The imperial city of Bodet began a vigorous industrial revolution in the 19th century. With the general invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, Bodet became an industrial city.
The city of Bodet is like magic, building up a block of black-smoked factories and a railway extending in all directions in just a few years.
Residents of Baudette live almost every day under the roar of the railroad.
The construction of a large number of railways also formed a group of railway workers in the city of Bodet in the Empire. They wake up early in the morning and stay in the dark. Although they earn a small amount of money, they need to work hard every day.
The imperial government and the capitalists united to exploit the railway workers, so the railway workers were owed money and had to bear a huge amount of labor.
Lawrence was one of the railroad workers, and he had to sign a contract with the railroad company because of his debts.
After Lawrence joined the railway labor, he had to do heavy work every day. He met an old man named Stoker in the labor. Although Stoke was old, he appreciated Lawrence very much, so Lawrence and Stoke soon became good friends who talked about everything.
Bass is the overseer here. Although he is not good-looking, he is cruel and vicious, and he will beat the laborers to death at every turn.
Not only that, in order to strengthen management, the railway department prohibits labor from leaving. In other words, the railway laborers became the private slaves of the railway company.
Several workers protested at the railway company and were shot dead immediately.
At first, the railway company falsely claimed that several workers were on holiday, and it was later revealed that the railway company had murdered the railway workers.
Bass implemented white terror in the labor camp. Anyone who dared to slack off or escape would be whipped or executed.
Old Stoke was getting older and slowed down a bit during his day's work, when he was beaten by a group of thugs under Bass.
In the evening, when old Stoke was carried back to the shed, he vomited blood and died. Lawrence lost his only friend and was deeply saddened.
But Bass and others did not allow the workers to bury the old Stoke, so the old Stoke could only be thrown on the mass grave and eaten by wild dogs.
The despairing Lawrence cried silently after returning to the camp. He didn't know how long such a ghost life would last.
Fortunately, Lawrence gradually stabilized his mood with the help of another co-worker, Vance.
Vance is an old miner who has been in the mine and worked as a coal miner for ten years. Later, after the coal mine closed down, Vance was introduced to work on the railway.
Old Stoke's death also dealt a great blow to Vance, because Vance had a good relationship with Old Stoke in private. Therefore, seeing Lawrence who was also sad for old Stoke, Vance was actually very sympathetic to Lawrence.
Lawrence said to Vance: "It doesn't feel like a place for people to stay here. We have to escape or we all have to die here."
In fact, Vance had been working in tandem with railway workers a long time ago to prepare for an uprising and escape, but was later stopped by old Stoke. Because old Stoke thinks the stakes are too great.
After the death of old Stoke, the enthusiasm of Vance and others to escape was re-inspired.
Lawrence was in a grief-stricken mood for days after old Stoke's death and did not respond to Vance's proposal.
Vance saw that Lawrence wasn't interested in their escape plan, so they had to act on their own.
In fact, Bass's monitoring of the labor camp has never been relaxed. In fact, there are company spies installed in the labor camp to monitor the workers' every move.
Therefore, the escape plan of Vance and his co-workers has long been mastered by the company, but Bass wants to lead the snake out of the hole.
As a result, the fate of Vance and others was actually doomed long ago.
Sure enough, the escape plan of Vance and others was "smooth" at the beginning, but later, Vance and others were surrounded by the company.
Dozens of heavily armed armed men surrounded Vance and others, and the machine guns on the sentry tower also aimed at Vance.
At this time, Bass proudly held the loudspeaker and screamed: "Vance and others, listen, we have already mastered your escape plan, and today you only have two choices, either surrender or die!"
Vance was in despair at this time, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have no way out now. As long as we can break through the barbed wire, we will survive, Charge!"
Vance and others picked up stones and stakes on the ground to fight with the armed men
Vance killed three enemies, but was knocked to the ground by Bath's wolf dog, unable to move. Other workers were killed by machine guns.
The next morning, Bass "showed" the dying Vance to all the workers. Just saw him covered in bruises and blood, tied to a stake.
Bass took a loudspeaker and said triumphantly to all the workers: "Today, I am announcing something to everyone. What is it? We congratulate Mr. Vance for the opportunity to become a wolf-dog meal. Thanks to Mr. Vance's escape behavior, he got this opportunity in front of you today, and you all need to look at it carefully!"
Bass waved his hand, and several of his subordinates brought a large iron cage, and there were several wolf dogs in it. Then Vance was thrown into the cage amid the exclamations of the crowd.
The wolf dogs in the cage were initially wary of Vance's arrival, but they were quickly attracted by the smell of blood on Vance's body, and then the wolf dogs rushed on. Then came the piercing cry of Vance.
Lawrence and the other co-workers were stunned and didn't dare to see such a tragic scene.
After a while, the thugs came to collect Vance's remains. Bass said cheerfully: "My friends, is it wonderful? Hahaha. If anyone dares to escape, Vance is your end."
Vance's death once again aroused strong fear among the workers, but contrary to what Bass and others imagined, the brutal and bloody massacre did not scare the workers away, but only aggravated the workers' idea of escaping this devil's den.
As a friend of Vance, Lawrence naturally became the core of the workers' uprising
After much deliberation, Lawrence and the workers came up with the bold idea of using the train to storm City Hall and knock down the downtown bell tower to announce the beginning of the workers' uprising.
The key to the plan is to gather enough steel and sleepers to guide the train into the city hall in the city center when it comes.
So workers day and night collect some broken steel and store it secretly, as well as some incomplete wood. Workers need to assemble these in a short time and then guide the train to attack the city.
So the first step of the plan was to start an uprising at the railway station, kill the overseers and company representatives, and seize control of the station. The second step is to hold the station under the attack of the military and police, then wait for the assembly of the guiding railway to be completed, and finally seize control of the train, attack the city center, and then trigger a all-people uprising.
After a long preparation, the time for the uprising finally came.
Before the uprising, the workers formed the General Headquarters of the Railway Workers' Uprising Army. Lawrence was elected by the workers as the commander-in-chief, Dick was the deputy commander, and Roger was in charge of communication.
Dick used to be a cowboy on the western empire's ranch. Later, after the family ranch was forcibly robbed by local officials, he could only come to the city and become a miner.
And Roger was a former sports coach, his muscles are very developed, but because his son offended the son of an official, he lost his position as a coach and could only be reduced to a railway worker.
In addition, representatives of various workers' groups also participated in the uprising commander-in-chief, which will mobilize more than 3,000 railway workers.
As night fell, the uprising began, and thousands of railroad workers stormed the overseers' quarters overnight, killing them, seizing guns and ammunition, and storming the camp's arsenal.
Bass fled in the chaos and disappeared.
Railroad workers took over arsenals, railroad depots, labor camps, and company headquarters with little effort, and all company employees were captured. In retaliation for the company's previous oppression of railroad workers, Lawrence ordered the killing of all company employees.
The blood of the company dogs stained the ground of the labor camp.
After Bass led a few cronies to flee the station, he immediately went to the police station to call the police, and then contacted the local garrison, requesting that the uprising be suppressed immediately.
A similar order was issued by the imperial administration, and a large number of military and police forces blocked the railway station, and a battle was imperative.
Lawrence instructed to leave 2,500 laborers to rebel the attack of the military and police, and led 500 railway workers to assemble the rails and sleepers, and guide the train.
After the guide rail and sleepers were built, the train arrived as scheduled. Lawrence led a hundred death squads to board the train, and after some fighting, took control of the train.
Dick, on the other hand, commanded the staff to move the railway gates, but at this time a small group of military police bypassed the frontal position and came to the railway. They immediately attacked the workers on the railway, and the workers' army was forced to fight back.
Dick fell to the ground injured, but he still managed to get up and move the barrier. The train was directed to the guide line as intended, but Dick was killed by the military police.
Just after Lawrence and the others got on the train, Roger led the workers' army and fought fiercely with a large number of military police.
2500 railway workers' army against 5000 armed police and some soldiers.
The workers of the workers' army took advantage of the terrain and fought fiercely with the enemy. The workers' ammunition soon ran out, so Roger roared, and led the troops to pick up the axe and the hammer to fight with the enemy.
"Worker brothers, take up your arm and kill them all, Chargeeeeee!!!" Roger roared.
Blood and stumps splattered, and the soldiers beside Roger fell one by one. The corpses of military police and workers covered the ground. Roger was injured in the head and blood flowed from his body, but he still roared and swung his axe to fight the enemy.
At this moment, a military policeman hit Roger's head with the butt of a gun, and Roger was dizzy for a while, and the blood on his head splattered all over the military policeman. The military policeman wanted to kill Roger, but he didn't expect Roger to roar and chop off the military policeman's calf with an axe.
The military policeman fell to the ground with a "wow" and shouted, and then Roger cut off the head of the military policeman with the axe.
Seeing that Roger was so ferocious, the other military police were afraid to step forward. Roger continued to lead the soldiers to fight with the military and police.
Lawrence and his group led the train into the city center. For the sake of caution, Lawrence prepared high explosives on the train and prepared to escape before the explosives detonated.
But at this time, after Bass killed two workers, he broke into the train control room. The two fought fiercely, and Lawrence fell to the side with serious injuries. Bass tried to slow the train, at which point Lawrence hit Bass with a shovel and then detonated the explosives after the train hit City Hall. . .
"Stoke, look at it" was Lawrence's last words.
After the train hit the city hall, it caused a violent explosion, killing more than 100 officials who attended the city hall banquet. The clock tower in the center of the city collapsed and a huge fireball shot into the sky like a festive firework.
At this time, Roger and his comrades cheered when they saw the enemy retreat, and they won the battle. Roger was seriously wounded and lost an eye. He leaned on the bloody battle axe and roared into the sky like a horn of victory.
After the explosion, many officers, including police officers, were killed, causing confusion in the military and police command system, so the remaining military and police had to flee.
Roger looked at the huge fireball and the collapsed clock tower in the direction of the city hall, and he knew what was going on. He and other railroad workers saluted City Hall.
One of the railway workers' soldiers asked: "Sir, has the revolution succeeded?"
Roger replied: "No, it has only just begun!"
Then Roger led the remaining soldiers and began to walk slowly towards the city center. At this time, citizens of the whole city took to the streets. They set fire to the police station, opened the prison, and the local garrison and police fled, and a new era began.
Tyranny turns everyone into the monster. Both the perpetrator and the victim have become monsters.

All I can say is that tyranny turns everyone into the monster
