As the easternmost city of the Third Republic, July in Revaderen has entered its hottest season. A sky without a single cloud is completely incapable of blocking the heat from the sun. The blazing light baked everything in the city into distorted shapes. And in this air that can heat people to the point of collapse, the workers of the Chisha Foundry are sweating like rain.

"Cassie", wearing only a pair of pants, a naked brown top, and a towel around their necks, Tara and Hansen took advantage of their shifts to find Cassie Lonergan, who was sitting on a huge anchor and drinking water. The noisy noise of the anchoryard and the shouting of the workers made it impossible for anyone except the two to hear what they were chatting about.

"You're all set, are you going to get started?"

Taraji's voice was not loud, and the noisy background sound made it difficult to hear. But Cassie Lonergan heard it clearly. His body is much stronger than half a year ago, his complexion has darkened, and the confusion in his eyes has decreased a little.

"Of course", Cassie Lonergan picked up the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's better to die standing than to be exploited to death by these capitalists, right?" ”

"That's," Tara nodded, "a hundred and twenty-seven brothers in all, but only two steam rifles were found, still Anken Rein's Type 27." This is the cheapest gun on the black market, and the others are expensive and cannot be bought. ”

"Guns don't matter," Cassie Lonergan waved his hand absently, "as long as the plan goes well, we'll have guns soon." ”

"Understood, about the specific plan ......"

As the organizing deputy of this armed uprising, Tara and others have a lot to confirm with this Cassie Lonergan. As a native of Evadron, he had met this man when Cassie Lonergan came to Rawaderen half a year ago to start the Rawaderen branch of the Trade Union Party. At that time, Tara scoffed at the Labour Union's parliamentary communist approach. He went to the workplace of the trade unions, asked and looked at it, and then gave up the idea of joining. At that time, Tara had no idea that after half a year, he would launch an armed uprising with this Cassie Lonergan. If there is anything that unites two people, or rather, all those who are interested in communism, it must be President Aziva Land's tyrannical policy towards communism.

If you don't let us live, we will naturally not let you have a good time.

In the hot, distorted air, two shirtless workers chatted seemingly casually, and most people didn't care what these bitter hahas were talking about. But Overseer Olek Quinn believes that no matter what they talk about, they can't afford to delay their work. He walked quickly around the anchor on the ground, walked over to the two men, and gave the command.

"You guys, don't chat, work hard!"

Cassie Lonergan, who was chatting, stopped with Tara and Hansen. The two apologized respectfully and said that they would go back to work immediately. But Overseer Olek was obviously not satisfied with this, he was already very unhappy standing under the sun to supervise the work of this group of lazy people, how could he let these two people be fooled so easily. He reprimanded the two of them, whipped each of them with the small whip in his hand, and watched with satisfaction as they added new wounds to the countless old whip wounds on their backs, before kicking the two men back to work with his feet. To deal with these uneducated workers who only know how to eat and drink well, be lazy and fart, Oleke feels that his management method is the best. Before, he probably wouldn't have gone too far. Recently, however, they have been cracking down on communism, and if they see a worker who is not pleasing to their eyes, they can report a suspected communist to the police station, and they can immediately make that worker unable to survive or die. With such a killer feature, people like Olek are becoming more and more arrogant.

The busy work continued into the evening, as the recent clashes between Loren Robles and the Alonte Empire near the coastline intensified, and the Fern Third Republic stepped up its efforts to build up its maritime power. Originally just a small seaside town without a port, Evadren has also become busy because of its close proximity to the port city of Pillerburg. At the same time, it is the workers of these anchoryards who are busy.

After a light supper, and after a long evening, in the wee hours of the morning, Tara and Cassie Lonergan, along with the rest of the workers who had decided to start an uprising, gathered around the police station. If they want to get their hands on weapons, the police station is the most convenient place. Moreover, during the uprising, first controlling the police station and then attacking the city government was also a relatively unanimous plan that everyone accepted.

"How's it going, are you ready?"

Squatting outside the light of the only pyroxene lamp in front of the police station, Cassie Lonergan asked the comrades next to him one last time. Everyone nodded slightly, their eyes resolute. Although Evaderen is remote, the living conditions of the working class are even worse, and everyone has had enough of this kind of life. Now I can use my own hands and life to find a way out, which is naturally glad.

"That's it."

As if to make up her mind, Tara and softly confirmed. His answer seemed to have turned on a switch. Cassie Lonergan nodded and signaled.

"Let's get started."

So, Tara and a few of her brothers who had already chosen stood up and ran to the lights in a panic, and they scrambled at the door of the police station, shouting for help.

"Help, help, kill!!!"

Hearing the cries for help, the police officers on duty appeared behind the door. They asked impatiently as they glanced at the blood stains on Tara and his companions.

"What the fuck is noisy! What's the matter, say! ”

"Factory, factory", Tara and her excited breath were out of breath. If you look at Cassie Lonergan's point of view, his acting skills are perfect, "Someone in the factory killed someone!" Three people died!! ”

"What?" , I heard that it was a homicide case, and the police were also a little nervous, so he asked a few more words, and found that he couldn't ask a reason from these people. He told Tara and the others to wait outside the door, then turned and went into the house. After a while, a team of ten policemen opened the door and walked out.

"Where? Lead the way! ”

"Here, here, sir!"

Tara and his co-workers led the cops through the intersection where Cassie Lonergan had been ambushed. Cassie Lonergan and other co-workers rushed up and stabbed the cops in the darkness of the night. For some reason, Cassie Lonergan, who has never killed anyone, didn't have much in her heart when she killed the police officer she was responsible for the attack. At that moment, his only thought was the former leader who died on the gallows.

The workers who started the uprising took the weapons of these policemen and rushed to the police station. At this time, half of the people on duty at the police station were gone, and most of the rest were also groggy and were quickly breached. The workers occupied the police station, found the police department's weapons store, released all the suspected communist elements who were locked up in the police station's cells, equipped everyone with police steam rifles, and rushed to the town hall. Although there will be no one at the town hall at this time, in the accommodation area next to the town hall, all the high-ranking officials of the city are there. As long as they are killed, the city will enter a leaderless state, and the uprising will also achieve a preliminary victory.

Breaking into the accommodation area next to the town hall is easier than you think. The workers who started the uprising mercilessly killed most of the officials, leaving only the mayor, Eric Daureo. After that, they split up and rushed to the city's three largest workers' districts.

And Cassie Lonergan is in charge of the Chisha Foundry. He led the men to open the factory door, entered the workers' quarters, woke everyone up from the Chase bunk, found the crates, stood on the boxes, and simply announced to the workers the fact that Evadron had fallen into their hands.

“…… So, now that the city belongs to the communists, we will start here and liberate the 60 million working class in the country. You are my co-workers, my seniors and mentors. I'm standing here, and I don't say anything else, but I'm going to ask you a word, are you living with these things on your back—", said Cassie Lonergan, turning around and revealing the whip marks on his back, "or stand up like a man, and give yourself a future, and a future for us working class, which way do you say!! ”

"Needless to say, of course it's to live like a man!"

Many members of the workers' community stood up and answered the call. But there are also many people who are honest and gentle, and they are not willing to get involved in such things. Cassie Lonergan was about to say something more, when he noticed that an uninvited guest had broken into their humble venue.

That's the overseers of the factory. As overseers, they always live not far from the workers, which is convenient for management. Hearing the commotion at night, Olek Quinn and the other overseers rushed over with a small whip in their hands. They originally wanted to see which one of them didn't let people sleep in the middle of the night, and they had a good fixation. But when they arrived at the scene, they found that things seemed to be different from what they thought.

"You fucking—"

As soon as Olek remembered in a voice of anger and hatred, he was choked back by countless pairs of eyes looking at him. He quickly looked around and saw that almost all the workers in the factory were gathered here. And many of those who stand in front of these workers are also factory workers. The only difference is that they have a steam backpack on their backs and a gun in their hands.

“…… That one...... You're busy...... I...... I'll go first......"

Olek realized for a split second that something was wrong. He nodded his head and completed the transformation of his identity in less than a second. But how could Kassi Lonergan let these people go? They grabbed the overseers, tied them up, brought them to everyone, and counted their charges one by one. The workers present have been oppressed by these overseers for a long time and are already full of resentment. Now that I finally have a chance to fight back, I naturally won't be stingy. Cassie Lonergan took the lead in picking up the overseer's whip and whipped Olek and others while telling about the oppression and injustice he had suffered. The overseers begged for mercy at first, but soon became angry at the beating and began to insult and threaten the workers present, saying that they would die a bad death and would be executed as communists. This act aroused everyone's emotions even more, and the workers in front of them swarmed up and knocked the overseers to the ground. Cassie Lonergan saw that everyone's mood was about the same, and killed the overseers in front of everyone.

"You have also seen that in the eyes of these people, even if you don't do anything, you will be killed as communists. So why grovel and earn a little money that is not enough to cover your stomach? Stand up, stand up with your backs straight, let us be like a real person, no longer exploited, no longer oppressed, rely on our own hands, to all our working class, fight for a future! ”

At this point, no one hesitates and lingers anymore. The workers joined Cassie Lonergan's uprising. They took control of the factory, killed the other overseers, found their respective weapons, and then rounded the town hall with two other workers under the leadership of Cassie Lonergan. By this point, the number of workers in the uprising under Cassie Lonergan and Tara and Hansen had exceeded 2,000.

"What's next, what do we do next?"

In the conference room of the town hall, Cassie Lonergan and Tara and Hansen, as well as Yarrow Lynch, a worker leader from the Evadron textile mill, and their respective core members, are discussing the next steps. Evadron's power came so easily that several leaders were a little blind for a while.

"Consolidate the regime and get more weapons", Cassie Lonergan is the most knowledgeable of these people here, "Now we only temporarily take control of the city, but you don't have enough weapons, and when the news of our uprising spreads, there will definitely be enemies coming to surround us." That's when we win. ”

"I think we need more food and money," Yarrow Lynch said, "and now that everyone is revolting, they will definitely not be workers." We need to train, to be an army. That would require a source of food and economic security. I think that today we can control the grain stores, granaries and banks in the city, and we can continue to work only if we have food to eat and money to use. ”

"Makes sense," Cassie Lonergan nodded, "it should take a little time from the time the news gets out until the enemy kills him." I agree with Yarrow Lynch that it is a priority to find enough food and money for these two days. ”

"If you have food, you have to control the grain stores," Tara and Hansen advised, "and as for the money, the banks must control it." And then those capitalists in the city, what to do? ”

"Arrest them all, and then strip them of their property! Under communist society, there are no capitalists! Their money is earned by exploiting us, so they will naturally return it to us! ”

Cassie Lonergan's proposal was well received. The comrades continued to discuss for a while and completed the division of labor. The foundry workers were in charge of the West Side, and the workers of the Textile Mills were in charge of the East City, and they were going to clean up all the capitalists in the city and raise enough money and food for the post-communist movement.

The meeting on the future was in full swing until the wee hours of the morning, and by the time Cassie Lonergan and his companions walked out of the town hall, the sky was already dark blue. After a night of turmoil, this small border town that has been quiet for a long time has finally started a new day.
