18th century total war

Chapter 373 Uprising Moment
"Arise, hungry and cold slaves!
Arise, sufferers of the world!

My blood is already boiling, I want to fight for the truth!
............"

In a factory building on the outskirts of London, a group of white people with holy faces gathered together and sang loudly.

Whether it is a humble worker or a high-ranking factory owner, they seem to be sublimated at this moment, staring at the former Union Jack of Great Britain and Ireland on the high platform with piercing eyes.

This is the final stage of their oath and the 'ceremony' before the uprising.

However, just in the middle of the ups and downs of the singing, the people watching outside suddenly rushed into the factory area and shouted loudly: "The lackeys of the Secret Service are here!"

"Damn it!
There are still three hours until the uprising time! "

"Let's fight with them. Everyone is already here. There are our people in the police station in London, and there are also our people in the militia in the countryside. Victory will belong to the British nation!"

As the notorious internal suppression espionage organization of the Europa Federation Empire, the Secret Service Division is as famous as Li Wei's Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei and Dongchang in his previous life, and a certain CPIC under the command of a certain mustache during World War II.

Not to mention foreign spies and domestic revolutionaries, even ordinary people would shudder when they heard the reputation of the Secret Service.

There has always been a widely circulated saying among the people of the Europa Federation Empire-death is the best relief for being caught in the prison of the Secret Service Division!

However, it is such a name that is enough to make children cry, and none of the thousands of revolutionaries here showed a look of fear, at least on the surface...

Even though the weapons in their hands were only some work tools and homemade control knives, not even a gun, their courage was rare.

The Europa Federation empire has strictly implemented the ban on guns from beginning to end. It is called "law and order" in the name, but it is actually to prevent riots.

It's a pity that just banning weapons seems to be unable to stop the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary movement among the people.

The hurried police whistle quickly disrupted the chatter of these revolutionaries. Groups of policemen in black uniforms held Charles III breech-loading rifles in their hands, and wore oval-shaped new policemen who began to be installed in 1820. hat, and rushed into the undefended factory building.

However, within the territory of the Europa Federation, legally, except for Li Wei's palace, all places are not allowed to fortify the Secret Service.

Since receiving the scientific research capabilities transmitted by Xiaobai of the total war system, the Imperial Science Building located in Paris as a scientific research center has continuously introduced various useful weapons and equipment, as well as a small number of civilian facilities.

The scientific research center in Paris does not produce finished weapons, but mature weapon production lines!

Of course, this also means that the Europa Federation Empire has mobilized unimaginable resources to continuously expand production and replace newer production equipment during the rapid technological explosion. In short, it is spending a lot of money.

Not all mature weapons will be mass-produced. The fact that the London police are holding Charles III rifles instead of Types I and II is enough to illustrate the problem.

As for the name of the rifle, it was naturally Levi's name to commemorate his "merit".

All individual rifles were named after Li Wei at his request!

Every weapon that enters mass production needs to be named and reviewed by Levi.

Levi seems to be very keen on the business of naming new weapons.

The Charles III rifle has reached the technology of early bolt-action rifles and can load five rounds of magazines at once, completely ending the intensive tactics of the queuing and shooting era.

In addition, the Charles III rifle also has strong penetrating power, excess effective range (that is, the distance beyond the sight range of soldiers), and a bolt that adapts to various environments to ensure a very low jamming rate, making this rifle Compare the semi-automatic rifle and submachine gun that are still in the laboratory stage!

The reason is simple. The time for the Europa Federation Empire to enter the industrial age is too short. Even if the whole country develops factories and production lines, it is impossible for Levi's empire to support the large-scale deployment of semi-automatic weapons and automatic weapons to consume bullets!
This is still in the absence of war!

Antonio, the captain of the Secret Service Operations Team in a gray coat, led his team members and the deputy chief of the London Metropolitan Police, and walked in after a large number of armed police officers poured into the factory building.

There were so many people who needed to be arrested this time that the secret service team had to mobilize the main force of the City of London Police Department nearby.

When the revolutionary masses in the factory building saw armed police rushing in, it was too late for them to escape. However, the people standing in the front row had generous expressions on their faces, as if the guns pointed at them were toys. .

The eyes of these revolutionary masses did not linger too much on the black-skinned policemen, but instead looked at the members of the Secret Service Operations Team who were coming after them.

For any young person with revolutionary aspirations, the Secret Service Team is their biggest enemy and the executioner who harvests aspiring young people. On the contrary, the police generally have sympathy for these British Youth Party members.

There are even police officers who secretly joined the British Youth Party!

With the progress of the "denationalization" of the Europa Federation Empire, Li Wei's dictatorial ambitions were gradually known to the lower classes, and naturally more and more dissatisfied people.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone knows that the tyrant Li Wei has no heirs, his body is aging, and he doesn't know how many years to live!
So, it was originally a loose organization organized by aspiring young people. I don't know when it started, and it received a steady stream of overseas funds. The source of funds is very complicated. It seems to spread all over the continents. The British Youth Party even received sponsorship from "African Friends"!

God knows where those impoverished black sorghums squeezed out the funds for the revolution...

However, African blacks did have enough use to oppose Li Wei's rule. After the Europa Federation Empire gained world hegemony, only the war against Africa has never stopped. Hundreds of thousands of blacks die every year or die in the Imperial Guard At gunpoint, or dragged into a concentration camp and turned into a lifelong slave.

If the fight continues at this speed, black Africans will be wiped out sooner or later...

Or as a slave, be enslaved by the Europa Federation Empire for generations.

In the Europa Federation Empire, a black person's skin color is a natural slave label, no matter how 'prominent' he once was.

Even the black tribes that voluntarily defected to the Europa Federation Empire were only active as black slave soldiers, and they were restricted to a certain area. Occasionally, under the orders of the Imperial Guards, the whole family moved away to a place closer to the front line. place.

It is obvious that Levi regards these black tribes who have defected to him as cheap cannon fodder...

Therefore, blacks are the group most qualified to oppose Levi's rule!

none of them!

The insurgents gathered together to sing the "Internationale", which made the control of the police very convenient. They only needed to form a police circle to ensure that everyone was under their guns.

Antonio took the deputy chief who was in charge of commanding the police, and several of his followers, to the leader of the rebels and the boss of the factory.

The chief of the London City Police Department is a very busy man, and the team led by Antonio is not the only one in the operation today. Naturally, it is impossible for the chief to follow him.

Compared with the only chief, there are many deputy chiefs in the Metropolitan Police of London.

Antonio looked at the calm-faced factory owner, and couldn't help frowning. The other party's performance was too calm, as if he was not a loser in an uprising!
You know, no matter whether the other party is the revolutionary leader of these thousands of rebels or not, even if the other party is just a young man in the British Youth Party, just because the other party is a well-known factory owner in the Capital District of London is enough to be assigned to the Secret Service A single room, enjoying the fancy 'serving' of the Secret Service for an unknown period of time.

Compared with ordinary people in revolutionary organizations, the penalties imposed by the Europa Federation Empire on those capitalists and social celebrities who participated in the revolution are often dozens of times harsher!
Because Li Wei felt that for ordinary proletarians with no social resources, joining a revolutionary organization would not have much impact. They had neither the funds nor the prestige to carry forward the revolutionary organization. Uprising Front...

On the other hand, those rich people and social celebrities, the former has enough funds to strengthen the revolutionary organization, and the latter has enough reputation to win the hearts of the people. Such talents are the gravediggers who dig the foundation of the empire, and naturally they must be severely punished!
Levi's idea is naturally the core idea of ​​Secret Service.

"Angelet, teach these people a lesson."

Antonio was dissatisfied with the calm expressions of these rebels and ordered to the deputy director behind him.

Even if it is just a sub-captain of the Secret Service Operations Team, he has the power to order the deputy chief of the London Metropolitan Police Department. This is the terrible thing about the spy organization.

Of course, ordinary bureaucrats dare not offend the Secret Service. After all, in addition to suppressing hidden dangers within the empire, the Secret Service also has anti-corruption and anti-corruption departments. Those officials can be found anytime, anywhere.

As a deputy director without real power, Angelet naturally couldn't enjoy the precious quota of administrative enlightenment.

The deputy chief of the police station seems to have a high rank, but in the Europa Federation Empire, it is a very cheap official position. There are dozens of deputy chiefs in the London Metropolitan Police Department!
It's outrageous!

If it weren't for this operation, the London Metropolitan Police Department had to put in a lot of effort in order to cooperate with the Secret Service's operation. As the deputy director Angelet who had no real power, he would not be qualified to stand here with only a few hundred police officers.

There are so many deputy directors, so naturally there are high ranks. The deputy director is more like an official title, and the specific position is their status in the police station.

Unfortunately, Angelet, the deputy director, was originally the Qingshui yamen who managed the files, and was still an ordinary civil file!

Of course, this was also the reason why Angelet did not enjoy the quota of administrative enlightenment.

Li Wei's quota for administrative enlightenment is plentiful, but it is not enough to give every official an appointment. After all, Li Wei still needs to enlighten his beautiful bodyguards, and needs to communicate with his increasingly large scientific research team. Chemicals, and the heads of those military factories!
In order to ensure that military technology will not be leaked, all military factories are directly controlled by the state, not to mention that any ordinary production team leader in it needs to be enlightened by the administration.

As a matter of course, this occupies a large number of administrative enlightenment quotas.

Because of this, so far, not even the vassal states have acquired much military technology from the explosion of industrialized technology in the Europa Federal Empire.

Even muzzle-loading muskets are still being used!
"My lord, what kind of lesson do you want to teach them?"

Angelet asked with a smile.

Antonio's eyes were fixed, and the anxiety in his heart became more intense. When he reached his mouth, he changed his words temporarily: "Take them back for interrogation."

Bang~ bang bang bang...

Antonio looked in disbelief at Angelet who was holding up the 1820 revolver, clutching his shot chest with a puzzled face.

What made Antonio even more unacceptable was that it was not only Angelet, the deputy director of the Qingshui Yamen, who jumped back temporarily, but also other policemen. The dozen or so members of the action team he brought were all shot in the back!

"Young Britannia asked me to bring you greetings.

I wish you a speedy hell! "

"You, you are courting death!
The Imperial Guard will kill all of you traitors..."

Bang bang bang!
Angelet fired three more shots, interrupting Antonio's last words.

The uninformed policemen looked at their colleagues who were pointing their guns at them, and raised their hands in confusion.

At this time, the factory owner and Angelet walked up to the stage together and shouted to the unsuspecting policemen, "We are all fellow Britons, and it was the tyrant Levi who dismembered our motherland and oppressed our fellow citizens.

As glorious Britons, we should unite, rise up against the oppression of the tyrant Levi, and fight for freedom and equality!

Long live Britain! "

"Long live Britain!"

Amid the shouts, the disarmed policemen were also affected by the atmosphere of the scene. After all, many of them also sympathized with the British Youth Party.

Because Li Wei invested a large amount of resources in scientific and technological research and development and military production, the economy of the Europa Federation Empire has been greatly tilted towards the military industry.

In order to reduce costs, taxes on the peasantry began to increase, and a large number of bankrupt peasants were forced to work in factories to increase productivity.

Naturally, it also created a large number of dissatisfied people.

Compared with farmers, the living conditions of workers in this era are undoubtedly worse!

At this time, coupled with the national hatred accumulated by the British in the last war and financial support from overseas, the uprising was inevitable.

Unsurprisingly, Li Wei, who has been working to improve his military strength and prepare for visitors from other worlds who may come anytime and anywhere, has ignored the hidden dangers inside the coastal wall.

A few hours later, before dawn, tens of thousands of people gathered from all directions on the outskirts of London towards downtown London.

The loud and clear "Internationale" resounded throughout the capital area of ​​London.

Thanks to the educators for rewarding 100 starting coins.
