Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 170 Training Course

   As soon as Verac bid farewell to Chris and Colin and got into the car, Elizabeth immediately started the car and drove towards the terminus. He was sitting in the co-pilot, looking at the cemetery fading away in the rearview mirror: "Can you tell me about the poem written by Chris called Internasional?"

   "Don't you know?" Elizabeth regained her composure.

   "I haven't heard of it." Verak said.

"stand up."

"Um?"

"Hungry and cold slaves. Arise, sufferers all over the world." Elizabeth dictated the poem. "The blood is boiling for the truth! The old world is in ruins, slaves! Arise! Don't say we have nothing. , We want to be the masters of the world! This is the final struggle, united until tomorrow, Internaxionell must be realized. This is the final struggle, united until tomorrow, Internaxionell must be realized accomplish!"

  Villac quickly came to his senses and realized that what Elizabeth said was the content of "Internationale". He quietly listened to Elizabeth's words, and was aroused by the last sentence "Internationale must come true": "What is Internationale?"

   "I said, Chris wrote the poetry."

"No, I mean, in poetry, what does Internasional refer to, what is to be achieved?" Of course Verac knew it was Chris's poem, and what he wanted to know was, poetry Rick What Reese is portraying.

"...I don't know." Elizabeth still can't understand many things in the Equality Society, and she naturally doesn't understand Chris's poem, "This poem is more than that, I only remember a small part, so I will tell you .”

  Villac had no choice but to stop asking, and went back to Morais to ask for a copy of the entire poem "Internasional". As the name on Chris's tombstone, this name must be very important to him.

   More than an hour later, the car drove back to the hotel next to the casino for members of the Equality Society.

"If you really want to understand Chris, then consider the advice I gave you before." Before leaving, Verac finally said to Elizabeth, hoping that Elizabeth would not join blindly, but after knowing Chris' thoughts , make your own real choices.

   "...um." Elizabeth hesitated and nodded.

  Verak got out of the car, and when he went up to the sixth floor to go back to his room, he found Nord wandering in front of his door.

  Nord also saw Verak for the first time, stepped forward and said, "I thought you were asleep, and knocked on the door for a while."

   "Didn't I say that I will go to see Colin in the afternoon." Verak opened the door, and Nord went in and sat down, "What? What do you want me to do?"

   "Isn't this boring? I don't like staying in the house all the time." Nord's problem arose when he was placed under house arrest by the Thomas family. At that time, he was locked in a room for more than a month, and he could only see a sliver of light every day through the gaps in the wooden boards nailed to the windows. Since then, he no longer likes to stay in the room for a long time.

   "...you go and call them all over and discuss something." Having seen Colin, Veraker has let go of his worries, and then he will devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of the Equality Society and contribute his power to change the world.

  As soon as Nord heard Veraker's meaning, he knew that there must be some action, and immediately stepped out and called Keating, Diaz, and Murphy in.

Soon, five people sat around in the living room of Veraker's room, and Veraker poured a glass of water for them one by one: "The current big problem is that, except for me and Mr. I just joined the Equality Association. This means that we are all members of the Equality Association, but our motivations and purposes for staying here are different."

   "You want us to make a formal choice, right?" Diaz asked sitting upright.

"There is no doubt that I want you to stay, because you here are my few reliable companions. But the most important thing is up to you, and I cannot interfere with your decisions. In the next few days , I will take the three of you to deeply understand why the Equality Society was founded and what kind of world we are pursuing. By then, you will have a clear understanding of everything you have done, and then make a decision." Verac said.

   After he finished speaking, he realized that the composition of the current members of the Equality Association is very complicated. There is Elizabeth who joins for her lover, and Nord and Diaz who join for companions.

  In the short term, their original intention may not have any impact on equality, but it will definitely become a big trouble in the future.

   When there is no love, no friendship, will they stay?

  The future new world that the Equality Society is determined to open up will of course include these, but it is not limited to this, because these are integrated with each other and cannot be separated. If you only join for your own love, friendship, or other purposes, how can everyone unite and work together to find the answer that embraces everything?

  Verak doesn't want most members of the Equality Council to have the same thoughts as them. That's not wrong, but it's definitely not correct.

"Eh? Verak, why don't you just start the training class that the Equality Association was planning to arrange?" Nod's eyes lit up, remembering that the training class planned by the Equality Association was quite similar to what Verak said. It would be better if they fit together.

"Shall I bring a training class..." Verak remembered what Nord said when he picked him up. The Equality Meeting did plan to hold a training class some time ago, focusing on training a group of new members and training them into backbones. "I haven't Thinking so far, I am not sure that I can lead so many people well.”

   "Teaching us is teaching, teaching them is also teaching." Nord felt that this matter was very feasible, and urged Verak to implement it.

  Verak pondered for a long time, thinking for a long time: "... If there is a chance during this time, then I will go talk to Morais and try."

   Now Verac doesn't want to escape, there are things he wants to fight for.

   "Sure." Nord didn't know anything, but out of trust in Verak, he wasn't worried about it at all.

   "Heh." Verak chuckled.

He had given lectures to the backbone of the Equality Association before, and had an in-depth discussion of "Theory of Equality" with Boyne and others. At that time, he benefited from his familiarity with the content of "Theory of Equality" In the correspondence between Reese and Francis, no one in the Equality Club could see that he was a fake.

   It is precisely because of this that after the news that he is a fake Chris spread among the cadres of the Equality Association, it caused an uproar, almost subverting the cognition of all of them.

"Murphy." Verac looked at Murphy, who was less talkative than Diaz. Murphy had short brown curly hair, and his face was younger than Nord's, but there was a steady look between his brows that didn't match his age. Because he was recovering from a serious illness, he was still in the feeling of gradually waking up, "Today is the first time we meet, I am very glad that you are recovering, and I am also very happy to see you."

   "I'm glad to meet you, too." Murphy stood up stiffly when he heard Verac calling his name.

   "Sit down, sit down." Verak greeted the young man to sit down, "Among the five of us, you should be the youngest."

   "Yes, Nord is two years older than me." Murphy sat down while speaking Bresci word by word.

  Verak made a calculation in his mind, and said with emotion: "Then you are only twenty, and you are still very young. When I have time, I have to find you two brothers to learn the fighting skills of Montrego."

  Diaz smiled at the side: "Anytime."

"In my eyes, you are all young." Keating said, "This is also the first time I have met you, and I am very honored. together."

   "You're welcome." Diaz bowed politely to Keating, and Murphy followed suit.

"Yeah, I heard from Verac that you are very powerful. You used to be the minister of the Bresci Empire, and you are still close friends with King Ravel." Nord has never dealt with such a big person, even though Keating has long been a prisoner , just escaped from prison, "It is an honor for us to know you."

   Keating shook his head and looked at Verak with a smile: "There is no need to mention the past. Now we are all members of the Equality Association. It is good to just focus on the current identity and the future."

   "Well, you don't have to be so polite. I called everyone here just to get to know each other and get to know each other well. We will inevitably help each other in our future work." Verak signaled them to relax a bit.

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

  Verak got up and went to open the door: "Comrade Morais."

   "Well, everyone is here." Morais rushed over after finishing his work, "I arranged for Elizabeth to pick you up to visit Colin, have you gone?"

   "I've been there, and I just came back not long ago. Don't call everyone here to get to know each other, and work together better in the future." Verac brought Morais to the living room.

Morais sat on the sofa, because everyone knew him, so he didn't make any introduction: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that after we learned that it was your fake Chris, we also built a building for Chris. Tomb, in the same cemetery as Colin's."

   "I went to see Colin when I went to see it." Verac said.

   "Because it was just an empty tomb, I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I think about it, it should be quite meaningful to you." Morais took a sip of the water Verak poured for him.

   "Speaking of this matter, I still have something I want to ask you."

"what?"

  Villac told Morais what he had seen and heard in the cemetery in the afternoon: "On Chris's tombstone, only 'Internasional' is written. Elizabeth said that this is a poem written by Chris before his death."

"Yes, I personally think that this is Chris's greatest work other than the theory of equality. This poem is tragic and magnificent. It records our bloodshed and sacrifice, and it is of great significance to the equality society. Because of his special status, in In the current sensitive period, his real name cannot be used, so we engraved the name of his most important poem on the tombstone." Morais explained the reason.

"When I came back, Elizabeth told me a part of the poem. I was very impressed by one of the lines, 'Internationale must come true'. What does the Internaxie mean here? It is us Is the new world that equality will aspire to?" Verak asked.

   "It can be said that." Morais said, "It refers to our ideal, the answer we are pursuing, the new world."

Verac is extremely curious about "Internationale", the phrase "Internationale must be realized", in his opinion, even if it is just stated directly, it is like a loud cry , The power contained in it is too great, he was deeply shocked just after listening to Elizabeth read a part: "I want a copy of the entire content of this poem."

   "That's simple. I still have several copies in my office. Just go and get them later." This was nothing to Morais, and he responded casually.

   "There is still something about the training class." Nord reminded Verak.

   "What?" Morais was puzzled.

Verac glanced at Nord, who was eager for him to give a lecture: "I heard that the Equality Association had prepared a training class before and planned to train some backbones, but because the relationship between you and Chloe is now very tense, the training class has been put on hold. "

"There is such a thing." As soon as the stubborn Chloe was mentioned, Morais felt uncomfortable, "Since you were arrested, the Equality Association has suppressed the government many times and spread the theory of equality under pressure. Its influence has reached an unprecedented height, and it has attracted a large number of members to join, and the four districts now have more than 20,000 members."

   "Twenty thousand people?" Verak couldn't believe it.

  Before he left, the Equality Association had just experienced heavy losses not long ago, and only a thousand people survived. Unexpectedly, their number expanded to more than 20,000 in just a few months! If the peace talks are abandoned next, and the original plan is followed, and the influence is increased again through the World Expo, the number of members may double again!

"Well, don't worry, although there are a lot more people, we haven't arranged for these people to do anything, just let them understand some concepts." Morais cut back to the topic, "In short, because we are worried that people from the government will be mixed in Inside, we have never dared to formally recruit them rashly, so we considered cultivating a group of backbones, and let them be responsible for gradually screening them, and gradually accepting new members to strengthen our strength. Unfortunately, because of a conflict between me and Chloe, There are constant internal problems, so I didn't take care of this matter for the time being. Why, do you have an idea?"

"Looking at it this way, we urgently need a more comprehensive system to safely and reasonably absorb new members." Verac learned that the Equality Association had more than 20,000 new members, but he did not dare to reuse them rashly. It's a pity that they haven't been used. "I have considered taking a training class to train a group of backbones who can cope with the current situation as soon as possible."

   "Okay." Morais couldn't wait for it. In his eyes, Verac is simply the most suitable candidate. "If you have the intention and are sure, we can immediately re-arrange this matter."

   Busy busy! Adding more games is officially stopped, and I will pay off what I owe one after another. After all, I am not a full-time author yet, and there are some important things to do in reality, please understand! I will open it later when I have the ability!
