Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 184 Surpassing Yourself

"By the way, does the number of weapons we have currently only refer to our side, or include Chloe's side?" Verak asked a more important question. If Chloe's side is not included, then if you want to There is a way to get another batch from them, and if they are patched together, they can be put together.

"Not included." Morais shook his head before Verac could express his thoughts, "If we let them know that we are going to capture the government building, maybe something will happen, so I didn't ask them for it." over weapons."

   Piaf said: "Find another excuse?"

"It is almost impossible to have a suitable argument, because no matter what, we all want their weapons. Judging from the increasingly tense development conflicts we are now, Chloe will never help us, let alone give up. Weapons, weakening one's own strength and reducing the right to speak." Morais did not hold out expectations.

"Oh..." Hearing this, Verak sneered, "When dealing with us, we know that we must become strong and have the right to speak, but the government doesn't know that. Rather than saying that they have conflicts with us, it is better to directly regard them as Never the same way.”

  Verak was very decisive in how he got along with Chloe and the others.

Although Morais and the others were also extremely indignant at Chloe's inaction and his short-sightedness, they have worked together for so long and have gone through ups and downs together. The fantasy of getting up is definitely not as happy as Veraker.

   "Don't talk about this matter anymore, this is not what you should consider now." Morais asked Verak to stop as usual.

Verak just mentioned it just now, and didn't intend to create another contradiction or enemy when they were dealing with the government wholeheartedly: "Well. The weapon thing is not like a training class. It must start running now, otherwise the whole plan will fail. Proceed, as long as we can get it done before the plan is implemented, that is, we have about forty days to solve it."

"There should be plenty of time, as long as there is a solution. If this is a dead end, it's useless to give us a year." Morais knew that forty days was a long time, but there was nothing to do in the previous few months. He worries that the situation will continue in the future.

   "Yes." Verak started to eat.

Morais ate quickly, finished his meal in a short time, and lit a cigarette: "You are the fresh blood of the Equality Association. Since you came in, the Equality Association has become a little more energetic. Think about it, and During the period when the government was head-to-head, we were worried about those who would sneak into the government, and did not dare to admit any new members, and the equality society would not change for a long time.”

"It's good to stick to this period of time." Verak believes that as long as they can finish the next battle beautifully, the Equality Society will surely enter a period of super rapid development, and maybe it will change every day, climbing to the It seems unattainable now.

"I'm wondering if we can use our current 20,000 reserve members in this matter." Morais pondered, "Because I'm worried that people from the government will get involved, I don't want to recruit new members. It’s unreasonable. If you are really worried about this problem and there is no better solution for the time being, we will screen out a small number of reserve members in a targeted manner.”

   "You mean, conduct a large-scale investigation of the backgrounds of 20,000 reserve members to see if there are any suitable candidates who can help us solve our current problems?" Keating asked.

Morais's speed of speech slowed down a lot, and he was obviously still in the stage of thinking: "That's what I think, and it's not just to see if there are people who can help in the preparation of weapons, such a large-scale screening , All kinds of talents will definitely emerge, maybe there will be surprises.”

"I think it is very feasible." Piaf supported the method that Morais just came up with. "What we have been worried about is that we will absorb too many people in a short period of time, and we will not be able to inspect them at all. Infiltrating the government during this sensitive period It is very likely that our follow-up plan will collapse. But if we can purposely absorb a small number of people first, it will greatly relieve our inspection pressure, and we can also make the most of the reserve members at the moment strength."

   "I also think it's good." Verak thinks that Morais's idea is very good. "The only problem is how we can complete the investigation of so many people as soon as possible."

"In addition to this, a sound review mechanism should also be established to prevent the government's insiders from sneaking in." Keating added, "The government must be trying to find a way to inquire about our news now. I am afraid that among the 20,000 people, they are not few."

Morais listened to the opinions of the three of them, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "There are indeed difficulties in implementing this method, but whether it is short-term or long-term, it is very worthwhile for us to do it. .You don’t have any objections, so I’ll give it a push.”

"Speaking of this, I have a new idea." Verac has experienced so much and cultivated the thinking of daring to think and do, "We have always been worried that people from the government will get in, which has caused us to be in some ways. Passive. But why? Why can’t we try to take the initiative? They can send us people, why can’t we try to send people into the government to obtain front-line intelligence.”

"I have considered this, but there are too many things to be busy at present, and it is a bit difficult to take care of it. But I am very aware of the importance of the intelligence system. It can not only be responsible for eliminating internal spies, but also send people into the enemy's interior. It is between us and the government Shields and spears are very important in confrontation, so this matter has been put on the agenda." Morais smiled.

   "I just said..." Verak also laughed.

  The Equality Society did not wait for the closing ceremony of the World Expo during the time they were not there. The Equality Society basically realized what Verac could think of.

   "Is there no news from Pruman and Ross?" It has been a few days since the investigation by the Equality Council, and Verac couldn't help asking Morais.

  He knew very well that Morais didn't take the initiative to find him, which meant that there was no result yet, and he just wanted to know how it was going.

"Pluman's situation is more complicated. We have never established a site there, and it is not so easy to find clues when we are new here." Morais said, "As for the musician Ross you mentioned, there is no news yet. "

   "It's been so long, he should be back anyway." Verak looked at Keating, "Could it be..."

   "Has anyone been arrested during this period?" Keating understood what Verak was worried about and asked Morais.

   Morais extinguished the finished cigarette in the ashtray: "There are some, but after our investigation, none of them can match Rose."

   "When did the investigation start?"

   "The afternoon of the twenty-fourth."

   "Is there any investigation of those who were arrested on or before noon on the 24th?"

  Morais was stopped by Keating: "Before...the previous investigation would be a bit troublesome. Do you think it is necessary to send another group of people to investigate?"

  Verak and Keating looked at each other.

  The meaning of what Morais said is already obvious. The Equality Association is currently short of manpower, and he doesn't want to continue to add more manpower to find a musician.

"Let's do this. We only investigate those who were arrested during the period from the 23rd to the noon of the 24th. Mr. Keating and I hardly stopped along the way. It is impossible for Ross to come back before us, so if this Not for a while, he should... had an accident on the way..." Verak took a compromise.

  The arrested persons within a day and a half would not be too troublesome to investigate, Morais agreed with a deep sigh.

   After all, composing the music for "Internasional" is also the focus of the Equality Society's follow-up publicity, and since Rose is the candidate strongly recommended by Verac, it should not be replaced by just finding someone.

   "It's troublesome." Verak's mood became slightly heavy.

  Ross should have come back logically, but the people from the Equality Association have been investigating in Laizein for so long and there is no clue, so the result may not be very good.

  Verak can only wish in his heart that Rose is still on the way, or is back, but the people of the Equal Society have not found him yet.

  When they went their separate ways on the pier, the reason why he didn't take Rose with him was because he didn't want Rose to be involved in a dangerous struggle. If it weren't for the composition of "Internationale", he thinks it must be Ross, and he will sincerely wish people like Ross and Dawn to live their own lives.

   "It's nothing, composing music is really important, but if we really can't find him, we must hurry up and find another candidate." Morais made it clear in advance, "No matter how suitable the person is, it doesn't make any sense to wait."

   "Of course." Verac will not delay the development of the Equality Society just to wait for Rose.

After a few people finished their meal, Morais didn't leave them to discuss issues. These few people are busy today, and it's time to go to rest: "Okay, I will arrange everything we talk about today, you guys It’s been hard work, go back and have a good rest.”

   "You too." Verac ordered, leaving the meeting room with Keating and Piaf, and returning to the hotel together.

"Verak will go back and make a list with me in a while, and we will grade the students' learning today." On the way back, Keating arranged things to be done later, "Piave, you also get ready, wait At the end of this training period, we will select some of the students with the best learning performance through comprehensive scoring, and retain them as teaching assistants for the follow-up training.”

   "Okay." Piaf agreed.

  Verak is too busy today, and now he has time to ask: "Teacher, are there any students in this group that you think are suitable?"

  The three of them knew that the so-called suitable person was the candidate for the special training course Keating wanted to hold. In the special training class, students will be taught things in a targeted manner to train them to become independent cadres in the future.

   "There are a few, I will observe and observe." Keating was not in a hurry.

Although Keating has seen too many worlds, as a minister who was once under one person and over ten thousand people, he has met countless people, and dealt with countless people with their own ghosts, but he is still very cautious in judging people. , Never judge a person's character without a face-to-face meeting.

  At the beginning, Veraker got Keating's approval after struggling in prison for half a month, and it took nearly two months to gain Keating's complete trust.

  Even if the standards of the people here are lowered a lot, they won't be able to impress Keating in just one day.

   "I have also taken a fancy to a few, but I don't know if they match with the teacher's." Verac also intentionally studied each of them during the lecture.

   "I'll find out when I decide on a candidate." Keating didn't communicate with Veraker, and they didn't affect each other's judgments.

   "Okay." Veraker was quite interested.

   Several people talked and laughed and returned to the hotel, Piaf separated on the fourth floor, and Keating went to Verak's room to complete the last work of the day.

   "Score out of ten?" In the room, Veraker prepared a list and prepared to score the students with Keating.

   "Well, you mark it according to your score first, then I will mark it again, and finally take our average value." Keating stood in front of the desk, watching Verak carefully grade the fifty students.

   "Understood." Verak nodded, picked up the pen and scored.

  He respects, admires, and even admires Keating. A large part of the reason is that Keating is never arrogant, and he also respects him very much and gives him what he deserves.

For example, when grading the students, he will not discuss it with Verak, because Verak is weaker than him in decision-making, and the positions of the two in the training class are also divided into high and low positions. Once they disagree on a certain student, maintain Lark will compromise with Keating with a high probability.

   In Keating's view, even if this is unfair, it is not conducive to cultivating Veraker's ability to think independently.

   Not long after, Verak scored the points and stood up to give Keating his seat.

   Keating sat down and wrote down his own score after the score given by Veraker, and also wrote down the average score of each student by the way.

Verac looked at Keating just like Keating had just seen him, and when he saw that he scored high and Keating scored low, or the other way around, he began to review what was wrong with the student. What are the advantages of overvalued things that I haven't noticed.

   "...well." After a while, Keating finished judging everyone.

  Even if he was responsible for calculating the average score at the same time, the total scoring time was a little shorter than Veraker's, which shows that he has a deep understanding of these fifty people. When he sees the names, relevant information emerges.

   "It seems that my teacher and your views are still somewhat different." Verak took the grading list and found that he and Keating agreed with only half of them.

"It's normal, we have differences, the angle of attention, and the way of understanding some advantages and disadvantages are also different." Keating was not surprised, "You don't have to think that my rating is more reliable than yours, sometimes it is more like The correct conclusion is to choose to believe in your own feelings.”

   Keating still did not forget to teach Verac something.

  The standard he set for Verak was different from anyone else. Others are good at one thing, and he is satisfied with a little bit of experience, but Verak can't regard him as the end point, he can only regard him as the starting point.

  Beyond himself, this is the minimum requirement he gave Verak.
