148 Armed uprising
As the most eastern city in the Third Republic of Vern, July in Rewadren has entered its hottest season. The sky without a trace of clouds cannot block the heat from the sun. The hot light has roasted everything in the city into a twisted shape. In this air that can heat people to the point of exhaustion, the workers of the Chisha Foundry are working sweatily.
"Cassy", wearing only a pair of trousers, naked brown upper body, and a towel hanging around her neck, took advantage of the shift to find Cassy Lonagan, who was sitting on a huge anchor drinking water. The noise of the anchorage and the sound of workers shouting trumpets made everyone except the two of them unable to hear what they were chatting about.
"All ready, are you going to start?"
Taraji's voice was not loud, and the noisy background sound was hard to hear clearly. However, Cassie Lonagan still heard clearly. His body was much stronger than half a year ago, his skin turned darker, and there was a little less confusion in his eyes.
"Of course," Cassie Lonagan picked up the towel around her neck and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "It's better to die standing than to be exploited by these capitalists until they die, right?"
"That's it," Taraji nodded, "A total of 127 brothers, but only two steam rifles were found, and it was Ankenriin's Type 27. This is the cheapest gun on the black market, and the others are expensive and cannot be bought."
"The gun doesn't matter," Casey Lonagan waved his hand indifferently, "As long as the plan goes well, we will have a gun soon."
"I understand, about the specific plan..."
As the deputy of the organization of this armed uprising, Taraj still has a lot to confirm with Cassi Lonagan. As a native of Rewadren, he met this person when Cassi Lonagan came to Rewadren half a year ago and founded the Rewadren branch of the Rewadren Party of the United Nations. At that time, Taraj scoffed at the idea of parliamentary communism in the United Nations League. He went to the workplace of the Workers' League of Trade Unions to ask, looked, and gave up the idea of joining. At that time, Taraj could not have imagined that after half a year, he would launch an armed uprising with this Cassi Lonagan. If you want to say what united the two people, or all those who were interested in communism, it must be President Aziva Land's tyrannical policy toward communism.
If you don’t let us live, we will naturally not let you live a good life.
In the hot and twisted air, two naked workers chatted casually, and most people would not care about what the suffering people were talking about. However, supervisor Olek Quinn believed that no matter what these people talked about, they could not delay their work. He quickly walked around the anchor on the ground, walked to the two of them, and issued an order.
"You guys, don't chat, work hard!"
Cassie Lonagan and Tara and Hansen, who were chatting, stopped. The two apologized respectfully and said that they would go back to work immediately. But the supervisor Olek was obviously not satisfied with this. He was already very unhappy in his own way while standing under the sun to supervise the work of these lazy eggs. How could these two people get confused so easily? He scolded the two, and used the small whip in his hand to whip twice, looking at the countless old whips on their backs with satisfaction, and then used his feet to hold them.
These two people kicked back to their jobs. To deal with these uneducated workers who only know how to eat and drink, they just want to eat and drink and fuck them, Oleke felt that his management method was the best. Before that, he might not have been so excessive. However, recently, he was strictly investigated for communism. They looked at any worker who didn't like it. As long as they reported a suspected communist to the police station, they could immediately make the worker unable to survive or die. With such a killer weapon, people like Oleke became more and more arrogant.
The busy work continued until the evening, because the conflict between the Loren Robus and the Arronte Empire near the coastline became increasingly fierce recently, and the Third Republic of Vern increased its construction of maritime forces. The Rivadren, which was originally a small seaside town without a port, also became busy because it was close to the port city of Pier Fort. At the same time, the workers from these anchorages became busy.
After a simple supper and a long evening, in the early morning, Tara and Cassie Lonagan, and other workers who decided to launch the uprising gathered around the police station. If they wanted to get weapons, the police station was the most convenient place. Moreover, controlling the police station first and then attacking the city government during the uprising is also a consensus plan that everyone accepts.
"How is it, are you ready?"
Squatting outside the light of the only pyroxene street light at the door of the police station, Cassie Lonagan finally asked the comrades beside him. Everyone nodded slightly and their eyes were firm. Although Rivadron was remote, the living environment of the working class was even worse, and everyone had already lived such a life. Now they could use their hands and lives to gain a way out, which was naturally due to pleasure.
"It's OK."
As if to make up his mind, Tara and whispered to confirm. His answer seemed to have turned on some switch. Cassie Lonagan nodded and sent out a signal.
"Let's get started."
So Tara and a few brothers who had already chosen stood up, ran to the light in panic, and they stalked at the door of the police station and called for help loudly.
"Help, help, kill someone!!!"
Hearing the call for help, the police on duty appeared behind the door. They glanced at the blood on Tara and his companions and asked impatiently.
"What the hell is it! What's wrong, say!"
"Factory, Factory", Tara and the other person was so excited that they couldn't breathe. From the perspective of Cassie Lonagan, his acting skills were perfect, "Someone in the factory killed people! Three people died!!!"
"What?" The police were also nervous when they heard that it was a murder case. He asked a few more questions and found that there was no reason for these people. He asked Tara and others to wait outside the door, and turned around and entered the house. After a while, a team of ten policemen opened the door and walked out.
"Where? Lead the way!"
"Sir, here!"
Tara and his colleagues led these policemen through the intersection where Cassie Lonagan was ambushed. Cassie Lonagan, who had been waiting here, rushed up and stabbed the policemen in the darkness of the night. For some reason, Cassie Lonagan, who had never killed anyone, did not feel much trouble when he killed the policeman in charge of attack. At that moment, his only thought was the former leader who died on the scaffolding platform.
The workers who launched the uprising took these police weapons and rushed to the police station. At this time, half of the people on duty on the police station left, and most of the remaining people were also groggy and were quickly broken. The workers occupied the police station, found the police station's arsenal, released all the communist suspects locked in the police station's cell, equipped everyone with police steam rifles, and then rushed to the city hall. Although there would be no one in the city hall at this time, in the accommodation area next to the city hall, all the high-ranking officials in the city were there. As long as they were killed, the city would enter a state of headlessness, and the uprising would also achieve initial victory.
It was easier to invade the accommodation area next to the city hall than expected. The workers who launched the uprising mercilessly killed most of the officials, leaving only Mayor Eric Dorio. Afterwards, they divided into three routes and rushed to the city's three largest workers' gathering areas.
Cassie Lonagan was responsible for Chisha Foundry. He led people to open the factory door, entered the workers' dormitory area, woke everyone up one by one from the Datong Bed, found a crate, stood on the box, and simply announced to the workers that Revadron had fallen into their hands.
"...So, this city is now communists, and we will start from here to liberate the 60 million working classes in the country. You are my workers, my seniors and mentors. I stand here, and don't say anything else, just ask you a question, whether to live with these things on your back-" Casey Lonagan said, turning around and revealing the whip marks behind you, "Let's stand up like a man, give yourself a future, and give us the working class a future. What path do you say, choose!!!"
"That's all right, of course he lives like a man!"
Many people in the worker group stood up and responded to the call. But there were also many people who were honest and gentle in character and were reluctant to participate in such matters. Casey Lonagan was about to say something, but found that an uninvited guest had entered their simple venue.
They were the factory supervisors. As supervisors, they always lived not far from the workers for easy management. When they heard the noisy here at night, Olek Quinn and other supervisors rushed over with a whip in their hands. They originally wanted to see which one was not very eye-catching and did not let people sleep in the middle of the night and to make some careful adjustments. But when they arrived at the scene, they found that things seemed to be different from what they thought.
"You guys fucking-"
As soon as Olek remembered the voice of anger and hatred, he was held back by countless pairs of eyes looking at him. He quickly looked around and found that almost all the workers in the factory were gathered here. Many of the people standing in front of these workers were also workers in the factory. The only difference was that they had steam backpacks on their backs and guns in their hands.
"...that...you guys are busy...I...I'll leave first..."
Olek realized in an instant that the situation was not good. He nodded and curled, and completed the change of identity in less than a second. How could Cassi Lonagans let these people go? They grabbed these supervisors, tied them up, brought them to everyone, and then criticized their crimes one by one. The workers present had been bullied by these supervisors for a long time and were already full of resentment. Now that he finally had the opportunity to fight back, he would naturally not be stingy. Cassi Lonagan took the lead in picking up the supervisor's whip
, while telling about the oppression and injustice he encountered, whipping Olek and others. These supervisors were still begging for mercy at first, but soon became angry because of being beaten and began to insult and threaten the workers present, saying that they would not die well and would definitely be executed as communists. This behavior further aroused everyone's emotions. The workers in front rushed forward and knocked these supervisors to the ground. Seeing that everyone's emotions were almost the same, Cassie Lonagan killed these supervisors in front of everyone.
"You have also seen that in the eyes of these people, even if you do nothing, you will be killed as communists. Then why should you still bow down and earn this little money that is not enough to be covered in belly? Stand up, straighten your back and stand up, let us be like a real person, no longer exploited or oppressed, and rely on our own hands to give all of our working class a future!"
At this point, no one hesitated or wandered. The workers joined Cassie Lonagan's uprising team. They controlled the factory, killed other supervisors, found their respective weapons, and then, under the leadership of Cassie Lonagan, they turned around at the Town Hall and the other two road workers. At this point, the rebel workers gathered under Cassie Lonagan and Tara and Hansen had more than two thousand.
"What should we do next?"
In the meeting room of the town hall, Casey Lonagan, Tara and Hansen, as well as Yaro Lynch, the leader of the Rivadron Textile Factory, and their respective core members, were discussing the next direction. Rivadron's regime was too easy to get, and several leaders were a little confused for a while.
"Consolidate the regime and get more weapons." Cassie Lonagan is the one who knows the situation best among the people here. "Now we have only temporarily gained control of the city, but we don't have enough weapons. If the news of our uprising spreads, there will definitely be enemies coming to encircle and suppress it. Then the time will be the key to determining our victory or defeat."
"I think we need more food and money," Yaro Lynch put forward his own idea. "Now that everyone has revolted, we will definitely not be a worker. We need to train and become an army. We need to ensure the source of our food and economy. I think that today we can control the grain shops, granaries and banks in the city, and have food to eat and money to continue working."
"It makes sense," Cassie Lonagan nodded, "It should take a little time from the news that the enemy is coming. I agree with Yaro Lynch's point of view, and give priority to finding enough food and funds in these two days."
"If you want food, you can control the grain store." Tara and Hansen gave advice, "As for funds, banks must control it. Then what should the capitalists in the city do?"
"Catch them all and then deprive them of their property! In a communist society, there are no capitalists! Their money is all that we earn from exploiting us, so we will naturally have to return it to us!"
Cassie Lonagan's proposal was recognized by everyone. The comrades continued to discuss for a while and completed the division of labor. The workers in the foundry were responsible for the West City and the workers in the textile mill were responsible for the East City. They would clean up all the capitalists in the city and raise enough funds and food for the post-communism movement.
Chapter completed!
