Twenty Seven Years Chapter 524

prison

Locked alone in a cell, Verak scratched the wall with his nails.

As of today, there are six lines he has drawn on the wall, which means he spent six days in prison.

Of course, apart from the six lines drawn by himself, there are countless marks on the three walls of the prison, which were drawn by other people who were imprisoned here.

Seeing these scenes, Verak could clearly feel the despair of the civilians who had been captured for no reason.

"Hey, lunch."

Outside the prison, a jailer brought a rather hearty and delicious treat.

"Thank you." Verak got up and took the plate and iron spoon, sat back on the hard plank bed and ate calmly.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, the jailer went on to the next cell.

After the jailer left, Verac put down the dinner plate in an orderly manner, and began to draw a clearer pattern on the wall with the end of the spoon.

world map.

This was what Keating taught him when he was held in Daymans Prison.

Keating said at the time that even if we cut off the information from the outside world, we can still try to deduce the development of the situation by cognition, knowledge reserves, and logic.

Deduction is not necessarily accurate, but it is much more useful than sitting or lying in a daze.

Verak deeply agrees.

Especially in the current environment, if you want to maintain basic judgment, you must have your own thinking.

Through the rough map, Veraker started by studying the overall situation.

Before he was arrested, the alliance of Pluman, Bash, Sdr and other countries almost forced Wellland and Castellan to the point of no return.

The situation in Welland and Castelia is critical. The Bresci government army and the Equality Army are fighting in full swing, and they don't care about the outside world. The only variable in the current world situation is Dunman.

When a country is neither too strong to be invincible nor too weak to do anything, what it needs to do most is to check and balance each other, to prevent other countries from becoming too strong and threatening itself, and to support the weaker ones to become stronger , Share the stress with yourself.

Dunman also has a high probability of doing the same.

Therefore, Dunman will not fall to the Pluman Alliance, allowing Pluman and Bash to become the replacements of Wellland and Bresey, once again blocking their own path to rise.

At this time, the Pluman Alliance has the upper hand, even if Dunman is on the side of Welland, the chances of winning are not great.

Betting the entire country on a matter with little chance of winning is something that only a madman can do.

Therefore, Dunman focused on Bresci and began to provide support to the government army, hoping that the government army would defeat the Pinghe Army as soon as possible, unify Bresci, and have the ability to unify the outside world.

With the addition of Blessie, plus Dunman, Wellland, and Castella, the tilt of the balance became inevitable...

It was under the influence of such an international situation that the Feitier line of defense became difficult.

So, after the failure of the Equality Army's initiative to attack, what else can the International Equality Alliance do to resist the government forces?

Answers are clearly visible.

Verak knew that the road was not over yet.

The reason why President Auston and General Selter were anxious to ask him to persuade the International Equality League to surrender was not that they believed that the government army had a chance to win and that it was meaningless to continue fighting, but that they were afraid that everything would be like it was more than half a year ago. The interests of the country came to the door, and once again became the backer of the International Equality League.

—Maybe it's not just Bash.

Lelister City, in front of the International Equality Alliance office building

Two cars came at a constant speed and parked neatly on the side of the road.

Soon, two men in suits and leather shoes got out of the car.

They are the Ambassador Selivanovich of Bash in Bresci, and the Minister Felix of Pruman in Bresci.

Since the fall of the Bresci government, Bash's relationship with the people sent by the government has taken a turn for the worse because of his interests. He and Pruman's Minister Felix have been moving the embassy following the location of the main station of the International Equality League.

Now, it is time for them to cooperate with the International Equality Coalition.

Led by comrades of the International Equality League, the two graciously let their entourage stay in the living room, and came alone to the office of Keating, the chairman of the International Equality League.

"Long time no see, now it's time to call you Chairman Keating." Selivanovich had dealt with Keating and Boyne a lot before, and this time he was very warm and acquainted, "Come on, I'll come Introduce each other. This is Robin Keating, President of the International Equality League, and this is Felix, Pluman's Minister at Bressis."

"Hello."

Keating shook hands with Felix, who had curly hair and was about the same age as him: "Please sit down."

Selivanovich and Felix sat on the sofa on one side.

"Let's talk straight to the point." Keating was busy with affairs, and he didn't want to waste time with this group of people.

"Okay." Selivanovich crossed his legs, with a friendly smile on his face, "You and Mr. Boyne are both very straightforward people, so let's talk straight. You should know our purpose, Dun The Manns are now providing assistance to the Bresci government forces, and they want to get rid of the International Equality Alliance as soon as possible, and then concentrate the forces of Bresci and Dunman to join the current world war situation and compete with Welland, Castelia Fight against us together. That is to say, just like half a year ago when the Allied Forces of Wellland and Brecy blocked us in the Sinevillen Sea, and the Brecy government army fought against you at home, Bash, Pullman, and International The coalition is once again on the same page."

"Yeah." Keating knew this all too well.

"Minister Felix and I hope that we can cooperate again. Brexi's government forces have Dunmans to provide assistance, and we can definitely provide more support for the International Equality Alliance. In this way, the International Equality Alliance can maintain or even reverse the situation , we can also not have to worry about Bresci and Dunman interfering with our war."

Keating personally poured a glass of water for the two: "I think the situation this time is quite different from before."

"Of course, there was only us Bash before, and this time there is Pluman represented by Minister Felix. The advanced weapons, medicines, living supplies, technical personnel, and combat personnel we can provide will be astronomical. Other aspects Yes, you can just mention it." Selivanovich said confidently.

In his opinion, the situation of the International Equality League is in jeopardy. The cooperation was so pleasant last time, and there is no reason to refuse this time.

"I have some information here, I think you can take a look." Keating got up, rummaged through a file cabinet beside him, found a file bag, and handed it to Selivanovich.

"What is this?" Selivanovich asked as he opened the file bag and took out the photos and reports inside.

Minister Felix also turned his head to check the contents.

Soon, the faces of the two froze, and quickly darkened.

Keating dictated the photos and what was recorded in the report: "Pluman's army occupied the entire territory of the Lombard Empire in a very short period of time, and then carried out horrific atrocities in its large and small towns, Including but not limited to massacres, deportation of civilians, rape, looting, enslavement. There are some more inhumane actions, I can't even name them."

The smile of Minister Felix disappeared completely: "This is slander, this is the slander of Welland and Castellan, just like the Brisey government army previously discredited the International Equality League. I think you are not Will believe such a poor lie."

"The International Equality League has a branch station in Pluman, these are what our comrades have seen with their own eyes." Keating said.

"What about us Bash? We have a good friendship, otherwise we wouldn't have cooperated half a year ago." Selivanovich was not in a hurry to get caught up in the debate about Pruman's atrocities, anyway, even if the International Equality League refused to cooperate with If they cooperate with Pluman, Bash can still pack Pluman's materials and provide them to the International Equality Alliance together with his own to achieve the ultimate goal.

"It's all in there." Keating glanced at the portfolio.

Selivanovich had a bad feeling, and he quickly took out some information from his file bag. As expected, it was about Bash's suppression of the rebellious people when he controlled Nile.

"What do you mean by showing us this?" Selivanovich asked.

"Since we have cooperated before, you should have a basic understanding of the International Equality Alliance, why we were established, and why we are fighting with our lives." Keating said calmly.

"Heh..." Selivanovich couldn't help laughing, "You mean, because we have done these things, which are contrary to the demands of the International Equality League, so you refuse to cooperate with us?"

"Yes." Keating clearly refused.

This decision was discussed in a meeting before Selivanovic and Felix came.

As a result, the comrades gave a unanimous opinion, refusing to cooperate with Pluman and Bash, and refusing to accept the assistance of the other party.

"I understand what you mean." Felix's expression softened, "You are worried that after cooperating with us, there will be a gap between words and deeds and the public, and then you will lose the public's trust and support for the International Equality League. It's simple, our cooperation can be private, everything is done in secret. In the end, we each get what we want, and the reputation of the International Equality League will not be affected."

"You want the International Equality League to deceive the people, and join forces with you who slaughtered millions of innocent people?" Keating was a little angry.

Felix's words are simply an insult to the International Equality League.

And the word "collusion" also offended Felix and Selivanovich.

It's ridiculous to be described as such when they "made a big show of kindness" to "save" the International Equality League.

Selivanovich first shot back: "Did you forget half a year ago? We did something similar in Nero half a year ago. At that time, why didn't you and Mr. Boyne refuse to cooperate? The International Equality League at that time, Are you collaborating?"

"As a Bashi, you must know what happened at that time. In order to gain the support of the people of Nile, you all secretly provoked the Nile government and the people of Nile to confront each other, and then profited from it. And this matter, because you It's a deliberate cover-up, because our International Equality League has not yet established a branch in Nile, and we have the ability to grasp sufficient truth, so not many people know about it.” Keating said.

"You want to say that you and Mr. Boyne cooperated with us because you and Mr. Boyne didn't know about it at the time? This is too hypocritical. What intentions do we Bash have for Nero? What will be done, although we can't put it on the surface, but everyone knows it well. I didn't see it, I didn't get the information, and you and Mr. Boyne assured us, is this credible?" Sheliwan Norwich laughed jokingly.

"You're right. Boyin and I know what you will do, your essence. It's just that you were targeting the Nile government and the Welland government, not the people themselves. So even if some people will be affected, In the context of our cooperation, their influence is also valuable. But now it is different, your behavior cannot be understood by ordinary people, you are crazy and inhuman, life is worthless in your eyes, you are extreme , You have only brought disasters to this world." Keating couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought of the shocking reports and photos sent back from various sub-stations, "In addition, what can be clarified now is that we have been There are sub-stations. After Bash interfered with the sovereignty of Nile, we also established sub-stations in Nile. The comrades in these sub-stations are fighting for the equality, freedom, dignity, and right of survival of the local people all the time.”

Selivanovich's eyes became unfriendly: "I think there is no difference between cooperating in the context of the harm of the Nile people and the harm of the Lombard people."

"I suggest you stop these atrocities immediately." Keating replied.

Felix wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose with a towel: "Chairman Keating, at this time, you have to put aside these bloated ideas and moral sense. We don't need to talk about the current situation of the International Equality League. If you refuse to cooperate , then the International Equality Alliance will have no chance of defeating the government forces. It won't take long before your Fetier line of defense will collapse, and there will be government soldiers all over here.”

"Yes, with our cooperation, the International Equality Alliance will be more able to help more people when it grows stronger. You will be wiped out after a week or half a month, but nothing can be done." Shelivanovi Qi agreed.

"I reiterate for the last time that the International Equality Alliance refuses to cooperate." Keating paused word by word.

"Since you can't be friends, then... are you sure you want to be an enemy of the whole world? There are no countries or allies in this world that meet your strict standards." Selivanovich threatened faintly.

"Then let me add one more thing." Keating realized what he had missed, "The ultimate goal of the International Equality League is to liberate the whole world."

The corner of Selivanovich's mouth twitched, and he said sarcastically: "You should first find a way to solve the problem of Fetier's defense line."
