Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 265 Winston

Boss Xin has acquaintances in the neighboring cities of the Old South. After following the map and taking Boyne and Keating there, Verac quickly boarded the train safely under the arrangement of his friends and headed for the northern border city. .

Half a year has passed since the end of the civil war in the Old South Treaty. When Veraker and Keating first arrived in the Old South Treaty two months ago, they hardly saw any traces of war. Get out completely.

   But leaving the old South, they crossed the entire country and saw a dilapidated scene that was completely different from the capital along the way.

  As the capital of the Old South Testament, the capital is changing with each passing day. Yesterday’s blood stains can be wiped away today, but other cities are different. They are old and sick. A war is a serious illness, and it will take a long time to recover even if it is fatal.

   Seeing this scene, Verak, who had never personally experienced war before, let alone traveled to many places, sank in his heart. In his eyes, the cost of war is extremely painful and unbearable, and he does not want to see such scenes spread all over the world.

  After leaving Dunman, where the real situation is difficult to describe, the group entered the Kingdom of Stirr, which was separated between the United States of Dunman and the Pluman Empire.

The journey of this trip was about twice as long as that of Verac, Keating and the others from Laizein to Old South York. Therefore, even though they took the train most of the time, they still met Pu on April Fool's Day. The people of the Luman Empire's Hanniton City gathered together.

  As early as December last year, the Equality Society spared no effort to set up a sub-station here because of Pluman’s more advanced ideas, and was committed to searching for the source of ideas in the short term. Now this sub-station not only found the source of that idea, but also became a convenient place for them to stay.

  "President." Lynn, the person in charge of the Pruman substation of the Equality Society, came to the station in person to welcome Boyne, Veraker, and Keating.

   "Long time no see." Boyin shook hands with this comrade who, like Sarah and Yves, was one of the thirty-eight reserve backbones who had been instructed by Veraker, "Do you still remember this one?"

  Lynn's eyes sparkled: "Of course I know. At that time, our group of people was leaving Laizein to set up sub-stations everywhere. Comrade Veraker once pretended to be Chairman Chris and spoke."

   "Hello." Verac smiled apologetically when he heard another person he had dealt with when impersonating Chris.

   "But I still admire you when you confessed your identity and helped the Equality Association a lot." The straightforward Lynn shook hands with Verak vigorously.

   "This is Comrade Keating." Boyne introduced Keating beside him.

  Lin En clasped his hands this time: "I have admired your name for a long time, and you are very welcome to join the Equality Association!"

  Boin glanced at Verak with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the place first to rest."

"Okay." Lynn took the three of them into a car and drove in one direction, "What you did in the Old South Treaty has made the governments of all countries more vigilant, for fear that equality will spread like an infectious disease to the rest of the world." Their place, make their place like Lezein and Old South Testament. During this period, even Pruman listed your arrest warrant, and strictly investigated the people with the background of Bresci. So we You have to be careful not to be too ostentatious."

   "Yes, at least they are starting to fear us." Boyne was optimistic.

   "That's why our Pruman sub-station has been acting very low-key recently. Apart from finding Winston's location and keeping an eye on him secretly, it didn't do anything else." Lynn said.

  Verak was a little confused about this: "I heard that the Pruman government was also looking for him. How did our people find him before the government? It stands to reason that the government is far stronger than us."

"The Equality Society has been hiding in Tibet for so many years, and it is still somewhat accomplished in evading the government's arrest." Lynn joked, "Winston has traveled to many places in recent years, and it is difficult to track down his whereabouts. It has happened recently It was rumored that he came to live in Hanniton, so we did the most detailed investigation in places with a higher possibility of hiding, and finally found him."

   "I really want to see him now." Verak couldn't hide his excitement, and couldn't wait to have a long talk with the man named Winston all night.

Even though Boyne was heading towards Winston on this trip, he was calm after the two parties were already in the same city: "He's right there, and there will be no danger or sudden surprise with our people staring at him. Flee to another place. Our top priority is to go to the substation to rest for a while, then plan the most appropriate contact method, and bring someone who is proficient in Bresi and Pruman to meet him."

   "Hmm." Verak just talked about it, and didn't really want to go straight to Winston as soon as he arrived in Pluman.

"Lynn, I remember that you are very good at Pruman, and it is also out of this consideration that you are temporarily appointed as the person in charge of the Pruman sub-station. When you go to see Winston, you will be responsible for the translation. , Help us communicate." When it came to translation, Boyin simply included Lynn in it.

  Lin En was planning to recommend himself, but after listening to Boyin's first arrangement, he readily agreed: "Okay, President."

Hanniton is one of the big cities in the Pluman Empire. Although it is not as prosperous as the imperial capital, it is enough to represent the best side of Pluman. It is a pity that even though it is a big city, it is still the same as Vilak's cognition There are some discrepancies.

   It took the four of them less than 20 minutes to arrive at the branch station established by the Equality Association in the name of opening a hotel.

  The hotel is located in the downtown area, not too far from the station, so the people coming and going are the most complicated, and it can help them cover in secret.

   "Dare to build a branch station under the noses of the enemy, there are not many other than you." Seeing that Lynn parked the car in front of a hotel where people come and go, Boyne praised.

"I can't compare this. If I lead people to attack the government building, I will definitely retreat to the suburbs like you. I haven't done anything now. In the eyes of everyone, I am just a group of ordinary people who are doing their jobs. Of course, there is no need to establish The backwoods hinders development." Lynn got out of the car and led the three of them into it.

The hotel is operating normally on the surface, and there are many real guests coming in and out, so after Lin En took a few people in, he didn't shout any news about the Equality Association, and asked his men to open it in the best place on the third floor. There are three rooms, and the three of them are arranged in turn.

  After the three of them packed their simple luggage, Lynn led them to the darkroom of the hotel.

  The space in the darkroom is not too big or small, with a large number of secret documents stored on one side, and a long table on the other side for meetings. There were two comrades sitting beside the long table. After seeing Boyin and the others coming in, they stood up and said hello: "President."

"They are my right-hand men, Alan, Vernal, and this is President Boyne, Comrade Verac, and Comrade Keating." Lynn introduced each other quickly, and then asked Boyne and others to sit down , "President Boyne and the others came here mainly to meet Winston. Let Alan explain in detail the information we have obtained from observing Winston during this period."

The young man named Allen nodded heavily, and said to Boyne, "President, we have found some new information about Winston. Winston has been hunted down by the Pullman government for about two years. During the years, he earns a meager salary by writing articles for others. He hardly goes out on weekdays, and all the money he has is used to buy newspapers and books except for food to maintain the most basic life... "

  Alan talked a lot, basically talking about how hard it is for Winston to live alone.

  Verak sighed.

   It seems that not everyone is lucky enough to meet Bole.

The founders of the Equality Society, Francis and Chris, were college classmates. When Francis established the Equality Society and struggled against the government, Chris, who was from a wealthy family, provided him with the most critical financial support. Later, he took over his important task and became a A new leader for the Equality Society.

  If Winston fails to last until their equality comes, I don't know what will happen.

   "It's a good thing we're here, and it's a good thing we're not fighting alone." Boyin was glad they could meet each other and learn from each other.

   "Yeah, seeing him still struggling in such a difficult environment, I can think of the most difficult days before our Equality Association." Lynn echoed, "Now it's time for us to give him a hand."

   "I also hope he can give us a hand." Keating said.

The Equality Society has lost Francis and Chris who are the best at pioneering ideas and theories, and the remaining Berne, Morais, Verac, Keating and others can only learn from their ideas, broaden a little, and innovate Has a big shortcoming.

   It is really rare for a like-minded person like Winston to surpass them in thought and theory by himself.

  Equality needs such people, and the world needs such people.

   "It's time to talk about going to see him." Boyin and the others finished their rest and had a more comprehensive understanding of Winston.

"There should be no special preparations to meet him, and you can go there at any time." Lynn got up, went to the shelf next to the file and took out a few books, "You ordered us to make books such as the theory of equality in Pruman , and these are the final finished products,"

  Boin, Veraker, and Keating each picked up a copy to read, but among them only Keting understood the meaning of a few words and said a few simple greetings, and was unable to determine whether the translation of the book was qualified.

   "Can you ensure that the translation is in place?" Boyne asked.

   "Don't worry about this. I personally stared at the translation. I checked the finished product several times to ensure that there were no problems before secretly printing dozens of copies." Lynn assured.

"When you go to see him, bring these books to him, and let him have a general understanding of our equal society." Boin put the books away, "Can I see him today? If possible, later I'll go after lunch."

  Lin En thought for a while: "No problem, I'll take you there after dinner. Vernal, I'll leave it to you to take care of the life issues of Chairman Boyne, Comrade Veraker, and Comrade Keating."

   Looking at his early thirties, Fennell responded with a kind face and asked the three of them what they wanted for lunch and what they needed.

The trip of the three of Boyin was very simple and neat. They basically took a few books and a change of clothes with them, and they were gone. They never thought about any difference in terms of living treatment. They asked for lunch to be the same as what everyone usually eats. Just don't specialize them.

  But Lynn didn't do what they said. For lunch, he prepared special Pruman food, pea soup, sausage, roast pork, etc. as treats.

"Pea soup with sausage is very delicious." Lynn was at the same table with the three of them, and he was full of praise for Pruman's food. "This roasted pork with sauerkraut is also very good, plus mashed potatoes, sauces, etc. How much do you want?" How much can I eat."

   "Does everyone else have this for lunch?" Boin asked Lynn instead of enjoying it first.

  Lin En laughed and said: "They all eat this at noon today. I know you don't like specialization. The main reason is that everyone is new here today. In addition, our hotel business is good and we are not in short supply. Some simple entertainment is still necessary."

   "You boy." Boyin smiled helplessly, motioning for a few people to eat.

  Verak ate a sliced ​​sausage first, and then took a bite of pea soup: "Delicious..."

Keating has traveled in Pullman, and he has a longer memory of food than the language he has almost forgotten: "I tasted this roast pork decades ago, and its aroma is different from ordinary I remember Pluman’s gnocchi, fish chowder, beef stew…”

   Lynn and Keating exchanged Pruman's cuisine, and after a brief understanding, he praised Keating's experience.

  Villac savored the food carefully. He felt that Pruman's special food was better than Dunman's.

  After lunch, after resting for half an hour, Lynn drove the three of them to a relatively remote and dilapidated poor neighborhood with low rent.

  Worried that the arrival of the car would alarm the cautious Winston, Lynn parked the car outside the block, and led the three of Boyne on foot to meet the members of the Equality Society who had been spying on Winston.

  "President Boyin!" The comrades of the Equality Association who were in charge of monitoring were extremely excited after seeing Boyin.

   "Tell me about the situation, how is Winston?" Lynn got straight to the point.

   "It's still the same this year. I went out to buy a piece of bread at noon and never came out again." The subordinate pointed to a room opposite the room where they were, with curtains drawn all day long.

  Verak came to the window and looked at the room whose floor was lower than theirs.

  Winston’s family is not as good as Chris’s, but he used to be a person who had no worries about food and drink, finished college safely, and had a bright future. It must be difficult for him to hide alone in such an environment, live the most difficult life, and open up the answer to the new world.

   "Is the surrounding safe?" Lynn kept confirming and exhorting to ensure that Boyin and their meeting were absolutely safe.

   "It's safe, there is no danger in the entire block." The subordinate said.

   "Strengthen your guard later, and let us know as soon as possible if there is any disturbance."

"Yes."

  Lin En looked at Bo Yin who also came to the window: "President, we can go there."
