Wu Teng Xiong'an died for a month, not only did the Wu Teng family not give an explanation, but even the police remained silent.

This is worth it, and there must be people who don't agree.

Don't forget, he is also the president of the largest and most staffed shipbuilders' association in the world.

Because of the global economic recession, the shipbuilding industry continued to shrink, not only by South Korea, which is catching up, but also by China.

Although it is still the world's third-largest shipbuilder, far more technologically powerful than South Korea and China, and has made huge profits by building high-value-added ships, it has benefited only shipbuilders, not low-level shipbuilders. The continuous decline in orders has not only led to the loss of a large number of shipwrights, but also the interests of working shipwrights.

In recent years, the average annual salary of shipwrights has not only not increased, but has also decreased by nearly 20%.

In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the shipbuilders, at the beginning of the year, Wu Tengxiongan made a guarantee at the shipbuilders' meeting that he would come forward to negotiate with the shipbuilders to protect the interests of the shipbuilders.

There is no doubt that this is just an empty phrase.

The largest shipbuilding companies in Ben belong to either the Mitsubishi Consortium or the Kawasaki Consortium, and the Wuteng family has close ties with both consortia.

Wu Tengxiong'an is doing this, but he is serving the two major consortia.

No matter how angry the boatman is, he has to feed his family. Without the support of the shipwrights association, even if a few shipwrights took the lead in making trouble, they would not be able to set off a strong storm.

As long as the global economy improves, ship orders increase, and shipyards recruit more workers, shipwright's dissatisfaction will naturally be eliminated.

The boatman is not stupid, and he knows what kind of goods Wu Tengxiong is on, and he definitely won't have much hope for him.

The problem is that Wu Tengxiong did make a guarantee in front of tens of thousands of boatmen.

It didn't matter if he died, but his promise was in vain. It must have been a heavy blow to the shipwrights who lived in hope, even in the midst of hope, even if it was woven with lies.

If the next president of the shipworkers' association did not recognize Wu Tengxiong's assurance, the shipwrights would not see the slightest hope.

To do this, the boatmen had to fight for their own interests.

At this time, as long as someone comes forward and properly directs the anger of the boatmen, it will cause chaos.

Playing this role is none other than Kazuo Taketo, or the Kondo family who secretly supports him.

The Kondo family instigated a shipwrights' strike for the simple purpose of weakening the position of the Wuteng family in the minds of the two major consortia, so as to replace them.

From a personal point of view, Wu Teng didn't want to do this, but he had no other choice.

Wu Tenglan took charge of the shipwrights association before he returned to the book and became the acting president of the association. If Wu Tenglan's relationship with the two major consortia could not be weakened, even if she was driven out of the Wu Teng family, she would be able to continue to be in charge of the shipbuilders' association through the Ogata family and gain the support of the consortium.

Without the support of the consortium, even if Wu Teng and a man recapture the Wu Teng family, they will not be able to become the fourth generation of the ship club.

When Wu Tenglan stabilizes the overall situation, there will be time to deal with him, and even the Wu Teng family will be uprooted.

For this reason, Wu Teng Kazuo must let the two major consortia know that even if they support Wu Tenglan, they will not be able to control the hundreds of thousands of boatmen in the Hanshin region through Wu Tenglan.

The best way is to let the shipwrights strike and make trouble, so that the prestige of the shipwrights association under the leadership of Wu Tenglan will be discredited.

In the morning, thousands of boatmen took to the streets to demonstrate in Osaka and Kobe. According to Liu Wei's instructions, Wu Teng asked his subordinates who were installed in the shipwrights to put up a slogan to seek justice for Wu Tengxiong, and put pressure on the Wu Teng family, demanding that the Wu Teng family give a reasonable explanation for the death of the chairman of the shipwrights association.

By noon that day, the number of boatmen marching through the streets had increased to tens of thousands.

Although the Osaka and Kobe police were all dispatched and hundreds of riot police were mobilized to maintain order, the momentum of the demonstrations was not controlled, but the boatmen believed that the administration was secretly assisting the Wu Teng family in brutally suppressing the boatmen's legitimate demands.

In the afternoon, the strike spread to shipyards in Osaka and Kobe, and even the workers who were working were involved.

In the evening, when Wu Tengxiong was buried, more than 200,000 boatmen had participated in the strike and demonstration. The number of boatmen is increasing dramatically as a large number of shipwrights leave work.

Because the Hanshin area is dominated by shipbuilding, and other industries are developing around the shipbuilding industry, the shipbuilding industry is sluggish, and the other industries are not having a good time, and millions of low-level workers do not want to live a good life, so the shipbuilding strike also involves workers in other industries.

In just one day, the Hanshin area is in chaos.

What is even worse is that the preparations of this authority are seriously insufficient.

Since this was not a strike organized by the shipworkers' association, but a spontaneous organization of workers, the authorities did not receive any information in advance, let alone hundreds of thousands of other industrial workers joining the strike, so they did not send additional police to the Hanshin area in advance.

Although the striking workers were very sensible and there were no incidents of smashing, looting, and burning, as more and more workers took to the streets, thousands of police officers in the Hanshin area soon became scrambling. In addition to ensuring the safety of major public infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, power plants, and water plants, it is necessary to defend public facilities that are related to social stability, such as government agencies, police stations, tax offices, and banks.

At this point, it is no longer a simple strike, but a labor uprising.

The Hanshin area made such a fuss that even Prime Minister Naoto Kanno, who was far away in Tokyo, was taken aback.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of workers don't go home after work and wander the streets, so what's the point?

In the evening, Naoto Kanno canceled a dinner for the visiting U.S. Secretary of State and convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss countermeasures to the labor uprising.

Discussion came and went, and a group of cabinet ministers did not name a name.

It's no wonder that they didn't expect such a thing to happen at all.

At the end of the discussion, Kanno came to the conclusion that hundreds of thousands of workers took to the streets in a single day without any union organization, and someone must have secretly planned and instructed them.

After making the decision to send more police to the Hanshin area and the Self-Defense Forces to protect major public facilities, Naoto Kanno gave a death order to the heads of all intelligence agencies: to find out the culprits behind the strike in the shortest possible time and bring them to justice, no matter what means are used.

The most pressure is certainly on the intelligence services that specialize in internal security.

Among them is the Intelligence Headquarters under the Ministry of Defense.

Although the main responsibility of the Intelligence Headquarters is in the military field, as a comprehensive intelligence agency, it also has to coordinate with other intelligence units and be responsible for the security of major projects. The shipwrights' strike has already had an impact on the new warships under construction by the Maritime Self-Defense Force, as well as those undergoing normal maintenance.

Because it is a domestic security affair, all the pressure on the Intelligence Headquarters is on Oki Ronggu.

The first thing he thought of was not Rina Tanaka, who was undercover in the Brotherhood, but he soon realized that if, as the Prime Minister judged, this was a premeditated strike action, the planners would definitely not seek justice for Taketo Yugishi, but to use it to achieve ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, Oki Ronggu does not think that this has anything to do with the intelligence agencies of other countries.

Although among the hundreds of thousands of striking workers, there must have been some spies from the intelligence agencies of other countries, but Oki Ronggu did not believe that any intelligence agency could plan a strike of such a large scale in this country, and from an intelligence point of view, no intelligence agency had such a motive.

If the best way to steal military technology, such as the top-secret technology on the submarine being built, is to send spies to infiltrate the shipwrights, rather than instigating hundreds of thousands of workers to demonstrate. No intelligence agency is stupid enough to get things out of hand.

Strictly speaking, Da Mu Ronggu's judgment was not wrong, at least not completely wrong.

It's true that this was not orchestrated by the intelligence agencies, but only related to the intelligence agencies.

Liu Wei also did not expect that the scale of the strike would be so large.

He just wants to use the strike to distract the attention of the police and intelligence agencies and create conditions for stealing military technology, and he does not want hundreds of thousands of people to take to the streets with unpredictable results.

In the evening of the same day, after Dian Bin got the information, Liu Wei asked him to assist Zhu Shou and deploy personnel in advance.

After dark, Liu Wei, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong took the special equipment prepared for them by Dian Bin, left Osaka in a "borrowed" off-road vehicle and rushed straight to Kobe.

It's one thing to help the Brotherhood fight the world, it's another thing to help the three departments steal military technology.

The two things must not be confused, otherwise you will not be able to eat and walk around.

No matter how much Liu Wei trusts Kotaro Hashimoto, he will not believe that he will do something to betray the country.

Because the police were all in the urban area to maintain order, so on the highway, Mobei Wolf soared to more than 200 speeds, and arrived in Kobe half an hour later.

After coming to explore the wind before, and with the driving directions provided by Dian Bin, the three of them quickly arrived at the port area and found the motorboat that Dian Bin had prepared for them.

The shipwrights went on strike, and there were few people in the port.

The trio boarded the motorboat and soon disappeared into the night-shrouded harbor.

At this time, Wu Tengxiong'an's funeral was not over.

Although there were still many ceremonies to be completed, the intensifying strike action made the big people of the ship company restless, and the celebrities and dignitaries who came to attend the funeral also took their leave in advance.

For the sake of the overall situation, after Kondo Takayo proposed to complete the funeral as soon as possible, the Wu Teng family had to go to the complicated and simplified.

Wu Tenglan had already said that after the funeral, conclusive evidence was produced to prove the cause of Wu Tengxiong'an's death. The cause of the shipwrights' strike was Wu Tengxiong'an's death, so only by clarifying the facts, electing the next president of the shipwrights' association, and making assurances to the shipwrights could the labor tide be quelled.

This is not child's play, it is related to the vital interests of the Wuteng family, the shipyard, and even hundreds of thousands of shipwrights.

Of course, it cannot be done in a cemetery.

After the funeral was hastily over, Wu Tenglan announced in public that a community meeting would be held at ten o'clock in the evening to clarify the cause of Wu Tengxiong'an's death.

The three major families immediately said that as long as they explained this matter, they would elect the four generations of the society that night.

The time was set, and the members of the ship club left one after another.

In any case, there must be people who are unlucky before dawn, and there must be people who step up to the sky.
