Ma Wei asked: "After the establishment of the workers' alliance, the fourth prince has been able to control the workers in the southern part of the kingdom. Once a general strike is carried out, the damage caused will be immeasurable. By then... maybe the church will also intervene."

The corners of the Second Prince's mouth twitched slightly. Of course he knew the consequences of a general strike. Once it happened, he didn't know what to do.

The last strike was limited to the London area. Even so, it paralyzed the city and affected the lives of millions of people. This time, if workers throughout the southern part of the kingdom go on strike...

I'm afraid the church really can't sit still.

"Didn't the big...big strike not happen?" The second prince muttered, "I don't believe it. Arthur dares to do it again..."

Ma Wei, who saw the inner quarrel between the second prince and his fierceness, smiled and stood up to leave without saying anything more.

The next day, the factory foremen blew the whistle, and the second round of the general strike began.

This round of strikes was faster, more determined, and more organized than the last one. The moment the foreman blew his whistle, the workers threw away their tools, closed the valves that might cause harm, and left the factory without looking back.

All workers in the southern part of the kingdom went on strike. Countless factories were shut down and the mining areas were deserted. Instead of going home, the workers surrounded the local church and asked the priest or bishop to support them...

After learning about this, the second prince was so angry that he smashed his collection of snuff bottles.

Demonstrators surrounded the Houses of Parliament, and the Scotland Yard police were called in to stop the workers who wanted to storm the Houses of Parliament. There was no problem in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time... no one knows whether it will turn into a violent conflict.

No matter how many Scotland Yard police there are, they can't outnumber the workers in London. If they want to suppress it, they can only send troops into the city, but the church does not agree to do that.

"Your Majesty! Sign the order and mobilize the troops into the city! Those workers are so arrogant!"

In the palace, a group of nobles came to the king to complain and wanted to use force to suppress the workers, but Rhodes IV seemed not to hear it and ate his own apples.

At this moment, Archbishop Liviu, who was sitting nearby, spoke: "It is not allowed to mobilize the army, let alone use force to suppress it."

No one dared to ask why, and no one dared to question Archbishop Liviu's decision.

At a time when divine authority overrides royal authority, the church's right to speak is much higher than that of the king, not to mention...

A kingdom can be without nobles, but it cannot be without people.

Without the people at the bottom, where would the people at the top come from?

"But...but Your Majesty the Archbishop, the demands of those workers are obviously unreasonable! We cannot agree to it!"

"I don't care about that." Liviu pulled his face covered with age spots and laughed sinisterly: "In short, you are not allowed to mobilize the army."

In the face of foreign enemies, the church and the kingdom are staunch allies, but in the face of the people, the church and the kingdom are on opposite sides. Belief in God must protect believers, otherwise it will lose the reason for its existence. The ancients who created the belief in God have already considered this.

.

The ancestors who first created Belief God were pure. They didn't care about nobles or nobles. Everything they did was just to continue the fire of mankind. This is the basic rule of Belief God.

Just when the nobles were looking at each other, not knowing what to do, the internal affairs officer's announcement came from the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wishes to see you!"

Rhodes IV, who was nibbling an apple, stopped, put down the half-eaten apple, and said calmly:
Chapter completed!
