Chapter 185: Occupy Wall Street (Part I)

The NYPD's arrests were not successful, and like some of the large-scale operations that preceded them, they always leaked out of the way, intentionally or unintentionally. So the police arrived at Toldo's newly formed New York Railroad Workers' Union and tried to arrest the union leaders, including Toldo.

However, they did not find these union leaders in the union, and apparently, they had already gotten the news and made the transfer. Moreover, when they searched and closed down the railway workers' union, and were about to leave with all the information they had obtained from the union, they were surrounded by workers who rushed to hear the news.

Being surrounded by workers in the United States is not the same thing as being surrounded by workers at the European Cup. First of all, in Europe, the workers generally did not have guns, but in the United States, since the founding of the country, in order to fight against the bandits, Cornwall, the common people have a lot of guns in their hands, and then they have to fight with the Indians when they go west or something, which also determines that the common people must not be without guns. In this way, the workers have the same guns in their hands.

Secondly, at this time, the American police were far less experienced in dealing with mass cases than in Europe. It is not that the United States is without labor disputes, but because of the pressure relief valve in the west, the intensity of the struggle is still not as fierce as that of Europe, so the experience of the American police in this regard is naturally inferior to that of Europe. If the European police show signs of crowd concentration, most of them will withdraw in advance, and they will never be blocked lightly.

But the inexperienced American police were really surrounded by thousands of workers.

In this era, there are no telephones, well, there are not even hand-cranked manual transfers, and there are no shadows of anything like satellite wireless mobile phones. There were telegrams or something, but there were no such expensive things in the unions. So, once it's surrounded, there's a regiment of federal troops just a phone call from me, and it's hard to even think about driving an FT-17 over to cover the field or something. I can only hope that there are informants in the crowd and some kind of quietly go to the police station to report the news.

As a result, by the time the police station got the news, and then organized reinforcements (the police were not strong enough and had to turn to the state militia and the federal army, and the arrival of the state militia and the federal army took time), and was ready to drive into the slums to relieve the siege, the dozen or so police officers who had been sent out earlier had already been shot, stripped naked, and tarped by the angry workers, and then expelled back.

This slap made the New York Police Department's face spicy and painful. If you don't find a place to come, it won't be convenient to collect protection money in the future, isn't it? What the? You say, it's the gang that collects protection money? I don't know it, I really think the police won't charge protection money? Anyway, a few days later, the police station went out in a big way, and arrested seventy or eighty people in one go.

Such a move, of course, also attracted protests from the workers. With the help of trade unions, tens of thousands of unemployed workers staged huge demonstrations. While the police and militia throughout New York were in the vicinity of the police headquarters, the mighty procession of workers turned a corner and rushed towards Manhattan.

Morgan was doing some day-to-day business in his bank when he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. He was so surprised that he looked down from the window on the third floor where his office was located, and now tens of thousands of poor people were pouring into Wall Street like a swarm of locusts. The poor people held up banners that read, "Ninety-nine percent of Americans are against Wall Street."

"Damn it! Those stupid people in the police department are really unreliable, and they actually put so many people on Wall Street! Morgan trembled with rage.

The entire Wall Street is only 5oo meters long, and tens of thousands of people poured in, and almost in the blink of an eye, the entire Wall Street was crowded.

"Quick, where's the convoy? Get ready! Morgan shouted. He followed Scrooge's example and also raised a private army, but because he did not light up the technology tree of weapon specialization and military struggle practice, the strength of this private army in his hand was still much worse than the black water in Scrooge's hand. But in terms of scale, compared with the scale of thousands of people in Blackwater, his private army of hundreds of people is much smaller, and as for combat experience, due to the lack of participation in the battle, of course, it is also worse. However, when it comes to weaponry and training, Morgan's private army is not bad, for example, the more than 50 people in this building are definitely armed to the teeth. After receiving training services from Blackwater, their weapons and training were optimized specifically for the Battle of the Building.

Most of the fifty-man crew were armed with pump-action shotguns from MacDonald, which were far more powerful than ordinary rifles in close-quarters combat in the building. In addition, a revolver or something is also a person's hand. Coupled with the specially crafted Enhanced Blaster Grenade, it will not be easy for even an army to occupy this building.

The team immediately took action, and the customers in the bank were quickly evacuated, the door of the bank was quickly closed, and a sign was hung up for uninvited entry.

However, there was no incident of a crowd of demonstrators storming the bank. According to U.S. law, trespassing on private property allows the owner to shoot and kill the unsuspected. It is said that there was once an unlucky Japanese student who went out to party with friends at night to eat barbecue, poured two more cups of cat urine, and was anxious, so he went out alone to solve it. When I came back, because it was dark and because of the road idiot's nature, I turned left when I went out, and when I came back, I turned to the left and went into a Yankee's house. In the middle of the night, a person broke into the house, and of course the owner was very nervous, so he immediately took out a pistol and said to the little Japanese: "Freeze! If it was an American, he would have immediately realized that there was a gun pointed at him, because the word means "don't move" in the United States (this is the first word you have to understand when you go to the United States). But the one who came in was a Japanese, and the Japanese are almost world-famous for their poor English, so what is "freeze", and the first reaction of the Japanese when they hear it is what to say? The second reaction is freezing (the original meaning of freeze). Where is it frozen? So the Japanese man walked on, trying to see where it was freezing. Then, the master emptied a magazine at him in one breath and sent him directly to the express to the west, and then, well, the court said that the master's actions were completely legal.

So, if the workers storm the bank, then Morgan's guards shoot and kill as many people as they want. The workers, of course, knew this, so the demonstrators just filled the streets, chanting slogans, but did not really storm the banks.

However, the more people gathered, it still caused a lot of pressure on Morgan. On the surface, Morgan is a very arrogant person, full of explosiveness, and seems to want to provoke others at any time. But on the other hand, Morgan is quite a nervous guy, according to some people who know him well, Morgan is actually very sensitive and timid, and the slightest disturbance in the market can keep him awake all night. Now, looking downstairs, densely packed with human heads, it is estimated that Morgan is going to lose sleep again.

"Mr. Morgan, it's a security concern. We feel like you should get out of here. Morgan's guard captain Alain said.

"Okay, let's get out right away, it's horrible!" Morgan said.

For security reasons, there is a secret passage in the Morgan Bank building that leads to the nearby main sewer, where there is also a boat that can be taken to a safe location.

Several guards with lanterns and shotguns walked in front, followed by Morgan, and several more guards behind him. Several people hugged him downstairs, into the dark basement, and then walked a little further down the dark alleyway. Gradually, the sound of running water could be heard, and then the alleyway turned again, and the Manhattan sewers appeared in front of them.

One of the guards immediately opened his umbrella to cover Morgan from the water dripping from the top of the sewer, and the other two guards quickly put the boat that was resting next to them into the water, and then jumped onto the boat to inspect the boat, and the other guards quickly took up defensive positions.

The two guards on the ship checked it, then signaled to the top that it was normal, and Morgan boarded the boat with the help of one of the guards. Several of the guards followed, picked up the oars, and rowed......

……

"The Diao people have taken over Wall Street and are making unrealistic demands. They went so far as to demand that the government investigate the speculators who led the oil crash, impose minimum wages through legislation, and force companies not to arbitrarily dismiss their employees. As a result of their illegal acts, the entire financial operation of Wall Street will be severely affected, and the entire US economy will be hit as a result. In order to maintain order in the United States and to protect the rights of more people, the federal government of the United States should act immediately and take drastic measures to restore order. The New York Herald, which had always stood firmly on the side of the plutocrats, jumped out first and demanded that the government take the necessary measures to crack down.

Other newspapers also published articles accusing the workers of disrupting order, or persuading the workers not to make "political demands", and of course, the media, which seemed to be sitting on the side of the workers, full of sympathy for the workers, "full of tears" and other things such as "Tearful Advice to the Victims of the Oil Crisis". In any case, there was a rare unanimous attitude in the entire public opinion circles calling for the workers to withdraw from Wall Street.

However, this is not the most effective trick, the most effective trick is the police department, they first control several entrances to Manhattan Island, they are not allowed to enter, no longer let the workers look like people come in, and the demonstrators also want to eat, so soon, the demonstrators began to gradually leave. However, the union's action was not unprepared, and nearly a thousand people remained on Wall Street, preparing tarpaulin tents and food, ready to occupy Wall Street for at least a week.
