Chapter 212: Its daybreak

Latest website: On November 21st, the negotiations between the mayor of Sabine and the representatives of the striking workers did not make any valuable progress. The workers asked for something beyond the bottom line of the mayor and the representatives of the capitalists involved in the negotiations. .

They demand more wages, less working hours, and better benefits.

If only one of them is discussed, or each project requires relatively small concessions, then the problem is not big, just like the workers of a drinking water company, they do not ask much, and this has the basis for reaching an agreement.

But these workers’ representatives on strike have asked too much. The most ridiculous thing is that a worker’s representative has asked for a reduction in working hours from the original sixty hours to fifty hours a week, and a 5% increase in wages, and noon every day. Need meat and fresh fruit.

Even if this kind of request kills the capitalists, they will not agree to it. Of course, the 15 workers’ representatives maintain a common camp and front to some extent. The situation also refused to negotiate.

The persistent differences made this negotiation a farce. Worker representatives and capitalist representatives ended the negotiation amidst mutual accusations and abuse.

This made the workers think that the mayor was insincere. They felt that the mayor was on the side of the capitalists. Coupled with the instigation of a handful of people and the escalation of the shooting of Buppen, the turmoil in Sabine and the entire state escalated again.

People have started blatantly beating, smashing, looting and burning. They even chanted slogans like "Who is going to shoot me" in the process of breaking the law to vent their dissatisfaction with the current situation.

There are also some people who know in their hearts that this is a wrong approach, but they will not say that at this time, speaking is not the smartest choice.

On November 23, seeing that everything was going to be truly out of control, the governor gave a public speech in which he called on all the people to return to their rooms from the street as soon as possible, and close the doors and windows to protect their lives. Safety and property security.

At the same time, it also urged those who had been beaten, smashed, robbed, and burned to voluntarily surrender, and ordered that the out-of-control demonstrations be terminated immediately.

These words that seem to be spoken by dictators have no effect. People's free will is extremely precious. Although they are hungry, although they feel that every step they take is a torment to the body, they still hold high. Shouting slogans weakly under the banner.

At 7:30 pm on November 24th, the governor personally signed the first governor’s order of this year and informed relevant agencies such as the Department of Defense that the state will start at 5:30 am on November 25th. , Into a state of military control.

The governor's order is an executive order that can be issued during a special period. Simply put, when the situation is so serious that it cannot wait for the approval of the president's cabinet and Congress, the governor can temporarily obtain the highest authority of a state's internal military and politics.

Of course, after the situation is over, the governor will also be subject to a joint investigation by the National Security Council, the Federal Council of the Interior and other federal security agencies, as well as the completion of a hearing held by Congress.

If they think there is nothing wrong with the governor’s choice at that time, the matter ends here. If they think there are some problems with the governor’s behavior and handling, they may file a case accordingly.

This time, the governor requested that outside the prescribed time, no one is allowed to appear on the street, no one is allowed to approach or attack the soldiers on duty, and no more free behavior of beating, smashing, looting and burning is allowed, otherwise they will face the most severe treatment. .

At eight o'clock in the evening, the news quickly spread to every family in the entire state through the TV station. People were panicked and full of anger.

This is an insult and trampling on human rights and freedom!

This is a tarnish to the precious spirit of federal freedom!

In the evening of the same day, the mayor announced that on November 27, the second labor-management negotiation will be launched, and the mayor will still preside over it.

On that evening, the workers' union held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, this wave of workers' strikes can sweep the entire Confederation so quickly, it has to be said that workers' unions have played a very important role in this.

A very simple reason is that workers in a certain city absolutely do not know that a city that is thousands of kilometers away from them will hold a strike, and they can't pay attention to places that are far away, but the workers' union can.

Driven by the appeal of interests, the workers’ union began to spread the news and connect workers’ organizations from all over the country. This might have been a trivial one. Dozens of small-scale workers’ strikes occur every year, and it suddenly became a huge impact. The nationwide strike.

Now that the problem is so big, some demands have not been resolved, they are not sure whether they want to continue.

After a one-night meeting, they need to learn about the official attitude to determine how to deal with the current situation next.

As for how to understand, let people test it out!

On the morning of November 25th, it was late autumn and early winter. The city of Sabine was still shrouded in darkness at 5:30. The sun rises in winter time much more slowly than in summer time. It may still be enjoying The warmth in the bed didn't want to get up for a long time.

At this time, soldiers from the military were armed and followed the main route into the city.

At this moment, a group of workers with different looks stood in front of the soldiers. They put their arms around their arms and connected themselves to others tightly. They held their heads high and sang "Long Live the Free Federation". This famous song looked directly at the soldiers without fear and stopped them from moving forward.

The car walking in the front of the army slowly stopped, and out of the car came a 30-year-old soldier with blond hair and blue-gray pupils. Judging from his epaulettes, he was an army major.

The meticulous personal appearance, coupled with the military uniform, gave him a very heavy temperament.

He held the car door and looked at the ordinary people blocking their way, because he was standing behind the car lights, and people only saw two very bright car headlights and a somewhat vague shadow, and they couldn’t see. Clear his appearance.

The major walked to the car, he looked at the people, then raised his wrist to look at the watch on his wrist, "There are still five minutes to five thirty. According to the governor's order, everyone must be before five thirty. Go home and accept military control."

He put down his wrist and looked at these people indifferently, "You only have four minutes left. If you are still within my sight after four minutes, you don't have to go back."

Some of the striking workers who are blocking the way for the soldiers have begun to weaken their legs. In fact, they can agree to the requirements of the trade union (the workers’ representatives do not directly contact the trade union). Those who still come to try at this time are themselves courageous. Very big person.

But when faced with these indifferent soldiers, their courage to beat, smash, rob and burn seemed to be quickly disappearing.

The loss of courage also made the songs they sang a little less majestic, more twilight and cowardly. This should not be the singing style of "Long Live the Freedom Federation".

Facing these people, the major stood calmly in front of the car, with his hands behind him, his blue-gray eyes staring at these people indifferently.

Later, he said, "There are still three minutes..."

People’s singing voices have been weakened again. If it weren’t for each other’s arms, I’m afraid some people could not help leaving here.

Although soldiers and policemen have guns, their nature is completely different. Soldiers are even more daunting.

"Two minutes..."

"One minute!"

When talking about one minute, the major raised his wrist again and stared at the dial on his wrist, "You still have forty-seven seconds. Now it is forty-three seconds, forty-two seconds..."

He was counting down, one person's not loud voice suppressed everyone's voice, and the disappearance of the song made the atmosphere become dignified.

Some people broke away from others' arms and turned to run towards the direction where they lived in the city, but some people thought that this was just a threat to them by the soldiers. They just stood here and the army was not qualified to attack them.

Seeing fewer and fewer people, a sneer appeared at the corner of the major's mouth, "Ten..."

"Nine……"

"Forget it, it looks like you won't leave, I won't count down..." He retracted his wrist and turned to look at the other soldier standing behind him, "Is the joke I said not funny?"

In the early morning of this late autumn, some beads of sweat were secreted from the soldier's forehead, and he smiled a little nervously "Haha", "Very funny, Major."

The major looked at him and said when he saw him hairy, "It's too exaggerated. When we go back, twice the basic training." After he said, he held the door back into the car and turned to the soldiers behind him. They issued an order, "Catch these rioters and kill them if necessary."

In an instant, all the soldiers rushed out like wild...wolves out of the fence. They used the most professional military skills on ordinary people with the least resistance.

Sitting in the car, watching the beaten heads of ordinary people shed blood, they were smashed to the ground and the muzzles of at least two guns pointed at their heads, the major re-worn his lambskin gloves with satisfaction.

He knew that what he was doing now would be reported to the chief officer of the military base, or even to the Ministry of National Defense, but he didn't care.

He knows very well that ~lightnovelpub.net~ this country is about to lose its harmless pretence under pressure. In the next ten years, at least ten years, it will become a paradise for hawks and radicals, and this is also a paradise for all soldiers. The most beloved era.

The tougher and more aggressive he is now, the more opportunities he has in the future.

At the rank of major, he is already qualified enough to know some high-level movements. He hopes that his performance can be seen by the high-levels. He wants to take the army to perform missions abroad, and let the world see the strength of the Union soldiers!

Let them understand that the isolation of the Federation does not stem from fear, but does not want to hurt others!

In less than a minute, this group of strikers who had left the police powerless were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces. They tied their wrists with a string of thick forearm rope, tied them in a string, and connected them behind an armored vehicle.

If they don't want to be dragged, they'd better jogging forward. At this time, these people who are all hurt will have no more complaints, no curses, and can only follow silently.

At half past five, the eastern sky began to turn pale.
