Twenty Seven Years Chapter 299

  Chapter 299 Exposed

  April 26, late at night

  Laizein, Camp of the 1st Cavalry Regiment

  Captain Dana, the company commander of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion, noticed something strange in the camp recently.

   On the surface, there is no difference between this place and the past, and the operation is maintained normally. The only disturbance is that Pissel was assassinated and killed, and Joseph was promoted to major general and served as the commander of the independent mixed division.

   But under this, there seems to be a strange undercurrent surging.

  He found that his subordinates were a little sneaky, their whereabouts were a little weird these days, and the atmosphere in the entire camp also changed inexplicably.

  He had a bad premonition, so he secretly called his cronies late at night, and discussed the latest weirdness with Lieutenant Bunier, who had the same aristocratic background.

   "Do you feel the same way?" Lieutenant Bunier asked after listening to Captain Dana's complicated talk about his feelings.

  Daina's eyes lit up: "You too?"

"Yes, in the last week or so, the people under my command gave me the feeling that they were hiding something from me." Bunier was planning to report the situation to Captain Dana, "but their whereabouts have not yet been found. What is abnormal, I don't know if this is my own illusion."

"In the past few days, I have also wondered whether it was because General Pissel was assassinated and Joseph became a major general that this feeling appeared. So many low-born people saw Joseph become a general, and imagined that one day they would I can't sleep at night because I'm so excited…” Captain Dana's eyes flashed with contempt for the poor soldiers and officers in the corps.

Bunier's father was a well-known judge in Lezein, and his grandfather was a distinguished earl. His family was highly respected in the upper class. He became a lieutenant shortly after entering the Corps at a young age. Those who are inferior to him have an innate sense of repulsion.

  In his family, servants with civilian backgrounds would not even get him to look straight at him, but in the army, such civilians could become officers above him and instruct him to do things. This made him very upset, and he often had the idea of ​​transferring from this cavalry regiment, which was like a strange one in the army, to work with the dignitaries in other regiments.

"There must be this reason." Bunier sneered, not paying attention to Major General Joseph, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that pushing Joseph to the position is just to make him a dead ghost. When equality will be eliminated, this position will immediately Colonel Benson, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey and the others will fight for it. These idiots thought they had hope to climb higher, but they didn't know that Joseph was probably crying right now, wishing to surround himself tightly with three regiments , so as not to accidentally be wiped by the equality society."

   "Hehe..." Captain Dana followed with a smile.

   Only when he stays with a 'similar' like Lieutenant Bunier, can he feel the rare joy.

"However, it's too far-fetched to use this explanation alone. They give me more than that." After taunting, Bunier still faced the problem squarely. More benefits, they will not rush to kill the enemy when we give the order. I think they also concealed this matter when I questioned them."

   "Concealment... you mean they are doing something shady behind our backs?" Captain Dana grasped the key words.

"Yes." Bunier boldly said his guess, "I found that they often discussed some unknown things in private. Of course they did before, but after I saw them, they just calmed down a bit, not Fear flashed across my face like now, as if I had seen through something..."

"When you put it this way, I do have the same feeling. When I met them recently, their eyes seemed to be wrong. I can't say exactly what is wrong, but it just makes me feel slightly offended." Captain Dana excitedly Echoing what Bunier said.

  They feel the same, so the possibility of overthinking becomes very slim.

   "They must be plotting something." Bunier concluded.

   "Do you have any specific ideas?" Dana valued Bunier's opinion.

Bunier groaned and shook his head: "It may be the problem of military salary deduction, or it may be that some of us have discovered that some of us are secretly reselling military funds... There are too many things for them to spread and discuss in private. There's no value in guessing."

   "These untouchables are really troublesome, they might as well be dead." Captain Dana cursed.

He was tired of this group of untouchables, living with this group of low-class people, and he was tired of driving them to do things every day, and being ridden on the head by this group of stupid, cunning, and mean It was intolerable to him.

   It would be nice if they were all dead.

   This is not just a sentence in anger, but what he really thinks.

  In their view, the world has been cut into two halves, so people cannot generalize.

  People in the upper class are elegant, kind, and knowledgeable, while people at the bottom are like mice, stinky, ignorant, and selfish.

  Why can't there be only upper-class people in this world?

   Wouldn't it be better if only they existed?

   No more rogue parties where equality would be such a disturbance, no more problems created by inferiors.

   "Should we investigate and investigate? If there is really a big problem, this may be our chance to make meritorious service." Lieutenant Bunier suggested.

  Hearing the word meritorious service, Dana's irritability was swept away, and he became interested in this matter: "Investigate? How to investigate?"

   "There will definitely be no results if you ask openly. The best way for us is to inquire secretly at night."

   "At night? It's very suitable for them to plot something."

   "Then let's go and have a look."

"Walk."

  The two walked out of Dana's office, trying not to attract the attention of others, and patrolled the camp.

  There is nothing wrong with the barracks, school grounds, and horse farms in the camp. They looked around and found nothing. Just when Dana felt that this was not an option, and they had to find a more suitable way to find out the secrets of the soldiers, Bunier found something unusual in the armory.

   "As far as I know, night patrols don't go to the armory so frequently to check the situation, and during the half an hour we walked around, no less than three teams have already entered." Lieutenant Bunier said.

"And it seems that none of them have come out..." Captain Dana followed Bunier's analysis and looked at the armory. After some recollection, he confirmed that he had not seen any patrols coming out of it. Come out, there must be something tricky in the armory."

   "We have to go and have a look." A strong intuition told Bunier that the truth they were after was in the armory.

  Daina stopped Bunier: "We will alarm them if we go so directly, we have to find a way to sneak in and find out what they are doing."

"There is a ladder outside the armory, which can be climbed to the second floor. Let's go over and see if there is a way to sneak in from the second floor." Bunier planned to sneak in secretly. After Dana stopped him, he walked with him Explained the route of infiltration.

   "Okay." Dana followed behind Bunier, "The time has come for us to make meritorious deeds."

  Meanwhile, in the armory.

  Dozens of soldiers are sitting together, listening attentively to Ross and other maintenance workers sitting in the center talking about equality.

  Ross and several comrades are still in contact with the soldiers as maintenance workers, so in order to tell more about the Equality Society, they each pretend to have different emphases of understanding, and cooperate with each other to comprehensively answer everyone's doubts.

"What exactly is labor? It includes three meanings, reflecting the past, future, and present. Among them, science, fertilizers, and tools reflect the past, laborers reflect the future, and land and materials reflect the present..." Biros said "On Equality" has more in-depth research comrades to explain the content of the book.

   There was a small light in the corner of the armory, which could illuminate the figures of Ross and the others, as well as the faces of the soldiers sitting around.

Ross noticed the confusion on the faces of the soldiers, and realized that what his companions said was still too complicated for these heavy-handed soldiers: "I actually think the meaning is very simple. To put it bluntly, accumulation, people, and the environment are probably these things. ..."

   "I have a question to ask." A soldier raised his hand.

   "We are just civilians, so we don't necessarily understand. You can talk about it first." Ross asked the soldiers to speak.

"You just talked about a lot of things in the theory of equality, saying that in order to make the judiciary equal to the rich and the poor, first of all, there should be no distinction between the children of the poor and the children of the rich, that is, everyone should receive public education. We move forward together from the same starting point. What I don't understand is that if an educated child and an uneducated adult commit the same crime, the punishment should be the same? Or in the absence of education Now, the so-called adults are actually no different from children? And children who know everything can't simply consider age?" asked the soldier.

  This question made Ross and others look at each other.

   "This is a very good question." Ross commented after thinking, "As for what to do, I don't know much about it. I can try to think about it from the perspective of the Equality Association..."

  Captain Dana and Lieutenant Bunier, who sneaked in from the second floor of the armory, quietly touched it after seeing the light.

   "Sure enough, there is a problem..." Captain Dana secretly thought.

  Dozens of soldiers quietly sat together, they must be plotting something big.

   "I can't hear what they are saying, so get closer." Bunier mainly wanted to hear what the soldiers were talking about, otherwise he still couldn't do anything just seeing them gather.

  The two of them took advantage of the rapt attention of the people below, and moved a little closer to the gathering direction.

   Now they finally heard the intermittent content.

  Equality Council!

   Dana and Bunier looked at each other, and they both saw indescribable shock in each other's eyes.

  They had guessed many possibilities before they came, but the only thing they didn't consider was the Equality Society, because the control in the Corps was very strict, and logically speaking, things about the Equality Society should not be spread. And as the main person in charge of Laizein's defense work, they dare not even think that it has been infiltrated by the idea of ​​equality.

  It turns out that during this period of time, the soldiers were discussing things about the Equality Association in private...

  Daina let out a breath, unable to calm down the shock he received.

   When did the Equality Association join the Corps? To what extent has the penetration of the Corps reached now? They can't think of it, let alone dare to think about it.

  The seriousness of this matter outweighed their desire for meritorious service.

   It's a pity that they are still a little far away, and they can't hear the specific content clearly. They only know that everyone is talking secretly around the Equality Association and "Equality".

   Dana wanted to get closer, but Bunier stopped him.

   "We can't get any closer. If we get any closer, we will be discovered. Let's go out and find a way." After finishing speaking, Bunier took Dana back the same way and left the armory.

   "It turned out to be the Equality Society!" Dana murmured incredulously after going out, "We should arrest them all! If we let this unhealthy trend spread in the Corps, the consequences will be disastrous!"

   "No." Bunier vetoed this plan. "We don't know how many of them there are, and we don't know how the Equality Society will enter. We need to have more information to catch them all."

   "The question is how to do it?" Dana didn't have a clue, and habitually asked his subordinate Bu Nier for his opinion.

Bunier looked at the armory, imagining how many soldiers had been there, gathered every night to talk about equality, and said with a cold face: "It is absolutely impossible for the two of us alone, we have to find help."

   "Let's report to the higher-ups in secret." The matter is too big, and Dana dare not take it on himself.

   "The question is who to turn to?" Bunier asked.

   "What do you mean?" Dana narrowed his eyes.

   "Should I go directly to the head of the regiment, or the teacher, or someone else?" Bunier said meaningfully.

  Dana understood what Bunier meant: "The regiment commander and division commander are both civilians. Are you worried that they are also involved?"

   "The possibility is not ruled out." Bunier said.

"Impossible." Dana did not believe that Major General Joseph was involved in this matter. "Although Joseph is a commoner, with the same background and background as theirs, he is now highly valued by the President, and his future is limitless. He was assassinated by the Equality Association, how could there be any connection?"

"What you said is also reasonable. I just feel a little strange. I feel that many things have collided and are vaguely related." Bunier always felt that the recent major events could be connected together, but for a while he still There is no specific idea.

"Tell me?"

   "I... I don't know too well, it's just..."

   Dana shook his head, his chest heaving violently: "If Major General Joseph is also related to this matter, how could we possibly find out? Let's go to see Major General Joseph together."

   "Or, should we consider other people? For example, Colonel Benson, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey?" Bunier suggested cautiously.

   "Then this matter will reach the ears of our regiment commander, how can we stay in the cavalry regiment?" Dana asked.

  They let their superiors not report such important information, and went to tell others, clearly showing their distrust of their superiors.

   "Okay..." Bunier felt that what Dana said was also reasonable

   "Let's go." Dana went to see Joseph with Bunier without much hesitation.
