Twenty Seven Years Chapter 285

  Chapter 285 Fully activated

"The key to victory..." Joseph played with these words, "Killing a Pissel will not change the situation, because several regiments that pose a fatal threat to equality are still stationed here. So the key you are referring to is not just assassination Pissel, but after assassinating him, I will lead the regiment, provide convenience for you and even take refuge in you."

  Joseph was able to become the head of the cavalry regiment from a civilian background, and his acuity was not inferior to force, and he saw through Adel's true purpose at a glance.

  However, Adel himself did not intend to hide it. After a simple test, he boldly began to disclose information to Joseph: "Yes, I hope that after solving Pissel, you can lead these three corps to join the Equality Association."

"It's impossible." Joseph resolutely refused, "First, it's not difficult to really want to kill Pissel, but a person like me with no background is able to get to where I am today because Pissel likes my ability, He pushed me up against all odds. Without him, let alone succeeding him, I might not even be able to keep the position of commander of the cavalry regiment. Second, even if I was entrusted with an important task by the government in an emergency, I became General, in command of these three corps, it is difficult to use my power in the army to change their minds. Third, even if I can bring them to join you, this will not solve the problem fundamentally. Don't forget Lazer There are still two guard regiments in Yinli, and there are nearly a hundred regiments outside Laizein."

"You are right, but of course I have already solved all these problems before I came to you." Adel gave his solutions one by one, "You don't need to worry about the first point, there are indeed many dignitaries in the military, but There is no one whose prestige can reach your level, and when the Equality Association finishes assassinating Pissel in a high-profile manner, the position of general will become a hot potato. No one dares to become a new target of the Equality Association at this time. If you kick it off, it will immediately push you up."

"and then?"

Adel went on to say: "Second point, the Equality Society will still assist you. The idea that all people are born equal and should have dignity can sweep Lezein, the world, and there is no reason why it can't work in the army. I believe that as long as people , as long as you are in the midst of injustice, you will yearn for the light.”

   "It's not that simple. The military is strictly controlled, unlike the loose people. The sweep of the Equal Society will definitely be noticed, and I will be the first person to be investigated." Joseph shook his head, feeling that the feasibility is not high.

   "If it is infiltrated secretly, it will definitely not work, but if the idea of ​​equality sweeps past with an unstoppable momentum, who can stop it?"

   "And then?" Joseph temporarily put aside the second point.

"The third point is the least problem, because we also understand the situation. Now it will do more harm than good for you to turn against each other on the surface. Only you can maintain the stability on the surface. Secret peace and equality will strengthen the relationship, and slowly emptied, eroded, and subverted Fu. The rule of Rancois is the safest and most feasible way." Adel said.

   Joseph was silent.

  Adel was not in a hurry, just waited quietly for him to think things through, and resolved any problems and doubts as soon as possible.

   "I have one biggest problem." Joseph stared at Adel in confusion, "Why do you say this so confidently? You are not afraid that I will agree to you on the surface, but actually join forces with the government to destroy the Equality Association?"

"As I said, I have secretly investigated you before I met you. Based on the information I have, I believe you have not changed, and you will agree." Adel took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Joseph first. , "Do you still smoke?"

   "Smoking." Joseph took it and lit it with a match.

  Adel took out another half, lit it and took a sip, and looked at Joseph who was in a similar posture with a smile: "You haven't changed."

   "Huh..." Breathing out a puff of smoke, Joseph's expression was still serious, "What information do you have? You can be sure that I will not push you back into the abyss."

"For more than twenty years, you have never stopped sending money to the homes of comrades who were killed by Pissel in that battle. Most people don't know about this, and you just keep yourself poor You have persisted until now. You have a high prestige in the army, not only because of your outstanding achievements, but also because you are considerate of your subordinates, and you are clear about rewards and punishments. It is a meaningless sacrifice, so they reward you, dare to fight hard..." Adel pointed out what Joseph had done and his style of conduct.

   "Are these your reasons?" Joseph shook his head slightly as if he didn't think he was special.

"These are enough to show that you are a person who cares about the feelings of others. Now you have a choice in front of you, which allows you to lead your men to do more meaningful things, and even make more meaningful sacrifices, to fight for freedom, Fight for yourself, instead of being a tool of the government, die silently, like an ant. No one should be an ant, they all have their own life! This life should not be taken away by anyone! Trample! Use !” After speaking, Adel gritted his teeth, and his tone continued to increase.

  Joseph knew very well that what Adel was referring to was not only the soldiers of the three current regiments, but also the young soldiers of their company more than 20 years ago.

   "Don't you hate me?" Joseph asked with shame.

   "I don't hate it." Adel said, smoking a cigar.

"Why? Back then I was the only person who knew about the action. If I had been brave enough to tell the truth, maybe I would have died instead of hundreds of you." Joseph couldn't understand Adel, who was actually Get ready to be questioned and beaten by Adel to vent your anger.

"To be honest, I used to hate you." Adel took a deep breath, "I hated you to the core when I escaped from birth. I have saved you so many times on the battlefield, I thought we were like brothers, but But you were determined to kill all of us and the company together with Pissel."

   Joseph lowered his head, unable to meet Adel's eyes.

"But then I understood... When I accused you, wasn't I too cowardly and afraid to resist? I stood up to restore the truth without being on the battlefield, and asked Pissel for an explanation. I just pretended to be dead, and I just fled to the very end. Far away... So I understand you, and I am grateful that you were willing to save me in such a dangerous last moment, instead of killing me and letting the secret be sealed forever."

"...I'm sorry for you, I am very responsible for the deaths of hundreds of brothers in a row." Joseph's conscience is suffering every day, and it is this suffering that keeps him from changing. Company Commander, "I also thought about whether to do something, but when I thought about your life and death being unknown, and Pissel's power is overwhelming, I can't stand up alone at this time and I can't make any troubles, so I can only give up the idea and continue to live like this go down."

   "Your idea is right. Instead of hitting a stone with a pebble rashly, it is better to wait patiently and wait for the best opportunity." Adel felt that waiting for him and Joseph more than 20 years later might be the most correct way of revenge.

  Joseph's brows didn't stretch, but he seemed to look away: "All of this may be predestined, and now is the most suitable opportunity for revenge in the past twenty years."

  Feeling a change in Joseph's intentions, Adel's confidence increased: "Yes, he must pay for the lives of his brothers who died in vain, and maximize his value."

   "Killing him, for me, is finally letting go of the past."

  “The choice you made more than 20 years ago was not necessarily right or wrong. Now there are new choices in front of us. I hope we can all make a difference.”

"I can do it."

  The key step is done.

  Adel pursed his lips in relief and nodded.

"Let me also talk about my request." Joseph made a decision under tremendous pressure, "Pissel must die, and this matter will be handed over to the Equality Association. I know there is an intelligence department in the Equality Association , I can first give the point of Pissel's usual security omissions, so that you can carry out the assassination as soon as possible. After that, I will do my best to get into Pissel's position, and you can arrange a few more fake assassinations of me to help I sit tight and reduce other people's doubts about me."

   "No problem." Adel agreed.

"Afterwards, I will not interfere with your spreading ideas, and I can help you secretly if you have any plans, but until you have won a decisive victory, I will not bring people to join you openly. For example, I became a general, and the subsequent government found I have found some ways to attack you, and if it is beyond my ability to help secretly, I can only look at you, don't expect me to lead the corps to open the situation.” Joseph thought for the sake of the people under his hands, trying to ensure that the situation would not be made public until the situation became clear. Stand in line to avoid disaster.

   Adel doesn't mind this, they planned it that way themselves, even if Joseph wants to openly defect before the overall situation is established, the members of the Equality Association will not agree: “Then what do you mean by decisive victory?”

   "At least you don't have to worry about the threat posed by the nearly 100 corps stationed everywhere besides Laize."

   "Okay." Adel had no comment.

"Of course, if your thoughts are really so magical, I think that no matter what I decide, they will choose to fight for themselves." Joseph thinks this condition is not harmful to the Equality Association, as long as they are really Ah As Del said, everything he mentioned is not a problem.

   "Yes, the final choice is still in their hands." Adel snuffed out the cigar.

Joseph watched Adel's movements, and confirmed again: "Are you really not afraid that I just agreed with you on the surface? After all, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and your deeper understanding of me is still the same as before. "

   "I have dealt with thousands of people in prison, and I have only seen one person in so many years." Adel has a basis and his own self-confidence.

   "Who?" Joseph was curious.

   "Most Verak."

   "I've heard of this name, the one that is rumored to look exactly like Thomas Chris, the early leader of the Equality Society?"

   "That's right, he led the prisoners to escape from the prison in an impossible situation...I have the opportunity to tell you about him." Adel said.

   Joseph also tapped on the cigar, shaking off the burning ash: "So when will the plan start?"

"The sooner the better, many innocent people are executed every day." Adel does not want any more innocent people to be killed as tools, "I will tell them the situation when I go back tonight, and if necessary Let's have a face-to-face discussion and make arrangements as soon as possible, and if it's not necessary, let me do the hub contacts in secret.”

   "Thank you for still believing in me." Joseph thanked him sincerely.

  What he is most sorry for is Adel who has saved him many times, but he himself watched him die.

   Fortunately, even if he was let down, Adel did not forget the past.

   "In the final analysis, we are all tools to be manipulated and manipulated. This time, I hope that through revenge, we can remove the chains around everyone's necks." Adel is bound to win.

  Late at night, Adel, who had talked with Joseph for a long time, returned to the Equality Association's main station.

  Boin, Morais, Verac, and Keating had been discussing things in the conference hall after dinner and waiting for him to come back.

   "How is it?" Boyne looked at Adel who entered the conference hall.

  Adel has always been expressionless, making it difficult for people to search for useful information from his face.

   "It's done." Adel didn't make a fool of himself. After sitting down, he told Joseph about his conversation with Joseph and Joseph's request for cooperation.

  After listening, Morais didn't take it seriously: "We can accept what he mentioned. This kind of cooperation is beneficial to us as a whole, and it is undoubtedly a win-win situation."

"Adel talked very well. We have enough evidence and your extraordinary vision. If you are prepared at this time, you can trust Colonel Joseph to take a gamble. The next priority is to make a foolproof assassination against Pissel Afterwards, the Propaganda Department shifted its direction to focus on the army, and we continued to develop steadily while the Corps turned a blind eye, opened a cooperative factory to practice Winston's ideas, and gradually took control of Laizein.” Boyin thought The development path for the next few months and years.

   "Well, no matter what, I can't make enough guarantees on my own. You should be on guard against Joseph and continue to be on guard." Adel didn't feel bad because of this, and he would have saved his hand to avoid accidents.

  Byne also knew that Adel was a sensible person, so he didn't hide it in front of him: "The plan for dealing with emergencies has been prepared early in the morning, and it will be implemented after the discussion on your side."

   "I have one more request." Adel said.

"you say."

   "I want to participate in the assassination of Pissel, and kill him with my own hands." Adel has had countless dreams of killing Pissel, and now it can finally come true, he must do it himself.

   "Yes." Adel is very skilled, and his participation will not slow down the assassination team, so Boin has no reason to refuse, "The task of assassinating Pissel will be entrusted to you and Morais."

  Verak and Keating looked at Boyne, waiting for his arrangement.

After Morais and Adel settled down, Boyne looked at Verac and Keating: "The Equality Society cannot be stagnated because of the government's suppression. Comrade Keating can prepare for the establishment of the club school. Comrade Verac is ready. Go with Comrade Winston to set up a cooperative factory to test the correctness and practicality of those theories."
