Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 274 Face them up as your opponents face themselves

There were a lot of people. Facing hundreds of pairs of gazes on him, Winston was not nervous, but also very happy to work with so many people with lofty ideals: "Hi everyone, I am Winston from Pullman. .”

   Boyne stood in the crowd, repeating Winston's words aloud in Bresci.

  After Boyne finished speaking, Winston continued: "Everyone should know that the Internationale was composed by me. I also only learned about the existence of the Equality Society not long ago, and that you are looking for me against all odds."

   As he spoke, Winston bowed in four directions, thanking everyone for the high expectations placed on him.

After bowing, Winston looked at everyone with excitement: "I really like a sentence that Comrade Boyne said to me on the way to Brecy. He said that there are not only equal societies in this world who are fighting , the Equality Society is just the first to stand up. It may not be the one that plays a vital role in this transformation of the old and new world, and it will not even persist until the day when the dawn comes, but it must have its existence the value of."

   Winston paused at the right time after speaking, giving Boyne time to translate.

  Villac glanced at Murphy, Piaf, Elizabeth and others who were standing not far from him, smiled and nodded slightly to them.

"This sentence touched me very much, because when I was fighting alone, I always doubted myself in the middle of the night, thinking about whether the things I did were worthwhile and meaningful. Now I know, whether I succeed or fail, As long as you do it, everything is worth it.”

   "I am honored to be able to fight side by side with everyone, no matter what level we achieve, we will contribute the best of ourselves to the new world."

   After finishing speaking, Winston bowed deeply to everyone again.

  The crowd surrounding him burst into applause.

  This is not just a simple self-introduction by Winston, but also an appropriate encouragement to everyone.

   "Okay, let's all go back and rest!" After introducing Winston, whom everyone was looking forward to, Morais waved his hand to signal the dismissal, "I want to talk about the past, but if there are any problems, we will discuss them tomorrow!"

   Everyone knew that the Equality Council was under the pressure of Francois. Boyne and others wanted to hold a meeting immediately when they came back, so they met and got acquainted with Winston and then dispersed, leaving the cadres to go to the conference room for a meeting.

  A group of cadres in the Equality Association learned that Boyin was coming back, so they rushed back from various places in advance and gathered in the conference room.

  Small half a year ago, when we were studying the attack on government buildings, ten chairs on each side of the conference table were more than enough, but now there are twenty chairs on each side of the conference table.

Most of them are familiar faces, such as Piaf who became the head of the Propaganda Department after the Equality Council was strengthened and rectified, Diaz, Nord, and Murphy who officially became the mainstay, Charles, the Minister of Intelligence, and the backbone of the attack on the government plan Power, Rabin, Andrew, Menno, Barnett, Mortensen, Seval, Limon, Lister, Oracle, Carl, Red, Frank, etc.

   "There are so many people." Verak entered the meeting room and couldn't help sighing.

   "Now our members have expanded to tens of thousands of people, and we have established workers' night schools and so on. There are not many cadres and we can't be busy at all." Nord said behind him.

   "Okay, everyone take their seats." Morais and Boyne came to the main seat and asked Verac, Keating, and Winston to sit down.

  Privately, a few people can speak Welland, and Winston can be accommodated to communicate in Welland, but the dozens of cadres of the Equality Association hold meetings, and they still use Bresci as the main language. Therefore, in order to help Winston translate during the meeting, Willak and Keating, who spoke Wellandish, sat on his left and right respectively.

  After everyone sat down, Morais glanced at the time on his watch. It was now 3:11 in the morning: "The time is tight, so I will trouble everyone to have a meeting so late."

  The meeting started quickly, and Veraker and Keating began to translate to Winston in a low voice.

"This is our new comrade, Winston. Presumably everyone has just learned about it through his self-introduction, but the others will not be put in the meeting. You can communicate more in private." Morais looked Glancing at Winston, he cut to the point, "Since the François coup, we have faced unprecedented shocks. In the past, the government was held back by things such as the World Expo, and we were able to deal with them in places where they couldn't spare and did not dare to act rashly. But now they are concentrating on eliminating us at the expense of short-term interests, and the huge gap in strength between us and them is immediately revealed."

"I have learned about the situation from Nord." Boin said immediately, "François has a clear understanding of us, and this time he took an action that hit our vitals directly. He saw that we are deeply tied to the people The same enemy, he tried to strip us, and let us lose our greatest support and development potential. He saw that we had repeatedly used armed forces, so he sent troops to the city to prevent us from fighting. Now we are tied hands and feet and can only be slaughtered. I think the only way to do it is to block the two swords that Francis made at us, to stab back, and to make a strong counterattack."

   "You mean, we can't hide from the edge for the time being, we have to resolve the crisis under pressure, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack?" Piaf confirmed the meaning of Boyin, who advocated tough struggle just after returning.

   "That's right." Boyin nodded.

   Small commotion in the conference room.

  Actually, before Boyne came back, because he hadn’t figured out a solution for a long time, the voices among them suggesting to withdraw from Laizein’s development began to rise little by little.

  Some people think that Francois’s two moves are invulnerable to the current Equality Association. Their best way is to leave Lezine temporarily, which can not only ensure the safety of the people of Lezine, but also reduce the pressure.

  Follow-up, vigorously develop in response to the shortcomings, and then wait for the opportunity, and return to Laizein when there is a suitable time like the World Expo.

  However, Morais did not agree with it at the beginning, and now Boyne is determined to leave the meaning of resistance. The two backbones want to be tough, and this idea will basically not come true.

   Fortunately, after parting ways with the weak faction headed by Chloe and a group of people who had expected the government, the mainstream voice in the Equality Association still confronted the government head-on. They were not surprised by Boyin's words, let alone hard to accept.

"The problem is indeed very difficult. To be honest, I haven't figured out a solution yet. But it's normal. If a solution is found easily, it won't be Francois who personally set up the game." Boyin did not show any signs of The worry that he couldn't think of a solution before, but a confident and strategizing look, "Actually, I think this is also a good thing. It allows us to recognize the status quo, not to be immersed in the small successes of the past, and to underestimate the potential to change the world. Difficulty. From today, we should face them as the government faces us.”
