Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 185 Untitled

  November 27 at seven o'clock in the morning

  The training on the second day of the first training class officially started.

  The concept of equality has been fully explained yesterday, and today Keating and Piaf will be in charge of the morning and afternoon classes respectively.

  Verak is relatively relaxed, because he and Keating are on equal footing in the understanding of equality, and being Keating's assistant yesterday helped him a lot. But today, what Keating was going to talk about was very complicated, basically not what he was good at, so he was not assigned any special tasks.

  So Verac and Piaf sat aside and listened, thinking about the preparation of weapons along the way.

  They want to fight the government as equals, and if they want to win the fight against the government, they must become stronger themselves. There is only one way to become powerful now, and that is to arm yourself.

  So, the importance of weapons is unparalleled, and it can be compared with works like "Theory of Equality" that have awakened countless people.

  One is birth, and the other is how to realize the birth.

   "Comrade Keating knows a lot." Piaf sighed to Verac in a low voice.

   Keating can fluently switch between multiple languages ​​and communicate with the students. Regardless of whether the students' questions are remote, he can more or less express his own understanding and opinions.

  The greatest charm of this man is his unfathomable knowledge.

   "Yes, as long as you get along with Mr. Keating, you will learn new things continuously." Having dealt with Keating for so long, Verac knows too well what will happen when everyone gets along with Keating for a long time.

"To be honest, I want to accept Comrade Keating's training as a student." Keating was deeply impressed.

  Villac didn't speak, but smiled while listening to Keating talk about the international situation. It can be said that he was abandoned for more than 20 years, but fortunately he finally woke up. He will not waste the rest of his life in the future. He will strive to catch up with Keating, fulfill his expectations of himself, surpass and become a new peak.

"The civil war in the United States of Dunman is gradually subsiding. The United States of Dunman in the north has a great advantage. It won't be long before they will win a complete victory." Keating sat on a chair, holding a glass of water, and looked at the blackboard like the students The world map drawn on the website, "In my opinion, this is a unique war in military history. If nothing else, this war will innovate and set a new standard of war, which will leave a deep impression on the whole world."

  The students listened with gusto. Verac's back was straightened, and Piaf's arms were crossed. They also listened very carefully.

Almost everyone is aware of the civil war between the United States of Dunman and the United States of Dunman, but everyone only knows that one country is settling the conflicts accumulated in the past. Next, it will either formally complete the unification, or the situation will become more chaotic, causing international turmoil .

   The rest is unclear.

   Keating wanted to use this war in his homeland to bring you a comprehensive understanding of what great changes have taken place in the vast world in recent years, and what are the far-reaching impacts of these great changes.

"In fact, the reason for the outbreak of the Dunman Civil War is that since independence, the contradictions in the economic systems pursued by the North and the South have become irreconcilable. However, as the scale of the war expanded, the overall contradictions and conflicts were pushed to the peak of intensity. It was It gives more meaning..." Keating's tone was still so calm, analyzing the situation as neutrally and objectively as possible.

  Verak heard this content in prison.

  At that time, Keating didn't receive much news from the outside world for two years. He only had a brief understanding of Veraker's few words, and then made a guess. When they were released from prison and rushed to Laizein non-stop, the two who bought the newspaper found that the development of the matter was almost in line with Keating's expectations.

  Villac admired Keating even more since then, and recognized Keating's military level.

  He was curious about the difference between the world in his own eyes and the world in Keating’s eyes. Why was Keating able to accurately predict the direction of a major war and the future development of a country just by looking at the same map?

   Keating's narration continued in his ears, and Veraker's eyes were deeply immersed in the world map drawn by Keating himself.

There are thirteen countries or regions in the world today. Among them, the Bash Empire has a large area and a dense population. It has the largest area and the largest population, and its development potential is extremely huge. recognized as the most powerful country.

After them, Keating considered the Pluman Empire to rank fourth in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength, and it was also believed that there was a revolutionary organization that was more developed than the Equality Society. .

   After that, the United States of Dunman. Even if the gap between the original and the previous is not too big, after the internal conflicts are basically resolved through this civil war, it will surely usher in a new period of development and take-off.

Except for these five countries that are becoming stronger, or gradually becoming stronger, the rest of the Castelian Empire, the Kingdom of Sidr, the Monlego Empire, the Shennai Empire, the Nile Empire, the Lombard Empire, the Riches Federation, and the Polk Kingdom They are still in a period of low-speed development. Under the unprecedented expansion of the ambitions and strength of the great powers, they are losing hope of rising bit by bit.

   This is almost the world situation that Verak understands.

  The international situation is changing rapidly, and new changes may occur at any time, breaking the original balance.

  Keating has always maintained a pessimistic attitude towards the international situation. He believes that the whole world is like the United States of Dunman, which has accumulated contradictions and diseases. Now that Dunman's accumulation has reached its peak, a huge national war has to break out to solve all problems at once. And the world is still saving, and when it is necessary, its outbreak, and the scale of the war it leads to spread to the world will far exceed the Dunman Civil War.

  The world war that may break out at that time made Verak dare not even think about it.

  He didn't know if what Keating said would happen, and if so when it would happen.

  They can't even control the situation in Laizein, and they are still struggling with the government. How will they deal with world-class changes in the future?

  Verak believes that Keating's speculation is not groundless, and there may indeed be a war in the future that no country can escape.

   But if it really happens, he will never remain pessimistic. He will regard this world war as the best opportunity to wash away the old world, and follow this wave to do his best to build a brand new world.

   Before I knew it, it was noon again.

   Today's class is relatively easy, and Keating is more of a test, so there is no overtime. When it is time for meal, Keating will end in time, let everyone leave for lunch, and take a brief lunch break.

   "You speak very well!" said Piaf.

   This is the countless times she has praised Keating. Keating still looks modest, waving his hands to show that he is nothing special, and their getting along and working together is a process of learning from each other.

   "Verak, I see you seem to be thinking about something?" When we went to the cafeteria for dinner together, Keating talked about the details he noticed during the morning lecture.

   "Yes." Verak didn't expect to explain so much knowledge to the students, and Keating still had time to observe him. "I thought about the preparation of weapons, and I heard the teacher talk about the Dunman civil war, and I thought of the international situation."

   Keating was very interested in Veraker's thoughts: "Do you have any ideas? Tell me."

   "I don't have any special ideas, I just want to find an opportunity to discuss with you in depth, why do you think a global war may break out one day in the future?" Verak said.

"These are more complicated and profound, and I will hold a special training class in the future, and I will specially arrange to talk about these things at that time." Keating thought of Nord and Diaz, "By the way, I think Nord and Diaz It is not convenient for the three of them, Murphy and the others, to be arranged in the training class, after all, the students who can enter the training class are carefully selected by Comrade Piaf, and we need to maintain fairness."

   "Yes." Verak had no objection, and they had already said this.

Keating changed the topic: "However, I don't have this level of concern in the special training class I run, and I can definitely absorb them. Although I haven't seen any outstanding performance in their abilities, they are willing to save you. Giving everything, this friendship is worth admiring."

   "That's better." Verac also planned to find time to teach the three of them privately, without considering that Keating could arrange better opportunities for them.

"I personally think this is the most appropriate way. On the other hand, some of them are illiterate, and some are not natives. There is still a period of time before the special training class starts, which can just leave room for them to grasp the basic things. catch up." Keating talked about other reasons for this plan, "Otherwise, even if they can be arranged in ordinary training classes now, some of them can't even write words, and they can't take notes. How can we ensure that their learning quality can reach Average, or even just a passing grade?"

"You are right. This arrangement is undoubtedly the best choice. I will inform them when I go back at noon, so that they don't realize the importance of learning and can't make good use of this precious opportunity." Verak knows that Ki Ting was willing to give these three people extra help, mainly for his sake. He must let the three of them strive for success, grasp every opportunity like him, and achieve a better self.

"If possible, I would also like to go and listen to your special training class." Piaf followed, "I think what you are teaching is already very profound, and the special training class must be more rewarding. If I It would be a great loss not to listen to it.”

   Keating laughed. He likes Piaf very much. She is tough and independent, but also ignorant of her own opinion. She is diligent in her studies. She is also a good seed: "Of course I welcome it."

   While talking and joking, several people arrived at the cafeteria. The cafeteria is quite crowded at this point. After they finished their meal, they found an empty seat in the corner to enjoy it.

   "How is the preparation for the afternoon class?" Keating asked while eating.

   "I think it's not bad, and I hope you can sit in and give me some important opinions." Piaf sent an invitation to Keating.

   "I'm honored." Keating said.

   Piaf turned and looked at Verak: "Comrade Verak, what about you?"

"I still have some things to deal with in the afternoon, so let's not pass it. Anyway, our training is not limited to this period, and there will be opportunities in the future." Verak plans to accompany the students during the next six days of combat training, and learn to fight himself Therefore, within a week, he should only have enough time this afternoon to see the situation of Nord and Diaz.

   "Okay." Piaf didn't mind.

   "Are you going to see the three of them?" Keating asked.

  Verak nodded and took a sip of water: "Well, I can plan other things."

   "Then do it according to your arrangement." Keating did not interfere with Veraker's schedule, "Come to me anytime if you have any questions."

   "Don't worry." Verak grinned.

   Now it is not so easy for him to encounter a problem that cannot be solved, and even if he encounters it, it is difficult for ordinary people to help him solve it.

   After eating, Keating and Piaf didn't bother to take a break, and returned to the training class classroom to prepare for the afternoon training.

Verac returned to the hotel alone, called Nord, Diaz, and Murphy to his room, and informed Keating of their follow-up arrangements: "...The situation is like this, this time Teacher Keating has provided you with a lot of A rare learning opportunity. Diaz, I am not worried, Nord and Murphy, you must at least learn to write and recognize characters in the shortest possible time."

   "I've been studying lately, and I've been keeping a diary every day at Diaz's suggestion," Nord said.

  Murphy's Bresci has also become proficient with the naked eye: "I am also writing."

   "I also read the content of the Theory of Equality to them every day, first to deepen my understanding, and second, to let them have a basic concept first." Diaz reported his situation in the past two days.

   "This is the best." Verak was very pleased.

Diaz never let him down, and Nord and Murphy are also very competitive. If things continue like this, they will have no major problems entering Keating's special training class. Equality will contribute more power.

   "Do you feel tired?" Verak looked at Nord.

  Nord is the most afraid of suffering, and among the three, he is also most worried that Nord will not be able to persist and give up halfway.

"It feels more strenuous than work, but seeing so many of you persevering, I also want to empathize with you through my own efforts." Nord said from the bottom of his heart, "I know what you are worried about, afraid of me Want to give up, right? It’s far from the point of talking about it now, at least wait until I finish Mr. Keating’s training class before making a decision.”

   "I'm quite confident. I feel that I can 100% enter Mr. Keating's training class?" Veraker was helpless with Nord's innate self-confidence.

   "Of course." Nord said as it should.

   "That's the best." Verak nodded slightly, and looked at the faces of the three of them one by one. Like most of the people in the Equality Society, they were young and full of vigor, "I hope you won't let me down."
