The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo listened quietly, dissatisfied with Cass Langton in his mind, even if he didn’t come in his opinion, with the power of Jason’s current porter union president, plus the position of the Nelsons in Port Saite, it was enough Solve the threat of Cass Rant easily.

　　Despite this, Leo simply asked, "Do you need me to help you solve this trouble?"

　　 "No, no, it's just a little trouble." Lisa shook her head quickly and refused Leo's kindness.

Since she got along with Jason, she has heard all the deeds about Leo from Jason’s mouth more than once, knowing that Leo is a person with special skills, just like some weird people who have encountered in her tavern, But she doesn't think Leo can solve Jason's troubles well.

In her view, Leo’s solution to the trouble is to solve the trouble maker, but it is not the best way to solve Cass Rant, but it will cause Jason to become a freight terminal manager. .

Because now almost all interested people know that Cass Langt is in trouble with Jason, ready to kick out the weakest candidate on his list, this time Cass Langt is going to happen, surely will It is believed to be done by Jason.

　　Although this does not necessarily make Jason lose its candidacy, it will definitely affect the decision-makers' views. After all, any city manager does not like to see a man using such drastic means to solve his competitors.

　　 Leo easily saw through Lisa's thoughts, and he didn't have any idea to explain, just smiled indifferently.

　　 Perhaps it was because she refused to be too direct. Lisa felt that Leo would be displeased, so she asked some questions about Leo's situation in order to ease the dull atmosphere in the room.

　　 For this, Leo had never thought about alleviating the atmosphere. For Lisa’s inquiries, the answer was always very simple, but it made the atmosphere even more dull, even a little awkward.

"I'll see if he has arrived." Finally Lisa couldn't find a suitable topic to talk anymore, she could only stand up, just made an excuse, and hurriedly left the room, leaving only two of her men to wait In this embarrassing room.

　　 Leo didn't say anything. He sat quietly in the chair and looked at the furnishings in the room. His eyes fell on the newspaper rack beside the desk, so he got up and took a few newspapers to read.

As one of the largest port cities in the Kingdom of England, Seth Port is the city that has the most contact with the outside world, as well as the city with the largest number of foreigners who settled and traveled the most. Port of Kaisett, so as a world-class port city, urban newspapers naturally appear diversified. The same newspaper has English, French, Sigma, and other world language versions, and each The content of the imprint is different, involving almost all kinds of things in all countries of the world.

For example, Leo saw from a newspaper that a worker riot occurred in the Kingdom of Maris half a month ago. This riot affected the entire Kingdom of Maris, and it had a great impact on the Kingdom’s industry. To make matters worse, the Kingdom of Marais failed to quell the riot for the first time, gradually expanding the riot and forming a batch of workers' armed forces.

The Kingdom of Maris is the largest industrial kingdom in the world of Velen. The latest steam engines are all manufactured by the Kingdom of Maris. Workers can be said to be the cornerstone of this country, but the status of workers in the Kingdom of Maris is not high. It can be said that it is very low, and some are even inferior to the private serfs of some noble masters.

Every day, workers will do much more heavy work than ordinary people. They live in small and dirty places, and even eat moldy or expired things. The mood of the entire worker group has been backlogged to the limit, just like a volcano that will erupt at any time. , Just waiting for a crack to appear on the top of the head, and this worker riot is the best opportunity to detonate the entire group of workers in the Kingdom of Marais.

For ordinary people in Port Sait, they only saw the chaos of the Kingdom of Maris, just like reading a novel, but after reading it, they forgot, and would not vote for what is happening in the Kingdom of Maris. Take care, after all, the Kingdom of Marais is too far away from the Kingdom of Inge.

For businessmen, the chaos in the Kingdom of Maris allows them to see various business opportunities, because as the largest industrial kingdom of Velen, the workers' riots mean that the factory is shut down, so that various industries related to the Kingdom of Maris The demand for products will inevitably exceed the supply, and the price will definitely skyrocket, so they all think of hoarding a piece of goods immediately, waiting for the price to reach the peak, and making a fortune.

And the war merchants among the merchants will become excited because of this news, because now the kingdom of Marais is bound to fall into war. All strategic materials, whether it is drugs or weapons, are profiteering goods. They have already rubbed their hands and prepared to scrape a fierce stroke from both sides of the war in the Kingdom of Marais.

　　 Those who are uneasy about the peaceful world will be glad to see the war after seeing this news. They will gather under the war of both parties to fight for their respective ideas, and will also gain money and power through war.

However, after Leo saw the news, there was a subtle feeling that he could feel that the worker riots appeared to be sudden, but the aftermath caused by the worker riots seemed to have a pair of big hands guiding things towards The direction of development is getting out of control.

For example, the riot was initially caused by a worker’s accidental death at work. A workers’ mutual aid organization requested some pension from the factory owner for this worker, but the factory owner refused the organization’s request and let the factory’s security guard drive the worker away. Organized people and other onlookers cause conflicts.

It stands to reason that such a conflict will not cause too much trouble, because the factory owners of the Kingdom of Maris have rich experience in dealing with such things, they only need to buy the leader of the workers’ mutual aid organization, and then make some coaxes among the workers. If people solve it, the fluctuation will quickly subside.

But something happened that night, the factory owner of that factory was attacked by masked workers at home, including the factory owner's family, bodyguards and servants, more than 30 people were killed, especially the factory owner's family. He was brutally abused before he died.

　　If the deceased is just a general factory owner, the local city hall will arrest some established workers. Whether they are guilty or not, they will be tried and found guilty, and then executed to suppress the workers’ will to resist.

　　 But the problem is that the factory owner is also a member of the municipal council. His wife is also one of the dead and the daughter of a large nobleman in the Kingdom of Marais. Then the matter becomes a little different.

The city hall dispatched troops and police to capture all the workers in that factory aimlessly, regardless of whether the worker was guilty or not, and selected more than one hundred prestigious workers from it, promptly tried, sentenced to death, and others Workers were even fined for mining in the mines, which is even cruel than direct death penalty.

After the sentence was issued, the workers in the whole city were irritated, and then several prestigious workers among the workers shouted their arms, leading the workers to raid the arsenal and barracks in the city, quickly armed, captured the prison, and rescued the imprisoned workers .

　　 The original worker leaders were prepared to stop there, and then negotiated with the established factory owner organization before deciding what to do next.

What they didn’t think was that although they were the lighters, the fire’s trend was not under their control. Their success seemed like an opportunity to other wait-and-see workers’ organizations. In an instant, all the workers’ organizations in the city launched a riot and attacked. In the wealthy area of ​​the city, all the usual honest workers turned into thugs, not only robbed shops and apartments, but also stepped on the feet of the big men they could only look up to, abused, ravaged, and finally killed. Not only the factory owner, but also ordinary merchants were not spared, so all retreats were blocked by this runaway riot.

The most strange thing is that the news of the workers’ riot was blocked throughout the Maris Kingdom within a short period of time, and the entire city of Maris was still transmitted in a short period of time, which eventually turned the small riots in a city into enough to subvert a world. Great power riots.

When Leo saw this report here, he had thought of the man behind the incident, and he also thought of the two people or countries most likely to do it, the French Empire and the French United Kingdom, Louis X and Rupert Fitz.

With the division of the French Empire, the crown of the first strong landlord on the head of the French Empire for many years has been crumbling. Although the army of the French Empire has not suffered too much because of the division, it still has a strong army, but it has lost With the support of businessmen and industry in West France, the French Empire has been unable to support such a large army of military expenses, and there have been voices within the French Empire to abolish the army and reduce its financial burden.

There is no doubt that once the French Empire withdrew the army, the crown of the first land-based power must definitely be transferred to other countries. Among the more than twenty countries in the Velon world, the most likely to bear this crown is the industrial power. The Kingdom of Maris.

Therefore, the French Empire is definitely the country that is most willing to see the Kingdom of Maris in turmoil. It will also do something to make the Kingdom of Maris in turmoil. Such a turmoil will be enough to shake the Kingdom of Maris, whether it is ultimately successful or not. And the surrounding countries will take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Marais. The final result will only be that the Kingdom of Marius will withdraw from the ranks of powerful countries and will no longer be qualified to bear the title of the land's first powerful country.

As for Rupert Fitz, there are enough reasons to control this matter. A long time ago, Rupert Fitz had planned to let his secretly controlled workers' organization enter the Kingdom of Marais, but the result ended in failure. The power hierarchy of the entire Maris Kingdom, even those who accepted the bribe of Rupert Fitz, opposed it, which made the world’s largest worker kingdom without a unified and complete workers’ organization. There are only some workers’ mutual aid associations limited to a certain factory.

This matter has always been recorded in the heart of Rupert Fitz, and has been mentioned from time to time in some public places, taking the opportunity to show concern for the poor treatment of the workers of the Kingdom of Maris and occasionally mocking the Kingdom of Maris It is a variant of slavery.

Also because of some excessive words by Rupert Fitz, some factory owners and nobles of the Kingdom of Marais, with the acquiescence of the country, used some extraordinary means to deal with Rupert Fitz, including one assassination, even Almost killed Rupert Fitz, so Rupert Fitz and the lords of the Kingdom of Maris can be said to be deadly enemies. Once they have the opportunity to deal with the Kingdom of Maris, they will never let go.

Judging from the timing of the riots in various parts of the Kingdom of Marais, it is clear that there is a trace of contact with each other, and there are plans in advance, and from the point of their riots, they are all targeted attacks on arsenals, military camps and police stations. Control the violent organizations and weapons of the entire city, and then take over the entire city. The methods are the same and the same. There is no doubt that there must be a big force in the dark.

Can have a very influential role among the workers, and silently establish an underground force that expands to the entire Maris Kingdom. The entire Velen world except Rupert Fitz, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is almost not There may be others who can do it.

Leo is not interested in where the Kingdom of Maris will go because of the workers’ movement. He is concerned about the adverse effects of the chaos in the Kingdom of Maris on the elderly Rembrandt, because the elderly Rembrandt has penetrated into Mozambique this time. In addition to his own funding, the expedition of the wasteland has several main sponsors. These sponsors are all from the Kingdom of Marais. Most of the members of the adventure team and bodyguards are also from the Kingdom of Maris.

The news of the unrest in the Kingdom of Marais may not have transmitted such a remote place in the Mossland wilderness, but sooner or later this news will reach there. There will definitely be some confusion in the expedition, and the old Rembrandt may also More or less, it will be affected, and then those adventurers and treasure hunters who are interested in the things in the monuments will take the opportunity to make trouble, and the old Rembrandt may encounter some dangers.

It's just that, thinking of Rembrandt's old man, Leo couldn't help but look at the feather in his storage space. He didn't like the feeling of being in debt, so that he had an urge to go to Mozambique and find Lun. Old Man Brown handed the feather to him to settle the debt, but in the end he endured this impulsive emotion, following the original choice and staying in Port Saite for a while.

Just as Leo looked at the newspaper in his hand, a rapid and heavy footsteps came from the door, and then the door of the office was rudely pushed open. Jason's huge body appeared at the door, and his face was full of beard. After looking at Leo, he showed a child-like smile, strode forward, hugged Leo, said with a big smile, "I know, I know You will be fine!"
