Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 396 Untitled

   After about an hour, other people woke up one after another. Seeing that Verak was lecturing "The Theory of Classes" to Vladislav, they all gathered around to listen to the lecture and ask questions.

   At noon, everyone had lunch together and took a short rest.

  Verak habitually finishes the meal quickly, and then concentrates on thinking about the problem.

He thinks that he can't stay in this palm-sized room all the time. No matter how Cosmo and the others progress, he will enter Winterhold sooner or later, so he must find a safe way to take everyone in Winterhold. work in.

   But the inspection of Winterhold is very troublesome, and they, the Brexi, can easily attract attention. Especially myself, this face is now known all over the world, just like Boyne and Morais. Once it is discovered, it will affect the cooperation between the International Equality League and the Bash government on the one hand, and it will also improve the Bash government. The intensity of inspections of Winterhold.

   Is it possible that because of my appearance, the sub-station will be held back, and even Winterhold will not be able to enter for quite a while?

   "Have you finished eating?" Veraker decided to call the comrades who came with him and several people from the branch station to have a meeting.

"Finished."

"What's wrong?"

   "Is something wrong?"

"Let's have a meeting." Verak sat on the edge of the bed before entering the basement, and informed his comrades, "...Now we need to discuss how we can enter Winterhold without being suspected under such strict inspections. Settle down with peace of mind?"

  Oscar and Stuart seemed excited on the contrary. They were eager to contribute their strength earlier to start Bash's revolutionary cause.

   "Can't we dress up in disguise and have a fake identity?" Oscar asked.

   "The risk is too great, and if we can do it, it's just a fool for a while. Next, we will stay in Winterhold for a long time, and we need to have a legitimate reason to stay open and aboveboard without being suspected." Verak shook his head and made a clear request.

"I have a solution." Stuart pondered for a while and said, "Isn't Brecy already caught in the flames of war? It's normal for merchants to flee. We will pretend to be a merchant group and come to Winterhold to do business. In this way Now that we have a legitimate name, we can really provide funds for the revolution by giving full play to our abilities and doing business.”

   "It doesn't work either." Verak quickly vetoed it, "The Brexi and Wellland coalition forces attacked Bash, and now the Bash people are trying to get angry with us. No businessman will be so stupid as to come to Bash to do business."

   "Uh..." Stuart was speechless.

Quentin is still sitting in the corner: "We can first fix the area we want to stay in, and then find a way to buy off the guards there to create a safe area. Later, we can further infiltrate, and we can continue to expand the area where we can be active. until free passage in Winterhold."

   "How can we be sure that the guards we bribe will not backtrack? If they change their mind after we go, none of us will be able to escape." Verak felt that there was still a certain risk.

"Then put our own people in there." Quentin has a deep understanding of some corruption and depravity, "I'm sure that the people in charge of controlling this aspect are not so upright. Put our people in, and then impose small profits Let them be in charge of patrolling an area."

   "What do you think?" Verak turned to look at Vladislav.

   "It should be possible to give it a try." As a local, Vladislav believed that Quentin's idea was the most feasible.

"Then do it as soon as possible." Time is precious, and Verak doesn't plan to wait for Cosmo and the others to come back to advance this matter. "Also, the current situation is special. For safety reasons, it is definitely not possible to bring comrades together, but each framework must first Well set up. With the combat team in place, the three comrades I brought along who are in charge of propaganda, intelligence, and logistics also need to be manned."

   "Understood, I will solve this." Vladislav agreed, and arranged tasks for the four sub-station comrades who were also in the room.

   Quentin took the initiative to apply to leave with the comrades of the sub-station to implement the plan.

   There is no danger staying here, and Verac asked Connie to follow to protect Quentin's safety.

   Seeing that the two of them had gone out to do business right after they arrived, Oscar and Stuart couldn't sit still, so they went to Vladislav to learn about the situation of Winterhold and prepared their respective tasks.

  In the afternoon, Dai Qian came back first, and also brought back newspapers from major newspapers such as Le Monde and Western Times.

   "How's it going? Where are the two of them?" The people who were suffocating in the room surrounded Dai Qian and asked about the situation.

"The two of them are still contacting the comrades who are hiding in Winterhold, and they probably won't be back until tomorrow. I'm here to report the progress, to reassure everyone, and to show everyone the newspaper." Daisy took the newspaper with her. to Verak et al.

  In fact, they have been keeping in touch with Laizein through telegrams, and they have a basic understanding of the combat situation, but newspaper reports still have their own unique functions. You can read various news from Bash and other regions.

   "As long as they are safe. By the way, this morning we..." Verac turned to Daisy and talked about their busy work during the day.

"It makes sense, you have to enter Winterhold no matter what, and you can't hide in such a small room all the time. And if we can arrange our comrades into the guards and create a safe zone, it will not only be for you, but also for you." The whole sub-station has great benefits." Dai Qian very much supports the decision made by Verak, "The matter of manning these new comrades is also a top priority. Although we still have no way to reintegrate our forces to carry out What a plan, but preparations in all aspects can be done first.”

   "Well, Comrade Vladislav has arranged for people to do these things." Verak said, "Tomorrow at the earliest, there should be results."

   "It should be. The comrade named Quentin looks very reliable, and this thing will definitely happen."

  Villac chuckled, sat down and picked up a Le Monde newspaper and started to read it.

  The newspaper mainly reported two events that attracted the attention of the world.

  The first thing is that the Bash side, supported by the Pluman navy, is in a stalemate with the war with the Welland and Brecy navies on the Sea of ​​Sinevillen. Welland couldn't bear the defeat of this war, and he continued to increase the scale.

  The second thing is the Brexi region. Under the strong pressure of the Brexi government forces, the International Equality Alliance retreated steadily and lost three towns.

  Currently, the front line of Bresci’s government forces is less than 600 kilometers away from Laizein, the center of the International Equality Alliance. If it can continue to be like this, then it won’t be long before the army can come to the city and retake Laizein to restore the government.

   "Comrade Veraker, I don't think the battle situation is very optimistic..." Oscar said worriedly.

"In fact, the current situation is within our estimates. After all, there is a huge gap between our army's strength and combat quality and theirs. When necessary, we need to shrink the front line to avoid the edge." They talked.

   Concession is part of the International League of Equality's battle plan.

  The strength of the International Equality Alliance has been greatly expanded in a short period of time, but it is still only a fraction of the government army. In this case, too scattered forces will only exacerbate the negative impact of shortcomings. Therefore, the International Equality Alliance has been fighting while retreating, shrinking the front line, and ensuring that all forces can be used in appropriate places.

   "But it won't work if this continues. The distance of hundreds of kilometers is almost close at hand..." Stuart held the newspaper and reported.

"In contrast, what our International Equality Alliance now needs is time and training for recruits." Verak continued to explain, "The guard regiments in the area under our control need to be integrated, and at the same time, they are still under the continuous support of Bash Rapidly expanding the army, it can be said that the longer the time is delayed, the stronger our strength will be. Our current strategy is to delay the time as much as possible, use this time to hone new recruits, and launch a counterattack when the time is right."

"Delaying time should not only be for the purpose of expanding the army and improving strength." Dai Qian sat aside and added her own opinion, "If it can be delayed until Bash wins the war here, Wellland's dominance will inevitably be shaken by then, and many countries will be ready to move. Then they will have no spare power to provide support to the Brexi government army, and Dunman will give up providing supplies to the Brexi government army because there is no interest to follow. In the end, our situation will improve at a speed visible to the naked eye. "

"That's right." Daisy's analysis was exactly what Veraker was about to say, "Bressy's battle situation is closely linked to that of Signe Verlenhey, Welland will only bear greater pressure than us, and Whatever it fails on one side, it will affect the other side, causing Welland and Bressey to lose the war altogether."

  Hearing this, Oscar and Stuart frowned.

   "In this way, the two sides can be regarded as a whole now, which is the confrontation between Willland, Bresey and us, Bash, and Pullman." Stuart concluded.

"Comrade Stuart is very smart, he didn't count Dunman and Sdl in." Verak praised Stuart, "Dunman did provide help to the Brisey government army, but they and us There is no direct conflict, unlike Welland, who has no retreat. As long as Welland can't hold on, they will naturally retreat. Sdr is an ally of Bash, but the fundamental interests are in the Marcy area, and the gains will not outweigh the losses. Intervene on our side. This war is the confrontation between us, Bash, and Pullman against the government forces of Welland and Bresci."

   "As long as Welland can't hold on, they will all be finished." Oscar understood the ins and outs.

"Objectively speaking, with the support of Pluman's navy, Bash has a great hope of winning the naval battle of the Signe Villen Sea before us. This has both advantages and disadvantages for us. The advantage is that Welland, Duncan Mann will stop supporting Bresci's government forces. The downside is that the Bash crisis is resolved, so there is no need to provide assistance to us." Verak put down the newspaper that didn't have much useful information, "So, Chairman Boyne thinks more We are much more comprehensive. They must not only stabilize the situation in Bresci, but also draw enough nutrients from Bash to enrich the International Equality Alliance."

  Oscar curiously took the Le Monde that Verac put aside: "It's still quite complicated."

"Of course, how can a confrontation involving so many countries be seen through at a glance and easily invincible? In short, everyone knows that the situation is still under control, and we don't need to worry too much about that side." Wei Wei Luke lit a cigarette, smiled and watched Oscar and Stuart digest the information.

  —

  Next day, July 9th, afternoon

  Cosmo, Arseni, Quentin, Connie and several sub-station comrades rushed back together.

   "Why do you still meet together?" Verak and others who had nothing to do in the house came forward and asked about the situation in the past two days.

"We happened to run into each other during our mission this morning, and that's when we learned that you arranged for them to build a safe zone." Cosmo drank a large glass of water first when he came back, "It just so happened that we were almost busy, and they also We need to contact the comrades lurking in the city for action, and we will solve these things together."

   "So it's like this, sit down and rest." Verak arranged for a group of people to sit down.

   Oscar and Stuart, who were of no help, quickly poured everyone a glass of water.

"The establishment of a safe zone is on the horizon." Quentin, who was hot and sweaty, did not rush to drink water, and reported the progress to Verak first. "We got in touch with the comrades at the two trustworthy sub-stations. They are respectively In the two inspection areas outside of Winterhold, and these two inspection areas are adjacent to each other, dozens of guards are arranged for patrols and entrance and exit checks. We plan to send to these two inspection areas first Comrade, gradually nibble away and turn it into our safe zone."

   "Why did you choose these two places?" Verac believed that there must be a reason for Quentin's choice.

"The first is that the inspections in the outer locations are not strong, and the number of patrolling guards is not large, which is convenient for us to infiltrate and control. The second is to consider your problem. Your identity is too special, and it is too risky to enter the city from the checkpoint. This area can be sneaked in by bypassing the checkpoint at the entrance of the city..."

  Verak's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Quentin to think so comprehensively. When choosing a safe zone, he also took his difficult problems into consideration: "Okay."

"The next step is to look at the comrades of the sub-station. It is nothing more than spending money to clear up the relationship, applying for a guard through special channels, and then spending some money to transfer there because my home is in the corresponding inspection area and I want to stay near my home to work. , become our safety guarantee." Quentin said.

"Our side is almost the same. In two days, we contacted nine absolutely trustworthy comrades, mobilized more than 200 people to conduct secret investigations on the government, and obtained as much information as possible to prepare for subsequent bribery, instigation, and infiltration. Get ready..." After Quentin finished speaking, Cosmo also talked about their achievements.

Hearing this, Verak felt relieved: "Very well, according to the current situation, we will be able to enter Winterhold in a few days and stay in the safe area to guide the work. The infiltration and removal of undercover agents will also not take long. will be on the right track.”
