Kathy? Lonagan climbed up the high platform of four crates stacked on top of each other and looked at the workers in the audience. He'd been to Karber before? The whole process of Luya being taken away was also the most appealing worker on the scene at that time and the worker with the deepest understanding of communism. In his mind, capitalists will not succumb so easily.

"Hey, Lonergan! Why did you call us over? You'll have to go to work later! ”

Someone from the crowd shouted at Cassie, who rubbed his ears and picked up a tin microphone, "Brothers! Dear workers! We're starting work now, has Master Rand fulfilled everything he promised us? ”

"Yes!"

"Now it's just 10 hours a day! You can leave work at seven o'clock! ”

"yes, I don't know if it's really workers' compensation, but we have a contract!"

The people below were gossiping, and Cassie shouted two words loudly, regaining everyone's attention, "Everyone, brothers! Can we have the current treatment, is it all Kaber? The secretary of the Luya trade union won it for us! And Patrick? Deputy Secretary of Gahan! Over the past few months, they have slept late many times at night to help us get the results we want! I still have to work during the day! At the beginning of the strike, the factory guards who looked down on people beat two secretaries with sticks! Don't you remember any of these things? ”

"How could you not remember! Secretary Luya and Deputy Secretary Gahan are our benefactors! ”

"Yes!"

"But aren't they at the police station?"

"Little Rand said that he will treat them well!"

The people below began to talk again, and Cassie slapped his hand on the horn and shouted, "Shall we believe what Rand says?" What if he lied to us? What if he beats our secretary and deputy secretary every day? Can we let this happen? ”

"No......"

"Young Master Rand is that kind of person?"

"It's hard to say......

People are talking again, and opinions and attitudes are not consistent. Kathy? After a lot of words, Lonagan finally moved everyone to go directly to the police station later, and make sure to see their secretary and make sure they were safe.

Although the workers' perception of Rand Jr. has changed, they are still very united in action. They kept a minimum of manpower in the factory to ensure that the machines and equipment could continue to produce with minimal efficiency, and the rest of the people were holding the guys, and Cassie? Together, Lonagan rushed to the police station.

The police station was ready when they were about to arrive, and when these people surrounded the police station, the police chief, a pot-bellied old man with a beard, stood in front of hundreds of workers with a smile, patting his belly and talking.

"We will not treat your union secretary badly! Cobb? Luya is in our solitary cell, my old McDwalker, when have you ever joked about my own name! ”

"We don't believe it! We're going to see Secretary Luya! We're going to see Secretary Patrick! We want to make sure that our comrades are safe!!! ”

Workers in Cassie? Lonergan's leadership roared around the police station. Police Chief Liam? McDwalker couldn't see it, so he discussed with the workers and let Cassie go? Four people, including Lonergan, entered the police station. After a few people waited for a while, they were taken to a simple reception room, separated by a half-wall and an iron fence in the middle of the small house. Luya was sitting on the other side of the fence with a smile on her face as she looked at her companions.

"You finally remembered to come and see me, is it easy?" Cobb? Luya was dressed in a white prison uniform and had a somewhat long beard on her face. Other than that, he has a good complexion.

"We're worried about you", Cassie? Lonergan got straight to the point, "Rand Jr. agreed to our request, the workers worked shorter hours, two days off a month, and workers' compensation was also available, all of which would not have been possible without you and Secretary Patrick, and we really appreciate you." ”

"Okay, they're all bitter workers, what's there to thank you for", Kaber? Luya approached the fence and lowered his voice, "I'm worried that after this batch of orders is completed, Little Rand will change his hexagram, you should be careful to keep an eye on him, if he does, he will strike again!" Let him raise his salary! This time he must be forced to agree to our conditions! ”

Lonergan nodded, and instead asked, "Are you okay with Secretary Patrick?" Did they hit you? ”

"No, we both live in a cell, and the police chief surnamed McDwalker said that when you finish producing this order, you will let us out. It's okay here, I don't have to go to work and I'm not tired, but the food is worse, to be honest, pigs and dogs are not as good. ”

"It's okay for you guys to be fine, there's nothing going on in our factory, and Rand Jrand has replaced the original two overseers......"

Lonergan also approached the fence and began to report on the latest developments in the factory. Luya listened attentively, exchanging opinions with Lonagan from time to time about what he was not sure about, and the two of them were in the small meeting room, but they felt like they were back in the office used as the dormitory, and the conversation was serious and engaging.

————————

Two weeks later, two sturdy police officers showed up in the early evening. Lua and Patrick? Jahan's cell.

"Alright, you can go."

Although he spoke in a cold tone and did not have a hint of enthusiasm on his face, in any case, this was the end of Luya's first journey to prison. He and Patrick looked at each other and stood up in their prison uniforms.

"Reach out!" , the policeman standing on the left was not angry.

"Aren't we going out? Why handcuffs? Karber guessed their intentions and asked.

"Why do you ask so much! Want to go out? The slightly chubby policeman on the left spoke more harshly, and the policeman on the right took out the handcuffs and shook them in his hands.

"We're going out, let's not get into trouble," Patrick said, holding out his hand first, Kaber? Luya snorted and had the two of them handcuff themselves.

After the handcuffs were done, nothing happened, and they followed the two policemen out and into a carriage. The windows of the carriage were small, sealed, and the iron fence was welded. Two policemen, two workers, and a coachman, a group of five people swayed along the road in front of the police station and began to move forward.

About half an hour away, Kaber? Luya sensed something was wrong, it wouldn't take so long to get from the police station to the factory, he turned his head sideways and exchanged glances with Patrick, and found that Patrick's expression was also a little anxious.

"Two officers, are we already at the factory?" Luya asked, with caution in his tone.

"Mr. Rand wants to see you." The slightly chubby policeman replied quickly, his expression still cold. Cobb? Luya paused, hesitated for a moment and did not speak. I don't know what Mr. Rand wants to do, do you want to continue to negotiate with yourself? Or do you want to buy yourself?

The carriage had been gone for another half hour, and Lua felt that the feeling of the wheels touching the ground had changed from slate to dirt, and that Mr. Rand was going to take himself and Pyquek to the villa on the outskirts of Verndingen? Is it that good?

Luya looked at the expressions of the two policemen and saw that they were still cold. He thought about it, and just as he was about to ask, he felt a jolt in the carriage and stopped.

"It's here, get off."

The two policemen opened the carriage door, the fat policeman went down first, and the skinny policeman stared at Patrick and Lua before they followed. Outside the car door was a wasteland, and there was a river not far away.

"Not good! Come on!!!!! ”

As soon as she saw the environment, Luya knew that something was going to happen today. Although he never joined a gang organization and did not do anything criminal, he did not fight on the streets when he was a child. As soon as he saw this posture, he knew that this time it was estimated that there would be more luck than lucky. As soon as he shouted his judgment, he began to run. He didn't even have time to glance sideways at Patrick.

Because of the handcuffs, and the ground of the wasteland is potholed, and some of them are particularly soft, Luya is not very fast. His hands were handcuffed, and as he moved, his shoes ran away at the beginning, and his feet stepped directly on the mud, broken grass stubble and small stones, and his feet hurt. He could hear Patrick behind him, shouting something out of his mouth, and Luya's heart was beating too hard for him to hear.

"Bang-"

A familiar gunshot was followed by a hissing exhaust sound after a steam rifle shot. Luya had seen people play with steam rifles, and he knew what it was.

The moment he heard the gunshot, Luya's body paused, and at that moment, he thought he was going to die. But in the blink of an eye, a groan came from Patrick behind him.

Didn't hit myself.

"Run! Don't stop!!!! ”

The steam rifle could only shoot one round at a time, after which it had to be reloaded, and Kaber and Patrick still had time, and their goal was the river, the Atago, the great river that flowed through the whole of the northern part of the Ferndingen Republic, like a jade belt, around Ferndingen, and bound the city to the rest of the city.

"Click-"

"Running around the !!!!"

Kaber shouted desperately, and the air of early summer poured into his lungs with his breath, carrying with it the vapor and fragrance characteristic of the wasteland. Just as he shouted, Kaber writhed from side to side across the wasteland, his waist bent, his cuffed hands hanging over his chest, trying to make it harder for his opponent to aim at him. He could feel the sound of breathing behind him that Patrick was doing the same thing as himself.

"Bang-"

"Hiss-"

Another shot rang out, and Kaber turned his corner of the eye to look at Patrick, the companion who had been walking side by side with him struggling to run. Kaber glanced at his body quickly, but saw no wounds.

"Run, !!!!!"

"Bang-"

"Hiss-"

This time the gunfire was more intense, and the other side had more than one gun! Realizing this fact, Kaber felt that he was going to die, they were still three hundred meters away from the damn river, and they would definitely not be able to run like this. Either way, Karber? Luya would not give up hope, he thought of Huni in this moment? Havari's sentence in On Capital.

"The capitalists never give in to the workers, they just find a better way to resist the resistance of the workers and grab more surplus value."

Is this the way to kill us?

Caber was still running, and two more steam rifle shots were heard behind him, but for some reason, he always felt that the two shots were not aimed at him. He continued to run, using all his strength, breathing in the scorching air and feeling the pounding of his heart in his chest. At this moment, he never felt how much he wanted to live.

The three hundred meters, which seemed to be incomparably long just now, were miraculously rushed to the end by Kaber, and he stopped in disbelief, and subconsciously turned back, but just happened to see Patrick? Gahan's back. The co-worker who had been with him all the way had stopped at some point, and he turned his back to Kaber, facing the carriage and the two policemen with steam backpacks, and made a gesture of rushing towards them!

"Patrick !!!!!!!"

Cobb? Luya was aware of what had happened, but he had preferred it hadn't happened. He roared, watching Patrick look back at him before falling, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

Cobb? Luya took one last look at the two policemen in the distance, turned around, jumped into the still chilly water.

——————————

The day after the order from the Ministry of Railways was completed, the new overseer called all the workers at the Ferndingen plant together after work. Kathy? Lorna is thinking about finding Kaber, who should leave the police station? Lua and Patrick? He sweated, but he always felt that the two overseers had a problem today, and hesitated to go back and forth, but after all, they stayed in the factory. He wanted to see what the two men were up to.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your cooperation during this time, we have successfully completed the order of the Ministry of Railways, and a total of 32 RAND-IV steam locomotives have been handed over to the Ministry of Railways, which is inseparable from everyone's hard work!"

The workers gathered below burst into sparse applause, and the two overseers were so harsh on everyone that no one paid any attention to them.

"One more thing, I'm here to inform everyone", the tallest one among the overseers was holding a tin horn in his hand, "the new employment contract signed by the company with you, because you have not gone to the company to stamp, from now on, it will be invalid!" ”

"What!"

"Aren't you lying?"

"Fuck you guys are bullies when we, aren't they?"

"Hit him !!!"

"We're going to strike!!"

"You didn't say you wanted to stamp it at the time!!!"

The workers were agitated and noisy, and a group of thugs dressed in civilian clothes and holding short sticks poured in from outside the factory gate at some point. Some of the workers saw these people, and everyone began to look for tools and weapons, and everyone was ready for a fight. Lonagan was shoved and swayed in the crowd, and he struggled to hold his body until he saw the overseer clap the tin horn in his hand again.

"Also, the RAND Corporation has transferred the follow-up production tasks to the Lanabi factory! Our factory will be suspended from tomorrow!! ”
