"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, get out of the way! We don't want to hurt you! ”

There were cries of approval in the rainy night, wanting Arthur to leave and not meddle in tonight's affairs.

Everyone knew that the Scotland Yard police were on their way, but they couldn't get to the fire, and by the time they arrived at the scene, the irrational crowd had already rushed into the rich man's house.

As for the witcher.

Yes, they lurk in the shadows, take in everything, but they will not appear, let alone stop the crowd.

They belong to the church, they are the sword of the church, and the sword of the church cannot be pointed at the people.

Because the three goddesses of fate are gods of faith.

As Ubrey I had long been warned, the Church must not meddle in Kingdom affairs.

In this case, no church members intervened from beginning to end. Mavi is an exception.

He is not only a member of the Church, but also a member of the Kingdom Council, and as long as he does not represent the Church, there is no problem.

"I understand your needs and understand your original intentions, but have you ever thought that reckless behavior will not change the status quo, but will make the situation more serious!"

Facing the crowd, Arthur shouted as best he could, so that those behind him could also hear him.

"We have nothing left to lose!" Someone yelled.

"You still have life! You still have family! This is what you have! ”

Arthur exclaimed, "Today, you rush into the villa behind me, and you can only get temporary pleasure!" After the night, everything is still the same as before! And what happens if you lose your family? ”

"If you want to get back what you have lost, you can't blindly rely on violence! We have other better options now! ”

The crowd seemed to be a little moved, bustling, and suddenly someone asked, "What choice do we have?" ”

"If you read the newspapers, you must have known that I founded the Labour Party, and the Labour Party is a party to defend the rights and interests of workers! Just appeal to the Labour Party and we will fight for you in Parliament! A few days ago, I asked the Labor Representative Council to consult the workers' opinions and needs, and you said you don't have an opinion, don't you? ”

"Nonsense! No one asked us for our opinion at all! ”

As he spoke, there was a dense sound of footsteps at the end of the street, and the Scotland Yard policemen in leather boots and batons arrived at the scene, blocking the rich man's mansion and staring warily at the crowd.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Your Highness, it is dangerous here, please retreat first."

Director Frank came to Arthur's side, wanting to cover his retreat: "You did a good job, we'll deal with this mob." ”

"Mobs? What mob? ”

"Civilians who are trying to start a riot" Director Frank looked at Arthur suspiciously: "Your Highness, aren't they just a mob of people who are trying to harm innocents?" ”

"I didn't see any mobs."

Arthur shook his head and asked loudly, "You said they were trying to start a riot, I want to ask you, Chief Frank, who did they hurt?" What did they destroy? Is it also illegal to enjoy the baptism of rain? ”

Who are you?

Director Frank is full of question marks, he is here to suppress the riot, and it is also his duty to protect the fourth prince, but how do you feel

Is the fourth prince refuting him?

Listening to Arthur's questioning, Director Frank was unable to give a specific charge.

After all

These so-called mobs, still doing nothing.

As for the weapons, it's even more ridiculous, the weapons in the hands of these mobs are simply picked up from the side of the road, some are stones, some are kitchen knives, some are wooden sticks, all sorts of things, compared to the guns in the hands of the police, they are nothing at all.

At most, they were arrested on charges of 'unlawful assembly'.

Seeing that the director Frank could not answer his question, Arthur turned to the crowd and said: "Everyone, please go back first, I will send someone to bring you blankets and hot soup later, and they will also guide you to the nearest orphanage to rest, and the Labor Party will definitely give you an answer!" ”

When the police arrived at the scene, coupled with Arthur's persuasion, the anger burning in the hearts of the chilled people gradually dissipated and began to retreat.

Seeing this scene, Director Frank's hanging heart also relaxed, and pressed his hand to signal the police behind him to put down their guns and weapons.

As the director, Frank is no fool.

He clearly knows that the contradictions that can be eased must not be intensified.

If a shooting is fired tonight and there are casualties, it is a serious violent incident.

contrarily

A peaceful solution would be a happy one.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, if it weren't for you tonight, the situation would definitely have developed to the point of being uncontrollable."

Frank stepped forward to express his gratitude, but was interrupted by Arthur: "Director Frank, in the next few days, I will have several meetings, and the official application will be submitted tomorrow morning, please pass it." ”

"Ahh

When Arthur got into the carriage and left, he did not see the carriage that Mavi was riding, and soon after the crowd dispersed, Mavi quietly left.

The next day, the rain passed, and the sky cleared.

After a night and the skies were destitute, early in the morning, Arthur and a few Labour MPs went to the railway union headquarters near King's Cross station to meet with the president, Rabiot Crisp.

The sudden arrival of the fourth prince caught Rabiot off guard, and he hurriedly went out with a few union members to greet him, but Arthur didn't talk nonsense to him, let him get in the carriage, and led him to King's Cross station.

In the backstage of the station, the workers were working hard to carry the goods, and when they heard the noise behind them, they couldn't help but turn around.

Arthur walked in front with several Knights of the Round Table, including Sean Rickman, that is, Labour MPs, and President Rabiot followed behind, his pale face was like white paper, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he walked with his waist bent, like an old man in his twilight.

Choosing an open place, Arthur stood still, and rang the bell hanging under the eaves, which was an emergency bell, which would only be sounded in special circumstances, and the railroad workers, who thought that there had been an accident, rushed to Arthur and looked blankly with their companions.

"Before I start."

Arthur glanced at Rabiot, "Your Excellency, do you have anything to say?" ”

"I, I."

Rabiot shuddered, not only afraid, but also weak-hearted.

"Rabio Crisp, I've heard of you."

Arthur suddenly said, "Who doesn't know the famous President Rabiot?" In the most difficult period for the railway union, it was Rabiot Crisp who led the way out of the difficult situation. ”

Waving his hand at the workers looking down, Arthur's tone became stern: "You are their leader!" They trust you! The result? You betrayed them! ”

"You were the one who led them to the light, but now, you want them to fall back into the darkness!"

Rabiot's body shook, and he suddenly remembered the memory of more than ten years ago, when he dared to face the gaze of many workers, because he was dignified, and now, the gaze of the workers seemed to turn into a hot flame, almost burning him to ashes.

The workers also noticed that President Rabiot had changed, that he had grown old and haggard, and that his eyes were no longer as determined as they had been, but that he had cowered like a rat-man who feared the light.

They don't know what's going on.

Arthur did not give Rabiot a chance to repent, he should have repented, but forgiveness and forgiveness were the worker's business.

"Rabiot Crisp, he"

In front of the railroad workers, Arthur recounted Rabiot's deception and falsification of the poll form, and after a brief silence, the workers erupted in angry invective.

Many of them had been displaced by high rents and had to live in workhouses, separated from their wives and children, which could have been avoided if Rabiot had not falsified the poll form.

The enraged workers threw stones at President Rabiot, one of which hit the horn of his forehead, tearing a wound and causing blood to flow.

Seeing this, Arthur hurriedly asked Rabiot to be taken down, Rabiot was at fault, but he couldn't let him bear the consequences alone.

"Everyone! President Rabio A. Crisp was once your leader, but now he is helping the enemy persecute you! You should be angry! Because you've been treated unfairly! Your efforts are not proportional to your returns! ”

Amid the shouts of the workers, Arthur opened his arms and shouted with all his strength, "Who stole your money?" Who corrupted the otherwise great President Rabio Crisp? Who wants to enslave you?! ”

"Take back what belongs to us!" Workers brandished iron tools and shouted.

"No!"

Just as the workers were about to rush out of the station and start a riot, Arthur once again stood in front of them: "Rush out now, you are the mob!" Never be able to change the status quo! And as long as you follow the orders of the Labour Party, you will definitely get the results you want! ”

Under the watchful eye of the workers, Arthur exclaimed:

"Obey our commands and strike!"

The railroad workers took off their hats, threw away their tools, and lined up to walk out of the station under the strange gaze of the passengers.

They went on strike, and not in the form of riots.

Railway workers took the lead in the strike, and in the afternoon of the same day, coal mines, docks, factories. The trade unions responded by electing a new president and joining the strike.

For a time, London's huge machine came to a standstill.

The only industry that hasn't stopped is probably newspapers.

Countless newspapers are working overtime to print, and the boss would rather increase money to catch up with this wave of heat, this is the largest strike wave in history!

And the initiators.

It turned out to be the Labor Party that had only been established for less than half a month by the fourth prince!

In the grocery store, Ma Wei chewed mint leaves and looked at the latest issue of the newspaper, because of the special situation, the newspaper in the last two days is not a morning and a night, but the latest news will be published immediately, and people who follow this matter will buy it one after another.

Yunia sat next to her, looking at the news in the newspaper, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, is a bloodless revolution a good revolution?" ”

"Arthur wants to evolve peacefully, and the idea is good, but it is a pity that he underestimates the ambitions of the nobility and capital." "We must admit that the productive forces grow wildly and frantically under the capitalist system, and that the ambition of the capitalist system is required to realize the ideal of material abundance, but capital must be under control," Ma Wei said. ”

"The revolution of compromise with capital will one day be counterattacked by capital, and peaceful evolution is not to share the world with capital, but to completely control capital, even so, we must always be vigilant against the wolf of capital."

"To control capital, we must use more powerful weapons."

Yunia was curious: "What weapon?" ”

Touching his daughter's head, Ma Wei smiled and said, "Religion." ”

"The essence of capital is thought, it is not single, it has pluralism, the source comes from the deep desire of the heart, it is almost impossible to eradicate it, it can only be suppressed, and to suppress desire, the best way is to fight poison with poison, and use thought to fight desire."

Speaking of this, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "However, the original intention of the establishment of the Truth Church is not to suppress any capital, but to let the people live a better life, that's all, no matter what happens, we must not forget our hearts." ”

"If the people live happier under the capitalist system, then I don't think any truth matters, the happiness of the people is the first, you can't put the cart before the horse, the truth for the sake of the truth."

Yunia's eyes gradually lit up: "Dad, you can't be truthful for the sake of truth, this seems to be truth." ”

"Maybe." Ma Wei said in a soft tone: "A country has a country's national conditions, Arthur wants to implement peaceful evolution, this is a bold attempt, I support him, even if he fails, we still have to do it." ”

"Practice!" Yunia said.

"Yes, this is Arthur's practice of truth, and I hope he will pass the test."

News of the strike soon affected people's daily lives.

Without the railway, intercity traffic seemed to be cut off all at once, and the once lively wharf was now even more lively, with countless ships waiting to enter the port crowded into the river, unable to find workers to help.

Even the workers who dispose of the manure went on strike, and within two days there was a strong stench in the streets, the gas lamps would never turn on at night, the shops were out of stock, a large number of supplies were blocked out of the city and no one was transported, and soon bread began to run short.

There were very few industries that were not affected, and Manstein Potions was one of them, and no workers were involved in the strike, because Mavi had set them a wage that was enough to pay their rent and live with meat for three meals a day.

They don't have any reason to strike.

After another two days, the situation intensified, the second prince could no longer sit still, and in just a few days, the factory under the name of the Liberal Party suffered serious losses!

The consequences of a one-day shutdown of the railroad were too severe, and everyone held their breath and waited for a chance to vent.

That's when it happened

Arthur's Labour Party applied to Congress for an emergency session.

The application submitted in the morning was passed in the morning, as if everyone was waiting for Arthur to make a statement and give notice of the meeting, and in the afternoon of the same day, the members of the upper and lower houses rushed to the conference hall, all solemn, waiting for Arthur's arrival.
