Chapter 1021: Chapter 910: The Entire City Under Martial Law_2

Many people from the circle that jointly supported Yushchenko had left, but Dania stayed.

He firmly believed that all these things were fabricated, a concoction by Yanukovych and his people with the sole purpose of smearing Yushchenko!

There were no few who thought like Dania; rather than saying they chose to continue believing in Yushchenko, it was more because they were unwilling to see their ideals completely shattered.

Everyone grit their teeth and continued to support Yushchenko, clinging to the last thread of hope.

But as the election drew to a close, Dania and the others fell into a slump, the deficit was too large, there was no longer any chance of overturning the result.

They found it difficult to accept this outcome, and the numerous media reports about election rigging, Yanukovych cheating on a large scale, and so on, began to stir anger in Dania and the rest.

Dania believed these reports because he felt, if the election were truly fair, how could Yushchenko have fallen so far behind!

So, for sure someone must have been committing fraud, cheating!

For the past two days, it was hard for the boiling anger to find an outlet, Dania felt like a caged beast...

Of course, this is just describing his mood.

......

On the evening of February 18th, the final election results were out, and just like everyone had expected, Yanukovych was far ahead, Yushchenko had suffered a crushing defeat.

Seeing this outcome, Dania had become numb. In the forum where they often communicated, aside from a few who were angrily posting, cursing Yanukovych shamelessly, most people were too disheartened to say anything, as everyone was in a bad mood.

Emotions were accumulating in silence, and Dania felt he had to do something, he couldn’t just quietly accept defeat.

But as for what exactly to do, he couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

Sitting in front of the desk, he refreshed the forums and websites over and over, too dispirited even to eat dinner.

Around seven or eight in the evening, he suddenly received a message from a fellow netizen, telling him to hurry to the forum for a meeting, something big was going to happen!

Dania’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly switched browsers, heading to his most frequented forum.

Indeed, on the main page of the forum, there was a striking pinned post marked in red.

The title was incredibly eye-catching, a bold and red line of large print "Tomorrow, let the whole world see our yearning for democracy and freedom!"

His hands trembling slightly, he clicked on the post, and after skimming through it, Dania felt an electric current surge from his feet to the top of his head, his skin crawling!

The post clearly spelled out a call for all of Yushchenko’s supporters to gather for a massive rally in the downtown plaza the next morning, with the aim of overturning the results of the election entirely.

It called for a re-election, and Yanukovych was not to participate...

If the government didn’t agree to their demands, the rally would continue indefinitely, all of Kiev would be paralyzed, all streets would be blocked, all public facilities would be burned down and smashed...

In short, it was a clear message to everyone that this was not going to be a so-called peaceful rally, but a violent one!

But such means were precisely what Dania and people like him welcomed.

At that moment, when he saw that post, Dania suddenly realized that what he had been wanting to do was exactly this!

Yes, the rotten old order must be overthrown and smashed to pieces, so that a new order could be born.

In this pursuit, one should not have delusions about a peaceful transition, since those who benefitted from the old order were not going to hand over power and their advantages easily.

Thereby, more effective means had to be employed; it might entail some destruction and costs, but all of it was worth it!

......

The post ended by asking those who were willing to participate in tomorrow’s rally to leave a message, and Dania promptly refreshed the post to find that already thousands had left their messages below.

They were unanimous in their support, insisting on being present!

Of course, Dania too left a message immediately, full of excitement, and then vigorously discussed with netizens in the forum what kind of clothing to wear and what sort of gear to bring for the next day.

Whether to bring weapons and start the fight...

Tonight on Ukraine’s Internet, this kind of situation was omnipresent, with many forums hosting similar posts.

Almost every post was followed by numerous netizens leaving messages of support, declaring that they would definitely participate in the large march tomorrow.

Of course, a considerable portion of these individuals truly supported Yushchenko, but there was also a significant number who may have been simply joining in on the commotion...

Nevertheless, the mobilization for this march was quite efficient.

In just one evening, they were able to gather... If someone were to take count, the number of people who left messages to participate might have already surpassed one hundred thousand!

That is a rather terrifying figure.

As time went by and the situation fermented, when it actually began tomorrow, there would likely be some who would join directly.

A march with over one hundred thousand people, that would make waves in any country and could not be ignored.

Not to mention this event was not going to be a peaceful affair, but would involve vandalism and looting...

The participants were almost all young people, whose potential for destruction was very strong.

......

While Dania and others were still discussing online throughout the night, unable to sleep, a major operation had already commenced within Kiev City.

Natalia was dressed in her crisp prosecutor’s uniform, with two gold stars on her shoulder and a wide-brimmed hat on her head, exuding a valiant and spirited aura!

She stood at the podium of the large conference hall, making the final mobilization.

"Comrades, the specific tasks for each team, the detailed information of the personnel to be arrested, have all been distributed.

What I want to say last is that we must ensure the absolute completion of the mission because it relates to the survival of the entire Kiev, and even our whole country!

The severity of this matter cannot be overstressed.

Therefore, we must completely nip any trouble in the bud tonight, before the events truly unfold, by arresting all main organizers without exception.

If anyone dares to resist or refuses to be arrested during the operation, I authorize you, in my capacity as an independent prosecutor, to shoot them on the spot!

Any individual or organization that impedes our law enforcement action will be treated as treasonous!

..."

Natalia’s words sobered everyone present.

They all knew what might happen tomorrow and what they were going to do tonight.

Indeed, as Natalia suggested, if they were allowed to cause trouble tomorrow, nobody could guarantee where the country would be headed.

Of course, most people there had been transferred by Natalia from Crimea, and many were actually employees of Wagner.

Now that Boss Mikhail and Colonel Androf had both authorized Natalia, naturally, everyone was following her orders.

Finally, following the order "Begin the operation," everyone quickly got up and left the conference hall.

Outside, in the plaza, rows of vehicles and fully armed law enforcement teams were already prepared, with each team leader, under the cover of nightfall, dispersing to different corners of the city of Kiev based on their assigned tasks...

......

After dispatching the teams, Natalia’s work was far from over.

She went directly to a nearby temporary studio.

Inside, a live broadcast team from the National TV Station had been waiting, and as soon as Natalia entered, the live broadcast commenced immediately.

Simultaneously, throughout all of Ukraine, as long as the TV sets were still on, regardless of the channel, Natalia’s live broadcast appeared on every screen.

Natalia stood erect, her expression serious and even grave, as she announced in a heavy tone:

"Entrusted by the Presidential Palace, I hereby announce that, effective immediately, Kiev City is in a state of emergency. All individuals are to remain indoors and not go out."
