Chapter 321 Strike(2/2)
For a time, the huge machine in London came to a standstill.
The only industry that has not stopped is probably newspapers.
Countless newspapers are working overtime to print, and the bosses are willing to increase money to catch up with this wave of popularity. This is the largest strike wave in history!
And the initiator...
It was the Fourth Prince who founded the Labor Party less than half a month ago!
In the grocery store, Ma Wei chewed mint leaves and read the latest issue of the newspaper. Due to special circumstances, the newspaper did not have one copy in the morning and one in the evening in the past two days. Instead, it would be published as soon as the latest news was available. People who paid attention to this matter also
Will buy them one after another.
Junia was sitting nearby, reading the news in the newspaper, and couldn't help but said: "Dad, is a bloodless revolution a good revolution?"
"Arthur wanted to carry out peaceful evolution, which was a good idea, but unfortunately he underestimated the ambitions of the nobility and capital." Ma Wei said: "We must admit that the productivity is barbaric and crazy under the capital system. To realize a utopia of material abundance, we need to
The ambitions of the capital system, but capital must be under control.”
"A revolution that compromises with capital will one day be counterattacked by capital. Peaceful evolution is not about sharing the world with capital, but about completely controlling capital. Even so, we must always be wary of capital, the wolf that gnaws at our hearts."
"To control capital, we must use more powerful weapons..."
Yunia asked curiously: "What weapon?"
After touching his daughter's head, Ma Wei smiled and said, "Religion."
"The essence of capital is thought. It is not single, but diverse. The source comes from the desire deep in the heart. It is almost impossible to eradicate it and can only be suppressed. The best way to suppress desire is to fight fire with poison and use thoughts.
Fight desire.”
Having said this, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "However, the original intention of the establishment of the Truth Church was 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 original intention."
"If the people live happier lives under the capital system, then I think any truth will not matter. The people's happiness is the first priority. We cannot put the cart before the horse and seek truth for the sake of truth."
Yunia's eyes gradually lit up: "Dad, you can't give truth for the sake of truth. This seems to be the truth."
"Maybe." Ma Wei said in a soft tone: "A country has its own national conditions. Arthur wants to implement peaceful evolution. This is a bold attempt. I support him. Even if he fails, we will keep it safe."
"Practice!" said Yunia.
"Yes, this is Arthur's practice of truth. I hope he can pass the test."
News of the strike quickly affected people's daily lives.
Without the railway, intercity traffic seemed to have been cut off. The originally bustling docks were now even more lively. Countless ships waiting to enter the port were crowded in the river, and no workers could be found to help.
Even the workers who deal with excrement went on strike. Within two days, a strong stench emitted from the streets. The gas lights would no longer come on at night. Shops were out of stock. A large amount of supplies were blocked in the city.
There was no one outside for transportation, and bread soon began to be in short supply...
There are very few industries that have not been affected. The Manstein Potion Company is one of them. No workers participated in this strike because the salary standards set by Mawei for them are enough to allow them to pay the rent and live with three meals a day.
A life of meat.
They have no reason to strike.
Two days later, the situation intensified. The second prince could no longer sit still. In just a few days, the factory owned by the Liberal Party suffered serious losses!
The consequences of a one-day railway outage were too serious. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting for the opportunity to vent.
at this time...
Arthur's Labor Party applied to Congress to convene an emergency session.
Chapter completed!
