Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 286 Mourning will eventually win

  April 18th

  Laizein, Equality Association Terminal, Auditorium

"Today, with great grief, we are here to mourn the comrades who died in the old South Treaty the day before yesterday." At the mourning meeting, President Boyne of the Equality Association stood alone on the stage and spoke, "Some of them were born in poverty, some of them We have a good family background, some were our enemies, some are still young...We are not in the same world, we would not have crossed each other, because of our common ideals, our destiny is intertwined."

  The audience was crowded with people, none of them was sitting, and they were all leaning against each other, solemnly looking at Boyin with a deep voice.

Among them, Verac, Keating, Morais, Piaf, Diaz, Nord, Murphy and others standing in the first row all stand very straight, and hope to express in the most solemn and serious way Condolences to the fallen comrades.

"We often say to ourselves that revolutions are often accompanied by sacrifices, and sacrifices are often accompanied by us. We are a group of people who will die at any time, but in fact, who would not want to live until the day when the new world comes, to see and enjoy the world created by our own hands? What about the equality and beauty created?" Boyne said, "We must think, and they must also think, but they really can't see it, and the tens of thousands of comrades who sacrificed in the past can't see it."

   "Huh..." Verak exhaled lightly, trying to relax himself and not be too sad.

Boyin glanced at the hundreds of people who were packed in the audience: "I don't know and I'm not sure if my idea is correct, I think...the only way to keep them alive is that we continue to fight and let us look forward to The longing has come true. I, and some of you, may not see that day coming. It may be an uphill struggle for generations, but it will always be as long as we never give up. There will be a day when it succeeds. Because evil can never defeat justice, because no one can imprison our free hearts, and no one can trample on our dignity..."

   At the end, Boyin's eyes were moist.

  No one of them knows whether they can succeed. There is no precedent for this. This is a road that has never been traveled.

  Success or failure is not up to them. They just rely on a belief, so they encourage each other to come to the present.

  April is black for the Equality Association. In April last year, Francis, the founder of the Equality Association, was assassinated and killed. Chris, who took up the heavy responsibility not long after, was also hit hard. Now that April is coming again, another deep scar has been added to the history of the Equality Association, like a short reincarnation. I don’t know if it will repeat itself.

   "...they died, but I hope they are still alive." Boyne said a long eulogy, "All stand up, observe three minutes of silence, and play a mourning song."

  The dirge played.

  Hundreds of comrades who participated in the mourning meeting stood up straight and slightly bowed their heads, mourning the sacrificed comrades.

   Bowed his head to listen to the mourning music, mourning Sarah, Eve, Monroe, Willow, Boss Xin, Lao Jin, Ruffalo and others, and Verac calmed down.

  —It won’t be long before I’m good enough to learn Bresci and go to Lezein to study, and hopefully we’ll meet there again then.

  —Yes, we will bring more advanced ideas when the time comes, and you may be the first group of people to contact.

  Life is like this. People who think they will fight to the end together in the future, but after meeting for a while, they will never see each other again.

  Countless lives have broadened the boundaries of success, and flesh and spirit have become the banner that flies forever.

  Three minutes is very long and extremely short.

  As Rose's slender fingers slowly lifted from the last key, a silent mourning for those comrades in the simple hall of the small factory came to an end.

  People gradually raised their heads, and their gazes gradually refocused on Boyin.

  Boin just repeated a sentence as usual: "The great life is indomitable, and we will win in the end."

  —

  The revolutionary cause is still going on, and everyone can only ask themselves to be sad for a while. After the mourning service, they left one after another and returned to their respective posts, picking up their own jobs to tide over the difficulties together.

  The cadres who will play an important role in the follow-up actions gathered in the conference hall, waiting for Boyne and Morais to make the final deployment.

"...That's the way it is. Mr. Adel has contacted Joseph, the commander of the cavalry regiment currently stationed in Laizein, and pushed us to reach a cooperation. We are about to do three things to reverse the situation and win this victory "Boin said clearly, "The first is to assassinate Pissel, help Joseph take his place, and lead the three regiments. The second is to tilt the power of propaganda towards the army, and treat the enemy as a life of worthless and tools. , wake up and become our compatriots. The third thing is to gradually erode and control the government and regain the right to change the world. In addition to these three things step by step, in addition to our main development route, we also need to establish club schools, establish experimental factories, Open up our sub-stations, further strengthen our power, and complete the puzzle of the new world."

  When the dozens of cadres present heard such a large-scale arrangement, they all communicated in low voices.

   "Chairman." A cadre looked at Adel and said, "We put our hope on the people of the government. Can this work? In case of failure, we can't bear the price."

   "We have no better choice at present, and Joseph is not a member of the government. We have already begun to take precautionary measures to guard against emergencies." Boyne replied.

   "So much work, can we do it now?" Someone asked again.

   "This is not a multiple-choice question, we can only do it." Morais-Senboin replied step by step.

Boyin saw that many people were still a little bit guilty. After all, this is the first time that the Equality Association has made so many deployments at the same time, and officially entered a larger historical stage: "I understand everyone's thoughts. We are facing many difficulties this time. The challenge is a very big test for our ability. But the current situation is such that history will only push us forward, and will not stop at will to give us a chance to rest. We must do this, and it is time to make a decision Is there a battle for equality in this country."

   Morais followed: "This is our best chance, we have nothing to lose, let's give it a go."

   "Arrange the tasks." Piaf was the first to break the uncertain atmosphere, and made a powerful voice, asking Boyne and Morais to arrange the work directly.

   "That's right, you can arrange it." Nord said afterwards.

   "Arrange it, I can do anything."

   “Leave the hard work to me.”

   "I promise to get the job done!"

  One after another stood up and supported Boyne's decision.

   This is the Equality Association, the Equality Association that has been twisted into one rope.

  Verak and Keating smiled at each other, and nodded to Boyne.

   Soon, some cadres in the conference hall were uncertain about whether it would be feasible to do so. They all chose to support Boyin, believed in Boyin, and waited to be dispatched.

Boyin was extremely moved, and his face gradually became more confident. He calmly arranged: "The assassination of Pissel is the starting point of all actions. As the commander of the three corps, Pissel usually has a strong defense force. If the assassination fails, they will be even more vigilant, and then we will completely lose the slight possibility of winning. Therefore, we only have one chance to assassinate Pissel, and we are only allowed to succeed and not fail. This matter is left to the War Department. Morais and Adel are jointly responsible."

   "Understood!" Morais responded loudly, "I promise to complete the task!"

  Adel was not as excited as Morais, but thinking that Pissel was about to die by his hands, he still said: "Piercell will definitely die by my hands."

"Propaganda to the army must be handed over to the Propaganda Department. Piaf, the army is different from civilians. They have strict discipline and want to get through. It is very difficult to awaken them. You must do it. "Boyin looked at Piaf.

   "Guaranteed to complete the task." Piaf was ready to do a big job.

"After assassinating Pissel, Joseph succeeded in taking the position, and after the three corps were awakened, it means that we have secretly mastered a force that can sweep Laizein head-on. But this is not enough. Two of Laizein's The guard regiment is not a problem, but there are nearly a hundred regiments scattered in other places, and we are still powerless to fight against them, so we will not openly let Joseph defect, but use his cover to continue to accumulate strength and start to control the government bit by bit , seize power, and then pass the government’s positive promulgation of bills and deployment of corps to change this country.” Boyne said.

   This step is the main reason why everyone is talking about it.

  They have been fighting the government for so long, and have fought many battles, big and small, but when it comes time for them to seize power, controlling the entire country seems to be a very distant and illusory thing.

  In the past, there were only a few dozen people, and they couldn’t even eat enough. They could only hide in the dilapidated warehouse and talk about the equality society in the new world. Is it really to the point where they want to lead this country?

  Many people still have an idea in their hearts, that is, only the government can manage the country well, and it is difficult for them to control such a big thing.

"The feasibility is good, but it may take a few years of dormancy." Keating, as the only person present who had been in a high position and assisted the king in managing the country, expressed his opinion and helped everyone dispel their worries. "If we completely To overthrow the government and manage the country suddenly, then we must be greeted by the complete collapse and chaos of Bresci. Because none of us has management experience, ranging from the country's finances and diplomacy to the small things that directly confront the people's guards, Judge, we can't go straight to everything and achieve the stability that it took decades for the government to run safely. This is part of the reason why we took down the government building and had to retreat, and why most of you have no confidence now."

  Keating's words touched everyone's heart.

  In the final analysis, what they are afraid of is that they cannot manage the country well.

"But the premise of all this is what if. We didn't do this at the beginning, and we will certainly not be so reckless today. The key to the feasibility of President Boyne's idea is that we are not directly subverting everything, but secretly giving the government Change blood, replace with our people step by step, and let our people gradually master the ability to manage the country. When this is done, we can formally seize power and change everything." Keating broke Boyne's ideas and smashed them into pieces To help everyone digest, "So the few years we need are to allow us to squeeze François and other powerful forces out of the current government's power system and management system, occupy it ourselves, and then change it and subvert it. "

"Comrade Keating is right. If we face head-to-head, we will face hundreds of corps. If we choose to lie dormant, we can achieve our goals with minimal losses and master this power to liberate everyone." Boyin said with both hands. Pressing on the table, leaning forward, "Joseph's defection is our best chance, its power is enough to sweep Laizein, and it can also help us break into the government, so that our voice no longer only exists in the dark and in the corner .”

"To put it simply, if we want to change, we must come to this step. This step may be a bit early for some people, and it may be a bit late for others. In short, it is coming now, and we have no reason to miss it. , still fight hard and wait for the next opportunity." Morais repeated with his own simple and straightforward understanding.

"This matter is the core of the plan, and it is the most important part. It can be said that other layouts are made for this matter." Boyne said, "The establishment of the workers' night school and the preparation of our club school are to cultivate Powers other than the powerful and the bourgeoisie. The establishment of a cooperative factory is to establish the future direction of the country and how the people can achieve equality. We don’t take any extra steps, and everything has its meaning and value. Okay, let’s move on Let's vote by hand, the old rules, the minority obeys the majority."

   Boyne and Morais raised their hands first.

   Soon, Verac, Keating, Piaf, Nord, Diaz, Murphy and others raised their hands.

  In the end, most people agreed with Boyne's deployment.

Boyin nodded slightly, and with the full support of the cadres, he felt more confident: "Nord and Murphy, the two of you will be officially transferred from the workers' night school from today to assist Comrade Keating in preparing the club school and cultivating talents in all aspects. After the three corps defect, we won't have to hide like this anymore, when the time comes Verac will assist Winston to set up a factory according to his ideas and conduct experiments to see if the theory he researched is feasible and how to improve it."

"clear."

"clear."

   "Charles, your intelligence department must do its best to assist in the assassination of Pissel and propaganda work."

"clear."

"It stands to reason that our side is under great pressure. We should shrink the development of other areas and concentrate on solving the current problems. But the time is not waiting for me. We need to fully exert our efforts. Liszt, take charge of the coordination department, and ensure that all sub-stations When it is safe, provide them with timely support and let them do it." Boyin dispatched troops.

   "Understood." Liszt, who was once a professor of sociology at the Imperial University of Brescia and is now the head of the Coordinating Department, agreed.

   "The logistics department, the finance department..." After assigning the tasks one by one, Boyin breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone, the tide of the times has come, and we will eventually win!"
