Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 248 Simply neat

"Understood, teacher." Verac knew what to do was correct, and would not really act with negative emotions, "Then I won't wait for Sarah and Eve, and go to find Monroe to clarify his identity first, and then Interfere with their plans as an Equal Society."

   "Can one person do it?"

  Verak held his gun and walked towards the door: "No matter how ruthless Monroe is, he won't provoke me after knowing my identity and create a new enemy for the Sea Rat Gang."

   "Okay." Keating was relieved to see that Veraker had managed a lot of things by himself, and the advice and help he could give dwindled.

  Leaving the hotel, Verac didn't keep a low profile this time. He found Sarah and Eve who had just removed the nearby staff, got the car keys from them, and drove back to Manchester City.

  Verak parked the car in front of the door of Minke's Tavern, which inevitably attracted the attention of many passers-by.

  Anyone who has been here for a while knows that there is only one car in Manchester City, and usually only the old Monroe of the Sea Rat Gang can take it. But now, there were two cars parked in front of Minke's Tavern, so someone of the same level as Monroe must have arrived.

  Seeing that Monroe's car was also there, Verac guessed that he should be back, got out of the car and went straight to the tavern.

   "Verak!" As soon as Verak entered, he heard Monroe calling him enthusiastically.

   He saw that Monroe was still sitting in the old seat, looking sloppy when he didn't go out to meet people, so he strode over to sit opposite him.

   "Heywell said, you went to the city in the morning?" Monroe said.

   "Yes." Verac declined Monroe to pour him a drink, and sat upright.

  Monroe sensed that something was wrong with Verak's behavior after he came back, so he kept a lazy smile and asked, "What did you do?"

   "We've been getting along for a while, Monroe." Verak liked this kind of aboveboard conversation, and the careful camouflage was really uncomfortable. "What kind of guesses have you had about my background? Tell me."

   "What do you mean?" Monroe smiled even wider.

   "Do you suspect that I am an undercover agent sent by the government? Or do you suspect that I am an eyeliner for other gangs?" Veraker observed Monroe's expression with great interest.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Monroe and Veraker took the lead to avoid their eyes and took a sip of wine: "Since you have brought it up, then these must not be. To be honest, I really can't figure out your background, otherwise I won't play with you for so long."

   "I won't play around with you anymore, I'm a member of the Equal Society." Seeing that Monroe had no clue, Verac revealed his identity.

   "The Equality Society... what is it? Ah, the one from the books you showed me that day?" Monroe didn't show any surprise.

"Yes."

   "So you showed me those books on purpose and wanted me to be of use to you?" Monroe speculated on the purpose of lurking by his side for so long based on some of Verac's previous behaviors.

  The description in Monroe's mouth made Verak feel uncomfortable. He emphasized and corrected: "It is to let you recognize something."

"Recognize what? What can I do after reading your books? They are all obscure or absurd. What's the use?" scoffed.

"Don't you think you're the most ridiculous one?" Verac pointed out Monroe's despicableness mercilessly, "I want others to treat you equally, but I refuse to treat others equally. Desire to change the status quo, But I have never humbly learned the way to change. I just read a few lines casually, but I can comment on those works so high..."

   "Very pertinent criticism." Monroe responded with a thick face.

  Villac took a deep breath, and did not make a hard decision on this issue with Monroe: "I'm revealing my identity now because I think we can cooperate."

   "What is the cooperation? Let us help you overthrow the Dunman government like you did when you attacked the Brexi government building before? That's nothing to talk about. We just want to survive and don't want to be anyone's enemy." Monroe refused with a smile.

"Your request is to stay in the old South Atlantic Treaty Organization and continue to live, and you don't have to be breathless because of the government's harsh new conscription law and other bills." Verak ignored Monroe's joke, and said the content of the cooperation solemnly, "Our The purpose is to put pressure on the Dunman government to force them to cancel the new conscription law and fire the first shot of equality in Dunman."

  The two sides did communicate with each other on this matter.

  Munro's banter is a little less, and he is of course happy to see powerful allies join in to solve the crisis together: "It's interesting to hear it this way, you continue to talk."

"Since our general direction is the same, it is best to unite and gather strength, so as to have a better chance of winning." Verak said, "If you think it is necessary for us to cooperate, then we can arrange a meeting nearby. A meeting, meeting with all parties, and discussing a practical plan."

"Then?"

   "After what?"

Monroe looked as if you understood me: "You don't need to hide it, you have found out all about me. If you still have reservations, it would be too dishonest. Tell me if you successfully abolish the new Conscription, what are you going to do?"

   "We will establish a sub-station here to gather strength to fight for more rights that should belong to the people of Dunman." Virak said this frankly, and I am not afraid of what will happen to Monroe if he finds out.

   "Just that? Just do this?" Monroe was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of disbelief.

   "Then what do you think we will do after we succeed?" Verak probably knew what kind of person Emonro was, and what speculation he would make about them.

   "Make money and strive for benefits." Monroe said as it should.

   This time it was Veraker's turn to sneer: "We're not for that."

   "Impossible." Monroe is very confident about this. He has been around for so long and understands human nature too well.

"So I hope you will not be ignorant and arrogant." Verac gave up and proved how pure their pursuit was with Monroe. A person with a black heart can't see the light no matter how you describe it, "Before you regarded it as useless The Equality of Things, the Internationale, the Women's Manifesto are all still in my room, and I'll show them to you later."

   "I don't need it." Monroe shook his head, telling Verak not to waste his time.

Verac didn't follow Munro's intentions. He was very confident in "Equality" and other books, and he was very confident in the answer: "Don't rush to resist, or if you don't want to, just read it carefully in order to understand us and know the bottom line. Take a look. When you really read it, you will definitely gain something."

   "Alright." Monroe finally agreed.

"In addition, you should also know about newspapers. Sometimes even what you see and hear with your own eyes can't be true. How can you unconditionally believe the words of the Bresci government as the truth?" Verak said. This time, I didn't try to defend myself, but let others learn to question the so-called news and the truth.

  Monroe's eyes flashed: "It makes sense."

   "So what about cooperation?" Verac waited for Monroe to express his opinion.

"Don't be so anxious." Monroe was more cautious, filling up the wine with a smile, "You also said that you can't trust other people's words unconditionally. No matter how big my heart is, I have to check and verify before going to Lao Jin, Ruffalo and the others will discuss it before they can give a formal reply. Of course, if what you said is true, then there is no harm at all, at least I am personally very willing to cooperate."

   "How long will it take for me to reply?" Verak asked.

   "Three days." Monroe gave almost enough time for the three of them to make a decision, "After three days, we will tell you whether we cooperate or not."

   At the Gold and Quinn Taverns, Keating also gave Boss Xin three days.

  In this way, the two parties will have results at the same time on February 12th.

   "Then see you on the twelfth." Verak didn't plan to stay with Manchester City for a long time. Gold has been very busy these days, so instead of staying here and waiting for news from Monroe, it is better to go back and help implement the most important things as soon as possible.

   "Go back to the urban area? Don't you want to continue living in Manchester City?" Monroe had expected that all of Veraker's people would live in the urban area.

   "What are you doing here?"

   "Come with me to see Lao Jin and Ruffalo, and tell them what you said just now. If they have other questions, you can also answer them to promote the cooperation." Monroe said.

Verak shook his head, acting neither humble nor overbearing: "I came to see you and offered you cooperation without any harsh conditions. This is the biggest promotion that our Equality Association has made for cooperation. As for the relayed matter, you Now that you have heard what I just said, then this matter can be left to you. As for whether there are new problems with the Gold Flash Gang and the Black Street Gang, I don’t think there is anything to say, and I don’t think they are in this general direction. What other barb-like issues can be raised to thwart cooperation when they are consistent.”

   Monroe had nothing to say.

   "Our side has made the greatest sincerity and efforts, and then only your own problems are left." Verak threw the miscellaneous problems that might arise to Monroe's side.

   "Is this the real you?" Monroe's eyes were full of appreciation.

   "Yes." Verac said.

"Now I'm really interested in what you said about the theory of equality." In Munro's eyes, it's not that "Theory of Equality" and other books endow Verac with value and charm, but that through his own performance, Verac "Equality", which he had despised before, became different.

  Verak got up, and finally said to Monroe: "Those books are in my room, you can send someone to get them, and I will come back on the twelfth."

   "Okay, let's go slowly." In front of Verak who hadn't walked out of the tavern, Monroe called his men to pick up the book.

  Villac went straight out of the tavern, got into the car, and returned to Mantelin Avenue in the urban area.

Because whether he resolved the misunderstanding with Boss Xin at Quinn's Tavern, or discussed cooperation with Monroe at Mink's Tavern, he was quite straightforward. After finishing everything, it was only noon, and it was in time for the meal, so it was rare for me to have a meal with Keating.

  In the hotel, Yves bought food, and the four of them sat at the table and talked about business while eating.

   "What did Monroe say?" Keating asked about the cooperation.

Verak was eating Dunman's special food, and said vaguely: "He said that he needs to discuss with the bosses of the other two gangs first, and give me an answer in three days. Anyway, this matter is basically settled, we can do something in advance Prepare."

Keating chewed his food slowly: "That's good. In the next few days, Sara and Eve will check the gold transportation channels again to make sure nothing goes wrong. Three days later, we will officially establish the Dunman of the Equal Society in the Quinn Tavern Substation, solve the matter of Dunman’s new conscription law, and then hand it over to Sara and Ive to take care of the development, and we will go to Pullman.”

   "Where is the gold going? Boyne, Morais, and the others have any ideas about the use of gold?" Verac asked about the situation of gold.

"It's too risky to store such a large amount of gold in the same place again, so it will be divided into hundreds of batches and transported to different places for storage and management." Keating drank his saliva and rested temporarily, "The use of gold, Boyin He and Morais haven’t notified yet, but I think it should be used first to vigorously establish sub-stations, help civilians, and improve the channels of various departments of the Equality Association.”

"I think it is really necessary for us to strengthen the propaganda power of newspapers and other aspects. After contacting Dunman people during this period of time, I found that they did not understand the purpose of our attack on the Brexi government building. Most of them chose to listen The Brecy government's unilateral rhetoric." Verak felt a lot about this and couldn't help appealing.

Keating is also aware of this problem: "It's not just you, the sub-stations outside during this time have noticed this situation and are helping to expand the truth while making suggestions to Boyne and Morais. Believe this Things will come to a resolution very quickly, too."

   "Is there any prospect on Pruman's side?" Verak asked a lot of questions.

   "Yes." Keating said, "Our people established a sub-station there some time ago, and found some clues. We should be able to find those people when we go there."

Since the Equality Society deciphered the source of the Internationale and learned that there are revolutionaries with more advanced ideas than them in the distant Pluman, it has spent several months establishing a sub-station there to search for like-minded people. people.

   "That's good, just go directly to the comrades in our sub-station." Verak said.

   "I have been to Pruman once, the climate there is pleasant, and spring will begin after a while, so you don't need to wear such thick clothes when you go there." Sara interjected.

   "That's pretty good." Verac has been severely frozen this winter.

  First, he completed the task of attacking Brexi’s government in the winter, and then traveled half a month to Dunman in the coldest time. Now that spring is finally coming, he feels much more relaxed.

   "Okay, let's stop chatting, hurry up and eat." Keating finished the conversation, urging several people to finish their meal first, "There are new tasks to be done in the afternoon."

   "Understood." Verac, who was looking forward to spring, quickly picked up the rice.
