Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 341 Absorption and Merger

   "You want to take the opportunity to find clues when they make another move?" Andre asked.

"No. It's very passive, and it's a waste of time. At the same time, they may not show their flaws in the next operation, so waiting can only be used as the last option." Verak doesn't like to be passive, and stands like a live target for anyone to attack , "I will still narrow down the scope early and try to find the instigator before new troubles arise."

   Benedict raised his hand: "I have a question. If we find this factory, how should we deal with it? Should we have a good talk with the other party, or use other means to solve them?"

"You have to confirm the identity of the other party before you can formulate specific countermeasures, but the general direction is win-win, and only win-win can promote change in the fastest and most comprehensive way." Winston gradually understood after Verac said. Other factories are hostile.

  If the other party really made the move because of these things, although the means are a bit sloppy, they are still reasonable in the current environment.

   When the time comes, we will find the other party and talk about everything on the bright side. Considering that one party’s interests have been damaged, and the other party has also suffered losses, everyone will be evened out, and the past will be written off. It is perfect to strengthen cooperation in the future.

   "Then it's up to you to take precautions. Let me investigate." Verak said.

"Just you? The investigation will definitely require frequent outings. If the government is after us, aren't you throwing yourself into the trap? Your analysis just now has some truth, but there is also a certain chance that it is because you have been disguised recently. The government did not notice the abnormality for a while." Winston reminded Verack not to be so hasty in affirming that the government was not involved.

"I know, I will entrust a few comrades from the branch station to walk around on my behalf." Verak had a preliminary idea in his mind, and he wanted to start the investigation immediately, "You should prepare well for the precautions, I will go back to my office to arrange went."

   "So fast?" Benedict subconsciously surprised, and then quickly realized that such a crisis is of course a race against time, "We will do it as soon as possible."

   "Well, let's go." Verak went out.

Andre looked at the closed door, and there was no worry on his face: "Comrade Verak is in charge of the investigation, and the real culprit should surface within two days. Let's not waste time, discuss if the government What should people do if they are staring at this place?"

  Laizein, Equality Association Main Station, Boyne Office

   In the past week, Boin's schedule has been adjusted under the strong request of Morais.

  The Equality Association is still in a dormant state, and most of its activities will be carried out at night under the cover of night and patrols, so most of the work will be piled up in the middle of the night, and many people cannot avoid going to bed late.

  Morais took the next step and asked Boyne to get up late and work after 9 am, so that the most basic sleep can be guaranteed.

At first Boin did not agree, but later he found that his comrades had noticed his physical condition, and all of them strictly followed Morais' orders. Even if he took the initiative to find out the situation, they would not say a word, and finally had to compromise , accepted the arrangement of Morais, and started working at nine o'clock in the morning.

   "How about the two Bash revolutionaries?" Boyin, who was in good spirits, stepped on the nine o'clock clock and came to the office.

  Morais had nothing to do with his behavior that he didn't want to waste any time: "It's all arranged, and there are special people watching all day."

   "Where is the branch station?"

   "The sub-station is still investigating, and it may take a day or two to verify the identities of these two people." Morais replied.

After asking last night, Boyin did not fully trust Vikenji and August. As the president of the Equality Society, he is responsible for the safety of all comrades in the Equality Society. Comrades from Shifen Station went to Winterhold to check the situation.

   "If they are really all the way, do we need to provide support?" Morais asked Boyne as he sat back at his desk.

"Of course, the reason why we promote vigorously and hope that the whole world can hear our voice is to not only wake up the people, but also draw like-minded people closer to us. Only when we gather together as one force, can we completely change This world." Boin smiled and glanced at Morais, "What's going on, it's not like you asked this question."

"I think our side will be busy with big things soon, and we may not be able to fully support them. Moreover, their organization is not mature enough. If Bash does not have our sub-station, then people, money, and experience can support them as much as they can. Just support, but Bash has our people, so instead of giving them support, it is better to directly give us a sub-station." Morais slowly expressed his thoughts.

  Boin saw through Morais's true attitude at a glance: "What you want to say is actually the second half of the sentence. Teaching them by hand, giving money and weapons to others, is far less cost-effective than directly tilting resources to the Bash sub-station."

   "...Yes, it's better to let them join our sub-station, or it will always feel a little...unexplainable..." Morais was uncomfortable, sitting and writhing.

   "You still treat them as outsiders."

"It's a little bit. I don't think it's justified to let my own people not give them the human, material and financial resources we have earned so hard. However, I also know and am willing to help all revolutionary comrades, but I will do it if Bash does not have our sub-station." I have no opinion on this matter..." Morais expressed his opinion bluntly.

   "Hmm..." Boyin looked a little serious.

   This is indeed a problem.

  The background of my main station is indeed profound, but there are still so many sub-stations that are still struggling to develop. At this time, a batch of resources that can change the situation floated over their heads and were given to non-guild organizations. Everyone will inevitably think too much.

  Morais' thoughts represent the voice of a large part of the people.

"It seems that we must be very careful about supporting. It is necessary to help the other party in a real way, expand the revolutionary force, and let everyone unite. It is also necessary to make the comrades in the meeting not harbor grudges and be willing to allocate this batch of resources." Boyin rested his chin on one hand and began to think.

"In my opinion, it is the best way to incorporate them into the Bash substation. Our Bash substation was not located in Winterhold at the beginning, but now by merging into Winterhold for development, it can just support us in the follow-up big operation .” Morais didn’t just ask questions blindly, he had already thought of a good solution before he came.

  Welland and Bash are about to go to war. Their sub-station has entered the development of Winterhold at this juncture, and they have expanded their strength by 2,000 people. That would be great.

  At that time, the Western Terminus will vigorously develop, take the opportunity to control Lezein, and then control Bresci, and the Eastern Branch will have influence in the world's largest and most populous country under the cover of a war situation that affects the world.

  The next step of the Equality Association will be more stable.

   "This method is very good." Boyne had to admit that Morais's proposal was very valuable.

   "But why does it sound to me that you are not willing to do this?" Morais knew Boyin very well, and it was clear from Boyin's few words that he was actually not very interested in this.

"Absorption is not such a casual thing. The general direction is the same, but what should we do if there are differences in depth cognition? Is it possible to reproduce the infighting with Chloe?" Boyin expressed his concerns, "Sometimes we can't If you force the merger, it may become a drag on both sides—I didn't say that you can't merge with this group, what I mean is that if it doesn't work, we will never force it."

   "If there is a disagreement on some details, then we will definitely not force it. I even think that it is not the same way, and there is no need to talk about cooperation and support." Morais accepted Boyne's idea.

   "You can't say that. It's very difficult to find all the right people to work with from beginning to end. Sometimes even if there is only one thing in common, we have to contact and cooperate. Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

   Morais' eyes were full of worry: "I understand what you mean, I will go to talk to them, if possible, talk about absorbing things, if not, give some support."

   "Cough, cough, cough... Anyway, you can't force it. What you get by force will only become a curse..." Boyin coughed violently, his face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   "Drink water, medicine." Morais took the medicine to Boyne, and quickly poured him a glass of water.

   "...Huh...huh...huh..." After drinking the medicine and panting violently for a few minutes, Boyin's state stabilized and calmed down again, "I almost coughed to death..."

   "I told you to take a good rest without rest, and told you to take medicine and you didn't take medicine, and you still expect your body to get better on its own for no reason?" Thinking of Boyin's lack of medicine yesterday, Morais blamed him.

   "It's not bad... It's all right, don't bother me here, go get busy." Boyin didn't want to spend all his thoughts on talking about his illness.

   Morais knew that Boyne was also afraid, and mentioning this matter would make him feel anxious.

   "Consciously take all the medicine, and I won't stare at you." Morais got up and left Boyne's office.

   "Huh..." When he was alone in the room, Boyin looked a little depressed. He stared blankly at the medicine on the table, and mechanically stretched out his hand to grab a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

  Equality Association Main Station, male apartment building, in a certain double room

   "Equality will be amazing..." August came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair. "I thought their lives would be dozens of times more tragic than ours, but I didn't expect it to be so peaceful."

"They fought so hard to get this." Vikenji sat in the living room and flipped through the Bash editions of "The Internationale" and "Women's Declaration" given to them by comrades from the Equality Society. "And there is no tranquility, everything is We are preparing for the next bigger struggle."

"What kind of support do you think they can provide us? Hundreds of thousands of combat-experienced comrades? Or batches of weapons? Or a lot of money?" August sat across from Vikenji curiously guessed.

  Vicken Ji read the Internationale with gusto: "It's normal for everything."

   "They...wouldn't give nothing, would they?" August suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

"No, they are not that kind of people." Vikenji immediately settled down after seeing Boyin once, "Don't guess these things anymore. No matter how many guesses you make, it still depends on how people deploy them. Yes. Take time to read this book sent by others, it’s really wonderful.”

   "You just read it out and I'll listen to it."

"Who created the human world? It's us working people. Everything belongs to the working people, how can parasites be accommodated! Those poisonous snakes and beasts are the most hateful, eating up our flesh and blood. Once they are wiped out, the bright red sun will shine everywhere. The whole world!" Vikenji read a part that he just saw, and when he read it, his heart surged with him, "It's so powerful."

  August was still not completely attracted by these things after listening to them: "It's past nine o'clock, are we staying here all the time? None of them came to see us and talk to us about the specific matters of support."

"They must have their own arrangements. Some resource allocation is estimated to take time. In addition, I feel that they are not so easy to trust us. They are probably still checking through various channels. In short, you don't have to think so much. If there is an equal society in this world, you can't do it. If you trust, then there is nothing trustworthy anymore. We will stay here to eat, drink and study in peace, and when they finish everything over there, they will definitely come to see us as soon as possible." Vikenji thought very happily, Only now can I read the book with peace of mind.

   "It makes sense. If you can't even trust the Equal Council, Winterhold will be hopeless, and we might as well die." August no longer kept thinking about this issue.

  Wickenji pushed the "Women's Manifesto" to August: "Look at this book, I just glanced at it, it's about women."

   "What about women?" August picked it up.

   "Women are equal, and it looks very interesting. I will watch it after I finish this."

   "Women are equal..." August opened the book.

   "Boom boom boom."

   "Someone is here." August closed the book before he finished reading the first line of the first page, and hurried to open the door.

  Vickenji also put down the "Internationale" and went to greet the visitor.

   "Good morning." Morais and Clark outside the door greeted them in Bash.

   "Good morning, good morning, please come in." August greeted Morais and Clark.

  After yesterday's communication, he already knew that Morais was the second in command of the Equality Society. Such a high-ranking big shot came here today, and most likely it is to talk about support.

   After saying a lame greeting in Baba, Morais still used Bresci: "Are you still used to living here?"

  Clark translates as it is.

   "I'm very used to it, it's very good here, thank you." Vikenji thanked.

   "The support matters are related to the fate of so many people in Winterhold. I know you must be very anxious, so come here and talk to you first." Morais said politely and got straight to the point, "Sit down, sit down and talk."

   "To tell you the truth, it is true. If the support arrives earlier, maybe we can save one of our companions from dying." Seeing what Morais said, Vikenji also admitted that he hoped that the support could be implemented earlier.
