Added yesterday's third update

"It turns out that the author of the Internationale is really you!"

Marx's face showed shock, the author of the song, which had long been passed down by word of mouth among the communists in London, was the writer sitting in front of him.

God, what the hell would this man not do, besides being a writer, poet and arranger?

Even Engels, who was omnipotent, was a little jealous of the man in front of him.

Marx heard no less than five or six versions of the story of "The Internationale", and except for some fabrications, the rest of the versions pointed the finger at Garion himself, if not by himself, but inextricably linked with him, but these are rumors after all, after all, Garion has always responded with silence on this question, and is not willing to answer more.

And now, when he finally told the secret of four years ago - the tragic execution, especially when all the revolutionaries in the prison sang the Internationale to bid farewell to the revolutionaries who were about to go to the execution ground, Marx and Engels only felt something in the depths of their souls.

A sensation that shakes the heart and has never been seen before, pervades the whole body.

This is not an ordinary song, but the cry of millions of oppressed souls!

"It turns out that "The Internationale" still has such an unknown past, and I finally know why you have never been willing to mention the origin of this song."

Karl Marx sighed, and he saw a faint layer of sadness on his young face, as if revealing an unspeakable bitter past.

After a tragic scene, he chose to become a staunch anti-imperial revolutionary.

Garion witnessed the hangings of sixteen revolutionaries on the gallows, and remembered the last supper, when they explained their lofty ideals to Garian, and the helplessness of not being able to see their families for the last time, finally turned around and walked towards the gallows with a determined expression, without the slightest hesitation.

They died for their faith without complaint or remorse.

Then Garion taught the revolutionaries in the prison to sing this song, and continued to sing the "Internationale", to spread the unyielding revolutionary will to more revolutionaries, so that the whole world could hear the deep cry of the masses.

They are not slaves to be exploited, they are all flesh and blood souls.

Marx stood up and said to Engels beside him, "I may submit this proposal to the committee tomorrow, and a discussion meeting will be held the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I hope that His Excellency Garion will also be present at that time, after all, it is about your Internationale." I hope that the General Assembly will be adopted quickly so that people can better unite and fight. He is like a shot in the arm, awakening the unyielding spirit of resistance in the depths of the soul. ”

"Carl ......"

Engels did not know why Karl Marx had made this decision suddenly, but to define The Internationale as the song of the International Workers' Congress was tantamount to roasting Garion on a fire. He was a minister of Napoleon III, which makes one think.

Fortunately, Garion had already considered a way out, he explained, "The author of this Internationale is an unknown revolutionary who died in prison, so if you explain it to the authorities, you will not suspect that it is me." ”

"Good idea."

Marx put down the fork and said excitedly, "I'll go back to the office and submit this proposal later." ”

After the banquet, Marx returned to his office and asked his aides to draft a proposal for the official song of the communists, which was then to be voted on or supported by the standing committee at the meeting.

The Standing Committee is the supreme body of the International Workers' Congress and is composed of the President, the General Secretary and the Corresponding Secretaries of the States.

At first they were unimpressed by Marx's proposal, because there seemed to be little connection between a revolutionary song and the working-class movement. At the top of the list today should be the establishment of a wide range of cooperation organizations among countries.

Marx, on the other hand, stressed at the conference that there should be a spiritual force that unites the proletarians of the whole world, that they are an international organization of workers' cooperation, like a national framework, with cooperative institutions, national anthems, armed forces, and their extensive branches in the countries of Europe, like the red ghosts that roam the continent.

Gallian stood in front of them, watching the correspondence secretaries of the countries and Marx arguing with each other. He suddenly said, "Everyone here has more or less known about La Marseillaise, right? ”

"This, of course, was the prelude to the French Revolution."

Several people present looked at each other, not knowing what Garian was trying to express.

"At that time, under the influence of the Jacobins in Paris, Arno led the citizens of the port of Marseille to design and seize the fortress, obtain weapons, and expel the duke, and they held a rally to pass a resolution to organize the volunteers to march to Paris to rescue the parliamentarians sympathetic to the reform.

Later, after Napoleon became emperor, he ordered the removal of the status of the national anthem of the "La Marseillaise"; In 1815, Louis XVIII was restored, and the national anthem was changed to "The Prince of France Returns to Paris"; The July Revolution broke out in 1830. On the barricades of the battle in Paris, the "La Marseillaise" sounded again;

Today, the "La Marseillaise" has become a sacred symbol in the hearts of every Frenchman, and the trumpets of revolution are resounding everywhere in the land of opposition to the Empire.

"What are you trying to express?"

The German correspondents asked, somewhat uncertainly, "Please tell me intuitively, what do you want to express?" ”

"I want to express that the Internationale is as important as the Marseillaise is to the French people. Please put away the arrogance and disdain in your hearts and listen to this international anthem for a while. ”

With that, he began to hum.

Impassioned singing echoed in the quiet conference room.

"Arise, hungry slaves! Arise, all the suffering people of the world! ”

"The blood is boiling, and we must fight for the truth!"

The secretary, who originally thought it was dispensable, gradually looked solemn when he heard Garian sing the English version of "The Internationale".

They heard the generosity of the revolution inside, the oppression of the old times, and the awakening of the working class!

"The old world is a falling flower,"

"Slaves get up, get up!"

"Don't say we have nothing,"

"We want to be the masters of the world!"

………

As the last sentence fell, applause erupted in the quiet conference room, surging like a tide.

Garion knew that the song had conquered everyone, and there was no suspense about the next big meeting.

"The Internationale" was unanimously adopted by hundreds of workers' international representatives!
