Chapter 186: Intelligence Department and Instigating Rebellion
After staring at the three of them and formulating their study plans for the next period of time, Verak looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he rushed to the training class classroom to listen to Comrade Piaf's lecture.
Piaf is a woman with great aura. When she lectures, she seems to give people a natural sense of persuasion. This feeling was something that Verac had not noticed before. Piaf has always been very humble in front of them.
Now it seems that he is also a person who can take control freely, and is not as simple as it seems.
"Has it been taken care of?" Keating asked Verak, who tiptoed to the listening position and sat down.
"Yes." Verak nodded lightly, "You are quite impressive, and I think I won't disappoint you."
Keating wasn't too worried in the first place. He and Verak had unparalleled trust in each other: "Well, listen to Piaf's lecture. Her lectures are very organized, and there are things you can learn from."
"Okay." Verak straightened his back out of habit, facing Piaf who was lecturing, and listened carefully to Piaf's lecture.
Inexplicably, he felt that his body was numb and comfortable.
It's like being bathed in the gentle sunlight, so comfortable.
He was stunned for a moment and realized that this was a sense of mental comfort.
Since he and Keating returned to Lezein and entered the Equality Society with almost no obstacles, everything went smoothly. Both he and Keating were accepted, and they quickly contributed their efforts to the Equality Society and arranged for Nord.
The most important thing about the development path of Diaz and Murphy in the medium term is that equality will develop steadily and thrive.
This life was so smooth that it was a little beyond his expectations, and it was in sharp contrast to the hardships he had endured before.
It's a pity that he couldn't find some diaries he wrote to himself late at night when he was in prison. Many times when he couldn't hold on anymore, he silently encouraged himself and told himself that the future was worthy of expectations.
Sure enough, the future is really worth looking forward to.
He cherishes this feeling now and is full of confidence in the future. No matter how great the hardships awaiting equality, each of them is gathered here to create a miracle.
Listening, time flies, and the next day's training is over.
In the evening, Morais deliberately waited for Verac, Keating, and Piaf to have dinner together.
Seeing Morais in the conference room with unkempt hair, bloodshot eyes, and the ashtray in front of him filled with cigarette butts, Verak, who came in with a meal, couldn't help but worry about his health: "You might as well live here.
? You made yourself in such a mess, people who didn’t know would have thought you were locked up in jail.”
"I'm a little tired and don't want to move around." Morais took the meal Verak handed him. "This period of time is also a test for the Equality Association. As the interim president, I must withstand the pressure."
"It would be too much of a loss to burn out your body," Piaf said.
"I know, I'm not as tired as you think. Sit down quickly and let me tell you about the progress of some things." Morais urged a few people to sit down, and then looked at Verak with a little sympathy.
, after brewing for a few seconds, he said, "The musician Ross you asked to find has been found."
Verak noticed from Morais's eyes that things were not that good. He did not speak and waited patiently for Morais to continue speaking.
"As you might expect, we investigated the people who were arrested when they entered Lazerin the day before. Among them was Danny Ross. After he was caught, he was immediately transferred to the government building. We will learn more about it later.
I can’t find out anymore,” Morais said.
Verak and Keating both froze.
"Two...the thirteenth?" Verak's heart sank.
"Yes, it's been five days since today."
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
Keating was the first to put aside sentimental things and talked about the impact that Rose's arrest would have on them: "There are some people close to Verak in prison who know his true identity, including Rose. If he is arrested, once he is arrested,
If this matter is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous."
"What?" Morais didn't know about this yet. He thought that only the people of the Equality Society knew about Verak's true identity. "Why should you tell them? They are different from us. They have no need and no ability to keep it secret.
secret."
"Everyone has the right to be themselves." Keating said for the thoughtful Verak, "If Verak is still living in the shadow of Chris in prison, it is impossible for him to lead us to successfully escape."
Now that the matter has come to an end, and there is really nothing to blame, Morais calmed down and said, "If the government knew that Chris had died a long time ago and that we had been using a substitute, what do you think would be the consequences?"
"The consequences..." Keating thought, "will undoubtedly put new conditions on everything the Equality Association has done in the past few months and re-examine our motives."
"All we have on the table is peace talks." Morais frowned, "Looking at this from the government's perspective, do you think there is any problem?"
The Equality Association sent a fake president to prison, and then the fake president led people to escape from prison. The Equality Association openly negotiated peace with the government. This seemed to be a well-planned plan, and it all served another larger plan.
Keating groaned and slowly spoke out a more likely scenario: "The government has always believed that Chris was arrested, Boyne became a hostage, and the Equality Society was leaderless, making it difficult to organize an effective counterattack. Already in this situation,
They were at a disadvantage in the game. But they learned that Chris in prison was a fake, and they should have guessed that Chris was still alive and sitting in the rear, and they were just using a stand-in to confuse the public and lower the government's vigilance."
"According to what you say, the government will even think that the arrest of Verak a few months ago was something we did deliberately," Morais said.
Piaf also quickly fell into the blind spot of the government's perspective, linking various times together: "The Damans prison escape incident, the real and fake Chris, the peace talks, Comrade Boyne's acting as a hostage, etc. will all be misinterpreted by the government."
"Even if it is not misinterpreted, it will undoubtedly affect the peace talks." Keating rubbed the bridge of his nose. This matter is indeed a bit tricky, "I just don't know how big the impact will be."
"If they determine that we have other plans, not only Boyin will be in danger, but the government will probably attack us before the closing ceremony of the World Exposition." Morais was not in the mood to eat. If equality is caused by a little Ross
If the meeting's plan collapsed, then the matter would be serious. He looked at Verak, "Verak, what do you think?"
"I don't think Ross will betray me." Verak understands Ross's character. Although this man is weak, he has helped him countless times, so he should not be so ruthless. "But even so, the people in the prison who know my identity will not be so ruthless."
Quite a few, and it is inevitable that someone will be caught and leaked, so it is necessary to discuss this matter."
Morais, Keating, and Piaf looked at Verac.
Verak did not frown, his face was expressionless, and his heart gradually calmed down: "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. In prison, I did not think carefully and revealed my identity, which affected the most important event of the Equality Society since its establishment.
One action.”
"I don't mean to blame you." Morais doesn't want everyone to be obsessed with insignificant things now. "You should be a free man, and whatever you do is normal."
"As for how to deal with the possible situations you mentioned next." Verak ignored Morais' words and continued, "The key to solving the problem is to make the government not think so much. I think if the government knows
I am a fake and will first go to the Thomas family to understand the situation. It will not be difficult to find out the truth and find out that the real Chris actually sacrificed his life in the previous crackdown."
"Yes." Recently, the presence of the Thomas family has been very low, and more than half of its properties have been divided up by other forces, so that he doesn't even think about it.
Verak took a deep breath: "In other words, there is another small possibility, that is, the government thinks that the Equality Society does not actually know that I am pretending to be a fake, and they will ask Thomas Carmine for confirmation, and will also test Bob.
Because if Carmine tells the whole story and Boyin fakes it and changes the government's decision, things will become more interesting."
"The possibility is actually not low. Even if things don't develop in this direction, the government will hesitate for quite some time." Keating quickly came up with a solution, "If they really think we are planning something else, we will
We can use the trick to deepen their misunderstanding and provide better cover for our real actions."
"Comrade Boyin has a special status. We are now at the stage of close confrontation between the two sides. No matter what happens, they will not touch him." Piaf and Morais held the opposite view and felt that Boyin would not be in any danger.
No matter what, we can wait safely until they attack the government building.
Morais was silent for a long time, and then took a mouthful of food. This behavior showed that he was slightly confident: "You are all thoughtful and logical. No matter which direction things develop, you have preliminary countermeasures. However, we
The biggest problem is that there are no informants within the government. We have no idea what the government is thinking, and the delay in information will kill us."
Equality is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of intelligence. It can be said that it is completely helpless by the government and can do nothing but defend.
This also resulted in them not daring to recruit 20,000 reserve members and rapidly expand their power.
"Remember what we talked about yesterday?" When the atmosphere was serious, Morais laughed lightly, "I think the intelligence system should be implemented faster, as a powerful counterattack for us to fill our gaps.
"
"I almost forgot about this." After Morais reminded them, several people remembered that the Equality Society was currently preparing an intelligence organization, and that there was a solution to the problem that Morais just raised.
"The situation is very tense, so the establishment of intelligence organizations and intelligence networks must be established as quickly as possible. We have decided to proceed in two directions at the moment, cultivating informants along the way and inciting people to rebel against the government, so as to have basic intelligence collection capabilities in the shortest possible time.
"Morais was well prepared for the preparation of the intelligence organization, so he took this opportunity to discuss his ideas with the three of them.
It is very slow to develop informants, but outstanding talents who can confront the government's intelligence agencies cannot be cultivated in ten days and a half.
So after hearing what Morais said, what made Verak's eyes brighten was the path of instigating rebellion. Although it is difficult to convert people from the government into one of your own, it is definitely much faster than cultivating one!
"According to the current situation, our intelligence department will have to be formally established within half a month to a month, which will provide us with huge help in achieving this key victory——"
"Do you have any ideas about instigating rebellion?" Verak interrupted Morais and asked.
"Not yet." Morais shook his head.
Verak raised the corner of his mouth. He has often tried to instigate rebellion and infect others with the concept of equality. Not only is he very experienced in this aspect, but he is also more experienced than the average person: "Instigating rebellion is indeed a very good way."
"What do you think?" After hearing what Verak said, Morais guessed that he must have another idea.
"The concept of equality can not only awaken the people, it can also be used as a spiritual weapon to change the people in the government. We have Chloe swinging around, and there were betrayers in the past, so how come there are no such people in the government?" Verak takes it for granted.
He said, "We must try to discover and point out a new direction for those working for the government. As long as this direction is correct, there will be people who will give up pretending to be stupid, turn their backs on the government that will be cast aside by history, and fall into our arms."
"
Keating is familiar with the power of the concept of intellectual equality: "Verak is right. We are confident that the path we are taking is the right one, so we should be equally confident that this path will attract them."
Morais said nothing, chuckled a few times, and ate his food.
Verak and Keating looked at each other and began to eat the food that was almost cold.
In the conference room, the four of them finished their meals in silence before the conversation resumed.
"Verak, are you interested in getting involved?" Morais sent an invitation to Verak to join the intelligence department. "This is not a temporary invitation. After you came back, I felt that this candidate must be you. You made it happen.
All kinds of impossibilities have been applied to the practice of the concept of equality to the most vivid extent. I believe that you can, as an important member of the intelligence department, make up for our shortcomings as soon as possible."
"But I still have to train students with Teacher Keating. The combat training starts tomorrow, and I also want to learn." Verak has a lot of things to do.
"The combat training will take place outside the city. Your and Comrade Keating's identities are too sensitive and it is inconvenient to come and go frequently, so it is best to stay here." Morais did not intend to let Verak and the others go out. The government is now very strict in their investigation.
, if these two people were caught, it would be a huge loss to Equality.
Unable to go to the combat training, Verak's original plan came to nothing, and a six-day leisure period appeared out of thin air: "When the students of that period go out for training, we can't be idle."
"So it's just right." Morais looked at the matter simply, "Comrade Keating and Comrade Piaf continue to train the second batch of trainees, and you take the time to assist the intelligence department in solving the problem."
"You are trying to tire me out." Verak smiled bitterly.
"He who is capable works hard!" Morais highly recognized Verac's ability.
To be so recognized and trusted by others, Verak has nothing good to say.
