Fox of France

Chapter 354 , Repression

On the second day after the London Police Department issued a deadline for rectification notice to the "Textile Workers' Union", the "Textile Workers' Union" submitted a letter of protest to the London Police Department. In this letter of protest, the "Textile Workers' Union" declared that the so-called "Trade Union Law" passed by the British government is a flagrant violation of natural human rights, because it is an invalid and evil law that violates natural law. The "Union of Textile Workers" will never submit to such a heinous law. and will continue to exercise their rights.

Sir Huey immediately turned his face. He said that this was a flagrant contempt for the laws of the United Kingdom, and immediately ordered the arrest of the representative of the "Textile Workers' Union".

Immediately afterwards, the "Textile Workers' Union" launched a general strike again. The London police department was obviously prepared for this, they immediately announced that this was an "act of rebellion", and then immediately issued an order to "counter the rebellion".

Having been prepared for a long time, more than 5,000 British troops, led by the police, immediately entered the workers' area to "counter the rebellion."

In front of a dilapidated old house, the office of the "Textile Workers Union", the workers who heard the news blocked the troops who came to "counter the rebellion".

"I order you to disperse immediately, otherwise, you will be punished for the crime of rebellion!" Austin Battalion Commander held a command knife and shouted at the crowd in front of them.

The crowd stood still.

"Cavalry, get on your horse and get ready! Other troops, get ready for battle!" Commander Austin ordered.

A group of cavalry mounted their horses and made the appearance of preparing to charge. Of course, they did not directly use deadly weapons such as sabers, but all replaced them with bludgeons. But with the power of the horse, even a bludgeon is quite deadly.

And those infantrymen also raised their guns, pointing their black muzzles at the workers.

"I'll give you one minute now, if you still don't disperse after one minute, we will take compulsory measures!" Battalion Commander Austin continued to threaten.

Facing the menacing cavalry, the crowd panicked a little. Everyone was not sure whether these guys would really suppress it.

At this time, there was some commotion behind the crowd, the door of the office of the "Textile Workers' Union" opened, and several people came out from inside. The masses of workers also took the initiative to make way for them.

At the forefront was Fagin. He went to the front and said to the workers: "Scatter, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. But the strike must continue until the final victory is won."

Then he turned to Austin and said, "I am Kolya, the president of the Textile Workers Union."

Austin stared at Fagin's face for a while, then grinned grinningly and said, "Catch him!"

Two policemen were going to come up and catch Fagin. Fagin calmly looked at the approaching policeman, and did not intend to resist. But at this moment, a gunshot rang out suddenly.

With the sound of the shot, a policeman who was approaching Fagin fell headlong to the ground.

This turn of events was completely unexpected by the crowd, but Battalion Commander Austin was an experienced officer who had fought in Ireland, and his hands were stained with the blood of "untrained Irish rebels". He responded immediately:

"Fire! Fire and return fire!"

The soldiers then opened fire on the crowd.

The scene suddenly filled with gunpowder smoke, screams, shouts, and weeping.

"Cavalry! Charge!" Austin ordered again.

So the cavalry rushed up, and the tall war horses knocked down the workers one by one to the ground, and even trampled over them. The cavalry brandished big sticks and hit the workers head-on and face-to-face. Almost every time a bat is swung, a worker falls to the ground covering his head.

During the first round of shooting, Fagin, who was standing in the front, was hit by several bullets. At such a distance, facing so many guns, no matter how good Fei Jin's skills are, it is useless. This world is not a world where "you have science, I have magic skills". No matter how good a person's skill is, it is useless when facing a killing machine like the army.

After the cavalry charged, the infantry began to follow up, using bayonets and rifle butts to severely teach those rebels who did not know the heights of heaven and earth...

Who fired the shot that triggered the incident? All parties have their own opinions. According to those British newspapers, it was naturally those mobs who took the initiative to provoke, and then the loyal British army fought back, completely crushing the conspirators' rebellion, maintaining the order of the United Kingdom, and protecting the stable and united life of the English people...

Of course, there are some tabloids trying to publish some irresponsible news, slandering the just actions taken by the British government to protect the country and the people. However, the police department in England had expected it a long time ago, and they quickly revoked the business licenses of these newspapers, making them shut up honestly.

Of course, there are also more troublesome, that is, those newspapers with a French background. Sealing them up directly would cause big trouble. But the British still have a way, they can't directly manage the French newspapers, can't they also manage the printing houses that print newspapers for the French? Those French newspapers did not have their own printing houses, so they put pressure on the printing houses not to let the printing houses print newspapers with reports on relevant news.

But this did not bother the French. They simply added black boxes to the entire first page of the newspaper and opened the skylight, leaving only one word on the entire front page: obituary.

In France, the French propaganda machine was at full capacity, and it made a comprehensive criticism of the British crimes. According to the French media, what the British said was that the workers shot first and they were really deceiving everyone as mentally retarded. How dare a group of unarmed workers open fire in the face of tens of thousands of troops armed to the teeth? What's more, many people saw that Mr. Kolia, the president of the "Textile Workers' Union" at that time, had come forward and tried to negotiate with the army. The workers were stupid to shoot at this time. We advise the British media, if you are not skilled enough in lying, don't force yourself to lie. We don't dislike the British lying - after all, this is their unchangeable nature - but you can't insult our IQ with such stupid lies!

However, these accusations can only be published in France. In the UK, the French newspapers can still only open their windows. The British also seized the time and searched for "rebels" everywhere. Soon, the prisons in London were full of people, and because the prisons were overwhelmed, the police department issued a new order. As a result, there have been a large number of "violent resistance to arrest" in London, and then "killed on the spot".

According to the French, in just half a month, in London alone, more than 1,000 workers were beaten to death, and more than 10,000 people were imprisoned. The situation in London is even worse than during the September massacre. It's even more terrifying.

Of course, the French report must have been exaggerated, but the British statement that only a dozen people died in this series of events must be nonsense.

However, it is not true that the French media's reports in France cannot affect the United Kingdom. "Scientific Pravda" called the cloth from England "blood-stained cloth", and other newspapers followed suit, calling on Europeans to refuse to use British goods.

Immediately afterwards, French Foreign Minister Talleyrand summoned the British ambassador and made representations to the British government on the humanitarian crisis in the UK. Then the French State Council announced that they will hold hearings on the appalling acts against humanity in the UK. It is said that the French State Council is preparing to pass a bill authorizing the government to impose economic sanctions on the UK.

The British, of course, protested loudly against French interference in British internal affairs. However, on the other hand, the police department's efforts to track down the "treacherous" have also obviously relaxed. Of course, the British expressed their opposition to France's threat of economic sanctions, and even declared that if the French dared to impose sanctions on Britain, then Britain would impose counter-sanctions on France. However, as soon as the words fell, before the French side reacted much, the British stock market came first and fell first.
