MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 922 Destruction of Industry (Medium)

Springfield Armory, this arsenal may be thought to be a Japanese arsenal just by its name, but this Springfield arsenal is not a Japanese arsenal, but an American arsenal. The capital of the state of Massachusetts in the United States is also called Springfield City, so the arsenal established here is naturally called the Springfield Armory. And this Springfield Armory is the largest arsenal in the United States. They are a large arsenal integrating production and research. They are an arsenal specializing in the production of rifles. A large number of military industrial talents are gathered here, and they are responsible for most of the American rifles. Production.

"What happened recently? I heard that Washington, D.C. is also messing around with ****?" Someone asked.

And the other said: "Yes, Washington, D.C. has been very restless recently. More than a dozen mid-level and senior officials have been assassinated, making people in Washington, D.C. panic. It is even heard that the federal government has not even killed a police officer." ***** Didn't catch them, what a shame. And President Roosevelt, who just took over as president, has already asked for military expansion. In the next six months, there will be an expansion of 600,000 troops! At that time, I am afraid that the weapons produced will not be enough No, we are going to be busy here!"

Hearing that the Springfield Armory will have a lot of orders, these workers are also in a complicated mood. Because once the U.S. government's munitions and military industry orders increase, it means that their production volume will increase rapidly. In the past, the U.S. Army was only tens of thousands of people, and their production pressure was not much, and it was impossible for tens of thousands of U.S. troops to change uniforms at the same time, so they were not under great pressure. But now the army has been expanded to 600,000, and the number of people has even increased by about eight times, and it is a one-time expansion, and those military weapons need to be massive.

Under such circumstances, these workers must work overtime, especially the rifle factory has to produce faster. But working overtime as a worker in this era may not be a good thing! The exploitation of workers in this era is very serious. Every worker works at least nine hours a day, and it is not bad to be able to work nine hours. It was Ford who really wanted to implement the eight-hour work system decades later, and the nine-hour work system has not been popularized yet. These workers work at least ten hours a day. It may even be twelve hours at most, and even some unscrupulous bosses may directly ask them to work overtime for up to thirteen or four hours. Even in this era, there is a record of working 16 hours, and if it is counted as overtime, it is impossible to estimate.

So I heard about the military expansion, and this made these workers feel not only not happy. Instead, I feel a headache. In this era, those capitalists exploit workers very seriously. Although they work overtime, their wages may not increase much, or even not increase at all. The exploitation of workers by capitalists is the craziest era, and these workers are very helpless when they hear that they have to work overtime. Not only do these workers have almost zero benefits. Even the wages are not high, which is simply incomparable compared with the workers of later generations.

Hearing the news of the military expansion, these American workers, especially the workers in the arsenal, were even more troubled. Obviously, they didn't think the military expansion was a good thing. As for the profits to be obtained from the expansion of the army and the production of weapons, these have nothing to do with these low-level workers, and will be the income of those bosses. And their workers may get overtime pay, but it will definitely not be 200% or 300% like later generations. These days, maybe the wages for overtime work are less than the wages for normal work, so it is not impossible.

Where would the rise of the Soviets of the working class be if the workers were not forced too far?

"Hahahaha. Don't you want to work overtime?" A person suddenly said in English.

Immediately, a worker subconsciously replied: "Of course, of course I don't want to work overtime. Who wants to! Overtime is not worth the gain. Why do we want to work overtime?"

The man who spoke English replied again: "In that case, if we blow up this arsenal for you, can we give you a holiday?"

The few American workers were suddenly surprised. Who the **** is this, and what did they say to blow up the arsenal? This is a big treason, and if those capitalists hear about it, they will definitely die without a place to die.

"Who are you?"

"we are Chinese!"

"Papa papa..."

Several **** immediately knocked down the workers of the American Springfield Arsenal. Then he took out a dagger and threatened them.

"Don't talk, cooperate with us well, we don't want to kill people, understand?" ********** said.

"Okay, okay. We will definitely cooperate! What do you want to do?" said the American worker.

********* went on to say: "It's very simple. We are going to blow up the Springfield Armory. I hope you can cooperate with me. If you don't cooperate, I don't mind killing people. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, we will definitely cooperate! As long as you don't kill me, then I can do anything."

Those American workers immediately nodded, obviously thinking that they should cooperate well.

"Oh? So cooperative?"

********* It is also considered that these American workers have no loyalty to these American companies at all. For them, these American factories squeeze them too hard, and these capitalists almost put them in order to make huge profits. Workers' benefits, labor protection, and even wages are squeezed as much as possible, and then they are desperately squeezed regardless of their health and working hours. This makes them very painful. In addition, there is no protection for workers in this era, and even the strength of trade unions is still very weak, unable to fight against capitalists.

Therefore, these workers have no loyalty to the factory at all. Anyway, the loss is the boss's, not their own. Bankruptcy is also the boss's, not their own, so why do they feel bad? They sold the boss directly, and they didn't lose any money anyway. The factory is owned by the boss, and their lives are their own, so of course they are not willing to give up their lives to protect the interests of the so-called boss.

"Very well, next, tell me, where is the workshop where the bullets are produced?" ********** asked.

"Where is the bullet workshop, but you have to wear special work clothes!" The American worker pointed to a factory building and said.

********* went on to say: "Very good, whether you can survive in the future depends on your own luck!"

"Snapped!"

The **** punched the American worker, and then the American worker passed out.

"Captain, this time we are looking for the ammunition factory, the ammunition factory is the most suitable!"

Since the Springfield Armory was going to be blown up, the most suitable place was to start with the ammunition workshop. Because a small number of agents sneaked in, it was impossible to carry a large amount of explosives, so it was naturally impossible to blow up the arsenal directly. They naturally want to blast through the gunpowder inside the arsenal, so that they can detonate the entire arsenal at once.

And there is also an advantage in this ammunition production workshop, that is, the workers in the ammunition production workshop need to change their clothes, which are relatively heavy and have no static electricity. In this ammunition production workshop, once there is a little bit of static electricity, the consequences will be disastrous. So the clothes are special, and you have to wear a mask, which helps them hide their identities. The appearance of orientals is completely different from that of westerners. If you directly swagger into it, it will definitely be dangerous. And wearing this mask and those anti-static suits is naturally the best way to help them hide their identities.

"Get ready, go steal some clothes, and then we'll sneak in!" said the secret service captain.

For these agents, it was not difficult to steal a few clothes, so they all quickly stole some clothes, and then brought a few passes of those workers again, so they all came here soon Arrived in the gunpowder factory, and after they walked in, they began to prepare to take out the gunpowder.

"Old Zhang, you have been specially trained in blasting, isn't that a problem?" the captain asked.

"No problem, I was originally a high-achieving student in the American construction industry, and later joined here to learn blasting, I know what to do!" the old Zhang replied~www.novelbuddy.com~Old Zhang started to get some gunpowder To make explosives. Packs, he also needs to calculate the blasting process. In particular, the power of the gunpowder and these must be calculated. Blasting is not just a matter of lighting the gunpowder casually and then it can explode. Especially directional blasting, precise blasting, etc., these are all arts! Blasting, if used well, is an art.

How to blow up the Springfield Arsenal, and how to escape in time, so as not to stay here to be buried with the Arsenal, this is the most important thing. This plan is very important. It doesn't matter if the explosion takes too long, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered. It won't work if it's too short, because it won't help them escape. Therefore, this blasting, especially when there is no specially customized bomb, and it is necessary to temporarily make blasting equipment by yourself, is a test of the ability of an agent.

"Old Zhang, is it alright? Hurry up, or we will be discovered easily if it takes too long! This is their territory, and if we don't play well, we will all be in trouble. Especially here are all security guards, and it is a The arsenal. They will not lack firearms, and once they mobilize workers to come over, we will all be vulnerable!" said the agent captain.

"Okay, the explosive kit is ready, and I can use the power of the explosion and ammunition to blow up this arsenal!" (To be continued.)
