290. Good!
"Today is such a good day." The people in the town felt that the sky was clear and the dark clouds oppressing their heads had completely dissipated.
The smile returned to his face.
When everyone meets, they are not like before, and they don't even dare to speak loudly.
Who would have thought that people like them would see such a scene, a public trial against the navy, and in front of all the people - how had they never seen this before?
"Yes, the weather is good, the time is good, and the people are very nice." The former owner and his wife of the tavern now look like they are celebrating a festival. Who would have thought that the whole world would change in just one meal.
Woolen cloth.
The crowd was gathering at the entrance of the naval base, and soon people from the entire town gathered here. They had lived in the same town for who knows how many years, so they were basically all familiar with each other, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
But the high platform in front of the naval base still looks a bit novel.
The gate facing the town, which is more than ten meters wide and several meters high, is completely open. Through the gap, you can even see the scenes inside the base. This is extremely novel for the residents of the town.
In the past, let alone seeing the situation inside the base, if they dared to stay here for a while, navy soldiers might come up for questioning and extort a wave of money. If they were unlucky enough to be caught, they would have to shed a layer of their skin.
The situation now is very different. The naval soldiers guarding the high platform look much more powerful, but they are all unfamiliar and definitely not soldiers from the base.
Some people who know more about this aspect have discovered that basically every one of these soldiers has a very high military rank, and lieutenants actually account for the majority.
There are also quite a few officers, and except for the soldiers on guard who have a serious look, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order are all very gentle, and there is no sign of the arrogance and domineering look of the navy in the past.
Soon, the residents learned that these naval soldiers were all subordinates of the naval hero who suddenly arrived here. They were elite soldiers from the navy headquarters, which were two different concepts from the navy at the branch base.
This is no wonder. Many people suddenly realized and understood why this situation occurred, and they had more expectations for this public trial that they had never heard of.
Of course, even if the navy is kind enough, the people who have been oppressed by the branch navy for a long time are still in awe of these navy soldiers and dare not go beyond them in the slightest.
This situation saves the naval soldiers responsible for maintaining order a lot of work.
As the number of people increased, the air became anxious. On the simple high platform, the navy began to appear continuously. As the time for the announcement approached, preparations were ready.
When Allen finally came on stage, it was the girl who screamed sharply: "Ah..." With this scream that contained three parts shock, four parts joy, and five parts disbelief, the cheers began to ring out.
Throughout the whole place.
"It's the hero Allen! Ahhh!"
"I'm going crazy. This is actually true. I can't believe my eyes. I actually saw Lieutenant General Allen alive. My God, he is so handsome."
"Look at me, look at me, Lieutenant General Allen, I love you."
"Woooooooo..."
Some girls have burst into tears, as if a crazy fan has seen their idol. In such a world where entertainment is very poor, the craziness for the people they admire is much higher than that of the crazy fans in the previous life. Moreover, Allen is far from being one of those who can only sing.
His jump and basketball training time is only comparable to that of two and a half years of traffic. He is not sweet, and is even a bit straight.
For example, on such an occasion, Allen's expression was not very soft, but rather serious.
In fact, the so-called public trial meeting is just an explanation given by Allen to the people here. It is not as formal as in the previous life, and the process is naturally very simple, because there is no process at all.
There was no host, so Allen stood in front of the high platform. He held a speaker in his hand so that the sound could be clearly transmitted to the ears of every resident.
There is no way for everyone to gather here in a town of five thousand people. After all, there are elderly people and infants who have difficulty moving, as well as people who need to stay to take care of them. There are also some people who do not believe that the navy will do good things anyway.
Some stubborn people did not come, and in the end it was about 90%.
Even if the open space in front of the naval base is wide enough to accommodate nearly 5,000 people, it is still somewhat unable to handle it. Many people stretched out, and many people climbed onto nearby rooftops. It is not too much to say that there is a sea of people.
Allen walked to the front, only a few steps away from the nearest people. He could even clearly see a few pimples on the face of a girl who struggled to squeeze to the front, as well as the transparent fuzz on her forehead, and
There were a few drops of sweat, her face flushed, and she was so excited that she was completely speechless.
The scene was very noisy, but as Allen's eyes swept across the crowd, the sound slowly began to disappear.
Until there was only the sound of suppressed breathing in the sky, Allen began to speak: "I'm sorry to meet you in this way. Some of you may know me, and some of you may not. Let me introduce myself now. My name is Allen.
, is a lieutenant general from the Navy Headquarters.
The reason why we are holding something like this today is mainly to apologize to everyone in person. I am sorry that the Navy has failed everyone, and I would like to express my most sincere apology to everyone on behalf of the entire Navy."
After speaking, Allen faced thousands of spectators and bent down deeply. His straight back was completely parallel to the ground, at an extremely standard ninety degrees.
Wow~~
The people who had just been quiet and narrow-minded once again made a noise. They could not believe the scene in front of them in their dreams. In the past many years, the Navy would never have given them such a grand apology. If it could treat them better,
Some people will feel uneasy, fearing that they have done something wrong.
But the scene in front of me is actually happening, proving that this is not an illusion.
Maybe, it's really different.
Allen bowed for a full ten seconds before straightening up and once again suppressing the noise of different reactions from the audience: "You have all had a very bad life for a long time in the past. It can even be said that
Miserable. This misery is not caused by various dark forces, but precisely by the navy that maintains the world order. This is our dereliction of duty and a shame for the entire navy.
There are many reasons for this situation, but the root of the suffering lies in the 77th Navy Beihai Branch Base. Anyone who is familiar with me knows that I never like to talk so much nonsense. Now let’s get to the point of today..."
The Navy's style has always been concise and clear, and of course there are some cumbersome procedures, but Allen has never liked those, and his style is also simple and direct.
Following his voice, rows of marines from the 77th branch base were escorted up.
The leader was naturally the original branch base commander, Colonel... Oh no, it was former Colonel Bolger. In the past, Bolger liked to wear expensive suits. The price of a suit was enough for an ordinary person in the town to pay for a family of five. Household expenses for one year.
But because of his special pumpkin-like figure, even if he wears expensive clothes, he will look very funny.
On the contrary, the navy prison uniform he was wearing now surprisingly fit him well.
The crowd began to commotion.
"It's Master Bolger..."
"What bullshit, Sir, you see clearly, Bolger is a prisoner and a criminal now. Bolger, this bastard, should have been arrested long ago. His sins to this town would be countless even if the entire North Sea were filled." .”
"Okay, okay, God is really wise. I didn't expect to see this bastard like this in my lifetime. It's worth it!"
"Mom and Dad, have you seen this? Bolger, this scumbag, will also be tried today."
This is the consequences of a scumbag taking charge of a powerful force without checks and balances. The entire town is living in dire straits. Not that no one resisted in the past, and all those who resisted died.
When ordinary people face a powerful violent organization, the most powerful violent organization in the world that acts in the name of justice, they may only despair.
"Everyone should know this man. I think his reputation here should be louder than mine. Maybe some of you don't know me, but there will definitely be no one who doesn't know him. I heard that even his name can be To stop the child from crying, I think this is not a rumor, but a fact that everyone knows." When Bolger knelt on the ground, Allen's voice resounded under the sky again, "Polger, as a person The commander of the naval branch base did not want to protect the order of the area under his jurisdiction. Instead, he acted as a protective umbrella for illegal forces and blatantly oppressed ordinary people. Therefore, when I learned about his situation, I did not hesitate and immediately Came here to deal with this scum in the navy."
Following Allen's words, the people's eyes became brighter and brighter, and they realized once again that Bolger had reached the end of his life.
The dust that once caused the misery caused by Bolger became a mountain weighing on their heads. Now, the mountain has completely disappeared, the sun shines again, and the fresh wind blows.
They just felt extremely comfortable.
"I have captured many pirates in the past. Some pirates are truly vicious and inhumane. For them, the misery of others is their source of pleasure. But I did not expect that there are similar people in our navy. " Allen's voice continued, becoming the most beautiful note under the sky, "After arriving here, I discovered that the situation here is more serious than I imagined.
I will briefly list the crimes committed by Bolger here. It is simply shocking and too numerous to describe. In the past ten years, the slave traders secretly controlled by Bolger arrested and sold a total of nearly a thousand people. Among them, the proportion of children Accounting for 50%, adult women account for 30%, and others account for 20%.
Needless to say, the production of poisons and arms is difficult to calculate. You may think that these should be relatively far away from you, so let’s talk about some close ones. According to the interrogation results, Bolger directly caused eight murders in the town. Twelve members of the family lost their lives, needless to say indirectly.
So today is not so much a public trial as it is a public meeting to seek justice for everyone. Justice is never absent, at least not for me. My only regret is that I came too late.
Next, one of my lieutenants, Bucky, will announce the punishment for the criminal group headed by Bolger."
After finishing speaking, Allen turned around and walked back to his seat to sit down, while Bucky picked up a stack of papers, without any of his usual talkative appearance, but solemnly announced the result of the penalty.
"Colonel Bolger, the former commander of the 77th Navy North Sea Branch Base, committed the following crime..., and based on the trial, the following penalty is imposed. All of Bolger's property will be confiscated and he will be sentenced to death." Bucky just read.
The crimes committed by Bolger only lasted a few minutes, which shows how many sins this man has committed in the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that the destructive power of what Bolger did was much worse than that of dozens of pirate groups.
When Bucky's voice fell, Bolger, who was kneeling there, had his eyes blackened and fainted.
Contrary to him, the people fell into carnival.
They played their hats to celebrate, and countless people cried with joy. Whether they knew the people around them or not, they hugged each other tightly, yelled, and vented their emotions.
Bucky also understood very well, and he didn't push it too much. Looking at the vivid faces under the high platform, Bucky somewhat understood why Allen would directly resist the pressure of his headquarters and also want to completely control the execution power by himself.
I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly shouted: "Long live Lieutenant General Allen!"
The voice was a little loud at first, but people immediately joined in, and soon the name became everyone shouting together. The sound was so loud that the clouds in the sky were so scared that they hid and did not dare to appear.
This chorus of shouting lasted for at least several minutes before gradually stopping.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet and stop talking nonsense. Now, parents with children, please cover their children's eyes so that they don't let them see the next scene." This is said, but in fact it is not strictly enforced.
.
In this world, death is a very common thing. For hundreds of years, every country in this world has never been truly peaceful. So people living in such a place, including children, are naturally used to seeing death.
.
Just at this time.
Many parents didn't take it seriously at all, and some even raised their children on their shoulders to let them see more clearly.
There is no way to control these.
"Bring Bolger up and execute him on the spot." Bucky's voice didn't waver at all, which meant that today was a special situation. In the past, there would have been no chance that a little person like Bolger would be remembered by Uncle Bucky.
.
"No! I don't want to die. I can atone for my sins. Please, Lieutenant General Allen, please let me go. I don't want to die!" Bolger seemed to finally react and shouted loudly.
But this had no effect at all. The people responsible for escorting him were two lieutenant colonels from the Navy Headquarters. Their strength was much greater than his. He didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was escorted to a place specially reserved for execution.
After Bolger knelt down and did not give him a chance to continue struggling, the soldier in charge of the execution raised his spear and pointed it at the back of his head.
boom!
"good!!"
