Chapter 160 Ridgway: None of this has anything to do with me.
“We are against war.”
"We want peace, not ashes shipped back from the peninsula."
"Cancel any operations involving the peninsula and get our soldiers back from that devilish battlefield as soon as possible."
Below the Platinum Palace, unified slogans continued to ring out.
Led by their leader, the huge crowd shouted these slogans in unison.
Then people passing by joined in.
For a while, the entrance of the Platinum Palace was bustling with activity, and even attracted journalists stationed there.
Taking photos like crazy.
There was a happy smile on his face.
As the saying goes, watching the fun is never too big a deal.
They actually hoped that these leaders would raise their arms and lead the charge into the Platinum Palace and capture Durumen alive.
That way they have new content tomorrow morning.
The police responsible for maintaining order stood at the gate of the Platinum Palace in full alert, looking at the angry crowd nervously.
They are afraid too.
There are only a few dozen of them. If these people rush up, they will not be able to resist at all.
The source of all this came from the spread of news of the destruction of the USS Wright in America.
When the news that the USS Wright was bombed in South Korea reached their country, the people of the United States were also furious.
Another one of these was bombed?
This was not long after their last aircraft carrier was bombed.
Could it be that their aircraft carriers can only go over and be hit by other people's missiles?
The people of Eagle Sauce Country were immediately angry.
What are these officials doing? Is there shit in their brains?
This is simply a joke with their taxpayers' money.
I gave you the money, and this is how you use it?
This cannot be tolerated.
As we all know, the Eagle Sauce party has always been famous for its internal chaos, and now such a thing has come out.
Those people were excited.
As a result, some people with ulterior motives organized a massive protest march that instantly broke out.
They are certainly not condemning the rabbit's behavior.
Instead, they are opposing their government's continued actions on the peninsula.
So useless.
Not to mention the waste of money and manpower, the losses have been so great in just a short time.
Hundreds of thousands of people disappeared, and two aircraft carriers were destroyed.
Even so, there is still no hope of victory.
What's the point of fighting?
Other people were moving the spoils home, but they were constantly adding residents to the cemetery.
In their view, the military action on the peninsula is a meaningless action that will only hinder them.
The United States claims to be a free country, but its free citizens are no pushovers.
If you are unhappy, march in protest.
Their taxpayers' money was not meant for their Truman to squander like this.
Downstairs in the Platinum Palace, Durmen looked down with a frown.
He didn't expect that the parade would come so unexpectedly.
And arrived at the gate of Platinum Palace.
Smith, the foreign minister of the Eagle Sauce, said, "Commander, do you want to send troops to disperse them all?"
disperse?
Hearing this, Du Lumen frowned slightly and looked at the big black man, shaking his head secretly in his heart.
Can this be dispersed by using the power of weapons?
He didn't even need to use his eyes to see that the reporters next to him were still taking pictures.
They were worried about not having a good title.
If someone dares to do this, what will be the headline of tomorrow's Blue Star newspaper?
Du Lumen has thought it all out.
(Shock! Riots broke out outside the Platinum Palace. Durmon ordered a forceful expulsion, fearing he would lose the support of the people.)
(Shocking news! A large-scale riot broke out in the Eagle Sauce, and the Platinum Palace may be flooded with blood.)
(The Eagle Sauce suddenly rioted, and the Platinum Palace has fallen.)
……
"Let them shout. When they get tired of shouting, they will go back."
Du Lumen looked out the window at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the Platinum Palace, as well as the banners and slogans demanding that he get off the stage, and closed the window silently.
This is nothing. Every commander in history has encountered such a thing.
What can he do.
He couldn't just rush over and shout to this group of people, "If you can do it, go ahead."
If this happened, he would probably be beaten to death by this group of people.
Du Lumen didn't dare.
Because the people of their country have a tradition of assassinating their leaders, and they have killed three of them.
However, there will always be someone to take responsibility for it all.
The number one scapegoat, Ridgway, is now standing in his office.
Truman looked at Ridgway who was standing there, his mouth twitched, and he said gloomily: "Ridgway, it's all because of you, this idiot, that our operations on the peninsula have become like this. Now how are you going to let us face the people down there?"
Richie lowered his head slightly, feeling a little aggrieved.
Can you blame him?
Who could have thought that missiles would suddenly appear in the sky, three in a row.
It makes people hard to guard against.
Seeing the murderous look in Durmon's eyes, Richway said in defense, "Master Commander, the responsibility this time is not ours at all. No one could have imagined that the rabbit would have such a violent reaction."
Truman and Smith were stunned when they heard this.
The responsibility is not on you?
That's on them.
Truman sneered and said, "Ridgway, shouldn't we also thank you for your final defensive strategy, which minimized our losses?"
"Thank you for letting the aircraft carrier be bombed and the nuclear bomb be detonated, but it didn't affect our soldiers, right?"
Richie shook his head modestly.
"Mr. Commander, our last judgment was wrong. This missile was not supported by the Russian bear at all, but the rabbit already has it."
"We shouldn't have sent an aircraft carrier over there with a mushroom cloud inside it."
Du Lumen was instantly furious.
Well, I asked you to come back and confess your guilt, but you have completely denied all responsibility.
Isn't this putting the blame on him?
You have to know that it was Truman who ordered the aircraft carrier to go there, and it was also he who proposed to carry nuclear bombs.
Besides, when you learned that the reinforcements had arrived, didn’t you vow that you could capture Rabbit and Goryeo?
Now that I let you come back, you actually try to pass on the blame?
Truman slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Ridgway, who are you talking about here? You are the highest commander on the peninsula. If it's not you who should bear the responsibility, then who should bear it?"
Ridgway argued, "Mr. Commander, this is not something I can control. You know, the USS Wright is almost 50 kilometers away from the coastline of the peninsula. We don't know where these three missiles were launched from. Who on Blue Planet has such technology?"
"We don't have it either."
"Who could have thought that this would happen?"
"Master Commander, it's not like General Qiwei didn't take precautions here, but the equipment used by this rabbit is too advanced, even beyond ours."
"He really can't be blamed entirely for this."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, American Defense Secretary Smith quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.
