Beautiful Another World Red Tide

The factory owners were in a hurry, trying every means to get the workers to return to work. Some directly bribed the military police to arrest the strike leaders in their factories, and some bribed some workers who were not determined to return to work. They wanted to use this as a model. Some even simply asked local hooligans to assassinate worker representatives and beat them to death.

This kind of despicable behavior is destined not to make the workers compromise. On the contrary, the more cruel the method is, the more angry the workers will be. The scabs who bought off often resigned guiltily under the angry eyes of the workers. During this period, everyone shouted and beat the hooligans. The factories set up workers' pickets to protect the safety of the committees and representatives and prevent such incidents. During this period of time, I don’t know how many hooligans fell into the hands of the workers’ pickets, and then they were tied to the poles of high-rise buildings for a day or two before they were released, or they were punished in various forms.

The factory owners are even more anxious, and they will not accept the hard and the soft. What do these workers want? !But often at this time, the workers will answer very calmly, as long as you are willing to support the parliament to pass a bill to protect the rights and interests of workers, we will definitely go to work when the bill is promulgated.

Yes, even such a simple request cannot be agreed to by the factory owners. If it is said that unilaterally increasing wages and shortening working hours, then the factory owners are capable. After all, it will be canceled after a while. They can't accept it anyway.

Businessmen are also supporting this strike movement. These small businessmen are the most severe group of people who have been exploited by heavy taxes. The harshness was far worse than during the reign of His Majesty Ivan.They also couldn't bear this situation, and resolutely decided to carry out a strike movement, established a merchant association, and announced that when the problems of workers' wages and merchant tax adjustments were resolved, they would reopen for normal business activities.

These people showed great unity in this movement. Although none of the beneficiaries participated in the middle and large businessmen, most small businessmen stood together with the workers under heavy pressure and persisted. Many businessmen therefore After accepting Leszek's thought, everyone will be equal in the end and live a rich and happy life. Many businessmen even donated materials to the strike committee for free during the strike to maintain distribution.

Merchants, these small businessmen in the Yongdalim society, they have better material conditions than workers, and they can barely support their children to read and write. It is common for several families to find a teacher to teach knowledge. Many of these young or conscious The merchants, and some young children of merchants, because they have a higher level of knowledge and know more than the workers, are also exploited both during the period of His Majesty Ivan and the provisional government.Therefore, he accepted Leszek's thought.

As soon as they accepted Leszek's thought, they quickly became steadfast members of it. Among these people, there were many middlemen of Leszek, and they also united the vast number of exploited laborers from all walks of life to carry out together an uncompromising struggle.

Many people were threatened by military police and ordered to open. If they do not open, it is illegal.They resisted with a more determined attitude, directly donating or burning the goods to show their determination.

The government officials also turned around in a hurry. The workers went on strike, and the merchants went on strike, which seriously disrupted the order in the royal city.They also have to face, and have to live a normal life, tobacco and alcohol are out of stock, all walks of life are resisting, and they can't even order their servants to buy vegetables. Officials are complaining, especially when they are still facing His Majesty Alexander and The double pressure from the military made them even more helpless.

His Majesty Alexander has criticized the inaction of the parliament and the new government more than once during this period, and has shown great kindness. He even used the right of amnesty to pardon many arrested workers, even though he has no real rights , but he is still the person with the highest status in name in the entire Yongdalim Kingdom, and still enjoys high prestige and love.

With the help of the Queen, His Majesty Alexander has been actively preparing for his comeback, and has always made very friendly moves. Of course, he is indeed from the heart.The pressure was enormous, and if Alexander had seized power with the support of the workers, the bureaucrats would have enjoyed it.Commander Victor was forced to do the same, always walking among the workers to enhance his image.

He also put a lot of pressure on the bureaucracy and the parliament because of this. Look at the good things you have done. If everyone supported His Majesty Alexander, would you still want to have a good life?Forget it!His Majesty Alexander, Commander Victor, and Sun Boyang's status as a former speaker have already given the workers and merchants a feeling that it is not that the big men don't care about us, but that these officials are too stupid. Those who are officials are not in the way, and if one is withdrawn, the situation will definitely get better! .

This kind of view can make officials even more anxious, because they pinned the blame on the nobles through this bottom-up method and cleared them out. Right now, this tragic fate seems to be about to When it happened to them, it was impossible not to be frightened.

128 Multiple pressures

The military representatives came to the bourgeois officials again and again, asking them to immediately find a way to get the transport workers and arsenal workers back to work to support the frontline battles, otherwise if the frontline fails because of this, the battle is defeated or forced to give up In a strategic location, don't think about how the frontline soldiers will treat you if they come back. Just now, if something happens, the royal city garrison will never guarantee your safety. "

That's right, the front line is still fighting. Originally, due to the autonomy of the northern forces, there was internal strife in the Western Royal Court, and the command was chaotic and unable to attack. The legion was also held back at this time.

The war baggage brought in by the supply line was less and less each time, and in the end direct weapons and supplies were all gone.In this way, how can we further expand the results of the battle? It would be good not to be counterattacked.Now the United Legion relies entirely on Jinping City to provide military supplies to meet the normal water and food expenses of the United Legion, but it seems that even Jinping City is on the verge of collapse.

After learning that Wangcheng workers launched a strike movement, all kinds of workers in Jinping City also responded to the general strike in Jinping City to support the strike struggle in Wangcheng.This makes the United Legion anxious, because it is only maintained by you, if you make trouble again, what do you think the United Legion will use to fight?

The coalition forces of the nobles have already taken this opportunity to fight again, and Earl Isiris insisted on continuing to attack against all opinions.The losses of the coalition army this time after the start of the battle were obviously higher than the previous few times, and of course the losses of the noble coalition army were also much higher.

But there is no problem with the logistics of the noble coalition forces, but there is a contradiction in the command of the front line. Although the noble and legion departments still want to preserve their strength, they also know the truth of killing you while you are sick, and each of them is also Reluctantly supporting the attack, as long as they are willing to spend and fight, it is really unknown how long the United Legion can last like this.

Under the pressure of many aspects, the Yongdalim Council held a general meeting from morning to night for several days in a row to vote and discuss, and the faces were red-faced.Right now, the bourgeoisie are caught in a dilemma, neither to advance nor to retreat, which really makes these elders feel that God is going to kill me.

Agreeing to the demands of the workers can indeed satisfy all aspects.How wonderful it is to sing and dance to make the country peaceful and the people safe.But what about the interests of big businessmen?What about the interests of the bureaucrats?These are the main levels that make up this government agency. If you agree, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing yourself?

Promise to establish a minimum wage, a maximum daily working hour, and unify all taxes. Yes, this is indeed possible. Just move your fingers, and the bill will be passed with a tick √. It is not impossible for big businessmen and officials. Accept, after all, laws are always just laws, and laws have to be implemented by people. Promise is one thing, but whether to implement it or not is another matter.

But if you agreed to this today, what if the workers make more "excessive" demands tomorrow?What if the workers are still not satisfied and ask for some parliamentary seats?What if the workers even threatened them to step down?Thinking about the problem in this way, the current situation is really terrible. Promising to the workers means breaking the hole. Once the hole is broken, it will be difficult to sew it back.

But it is obviously impossible not to agree, and the most important thing is, what should the front line do?The front line can still withstand it now, but if he waits for a month or two, it is unknown whether the front line can maintain it like it is now.At that time, if the United Legion was defeated and returned to the king's city, what would they have to face the menacing soldiers like wolves and tigers?

Yes, everyone is indeed wearing a pair of trousers, and they will definitely settle accounts with workers, but it is really difficult for you to be so stubborn at this time, and to ignore the lives of the frontline soldiers for the sake of a little profit. Let the soldiers believe that the bourgeoisie in Wangcheng have not degenerated into nobles.

Life is more valuable than anything else. If the officers on the front line are defeated and sacrificed for nothing because of this kind of problem, even if they don't turn their faces on the spot, they will definitely split. After all, they have to give an explanation to the soldiers under their hands, officer Most of them are indeed rich people, and the armored infantry can live well after retiring, but how should they face the light infantry with the largest number in the legion?

These people are serious civilians, or the poor. Whether they will sympathize with the workers is another matter, and whether they can understand the intentions of officials is another matter.

Based on various aspects of the game, facing the triple pressure of top leaders like Alexander and Victor, workers, and the military, it was finally difficult for the bourgeoisie to speak.

In the end, the bourgeoisie discovered that once they lost the support of the army, they were nothing at all.Now it is really a troubled time, what is orthodox or not, whoever holds the gun tightly is the boss.

The bourgeoisie made the last wave of counterattack. In the last days, they began to double arrest workers and attack the masses. Many workers were also executed on various trumped-up charges. All this did not really let the workers They compromised, everyone couldn't eat, and they couldn't support their family members by working day after day. In those days, workers often stumbled on the street and couldn't get up again.Really, the working class has reached the most dangerous time.

Now that victory is in sight, the crazier the enemy is, the more desperate they are. The workers united as one, and finally endured all this with great difficulty until the day when the bourgeoisie desperately began to release the prisoners.

The bill was put on the agenda again, and the parliament entered the final stage of decision-making. It began to vote to formulate a standard monthly salary for workers, the maximum daily working hours, who is responsible for work-related injuries and how much should be responsible for them, and the unification of taxes for industry, agriculture, and business. Issues that demand attention.

A number of high-ranking officials in the parliament clearly stated that the bill has been passed, and they are now discussing how much wages and working hours should be specified.Please go back to work and stop making trouble, we will definitely pass the bill within a week.

It was another bargain, after the council refused to allow the workers to set up a bill monitoring group to monitor the enactment of the bill.The strike is still going on, but there are no more demonstrations and other movements. For this reason, Commander Victor and His Majesty Alexander took to the streets again, calling on everyone to resume normal production and support the frontline battles.

Commander Victor has been hated to death in this labor movement. Although his reputation is not as annoying among the bourgeoisie as Sun Boyang, the weakness he showed also makes the bourgeoisie feel that he is embarrassing and useful. .Everyone elected you as the leader because they want you to stand up for everyone, but you have always shown sympathy for the workers and Sun Boyang's second look. What's the matter?

The representatives are very disgusted with Victor's weak behavior, and have already begun to plan who should be the next commander.Originally, the so-called election for this position was just for fun. As long as Victor is always willing to speak from the perspective of the bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie will definitely let him be the leader for a lifetime.But if you, Victor, don't know how to praise, then you can blame everyone for finding another capable person.

Commander Victor is still very smart. It is not his character to sit and wait for death. If he cannot win over the bourgeoisie, then there are still these workers who can win over.

These two great figures appear at the forefront of the masses every day, comforting the masses, and showing that they are united with the masses.Or invite Sun Boyang to criticize the incompetence of the government together, and then shout a propaganda slogan at the meeting, what if I continue to be in charge, I will definitely reorganize the government and the parliament.Why can't a country live without a king? What would be the consequences without a king's leadership? One after another slogans sprung up like mushrooms after rain. In order to please the workers, these two really did their best.

Whether it is the royalist faction around His Majesty Alexander, or the new government faction around Victor, these two days have really sent the first big business to the major newspapers that have just opened, making everyone still at a loss when they just started The newspaper bosses on the fringe are all smiles.

All kinds of public opinion and propaganda attacks continue one after another, and both sides are building momentum for themselves, which also indirectly promotes the vigorous rise of the newspaper. Of course, it is obvious that it is definitely not enough to promote the opening of the newspaper in this way, Yong Dalim The culture still needs a long time to develop.

……

Surrounded by his subordinates, Commander Victor waved to the crowd.

His son Victor Jr. also appeared frequently to provide help and support for his father. The father and son really did their best to encourage them.

"Workers, the government will absolutely be responsible for this matter!" Commander Victor shouted in front of the crowd.

Commander Victor looked very excited. Today he deliberately wore an ordinary suit to show his closeness to the people.He clenched his fists and announced it to the workers himself.

"I have been the commander-in-chief for more than a year. In fact, I have been fighting for power for everyone. You know, I am the founder of the new government and one of the charters."

Commander Victor said to the workers listening below.

This kind of speech was first created by Sun Boyang. Before that, no high-ranking official was willing to approach these poor people or communicate with them. Everyone is equal, and officials still have the mentality of being superior, and they don't look down on these workers at all.

The situation is different. If you want to maintain a high status, you can no longer treat these people as ignorant animals as before. The literacy class is expanding, and there are obviously a certain number of literate workers. As long as they exist, other workers will also You can know more news and understand the current situation, and you will not be easily deceived by factory owners.

If it weren't for the pressure from the three parties, the bourgeoisie would have dared to spend it and use various methods to suppress the workers, but right now, they really can't afford it, so they can only temporarily compromise with the workers.

129 Who is the visitor?

"As long as everyone supports me as always and supports me to continue to be the commander, I dare say that I will definitely urge them to handle the bill seriously." Commander Victor walked in front of the stage, assuring the workers Speaking of.

"Now everyone should hurry back to work and work again. The soldiers on the front line are fighting for us, and we must not let them down!" Victor shouted again.

"Master Victor, if you say that, what if the official sees that we have resumed work and refuses to approve it!?" A worker asked back.

"Don't worry, I will supervise. As long as everyone is willing to support me in my election, I will never let you down!" Commander Victor said with a big wave.

"And I also plan to re-elect Mr. Sun Boyang back to the parliament as the chairman of the parliament by the middle of this month at most. I know that everyone respects Mr. Sun Boyang, so he will definitely be restored to his post!"

This sentence aroused a great reaction from the workers. The workers applauded and applauded. Commander Victor thanked him repeatedly amidst the applause. recognition.

This kind of speech was very successful, and the workers felt that they were greatly respected. In addition, not only Commander Victor, but also His Majesty Alexander made various guarantees, and the workers began to prepare for the resumption of work.

Under the discussion and decision of members of the strike committee including Sun Boyang, the workers proposed to the factory that from the date of resumption of work, the factory must pay the wages of workers in accordance with the standards of the strike committee, and the working hours are the same. If the factory does not perform its duties during this period of time Right to strike at any time.

During the days of the strike, the factory owners were really miserable. They really didn't expect that these mud-legged people would be so surprisingly united, and because of this, they hated Sun Boyang, a big traitor, even more. It will be difficult for money, it is time to do business with Sun Boyang, everyone still has to do business.

"Brother, look at the way Victor is in command, as if he really loves the people. If you want me to see it, it's just a show."

Sun Lauer stood beside Sun Boyang and looked out the window, dismissing Victor's show off.

Commander Victor, His Majesty Alexander, in the eyes of Sun Raul, these people are far worse than his brother. If you want to say that you are close to Sun Boyang, Sun Raul may not dare to say that you are the closest, but you dare to say that you know him well. First, no one dares to admit second.

The closer he got to Sun Boyang, the more Sun Raul began to admire his brother, and the more he understood his brother's thoughts in detail.It can be said that Sun Laoer was more radical than Sun Boyang in this strike movement. Sun Laoer was in charge of the worker picket team this time. Not sure what happened.

"It can't be said exactly like that."

Sun Boyang dipped in the ink again, and said to Sun Raul with a smile.

"Do you know, brother, what does he really look like? That doesn't matter, what matters is now, what he shows now. If he can remain like this for the rest of his life, he can also be called a worker's friend." Sun Boyang put down the manuscript in his hand, turned to look at Sun Raul.

"I used to know such a person. If he is said to be hypocritical, he may look like it. But he has insisted on benevolence and righteousness all his life, and he is still a benevolent person until his death. In this case, brother, do you think he is in the heart? Is it filthy or not?" Sun Boyang asked.

"It seems... probably so." Sun Raul replied hesitantly.

"Compared with a benevolent heart but despicable actions, compared with a humble heart but benevolent actions. For the common people, the latter must be more able to do practical things for the people." Sun Boyang continued to follow the guidance.

"Doesn't that mean that this kind of person can enjoy a good reputation and spend his whole life in vain?" Sun Raul asked a little unconvinced.

"Oh, my brother!" Sun Boyang laughed, got up from the chair and patted Sun Raul on the shoulder.

"He has insisted on benevolence and righteousness all his life, and has brought benevolence and righteousness into the coffin. What do you want him to do?" Sun Boyang said with a smile.

"Be realistic. Reality is not a fairy tale, nor is it a deductive fiction. What we are doing now, and what we are striving for, is to make Victor into that kind of person."

"We have to fight for it." Sun Boyang walked back to the window and looked at the workers outside with his hands behind his back.

"Victor has been vacillating, not knowing which of the three forks he is going to take. During this period, we have to do our best to keep him here."

……

In the royal city, there is a tall hotel. This kind of place is extravagant and luxurious. Generally, it only entertains nobles, officials, or wealthy businessmen from other provinces. The people who come and go here are all big names with names and surnames, but it is a pity. , these hotels and hotels are now becoming more and more difficult to operate.

The provinces are in war, but these self-proclaimed big hotels are worried. How can they maintain the hotel only by the consumption of individual wealthy people in the central province?Therefore, every distinguished guest has become their key target.

If it is normal, in the past, these taverns should be inspected or inspected, and inspections should be inspected. Now, as long as you have money, who cares who you are?

Extraordinarily attentive, extra flattering.There are still some distinguished guests living in this resplendent hotel.They chartered an entire floor of the hotel as a resting place.These people spend a lot of money, paying with real money and magic crystals at every turn, and never default on housing expenses, which makes the hotel owner extra happy and flattering.

They arranged tall guards on both sides of the corridor on this floor. These guards were at least about [-] meters tall and almost reached the top of the corridor.They wore loose desert robes, under which they huddled their muscular figures.They also wear silver masks on their faces, never revealing their true colors.Obviously, these are extremely powerful bodyguards, the best adventurers from the Adventurers Association.

When waiters usually deliver food, food and wine according to the requirements of these distinguished guests, they will only deliver them to the entrance of the corridor, and then their own slaves will come out from the side room to take these things and deliver them room by room. Most of these slaves are elves, or The dwarves also have many exotic beauties who are obviously more gentle and beautiful than the Yongdalim, and whose hair is brighter.

The waiters and hotel workers were all guessing the identities of these great lords. Some people said that they were actually the royal family of Yondalim, and they would step up to the front stage and reign supreme as soon as His Majesty Alexander came to power again.Some waiters also said that these were actually the former elf royal family, who came to Victor to lead the United Nations.Some people even said that they were actually devils. Of course, this unrealistic guess also aroused the contempt of other waiters. Are you kidding, devils?How can the devils be so generous, throwing money at the peace and goodness of the people?

These elders are more than generous, they are as rich as they robbed the treasure caves of several giant dragons. They stretch out their hands for gold and keep their hands for agate crystals.

What they want to eat are the finest delicacies from mountains and seas, and what they drink are the best alcoholic beverages.Occasionally, when they asked the waiter to help them buy some things, they never negotiated the price. They would give as much as the waiter quoted, as long as it was not exaggerated.It's completely like I'm rich, and I'm bargaining for my status.

Because of this, both the hotel owner and the waiters love these wealthy and serviceable elders very much. These elders will occasionally go out for a stroll, and they also wear strict clothes without showing any appearance.

There was once a bold waiter who had the courage to sneak into the room while the tall bodyguards were resting and pretended to serve them. In fact, he wanted to see how sacred these elders were.Sure enough, the waiter disappeared all night, and his body was found in the river in Wangcheng the next day.For this reason, the hotel owner never raised any objections, and asked the other waiters to unify that he threw himself into the river.

In the eyes of the boss, what if this kind of unruly thing offends the guests and makes these elders go away?He deserves to die, he deserves to die.

The monthly expenses of these elders accounted for more than one-third of the tavern, and everyone had to be careful to serve them.

The tall man in black robe got off the carriage from outside the hotel and walked straight towards the hotel.The ferocious guard at the entrance of the hotel quickly opened the door, changed from a ferocious wolf to a dog wagging its tail, and bent down to invite this distinguished guest in.The distinguished guests also rewarded them with a small copper as usual, which made the two guards smile and become more respectful.

Entering the hotel is even more attentive service. The waiters rushed up all at once, scrambling to serve, and these had to be sent away as usual. Enter the magic ladder and go straight up.

The two tall guards standing in the corridor immediately bowed to the nobleman when they saw the nobleman, and waved their hands to signal him to enter, and shouted in a low voice, asking the slaves to come out to greet him.

The elf slave who was as beautiful as a flower ran out immediately to take off his robe for the nobleman. The visitor also calmly reached out and cooperated with the elf slave to help him take off his robe. Under the robe was a complete silver armor with complicated patterns, extremely heavy, and it looked It looks very luxurious, and this is obviously not a Yongdalim-style armor.

The visitor took off his helmet again, revealing his flowing black and purple long hair.The elf slave opened the door for him first, and the visitor squeezed the elf's chin with a smile, and strode into the door again.

Looking at the extravagant scene behind the door, he couldn't help frowning, took off his silver gloves and said to the owner of the room.

"Edward King, His Majesty Baojia provides a huge amount of money for our expenses every month, it is not for us to come here for vacation!"

130 Demon Race

"Knight Garcia."

The man curled up in the sofa sat up unhappily.

He is hugging left and right, and on both sides is an elf beauty with big blond hair and pink hair. One has a proud figure and looks at least 1.7 meters tall, while the other looks very small, only about 1.4 meters five Left and right, and a pair of dexterous transparent wings grow on the back.The two elf beauties obediently stood up and bowed, and exited the room to give the two adults enough space.

"Go and call Master Rupert." The person who came, that is, Garcia, said to the elf beauty.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you call Rupert here?" King Edward asked very unhappy.

"Golden elves, flower elves, two of the three high-level elves are embraced by you. King Edward, you are truly blessed." Garcia picked up the wine on the side and poured himself a glass, mocking Edward road.

"Do you want me to drag the people from the headquarters and find a moon elf from China to accompany you, so that I can make it all up for you?" Garcia continued.

"The moon elves ran away cleanly after the last failed rebellion 80 years ago, and hid in the Southern Cross Forest. If you can find it, don't say I'm happy, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to call you back as a pawn." What a shameless face." King Edward said mercilessly.

"What? Losing His Majesty Baojia's favor and being transferred here as a spy by the military department, you are in a bad mood to vent your anger on me?" King Edward continued to ask.

"Let go of your m!" Garcia lost his mind and threw the wine glass at King Edward.Before the wine glass was released, an extra-thick hand grabbed Garcia's arm, making him stop what he was doing.

"You two sirs, why are you making such a big fuss?" The visitor bared his two small fangs and said with a worried face.

"If those stupid humans heard it, they might think we were doing something."

"Oh, Rupert, I'm so glad to see you." King Edward retracted into the sofa and raised his glass.

"Heavenly King, we only had breakfast together this morning." Rupert laughed and comforted Garcia to sit down, and moved a big wooden pier to sit on it. The gargoyle guards outside are almost the same as the top fighters of the fear clan, they are unusually strong and obviously tall.

Of course, apart from being a little bit stronger, the average fear tribe will not be as strong as Viscount Rupert.

"Knight Garcia, why are you so angry?" Rupert touched the pair of horns on his head and asked Garcia who was still angry.

"He insulted me! He insulted His Majesty Baojia!" Garcia stood up angrily again.
