In April 1875, a worldwide war finally came to the fore of all mankind. The previous conflict was little more than an appetizer, with the three most powerful empires in the world testing each other's positions and bottom lines. Just when all sides bargain with each other, or hesitate what position to take in the coming world war. The assassination of Alexander II organized by Nechaev, the leader of the Russian Narodnaya Narodna, finally ignited the fuse of the war. As soon as the frail but impulsive Tsar Nicholas II of Russia came to power, he did not hesitate to abandon his father's neutral wait-and-see position, and immediately announced mobilization after initialling a treaty of alliance with the Chinese ambassador Zeng Jize. At the same time, an ultimatum was issued to the Republic of Poland in extremely harsh terms. Ask him to open the border within 72 hours, allowing the Russian army to enter and arrest the culprit of the Tsar's assassination.

Immediately after receiving the ultimatum, the Government of the Republic of Poland appealed to the States parties of the Western Roman League, demanding that they fulfill their obligations of mutual defence. However, Mathilde I and Empress Eugénie, who were in power in France and the Roman Empire, were disappointed (to the disappointment of some of the belligerent French and Napoleon IV, but with the support of the other French and Italians) in choosing to abandon Poland...... It also meant the complete disintegration of the Western Roman League! However, this does not mean that the French and Roman Empires have lost their status as the three major powers in the world, and the French world empire with the Bonaparte family as the core is still huge.

At the same time that the entire Polish Republic was almost in despair, the German Empire came to Poland's aid. It was decided to fulfill their obligation to defend Poland - of course. Wilhelm I and Bismarck made the decision to fight against Russia only after a series of neutrality and mutual assistance agreements were reached with France. The French, though not ready to fulfill their obligations to defend Poland. But they were still willing to help Poland and Germany as much as possible. At the same time, it is willing to absolutely guarantee the inviolability of Germany's western borders and coastline......

After receiving French assurances, Wilhelm I addressed the Reichstag of Germany, explaining to the parliamentarians why Germany had to defend Poland. And it has the support of the vast majority of parliamentarians...... Both the left and the right believed that Poland could not be handed over to Russia, otherwise Germany would have to be on guard against the Russians coming to Berlin. Subsequently, the government of the German Empire announced a general mobilization and issued an ultimatum to Russia. The latter was asked to withdraw the ultimatum to Poland within 48 hours. After being refused, the German Empire and the Republic of Poland simultaneously declared war on the Eastern Roman-Russian Empire!

At the same time, the Holy Roman Emperor Franz. Joseph was also determined to join the war. Although he has always wanted to take Italy back, after weighing it repeatedly, he still felt that he would definitely not be able to beat France. It would be equally unwise to join forces with Russia to attack Germany, because that would mean war with France. Because France would not have allowed the Holy Roman Empire to annex the German Empire under any circumstances. So, Franz. Joseph had no choice but to go to war with Russia. On April 12, 1875, just two days after Germany and Poland declared war on Russia, the Holy Roman Empire declared war on Russia. On the same day, Franz. Joseph and Wilhelm I, as well as the President of the Republic of Poland, Badelevski, met in Munich. The "HRE-German-Polish Pact" was reached, and it was decided to fight together against Russia.

On April 13, 1875, the Treaty of Alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Eastern Rome and Russia was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of the Ming Empire. And it was approved by Zhu Jishi. According to the treaty, the Ming Dynasty was required to enter the war on the side of Eastern Rome-Russia within 18 months of the war between the Eastern Roman-Russian Empire and any of the four kingdoms of Germany, the HRE, Poland, and the United Kingdom. At the same time, it is also necessary to provide the Russian side with weapons and equipment capable of arming 30 infantry divisions within three months of the outbreak of war, another 30 divisions within six months, and another 40 divisions within 12 months. Moreover, the cost of purchasing weapons and equipment for all 100 divisions will be paid in two parts, 50% in gold and silver when the weapons are received, and the rest will be paid after the battle. In fact, it's half sold and half given...... Because Zhu Jishi didn't believe that Russia could win at all!

And the mobilization and dispatch of Daming's own army is also in full swing. Red conscription notices were sent out like snowflakes from the branches of the Military Service Bureau of the War Department of the Ming Empire. Countless young people who aspire to serve the country lined up in front of the recruitment stations in various places. Countless recruits were ushered in in the camps of one disgruntled "shelf division" after another, while the elite troops of the long-standing prestige had already completed their mobilization and were boarding ships or preparing to board them -- they were not going to the battlefields of Europe, but to Donghua, which was constantly sailing across the ocean.

Just when the peak of the world war was gradually ignited, in the southern part of Nanjing's Jiangnan District, where a group of residential houses were located, rows of three-story and four-story terraced houses stood densely. These are all houses built by Yingtianfu Construction and Housing Bureau 20 years after the liberation, and then sold at a low price to the working class here in Jiangnan District. Although there is also a drainage system invested by Tianfu in this area where workers gather, the smell here is still very bad, and the smoke from the street and horse manure and garbage from factories in Jiangnan District is mixed and floats in the air. This workers' district seems to be the poorest and dirtiest slum in Nanjing, where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather. But for young workers who have just left the countryside, terraced houses are the only cheap accommodation they can find in the big cities – and although the income of the Ming working class has increased a lot compared to 10 years ago, it is still unable to afford the increasingly expensive apartments or single-family houses in the cities.

Therefore, this kind of cheap townhouse that can only be purchased once in a lifetime by only one couple (monogamy) or unmarried people who have reached the age of 35 (after purchase, it will be indicated on the identity certificate and household registration information that they are not allowed to buy again), which is the biggest benefit for ordinary citizens of Daming. Even citizens who don't need a terrace house will buy one for rent or resell it after the holding period expires. Many young people who have just arrived in the city and have not yet started a family often share a terraced house with a few people, and start their dream of a big city from here. Some of them will have their dreams come true and find a chance to get ahead in the hustle and bustle of the city. Most people are just one of the most common working class in the cities.

However, the huge working class is a growing force in the society of the bourgeois dictatorship of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Empire, like all the capitalist countries of this era, wanted to suppress the workers' movement, but it was trapped in the lack of sufficient administrative power and bourgeois legal power -- it is really paradoxical to say that if capitalism wants to flourish in this era, it cannot allow the bourgeoisie to act as a vassal of the feudal bureaucracy, and the brains and ethics of the feudal bureaucrats in this era cannot be compared with those of the Red Party cadres of later generations.

In order to foster the bourgeoisie to become a political force and an important foundation for the reactionary regime, it is necessary to establish a legal system in which "everyone is equal under the emperor". This legal system, while protecting the bourgeoisie and the landlord class, has also become a talisman for the struggle of the working class...... Just like the erroneous perception of Crown Prince Zhu Guoxiong, since businessmen can set up chambers of commerce, politicians can form political parties, Jishi classmates can turn their classmates into a political force, and even the gang forces of "safflower green leaves and white lotus roots" can openly claim to be civil associations. So why can't the working class have its own organisation?

Therefore, the signs of all kinds of trade union organizations are now hanging openly in the communities where these townhouses are gathered. Now, the leaders of these trade unions are gathering at the headquarters of the Chinese Workers' Association on the first floor of a terraced house in Jiangnan District to discuss the establishment of a political party belonging to the Chinese working class, the Chinese Socialist Party!
