Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 180 The first training session begins

   "I'm going to adjust the member information." Piaf came too hastily, and hadn't had time to make preparations for this, so after confirming the division of labor, she left to get the information and screen the members.

  Villac and Keating were not even prepared. Except for two pieces of paper from the poem "Internationale", they never brought anything with them. At this moment, the two looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

   "Do we need to prepare some materials too?" Verak asked.

  Now the training class is led by Keating, and Keating also has a lot of experience in teaching, so we should ask his opinion first when preparing lessons.

Keating was thinking about this when he was silent. He had no teaching experience before, and the only person he had ever taught was Verac, and teaching one person was different from systematically teaching groups of people. Where to say: "Prepare a treatise on equality."

   "Okay, I'll get it." Verac got up and left, and obtained a mass-printed "Theory of Equality" through inquiries.

"It seems that no one in the Equality Association has rewritten the theory of equality in the past few months." After the book came back, Keating was the first to read it, "Compared to the one we rewrote in prison, it must be more profound and comprehensive. .”

   "Then use our book for teaching?" Verak asked.

   Keating groaned and fell into weighing.

  At present, most members have read the original version that is popular in the Equality Association. If you use this teaching method, you can save everyone the time to re-familiarize, and it can also reduce a certain amount of training time.

However, if they use the version compiled by them, the content of which is quite different, the trainees will spend at least one to two days more on re-understanding, so that after more training sessions, it may be different from using the original version ten days.

  Ten days, no matter what, you can have another training session.

  The method that Keating and the others decided early on was to train more people in each training session. If one session of training is missing because of using their version, it is very likely that hundreds of members will lose training opportunities.

   "Using the original version and our version will have different effects. Do you have any ideas?" Keating asked Veraker for his opinion before making up his mind.

"It's a little troublesome..." Verak also knows the difference between the two, and knows what Keating is struggling with, "Using the original version can save one period of training time, and training more than 100 people will be of great help to the plan to capture the government building. Using our version is more meaningful for the long-term development of the Equality Society."

"Use the original version." Verac didn't want to use which one for a while, Keating quickly made a decision, "Improve your current strength first, and solve the biggest problem you are facing. Afterwards, retrain and put in more effort." Vigorously promote the new version of equality theory."

Verak considered for a while and said: "I think... the new version of Equality Theory can wait. Now that we have come into contact with the advanced ideas from Pruman like Internassner, we can completely revise it before the next mass printing. An updated theory of equality. In case we have just finished pushing our version, it won’t be long before we release a version that incorporates Pluman’s ideas. No matter how fast everyone sees it, we can’t hold back our fast release, so it’s better to wait for one more step.”

"Alright." Keating quite agrees with Veraker's idea, so that he will not be in a hurry to promote the new edition, and will not release another edition unnecessarily in the future to increase the learning pressure of the members. "As for the compilation of the new edition, It can also be carried out simultaneously.”

"For this point, I still think we can wait." Verak said, "We have the initial ability, but we still need to do too much preparation to compile such a book. The government building has been rescued, and it won’t be too late to compile it after we get in touch with Pluman’s organization.”

"It will take a month or two, plus compilation, it may be three months before it will be popularized. In fact, we can lay a new theoretical foundation now, which will save part of the time for compilation." Keating said. For the sake of time.

  Because when they officially declare war with the government at the beginning of next year, the pressure on both sides will become very high. If the new version of "On Equality" can be released earlier and cause an uproar earlier, it will definitely provide them with key help.

  It is of course the best to get it out sooner, and Verak has no reason to refuse. He nodded immediately: "Then prepare according to your ideas."

"Well." Keating flipped through "Theory of Equality", "Theory of Equality and Internassional are the most important training for the awakening of the mind. How do you think it will make everyone understand it faster and more clearly? What's in it?"

"This..." Verac once again recalled the rich experience in the prison. At that time, he and Keating tried to use "Theory of Equality" to awaken the prisoners in order to escape, but later found that pure theory could not impress everyone, so they could only turn to Verac. Integrating into the group of prisoners, using practical actions to explain the concept of equality, and finally achieved great success, "Or use the method in the prison?"

   "This place is definitely different from a prison, and our plan must be adjusted accordingly." Keating said.

"I think training here is easier than in prison anyway. Because the Equality Council has always used practical actions to explain everything. From the earliest Comrade Francis forced the government to issue decrees through workers' strikes and demonstrations, and now the stubborn resistance has forced the government to Talking with us is a favorable proof. And the most important thing is that everyone has already done this together, and knowing how to do it means that everyone believes. Since everyone agrees very much, we don't have to waste time in prison In that case, how to get everyone to unite, but should focus on explaining our line of resistance and looking forward to the future."

   Keating's eyes lit up, not because Verac thought he didn't expect it, but because they thought exactly the same: "In this way, the theory of equality and Internationale can be combined and told together."

"Yes." After tempering in prison, Veraker became good at finding the key points of the problem. Seeing that Keating did not express any objection to his opinions, he immediately understood that his thinking was feasible, "Then That’s all the training content we’re going to prepare next.”

"Actually, I don't think this is just a training. In my eyes, it is more like an exchange meeting. Through the meeting, we can learn if you have any novel ideas on the way to fight against the government. When looking forward to the future Do you have a higher and farther vision? We should also contact everyone with the purpose of learning." Keating said.

  Verak agrees very much, because he was born in poverty, and if he can get to where he is today, others can naturally. When he was looking forward to the communication with other people like him, he burst out with refreshing ideas: "Indeed, this is something related to the future of each of us. We strive for everyone's equality, and we should also try to listen to everyone's opinions." Opinion."

   "Hmm..." Keating stopped talking, staring at "Equality" and "Internationale", and estimated the training time.

  Verak was thinking about how to explain things clearly and easily for everyone.

"The theory of equality and Internaxonel are combined, and the training time is one day." After a long while, Keating set the time, "Piave should also have something important to talk about, divide it into half a day for her, and I will Use half a day to talk about other aspects of knowledge, see if there are any outstanding talents, and focus on training in the future."

   "Two days?" This time is shorter than Verak expected, but this is normal, everyone is a person with a foundation, and it will be faster to talk.

   "The next step is to see how much combat training time Morais has set." Keating said in a deep voice, "Try to train four to five sessions before the plan starts, and guarantee a minimum of 500 people."

   "How's your talk going?" Piaf came back with the list of members of the Equality Association and sat down.

  Verak told Piaf about the progress of their communication just now.

Piaf has no objection to their training schedule except for combat training: "It seems that we have compressed the time as much as possible. Next, we will look at Morais. Combat training is more difficult. I hope his side Make adjustments, taking into account both the quality of training and the training time."

   "Yeah." The work of the training class was progressing, and Verak relaxed a bit, leaning on the chair and asked, "Do you have any ideas for the training list?"

   "Yes, please remember." Piaf stayed for so long and got along with many people. Although she didn't know all the members of the Equality Society very well, she still saw some capable people in her eyes.

   "Okay." Verak sat up straight and took out a pen and paper.

   Piaf flipped through the list of personnel: "The personnel of the first period, Vilovich Conson, Rhett Campbell..."

  Villac followed Piaf to call out the names one by one. It took six to seven minutes to write down fifty names: "Is there anything special about these?"

"The abilities are relatively outstanding, I think we must give priority to training them." Piaf continued to flip through the list of members, "Next is the second batch of personnel, Kellyta Smith, Nat Welch, A Nas Tasia..."

   This time, a hundred names were named in succession.

Verac's hand was a little sore, and the two issues filled several pages. He took a cursory glance and found that women only accounted for about a quarter of the total: "Comrade Piaf, are the female members participating in the training a little bit?" few?"

"I can only say that in the current environment, there are indeed not as many excellent female members as there are male members. In terms of training, I am not pursuing equality in quantity, but that gender should be treated equally under equal ability." Piaf explained Why do female members only account for a quarter? "I hope that the new world we open up in the future will be good enough to allow women to have equal learning opportunities. I think there will definitely be more than a quarter of your male members with higher abilities than your men at that time." .”

   "I believe." Verac couldn't help re-examining this beautiful-looking, independent woman who did things cleanly and without any favoritism. He had planned to arrange Diaz, Nord, and Murphy before, but seeing that Piaf was so fair, he immediately felt ashamed that he planned to go through the back door, and decided to temporarily put aside the follow-up arrangement of the three, "I also sincerely hope that we can change together. A condition for women, a condition for all who suffer from inequality."

Piaf nodded at Verac and looked at Keating: "Comrade Keating, the first and second phases of personnel have been finalized. If you have no other ideas, I will inform them to do it according to the people on the list." Prepare, hand off work ahead of time, prepare to be fully committed to training."

"I believe in your vision." Piaf's work is very reliable, and Keating is very relieved of her, "Leave the errands to Verac, and I will tell you about the training program arrangement in detail." matter."

"Well, I'll just go and notify you." Today just started, and Piaf has been running a lot. Knowing that Piaf also has training tasks, Verac gave them a chance to communicate, and went to hand over the list to the docking staff .

   Judging from their current progress, the class should be officially started the day after tomorrow at the earliest, so the sooner the trainers who are in charge of various aspects of work are informed of the news in advance, the sooner they can prepare for the handover of work, the better.

  After Verak settled the matter, Keating and Piaf also had some results, and the three began to formulate the training content in detail and determine the teaching method.

  At noon, Morais took the initiative to walk in with four meals: "I heard that you are too busy to go to the cafeteria to eat, so I can only come to see what new progress you have made."

   "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Verac got up and took the rice from Morais's hand, and took one each for Keating and Piaf.

   "How is it?" Morais didn't eat, and came here to have dinner with the three of them.

   "It's going well." Keating reported the progress.

  Morais opened the lunch box and ate while listening: "Eat everything, don't just be in a daze. That's not bad. According to this progress, the task should be completed ahead of schedule, right?"

   "It's up to you." Keating and the others considered that everything was ready, and the next step was to implement the trivial things.

"Of course I have already decided on my side." The plan to capture the government building has been formulated for more than a month, and the training class will start soon. Morais considered that the matter of the training class was more urgent in the morning, so he put this matter first. The matter settled down, "We have identified some projects here, and the combat training will take six days."

   "Eight days...five sessions." Verak calculated the number of sessions they could train.

"The person in charge of combat training will come over to work with you in the afternoon. As soon as your side is implemented, we will be fully operational." Morais settled the matter cleanly, "In addition, look for the Pruman organization, look for Musician Rose's affairs have been arranged, and there will be results at any time, so please wait for the good news."

   In this way, the things on the training course were basically settled, and Keating reported a number to Morais on the spot: "If everything goes well, in the next 40 days, we will guarantee to train 600 people."

"Then leave it to you." Verac, Keating, and Piaf worked very efficiently, and Morais was very satisfied, and he was full of confidence in the plan to capture the government building. Very important."

   After eating, Morais left to attend to other matters.

  The person in charge of combat training in the afternoon came to their conference room.

  Considering issues such as venues and firearms, the six days of combat training were divided into three days of theoretical teaching and three days of practical teaching, all of which were in charge of two key members with retired military backgrounds. And they, like Verac and Piaf, were uniformly deployed by Keating.

   On November 25th, the preparations for the training class were basically completed, and Morais specially arranged a room with a huge space for them as a theoretical classroom. This classroom is enough for them to train two hundred people or more at the same time in the future.

  The 50 members of the first phase also completed the handover of work one after another that night, and rushed over from various positions.

  They regarded this training as an extremely precious learning opportunity, so no one turned it down due to external factors.

  November 26th, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the representatives of the training class, Keating, Verac, Piaf, two combat training teachers, and fifty first-term students assembled in the theory classroom.

  The first phase of the training class specially set up for the Equality Association to capture government buildings early next year will officially start.
