Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 486 Public Opinion War (7)

  Laizein Daily, Editor-in-Chief Office

   "Editor-in-Chief."

   "What's the matter?" Editor-in-Chief Byron asked a little impatiently.

  For the first time, he felt that Capa had so many things to do.

  In his memory, this person had a pitifully low sense of existence before, even when he met him, it took him several seconds to barely recall his name.

   "I still... still want my family to leave Laizein." Capa said.

"Didn't I tell you about this? Lezein is actually the safest place. They are as safe as us. If the International Equality League can move them, it is equivalent to having the ability to move us. Then what do you say?" Why don't they come to us directly, but to your wife and your children?" Editor-in-chief Byron repeated what he said yesterday.

"Actually, it's not because of safety issues. I'm very relieved. Besides, I'm an ordinary reporter. No matter what, people from the International Equality League will not target my family. I... because, because..." Capa looked He was so awkward that he couldn't speak the second half of the sentence.

   "Say it, grind it out." Editor-in-chief Byron urged.

   "It's a long story..." Capa looked around, moved his footsteps, and sat in front of the editor-in-chief Byron, "Before... four or five years ago, I went to Orondo."

   "Um...and then?" Editor-in-Chief Byron made no secret of his perfunctory tone.

   "Then I met a beautiful girl there, we hit it off, just, just..."

   "What's the matter?" Editor-in-Chief Byron became interested.

   Capa showed an awkward smile: "We are together."

   "Wait, wait, you married your wife four or five years ago, and you have children?"

   "...yes, so, so..."

   "This is your lover." Editor-in-chief Byron slapped his thigh and gave sex.

   "Uh... that's right, mainly, mainly, she, she doesn't know that I'm married, and always thinks that I work alone in Laizein."

  Byron, the editor-in-chief, leaned back: "I didn't see it, you still hide such a thing."

   Capa understood the true meaning of these words: I didn't see that you were such a person.

   "Then you keep trying to get your wife and children away from Laizein, has something to do with this?"

"Yes, it's because of my lover, she wants to come to Laizein to stay with me. I persuaded many times, but she just wants to come. You said she came here now and bumped into my wife. What should I do? Then I'm all over..." Capa spread his hands and said with a bitter face.

   "So you want to take away your wife and children on the grounds that Laizein is not safe, and then let your lover come to live with you in Laizein."

   "Yes, this is the only way to do it now."

"Then this is not a long-term solution." The editor-in-chief Byron's eyes were inexplicably a little more appreciative, "Let me share my experience, this kind of thing can be messed up, but it is best to use a fake identity, so that in the end If no one can find you, you will always be safe. How could you be so foolish as to tell others about your situation, it would be strange if they didn't take the initiative to find you."

   Capa nodded in agreement: "You are right. If you understand this earlier, it won't be such a trouble. The problem is that now I can only procrastinate like this, and I will find a reason to let her go back after a while."

"I understand you about this, but because of your personal emotional problems, it may be troublesome to make such an adjustment... Think about it, if you can use this reason to arrange for your family to leave tomorrow, will others be able to do the same because of this? Such a reason to get all the family members out? If I disagree, do I have to say behind my back that I am partial?" Editor-in-chief Byron was in a dilemma, "I don't doubt you, I'm just using an analogy, in case many people go out like this, Some people have lost their worries and turned to the International Equality Alliance, who will bear the responsibility?"

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but if I hadn't been forced into a situation where my family was ruined, I would definitely not bother you. You can see if this is okay. Let's do this in secret. Anyway, no one else knows about my family. The specific situation. In addition, I can guarantee my life. I have absolutely no other ideas. If you are worried, you will withhold my next salary. When will my wife and children come back? When will you pay me half and the rest? It’s your hard work.” Capa looked sincere, and bribed Byron with half of his salary.

"It's easy! Can I ask for your money? Although this matter is really difficult, but you have been working in the newspaper for so long, you are considered mine, and I will approve this!" Editor-in-chief Byron waved his hand, looking for The approval slip was issued and written on it.

Capa knew that Byron's first half sentence was just to be polite, otherwise he would not have emphasized the difficulty of this matter later, so he insisted immediately: "You must keep the money, if you don't take it, I will be ashamed to ask you for help in the future. "

"You're just too far-fetched, okay, then I'll keep it." Editor-in-chief Byron was afraid that Kappa would really stop giving him any more money if he refused for another round, so he readily agreed, "You When are you going to let them go?"

   "The sooner the better, lest you run into it in time." Capa's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were fixed on the note.

"Then let's do it today." Editor-in-chief Byron finished writing quickly, and handed the note to Capa, "Remember, you can't tell other people about this matter in the newspaper office, and when your lover comes, tell him Let me tell you, we still have to arrange soldiers to provide protection."

"Understood, don't show any weakness to the International Equality Alliance!" Capa readily agreed, and took advantage of the situation to inquire about the prison situation, "By the way, the editor-in-chief, is the prison still not working? I really think this is a wonderful angle." , if a few such reports can be published, it will definitely arouse even greater repercussions."

   "This matter is quite complicated, so don't think about it for the time being. I will arrange for you to go if there is a result. Alright, hurry up and deal with your private affairs."

  Out of the newspaper office, Capa staggered and almost fell.

  He was holding on throughout the entire process just now. If he hadn't been very clear that his family's life might be in danger if there was an omission in the disguise, he would have been unable to show his secrets.

   "Are you all right?" Two soldiers came to help.

   "It's okay, thank you." Capa, who was pale, shook his head.

   "Where are you going? We follow you."

   "I'm going home."

  Under the **** of soldiers, Capa returned home, while his wife Clementine was waiting with her daughter Dorothy and son Matt.

  When she saw Capa's impatient expression, she knew immediately that their plan had succeeded.

   "Go back to your room and play." Clementine dismissed the two children.

   "Success!" Capa watched the children return to the room and closed the door, and then whispered excitedly.

   "Didn't your chief editor become suspicious?" Things went so smoothly, Clementine was a little worried.

  Capa handed the approval note to Clementine: "No, he even suddenly felt that I share his stink, and became more enthusiastic about me."

   "Then we—"

   "Pack up your things now, and I'll send you out of town."

  Although this was all discussed last night, at this moment, Clementine still felt too sudden: "You..."

"Don't worry about me. On the contrary, you left Laizein. The road to Leliste City must be difficult, not to mention you have children with you." Capa felt very guilty, he broke the stability with his own hands, " However, I still hope that you can arrive in Leicester City as soon as possible, hand over the evidence I captured to the International Equality League, and let them quickly send a comrade to pretend to be my lover to assist me in continuing to investigate and collect evidence."

   "If the evidence is published in the newspaper, will it be found out that you took the pictures?" Clementine confirmed.

"Don't worry about this. I took this into consideration when I was shooting, and deliberately found some tricky angles, so it would look like a passer-by." Capa held Clementine's hand and gave her The only little sense of security.

   "The exposed evidence is all photos of you present, the newspaper will still suspect you, or..."

   Clementine didn't think of these things last night.

   When they were about to leave, they all popped out of their minds one by one uncontrollably, as if they deliberately prevented her from leaving, and wanted her to regret supporting Capa.

   "Don't worry, I will act carefully. Afterwards, people from the International Equality League will come and cover each other with me. It will only be safer." Capa smiled to comfort his wife.

   "Can't we really stop? Let's just pretend nothing happened." Clementine burst into tears.

  A very strong intuition told her that if she left this time, she would lose her husband forever.

   But she dared not tell Capa her unfounded feelings.

   "I will live on, and I will create a world for the children that they like. I think this is the best gift I can give them as a father." Capa's belief has not wavered.

   After a while, Clementine's mood eased a lot, and the two packed their luggage together.

   "Dorothy, Matt, come out."

   "Mom, where are we going?" the well-behaved and lovely Dorothy asked childishly, raising her head.

   "We're going to a very fun place." Clementine touched Dorothy's head and smiled.

   "Is dad going?" Dorothy looked at Capa.

Capa knelt down, kissed the foreheads of the two children, and looked at his two children softly. They were still young and didn't understand what they were facing: "Dad won't go there for now, but he will bring candies soon, The dolls and toys are looking for you."

  —

Standing in front of the train station, watching his wife and children board the train, they will first go to Kip City, and then secretly to Leliste City, Capa felt endless loneliness in his heart, but he did not express it at this last moment Come out, resisting to wave to the gradually leaving train.

  Until his arm was sore and he could no longer swing it, he reluctantly looked away from the end of the railway line where the train had long disappeared, turned around and went straight to the newspaper office under the guard of soldiers.

   Next, he will be in the government's territory, fighting with the International Equality League.

   But before that, he still needs to stand alone for a while.

  The length of this period depends on when his wife, Clementine, arrives in Leicester to hand over the evidence to the International Equality League and seek support.

   "Really reluctant to part with them?" Seeing that Capa's state was a little sluggish, the soldier asked.

   "A little bit."

   "The children are still so young, and you are willing to send them away. Could it be that you have no confidence in Laizein and think we can't protect you?" the soldier joked.

  Kappa's heart tightened, and he stopped expressing his true emotions casually: "No, this matter is a bit complicated, and I will explain it to you when I have a chance."

  —

  Leizein, Cemetery of Martyrs

   "No one is allowed to come near here! Please keep your distance!"

   "No one is allowed to come near here! Please keep your distance!"

  The cemetery where Boyne, Morais, Nord, Diaz and others were buried was surrounded by government legions.

   "Company commander, we've been here for a week, what are we waiting for?" An adjutant paced back and forth in front of the main entrance of the cemetery.

  Captain Akers, who was in charge of guarding the martyrs cemetery, put his hands in the pockets of his coat, squinted his eyes and said, "The higher-ups suspect fraud, so don't rush to move here."

  The adjutant walked up to Captain Akers and stopped: "Fraud? What kind of fraud can a cemetery have? Deceitful corpse? Hehe..."

   "Don't you think it's reasonable that they didn't do any protection for such an important place as the International Equality League?" Captain Akers was not amused by the adjutant's clumsy joke.

   "It's a bit weird." The adjutant tremblingly handed Captain Ax a cigarette, and tremblingly picked one up himself.

  "Until we find out the real purpose of the International Equality Alliance, we can only stand by like this."

   "If it weren't for winter, I would be happy to just stand like this." The adjutant took a deep breath of cigarettes, turned his head to look at the cemetery, and continued to make bold jokes, "It's such a cold day, it's better to burn this place down."

  Captain Akers was unmoved, and said indifferently: "I think you are frozen crazy."

   "Why is this place so boring?"

   "Are you bored? If the International Equality League really set up some kind of trap here, then someone should be secretly watching our every move right now." Captain Akers lighted his cigarette unhurriedly.

  The adjutant was vigilant when he heard this, and then laughed nonchalantly: "We have searched the surrounding area closely, and there will be no one."

  Captain Akers said: "This is not certain. The search team has been searching for how many days, and there is nothing to gain. It is said that the people of the International Equality League disappeared out of thin air?"

   "That's because they don't have the skills. We would definitely catch a lot of them." The adjutant was full of confidence.

   "Perhaps." Captain Akers smiled.

"boom!"

  Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and years of combat experience allowed the two to quickly hide behind the nearest bunker.

"boom!"

"boom!"

   "People from the International Equality League are here! Be careful everyone! Be careful everyone!" The soldiers shouted in a panic and started shooting indiscriminately towards the front.

"Idiot! If the International Equality League comes to attack, will there be only sporadic gunshots?! The enemy is no more than two people, capture them alive!" After judging by the gunshots that the enemy is probably not a member of the International Equality League, The adjutant, who was so happy that he was about to scream, walked out of the bunker with a sullen face.
