Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 389 The last step

  Verak didn't know what to say, and remained silent with his mouth slightly open.

   "After attending Nord's wedding, we will continue to fight in different places, and we will meet again when the whole world is liberated." Boyne said.

   "When is he coming?"

   "I'm here today. In addition to Nord and Catherine, Murphy, Winston, and Andre will also come here, and I can just have an interview and do the official report on the liberation of Kip City and the pilot factory."

   "But my plan is to leave tomorrow."

   "Exactly, they have a wedding tomorrow."

  Verak smiled helplessly: "It was too sudden... I think everyone is so busy now, and it's a bit inappropriate to spend more time on holding a wedding..."

   "I think it's quite appropriate." Boin was very supportive of this decision made by Nord and Catherine, "Everyone is very tired during this time, and we should have such a chance to relax."

"Okay, then do as you wish." Things have been settled, and it is inconvenient for Verak to express his opinions, and the time chosen by Nord and Catherine is really good. It is rare for everyone to take this opportunity to get together , It will not be so easy to meet again in the future. As for whether they will get married too soon, this is their own arrangement, and Verac has no right to intervene.

   "We will leave the preparations for the wedding to us. Nord and the others will arrive in about an hour. You can pick them up then."

"Understood." Verak left, returned to his office to tell the good news to others, and then patiently continued to learn Bash, until the time when Nord and the others were coming, he went out and passed by Keating's office After talking to him, he went downstairs and waited for a group of people to arrive.

  Byne estimated the time very accurately. Less than five minutes after Verak went downstairs, several cars drove into the small square in front of the Equality Building after being checked.

  In the past, people basically chose trucks for long-distance travel, hiding people in the cargo compartment to hide their eyes and ears.

   Now that the north-central region of Bresci is controlled by the International Equality Alliance, there is no need to be so careful. Nord and the others can come here in a car for the first time in a fair and comfortable manner.

   After the two cars parked, Nord, Catherine, Murphy, Winston, Andre, Benedict and others got out of the car. First, they all looked up at the flag of the International League for Equality hanging in front of them.

  There are countless flags of the International League for Equality flying in dozens of towns, but only the flag on the current flagpole is the most moving.

  Because this was the center of the original government, this building was previously called the Government Building.

   Only when this place is occupied will it represent the downfall of the old government, and the International Equality Alliance has become the leader of tens of millions of people in Bresci.

   "Here we come." Verak smiled and walked over.

   "Verak!" Nord happily stepped forward to hug Verak.

   "Comrade Verac."

   "Comrade Verac."

   Others also greeted each other.

   "Isn't it because I haven't seen you for half a month?" Verak smiled and hugged Nord, and shook hands with the others one by one, "Welcome to Laizein, Comrade Catherine."

   "Thank you." Comrade Catherine replied politely.

"Murphy, why do you feel that you have lost weight? Don't forget to eat because of work. Comrade Winston, Comrade Andre, Comrade Benedict, the factory has worked hard for you." Verak took a few The man walked into the building, "Come on, let's go in and talk."

  Nord looked up at the Equality Building, his eyes sparkling: "Does this building belong to us?"

   "Belongs to the working people." Virak corrected while leading the way.

   "Lizein is really different." Nord lamented what he saw along the way today, "I didn't expect that we did all of this."

   "Kip City is about the same as Laizein, right?"

"It's more lively and chaotic than here, and it's also because of this that Comrade Meren, the station master of the sub-station, had to stay and sit in the town, and couldn't come with him." Nord said, "By the way, you probably don't know yet, actually Catherine is Comrade Mellen's daughter."

   "Oh? Why didn't you say it before?" Verak was slightly surprised.

  Catherine explained: "I didn't want to be taken special care of because of this relationship, so I took the initiative to ask to hide the contact with my father."

   "I see..." Verak admired Comrade Catherine a lot.

   "Actually, we couldn't get out of the factory, but this time we just gave the workers a holiday, so we came over to attend the wedding and report to Chairman Boyne about the situation of the pilot factory." Winston followed.

   "I heard that the factory's output has been stagnant for a while. Do you have any good ideas to break the deadlock?" Verak asked.

"There is no better optimization direction for the system. I think that at present, only through the invention and creation of science and technology, which can cause profound changes in the means of labor, labor objects and the quality of laborers, can we make great progress and raise the output to a higher level. ’ said Winston.

Verac nodded thoughtfully. In terms of the system, they all think that they have done a good job, and the workers are also working very hard. If they want to make a breakthrough in production capacity, they can no longer focus solely on these two parties. : "In this regard, I feel that I have to wait for the formal operation of the school. Teacher Keating has recruited a large number of talents in this area, and they should be able to help."

   "Really? I don't know much about this matter. I can have a good chat with Comrade Keating later." Winston is quite interested in this aspect.

"Ms. Keating and Chairman Boyne are waiting for you." Joseph, Morais and others were too busy to see each other these days. Verac didn't make a special trip to contact them, and directly brought a few people to Boyne's office .

  The spaciousness of this luxurious office finally comes in handy, the reception area is more than enough for nine people.

   "Chairman Boyne!"

   "Chairman Boyne!"

  Catherine and Benedict were a little excited when they saw Boyne for the first time.

   It's just that this excitement was diluted a lot when he saw Boyne sitting in a wheelchair.

  They had more or less heard about Boyin’s physical problems before, but they still couldn’t help but feel heavy after seeing Boyin, who led the Equality Association out of the most difficult days, become so haggard.

   "Please sit down." Boyin warmly invited everyone to sit down.

  Verak poured water for everyone.

"Although this is the first time we have met, I have heard of your names and deeds a long time ago. Comrade Catherine is one of the elders of the branch station. She not only helped the branch station overcome the initial difficulties, but also helped the branch Comrade Benedict is also excellent, responsible for protecting the safety of the pilot factory and all comrades, so that everyone can perform tasks with peace of mind."

   "It's nothing, everyone has worked hard."

   "In fact, in terms of security, Comrade Verak has done more than me, and he has taught me a lot."

  Catherine and Benedict were delighted to remember and praise them, but they dare not be proud in front of so many comrades who have made outstanding contributions.

"What I didn't expect the most was that Nord went out for a trip, and when he came back, he was going to start a family." Boin joked about Nord, "He is only twenty-three years old, and he has done what many of us want to do. Do things you haven't had time to do yet."

"It's also fate. If I hadn't gone to Kip City to pick you up from Pullman before, I wouldn't have known Catherine. If I hadn't gone to Kip City to build a club school later, I would have no hope of having more with Catherine." Contact." Nord and Catherine sat together, giggling.

"I don't have much experience in this field, and I don't know what to say. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the wedding. I have already arranged for people to prepare it, and it will be held on time tomorrow according to your wishes." Boyin left the words of blessing tomorrow, "At that time, many people will come to participate, take your opportunity to celebrate and relax."

  Nord couldn't sit still anymore, and was looking forward to the big event in his life: "Thank you, Chairman!"

   "You see you are frizzy, can't you be calm like Comrade Catherine?" Verak laughed.

   "I'm trying, I'm trying." Nord smirked again.

A year ago, he was still living in a daze, envious of Nord, who lived in a single room in the slum area where Verak lived. He never thought that one day he would engage in such a great and worthy career, and he never thought that he would meet his true love and conclude a relationship with each other. The sacred covenant of love.

  Everyone here is laughing at Nuo De's bewilderment, and deeply understands Nuo De's inner feelings.

   This man, who was only slightly older than Murphy, really understood what it meant to be alive after he burst out with joy from the inside out.

   At this time, Nord is no longer Nord, but the epitome of the times.

   Seeing this scene, Verak turned his head and wiped away the tears accumulated in the corners of his eyes.

  In the past year, he has seen too many friends leave and tasted too many regrets. Finally, his best friend met someone who could hold each other's arms and walk the road of life together.

  He is happier than anyone else.

   Also felt a lot more than anyone else.

   "Verak."

   "Huh?" Verak sat upright immediately, pretending to be natural, for fear of being noticed his emotional fluctuations.

   "You will give a speech at my wedding tomorrow." Nord reminded.

"me?"

   "You are my best friend, and of course you have to give a speech on major events in my life." Nord said seriously.

  Verak looked around, afraid that he would screw up Nord's best moment: "I don't know how to give a speech, I have never attended a wedding..."

   "If you don't understand, you can ask me." Keating said.

   "Look, Mr. Keating is here, just ask if you don't understand anything, anyway, you must come to give a speech tomorrow." Nuode seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and he did not back down in the choice of the speaker.

   "...Okay, I'll do it then." Seeing Nord's expression, Verak agreed.

  As Nord said, at such an important moment in his life, he should stand up by himself.

  Verak is honored.

"Comrade Keating, Comrade Verac said that there are a group of technical talents in the club school. Our pilot factory has encountered a bottleneck and wants to improve productivity through technological innovation. If we can get the assistance of this group of technical talents, the problem should be solved a lot. .” On the other side, Winston asked Keating in a low voice about the condition of the technical talents.

"Well, we have indeed recruited a group of talents and plan to arrange them in the club school to give them more space to play, and at the same time to train more outstanding comrades. If you need it here, after the club school is completed, We can coordinate to solve the factory's problems together." Keating said.

   "That's the best." Winston had too many ideas in his mind that he wanted to practice.

  Boin heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Comrade Winston, how is the situation at the factory?"

"The situation in the factory has stabilized, and the previous cooperation with other factories has basically been settled. When we get rid of the big trouble here, we can start over there." Winston turned to Boyne and said, "I was just now Talk to Comrade Keating about some follow-up cooperation, I hope to use the strength of the technical talents of the club school to develop more efficient machines to help the factory increase production."

   "Very good, you can discuss this matter in detail, and tell me if you need anything." Boyin unconditionally supported the two.

"By the way, during this period of time, I have studied factories, our International Equality League, and many other things, and I have some new ideas, and I have started to create new works on the basis of class theory." Winston is practicing At the same time as the new system in the factory, there were unexpected gains.

   "Oh? What's it called?" "A Theory of Classes" is enough to shock everyone, and Boyne can hardly imagine what kind of development Winston has made.

"The theory of public ownership." Winston said, "I want to elaborate some points of view more fully and intensively in the theory of public ownership, such as the elimination of private ownership, such as the overthrow of the rule of the bourgeoisie, the capital that we, the proletariat, will take back from the bourgeoisie The tools of production are concentrated..."

   Several people here listened with gusto.

After joining the Equality Association and the International Equality League, Winston has seen and done a lot of things. These things have unblocked his originally blocked thoughts, making a film more powerful than "Theory of Equality" and "Theory of Class". Blockbuster books began to take shape.

"I like the phrase 'We never bother to conceal our views and intentions, we can openly say that our ends can only be achieved by the violent overthrow of all existing social institutions.'" Boyne appreciates Winston's general proposition and some content.

   Fight resolutely, overthrow the enemy's rule, and change the world by yourself.

   Such a simple-sounding idea was learned by the International Equality League after a painful lesson.

   It should be known by more people.

   Only in this way can I be worthy of those people.

"I'm quite moved." Verac's tone was full of approval, "First the 'Equality Theory', then the 'Class Theory', and then the 'Community Theory', they are like the footprints we have come step by step, clearly documented our journey…”

"Yeah, it's more like steps, one after another, helping us to go higher and face the answer." Boyin had the same feeling, "Think about it, this also represents the three years we have walked. Big steps, every step counts...Hopefully, this is the last step we're taking now."
