Chapter 697 Chapter 16.19 (Part 2) The 'comrades' of the moderates
On Wanlun Continent, in the north of the empire, there is a small industrial city of 200,000 people, Mirsu. Now it has ushered in a new group of city leaders. Lingel, he has always been a member of the revolutionary party, but he was not accepted by the empire.
Discovered. Of course, with the current turbulent revolution, he was left out in the cold by the revolutionaries.
The contemporary imperial revolutionary party is generally led by young, aristocratic leaders with broad vision.
Narrator: Small and medium-sized aristocrats are also aristocrats. People like Bienma, who come from a humble background, are separated by an insurmountable social gap.
They seek "big ambitions". The empire's attitude toward them is to stay in prison and face reality.
Of course, now that the foreign war has been defeated and the internal economy has collapsed, the empire has learned a lesson from reality.
At this time, Nongxiang Zhong Enma commented on this: At this time, the urban revolutionary parties were pursuing their great ambitions, but they did not allow this great ambition to accommodate too many comrades. Therefore, when they were prosperous at this time, they unknowingly let
The comrades who originally followed them were left out in the cold.
The reason why the early New Democratic Revolution in the East in modern times was said to "let the conservatives usurp the fruits of success" was that the revolution took the upper class route, just like a fish leaving the water and the roots of a tree leaving the soil.
The current core problem of Sky Empire is that the group of people who control the "steering wheel" have been staying in the "cab", and their buttocks are too far away from the "axles", "tires" and "fuel tanks".
These "drivers" fail to realize the complexity of the up and down governance links of a modern industrial system.
Therefore, without the consciousness and determination to grasp all of this in an all-round way, we still rely on the cells of the old organism to be able to 'rejuvenate dead trees'.
It was against this background that Enma found the city representative in the secondary industrial city in the north ~ Linger.
This was the first cooperation between the Peasants' Youth Association and the Imperial Revolutionary Party.
In the current situation where industrial bankruptcy is common in major cities in the empire, the Agricultural Youth Association carried out bargain-hunting operations. By supporting Lingel, a revolutionary party, it entered the political arena of marginal cities. At the same time, it carried out large-scale acquisitions and won
The industrial furnace of this city.
At this time, the Agricultural Youth League already has a certain initial capital.
All the Juncker model farmers in the northern region, after going through a process of "dividing land", "universal rural suffrage" and "inserting cadre groups", can be said to have integrated the region's "hard currency capital" such as gold and silver at the minimum cost.
stand up.
After the land was distributed, all the farmers changed their talking heads, and a "new faction" was formed. These "new factions" cooperated with the Agricultural Youth Association and occupied a large share of "water canals", "fertilizers" and "agricultural product sales channels".
Cheap.
The Agricultural Youth Association approached them for a loan, and they also gave the gold, silver, and imperial bonds hidden in the farm to the Agricultural Youth Association.
The investments made by the Agricultural Youth Association are also planned. For example, they took the opportunity to buy a city furnace.
…Wei Keng: When it comes to core resources, if you can “buy” them, don’t “grab” them. The process of “grabbing” can easily lead to confusion and legal entanglements, which can provide reasons for the reactionaries to counterattack…
In terms of scale, Mirsu is not the largest industrial city in the empire. It only has the ability to produce steel and refine it, and its main products are rails.
No arms are produced here, not even bullets. Now after the defeat of the war, daily operations have stopped.
The empire is currently in chaos, and the center has lost control of many edge cities.
However, the gendarmes tightened their control over the industrial centers that produced arms and sent royalists to these important towns for expropriation.
In the summer of 3230, when the struggle between various factions in the central region of the empire became increasingly fierce, "smooth" but "significant" changes occurred in the northern, bitter and cold region of the empire.
After Lingel won the majority in the parliamentary election, the Agricultural Youth Congress also entered the factory to communicate with the factory's technical backbones, transported raw materials and restarted production. At the same time, a picket team was formed in the factory area.
Some of the picket teams began to go off-duty and conducted military training.
Live ammunition test firing of artillery and machine guns, as well as driving and maintenance operations of heavy trucks and tracked vehicles during long-distance marches.
Lingel came to power on behalf of the "centrists", and the empire was trying to win over him to ensure that he did not fall to the "radicals"
Of course, the party members suddenly remembered the little brother "Postman" and began to plead with "Postman" to contact the "bandits" in the north so that the north could launch an uprising and provide an example for the national uprising.
...Wei Keng: I am as tall as your mother...
Enma: In line with the common sense of "having a gun in hand and not panic".
"Cooperation is cooperation. If you have guns, we must also have guns. If one day, you don't want to cooperate anymore, some of you who are quite decisive and have no mercy at all will decide to kill us quickly." If we don’t have guns at this time, we will be “cleared” by you, but once we have guns, we can arm-wrestle with you.”
In modern times, based on the experience of Eastern decision-making plans, in any cooperation, when preparing to enjoy "success" with "allies", you should also consider that "former allies" will stab you in the back after "exhaustion".
Politics does not talk about "friendship".
…
In the clean city hall, after Lingel received the local family representatives, Enma also paid a visit. He met him as a "lord" (the leader of the Peasants' Youth Association).
Linger is still very enthusiastic about Enma at this time, and the two parties are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation.
Linger is still adapting to his current new identity. The first is the identity of the new city leader in the city. The second is the identity of suddenly becoming the first pioneer among the revolutionary party to take over the city.
This kind of pleasure at the top of the wave made him feel elated
Relatively speaking, at this time, when other revolutionary parties had not yet obtained the rights to large cities, Linger became the target of competition within the faction.
Of course, this feeling of "power" makes him no longer inclined to "change", but hopes to maintain his current status and become a "neutral coordinator".
After Enma met him, and after the initial comradely courtesy, he saw him take out the letter from the Revolutionary Party Newsletter, and then reminded him.
Enma: Comrade Linger, I think your current situation is very delicate. Please be careful.
Lingel saw Enma's caution and understood that "Enma was not active in supporting other revolutionary comrades", so he began to ask tentatively: "In the current situation, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
Enma: "Slow and steady, our team of workers has not yet completed the first process of production in the city's steel industry. Even if the first process is completed, it can only provide basic steel products and cannot be independent in the military system.
If the empire is willing, at this time, it can completely push out immigrants like you and me who have not yet established a firm foothold. Also, you don't think that the urban aristocratic families you see really support the revolution, do you?
"
Ling Geer tested Enma's attitude of "not wanting to cause trouble" and felt relieved. However, En Ma said that "the foundation is not strong". These unpleasant words made Ling Geer, who wanted to achieve greater development, feel unhappy.
Enma walked up, looked at the vase brought to the hall, weighed it and said, "If they can stand on your side today, they can stand on the empire's side tomorrow."
Linge walked to Enma and handed him a cup of tea.
This was mainly to block Enma's gold-plated claws from picking out the vase.
Lingle: "So when everything is ready, which side are you going to stand on?"
Enma looked at this "comrade" who was born in a small noble family, and thought about it, mainly thinking about his mentality, so as to "speak human words when seeing people, and tell ghosts when seeing ghosts", and finally gave the answer: "We have to stand
On this side of success.”
Lingel raised his teacup: "Let's drink to success."
At this time, Enma raised the empty tea cup that he had finished drinking: "Cheers."
...People of different classes are destined to have difficulty becoming long-term comrades...
The current situation is just as Enma guessed.
In the imperial capital, it was also known at this time that Linger had come to power, and that in the countryside, a group of "bandit army" members were dispatching personnel on a large scale to control the industrialization of factories.
But at this time, the empire had been exported by the revolutionary parties in other large urban areas, and the economy in most areas was out of control, so this chaotic area had to be put aside as a hot potato.
Before Lingel took over the city of Misour, the economy here was completely paralyzed.
This paralysis is entirely the result of the empire.
The empire evacuated all gold and silver coins and other hard currencies from banks in small and medium-sized cities and transferred them to large cities with military-industrial complexes.
In the tumultuous current situation, the upper echelons of the empire also understood that no princess or prince could protect their status. Only the army, steel, and food could defend their status.
In the Imperial Intelligence Agency, Linger's photo was placed in the "neutral faction" column as he came to power. As for the rural gangsters such as the Peasants' Youth Association, they were also temporarily separated from the "most radical faction in the empire"
.
Of course, if Linger dares to jump out blatantly now.
The empire's intelligence personnel will turn them from "neutralists" into "imperial radicals", and the empire is currently lacking someone to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.
...Wei Keng knows that his actions are not blessed by God, so he has been racing against time to deal with various accidents...
At the industrial furnace, the factory is producing and training at the same time.
Various codes in the warehouse were dug out, and the young workers who arrived were memorizing industrial regulations and process parameters that should be kept in mind during production. The core workers who participated in the night school training class brought notebooks.
Made a cheat sheet.
This is an open-book exam, that is, you take the exam with your own notebook to record the data, and you can retain the position of employee.
Enma offers a very generous salary package for this. If you pass the closed-book exam one month later, you will get a bonus and a promotion.
Here at the train station, there is a drill to practice the division and operation of large cargo.
In the wilderness farther north, with the expansion of railways, factories are being built. A steel city of the same type is rising from the ground.
For Enma, entering a big city is a "strategic adventure" for its own side. If someone in the empire insists on a collision, and if the Peasant Youth League is not prepared, then the "strategic adventure" will become "strategic speculation."
But now that I'm well prepared, this "strategic adventure" will be profitable no matter what.
Enma has now arranged the process of strategic transition and evacuation simultaneously. Once the empire is ready to suppress it, it will abandon its bottles and leave. It will also take away some core assets.
During the transfer process: In addition to maintaining industrial materials, experienced personnel were given priority to evacuate, and they even wanted to dismantle the complete set of steel equipment and transport it to the north for a protracted war.
