Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 391 New Comrades

   "Let's go." Verak walked out of the Equality Building with two suitcases, and joined Clark, Vikenji, August, and several other comrades who were waiting for him in the car and went to Bash to help.

   "Have you explained everything?" Clark asked.

   "Hmm." Verak put the two suitcases in the trunk.

   This was the first time he took two boxes out.

  In the past, I simply brought a few books and a change of clothes or two, and I was able to cope for several months. This time going out is bound to be a long time, and he himself will inevitably take everything that should be taken seriously.

   "I'm sorry to trouble you this time." Putting the suitcase away, Verak sat in the co-pilot's seat, and apologized to Clark who was in charge of driving.

  Originally, Clark planned to go to the club school with Keating, where he could teach the comrades Bash and learn more things at the same time.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the learning progress of Verakbash was not satisfactory. If I went to Bash like this, I am afraid that there would be many problems in normal communication, so Clark gave up the opportunity to go to the club school for further studies and decided to go with Veraker. Bash, continue to teach him Bash language and help him deal with all communication problems.

"It's nothing. After going to Bash, I can still go to the club school when I come back, but if I go to the club school now, I will have to miss Bash's precious experience." Clark was in a good mood and accepted the trip calmly. travel arrangements.

   "I hope everything goes well." Verak was quite happy that Clark could go with him.

   Except for the two Bash revolutionaries Vikenji and August, Clark was the only comrade he knew during this trip. The other comrades in the other car were all different talents with whom he had not yet dealt.

   "Di—"

  Clark honked the horn to remind the other car to get ready to go, then started the car, drove into the main road, and rushed towards one side.

  Verak wanted to look straight ahead, so he went to Bash without looking back, devoting himself to the new task.

   But when he clearly felt that he was drifting away from familiar things, he still couldn't help looking through the car window at the Equality Building, which was left behind and became smaller and more blurred.

"Our brothers and sisters must have been looking forward to it in Winterhold." Finally on the way back home, Vikenji and August were very happy, and wanted to see their friends who fought together immediately, and brought Bash's The cause of revolution was also started.

"The comrades in our Bash substation have been merged with your workers' mutual aid association for a while, and they should be in good condition now." Virak roughly understood their Bash language, and then tried to communicate with them in Bash language as well. comminicate.

"For sure, if everyone is united, the strength will be much stronger, and it will not be so easy to be bullied by the government. This principle is very similar to our Bash proverb. A person can break a chopstick, but he cannot break a chopstick. Take the chopsticks..." August said.

  Vickenji asked about Verak's follow-up plans: "Comrade Verak, you went to Bash, what are you going to do?"

"How to do it? Uh...Clark, please translate for me." The specific answer Verak didn't know how to say in Bash, so he could only ask Clark who was driving for help. "According to the current situation, my initial plan is to put the We set up a framework to avoid direct conflict with the government forces. We will wait until we have accumulated enough strength and have a better time before taking the next step.”

Clark translated it into Bash and gave it to Vikenji and August, and after Vikenji replied, he translated: "Vikenji said that the detailed arrangements can only be made after he goes there. Bar?"

   In fact, Verak understood this sentence. He turned his head and said in Bash: "Of course."

   Tens of minutes later, two cars arrived at Laizein Railway Station.

  After taking control of the north-central region and stabilizing it, the International Equality Alliance opened up train traffic in the region, facilitating communication between large and small towns.

   As for Verak and the others, they had to take the train to the nearest city to the Kingdom of Sdir in the area controlled by the International Equality Alliance, and then use other means of transportation to cross the long and narrow Kingdom of Sdir and reach the Bash Empire all the way.

In fact, the speed of taking a boat will be faster, but the coalition forces of Welland and Bressi have blocked the route, and they are in an inextricable fight with the Bash Navy on the Sea of ​​​​Signevillen, and the only seaport currently controlled by the International Equality League is being closely watched. So, they can only give up this option.

  Boarding the train, a group of eight people were arranged in the same compartment, and Verak took advantage of the opportunity to get acquainted with other comrades traveling together.

  Philip Oscar, a lively young man in an octagonal hat and silver-rimmed glasses.

  He is an outstanding talent in the Propaganda Department, and this time he is responsible for assisting the Bash branch to strengthen the propaganda work.

  Paul Quentin, whose figure can almost be described as skinny, wears plain clothes and is unsmiling, but he can keep everyone's characteristics in mind.

  He is an effective subordinate of Minister of Intelligence Charles. This time, he is responsible for assisting the Bash sub-station to deal with the infiltration of the Bash government army, and at the same time establish the basic intelligence network of the sub-station.

  Warren Stuart, tall and tall, has short blond hair, speaks well, and shows confidence in every gesture.

  He is a classmate of Boyne, Chris, and Francis. He once studied together at the Business School of Imperial University of Lazerin. This time, he is responsible for assisting the Bash branch to solve the funding problem.

  Amanda Connie, an approachable little girl, usually likes to coil her hair up and sit in the outermost position with her arms crossed.

  She is a talent that Morais dug out from the War Department, and her marksmanship and close combat skills are quite top-notch. At first, Morais wanted to arrange her by Boyin's side to protect Boyin's safety, but in the end he was transferred to accompany Veraker and his party to protect them.

"It's an honor to meet you. We will live and work together for a long time. I hope we can work together to overcome all difficulties and successfully complete the tasks entrusted by Chairman Boyne." Verac and the four new acquaintances Comrades shook hands.

  The four comrades have all heard Verac's name for a long time. This time they sat face to face in the same carriage and rushed to the distant Bash together, which made them equally honored.

   "I just heard that you will go, so I volunteered to apply for the company." Oscar from the Propaganda Department looked admiring.

   "Because of me?" Veraker was a little surprised.

"I know Comrade Ross. I heard him talk about many of your deeds. For example, you suffered inhuman abuse in prison, but you still persisted..." Oscar talked about what he heard from Ross. , admiring Virak so much.

"So it's like this..." As a comrade in the Propaganda Department, it's not surprising that Oscar and Rose knew each other, but Verac was curious about how many people Rose had boasted about and exaggerated about himself. We were arrested and tortured by the government, trying to force me to get clues. After insisting on it for almost two months, he didn't let go once, until we—"

   "Comrade Ross has emphasized this matter to us, and he wants us to learn from his spirit." Oscar said.

  Verak did not expect Ross to be quite proud in the Propaganda Department: "In terms of perseverance alone, it is really worth learning..."

   "Comrade Verac, I heard that you know someone who knows Montrego's martial arts?" Connie, who is in charge of security work, always cares about martial arts.

"I know a pair of brothers from Menglege. Their family used to open a martial arts gym. Both of them are very skilled. It's a pity that the elder brother Diaz has died, and the younger brother Murphy is now working with Teacher Keating." Lark replied.

   "I'm very interested in Menglege's martial arts, and I've always wanted to communicate and learn from a leader in this field."

"When Bash's revolutionary work is finished, Murphy will come and join me, and we will go to his hometown of Montrego to spread the fire of revolution. Then I can introduce you to each other." When Verac promised, Inode got married. The scene was still vivid in my memory, and I couldn't help thinking of matching Murphy and Connie when I had the opportunity.

   "Good! Thank you!" Connie was satisfied.

  Verak looked at Quentin, who hadn't said a word since introducing himself: "Comrade Quentin."

   "Huh?" Quentin sat by the window and responded indifferently.

"Although this is the first time we've met, I've heard a lot about you from Charles before." Verak wanted to get everyone closer and closer through communication, "He said that your observation skills are very keen, and you can get a lot of attention in just one meeting." Analyze a person thoroughly. Anyway, the road is boring, why don't you come and analyze us?"

   "You don't need to analyze it." Quentin gave up analyzing Verac.

  Verak knew that this was because he was too well known, and some information analysis did not show that Quentin was powerful.

   "Then analyze me first." Stuart faced Quentin with his head held high, and he didn't quite believe that Quentin could tell anything just from his appearance.

   "Stuart, right?" Quentin glanced over his head and sized up Stuart.

   "Yes." Stuart nodded.

  Quentin sniffed and said lazily: "You smoke,"

   "No more?" Stuart raised his eyebrows, "Then I can only say that your nose is indeed quite sensitive. I just took a sip this morning, and after I smoked, I sprayed some perfume on it."

"No more." Quentin leaned back in his chair, perfunctorily followed the order, and analyzed Connie, Oscar, Clark, Vikenji, and August, "Simple mind, simple mind, simple mind, simple mind, Simple-minded."

   "What are you talking about!" Connie was very dissatisfied with Quentin's attitude of evaluating others.

   "It's okay, it's okay, Comrade Quentin was just joking with us." Oscar stood up and smiled to ease the atmosphere.

  Villac took a closer look at the drowsy Quentin.

  This person should be the most difficult person to get along with, but to be selected by the Minister of Intelligence Charles, his ability must not be as simple as just now.

   "By the way, do the four of you know Bash?" Verak thought of an important question. If they don't know Bash, it will be more troublesome to carry out work in all aspects when they go to Bash.

"meeting."

"meeting."

"Um."

   "The Propaganda Department's selection criteria for candidates this time is to be able to speak Bash, otherwise I have no hope of coming here with everyone."

  The answers of the four surprised Verak a little, and with it came invisible pressure.

  They all know Bash, but not only did I fail to learn it, but it also delayed Comrade Clark's trip.

  If the inefficiency continues, how can I have the face to preside over the work leadership sub-station.

   "That's good." Verak made up his mind and redoubled his efforts in the days to come to master the application of Bash as soon as possible, so as not to hold everyone back.

   "By the way, Comrade Veraker, I have a question to ask you." Oscar looked at Veraker like an idol, "It's just that this question is not a serious matter, I don't know you..."

  Villac is trying to make everyone get acquainted and form a tight team so that they can work better in Bash, and of course he doesn't mind Oscar's question now: "It's okay, you ask."

"It's just... how come you and Chairman Chris look exactly the same? After I joined our organization, it took me a long time to distinguish you from Chairman Chris and figure out the relationship between you..." Oscar asked.

  This question is really not serious, but it is interesting enough.

  As soon as Oscar finished speaking, the other comrades present all looked at Verak in unison. Even Quentin, who had been acting bored all this time, raised his eyes curiously and focused on Verak.

"This..." Verac couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know why he looked exactly the same as Chris, and even his voice was the same, so that Boyin and Colin, who grew up with Chris at that time, didn't make any noise. "Actually, it can't be said that they are exactly the same. Chris is a little taller than me, and our personalities, habits, etc. are also different. As for why this face looks like the same person, I don't know."

   "Oh..." Verac's answer did not meet Oscar's expectations.

Verac was very open-minded and didn't put on airs with everyone. He immediately smiled and said: "I guess you are wondering if Chris and I are brothers, but I am an abandoned illegitimate child who was abandoned in the In the ghetto…”

   "To be honest, I have doubts." Stuart admitted generously.

   Seeing that Verac said it jokingly, Oscar nodded abruptly: "Many comrades around me guessed like this, otherwise it would be too coincidental..."

   "A lot of people think this way?!" Verak thought it was a temporary thought of a few people, but it turned out to be a widely circulated gossip.

   "Yes." Oscar said.

   "I've heard that too." Connie interjected.

   The silent Quentin slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

   "There is such a thing, I don't know at all, it seems that everyone has a deep misunderstanding of me. But... what if it is true?" Verak laughed.

   "Hahahaha, I thought so too..." Oscar was not surprised at all, and let go of his guess.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

  The others couldn't help laughing too.

   This train sailed to its destination amidst the laughter and warming up of the relationship among comrades.
