Twenty Seven Years Chapter 295

  Chapter 295 I'm just sad

noon

  Government building, meeting room

  Francois called all his cronies for an emergency meeting.

   "Isn't it rescued?" Francois asked.

   "Pisel was shot in the head and abdomen in the car and died on the spot. It is impossible to save him if he goes to the hospital." Maguire, the head of the guard, said.

   "Is it confirmed that the Equality Council will do it?" Francois sighed irritably.

Maguire nodded: "Confirmed, some hotel guests said that they saw Morais on the wanted notice, but refused to accept the persuasion and were shot dead by us on the spot. After identity verification, it was confirmed that he was the wanted criminal Diaz from the Equality Society." .This was a premeditated assassination of General Pierce."

After listening to Maguire's nonsense summary, Francois rolled his eyes without hesitation: "This is obviously a planned assassination, and you don't need to summarize it. What we really want to find out is that equality will assassinate." What is Pissel's purpose? His death does not mean that the danger of the Equality Society is lifted, and I can completely support a new general, so they may have a deeper plan."

   "Perhaps the situation is not as good as you think. What if we support another general and they are assassinated?" A minister said.

"Could it be that we don't appoint generals because we are afraid that Equality will assassinate us?" Francois thought this was ridiculous. Several regiments were stationed in Lezein, and if they were frightened by the Equality Club, they would really do nothing. up.

"If you intend to appoint another one, I'm afraid no one will dare to accept it." The Minister of Finance, as one of Francois' most trusted people, said bluntly, "As far as I know, those with powerful backgrounds in the Corps are now panicking. , I am afraid that after you appoint them as generals, they will be targeted and assassinated by the Equality Council."

"Heh, when Pierre was still around, which one of them didn't covet this position, and which one didn't want to kick Pierce off? Now that there is a risk, all of them are shrinking. They are really a bunch of useless wastes who can't do big things..." Fran In fact, Sowa knows this kind of behavior all too well. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it is just that his interests are shaken, which makes him feel extremely disgusted.

   "Our first priority now is to re-find candidates for the general, stabilize the corps, and then study countermeasures against the assassination of the Equal Council." The minister said.

  Francois lit a cigarette: "Do you have any better candidates?"

  Piessel's death had little effect on François.

What he really liked was the strength of these three corps. After the three corps were stationed in Laizein, Laizein stabilized a lot, and Pissel stayed for more than half a month and did not suppress the Equality Society. If there is any breakthrough in the game, it shows that his value is not great.

  If it weren't for the grand plan to restore the monarchy, Pissel with a heavy army and standing on his side in order to climb higher would help him stabilize the overall situation, and he would not have been willing to let Pissel take over Laizein's defense.

   In addition, he just still had a headache about how to check and balance Pissel, and now that Pissel died, the problem would be solved easily.

  He can support a new general with no background to further strengthen his control over military power.

   "Since those dignitaries don't want to be in the position, let's appoint someone who is capable and has a less complicated background." Francois took a puff on his cigarette and extinguished it.

   "There is really a suitable one." The minister said immediately.

"Who?"

   "Colonel Maren Joseph, Commander of the 1st Cavalry."

  Francois still had some impressions of this man. Joseph really had no background, and he became the head of the First Cavalry Regiment from a commoner. Although everyone knows that Joseph is a close friend of Pissel's cronies, but Pissel is dead, and Joseph has no one to rely on in the army, so he can definitely win him over to his own: "I know this man, his prestige in the army is only inferior to Pissel's." Searle, it is very suitable for him to be the new general to command the three regiments of Lazeinli."

  With no background and strong ability, Joseph just met the two conditions that Francois valued most.

  In addition to the fact that other dignitaries now regard the position of general as a hot potato, it is logical to support Joseph, and there will be almost no resistance.

   "Then us?"

   "Call Joseph to see me tomorrow morning, and then arrange a meeting for the appointment of a new general tomorrow afternoon, requiring all officers above the school level to attend the meeting." François said.

"clear."

   "Let's talk about the Equality Council again." Pissel's affairs were quickly arranged, and his death did not cause any waves other than worrying everyone present. Francois mentioned the most troublesome thing for them, which has become Brecy's nightmare, “Lizein is relatively stable now, but the threat is still there. They attacked and engaged in street fighting at night some time ago, and now they are assassinating After leaving Pissel, I don't know how many things to do in the future. We really don't have much time left. This is no longer our expedition to Bash. When the interior is empty, there may be a risk of being taken advantage of. Let them grow stronger, and sooner or later they will dare to confront us head-on."

  Confrontation head-on, this is something that all the ministers dare not even think about.

  They are sitting on nearly a hundred regiments, and their soldiers are strong and strong. If there is a day when equality will dare to confront them head-on, how far will it have to develop?

   "Especially, they are most active in Laizein, and it is impossible to deploy heavy troops in Laizein all the time. They have time, but we can't always be restrained like this." The foreign minister echoed.

  Bressi has caused big and small incidents because of equality in the past year, and has lost face internationally. However, it is trivial to lose face internationally. The biggest problem is that there is a huge hidden danger under the eyes of François in Laizein, and anyone will feel uncomfortable.

  "We must seize the time to exterminate them. The monarchy and expedition will be restored soon, and there will be endless hidden dangers if it continues."

"The question is how to eradicate them? How many methods have we used? They cannot be eradicated completely, but their roots cannot be traced. After all, they can hide wherever they want. They can be in the West District today and the East District tomorrow. We are here The disadvantages are too great. It is impossible to turn Laizein upside down, and they can leave Laizein first to avoid the limelight and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."

   "If tough measures are still ineffective, can we change our attitude? For example, accept them. Didn't we have a peace talk with them before? If there are some conditions to make concessions, the situation will not be so severe."

"Accept them? Are you kidding me? Our fundamental interests are completely different from theirs. Bringing them in will only cause more problems! It will be very difficult to drive them out of Lezein and Brecy, and there will be difficulties when they are here." Once there, we really have no way out."

"That's right, and the last peace talks ended in failure. How could they agree to it again? Even if they agreed, do you think they are fools? They also know that it is impossible to resolve the problem peacefully with us, and they will only continue to expand when they come in. Knock us down. We don't have a choice, it's not a multiple choice question."

   "Then what should we do? If it weren't for the delay in harming the foundation of the Equality Society, and being harassed by them one after another, no one would want to compromise with them. If you think this won't work, then come up with a better way."

  Francois's ears were surrounded by the arguments of the ministers.

  He let out a small sigh that only he could hear.

  Everyone has nothing to do with the Equality Association. Is it possible to really compromise? Realized the peace talks that were once just to appease the Equal Society?

   Of course not! Compromise means shaking the interests of the powerful, and what the powerful need is a ruling force that can safeguard their interests. If you can't do this, let alone restore the monarchy, you don't even want to be the current president.

   But the tough clean-up has been carried out for half a year, with little effect, and it is also not the best solution now.

  In addition to compromise and suppression, is there a third way to go?

  Looking at a group of scumbags arguing over and over again with their mouths, Francois felt that even if there was no such thing, it must be developed.

  Equality Association Terminus

  The news of Pissel's successful assassination spread to every corner, but the Equality Association did not celebrate it, and just continued to work on the previous mission in silence.

  Diaz's sacrifice was as unexpected as the destruction of the old South Treaty station.

   Didn't see it with my own eyes, but heard such news suddenly, which made many people feel unbelievable.

   No one can accept that such a fine comrade left last night and never came back.

  Murphy, Verac, Keating, Nord, Morais, Boyne, Adel and others all came to Diaz's room without lunch.

Diaz's room was very simple and tidy. There was only a well-made bed, a hanger with only two changes of clothes hanging on it, and a room where materials from the War Department and books such as "Theory of Equality" and "Theory of Class" and other books were placed. Desk for notes.

  Murphy stood in front of the desk, sorted out the materials of the War Department and handed them to Morais.

   Morais took it with shame.

   "My brother's work handover will trouble you." Murphy said.

   "No trouble." Morais shook his head.

  Murphy turned around and picked up "Theory of Equality" again. This edition of "Theory of Equality" was hand-copied by Verac to impress them when they first officially joined the Equality Society.

   They each have a copy.

   "I'll keep this for myself." Murphy put away Diaz's handwritten copy of "Equality".

  No one had any objection to this, they all looked at Murphy silently.

"He probably hasn't had time to read this class theory." Murphy picked up the first batch of Bresci version of "Class Theory" distributed to Diaz, and took out a piece of cardboard from the title page, "This is His homemade bookmark with his hand-drawn map of Montrego."

  Verak looked at the bookmark in Murphy's hand.

   This bookmark seems to be used by Diaz a long time ago, and it is the earliest thing that accompanied Diaz.

   "This should be his note, and I kept it for him." Murphy sorted out Diaz's things one by one, "There is nothing else, leave this room for those who need it."

   "I'll arrange it." Morais tried to do something.

   "Everyone go get busy. If he's here, I don't want to delay the mission because of my own affairs." Murphy said to everyone holding Diaz's relic, and left the room through the aisle vacated by everyone.

"Tell Murphy not to work today, and take a good rest." Boyin and Keating finished exhorting, then turned and said to Morais, "Don't feel too guilty, since Comrade Diaz is willing to do this, you must I hope you can play a greater value."

"Um."

"Um."

   Keating and Morais should be next.

   "Let's go." Boyin sighed and left the room.

   "Teacher, let's go first, I'll talk to Murphy." Verak felt that at this time, maybe he was the most suitable person to help Murphy get out.

   "It's up to you." Keating and the others left one after another.

  Villac caught up with Murphy who was walking towards his room with Diaz's belongings in his arms: "Murphy."

   "Villac." Murphy was not surprised that Verac came over.

   "Let me get it." Verac took Diaz's relic from Murphy.

  Murphy didn't say much, he took out the key and opened the door of his room.

   After the two went in, they put the relics on the table and sat on the left and right.

   "I think I may understand your feelings. The more you feel like this, the less you need comfort. You just want to be alone and heal your wounds." Verak said softly.

   Murphy didn't speak.

"I don't know why I know that you need someone to come here quietly at this time. I just haven't healed the wound myself..." Verac felt that the current Murphy was no different from his previous walking dead appearance , "Maybe this wound will never heal, it can only make it a dull pain in the body. What can we do, we can only work hard to change the world."

"I know." Murphy was very clear in his heart, "My brother told me before that if he sacrificed one day, let me not feel sorry for him, as long as the new world really comes in the end, all of this will be worth it Yes. I know, it's just that I'm still upset."

   "I'm sad too."

   "Verak, do you know what my brother's dream is?"

"I have no idea."

"If you don't even know, he should have only told me." Murphy took out the bookmark with the map of Montrego: "He hopes to return to Montrego one day and lead the people in his hometown Montrego got better."

"He is very thorough in his work, he is not well prepared, and he has feasible conditions, so he will not speak up easily." Verac understands Diaz's personality, he always prepares in his heart for everything, and does not start at the beginning Just spread the word.

  “I really want to go back with him and turn the chaotic and backward hometown into an ideal new country. But after he died, I began to feel that it was very far away, and I couldn't do it alone.”

   "Isn't there still me? There is also the Equality Society. This has never been a matter of one person, and we will change there."

   Murphy looked out the window: "I know, I'm just sad."
