1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 186 Occupy Wall Street (1)

The arrests of the New York Police Department were not successful. Like some previous large-scale operations, they always leaked the news intentionally or unintentionally. So the police came to the newly established New York Railroad Workers Union where Toldo was located and tried to arrest union leaders including Toldo.

However, they did not find these union leaders in the union. Obviously, they had received the news a long time ago and made the transfer. Moreover, when they searched and sealed up the railway workers' union and prepared to leave with all kinds of information obtained from the union, they were surrounded by workers who came after hearing the news.

Being surrounded by workers in United States and being surrounded by workers in the European Cup are two different things. First of all, in Europe, workers generally have no guns. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the people have had a lot of guns in their hands since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The Indians fight, which also determines that the people must not be without guns. In this way, the workers have guns in their hands.

Secondly, the United States police at this time were far less experienced in dealing with mass incidents than in Europe. United States is not without labor disputes, but because there is a pressure relief valve in the west, the intensity of the struggle is still less than that of Europe. Therefore, the United States police are naturally inferior to Europe in terms of experience in this regard. If the European police find signs of crowds, they will probably withdraw early and will never be easily blocked.

But the inexperienced United States police are really surrounded by thousands of workers.

In this era, there are no telephones yet, um, there are no hand-cranked manual transfers, and there are no such things as satellite wireless phones. There are telegrams, but there is no such expensive thing in the union. Therefore, once I am surrounded, there will be a regiment of federal troops as long as I have a phone call, and I will drive the FT-17 to cover the field and do not even think about it. I can only count on their informants in the crowd to quietly go to the police station to report a letter.

As a result, when the police department got the news, and then organized reinforcements (the police force was not enough, and they had to turn to the state militia and the federal army, and the arrival of the state militia and the federal army took time), when preparing to move into the slum area to relieve the siege, More than a dozen policemen who had been sent out earlier had been fired by angry workers, stripped of their clothes, and tarred all over, before being expelled back.

This slap slapped the face of the New York Police Department with a hot pain. If you don't find a place, it will be inconvenient to collect protection fees in the future. Why not? What? You said, it’s the gang that collects the protection fee? Didn't know, really thought the police would not charge protection fees? Anyway, a few days later, the police station made a big move and caught seventy or eighty people inside.

Such a move, of course, also attracted protests from the workers. With the connection of the trade unions, tens of thousands of unemployed workers staged massive demonstrations. When the entire New York police and militia were standing in front of the police headquarters, the mighty workforce took a sharp turn and flocked to Manhattan.

Morgan was handling some daily business in his own bank, when suddenly he heard a noise downstairs. He was surprised to look down from the window on the third floor where Own’s office was located, and found that tens of thousands of poor people swarmed into Wall Street like a swarm of locusts. Those poor people held up banners with slogans that read: "Ninety-nine percent of United States people oppose Wall Street."

"Damn it! The idiots in the police station are really unreliable. They put so many people on Wall Street!" Morgan trembled with anger.

The entire Wall Street was only 500 meters long, and tens of thousands of people poured in. Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire Wall Street was crowded.

"Quickly, where's the guards? Quickly get ready!" Morgan yelled. He followed the example of Scrooge and raised a private army, but because there is no science and technology tree to light up weapon expertise and military struggle practice, the power of this private army in his hand and the black water in Scrooge's hands are still It's a lot worse. But in terms of scale, his private army of hundreds of people was much smaller than Heishui's thousands of people. As for the combat experience, it was of course worse because of the few battles. But when it comes to weaponry and training, Morgan's private army is not bad. For example, the more than fifty people in this building can definitely be regarded as armed to the teeth. After receiving the training services provided by Heishui, their weapons and training have been specifically optimized for the building's defense warfare project.

In the team of fifty people, most of them are equipped with pump shotguns produced by McDonald. In close combat in the building, this weapon is much more powerful than ordinary rifles. In addition, there is also a revolver. Coupled with the special enhanced shock wave grenade, even if it is an army, it is not easy to occupy this building.

The action team took action immediately. The guests in the bank were quickly evacuated, the door of the bank was quickly closed, and a sign indicating that you should not enter by mistake was hung up.

However, no demonstrators rushed into the bank. According to United States law, the owner can shoot and kill the uninvited guest if he trespasses on private territory. It is said that there was once a hapless Japanese student who went out to have a barbecue with friends at night. He drank two more glasses of cat urine and became anxious, so he went out to solve it by himself. When I came back, because of the darkness and the road fascination, I turned left when I went out. When I came back, I turned left and turned into a United States guy’s house. In the middle of the night, a person broke into the house. Of course, the owner was very nervous, so he immediately took out his pistol and said to the little Japan: "Freeze!" If a person from United States came in, he probably would immediately realize that now. There is a gun facing him, because the word in United States means "don't move." However, it was a Japanese who came in. Japanese people’s poor English is almost world-famous. What kind of "Freeze", what was the first reaction when the Japanese heard it? The second reaction is freezing (Freeze's original intention). Where is it freezing? So the Japanese continued to move forward, wanting to see where the ice was frozen? Then, the host emptied a magazine at him and sent him directly to the express to Xitian. Then, well, the court said that the host's behavior was completely legal.

So, if workers rushed into the bank, it would be legal for Morgan's guard to shoot and kill as many people as possible. Of course the workers knew this. Therefore, the demonstrators just packed the streets and chanted slogans, but they didn't really attack the bank.

However, the more people gathered, it still caused a lot of pressure on Morgan. On the surface, Morgan is a very arrogant person, full of explosiveness, and seems to want to provoke others at any time. But on the other hand, Morgan is a rather neurotic guy. According to some people who are familiar with him, Morgan is actually very sensitive and timid. A little bit of trouble in the market can keep him awake all night. Now, looking at the densely packed heads downstairs, it is estimated that Morgan will have insomnia again.

"Mr. Morgan, for safety reasons. We think you should leave here." Morgan's captain of the guard Alan said.

"Okay, let's leave right away, it's horrible!" Morgan said.

For safety reasons, there is a secret passage in the Morgan Bank building that leads to the nearby main sewer, where there is a boat that can be taken to a safe location.

Several guards carrying lanterns and shotguns walked in front, Morgan followed, and there were several guards behind him. Several people huddled him downstairs, into the dark basement, and then walked along the dark alley for a while. Gradually, the sound of running water could be heard, and then the laneway turned again, and the Manhattan sewer appeared in front of them.

One of the guards immediately opened up the umbrella in his hand to cover Morgan from the water dripping from the top of the sewer. The other two guards quickly put the boat next to them into the water, and then jumped onto the boat to inspect the boat. Several guards quickly occupied the defensive position.

The two guards on the ship checked, and then signaled to the top that everything was normal, so Morgan got on the ship with the help of one of the guards. Several guards followed, picked up the oars, and started paddling...

"The unsophisticated people occupied Wall Street and made unrealistic demands. They actually asked the government to investigate, undertake the speculators that caused the oil crash, set the minimum wage standard through legislation, and force companies not to arbitrarily dismiss employees and other serious violations. The conditions of the spirit of free trade. Because of their illegal actions, the financial operations of Wall Street have been severely affected, and the entire United States economy will be hit. In order to maintain the order of the United States and protect the rights of more people, The federal government of the United States should act immediately and take decisive measures to restore order." The New York Herald, which has always stood firmly on the side of the rich, first jumped out and asked the government to take the necessary measures to suppress it.

Other newspapers have also published articles accusing the workers of disrupting the order, or persuading the workers not to make "political demands". Of course, those who seem to be sitting on the side of the workers are full of them. Sympathetic media, "full of tears" published some things such as "Tearful Advice to People Victims of the Oil Crisis". Anyway, the unanimous attitude of the entire public opinion community is unanimous in asking the workers to withdraw from Wall Street.

But this is not the most effective tactic. The most effective tactic is the police department. They first controlled a few entrances on Manhattan Island, allowed them to leave and no entry, and stopped letting in the workers who were trying to find samples, and the demonstrators did the same. For meals, so soon, the demonstrators began to gradually leave. However, the union’s actions were not unprepared. Nearly a thousand people still remained on Wall Street. They prepared rain cloth tents and food to occupy Wall Street for at least a week.
