Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 323 Not so bad

"I suggest that Comrade Verak come back first. His identity is too special. If he stays in the fake organization for a long time, there will inevitably be some risks. In case his identity is discovered when the fake gang is exposed, when the time comes It will inevitably make the public think that this matter is indeed related to us, and everything will be even more unclear." Old Meren thought that the first thing to do was to get Verak back, and they sent people to spy on the periphery.

  "His rash departure may arouse the suspicion and vigilance of those people, and we now lack evidence and more information. With Verak working as an undercover agent in a fake organization, the overall benefits outweigh the risks." Keating held the opposite opinion.

   "Then do you have any good countermeasures?" Benedict knew Keating's background, seeing that Verac put all his hopes of solving the problem on Keating, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

   Keating was thinking: "First report this matter to President Boyne, and find out as soon as possible whether there are people in other regions who pretend to be cheating, and whether these people are connected with the government."

Nord, who was also woken up by Benedict from his sleep and came to the meeting together, said: "That guy Francois can do everything, I think the government must be carrying out the same shameful work in many places, and It was his main plan."

"If it's just a personal thing, just deal with it according to the original plan. If it's the latter, then in the face of such a big crisis, I don't think no matter how we clarify it, we won't be able to convince everyone, so we can only guide the public to discover it by themselves. The truth." Keating gave the best solution he could think of.

   "Guiding the people?" Several other people who were in the meeting looked at each other in blank dismay.

  How to guide the people?

"You have ignored the second half of the sentence. The point is to guide the people to discover the truth by themselves. Rather than listening to others, it is better to see it with your own eyes, isn't it? So we don't need to reveal too much about this matter. Now it is meaningless for anyone to say too much It will only become an interference to the self-judgment of the people. We only need to secretly guide the people to discover the anomaly, and then guide them to search for the truth." Keating said.

  Keating hopes to break the government's conspiracy through the people's own recognition of the facts.

   "Makes sense."

   "Comrade Keating is right. Nothing we say at this time is enough to completely clear the suspicion. The best way is to let them investigate by themselves. I believe they will see the true face of the government."

   "Exactly!"

   Several people unanimously agreed with Keating's idea.

Careful Murphy said: "I also agree with Mr. Keating's idea, and I have another doubtful point to say. I remember when Verac came here at night, he said that there was a counterfeit organization in Kip City at least a month ago." Yes. And in the letter Benedict just brought, it was mentioned that the counterfeit organization earned 3,400 gold grams today, that is, more than 300 people were deceived in one day. So simple calculation, it is estimated that during this period of time in Kip City There are 10,000 people who have been cheated. I think that after such a long time, some of the 10,000 people must have discovered the anomaly, but it is strange why there is no movement among the public, and everyone is still rushing to give it to the fakes. What about sending money?"

   "...You're right, how come so many people didn't realize it." Keating realized that there might be a problem in this regard. After a month passed, there would always be people who were deceived and noticed something was wrong.

"I have always been puzzled by this. Our sub-station often visits the streets and conducts in-depth contacts and exchanges with the public. If there was a fake organization a month ago, and it has deceived tens of thousands of people during this period, it is impossible for us not to I know." Benedict hurriedly followed.

  He felt a little wronged in the morning.

The comrades at the substation obviously worked very hard, but out of nowhere, a counterfeit gang appeared that they had never discovered. The workers also kept saying that this gang was active in Kip City a month ago, making Chang often proud of the substation They lost face in front of cadres like Veraker and Keating.

   But thinking about it now, this matter is indeed weird, and it is impossible for them not to know about it. Even if they didn't know, wouldn't there be so many sub-stations of the Equality Association in other places not aware of it?

  Is it possible that the government’s means of contacting the people are deeper than that of the Equality Association? So that hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have been deceived, and the Equality Society, which has been mingling with the people, has been slow to realize?

   "Who said that this group of people has been on the scene for a month?" Keating asked Benedict who stayed with Verac during the day.

"It's a worker in our factory." Benedict elaborated on what happened in the cafeteria at noon. "At that time, several of us were having lunch in the cafeteria. Comrade Verac suddenly heard the workers at the next table discussing whether to join the Equality Association. He also said that he would have to pay an application fee, so he asked them about the situation. One of the workers said that the Equality Association went to the light industrial zone to recruit people today, and they only need to pay ten gold grams of membership fee to become a member of the Equality Association One member. Comrade Verak also specifically confirmed the time with them, and the worker himself said that he had heard about the recruitment of equals a month ago."

"The worker's intentions may be good, but the content may not be correct enough." Keating had the bottom line in his mind, "He said it himself, but he heard it. How can he treat what he heard as a real fact? And time It is also easy to be blurred. It is just one thing that has been heard. The specific time and content of the heard will inevitably become blurred with time. It is entirely possible to link it with something later and form a wrong memory. In short, the remarks of this one worker alone cannot be used as a basis, we need to conduct multiple investigations on this matter and reconfirm the time."

   "Is timing important?" Nord asked.

Keating nodded: "Of course it's important. Time is an important basis for us to estimate the number of victims. If it is true that the worker's memory went wrong and he gave us wrong information, and the counterfeit organization's actual active time is much shorter than a month, then the situation will be worse." Correspondingly not that bad."

   "The shorter the time, the fewer victims and areas where this plan will be implemented, and the lower the negative impact on our equality society." Old Melen sincerely hoped that the worker had misremembered the time.

   A mistake in their favor is far better than a fact that is not in their favor.

   "I'm going to call Comrade Winston and Comrade Andre at the weaving factory to confirm!" Benedict couldn't wait to call.

  This matter is very important to him. It is not only to reduce the impact of this matter on the Equality Association, but also to prove that the Kip City branch is not that bad, so it is not possible to not notice the fake organization for a month.

   "I'm also going to report the situation to Chairman Boyne." Old Melen got up, but sat down quickly, "Forget it, we will talk about it when we have a conclusion here."

   "It's almost two o'clock in the morning, Chairman Boyne should take a rest." Comrade Catherine, who was in charge of personnel management at the sub-station and now mainly supports Keating's team, looked at the time and said.

"No." Nord smiled at Catherine, "President Boyne is always the one who sleeps the latest and wakes up the earliest. In my eyes, he doesn't seem to be able to rest. As long as I go to him , he's always there."

   "I went to him at four o'clock in the morning and he was always there." Murphy said.

  Catherine is from Kip City. She has been working here since she joined the Equality Association. She hasn't had much contact with the president yet: "Will this be tiring?"

   "No, he is Boyin." In Nord's mind, Boyin will always be calm and calm, and he will always arrange everything calmly, and he will never fall down.

"In recent months, as the work in the Equality Association has become more and more busy, his health has indeed deteriorated visible to the naked eye." Keating has noticed Boyin's physical condition during this period, and he has the impression that Boyne's previous figure Capable, now a lot thinner, he doesn't even eat much, "It's just that he is more stubborn than Veraker, and no one can persuade him not to be so tired."

   "All we can do is build a new world as soon as possible. Only in this way can he have a good rest and sleep late, haha..." Nord laughed.

   Keating didn’t think: “After the arrival of the new world, there will still be many problems waiting for us to solve, and Boin will only be busier by then.”

   "That's up to you. The club school will train more talents, so it can lighten the burden for the president and the others." Catherine said.

   "Hmm." Keating thought it was the only way.

After a while, Benedict ran back excitedly: "Two things! First, Comrade Winston and Comrade Andre went to the worker for confirmation, and the worker suddenly couldn't be sure of the exact time Well, it may be three to five days, or it may be a week, anyway, he doesn't know too well!"

"Sure enough, he only heard it mentioned by others, and what others mentioned was not necessarily this matter. He made random associations and formed wrong memories in his subconscious." Keating has seen such situations often, so he never Do not trust words such as 'heard', "Go and investigate as soon as possible, and determine the time as much as possible."

"Comrade Andre has already started to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be an exact time soon!" Benedict said with a smile on his face, "The second thing is that the output of the first day of Nak Weaving Factory came out. , which is five times the original output! Our first goal has been achieved directly! Balance of payments has been achieved! As long as we can maintain it and improve and adjust the deficiencies, we are very hopeful to achieve the second goal!"

   "Balanced on the first day?! After that, there is still a lot of potential for development, and making money should not be a problem!" Nord and others were surprised.

Keating was not surprised at all. A person like Veraker who often performed miracles collided with a once-in-a-century genius like Winston. It was hard for them to do anything: "There are such a group of outstanding young people. It is normal for people to work hard day and night to make such achievements.”

   "They said they had just finished reporting with President Boyne and were about to call us, so I called them first." Benedict sat down and took a deep breath. He personally participated in the reform and construction of the Nak Weaving Factory. Today's success is due to his hard work, and he actually had a big question mark in his heart about whether the weaving factory can succeed. Now it is really half successful. He felt like he was in a dream, "I really didn't expect that we would be successful, or so smooth."

"Such success is based on the years of research that Winston has done. The Equality Council has worked hard to develop to the present, and has the ability to provide experiments. Therefore, it is not done in a week, but by success. The accumulation and sacrifice of tens of thousands of people over the years has made everything so easy.” What Keating saw was the efforts of countless people who made today, rather than a few of them changing the world in a week.

   "You're right!" Benedict said.

  The worker’s statement of “I heard they were recruiting a month ago” is doubtful. The news of the counterfeit gangs probably only started to appear in the past few days, which greatly relieved their pressure.

  Nak Weaving Factory's first day victory also boosted their morale.

   Now when I look at the counterfeit gangs planned and supported by the government, they are full of fighting spirit and are no longer as depressed as they were a few minutes ago.

   "Comrade Melen, when do you think the sub-station will notice if there is a counterfeit gang in Kip City?" Keating asked.

   "Impossible to exceed three days." Old Melen actually thought that one day was enough, and reported for three days because he was afraid that something might go wrong.

"Then let's study the situation in three days." Keating analyzed and planned from the beginning, "Three days, the government should not be enough to spread this plan to many places, and it is estimated that it has only just begun. It is very difficult to deceive a considerable number of people. This is very beneficial to us. As long as we can guide the people to discover the truth and spread the news in a very short period of time, the government’s plan can only be forced to stop, even if we do not guide enough If it goes well, a few days is not enough to cause a huge negative impact, as long as the disturbance becomes serious and the public raises their vigilance, it will be tantamount to blocking a way for the government to fight back against us."

"I am more optimistic. I think it is possible that Kip City is currently the only one, or only a few places where counterfeit gangs are arranged." Nord thought in a better direction, "Because Kip City is far away from Laize. Because recently, apart from us, the president has not received news of counterfeit gangs from sub-stations in other places. Francois may not be sure, but he wants to test the waters with Kip City first, and if it goes well, then Promote it to more places, and make adjustments if it doesn’t go well.”

Keating affirmed some of Nord's ideas: "This matter also has certain risks for the government. If it is not done well and it is caught, it will cause a huge negative impact on themselves, and let equality It will be more supported by the people. Nord said that François first tested the water in the city of Kip, which is the closest to Lezein, to ensure that the implementation is foolproof, which is not unreasonable."

Old Melen said "hmm": "Now we have a basic conclusion, I think we can report to the president, and then see if there are any new investigation results from the president, if the other sub-stations do not find fake If there are traces of the gang, or the counterfeit gang has just started to be active, then things will be much easier."
