Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 482 Public Opinion War (3)

   Competent...

   To be more precise, among the current strength of the action team, the intelligence team is the person most likely to do this in comparison.

   It's just a comparison.

  Duke Hall insisted on not interfering in this aspect, because he did not want to take risks, and there must be reasons why this matter is really difficult to do.

  He is at a loss what to do, and it is even more difficult to realize the intelligence team that is developing as hard as breaking through the frozen ground.

"There shouldn't be any progress in a short period of time." Shirley told the truth. As the most capable person in this area, she is very self-aware of the power that the intelligence team can exert, and she cannot make a move in front of Veraker. Inflated guarantees.

   "Let's try it first." Verac currently has no better way, choosing to rely on the intelligence team to break the deadlock, and tacitly acquiescing to Shirley's estimation all show a sense of helplessness.

   "I'll make arrangements." Shirley went to Murphy's side and asked Murphy to send a telegram to contact the intelligence team members in other places.

  Verak closed his eyes and thought deeply, trying to find a route that had never been noticed by others but that was in line with their current ability, so as to grasp the evidence that was enough to make a final decision.

  The time limit he set for himself was seven days.

  The sooner the better within seven days, after seven days, many of the effects of the frame-up will become irreversible.

   "Comrade Verac."

   Thirty seconds after Shirley left, Cyril, Spencer, and Nizan from the combat team sat together opposite Verak.

   "Huh?" Verak opened his eyes.

   "What should our combat team do next?" Cyril asked.

Although the assassination of the dignitaries and the counterattack resulted in the sacrifice of six comrades, the comrades who chose to join the action team had already made preparations for this. They still need to continue to plan actions in the future, causing huge troubles for the interim government On the one hand, it gave the people confidence, and on the other hand, it helped the main station of Lelister City to share the pressure.

  Verak’s mind is full of evidence collection: “Not yet, let’s cooperate with the intelligence team first. The most important thing for us now is to collect strong evidence to respond to the outside world’s misinterpretation and doubts about the International Equality League.”

"Okay. By the way, I found that Henry has been quite dishonest these days. He has been wandering around us, and the frequency of coming to deliver things to us is much higher. Every time he comes in, he looks around, as if looking for something." Siri I mentioned something unusual.

"It must have been instructed by Hall, most likely because he wanted to find out how we disappeared out of thin air during the last search." Verak didn't take it too seriously, "If I were Hall, I heard about such a bizarre incident. We will also try our best to investigate clearly."

"This is a matter of our cards and our lives. Why don't we talk to him directly and tell him to keep a distance. Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know in the future, or you will be responsible for the consequences." Spencer wanted to speak clearly and solve the problem directly. Finish this little thing.

"Don't be too blunt. You still have to save face with each other, otherwise many things will not be easy to do in the future. For example, Hall's help is indispensable for collecting evidence. Now that you don't look good, how can you find them?" Wei Wei Lark reminded.

   "Understood, I will go to him, and I will control my speed." Cyril knew what to do.

  Ni praised the others and handed Verak a newspaper: "Comrade Verak, read it."

  Villac took over and looked at the headlines, still smearing the report of the International Equality Alliance: "I know that these contents are all in the newspapers now, and the whole world is questioning us, so we must hurry up and get evidence to clarify."

"No, look carefully. There is a description about the current situation of Laizein. The provisional government said that it has arrested hundreds of people from our action team within a few days, and estimated that our total number may be more than 5,000. .” Nizan said.

   "Huh?" Verak looked at the detailed report, and sure enough, he saw what Nizan said, "I saw it."

"I think this is a bit abnormal. Since the provisional government knew of the existence of the action team through spies, it is impossible not to know that our number is around 300. How could it estimate the number of more than 5,000? And during this period of time we have nothing but Except for six people who were killed in the assassination of dignitaries, none of the other comrades were exposed, but the newspapers said that we had hundreds of people arrested, this..."

Verac didn't rush to answer, and read the report carefully twice: "...There are several possibilities. The first possibility is that the provisional government wants to use false data to expand negative publicity against us. In addition, add a label of 'vulnerable' to us. The second possibility is that the provisional government is betting that we don't have a sound communication method, and wants to use this data to deceive our comrades and make our troops confused. But if it is In this way, the data does not need to be so exaggerated, it seems very fake to us. The third possibility is to use this to establish an image of complete suppression of us to speed up the stabilization of Laizein."

   "I think it's a combination of the first possibility and the third possibility." Nizan also thinks that the second possibility has omissions and is not feasible.

"agree."

"agree."

  Cyril, Spencer agree.

  Both the first possibility and the third possibility can be realized by means of newspaper reports. Even if the provisional government didn’t think so comprehensively, it would be good for them to think more and respond in more ways.

"That can be summed up as the matter of framing. If we want to solve it, we still have to find evidence to prove that what we said is true and that they are making a fake..." Verak told three people a series of ideas that he wanted to enter into the newspaper People listen and try to draw reliable solutions from them.

  Unfortunately, none of the three had a clue, and they proposed the same helpless move as Veraker: rely on the intelligence team.

  Verak turned his head to look at Shirley, who was busy with Murphy and Connie, and sighed softly: "We can only wait for their good news."

  —

afternoon

  Laizein, Bresci Daily

  Kappa didn't even have time to eat lunch, and at the request of the editor-in-chief Byron, he hurriedly took hundreds of photos that could be used to frame the International Equality League.

  The background of these photos is mainly concentrated in the revived slums.

  Before he came, he was afraid that the same situation as last time would happen again. People who did not want to be used as a tool of deception rushed to reason, and were finally shot and killed by ruthless soldiers. But probably because there were too many reporters 'patronizing' during this period, the people realized that their struggle and resistance were meaningless, and they were basically numb.

  The few who responded violently appeared when the soldiers changed into the uniform of the International Equality League and faked it more realistically.

Capa had the first experience, and his psychological quality improved a lot. Seeing this, he decisively took advantage of the chaos to change the film film, took off several soldiers and put them on the uniforms of the International Equality League, and recorded the scenes of suppressing the rioting people. down.

  He believes that if the future International Equality Alliance wants to regain its innocence, it must first prove that it has not done those things, and secondly, it must prove that the newspaper reports are forged.

  The former is easier, and the effect presented is neither good nor bad. In the end, the people will be divided into two groups, and each will believe in the party they want to believe.

  The latter is relatively more difficult, but once mastered, the truth of the matter will not be disputed. After all, no one will believe those who forge evidence, and no one can guarantee that they will not forge the second or third time.

  Back to the newspaper office, Capa hid the film with the evidence in the drawer, then came to the office of the editor-in-chief Byron, and handed in another film with a large number of framed photos.

   "Go, finish the manuscript assigned to you as soon as possible." The editor-in-chief Byron accepted the film and did not say any more nonsense with Capa.

   "Okay." Capa did not dare to have any objections, left the office, returned to his desk to write the manuscript.

   "I think the International Equality League is really over now. Dozens of hundreds of people are arrested every day. It won't be long before Laizein will be able to return to his previous appearance."

   "Indeed, the government army is really fast enough. We didn't notice any troubles, and they have already arrested a lot of people."

"It depends on when we capture that Veraker here, and when the main force breaks through the city of Lelister. If these two things are done, the International Equality League will really never turn the world upside down .”

"Yes, Boyne and Morais are dead. If Verac and Keating are arrested again, they will fall apart immediately. Let's perform well now, write more reports, and take more evidence. The benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future. "

  While writing the manuscript, Capa inevitably heard the conversations of colleagues around him.

The unoptimistic situation of the International Equality League made him worry, but he could do nothing but comfort himself. Even the news that the International Equality League oppressed the people was fabricated. The situation over there must also be faked.

   The question is, why would the government have to fake this? Are you full?

  The logic in it made Capa unable to convince himself.

  He laughed at himself, chose not to think wildly, and wrote steadily. He went home at night to drink more broth made by his wife, and played more with his young son and daughter.

  I am too small to change the world. All I can do is to make my wife and children happy.

  The conversation among the other reporters continued.

   Arrest, prison and other words frequently flashed in Capa's mind.

  Suddenly!

  The pen in his hand stopped, and the ink gathered at the nib stained the paper.

  Isn’t he wondering how to find someone from the International Equality League and hand over the film?

  Since there are many arrests in the prison, I can go to the prison and show my purpose to the arrested comrades, so as to find out the whereabouts of other members of the International Equality League and hand over the film to them!

  The train of thought gradually became clearer, and I couldn't concentrate on writing the manuscript, and the reality I just recognized was immediately overturned.

  Kappa realized that he had to face his true self after all.

  And the real him is a person who wants to maintain the truth even if he sacrifices his life.

  He got up and came to the office of editor-in-chief Byron again: "Editor-in-chief."

   "The manuscript is finished?" the editor-in-chief Byron asked with his legs on the desk and a novel in his hand.

   "No." Capa's body was full of enthusiasm, and he no longer flinched when facing the editor-in-chief, "I want to collect some more material."

   "That's enough." Editor-in-Chief Byron was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the film that Capa had put in not long ago, and rejected his application.

   "No, I thought of a better angle. As long as we play well, one report like that may top the current ten!" Capa fought.

  This bold speech finally aroused the interest of the editor-in-chief Byron. He put down the novel and put his legs away: "What do you mean?"

"I want to go to prison! To take pictures of the members of the International Equality League who have been arrested, and pick a few people to interview, and write a half-truth called a confession. The content is that they admit that the atrocities were committed by themselves Yes, and deeply regret, as a comrade of the International Equality League, accuse the International Equality League of its mistakes and hypocrisy..." Capa has a good reason.

"Good! This idea is very good!" Editor-in-Chief Byron's eyes lit up, "There are always some street materials, just a few sentences over and over again, and many people are tired of reading it. Now here is a confession in prison, which will surely Push the heat even higher!"

   "Yes!" Capa echoed.

   "Go now and collect more materials! Prepare more reports like this!" The editor-in-chief Byron has already imagined what rewards he will receive from the government if the frame-up is more successful.

   "Yes!" Capa turned and went out.

"Wait a minute!" Editor-in-Chief Byron flipped out a piece of paper, hurriedly wrote a paragraph on it and attached his signature, "Take this and show it to the people in the prison, and they will let you in , and cooperate with you in collecting materials."

  Kappa accepted the editor-in-chief Byron's handwritten letter, and secretly lamented that he was worthy of being a trusted confidant of the government, and that a single signature could make the prison cooperate with his work.

"Remember, the content must be eye-catching, belittle the International Equality Alliance, and elevate our government. You are familiar with these, but you have to think carefully about how to reflect them through prison materials." Editor-in-Chief Byron urged Said, "If this matter is done well, I will give you a large bonus later!"

   "Don't worry, I'll go first."

   "Well, waiting for your first draft!"

  The moment he stepped out of the main entrance of the newspaper, Capa was still a little dazed.

  Unconsciously, I embarked on such a road and began to contribute as much as possible to the International Equality Alliance.

  What will be waiting for you next?

   Is it to successfully find out the whereabouts of other International Equality League members, hand over the film to them safely, and witness the International Equality League regain its innocence?

   Or do you expose yourself, lose your career, go to jail, and end up in the same tragic end as those arrested members of the International Equality League?

   Those don't seem to matter at this moment.

  While adhering to justice and truth, the value of life is infinitely magnified, and the threat of death is infinitely reduced.

   "Where are you going?" asked the soldier in charge of protecting the reporter.

  They were specially arranged here by the government to protect the newspaper office and personally protect the traveling journalists.

  Kappa clutched the editor-in-chief's handwritten letter, took a deep breath and said, "Go to the prison where the members of the International Equality League are held!"
