Chapter 110: Two Counter-Revolutionaries Arrested! (3rd Update!) Ask for support! )
In the sky of New York, black smoke often rises from the burning of things, and the initiators are the participants of the Great Revolution, who rob valuable things when they see them, and burn things that are not pleasing to the eye!
Chaos is inevitable in any revolution, and when the masses are stirred up, then they are a mere rabble, and they have only emotion and little rationality.
Of course, this kind of labor pain is also necessary, and the revolution is like this, if it is not broken, it will not stand!
Cyrus. West. Field witnessed the whole New York Revolution, and it should be said that he was lucky, because he was a bourgeoisie through and through, a very wealthy capitalist, and his success was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars even before he was in his 30s, but he was at least still full head and tail in this Revolution.
In short, Sellers. Field wasn't much of a hit, and it probably had something to do with his industry, he used to make his fortune in the printing industry, and now he was more interested in a new industry, the telegraph!
Telegraph, this is a real emerging industry, and the United States, a young country, just in time for a period of great development of telegraphy, from the 40s of the 19th century, the United States has entered a crazy period of laying telegraph lines, just like crazy, until now, basically every state in the United States has laid telegraph lines, even California has also telegraphed.
There's also a very interesting little story about a courier company named Bernie, with 500 horses, and the postmen were all young men. They all swore an oath before the Bible. Thereupon. They wanted to compare it with the telegraph. See who's fast, the result is ...... The Bernie Company collapsed, and California became more connected to the United States.
But to be honest, these things are nothing compared to what Field is going to do, because what he wants to do is to lay a link between the United States and Britain. That is, the submarine telegraph cable connecting the United States to Europe!
The United States is not connected to Europe, or even the whole world, she is isolated, but now, with the development of our technology, we can change this state, as long as a cable is laid in the sea, then the world can be connected!
The idea can be described as crazy, because in terms of current technology. It's just incredible, but!
Cyrus. Field succeeded. He really did it!
It was 1858, and after three failures, he finally put a long cable in the sea, and there was a signal, and there was a grand ceremony all over New York, and his carriage was at the head of the procession, and the president at the time, Buchanan, was just sitting in the third carriage!
That's the ultimate glory!
However, it didn't take long to find that the signal from that cable was too poor and too weak to be used at all, that is, he failed again.
Unwilling, just unwilling, so Field was ready to do it again, but now, he encountered a huge difficulty!
"Don't rob it! I beg you! It's useless for you to take these things back! ”
"You bastard capitalist! Less fucking nonsense! ”
"If you say more, I'll kill you!"
"These things are copper wires! Copper! You even say it's useless? The capitalists are really liars! ”
That's right, Cyrus. Field's factory in Brooklyn was robbed, and the key robbery was not the original worker, to be honest, because his project was mainly technically complicated, and he really didn't have too much oppression for the workers, so he didn't suffer much impact.
But I don't know who is cheap, saying that the cables here are valuable, yes, they are all copper.
"You thugs, shameless! Your deeds will be punished by God! ”
At this time, a bearded middle-aged man came out, and his temper was hot enough, so he wanted to stretch out his hand.
"Hah! You bastard! Believe it or not, I'm going to hack you to death right away? ”
"Don't mess with Lao Tzu!"
The robbers kept their hands on their hands, just verbally threatening?
"I'm! I'm! "Middle-aged people can't help it, there are a lot of robbers.
"Mr. Thomson, don't be like them." Naffield was very respectful to the middle-aged man.
But though, seeing these cables being dismembered and then traded for money is a ......
"What the fuck are you all doing!?" Suddenly, there was a loud shout from far and near, and a group of people rushed in, all dressed in ordinary clothes, but with red strips of cloth on their right arms.
"You ......"
"Run! It's a workers' security maintenance association! ”
"Bastard!"
Workers' Policing Association?
For this name, Cyrus. Field felt strange, what the hell were they doing?
"Fack! You bastards, didn't you say what we proletarians say! ”
Bang! Bang!
Some of these people don't want to leave, and these people don't come empty-handed, they seem to be angry, they are about to run out, and then turn around and put their guns away!
"Bastard! Pursue! ”
"Great Clint. Mr. Lee teaches us! We must clean up these revolutionary pests! ”
"Rush!"
The guy with the strip of red cloth on his arm was fierce enough to be fearless enough to chase the robbers who shot him.
"Where's the gun?"
Hearing the gunshots, Li Mengyang, who was patrolling nearby, naturally wanted to ask.
"Mr. Clint, it should be over there." McIlroy was a key member of the New York workers' community, and this time he was acting as a tour guide.
"Dream sheep! I'll check it out! Of course, Mai Lili is also there, he is now Li Mengyang's personal guard.
"Let's take a look!" Li Mengyang turned the horse's head and quickly rushed over.
It didn't take long for Sellers. There was another group of people in Field's factory, and they were all riding tall horses, and they had a great sense of showing off their might.
"Report to Mr. Clint!"
"Please!"
"There was just a bunch of robbers! We're on the hunt! ”
"Good!"
The man with the red cloth was reporting to Li Mengyang. Actually, this law and order maintenance meeting. It was Li Mengyang who made it. In order to calm the current chaos in New York City.
Although our revolution was vigorous, but also provoked a lot of ghosts, snakes, and gods, you know, New York was originally known as the Sin City, and there are never a few miscellaneous scum here, so there are a large number of lawbreakers, taking advantage of the opportunity of the revolution to carry out robbery and other bastard acts there!
These guys have to be suppressed!
Thereupon. Li Mengyang promulgated a temporary regulation, that is, as long as there is a violation of the law, then law enforcement officers can have the right to deal with it urgently.
To put it bluntly, you can shoot those criminals without any legal action.
To be honest, even Li Mengyang himself knows this law, which is not right, but now he is in a hurry, besides, he is actually ...... for this revolution
"You're Clint. Mr. Lee? "This time Cyrus. Field spoke suddenly. Because he sees a glimmer of hope, "Sir." I've suffered a lot now, and I hope you can compensate me! ”
"Reparations?" Li Mengyang smiled at the time, "Why do we compensate?" Your loss is not our fault, right? ”
"How not?!" Unexpectedly, Naffield was even more energetic, "If it weren't for what kind of revolution you guys were engaged in, how could my factory have suffered such a big loss?" I haven't bullied any workers! If you don't believe me, you can ask my workers! ”
This field is not even pointing to the revolution!
"Shut up! Where do you have to speak here? The one with the red strip of cloth immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Haha......" Li Mengyang smiled, "It's okay, let him continue." ”
"You, you're ......," said Naffield, glancing at Clint. Lee's style seems to be quite gentlemanly, so he can't say anything.
"This gentleman." Li Mengyang was about to say, "Maybe you haven't bullied workers, but it doesn't mean that others haven't, and although you haven't bullied workers, you have benefited because others bullied workers." ”
"What? I absolutely didn't! Field immediately denied it.
"Didn't you? Hahaha......" Li Mengyang still smiled, "Okay, let me ask you, for workers, do you give much higher wages than other factories?" ”
Just ask, Na Cyrus. Field stopped talking, for he already knew that Clint was the same. Lee is going to say something.
Yes, you may not be bullying the workers, but how did the low wages of the workers come about? Isn't this bullied by other capitalists? So since you didn't pay much more, didn't you just enjoy the dividends that others got from bullying workers?
Yes, that's the truth, it sounds easy to understand, but if you don't make things bigger, then no one will admit it, and you will make a lot of money.
"This gentleman." At this time, the middle-aged man named Thomson spoke, "Your speech is very decent, I really can't believe that you are with these guys." ”
This is feeling sorry for Li Mengyang, but Li Mengyang still laughed.
"Sir, you should be a believer in God, right? So why look at others differently? Everyone is equal, all people are equal! What's wrong with me with the workers? ”
I have to say that this is Li Mengyang's view all along.
"Well, I have to say, you're a good talker. You're Clint. Plum? The guy who wrote "The Picture of Dorian Gray"? ”
"Exactly."
Both sides have started to introduce, so you guys have to report to their homes as well.
"I'm Cyrus. Field, is the general manager of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. Field revealed his identity.
The Atlantic Telegraph Company? The name of this company instantly attracted Li Mengyang's attention.
"This is William. Mr. Thomson, a scholar from England, is a ......"
"Huh? It's him?! As soon as Li Mengyang heard this name, and then thought of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and that Field, he was taken aback at the time, and then ......
"Take it away! Take both of them away! ”
"What?"
"Why?!"
Can those two be willing?
But the shape shì is stronger than the people, and the gang with red cloth strips completely ignore the struggles and resistance of these two people.
However, Li Mengyang still added the reason.
"These two people are suspected of being counter-revolutionary!"
"Yes! Resolutely complete the task assigned by Mr. Clint! ”
This...... People grabbed copper wires, why did Li Mengyang even rob people? And it's so heartbreaking?
The constant black smoke rising from New York City seemed to cast a shadow over the Revolution...... (To be continued......)
