Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 386 Aid

   Ten o'clock at night

  Leizein and Bash in front of the embassy in Bresci

  A car slowly parked on the side of the road, which attracted the attention of the soldiers in charge of the embassy.

   But before they stepped forward to check the situation, a comrade came down from the passenger seat of the car and had a brief conversation with them, revealing their identities and intentions. Knowing that the visitor was sent by Boyne to pick up the ambassador, the soldiers lifted their guards and rang the doorbell of the embassy.

Soon, a staff member of the embassy came out to inquire about the situation, and when they heard that they were picking up someone to see Boyin, they hurried back and told the important news to the ambassadors, counselors, etc. who hadn’t rested yet. people.

  Selivanovich, who was worrying about how to get in touch with the top leaders of the International Equality League, was overjoyed, and immediately dressed up with his subordinates, and went out to meet the comrades who came to pick them up.

   "I'm sorry, Chairman Boyne only saw Ambassador Selivanovich alone." Seeing that many of them came out in good condition and seemed to be people who planned to go together, the comrades in charge of the pick-up emphasized.

   "Ah... That's it... Okay, you all go back first, I'll go there." As long as you can see Boyne, Selivanovich doesn't really mind how many people went there.

   "Please get in the car." Comrade opened the rear door.

   "Thank you." Selivanovich sat in, and then said to his subordinates outside the window, "Go back and wait for my news."

   Several subordinates wanted to say "Be careful", but they were afraid of being misunderstood by the International Equality League, so they could only hold back their eyes and watch the car leave.

  —

  Lizein, Equality Building, outside the office of the President of the International Equality Alliance

  After being strictly checked by several comrades, it was confirmed that he was not carrying a weapon. Selivanovich was taken into the building and all the way to Boyne's office.

  Not long ago, Selivanovic, who had a secret discussion and cooperation with President Francois here, sighed when he saw the changed number plate on the door.

   "Boom boom boom."

   "Chairman, Ambassador Selivanovich is here."

   "Come in."

  The comrades in charge of leading the way and security opened the door gently, and when Selivanovich walked in, he closed the door and stood guard in front of the door.

"Good evening, respected Chairman Boyne." The office was brightly lit, and Boyne and Keating were sitting in the reception area waiting for Selivanovich, "It turns out that Mr. Keating is also here, and it is also an honor to meet you .”

   "You know me?" Keating asked with a smile while holding a glass of water.

"Of course, you used to be the minister of the Bresi Empire, and later joined the International Equality League to contribute your precious strength. I think anyone who has stayed in Lezein for a while should know you." In fact, Ji Ting's legendary experience has been gradually forgotten with the collapse of the Bresci Empire. In addition, the Equality Society also hid in the dark before, which did not create a chance for him to show up. Today, he can be recognized at a glance and has a deep understanding of his background. This basic understanding all benefited from the information and homework Selivanovich collected urgently when he decided to contact the International Equality League.

   "Please sit down." Boin glanced up and down Selivanovich, inviting him to sit down opposite.

   "Thank you." Selivanovic sat down and formally duo.

  This was the first time they met each other, and both parties were slightly surprised.

   Selivanovich looks young and doesn't look like a wily man, but to be an ambassador and shoulder diplomatic responsibilities, he must have many advantages.

The appearances of Boyne and Keating have long been posted on the streets and alleys as wanted, and Selivanovich deliberately checked their details first. It stands to reason that he would not be surprised, but the result was the opposite. Seeing the old and the young, and thinking of them overthrowing Bresci, Selivanovich felt a little uncertain.

   "I heard you've been wanting to see me today." Boyin didn't waste any time pouring a glass of water for Selivanovich, and got straight to the point.

   "Yes, to be more precise, the emperor of our Bash Empire wants to discuss some cooperation with you." Selivanovich didn't beat around the bush, and put the cooperation on the table as soon as he came up.

   "Bash is working with us?" Boyne snorted softly, and because of Selivanovich's straightforwardness, he became more interested in this person.

"I think you and Mr. Keating have more or less guessed it." Selivanovich said, "The fall of the Bresci government will inevitably affect the battle between the Welland and Bresse coalition forces against us, and this The impact is fatal to them. Therefore, if Wellland wants to continue fighting with us, he must stabilize Brexi's coalition forces. And to stabilize Brexi's coalition forces, he must stabilize Brexi's forces. The government... I think the ambassador from Welland didn't take the initiative to apply to see you today, did he?"

Keating skipped Selivanovich's last question: "What you mean is that Welland will definitely support Brecy's government forces to defeat us, stabilize Brecy again, and let Signe Willenhai The battle can still continue.”

"Yes."

"So you, on behalf of Bash, want to cooperate with us and help us resist Brisey's government forces and Wellland. As long as we can withstand it, their coalition forces will inevitably have difficulty maintaining the battle situation on the Sineville Sea, and will eventually withdraw their troops. , to achieve a win-win situation.”

"Yes."

   "Indeed, Welland's ambassador hasn't approached us, and his intentions are already very clear." Keating admitted this, and didn't intentionally fake the illusion that Welland wanted to cooperate to force Bash to raise the bargaining chip.

  This is actually the consensus of everyone.

   If he wants to continue to get the help of Bresci's coalition forces, it is impossible for Wellland to choose to cooperate with the International Equality Alliance, because the interests of the International Equality Alliance and the original government forces are contrary, and helping the International Equality Alliance coalition forces will immediately collapse.

"Wellland's intentions are very clear. They must have negotiated with the Brecy government army and reached a consensus. Otherwise, the Brecy fleet in the Signe Villen Sea would have withdrawn their troops long ago when they knew the situation here. How could they have thought about it?" Cooperate with Welland to put pressure on us." Selivanovich also has a lot of information, which is why he has the confidence to conclude that Ambassador Welland has not seen Boyne under the closed situation.

"I have to say frankly that the International Equality League is already struggling to fight against the Bresci government forces. If Welland intervenes and gives all-round help to the government forces, the situation will become extremely unoptimistic." Everyone Both are smart people, and after Bash offered to cooperate, Boyne was also outspoken about the situation facing the International Equality League.

"Then our assistance from Bash came in a timely manner." Selivanovich was full of confidence in the cooperation between the two parties, "But before talking about assistance, I would like to understand the strength of the International Equality Alliance. According to our It is estimated that the Brexi government army can assemble no less than 300,000 troops, and may even reach 500,000, so what about the International Equality Alliance?"

   "Less than 50,000." Boyne said.

   "No, less than 50,000?" Selivanovich was obviously stunned.

   This is too different from what they predicted.

  They know that the International Equality League itself is very clear about the size of the enemy they will face, and they will not be able to avoid it after occupying Laizein and other places.

  Then if you dare to launch a comprehensive revolution, you must have the confidence to fight the government army.

  Even if there is no armed force of 200,000 people, there must be 100,000.

  Who would have thought that it would be less than 50,000. Without Bash's help, what would they have to fight against an opponent ten times their size?

   "Are you sure you are not joking?" Selivanovich always felt a sense of unreality when he heard Boyin's plain reply.

   "Do I need to be joking?" Boin raised the corner of his mouth and asked back.

"It's... hard for me to imagine that even if Welland and us didn't intervene, the International Equality Alliance and the government forces would have no chance of winning, right? Then why did you choose this time for a full-scale revolution?" Facts have proved that the International Equality Alliance There are many smart people here, Selivanovich couldn't figure it out, "Is it possible that you have other cards?"

   "The people are our biggest trump card." Boyne replied.

  If anyone said this, Selivanovich would not be able to help but laugh out loud, but Boyne was an exception. He really led the International Equality League and the people to today.

   "This... I really believe in the power of the people, but sometimes their power is very limited..." Selivanovich euphemistically stated that it is impossible for the people alone to defeat the powerful government army.

   "Our cognition on this point is just the opposite. I think the power of the people is unlimited." Boyne firmly believed in this.

   "If the people are really so powerful, I don't think you will need our help." Selivanovich also did not waver his point of view.

"At this point, I don't bother to hide my true thoughts. I think we can still win without Bash's assistance, but that road is relatively more difficult to walk, and there are better options. Of course, it should be put in second place." Boyin raised his head slightly, not showing weakness at all because of the urgency of the situation.

Selivanovich did not delve into this point, and immediately complimented: "I believe in you. The International Equality League can go from a few dozen people in the past to today. What else is impossible? It's just us Bash I hope everything settles down soon.”

Boin didn't talk nonsense anymore, talking about their follow-up plans: "We know that the current strength alone cannot fight against the government forces. I said that the power of the people is unlimited, but it doesn't mean that we really want to let the unarmed More people will go to the front line. We are already promoting the expansion of the army, and it is estimated that three to four armies will be established, and the combatable force will be increased to 100,000 to 150,000 people."

   This data finally passed the pass line in Selivanovic's heart.

   More than 100,000 troops are not many, and the hope of defeating the Bresci government army is still slim, but the conditions for delaying the war are already met.

  Whether the Equal Alliance Army can defeat the government army is not important to Bash at all. What they value is only when the coalition forces of Welland and Brecy collapse.

  If this can be achieved if the battle is delayed for too long, then there is no need to pursue victory.

   "Then what do you need?"

   "Food, weapons, medicine, funds, etc., we can say that we need everything." Boyne began to ask, "After the expansion of the army, we are also in urgent need of experienced officers to train our comrades' combat capabilities."

   "Hmm." Selivanovich listened patiently.

  As far as the things Boyin mentioned in general are all normal assistance, they are within his expectations.

"Time is running out. With the support of Welland, the government army will be able to kill Laizein within a week at the earliest, and will not exceed ten days at the latest. In other words, our comrades should have gone to the battlefield after seven days. I hope that tonight we can finalize various aids, so that the sooner the aid arrives, our pressure will be lighter, and comrades will be able to avoid many unnecessary sacrifices." When referring to comrades going to the battlefield, Boyin, who had always been calm, rarely showed a trace of eagerness.

  Bash is quite a distance away from here, and the aid will inevitably take a long time from preparation to delivery to use. Once stretched, the battle will be extraordinarily difficult.

   This is a head-to-head war with no retreat.

   It is a war where one is against ten, and the most immature enthusiasm is used against the coldest artillery fire.

   At that time, the increase in casualties will be terribly high, and the number of comrades sacrificed every day may be the sum of the past.

  Byne gave up on resting tonight, hoping that the aid would come sooner.

"Okay." Selivanovich readily agreed, "In addition, you don't need to worry too much about the assistance. In addition to shipping by sea, we can also ship from Sidr, so that the time can be fast. If it is really settled , the first batch of aid will arrive within three days.”

   "That's the best." Boyin nodded, and was about to talk about the assistance needed in detail, when his face suddenly changed, and he coughed violently, "Ahem, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"

   "Are you okay?" Selivanovich was taken aback by Boyne's appearance.

   Keating's heart was aroused, and he rarely hesitated about what to do next.

They don't want to expose Boyin's physical condition to the outside world, because Boyin has become an important spiritual force in the hearts of everyone. His every move will affect the International Equality Alliance and many people. At the same time, it is easy to be used by hostile forces to make a big fuss. .

   And in front of Selivanovic, it is even more impossible to show any decline.

  If it interferes with the judgment of the other party, and then shakes the other party's confidence in the International Equality Alliance, thinking that even the leaders are like this, and investing in them is not worth the loss, then the situation will be even worse.

   "Ahem, I told you, I can't eat chili, why are you coughing for dinner! Why are there so many chilis..." Boyin blamed Keating intermittently, and attributed the cough to eating chili.

  Keating's reaction was also very quick: "Shouldn't Veraker be responsible for this matter? Why is he so careless?! And since you can't eat spicy food, why don't you say so, we'll make you another one."

Boyin waved his hand, took a glass of water from Selivanovich and drank it: "... Time is running out, I don't have time to wait for you to make a new copy... Okay, let's hurry up and talk about aid ..."
