The Internationale is a magical song, and in all major language versions, all countries around the world have chosen to transliterate, and "Internachonaire" is Internachonel in any country.

At the same time, "international" is the abbreviation of "International Workingmen's Association", which was born in the bloody Paris Commune, and is the voice of the people at the bottom against the totalitarian tyranny, so not only the red countries will sing it, but also the workers in Britain, the United States or France will sing Internachonair.

As the earliest industrial country, the strike of British workers was huge and powerful.

As early as 1912, there was a general strike of one million absentees in Britain, and Parliament was forced to set a minimum wage, which continues to this day.

As recently as 1979, Callaghan's Labour government was defeated by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government, in the famous "Winter of Discontent" strike in British strike history.

Even more coincidentally, in 1984, the more famous "1984-1985 Absenteeism Strike" in the history of British strikes is underway.

The strike, which began in 1984 and lasted for a full year until 1985, had a profound impact on the political ecology of the United Kingdom, and even changed the political ecology of Europe as a whole.

Wells did not need to pay attention to the political changes ahead, he just knew very well that the strike was extremely terrible and that the power of the working class was extremely strong.

Two months ago, more than 10,000 striking miners confronted each other against more than 10,000 policemen at the Oglive coking plant near Rotherlam, and the media widely reported what it called the "Battle of Oglife." In front of media reporters, policemen on horseback repeatedly attacked the miners and seriously injured many miners with batons.

Wells looked around, and the only policeman present was police officer Xiao He, a boy who looked clean and usually loved to laugh, and was the easiest character to die in the movie.

"Zhang, please explain to them that I am just an ordinary company manager, I am not a shareholder of the company, nor am I an executive of the company, if they call for a strike, or ...... There are demands of the revolution, and I have no power to decide on them, and I can only convey their demands if I am returned to England. Wells stumbled to Zhang Sheng.

Yang Rui listened next to him and almost burst into laughter.

Zhang Sheng also felt embarrassed and whispered: "Mr. Wells, there is no revolution happening, everyone is just begging for unpaid wages." ”

"Asking for a salary?"

"Guan Shen, that is, after the head of WestJet was evicted, the factory workers did not get last month's salary. They demanded a salary. ”

"That's it?"

"That's all. ”

Wells breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is the total salary?" Pay them and let them spread out." ”

"They haven't worked for half a month, do they pay their full salary?" Zhang Sheng dutifully demanded of himself as a translator.

Wells asked with some surprise: "Can you not pay the remaining half of the month's salary?"

"I think it should be okay, after all, the work has been stopped for half a month. ”

"Can the union agree?"

"There are no trade unions in China...... No, China's trade unions generally just send something and forget it, and don't do the union's business. ”

"And who's doing the union's business?"

Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said, "There should be no ......"

"Well, give them half a month's salary, and you come to negotiate. Wells hesitated and said, "They're not going to strike." ”

"Of course not, there are no strikes in China. ”

"No?"

"Of course, we are a country where the working class is the master of the country, and the workers are the masters of the country, how can the masters strike. Zhang Sheng said and smiled himself.

Wells calmed down and said, "The Labour Party should really come to China to see." Okay, you negotiate with them, just say that we are willing to pay half a month's salary, and ask them to make way and check the equipment and plant conditions in the factory for us. ”

"Okay. Zhang Sheng is full of ambition, and the Chinese branch of Jielizena has only been established for one year, which is a rare opportunity to show his face.

Yang Rui stood in the crowd, and his face turned red when he listened.

"Tian Shichang, come here. Yang Rui pulled Tian Shichang into the corner, told Zhang Sheng and Wells about the plan of 1510, and said: "You go and tell Director Li about the situation, and in addition, pick up someone who can understand English and send one over." ”

Tian Shichang smiled bitterly: "There are a lot of people who know English, and I don't think there are any people who can understand big-nosed words." ”

Yang Rui then thought that it was still 84 years before the tape recorder was popularized, and if you want to learn a fluent London accent or any dialect, you must at least have heard it. As far as the current conditions in China are concerned, it is said that there are tape recorders, you can't find audio tapes, and even English textbooks are not complete.

In this environment, local factories such as Xibao Meat Factory really can't get English talents.

"Let's find someone who can understand English, and come over to check and fill in the gaps. Yang Rui doesn't want to be a listening translator, on the one hand, he is tired, and the most important thing is to avoid suspicion.

Tian Shichang took the order and left.

He whispered to the workers around him, and the word went out in waves.

After a while, Zhang Sheng and Wells also discussed countermeasures and went to negotiate with the workers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our British representative sent by Terricane, Mr. Wells, and we are now in the spirit of ......"

"Dead!"

"Dead!"

"Dead!"

More than two dozen WestJet workers shouted in unison.

"What?" Zhang Sheng didn't react at once.

The cold sweat on Wells' face was about to run, and he repeated "Death Drag" in English!

Zhang Sheng understood this time, and Death Drag was obviously a transliteration of the strike!

Very clear signal.

"WestJet is on strike!" Wells' white face could not see a trace of blood: "You said that China has not gone on strike." ”

"The year before last, the constitution was amended, and the right to strike was removed. Zhang Sheng explained with a yellow face, panicked in his heart, and desperately recalled what he had learned: "But we also did not prohibit strikes. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, in China, the freedom to strike is not a fundamental right of citizens like in the UK, but that does not mean that any strike is illegal under all circumstances, because our laws do not prohibit strikes......"

"Is that permissible or not?" said Wells, anxious, and the British also had qualitative questions.

Zhang Sheng glanced back at Director Li, then at Team Leader Feng and the others, and said softly: "The current situation is probably allowed." ”

"In this way, only half of the monthly salary will probably not be able to stop the strike?" When the matter came, Wells calmed down, the scenario he feared the most had already happened, what else could he do.

After thinking about it, Wells automatically raised the price and said, "I allow you to give the workers three times their monthly salary, you go and negotiate with them." ”

"Okay. Zhang Sheng was also a little scared.

Yang Rui couldn't hear their conversation now, he was still just watching. The scene in front of them is too pediatric, the British don't know what the situation is, and what the WestJet Factory and the West Fort Meat Factory have to deal with is actually the provincial party committee investigation team, and it doesn't matter what Jielikang thinks.

It should be polite and courteous to the investigation team of the provincial party committee, and rude to Jielikang is enough.
