Chapter 295 Opposition
William went to war with the Golden Lion Ski and finally won, a large part of the reason why they had airships that could carry people to heaven. The reason why they could build so many airships was thanks to the factories in the Kalmar City Textile Industrial Zone who worked hard and worked overtime.
Although these workers cannot go to the battlefield and their personal strength may not be as strong as the most ordinary soldier, they played a huge role in defending the East China Sea and defeating a big pirate like the Golden Lion Ski.
Like many textile mill workers, when Ferriske heard that the Navy Headquarters was going to send people to him after William defeated Ski, he thought that the world government was going to commend William who defeated Ski and the East China Sea people. Although William had already awarded bonuses to the workers before that, he kept publishing the workers' advanced deeds in the newspapers, giving them double material and spiritual rewards, but that was the World Government and the Navy Headquarters after all.
When the Tianlong people inspected the East China Sea, countless people in the East China Sea cheered and felt proud, and even excited to see the Tianlong people, they knew that for the indigenous people in this world, the status of the world government was different from that of the kingdom.
The kingdom represents only a corner of the land, while the world government represents the world!
But as a result, Ferriske and other workers came not by commendation, not honor, not reward, but by unemployment, arrest, and distress.
Morgan William was convicted and imprisoned by the Navy. The former nobles and kings regained power. For the people in the slums, it was a big event that the sky was about to collapse. Anyone with a little mind knew that the nobles and kings hated William to the core. People in the slums all rely on William's policies to live a life of gradually becoming rich and decent. Here, Morgan William has many supporters, and the factory directors of those factories were also supported by Morgan William. How could the nobles and kings make the people here feel better after they took power?
After the factory managers were arrested one after another, the factories were shut down one after another, and the protesters were unceremoniously expelled and suppressed by the Navy Headquarters. The people in the slums finally understood that the existence of the Kalmar City Industrial Zone was about to be gone forever.
Most people who can work in factories are unwilling to go back to the past, but after waiting for a while, there is no turning point at all. The unemployed workers can only make another way to make a living. The flowing orioles and taverns are like mushrooms after a rain, and they are emerging one after another at a surprising speed. Theft and robbery are also beginning to happen sporadically.
If we don’t look at the factories that have been built in the past two years and the workers’ uniforms that pedestrians on the streets are generally worn by pedestrians, Ferriske almost thought that he had traveled through time and space and returned to his past days in the slums.
Before becoming a worker, Ferriske was a pickpocket, but he was not very successful, so he didn't want to return to his old career, so he chose to work in a tavern.
Ferriske was not smart and capable, but when he worked overtime in the factory to build airships, he fainted because he worked for two days and two nights without resting, so he appeared in newspapers and news and was regarded as an advanced deed. Many people in the industrial area knew him, and knew his experiences and family conditions, so he took good care of him. When he was cleaning up the table, people who knew him often left him a little tip.
Basco and others also discovered this. After some drinkers left, they would always greet Ferriske and then put some money under the plate. When Ferriske cleaned up the table, they would not have the treatment for other waiters.
It was basically the first time they came here, and they didn't know the reason. Only the soldier who brought them over knew it. He told them about it, which made a group of people sigh.
Basco silently took out two Baileys from his arms and pressed them under his plate.
Everyone was drinking wine and talking and laughing. There were originally many wanderings in the slums, and most of the women who grew up here could not escape this fate. After the factories were established one after another, this situation improved a lot. However, when the factory went bankrupt, these unemployed female workers could only go on the old path. Therefore, there was no shortage of women in the entire tavern. The wanderings spraying cheap perfume quickly filled these people. Except for Basco, almost everyone held a woman in their arms and flirted with each other and fed each other.
Basco didn't like such occasions at first. After hearing about Ferriske's experience, he was even less in a mood. He sat alone in the corner and drank with wine. But soon, he found that it was a little quieter around him. The wanderings who had originally teased with his comrades no longer spoke, and the smile on his face was also lost.
Basco straightened his back and looked around, and finally found the initiator of all this.
Several naval soldiers in white uniforms walked in.
Basco frowned deeply.
No matter what the four lieutenant generals in the temporary command of the Navy Headquarters think, in the eyes of Kalmar City and even the people of the East China Sea, the situation in the East China Sea is entirely due to the reverse actions of the Navy Headquarters.
The capital of the Kingdom of Fales was robbed and the palace was burned down, which was not passed through the naval channels to Cap and others. Therefore, in this city, not only the naval lieutenant generals knew about it, but many people also knew about it.
They believe that it was precisely because the people from the Navy headquarters who had jailed the heroes who saved the East China Sea for no reason that the two evildoers, the Dragon Pirates and the Bucky Pirates, were able to escape from William's hands and commit such crimes.
Not to mention that during their stay in this city, in order to help the nobles and kings control the situation, they suppressed the rebels, listened to the remarks of the nobles, framed the city residents in the name of William's party.
The people in this city, especially those in the slums, have long changed from their expectations before they arrived to hatred.
"Do they dare to come to a tavern in a slum, not to be drunk and thrown into a puddle and drowned?" a garrison soldier whispered.
"What are they afraid of? If someone dares to do this, they will definitely be characterized as William's accomplices, and then they will be arrested in prison and executed with William at that time." Another soldier responded sarcastically.
One of them looked at the naval soldiers coldly and said, "These bastards from the Navy headquarters must be very happy now. They have successfully made the East China Sea as messy as the great route."
"Maybe they did it on purpose, and now Donghai seems to be inseparable from them." Another person said.
Basco sighed: "If Lord William was still there, this city and the East China Sea would not have fallen into such a situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his comrades looking at each other, and no one dared to take on this conversation again.
When Basco and others spoke, the navy had already walked to the bottom of the stage and sat down. The navy soldiers didn't think too much. They were just obeying orders in their daily lives, and they didn't understand the attitude of the upper class and the changes in the entire East China Sea environment. Moreover, they naturally would not say anything good to William in the propaganda within the army. They still thought they were on the side of justice. Although there were many companions who had already had similar experiences and had talked about the hostility of the locals to the navy, these navy soldiers who had finally come out to relax did not really understand the gap between the two sides.
It was not the criminals of the "Minority" and Morgan William's accomplices who hated them, but the "Majority" of the local people.
