"A shocking murder in Wyoming, a fierce gun battle broke out at Yellowstone Farm!"
"LMS may be involved, and officials say it involves local gang conflicts."
“Tyson denies involvement in conflict: Conflict with Yellowstone Farms limited to business level.”
"The state government has stated that it will investigate to the end."
"Corruption, investigative reporter shot to death."
With the sound of a gunshot in Wyoming, the attention of the entire United States and even the world was attracted, and even the news that Artemis successfully entered orbit was suppressed.
Of course, what attracted them was definitely not the fact that John Dutton was shot and rushed to the hospital for treatment, but the bloody battle that followed between the Yellowstone Farm and the attackers.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of federal people are martial, which can be seen from their gun ownership rates.
The most talked-about story of this group of martial people is of course the war between cowboys and outlaws that broke out in the remaining "Wild West".
In a very short period of time, John Dutton was portrayed as a stranger hero fighting against power, while his son Keith became a lone knight who avenged his father.
If such a plot were placed in a film and television work, it would be enough to cover ten or eight episodes, not to mention that it happened in reality.
Many people came to Huangshi Farm to support them - the kind with guns.
Thanks to their efforts, the first batch of scapegoats were quickly caught. A certain gang organization originally active in Wyoming was almost uprooted. Even the Indian reservations, which had always been hostile to the mainstream, also participated in this round of suppression. .
The official attitude is extremely ambiguous. Of course they disapprove of vigilante behavior like Case, but at the cusp of the storm, they really do not dare to make too sharp a sound.
It would be bad if someone comes back and turns the fire on themselves.
After all, they are not completely innocent in this matter.
As a result, things began to develop in a strange direction.
Scenes that should have been handled by the government were taken over by private forces, powers that should not have been delegated were tacitly delegated, and cracks began to appear in the original meticulous order.
In this increasingly fierce conflict, the government has only retained one of the most basic roles, and that is:
Judge.
For the first time, the official control over the grassroots was completely eliminated and replaced by a coalition formed by public opinion and economic interests.
Some people realize that this momentum may cause huge harm in the future, but unfortunately, they can't do anything for the time being.
In the governor's office.
Arnold was sitting on a high swivel chair, while Munster stood respectfully opposite him, listening to his "teachings" word by word.
"The methods you used are too radical. I have said from the beginning that even if you have to use extraordinary measures, the situation must be controlled within the scope that we can handle."
"Don't you understand what 'the range that can be handled' is?"
"Deliberate provocation is acceptable, but indiscriminate harm is not; extortion is acceptable, but kidnapping is not; murder is acceptable, but assassination is absolutely unacceptable!"
"The conflict between you and them must be a story about two interest groups fighting for a piece of cake, rather than a story about a certain force behind the scenes instructing his disciples to attack the city in order to take away the cake!"
"Now, your story has gone in the direction we least want to see."
"You have to find a way to get it back on track - I don't care what method you use!"
After hearing Arnold's words, Munster spread his hands helplessly.
In fact, he was not unaware of this principle. Even this assassination operation was carried out based on this principle.
But the bad thing is that the people below found an unreliable team to take charge of this matter.
They diligently wanted to do the job professionally and neatly, but they did not expect that this was the key point that Munster tried every means to avoid.
It must be chaotic enough and rough enough. The more so, the Tyson Company and the state government behind it can appear innocent enough.
Long-range sniping?
Crazy. The correct thing to do is to stand by the roadside when he leaves the farm, attack him with daggers, stones and sticks, and kill him
Munster let out a long sigh and answered:
"No matter what, I will take care of it."
"Things haven't gotten out of hand yet. Give me a little more time - of course, give Huangshi a little more time."
"Their anger needs to be vented, and just in time, they can help you deal with the gang problem."
"Kill two birds with one stone, right?"
"It's not as simple as you think."
Arnold's expression is serious and cold. He is not a very smart politician, but equally, he is not stupid either.
From the recent chaotic situation, he has smelled danger-this danger is not directed at Tyson, but at the federal government, state governments, and himself as the governor.
He had to save the defeat in the shortest possible time, but he couldn't end the game himself.
This is a paradox. The vigilantes represented by Huang Shi have taken away his power at the grassroots level, but if they want to get this power back, they must first hand it to the other party.
In any case, his side has completely lost the initiative.
His brows furrowed tightly, and after a long time, he continued:
"No matter what, I hope you will remain a trustworthy partner."
"We must continue to join forces to achieve a win-win outcome."
"If anyone betrays the other party during this process."
"The final result is a lose-lose situation for both sides."
"I see."
Munster nodded solemnly and said.
There was a hint of subtle cunning in his eyes.
Yes, he still has to "cooperate" with officials during this time.
Because our own power has not really expanded yet, and we cannot yet reach the level of controlling the overall situation.
But who can say clearly what will happen in the future?
One day, there will always be an opportunity, and I will jump up and stand on top of the official head.
——
Of course, Arnold's thoughts were actually no different from his.
At this time, he was also planning how to use Tyson Company to achieve the goal of centralization and then kick it away.
They both thought they were "using" each other, but in a sense, they were just being used by each other.
As for who will be the final winner, they all hope it will be themselves.
But maybe, winners won’t emerge from them at all?
"Will he survive?"
Outside the ICU ward, Case looked at the doctor and asked.
His eyes were extremely calm, and his expression showed no signs of ferocity, violence, or cruelty. But even so, the doctor opposite couldn't help but shudder when he heard his question.
Because he knew that this was the man who had poured dozens of bullets into some unlucky guy who had been caught just a few hours ago.
There was even vague blood stains on his face, which was proof that he avenged his father.
Under his calm appearance, there was no telling how blazing anger was burning. If he answered the wrong question, he might end up like those unlucky people.
Thinking of this, the doctor carefully considered his words and answered after a long time:
"It should be said that he was very lucky. Although the bullet shattered one of his kidneys, it passed directly through his body and did not move around inside the body."
"This gives us at least a chance to rescue him. Judging from the current situation, his condition is not stable, but the chance of survival is still high."
"We will try to keep him alive, you can rest assured of that."
"Believe me, even if everyone in the world wants him to die, as a doctor, I will choose to let him live because I will not make fun of my career."
After hearing the doctor's confident words, Case finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He really couldn't bear the death of his father - for a long time, John Dutton was his role model in life, even an idol and a myth.
Even his own life is imitating his father's trajectory.
Join the army, train, herd, get married and have children.
He once thought that he would become a qualified farmer like his father.
But obviously, this is no longer possible.
Someone personally destroyed the life he dreamed of, but his fight back seemed so weak.
Keith closed his eyes slightly, looked at the nervous doctor opposite, and said:
"Doctor, don't worry, I believe you."
"However, I must warn you, if anything unexpected happens again in the hospital, I will be the first to suspect you."
"You know, I can't take risks. So, I can only choose to use the most primitive way to eliminate risks."
"I see!"
The doctor answered quickly.
"We have allowed LMS company security personnel to enter the hospital - they are your people, even if you can't trust us, you should trust them, right?"
Case nodded and said no more.
Seeing his performance, the doctor quickly left his sight.
After he left, another man walked over to Case.
And this man is the backbone of this revenge operation, the most loyal member of Yellowstone Farm besides Keith, Lip.
"I have already arranged the next step. There are a total of 11 armed men in one stronghold, all of whom have participated in different types of violent crimes. We can use the power of the Animal Husbandry Committee to clean up the crime."
"Cancel the action."
Case interrupted Lip, who was stunned for a moment and raised his head in confusion.
Cancel action?
Did I hear it wrong?
After the shooting, Keyes was always the one who most actively sought revenge. It was under his leadership that the gangs entrenched in Wyoming and related to the shooting suffered such a heavy blow.
And the purpose of doing all this is to find out the real murderer behind the scenes.
Now, before the answer is revealed, you want to cancel the action?
What a joke.
When have we ever flinched?
Keith also raised his head, glanced at Lip's confused expression, and then said:
"Such revenge is meaningless and we will never find the real murderer."
"The reason is simple. We actually all know who the murderer is."
"It's just that, because of timidity, we resist accepting the answer and instead deceive ourselves, trying to find a more perfect scapegoat."
"But in fact, the scapegoat is just a scapegoat after all, isn't it?"
Lip frowned, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"I do not understand."
"Is it hard to understand? It's Tyson who wants the farm and it's the state that's standing behind them."
"No matter how perfectly they hide it, interests don't lie."
“Whoever ends up eating the beef is the one who slaughtered the cow.”
"The real revenge should be directed at him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lip's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely heard the implication of Case's words, but the "meaning" was so important and terrifying that for a moment, he didn't even want to believe his ears.
Revenge on the person who actually slaughtered the cow
This is not a small fight, nor is it like what Huang Shi did before, holding the public security law in hand to "do justice for heaven", but directly tearing down the roof.
Such an action - no, even this kind of thinking is actually extremely dangerous.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Lip asked.
"What do I want to do?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Keith's face.
Then, he said:
“It’s not what I want to do, it’s what they want to do.”
"We are losing our land, losing the resources we depend on for survival, and losing our right to dream."
"And all of this is thanks to them."
"They can't hold on any longer, so they can only dig some meat from us to feed their ever-greedy appetites."
"Now, they just want the farm."
"But soon, they'll want more."
"They're going to want the money we have in the bank, they're going to want the food we've buried in the ground, they're going to want every inch of bone and muscle in our bodies."
“Capital and power have colluded, and the machine of exploitation is operating with unprecedented efficiency.”
"We will be ground up, made into feed and nutrients, and buried in this already muddy land."
"Lipp, no one wants to be someone else's feed."
"There is only one way to change our ending, and that is to completely destroy this machine."
"Do you know what to do? Tyson Group is not the key to the problem. Without Tyson, there will still be Star Farmer, and there will be other more capital groups popping up."
"only."
"I see."
Lip interrupted Case. He knew that the following topic was no longer suitable to discuss in public.
Therefore, he skipped the foreshadowing and asked directly:
"What are you going to do?"
Keith's eyes became confused.
After a long time, he spoke:
"Maybe we should first gather a group of people who have the same idea."
