Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 296 Their dream is

  Verak left Murphy's room.

He recounted what Keating told him to Murphy, but the relationship between Murphy and Diaz was more complicated and deeper than that between comrades. The parting of life and death, whether or not how long it will take to get out is still unknown.

  Passing in front of Winston's door, Veraker didn't go in to find him to work with, but went back to his room and sat at the desk to meditate.

  Is a person really dead when he dies?

   For this group of people, the concept of death should be more special.

  Verak thought for a while, unless the Equality Society fails, the whole army is wiped out, and there will be no more fire in this world, otherwise he will not die no matter what.

  The body can be defeated, the soul cannot.

  But when countless individuals converge into a powerful force, are the individuals no longer individuals?

   They are still themselves.

  Then, the individuals who sacrificed should not be ignored or forgotten because the gathered power is too strong, they need to be remembered.

  Villac doesn’t actually have the habit of writing. The only two things he writes are the notes on “Theory of Equality” and “Theory of Class”, and the other is the words of encouragement he wrote down for himself from time to time in Damans Prison.

  At this moment, he opened the drawer, took out a brand new notebook, and wrote something down with a pen.

  Arnold Colin.

  Twenty-four years old.

  Native from Lezein, Brescia Republic.

  My family was poor, and I was framed and arrested in Daimans Prison, and then I successfully escaped from prison with me.

  He has a rough appearance and a delicate mind. He is good at organizing and leading.

  In 1433, not long after I escaped from prison, I was arrested again by the government. I chose to commit suicide because I didn’t want to tell the information about me under the torture of the government.

  Luda Daniel.

  Twenty years old.

  Native from Lezein, Brescia Republic.

  Both my parents are workers, they joined the Equality Association at a young age, and they were my driver in the first place, helping me deliver information.

  This kid is very young, full of vigor, cheerful and optimistic, always grinning, and often tells me that when we change the world, his parents will not be so tired anymore.

  In 1433, when attacking the government building, he was shot and died to protect Boyin from evacuating safely.

  Patrick Willow.

  Native of Old South York City, United States of Dunman.

  Mr. Keating said that he looks a lot like his father Wilson, both mustaches, sunken eye sockets, tall and thin. He grew up in the tavern handed over to his father by Mr. Keating, dealing with gangsters.

  His personality is the same as his father's, gentle and kind, with a hint of confusion about the future. His dream is to be a doctor, teacher, build a hospital, and a school after the arrival of the new world, not only to help the poor, but also to help them learn knowledge and get rid of poverty.

  In 1434, he died in the old South York because of the suppression by the government.

   Larry Sheen.

  Because he was the famous leader of the Blood Knife Gang in the old South York, everyone called him Boss Xin. He runs a slaughterhouse and helps Willow run the saloon. He fought with Willow's father and was saved by Willow's father.

He is greedy for money, but he values ​​love and righteousness more than greed for money. After the death of his benefactor Wilson, he wholeheartedly wanted to make Willow the next boss of the Blood Knife Gang, but after Willow chose to join the Equality Society, he unconditionally led The Blood Knife Gang supports his dream.

  In 1434, he died in the old South York because of the suppression by the government.

  Osmond Monroe.

  Thirty-four years old.

  A native of Morris City, Jose County, Brescia Republic.

When he was young, he killed an aristocrat who oppressed civilians in Brescia, and later fled all the way to Dunman’s Old South Treaty, where he joined forces with Brescias who also escaped to form the Sea Rat Gang, a fellowship association, to jointly protect the safety of the settlers .

  He has great skills and has always been unrestrained. He likes to laugh and pat people on the shoulder. He has been lazy and drunk all year round. After realizing the equal society, he was gradually infected by us and decided to regain the value of life.

  In 1434, he died in the old South York because of being suppressed by the government.

   Sarah…

   Yves…

  Old gold...

  Apu…

   Ruffalo…

  Elu Diaz.

   Twenty-eight years old.

  Menglege Empire Menglege city people.

Their family used to open a fighting gym in the city of Montrego. Due to the chaos in Montrego, their fighting gym couldn't even make ends meet. In addition, their younger brother Murphy was seriously ill, so they finally chose to leave their hometown. Become a boxer in Laizein's underground boxing ring. Later, he was rescued by me and joined the Equality Association with his recovered younger brother.

  Diaz's skin is a bit dark, his eyes are firm but not sharp, his personality is calm and reticent, and he is often ignored by others standing there. At the same time, he is very reassuring, everything can be done satisfactorily, and he never disappoints. His dream is to return to Montrego with his younger brother Murphy one day in the future, to end the chaotic rule of the careerists there, and let the people live a free, equal and beautiful life.

  In 1434, when performing a mission in Laizein, he died in order to cover the evacuation of others.

  Wilak didn't know how long it took him to write, it filled a third of the notebook's pages before he recorded all the sacrificed comrades he knew.

   "Huh..." He exhaled and closed the notebook.

  I still have some regrets in my heart.

  He is not very good at writing, and feels that his writing is messy, and he fails to write down the information, experiences, emotions, sorrows and joys of these comrades completely and accurately.

  I can only wait for it to be added slowly in the future, so that when people in the future read this book, they can clearly feel that there is a group of living people like them who have given their all.

  It's getting dark outside.

  He put the notebook in the drawer and put "Class Theory" right in front of him.

  People still have to move forward. Before they can realize the new world, they still need to move forward with heavy burdens.

  —

  Laizein, Camp of the 1st Cavalry Regiment

  Pisel's death caused an uproar in the Corps.

  The soldiers couldn't help discussing in private how unfathomable the equality that has never been revealed in its entirety would be, and who the next general would be.

   There are undoubtedly three strong candidates for the general, and they are the commanders of the three corps under Pissel's command.

  Colonel Joseph, head of the First Cavalry Regiment.

  Colonel Benson, commander of the Seventh Light Infantry Regiment.

  Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey, commander of the 15th Light Infantry Regiment.

   Among them, the first two are the most popular among them. Colonel Joseph has a remarkable record and high prestige, and Colonel Benson has a strong background and many fans.

   It will not surprise anyone to become a general.

  Of course, everyone in the cavalry regiment hoped that Joseph would take up this important position.

  Joseph was born in poverty, never put on airs and think highly of himself, and has always treated everyone peacefully, which made his subordinates very convinced him.

   Ross and others who were undercover in the cavalry regiment camp learned that Pissel was dead, and understood that the first step of the plan had been successfully completed, and the next step was up to them.

   "I feel that Colonel Benson will take over Pissel's position in the end. After all, his family is very powerful in Laizein, and I heard that he has a good relationship with His Excellency the President..."

   "But Colonel Benson shouldn't dare. The Equality Council can assassinate General Pissel once. Who can guarantee that he will be safe after he takes office?"

   "That's right. Now everyone has nothing to do with the Equality Association. If the Equality Association will not be eliminated for a day, no one can sit in this position at ease."

   "For sure, life is more important than position. If they want to choose, they can only choose Colonel Joseph who has no background."

   "In other words, this is not a good thing for our regiment leader? After the equality society is wiped out, I am afraid that this position will have to be replaced?"

   "As long as the Equality Association is still there, the leader should have no problem."

  Two soldiers of the cavalry regiment inspected the work of the maintenance personnel in the warehouse while discussing who would become the general and what were the pros and cons of being a general.

   Rose, who was checking the weapons on the side, heard the conversation of the soldiers, and said abruptly: "Equality will not be defeated."

   "Huh?" The two soldiers turned to look at Rose, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the Equality Society is fighting for the people." Seeing that the two soldiers were interested in what he said, Ross did not feel disgusted, and immediately said, "With countless people as their backing, how could they be defeated? "

   "What about you? Do you support the Equality Association or the government?" The two soldiers looked at each other and asked with a smile.

Although this question is very difficult, the soldiers' tone was relaxed and they didn't mean to take it seriously. Ross simply said boldly: "Whoever treats civilians as human beings, whoever fights for civilians, and who can make civilians live a better life, I'll support whoever."

   "Then who do you think is most beneficial to civilians?"

   "Of course it is the Equality Association. Their pursuit has always been to allow civilians to live in an equal and free world, but the government is not. They will only oppress and treat the lives of civilians as nothing."

   "You know the Equality Association so well?" The soldiers became even more curious. They knew that the Equality Association would be difficult to deal with, but it was the first time they encountered civilians who supported it so firmly.

"Everyone in Laizein understands it. We have more or less witnessed the struggles of the Equality Association and the books they distributed to civilians." Ross said, "I have seen the practical things they did and the ones that are clear at a glance. Write If you read the book about how you should live as a human being, no one will support them."

  The soldier's eyes lit up, he looked around vigilantly, and then asked in a low voice, "You mean the theory of equality?"

"you saw it?"

   "No, dissemination of these books is strictly prohibited in the Corps." The soldier approached Ross a little bit, "We are quite curious about what is written in it? It makes you trust the Equality Association so much."

   "I do have it. If you want to see it, I can show it to you." After repeatedly judging that the soldier was really curious about "Equality", Ross threw out the bait.

  The soldier was even more surprised: "You have it? Isn't this a banned book? It should have been burned."

"Lize is so big, how could these things be banned? Many people have several copies." After Ross finished speaking, in order to avoid any accidents that would drag others down, he reminded in a serious manner, "Don't talk to us about this matter." Master Barron said that if he knew that I told you this, he would definitely drive me out of here."

   "Barron? That little boss who is in charge of maintaining guns?"

"right."

   "Don't worry, he's nothing, just bring it to us." A man in charge of maintaining guns is far from a threat in the eyes of soldiers, and they can't wait to read "Equality."

  Ross took advantage of the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the cavalry regiment: "Why are you two so curious about this book?"

"It's not just us. Most people in the Corps are very curious about what is in this book. We were stationed in other areas at the beginning. When we returned, we didn't know anything. We were directly responsible for the elimination of the Equality Society and how they developed. I am curious as to why they are so tenacious and can’t be wiped out.”

   "So to put it bluntly, you still don't quite know what kind of organization the Equality Society is?"

   "Disrupting the party, disturbing law and order and harming civilians - I thought so before, but the more I look at it now, the more it seems that this is not the case, otherwise I wouldn't be so curious to ask you."

  Ross got it.

  The three corps led by Pissel came once before when the Equality Association attacked the government building, and then they officially stationed in Laizein at the beginning of this month.

  They haven’t seen the development of the Equality Association all the way. They have patrolled and arrested, and the internal circulation of "Theory of Equality" is strictly prohibited, resulting in a vague impression of the Equality Association and many misunderstandings.

   In this way, it is extremely important for the Propaganda Department to enter the Corps to do propaganda.

  He believes that when these people really understand what equality will do, they will wake up after reading "Theory of Equality", and realize how important it is to pursue equality in an unequal environment, and they will definitely follow Joseph.

   "Hurry up and get the book, remember not to alarm others." When the soldier urged, he did not forget to ask Rose to be careful, fearing that the news would leak and they would cause trouble to them.

   "I didn't bring the book in. I came here to make money and make a living, not to promote anything, and your camp entry inspection is very strict. I might lose my head if I get caught." Ross shrugged.

   "That's true..." The two soldiers began to think about how to bring the book in.

   "But I can tell you." It was too risky to bring "Theory of Equality" in, at least for now, Ross decided to dictate the content so that the two could have a basic understanding.

   This is more secure, and there is no need to bear the risk of hiding banned books. The two soldiers readily agreed: "It would be best if you could tell us about it."
