Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 300 Despicable

  First Cavalry Camp, Joseph Office

  Joseph and Adel are discussing how to completely control the independent mixer division all night.

At present, if you want to control the independent mixed division, you must clear the obstacles of the two commanders of the 7th Light Infantry Regiment and the 15th Light Infantry Regiment, and Adel's earliest proposal to directly assassinate them is because of the relatively high risk. Not adopted yet.

"The independent mixed division is Francois' direct line of troops, otherwise he wouldn't have called Pissel back." Adel knew very well that Francois had two purposes for calling the independent mixed division back. It is to suppress the Equality Association, and the second is to suppress the parliamentary forces, to ensure that we can restore the monarchy and ascend the throne, "or try to introduce people from the parliamentary faction? They have reached a check and balance with Benson and Jeffrey. For us There are great benefits."

   "No, the current situation alone is enough for us to have a headache. If the parliament is involved again, the matter is likely to be beyond our control." Joseph still has no confidence to mediate between Francois and the parliament faction.

   "So do you have any better ideas?"

Joseph nodded slightly: "Didn't the Equality Association do propaganda work in the three corps, and the progress is not bad? Many soldiers in the corps are fellow villagers. They often meet and chat together, and gradually form small groups. Equality It will be completely possible to target these groups for publicity, and the efficiency will be twice the result with half the effort."

  Adel said: "You mean from the bottom up, through the defection of the soldiers to empty the heads of the other two corps?"

"Well, we can only do this now. And the soldiers are all civilians, and we are on the same front. As long as the efficiency can be improved, this is a solution." In Joseph's view, this is the safest way, after all Time is not too tight.

"You also know that as the work done by the Propaganda Department becomes larger and larger, it is impossible to hide some enemies, so it is only a matter of time before they are discovered. In this case, we failed to complete Absolute control, their safety cannot be guaranteed. I think the most appropriate way is to go both ways, both bottom-up and top-down.” Adel worried that the propaganda would be discovered one day in the future, and Joseph also Unable to control the scene, after all, the other two light infantry regiments are hardly under Joseph's orders.

"Your idea is good. If this is possible, I certainly hope that we will do so, but it is not so easy to solve Colonel Benson and Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey. Even if you assassinate them all according to your method , who can guarantee that François’ new transfer will no longer be our enemy?” Joseph believes that attacking the two regiment leaders is full of too many uncertainties, “It’s okay to use this method once, if it’s replaced People with rich and powerful backgrounds, shall we kill them again? How can we kill them all? How can we guarantee that Francois will not suspect me?"

"Francois intends to train you to become a confidant. You have completed the absolute control of the independent mixed division and freed this army from the intervention of the dignitaries. In fact, it is more beneficial to Francois. But one thing is undeniable, Francois is too difficult to guess, on the surface he values ​​you very much, but secretly he doesn't know how to be on guard..." Adel sighed.

  Joseph never expected anything from Francois. Everyone was just using each other. If you want to get the support of the other party, it’s okay, as long as you provide equal benefits first.

   But he can't take it out now.

  His biggest reliance is that he has no background. What Francois lacks most now is a person like a blank sheet of paper, which is conducive to his control.

   And Francois is already promoting him, but he can't do other things except to show his loyalty again and again.

   "This matter is a long-term plan. Let's strengthen the promotion of the Equality Association first." Joseph played with the cigar, not in the mood to light it.

"Um."

"As for the leak of propaganda you just mentioned. That's right, as long as this continues to develop, it will definitely be discovered, just like equality will grow to a certain extent in Laizein, and the government will always be aware of it. The only problem is that It was discovered sooner or later. But as the commander of the independent mixed division, I can't avoid anything in the three corps. According to the current scale, I have the ability to handle it well-what I say handle it well is yes It refers to guaranteeing the continuation of propaganda and the safety of comrades of the Peace and Equality Association." Joseph gave Adel a guarantee.

He knew that nothing would happen to François when the propaganda incident was brought to Francois's side, because he had no contact with them on the surface, and the propaganda incident began when Pissel was still alive, so he assumed the responsibility It won't be very big. Adel's main concern is whether the safety of the comrades of the Equality Society and whether the propaganda will be interrupted due to exposure.

  While the two were talking, a soldier knocked on the door suddenly and walked in after getting Joseph's permission.

   "General, Captain Dana and Lieutenant Bunier of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion want to see you."

  These two are Joseph's subordinates. He even remembered that these two people have no work arrangements now, and they should be resting: "What are they looking for?"

   "I don't know, I just said it was urgent."

   "Call them in."

"Yes."

  The soldiers left, and soon, Dana and Bunier came to the office.

   "General."

   "General."

  Although Dana and Bunier dismissed Joseph, who was born as a commoner, in private, and often used some bad words to belittle him, they were still respectful when they were face to face, and did not dare to show the slightest contempt.

   "What's the matter? I remember that you don't have any plans today, and you should be resting at this point." Joseph sat on the sofa, watching the two calmly.

   "Uh..." Dana realized that Adel was still in the office, so he was worried about not reporting the shocking secret he had just seen.

Joseph saw why Dana hesitated, pointed at Adel and said, "These two are Captain Dana and Lieutenant Bunier, both of whom are the most outstanding talents under my command. This is Sherif Adel, He used to be the warden of Daymans Prison, and now he is specifically assisting me in eliminating the Equality Society. Everyone is my very trusted member of the family, and if you have anything to say, you can just say it.”

Knowing that this tall man with a strong sense of oppression was specially invited by Joseph to wipe out the Equality Society, Dana, who originally wanted to report information about the Equality Society, felt relieved: "General, I found traces of the Equality Society in the camp. !"

  Bunier, who was standing next to Dana, heard that he said "I" instead of "we", and his gaze changed slightly.

   "Is there any trace of the Equality Society in the camp? Who was caught by the patrol? Then why did you two come to report." Joseph asked puzzled.

"It's like this. I felt that something was wrong in the camp recently. I felt that there were some secrets hidden among the soldiers, so I quietly came out to patrol tonight, trying to confirm whether I was thinking too much or there was really a ghost. "Daina said, "Unexpectedly, when I searched the armory, I really discovered a shocking secret."

   "In the armory?" Joseph asked as he gestured for the two to sit down.

   "That's right! I found that every night in the armory, many soldiers would secretly gather together to discuss things related to the Equality Society, and there seemed to be non-military personnel present." Dana said while sitting on the sofa opposite Joseph.

"The non-military personnel should be the maintenance workers in the armory, and it seems that these maintenance workers are talking to the soldiers, so we guess that these maintenance workers should be undercover agents who will break into our interior on an equal footing. Propaganda." When Bunier added information, he slightly raised his voice on the word "we", reminding Dana not to forget his own contribution to this matter.

  Adel and Joseph looked at each other.

  The simple eye contact between the two immediately understood each other's meaning.

   Coincidentally, just after they finished discussing the matter of propaganda and exposure, two officers came to report the situation, and the guesses made based on the information they had were completely correct.

  Adel began to think about countermeasures in secret, while Joseph was in charge of seeking out more information and delaying time: "What are they talking about?"

"I didn't dare to get too close, for fear of alarming them. What is certain is that what they talked about has always revolved around the Equality Society." Dana didn't know whether he didn't understand or pretended not to understand, and still used "I" to refer Describe the situation.

  Seeing that Diane took all the credit, Bunier narrowed his eyes.

   "So, they didn't find you?"

"Yes."

   "Who else knows about this?"

   "Only me, Bunier, I came to report to you as soon as I found out the situation."

   "When did this happen?"

"Just now, I guess they haven't left yet, but I don't recommend you to go and check now, because you don't know how many people are involved. Once they are alarmed, our clues are likely to be cut off." Dana said solemnly Use what Bunier told him on the way here for his own use.

   Joseph looked thoughtful: "You are right, we can't disturb them now."

This time, Bunier was the first to talk about more of his speculations: "General, I don't think equality will only be promoted in the cavalry regiment. The Seventh and Fifteenth Light Infantry Regiments are also likely to be attacked. Infiltration. This is a large-scale secret invasion of the Equality Society, we must not act rashly, we must seize the opportunity to uproot them!"

   "That's right, I thought so too." Dana glanced at Bunier and said.

Bunier ignored Dana's gaze at all, and looked directly at Joseph to take back his credit: "In addition, when I found something unusual in the armory at night, I also found something unusual. Logically speaking, the patrol The army is led by officers, and if the patrolling soldiers slipped to the armory for a secret meeting in large numbers, the officers would not be unaware. But even though they knew about it, you haven’t received any report, what does that mean?”

  Joseph frowned, and said slightly angrily: "It seems that the equality society has penetrated very deeply."

  Burnier nodded: "Yes, I don't know how long this infiltration has lasted. We have very few people we can trust now. We must block the news, and we have to investigate it secretly before arranging actions."

   "It makes sense." Joseph agreed with Bunier's proposal.

   Seeing that Bunier was about to steal his limelight, Dana hurriedly said, "You can leave this matter to me. I promise to find the most detailed clues in the shortest possible time."

   "I can do it too." Bunier followed.

"This matter is not urgent. It is not easy for them to infiltrate the Corps. We should have plenty of time to wait for them to sink deeper. Maybe we can take advantage of the situation and uproot the entire Equality Society. Clean it up." Seeing that the two noble-born subordinates couldn't bear to fight for the credit, Joseph acted extraordinarily calmly, "Don't say anything about this, don't tell anyone except the few of us People, if the leak causes them to evacuate early, you should know what the result will be."

"clear."

"clear."

"What you have to do now is to continue to monitor them without being noticed, and get more important information, such as the specific content of their conversation and the list of people involved in the conversation." Joseph arranged the work of the two, "The importance of this matter is immeasurable. As long as we can successfully use this to destroy the Equality Society, you will all get the rewards you deserve."

"clear!"

"clear!"

  Daina and Bunier had fiery eyes.

  They know how much the government, President François, takes the threat of Equal Society seriously.

  If they can play an important role in the action of destroying the Equality Society, then the rewards for advancing to three ranks in the military rank are not heavy.

   "Adel, do you have any ideas?" Joseph looked at Adel.

  Adel understood.

   Dana and Bunier thought that Joseph was asking him about equality penetration, and Adel knew that Joseph was asking himself how to deal with these two people.

   "Create opportunities, lure them out, and get rid of them decisively." Adel said.

   "That's the only way to go." Joseph didn't object this time, "You go back first, remember not to tell anyone, and don't behave abnormally."

   "Don't worry, we will still do normal work during the day, and look for opportunities to investigate the situation at night." Bunier switched back to "us" at the end to ease the conflict with his superior, Captain Dana.

   "Well, I will leave this matter to you." Joseph said.

  After the two went out, Adel got up to confirm that there was no one outside the door: "It's really a crow's mouth. They found out as soon as they finished speaking."

   "It's not a surprise to find out at this time, but fortunately, it's someone under me." Joseph still looked calm.

  Adel showed a rare smile: "This time I said I was going to kill them, why didn't you stop it?"

"This matter is different from Colonel Benson and Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey. Apart from getting rid of them, is there any other way to ensure that the propaganda will not be leaked? Moreover, their death will not cause Franco Wa's attention, this is our enemy, so go to hell." Joseph knew what unbearable things these noble officers who often boasted about how noble they were had done, and decisively getting rid of them was the best choice.

   "Then you arrange for them to go out, and I will notify the comrades in the Equality Association to solve the trouble."

   "Are you going back today, right?"

   "Well, I have to go back and have a chat with them." Adel stood in front of the door, as if going out at any time.

   "I will arrange for them to be responsible for the night patrol on Bruce Street in the South District tomorrow night. Is there enough time?"

  Adel confidently said: "The time is enough for the Equality Association, but I don't know if it is enough for you to rearrange people to take over their positions."

   "Oh." Joseph smiled.

   "Let's go, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

  Leaving the office and walking outside, Adel saw Captain Dana and Lieutenant Bunier who hadn't gone far.

   "Mr. Adel." The two greeted Adel who came out.

   "Remember what General Joseph said, I'll go out for a while." Adel kept walking, and after admonishing, he walked out of the camp.

Bunier looked at the back of Adel's departure: "I know this man. During his tenure as the warden of Daimans Prison, there was never a prison escape incident in Daimans Prison. Unfortunately, after Verak of the Equality Council was imprisoned Well, the myth that Daimans Prison was impenetrable was broken, and he was dismissed. It is estimated that he hated the Equality Society, and Joseph took a fancy to him because he had dealt with the Equality Society, so he recruited him."

  Daina sneered at Bunier's way of changing the subject: "Is his background important? The only important thing now is to find out the clues of the Equality Society in the camp."

   "Yes, I will do my best to assist you." Bunier was able to bend and stretch, and after showing himself well in front of Joseph, he expressed his loyalty to Dana.

   "Finding clues cannot be done by one person, do you understand?" Dana tapped Bunier.

   "I understand, so I will do my best to assist you. Only you have the ability to seize the opportunity." Bunier was full of contempt for Dana, who was not quick-witted and would only compete with himself for credit.

  He is ashamed to be with such nobles.

   "When the clues are found, you will be credited. In the future, you must learn to keep silent in front of the chief." Dana walked towards one side, "Being too conspicuous is not a good thing."

   Despicable aristocrats.

  Burnier cursed secretly.

  Equality Association Main Station, Meeting Room

  Boyin and the others made an appointment to meet this evening when Adel went to help Joseph in the Corps, so they didn't go to rest after the official business was over, and they waited patiently in the conference room for Adel to return.

  Adel didn't keep them waiting.

   At 11:30 in the evening, I returned to the terminus.

   "I'm back." Boyne, Morais, Verac, Keating, Piaf, Nord, Charles and others stood up to welcome Adel who entered the meeting room.

   "Yes." Adel sat down in the seat specially reserved for him, "Let's not exchange pleasantries for now, let me just report the situation over there."

   "Okay." Boyin beckoned the others to sit down and listen to Adel's speech.

Adel said: "There are two main issues, both of which are related to the Propaganda Department. Comrade Piaf is just right here. I will talk about the first one first. Joseph and I discussed the matter of deepening the control of independent editors. At present, there is no better He suggested that the Propaganda Department should focus on promoting to small groups of fellow soldiers in the corps in the future, so that the efficiency will be faster.”

   "Yes." Piaf nodded.

   "Stop them with a bottom-up approach?" Boin immediately understood Joseph's thoughts.

"Yes, this is the safest method at present. I personally hope that it can be both bottom-up and top-down. The two-way encirclement is the fastest and most secure way. It's just how to solve the other two corps It’s a long trouble, and further discussion is needed.” Adel mentioned his own thoughts by the way, “Do you have any good ideas in this regard during this period of time?”

   "Not yet, but important adjustments have been made in the general direction of subsequent development, and I also want to take advantage of the meeting today to talk to you." Boyne said.

   "What adjustment?"

"Originally we planned to send people into the government after the independent mixed division defected, gradually control Lezein, and gradually replace and squeeze them out, so as to realize the control of Blaise. But this direction has no solution. A huge obstacle to the government is that it is difficult to break into the government as a civilian, and we have very few people who can instigate rebellion. It can be said that the government is a ship firmly controlled by the powerful. You will not agree to hand over the ship to us as an 'alien'." Boyin described the situation with a ship.

  Adel has worked with Lecter, the son of the Minister of Justice, and knows what is similar and what is "heterogeneous" for this group of nobles. If the Equality Association wants to squeeze in, it will inevitably encounter strong resistance: "So..."

   “So we decided not to occupy it, but to overthrow it and rebuild it.”

   "This... is really a crazy idea..." Even in the Equality Association, Adel felt dazed when he heard such words.

   Slowly squeezing in is the best way for the current Equality Association to meet their abilities.

  To overthrow and rebuild means to defeat the government head-on, not only to have a strong military force, but also to have excellent leadership and governance capabilities.

   Both of these aspects are equal and will be severely lacking.

   To compare it, it’s like a child wants to live instead of an adult, and the adult’s world is far beyond his immature life rules.

   "We have no choice. No matter how difficult this road is, we have to go on." Boyin also wanted to take an easier road, but unfortunately he didn't.

  Since the founding of the Equality Association, the world has not left them an easy way to go, not even a way. It is their own efforts to break down one mountain after another that weighs on people's hearts, and forcibly opened up a way.

"But I feel strangely that we can do it." Adel has no confidence, but thinks so paranoidly, "Maybe everyone has created too many impossible things, so I think it's no big deal .”

no big deal.

  Adel's words made everyone laugh.

"I'll go on to the second thing. The noble officers in the cavalry regiment's camp have already noticed something strange, and they immediately reported to Joseph about the infiltration of the Equality Society for publicity." After several people laughed, Adel said, Speaking of the second piece of bad news, "Fortunately, the matter has not been known to more people. Joseph has calmed them down and will arrange for them to come out for activities tomorrow night. We need to come forward and get rid of these people."

   "As long as Joseph arranges an opportunity, we can shoot at any time." Morais has long been prepared for a new round of assassination.
