Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 192 Untitled

  【Women believe that discrimination, neglect, or belittling of women's rights are important causes of social misfortune and government corruption. They resolved to solemnly proclaim their birthright, inalienable and sacred rights of women, that this declaration, which should be made public at all times to all members of society, should serve as a constant reminder to women of their rights and duties; Acts of power and those of men may at all times be compared and respected as the end of all political institutions; so that the demands of citizens, hereafter founded on simple and undeniable principles, may always be Support the constitution, good morals and the happiness of all people. (Note: 1)]

After expressing his unique and complete thoughts in the preamble, Piaf listed seventeen treaties in the text of the Declaration of the Rights of Women and Women's Civil Rights, detailing that the fair rights of freedom and equality cannot be limited to men, Special emphasis is also placed on the dual promotion of rights and obligations in order to effectively equalize the status of women and men.

  After reading the "Women's Manifesto", it was almost eight o'clock, and Verac, who was still unsatisfied, could only temporarily put down the two novels written by Piaf, who were also very interested, and went to the cafeteria with Keating.

Nord, Diaz, and Murphy are still in the learning stage. Verac specially won them a learning period where they can concentrate on studying, so they don't have to participate in most of the work, and they don't need to be like Verac and the others. Go to the cafeteria to eat, just wait for the waiter to deliver the food to the door.

   On the way there, Verak told Keating what he had seen and heard when he came back in the afternoon.

   Keating was not surprised after hearing this: "I knew this before, and Piaf also presented me with a manifesto for women and two novels."

   "Then why didn't you tell me?" Verak was puzzled.

"I'm waiting for you to discover it yourself." Keating said, "I noticed your shortcoming early on. You don't know how to understand others, and you only think about work. But in fact, understanding others is also for the better. work, isn't it?"

   "Yes." Verac had just learned something in the afternoon, and at this moment he agreed with Keating's words.

   Keating didn't say any more: "Let's feel more for yourself."

"Um."

   As they spoke, the two came to the cafeteria.

  It was quite lively tonight, and most of the cadres from the Morais faction came, unlike usual, where we only saw a few sporadic people. Seeing this, Veraker and Keating followed them and sat in a compartment to eat.

"Most of you here are working in other places and in different positions. Except for important meetings, it is difficult to get together for a meal." Morais made a speech before the meal, "Today is a rare opportunity, I will eat again Let me tell you something."

   There was laughter at the dinner table, and there was nothing he could do about Morais, who had turned into a workaholic, meeting madman, and never let go of the meal time.

  Villac thought it was an ordinary meal, and was planning to discuss some thoughts on the "Women's Declaration" with Piaf who was sitting next to him, so he could only wait for now.

"I have already talked to some people two days ago, but today I still need to formally explain to you the major decision I have made - to give up the illusion of reaching a consensus with the Chloe faction, and to be ready to talk to the government, the former All-round confrontation and battle with your companions." Morais said in a full-fledged manner.

  Hearing these words, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the cubicle was instantly dissipated.

  Morais was indeed, as Verac expected, a person who, after deciding on a matter, would make it to the extreme without hesitation.

What Verac thought of was that it was inevitable for the two factions to part ways, but Morais actually considered whether the two sides would become enemies after the split, and how to deal with them, and vigorously promoting equality would confront the two parties at the same time. preparatory work.

   It is no wonder that he can sit in this position today, leading the Equality Association after Boyne.

"...Now Chloe naively thinks that we will be with him and wait for the government to change everything." Morais recounted the details of the last negotiation, "After we attacked the government building at the beginning of the year, they will definitely hear the news Angry and angry, so while we are formulating the battle plan, we have to add a new task, which is to quickly cut off the contact with Chloe's faction and counter them if necessary."

After Chloe learned the truth, he did not rule out the possibility that he would immediately defect to the government, or use other means to prevent Morais from growing stronger, so Morais believed that he had to be able to protect himself no matter what, and on this basis, he could Reversely suppress Chloe's ability.

In this way, if Chloe and the others are really obsessed with obsession, they will continue to express their sincerity to the government and pass on important information to affect the safety of the Morais faction. Morais and the others can destroy Chloe's power in the first place, and stability and equality will lead to the overall situation .

"This matter has to be kept secret at the moment, but it must be arranged immediately. This is a bit contradictory, which is enough to show that it is difficult." Morais did not have time to listen to the opinions of the cadres, pointing directly at the two cadres, and clicking Named them, "You two are fully responsible for this matter, and report to me on the progress of the work on a regular basis."

   "Yes." The two men solemnly agreed.

"The current plan to attack the government building is only missing the implementation of weapons." After arranging the prevention and countermeasures against Chloe's faction, Morais talked non-stop about the issue of weapons, "The end of the World Expo , with less than four weeks left, we're running out of time."

  Someone raised their hand: "Two-thirds of the work related to the background investigation of the reserve members has been completed, and a rough summary will be sorted out by tomorrow night at the latest."

The background investigation of the reserve members is mainly to serve the weapons preparation plan, but Morais did not sit still. He did not put all his hopes on the reserve members, and tried to open up another way to raise sufficient funds before attacking the government building Arms provide protection.

   "As soon as the information comes out, give it to me as soon as possible." Morais said.

"Yes."

   "I'm not in a hurry for the intelligence department. I can give you another two weeks. After two weeks, we must obtain intelligence from within the government to assist our follow-up actions." Morais glanced at Verak.

  The establishment of the intelligence department has the characteristics of time-consuming and large investment, so Morais gave them some time to relax, just so that they can lay a solid foundation, and don't not only fail to make contributions, but also slow down.

  The pressure on Veraker is not great, he only acts as an advisor to the intelligence department, and the pressure is mainly borne by the head of the intelligence department.

   "The training class is progressing very well, I hope everyone will continue to work hard." After Morais also praised the work of Keating, Verac, and Piaf, "Okay, so much before the meal, let's eat!"

  In a few minutes, the resolute Morais arranged new jobs for many people and exerted more pressure. The meal did not seem to be so easy to swallow.

  But in general, Morais, who has undertaken the most, seems to be in high spirits, eating big mouthfuls, not affected by many things at all, and has become everyone's reassurance.

"I've finished reading the Women's Manifesto." After dinner, Verac and Piaf talked about the content of "The Women's Manifesto", "This is really a masterpiece that contains subversive and pioneering features. I'm curious that after it is published, What kind of response did you get from the government and the people?"

"I haven't published it yet." Piaf explained, "Those mainstream newspapers are unlikely to be willing to publish the manifesto, and the channels of private circulation are basically closed because of the sensation caused by the theory of equality in Laizein. I personally set up a newspaper, and spread it after I have influence.”

   Such a work has not been seen by more people because there is no suitable channel. Verak deeply regrets: "Perhaps the day when the government building was captured was a good time."

   "I think so too." Piaf smiled and said, "That means we have launched an all-round offensive against the government and the old system."

   "It will provide us with unparalleled help." Verac has high hopes for the "Women's Declaration". Not surprisingly, this work will awaken more people like "Theory of Equality".

The dinner only lasted about ten to fifteen minutes. After that, Morais named a few people and went to the meeting again. Verac, Keating, and Piaf, who will officially start the third training session tomorrow, have no tasks for the time being. , all dispersed.

  The Equality Society is still too small compared to the government. It is only with the help of the umbrella of the World Expo that it has avoided the government's fatal blows again and again.

  But the World Expo will eventually end, and they will lose their cover after all. At that time, they must grow stronger to avoid the tragic ending of being wiped out.

   Attacking the government building is a key battle to determine whether they can confront the government head-on in the future.

  For this battle, Morais led the people to continuously improve the plan, holding various meetings every day, just to ensure that everything is safe, successfully complete the task, and lay the overall situation.

Watching Morais, a man who used to be quiet and focused on using actions instead of words, nestled in the conference room every day, discussing those clueless issues with the cadres over and over again, making scheduling and coordinating day and night, looking for break-ups Of the policy.

  Verak felt admiration.

  He can feel that Keating has been cultivating him all the time, intending to support him to become the leader of the Equality Society.

It’s just that compared with Morais, he feels that his abilities still have many shortcomings. There is still a long, long way to go before he can really become a person who has the ability to examine the world, shelter people from wind and rain, and lead them forward. to go.

  December 6th

  The third training class started, and more than 200 new students filled the classroom.

   Keating didn't say hello before. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he deliberately let Verac lead the lecture temporarily, and he only appeared as a teaching assistant when necessary.

  After the first two training sessions, Veraker was completely free from stage fright and nervousness, and accepted Keating's arrangements openly, combining Keating's previous procedures and his own style, and told things logically.

  He seemed to be born to do this, he learned quickly, and there were very few places that needed Keating's help, and the morning class was almost complete.

night

  After receiving the information booklet summarized by the cadre responsible for investigating the background of the reserve members, Morais immediately studied it, trying to find a solution to the weapon based on the identities of the reserve members.

  Even if there is no one in this group who can help solve the weapon, there may be some surprises.

  December 7, early morning

  Government Building, Rock Shriver's office

  Early in the morning, Locke Shriver held the original manuscript of "Equality" and compared it with the printed version, looking for clues in person. He firmly believes that "Theory of Equality" is the key to the rise of the Equality Society and also the key to destroying them, so he tried his best to dig out places where he can make a big fuss.

   "...The background investigation of the potential members of the Equality Council has been completed." His subordinates finished reporting the latest information they had at their desks.

   "And then?" Locke Shriver flipped through "Theory of Equality" repeatedly, eager to take a magnifying glass for in-depth research.

   "There is no new movement for the time being, I will report to you as soon as possible."

  Lock Shriver nodded slightly, and then asked about the whereabouts of Equality: "Have you found out where they are operating and where they live?"

   "No, I suspect they are not in Laizein."

"They must be in Laizein." Locke Shriver emphasized this point. "If they are not in Laizein now, how will they enter the city on a large scale after the World Expo? And we blocked Laizein after the rush a while ago. They have not been caught alive until today. If you say that, it either means that you have no brains, or that the guards in charge of the blockade have no brains."

"Feel sorry…"

Locke Shriver was very dissatisfied with his subordinates, but he resisted the desire to yell: "It took so long and there is still no clue, which means that the search with our current means is meaningless, then there is no need to do this kind of useless It’s a matter of value, let’s investigate in another way.”

   "Like...?" the subordinate asked Rock Shriver carefully.

   "For example, replace you." Hearing the subordinate's incompetent inquiry, Rock Shriver said directly and coldly.

   "Sorry, I'll find them soon."

  Rock Shriver snorted disdainfully: "Hasn't that Ross spoken yet?"

"No."

   "Then the guards responsible for sealing off the city didn't catch any new prisoners during this period? What about other places?"

   "Lezein has not yet. Although some have been caught elsewhere, they are still on the way to be transported, and these prisoners all say that they are not familiar with Chris."

"It's not up to them whether they are familiar or not. I have to interrogate myself." Rock Shriver looked at the calendar, and the days were getting closer and closer to the New Year and the World's Fair. You and I are going to lose our heads, you know?"

"clear…"

   "Even if it's just to live, they must be caught."
