Roar of the Pirate Fire Dragon

Chapter 687 Awakening Part 1

It was early morning, or rather dawn, the sky was just getting bright, and when most people were sleeping soundly, this was Yonglongya Island, one of the three largest islands in the Fire Dragon Kingdom.

"wu"

With the sound of sirens piercing the sky, this port city has come to life again. The dense flow of people is like a tide flowing out of the low buildings on the side of the city near the coast. At first, it is a small tributary. Then gradually converge into a huge ocean current.

Then, at the end, they began to disperse again, like the tide hitting the rocks, and they were no longer as dense as before.

Jack was like a drop of water in the waves, not conspicuous at all. His upper body was naked, revealing some dark and strong muscles. His eyes were gentle and calm. What was very inconsistent was that he was holding a book in his hand. , it is completely unclear what words are written on the cover, but what can be seen is that this book has a bright red cover.

"Oh Brother Jack"

Suddenly, a young and high-pitched voice sounded from behind.

"be careful"

Looking back at the young boy who squeezed through the crowd, Jack showed a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry Alan."

"Hahaha, good morning, Brother Jack"

His name is Allen, he is 15 years old, and he is Jack's co-worker in the factory. This little devil's father has died many years ago, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other. Because he is very pitiful, Jack usually takes good care of him, so of course Yes, this kid also treats him as his closest relative.

"Hey, are you still reading this book?"

Allen looked at the book in Jack's hand with some surprise, and said, "Brother Jack, is this so interesting?"

"It's not interesting, Alan, it's not interesting at all,"

Jack smiled softly and closed the book in his hand. The factory they worked in was already in front of him. Jack nodded to the people around him from time to time, and those people would smile back in the same way. Jack's popularity was very good, and for a long time That's how it was before.

“It’s not interesting at all”

Jack spoke with emotion, looking around at the bustling crowd, "Where does such a thing come from?"

“I don’t understand what you are saying”

Allen blinked.

"Never mind,"

Jack smiled, "Let's go, it's time to work."

"kindness"

Allen nodded heavily.

The factory where the two work is a factory that produces muskets. In this chaotic era, if you want to say what is the best-selling thing on the sea, of course it is weapons. The weapons manufacturing industry has always been a huge profit industry. The royal family that rules this island Of course I don’t want to miss it.

Of course, the work in the factory is very hard. It is not strange to work overtime from morning to night and into the early morning. The royal family will do anything for profit.

After all, legally speaking, everything in this country, whether people or things, is the private property of the royal family. If the royal family can give them a salary, it is already worthy of them.

This is how it should be, but Jack always felt that something was wrong. There must be something wrong. Why do they have to use up all their energy every day and do everything they can to get a salary that is enough to live on? It should obviously be It’s more than enough.

Why don’t those royal people do anything?

It is obviously wrong to invest capital and get unimaginable returns by allowing the Fire Dragon Pirates to build factories in their own country without doing anything.

Jack was deeply puzzled.

But soon, his doubts began to be gradually solved after the Fire Dragon TV station started broadcasting, and he accidentally got the book in his hand from a sailor from the sea.

Jack already had some idea of ​​what was wrong.

The working hours in the morning lasted from six in the morning to one in the afternoon. Then, the factory workers finally had 10 minutes to eat. After 10 minutes, the guards hired by the arrogant royal family would immediately take over the workers who were still there. The eaters rushed back to the workshop, and if they resisted they would be severely beaten, or even bloody.

Sitting on the floor next to the machine tool in the workshop, Jack did not go to the open space outside to enjoy the rare warm sunshine and fresh air like other workers. He chose to stay in the workshop while holding the food prepared by his wife last night. Fantuan took the red-covered book and studied it carefully. If the outside broadcast could broadcast the programs of Fire Dragon TV, he might be very interested. But unfortunately, in the factory dominated by the royal family, the programs of Fire Dragon TV are absolutely prohibited. of.

The so-called knowledge is that it can gradually open up the confusion in people's hearts bit by bit, so that people can clearly understand their own situation and the world they live in.

Jack felt that the fog in his heart was dissipating bit by bit.

"Hey, hey, brother Jack, have you heard?"

At this time, Jack's little brother, a little devil named Allen, quietly sat next to Jack and said in a very soft voice, "What happened on Longyi Island?"

"You mean,"

Jack looked around and saw no sign of those vicious guards. He said softly, "The strike on Longyi Island."

"okokokok,"

Allen looked a little angry, "It was broadcast on Fire Dragon TV last night, those guys, those guys"

"keep your voice down,"

Jack covered Allen's mouth and whispered, "Alan, don't get excited. Keep your voice down, you kid. Don't get excited."

Of course he knows about the strike that happened on Longyi Island. He has been paying attention to the progress of this incident since it happened. This is the thing that he is most concerned about after the parade that happened on Longzhao Island not long ago. He has been looking for A solution to the problem, a solution to the problem he is concerned about.

He was wondering if this method would be useful. He would use strikes to negotiate with the royal family.

But unfortunately, last night's program has already told the end of the story. The strike completely failed. The royal family did more than the workers imagined, because there are so many people who have lost their land and cannot eat. After the workers were fired, the remaining workers realized that they were not necessary and could be replaced. Therefore, these people finally chose to return to work in the factory honestly.

It’s really funny to say that crop yields and production cycles have undergone explosive changes. Domestic food is so abundant that it can be exported and has become one of the country’s pillar industries. However, there are still a lot of food shortages in the country. A well-fed person.

“Too mild”

Covering Allen's mouth, Jack said,

"They, it seems, are still too gentle."
