Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 370 Eliminate doubts

  Independent mixed division camp, Joseph's office

   "It's not good." The stern Adel didn't care to knock on the door, and broke in directly, and said to Joseph who was handling official business inside, "Francois is coming."

   "What's the situation?" Joseph put down the document in his hand and stood up.

   "I don't know, Francois suddenly came out of the government building a few minutes ago and drove straight to here. I'm afraid he will arrive soon." Adel said.

  Joseph looked at the phone in the office. There was no call from the government building today. When he went to the morning meeting in the morning, Francois didn't say he would come: "Francois didn't notify me."

  Adel hadn’t asked before, but he also guessed this: “He seemed to be in a hurry on this trip, as if he wanted to make a surprise attack. I wonder if he found something, but he didn’t have any evidence, so he wanted to come and inspect it?”

"It's possible. Anyway, the situation shouldn't be too bad. If he finds something and has enough evidence, he won't take the risk." Joseph and Adel analyzed the current situation and made a decision on the purpose of Francois' trip. judge

"What do you think we should do in this limited time?" Adel asked, "Now that the Kingdom of Sider has not yet fought, and Francois has not sent troops, we must not tear ourselves apart with him at this time. "

"Well, it's not yet time." Joseph glanced at his watch. It would take about half an hour at the fastest to get here from the government building. "What is certain is that Francois came here without saying hello. There is nothing good about it. Regardless of whether it is related to the Equality Association or not, we have to deal with it. You go and ask Ross to put away all the books and propaganda papers about the Equality Association, and then go to the detention room to arrest the comrades who came in We're all handcuffed again for show."

   "Okay." Adel left quickly.

  Joseph was not idle, and called the head of the cavalry regiment, Brian, into his office, and ordered him to call the cavalry regiment back to stand by and prepare for the worst. Afterwards, I made a phone call with Boyne and Morais at the terminal, briefly explained the situation to them, and asked them to make some preparations.

   Twenty minutes passed quickly in the busyness of everyone.

  The car carrying Francois and the guards entered the camp of the independent mixed division.

  After the car was parked, less than half a minute after Francois and White got out of the car, Joseph rushed over with Brian, Adel and other subordinates pretending to have just learned the news.

   "Mr. President!" Joseph led his subordinates and surrounding soldiers to salute Francois.

"That's right, the camp is well-organized, not as free and loose as the Guard Corps." Francois praised, and looked at the camp environment again, "I'm a little tired from handling official duties, just as White proposed to go out to relax, so I decided to come here temporarily You hang around here."

"Okay, this is the first time you have come here." Seeing that August White, who is in charge of intelligence and security work, came with Francois, Joseph was basically sure that Francois came here for equality "Mr. President, Mr. White, let me introduce to you first, the commander of the cavalry regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Brian, and this is my staff officer, Major Adair."

  When Francois heard Adel's name, there were some obvious changes in his eyes: "Adel? This name sounds familiar."

  Adel saluted Francois again: "Mr. President, I used to be the warden of Daymans Prison."

Francois deliberately widened his eyes: "Ah, you were the warden of the former Daimans Prison, no wonder. Eh? By the way, weren't you dismissed because of the prison escape? Why did you know Joseph again? , started working in the army?"

Joseph replied for Adel: "The two of us have been friends for a long time, and I know his abilities very well. In addition, several important members of the Equality Society were imprisoned in the prison he managed at the beginning, and those people planned it. Prison escape, I think he should be very familiar with the behavior of those people, so he specially invited him to come and participate in the suppression."

   "That's it." Francois looked the tall and burly Adel up and down, "Do well, and when the Equality Society is wiped out, I think there are still many places that need you."

   "Thank you." Adel said.

"It's your first time here, so let me show you around first." Joseph didn't let Francois and the others stand still, and started to take them around the camp, looking at the barracks, school yard, horse farm, etc. , "Our war horses here are all the best. If you want to try riding them, I can ask someone to pick one for you."

"No, no, no." In the racecourse, Francois, who was absent-minded about visiting these people, covered his mouth and nose with a square scarf to resist the strong smell of horse manure, "I'm an old man, these horses are still suitable for you to control .”

  Joseph glanced at White, who couldn't bear the smell and was coughing softly: "Then let's talk in the office?"

"Didn't you arrest a lot of people from the Equality Association a few days ago? Take me to have a look. I have dealt with them for so long, but I have never met them face to face. Today is the time to see them." Rancois inspected the camp and found nothing unusual, so he decided to visit the members of the Equality Association to check the situation further.

"Okay, you come with me." Joseph responded readily, and led a group of people out of the racecourse and walked towards the prison, "But I want to remind you first, the scene inside will be bloody, you'd better be prepared. "

   "Hmm." Hearing this, Francois couldn't help but glanced at White who had just told him that Joseph didn't interrogate members of the Equality Society.

  White dodged his eyes, followed Joseph and Francois, and walked into the prison.

  As soon as they entered the prison, there was a strong smell of blood and stench that was several times more irritating than the smell from the racecourse just now, making Francois and White retch.

  Joseph pointed to the nearest cell, where there were two stinking corpses: "Everyone is dead, why are you still locked up? Dispose of it quickly!"

   "Yes!" Several soldiers quickly unlocked the door, went in and dragged out two corpses.

   "Ugh..." Stimulated by the smell and appearance of the corpse, Francois retched again.

   "Are you okay? Or go out first?" Joseph supported Francois.

  The suspicion in Francois' heart has not dissipated. He tried hard to suppress the desire to go out to breathe fresh air, and waved his hands: "I'm fine... vomit..."

   Joseph and Adel glanced at each other, satisfied with the things he arranged: "Then I'll take you in to have a look."

   "Okay." Francois gritted his teeth and walked inside with Joseph.

"People from the Equality Association are notoriously tough-boned. You should know this. We are trying every means to force them to explain more things. It's just that most people really don't know anything. They can only Shut it down for the time being, and focus on targeting those leaders first." Joseph made up nonsense naturally and smoothly, explaining why most members of the Equality Society in the prison are doing nothing, and it seems that they have not been tortured.

   "Then what are you going to do with these worthless people?" White asked.

   "These people can't be said to be of little value. To be precise, their value will be reflected in other places, for example, they will attract people from outside equal societies to save them." Joseph answered calmly.

   "Bait? Not bad." There was no problem with this answer. White raised his eyebrows and didn't delve into it further.

Joseph said "hmm": "After all, there are hundreds of people. It is impossible for the Equality Society to be indifferent to their life and death. Therefore, it is meaningless to torture them. Let them hang their lives here, attracting more and more Equality Society. It is the best choice for more people to fall into the trap we have set up."

   As they spoke, several people came to the interrogation room.

  In the interrogation room, several wounded comrades from the Equality Association were hung up, and they struggled to open their eyes and look at the people who came.

   "These are the cadres of the Equality Association that we caught this time. They are tougher than the other, and they haven't let go yet." Joseph calmly described the situation, but his eyes were deeply shocked.

  These are indeed cadres of the Equality Association.

  Is the webmaster of several sites where equality will be broken when co-acting.

   It's just that they were kept well after they were captured, until today's unexpected situation...

   A few corpses are easy to find, but those who are seriously injured, can speak, and can claim to be comrades of the Equality Society will not be found for a while.

  So in an emergency situation, they were tortured for the show, and they dealt with Francois perfectly.

   "It's all like this, and you still refuse to say?" Francois looked at the terrible wounds on those people, and really couldn't understand how they persisted.

"Yeah, it's difficult to get stuck in this place." Joseph walked into the interrogation room and said to the ignorant cadres of the Equality Society, "The honorable Mr. President has come in person, and he can assure you that as long as you confess Give you all the information about the Equality Society that you know, and you will be able to give you glory, wealth, and everything you want."

   "Bah!" The cadre of the Equality Association spat a mouthful of blood on Joseph's face, "I don't care whether you are president or not, you will be overwhelmed by the ocean of the people sooner or later! Long live the Equality Association! We will win!"

   "Long live the Equality Society!"

   "We will win!"

  The other cadres followed suit.

  Joseph took out a kerchief to wipe off the blood on his face, and slowly walked aside to take a whip: "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Mr. President!"

"Snapped!"

"Uh!"

  Joseph slapped the cadre of the Equality Society who just vomited blood at him with a whip.

  The cadre's body was covered with scars, but after such a whip, his skin was torn apart again.

   "Apologize to Mr. President!" With a sullen face, Joseph whipped one whip after another.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

  The cadre couldn't help being tortured like this, and passed out.

   "Long live the Equality Society!"

   "Long live the people!"

  The other two were also seriously injured. The cadres were still high-spirited.

   "Looking for death!" Joseph continued to beat them.

  Francois was shocked to see outside the interrogation room, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

  White didn't say a word, and there was a subtle change in his eyes.

Adel saw several people from the previous suspicion to the current shock, which should have dispelled their doubts about Joseph, and finally rushed into the interrogation room and said: "General, if you fight again, you will kill them! Kill them now!" It does us no good!"

  Joseph stopped now, threw the whip aside, walked out of the interrogation room, and looked at the soldiers in charge of the interrogation: "Within three days, I want you to let them go at all costs!"

   "Yes! General!" The soldier shouted.

   "Joseph, let's go out." Francois saw such a violent side of Joseph for the first time, and subconsciously softened when talking to him.

   "Sorry, Mr. President." Joseph apologized for the rude offense of the Equal Society cadres just now.

   "It's okay, let's go." Francois dispelled his doubts about Joseph, and couldn't wait to get out of the stuffy prison.

   "Follow me." Joseph glanced at the three cadres of the Equality Society who were silent in the interrogation room, and led Francois and White out of the prison. "Mr. President, go to my office and have some coffee."

The meaning of Francois staying here is not great anymore, he glanced at Adel who was following Joseph with fear: "No, I just came out to relax. Come with me, I will tell you something, Let's go."

   Speaking, Francois took Joseph to his car.

   "Mr. President, what's wrong?"

   "That Adel, do you think it's reliable?" Francois looked through the car window at Adel who was standing by not far away.

   "He is my best friend, of course he is reliable." Joseph said as it should.

  Francois didn't speak anymore, and White spoke at the right time: "My intelligence department, Reef, recently accidentally discovered that there are a few soldiers in the independent mixed division who are not normal. We should deal with people who will infiltrate or instigate rebellion on an equal footing."

"yes?"

   "And that Adel, who is closely related to this group of people, may..."

   "You mean, Adel is also a member of the Equal Society?" Joseph laughed.

White said seriously: "Yes. Daimans Prison is impenetrable, and no one has ever successfully escaped from prison. Why was the prison breached from the inside as soon as people from the Equality Association entered? You have to be careful of Adel, he is probably an Equality Eyeliner that will be placed by your side."

"I think you misunderstood something." Joseph didn't take it seriously, "I do have a few people under my command who were instigated by the Equality Association, but I kept pretending not to know, and specially arranged for Adel to contact them and pretend to rely on them. to catch bigger fish."

   "What, what? You mean, this is all under your control?" White said.

  Francois also looked at Joseph unexpectedly.

"As the teacher of the independent mixed division, if I didn't even know whether the division was infiltrated by the Equality Association, I would have died eight hundred times." Joseph shook his head lightly, "Mr. President, you came here today, actually Are you worried about me?"

"Ah... yes, I was worried that you were in danger, and I was afraid of scaring the snake, so I came here to take a look and secretly told you about Adel in the car. We didn't realize that we were worrying too much, and almost disturbed you layout." Francois couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm worrying you. I will report these things to you first in the future, so as not to cause any misunderstandings, or if there is something I don't know, Mr. White found out, and you think I know about it..." Joseph looked dumbfounded. Take the fact that the two of them came to test you to heart, and understand it as caring about your own appearance.

"I'm troubling you. It seems that we, Reef, and your independent editors still need to connect more in the future, so that your own people will not beat your own people in the end." White pushed the matter to Joseph, secretly accusing him of not reporting in time. It made such an embarrassing scene today.

  Francois came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, everyone has a long memory, and cooperation will be indispensable in the future. In terms of intelligence, we should communicate with each other, and we must maximize the capabilities of various departments."

   "Understood." Joseph agreed.

   "Understood." White followed closely.

   "That's it, I won't disturb your business." Francois ended the farce.

   "Be careful on the road." Adel got out of the car and silently watched the convoy go away.
