Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 401 Brexi Battle Situation

"To sum up, there are two ways for us to choose now." Verak's thinking became a little clearer, "The first way, we find a way to infiltrate the scavenger and directly steal the list. The second way, we infiltrate into other departments, Steal the list through the connection between other departments and the scavenger.”

"The difficulty of the former is not being able to infiltrate, and the difficulty of the latter is that it is difficult for other departments to get the list. We have to find a way after we get in." Cosmo said, "In fact, I think the difficulty of these two methods is not much different. It’s just that the latter needs to take one step at a time.”

   "Is there a third way?" Arseni smiled bitterly. He felt that neither of these two methods could be implemented.

"Yes." Dai Qian boldly put forward her own thoughts, "I think Maxim is really powerful, he protected the scavenger so well that we couldn't attack him, but there is one thing he can't let go of, that is his Superiors. If we can directly control his superiors, then it will be logical to obtain the list through the hands of the superiors."

  Verak denied it before coming up: "Who is Maxim's superior?"

"Minister of Security." Cosmo replied, "Although the scavenger formed by Maxim only targets the International Equality Alliance, due to our danger, the government has given him a lot of privileges, making him almost as good as the Minister of Intelligence. Sit on an equal footing, and take orders directly from the Minister of Security..."

"It stands to reason that the higher the status, the less likely it is for people to fall to us, because they already have everything and should maintain what they have." Verak analyzed, "Unless we can throw out enough benefits, Or there is a way to force the Minister of Security to stand in a united front with us, otherwise it would be impossible to get the list through this way.”

   "Well... I think that as long as you are a human being, you must have weaknesses." Daisy understood what Verak said.

  Verak took a look at the information he had sorted out: "The information we have now is still too little, and we need more and more in-depth information."

   "We don't have enough manpower, and it will take some time to be more comprehensive." Cosmo knew that Verak smoked, so he took out a cigarette case and distributed one to several people.

   "You don't need to rush the time. When the new comrades have almost exercised, let's find out everything we need to know." Verak took the cigarette and lit it.

  The five of them swallowed together.

"Okay, let's continue to check like this. I dare not say for a few days, but in ten days and half a month, I can guarantee that we will have a big harvest." The basement is very unobtrusive, so Cosmo opened the door a little, for air circulation.

   "By the way, I have a few letters that I would like to entrust you to pass on to Laizein." After the conversation came to an end, Verak remembered the letter he wrote yesterday.

   "I'll get it." The letter was handed to Dai Qian yesterday, and Dai Qian got up and searched for several letters in the suitcase, and handed it to Cosmo.

  Cosmo took the letter, scanned the content and the person to send it to: "Okay, I'll give the letter to the comrades at the telegraph station, and let them pass the news back."

   "Okay, thanks."

  July 18, 11:30 am

  Bressi, Laizein, temporary school grounds

   "Slow down! Attention!"

   "Shoot!"

   "Run forward!"

   "Bang bang bang! bang bang! bang bang bang!"

   "Report the number!"

  On the huge school grounds, dust was flying, shouts were loud, and the recruits scattered into strands were receiving training from the instructors supported by Bash.

"The next step is the training of first aid in the field!" Bash instructor said loudly, and the comrade in charge of the translation converted it into Bresci and said it to the recruits, "That's right! At that time, there will be special training for You are equipped with professional medical soldiers! But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly! In case your comrades, or yourself, are injured! The medical soldiers are difficult to arrive in time! At this time, your first aid literacy is the key to whether you and your comrades can survive... "

  Among the new recruits, Nord, who was tall and straight, wore the plain green uniform of the Equality Army, and carefully watched the first-aid demonstration made by the instructor.

   Half an hour later, the field rescue training was completed, and Nord and several recruits who were selected for spot check results all completed the relevant assessments excellently.

   Then, the whistle rang throughout the school grounds.

  This is the end of the morning training for the recruits.

   After queuing up to report the number, Nord disbanded with the team and went to the cafeteria to eat.

   "Comrade Nord! Comrade Nord!"

   When Nord was going to meet Catherine, his wife who was a medical soldier, a comrade from the intelligence department blended into the crowd, calling him around.

   "I'm here! What's the matter?!" Nord turned around and met the comrade.

   "Are you Comrade Nord?" asked Comrade Intelligence.

   "It's me, what's wrong?"

   "This is the letter that Comrade Verak sent back to you from Bash." Comrade from the Ministry of Intelligence handed a letter to Nord.

   "Verak's letter? For me?" The tired Nord smiled.

"Yes."

   "Okay, thank you." Nord, who received the letter, couldn't wait to open it and look through it.

  【Dear Nord:

How have you been? Are you still used to training? What about newlywed life?

   I've been coming to Bash for a while. Although the situation here is not optimistic, they are already organizing to solve the problems one by one. I believe it won't be long before Winterhold will also light the torch of equality and lead the entire Bash to welcome the new students.

  Besides you, I wrote to Chairman Boyne, Mr. Keating, Comrade Winston, and Murphy. I am concerned about your safety when you are about to go to the battlefield, and I am also concerned about the physical condition of Chairman Boyne, the operation of Mr. Keating and Murphy's club school, and the progress of Comrade Winston's experimental factory.

  …

  I am far away in Bash, and I can no longer take care of you like before. Fortunately, in my eyes, you are no longer a young and energetic younger brother, but a mature and stable man.

  …

  I have been following the battle situation of Blessie all the time, and I expected that you must be on the battlefield soon, so I hurriedly wrote this letter to you. The original intention of writing this letter is to tell you to pay attention to safety. But war and security are antonyms. How can you be safe on the battlefield? But you still have to be more careful, be careful of stray bullets, be careful of artillery.

  …

   All right, this is the end of the letter. Give my regards to Lady Catherine, I wish you a safe trip, and I will see you at dawn.

  Best friend Most Verak]

  Nord stood in the middle of the crowded school field and read the letter. He grinned and put the letter away. He found his wife Catherine in the cafeteria, told her about the letter written by Veraker, and conveyed his greetings.

   "Would you like to write a letter to Comrade Verac to tell you about your recent situation?" Catherine suggested.

   "I'll write after I finish eating." Nord calculated, if he didn't take a lunch break today, he would have more than enough time to write letters, "How is your day today?"

"Still the same, continue to learn some medical knowledge. But I heard that some more in-depth content will be arranged soon. After finishing those studies, I should go to the front to support comrades." Catherine put the meat on her dinner plate Clip to Nord.

   Nord quickly declined: "Don't, don't, you eat what you eat."

   "You are so tired from training every day, you should eat more meat." Catherine picked up the meat that Nord had brought back.

   "I've had enough, you should eat more, come on." Nord grabbed all his own meat.

  The two came back and forth, suddenly their hands stopped, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

   "Eat, let's eat." Nord smirked, and stuffed vegetables into his mouth.

   "Eat more." Catherine insisted on giving Nord the meat.

Suddenly, an officer rushed into the cafeteria and shouted loudly: "Comrades from the 11th to 20th Battalions of recruits! Hurry up and eat! After eating, go back to the dormitory to pack your luggage! The whole school will gather in 15 minutes! Comrades from the 11th Battalion to the 20th Battalion of Recruits! Hurry up and eat! After eating, go back to the dormitory to pack your luggage! The whole school will gather in 15 minutes! The first recruits..."

   "What's the matter?" Catherine's face changed, and Nord was a member of the 11th Battalion of Recruits.

   "I don't know." Nord's smile disappeared in an instant. He picked up the plate and picked up the food quickly, and said vaguely, "There should be an emergency, otherwise I wouldn't pack my luggage..."

   "Battalion Commander! What's the situation?!" A recruit who was close to the officer asked about the situation.

"The front line needs support! Hurry up! Hurry up!" The officer just said, "The front line needs support", but how urgent is the situation? It is so sudden to gather their group of recruits who have not yet completed their training and send them to the On the front line, everyone has a vague idea.

   "I'm going to the front line!" Catherine repeated to Nord what the instructor said publicly not far away.

  Nord had heard it, and he devoured half of the rice on the plate: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

   "But we haven't notified our medical soldiers to leave." Catherine wants to go to the front with Nord, so that she can take care of Nord's danger.

   "It's okay, you guys definitely need to study for a while longer." Nord pushed all the meat onto Catherine's plate, "We will still meet at that time."

   "But you haven't finished training yet..."

"It's okay, practice while fighting on the battlefield!" Nord swept away the rest of the food, his mouth was stuffed, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Catherine, he only uttered a vague syllable of "take care of yourself", and stayed A figure from the back ran towards the outside of the cafeteria along with other recruit comrades.

   "Slow down!" Catherine wanted to get up to deliver, but failed to get up. Unknowingly, her eyes were flushed, and her gaze moved away from the cafeteria door and returned to the dinner plate.

   After giving in to each other for a long time, Nord still didn't eat a piece of meat, and piled all the meat on her dinner plate.

at the same time

  Leizein, Equality Building, in the conference hall

  The atmosphere in the conference hall is dignified, and from time to time, people walk in and out quickly to convey and give orders.

  "The government army is still sending more troops to the vicinity of Nanre City. If the Fourth Infantry Division led by Comrade Morais doesn't try to break out of the siege, I'm afraid it will be destroyed within a few days..."

"Currently the closest to the 4th Infantry Division are the 1st Cavalry Division and the 7th Infantry Division. However, the 7th Infantry Division needs to sit on the river bank and beware of government forces intruding from the southwest. On the plain, the highly mobile government army will be unstoppable and approach Laizein. The cavalry division can arrive in time, but the terrain near Nanre City is complex, which is not conducive to the marching and combat of the cavalry division, so the cavalry division is rashly dispatched Assisting Comrade Morais to break out of the siege, it is very likely that the cavalry division will also be trapped."

  A group of cadres gathered in front of the sand table to explain the current frontline situation.

  Boin sat, gazing at the government army flags planted around Nanre City in the sand table, and a solitary flag of the International Equality League under the siege: "Joseph, Adel, what do they think?"

"Comrade Joseph means that Morais and the others will hold on first, and then they will launch a counter-offensive to capture the city of Puluo to share the pressure for them, and then the two places will cover each other to resist the attack of the government army. Comrade Adel suggested to gather troops and Nanre City fought a crucial battle with the government forces, which not only rescued the 4th Infantry Division, but also opened up the situation and severely defeated the government forces." An officer replied, "The latter is very risky. If we win, we will There will be time to breathe, and we can even step by step to put pressure on the government forces and contain their offensive. If we lose, our situation will be even worse, and our troops will have to shrink again and again to resist the government forces with higher morale..."

   "How long can Morais and the others last?" Boyne asked again.

   "Comrade Morais estimates that it will take five to seven days. After that, even if the government forces use shells, they will be able to raze Nanre City to the ground." The officer said.

   Boyin leaned on a cane and stood up tremblingly: "The recruits are assembled?"

   "We are gathering, if we rush non-stop, we will be able to reach the front line tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow."

"Whether it is to counterattack Puro or fight a tough battle in Nanre, we are in urgent need of troops. This group of recruits can solve their urgent needs." Boyin thought of Morais being surrounded now, and his heart was heavy, "... said To be honest, I am not good at military matters, I have already handed over such a major decision-making power to Joseph, so I still support his decision unconditionally."

   Comrades from various ministries looked at the weak Boyin.

  His views on military affairs are far less precise and profound than Joseph and the others, so choosing to trust Joseph is the best choice.

"Go and inform Joseph." Boyin wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, "I fully support all his decisions. If you retreat, you will retreat. I believe we will fight back in the future. Just hit, let go, don't worry. what."

   "Yes!" The officer went out.

  A comrade from the Ministry of Intelligence passed him by and saluted Boyne with an envelope: "Chairman! This is a letter from Comrade Veraker!"

   "Bring it here." Sitting down, Boyin took the envelope and opened it, looking at the contents of the letter.

  The letter was mainly concerned about Boyin's body, and then made a more detailed report on the situation of the Bash Revolution.

  Looking at it, Boyin had a smile on his face.

  Bash has Verak sitting in command over there, slowly re-gathering strength.

   "Cecil." When he saw Nord mentioned in the letter, Boyne thought of something, and asked the cadre who had transferred the recruits, "Is Nord also among the recruits sent to the front this time?"

   "You mean the newly married Comrade Nord?"

"right."

   "Yes, he is also among the recruits this time."

  Boin opened his mouth slightly, subconsciously wanting to say something, or ask someone to take care of Nord, or call him back, but in the end, he couldn't say the words: "...OK."
