Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Before Patterson woke up, Mane had already learned the news of Oscar's death.

To be honest, Mane was a little surprised by Oscar's death. This was not within the scope of his and Zeng Wangcai's plan. However, Mane, who has the potential to be a hero, knew that now was not the time to think about these things. He had to finish the rest of the things according to the plan.

"I'm sorry, General Oscar has gone to heaven!" Mane started his performance again, "I started the war, maybe many people think I am a butcher, but what I want to say is that I started the war because we need peace and freedom, not assassination and terrorism.

"I wanted freedom and peace through the referendum, so I took the risk to start the tour, but some people don't want me to have peace, don't want us to have freedom... They launched a terrorist assassination during my free speech, thinking that killing me would stop our cause...

"They are totally wrong. What I want to say is that even if one of me dies, there are still thousands and thousands of me..."

This last sentence set Swindon Square on fire, with fans enthusiastically following Mane's chant: "Even if one of us dies, there are still thousands of us!"

Patterson was awakened at this time. He opened his eyes blankly, only to feel a splitting headache and then he could not feel his right hand.

"What's wrong with me?" Patterson, who had just woken up, temporarily lost his memory of what happened just now.

"Mr. Governor, you're injured!" The police chief immediately came over to report. "General Oscar is dead. The situation is dire. Mane has taken control of the situation. You need to step in and take charge. If his followers cause unrest, we need to follow your orders. You are the highest commander on the scene now."

I'm in charge, Nima!

Is this something that can be directed?

Patterson felt his vision go dark and he wanted to faint again.

But at this time, the second-in-command of the military, the direct superior of the soldiers on the scene, the commander of Oscar's elite brigade, came over with a phone after reporting: "Mr. Patterson, the Ministry of Defense is calling!"

Fake!

Patterson knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he stood up with the help of the police chief and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Patterson... Mr. Minister... Zeng Wangcai?"

Xiaobu's Secretary of Defense was not concerned about Oscar first, because Oscar was already dead and there was no point in caring about him. His second concern was not Patterson, because as long as he could speak, he was fine. What he cared about most was whether Zeng Wangcai was dead or not.

"I don't know!" Patterson tried to recall the scene, fighting off a headache. "When the shooting happened, I was facing Mane. Mane was shot, but he's not dead... Look, he's in control of the situation, and he's still giving a speech... Zeng Wangcai was next to me, and he was also shot, but I don't know if he's dead or alive... Okay, I'll try to find out."

The Americans were confused. They had experienced Zeng Wangcai's fake death, and all the gunmen responsible for the assassination had lost contact, so they were unsure of the outcome.

After saying this, what Patterson was worried about happened. He was given full authority to handle the situation.

How should Patterson deal with this?

He had no choice but to go ahead with it.

"Hey, Mane!" Patterson spoke during a break in Mane's speech.

"Friends, we are glad that the governor is not seriously injured. Let us invite the governor up." Seeing that Patterson woke up, Mane stopped speaking deliberately to give him a chance.

Patterson carefully climbed onto the lift platform above the RV again and saw Mane's haphazardly bandaged wound. "I'm very sorry that this happened in Carson City. I condemn terrorist assassinations just as you do. General Oscar is dead. Are you okay with your injuries?"

He really wanted to ask Zeng Wangcai what was wrong, but he knew now was not the time.

"I'm fine!" Mane closed his eyes in pain, remained silent for two seconds before opening them again, glaring. "I want to know why this happened. Mr. Governor, you must know who did it, right?"

The hat-tapping begins!

Mane was implying that the assassination was instigated by Patterson and his group.

"No, I don't know!" Patterson knew he couldn't admit it, even if he was beaten to death. Otherwise, he might be torn to pieces by Mane's fans in a moment. "I want to know who did it just like you. Look, I'm injured too. My head, my hands..."

At this point, the memory of his hand being clamped by the iron pliers just now awakened him. He looked at Mane in surprise, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He realized that something was wrong. That terrifying power, the power that could lift him up and throw him into the sky, the power that could crush his hands, did not seem like something Mane possessed.

Moreover, he had seen Oscar's body. Apart from the gunshot wound, Oscar's hand was broken just like his.

"This is your territory!" Mane angrily accused. "Carson is your territory, and according to the vested interests, only you have the reason to assassinate us."

"No, no, no, that's not the case!" Patterson didn't have time to think about the issue of power and continued to deny it. "If it were us, how would you explain the death of General Oscar?"

Oh, this is where my bad luck comes from.

Ma sighed inwardly, knowing that the accusation operation would not be able to proceed due to the accident.

The plan was for Mane to accuse the government of assassination, unite his fans, and persuade the wavering voters in California to make a decision that would benefit him.

But now, Oscar is dead, it's such a surprise.

As Patterson said, they are carrying out assassinations, why would they kill their own people?

And he is also a lieutenant general. Such a big man is not meant to be sacrificed here, and there are not many lieutenant generals in the United States.

Okay, next item!

Mane immediately changed direction. He operated the lifting platform and lifted the robot Zeng Wangcai up.

The robot Zeng Wangcai was lying on the lifting platform, covered with a piece of cloth, one end of which was stained with shocking blood.

The next thing Mane has to do is to reveal the "death news" of Zeng Wangcai to facilitate Zeng Wangcai's disappearance. Although he doesn't know why Zeng Wangcai suddenly made this decision, it does not prevent him from executing Zeng Wangcai's orders.

"This is our friend, California's friend, and a friend of all mankind... Mr. Zeng Wangcai!" Mane picked up the microphone and let his voice spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker. "The reason why we in California were able to resist the virus was because of the assistance of Mr. Zeng Wangcai. Mr. Zeng Wangcai came to our California in accordance with the agreement signed with the government, brought anti-virus supplies, and gave them to us for free. He saved countless lives, but was assassinated by despicable and dirty politicians... Why..."

Zeng Wangcai’s selfless deeds were not publicized much before, so they did not spread among the Americans.

Now, with Mane's promotion, Zeng Wangcai's image has immediately become more prominent.

Patterson didn't care about anything else. He suddenly squatted down and used his intact left hand to pull open the cloth, revealing the body of the robot Zeng Wangcai.
