Twenty Seven Years Chapter 342

  Chapter 342 Francois' checks and balances

"You want us to provide support in many ways, right? For example, weapons, personnel, money, experience, etc." Morais always speaks straightforwardly, unlike others who have been guessing for a long time before beating around the bush, "We will The cadres agreed that as long as they are the people and the proletariat who are oppressed by the powerful and bourgeoisie, we will provide unconditional help, unite everyone, and jointly build a new world of equality and freedom.”

   "That's good." Vikenji and August felt relieved.

  The Equality Society has reached the point of controlling the Corps. With their support behind them, the situation in Winterhold will inevitably reverse.

   "But before the support, I want to ask the most important question. Is it you that Bash needs to help, or the oppressed people?" Morais asked a question immediately.

   "What... what? Aren't we the same as the oppressed people?" August was stunned.

Vikenji roughly understood what Morais wanted to express: "There is still a difference. We are now more of a revolutionary than a worker. What Mr. Morais really wants to ask is that it is the revolutionaries who need help." Still the people, right?"

   "Yes." Morais nodded slightly.

   "There is no doubt that it is the people who really need to be helped. We are just people who spontaneously emerged from the people and wanted to save themselves. To put it bluntly, we are also rushing to help the people." Vikenji said.

   "In fact, I have a better proposal." Morais revealed his thoughts, "Instead of providing support to you, it is better for you to join the Equality Association."

   This proposal made Vikenji and August stunned on the spot.

  They came to seek the support of the Equality Association, but why did the Equality Association throw an olive branch to them?

"This…"

"The Equality Association itself is going to liberate the whole world, so we will not be limited to Bresci—this is why Bash has our branch. In fact, not only Bash, we have already established close to triple digits of substations around the world , more than 50,000 official members and more than 200,000 reserve members. It can be said that we are the most influential and most promising revolutionary force to change the world today." Morais did not elaborate on the current strength of the Equality Association, "And the Bash sub-station is integrated with you, and the revolutionary comrades are twisted together to spread ideas and fight resolutely, and we can change little by little the way of life that people have been forced to insist on for a long time in that vast land..."

"There is no doubt about it. It is our honor to be a member of the Equality Association. The Equality Association can fight side by side with us. It must be much better to help the people fight for their rights in Bash than to fight alone." After being shocked, Wei Kenji thought about it briefly and realized that no matter for which side, joining the Equality Society to fight together is more cost-effective and efficient than the Equality Society only providing them with support, "But the two of us are not qualified to decide this matter. "

  Vickenji was willing to join the Equal Society, which was within Morais' expectations.

  In fact, if the Equality Association hadn't been rumored to be wiped out at Bash's side, if this group of people knew that Bash had a branch of the Equality Association, it is estimated that they would not set up a workers' mutual aid association on their own, but would directly join the Equality Association.

   After all, a powerful organization that is willing to help them and pursues equality and freedom is close at hand. There is no need to go around and have to start from scratch.

   "Do you still need your leader to decide?" Morais asked.

   "Yes, Vladislav is our backbone. As long as he agrees, everyone will definitely be willing to join the Equality Association." Vikenji said.

   "The comrades from our Bash sub-station are going to Winterhold to contact him. I came to you to see what your opinions are, and I am afraid that you will have any resistance to equality." Morais revealed some of Bash's movements.

  Vickenji and August laughed together: "How could we resist the Equality Association? It's too late to welcome!"

"That's good." Morais smiled back, "The main reason for coming here today is for this matter. Of course, this is not forced. We respect your opinions. If you don't want to, we will still provide support. Try to pass other forms of cooperation to fight together in Bash."

   "I believe that Vladislav is as willing as us to join the Equality Association and fight side by side with more revolutionaries." August wished for it.

"Comrade is our respectful title for revolutionaries along the way. From now on, you can call me Comrade Morais, and I will also call you Comrade Vikenji and Comrade August." Morais is not used to being called Mr. Try to make the two of you learn to be gay.

   "Okay, Comrade Morais."

   "Comrade Morais, Comrade Clark."

After understanding the attitudes of the two, and having some points about the situation when they contacted Vladislav, Morais's task was completed: "Then you continue to rest, I will deal with work, and you can contact Clark anytime if you need anything." Comrade, he lives next door to you."

   "Okay okay."

   "Goodbye, Comrade Morais."

"goodbye."

   Morais and Clark left the room.

   "Huh... I feel like I'm dreaming... What happened since yesterday is completely beyond my imagination..." August is still struggling to accept the invitation from the Equality Council.

   "Thinking about it, it's normal. If it were me, I would try to directly pull people in to work together." Vikenji accepted it quickly because he sorted out the logic.

August came to the window and looked out at the main station of the Equality Association: "When I heard them say how powerful the Equality Association is now, I was thinking when we could develop like them. Don't think about it now, join Once you get in, it all happens.”

   "In short, we are not in a hurry to leave. We will stay here for a while, get in touch with new things, and take this opportunity to study hard." Vikenji picked up the book again.

"That's right, it will probably take a long time to talk about joining the Equality Association, and there is an Equality Association sub-station over there, the problem should be resolved, the two of us are not in a hurry, we can stay here to feel more." Gust sat back in his chair, reopened the "Women's Manifesto" that he hadn't read in time, and read the words on the title page, "Women have the right to climb scaffolding, and they also have the right to be on the tribune."

   Vikenji, who was concentrating on reading, just wanted to remind August to read silently, but was attracted by this passage: "When I hear this sentence again, I still feel a sense of enlightenment."

   "How to say?" August asked while turning to the next page.

"I just feel that women's rights are being ignored. By ignoring them, I wonder if those superior people are also ignoring our rights with peace of mind... I find that we need to recognize others as well as ourselves. "Vickenji said with emotion.

   "Keep watching, keep watching." August was really interested, and carefully read the contents.

Thinking that the two of them were still saving money to find the Equality Association yesterday, and they had worn out their feet after running all over Laize, and now they have stayed in the Equality Association's main station, accepted the invitation, and read books on pioneering ideas, Vikenji felt a little bit of a rush. In a trance, I felt like I was dreaming as August said: "...keep watching."

  Laizein, Government Building, Office of the President

  Major General Joseph, the new commander of the independent mixed division stationed in Laizein, received an order from François after the morning meeting to come to talk in secret.

   "Your Excellency President." The upright Joseph saluted Francois who was sitting on the luxurious sofa in the living room.

   "Come and sit down." Francois was still approachable, beckoning Joseph to sit beside him.

   Joseph came to the side sofa and sat down, quietly waiting for Francois to speak.

   "Recently, Laizeinli doesn't seem to have heard any movement from the Equality Association? What's going on?" Francois asked about the garrison situation of the independent mixed division.

   "Recently, the troops have been patrolling according to my newly formulated patrol policy, and the security in the city has improved significantly."

   "Oh? What new patrol policy have you formulated that can be so effective?" Francois wondered what changes Joseph made from the previous Pissel, which could make Laizein so much quieter in an instant.

"General Pissel used the team to patrol in a fixed area at that time, which reduced manpower consumption and facilitated management, but it also caused some omissions. For example, there were always gaps between the patrol teams so that Equality would take advantage of it. I made The most important change is to let the original patrolling teams give up patrolling, each guarding a street intersection, and unless they hear the secret order post, or even if there is a gunshot next to them, they will not move. In this way, each block is sealed off. Once there is equality If they want to escape, they must break through the guarded soldiers at the intersections. Breaking through takes time, and at this time, the cavalry with the authority to move freely throughout the city will come and catch them all." Joseph explained his new strategy Method.

   This method is obviously a large-scale change, and coupled with the Equality Council's low-key actions, it seems that it really has an effect. In fact, it facilitated the actions of the Equality Association. They obtained the cavalry pass, and at night they disguised themselves as cavalry to move unimpeded and quickly in the city.

   "Sounds interesting." Francois took a sip of his wine.

"At the beginning, we captured several people from the Equality Society through new tactics. Later, they didn't dare to show up anymore, and the city has basically stabilized. It is really not worthwhile to use an independent mixed division to hold back this group of rebels. We can't keep being passive like this.”

"I don't want to be passive, but this group of people has been on the scene for almost three years. We have almost exhausted our methods, but we still haven't been able to eradicate them..." I watched the Equality Association go from just driving people to march to now being able to fight head-to-head with them. Francois regretted it at the beginning, how he wished to go back to three years ago, and killed this group of people from the very beginning.

   "Don't worry, I'm currently preparing a new plan, and I will definitely find them out one by one and wipe them out completely." Joseph assured Francois.

Francois put down his glass and smiled: "I called you here because I wanted to tell you about this. The conflict between Bash and Welland has reached its peak, and every day there may be a sudden war. By then we will also An army will be dispatched to assist Welland in the battle. I am worried that equality will take advantage of this time to re-activate activities in Lazein. If you can think of a way to wipe them out, or even just suppress them during this period, Even if it solved the biggest anxiety in my heart."

"With me here and the independent editor here, no matter what happens outside, it is impossible for the Equality Council to cause any disturbance." Joseph hesitated at this moment, hesitating whether he should use Francois to recognize him more At the time, I mentioned that I also brought the two guard regiments under my command.

   Considering François' cautious and suspicious character, he still let go of the matter of completely controlling Laizein.

   "I'm at ease with your words. If you need support, just tell me, as long as you can destroy the Equality Society." The next second, Francois took the initiative.

  Joseph, who had just suppressed that thought, was moved again.

  The world situation is just as Francois said, the war between Bash and Wellland is on the verge of breaking out, and the two factions behind them are also ready to move.

   To control the two guard regiments earlier, it would be best to completely empty Francois.

   "I feel...there may not be enough people." After thinking over and over again, Joseph vaguely proposed his idea of ​​expansion, "But the plan has not been officially released, and it is still unknown whether there will be enough people."

   "This is not a problem. There are not enough independent mixed divisions and there are two guard regiments. If the two guard regiments are not enough, they can be transferred." Francois waved his hand.

   "If there is a gap, two regiments of guards are enough." Joseph followed along.

"Okay, if you need it at that time, I will let the two guard regiments cooperate with you." Francois said 'cooperation', not for him to 'dispatch', which meant that he still would not let Joseph be in Lazein Sitting big, he will hold on to this important check and balance force.

   "If there is no problem with the manpower, there should be no problem with this matter." Joseph was disappointed in his heart, but he answered very simply, not leaving a little bit of dissatisfaction and desire for the two guard regiments in front of Francois.

  Francois is very satisfied with everything about Joseph, but it is this kind of inability to find fault that makes him feel a little jealous and vigilant: "Then I will wait for your good news."

   "We will definitely not disappoint the President's expectations." Joseph said.

"Okay, it's nothing, you go to deal with official business, and get rid of the Equality Society, which is my confidant, as soon as possible." Francois still has urgent matters to deal with. After arranging for Joseph to continue to vigorously prevent and eliminate the Equality Society, let him It goes about its own business.

   "Understood." Joseph didn't hesitate, and immediately got up to salute, then left the office, left the government building and got into the car.

   "How is it?" Adel, who was also sitting in the car, asked.

   Joseph sighed, his expression unchanged: "Francois is still wary of people, and he refuses to let go of all the cards in his hand easily."

  Adel glanced at the government building next to him: "It's getting late, he doesn't move and we force him to move again like before."
