94: Anguo Peasant-Worker Alliance
Two days after Dora City was unsealed, the atmosphere in the city finally improved significantly. By nightfall, people finally dared to step out of their homes for some appropriate socializing.
In a tavern, many Black Brothers gathered in the evening, drinking and complaining about everything they had encountered during this period.
Fernando had been waiting here early on. He had requested Qin Yang to lift the martial law precisely so that some of the local Black Brothers could gather together; only in this way could he leverage the advantages of his skills.
After nine o'clock in the evening, seeing that quite a few Black Brothers had gathered in the tavern, Fernando stood up and walked directly to the stage in the center of the tavern.
Seeing Fernando's actions, many Black Brothers looked puzzled.
After stepping onto the stage, Fernando picked up a microphone, tested the sound slightly, and then smiled and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Fernando. Like you, I am a native of An Country. I know you are all curious about what I want to do by standing here with a microphone. Actually, this is not a whim. I just feel that our country, our nation, is heading towards an abyss. I don't want to see my motherland like this, but I am helpless. So, I gathered the courage to stand here, and I want to share the stifling frustration in my heart with you all."
Fernando's words immediately captured the interest of everyone present.
Then, Fernando continued: "Do you all remember the prices from before? Although we weren't wealthy back then, at the very least we could eat and dress warmly. But nowadays, an coins have fallen to rock bottom. Many people have started bartering, and those who are slightly better off use foreign currency and gold to buy things. Just like today, when I wanted to come here for a drink, I had to pay the price of one gram of gold. I have thought carefully about who caused this kind of life today. The answer is obvious: it is caused by the government's inaction and those foreign capitalists. Especially the war; although those rebels have unspeakable motives, most of the soldiers are just young people from An Country who cannot afford a meal. In my eyes, we are the same as in the last century—oppressed by the government, oppressed by foreign capital—which has led our country and people into such a situation. This is a very tragic thing."
Hearing Fernando's speech, the Black Brothers in the audience showed thoughtful expressions, and many nodded continuously, expressing their support for Fernando's words.
Of course, there were also dissenters, but they weren't refuting Fernando's words; rather, they were questioning what the point of saying these things was, as they were just ordinary commoners.
"I admit what you said is correct, but what is the use of saying this now? It's nothing more than spreading anxiety. We are just commoners; how can we confront those holding guns?"
Fernando smiled upon hearing this; this was the questioning he was waiting for.
He replied: "Brother, that is exactly why we need to unite and resist. Economic collapse and national chaos—isn't that caused by the indifference of us ordinary people? Although we are as weak as a faint spark, everyone should understand that a single spark can start a prairie fire. If we don't want to be extinguished in the dust of history just like this, resistance is the path we must take!"
Perhaps it was Fernando's speech that stimulated the deepest vulnerabilities in the hearts of these Black Brothers, and with the activation of his incitement skill, someone soon took the lead in applauding. Immediately after, the applause grew louder and louder, and some people even started shouting slogans about wanting to resist.
Fernando saw all of this, a smile on his face. He waved his hand to signal that it was not safe here, telling everyone to calm down.
"Mr. Fernando, what do you plan to do? Relying only on us, even if we resist, I'm afraid it will be futile." After things quieted down, someone quickly raised a question.
"Yes, we cannot accomplish anything with just us. Therefore, we need more like-minded partners to join. As for specific plans, I already have some ideas in my mind. We need to have our own organization to enhance everyone's cohesion. Why don't we form a political party? It would be a party entirely for the country and for ourselves. What do you think?" Fernando replied after pretending to think for a moment.
"Oh, form our own party? That is really cool! Mr. Fernando, I want to join!" A Black Brother responded immediately after hearing this.
With his incitement skill, plus the herd mentality people have, soon, most of the people in the tavern chose to join, even the tavern owner.
Soon, everyone discussed and decided on the name for the party, calling it the An Country Workers and Peasants Alliance, abbreviated as the Workers and Peasants Party.
Over the next few days, under the constant urging of everyone, Fernando began to frequently give speeches in the shadows, continuously expanding the scale of the Workers and Peasants Party. In just three days, the Workers and Peasants Party expanded rapidly, reaching a scale of over three thousand people. Regarding this matter, although Qin Yang was mentally prepared, he was still quite surprised by Fernando's ability.
Of course, the so-called covert actions of Fernando and his group were merely the result of Satans Armed Forces turning a blind eye. Otherwise, did they really think Satans Armed Forces were pushovers?
After receiving the deposit, Chekov sent good news after only five days. Because time was tight, Chekov directly mobilized air transport, using the Rasha Nation's Il-96 transport aircraft to ship this batch of weapons. The Il-96 holds a very high status in the Rasha Nation, which shows that this guy Chekov must be a top merchant in Rasha. Qin Yang's transaction this time could be considered as trading with the Rasha Nation. Of course, Qin Yang didn't care who he did business with. Europe is currently fighting fiercely, and as the saying goes, when the cannons roar, gold is worth ten thousand taels; it is perfectly normal for people to make money selling weapons.
For this batch of weapons, Chekov mobilized a total of five transport flights to deliver them all to Dora City. After settling the final payment, Bodo had a meal with Chekov, and this transaction was considered concluded.
With the weapons delivered, it was naturally time to start arming the troops. During these days, Qin Yang also refreshed many Death Warriors possessing Special Warfare skills. With these Death Warriors as the core, whether it was tanks or air defense systems, these relatively high-tech weapons were not a problem for the Special Warfare Death Warriors. Coupled with the captured locals providing manual labor, Satans Armed Forces formed combat capability at an extremely fast speed.
...
In a secret house, Fernando was discussing the next plan with the core members of the Workers and Peasants Party.
"Brothers, have you clearly registered how many comrades are willing to join the armed resistance movement in the past two days?" Fernando asked.
"Leader, it has been clearly registered. The comrades' enthusiasm is very high, and nearly one thousand people are willing to actively join in. However, we are now facing a problem. Currently, Dora City is still under the control of unidentified armed forces. Although we have people, we have no weapons. Once we resist, I'm afraid we will be completely wiped out."
