Chapter 66: Countermeasures
Master Lermi and his party left, but the atmosphere in the Vienna Comic Society was bleak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Most of the painters put down their pens, their eyes were blank, and many of them even wept bitterly, which suddenly made heavy sadness and despair spread in the comic club.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Ang's face was speechless.
What is this bearded thing? How can he have more power than me, the president? Opening and closing his mouth is closing the door, burning books, and those who don't know think that he opened this comic club.
And these painters, the labor and management spend a lot of money to invite you to paint, and when this bearded man comes, he stops writing one by one, and kneels down and kowtows, begging him to raise his noble hand like a debtor? Do you still have any professional ethics?
And this bearded man, with no one in his eyes, comes when he wants, leaves when he wants, and makes a lot of nonsense, asking the comic club to close, demanding an apology from labor and management, plagiarizing my ideas, and drawing what bullshit Charlemagne? If it weren't for the fact that there are many people in the comic club, labor and management would have drawn their knives and cut you a long time ago!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ang clapped his hands a few times, mobilized his internal force again, and gave an order in a loud voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?
Zhang Ang's voice was very loud and clear, and under the urging of internal forces, it instantly spread throughout the audience and into everyone's ears.
But unexpectedly, not many people picked up the pen, and no one continued to paint, but many people began to pack up the table and prepare to get up and leave.
What's the situation? The boss doesn't listen to what he says? Labor and management are really raising you for nothing!
Zhang Ang was about to get angry, but was stopped by Adolf, he waved his hand, and announced in a calm tone: "That's all for today's work, you can go back first, we will notify you separately about the follow-up work arrangements, you can go to the intersection of Art Street to check the notice we posted." Okay, everyone can go. ā
After that, he completely opened the sliding iron door of the comic club, looking like he was at his own convenience.
As if pardoned, hundreds of painters hurriedly arranged the things on the table and headed for the door. Most people look like they can't escape, but some will turn around and bow respectfully to Zhang Ang or Adolf before leaving.
Adolf didn't mention how today's wages were to be settled, and none of the painters raised the question until they were all gone.
After a short time, the originally huge and lively Vienna Comics Club became empty, and only Zhang Ang, Adolf and the four leaders of each group were left in the entire comic club, a total of six people.
Waving his hand again, Adolf said to the four team leaders: "Forget it, you can go back too, and I will inform you if there is any situation in the future." ā
The four ministers left slowly, their eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia for the comic club. Before leaving, each of them saluted Zhang Ang and said a few words of comfort:
"Alas, things have turned out to be the way they are...... I don't know what to say, but I promise that if there is anything that the two gentlemen need me to do in the future, I will not be able to say anything!"
"This Master Lermi, this art academy, is really too domineering! It doesn't leave us a way out at all! Two gentlemen, I have a fortitude, this Vienna comic book club can't be opened, but we can go to other places! Go to a remote town, or go directly to the countryside! Reopen the comic book club! As long as we do a good job of keeping secrets..... this is the leader of the line drawing team who made suggestions.
"These days in the comic club are the happiest times I have had in the past ten years, I treat the comic club as a writer! as my own child! But now, the comic club is about to disappear, and my heart ...... "This is the leader of the refinement team who began to choke."
"Alas, I don't know what to say, but I have always seen the efforts of the two gentlemen, the support and help of our poor artists in the art street! Both gentlemen are noble people! I won't say much, I, Strauss, am a bit thin among the musicians of the art street, and if the two gentlemen have any difficulties in the future, we will definitely help us who make music!" This is the leader of the binding and sales team who made a serious promise.
......
The four of them left one after another, and only Zhang Ang and Adolf were left in the comic club.
"Why are you stopping me?" Zhang Ang's tone was a little dissatisfied: "What kind of thing is this Master Lermy? He said that he was just closed? He also dismissed everyone, what does he mean?"
"Maestro Lermi is one of the two directors of the painting department of the Vienna Academy of Arts, and is now the ...... of the whole continent," Adolf began.
"So what?" Zhang Ang laughed instead: "This comic club is privately run by us, no matter how famous and powerful he is in the painting world, what does it have to do with us? What do you have to fear of him? Have you forgotten that you are no longer the little painter who pursues art! You are now the leader of the German National Socialist Party! This Vienna comic book club is not set up for the purpose of engaging in any kind of art! It is for the purpose of preparing for a propaganda offensive!"
"I understand what you mean!" Adolf emphasized: "It's not that I don't know my own position! Like that Master Lermy, although he is famous in the way of painting, his own strength is just a big middle, and he still holds a great academic master who has not gone through actual combat, and we can easily crush him to death with any one of us!"
He continued, explaining, "But you have to understand that it's easy to kill him, and it's not difficult to find the right time to be silent and leave no traces. But the aftermath is a big problem! You heard what he said, what he looked down on was our painting skills, our depth of the story, not the comics themselves! He even liked the new form of pictorial expression of comics! He did not give up his selfish interests, but pursued the perfect art of painting in his mind!"
"If there is one such person, there will be a second! There are many people in Vienna who are arrogant and look down on the low-level painters, and look down on the master painters of this comic book we have produced! It's just that these people don't have such a powerful position as Master Lermi. ā
"And you also know that now the Grand Duke Louisa and the French Sufi General have been trying to win over the two academies. If you continue to hardcap, that Master Lermi doesn't even need to take action himself, just a little bit of a word, and immediately the French army will help him to close down our little comic club! Of course, it's the same to kill him! Even if we do it cleanly, they can't find any clues, and the first one to suspect is us! You know, France has a martial saint in Vienna! We can escape once It's already a fluke!"
"Then you mean that's it, the comic club is closed, the comic book is closed, the comic book is gone, and the public opinion war is no longer fought?" Zhang Ang's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
"Of course, we can't just leave it at that! This public opinion war must also be fought! If we want to break the situation now, there are only two ways! Or, we will move to other cities, the original Vienna, rebuild the comic club, and continue to produce comic books, but this recruitment will be more troublesome. Adolf said slowly: "Or, we will completely defeat this master of Lermi artistically, so that he will no longer be our resistance!
"Oh?" Zhang Ang's tone softened and asked, "Then you say, how?"
