"I will never neglect my yearning for freedom for money!"

This is a relatively well-known saying among workers' unions and the working class. Many people have heard of it, and it will be frequently used in some important strikes or demonstrations.

Sometimes it will be a variant, but the general meaning will not change.

Its true meaning means that "workers should not be able to ask for unlimited hours of work just because capitalists pay overtime wages." This was born when the labor union promoted the relevant provisions of the Labor Security Law for the working class.

A worker sternly yelled this sentence in front of all the MPs in the congress hall.

He rejects endless overtime, and even more rejects the endless oppression and exploitation of the working class by capitalists through overtime and other means!

Later, the relevant amendments to the Labor Security Law clearly stipulated that a worker's weekly overtime hours are capped.

After all, there may be some emergencies in the factory, and it is impossible not to work overtime at all, but basically, each person should not work more than 15 hours of overtime per week.

And capitalists also need to pay overtime fees in addition to wages and hourly wages for these fifteen hours, otherwise workers have the right to refuse to work overtime.

If workers refuse to work overtime and are treated differently or even fired by the factory, they can sue the factory.

Many people, especially workers, take this sentence as their creed, and some extreme ones even directly refuse to work overtime for any reason, even if they are paid!

Although they are poor, they are so poor, maybe this is what they want to express.

But every capitalist knows it's a joke!

"Twice the hourly salary, until twelve o'clock in the evening, if you are willing to stay, there will be dinner later, with fried chicken nuggets and a glass of beer for each!"

When the foreman yelled this sentence, the workers who had already taken off their safety gear in pursuit of freedom froze for a moment, then put back the half-taken gear.

Who the **** cares if you work overtime or not?

Do they care about overtime?

No, what they care about is making more contributions to society, which has nothing to do with those capitalists or overtime wages!

In fact, the workers living in Bupain can understand the importance of twice the hourly wage, although it does not seem to be a lot.

At present, Bu Paine's minimum wage has risen to 440 yuan, with an average annual increase of 3% to 5%.

But in fact, only according to the minimum hourly wage standard, it is impossible to hire people in Bupain.

Bupain might be one of the few cities that hasn't been overrun by immigrants, not because of how xenophobic or traditional the people here are.

The purely exorbitant standard of living makes it difficult for immigrants without any financial foundation to gain a foothold in this terrible city!

These steel structure stevedores can get three dollars and seventy-five cents an hour from the hands of the foreman, which seems to be a very high salary.

If calculated based on ten hours of work per day, their monthly salary would be more than 1,000 yuan.

But it is not.

Most of the time they belong to that kind of waiting status, they are stevedores, not workers in factories.

They only calculate their hourly wages when they have a job. At other times, their wages are very low, and they can get about 400 yuan a month.

In the Bupain area, it can be regarded as a low-middle income level.

This situation is actually very common, and capitalists are always smart.

Spend a share of money, hire someone, and let them work without rest for 30 days a month.

They will take you to court in at most two weeks and sue you for violating various labor-related laws.

Crushing, exploiting, not providing the least amount of rest and everyone will think you are a mean and mean capitalist.

But if you spend the same amount, hire two people who only work half the day, and give each of them half their wages.

None of them will think it's too much, and they'll even think you're a nice guy.

After all, there is half a day of rest every day. Strictly speaking, it is equivalent to three and a half days of rest in a week.

No one can blame them for anything as long as they meet minimum wage law pay standards.

And these people, if necessary, they can find another part-time job.

The stevedores are similar, and the capitalists pay them by the hour, but the work they can do is limited, so the income is lower.

If you can earn more, you naturally want to earn more.

Five hours, almost 20 yuan, this is not a small sum.

For ordinary people.

Not to mention there are fried chicken nuggets and beer, for these food, they are willing to stay for a while.

Not many people left, the foreman counted the list, and then a large car of chicken nuggets and beer was delivered.

The workers eat quickly so that they can eat more, because the meal time is fixed.

When the time comes, no food will be provided. During the time, in addition to the prescribed glass of beer per person, they can eat as much fried chicken as they want!

At 7:25, the meal is over and work continues.

The huge working site is illuminated by huge power bulbs as if it were daytime, and the crane sends some prefabricated steel structures to the predetermined place.

Then stevedores in safety equipment begin the assembly work.

Factory buildings with prefabricated steel structures have appeared in the Federation for some time, and are basically only suitable for flat factory buildings.

Because of the material, it is not yet suitable for high-rise buildings, but scientists are working on how to make high-rise steel structures a reality!

I hope there will be no tragedy this time!

Of course this is off topic.

After Lynch confirmed the order, he immediately started construction and expansion. In the past two years, the physical industry has exploded, and some people specialize in fast-track workshop work.

All kinds of large-scale steel prefabricated parts, screws are tightened, wires are welded at the joints, the crane is pulled, and the workers align the joints for reinforcement, and soon a factory building can be built, as fast as stacking wood!

The federation's siege is not impossible, as long as the money is in place!

The entire construction site was in full swing, and the news that Blackstone Aviation had received an order for 5,000 fighter jets spread later.

There is no difference between the presidential palace and the Capitol. They are both big and small, and they can't hide any secrets at all.

The outside world does not know the final amount of this order, but they estimate it to be at least 4.5 billion.

Of course, they guessed very accurately, and the final price was 4.5 billion.

The federal government ordered 5,000 planes in one go, and large-scale production reduced various costs. If they could order 10,000 planes at a time, Lynch could reduce the sales price to 8 billion in one go.

But they have only ordered 5,000 planes so far, plus the previous 2,000 planes, everyone is numb!

Sometimes money is just a number to a certain extent. In an era when the average person can only get four to five hundred yuan, orders of billions have made many people completely lose their ability to adapt to numbers.

In order for the money to be pocketed smoothly, Blackstone Aviation built a new factory building and assembly line overnight.

Fortunately, fighter jet technology in this period is not too complicated, the casing and the engine itself, these are the two most technical things.

Among them, the shell is very easy to solve, aluminum alloy plus stamping machine tool, this thing is a matter of "bang" a few times.

The engine is a little troublesome, and the previous assembly line can be changed to produce it.

Some parts have been added and some parts have been reduced in the upgrade of the engine. The overall volume of the engine has not changed much, and the weight has also been reduced.

It is not difficult to change the assembly line, and it can be changed in about three days.

Not to mention the others, just place an order. With so many factories in the Federation, the order is placed, and then the production is authorized. After the order is over, the authorization is terminated. Sometimes I have to lament the convenience of authorized production.

After the conversation with Mr. Truman was over, Lynch also inquired about the air battle situation in the Niujiao Strait. When he knew that more than a thousand fighter jets had been shot down, he roughly knew why the military would shoot so many at once. Big order now.

He even felt that there might not be enough of these planes.

Before Penteo's materials are exhausted, they will build aircraft like crazy, because they will find that the army is completely suppressed by the air force.

Instead of wasting energy on ground-air coordination with the Federation, it is better to keep increasing investment in the air force.

As long as the air supremacy is seized, the federal army will not be able to push through.

The reverse is also true, if air supremacy is lost, ground forces are easy targets.

The two great powers fought desperately in the field of air force, and only themselves benefited in the end.

Lynch knew this, but he didn't know it. Mr. Truman then rejected the request for assistance from Prime Minister Geoffrey Dai, and the reason was very simple.

They also lost a large number of planes and pilots in the Niujiao Strait, and the pilots are better off.

The current fighter jets are not like the extremely advanced fighter jets of the future. Even ordinary people can drive fighter jets to fight with about two hours of driving time.

Of course, life or death depends on the face.

The biggest problem now is that there are no planes, and pilots are useless.

The planes on the mainland of the Federation and Midway Island cannot be tampered with. In case the Penteo people get mad, they will arrange a fleet composed of sea fortresses to cross the eastern ocean to attack the east coast of the Federation.

Even attacking Bu Paine.

Without the protection and reconnaissance of fighter jets ~lightnovelpub.net~ the entire east coast is left undefended.

Therefore, this part of the aircraft cannot be mobilized and must be guarded.

Besides, they can't mobilize too many planes anymore.

This answer made the Acting Prime Minister extremely annoyed and helpless.

Because every word Mr. Truman said is true and irrefutable.

You can't make them give up the current fighting in all areas and send the aircraft to Gafla, right?

How can this be?

And this also put Gefra into a more dangerous situation. Although Peng Jieo's first tentative landing was quickly repelled.

But next, what they have to face is the crazy attack and landing after reorganization!

Once it can't hold on, with the size of the island and the strength of the army...

They may not survive the day of victory!
