Chapter 147 Because the People Are Crying Out
“But Mr. Guevara…they have a lot of guns.”
"So you're willing to kneel at their feet, Treasurer? Look at the flag above our heads, would it kneel at anyone's feet? Gentlemen! I, Guevara, must tell you today! From the moment President Alice established the Federal Republic of America, the so-called nobility, the so-called royalty, ceased to exist!"
"Our great nation has risen from the ruins, and so have its people! Brothers, brothers and sisters of Halvin! Are you still willing to be slaves?"
"Do you willingly allow them to violate your wives and daughters, insult your parents, and take away your land and property? Even if they take everything away from you, are you still unwilling to raise your swords and spears?"
"Brothers, my brothers of the proletariat! We have nothing left to do. If you take up arms and shoot them today, they will never dare to exploit you again tomorrow!"
"Fight or be a slave!"
Guevara stood on a table, the villagers of Halvin were either fanatical, timid, or indifferent. Guevara's beard had not been trimmed for days. He wore the beret of the 75th Ranger Regiment and raised his arms to shout.
"If you won't fight... you'll be a slave!"
"I never want to be a slave again!"
“Mr. Guevara… what about the police and the army…? We will rebel against the nobles…”
"There are no nobles! We, as citizens of Amerlane, are resisting oppressors and truly lawless criminals. The Constitution supports our spirit! Brothers!"
Guevara knew that this operation would not attract the so-called garrison or external police. The old nobles of Halvin were to be purged according to the secret intelligence agency. Although an agreement was reached on the surface, the higher-ups would not be lenient towards these remnants of the previous dynasty. The nobles offered up their land and money, but their heinous crimes were passed down by word of mouth here.
According to past ideas, nobles were undoubtedly important, but the empire is gone. Under the republic, between nobles and the people, only the masses are valued by those above.
The people of Halvin cried out for liberation. Guevara knew that it would be useless for others to liberate them; only by liberating themselves could they prevent anyone from enslaving them again.
Guevara's organization and incitement quickly took effect. On October 1, 656 AD, 13 days before Amelia's National Day, a song had become a popular tune in the Halvin region.
"Arise, sing, and march on to victory!"
"The banner of unity is already moving forward!"
"Come join us!"
"You will see your songs and your flags waving."
"The dawn of that red light has already heralded the arrival of a new life!"
"Arise, fight! The people march to victory!"
"A better life is coming; let's go and pursue our own happiness!"
Whenever the nobles' lackeys walked the streets, whenever the nobles went out, the people of Halvin would gather together and sing this simple song, shouting in the Halvin elven-accented common language, and waving their fists.
"Damn it, what are these peasants doing?"
Some people held guitars, while others played simple drums. The simple music was accompanied by heavy and powerful drumbeats. As soon as the nobles' lackeys arrived in the countryside, they were surrounded by fully armed people with guns. The nobles who were extorting money at high interest rates suddenly realized that they could no longer take anything from the people of Halvin.
The Halvin People's Resistance Organization was gradually joined by the residents of Halvin. Whenever the nobles sent men to collect debts, the organization members would notify them, and the armed militia would surround and block them.
The nobles' income was decreasing, but they still controlled the local government and police station. The conflict between the two sides was becoming increasingly intense. The Harvin People's Resistance Organization not only focused on armed struggle, but also on public opinion and legitimacy. The nobles' extortion was completely illegal, but the police station and government, which were fed by money, not only condoned this phenomenon, but the local government was also unable to mobilize the army. However, the police recruited from the nobles' forces beat and beat the people, and imprisoned many residents who participated in the resistance.
They could no longer endure it, they could no longer kneel down, and new ideas spread southward with the army, with the spirit of resistance against tyranny resonating in the national anthem.
"You lowly people! Get out of here!"
"This is my home, you dog! Get out of Halvin! This is our land, our homeland, not yours!"
"Officer! Arrest them!"
The nobles and the people were locked in a standoff, with the fully armed people on one side and the nobles and their well-fed police and thugs on the other.
The elven residents, carrying rifles, held their Sharps rifles, revolvers tucked into their belts, and bullet belts wrapped around their bodies. Under the Second Amendment, people had the legitimate right to bear arms, and even the well-fed police were helpless, since the weapons in the hands of the police were no different from those in the hands of the residents, and there were even more elven civilians in Halvin.
"Sir, it's not that I'm afraid, but look at how many guns they have..."
When the reunification was first established, the police were indeed a deterrent force. However, with the Second Amendment and the large-scale introduction of weapons into the civilian market, the police have lost their deterrent power. Of course, the police in the North have also been armed, but this is certainly not the case in a small town in the South.
“We possess the rights granted to us by the Constitution, and the land beneath our feet is the homeland passed down from our ancestors. If you lackeys dare to step into our homeland again, we will no longer speak to you with words, but with the bullets of justice!”
"get out!"
The corrupt police slunk away, and the nobles, seeing this, had no choice but to leave. The fully armed militia stood ramrod straight. Once they got away with it, they did it again. News of the militia's success in driving away the nobles spread throughout Halvin, and no one was afraid of the nobles anymore.
But they still had relatives in the hands of the nobles, which was far from enough. They looked at the noble mansions and the noble city of Halvin, which was what they called the complex of buildings built by the nobles outside Halvin.
"Brothers and sisters! Look, those nobles are no match for us, but driving them away is not enough. Do you see the noble city? Your children, your wives and daughters are still inside, and the fruits of our generations' labor are still inside! I ask you, do you dare to join me in attacking that evil fortress?"
"dare!"
"Break down their fortress! Long live Halvin! Long live the working brothers and sisters of Halvin!"
"Stand up! Brothers and sisters! Citizens! For our liberty, for our justice, for our lives! For a new world!"
