wanted to fight back. From a capital perspective, we had no chance of winning, so we were left with only one option. The will of the people!”

Zhu Jue knew about the ten courtyard pillars mentioned by Luo Na. Su Zi also mentioned it before when he was at the Yi League stronghold in Shenzhen-Hong Kong District. The so-called ten courtyard pillars were built with the image of masts in Qianfan City. stone pillars.

Because it is the most representative building in Thousand Sails City, many people liken the city's top forces or certain key entities to the Ten Court Pillars.

Rona mentioned the personal power of the ten court pillars, while the remaining five were public institutions, such as the Thousand Sail City Grand Court.

You can imagine how difficult the situation faced by the federal government was when these five top forces in Thousand Sails City united to fight against them.

"Did you find the person who led the human rights march in advance?"

The topic returned to the human rights demonstrations, and Zhu Jue's focus was still on the leaders.

“We did identify people, but they were not leaders.”

Following the descriptions of all the witnesses and participants in Rona, Zhu Jue quickly got an idea of ​​the human rights march three years ago.

The cause of the incident is divided into two parts. One is that most people think that the people are ignoring the capital consortium's interests and forcibly promoting a series of plans to transform Thousand Sail City.

The second is what Rona said is the federal government's dissatisfaction with the capital consortium's seizure of power. It attempts to use this method to intensify the conflict between capital and the people, thereby making it easier for them to fish in troubled waters.

From Rona's perspective, what he narrates is naturally the second part.

Due to the weak position of the federal government at that time, they were in a state of being marginalized. Naturally, they could not show their support for anything, and could only help secretly.

The leaders of the parade were undoubtedly easy to attract attention, so the federal government never thought of taking over the entire parade. It only provided some funds and intelligence behind the scenes, and tried every means to add fuel to the flames, trying to take back some of the things that should belong to the federal government from the wave of resistance they set off. Government power.

During the period when the parade began, the plan could be said to have gone quite smoothly. After all, the "Thousand Sails Race" construction plan itself did infringe on the rights of ordinary people. Their parade not surprisingly received widespread public support.

To put it harshly.

No one wants to be treated as a tool or even a slave, so the entire parade is almost spreading like a fire starting a prairie fire.

What started as a small-scale protest of a few dozen people eventually evolved into a march of hundreds of thousands of people from lower-class communities.

"Hundreds of thousands of people? The information I saw is only close to ten thousand people. It seems that the officials of Thousand Sail City are very concerned about the parade, and even such basic information has to be modified."

Zhu Jue was quite surprised by the actual scale of this march. You must know that what Suzi found was only described as a chaotic gathering of nearly ten thousand people in one or two communities.

The data given by Rona, an eyewitness, is naturally more authentic than what Motoko found on the Internet. From this, we can deduce that there must be some reason why the Qianfan City government kept secret about the human rights demonstration.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Jue found that the treatment he received in D6 Prison did not seem so difficult to understand.

"You have to understand that that was three years ago. The world's crisis was not as obvious as it is today. Most people only heard rumors about monsters that were the source of mental pollution. They still have a strong sense of rights protection."

Although there have been frequent incidents of mental pollution monster activity around the world since the Yecheng Catastrophe five years ago, all parties have reached a consensus on blocking this part of the news. If not for the fact that things have become more and more complicated in recent years. , the disaster is really difficult to cover up, and I am afraid that most people will still be kept in the dark so far.

To a certain extent, the psychological tolerance of people who now know that super cities are safer than dangerous areas is much higher than it was a few years ago.

Of course, there is no lack of "credit" for the Qianfan City government's propaganda.

“Now that it has achieved scale, why did it eventually fail so quickly?”

The scale of the demonstration of hundreds of thousands of people is no joke. Such a large-scale demonstration means that their demands are supported by several times or even more than ten times this number of people. No matter what they want to do, the government must support them. Pay attention to.

"As far as I know, the reason for the failure was a split within the organization, but it was not because of different goals or distribution of interests. It was because of some very strange trends of thought that appeared in the parade at that time, accompanied by some kind of weirdness. Phenomenon, our insider in the parade. I hope we can change the place to talk about the following content. My home is nearby, and I think you will be interested in some information."

Mentioning this aspect, Rona's expression suddenly became serious, he looked around, leaned forward subconsciously, and whispered.

Zhu Jue did not refuse Rona's invitation. He decisively stood up and followed him out of the cafe with an umbrella.

"Do you have any impression of Sean?"

On the way to Rona's house, Zhu Jue took the initiative to mention the target he was tracking.

"He should have participated in the human rights demonstration three years ago and was one of its leaders. He then suddenly disappeared after being charged."

"Sean."

Rona searched his memory, hoping to find information related to this name. After a long time, he still shook his head helplessly.

"It has been a long time, and my memory of that period only covers the general changes in circumstances. There may be mentions in some of the documents I have preserved, but it will take time to find them."

"The preserved documents?"

Zhu Jue turned sideways and asked,

"About the human rights march?"

"Yes, but only about what I just said. You will understand later."

Rona tried his best to avoid talking about those contents outside, so Zhu Jue became more and more looking forward to the inside story of the human rights march that impressed him so much that he actively collected information.

When he got into Rona's car, Zhu Jue chose the back seat in order not to wear a seat belt.

While driving, Rona was thinking about which folder he had put those materials in. He thought that he must pay attention to a few encrypted folders later. The "study materials" inside could not be exposed, otherwise he would be exposed in front of the money. It’s still a bit embarrassing in the Lord’s face.

Zhu Jue, who was in the back seat, was leaning against the car window, looking at the lines of rain streaking across the glass, recalling the information known so far, his eyes drifting unconsciously.

Until the vehicle turned a corner, Zhu Jue's originally unfocused eyes subconsciously locked onto a figure that looked somewhat familiar.

He was stunned for two seconds, then stood up suddenly and turned to look at the retreating figure from the rear window of the vehicle.

"Did you see someone you knew?"

Rona saw the movement in the back seat clearly in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask aloud.

"No, it just looks similar. I must have seen it wrong. She can't appear here."

After waving his hand, Zhu Jue leaned back on the seat again.

Although he said it was impossible, the scene just now lingered in his mind.
