Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 449 Untitled

   "New world..." Lopez murmured, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.

   "We, are we here?"

   "Then we are also considered members of the International Equality League?"

   "It's like dreaming..."

  Things developed so quickly and unexpectedly that the five young men who were just waiting to start a fierce battle with the soldiers sat in their seats and began to giggle.

The name of the International Equality League is too loud. When the governments and dignitaries of various countries heard its name, the hearts of the metropolis trembled and they felt fear, as if they had seen ferocious and terrifying demons and beasts, but they were in the eyes of the people. The impression is quite different.

  In the minds of the five people, the International Equality Alliance represents truth, invincibility, and a new world.

  Being able to join in and work with big figures who can only be seen in newspapers at ordinary times, to change and save their hometown is something that I dare not even think about.

   "Keep your voice down, don't be noticed." The reactions of several people drew the attention of other passengers, and Verak had to remind them.

   "Yes, be careful." Lopez was the first to calm down and told the other four to be silent.

"Murphy, change seats with the person next to you, and call Connie over to sit together." On the subsequent journey, the group must still get to know each other and discuss development. Verac simply asked Connie to come over and sit together. Move the other passengers aside to create a small 'safe zone' for your own people.

  Connie had been staring at this place before, and was ready to immediately cover Verak and hide in a safe place by herself in case of emergency. Especially when all those people surrounded her, she immediately planned how to deal with them in her mind, and only waited for the next second.

   But the result was unexpected. The group didn't do anything, but sat down and chatted with Veraker and Murphy in full swing.

   I don't know what method Verak used, but the crisis seems to be over.

   Connie breathed a sigh of relief.

   After Murphy and the other passengers coordinated the seat change, and pulled her over to sit down and introduce her, she finally understood what happened in the past ten minutes: "So, everyone is on their own."

  The title 'one of my own' made Lopez and the others very excited.

   "Okay, this is all of us now." With the addition of five new comrades, Verak believes that after waiting for the city of Montrego, many things will be much easier to unfold, "Next—"

   "Wait a minute." Lopez raised his hand, unable to believe it, "You mean it's just us?"

   "Yes." Verak nodded.

The joy didn't last long, and there was a trace of worry on the faces of Lopez and others: "Even if we add five of us, there are only eight of us in total... Just to ask you, the International Equality League has other assistance to Montrego ?"

   Lopez thought that a large number of people from the International Equality Alliance came, and like other countries, they would soon be able to stir up waves and stir up the situation.

   It wasn't until he confirmed that there were only three people in Veraker's party that he officially calmed down and thought about their way forward, that of Montrego.

"There is no other assistance for the time being." Virak said frankly, "The International Equality League currently has many sub-stations, and it is still engaged in a large-scale war with the government forces in Bresci. Both funds and manpower are very tight, and it is difficult to get out The strength is here. The most important thing is that we have never established a sub-station in Montrego and developed a revolutionary force. Even if we want to provide assistance, we must first establish a sub-station and clarify the route of the sub-station.”

   "Then let's establish it now. Anyway, there are people, and we will be able to reach the city of Montrego in a few days... Or are there any special requirements for establishing a sub-station?" De asked.

"The sub-station bears the heavy responsibility of affecting a city, a region, and even a country, and it is even more related to the lives of many comrades in the station. It is not because we say that it is established, and this will be done. Otherwise, we will not It’s been a long time since I developed Montrego.” Verac smiled wryly and shook his head, “I don’t know if you have heard about the Dunman sub-station of the International Equality League.”

   "You mean they were wiped out..."

Verak's expression remained unchanged: "Yes. That loss was heavy, and the reason for all this happened was that we did not adapt to local conditions, but just blindly copied Brecy's model with conceit. You all know the final result Now, Dunman has not been changed, and hundreds of comrades have sacrificed their precious lives... No one wants this scene to happen again, so the establishment of the sub-station and all actions of the sub-station need to be carefully considered, and all actions must be taken Carefully study and judge the local situation. Before this is achieved, it is irresponsible to everyone to establish a sub-station."

  After listening to Murphy's translation, the worries and fanaticism of the five Lopez members subsided a little.

  The things they did before were too small, so they habitually combined this simple and rude behavior with the power of the International Equality Alliance, thinking that it can be applied to other things.

  In fact, no road is easy. The higher you stand, the stronger your strength, so you should be cautious enough, because even the slightest mistake will be a huge disaster for comrades.

   This road is difficult to walk, let alone rush.

   "Then we..." Lopez wanted to know what they were going to do now, and what preparations they needed to make for the establishment of the substation.

"This brings me back to what I wanted to say." Verak said, "We have experienced and witnessed a lot of things along the way. This information is very important for us to establish sub-stations and establish directions, but the distance from the goal is still far away. It is very far away. Our trip to Menglege City is to sort out the big and small situations of Menglege in this place called the heart of Menglege, and to know what we are facing. After knowing what kind of enemy it is, and knowing how we should defeat such an enemy, we will plant the flag of the International Equality Alliance and prepare our strength."

When translating, Murphy added some of his own opinions and supplements: "Comrade Verac's words, to put it simply, are that the key to changing Montrego is not whether the International Equality Alliance will come or not. If only the International Equality Alliance can change everything , then the world will be completely over. The real decision is whether we can find the way. As long as we can see the enemy clearly and see the enemy's weakness, even if there is no International Equality League, there will eventually be a force to rise up and return Meng Le Brother peace and tranquility."

"Understood."

"Understood…"

   "The key is how to defeat them..."

  The five of them were thoughtful.

They don't have much culture, and their views are not as deep and experienced as Verac's and his party. It is precisely because of this that after they decided to make a revolution and fight against the forces that oppress and exploit them, they could only rob a few nobles and kill several nobles like headless chickens. A soldier who oppresses the people.

  If they hadn't met Veraker and his party on the train, their ending was completely predictable, and they would die in the next, or next, such action.

Lopez's chest fluctuated greatly, and he didn't bother to think about the deeper meaning of Verac and Murphy's words. His mind was full of the beautiful scene constructed from the solid planning of the other party step by step: "It's really lucky, I can meet you."

"In short, you should be clear that such a big thing can't be done overnight. We have to calm down and work steadily to open up the situation." Verak looked at the five people, "There is still a long way to go, let's talk about your experiences, And what you know about Antonio."

   "Okay." Lopez, as a representative, told Verac and his party in detail what they experienced in Laquimoto City.

  From Lopez's narration, Verac and others learned that the situation in Montrego can be called a reduced version of the international situation.

  Internationally, the conflicts between many established powers and emerging powers are becoming more and more acute. One side wants to curb the development of the other and safeguard its own huge interests, while the other wants to break through the blockade and vigorously expand.

  The warlords of more than a dozen parties in Montrego are also facing the situation of annexation and being annexed, thus giving birth to an intricate alliance.

Among them, Antonio, as one of the most powerful warlords, faced with many hostile forces coveting him, and the King Monlego who was only one step away, he did not hesitate to resort to military action and exhausted all the resources within his rule, crazily In order to recruit troops, raise food, and manufacture guns and ammunition, they attacked cities and territories one after another.

   If no one wants to be a soldier, then force it!

  If you don’t have enough food, then force it!

  If you don’t have a factory building or manpower, then force them to requisition!

   Countless people were pulled out of their relatively peaceful life by Antonio, and pushed into one war machine after another driven by his own ambition.

"De's elder brother was forcibly taken away to serve as a soldier, and Antonio only gave their family two thousand sou for relocation. Now the two thousand soo can't even make up for the expenses of a few meals, not to mention that now everyone doesn't have money. How do you recognize the Monleco currency, the main circulation is gold certificates, the two thousand cords are no different from white paper..." Lopez said indignantly.

   "I just wasn't at home that day, otherwise I would definitely have been arrested." De still doesn't know about his brother's situation, and no news has come back for several months.

Obrador, the tallest of the five, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm the only child in my family. My parents bribed the soldiers with all their wealth, so they didn't take me away. But my parents were still conscripted into the factory." Going to work for those **** for free..."

"He still wanted to rescue his parents, but we stopped him." Lopez sighed, "How could he bring his parents out of the heavily guarded factory with his bare hands, and where can he go after he is brought out... The result will only be that he was beaten to death by the soldiers, or he was also arrested and worked day and night..."

"The two of us are orphans, the more unlucky we are, the better off they are in the end." Yanez pointed to Muskis next to him, "When we heard that the higher-ups would force conscription, the two of us hid. The winery was also taken away, so we started a revolution with Lopez and the others.”

  Muskeys looked a little introverted: "I don't know if what we did before is considered a revolution..."

  Villac frowned and said, "Didn't Antonio's tyranny cause any decent resistance?"

"When Antonio first ruled Shalabah, he searched and arrested the people, proposed a policy of handing over guns for money and food, and promised to make Shalabah a crime-free state and prosper." Recalling these, Lopez couldn't help sneering, "Later, they used this to increase their strength, but the resistance of the people was greatly weakened. They couldn't beat them in the face of all kinds of unreasonable expropriation, and they didn't do it to the extreme. At least It also left a glimmer of life for people, causing many people would rather live than die standing..."

"There are means, no wonder it can become one of the most powerful warlords." Verak commented, "Objectively speaking, this is also beneficial to us. The people have the idea of ​​​​resistance, but they have no direction and no one to drive them. As long as we If we can open up the situation smoothly afterwards, we should be able to get a lot of people's response."

   "Does anyone around you know about the International Equality Alliance?" Murphy asked after translating.

  “Not many people know about the International Equality Alliance, but most of them have heard of the Equality Association.”

   "It hasn't been long since the Equality Association was changed to the International Equality League, which is normal. Those who know us, do they know what we do?" Murphy asked.

   For quite a period of time, major newspapers have smeared and demonized the Equality Association and the International Equality Alliance, which has given many people a wrong impression of them, which in turn has caused more resistance to their development.

  Menglege did not have a branch of the International Equality Alliance before, so it was unable to help the people of Menglege to recognize the truth. They want to establish a sub-station here to do things, and this also needs to be resolved urgently.

"I feel okay. I used to think that you were some kind of rebel organization, no different from Antonio in Montregori now, but things have gradually changed over time. For example, we think you are good people and are here to help. Our poor people." Lopez's words let everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

  The people of Montrego have a good impression of the International Equality Alliance, and there are many fewer obstacles in their path.

Verak breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, we have a preliminary understanding of everyone's situation and the situation of the various warlords in Montreco. Next, we can brainstorm and discuss some things after arriving in Montreco. "

   Arriving in Montrego City, all work will be in full swing, and the establishment of the sub-station will be prepared at full speed. In addition to having a certain degree of confidence in his own experience, Verak also values ​​the ideas of these locals.

   "Since you asked, I can briefly talk about my opinion..."

  In the carriage, a group of people began to chat quietly about the major events that would overturn Montrego in the near future.

  October 19, near evening

  The train drove into the capital of the Monrego Empire, which existed in name only, within two million square kilometers, the center of politics, economy, culture, transportation and so on—Monrego City.

In the whole of Montrego, more than half of the industrial, commercial, service and banking financial institutions are gathered here. However, at present, there is no warlord who has the courage and strength to occupy the city of Montrego and become the target of public criticism. Under the rule of the so-called Monrego Imperial Government, it became the only 'oasis' amidst the chaos.
