Chapter 1429: 28. Land and Blood (9)

Since ancient times, intellectuals have been the groups most concerned about politics. Although literati are always inevitable of these and other problems, there is no doubt that they care more about politics than ordinary people and have clearer political demands.
Before entering the industrial revolution, most of the violent revolutions initiated by the bottom people were aimed at eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor, religious beliefs, and abolishing unreasonable taxes. Few people asked for the right to participate in politics, and very few Political demands. For ordinary people, it is everything to live peacefully and securely, and they will rise up to resist only if they cannot survive. As for what to do after the rebellion, how to manage a country, and what kind of country to build, these issues were questions that the bottom people at that time had no time to think about and could not understand.
In Charlemagne, as the large-scale industrial revolution began and the economy expanded rapidly, more and more educated workers were needed in all walks of life, rather than ignorant hard labor. As a result, education began to spread, and more and more people with basic education began to think about themselves and the country. In this left-wing ideological trend, intellectuals once again came to the forefront.
In the process of large-scale industrialization, while the number of workers is increasing, damage to their health, disease and accidents are also accompanied. In order to improve labor and living conditions, a group called "union" should be born in the modern sense. Fight with the management. However, Charlemagne did not appear such a group. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the consortium is too strong. As long as there is a little sign of organizing trade unions, they will do their best to suppress them; the second is that Charlemagne officials do not like this group that threatens the vested interests of traditional nobles. They are well aware that the growth of the underlying public power is a serious threat to the feudal monarchy, whether in the legislature or on the streets. Therefore, they not only let the consortium's severe crackdown on the workers' movements go unnoticed, but sometimes even went shirtless, pulling the troublemakers under the wall and shooting them.
Under the double suppression of management and government, large-scale and influential workers' movements have never been formed. But this does not mean that the left-wing ideological trend has also been contained, and those intellectuals who are romantic and rebellious and dissatisfied with the status quo are already trying to explore a new way out.
The left-wing intellectuals see it clearly, and they are the most powerful pillars of imperialist expansion. The consortium is an important promoter of the spread of right-wing ideological trends such as chauvinism and behind-the-scenes. They seem to struggle with traditional nobles and the military on the surface. The military ambitions of the military and radical forces are seeking huge military orders. Therefore, the expansion of the military will make the entire national economy and social life subordinate to the need. In order to protect this finance for strengthening armaments, taxes will inevitably increase, and the burden of taxation will eventually oppress many people at the bottom, making this The hard life has become more impoverished.
These deviant wise men pointed out that only the working class and the general public can represent the interests of the entire Charlemagne nation. The endless strengthening of armaments and expansion wars will not only exacerbate the poverty of the bottom people, but will eventually drag the entire country into the abyss of destruction. in. Only opposition and imperialism can prevent the country from being destroyed by war and the heavy tax imposed on the people.
Judging from the later exhibitions, the above argument is full of foresight. However, under the background of the social environment at that time, all classes of Charlemagne society were full of blind and fanatical national pride and patriotism, so these wise men were destined not to receive the title and respect of the "prophet". In the eyes of the upper class, they are defeatists who deceive the public and confuse people; in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a group of "non-nationals" who sing the motherland all day long and deserve to be captured by the gendarmerie. It is conceivable that all the real insights have become the winds of horses, and even the foam has not been able to turn up, and was swallowed by the frenzy.
After Charlemagne's defeat and the rise of the elven camp, this group of left-wing intellectuals neither predicted the joy of being proven correct, nor the sorrow of the country's demise. An unprecedented anxiety swept their hearts and souls.
Charlemagne's annihilation is certainly worthy of celebration, and despite the high price paid for it, it can also give all Charlemagne a chance to reflect on this reactionary thought. As long as time is taken, it is entirely possible to derive the snobbery to overthrow the monarchy and establish the civil revolution of a republican country that pursues "freedom, equality, and fraternity." However, the division of Charlemagne by the three great powers and the sacred Gilmanian empire built on the body of Charlemagne completely cut off this possibility.
The predecessor of the Holy Gilmanian Empire was a consortium, and its attitude towards the workers’ movement and the rights movement was self-evident. On top of this, there is more racism and even more powerful authority of Charlemagne. The core value of the system is "all races are born unequal", which is completely opposite to the affirmative thought of "all beings are born equal". This highly sophisticated political system is extremely sensitive to any gathering activities, especially the activities of the fourth-class citizens that occupy the majority. For this reason, even a special law has been introduced to strictly control religious activities. As long as there is no government approval, let alone marriage and funeral Marrying, even going to heaven and going to (the funeral confession, oiling must be reported in advance, and there are on-site supervision by government officials). It is not difficult to foresee that the empire will vigorously suppress the left-wing organizations, legislate to prohibit assembly, publish books, establish ideological crimes, or even simply eliminate them directly from the top, all possible. In addition, under the impenetrable monitoring network of the Empire, the risks of underground activities are becoming increasingly unbearable. It can be said that as long as the empire exists for one day, or the empire is still insisting on the so-called state, family, society, dominance, there is no room for survival and activity of the left-wing affirmative movement in this land.
There is only one armed struggle for the left-wing intellectuals.
To be honest, in fact, the left has a longer history of using violence to spread ideas and attack political opponents than the right, and it is also more professional in terms of methods. When the left-wing Ming proletariat iron fist performed this operation, the right wing was mainly dominated by guns. During the Great Depression, the two left and right forces in European countries tried to rob the class and seize power, but they actually used physical means to debate. The stormtroopers make good use of beer bottles and chair legs, the Italian black shirt party likes to play with knives, and the workers armed by the German Communist Party and Bulgaria are equipped with a large number of uniform axes and sickles (this is Soviet). In the street fighting ~EbookFREE.me~ every time the left and right wing "street fighting" scene is like an axe to fight a knife fight, the unknown truth is that it is to Shanghai. By the time of the Spanish Civil War, the proletariat and the people simply used machine guns to debate.
In the face of the empire's rock-solid system and powerful violent machines, engaging in armed uprisings in big cities is tantamount to self-defeating. The only feasible way is to move into remote rural and mountainous areas, preserve the revolutionary forces as much as possible, spread the revolutionary armed forces, and wait for the time to come.
The direction is clear, but how to implement, how to organize, how to mobilize, how to conceal, how to contact... Faced with many problems, idealists who lack practical military experience do not even know where to start, let alone start solve. Seeing the loss of time, the monitoring network is improving and tightening every day. Just as everyone is about to give up, an invitation letter with the golden hen pattern and the signature "People in the High Castle" appears on the In front of them.
Taking that secret letter as an opportunity, Charlemagne's left-wing revolution took a difficult but sure first step.
