Cobb? Luya did not expect that the first time he met a foreigner in his life was after he became the chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Union. And the self-proclaimed liaison officer of the Workers' Party of the Republic of Negro? Wilson, except for the fact that Fern speaks something inauthentic, seems to look no different from ordinary people. Him and Cassie? Lonergan, Dane? Nandi and Mariano from Vega Textile Factory? Navas's three vice presidents of the Union Party beckoned the foreign comrade to sit down again on the second floor of 37 Sammuyu Road.

"I wonder what happened when Comrade Wilson came to me this time?"

"I'm here for two things", Matthew? Wilson with a cup of Kaber? "First, congratulations to the United Trade Union Party on its establishment as the first party to officially represent the working class in the Third Republic, but I hope to be able to visit and study in your party for a while, I wonder if I can have this opportunity to learn about the achievements and experience of the working class movement in your country?" ”

"Thank you, thank you very much for your congratulations", although jerky, but Caber? Luya is quickly adjusting to his new role as president of the Coalition of Trade Unions, "It's okay to exchange and learn, our party has just been established, and so far it has only helped the workers of a medium-sized factory to fight for some benefits, and the process is still stumbling." It's not so much that you come to us for experience, but rather that we ask you about the methods of the workers' movement. After all, the workers' movement in the Neglo Republic has been going on for more than a hundred years, and you must have more experience than I do. ”

"Everywhere, the workers of the world are one family, and we can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and exchange what we have, so that we can seek more benefits for the working class, right?"

Liaison Matthew? Wilson seems to be good at this way of communicating. He responded to Kaber with a smile? Luya's kind words began to humbly ask for advice on the struggle experience of the Labour Union. And Kaber? Lua is also rare to meet peers who have a lot of experience in this area. He is equally modest and courteous and Matthew? Wilson expressed the hope that from the experience of the Neglo Republic, he could find his own path for the development of this nascent political party.

Some time after that, Kaber? Luya gained a deeper understanding of the Workers' Party of the Republic of Negro. Similar to the situation of the Coalition of Trade Unions, the Workers' Party of the Neglo Republic was founded because of the then Archmage of the Neglo Republic, Rosaen? Sakharov's support. It was also after its formation that the Workers' Party began to participate in the election of parliamentarians and the presidency. Although up to now, the Workers' Party of the Republic of Negro has only been in the Grand Magister Rothan? Sakharov held power once during his lifetime, but they always maintained their influence in parliament and fought for the rights of the workers. Judging from the current situation in various countries, the working class in the Neglo Republic is relatively the best.

Having learned the experience of the Negro Republic, Kaber? Luya also put her own experiences and feelings with Matthew? Wilson shared. He started as an ordinary worker, talked about his exposure to "On Capital" and communist ideas, talked about how he led the workers to form underground trade unions, then went on strike to demand rights, and then was abandoned after the order of the Ministry of Railways was completed, and so on. Most of these processes have failed, but there are joys similar to the establishment of trade unions, the initial achievement of strike demands, etc. At the same time, by and Matthew? Wilson's opportunity to communicate in depth, and he also raised a question that has been lingering in his mind lately.

"Comrade Wilson, I have a question. Huni? Why is there no mention of the Magister in Master Havare's "On Capital"? What if we can't get the support of the Magi when we push the workers' movement? Is it only with the support of the Magister that the communist movement in a country can truly flourish? ”

"We've studied the question you asked, and we've been studying it for a long time. From Huni? In his book On Capital, Master Havari showed that he was meticulous in his thinking, clear in logic, and never made a low-level mistake. According to common sense, the master's magnum opus should not be ignored by the Magister. You know, the development of the working class and the bourgeoisie over the years? The astonishing consistency of Master Havare's predictions has proved that the master has an accurate grasp and foresight of the law of development of history and objective things. There is no accepted answer to this question among the scholars of our Party, and it is not possible for us to travel to your country to ask why your master Hawari wrote this. ”

If this is the case, is this "On Capital" not finished? Is there still a remnant of Master Havare's manuscript somewhere in this world? ”

"Haha," Wilson laughed twice, "the probability is very low." I think there is a point of view in our party that we can refer to. What do you think, Huni? As a magister, Master Havari must know his power better than anyone else. Under these circumstances, he may not have found a way to advance the workers' movement without the support of the Magist, so he did not talk about how to deal with the Magus in On Capital. I think that from the practical experience of our Labour Party over the past 100 years, this speculation is basically reasonable. ”

"Without the support of the Grand Magister, is it impossible to advance the workers' movement?"

Cobb? Luya muttered to herself, but subconsciously recalled the feeling she felt when she was struck by a psychic shock. It wasn't a lethal magic, but it was easy to see the tip of the iceberg of Magister's power. Even now, sitting on the second floor of Mikiyu No. 37, which is still a little stuffy, Kabo? Luya shuddered subconsciously whenever she thought of the light and the pain that followed.

"But ah, our opinion is also speculation, maybe Huney? It is not necessary that Master Havari has other ideas. For us, since we can have the support of His Excellency the Great Magister, we must certainly be worthy of His Excellency's expectations, make the workers' movement sound and impressive, and seek benefits for more workers. ”

Cobb? Luya nodded and agreed with Matthew? Wilson's opinion. The Flin Third Republic's nascent working-class party, the Union of Trade Unions, is thus linked to the most experienced and successful workers' party of the Negro Republic in the world.

————————

Four days later, Kaber? Lua and Negro Workers' Party Liaison Matthew? Wilson, Cashie, vice president of the Coalition of Trade Unions? Lonergan stood in front of the Rand family's villa on the outskirts of Verdingen. Cobb? It was also the first time for Lua to visit this villa. He thought that the last time he went to Daniel? The mansion where RAND sells patents is luxurious enough. But in front of the Rand family's suburban villa, Carber? Once again, Luya recognized the extravagance and exaggeration of capitalist life.

"Have you thought about it, Chairman?"

Kathy? Lonergan's voice was slightly flustered. During these four days, though, they persuaded the owners of two smaller factories to agree to take more leave for their workers. But when he really turned around and faced the capitalist who had dealt him a huge blow, Cassie? Lonergan was still unconsciously a little timid.

"Come to think of it, we're different this time, it's the archmage Toby standing behind us? Your Excellency Dugal, their Rand family, will not dare to stand up to Your Excellency Dugal. ”

While talking, Kaber? Luya gently straightened the tie around her neck. This week's party chairman, who has become more accustomed to resolving issues through negotiations in formal attire rather than through costly strikes. And judging by the results, his decision is clearly the right one. The membership of the Labour Union has grown to more than 1,000 and counting. Cobb? Luya even arranged for a special person to manage the party members, they built a roster, formulated some temporary rules and regulations, and planned to convene a trade union party congress after the RAND dynamics company was settled.

"A few people, please inside, the lord is waiting for everyone in the reception room."

The polite butler pushed open the door and invited the three to enter. Cobb? Lou Adam comes first, Cassie? Lonergan and Matthew? Wilson then walked into the large, quaint villa of the Rand family. However, whether it is Caber? Luya, or Cassie? Lonergan didn't tell the difference in the title of the housekeeper. So, when they saw an old man with silver hair in the reception room, instead of the prime-haired Daniel? Rand, everyone was slightly stunned.

"Hello, Chairman Kaber, I'm Daniel's grandfather, Conservative Party Chairman Aziva? Rand, we met on the day of the parade, I don't know if you remember? ”

Although he didn't recognize the identity of the old man standing in front of him at first sight, he heard this prompt, Kaber? Lua and Cassie? At the same time, Lonergan remembered the old man and the brief intersection of their lives. On the day of the parade, Kaber? Luya led his worker brothers in the National Square in front of the Great Council, and it was with this Aziva ? Rand had an argument.

"I remember you, and we dare not forget what you taught us at that time."

Cobb? There was a faint sarcasm in Luya's tone, Aziva? Rand heard it, but he didn't mind. This old man is waiting for Kaber? Lua introduced Cassie? Lonergan and Matthew? After Wilson's identity, he beckoned them to sit down and asked the butler to bring the top water stripe star tea. This tea is made by air-drying the seeds of a kind of water streak grass, and when it encounters hot water, it will emit a faint starlight, and it is said that drinking this tea often has the effect of maintaining health and prolonging life, and the price is very expensive.

Cobb? Lua, Cassie? Lonagan was drinking this tea for the first time, and the caring butler gave them a brief introduction and stood behind Aziva. Aziva waited for the three of them to taste the water pattern star tea before slowly speaking.

"Chairman Luya, you are the chairman of the Labour Union Party, I am the chairman of the Conservative Party, and we are equal in status. I also know the purpose of your visit this time, because some time ago, your trade union party persuaded many factory owners to increase their leave for workers, and also gained many party members. I have heard that His Excellency the Grand Magister intends to liberalize the right to vote and remove restrictions on the family assets and nobility of voters, which means that as long as you are a man of the Third Republic, you can participate in voting, which is very beneficial to you. ”

"We are also for the working class to be able to work better, and I believe that you, as factory owners, definitely do not want to see disturbances and strikes in your factories for three days and two days."

Cobb? Luya got into a groove as soon as he started talking, and he emphasized his request with the cup of water pattern star tea that could cover his salary for the past six months.

"Although you said that you know, Chairman Rand, I would like to re-elaborate our thinking to avoid misunderstandings. As far as we know, your company's production capacity has been severely limited after the dismissal of the vast majority of workers at our plant in Ferndingen. The production capacity of the Lanabi and East Airburg plants alone will not be able to meet all of your company's order needs, and the cost of transporting products is much higher than that of the Ferndingen plant. ”

"I'm reluctant to admit it, but I have to say that what you know is the truth."

Aziva is polite, Kaber? Luya was similarly smiling.

"Moreover, steam engine manufacturing is a hot field at the moment, and it is difficult to find proficient or skilled workers in the market, and some of the workers we were fired with you at the beginning have gone to the Fern factory of the Qianma Steam Power Company. If your factory wants to continue to operate at full capacity to compete with the Thousand Horses, then I suggest you recall our workers who have been working hard for the RAND Corporation. We have the technology, we have the skills, and if you can agree to some small requests, we will not use strikes to block you again, what do you think? ”

"That's a good suggestion," said Aziva with his slow nature, "but what exactly do you want?" I don't want to hear requests that we can't afford. ”

"It's simple, before Daniel? Mr. Rand promised us the benefits he had to give, holidays, workers' compensation, and working time limits, and I hope you will do it all. In return, I guarantee that the workers in your factory will work hard and not interfere with the production order, what do you think? ”

Cobb? Luya is now somewhat accustomed to the request. In his experience, in general, these capitalists will compromise. Behind him stood Archmage Toby? Dugall's affair has gradually spread in bourgeois circles.

"I think I can", Aziva? Rand smiled, "Let's do it." ”

"Thank you so much, we will go back and start informing the workers to get ready for work!"

Cobb? When Luya heard that her most important purpose had been accomplished, she got up and thanked her and prepared to leave. He didn't like the Rand family, and he didn't like the Aziva who flatly rejected his request in the first place? Rand. Aziva? Rand didn't mean to leave them, and after a brief goodbye, the group left the huge luxurious building.

"Get the RAND Corporation, we have a base camp, what are you going to do next?" Kathy? Lonagan walking in Carber? Beside Luya, there was obvious happiness on his face.

"What's next? The next step is to prepare for the election, and I want to take advantage of the support of the Great Magister to truly turn our Labour Union Party into a full-fledged party with parliamentary seats! ”
