With Varina's urging and help, it took three days for the Workers' Union Party to be fully established with great reluctance.
The original Dead Eel Gang and the Gray Rat Gang are its two relatively independent legs.
In order to really put these two legs on the body, the Gray Squirrel Gang is okay, and the Dead Eel Gang can be said to have undergone a major cleaning.
A large number of former gang members, those who could be reformed were forcibly "persuaded", and those who could not be reformed were lynched and kicked out of the gang. In addition, a large number of workers joined them.
The red-haired Kirk first became the president of the union inexplicably, and then saw the gang being forcibly transformed into another form. These days, he had a dreamy feeling.
But this doesn't affect anything.
Varina was interested in Kirk's status as the former boss's deputy, and wanted the appearance of a smooth transition to stabilize customers.
As for his specific ability level, it doesn't matter much.
In terms of ability, Haz is several times stronger than him.
The main body of the Workers' Union Party was the workers who often listened to Varina's speeches in the tavern.
During the past three days, Makarov found a few assistants to help. He stayed in the Workers' Union tavern and talked with the workers present to determine their level and willingness, and then decided whether to let them join in name only. "Workers Union Party".
The question he was asked most often was——
"Why isn't the leader Mr. Lexa?"
Each time, he had to patiently answer and explain, "This is what Mr. Lexa himself meant."
"He said that he is essentially a bounty hunter, not a worker, so he is naturally not suitable to be the leader of the Workers' Alliance Party."
"We can only follow his wishes, but I think this does not prevent us from considering him an honorary leader, right?"
It was not until noon on the third day that he finalized the list of the first batch of party members and truly established the "Workers' Alliance Party".
Of course, the tissue that was barely kneaded in this way is quite fragile.
Like a sick man who has leaned forward and is about to fall.
Varina also knew that if he had time, he would be willing to help again and spend more time to let this new organization run in for a while.
But alas he didn't.
So the only way he can adopt is another way.
By forcing the sick man to run a few steps, maybe he can regain his balance?
This "running a few steps" is actually the main part of his plan - launching a march to express his demands.
This is not only the key to his digestion, but also the first large-scale movement of the new organization, which requires the participation of a large number of members.
Varina can only hope that they can truly complete their adjustment during this process.
Because the parade was finished, he was about to run away.
9th, which is the third day after the tripartite talks.
In the evening, the Workers' Union Tavern.
Varina began to agitate for a march.
All the middle and high-level leaders of the three parts of the Workers' Alliance Party were required to be present, and together with many workers who were already in the tavern, they heard the key speech that Varina put the most thought into designing.
The words were very encouraging, and the atmosphere at the scene was even more fanatical.
Therefore, even the other two groups, members who had never heard the speech before, felt passionate and excited, and had some identification with the new organization.
At the end of the speech, Varina suddenly jumped up on the table and asked as usual:
"What are we?"
For people who frequent the tavern, even if they haven't listened carefully to Varina's speech, they can probably answer this question roughly.
Therefore, after the question came out, most people in the tavern immediately answered loudly and in a neat voice.
"We are workers!"
"It is the producer of goods, the provider of the kingdom, and the cornerstone of society!"
The crowd’s sincere cries are extremely penetrating and infectious.
Those members who came to the tavern to listen to the lecture for the first time were so excited that they remembered the conversation after listening to it only once.
Varina asked again: "What do the workers want?"
“Workers need to survive!”
"We need reasonable wages, we need the rights we deserve, and we need to live with dignity!"
Varina continued to agitate: "What are we going to do?"
"We are united, we have reasonable demands, and we march!"
The atmosphere in the tavern has been completely mobilized, and the two previous successes have also given them strong confidence.
In a sea of intense emotions, Varina remained absolutely calm.
Finally, he asked loudly: "What is our demand?"
"Abolish the Corn Laws!"
After the emotion is aroused, the next thing to do is to guide this emotion and solidify it into the motivation for action.
This requires preparing a plan of action in advance.
Varina has made great efforts in this regard.
In fact, after he came up with the idea of such action, he has been constantly improving and adjusting the specific action plan;
In the past few days, he has communicated and discussed with the senior leaders of the newly established party to check for leaks and fill the gaps.
After the speech, these people began to disperse and announce the action plan, making sure to ensure sufficient organizational strength to ensure that the overall march was under control.
After all, this operation is not a small fight like the previous two. The level of stimulation must be controlled to an extremely subtle level in order to achieve the desired effect.
Ensuring controlled movement is the top priority to ensure personal safety and communication of appeals.
…
Saturday, February 10th.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, a large crowd of more than 2,000 people had gathered in the streets near the dock union.
At eight o'clock, Varina and other members of the organization showed up, bringing many banners and slogans.
After a few brief words of mobilization, the crowd set off according to the predetermined route.
Starting from the dock area, then the green road in the dock area of the East District, then to Black Palm Street...Dharavi Street, then to Red Brick Alley...White Rum Street in the Bridge District, and then to Backlund Bridge... Enter the south area of the bridge.
The number of people increased from more than two thousand at the beginning, and at the highest point, the number was close to one hundred thousand!
After leaving the East District and crossing the Backlund Bridge, there were still more than 50,000 people in the crowd.
After entering the south area of the bridge, the number of people began to slowly decrease.
When the two thousand people in the front core set foot on King's Avenue, which leads directly to Queens, there were still twenty thousand people.
It was also at this time that they encountered the first wave of police obstruction and blockade.
…
From eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, when the crowd marched in the East District, the rest of the area was unaffected except for the area they passed by, giving the impression that nothing happened;
After the crowd crossed the Backlund Bridge, the Police Headquarters at the junction of the West End and Queens Boroughs was notified by telegram, but this did not attract enough attention;
Therefore, when the crowd set foot on King's Avenue in the south area of the bridge, there were only nearly a hundred police officers who came to stop them.
Barely enough to block the wide and straight King's Road.
However, what they faced was——
It was a large area of darkness, holding banners, holding slogans, shouting neat slogans, and an endless crowd of people could be seen at a glance.
They had guns, but no one dared to fire.
The blockade is useless!
