Twenty Seven Years Chapter 288

  Chapter 288 Winding Up

After staying with Keating and the others for a while, and finding that their current jobs were relatively easy and there was nothing that needed help, Verac and Winston walked to the residence together, deciding to study "Class Theory" thoroughly, and then formally prepare for the cooperative factory things.

Now under the pressure of the government, the living space of the Equality Association is extremely limited, and it is difficult to arrange a special office. Verak did not force it. Anyway, no matter how hard or difficult the days are, we have survived, and now this is not a challenge at all. .

   On the way back, the two ran into Piaf, who was in a hurry. After stopping for a brief conversation, Verak learned that Piaf decided to send people from the Propaganda Department to infiltrate the army, and should cooperate internally and externally to carry out propaganda.

   This will undoubtedly put those sent there in danger, but it may also be the fastest and most effective way for them to spread the idea of ​​equality to the last so-called 'forbidden zone'.

  Villac did not interfere with Piaf's decision, but only told her to be extremely careful in everything.

  Backing in the room, Winston perfected his research according to the different national conditions of Pluman and Brecy, while Verack read the Brecy version of "Class Theory".

  As he read it, he felt more and more that the birth of this book was like a dawn in a world that had fallen into eternal night.

  That is different from the man-made, weak bonfire, which can really lead people to the light, the light that comes from the sky and already exists.

   Simply put, "Theory of Classes" can be divided into two parts.

  The first half is the criticism and exposure of capitalism, and the second half is the conception and design of the future world.

"On Equality" only touches on the first half of "Treatise on Classes", and only focuses on the issues of equality and inequality, while "Treatise on Classes" covers a wide range. The first half of the content criticizes the capitalist system and condemns The evils of capitalist primitive accumulation. Put forward important theoretical viewpoints such as economic conditions are the basis of political system, private ownership produces class and class exploitation, and then use this to analyze history and current situation, and realize the exploitative nature of the capitalist system.

  The second half, based on rigorous logic, boldly designs the blueprint of the future world with the big factory as the prototype, depicting a brand-new society with high material and spiritual civilization.

  The establishment of a cooperative factory is to verify whether the second half of "Theory of Classes" is correct. As long as it is correct, it means that the Equality Association has obtained the key to open the door to the new world, and the next thing to do is to go over and go in.

  —A rational state and society should be established, and everything that contradicts eternal reason should be ruthlessly eradicated.

  —Transition from capitalism to new doctrine must go through a process of social transformation.

  —Society develops from a low stage to a high stage, and keeps rising, and will not stay in a constant state.

   "Hiss..." Verak scratched his head while watching.

  The content of "The Theory of Classes" is very complicated, which caused a headache for Verac, who hadn't read much.

   "What's the matter?" Seeing Veraker's distressed look, Winston thought it was some mistake in his book.

   "I..." Verak was a little embarrassed, "I don't quite understand..."

   "What can't you understand?" Winston put down his work and walked over.

  Villac pointed to the data argumentation in the book: "I haven't read the book very much. It is difficult to read these contents. It may take a long time to finish reading..."

"Well... this book is indeed different from the equality theory you read before. It may seem more difficult, but it is because of this that it is deep enough to break the barriers that capital has set for us. Let us lift the curtain and understand how to change the world.”

   "You're right, I'm just worried I'm going to take too long trying to figure it out."

"This includes the research that I have combined the works of many scholars with my own practice over the years. If you say that you will understand it soon, I will feel inappropriate. I think as long as you really understand it, even if it takes a year It's okay, but the most fearful thing is that you don't understand it, practice it ignorantly and eventually fail, and deny its value.” What Winston really values ​​is understanding the content, they have been here for so many years, not bad It takes time to read a book, "In addition, the theory of class is not complete, because a lot of my research work has not been completed, such as fundamentally and completely clarifying the most important and basic problems in the capitalist economy..."

   "It's too complicated." Verak didn't quite understand.

   "In short, when I complete this research, the content of class theory can be ten times more than what it is now." Winston revealed the final volume of this work.

  Verak was secretly surprised at first, but soon felt that this was normal. Analyzing the way the world works and its essence, and exploring a new world, how can it be understood in a few words.

  It is about the world, and the content must be huge and complicated.

  This is also a major drawback of "Theory of Equality", which is too shallow. Of course, if nothing happened to Chris, he might have written something more valuable in this year.

  Perhaps only someone like Chris can have the most intense collision with Winston and jointly produce subversive things.

  Verak felt a little regretful.

  He hasn't read much, and he has surpassed most people in the slums just by knowing how to read. After that, most of the knowledge was forced to learn by Laizein and taught by Keating when he was in prison.

   But even so, he found that he was still far behind, and it was difficult to understand even a book. Unlike Chris, Winston, and Piaf, they can create such great works.

  My own value is not as great as theirs after all.

   Working hard by themselves, one life can't change much, but their in-depth research is the key to changing the world.

  Verak hopes that everything stops here.

   People like myself should not appear again in the future.

  In the future, children like Dawn's daughter will have equal learning resources, everyone's talent will not be obliterated, everyone has unlimited possibilities, and they can live out their own lives freely.

   "Then I will continue to watch." Verac inadvertently figured out something. He can't be a person like Chris and Winston, but he will realize his value.

   "Well, feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything." Winston didn't know what was going on in Veraker's mind, so he patted Veraker on the shoulder and returned to his desk to start his own research again.

  Villac glanced at Winston's serious back, and continued to read "Class Theory".

   Time flies, hours of meetings going on here and there fly by. At noon, everyone gathered in the cafeteria and continued to discuss issues while eating.

   This lively scene has almost become a tradition of the Equal Society.

   "Charles, we need you to arrange people to check the terrain in advance, the strength of the patrol guards and the patrol route..."

   "Comrade Charles, our people plan to infiltrate the enemy's interior for propaganda, and we need your help to clear the route..."

   "Comrade Charles..."

   "Charles..."

   Among them, Charles, the Minister of Intelligence, is under the greatest pressure. Almost every team and department needs the assistance of their intelligence department to carry out their work. Their manpower immediately becomes stretched and it is difficult to take care of them all.

  In order to clear his mind, Veraker did not work so hard to study "The Theory of Class" while eating. He sat with Winston and listened to the discussions from all directions from time to time during the meal.

   "They were so enthusiastic..." Winston sighed.

   "This is the Equality Association. They are a group of enthusiastic people who are full of energy in everything they do." Verak smiled and pawed at the meal.

"There are so many comrades who are willing to give everything during the most difficult time of the Equality Association, so it must be even more unstoppable when the wind is down." Winston felt his blood boil after eating, "I think for us, victory is only a matter of time .”

  Verak didn't dare to say it so lightly: "It depends on the next key step, whether you can control Laizein."

"Um."

  Because the cafeteria was already overcrowded when they arrived, Veraker didn't think of going to sit with Keating and the others, but sat down and ate when he saw that there was an empty seat.

  Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Ross chatting with people from the Propaganda Department.

   "Ross?" Verak called out.

  Ross turned around: "Verak?"

   "Do you know the mission of your Propaganda Department?" Verak asked.

   "Of course I know. Minister Piaf held a meeting with us in the morning and told us all about the situation. We are responsible for promoting it to the Corps." Ross replied.

   "Then what task have you been assigned?" Verac had a brief chat with Piaf in the morning. Piaf wanted to send someone into the interior, and then cooperate with the inside and outside. I don't know what role Rose will play in it.

   "I applied to be a member who broke into the interior." Ross said.

  Verak's face froze, and he said in a daze, "Why? You should also be wanted now, right? And it would be very dangerous to break into the inside."

"Most people in the Propaganda Department are wanted, and those who are not wanted are mainly newcomers. No one can rest assured that those new comrades will do such a difficult task. I just want to change my fake identity and go in. After all, I saw I have been through a lot of situations, so I should be able to handle any emergencies. No matter how bad it is, even if I am arrested, everyone can rest assured that I will not leak information, right?" When he said that the information would not be leaked in the end, Ross smiled, referring to It was the experience of being captured and tortured by the government intelligence agency.

   "You don't—" Verak was still the same, as soon as he saw his friend doing such a dangerous thing, he immediately raised his eyebrows and planned to dissuade him.

   But this time it's a little different.

  He jumped out two words and choked.

   "...Take care of yourself and complete the task well." In the end, Verak still supported Rose's own decision.

   "Okay!" Rose had a smile on his face, as if Veraker's words had given him great encouragement and confidence.

  Verak also smiled.

Just when he was about to stop Ross from doing this, he suddenly thought of Nord, Diaz, Murphy, Keating and others. When these people were doing dangerous tasks, he tried his best to stop them without exception. Take matters into your own hands.

   But in the end they all chose to do it by themselves instead of listening to Veraker.

  They all said that this was their own decision. Although Verac had good intentions, it essentially deprived them of their right to contribute to the Equal Society.

  Verak has always wanted to get rid of this problem, not to interfere in other people's decisions because of good intentions, today he finally took this step, stopped protecting his friends, and supported them to do what they wanted to do.

   "Okay, let's hurry up and eat." Verak didn't talk to Rose any more, leaving time for Rose and the people in the Propaganda Department to make good plans.

   "What's the matter?" Winston couldn't understand Bresci and asked after watching Verak chat for a while.

   "He's my friend, he works in the Propaganda Department, and he's going to do some very dangerous things." Verak picked up the tableware, "I... wanted to stop him, but I chose to tell him to be careful."

"why?"

   "Are you asking why you wanted to stop him, or why you chose to tell him to be careful?"

   "Both included."

"Well..." Verak thought for a while, "I want to stop him because it's dangerous, and I don't want to receive news of his sacrifice someday in the future. I didn't say these words in the end, but told him, yes Because everyone has their own decision, I am not qualified to influence."

"Indeed, the former is natural, the latter is rare. If he chooses to do a wrong thing, then as a friend, he will do his best to stop it. If he chooses to do a dangerous and right thing, it will often be very difficult. It is difficult to make a decision, but I believe he made careful consideration before deciding, and all we can do is support." Winston nodded.

   "Hmm." Verak didn't speak any more, just buried himself in his meal.

   It is difficult for him to describe his mood at this time.

  He felt that the decision not to interfere with his friend was right, but when he thought of the sacrifice of so many people, he couldn't help but worry about it, and wanted him to return to a safe environment.

  After thinking about it for a long time, Verak didn't figure it out until after dinner.

  If the world doesn't change, then there is no real security anyway. They now seem to be desperately running towards danger, but in fact they are living towards death.

  Ross got to do it, he got to do it, everybody got to do it.

  In this era, no one is spared.

  In the afternoon, the busiest Charles finally finished his work and rushed to the meeting room of the team responsible for assassinating Pissel without stopping.

   "I'm here." After he went in, he only saw Morais, Adel, and Diaz sitting around the table studying the guns placed on it. "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

   "You are finally here, we are researching sniper rifles." Morais made room for Charles.

  Charles approached the table and saw three guns placed on the table.

  One of them is an earthen gun secretly manufactured by the factory, which is currently used by most people in the Equality Society, one is a standard rifle, and the other is a sniper rifle.

"This is the Le Boule M1428 bolt-action rifle, developed by Colonel Le Boule Nyron. It is the most successful smokeless gunpowder firearm today. Its appearance represents that those firearms using black powder have become history, and the next is the smokeless gun. The era of pyrotechnic guns." Morais pointed to the standard rifle in the middle, and introduced to Charles, who didn't know much about guns, "The Lebel rifle has a built-in magazine for ammunition, and can hold up to eight rounds of all-metal casing rifle bullets. In addition It can also be equipped with a bayonet on the front end of the gun, and it can continue to play hand-to-hand combat when there is no ammunition. Four or five years ago, this thing was installed as a standard rifle by the Bresci army, and it performed well in many foreign wars .”

   "How about our homemade firearms?" Charles asked curiously.

"There is a huge gap with this stuff, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for us to fight head-on with the government's regular army. We have no channels to obtain such standard rifles in large quantities, so we can only use earthen guns to ensure the most basic combat effectiveness." Mo Lai Si shook his head. He dreamed that all the people in the war department could be equipped with such weapons.

   "We will try our best to do it later, and if Joseph really turns his back on us, we may be able to open the channel from the Corps." Charles is well aware of the importance of armed forces.

"Well." Morais continued to introduce the sniper rifle next to him, "This is the Le Boule sniper rifle, which is modified on the basis of the Le Boole M1428. It is equipped with an optical sight, a special barrel, and bullets for high-precision sniping. Rifle. Its price is three times that of ordinary standard rifles, and it is a luxury weapon, even the elite troops under Pissel's command are only equipped with a small part."

   "I understand it is equipped with a scope, but what is this bullet?"

"This sniper rifle gave up the typical oblong bullets used in other standard rifles, and specially made solid processed brass bullets with a sharp head and a slightly tapered tail. This not only increased its muzzle velocity by 20%, but also made its flight more stable , the ballistic trajectory is also flatter.” Morais replied.

   "Then what is its effective range?" Charles asked again.

  Moles estimated: "It can reach 800 meters, but there is generally no need for such a distance for combat in cities."

   "So you want to use a sniper rifle to assassinate Pissel next?" At this point, Charles had already guessed Morais's follow-up thoughts.

"That's right." Morais picked up the Le Boule sniper rifle, set it up skillfully and aimed at one side, "With a sniper rifle, we don't have to work hard to get closer to Pissel, and we are assassinating The choice of location will be much more generous.”

   "It sounds like a good idea, so what kind of help do you need from me?" Charles was about to start making arrangements.

Diaz stood up and said: "Tomorrow, we will take the route that Pissel takes to go to the government building every day, and record the places that are suitable for sniping. After that, we need your intelligence department to help find out the strength of the surrounding patrol guards, patrol routes and rules to work out the safest evacuation routes."

   "This will require a lot of manpower..." Charles got a headache, and now he is seeking support from the Intelligence Department everywhere, and he is about to send himself out.

   "Not only manpower, but also time." Diaz said.

   "When are you going to assassinate?"

   "From tomorrow, we will act on the morning of the 21st at the latest."

"On the 21st?! The time left for our intelligence department is at most two days, two days..." Charles was not sure, the intelligence department was overloaded, could he help the war department complete this arduous task? The task is really an unknown.

Seeing Charles' hesitation, Morais threw the heavy sniper rifle into Charles's arms: "Everyone on my side risked their lives to assassinate Pissel, you have the heart to see us Insufficient mastery, leading to omissions in the planning and arrangement, and being in danger?"

   "Of course not." Charles staggered, and carefully put the gun back on the table.

   "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll buy you a drink when the assassination is complete!" After Morais finished speaking with a straight face, he smiled brightly and asked for a drink.

"I don't have time to drink with you. Right now, everyone in the meeting is asking us to do things, so the manpower is really tight. This matter..." Charles didn't dare to deal with this kind of thing casually, in case he This side really failed to do a good job, and some people in the war department died, so who will bear the responsibility.

Morais doesn't care about this: "We are in the lead, and nothing else can be done if Pissel is not assassinated. You have to send people to consider our side first? Right? When we finish the task beautifully, encourage Your morale has been improved, and you have a share of the credit!"

   "You know who I am. If you regard me as someone who is rushing to grab credit, then there is nothing to say."

"That's not what I meant, I mean everyone is responsible for this matter! Even if you don't agree now, I'll talk to Boyne, won't he still have to come to you and ask you to help us with all your strength?" Morais said softly. Hard foam.

"I'm already doing my best to assist you. All departments came to ask for help in the morning. To be honest, we don't have enough people. It would be a headache to help you find people to check. The time is still so tight. I really can't guarantee that I can do it. Arrived." No matter what Morais said, Charles refused to respond directly, "How many people's lives are at stake, even if you point a gun at me, I won't agree to it."

"In that case, let's extend it for another day. We will operate on the 22nd and reserve three days for your intelligence department. Three days should be enough for you to plan the work of your personnel and find out the information we need, right?" Momo Seeing that Charles had said all this, Les could only take a step back.

  Charles frowned and considered for a long time: "I can only say that I am sure, I can arrange to do this."

   "It means that the time may have to be delayed?" Morais couldn't accept it.

  Now it can be said that the people in the plenary meeting are watching them eagerly, waiting for them to carry out various work after winning the first city. They have not moved for several days, and the pressure they are under can be imagined.

   Coupled with the fact that dozens of innocent civilians and comrades are executed every day, there will be many sacrifices if one more day is delayed. Joseph's side is not stable enough, and there may be changes after a long time.

  They must complete the task as soon as possible and successfully assassinate Pissel.

   "Yes." Charles said.

   "No, just three days." Morais refused to give in any more, "We will definitely act on the 22nd, and we must receive your message on the night of the 21st."

"Vice president…"

   "This matter is settled." Morais waved his hand, "We can sacrifice, but some people can't delay."

  Hearing this, Charles sighed: "Okay, I assure you, I will find out all the intelligence information you need within three days."

   "That's right!"

   "Then you plan first, and I will arrange it." The task was heavy, and Charles didn't want to waste a second, so he left the meeting room quickly.

"As the vice president, and the assassination mission is extremely important, which determines whether the follow-up plan can be launched, he is unwilling to mobilize manpower and withdraw some resources from other places." Adel felt that Morais and Charles The conversation was very interesting.

"The intelligence department not only needs to solve problems for so many departments, but also needs to maintain the operation of the intelligence network, so it is understandable that there is such a shortage of manpower." Diaz explained for the intelligence department, "it is precisely because of these reasons, Chairman Boyin decided to seize the time to establish a club school and train and transport talents in large quantities to meet our needs."

"That's right, Charles doesn't want us to make a move when we're not sure. After all, it's for our sake." Morais sat down and regained his composure, "We also need to hurry up and study the route. .”

Adel looked at the map that was about to be discussed by them: "We are still facing two problems. First, what if Pissel is not killed? Second, the gunfire is so loud that it will definitely If you are discovered by patrol troops, how will you evacuate?"

   "We are not absolutely sure about one gun, so we will arrange two, three, or four positions to lay a net." Morais said, "I don't believe that four guns can't kill Pissel."

   "Then correspondingly, the difficulty of evacuation will also increase as we arrange more locations for sniper killing." Adel said.

"This matter depends on the results of the investigation by Charles and the others." Morais caressed the body of the sniper rifle, "I have thought about trying to use other means to attract the attention of the patrolling troops, but I can't guarantee that This will not affect Pissel's travel, so we'd better not let them notice anything unusual that day, just as usual, assassinate Pissel in peace."

night

  Government buildings, conference halls

Francois had just finished a dinner with the Welland Mission, and Welland agreed to the deal for the coalition to attack Bash, ensuring that when Francois announced the restoration of the imperial system and became emperor, the international Acknowledge his identity and openly support the establishment of the Bresi Empire.

  This incident made François feel good, and once again he foresaw that he would wear noble clothes and wear a crown on his head, monopolizing the power to rule this vast land and many people.

  He believes that the time is ripe to start taking the next step to restore the monarchy.

"I think it is imminent to formulate an anti-parliamentary constitution. I should take over all administrative power and, as the head of state, be solely responsible to the people." Francois wants to further suppress the parliamentary power and ensure that the follow-up plan is foolproof, "this new The constitution should include that I can appoint and remove members of the Senate, a permanent institution of the empire, and allow the Legislative Yuan to be elected by universal suffrage, but the Legislative Yuan cannot be autonomous and can only deal with bills proposed by the Executive Yuan..."

The minister who was firmly on the side of Francois wiped the sweat from his forehead after listening to the content of the constitution proposed by Francois: "Your Excellency, you have been trying to win over the parliament and let them be your supporter. An important force for maintaining stability. Now that we want to suppress them further, they may counterattack even more frantically..."

   "It's strange not to counterattack." Francois had expected the consequences of doing so, "But I have arranged for the guards to take over the defense work of their residence, and they will not be able to turn the sky if they want to counterattack."

At that time, the reason why Francois agreed to the assassination of members of the parliament in the disguise of the Equality Society proposed by the captain of the guard Maguire was not only to use this method to push them to cooperate with the parliament again, but also to protect the parliament if the plan did not work. In the name of the members, it is justifiable to send troops to monitor and control them.

  The guns were on the heads of these people, and Francois didn't believe that they dared to fight against him.

   And having reached this point, of course he has to do a thorough job, try to disintegrate the power of the parliament as much as possible, and make his subsequent throne more stable.

   "But will this time be a little rushed?" Some people think that Francois is too impatient.

"No rush. According to the news from Wellland, Bash is strengthening his control over Nero, and they have considered sending troops earlier to interrupt Bash's impact. Once we send troops earlier, our focus will have to pass, so It's best to settle all the troubles before then.” Francois had his own concerns, “Pissel, what happened to the Equality Council?”

"Except for the big commotion during the curfew a few days ago, there has been no movement. It may be that the destruction of the Old South Testament sub-station has hit them too hard, and they have settled down a lot." Pissel report.

  Francois nodded slightly: "During this period, the Equality Association has indeed not caused us any trouble. This shows that our work is still useful. The regular army has ordered them not to dare to confront us again."

"However, recently, because of the Equality Association, many various organizations have been born. Some of them use the same banner as the Equality Association, and some seek other self-interest, trying to become a threat to us." Pissel added a new information.

"Heh." Francois sneered unscrupulously, "Those are just a group of rotten fish and rotten shrimps that can't get on the table. Even if they are added together, they are not as big a threat as half of the Equality Society. But it can't be like this Just let it go and crack down hard, tell them that not everyone can be an equal society, not everyone can be against the government."

   "It's already being cleared, and it's going very well."

   "That's good." Francois leaned back in his chair comfortably, "Cut back to the topic, do you have any better ideas for anti-parliamentary constitution?"

  April 18th

  Equality Association Terminus

  In the evening, all the workers in the factory went back to their dormitories to rest, but there was only one person who did not go back for a long time. In the center of the factory, he was busy drawing the drawings that were born in his whimsy while working during the day.

  His name is Walker, and he likes to tinker with machinery and make gadgets.

  I once researched and created several tools that can facilitate life, and was jokingly called a down-and-out inventor by other workers.

  This day, he was still as usual, researching new inventions in the dead of night, so absorbed that he didn't even know that a person was approaching behind him.

   "Are you Valk?"

"Ah!" Walker was startled by the voice behind him, and almost threw away the tools in his hand, but when he fixed his eyes and saw that he was a cadre of the Equality Society, he quickly recovered his composure, "You scared me to death Yes. I'm Valck, what can I do for you?"

   "I'm Howard Nord." Nord introduced his identity.

  Walker put down what he was doing: "I know you, you work in the workers' night school, don't you? I have attended classes there!"

   "It used to be, but it's not anymore. We started to build the club school according to the instructions of the president Boyne, and I work in the club school."

   "Meeting school? What is this?" Walker didn't understand.

   "It is the school in the association that serves our Equality Association, and cultivates all kinds of talents for the Equality Association to meet the needs of all aspects." Nord explained.

  Valker half understood: "Then why did you come to me? Is there anything I can do for you?"

   "I heard from other workers that you are very good at mechanical work, and you have also researched and invented many interesting gadgets by yourself?"

   "There is such a thing."

"That's right, we want to invite you to work in the school now, to be a teacher of our mechanical major, to cultivate a group of excellent mechanical talents like you, and to help you strengthen your studies and improve your level." Boyin Send an invitation to Valk.

   "Me? To be a teacher?" Walker suspected that he had heard wrong.

"Yes."

   "Don't be joking, how is it possible... I don't even know a lot of words, and I still go to the worker's night school regularly. How can I be a teacher." Walker waved his hand with a smile.

Nord looked very serious, making Valk believe that he didn't come to make fun of him: "We came to you, not because we want you to teach others how to read, but to give full play to your strengths and teach excellent mechanical skills to others. More people, to meet the needs of the mechanical talents of the Equality Council."

   "I admit that my skills are good, but teaching people is still... I have never taught people..."

   "This is not a problem. We will first teach you how to teach others what you are good at, so that others can understand. Afterwards, we will assist you in teaching together to ensure that you can fully teach your technology to others. Nord said.

   "Will this work..."

   "Yes. So, are you willing to work in the club school?"

   "Of course I am willing! My contribution alone is definitely not as great as that of a hundred people. I still understand this truth, and I am willing to teach others!" Walker felt honored for his contribution.

  Nod nodded: "That's good, we will help you with the transfer procedures tomorrow morning, you just go to the auditorium at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

   "Go to the synagogue? Shouldn't you teach people? What do you do in the synagogue?"

"Teaching people still needs a period of preparation. Tomorrow, Comrade Keating will go to the auditorium to give a speech and assign work. At that time, many people with outstanding talents in a certain area like you will come." Stay longer and rush to the next place, "You rest early, we will see you tomorrow."

  Apartment building, Verac's room

  It was almost twelve o'clock, and Winston went back to his room to rest half an hour ago. Verac was still studying "The Theory of Classes" with the light on, taking notes from time to time to ensure that he understood thoroughly.

   "Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

   "Here we come." Verak put down the pen in his hand, got up and went to open the door.

   "When I came back, I just saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came to take a look." After opening the door, Keating walked in, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

"I'm reading Class Theory. This book is a bit too complicated for me, but since Boyin has entrusted me with the preparation of the cooperative factory, I have to hurry up and study it while ensuring quality and quantity." Verak rubbed his sore eyes, "Why are you still up so late?"

Keating came to the desk and looked at the notes that Veraker had carefully made: "Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, so we didn't waste time. We contacted those outstanding talents on the statistical list overnight, hoping to train them into The first batch of teachers in the club school will pass on their excellence to more people."

   "It seems that you will be busy soon." Verak poured Keating a glass of water, and the two sat down at the desk.

   "Tomorrow we will arrange for them to gather in the synagogue, and then mobilize them to build the framework of the synagogue first." Keating took a sip of water.

   "That's great. Once your side is up and running, we won't be short of people. I heard in the afternoon that Charles was overwhelmed with work, and he needed someone from the Intelligence Department to help everywhere." Verak smiled wryly.

   "The pressure on the Intelligence Department is indeed great."

Verac didn't meet Keating at noon, so he simply shared with him about Ross: "I met Ross at lunch, and he volunteered to be a person in the Propaganda Department who infiltrated the Corps. I originally wanted to dissuade him Yes, but thinking about your previous teachings, I still decided to support his idea."

"That's good. They all have their own choices. In fact, when they tell you about this, what they expect is not you to stop them, but your encouragement. Maybe you haven't realized it yet, you are unconsciously Juezhong has become the backbone of many people, and your support means a lot to them." Keating is very pleased that Veraker has grown up a bit.

"I understand the teacher. After speaking in support of him at noon, I obviously saw that Rose was happier. I also saw such a change in him, and I was finally convinced that I was right to say the words of support." Verac felt deeply, " I don't know what other people are doing right now."

   "I know something about Diaz. They are still meeting to study the assassination plan."

   "Still studying at this late hour?"

Keating said: "Well, they have encountered a little trouble. The plan to assassinate Pissel is not that simple. As a general, he has many guards around him. In addition, the patrol guards are widely distributed recently, so they decided to use sniper rifles to kill him from a distance. , give up the risk of approaching. But they don't have any good ideas yet, and they can safely evacuate after making such a big commotion."

Verac went to the city to check, and he knew exactly how difficult it was to evacuate after Pissel was shot inside: "This is a big problem, their gunshots will definitely attract the patrolling troops around, and the cavalry is the last Surround them a few minutes later..."

   "So there is a stalemate over there. Although everyone is willing to sacrifice, no one wants to do so before reaching that point."

There were Morais and Diaz in the assassination operation, and there were comrades who fought side by side. Verac didn't want to see anyone sacrificed, and began to help make suggestions: "Since we want to cooperate with Joseph, he can't help cover our people secretly. Evacuate?"

"Morais refused to seek Joseph's help. He wanted to show that equality in front of Joseph would be strong, not weak. This had a huge impact on Joseph's defection, so everyone agreed that we should solve the problem internally." Keating put down the water glass with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much about them. Morais, Diaz, and Adel are all very intelligent, and they will come up with the best solution."

   "That's right. If the three of them can't figure out a solution, it means that this matter is really unsolvable." Verak dismissed his own thoughts of taking action.

  With Morais, Diaz, and Adel around, it doesn't make much sense whether he helps or not.

   "Okay, let's go to bed early, all we can do is do our own work and give credit to others' work." It was late, and Keating decided to go back and rest.

   "What you said makes sense. Now the meeting is like clockwork. The most important thing is for everyone to do their own things well."
