Seeing that the city government, protected by the police, was chosen to convey their request, Mr. Porti walked up to the police and spoke. "We are here to petition the government peacefully. We hope that the government can understand our difficulties and hope to receive the same treatment. We are also Romanian nationals, and we also serve and pay taxes to the kingdom. This is our petition."
Facing the petition handed over by Porti, a city staff member took it and said. "Your Excellency, you should know that your demonstration has not been approved by the government. It is illegal, but we understand this for the sake of the citizens. I hope you can restrain them from making troubles, otherwise the government will not do anything about it. Ignore it."
It is clear that what this government worker said is warning them not to make trouble. And his words let Porti also let go of a hanging heart. Originally, he prepared for the worst, and the government would suppress their illegal demonstrations. Although this can cause concern, these protesters are from other tribes, and he can't bear to be harmed for this.
And now only got a warning, which not only achieved the goal but also caused everyone to retreat. As for the troubles that his leader might encounter in the future, he has long been ignored.
When Porti was negotiating with government workers, several people in the city hall were watching them.
"There are about 30,000 Hungarians in these demonstrations, but these people are vulnerable."
As the chief military officer, Major General Dolke first looked at the issue from a military perspective. Then he turned his head and asked the Secretary of the Interior next to him. "When will your people start."
"Wait a minute, it's best to wait until the patience of the people marching below is exhausted."
And just after they spoke, there was a burst of gunshots. Bloody blossoms appeared on Porti, the government worker and several people around him.
"Someone took the opportunity to make trouble."
Several people were startled by a few gunshots, and this thought flashed through their minds immediately.
As for the square, tens of thousands of people watched the blood spattered on Porti, who was in charge of the negotiations. The old man who cared about his family fell to the ground on the spot, and the gunfire also triggered a riot in the demonstrators. Some were timid and wanted to quit, and some sparks of anger appeared in their eyes. And more people are in a dazed expression, they don't know what to do next?
At this time, a roar came. "The government shot and killed Mr. Porti, and we want to avenge him."
So more people followed this voice and began to attack the city government.
In the face of the surging crowd, the police in charge of the frontline also ignored the consequences. At this time, no one would be reasonable and must pay attention to strength. Fortunately, they prepared guns and other weapons in order to prevent possible dangers.
"Fire."
Although the police officer leading the team did not know why it was different from the prepared plan, he still gave priority to suppress.
"Slap, slap, slap"
The gunshots of the police rang, and the person who rushed to the front row fell into a pool of blood. And the experience of the people in front of them calmed down many people's emotions. At this moment, they felt scared, and the crowd's shocking state was prevented.
And Major General Dork, who was in charge of this operation in the government building, was also giving orders. Although he didn't know that the forces were disrupting the situation, the priority was very clear. "Order the first regiment to go to the square immediately to suppress the riots, the second and third regiments are under martial law in the city, and no one is allowed to leave the city. The cavalry battalion patrols outside the city and intercepts anyone who leaves the city privately."
As the order was issued, soldiers in military uniforms around the square. Under the leadership of the officer, they ordered everyone to hold their heads and squat down. Anyone who didn't obey the order would go up with a gun butt. The troops of the Second and Third Regiment also began martial law. They closed all shops, and pedestrians were asked to go home immediately after their identity was checked. Under the supervision of the military, the market was instantly deserted. Doors are closed on both sides of the street, and no pedestrians can be seen on the street.
The actions of the army embarrassed these fleeing demonstrators because of their large number and attention, and there are no other people on the street. They are as eye-catching as fish exposed on the beach, so these people are caught by the army like chickens. As for those who live locally, they are not afraid, because the parade is seen by too many people, and the police officers in charge of the various districts in the city have already kept their appearance in mind on the street, and when they have cleaned up the crowds of protesters, it is their turn. Up.
The military's martial law also has an advantage, that is, it blocked Porti and others, who caused the riot and the government's wishful thinking, to bring down the city.
"How about, can you get out?"
"No, now every pedestrian on the road is searched under the military police. Moreover, all kinds of vehicles have been stopped and checked carefully. At present, it is completely impossible to get out."
The news reported by the subordinates made Dokeya feel nervous, and at the same time there was some chagrin in her. This time, it was messed up. Although she has achieved her goal, it seems that the government has the same idea as her. I had known this matter and would not intervene, and now most of the organization is in a dangerous situation.
So she said after thinking about it. "Anyway, the first priority now is to let us leave first. We can't do it. It doesn't mean that someone can't do it. As a local, do you know any underground merchants who deliver goods privately? Maybe they have a way. We stay here. It is very likely to be subject to a large-scale investigation by the military and police. It is too dangerous. Don’t be afraid to spend money, the fire of the revolution is more important."
The subordinate who received Dokeya's guidance quickly showed a person in his mind, and this time he was going to try with him. "I know a man who is the largest underground merchant in the city. Many smuggled goods are handled by him. Maybe he can find a way."
"Then you go, pay attention to safety."
Under Dokeya's advice, his subordinates went out again. This time he checked the remote roads and he believed that there would be results soon.
When Dokya wanted to run away, someone was already thinking about her In the city government, an agent was reporting the investigation report that caused the riot to the three persons in charge. "According to our investigation, the shooting came from a tall building next to the square. Our personnel found abandoned guns and bullet casings at the scene, and during their visits to the surrounding residents, they discovered that they were just when the parade was about to reach the square. Go upstairs, and after the shooting, these people left in a carriage."
Major General Dork interrupted at this time. "They shouldn't leave the city because my people have already begun martial law after the shooting. They can only enter and can't leave. These people should still be trapped in the city."
"So what do you mean?"
"Immediately began a house-to-house search, and searched through Bekéscsiao's bag to find them. If they escaped, we would all be at fault."
"Then do what you want."
As the order was issued, a more rigorous search began.
The news of the Békéscsaba riot will naturally not disappear with martial law, and news about the riot appeared in European newspapers.
