Chapter 111: To Build a Utopia? Threat from New York Harbor!
New York City Hall, October 1861.
"Shit! You're talking about shit! β
"That kind of system can't be effective!"
"Nope! We can't do that! It's a new era! β
"Gentlemen! Know that we have now completed the Revolution! The ugly, evil, and intolerable creatures of the capitalists should not exist! Therefore, we must make our system the most advanced, the most average, and the same for all, to serve this, so that our perfect world can survive! β
"I very much agree with Mr. Thoreau, it is undoubtedly noble!"
"Gentlemen! Dear gentlemen! Everyone, please be quiet, I think we should listen to Clint. Mr. Lee's JianyΓ¬! β
In the entire conference room of the municipal government, all eyes were looking at Li Mengyang.
"This ......" Li Mengyang looked at the thing in his hand.
It's just such a thing that makes these individuals present, these former American government officials, well-known figures, such as the former New York division commander, Fernando. Wood, Senator Sumner of Massachusetts, Frederick. Douglas, Henry. Thoreau, Ralph. Emerson, Pβ. J. Morgan, Victoria Sisters...... The other is the workers' representatives, who come up with it.
Anyway, now the most famous and powerful people in the entire revolutionary region, as well as the proletariat, the main force of the Great Revolution, are all here.
A lot of people must understand that people like Thoreau are okay, and JP. Morgan, Victoria, or something can do it. But why did a puppet official like the former mayor get into the power again?
I can't help it. This New York is too big. If you don't use these puppet officials, then the city will not be able to function at all, unless everyone returns to the state of primitive society, but New York is a big industrialized city, and you can't go back if you want to, and besides, people have also said that they fully support the Great Proletarian Revolution. So what do you say?
In short, this is the best way at present, the key problem is that Li Mengyang has not established a strong organization, this reason is many, there are objective reality, there are also subjective, but anyway, there is no organization, so the current situation is the official master. Celebrities, financial capitalists. The strange spectacle of the proletariat coming together has been born!
So what exactly is this?
The Socialist Democratic Federal Constitution of the United States of America!
Yes, this thing is a law, a law to build a socialist democracy, and the general content of this law is.
All people are equal......
All the rights of the state belong to the people......
All property belongs to the state, which distributes it according to need......
All factories, shops, banks...... All belong to the state, to all the people......
The proletariat is the master of the country......
That's pretty much it, and in short, this bill is to turn the current revolutionary region, that is, such a small part of the northeastern United States, into a perfect idealistic society!
To put it simply, it is the set of utopian society, which was developed by Owen and Fourier, and now the most embraced is Henry. People like Thoreau.
Yes, this utopian socialism, let's call it utopia, but the reason why it is called utopia is also because such a society is too good!
And now, the shape of the revolution is so good, and it is because of the standard-bearer type of the American ** theory, Clint . Li He made it, so how can we not try the whole utopia?
What is that?
This is the saying of the later generations, 'Ask the body in a fixed way'!
Li Mengyang knows very well that this bill is actually this group of people, who have figured out their own ingenuity and a perfect system design to solve all things in the real society, so as to achieve the goal of social harmony and a perfect world.
Then this matter is obvious, Li Mengyang knows very well that this cannot be successful!
Really, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, just like those so-called gzjy who attribute everything to the 'system', they are actually, and if they really want to do this thing, the final result will be a failure, and if they really design it, then I am afraid it will be a greater tragedy!
For example, the French Revolution......
"Mr. Li! What about your opinion? β
Okay, Li Mengyang's thoughts are a little far away, but the aftermath of the French Revolution is still there, and now is not officially the reign of Napoleon III, and Paris, France, which had a rolling head, has just recovered some vitality.
"My opinion is simple." Li Mengyang put the text in his hand on the table, and then said with a smile: "I fully support this bill!" I fully support all of you in your efforts for our great proletarian revolution! On behalf of the broad proletariat, I thank you! β
In the tank? Didn't he know that this thing couldn't be successful? Why do you still support it?
"Oooo
"Great! Worthy of Clint. Plum! β
"Clint. Plum! Clint. Plum! β
Bang Bang Bang ......
The large conference room of the New York City Hall, which was still full of quarrels just now, became a sea of joy in an instant, and everyone stood up and applauded, and shouted Li Mengyang's name!
Does he, Li Mengyang, really think that utopia is feasible?
No, absolutely not!
But in the current situation, as long as you are not an idiot, as long as you don't have a brain that lacks strings, then you must support it, and it will be interesting if you don't support it.
Now, in the entire conference room, there is only such a yellow face as Li Mengyang, can he not support it? Does he dare not support it?
Li Mengyang knows very well that he has control over the future of this revolution, if he can control it, then he will definitely not operate according to such a program, but if he does what Li Mengyang thinks.
For example, it should be distributed according to work, and it should be collectively owned rather than shared by all the people. Should...... Anyway, it's not as extreme as this program.
So. What is the consequence of this?
You Clint. Plum. The revolutionary position is not firm!
Yes, that's just such a consequence, your program is not as good as what people's programs say, then you are not as firm as other people's revolutions, proper!
So what happens after that?
Li Mengyang completely understands that the result will probably be ......
"Mr. Li! What we need to do now is to get down with the capitalists who are all in power! Let them taste the iron fist of the proletariat! β
"That's right! I couldn't agree more! β
"Mr. Li, yes to this matter. What about your attitude? β
The workers' representatives in New York are also there, and there are also Li Mengyang's developments, McIlroy, O'Casey, and the like, who are now about to get angry, and they are going to take other people's lives.
"Good!" Li Mengyang still supports it, for the same reason as before, he must support it, "Those guys are liberals who follow capitalism......"
"That's great!"
"Mr. Li deserves to be the guiding light of our revolution!"
Needless to say. Li Mengyang used this word, what will happen later. Do you still need to think about it?
Could it be that Li Mengyang can't stop it?
This matter, hehe, don't say that he can't stop it, in fact, when it comes to the root, even if he stops it......
That's when someone suddenly barged in!
"Oh no! We were shelled! A man in uniform rushed in and shouted directly.
"What's wrong? So flustered? "Actually, this is the revolutionary army at this time, and Li Mengyang is the commander of this revolutionary army, so he naturally has to ask.
"Mr. Li! Manhattan was shelled, and it came from the sea! β
"So a warship is coming? From Washington? β
"I don't know, but it should be about the same!"
"Okay, gentlemen, the military situation is urgent at this time, and I have to go and see it."
After talking to his subordinates, Li Mengyang made a very polite move.
"Okay! God bless you! Fight off the enemy army! β
"Mr. Li! May God be with you! β
These guys who are in the meeting still have some conscience, at least they have made blessings, haven't they?
To be honest, Li Mengyang's biggest reliance now is that he still has the army in his hands, otherwise......
Forget it, let's go and see what the situation is like at sea!
β¦β¦
The sky is high and the clouds are light, but there are several black smoke rising from Manhattan Island!
Samuel. Dupont was looking at his masterpiece with his binoculars, and just now he ordered his battleship Minnesota to burst out, and it seemed that the bastards in New York had tasted the bitterness.
"Hey! Let the gunners be idle! β
βyes-sirοΌβ
Samuel. DuPont is very imposing, he has just been promoted to brigadier general before, and he is already a high-ranking official of the Admiralty in Washington, and this time, he has been entrusted with the important task of teaching these rebels a lesson, this is simply a meritorious achievement, don't do it in vain!
Navy, although New York is a big port and is well-known in the world, but because of the war against the south, the navy was needed to blockade the southern seas, so there were no warships here, that is to say, those poor ghosts who engaged in revolution, they could not have any ability to go to sea to fight.
Samuel. DuPont even felt that he was a little invincible, but he would never be relentless in teaching these rebels a lesson.
From his name, you can see which family he belongs to, yes, he is a member of the Dupont family, it can be seen that the old men in Washington are not idiots, he really found the right person.
Because from a topographical point of view, along the eastern coastline of the United States, New York is New Jersey to the south, and Delaware to the south, where is the home of the DuPont family, and their factory is in Delaware, that is, even this Samuel. No matter how bad Dupont's ability is, then at least he will not be short of ammunition.
So, what should Li Mengyang do?
In fact, at the Manhattan dock at this time, Li Mengyang was also watching with a telescope, and he naturally saw the Minnesota showing off its might, but after taking the telescope, Li Mengyang's face was full of smiles......
It seems that there is a big iron fish that can make an appearance...... (To be continued......)
