Twenty Seven Years Chapter 271

  Chapter 271 Becomes a passive party

  Ten minutes later, Nord drove the four of them to the substation set up by the Equality Association in Kip City.

  Kip City is not big. The reason why the sub-station was established so close to Laizein is that when the comrades in Laizein are restricted from moving, someone can respond in time.

   "Here we are." Nord parked the car on the side of the street, "Let's go."

  After the group got out of the car, Nord whispered to a comrade who was waiting on the side of the street: "Park the car in a safe place."

  The comrade gave a "hmm", nodded slightly to Boyne, Verack, Keating, and Winston, and then drove away alone.

   "Follow me." Nord then led the four of them through the alley to a tailor shop on another street next to the alley entrance.

  There are customers in the tailor shop, Nord is in danger, and while leading the four people in, he asks the boss: "Mr. Mellen, are the clothes we ordered a while ago ready?"

   "It's ready, it's in the locker room, and little Carl is also in it." The old Melen with white hair who was measuring the waist of the customer let a group of people into the locker room of the store.

   "Okay, let's go find him." Nord led the man into the locker room with ease.

   "Sir." The apprentice Carl stood inside respectfully.

   "Open the door." Nord said.

Little Carl came to one side of the hanger, moved the clothes away, and opened the secret door hidden behind the hanger: "Please come in, Chairman Boyne, Comrade Veraker, Comrade Keating, Comrade Nord, and Winston Comrade."

   "We can still recognize it if we pretend to be like this?" Boin walked to the secret door and touched the head of the clever little Carl.

  Since they entered the territory of Brexi, they have been disguised very tightly, coupled with the fake identity certificates arranged by their own helpers, they have been careful all the way back to Kipu City safely.

   "Comrade Nord said he was going to pick you up when he went out, and he will definitely bring everyone with him when he comes back." Little Carl showed a bright smile.

   "Really smart." Boyin rarely showed a smile.

  In the tailor's shop, from the seventy-year-old Meren to the young Carl in his early ten years, they are all members of the Equality Society. Comrades are spread across all age groups and professions. This is something that the enemy rarely sees hope at present.

   "Let's go." Boyin entered the secret door first and came to a meeting room.

  The meeting room is not too big or small, with a long table in the middle, books and documents piled up on both walls, and there is a door opposite them.

  Boin, who came in from the tailor shop, pointed to the door facing him: "Where does that lead?"

"It's like this. In order to ensure that we can evacuate in time in case of emergencies, a secret passage was specially opened some time ago. Through this secret passage, we can enter the utility room of the restaurant next to the tailor shop." Nord, who finally came in, explained, "Please sit down."

   "Are you all on such tight guard now?" Verak sat down and asked.

"As a last resort, the government is now strictly investigating Laizein and surrounding cities. Comrade Morais said that we must take countermeasures to ensure the safety of comrades." After the four sat down, Nord poured water for them one by one, " Everyone has been driving for more than ten days, so take a good rest first. I have arranged for Carl to buy some food, and he should be here in a while."

Winston took the water glass, thanked Nord, and then got down to business: "We've all rested in the car, and now that Francois has made such a big move, I think it's best for us to wait before meeting Morais." , first discuss the countermeasures and make good use of the time."

"That's right." Keating agreed, "Nord said that since yesterday, the government has put pressure on us by shooting comrades and civilians. Now time is life. If we come up with a solution earlier, we can Fewer innocent people die."

   "Shooting... I don't think Bresci has the death penalty..." Winston was surprised by Francois's brutal behavior.

   "Now there is." Nord said.

  When there was no death penalty in the past, the government would openly shoot and kill the comrades of the Equality Society on the street under the name of "the rebellious party is stubbornly resisting and seriously threatening the safety of civilians".

  To this day, under Francois's determination to eradicate the Equality Association and restore the monarchy, the death penalty has also been restored.

  Verak took a sip of water in silence.

  He thought of himself.

  If he had been sentenced to death when he was caught, he would not have gone to Daymans Prison, but would have shot him in public 'to make an example of others'.

"Francois is determined to make a break." Boin held the water glass and was not in the mood to drink water. "In this case, it is not surprising that he does anything. We have to be aware of the possibility of Prepare yourself for a worse situation."

   "Yes, if we still don't show up and there is no movement from the public, he will definitely do some more extreme things." Nord nodded.

"What is in front of us is to fight, or not to fight. To fight, they have an army in command, how can we win? If not to fight, what power can be used to make Francois retreat?" Keating said Simply show their current direction.

  Villac suggested: "François dissolved the National Assembly and wanted to restore the monarchy, which undoubtedly touched the interests of many people. Should we set our direction on uniting these people?"

   "You mean those in the government?" Boyne looked at Verak.

   "Yes." Verac said.

   This line of thinking was learned by him when he was in the Old South Treaty. At that time, the Sdar people among the immigrant forces tried to obtain benefits by attaching to different factions that were constantly fighting.

  But Dunman is not the only one with many forces within the government, and the same is true for Bresci.

   Otherwise, Francois would not have prepared for a long time, and finally made a surprise attack and took the power into his own hands.

"This Morais has thought about it, but this move is still a bit risky. What if this is a trick set by Francois? We are hostile to the government as a whole. After going too deep with some of the factions , how to deal with a lot of things?" Nord interrupted, and told several people what Morais and the others had concluded during the meeting.

"Indeed, and this group of people has their own ulterior motives. If you join forces with them, you may be used as a stepping stone before you kill Francois." Keating also doesn't recommend getting too close to those forces, at least for now. The meeting does not have enough experience to cooperate and deal with them safely.

  The meeting room became extremely quiet.

  Everyone is racking their brains to figure out a way out.

"We still have to explore in the direction pointed out by Comrade Keating, and think about how to win if we fight, and how to instigate all parties to force Francois to give up pressure if we don't fight." Boyin glanced at the serious-looking people, "In short , We can't afford to spend so much with the government, and now we are the passive party.”
