Chapter 110 Caught two counter-revolutionaries!
There are often black smoke rising in the sky of New York, which is caused by burning things. The initiator is the participants of the Great Revolution. They snatch valuable things when they see them and burn them when they see something they don’t like!
Chaos is inevitable for any revolution. When the people are incited, they are pure mobs. At this time, they only have emotions but not much rationality.
Of course, this kind of pain is also necessary. This is the case with revolution, no one can break it!
Cyrus Westfield witnessed the entire New York Revolution. He should be said to be lucky because he was a complete bourgeoisie, a very rich capitalist, and his success was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in his 30s. However, during this revolution, he was at least full of all the beginnings and ends.
In short, Sellersfield has not suffered much impact, which is likely to have something to do with his industry. He used to be a businessman in the printing industry, but now he is more interested in an emerging industry, that is, telegraph!
Telegram, this is a real emerging industry, and the young country of the United States happened to catch up with a period of great development of telegraphs. Since the 1840s, the United States has entered a period of crazy laying of telegraph lines☆▽. It is simply crazy. Until now, basically all states in the United States have laid telegraph lines, and even California has telegraphed.
There is another very interesting story here, that is, there was a courier company named Bernie, with 500 horses, and the postman was all young men. They all swore in front of the Bible. So they wanted to compete with the telegram to see who is faster, and as a result... Bernie's company went bankrupt, and California and the United States were more closely connected.
But to be honest, these things are simply not worth mentioning to the career Field wants to do, because what he wants to do is lay a submarine telegraph cable connecting the United States and the United Kingdom, that is, the United States connecting Europe!
The United States and Europe, and even the whole world, are not connected, and they are all isolated. But now that our technology has developed, we can change this state. As long as a cable is laid in the sea, the world can be connected!
This idea can be said to be crazy because as far as the current technology is concerned, it is simply incredible, but!
Cyrusfield has succeeded. He has really done it!
It was 1858. After three failures, he finally put a long cable in the sea and there was a signal. At that time, a grand celebration ceremony was held in New York. His carriage was at the front of the parade. At that time, President Buchanan, this guy was just sitting in the third carriage!
That is the supreme glory!
However, not long after, I found that the signal from the cable was too poor and too weak, and it was useless at all. In other words, he failed again.
Unwilling to give up, he just didn't want to give up, so Field was ready to do it again, but now, he encountered a huge difficulty!
"Don't rob it! I beg you! It's useless to take these things back!"
"You bastard capitalist! Stop fucking nonsense!"
"I will kill you if I say more!"
"These things are all copper wire! Copper! You actually say it's useless? Capitalists are indeed liars!"
That's right, the factory in Sellersfield in Brooklyn was robbed. The key is that the robbery was not the original workers. To be honest, because his project is mainly because of the technical complexity, he really does not have much oppression on the workers, so he has not suffered much impact.
But I don’t know who is mean, but he said that the cables here are valuable, so they are all copper.
"You thugs are simply shameless! Your actions will be punished by God!"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard came out. His temper was very hot and he wanted to stretch out his hand.
"Ha! You bastard! Believe it or not, I'll kill you right away?"
"Don't make me angry!"
The guys who robbed kept on their hands, just threatening with words?
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" There was nothing to do with the middle-aged man, there were many people robbing him.
"Mr. Thomson, don't be as good as them." Nafield was very respectful to the middle-aged man.
But, seeing these cables being dismembered and then used for money, this is a matter...
"What the hell are you all doing?" Suddenly, a loud shout came from far to near, and a group of people rushed in. They were all wearing ordinary clothes, but they all had red cloth strips on their right arms.
"you……"
"Run! It's the workers' security meeting!"
"asshole!"
Workers' Public Security Council?
Cyrusfield felt very unfamiliar with this name. What exactly do they do?
"Fake! You bastards, didn't you agree that we proletariat have said it!"
Bang! Bang!
Some people don’t want to leave, and these people didn’t come empty-handed. They seemed to be angry and ran out soon and then turned around and fired the gun!
"Bastard! Chase!"
"The great Mr. Clint Lee teaches us! We must clean these revolutionary pests!"
"Run!"
The guy with a red cloth strip on his arm was fierce enough, and he went to chase the robbers who fired the gun without fear.
"Where can shoot?"
When he heard the gunshots, Li Mengyang, who was patrolling nearby, naturally had to ask.
"Mr. Clint, it should be there." McIlroy was a backbone in the New York workers' group, and this time he acted as a tour guide.
"Mengyang! I'll go and see!" Of course Mai Youli is here, he is now Li Mengyang's personal guard.
"Go and have a look!" Li Mengyang turned his horse's head and rushed over quickly.
Not long after, there was a group of people in the factory in Cyrusfield. They were all riding tall horses, and they felt very proud.
"Report to Mr. Clint!"
"Speaking!"
"A group of robbers just now! We are pursuing!"
"very good!"
The person with red cloth strips was reporting to Li Mengyang. In fact, this public security maintenance meeting was created by Li Mengyang to calm down the chaos in New York City now.
Although our Great Revolution was vigorous, it also caused many monsters and monsters. You should know that New York was originally called the City of Sin, and there were always many scumbags here. Therefore, there were a large number of criminals who took advantage of the revolution to commit robbery and other bastards there!
These guys must be suppressed!
So Li Mengyang promulgated a temporary law, that is, as long as there is an illegal crime, law enforcement officers can have the right to deal with it urgently.
To put it bluntly, you can directly kill those criminals without any legal prosecution.
To be honest, even Li Mengyang himself knew this law, which was wrong, but now he was in a hurry to be in power. Besides, he actually had the greatest revolution...
"Are you Mr. Clint Lee?" At this time, Cyrusfield suddenly spoke. Because he saw a little hope, "Sir. I have suffered serious losses now, and I hope you can compensate me!"
"Compensation?" Li Mengyang laughed at the time, "Why are we compensated? Your losses are not our fault, right?"
"Why isn't it?!" Unexpectedly, Field was still aggressive. "If it weren't for the revolution you did, how could my factory suffer such a great loss? I have never bullied any workers! If you don't believe me, you can ask my workers!"
This Field actually pointed out that the revolution is not the case!
"Shut up! Where can you speak here?" The person with red cloth immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Haha..." Li Mengyang smiled, "It's okay, let him continue."
"You, you..." When Nafield saw Clint Lee's behavior, he seemed to be quite gentlemanly, so he couldn't say anything.
"This gentleman." Li Mengyang wanted to say, "Maybe you have not bullied workers, but it does not mean that others have not. And although you have not bullied workers, you have gained benefits because others bullied workers."
"What? I absolutely don't!" Field immediately denied.
"No? Hahaha..." Li Mengyang still smiled, "Okay, let me ask you, for workers, are you giving a much higher salary than other factories?"
As soon as he asked, Nassellfield stopped talking because he already knew what Clint Lee was going to say.
Yes, you may not bully workers, but how do workers’ wages come from now? Isn’t this what other capitalists bully? Since you have not paid much more, aren’t you just enjoying the dividends that others get from bullying workers?
Yes, this is the truth, which sounds easy to understand, but if you don’t make things bigger, no one will admit it and make a fortune in silence.
"Sir." At this time, the middle-aged man named Thomson spoke, "Your words are very appropriate. I really can't believe that you actually gave these guys together."
This is a pity for Li Mengyang, but Li Mengyang still laughed.
"Sir, you should be a believer of God, right? So why should you regard others as different? Everyone is equal, and everyone is equal! What's the problem with me being with the workers?"
I have to say that this is Li Mengyang’s always view.
"Well, I have to say, you're an eloquent guy. Are you Clint Lee? The guy who wrote "Portrait of Dorling Gray"?"
“That’s right.”
Both parties have begun to introduce them, so you have to report to your family.
"I am Sailsfield, the general manager of Atlantic Telegraph." Field showed his identity.
Atlantic Telegraph Company? This company name instantly attracted Li Mengyang's attention.
"This is Mr. William Thomson, a scholar from England, and a..."
"Ah? It's him?" When Li Mengyang heard this name, he thought of the Atlantic Telegraph Company and the Field. He was shocked at that time, and then...
"Take it away! Take both of them!"
"What?"
"Why?!"
Can those two people be willing?
But the situation was stronger than that of the people, and the ones with red cloth strips ignored the struggle and resistance of these two people.
However, Li Mengyang still added the reason.
"These two people are suspected of being a major counter-revolutionary!"
"Yes! Resolutely complete the tasks assigned by Mr. Clint!"
This... why did Li Mengyang even rob the copper wire? And he was so heartbroken?
The continuous black smoke in New York City seems to cast a shadow on the Great Revolution... (To be continued...)
