Chapter 79: The supervisor's son revolts, so ironic (please read it later)
Since the discovery of coal, the Kingdom of Eryokabu has seen more than a dozen uprisings.
Each time, it was caused by long working hours and workers not getting a break.
The most recent uprising was ten years ago, and it was also the largest miners' uprising in history.
Almost all miners were involved, and the riot exceeded 150,000 people.
"150,000 people! My God, this is more than twice the total population of my country."
A member of the Self-Yongjun shouted involuntarily.
Long and the others also had shocked expressions on their faces.
If we had known that there were almost no large continents due to the vastness of the sea, (the Red Earth Continent is not counted)
The country is located on a series of islands.
The islands are large and have a good environment, so there are more people living on them.
The islands are small and have a bad environment, so there are fewer people living on them.
In Long's impression, countries with a population of more than 150,000 can be called medium-sized countries.
Most countries have a population ranging from 70,000 to 100,000.
These countries are also the largest component of the member countries of the World Government, with only a few large countries.
It is really surprising that the Kingdom of Eryokabu can organize a riot of more than 150,000 people.
However, Long was confused.
He had started training in the navy ten years ago, but he had never heard of this incident.
"Uncle Snow, I have a question, why have I never heard of this incident in the navy?"
Puff.
Uncle Snow showed his uneven teeth and said:
"Do you know why you haven't heard of it in the navy? Because the uprising was suppressed by the navy!"
Old man Snow knocked his pipe hard on the table, and his eyes showed a fierce look.
"If I, the old man, could tell that you are not the navy, you would have poisoned the water long ago."
The members of the Self-Yong Army were in a panic.
Instead, Long seemed not to hear the threat of old man Snow.
He poured another cup of hot water on his own.
He also added some to old man Snow, then took a sip from his teacup.
The scene fell into silence for a while.
There was only the sound of Long drinking water.
Seeing this scene, the fierceness in old man Snow's eyes gradually faded.
"Young man, you are very good."
"I have to say that you are much smarter than your father. If it were him, he might say thank you to me after drinking the poisoned water."
Long shook his head:
"My father's ability is all in combat. He doesn't care about these small details. But ordinary toxins can't kill him."
Hahahahaha.
Old man Snow's happy laughter rang in the air, and the atmosphere changed from silence to liveliness.
"Uncle Snow, you haven't mentioned the suppression of the uprising yet."
Long's rationality prevented him from forgetting the most important task, investigating the current situation of the Kingdom of Eryokabu and studying the course of the uprising.
"There is nothing much to say. The miners did win at that time. They swept everything and defeated the king's guards."
"If the king hadn't run fast, he would have been hanged on the gallows by them.
But there was no follow-up after the miners won. They stopped the operation of the mine and prepared to celebrate.
The escaped king contacted the world nobles Tianlong people because the miners overthrew the king, stopped the mine, and were unwilling to hand over the heavenly gold.
The world nobles Tianlong people were very angry and sent agents from the navy and CP organization. In just half a month, the uprising was completely suppressed.
My son also died in this battle."
Old man Snow said here. He took a deep puff of cigarette and looked at his son's photo with a nostalgic look.
"As the son of an overseer, destined to be an overseer, he actually ran to participate in the uprising and died because of this. It's really a very ironic thing."
Long was very touched after listening.
Because he is such a person.
As the son of a naval hero, he is also very talented.
It can be said that even if Long is not ambitious, the position of a vice admiral is stable.
But after he saw the evil in the world with his own eyes, his mind was confused.
After months of hard thinking, Long still couldn't deceive himself.
So he chose to leave the navy and look for answers while traveling around the world.
It is not known whether the answer has been found, but Long has seen the bad nature of the nobles clearly.
Every time he investigates a kingdom, he can always see the sins that others don't notice.
He has also helped these things and saved some people.
Most of these people are his companions.
After listening, Long raised his glass, as if clinking glasses with the old man's dead son, and then raised his head to drink.
Old man Snow looked at the young former navy in front of him, and in a trance he saw his dead son again.
"Why is there another fool in the world."
Old man Snow thought silently in his heart.
At the beginning, Old man Snow advised his son not to participate in the uprising, and their family didn't need to mix with the miners.
But his son didn't listen at all, and fanatically believed that the uprising was a meaningful thing.
When Snow retreated with other miners that year, he lost contact with his son. When he came back again, he learned that his son had died under the navy's gunfire.
At first, Snow hated the navy, but later, as he got older, he understood.
The navy is just a sword in the hands of the Tianlong people.
Without a sense of autonomy, whoever their blades point towards is controlled by the world government.
Instead of hating the navy, think about how to assassinate the king.
But he sadly discovered that the king had re-established a new guard and residence.
The tall walls and the large number of guards made it impossible for him to start.
There are also thousands of naval forces on the small islands surrounding the Kingdom of Erjoka as a force to suppress uprisings at any time.
So after being in despair for a long time, old man Snow could only linger in this house.
Long recorded all what Old Snow said in his notebook, and then followed the others and said:
"Get ready, we will go to work in the mine tomorrow."
Beihai Naval Branch, Admiral's Office.
Raleigh and Porusalino were staring at each other. Behind Raleigh, navymen dressed as clerks carried documents that were taller than a man into the office.
"Raleigh, what do you want to do? Take it away quickly, I get goosebumps when I see the document."
Porusalino looked at the pile of documents like a mountain with a horrified look on his face.
"What are you doing? In order to better manage Beihai, of course I invite you, dear brother, to chew down these documents with me."
Raleigh had a wicked smile on his lips.
When he came back from Doflamingo, he was wondering what the meaning of the World Government's targeting of him was.
Porusalino reminded him of the issue of economic sanctions, and he also leaned on this aspect.
But after some research, he found that the Tianlong people did not want to sanction the navy because of a lack of funds.
So he moved in all the overt and covert plans of the world government for the past hundred years!
