Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 359 Why Are You Tired?

  June 3rd, morning

  In a small town near Kip

  Villac joined Keating, Nord, Murphy, and Catherine, and came here to check on the construction work of the club school.

  The construction scale and construction speed of the clubhouse were larger and faster than he expected. Although it was less than a month before Keating officially started construction at the location selected by Keating, the outline was already very clear, and it would be officially completed in another month.

"There's nothing wrong with you, right?" Verak was so distracted by the Nak Weaving Factory during this period that he didn't have much time to care about this side. It's also because he couldn't think of how to optimize the factory's system these days. Decided to come here to relax and clear my mind.

"There's nothing going on here, it's just to fake a false appearance under the eyes of the government, so that they don't suspect that what we built is related to the Equality Society. It is estimated that it will be a little dangerous to officially start operation after the construction is completed. Hundreds of thousands of Equality The comrades in the meeting are not so easy to hide." Keating said.

   "Then do you have any countermeasures?"

   "Countermeasures? One month later, Boyin and the others will probably have controlled Lazein, and Kip City will not have to be so afraid." Keating laughed.

  Verak patted his forehead: "Also..."

   "It can be seen that your mind has become stiff, which must be the reason for stacking too many things." Nord commented on Verak's state, "Relax and relax, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

   "Yes." Murphy agreed.

"I came here to relax, and I was really suffocated to death in the factory. I was a little bit against going to Bash at first, but now I think about it, as long as I can work freely outside, it's no big deal to go to Bash .” Verak said and lit a cigarette naturally.

   "I think you haven't smoked in almost a year, right?" Nord said in surprise.

   "Huh..." Verak nodded after taking a puff of smoke, "I haven't touched it since I left Zward, and I just started smoking again recently when I needed to refresh myself during night studies and meetings."

"And you have long gray hair..." After Nord was surprised, he worried about Verac, who was under great work pressure, "there are so many people in the meeting, there are also Winston, Andre, Benedict and others in the weaving factory. Are you here, don’t keep doing everything yourself.”

  Verak touched his hair subconsciously: "Where is the white hair, why don't I know?"

   "Back." Nord was afraid that Verak would not believe him, so he pulled out a few for him to see.

   "I have gray hair..." Verak felt amused when he saw this.

   "What's so funny?" Nord was puzzled.

   "This is proof of my hard work." Verac joked, spreading his hands to let the breeze blow away the white hair.

   Keating had noticed Veraker's fatigue a long time ago, but he didn't say it out loud: "Did Morais call you last night?"

"Well, we fought, mainly to ask Winston and me to understand the situation of Pruman. They suspected that Bash had formed an alliance with Pluman, so Bash had the confidence to declare war with Welland and Bressy. .” As soon as we talked about business, Verak immediately returned to seriousness.

   "Remember what I told you before?" Keating asked.

   "Are you predicting a few countries with great hope of rising?" Verak understood.

   "That's right, I always thought that Pruman was hiding his strength and biding his time. Now, based on the information obtained by Morais and the others, it is true." Keating said.

  Verak narrowed his eyes, fearful of Pruman, who was keeping a low profile and unable to see the whole picture: "What do you think? If Pruman participates in this war, how will it affect the situation?"

   Keating looked at the congregational school under construction: "If you want to know this, you must first understand why the current war broke out?"

  Nord, who heard the content of the conversation, quickly replied: "It is Wellland and Bash who have a conflict of interest in Nile."

   "Deeper." Keating was satisfied that Nord didn't say it was because Prince Albert was assassinated.

   "It is the new powers that are challenging the international order built by Welland, trying to replace Welland and seize their interests."

   Several people turned their heads to look at Catherine who spoke.

  Catherine, with her ponytail, looked directly at Keating, waiting for his response to whether she was right.

"Yes." Keating agreed, "To put it bluntly, this war is a challenge to Welland by those rising countries. Nero is not the root cause. Even if there is no Nero, they will break out because of other colonies Conflict, through force to determine who is entitled to share the benefits."

   "So, as the two countries with the most rapid development momentum at present, Bash has withstood the positive pressure, and Pluman will not sit idly by." Verak concluded.

   "Why didn't Pluman just sit back and watch?" Keating asked.

   Only this time he was not asking Veraker, but Nord and Murphy.

  Verak has been able to clearly understand logic after his training, and now he wants to guide Nord and Murphy to be good at thinking.

"They all want to break the international order dominated by Welland, but it is difficult for any one of them to do it alone. Therefore, after Bash declares war, it is also the best time for Pruman. They can only help Bash, Let's defeat Welland together," Murphy said calmly.

   "Yes." Keating agreed with a step-by-step smile.

"I think so too, but I have a new question. As a country with comprehensive national strength second only to Welland, does it mean that Francois doesn't want to pull Welland off? He Why did you choose to form an alliance with Welland? If Welland wins this war, what good can Brexi do?" Nord couldn't figure it out.

   "Hmm..." Verak thought about how to explain it to Nord.

"Bressi officially sent a mission to Shennai yesterday. Why do you think Francois established diplomatic relations with Shennai next to Nile and Bash at this juncture?" Keating gave part of the information and asked Nuo German independent thinking.

  Nord's mind was spinning quickly: "In addition to Bracey wanting to fight Bash with the Wellland coalition forces, on the other hand, he also wants to interfere in the affairs there?"

"Yes, Bresci, as you said, will not help Wellland to grow further in vain, but Francois directly squeezed into Nile's cake and the relationship with Welland will be very tense, so retreat Controlling Shennai one step at a time, using Shennai to divide up the benefits, and check and balance Wellland and Bash is the best choice." Keating replied.

   "It turns out that this is the case. The things here are really complicated. Some people are not dealing with each other on the open face and form alliances secretly, and some are still plotting against each other on the open face and secretly..." Nord couldn't help feeling the changeable relationship between countries.

"The real situation will be much more complicated than the results we have guessed here based on a small amount of evidence, but what we have to do is to constantly sort out, find the essence of the problem, and then find room for us to play." Keating While chatting, I taught a few people a lesson.

   "It has benefited a lot, and I will pay more attention to the international situation in the future." Nord became interested in these things.

   Keating saw that several people looked thoughtful, and took Verak closer to visit: "Nord, Murphy, Catherine, you go to work. Verak, come with me to have a look over there."

  Verak followed halfway, and when there were only two people left, he finally said another purpose of coming here today: "Teacher, I want to go back to Laizein."

   "It's time to go back."

   Keating did not ask Veraker why.

Fearing that Keating didn't know what he was thinking, Verac said in detail: "The optimization of the system at the Nak Weaving Factory has encountered a bottleneck, and there is no possibility of breakthrough for the time being, and the cooperation with other weaving factories is due to my face. I'm too sensitive to come forward to participate, I think my mission here has been completed, since I'll just sit around if I stay any longer, I might as well go back sooner."

"I know you came here today mainly to see if there is any trouble in the club school. If there is no trouble in the club school, it basically means nothing for you to stay in Kip City." Keating was too aware of Verak's every move. Mixed with some kind of thinking, "Indeed, the club school is advancing steadily, and the troubles at the Nak Weaving Factory have also been resolved, and Laizein is about to carry out the biggest operation in history. It's good to go back and help."

   "You also have the same idea?" Verak vaguely felt that Keating also had the intention to go back.

   "Boin and Morais definitely don't want me to be an overseer here for two months." Keating laughed at himself, "I've been waiting for you to go back together after dealing with the affairs of the Nak Weaving Factory."

  Verak couldn't laugh or cry: "Why didn't you say it earlier, you should bring it up earlier, it is estimated that Clark, Vikenji, and August don't have to come over."

"If I brought it up a week ago, would you be willing to go back?" Keating shook his head slightly, "We can only wait for you to bring it up, because only if you say it first, it means that you have really contributed all your strength here. , I will not be able to provide any valuable help if I keep it."

"That's right. I've been holding back my energy for the past few days, trying to make the system better, but I didn't realize the reality until today. I realized that the bottleneck of the system is beyond my ability to break through. We still have to leave this kind of thing to Wen Si Dayton, Andre and other professionals to do it. Anyway, I have solved the troubles of the Nak Weaving Factory, and I have a relatively safe and free environment for them to show their talents.” Verac worked hard, but he knew himself After it was really not the material, he chose to continue working hard in another direction.

   "You have your strengths."

"Teacher, I'm not discouraged. I know it's just that the next job is not suitable for me. I should find something suitable for me." Verak thought very openly, and didn't question himself because he didn't make any more achievements , "When shall we go back?"

Keating saw Verak's progress over the past year. Although Verak himself always felt that he was just an ordinary person, in his heart, the hope contained in this young man became bigger and bigger: "Later Go to my office and call Boyne, we can leave today after they agree."

"it is good."

  The two changed directions and walked towards Keating's office.

   "Do you know the situation of Boyin?"

   "How about Boyne? What happened to him?" Verak asked.

   "His current physical condition is not very good." Keating said very euphemistically.

"He... I know he had a bad cough before, but he sounded much better after calling. What? Did something happen to him?" Verak had a bad feeling, and Keating didn't need to be special to him for ordinary trivial matters. mention.

   Keating walked a few steps and said again: "His illness has not improved, and he vomited blood a while ago."

   "What?! Why hasn't anyone told me about this?!" Verak raised his voice and stopped immediately.

"Nord, Murphy, they don't know yet, keep your voice down." Keating reminded Veraker to control his emotions, "They didn't actually tell me about this, but I felt more and more wrong and called Morais. He just revealed the truth."

   "What's Boyin's situation now? Why didn't he tell us?" Verak calmed down and asked in a low voice.

"The situation...is not good. Boyin was afraid that we would worry about him and distract us from work, so Morais and the others kept it a secret." Keating continued to walk towards the office, "The reason why I told you today is because Because you are busy with the work here, I tell you that it will not affect the Nak Weaving Factory."

"Tell me and it won't have any impact on Nak Weaving Factory. Besides, is it possible that he wants to hide the truth? Keep Nord, Murphy, Winston, Andre in the dark?" Verak told went up, dissatisfied with this concealment.

   Keating sighed: "There is also a second reason for the concealment. Now that we are close to taking full control of Laizein, if Boin, who is the backbone of the Equality Association, reports that he is seriously ill, do you know how much impact it will have?"

   "How sick is he...?"

   "Morais is considering getting him a wheelchair."

  Verak's heart sank, and he could no longer squeeze a smile on his face: "How could this be? Wasn't he fine before we left..."

"I'm afraid his physical condition was not very good a few months ago. After all, no one can rest like him for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on work." Keating knew Boyne's illness , "And as of today, he has maintained this state for five full months."

   On January 4, they breached the security department of the government building and rescued Boyne and Ross.

   Today is June 3rd, and indeed five months have passed.

   Except for these five months, Boyin did not really relax and rest at other times. During the period of house arrest, in order to pass information to Morais and the others, he did not hesitate to cut himself with a knife and venture out.

  Villac thought that he worked so hard every day that he couldn't concentrate, and his eyelids were too heavy to take a rest. It was hard enough, but compared with Boyin, this seemed nothing.

"How did he do it..." Thinking that whenever he looked for Boyin, he would always answer his phone or meet him, Verak seemed to feel a kind of indomitable and great strength, "he Aren't you tired..."

   "How can you not be tired." Keating said.

   "Why are you tired?" Verak felt the same way.
