Lin Shangzhou, who was holding back the fire in his belly, returned to the cafeteria, and after seeing the expression on his face, Tees covered his mouth with his hand to hold back his smile, and finally didn't laugh out loud, and Kaiden beside him sneered contemptuously, lowered his head and continued to drink his soup.

Lin Shangzhou returned to his seat and sat down, and Lin Wenhua hurriedly asked with concern: "Shangzhou, what's wrong, what did that management say? He didn't embarrass you

, right?" "That guy said that someone reported me for bullying others, although he didn't say who it was, but I knew that it was either Kaiden or Tees who reported it, and the management is also a guy who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, it's really unlucky

!". After Lin Shangzhou finished speaking, he took a hard bite of the bread in his hand, he hoped to reduce the anger in his heart by eating, if he could, he really wanted to punch the pig in the face, but he knew that he couldn't be impulsive, in case it affected Lin Wenhua and those workers who had a good relationship with him.

Lin Wenhua clenched his fists and comforted helplessly:

"Harm....I knew it would be like this, Shang Zhou, don't be angry anymore, it's not worth getting angry with them."

Lin Shangzhou nodded.

When they spoke, they were in Chinese, and the others couldn't understand it at all, so they didn't bother the two of them, and after the two finished talking, Andy asked with concern: "Brother Filitz, you... It's okay, right?"

Waving his hand slightly, Lin Shangzhou signaled to Andy and the others that he was fine, but the expression and eyes on his face didn't look like "okay" at all.

Andy was very self-blaming and guilty for Lin Shangzhou in his heart, if it wasn't for him being too weak and causing him to be bullied by Tis and others, then Lin Shangzhou would not stand up for himself, if he could be brave and tough and not let Tis bully him, then this kind of thing might not happen.

So he said to Lin Shangzhou with a guilty face:

"I'm sorry, Brother Filitz, you blame me for being too cowardly..."

Before

Andy's words were finished, Lin Shangzhou interrupted him, and then he said earnestly: "But since you realize your cowardice, then remember to change yourself in the future, make yourself brave, not bullied, you are so strong, as long as you make up your mind, I believe you can definitely change."

After listening to Lin Shangzhou's words, Andy secretly flashed tears, and he wiped his tears and nodded vigorously.

(Although he is 16 years old, he is not much different from a child)

Looking at Andy who wiped his tears, Lin Shangzhou thought in his heart.

After eating for a few minutes, he asked the workers around him, "You haven't thought about what to do because the wages have not been paid enough for so long

?" "What to do?"

The workers around him were stunned for a moment, and then looked at him suspiciously.

"For example, complaining to the government, protesting to the administrators, and going on strike, haven't you ever thought of doing these things?"

Hearing Lin Shangzhou mention the complaints, protests, and strikes, the workers shook their heads with embarrassment on their faces.

They made Lin Shangzhou very puzzled, complaints, protests, strikes are all the legitimate and reasonable demands of the workers, why did they all shake their heads?

He asked puzzledly:

"Do you not want to or do you dare?"

None of the workers answered his question, at this time Huo Wen came over, and the workers on Lin Shangzhou's left stood up very consciously to make room for him, and after thanking him, Huo Wen sat down.

He looked into Lin Shangzhou's eyes and said, "Both."

"Both?"

"Brother Huo Wen, are you saying that everyone neither wants nor dares to do this?"

Lin Shangzhou asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Hmm.

Howen nodded.

Lin Shangzhou can understand the reason why the workers dare not do this, on the one hand, they do not necessarily succeed, and on the other hand, they will be retaliated against by the factory after the matter is over, so why don't they want

to do it? Although there is overlap between not wanting to do it and not daring to do it, there is still a difference between the two.

Lin Shangzhou asked Huo Wen puzzled: "Then why don't you want to do this? I can understand if you don't dare to do it, but why don't you want to do it?"

Huo Wen looked at the workers, sighed and said to Lin Shangzhou:

"Because we are all waiting for the government to send someone to inspect the factory, and when the time comes, we will naturally put forward these opinions to the inspectors, and then change our treatment."

"Huh

?" Lin Shangzhou looked incredulous, just because of such a simple reason, when the government sent someone to inspect the factory, they didn't think about what if the government didn't plan to inspect the factory, what if the factory owner had something to do with it?

"Then did the government send someone to inspect it?"

Huo Wen shook his head.

"Then what are you waiting for? It's better to report to the government or strike than to wait now?"

Lin Shangzhou said puzzled, because there were other people in the cafeteria, his voice was not loud, only the people around him could hear it, and if someone like Tiskaden heard it, it would be troublesome.

"It's useless to report.

A middle-aged man in his forties shook his head at Lin Shangzhou.

"No, why is

it useless?" Lin Shangzhou looked at him and asked, he knew that sometimes it was really useless to report, just like when the school pressurized students in high school, some students called the Municipal Education Bureau and the mayor to report, and then the student was punished, and the school did not change in the slightest.

But the example he gave is not the whole story: Alsace is the territory of the SPD, and it is impossible for the SPD not to defend the interests of the workers, and the fact that this party can enjoy high support in the Alsace Lorraine region shows that he will deal with these problems.

With a bitter look on the man's face, he replied, "The factory administrator has a thug at the report box, and if anyone dares to go and stuff the report letter into it, they will go up and stop the man and beat him."

He opened his mouth as he spoke, revealing his teeth, and there were two less teeth under him, Lin Shangzhou also understood the meaning of his doing, he tried to stuff the report letter, but was beaten by the thugs arranged by the factory.

"Fuck...."

Lin Shangzhou clenched his fists hard, he didn't expect the factory to arrange it like this, but this is also in line with the reality.

"What about the strike? Didn't you think about a strike? As long as you unite, the strike will definitely succeed!" Huo

Wen pressed his shoulder and shook his head.

"Filitz, I know I really want to do something, but you listen to me first..."

Lin Shangzhou quieted down and waited for Huo Wen to speak.

"I have participated in many strikes in the past, and I have tried to organize strikes, but the strikes I have tried to organize have all failed because they could not convince the workers to unite

Speaking of the strike, Huo Wen's face was full of loss and exhaustion, and his words also made Lin Shangzhou's heart cold.

No one can defeat the united workers, except the workers themselves.

If the workers can't unite, then a few workers, as well as those who have been bribed, Lin Shangzhou is very angry at what they have done, but there is nothing to be done, people are selfish, the purpose of the strike is to make their own treatment better, and it is normal for them to be bought by the factory boss.

Lin Shangzhou briefly summarized the reasons why the workers refused to report the strike and other ways to protect their interests:

1. Believing that the government would deal with it, and fearing retaliation from the boss after the failure.

2. The workers are not united enough, and there is a lack of a leader and determined organizer to lead the workers on strike.

3. Lack of guidance, no scientific program of action and clear strike goals.

After summing up, Lin Shangzhou suddenly thought of one thing, this is the gathering place of the German left, not only the SPD, a party that the left dislikes the left and the right does not think is enough right, but there are also many other German left-wing groups active underground, such as the syndicalists.

Didn't they guide

the workers' strike? With this question in mind, Lin Shangzhou leaned close to Huo Wen's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Huo Wen, didn't the syndicalists help the workers to go on strike?"

Huo Wen's heart trembled, he didn't expect Lin Shangzhou to ask this question.

Whether he helped or not, the answer is yes, he himself had contact with the syndicalists, but the syndicalists only helped them with off-site guidance, and did not personally send people to organize and lead the strike.

That is to say, it helped, but not much.

He nodded and replied in a low voice: "Of course they helped, but they only told the organizers what to do, offered some advice, but did not lead us to strike."

After listening to Huo Wen's answer, Lin Shangzhou's impression of the German syndicalists instantly decreased a lot, they could have helped organize and lead the strike, but they chose the minimum help, that is, only to provide advice.

Lin Shangzhou roared in his heart, he knew that the German syndicalists must have their reasons for doing this, but he was still very angry.

"Fritz, don't think about these things, work in peace.

Huo Wen said earnestly and persuasively.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Shangzhou finally shook his head, it was impossible for him not to think about these things, now the external forces (the German left) could not be relied on, the workers of this factory could only rely on themselves, and there were also thieves like Tiskaden among the workers, which made it more difficult for the workers to unite.

(It's hard...)

Seeing Lin Shangzhou shaking his head, Huo Wen gave up the idea of continuing to persuade in his heart, and he told Lin Shangzhou:

"Forget it, you have your own ideas, but you must not let Kaiden and them know, and don't let them catch your handle." "

Well, I know, thank you big brother for the reminder.

Then Huo Wen got up and left, and after lunch, Lin Shangzhou returned to the dormitory and lay down on his bed to rest, he closed his eyes and thought about these things.

In fact, his goal has been achieved, investigating the treatment and living conditions of factory workers, living in the factory for a week, Lin Shangzhou has figured out how the factory workers are treated and what their living conditions are.

If he wanted to, he could quit his job now, go home, write the report, and continue to live a good life in the newspaper, and he could report the treatment of the workers to the government after he went out.

But Lin Shangzhou doesn't want to do this, if he reports to the government, who knows how the government will deal with it, when it will deal with it, and whether it will really deal with it.

He wanted to do something for the workers here, the workers were simple and kind people, they were people who worked hard to earn money to support their families, and they didn't deserve to be treated like this.

The dormitory environment is poor, although the smell of feet, snoring and the smell of heather are the problems of the workers themselves, but this is also caused by their long working hours, working nine hours during the day and two hours at night, even he, a person who loves cleanliness, does not want

to seriously wash his feet and brush his teeth before going to bed at night, not to mention these workers? If there are no two hours at night when he does not have to work, Lin Shangzhou believes that the workers will definitely be willing to seriously wash their feet and brush their teeth.

On the food... The only thing that doesn't have much of a problem in this factory is the food, although it doesn't taste very good, but it can feed the workers, and the most important thing is to eat and live, which he can't think of anything bad.

And so on....

Lin Shangzhou opened his eyes suddenly, he thought of one point, food and shelter is also one of the reasons why the workers do not want to protest the strike, although they will be in arrears of wages, but the workers will never starve, and if they are not hungry, they will naturally not have too strong resistance psychology.

Oh, the boss is quite smart....

Lin Shangzhou snorted coldly and thought in his heart.

The most important area is the issue of wages, the factory has been in arrears for a long time, and he has reason to believe that the factory will not pay back the wages that have not been paid in the past few months.

Lin Shangzhou hopes that every worker can get the wages they deserve, that the working and living conditions of the workers can be better, and that there are no managers like the fat pig in the factory.

But what is he going to do?

He put his hands behind his head and looked at the top of his bed in deep thought.

You can't...

Lin Shangzhou had this idea in his mind, and he organized the workers to go on strike, and after this idea came up, he couldn't help laughing at himself, which was a bit whimsical.

Just

before his self-deprecating smile disappeared, Lin Shangzhou suddenly thought of the reason why the workers did not want to strike.

The first point is that the workers are afraid of the boss's retaliation, the workers are afraid but he is not afraid, even if he fails, it doesn't matter if the boss holds him accountable, he doesn't make money from this job.

As for believing in the government or not, it doesn't matter to him.

The second point is that the workers are not united enough, there is no leader and a strong will to organize and lead the workers' strike, he is a little skeptical about his leadership, but his will is firm, it is impossible for the boss to buy him at that time, he has a good job in the newspaper and his novels are constantly making money, and the conditions offered by the factory boss will attract him?

As for the issue of workers' unity, Lin Shangzhou believes that as long as he tells the workers that he will take all the responsibilities and then persuade the workers, then most of the workers will definitely be willing to believe him and follow him.

Thirdly, the lack of guidance of the workers, the lack of a scientific programme of action and the aim of the strike, partly due to the lack of adequate help from the syndicalists and the general low level of education of the workers.

Lin Shangzhou thinks that his education level is higher than that of the workers in the factory, and of course this is not to belittle the workers.

He can set detailed strike goals for the workers, so that the workers know what they are striking for and what to do, and this "guidance"... Forehead... As for the program of action, Lin Shangzhou knew that he could not formulate a program of action that was as powerful as the revolutionaries of the older generation, but it was still possible to formulate a program of action suitable for the workers of this factory to use during the strike.

Lin

Shangzhou's heart gradually became excited, his body trembled a little because of the excitement, if he made up his mind, he would organize and lead a strike, which was something he had never thought of.

He

encouraged himself again in his heart and straightened up to look around at the workers in the dormitory who were taking their lunch break, their snoring was still so strange and noisy that he couldn't sleep.

And after looking at the workers like this, Lin Shangzhou's eyes and thoughts were much firmer.

Lin Shangzhou made up his mind to lead the workers on strike, his eyes and heart became extremely firm, and his heart became hot, and Lin Shangzhou at this moment had their shadows on his body.

And the determination he made today for the sake of the workers of this factory changed his fate, the fate of Germany, and even the fate of the world.
