One thousand forty-eight. The Paris Uprising

Saturday, August 2, 1966.

On this day, there seems nothing wrong with Paris on the surface, ordinary citizens still have to worry about ordinary life after getting up, and the police still appear on the streets with nothing to do.

When Prime Minister Sinag walked into his office, he spoke to President Katri on the phone, as is customary, and then had to bury himself in papers all day.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten to ask his secretary to bring him a cup of coffee.

Isn't that what an ordinary day looks like? Settle in your office, finish your busy day, report to President Katri, and then leave work.

Who says the prime minister can't have a break? In Sinag's view, the prime minister should have more time off than anyone else, because he is at the heart of the country.

"Here's the ticket you want for tonight at the Paris Opera." The secretary handed the two tickets to the Prime Minister: "I wish you and your wife a wonderful evening." ”

"It would have made me even more satisfied if those pesky bodyguards weren't there to bother me and my wife." Sinag joked.

Of course, having said that, but as the prime minister of a country, it is absolutely unthinkable to be without a bodyguard by his side.

Ah, think about it carefully, I just deposited all my life savings into Dewey Bank yesterday, this is really a great bank, with the support of the "Lion Fund", I will soon multiply my wealth.

Of course, the "lion fund" should indeed reward itself well. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone so well in France.

Thinking about this, Sinager felt that the troublesome situation in France was no longer so terrible......

......

It's 8 a.m., and workers are walking into the Paris steel works. The workers didn't look any different than usual. There was no expression on their faces. Their steps were still as heavy as they were. The hardships of the day will begin soon, and in exchange for a meager salary.

But in the eyes of the management, they have no right to complain...... In today's situation in France, it's good to have a stable job......

As president of the steel plant, Thierry is very happy with all this. Some time ago, the union and the management began negotiations to reduce working hours and increase work pay. However, it was resolutely rejected by the management. They even threatened the workers' representatives to either work overtime at their current wages and working hours to keep the factories running, or to be thrown into prison by the military police for sabotage of production.

It is important to know that the Paris steel plant is a company backed by the government......

That ridiculous union president, Avako, was still talking to himself. Don't they know that Lu Dao is in charge here? Don't they know that he himself gave them a bite to eat here? Don't they know that in order to ensure the smooth operation of the factory, more than 100 military and police officers have already been stationed in the steel plant under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Adams......

These stupid guys, the only thing they can do is honestly work for themselves...... They are not qualified to bargain with themselves......

Now see how good the situation is? The workers were still going to work as normal, and they didn't make any further moves at all......

Thierry took a thick cigar and put it on his mouth......

......

"Avaco. The workers are ready...... "Pisnoche whispered to the side of Avako, the president of the union.

"Good. Tell everyone to start the action at 9 o'clock ...... p.m." Avako looked to the side: "And we have been instructed by our superiors that the military police will not take any action against us today. ”

Pisnoche was a little surprised, wouldn't the military police interfere with their actions? How did the superiors do this? The French government's lackeys are brutal enough to infuriate. But since Avako said so, there must be a reason for him.

Workers walked past him one after another, and everyone who passed by Avako cast a meaningful look at him......

The great wave of revolution will break out today...... The great wave of revolution will be the first to break out at the Paris steel works......

The workers walked into their workshop normally, but the only thing that was not normal was that they did not change into their work clothes as usual......

Gelton, the supervisor of the quenching workshop, was very dissatisfied, but now there are more than 20 minutes before the start of construction. Maybe these cheap bones are taking advantage of this time to be lazy first. But if you think about it, it's not quite like, why did the workers come in so early today? At 8 o'clock, a large number of workers came to the factory......

He dialed Thierry's phone. He was briefed on the situation, but Thierry, on the other end of the line, said with great interest: "Ah, my dear Gerton, isn't that a good thing?" Workers are already willing to go to work early. Their minds, which are always open-minded, finally understand one thing, it is not easy to find such a stable job at this time...... I'm even thinking about whether I should have started earlier......"

The boss is probably right...... Gerton put down the phone in his hand and shrugged.

It was already 9 o'clock, but none of the workers had any intention of changing into their work clothes and going to work...... Gerton couldn't bear it anymore, and he scolded loudly: "Hey, hey, you lazy bones, do you see what time it is?" Are you going to sit here until you eat? Get up, get up for me, and get to work! ”

But still not a single worker left...... Gerton was furious, and was about to continue cursing them in vicious language, but he noticed that the workers suddenly stood up. Gerton thought it was his own invective that had done its job. But it soon became clear that this was not the case at all. The workers rose up only because the president of the union, Avako, had arrived.

"Gerton, we decided to negotiate again today." Avaco came to Gerton under the protection of the workers: "We continue to make our previous demands. In addition, we ask the factory to fully accept every request we make......"

"Are you crazy?" Gerton looked at Avako as if he were looking at a fool: "Monsieur Thierry has unequivocally rejected all your demands, and now, I order you to start work at once!" ”

"Well, we've lost room for negotiation!" Avaco said coldly: "I declare that from August 2, 1966, the strike at the Paris steel works will begin!" ”

Gerton was completely dumbfounded. Strike? Did he hear it wrong? They actually chose to strike at this time?

However, he saw Avako come to a relatively high place, and then said in a loud voice:

"My compatriots. We do the most menial manual work, but we get the most menial wages. We work hard every day, but in exchange for a salary that even our families can't support. The wealth we have worked so hard to create is in exchange for the extravagance of the capitalists...... We have repeatedly made our reasonable requests. However, it has been rejected again and again by the most arrogant and unreasonable management...... Our requirements are very simple. I just want to fill my stomach and my family, but even this poor request can't be met...... Thierry and his lackeys, like Gerton, shamelessly exploited us, shamelessly tried to drain us of the last bit of value we could use, and they wanted us to die in our jobs without having to pay even a single franc for our pensions...... Now, it's time to change all that completely......"

Gerton was completely dumbfounded. How dare Avako say such a rebellious thing here......

However, Avako's words did not end there:

"The great revolutionary pioneer Yatez who has died. Mr. Yetiri cared about our lives countless times during his lifetime. But such a righteous and merciful elder was shamelessly murdered by the government! Mr. Yatiri may have left us, but his soul lives forever in our bodies! Wake up, fellow citizens! Wake up, France! For the sake of our most basic right to exist, and for the sake of Mr. Jetiri's unfinished legacy, I declare that the general strike at the steel mills in Paris has begun! ”

Cheers and slogans resounded in the workshop...... At 9 o'clock, all workers in all workshops of the Paris steel plant announced the official start of the strike......

Gerton fled the workshop like a lost dog, and reported the situation to Thierry in a panic, only to find that the supervisors of the various workshops had arrived, and that they were in the same situation as himself.

Thierry's face was gloomy, and he never thought that the damned workers would choose to strike today, thus catching him off guard.

"Answer Lieutenant Colonel Adams' call at once......" Thierry hurriedly picked up the phone, and when he heard Lieutenant Colonel Adams' voice, it was as if he had seen a savior: "Lieutenant Colonel, those damned workers are on strike and trying to break out of the factory, and this will have a serious impact not only on the factory, but also on the government. I ask you to take your people with you immediately to suppress ......"

"Mr. President, I don't have to obey your orders." Who would have thought that Lieutenant Colonel Adams on the other end of the phone said so coldly.

Thierry was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he really didn't have much capital to order from the military and police, and he barely controlled the unhappiness in his heart: "Yes, I think I said something wrong. Then, Lieutenant Colonel, I beg you to suppress it at once, and order all the workers to return to their posts! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Adams's voice still sounded so emotionless: "Mr. President, I need to remind you once again that I only have more than 100 subordinates, and the other party is thousands of workers, do you want me to deal with dozens of people alone?" Unless I'm really crazy. ”

Thierry stayed there, how could the lieutenant colonel say such a thing? Isn't their job here to guard against the workers from making trouble? Don't they have guns in their hands?

"Unfortunately, I and my men will not do anything until we receive further orders and reinforcements from above...... Lieutenant Colonel Adams hung up.

"Damn workers. Damn lieutenant colonel! Thierry was furious, but he had nothing to do: "Give me the Prime Minister's Office, immediately!" ”

"Mr. President. Come and see it! ”

At the cries of his men, Thierry came to the window, and he saw a scene that he would never forget...... Countless workers poured out from various workshops, and then gathered together, walking towards the factory gate with great momentum...... The military and police who were supposed to be there at the factory gate have now completely lost their shadows...... The workers left the Paris steel works without any hindrance......

It was over, and Thierry's head felt dizzy. He knew that something big must happen in Paris today......

......

"What? Did the workers of the Paris steel mills strike and take to the streets to demonstrate? When he heard the news, Sinag couldn't believe it was true, and then. The phone on his desk rang again and again: "Huh? There have also been strikes at garment factories and cement factories..... Damn, those guys in the restaurant are going to go on strike for anything......"

One bad news after another, and it seemed that the whole of Paris was completely thrown into chaos in just an hour......

Strikes, marches, demonstrations, these damn guys have done such an unforgivable thing! Sinagher angrily picked up the phone: "Pick me up from Berkeley's office...... I'm Prime Minister Sinag. Those in Paris are engaged in an organized despicable act against the government...... Yes. I demand that the police and the secret police be mobilized to quell this incident at all costs...... Yes, you can do whatever you think is worth it when you have to...... Fill me up until you can even shoot me if necessary......"

Hanging up the phone with Berkeley, he quickly answered General Robito's phone again: "General Robito, the situation in Paris has changed, and I ask all the troops to immediately go to the streets to maintain order. ”

General Robito on the other end of the line said cautiously: "Your Excellency, I have also received this terrible news. But I think that the 51st Panzer Corps and the 52nd Panzer Corps cannot be dispatched, they have a much heavier task. If people with ulterior motives take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, the army will be very dangerous. I propose to transfer the 1st National Guard Division in Paris to ......"

Sinag thought for a moment, and probably felt that General Robito's suggestion was correct: "Then, General, I ask that you must stabilize the army at all costs. ”

After receiving an affirmative promise from General Robito, Sinag called the 1st National Guard Division in Paris......

......

"Most of Paris is already in action! Gentlemen, our long-awaited moment has finally arrived! ”

At the headquarters of the "Yetiri Revolutionary Party", the new leader of the Yetiri Revolutionary Party, Litem, excitedly announced the news: "Let's get out of here together and show solidarity with the great revolutionary wave!" ”

The entire conference room erupted in a tidal wave of cheers...... Get out of the mess, get out of the mess, be with all the Parisians, overthrow this government!

They rushed out of the river like chicken blood, constantly chanting slogans in their mouths, scrambling to be the first. In the past, a large number of people had been transferred to various places to organize marches, such as Avaco at the Paris steel works. And those who are still here are very worried that the credit will be robbed by others, and they must take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform well.

When only himself and Baron Alexon were left in the office, Littlem said cautiously: "Baron, the Great Revolution has begun, so I?" ”

"Go and be with your comrades too." Wang Weiyi closed the book in his hand: "What an exciting day! ”

Littlem's emotions were completely aroused by the baron's words, and he nodded heavily at the baron, and then strode out of his office......

"Baron, I'll go too!" Dodoan said excitedly.

Wang Weiyi shook his head with a smile, looking at Duoduoan's puzzled eyes, he said in a low voice: "Duoduoan, this is not a real revolution, the real revolution is completely different from what you imagined, I ask you to stay here, stay by my side, and then look carefully, not with your eyes, but with your heart to feel." ”

Dodogan didn't understand what this meant, and he looked at Baron Alexon in confusion. "Baron, I don't know how to feel it with my heart. ”

"yes, you still don't understand what that means." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "But when you really grow up many years later, you will understand all this, and you will ask what is a real revolution and what is a real revolutionary." ”

"And what about Mr. Yetriri? Was he a real revolutionary? Dodoan asked curiously.

"No, he was never a real revolutionary." Wang Weiyi's answer was so categorical: "A true revolutionary will not fall, especially not as worthless as he is." ”

Dodoan has completely lost himself at this moment! (To be continued......)
