Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 412 Waiting for news

  July 22nd, late at night

  Bressy, Laizein, Equality Building, Office of the President of the International Equality Alliance

   "You must rest!"

  The doctor who was in charge of monitoring Boyin's physical condition for 24 hours was so angry that he almost proved that he was really angry by throwing a cup.

   During this time, he explained to Boin the necessity of countless rests, the severity of his illness, and the consequences of going on like this. However, Boyin always laughed it off, and generally maintained the previous work intensity.

   "Yes Chairman!"

   "Leave these tasks to us to handle."

  Other cadres in the office echoed.

  Boin, whose face was frighteningly pale, shook his head slightly, and tried to make a soft voice: "Only this night...can't sleep..."

   Now, Morais led his troops in Nanre City to resist the attack of the government army, and Joseph sent troops to surprise the government army's important hub, Puro City.

   Both of them must achieve a great victory tonight, otherwise the failure of Puluo City means that the counterattack has been frustrated, and the loss of Nanre City means the collapse of the southwest defense line.

  How could Boyin be able to sleep.

  He thought that no matter what situation the International Equality League would face after dawn, at least he would be able to stabilize the overall situation immediately.

   "Even if you go to rest for a few hours first? It won't delay the battle on the front line."

  ‘You just listen to Dr. Rolson! Everyone is very worried about your physical condition! '

   "Boom!"

  Lightning and thunder outside.

   "Why is it raining everywhere..." Boyin ignored the advice of his comrades and thought of things other than war. "The rain... is too heavy. You should remind and remind all ministries to prepare for disaster relief."

   "Don't worry, we have already arranged this matter! This is the first test we face, and we will definitely ensure the safety of the people!" said a cadre.

   "That's good..." Boyin's eyes reflected the gloomy sky outside with lightning from time to time, "We can't let the people down."

  —

at the same time

  Bash, Winterhold, Peace Street, Tavern

  After an afternoon and an evening of discussions, Quentin, Connie, Stuart, and Oscar decided on their respective tasks, and established the direction of Heping Street for the next nine days.

  Among them, Stuart is responsible for coordinating the settlers in Peace Street, eliminating conflicts among them, and making the road of unity unimpeded.

  Oscar is responsible for a series of publicity work to strengthen everyone's sense of struggle and unity, and promote the unity of Heping Street.

  Connie is responsible for contacting the two new settlers that Quentin was optimistic about before, expanding their strength, and focusing on cultivating several backbones.

  Quentin is responsible for the overall coordination and dispatch and coping with the inspection team.

   "Then arrange it like this, let's go." Oscar recorded his task content and plan in his notebook, and couldn't wait to use his strength.

   "It's so late, you go out, is there anyone outside?" Verak smiled, "Let's rest, we will officially start the operation tomorrow."

   "Exactly." Oscar pinned the pen on the notebook.

"After you go out tomorrow, don't be too ostentatious. You came to Heping Street without doing anything, and ran around all day to encourage everyone to fight against the patrol team. This can easily make some people vigilant and guess that we have ulterior motives." Quentin frowned. , always worried about the follow-up tasks, "What we have to do is to subtly influence everyone, so that everyone can take the initiative to seek help, seek advanced ideas, and ways of fighting."

  The settlers had a difficult life, and the continuous pressure from the inspection team made them extremely sensitive, and they did not want to have anything to do with the International Equality League.

   Even after encountering suspicious people, they would rather take the initiative to report to the patrol team in order to protect themselves.

   Therefore, the most urgent task for these people is to make these people let go of their guard against comrades who sincerely help them, and let them clearly realize that the emergence of the International Equality League will not lead to disasters, but will lead them to the dawn.

"To put it simply, we only have nine days. We need to be quick and have significant results every day, but at the same time we must be cautious to ensure our own safety." Stuart said in a way he understood, "If we Too eager to make something happen in the first place, that 100% scares the settlers away from us."

"Yes." Quentin admitted, "Among them, Comrade Oscar is the most difficult job. It is necessary to promote well and ensure that the public will not resist. The degree of control is just right, and it will be a great test for you. Big."

   "I will complete the task well." In his field of expertise, Oscar was unwilling to say anything depressing.

   "I don't know what's going on with Comrade Clark." Connie looked at Verak worriedly, hoping that Verak could provide them with some news about Clark.

Verak has stayed in the tavern today and has no contact with comrades from other sub-stations. Naturally, there is no way to arrange a secret guard for Clark, and there is no way to know his situation: "There are only two situations, there is danger, or it is advancing steadily. "

   "It must be making steady progress!" Oscar tended to expect optimistically.

   "It's good to think so, but we must face up to the danger. Say something that may scare you. At noon, it may be the last time we see Comrade Clark." Verak shrugged and wrote lightly.

"you…"

"We are in danger, and every action is life and death. It may be the last time I have seen in this life." Verak feels that these young comrades need to learn too much, but this is normal, not anyone Everyone has the opportunity to be like him, who has experienced other people's life in a year and has grown rapidly. "You must face things like Clark squarely, and be prepared for his sacrifice."

   "Understood." Quentin said immediately.

  The Intelligence Department is one of the departments with the highest comrade death rate in the International League of Equality. Quentin, who came out of here, has witnessed too many sacrifices made by comrades for precious intelligence.

  He has learned to see through life and death.

   "Understood." After speaking, Stuart pursed his lips, and his eyes changed again.

"clear."

"clear."

  Connie and Oscar tried to imagine that Clark had died, how they should endure the grief and continue this task.

After the instruction, Verak asked everyone to relax at the right time: "Of course, what I'm talking about is only a possibility that we cannot escape. The purpose of telling you is very simple, that is, I hope that you will not fall into a trap because of the sacrifice of any comrade in the future." We cannot extricate ourselves from the sadness. When faced with setbacks, we cannot sit on the ground forever and lick our wounds, let down those sacrificed comrades, and let their souls see our decadence and despair... Clark should be in no danger, and we will be able to I know the result."

   "Your companion..." Connie wanted to ask something, but she didn't know how to ask so as not to touch Verak's pain.

   "Are you trying to say, those companions I sacrificed?" Verak played a leading role and faced the problem head-on.

   "Hmm...I wonder how you were when they sacrificed."

"Many of my companions have died." Countless figures of people flashed through Veraker's mind. "Among them, there were about three times that made me saddest. The first time was that a companion I knew in prison was killed after he escaped from prison." The government caught me, and the people in the government tried all means to press him for my whereabouts, but he never compromised until his death. I once told him in prison that after I get out of prison, the thing I will fight for the rest of my life is to let all of you People live a peaceful and happy life. Before he died, he asked someone to tell me that I should fulfill the words I promised him in others.”

  Oscar was with Ross in the Propaganda Department, and he heard Ross talk about the details of this incident: "It's Mr. Dawn..."

"Well." Verak nodded, "The second thing is that when I went to the capital of Dunman to perform missions in the Old South Treaty, I helped the people there to set up a branch of the Equality Society with Chairman Boyne and Mr. Keating. There There is a group of lively people, each of them has their own dreams, and they all look forward to doing other meaningful things in a free and equal world after victory. Unfortunately, because of our negligence, it didn’t take long for them to be killed by Dunman The government's raid, the entire army was wiped out..."

Quentin, who is older, knows this: "The old South Treaty incident. Hundreds of comrades and innocent immigrants were sacrificed at that time, and thousands of people were imprisoned, which directly caused our revolutionary efforts in Dunman to return to the original point. .”

  Villac talked about the last one: "The third one is a close friend of mine. His name is Diaz, and he is the elder brother of Murphy who knows Montrego martial arts as I often tell you."

   "Yes." Connie listened carefully.

"Diaz's fighting skills are stronger than Murphy's, and I have learned a few tricks from him." Verac said, "We had planned to go to Montrego to liberate his hometown so that there would be no more wars in his hometown. and oppression. But before that day, he was surrounded by the enemy and sacrificed himself in order to cover the evacuation of other comrades during a mission. However, our commitment has not changed. When the situation in Bash improves, I will work with Diaz's younger brother, Murphy, join us and go to Montrego."

   "I'll go with you then!" Connie said.

"Okay, if conditions permit." Verac looked forward to that day, he believed that he and Murphy would not let Diaz down, "Almost digressed. What you want to ask is how I got out of sadness, right Right? The three things I just said gave me different feelings. The first one made me more ashamed, the second one made me blame myself, and the third one made me feel powerless. They bring The blows and traumas to me have been accumulating and accumulating, and finally one day I couldn't hold it anymore, I locked myself in the room, didn't feel like doing anything, and slept all day in a daze."

  There is one thing hidden deep in Verak's heart, which continuously brings him strength. He decided to share this strength with several people, so that they can continue to move forward bravely in the face of setbacks in the future.

"Mr. Keating couldn't stand it anymore. He found me and enlightened me a lot... But I have to be honest, those contents didn't have much influence on me. After all, it was the sacrifice of so many comrades. How could a few words change my state easily? What really got me thinking was that I went to visit Dawn's wife and daughter. He died for me, and I wanted to visit his family, do something for them, and ease the guilt in my heart. There, I saw Dawn's sleeping daughter. Looking at that very young and innocent child, I suddenly understood something. That is the person we are doing everything we can to protect."

  Every time Verak recalls that scene, there will be a warm current in his heart, dispelling his fatigue and healing his scars.

"Maybe, our generation has suffered too much trauma, it is difficult to heal, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to enjoy our own life in the future. But the next generation, their children, descendants and grandchildren still have the opportunity We may not be able to see it, but they will definitely be able to. Living in a brighter world since childhood, growing carefree without struggle, using limited life on more meaningful things, creating their own, and even the world of all mankind value."

  Verak thought that what he said was too difficult for these comrades in their early twenties to understand, because they could still be regarded as children. But the fact was on the contrary, and several people headed by Stuart burst into tears.

"It's great." Stuart was moved by Veraker's last words, "The reason why I betrayed my class and threw myself into the revolution was because once I was brushing shoes outside, I accidentally discovered that the shoe polisher was doing mathematics. In the few minutes he was brushing my shoes, I thought about how our lives would change if the two of us switched identities. If he has the support of my parents, he will be able to To shine in mathematics. What about me? What am I without the support of my family? I realized at that moment, it shouldn’t be. We should be united to make humanity great. Not Enslaved by these low-level desires, a large number of people will be in eternal misery."

"After thinking about these things, I think we can face up to the sacrifices of our companions while facing up to the danger." Verac saw a trace of Chris from Stuart, perhaps the former Chris was The mistakes of the world discovered by such occasional opportunities, "opening up a new world and building the new world better and better, this is the best consolation for the sacrificed comrades."

   "Boom boom boom."

   "Please come in." It could only be Comrade Victor disguised as a bartender who knocked on the compartment door, and Verac didn't hesitate.

   "Comrade Verak." After nodding to everyone, Victor whispered the information received by the substation to Verak.

Knowing that Morais and the others had stood firm for more than four hours in the torrential rain in Nanre City, Joseph also judged the situation and decisively launched an attack on Puro City. Verak opened his mouth slightly, and he recovered after a long time of digestion .

   "You all go to rest first."

   "What about you?"

   "I will stay in the cubicle tonight." Verac made the same choice as Boyne.
