    News of the general strike of millions of people in the western United States quickly spread to Europe. After all, the scale of the riots and strikes in the United States was not small. From the industrial town of Los Angeles in the west to the city of Houston in the south, the two southwest places have already  There began to appear like a flood, sweeping away.  It is impossible for the United States to completely close all external channels. In fact, many people have received news of the strike in the western United States before, but no one could have imagined that the scale would reach more than one million people. This is really  It far exceeded everyone's expectations, and many people even didn't realize it. Compared with the current war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, after all, in comparison, the total military strength of the border confrontation between Tsarist Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire,  It's probably not more than one million.

    This is completely different from what was originally expected, especially the U.S. government and capitalists. They would never have imagined that this matter would develop like this.  Originally, they thought that this time it would be like the previous black riots, which could be calmed down instantly, and that some poor people could cause something.

    Europe, like many people in the United States, was originally indifferent to the general strike in the western United States. After all, in comparison, the strike in the United States was too closely linked to interests that they had absolutely no interest in. After all, the loss from the strike was only the United States itself.  There are not a few people who think this way. In comparison, the war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia is in line with their own vital interests.  They are even worried that in the end, due to chain reactions, their country will be passively involved in the war.  Belgium thinks this way, the Netherlands thinks this way, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc., these small and medium-sized countries all view this intermittent war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia with complex eyes.

    These small countries are unable to fight and do not have much say, so the feeling of controlling their own interests and national security in the hands of other countries is definitely very unpleasant. This can be seen from the King of Sweden.  Know.

    "Frederick, I want to test you. What do you think we in Sweden need to do most now?"

    Oscar Gustav Adolf is fifty-five years old this year. For many people, this age has already entered a period of decline. However, Oscar is different from many people. In his opinion, now is the peak of his life.  At first, in his opinion, many people did not understand that he had so much dissatisfaction in his heart. He was dissatisfied with why he was born in a small country. Even in a small country, why should he be born into a royal family? This was for him  , it is really cruel. When he was a child, he watched his father work hard for the future of the country. But in the end, before he left this life and went to heaven, he still could not regain the glory of his grandfather. You must know that his grandfather was  The crowned king of Norway and Sweden.

    Following the death of his father, he took over the reins in 1907 at the age of forty-nine. Nearly six years have passed. However, he still seems to be the same, without much improvement in Sweden's status.  I have to say that it is a tragedy for myself and this country.

    Looking at my grandson, watching him grow step by step over the years, in my somewhat cowardly heart, I finally feel that I have found some comfort deep in my heart. Perhaps, my grandson can realize it for me.
