"What did you say?" Karl Mackas excitedly grabbed Zeng Jize's arm and shook it vigorously: "Does the Prussian government really allow me to go back?" The Koren police department won't send me to Pandaux Prison in west Berlin, will they? ”

"Of course not! Rest assured, Mr. Maccas, the current chief of the Coron Police Department will apologize to you for the undue persecution of you ten years ago. You will become a legal citizen of the Kingdom of Prussia, and at the same time an honorary citizen of the Chinese Empire, and the special envoy Guo Songtao Guo is ready to recommend you to become the special commissioner of the Chinese Empire in Prussia, of course, provided that you first become the deputy head of the current secret service department in London. Zeng Jize was full of smiles, and a hint of sophistication flashed on his young face.

"This!? Sir, what exactly does this secret service department do in London? Carl McChas is not calm, Rao is that he has not much social experience and scheming, and he also knows that this errand is not so easy to do, helpless, now he has fallen into the other party's carefully planned layout, Carl McChas feels that he is powerless to resist, and he does not want to object. After all, although the other party treats himself with a bit of ulterior motives, in general, it is not bad. Besides, I like this kind of life myself, rather than indulging in the utopian co-shovelism of the British Museum in London.

Yes, Carl McCasch actually knows his own thoughts very well in his heart, he is not as self-conscious as he seems, thinking purely as a researcher about those illusory theories, but preferring to be an explorer, exploring his own ideas, even if they are a little different from the theories he is studying.

"The so-called spy is to complete the special task assigned by His Majesty. You can understand it as a sub-work or a spy. Zeng explained: "The two of us are responsible for all the spy work in London, specifically, to liaise with trade unions all over Great Britain, to organize those workers, to fight for high wages and benefits for them, and to contribute to their interests." Of course, if necessary, put some pressure on the government of the Kingdom of Great Britain so that they have no time to worry about the competition and expansion of overseas colonies. That is our mission and purpose. ”

"I see! Are you trying to use my familiar relationship with the union leaders to control the trade unions and make the workers riot? To achieve the goal of disrupting the British government? Carl McCas suddenly realized: "However, you may overestimate my face and ability. Although I know many leaders of trade unions, they will not listen to me on such a big matter. Moreover, I don't want those workers to be arrested and punished by the military and police for indifferent opposition to the British government. It's not fair to them! ”

"No, no, no! Mr. McCas, you are wrong! Zeng Jize said solemnly: "We didn't use those trade unions and those workers, but we helped them while disrupting the British government." You see, there are hundreds of thousands of workers in London, but there are dozens or hundreds of trade unions, even the largest trade unions, only a few tens of thousands, so many trade unions, all scattered and scattered, and never united and mutually helpful. If they could be united to form a unified workers' organization, it would be completely different, and they would have the strength to negotiate and even confront the British government, whether it is to resist the exploitation of the capitalists and demand wage increases, or to reduce working hours, increase welfare benefits, or to boycott the government's tax policies for the benefit of the poor and unemployed workers. This is bound to be a great historical process, and if Mr. McCas and I can contribute our strength and leave a wonderful mark in this process, we will surely become great men in history and go down in history. And those workers who work hard will also feel like you and me because of this! ”

Carl McCass hesitated, unconfidently said: "Can it really be? Can I also lead the workers to force the government to make concessions for their benefit? ”

"Absolutely!"

"That's good! I am not trying to make a name for myself or gain myself, but I am really trying to help the toiling masses. I would like to join you as deputy stationmaster of London, to liaise with the familiar leaders of the workers, and to form a trade union that spans the whole of England, nay, all of Europe, the Americas, and even the whole world. Carl McCasz was thoroughly persuaded and decided straight down.

"Great! Allow me, Mr. McCas, to salute you on behalf of the poor and unemployed workers of the world! If you need anything, please feel free to tell me that the Secret Service has given us £500,000 a year for the London station, and I believe that we will soon be able to achieve great results. Zeng Jize grabbed Carl McCast's palm and shook his hands excitedly.

"Mr. Zeng, I'm going to contact some of my friends in London. One was my Prussian countryman, Aekarius, a member of the Executive Committee of the Communist Shovelist League, who had been helping me to preach the theory of struggle of the workers' movement in the Chartist newspapers a few years earlier, and was a doer. the other, a shoemaker-turned-Auzer, who was in charge of the Shoe Workers' Association and the head of most of London's unemployed workers; And then there's Crimmer, who I know is now going to create a carpentry and joinery federation, and what kind of London council of the federation of trade unions or something, and he's also a big man. There were also several workers' leaders, each with their own opinions, but it was believed that with the power of the Chinese Empire and the financial resources of the London Station of the Secret Service, they would soon be able to gather together. ”

"Very good! Mr. McCas, your responsibility has given hope to the workers who are living in dire straits. Gone are the days when rulers were poor and luxurious, and the ruled suffered and starved! Zeng Jize first praised a sentence, and then directly stated his purpose: "Your Majesty's personal decree is to make you, Mr. Maccas, the general leader of the British labor movement, and in the future, you will lead the industrial workers of LinkedIn and even Europe to struggle, and make the greatest efforts for their interests and goals!" Please don't shirk! ”

After speaking, Zeng Jize left a badge and left in a hurry.

Carl McCass looked at the small badge in his hand, which was inscribed: "Deputy Station Master of the London Station." I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I was still unwilling to be lonely. But there is no way, whoever allows himself to have received the other party's remuneration for two or three years, not to mention that the other party can send his wife and children from London to Prussia, and he can take them from Prussia to the Chinese Empire and beyond, not to mention that they treat themselves well, and at the same time for the good of those workers, therefore, no matter what, he can not refuse.

More than 10 days later, the leaders of a dozen workers' groups and trade union organizations in London, first of all, quietly gathered together to discuss in secret. It wasn't long before dozens or hundreds of trade union leaders from all over London gathered in Westminster Abbey to quietly discuss something, and many of the Chartist figures reappeared.

A few days later, not only trade unions all over London, but also some of the leaders of industries that they had never heard of, came to London to meet with Mr. Carl Maccas, the editor-in-chief of the Workers' Times. Even the workers' leaders of Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and other cities came to London.

On this day, in a remote farmstead, in a lively and jubilant atmosphere, the "International Workingmen's Association" was proclaimed, and the local trade union leaders present at the meeting elected Carl Maccas, the editor-in-chief of the "Workers' Times", as the president of the "International Workingmen's Association", and the British workers' movement began a new chapter.
