Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 387 The original appearance

  June 20, 1:30am

  After several hours of careful negotiation, the Bash Empire’s assistance to the International Equality League was basically finalized, including but not limited to: weapons and equipment, personal protective equipment, medicines, living supplies, technical personnel, and combat personnel.

  With the value of the first batch of aid exceeding 23 million gold grams, the Bash Empire also opened up an exclusive channel for the International Equality Alliance to purchase additional supplies, enjoying preferential policies such as low prices, various types, and fast transportation.

  When it came to the help of military personnel, Boyne and Keating made a special request according to Joseph and Morais's entrustment, hoping that Bash could assist in commanding operations.

  The current strength of the Bash Navy is still hard to say, but the strength of the army is recognized.

The next thing that the International Equality Alliance will launch with the government forces is a large-scale battle between hundreds of thousands of people. Joseph, who was quickly promoted from regiment leader to commander-in-chief in just a few months, does not have the confidence to control this situation. Therefore, having the outstanding generals from Bash come to assist, the pressure will be much less, and the chances of winning will be greatly increased.

   On this point, Selivanovich also readily agreed.

   "...I feel your sincerity." After the talk, Boyin stood up and shook hands with Selivanovich to express his gratitude.

  The first round of aid is so big, the possibility of the International Equality Alliance defeating the government forces is a little bit higher.

   Selivanovich waved his hand: "It's nothing, we will have more cooperation in the future."

  Boin nodded: "I hope we can win."

   "That's for sure." After laughing, Selivanovich mentioned another matter cautiously, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about."

"Speaking."

"As far as I know, the International Equality Alliance has not only established sub-stations in various cities in Bresci, but also set foot in many places abroad. Among them, our Bash seems to be included." Selivanovic The special use of "seems" did not embarrass Boyin and Keating too much.

   "Really?" Keating asked in surprise before Boyne could express his opinion, "There are still people from our International Equality League active in Bash?"

   Seeing Keating's unexpected expression, Selivanovich subconsciously doubted whether the information he had received was wrong.

Keating went on to say: "We had plans to expand outward. At that time, Chairman Boyne personally took people to the capital of Dunman, the Old South Treaty, to direct the revolution, but we didn't expect that it would fail so badly in the end. We directly changed the situation." Our follow-up development plan."

It is precisely because the predecessor of the International Equality League, the Equality Association, led the people of Dunman in the old South Treaty to force the government to abolish the "New Conscription Law", so that other countries realized that the goal of this group of people was never only Bresci, and promoted The countries headed by Pluman set up strict defenses in advance to prevent them from entering their own territory and disrupting order.

  Later, the Dunman government destroyed the sub-station of the Equality Association, which seriously set back the development momentum of the equality thought in the country, and it naturally spread all over the country, and Selivanovich also heard a little bit about it.

"what do you mean…"

"Except for the completely annihilated Dunman substation, we have not sent anyone abroad. I am afraid that what you have heard is some counterfeit products." Keating said with certainty, "But this is not unusual. , There are endless people in Brescia borrowing our name to make money, not to mention those abroad with all kinds of thoughts."

"Yes." Keating denied the relationship with the Bash branch first, and Boyne could only cooperate, "And many counterfeit products in China were secretly ordered by the former government to tarnish our reputation. , forcing us to confront the people.”

"This…"

   "I understand what you mean, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's impossible to make a counterfeit listen to us and keep his own place." Keating said apologetically.

   "Hehe..." Selivanovich laughed, "I see, it seems to be a misunderstanding."

   Boyin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better to untie it as soon as possible, so as not to cause a gap between us during the critical period of the alliance."

   "Yes." Selivanovich replied.

   "Although we have nothing to do with the fakes you mentioned, we can't order them to do anything, but if there is anything we can help, please feel free to ask." Boyin said generously.

"Okay, thank you. I believe that some fakes will not destroy our mutual trust, and please rest assured that since those people have nothing to do with the International Equality League, then we don't need to be polite to them anymore, as Allies, I have an obligation to help you eradicate counterfeit products.” Selivanovich smiled, and spoke with a hint of threat, “Okay, it’s getting late, I’ll go back and report the situation to my superiors , it would be best if everything works tonight."

   "Thank you."

"sorry to bother you."

  Boin and Keating sent Selivanovich out of the office, and after watching him go downstairs, the two went back to sit down.

   "He probably didn't believe it." Boyne concluded from Selivanovich's last cryptic warning that this was a tacit confrontation.

   "That young man is very thoughtful, and if he can serve as an ambassador, he certainly won't be easily fooled by our improvised rhetoric." Keating knew this very well. "If he just died and refused to admit it, it actually gave us both a step down."

   "A step up for both sides?"

   "Well. Of course we can't admit it. If we admit it, we can only give up the revolution on Bash's side, otherwise everyone will look bad. If you don't admit it, even if Bash has some conclusive evidence, it will be useless."

  Boin still has a little concern: "But they should be sure, so will our doing so affect the cooperation?"

"These are two different things. They won't be so stupid as to confuse them. Could it be that they insist that this is our person, and we must give an explanation, and if we don't give an explanation, they will not assist us? Then the government army won us, and they are here Don't they still have to face the pressure from the Welland-Bressi coalition forces at Signeville Sea?" Keating shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Indeed... No matter what happens to this matter, we still need assistance and cooperation." Boyin's thoughts became clearer, "Fortunately, I specially asked you to negotiate together. Too good to parry Selivanovic."

"It's nothing. You still lack experience in dealing with these outstanding politicians. You should deal more with them in the future." Keating actually admired Boyin. Apart from the tacit cooperation with him just now, he is also good at other things. Almost watertight, basically no one can be better than him among his peers.

   "It's just that the Bash sub-station has to bear a lot of pressure in the follow-up, and we have to remind them to prepare in advance." Boyin wanted to provide help to the sub-station, but he really couldn't spare the effort.

"Don't pay too much attention to Selivanovich's warning. As long as we continue the revolution, it will inevitably be accompanied by threats of life and death." Keating was quite calm, "Since they already know that our people are active, unless they accurately predict In today's situation, otherwise it would be impossible to remain indifferent. Therefore, the so-called eradication operation has already begun, and the questioning just now is just to decide whether the eradication needs to be terminated."

  Byne nodded slightly approvingly: "It's still fortunate that the International Equality League has you in charge."

   "Hehe..." Keating shook his head modestly, "It's almost two o'clock in the morning, you should go to rest."

   "No rush." ​​Boyne took out the medicine bottle from his pocket and began to drink the medicine. "We will have a meeting with Joseph and Morais later."

   "You didn't take much rest yesterday, you got up at four o'clock in the morning to take charge of the overall situation, and now you have been working until two o'clock in the morning today... This workload is unbearable even for a healthy and normal person, let alone—"

   "But I'm still very energetic. Does this mean that I'm much healthier than normal people?" Boyne joked.

   Keating was slightly shocked by Boyne's words.

   Just as he was moved by Verak who suffered nine days of inhuman torture in a hopeless prison.

  The person in front of him is clearly terminally ill, but he is still as tenacious as a piece of steel.

"...In my impression, this is not the first time you have told me that I am very glad that I can join the Equality Association." Keating watched Boyin swallow a handful of pills, "Actually, I am more fortunate. I thought I've seen it all, I thought I'd be in prison for a lifetime of being disabled...I'm very fortunate to be part of the Equality Society, to be part of the International Equality League, really blessed."

  Boin, who drank half a glass of water, smiled: "Go and rest, there are still many things to be busy during the day."

  —

   "Boom boom boom."

  In the Equality Building, there was a knock on the door of the office temporarily assigned to Verak's work.

   "Come in."

   "Still working." Keating walked in.

   "Teacher." Verak stood up and pointed to the phone, "I just called Nord and Winston."

   "How about over there?" Keating sat down on the chair that Verac brought.

Verak went to the side and poured water for Keating: "Nord and Murphy followed the old Comrade Meren to maintain law and order, waiting for further arrangements from our side. Winston and Andre gave the workers a holiday On the one hand, it is to celebrate the success of the revolution, and on the other hand, it is to ask the workers to take this opportunity to publicize our factory’s system to the outside world.”

   "Sounds good." Keating took the water from Veraker.

   "How is your negotiation with Bash's ambassador?" Verak also wanted to go and negotiate with him at first, but he didn't make trouble because he thought he couldn't help much.

   "The initial assistance has been finalized, and it is estimated that it will be delivered one after another in a few days..." Keating roughly talked about the situation of the assistance.

   Hearing that Bash has given aid worth tens of millions of gold grams, and that the International Equality Alliance will also enjoy a series of preferential policies when buying things from Bash in the future, Verac can't help but sigh: "Bash is really a big deal."

   "This is only the first round of assistance, but it's nothing to them. After all, paying for this is quite cost-effective compared to dismantling the blockade and pressure of the Welland Allied Forces."

   "Yes, their sea routes have been blocked for almost a month, and the naval battle is also in full swing. I definitely hope that our side can defeat the government forces as soon as possible and help them solve their urgent needs."

"In addition, the Bash ambassador also asked about our Bash branch, trying to use our cooperation face to force us to withdraw." Keating continued, "Boin and I denied any cooperation with the Bash branch. In this way, the two sides will not tear each other apart, which will not only allow the sub-station to continue its activities, but also will not affect the assistance cooperation this time."

  Verak raised his eyebrows: "Then what if I'm recognized in the past?"

"Let's just say you betrayed us and set up a fake International Equality League sub-station to make a fortune. We support Bash in eradicating traitors and counterfeit products and maintaining our reputation." Keating directly contacted Vivian without hesitation. Rucker drew a line.

   "This is too hasty." Verak couldn't laugh or cry.

   "It's just good enough to make sense of face, no one expects Bash to really believe our explanation." Keating took a sip of water, and changed the topic, "Have you decided when to go to Bash?"

"…do not know."

"The current operation is going very smoothly. The war with the government forces will not be over in a while. If you want to leave, I suggest you leave in a few days." Verak said that he would stay and help Everyone survived the difficulties, otherwise they would not feel relieved to leave, but the duration of the war was unpredictable, and Keating felt that it was unrealistic for Verak to stay and wait for success before going to Bash.

  Verak's smile faded, replaced by a serious one: "Hmm..."

   Keating looked at Veraker: "Bash will spare no effort to wipe out the comrades in the sub-station in the future. There is an urgent need for a backbone who can lead them."

   "I understand, I've been thinking about these things. The war may last for a few months, or even longer, but the problem of sub-stations can't be delayed." Verac said.

   "Then have you thought about when to go?"

"At the beginning, I thought about waiting. Even if the war is not over, I have to pass after the war situation stabilizes. But you have come to persuade me, so I'd better leave early. If there are no accidents...just a few days .” Verak decided to leave before the battle.

"I know the reason why you don't want to leave now. You are afraid that after you go to Bash, you will know that our side is fighting hard, but you won't be able to help at all." Keating understands the things that are suffocating in Verak's heart. "But, if it is really difficult, or will fail, do you think you can reverse the result?"

"…I can not."

"So, objectively speaking, the substation needs you more than here, and the same is true for other regions." Keating got up and walked to Verak, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think that going to the substation at this juncture It is equivalent to avoiding danger, the troubles faced by the sub-station are not as easy as here... To be honest, I am more worried that you will never return from this trip."

"Don't think so much, just take care of your body." Verac patted Keating on the back in turn, "I will set off before everyone goes to war with the government forces, and I hope that when we meet again in a long time, we will still be the same .”
