The joint efforts of France and Austria to suppress the rebellion of the Hungarian nobles did not mean that France and Austria became allies, at least on the surface. In the propaganda of the French, Austria was still a conservative, backward, and reactionary oppressing the people's regime. In the propaganda of the Austrians, France was still a symbol of impolite, mob, and betrayal of tradition. In the propaganda, everyone did not give each other good colors.

On the other hand, neither France nor Austria fully focused the criticism on the other side. The French still focused the criticism on the UK, especially recently, the British took advantage of the opportunity of France and Austria being busy dealing with Hungary and Poles to pass a series of resolutions and began to comprehensively suppress domestic workers.

The UK first passed the Trade Union Organization Act, which legally declared that any cross-enterprise trade union organization is illegal and restricted all joint trade unions to be dissolved within the prescribed time. Only enterprises with more than one thousand workers have the right to establish trade unions.

This decree also requires that all activities of trade unions, including strikes and even various conference activities, must be approved by the government, and the use of various funds in trade union activities must also be supervised by the government.

On the other hand, the British passed an amendment to the Nautical Ordinance. Although it was an amendment to the Nautical Ordinance, it was far from what Mr. Rennes hoped to make concessions in exchange for the French relaxing discrimination against the transport of British goods, and this amendment had nothing to do with it at all.

This amendment is used to restrict British immigration to North America.

According to this law, British nationals can only leave the British mainland by British ships - whether they go to the New World or Europe.

Over the years, due to the development of industry in Europe, especially the development of industry in France, and the higher wages in France than in the UK, many British workers once found a new path, that is, to save money from France first, then go to France to work, and then earn some money in France so that they can immigrate to the New World.

This has led to a lot of population loss in the UK over the years. Many workers left the UK in this way, which is not a good thing for British industry. Fortunately, in order to ensure the interests of local workers and workers in the Rhine Alliance, France quickly took measures, and they controlled the work visas to the British. Generally speaking, only workers with certain skills can get a work visa in France, while those British who do not have special skills can only work illegally when they arrive in France.

The average salary in France is indeed much higher than that in the UK, but this has nothing to do with British workers without legal status. Black workers without legal status are not protected by law. If they have not experienced the revolution and without the restrictions of the revolutionary government, French business owners are actually not as conscientious as those in the UK. When they found that these British people were weak, pitiful, and helpless enough, they immediately began to oppress them and suppress their wages to the same level as those in the UK.

But British workers continued to travel to Europe, but their goal was no longer France, but they had to go directly to North America with Europe as a transit - because the French were willing to provide certain boat ticket subsidies for everyone who swore allegiance to France and bought tickets to settle in Louisiana. According to some British people, the French tried to send more German-speaking people to the New World in this way to ensure France's advantage on the European continent. In fact, two out of every three immigrants who arrived in Louisiana now speak German.

The French are not very concerned about British workers coming to "take benefits". The French even welcome the British to do this because it will weaken the British industrial capacity. Moreover, those who leave Britain in this way and go to North America are no longer loyal to the United Kingdom. In addition, those who do not speak German at all in Louisianados are actually a good thing.

Although theoretically, to get a subsidy, you must be able to speak French. In fact, the French have very low requirements for these British people. Basically, you can only say "bonjour" (hello) and "merci" (thank you). These two words are just fools and can be learned in a short time.

Due to the impact of this subsidy, the tickets for boats from Europe to Louisiana are about one-third cheaper than those from the UK to there.

The loss of population will naturally cause the unemployment rate to a certain extent. The unemployment rate will drop. If it is in later generations, this number will make the government happy for many days. If the head of the government happens to understand the king, then self-praise will have to be praised until the next term. But in this strange era, this number will worry the British government.

Yes, the British government is a little worried because according to market principles, if a factor begins to be short, it will inevitably lead to the price of this factor. The same is true for labor. If labor begins to be tight, wages will definitely rise, and wages will increase costs and thus reduce the profits of "decent people". In the UK, isn't the reason why the British labor surplus is able to maintain a much lower wage than the continent of Europe?

Therefore, the passage of this bill will increase the price of ship tickets from the UK to the European continent, so that those British workers who want to take cheap ships from the French will not be able to gain benefits. Not only will the price of ship tickets to the European continent increase, but the price of ship tickets to the New World also increase. Through this method, the number of people to the New World will be reduced, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient unemployment in the country is the real reason behind this amendment.

Of course, using the power of the government to artificially change the supply and demand relationship fully demonstrates that France has a full reason to include Britain as a "non-free trade country".

It is said that the French State Department is preparing to propose a new bill, which is called the "Special 302 Act" to authorize the French government to conduct anti-dumping investigations on products from "non-free trade countries" to use the prices of other "free trade countries" as reference, rather than the price of origin as reference.

After the British quickly passed these series of bills, they immediately began to act. First, the London Police Department issued a notice of rectification within a deadline to the "Textile Workers Federation". They required them to complete the rectification within 48 hours - that is, to announce the dissolution. Because the Trade Union Organization Act prohibits any cross-enterprise trade union from the existence of.

In addition to announcing the dissolution, the remaining trade unions that meet the Trade Union Organization Law in terms of specifications also need to be rectified in accordance with the requirements of the law. For example, various inspections of their organization and funding by personnel sent by the government must be...

"Anyway, this is to completely destroy us." Fei Jin said with the notice from the London Police Department.

"Boss, what should we do?" asked the butcher.

"We have two ways to go, one is to confront the police and even this country," said Fei Jin. "During this period, we organized workers' pickets and equipped some weapons, but this can only be used to defend against possible attacks on the union by individual factory owners. However, if we want to rely on workers' pickets to fight against the British government, the total lackeys of all factory owners and wealthy people, it is still far from enough. If we take the road of confrontation, at least temporarily, we will definitely fail.

As for the second road," Fei Jin smiled, "that is naturally surrender. We people have shown certain abilities in our previous struggle with those men. If we surrender, considering the ability we show, they should be willing to take out a piece of flesh and bone to recruit us. What do you think?"

"Boss, stop talking nonsense!" said Buck.

"That's right, boss, stop talking nonsense!" the others also said.

"If we go the second path, we will probably get some benefits. But the other workers, our brothers, are sold by us. I guess soon, Mr. Rennes and their new contract will come out, and it will be even more excessive than the previous new contract. Because since the workers dare not resist, why not go further?" said the butcher, "Boss, you know that there are no cowards among us who betray brothers. You said, "What should you do? Even if you can't do it, we have to bite him before we die."

"We can't fight them, but we can't really disperse," said Fei Jin. "Our Union will move into the underground and continue to lead the workers' struggle. In addition, we cannot retreat silently. Even if we have to retreat, we have to leave something. Butcher, you are responsible for arranging our personnel to transfer into the underground, and I, I will launch the last strike in the name of the Union Union..."

"Boss..."

Everyone knows how dangerous it will be to launch such an action at this time.
