The East German communists applauded the Chinese Communist leaders for the brutal massacre at Tiananmen Square. They considered at the same time suppressing the increasing protests against their own corrupt clinging to power using military forces against their own people. But those who were ordered to use deadly force against 70,000 demonstrators deny the execution of the order, and the rest is history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it could have come differently. Based on that historical fact, the story develops the alternative. In the fictional development, the communist leaders install a new agency equipped with power outside of any law to cleanse the elite from corrupt members as a signal to the people that the new leadership is the solution. Do the people fall for it? How does this new agency get set up? How is it Organized?
