Volume IV Boom 70 Mobilization

For farm workers, the green skin on the security guard not only means higher income, but also status and honor.

In addition to the thousands of workers on the farm, there are large fields, and there is a barracks of several thousand people. It was the training ground of the security company, which was usually closed and no one was allowed to enter, and the workers were told not to go to the barracks over there.

In order to ensure the safety of the farm and prevent the workers here from making trouble (which has never happened), there is a security team of about 100 people stationed on the farm on weekdays.

Many of the security guards were selected from the farms, so although they could not be near the barracks, the workers knew that the greenskins were conducting military training, supposedly to protect company property and workers from native attacks.

There is a hundred miles of farm land, and the devil knows what is unsafe about the farm, and those legendary and terrifying native workers are rarely seen.

However, according to some workers who came relatively early, when the land was first cultivated, there were indeed some natives around, but they didn't know where to go in the past two years, as if they had disappeared all of a sudden.

Day by day, the farm slowly grew, and the former forest became almost a small town, and the farm was far larger than the land where it was originally purchased, and it expanded again and again, and no native protests were seen.

It's just that magical. Although the first workers became foremen and were silent or transferred elsewhere, the latecomers hardly knew that the farm under their feet had been a forest of some natives, and they only felt at home, because it was almost the same as Tangshan in China.

Everyone is curious, and the less they let the farm workers know about the barracks in the forest, the more interested the farm workers become.

The security team's green skin, they have a special emotion in their hearts, familiar and unfamiliar, and a little curious.

Although they never dared to enter the area casually, the sound of gunfire from time to time in the forest made them realize something.

Sometimes, when the workers passed by the barracks gate, they would see the green skins crawling in the fields, covered in mud and sweat, and the stern officers shouting loudly to the soldiers in the mud.

The accents of those instructors were a little strange, as if they were still foreigners.

In the middle of the night, an urgent whistle was heard not far away, and the greenskins were driven out of bed by the chief, and then after a tense and dense footsteps, the noise of the security camp died down, until the next day when the workers were on their way to work, the greenskins had just finished their night training and returned to the farm dewed.

Their faces were tired, but their eyes were sharp, and there was a faint evil aura, so that the farm workers who passed by did not dare to look more, and they were urged to work by the foreman.

The atmosphere on the farm has been tense lately, with the greenskins sometimes disappearing for days, while the nearby barracks are crowded with truckloads of stuff coming in and out. A lot of people came, and a lot of people left.

The farm workers felt that things were getting more and more difficult, and the sensitive workers always felt a murderous aura when they looked at the barracks hidden in a verdant green, and sometimes they did not sleep well at night, for fear that those green skins would suddenly come to them.

In the past few months, there have been frequent sounds of fighting in the woods, gunshots, cannons, and the rumbling of birds.

Yes, those big birds occasionally flapping their wings triumphantly over the farm, as if there were still people sitting on them.

How could a man fly to the sky? Later, the workers learned that the big bird called an airplane, not only could fly, but it would also "rain", and when it flew by, they would spray pesticides on the crops, but more often than not, the birds would drop bombs from the air, and then there would be a strong explosion.

At this moment, in the brightly lit and silent dining hall, the farm manager paced slowly among the workers with a bit of sternness on his face, and his shiny leather shoes clattered on the floor, as if the sound was trampling on the hearts of everyone.

"Everyone may have sensed that the farm has not been very peaceful lately, why?

Because some natives who dare not be greedy want to come and rob our farms, our crops, our houses, and our jobs, we must not let them succeed.

Do you know who you are? You are Tang people, and I am also Tang people, so our hometown is called Tangshan. Who is the black skin on the outside? Who is the red-haired ghost behind the black skin?

None of them are good people, they are not their own people, they are robbers!

Don't think I'm joking, and don't think that robbing the farm is none of your business, without the farm, who will pay you wages, and who will support your family in Tangshan?

Everyone is working so hard, for what? Not to make money yet? In addition to Meihua, is there any other place in the world that can be so good to you?

Ask your conscience, who exempted you from the fare, who lent you money to send home, and who treated you as human beings?

It's the farm! It's Meihua Company! It is a large collective of thousands of people who are working hard and uniting with each other!

There may be a war, we have to be ready! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed.

Is the company going to war with the red fur and the black fur?

Despite their mental preparations, these unpretentious workers were shocked when they heard the news!

"Quiet!" The farm manager pulled out a bullhorn from behind him and shouted loudly.

"Do you know what selling piglets is? Any idea how we are bullied? Do you know that we are being killed again and again?

Today I want to tell you, what is blood and tears in the South Seas! Let those of you who complain all day long about your hard work know what misery is! ”

With a wave of his hand, the farm manager took over a stack of materials from his entourage, showing the treatment of Chinese workers like piglets on Dutch plantations.

"Send it down, let everyone see it!" The manager said.

Sent to the workers were gray mimeographed portraits, although somewhat blurred, but it was those blurred black and white portraits that silenced the workers.

Although they took the ship of the Meihua Company to the South Seas, and the experience of crowded, dirty, unhygienic, and damp boats left them with deep memorization, compared to the numb workers in the picture who were locked in the cabin like piglets, their original hardships were nothing at all, at least most of them were able to come to Medan unharmed.

At this time, the staff came in and whispered something in the ear of the farm manager.

After hearing this, the farm manager shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop first, now let's gather everyone in the playground outside." ”

The workers came to the playground in confusion, only to see that the originally empty playground had erected a large white curtain, and the wires were pulled up next to it, and several young people were tinkering with a machine qì, which shot out a light on the large curtain not far away, so the shadows of people walking around appeared on it.

It's a movie!

Quite a few people reacted. That's right, it's a movie, specially sent from downtown Medan.

This is a film about Chinese laborers going to the South Seas, and the scenes of Chinese laborers being abused and oppressed by Dutch colonists on plantations are shown on the film one by one.

The film is silent, black and white, and the scenes are like silent accusations, indicting the tragic experiences of the Chinese workers in Nanyang.

Looking at the sad and numb faces, the expressions on the faces of the farm workers present.

The farm manager smiled slightly in his heart and said to himself: This movie is really good.

The amazing thing is that it's not just a screening room, it's a set.

The film crew of "The Birth of a Nation" is filming on the scene, and the photographers are specially brought from William Film Company in the United States, they are all white, but for the dedication to the film (for the sake of the high pay), they automatically filter the insults (and may not understand) of Westerners by these Chinese who are about to "make trouble".

The movie is not long, only a few minutes, and it looks like it was made improvized.

After watching the movie, the farm manager's mobilization drama continued to be staged.

As the American photographer slowly pushed the camera, the farm manager's sad and generous demeanor was recorded one by one.

"Those red-haired Dutchmen are all scum, and after they tricked people into Nanyang, they often did not pay wages to the workers, and used big cigarettes to control them, and worked for them until the workers could no longer do their jobs, so they kicked them away.

Everyone knows that opium is a harmful thing, so the guy who used to run a casino and a tobacco shop in the neighborhood was hanged by us! The body was still hanging outside.

This is the company's care for everyone. Now the problem is this, the Dutch red-haired ghost colluded with the natives to come and steal things, and if we don't resist, you will end up like the workers in the movie.

Even if you can't escape, you have the ability to swim back to Tangshan, what can you do when you go back to Tangshan? ”

The manager's slap in the face made these people realize that if they didn't fight up and keep the farm, they would not be able to return to their hometown, and they would have been driven to a dead end.

Looking at the sad and angry eyes of those workers, the manager felt that the atmosphere was almost over, and if he scared them again, he frightened these honest people.

He smiled again, trying to make his smile look confident, and changed his words: "However, we have long expected this to happen.

The company has been preparing for a long time, our army in the woods is not vegetarian, there are large artillery planes, and if the enemy does not come, they will die without a place to be buried.

Come and kill one by one, come and kill a hundred people, black skin will be killed, and red hair will be killed! ”

The sound of the camera's electricity was faint, and the farm manager's words made the venue silent, and his murderous words made many workers know him more deeply.

Unexpectedly, the usually amiable and polite manager is a more fierce character than those greenskins, regardless of whether his words are true or false, you must not bump into him in the future.

The atmosphere in the canteen was tense until a few o'clock, and after the workers felt their killing intent and confidence, the farm manager continued: "I am telling you this today, not to let everyone go to war, but just to remind everyone to know in their hearts.

Truth be told, I'd rather take you to clean up those blackskins, but there's not much chance of that, because our army is too strong for them to leave me a chance. Ugh—"

Hearing that they didn't have to go to the battlefield, those workers breathed a sigh of relief, and they were a little amused by the manager's frustrated appearance.

"However, although it is not our turn to fight, we still need to be prepared, and the necessary training is still needed.

In fact, everyone usually does a good job in this job, except that you don't know how to shoot, your discipline, obedience, queue, and demeanor are like a soldier, much better than those black-skinned smokers. Those black skins don't have any skills, and with their bear-like appearance, I haven't killed ten or eight in a year? ”

Everyone was happy, although they knew that the manager was bragging, but when they heard him say this, most of the fear in their hearts was gone.

"Tomorrow the army will come and teach everyone how to shoot. Practice hard and don't embarrass me. If you practice well, you will be given half a day off, so you don't have to participate in farm work, and if you don't practice well, you will continue to do other people's work. ”

Some of the workers were excited and some dignified when they heard that they were going to shoot, and they all realized that the monotonous and fulfilling days of the past were about to change.

Finally, there is another sentence for everyone, that is, wealth and danger are sought. The security team recruited people, and hoped that everyone would sign up enthusiastically and receive this green skin.

The advantage is that you will receive two more oceans per month, and those who are excellent will be given priority to be promoted. Each security guard will be given 10 acres of land after the war, which is the bare minimum.

I came out of the security team, with a salary of 100 oceans a month, a house, a car, and 50 acres of land.

If it weren't for being dragged down by you bunnies, Lao Tzu would rather not be a farm manager than go to the battlefield to make a career.

If one of you has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, you will bravely rush forward, those black skins are not your opponents at all, and if you have made meritorious contributions, it is no longer a problem to divide a hundred or dozens of acres of land. ”？？？？？？

"The farm under our feet and the forest next to the farm add up to millions of acres, which should be not small, but do you know?

There are hundreds of such farm companies, and the land on the farms will not be given to meritorious people in the future. Whoever has the greatest merit will share more land. ”

"Manager, are you telling the truth? Can it really be divided into dozens of acres of land? Someone in the crowd asked.

Despite the manager's crotch, the workers were willing to make another determination from him.

For these bitter haha, the land is a G-spot that cannot be touched casually, and they are willing to do anything for the land! Dozens of acres of land are enough for them to fight for their lives.

"The company has the ability to cultivate such a large farm in just a few years, do you think the company is not capable of fulfilling its promise?"

The manager smiled, very satisfied with the question, he did not answer directly, but asked several rhetorical questions in a row.

"What do you think of the land here? Are all those forests reclaimed good fields? Do you know that the natives here don't know how to plow the fields, so isn't it a waste to throw them here? Do we take it well? One person can't plough so much land, is it okay to let the family come over? ”

These words were too reactionary, and the smell of instigation was too obvious, and they were recorded by the camera, and a hundred years later, they became a powerful evidence that the aborigines pointed out the sins of the Chinese. (But is it useful for the Indians to accuse the Americans?) ）

Under the earnest and kind inducement of the farm manager, the workers thought of the dozens of acres of land, and their hearts were like a chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and go up.

Seeing the enthusiasm of those simple workers being raised by himself, the farm manager smiled with satisfaction.

Thinking of the foot injury he had suffered in France, he felt a little gloomy. Many of the brothers who came back from France together became battalion commanders and company commanders.

Xindao: The South China Army is well-armed and well-trained, and it doesn't have to be the French soldiers you saw on the European battlefield, it shouldn't be a problem to clean up the natives and the declining Dutch, and it's a pity that you can't go into battle, otherwise with your own ability, how can you mix up a battalion commander and regiment commander, maybe you can still be a general?

The next day, a convoy came to the farm, and several soldiers with tall waists and grim faces came down. Under the command of the farm manager, boxes of weapons were removed from the cart and distributed to the workers with solemn faces.

At the same time, such scenes were played out on the farms of Medan or other American Chinese companies in Sumatra and Borneo, and for a while, the dense forests of the Indonesian archipelago were filled with gunfire and murderous atmosphere. And the surrounding natives had already evaporated into the air in the morning.
