Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 487 Public Opinion War (8)

  Lizein Wartime Action Team General Liaison Office

   "What? Some people over there spontaneously fired at the government troops?!"

   "Yes, one died and one was injured. Now the government army has sent an additional company of troops to the Martyrs Cemetery for defense. I am worried that this matter will affect the decision-making of the Provisional Government and push them to attack the Martyrs Cemetery as soon as possible."

  Verak looked solemn, walked slowly to the window, and stared at the government building in front of him: "If this really prompts the provisional government to attack the Martyrs Cemetery in a short period of time, then there is nothing we can do."

  The plan of the combat team has just begun to be formulated, and the multi-faceted work of the intelligence team is also just preparing to start. The time does not allow them to immediately have the ability to intervene in the safety of the martyrs cemetery.

  The kindness of the people disrupted their plans to a certain extent.

   Shirley followed: "We need to work out a response plan."

"I'm so busy right now, and this matter is so tricky that there's almost no solution, and it won't do much to bring everyone together for a meeting." Verak put his hands in his pockets, sighed again and again, "If the provisional government is near We will attack the Martyrs Cemetery within two days, so we can only choose to watch silently."

   "Are you sure?"

"It will take at least two days for the Operation Department to divert the attention of the Provisional Government from planning to implementing their actions. If you want to implement an action within two days, there is a high probability that you will pay the price of your life, and it may not be useful. You Do you think I should agree?" Verak has long been mentally prepared. As the leader and person in charge of the action team, he must be more rational and decisive in some matters. I am indifferent to this matter, and I can bear it alone.”

"I think it's time for us to step forward and guide the people. This will not only prevent the same thing from happening again, such as the people spontaneously attacking the newspaper office, which will make the newspaper office more stringent in its defenses, but also give full play to Laizeinli's revolution. Power." Shirley said.

Verak's expressionless face was reflected on the glass: "I have thought about it, but right now the government forces are abundant, and they have comprehensively controlled Laizein. We can't go out and move around freely. How can we unite with many people?" us."

  Xue Lier nodded slightly: "This is also a problem that needs to be resolved urgently."

"It's better not to think too much. If you take too many steps, you will get nothing. The most hopeful thing we can do now is to collect evidence as much as possible, and first fight a beautiful turnaround in this public opinion war. Others, Let's study it after we've dealt with the threat to the entire International Equality League." Verac didn't let the action team deal with countless challenges at the same time in a moment of excitement. thing.

   "You are right, let's go one by one." Shirley agreed with Verak's decision.

   "Comrade Verac."

   "Comrade Virak, over there at the Martyrs Cemetery..."

  The three members of the combat team first learned the details of the telegram from Murphy, and then went to Verak.

  Verak turned to face Cyril, Spencer, and Nizan: "The matter is true, but don't be impatient. Study your plan carefully and make the next step according to the situation."

   "How can you not be in a hurry, the plan will be discussed earlier, and we-"

"Don't bear such pressure." Veraker interrupted Cyril, "Do your best. It's best to come up with a plan before the interim government takes action. You can't and don't feel guilty. Your final plan must be approved by me. It can only be carried out, so making an unreliable plan in a hurry and then being rejected by me will only waste more time."

   "Most of the time in formulating a plan is spent studying how to evacuate safely. If the evacuation is abandoned, the plan can be carried out earlier." Veteran Spencer said, "I am willing to participate in actual operations."

   "Me too."

   "Me too."

  Cyril and Nizan agreed.

  They are all willing to sacrifice themselves to attract the attention of the Provisional Government, thereby resolving the crisis in the Martyrs Cemetery.

  Verak kept a cold face, and was not moved by the three people's death-consciousness: "Can you be sure that we took the lead as soon as something happened in the martyrs' cemetery, and won't be considered by the provisional government as deliberately attracting attention?"

  The three of them were at a loss for words.

   "If the interim government didn't abandon the martyrs' cemetery as we expected, and turned around to strengthen the search in various districts, would you have died in vain?" Verak asked.

   "But it's better than watching another possibility happen." Cyril looked directly at Verak.

"Bullshit!" Verak cursed with a livid face, "Even if the provisional government really wants to attack the martyrs' cemetery immediately, if you die, will things change? Will the martyrs' cemetery not be destroyed? The provisional government will still Destruction! They hope that we can't help but show up and die with the martyrs' cemetery!"

  Cyril's eyes were bright.

Verak knew that he still insisted on this idea: "I am not afraid of sacrifice, and you are not afraid of sacrifice! When we really need to sacrifice our lives, I will shoot anyone who dares to shrink first! But in meaningless things It is stupid to rush to the first and sacrifice one's life! It is not worthy of praise!"

   "Even the people are willing to risk their lives to defend the martyrs cemetery. If we don't go, what do you tell the people to think of us?" Nizan asked back.

"Yes! When did the International Equality League need to let the people stand in front of them to block guns? We are really a coward in this matter, and even if we reoccupy Laizein in the future, I will not be able to hold my head up!" Si Spencer followed.

   "You think so?" Verac was a little disappointed with the members of the combat team, "Comrade Shirley, answer them!"

"You don't want the people to fight instead of the International Equality League, which is completely understandable, but have you ever thought that you are willing to sacrifice yourself to go out and take action now, and we are trying to defend the martyrs' cemetery when we perfect the plan? What can we do and what should we do? The biggest difference between the two is that the former died a day or two earlier and died, while the latter planned carefully and did not cause any unnecessary losses." Shirley immediately pointed out that Nizan, Spencer was caught in a misunderstanding.

"That's right." Murphy, who replied to the message via telegraph, also came over, supporting Verac and Shirley's views, "Both methods can let the people see our determination to fight, but the additional information of the former We have nowhere to go, and we can only persist in this cruelest way. The added message of the latter is that we should respond rationally and put safety first. Do you think these two Additional information, which would be more helpful to them?"

Verak, who had calmed down, looked at the three of them: "Obviously, responding rationally and putting safety first is what the people need to understand the most, isn't it? It is precisely because the people are defending the cemetery of martyrs at all costs that we should Act rationally and let them know that blind struggle is not advisable, the first thing we need to do is to survive and make meaningful contributions while ensuring safety."

  Cyril nodded: "...you, Comrade Shirley, and Comrade Murphy are all very reasonable. What we do may only have the opposite effect."

   "The question is, what if we don't do anything in the past two days and the provisional government really destroys the martyrs' cemetery?" Spencer looked worried.

"Then... let them destroy it." Verak said, "I actually think that if we don't show up in this situation, the greater probability will make the interim government more unpredictable and maintain our current situation." There are situations. But if such a situation really happens as you said, then we have no other choice but to accept it."

   "At that time, more people will spontaneously stop it, what should we do?" Spencer asked.

"I'm also worried about this, so I think we'll come forward first, whether it's dead or alive, so that the people can see that we are in action, and they don't need them to take over the banner of struggle, so as to avoid more truly unnecessary sacrifices." Zan shows his original intention.

Shirley put forward a bold idea: "I think Comrade Verac's idea just now is good. If we insist on not taking action, we should be able to further confuse the interim government. If we want to prevent the people from intervening and bloodshed, we can do it generously." Use various means to spread the news and remind the public not to interfere."

   "This will also increase the interim government's suspicion of us to the peak, right?" Murphy instantly understood Shirley's intentions.

"Yes, doing so can not only appease the people, but also make the interim government less and less understand our approach, and be uncertain about whether to attack the martyrs' cemetery. In the end, it can stop the people from acting impulsively and protect the martyrs' cemetery It’s best if the interim government doesn’t take this approach, at least the people won’t be in danger.”

"It's arranged like this, and the comrades in the intelligence team have to work harder." Verak patted Cyril, Spencer, and Nizan, who were quite radical, but they were also thinking of the people, "The combat team maintains the original The arrangement remains the same, let’s go get busy.”

  —

  next day

  November 23rd, early morning

   It was just a night that was no different from the past. In the neighborhood near the Martyrs Cemetery, notices signed "International Equality League" were inexplicably posted and scattered.

  The content of the notice is very simple. Apart from reminding the public not to blindly clash with the interim government and to trust the arrangement of the International Equality League, there is no extra word.

  The information of these notifications spread quickly among the people, and at the same time, General Selt of the provisional government had to hold a meeting to study with his subordinates what the International Equality League was thinking.

"Have you read those notices? How did the International Equality League spread these things under the inspection of our soldiers? Well, let's put this matter aside, let's talk about the purpose behind their notices .” General Selt glanced at a group of silent subordinates, and had to call their names, “Ward, please tell me your opinion first.”

The spectacled officer, Hot Ward got up and said: "I...First of all, we can see that the International Equality League does not want the people to make unnecessary sacrifices. This should show that they do have their own plans for the cemetery. As for the specific How did you plan, I think, I think..."

   "Woolley." General Selt continued to roll the roll.

"I think the same as him." The cigar officer glanced at the glasses officer, "But I have a little doubt, if the International Equality League really set up some kind of trap in the cemetery, then they will remind the public in such a grandiose way, and it will definitely make people cry. We are vigilant."

"It's not difficult to understand." General Selt replied, "We entered the trap and suffered heavy losses, and we have never attacked the cemetery. It is a good thing for the International Equality League. They inform the public and don't care about our reaction at all. "

   "They want to be completely invincible, but this is impossible. As long as the cemetery does not fly away, the initiative will ultimately be in our hands."

   "If we can make breakthroughs in other areas, it doesn't matter if the cemetery is at any time."

"The cemetery can't just leave it like this. We have all the advantages, but we dare not do anything to a cemetery. If it is spread, others must not laugh at us? Didn't they say in the notice that they are afraid that the people will interfere? Then we will push the people Let's attack the cemetery, and let's see what they can do when the time comes!"

  The officers disagreed.

After listening for a while, General Selt waved his hand to signal for silence: "I think the International Equality League has also taken into account the public's affairs. If we secretly promote the public's idea of ​​protecting the cemetery and let them fight against us everywhere, it will only intensify the government. Contradictions with the people, Mr. President will not agree."

  The officer in glasses thinks deeply: "And we let the people beat us. This is probably what the International Equality League wants to see the most. If we really do this, it will only make them laugh."

"Is it possible that the cemetery will not be moved? I seriously doubt whether they really set up a trap." The cigar officer said, "At worst, I will send a team to investigate carefully. Even if something happens, our losses will be serious. within the acceptable range."

"Don't worry, we haven't pushed to that point yet, and we really need to rely on this method to lose all face." General Selt shook his head, "The key is whether you can hide the hidden treasure from other places. People from the International Equality League action team found out."

   There was another silence.

  No one dared to look at General Celt, for fear of being asked about the situation in the corresponding jurisdiction.

  The search lasted for more than a week, and Laizein was indeed turned upside down, but still no trace of the International Equality Alliance Action Team was found. Now no one is sure that there will be any progress in the follow-up.

"When I first came here, didn't they all let go of their harsh words and arrest more people than anyone else? Why do you keep your head down now and don't dare to say a word?" General Selt knew in his heart that the government had been in trouble all the way. Countless people and forces capsized in the face of the International Equality Alliance and the Equality Association, but he was still annoyed by this, "There must be progress in the future, and whoever maintains this state of malaise has nothing to gain, I will let him I regret coming to this world."
