Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 395 Run-in

   "It's easy to say, but the problem is how to implement it? It's not easy to install undercover agents inside the government." It's not that Vladislav didn't think about this possibility.

   "Could it be that the Bash government is monolithic?" Quentin asked.

   "It's...of course impossible." Vladislav replied.

   "Then there is always a chance." Quentin said.

Verac agrees with Quentin's opinion. This point can be referred to Laizein's situation, and some suitable officials can be used to coerce and lure them to obtain benefits: "I think Comrade Quentin's words are very good. This should be our solution to the internal crisis. main idea."

"To tell you the truth, we have tried this. We thought that since the government's intelligence department had placed undercover agents for us, we would buy the people there and obtain the list of undercover agents. First get rid of the undercover agents, and then plan the next step The action." Cosmo said, "But in the end we spent a lot of effort to obtain the list, most of the undercover agents in it were marked with comrades from the former sub-station...We have just merged with the Mutual Aid Association not long ago, and the main composition of the undercover agents is different. It should be us, so it is obvious that we have been deceived. If we hadn’t noticed that there was a problem with the list, we would have wiped out our own people, causing internal turmoil, and the result would have been even more disastrous..."

"It's not a surprise that the intelligence department is on guard against this trick, and they deliberately trick you." Quentin still insisted on this solution, "Then the real problem we need to solve is how to obtain the real list, or who to bribe to get the real list. .”

"That's right, do you have a list of the government and its intelligence agencies? We need to study and analyze who to attack based on their data." Verac's thinking was highly consistent with Quentin's, and he asked Cosmo for what they had enemy information.

  Kozmo and Vladislav looked at each other and shook their heads: "We don't know much about their situation..."

  Verak frowned subconsciously: "It's been more than a month since the branch station and the mutual aid association have merged? What have you done during this time?"

   The Bash sub-station fell into a comprehensive disadvantage in the struggle, and Verak accepted it, but he couldn't accept that he couldn't sort out a single piece of enemy personnel information after staying here for more than a month.

  The main station can’t invest so much here, and promote the merger of sub-stations and mutual aid associations, and then nothing can be done after more than a month, right?

"It's like this. Before our sub-station came, the workers' mutual aid association was already struggling, and it was on the verge of disbanding after being heavily infiltrated. Afterwards, our sub-station came over and merged with the mutual aid association, which inevitably attracted undercover agents. A more stringent policy was introduced, so that we were beaten to pieces before we had time to organize a counterattack..." Cosmo's face was not good.

   "Let me ask you a question, if we don't come, what are you going to do next?" Verak asked.

  Cosmo felt the invisible pressure: "First find a way to get rid of the undercover..."

   "Have you been undercover for more than a month? Have you figured out a solution?" Virak asked step by step.

   "We plan to withdraw the trustworthy ones first."

"and then?"

"Then…"

"How do you ensure that the one you trust is not an undercover agent, and how do you deal with those who have not betrayed you but were abandoned by you?" Verak felt that this method was too stupid, it could not be foolproof, and it would make some people cold Heart.

   "This matter is a problem of our Mutual Aid Association. If the International Equality League branch hadn't merged with us, we wouldn't have been in such a big trouble..." Vladislav spoke for Cosmo.

   There is some truth to what Vladislav said.

   It just makes sense.

  Verak's face was still indifferent and serious, with a sense of oppression: "Before the merger, didn't you have a basic understanding of the workers' mutual aid association, and didn't you know that it had been seriously infiltrated?"

   "I know." Cosmo said.

   "Then you just merged so directly?"

"I..." Cosmo hesitated, but finally said, "I think we need to face up to this problem. Is it possible that after removing these rebels, other people will not rebel after merging with us? Still will. I think Finding something that can fundamentally fix that, so accepting this mess."

Verak took a deep breath, and didn't want to quarrel too ugly with the first and second leaders of the sub-station when he first arrived: "It's useless to say these things now, the situation has reached this point, we can only start to solve it. If you can't come up with it, it's more feasible If we don’t know the way, we will prepare according to Comrade Quentin’s thinking, at least find out the enemy’s information first. If we don’t even know the enemy’s situation, I don’t think other work can be carried out at all.”

   "...Okay, we will go to town tomorrow." Cosmo agreed.

   "Yes." Vladislav agreed.

"That's it for now, let's all rest." Even the basic information of the enemy cannot be obtained, and many actions that need to be planned based on this cannot be started. Verac decided not to waste time, got up and took Quentin and Connie upwards. face to go.

   "Sorry, Comrade Verak." Cosmo felt ashamed, looking at Verak's back and apologizing.

  Verak stopped in his tracks, took another deep breath, and calmed down his heart: "There is nothing to apologize for, hold your breath, and let's start the substation together."

"…thanks."

   "Let's go to rest first, and talk tomorrow." Verak left the basement, and under the arrangement of comrades at the substation, he came to a simple bed that had been prepared.

   "Comrade Veraker, why did you come back so soon?" The rest environment was very simple, and Stuart tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep.

   "The situation is more complicated, there is no need to discuss it tonight." Verak took off his clothes and rearranged the bed.

   Oscar also turned over in a daze and asked, "Then what are we going to do tomorrow?"

  Verak didn't know either, he sighed: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, and have a good rest."

   "Good night, Comrade Veraker."

   "Good night, Comrade Veraker."

  Verak lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling: "Good night."

  —

  July 8, early morning

  Verak, who was used to sleep less, opened his eyes without the influence of any external factors.

   "Hoo..."

   "Hoo..."

  Oscar, Stuart, and others beside him were still sleeping, and because they were too tired, they were snoring loudly.

  He didn't disturb the group of young people. After getting dressed, he walked to the window and looked outside.

   There are still many people in this small town, and there are never any pedestrians on the road outside the house.

  After observing, Verak found that the leaders of the four substations, Cosmo, Vladislav, Daisy, and Arseni, were not there, so he walked to the basement and lifted the floor.

"Who?"

  A vigilant inquiry came from the basement.

   Sure enough, they were all in the basement.

   "It's me." Verak replied and walked down.

   "Comrade Verac, you are up." Comrade Dai Qian greeted.

   "Good morning, Comrade Verak."

"Good morning."

   "What are you talking about?" Verak nodded slightly, and sat down.

  Station chief Cosmo still felt embarrassed about what happened yesterday. When facing Verak, he lacked confidence: "We are discussing entering Winterhold today, contacting some trusted comrades, and conducting an investigation in reverse."

   "Yes." Verak thought for a while, "You are not wanted, are you?"

"Arseni and I are both wanted, and our photos were printed on the wanted list." Vladislav said, "Stationmaster Cosmo and Deputy Stationmaster Daisy were leaked by undercover agents after the merger. The photos haven't been released yet."

   "Then who do you plan to enter the city?"

   "Comrade Vladislav stays, the three of us will go in." Cosmo said.

  Verak was a little tempted: "Isn't Winterhold very strict inspections? You are all wanted people, and you still enter three at a time?"

"If Comrade Vladislav hadn't been the one who had the most trouble before, and now his popularity has soared, it would be inconvenient for him to get away with it, so we would have brought him in together." Cosmo took out his cigarette case and met Verak's eyes, He pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, "It's okay for the few of us to forge identity certificates, pretend to be disguised and act separately, and there will be no major problems. Now our comrades in Winterhold are scattered in order to avoid being taken away by undercover agents. Let’s fight on our own, so the more people there are, the more efficient the communication will be.”

   "Thank you." Verak picked up a cigarette and lit it, "Then do you think I can get in?"

"It shouldn't be possible..." Cosmo continued to pass cigarettes to Vladislav and Arseni, "On the other side of the Signe Verlen Sea, our Bash Navy is fighting hard against the Verland and Brecy coalition forces, so this winter Fort, and everywhere are hostile to Wellands, Brescias. Plus the International Equality League was founded by the Brescias, and the patrol guards tend to focus on the Brescias, you are such a well-known man After entering, even if you are not recognized at a glance, you will definitely not be able to withstand careful interrogation."

"Hiss...huh..." Verak spit out a puff of smoke, "I think that as leaders, we should stand at the forefront and take the lead, instead of leaving our comrades in the most dangerous place and sleeping here Sleep."

  Kozmo smiled and said: "You misunderstood us. We have been staying in Winterhold before, working hard to resolve the crisis. It is because of the existence of undercover agents and to ensure your safety that we ventured out here to welcome you."

   "That's it, I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Verak apologized frankly. When he chatted with Arseni yesterday, he thought they hid here to avoid the limelight. In that case, he would have no face to stay any longer.

"I admit that we made a big mistake in decision-making, which led to the current situation of the sub-station is not optimistic, but please rest assured that there is no one in us who is afraid of death, let alone hide behind other comrades .” Cosmo said solemnly.

   "Don't worry about this." Dai Qian followed with a smile.

   "Understood." Verak faced the four sub-station comrades who were all Bash. Among them were the elders of the original Equality Association and the leaders who are now spontaneously fighting, saying that they are afraid that this is indeed impossible, "Please rest assured that our trip will not be in vain. Everyone is united, and it will not take long for the can turn things around.”

   "We believe in you, you are Verak." Cosmo admired Verak's deeds from the bottom of his heart, and he did not hold any grudges against Verak's merciless accusation against them last night, but accepted it humbly.

   "Yes, you are Verak." Everyone else said.

   This made Veraker blush a little: "This has nothing to do with me..."

"To be honest, we all felt relieved when we learned that you were coming to support us." As a person who joined the International Equality League not long ago, Vladislav knew a lot about Verak's affairs, " Everyone says that you are good at creating miracles, you can always make the impossible things possible in the eyes of others, and realize them one by one.”

"This point, what I want to say is that those things can be done not because of my own efforts, but because all of us firmly believe, and because of our belief, we have burst out with unprecedented strength and created miracles." Verak didn't want to Seeing others deify themselves and pin their hopes on themselves, "So instead of you believing that I can do this, you might as well believe that we can do it together."

   "Okay, haha..." Several people laughed.

"It's getting late, every hour wasted, our comrades may face more danger." After smoking a cigarette, Cosmo stood up, "Let's contact them first and prepare for the counterattack. "

  Verak got up and saw him off: "Be careful on the road."

   "Yes." Cosmo, Daisy, and Arseni left the basement first, and left through the back door of the house.

   "They are all still asleep." Vladislav locked the door and looked at the many people who were asleep.

   "It's really tiring on this journey, there is nothing important for them to do now, just take a good sleep." Verak also looked at them.

   "I heard that these comrades, except for that Quentin, are all newcomers?"

"That's right. It's been a few months since I joined our International Equality League, but I haven't encountered any major problems. I have come all the way, and I regard the difficulties on the road as a test for them." Verak said softly , for fear of disturbing their rest.

  Vladislav grinned: "Blesy's huge victory over there is so exciting that we can't sleep for days and nights. I really hope that Bash's day will come soon."

   "Sooner or later." Verak said with certainty.

   "I'm still a little confused about the things in the theory of equality. I heard that you have done in-depth research on this aspect. Is it convenient to ask for advice?" Vladislav said.

Verac didn't speak, went to the bed and opened the suitcase, and took out the "Theory of Class" written by Winston: "There are already more comprehensive works than the theory of equality, and even this one, I'm afraid it won't be long will be the cornerstone of a greater book."

   "Really?" Vladislav leaned forward.

   "Let's go, I'll explain it to you." In order to avoid disturbing others' rest, Verak came to the basement and told Vladislav about the content of "Class Theory".
