With the direct support of the French, the strikes of the textile workers were naturally becoming more and more difficult to control. Of course, the British, especially the capitalists of the British textile industry, are not going to sit idly by. They had actually established a lot of contacts with the French before, and even many of them were so-called "pro-French". At this time, they naturally have to use the connections they have gained in previous years with France to work hard for themselves.

The representative of the Textile Workers' Association, after some contact with the French, brought back the following news:

"Textile workers in the Netherlands have spent a lot of money in France in recent years. Of course, this is not the main thing, because they are no more than us than we do. The point is that they spend money on newspapers, which makes them louder than we do. Add to that the 'political correctness' of France, and it's hard for the French not to act.

In addition to this, the French are also very unhappy with some of our practices. The representative conveyed.

"What practice? Thomas, what did they say? Wren asked quickly.

"They are very unhappy with the large number of imitations of high-end French clothing that have appeared on the European market in the last year or so. According to their investigation, the vast majority of the high-quality fakes of the 'Chris' series of men's clothing come from the United Kingdom, which makes the top level of the city very unhappy......"

"What? Which bastard did this! Before Thomas's words could be finished, someone shouted.

"What the hell is that bastard! This kind of money dares to rob, isn't this a trap for all of us! ”

"We've got a black sheep out of the pack!"

"Really, don't you want to die if you want money? I don't want to think about it, the 'Chris' series of men's clothing, that's ...... That was the property of the holy woman of the House of Bonaparte! I've heard that she is so loved by the First Consul in the family that she dares to rob her of her money...... There are many ways to make money, why make this kind of money? ”

This kind of thing is actually very easy to investigate, after all, everyone is a vampire for thousands of years, and no one wants to pretend to be a werewolf there. So everyone immediately focused their attention on one person.

"What are you staring at me for? I own a garment factory, but I haven't made any counterfeit 'Chris' clothing......" The man quickly defended himself when he realized that something was wrong.

"That fake 'Chris' series of clothing, strictly speaking, really can't be considered fake." Thomas, who acted as a messenger, said coldly, "The French even showed me a sample, and the 'Chris' on the trademark of the counterfeit product has an extra 's' at the end, although it is deliberately made with a black line, it is very inconspicuous, and you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention." But it's not 'Chris' after all. Right, Mr. Robson? ”

Robson was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "It's not me, I don't, don't talk nonsense......"

"If you really haven't done anything that is sorry for all of us and caused us all such a big problem, then let's all go to your garment factory, go to your warehouse. How's that, Robson? ”

"I, I'm okay here, but I'm not the only one who has a garment factory, Mr. Egger, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Berkeley all have garment factories, and we should all go and see them together." Robson hurried.

As a result, the faces of several people named by Robson also turned white at once.

"We'll go now!" Someone shouted.

"Yes, yes, go now!"

"I'm going to see who it's that hurts us all......"

"Don't be busy yet, let Thomas go on, what else the French have to say. That's the most important thing! Wren said loudly.

So everyone fell silent, and all eyes were on Thomas.

The French, for their part, said that this kind of thing would not be tolerated. And they also say......"

"What did they say?"

"They say they've made us a lot of money, and there's already a lot of complaints about the French textile industry. In the garment industry, French products were originally dominant, which was also a reassurance to French textile workers. So, they want us Brits not to join the competition in the garment industry. Thomas said.

"They want to monopolize the garment industry." One whispered.

"If they want it, this market can really only give it to them." Wren nodded and said, "Although the profit margin of this industry is high, the market is actually not large, let them, as long as they can keep the European cloth market, it will be a good result." ”

Except for the few people who opened the garment factory in front of them, everyone agreed.

"Yes, this market is not big, and it would be too unwise to turn against the French for this money......"

"So, those workers, and the matter of sanctions?" Someone asked again.

Thomas sighed and said, "The French say that since the knife has been pulled out, even if it is for the sake of face, there is no reason to insert it back without doing it." Not to mention...... If they don't really cut a knife or two, they suspect that we will underestimate their resolve, leading to more miscalculations. Therefore, in order to avoid more incidents that damage the mutual trust between the two sides due to miscalculations, these measures will continue for some time......"

"Huh? How much longer will it last? ”

"Next week, the White Paper on the Human Rights Situation in the UK will be published. Everyone knows what will be said above. For the sake of face, during this time, there will definitely be no relaxation. However, they argue that if the Textile Manufacturers Association is able to issue a statement that it will self-examine and correct the contents of the White Paper after the publication of the White Paper, and invite members of the Human Rights Review Committee to visit it, then perhaps after two months, these measures will be lifted. Thomas said.

"Two months, this ...... It's still too slow. ”

"That's it, can you ......?"

"The French meant to give us a hard time, to prove that they had knives in their hands and that they dared to cut people. They won't back down. "We've lost a lot of money in two months, but it's not really unsustainable. Now that people are knives and we are meat, what else can we do? ”

"It's all because you're too greedy and don't let go of any money!" So everyone's anger returned to those who had garment factories.

Immediately after that, the "Textile Workers Association" conducted raids on the warehouses of several enterprises, and it seems that Mr. Robson did not lie, and that there were indeed no counterfeit "Chris" clothing in his factories and warehouses, and it seems that he really did not do this. But there was something else that everyone saw that made everyone even angrier.

"Hehe, 'Veteran Hunting Suit', 'Veteran Backpack', 'Veteran Rain Cloak'...... Damn it! Robson, how dare you even fake this? Do you know what the 'Old Warriors' series is set into! ”

Robson, who was caught, was silent.

"Damn it! Why don't you die! Everyone knows that the 'Old Soldiers' series belongs to the French Veterans Association, and this organization has a status in French politics that is not ordinarily high. This kind of behavior of yours is even more serious than copying the 'Chris' series! You're such a goddamn guy! ”

"Those French veterans are the hardest to mess with, they are people who dare to rebel with guns if they don't agree with each other. You actually hacked their money, no wonder the French reacted so violently. No, because your misdeeds have caused us great losses - Robson, you must make reparations! ”

"I'm not an 'old soldier', I'm really not an 'old soldier', my logo on this is different from the 'old soldier'!" Robson pleaded with a pale face.

"Robson, you're taking us for fools? You've made money, but you've hurt us! ”

"I suggest that a meeting be convened immediately after this inspection to discuss how to deal with it. Now, let's move on to our checks. ”

The results of the inspection at several guys with garment factories were not very good. Almost every garment factory is doing something like this. At Egger, they found counterfeit "Chris" menswear; At Davis, they found the "Chrissy" collection of women's clothing; With Berkeley, they once again found something from the "Old Warrior" series...... In short, the accusations made against them by the French are very justified.

At the following meeting, the indignant bosses expressed their condolences to the female relatives of the "black sheep", and then quickly passed a resolution to impose heavy fines on these "black sheep". to compensate other textile merchants who have suffered damage as a result.

At the same time, the "Textile Workers Association" also made a decision to prohibit its members from opening garment factories.

As for the proposal of the French, calling for a positive response to the "white paper", as well as a certain degree of rectification, and welcoming the French to check it, it was also adopted by a clear margin.

Of course, the less messy things are going on in the UK textile industry during this time, the better. For example, the massacre of the working masses must not happen again, or else something similar would have happened, and given the face of the French, those sanctions would not have been abandoned halfway.

"Now that the police department is still arresting the people of the 'United Union', I think we can let them stop first and not make any trouble. This was especially true when Miss Bonaparte was still in the ghetto. We must get the guys in the police department to stop the hunt for those workers' representatives, and also to maintain the current contract, not to increase the intensity of work, not to cut wages, and not to give our enemies the opportunity to plot against us. Wren said.
