Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 188 Negotiation

  Morais’ military career made him very good at mobilizing everyone’s emotions. After he gave a speech on the two-year opportunity of the establishment of the Equality Association, everyone was full of fighting spirit for a phased end action with the government early next year.

Before the meeting came to an end, Morais took out the letters in his hand and read them. Those letters were the letters between Francis and Chris, and the issues they had solved in them made people smile when they were brought up again. Unresolved things are thought-provoking.

  Perhaps one day in the future, the confusion they are facing at this time will be read to the new generation of revolutionaries like the letters of Francis and Chris. I hope that the new generation of revolutionaries would just smile when they heard this, because their generation already had the answers to those confusions.

  Villac silently listened to Morais finish reading the letter.

   These letters were left in the Equality Association when he ran away with money. Listening to them now, his thoughts are all over the place.

   "This is the end of the meeting. I hope that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, comrades can continue to fight with full fighting spirit! The meeting is over!"

  Morais held this meeting in consideration of the rest of the comrades, so when the meeting reached nine o'clock, the meeting ended in good time.

   "Let's go." Keating got up.

  Villac found Nord, Diaz, and Murphy who also came to the meeting, and the five left together with the flow of people.

   "Verak!"

   Just as they were about to go out and enter the hotel through the tunnel, Verak heard someone calling himself in the noise behind him. He turned his head to look, behind the crowd, Morais was waving at him.

   "Teacher, Morais called me, you go back first." Verac greeted Keating and asked the four of them to go first, while he came to Morais against the flow of people, "What's wrong?"

   "What are your plans for tomorrow?" Morais asked, taking Verak to a corner.

  Verak replied: "In the morning, I will prepare for the third training session with Mr. Keating. In the afternoon, I will continue to serve as a consultant for the intelligence department. In the evening, you should hold a meeting with me."

"Haha..." Morais laughed a few times when he heard Verak teasing his habit of meeting, then calmed down for a few seconds, and lowered his voice, "Go to the North District with me tomorrow and talk to Chloe .”

   "Why me? And why do you want to talk to Chloe?" Verac and Chloe didn't like each other, and it was almost to the point where no one wanted to see the other.

"There is only one month left before our action. Although all aspects are gradually being implemented, I am still a little worried about using half the power of the Equality Association to fight against the government, so I want to test Chloe's tone at the end. If there is If we hope, we can persuade him to bring people in to improve our strength and our chances of victory. If there is no hope, we can find a way to appease him and prevent him from sensing something wrong and destroying our plan." Morais first answered Veraker's question The second question, "As for why I called you, there are many reasons. The problem with your appearance, you have another very tricky angle and you have far surpassed our understanding of Chris. You are also a typical example of persistence..."

  Morais listed seven or eight reasons.

   "I don't think there's any hope." Verak had no expectations for Chloe, "But it's feasible to meet him with the idea of ​​appeasing him and lest he do anything. Then when shall we leave tomorrow?"

  "Eight o'clock." Morais set the time neither early nor late.

   "Okay, then I'll meet you before eight o'clock tomorrow." Verak nodded and agreed to the matter, "Is there anything else?"

   Morais shook his head, and stopped Verak, who turned half around and was about to leave: "Wait."

"how?"

"I know it's difficult to persuade him, but once he is persuaded, the situation will become better, so no matter what, we have to fight for it, and we can't just meet him in a way to appease him." Morais emphasized, not wanting to Verac really was the past to appease.

  Verak chuckled: "I'm just kidding with you. I know which is more important. As long as I have a chance, I will definitely do my best to make him recognize the reality and give up his fantasy."

   "That's fine, go to bed early, see you tomorrow!" Morais put his heart down and smiled.

   "Yes." Verak nodded with him and returned to the hotel.

  On the fifth floor of the hotel, Keating stood in front of his door with Nord, Diaz, and Murphy, waiting for him to come back.

   Seeing this, Verac greeted him: "It's nothing, Morais just asked me to go talk to Chloe with him tomorrow."

   "He wants to try again?" Keating asked.

"Yes, after all, it's best to get rid of the past and unite." The corridor was chilly, and Verak wrapped his clothes tightly and said, "Even if it doesn't work, we can adapt to the situation and appease Chloe, so that he won't let us talk about what's next. Act suspiciously."

   "Hmm..." Keating mused.

Diaz interjected: "We have also dealt with him a little bit. This person is rather stubborn, and it is not so easy to reason. If Comrade Morais didn't come up with a new way, he would still persuade Crowe in the previous way." Yi, that must not make sense."

"I don't know if he has a new breakthrough, but he only asked me to accompany him. I'm curious how he wants to use me to persuade Chloe." Verak took out the key and opened the door, "Don't stand outside , let’s get warmer in the room, come in and say.”

"No need." Keating, who had been thinking to no avail, did not enter the door. "There is no doubt about Morais' ability. Even if he is not fully sure, he has at least some new ideas. In addition, I think he has more considerations." Now that it is the second anniversary of the Equality Association, such a day is the most suitable time to understand it with reason and move it with emotion."

"really."

   "Tomorrow...do your best." Keating had high hopes for Veraker, but he didn't put too much pressure on him.

  Convincing Chloe to say less can increase the success rate of the operation by 30%, weapons and manpower have been greatly strengthened, and there is no need to worry about being stabbed in the back by one of his own at critical moments.

   "Don't worry." Verak said.

  He knew that Keating was not worried about the failure of the negotiation, because the probability of failure in itself was extremely high, and Veraker was not a god, so he could not continue to create miracles. What he was afraid of was that Verac would do something to Chloe, who was indecisive and weak in heart, and would cause a catastrophe.

  In the eyes of others, Verac has almost no shortcomings, but in his eyes, Verac is young and vigorous, and insists on parting ways with the Chloe faction, which may affect the conversation.

  Verak said "Don't worry", but also to let Keating not worry about anything, the overall situation is the main thing, and no matter what he does, he will not affect Morais' plan.

   "That's it, everyone go to bed early." Keating looked around at the few people and planned to go back to his room.

   "By the way, teacher, I can only work **** you and Comrade Piaf for the preparation of the third training class tomorrow." Regardless of whether the conversation goes well or not, Verak will definitely not have time to help Keating tomorrow morning.

   "It's okay, the five first-term student assistants will come in handy." Keating is not short of people.

"That's good."

   "Okay, let's rest." Keating didn't stay long, and Nord and the others returned to their rooms.

  Verak closed the door, took off his clothes after washing and lay on the bed.

  Didn't take a good rest these days, it was rare to be able to sleep before ten o'clock one day, and he cherished this opportunity very much.

  —

  December 5th

  Verak got up at seven in the morning, had breakfast with Keating and Piaf, and met Morais.

   "It seems to be well rested and full of energy." After meeting in Morais' office, Morais praised Verac's mental outlook.

  Verak sat aside: "You too, very rare."

"To meet Chloe, no matter how busy I am, I have to have a good rest the night before. Otherwise, if he sees me with dark circles or depression the next day, no matter how he guesses, it won't do us any good." Morais Explained the reasons for a good rest, which was one of the details of the conversation.

"It seems that you have made sufficient preparations for this conversation." It is now 7:35, and there is still some distance before their departure time. Verac asked Morais about his plan with peace of mind. Well, with the preparation, we can fight and cooperate with each other when we go.

"I want to talk to him and the cadres on his side." Morais sat at his desk and worked out today's work, while talking about his thoughts with Verak, "The second anniversary of the Equality Conference is suitable for Tell me about the past, and talk about the hardships we suffered because of insufficient determination to fight. Even if I can’t convince Chloe this time, I have to try to convince his subordinates, through his subordinates, to influence him Comrades' attitude."

"According to what you said, it's better to have a meeting like the one we had last night over there." Verak understood Morais' thinking, and it was nothing more than using the second anniversary of the Equality Association to cooperate with himself to express the situation. , Reasons are explained clearly, how many can be moved is counted.

Morais smiled bitterly: "I think, the problem is how could Chloe watch me hold a large meeting with him to expand my influence? I can at most gather his cadres in the name of negotiation Get up and talk."

   "Haven't you said it before? It stands to reason that you should have said it. If this method works, they would have united with us long ago."

"I've said it before, but it's not thorough. This time I still have some more adequate preparations. It's the last battle. If it doesn't work this time, I will die." Morais concluded, " Either they give up their fantasy, or we give up their fantasy, something has to happen today."

   "Okay, then I'll listen to your arrangement." Verac has no idea about this matter. He would rather take on an extra job outside the training class and intelligence department than bite the bullet and contact Chloe. But now that Morais has made a prudent determination, he can only cooperate with all his strength.

   Morais was busy for another ten minutes. After making the work items, he handed them over to his subordinates: "We're done, let's go."

  Villac followed Morais to the hotel first, then entered an alley through the back door of the hotel, and turned a few forks in the alley before boarding a truck and rushing to Chloe's terminus in the North District.

   "You have a strong awareness of prevention." Verak couldn't help sighing after getting into the car.

  He has only been out once since returning to Laizein, that is, the time he and Elizabeth went to the cemetery to see Colin and Chris. At that time, Elizabeth drove away directly at the door of the hotel, which was extremely daring compared with Morais.

"Others are okay. People like us who are on the wanted warrant should not show up until they don't show up. Moreover, during this period of time, the government has withdrawn the wanted warrant on the surface to show us favor, but secretly intensified the search. Try to find our clues, let alone be careless." Morais explained the reason.

   "Has our side been searched?" Verak asked.

"Of course, the hotel is the key search location, and the casino has complex personnel, so it is easy to be targeted. In the past two days alone, three waves of people have come to investigate." Morais did not tell Verak about this matter. In fact, they every time They are undergoing severe tests all the time. This is something that they have to face in Leizein under the nose of the enemy. "The trouble is that the government has negotiated peace with us on the surface, so they don't know. Specially send intelligence officers to disguise themselves as ordinary people and wander around various places. We are mainly wary of these people.”

  Villac narrowed his eyes: "This should be written by Rock Shriver."

   "That's right, the old opponent." Morais lit a cigarette in the compartment, "In addition, according to our preliminary investigation, Boyin and Daniel are also under house arrest by him."

   "Sooner or later, we have to settle accounts with him." Verak said.

  The Equality Association and the government intelligence agency headed by Locke Shriver have a **** feud. Francis was assassinated, and the clean-up operation where Chris died, etc., were all organized by Locke Shriver.

"Of course, the establishment of our intelligence department this time is to let him feel what we have experienced in turn." Morais hated Locke Shriver, "After that, it is best when we attack the government building If I can meet him, I will personally avenge so many comrades who died because of him."

   After driving for more than an hour, the car came to the grocery store in the North District.

There are people from the Equality Society monitoring this block, so after making sure that there are no people from the government, Chloe's subordinates opened the cloth of the carriage, took Morais and Verac out of the car, and did not make any rest stops , went straight into the meeting room of the grocery store.

  The terminus where Chloe stayed was a lot worse than that of Morais, and their residential area was not as convenient as that of Morais, as they could go back and forth directly through the tunnel.

   This is mainly because Chloe’s funds are mainly used for maintenance, while Morais is more far-sighted. He used money to purchase many industries and let money make money, bringing a bright prospect of sustainable development to the Equality Association.

   "Meet you again." In the conference room, Chloe's face looked more gloomy than before. He greeted Morais who had just entered the door, and then gave Verac a cold look.

   "Where are the others?" Morais sat down with Verac.

"It's all on the way here." Chloe deliberately delayed the time to prevent the negotiation from going smoothly, "I'm curious, why do you want to reuse such a liar, do you want to be cheated again, and harm the entire Equality Council? ?"

  Morais had known that Chloe would attack Verac's identity during the negotiation, but he didn't expect that before everyone came, he started: "I'll talk about this later, wait for others to come first."
