They said: "The fruits of your hard work have been taken away by the factory. They are the real exploiters who are squeezing you!"

"If you don't believe me, go and see. Those factory workers live much more comfortably than you do. They use your food to buy the meat they eat."

They also asked: "Who is the revolution for? Why can urban residents get more supplies, while you can only rely on work points?"

They even composed a ballad: "Listen, workers, are the peasants suffering? The factories eat the big guys, and the peasants have nothing to cook!"

In addition to these measures, they also promised that it was a great thing for the farmers to come to the city to "support the revolution", so they could get a sum of work points as a reward, and at the same time, they could also get material subsidies in the city.

Thus, driven by both interests and emotions, a peasant team of more than a thousand people, holding a banner that read "Support the revolution, unity between workers and peasants", soon entered the Magic City in a mighty force.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 246 The Revolutionary Committee is established and a new era is coming!

After the peasants entered the city, the team initially just marched on the streets, shouting slogans such as "Workers exploit peasants" and "Reject worker exploitation."

At first, the team just marched along the main street, seemingly just expressing their demands. However, gradually, the direction of the team changed, and under some seemingly unintentional "guidance", it walked outside the industrial area.

The group began to march around the factory and tried to force their way into the factory premises.

The workers were caught off guard by this sudden action and quickly gathered together to try to stop the farmers' actions. For a moment, the sounds of pushing and shouting were mixed together, and the conflict between the two forces quickly intensified.

In this situation, as long as there is a fuse, such as a gunshot or the death of a person, the entire conflict will instantly escalate into an uncontrollable large-scale armed conflict, causing hundreds or thousands of casualties.

The industrial machines worth billions of dollars in the industrial zone are also very likely to be destroyed in the chaos, causing huge economic losses.

When the news reached the Reform and Construction Department, Wang Hongwen rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

He climbed onto the platform and looked down at the chaotic crowd with a frown on his face.

The person behind the scenes...this method is extremely vicious.

During the revolutionary era, a famous strategy was to "surround the cities from the countryside," but today this strategy seems to be used in a completely different way.

After the establishment of the national policy of developing communes, the functions of "towns" have been replaced by "communes", while the functions of "villages" are performed by "production brigades". These grassroots organizations are responsible for the production and management of the entire rural society.

If the conflict resulted in casualties, the news would inevitably spread quickly to every commune outside the city, arousing wider peasant dissatisfaction.

At that time, perhaps hundreds of thousands or millions of farmers will flock to the cities, becoming a disorderly and destructive force.

Therefore, when dealing with current conflicts, you must be quick and not drag it out. Every minute of delay is a risk.

Wang Hongwen made a quick decision. He turned to his assistant and said, "Contact all the surrounding factories immediately and send at least 50,000 people to support us!"

At the same time, he calmly directed on the scene: "First, immediately select worker comrades who are from the same hometown as these farmers and ask them to come forward to talk to the farmers. Be sure to stabilize their emotions, let them calm down, and do not intensify the conflict.

Second, immediately arrange factory broadcasts to explain the situation to everyone, emphasize the importance of unity between workers and peasants, and do not allow unfounded rumors and slogans to continue to spread.

Third, send a few calm and reliable people to the crowd to observe who is the mastermind behind the scenes, keep an eye on them, and find evidence! "

Relieve emotions, soothe people's hearts, and identify the mastermind behind the scenes. After a series of moves, the effect will soon be seen.

After listening to the broadcast, some farmers began to hesitate and whispered: "What they said makes sense. Are we really being taken advantage of?"

However, some farmers remained unmoved. They were emotional, waving hoes and rakes, angrily waving at the workers, and shouting: "Don't try to fool us, we will never give up until we enter the factory!"

Faced with the signs of escalating conflict, the workers in the factory did not back down. They quickly formed a human wall and built an indestructible barrier with their bodies.

The farmers who were at the front raised their hoes and swung them hard at the workers. Some even rushed over and punched and kicked them in an attempt to tear open a gap.

In the pushing and shoving, several workers fell to the ground and were injured. One worker's arm was cut by an iron rake and blood flowed down his wrist.

But the workers still held hands, gritted their teeth, and guarded the gate firmly.

As the standoff continued, a worker quietly discovered a few suspicious guys in the crowd. These people did not look like ordinary farmers, did not participate in the conflict, and seemed unusually calm.

He immediately reported the situation to Wang Hongwen.

After hearing this, Wang Hong narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Very good, these people are the masterminds! Remember their appearance, don't alarm them yet, and wait for the support team to arrive before catching them out!"

Soon after, support teams of workers arrived one after another, and the number quickly grew to more than 50,000.

A huge crowd of people gathered from all directions to the factory area and surrounded the peasant team. These workers were dressed in neat work clothes and held red flags in their hands. The team was neat and uniform, and the momentum was like a rushing mountain torrent.

When the farmers saw this scene, their originally high spirits were immediately suppressed.

The hoes and rakes in the hands of many people hung down limply, and they no longer had the arrogance they had before to wave them at the workers and injure them.

Wang Hongwen picked up the radio and said in a gentle tone: "Fellow villagers, we are all workers and farmers. If you have any needs or opinions, please feel free to raise them. We will help!

Please believe that we workers have never and will never stand against you! "

Finally, the peasants laid down their weapons under the workers' persuasion and powerful formation, and the workers in the encirclement opened a gap in time, allowing them to line up in several lines and leave quietly.

Those who were identified as the masterminds behind the conflict wanted to take advantage of the situation and escape, but they were quickly surrounded and firmly controlled by the workers who had been keeping an eye on them.

In the end, this riot that could have caused hundreds of casualties was successfully resolved by Wang Hongwen. Except for a few slightly injured workers, no one died, and the mastermind behind the incident was found out in time, and the incident was resolved perfectly.

Afterwards, the Revolutionary Committee announced in the form of leaflets that the mastermind behind all these conspiracies, from the Red Guards to the peasants moving into the city, was none other than the Demon City Prefectural Committee!

The whole city was in an uproar.

The prestige of the Magic City Prefectural Committee plummeted.

However, in the face of public outcry and condemnation, the Shanghai Prefectural Committee quickly resorted to another tactic - retreat in order to advance.

"Since you say we are not doing a good job, then we will not do it anymore!"

After this sentence came out from the closed-door meeting of the Prefectural Party Committee, it immediately became a silent command.

Afterwards, all departments under the Prefectural Committee, including finance, industry, electricity, water conservancy, postal service, railways, etc., were shut down.

Power and water supply were cut off, the postal system stopped operating, there was no one to load and unload goods at the train station, and bus services were also suspended... Shanghai, this industrial metropolis with a population of tens of millions, immediately fell into chaos.

The Demon City Prefectural Committee just watched all this with cold eyes.

They want to see how this city can run without their leadership!

Someone snorted coldly: "How long can they last without us? I want to see how these self-righteous guys manage this huge city."

Someone said calmly: "It's good to let them mess around. This will highlight our importance. There will always be people who will come back to beg us."

The consequences of the shutdown in Shanghai are not limited to Shanghai.

As one of the world's industrial centers, Shanghai has the world's largest port, Shanghai Port, which is the hub of global industrial logistics, with an average daily container handling volume of more than 100,000 standard containers.

As various industrial leading departments shut down, the ports were left unattended, the loading and unloading equipment were left unmanned, and the goods piled up like mountains.

Every day, hundreds of cargo ships are waiting to dock, but there is no one to command or dispatch them, so they can only anchor on the sea outside the port, honking their horns one after another.

The workers on the dock watched as the fleet gathered in larger and larger numbers and the cargo piled up, but due to the lack of command from their superiors, they had no idea where to start and could only look on their faces in pain.

They feel extremely heartbroken about the damage to national property!

Faced with this situation, the leadership of the Reform and Construction Bureau held an emergency meeting.

Wang Hongwen slammed the table and stood up at the meeting, his voice full of anger: "They actually used such means! Ignoring the production and life of tens of millions of people in Shanghai, ignoring the loss of state property! What a reactionary act!"

The worker representative was Zhang Kongshan, whose face was equally livid. Perhaps he was too naive and had never imagined that the Magic City Prefectural Committee would dare to go to such an extent.

"Capitalists will dump thousands of tons of unsold milk into the river during an economic crisis. How is the behavior of the Demon City Prefectural Committee different from that of the ugliest and most decadent bourgeoisie?

They put their own interests above the revolution and the people. They are not worthy of being called the people's cadres! "

The student representative was Ye Wenjie, who said in a grim tone: "In the capitalist era, capitalists told workers, 'If we don't provide you with jobs, you will starve to death.'

However, workers have proved that without capitalists, they will only be happier.

And now, the Prefectural Committee tells us, 'Without the leadership of the Prefectural Committee, you are nothing.'

But we can also prove that even without the prefectural committee, the workers can still lead themselves!"

Someone shouted, "Yes, if they won't do it, then we will do it; if they won't lead, then we will lead!"

"Ye Wenjie is right! We can't let the people suffer because of their corruption. Our Reform and Construction Department will take over the departments they have shut down!"

Wang Hongwen clenched his fist and said in a strong voice: "Notify all factories and communities and gather all the people who can take action! We must use the power of workers and the people to take over the water supply, electricity supply, transportation, etc., and restore normal production and life in the Magic City!"

General Revolutionary Secretary took immediate action.

Their first step was to explain the situation to the people of the city through radio and leaflets, expose the despicable behavior of the district committee, and call on everyone to unite and overcome the difficulties together.

Afterwards, they organized a group of experienced engineers and technical workers to take over the various shut down departments, including power supply, water supply, railway and public transportation systems, and the basic operations of the city were restored.

The Port of Shanghai is the focus of resuming production, and the daily cargo transportation of this port directly affects the global supply chain.

The Reform and Manufacturing Bureau dispatched millions of people from various factories to the Port of Shanghai to load and unload goods. At the same time, it conducted emergency negotiations with foreign ships stationed in the port, striving for cooperation from all parties and coordinating the delay of foreign ships docking to ensure the restoration of dispatch order.

In addition, the Reform and Construction Department quickly contacted nearby cities to urgently transport supplies. Large quantities of food, fuel, and industrial supplies were continuously transported to the Magic City from surrounding areas, alleviating the urgent shortage of supplies.

In just one week, the Magic City emerged from the chaos of the shutdown and got back on track.

And the bureaucrats of the Demon City Prefectural Committee... they finally realized a fact that made them shudder.

It turns out that their existence is not necessary.

They have the power to lead simply because they sit in that position, not because they lead because only they can lead.

The source of this leadership power, seemingly top-down, comes from appointment by superiors.

But the Great Revolution overturned all that.

The unshakable authority of the superior was broken, and the original power foundation was also subverted.

The reason why they still hold power is that they still hold the management rights over production, life, economy and politics.

The most important of these is the right to manage the economy and the right to control the means of production.

However, they made a fatal mistake and did something very stupid. They actually gave up the right to manage the economy with their own hands!

And this most important power has been controlled by the Reform and Development Department.

In other words, the power base of the Magic City Prefectural Committee has collapsed. They are no longer needed and have no meaning for their existence!

Yao Wuchang...As the first secretary of the Magic City, after realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine to his entire body.

It is they who need the people, not the people who need them; it is they who cannot live without the people, not the people who cannot live without them.

This is a fact that was already clear as early as the revolutionary era.

But why would he forget it and put it behind him?

Shaking his head, Yao Wuchang brushed away the thought.

"Although I made an important wrong move, I haven't lost yet!"

After this, Yao Wuchang did not accept defeat.

Although the situation in the Magic City Prefectural Committee was hopeless, he still tried to make use of his remaining connections and resources to turn the situation around.

But soon, the General Revolutionary Committee came to the headquarters building of the Prefectural Party Committee and arrested him.

Afterwards, the General Office of Revolution officially took over all powers of the Prefectural Committee.

However, the General Revolutionary Committee did not choose to continue the old system of the Prefectural Committee, but instead established a completely new state apparatus - the Magic City Revolutionary Committee.

The Revolutionary Committee is composed of representatives of workers, students and other masses, and military representatives, and generally has seven members. It fully embodies the spirit of the "Paris Commune". It is elected by the masses, can be replaced at any time, negotiate together, and is responsible to the people.

The establishment of the Demon City Revolutionary Committee has attracted great attention from the Su Yan Central Committee and even socialist countries around the world.

Li Runshi and Wang Chunjiang expressed high praise for this system.

Li Runshi said: "The Revolutionary Committee system is a bold innovation. It inherits the essence of the Paris Commune and combines it with the practical tasks of continuing the revolution. It is the people's power of the new era!"

Wang Chunjiang stressed: "This is a new path opened up by the people in practice, and it is a fundamental subversion of the bureaucratic system that has existed for thousands of years! The people are not only the masters of production, but also the masters of governing the country."

Afterwards, as the Great Revolution continued, the model of the Revolutionary Committee was quickly spread from Shanghai to all parts of the country. Provincial Revolutionary Committees, Prefectural Revolutionary Committees, etc. replaced the old provincial, municipal, and county party committees and other bureaucratic institutions, forming a complete new management system from the central government to the local levels.

The birth of the Revolutionary Committee marked a major exploration of the socialist political system by Su Yan under the guidance of the theory of continuing revolution.

The original state machine composed of professional bureaucrats was broken down and rebuilt. Workers, peasants, students, soldiers - these pioneers of the revolution are now not only the main force of production, but also the managers of production and the real holders of state power.

With the establishment of the new system, the future of socialism is visibly brighter and is getting closer to a true communist society.

A brand new era has arrived!

...

PS:

The foolish practice of the Shanghai Prefectural Committee in giving up production management rights is not fabricated.
