Election is War (3)

At this point a quick-witted person might reach one question.

‘Why radical faction not Whig Party?’

Right.

Can dislike the Conservative Party.

But then usually vote for the competing Whig Party.

But why was Birmingham uniquely electing radical faction people for decades?

The answer is simple.

“Whig Party bastards are that vegetable that rice.”

“Those guys also the same nobles lords acting arrogant and chattering nonsense?”

“Other places unknown, here Birmingham from top to bottom everyone tightly united with will for reform.”

“Even the high guys gathered in London all Anglican believing guys? Whether Conservative Party or Whig Party all that guy that guy.”

Due to Birmingham’s characteristic grown by the industrial revolution, here the upper class also had many emerging capitalists rather than existing vested interests. Whig Party chattering gradual reform or balance? Fuck off. We want rapid free trade and tariff abolition.

Here the religion problem lit the fire.

Britain’s state religion is the Anglican Church, and whether believing the Anglican Church or not had quite a big difference.

Among Birmingham’s commercial industrialists the proportion of nonconformists, in other words people not believing the Anglican Church was quite high.

And Birmingham was one of the places that most strongly opposed nonconformist discrimination.

Right now Britain’s best universities, Oxford and Cambridge have ‘confession of faith’.

Oxford must swear believing the Anglican Church when entering, Cambridge must pledge believing the Anglican Church when graduating. Anyway meaning if not believing the Anglican Church get out. Mill teacher who undermines me as an absolutist also not an Anglican believer so had to go to the University of London instead of those two universities.

Also decades ago weddings could only be held at Anglican churches. If holding a wedding at Catholic or other churches this was not recognized as a legally legitimate marriage.

That discrimination was abolished, but still various discriminations in British society. Among them the discrimination that pissed people the most was precisely the church rate (Church rate).

“Why Anglican bastards collect taxes?”

“The Anglican Church even takes budget from the parliament! But must pay money again this is strange!”

“I must pay taxes to the Anglican church? Me? Why?”

The local Anglican church tears money. Regardless of what I believe. Just shut up and pay and if not paying receive legal punishment. More vicious than Republic of Korea Red Cross fees and more merciless than national pension. National pension at least returns but this is tax so the church I don’t even believe burps!

Roughly know the reason Birmingham people are full of anger.

So if I enter politics in Birmingham and further try to put on the member badge must learn demonic cult martial arts suitable for this bright red land.

- Right... so...

But not the end here.

Why did I try to eat as a member in Birmingham.

Soon the national marriage of the Joseon crown prince and Abi, and before that I am to receive a title.

Can I receive Queen Victoria’s favor even becoming a demonic cult member?

If I become a red can I survive in the upper house full of nobles?

This, means and ends reversing?

A thought that suddenly came after calling the demonic cult leader and that guardian.

Damn.

Will work somehow.

Once must get elected in the election and see.

***

Not long after finding a new house in Birmingham.

“Finally crossing the gate of this excellent house.”

“Invited why speaking like that.”

“Heung. Since not even seen the house owner’s face yet what if cursing a bit.”

All heard, this damn furry. And even if not seen my face saw the face of our house maid guiding. What sound chattering in front of those people.

Guts a bit aching, but since the one in need was me first greeted politely.

“Finally fate connected like this and invited you all. Nice to meet. Arthur Lee.”

“Friedrich Engels. Truly an honor to meet the renowned Representative Lee.”

“The reputation of <​Ermen & Engels> company I also heard well. After Mr. Engels participated in management the company leaped dazzlingly?”

“This. While silk hat wearing capitalist lords discussing big matters unknown whether a criminal like me can inhale the same breath in this seat.”

“Hey.”

The moment a somewhat soft and gentlemanly conversation place was about to open, Marx with full Nolbu mind suddenly started and Engels startled and tried to clean up.

But who am I.

My sales skill rank too high to frown at mere grumbling that degree.

“As said. Today not came out to do business but to tell stories that will suit your tastes. Please sit.”

“...Heum.”

As a renowned junior of the righteous faction the voice of conscience that must immediately cut and kill the heavenly demon is heard.

But this Arthur Lee. Prepared to willingly touch demonic art for the gold badge. As Master Palpatine said long ago demonic art is originally a path that can obtain power contrary to the providence of nature.

Elegant and splendid refreshments contained in Chinese porcelain sets were prepared for the two demonic cult members. The furry instead of slandering me saying ‘golden wine is the blood of a thousand people!’ was busy savoring the taste of soft and crispy cookies.

After sweet desserts and tea full of Indians’ blood appropriately filled their bellies.

“As expected coffee better than tea.”

Kill?

- Endure. The furry you called.

Damn.

If constantly doing private talk seemed would really achieve the feat of killing the cult leader so decided to enter the main point immediately.

“Already said by letter, but I now thinking of advancing to politics.”

“Heard Representative Lee’s businesses not only here Birmingham but even all Britain the employees’ welfare and satisfaction the best. If you advance to politics believe will definitely be a great help to Birmingham citizens and all Britain.”

“Heung! Ugly compromise of a capitalist what!”

“Hey!”

“No. Fine. Wanted to hear such opinions more.”

Need alcohol not tea, but cannot openly suck alcohol here so will endure. Instead nicotine prescription enters.

“You all are people shouting for the rapid progress and reform of this country and this world. No, not simply that level but hoping a huge revolution bursts and a new world opens. Wrong?”

“Will not deny.”

“So what if introduced seems revolutionary reaction will come to this country? That most curious.”

“Not revolution but achieve historical progress through the legislative process?”

“Originally one by one all accumulate and create meaningful change? Similar words in Eastern anecdotes too. A person alone moving a mountain so heaven helped.”

“Ultimately relied on heaven.”

“In Eastern philosophy heaven is also a divine being but also used as a term metaphorizing public sentiment. Can also interpret that if that sincerity and effort reach the extreme and unite public sentiment the world changes.”

- Now just attaching recklessly. Is the East your adhesive?

Whether tackles from the side or not, I steadily developed my dog shit logic.

The origin of the radical faction Birmingham.

To stand out politically here of course must show a more accelerated radical appearance than others.

The martial world masters invited for that were precisely the heavenly demon and left guardian who cannot be omitted if saying radicalness.

However seeing Engels tightly wrapped in polite pretense, and the furry equipped with sneer without etiquette or whatever seemed must modify the strategy a bit.

“Honestly speaking politics I know much better than you all?”

“Heum, well-”

“Rather than discussing the communist paradise that will not come or that day of revolution, better legislating even one bill that will substantially help suffering workers and lower class?”

“That day is destined to come. As long as this capitalist system squeezing people continues like now.”

“Right. So will squeeze gently this.”

Marx and Engels also because intervened in the large-scale revolution that occurred in Europe in 1848, bodies naturally familiar with all sorts of schemes and politics and conspiracies and fraud inside. Cannot regard as no connection with politics.

However I deliberately did not look at the situation and crushed.

Originally if a newbie who knows nothing scratches people psychology of giggling saying show off once, but if a guy who knows clumsily scratches immediately want to beat to death.

This was precisely the true strategy of provoking the general.

“So please speak comfortably once. What on earth law that can fundamentally help people living in this country, law that will revolutionarily overturn the future of this country?”

“If telling can do?”

“Haha. Saying such even seeing the achievements I accomplished in my 20s.”

A ment so arrogant that confidence seemed to reach the end of the universe.

The furry could no longer endure and pulled up his own demonic energy. Decided to show a sharp move to the martial world junior chattering all over!

“Then-”

“Ah. I have something I thought of in my own way.”

“Oh. Then please speak comfortably.”

But I cut the words precisely at that moment and immediately Engels responded as if blocking Marx’s mouth.

“Let’s see... roughly... free trade expansion and tariff barrier relaxation.”

“Puh.”

On the furry’s face was written ‘became boring and want to die’.

Let’s see how long that lasts once.

“Granting uniform universal suffrage to all adult British regardless of property, gender, religion etc. Guaranteeing secret ballot. Sweeping corrupt constituencies and reforming privatized constituencies.”

“...!”

“Prohibiting labor over 10 hours a day. Paying additional wages when working on holidays. Introducing legal minimum wage system that can maintain minimum livelihood. Introducing national medical insurance and national pension system for all workers. Compulsory free education for all children. Prohibiting child labor and introducing free meals so education can be conducted normally. Freedom of religion and abolition of discrimination according to religion. Prohibiting suppression of labor unions and guaranteeing the right to strike-”

“Stop!”

Bang!

Because the furry hit the table so hard the teacup almost fell. How much this is. A teacup received after transmitting the cuckoo skill to Qing’s Prince Chun. Even selling the furry to the slave market about three times seems cannot buy one of this teacup.

“Why on earth called us?”

“Why calling.”

“Now unable to distinguish whether meeting socialists or talking with a capitalist so doing this. Will introduce all that by law?”

“All unreasonable. Each one things someone cannot do even dedicating a lifetime.”

Ended. Now in these guys’ heads I am a clear demonic cult member. Mom dad sorry heuk heuk.

I stared at the furry and left guardian who had the momentum to beat the lowly and teach a lesson like a loser hiding power revealing the fact of being a munchkin cheat character.

Right.

A template development that can know just reading a few martial arts novels.

A peak master who tried to show the spicy taste of the martial world to third-rate wanderer riffraff.

But that third-rate wanderer was precisely a peak master hiding power- starting orthodox cider pattern.

The furry who has not yet achieved the heavenly demon divine art and obtained the authority of reversing heaven was mere a furry, and at the present point his and my ability were in a perfect upper-lower relationship.

Enjoying the appearance of an earthquake occurring in Marx and Engels’ eyes, I calmly drank one sip of tea.

“Perhaps unable to handle even this and talking about revolution?”

“...No, way.”

“Then if even part of what I proposed passes, seems the world will improve quite a bit?”

“Well. Did not know Representative Lee harbored such reform will toward the current society and trends. This, greatly obtaining learning today and going. Perhaps the reason calling us two was to participate in the upcoming worker conference?”

“Seeing your reactions I do not feel the need to go.”

Even Engels who tried to speak well well was scratched. Sorry. You are a fine person but your friend was bad.

And a fact known only later, that worker conference was precisely the heavenly demon divine cult great revival meeting that will be called <​First International> in the future, the founding assembly of the cult alliance. If going almost really fucked.

“Originally planned to ask to what line must urge reform and legislation... seeing your reactions roughly the estimate came out. Then instead want to ask something else.”

“What.”

“You all have experience engaging in revolution. So saying... want you to teach a bit of that struggle know-how.”

In the heads of the heavenly demon and left guardian a grand scene of me organizing a worker liberation zone holding a red flag in Birmingham seemed playing. Video even without seeing.

“Why struggle know-how?”

“Well democracy starts from the grassroots.”

Politics appropriately starts from the local party.

I will teach real democracy in this no-fun 19th century.
