Chapter 1025: Chapter 912: Tripartite Balance of Power_2

Wang Ye smiled and instructed.

Everything was going smoothly, all according to his plan.

......

At eight o’clock in the morning, all television channels began broadcasting live again.

It was still the dashing Natalia, just slightly haggard from a sleepless night.

Facing the camera lens, she solemnly announced,

"I am now informing all citizens of a matter.

After preliminary investigations, a political figure has colluded with overseas forces and planned organized violent activities with the intention of committing treason!

The office of the independent prosecutor has obtained a large amount of evidence. Therefore, last night, the capture operation was launched, and after a night of hard fighting, 265 people were arrested and 32 were killed on the spot..."

Although it was early, many people still watched Natalia’s live broadcast.

After all, last night the entire city was under martial law, police sirens sounded intermittently, and occasionally gunshots were heard. Most people had nearly a sleepless night.

And most individuals were utterly bewildered, not knowing what exactly had happened.

Now Natalia had unveiled the mystery herself. So that was it!

Treason?

Collusion with overseas forces?

Organized planning of violent activities?

These terms might seem distant to ordinary people, but they had now indeed become a reality.

Some listeners felt baffled, still unclear about what Natalia was referring to.

But some, as they listened, understood...

......

Dania hadn’t slept all night. From the sudden imposition of martial law last evening, he had sensed something was amiss!

This lockdown was very likely targeted at their planned protest tomorrow...

Initially, he had wanted to try going out of the apartment building to the street, but the moment he stepped down, he was scolded by the police and sent back.

Back in his room, Dania started exchanging information with netizens on a forum.

According to many, they realized that the situation was grim!

Even some usually active members on the forum hurriedly left a message saying "Be careful, stay safe," then disappeared.

By late night, information started leaking online, claiming that everyone in Yushchenko’s campaign office building had been arrested.

Some who resisted arrest were killed on the spot...

Moreover, many well-known public figures in Kiev, such as writers, critics, lawyers, journalists, had also been arrested.

They were accused of colluding with overseas forces with the intent to plan violent activities!

Some people on the forum came to their senses. Violent activities? That referred to tomorrow’s big protest!

Could it be that the protest was not just a simple act, and everyone was really being used by some overseas forces?

"What do you think... should we still meet in the city center tomorrow morning?"

Finally, someone in the forum posed this question.

Yes, given the current situation, there was a sense of being leaderless. Could tomorrow’s event still go ahead smoothly?

Dania wanted to impulsively stand out and call on everyone to continue to participate in the protest.

But then he thought that the martial law seemed to last the whole day, and he couldn’t even get out tomorrow morning...

Similarly, if everyone was unable to leave their homes, what about the protest?

If everyone gathered in one spot, not many, just a thousand or so, perhaps the considerations about martial law and blockades might not hold.

In sheer numbers there is strength. What one person dare not do, people grouped together dare!

But the problem was, they hadn’t gathered yet, everyone was scattered, and that immediately diminished their courage.

For example, Dania, he could command attention and inspire enthusiasm online, as fierce as a tiger swallowing thousands of miles!

He would vehemently criticize Gu Qima, Yanukovych, and others as parasites, and brag about hanging these old guys from street lamps in the future!

But back in reality, if he faced those big guys who were tall and well-built downstairs alone, a single look from them could terrify him into quivering...

Without a leader, Dania dared not take the initiative to "stir up trouble".

He feared that searching for trouble could turn into seeking death...

......

Clearly, most netizens in the forum felt the same as Dania.

When someone led the charge to make trouble, everyone was extraordinarily excited, responding enthusiastically, seeming eager to create a major disturbance and hang all those vested interest holders from chandeliers!

But once they encountered an obstacle, with no one to lead anymore, having to go it alone and face those "fierce and ferocious" police and special action teams,

everyone immediately deflated and felt utterly unbrave.

As the night grew deeper, the forum gradually quieted down, and Dania still refreshingly checked the forum reluctantly.

He still held hope, perhaps a miracle could happen...

But around four or five in the morning, when Dania refreshed the forum page again, a "404" network error suddenly appeared.

The forum was gone!

He was stunned for a moment, instinctively trying other websites, thinking it was a network disconnection.

However, other websites could be accessed normally, only the forum he frequently visited was inaccessible.

A thought struck Dania, and he tried to log into several other websites, including some very popular portal news sites and forums where they liked to gather.

Just as he suspected, most websites could be accessed normally, but those related to supporting Yushchenko or discussing the major protest were blocked...
