Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 216 The biggest uncontrollable factor

   January 2, 1434

  Just after the new year, the festive atmosphere was instantly diluted. Instead, there was an explosion that everyone could faintly feel.

   What form of outbreak they could not tell. I only know that the problems that have accumulated for a long time will be settled together.

  In the factory, Morais also convened all the cadres to confirm the final battle plan.

  The canteen of the factory was temporarily converted into a meeting room. There were two maps on the meeting table, one was for Leizein and the other was for the government building.

   "Mortensen, Sival, how is the preparation of weapons?" Morais changed into simple and capable clothes today, making his aura more pure and direct.

"The total weapons prepared so far are enough to arm more than 1,570 people, and the ammunition is enough for us to fight with full firepower for four hours." The two elected representatives to report, "In addition, there are also enough explosives .”

   "Where's the armed training?" Morais looked at Keating.

  Keating also got to know the cadres in charge of the armed training before, and immediately replied when Morais asked: "Currently, 1,700 people have been trained, and 1,628 of them are qualified."

   "Army Depot and Exposition Over there."

"The military warehouse has attracted the attention of the government. At present, the government has withdrawn at least hundreds of troops there, and it is estimated that there will be thousands of people before we act. The expo is also near the closing ceremony. During the time, we will continue to strengthen our defenses." Charles said.

Morais nodded, very satisfied with the completion of several missions, he pointed to Laizein's map: "We tried to use various methods to disperse the government's forces, but that's the case, the government building The defensive force on the border will still not be less than a thousand people. In other words, we have a very tough battle to fight, and this battle will last for quite a while."

   More than a dozen cadres stood up one after another, lined up on both sides of the conference table, and bent over to look at the map.

"Therefore, we have to find ways to delay the return of troops from other parts of the government. The first arrangement is to cut off the telephone lines around the government. Second, we have to create chaos in many places in the city of Laizein to confuse the public. Morais calmly introduced the battle plan, "Mortensen and Sival are responsible for these two parts."

   "Understood." Mortensen and Sival agreed in unison.

   "During Operation No. 4, the intelligence department must immediately rescue the three comrades in the military warehouse." Morais glanced at Verak before telling Charles, "Be sure to complete the mission."

   "Understood." Charles said.

  Villac had the intention to cooperate with Charles to rescue Diaz, Nord, and Murphy, but Morais did not arrange for him to go there. He guessed that he would participate in the attack on the government building.

"And then there is the matter of harassing the Expo." Morais' fingertips slid from the government building to the Mona Hall, "We must not use force here, we can only promote the concept of equality through gentle means. Wait for the people from the government to take action At that time, attract the firepower to Chloe and the others, and let them be forced to participate, helping us to contain the government's heavy troops. Li Meng and Liszt are responsible for this task."

   "Opinion offensive, Piaf."

   "Logistics, casualty care, Olak, Karl."

   "Preparation combat team, Rhett."

   "Retreat Leader, Frank."

  …

  Morais made arrangements, and the miscellaneous tasks took most of the cadres present, leaving only six cadres including Verac and Keating who have not yet made arrangements.

"The remaining people, together with me, are responsible for completing the most difficult and critical task of attacking the government building." Morais stood in front of the simple floor plan of the government building, "The worst possible thing is that the troops outside are at the first stage of our attack. Time will get the news. In this way, we must take down the government building within 20 minutes, excluding the time for our safe evacuation. If we fail, the price will be a serious blow to our internal and people's confidence in resistance, and we will face Come the real winter."

  Verak silently looked at the floor plan.

"Of course, we don't want to completely take down the government buildings. Even if it may take a long, long time, the situation tells us that we can only solve it quickly." Morais pointed at the security guards in the government buildings. Ministry of Intelligence Bureau, "Our main focus of attack is here. If we capture it, it is equivalent to capturing the government building, and we can also rescue Chairman Boyne, Comrade Daniel, and Comrade Veraker's friend Ross..."

  —

  In the terminus of Chloe’s faction in the North District

The people under Chloe also secretly investigated the sites of the Morais faction in the shortest possible time, and found that not only the main station, but all the sites of the Equality Society under the jurisdiction of Morais had been secretly replaced, and the original ones had become empty shells. It is necessary to keep a few people to maintain the operation on the surface, or simply leave the building empty.

  After getting the news, the atmosphere in the conference room was terribly depressed.

   "Speak, does anyone have any ideas?" Chloe urged the cadres to express their opinions on this.

   "Obviously, there will be some recent moves by Morais, and it is very likely that it will be aimed at us."

   "They kept it so secret, and the transfer was completed recently. I think it should be related to the closing ceremony of the World Expo. They are probably determined to continue fighting with the government."

   "According to this, they reached a consensus with us just to stabilize us, lest we disrupt their situation? Damn these bastards, don't let us disrupt their situation, they will disrupt our situation instead!"

   Now there is no voice to excuse Morais in the conference room.

  The facts are in front of everyone.

   "Then what do you think we should do next?" Chloe was already mentally prepared, so there was no emotional fluctuation on the surface, and she asked coldly.

   "We must not fall into a passive position. We must act before Morais and the others take action, so that it is possible to save the situation."

   "I agree, God knows how many things Morais has done during the period of deceiving us. I am afraid we have no advantage. If we lose the opportunity to make a move, things will really get out of control."

   "I also agree. Now they deceived us first, and we can make our choices with peace of mind without mercy."

  Everyone agrees that since they have completely torn faces with Morais now, they should not continue to be indecisive, but should seize everything that can be used to regain control of the situation.

Chloe listened patiently for a while, until the subordinate's voice gradually disappeared, before nodding: "What everyone said makes sense. Morais deceived us, so don't blame us for dealing with them in reverse. Look at who It is for the sake of equality, for the sake of the people, that we can achieve our demands with the least loss."

   "So what are we going to do?" the subordinate asked.

   "There are still three days before the World Expo, and they will definitely make a move at the Expo..." Chloe was a little hesitant at the moment, and his next choice would determine the fate of the entire Equality Association.

   Is to call Morais and stop him.

   Or contact the government first and disclose the situation to the government?

  The former is an affair. The latter can not only stop the Morais faction, but also show the government that the Equality Association really wants peace talks, and is sincerely willing to believe that the government can solve their demands.

   "President?" When a subordinate called Chloe, he had already called the president.

  They think that Chloe is the one who can lead them to the end and realize their ideals.

"Call Morais first." Chloe was deeply moved by her own humanity, "Although they deceived us, we can't be arrogant and give up so many comrades who have worked together. Do it one last time Try, if Morais insists on his ideas, we can only join forces with the government first."

   "Good." The cadres have no objection.

  Chloe called Morais.

  —

"Some of our people are currently deployed in the government building. Although there are not many, it is better than nothing." Morais asked the cadres assigned tasks to leave first to make their own preparations, and then talked to the rest The battle plan, "Before we attack, they will tamper with the food in the government building, and destroy part of the opponent's combat power in advance to the maximum extent..."

   "Comrade Morais." Andre strode into the cafeteria, interrupting Morais' voice.

   Morais looked away from the map: "What's wrong?"

   "Your call." Andre said, "It's Comrade Chloe."

   "Chloe..." Morais was in a daze, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "What is he calling at this juncture?"

   "He didn't say the reason, just said he was looking for you."

  Morais put down his pen, looked at Verac, Keating and others: "I'll go over there, you guys study first."

  After Morais followed Andre and left to answer the phone, Verac turned to look at Keating: "What do you think Chloe is calling at this time?"

   Keating followed the map for too long, his eyes were a little sore, and he was rubbing the bridge of his nose to relax: "The closing ceremony of the expo will be soon. Maybe he is still a little worried about Morais, so I want to make sure."

   "I hope." Verak's intuition told him that the situation was not that simple.

   "What do you think?" Keating heard that Verac didn't think so.

"I think Chloe might have noticed something." Verak squinted his eyes, listening to the other people discussing the details of the battle plan, "And if he noticed something, he could really do anything come out."

  Keating slowly put down his hand rubbing the bridge of his nose, and opened his tired eyes: "If it's as you guessed, there is a high probability that our battle plan will be forced to abort."

   "It's better if nothing happened." Verak wished in his heart.

  —

   "Hello, I'm Morais." Morais answered the phone.

   "What are you busy with? It takes you so long to make a call." Chloe on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.

  Morais was not in a hurry to explain his situation, but also inquired about the other party's details: "What's the matter with you, you can't let someone tell me, I have to answer the phone in person."

   "Nothing, just asking about your plans for the next few days."

"What are your plans for the next few days?" Morais guessed that Chloe was going to ask these things. They talk, decide what needs to be done, and get out the bill that needs to be passed."

   "That's all?"

   "What else? What else do I have to do?"

  Chloe sighed helplessly, "Oh, but I heard that you are not very law-abiding, and you make small and big moves frequently, as if you are plotting something."

Morais knew that Chloe must have some information, otherwise he would not say such things inexplicably to test him, but knowing this, he still chose to pretend to be stupid before the other party did not tear his face: "What plot? You What kind of joke is this. The New Year has passed, this thing is boring."

   "Where are you now?" Chloe asked, "In the South District? Or in the North District? Or out of Lazein?"

   Morais' face turned completely cold.

   Chloe knew about their transfer.

  There are so many of them, so many sites to be transferred, it is impossible to completely avoid Chloe's eyeliner, and it is already very impressive to be able to persist for so long before being discovered. But Morais was still a little annoyed and regretful. If only Chloe knew about it two days later, when they finished fighting the government building, everything would be settled.

  Now I know that it is equivalent to cutting off their way abruptly.

   "Is this important?" Morais stalemate with Chloe.

   "Then what do you think is important? Is it your own self-interest that is important, or the equality society and the people's overall situation?" Chloe didn't have the patience to pretend anymore, and asked Morais.

   Morais wasn't angry because Chloe labeled her own struggle as "self-interested": "What do you want when things have come to this?"

   "Actually, I hesitated for a long time before calling you. Do you know what I was hesitating about? I was hesitating whether to call you first and give you one last chance to choose, or just give up on you and contact the government."

"Give me one last chance to choose? You mean you agree to follow the method you formulated, choose to trust the government, and give up fighting?" Morais couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard Chloe say that he wanted to contact the government .

   While they were desperately fighting against the irreconcilable government, Chloe considered siding with the government.

  This is a blatant betrayal of the Equality Society!

"It's not that simple anymore." Chloe sneered, trying to let Morais feel his disappointment, "After you make a choice this time, I will send someone to take over your work until the new bill is introduced .”

  New bills will not be introduced in this lifetime because of Chloe's compromise, which means that Morais' power will never come back once it is handed over.

  But Morais didn't simply refuse this request that no one would accept, because if he opened his mouth now, Chloe would hang up the phone and turn to the government for cooperation.

   "Either we meet up."

  In any case, Chloe must be stabilized first to delay the time. Only in this way can we have time to think about countermeasures. Prepare countermeasures for each possible situation that may arise.

   Morais avoided answering, and tried to invite him to meet.
