Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

In a federation where money is paramount, the Pinkerton Detective Agency does not exist to fight criminals.

On the contrary, the members they serve are mainly big capitalists, rich people, and tycoons.

To put it simply, they only serve rich people.

In the late 19th century, Pinkerton detectives were hired by business owners to spy on workers, sometimes protecting scabs or pretending to be scabs. They are also often directly involved in suppressing strikes.

The Homestead Strike is the Pinkerton Detective Agency's most notorious incident, the 1892 strike at the Carnegie Steel Company in Pennsylvania.

Since steel magnate Andrew Carnegie was in Scotland and not in the Commonwealth at the time, the company's chairman, Henry Clay Frick, temporarily took over his work.

In order to break the strike, he hired Pinkerton detectives to deal with it, and the Homestead strike lasted for 143 days.

On July 1892, 7, 6 Pinkerton detectives from New York and Chicago arrived at the site where strikers occupied the steel mill.

The detectives opened fire on the workers, killing 10 people (7 on the striking side and 3 on the Pinkerton side) and injuring hundreds.

In order to restore law and order, the governor of Pennsylvania even dispatched two brigades of state soldiers to clean up the mess.

Because Pinkerton detectives were dealing with more and more bloodshed during the strike, in 1893, the federal Congress passed the Anti-Pinkerton Law, which prohibited the government from becoming scabs, revoked Pinkerton's judicial enforcement powers, and restricted the peace. Detective Cotton's powers.

Fighting criminals is just an occasional pastime for Pinkerton detectives. Even so, all criminals in the West are afraid of Pinkerton detectives.

However, the various workers' unions are not afraid of them, because the bad incident at the beginning caused all unions to hate Pinkerton deeply. If they can get any clue about Detective Pinkerton, they will definitely protest strongly against it.

In fact, the current Pinkerton Detective Agency fires a large number of agents every year because with the decline in business and power, they can no longer afford the wages of too many agents.

David first mentioned Sheriff Malloy and then moved out of the union, which was a suppression of Milton.

I have to say that this effect is still very obvious.

When talking about Sheriff Malloy, Milton and Ross's expressions did not change much, but when they talked about the union, their surprise was very obvious.

"It seems that Mr. David has spent a lot of time and money getting to know us. It is hard to imagine that these words would come from the mouth of a notorious criminal."

"I even wondered if the file I had seen had been replaced by someone."

"Does Mr. David still think that there is nothing we can do against you now? You must know that we are being hired by the tycoon, Mr. Leviticus Cornwall."

"You robbed Mr. Cornwall's train and his bonds. Do you think you can get away with it?"

Milton stared at David and said in a low voice.

David just smiled at this: "Maybe Mr. Milton needs to get the law enforcement powers down first. As far as I know, some of Mr. Cornwall's things in New Hanover are not going so smoothly."

"In Mr. Milton's mouth, he kept calling me a notorious criminal. This is very rude."

"Aren't you working for a criminal? Don't tell me that the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which has such powerful intelligence capabilities, didn't know about the fire in the small town of Limpani."

"So don't act so righteous, okay, Mr. Milton."

"Also, Mr. Ross, the look in your eyes offends me."

"In the Federation, no matter what happens, you have to pay attention to evidence, right?"

The small town of Limpani, the burned-out town located not far northwest of Horseshoe Lookout.

The man behind the fire was Leviticus Cornish.

This matter is actually not a big secret. Many high-ranking people know something about it, but no one bothers Cornwall because of this matter.

The path to rise for most of the federal tycoons or tycoons has never been clean and is stained with the blood of others.

When he heard these words, Ross's eyes almost burst out with fire. He really wanted to shoot David to death in front of him.

"Ross, you should be polite. You are a gentleman in front of us."

"Mr. Callander, the information you have really surprised me. It's hard to imagine that someone like you would join the Van der Linde Gang."

"As for other things, I think there is no need to say more. The purpose of our coming here this time is to hope that Mr. Callander can hand over Dutch. We will not pursue the other members of the gang."

"If Mr. Callander is willing, I think we would be a good partner."

"Besides, judging from the information we have so far, Mr. Callander and Dutch are already on different paths, right?"
