The demonstrations continued into the afternoon.

Most of the members of the "anti-strike coalition", including Eugene, were beaten, and only the mayor escaped because of his old age and infirmity

Hawley stepped in.

He was afraid that the workers or the police would really beat the old mayor to death.

But not being beaten doesn't mean the police will give him a good look.

The old mayor was locked into the room by a group of policemen.

One of them got a rattlesnake out of nowhere and threw it into the room.

The poor mayor spent an afternoon in the same room with the rattlesnake.

But fortunately, the rattlesnake did not have much interest in the mayor, and the old man was spared.

By the time he was released, the three souls had already gone to the two souls.

With the escalation of the demonstrations, there were already calls in the Knights of Labor to storm the city hall.

They intend to reorganize San Francisco's city government organization and elect Hawley as the new mayor.

But the blonde young man at this time was calm.

A seizure of power without a sound program and without full preparation lacks sufficient strength.

As soon as things turn in the direction of the Paris Commune, then he and the Knights of Labor, as well as all those who participated in this march, will be doomed.

Because, the governor must have gone to shake people again.

This time, I'm afraid it's not just the militia, maybe the federal army.

The governor did send a telegram to Washington.

President Cleveland was in a state of panic because strikes were taking place in all corners of the country.

He ordered Colonel Nelson Myers, who had succeeded Crook, to lead his troops to San Francisco to settle the matter.

Try not to make a big deal or you'll be laughed at by the Republicans.

Colonel Miles, after receiving the order, boarded the train with his troops and set off without saying a word.

When the Union troops appeared in San Francisco, they were surprised to find that the city did not have the tense atmosphere they had imagined.

The strikes are still going on, and society is still at a standstill.

Workers' pickets maintain order on the road, replacing the work of the police.

Because, the police are also on strike.

Inspired by the Knights of Labor, they also demanded higher salaries and shorter working hours.

After all, in 19th-century San Francisco, police was also an extremely risky profession.

After the mayor completely lost his prestige, the city council convened an emergency meeting.

It has been suggested that the matter should be resolved through consultation with the workers and that the actions of the management be regulated at the legislative level.

Opponents scoff at this, arguing that this is a matter between labor and management, and has nothing to do with the government, and that it is an interference in the market, which is unreasonable and unscientific.

Anyway, the army is coming, and the demonstrators can't make any waves.

The two sides quarreled.

Colonel Myers did not participate in such a meeting, and he adhered to the principle that he would not interfere in the affairs of the state, but only brought the troops under martial law.

The government is still quarrelling, but some people can't hold it anymore.

Eugene DuPont was heartbroken and frightened.

At that time, if he hadn't desperately protected his head, and later lowered his head and pretended to be dead, he would have died a long time ago.

He now dreams every day that workers sneak into the dynamite factory to wreak havoc and blow it up with him.

DuPont's lawyers advised him to sue the workers who beat him.

But the problem is that now the police are also out of work.

Even if the court is willing to hold a trial, then who will investigate and who will arrest people?

After thinking twice.

Eugene DuPont made a decision that went against his ancestors.

He intended to sell the California Explosives Factory.

If Henry Dupont had known the news, he would have crawled out of the coffin and strangled Eugene.

After all, he took a lot of effort to get the shares of this explosives factory.

But Eugene doesn't care so much.

He planned to sell the explosives factory to Chen Jianqiu, and then return to Delaware himself to honestly make his black powder in the eastern states.

He surrendered!

His uncle Henry DuPont is such an outstanding person who has not been able to fight this Boss Chen, how can he be his opponent?

After making an appointment with Chen Jianqiu several times, the two finally met.

Chen Jianqiu's forehead was still covered with gauze.

"Boss Chen, are you injured too?" Eugene looked at the gauze and said a little speechlessly.

Although he thought that Chen Jianqiu had gone to the wall alone and didn't save him before, Eugene was furious.

However, he didn't dare to get angry at Chen Jianqiu.

So he could only comfort himself:

If I had been the one standing on the wall at that time, I would not have saved anyone.

"No, those workers are so ruthless." Chen Jianqiu touched his head, then tilted his head to look at Eugene, "But you seem to be much more serious than me." ”

Eugene's forearm was broken and is now being clipped with a splint and hung around his neck with a bandage.

The two quickly got to the point.

Regarding Eugene's acquisition offer, Chen Jianqiu readily agreed.

Makqin is now selling out of stock in Europe, and he is not short of money now.

"Boss Chen, DuPont will completely give up its plan to compete with you, and please raise your hand and let DuPont have a way out. That's the work of generations of our DuPont family. ”

Before leaving, Eugene said to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu was noncommittal, just smiled.

After sending Eugene away, Chen Jianqiu tore off the gauze on his forehead.

The gauze was clean, and Chen Jianqiu's forehead did not have any wounds.

Some things are not said to stop, nor are they diverted by his will.

For example, the rise and fall of a company.

DuPont? Hum.

After the acquisition of the California Explosives Factory, like the coal mine in Shiquan Town, Chen Jianqiu was the first to accept the terms of the Labor Knights.

And the reasons given are surprisingly simple.

"I'm scared, can't I? Give more money to the workers, and they will be more motivated, and in the end, they will not make money for me? ”

Facing the businessmen who came to visit, Chen Jianqiu pointed to his head and replied.

If it is said that the traitors among the workers are generally called worker thieves, then Chen Jianqiu is a real "capital thief".

His behavior made the businessmen who were preparing to gather strength and prepare for a lawsuit lose their temper in an instant.

Chen Jianqiu still said the same thing: If you love to do it, you will continue to do it, and if you can't do it anymore, you will sell the factory to me directly.

Just as Chen Jianqiu was conquering the city in California, the California state government was ready to start settling accounts after the autumn.

With the support of the Union Army, the governor was not very afraid of the Knights of Labor to fight by force.

He was eager to arrest all those involved in the demonstrations.

But the facts tell him that it obviously can't.

President Cleveland, as well as the Congress, just hope that things can be resolved quickly and that the problem will not be escalated.

He could only go and catch those who took the lead first.

For example, the young blond-haired leader of the Knights of Labor.
