There will be new arrangements in the short to medium term. In addition to being jointly responsible for the training courses with Keating and Piaf, Verak will have to spare some of his energy to contribute to the work of the intelligence department.
After dinner and all the necessary conversation, Verak returned to his room and lay down.
He was sleepy, but couldn't sleep.
In fact, he was a little tired not long after he came back, but this tiredness made him happy, because this was what he had always longed for in prison, dedicating everything he had to the Equality Society and the great ideal.
The only thing that makes him depressed now is Rose's arrest.
He had never experienced it personally, but he could imagine what it would be like to finally escape and be captured again not long after.
Unfortunately, it was useless to say anything now. He only hoped that Ross would say nothing and persist until early January next year. As long as he could persist until then, Verak would be confident to rescue him from dire straits.
Late at night, Verak fell asleep while tossing and turning.
November 28
The students in the first training class left Lezein City with the teacher in charge of combat training, and went to a nearby site outside to organize training to hone their basic combat capabilities.
Verak and Keating, who could not go out because of their special status, began to work separately. Verak provided his experience to the intelligence department so that they could lead the rebellion faster and more confidently. Keating began to prepare for the second plan.
A period of training was held, and the number of trainees was increased to one hundred.
If you want to ensure the quality of training for 100 people, the training cycle must be longer. What could have been taught in two days may now take three to four days. But this is just right. The first period will be trained outside for six days, and the second period will be trained outside for six days.
The teacher who can seamlessly complete the first phase of combat training from the preparation to the start of the course to the end of the training for the second phase.
In this way, the operation of the training class has been increased to the maximum horsepower, and no less than a thousand students will be trained in the future. And these students will also become the most important force engaged in all aspects of work in the Equality Association.
Equality will be on the right track and everything will be running smoothly.
The time soon came to December 4th.
On this day, the first batch of students in the training class completed their combat training and returned to Lezein, while the second batch of students were sent out. Keating also selected the students from the first batch after referring to the scores of the combat training teachers.
Five trainees with excellent academic performance were appointed as teaching assistants to share the pressure for Keating in the third and subsequent training sessions. Keating also gained the confidence to increase the number of trainees in the third session to 150 or even 200.
.
The personnel assisting the intelligence department on Verak's side also made some progress.
Morais even made breakthroughs in the battle plan and preliminary recruitment of special reserve members. In the evening, he also arranged a special meeting on the negative floor of the casino.
Most people thought that Morais wanted to summarize the results of his work during this period. A few people knew the real reason, but they did not say it.
Verac, who had been discussing with people from the intelligence department for a day, and Keating, who had initially completed preparations for the third phase of training with Piaf, met after dinner and participated in this meeting of unknown purpose.
They no longer stood on the podium to attract attention and accept discussions like the previous meeting. They had quickly integrated with other members of the Equality Association and sat together under the stage, waiting for Morais to speak.
For the first time in more than ten days, Morais took care of himself properly again. Holding a stack of envelopes in his hand, under the gaze of the members of the Equality Association, he walked to the podium and said: "Comrades, what are you doing today?"
What day is it?"
"Weekend!" a junior comrade joked.
"Of course, but this day is more meaningful. Do you know why?" Morais knew that there were very few people in the audience who knew what day it was, because those who knew were the first people who followed Francis to found the Equality Society.
They either sacrificed themselves, or were basically assigned to the most difficult positions, and not even one out of ten remained here.
"It must be related to the Equality Association. For the Equality Association, it is worth remembering——"
"Today is the second anniversary of the founding of the Equality Society." Before Verak could finish his speculation, Morais's voice on the stage overshadowed him, "On December 4, 1431, a group of like-minded people
People established a loose organization to fight for more equal opportunities for the people. Under the leadership of Comrade Francis, this organization began to hold countless marches and protests, the most famous of which was the victory for the workers in March last year.
The first ever decree to reduce the working hours of workers.”
Morais was one of the elders of the Equality Society. He witnessed how the predecessor of the Equality Society was established, how it grew, and how it evolved to what it is today.
It can be said that no one knows the history of the Equality Society better than him.
Listening to Morais' words, the senior members of the Equality Society in the audience smiled softly, while the junior members listened attentively.
Verak also didn't know the relevant history. He got most of the information from the letters exchanged between Chris and Frances, so he and Keating also listened quietly.
"As we grow, the responsibilities we shoulder are also growing, and the threats to the government have also increased dramatically. In February this year, our spiritual pillar and leader, Comrade Francis, was assassinated.
Assassination, he died on the way home after a speech." Morais and Francis were like-minded and got along for another year and a half, and their relationship was very close. Mentioning Francis
When he was sacrificed, he couldn't help but be silent for a few seconds to calm down his mood. "After that, Comrade Chris stood up. He shouldered everything and led us forward again. In order to avoid being assassinated again, we have been
Protecting his identity, the government never knew that Chris, who was gentle and humble in the eyes of his family and friends, was secretly doing things that no one would dare to do."
What many people don’t know is that before Francis died, except for exchanging ideas of equality with Francis and providing financial assistance from time to time, Chris never had anything to do with Frances.
It was after Francis died that he couldn't sit back and watch the flame go out, so he gave up his love with Elizabeth and joined with the determination to die. During the day, he was the head of the Thomas Family Record Company, and at night he was regarded as a rebel by the government.
Leader, leading the 'rebellious party' to engage in various resistances.
He was only twenty-four years old when he did this.
Most of the nobles of Colin's age were eating, drinking and having fun. Most of the nobles of his age were living a comfortable life and did not have to worry about not seeing the sun rise.
"...It is a pity that Comrade Chris, who made unparalleled contributions to the development of our Equality Association, died in the government's crackdown in early July this year... Everyone knows what happened next. Comrade Verak happened to be
Pretending to be Comrade Chris, we decided on the name of the organization and made important decisions about the Armed Equality Society.
, stumbling up to where we are today." Morais looked at the people in the audience, solemnly, "Comrade Boyne is now serving as a hostage, trapped in a crisis-ridden government building. In the two years since the establishment of the Equality Association, generations after generations have
When leaders fall, generations of leaders stand up, take over the former’s banner, and continue to wave it.”
In two years, too many things have happened.
Fortunately, there are always enthusiastic people who are stepping forward to the ideal world without fear of death.
They use their death to prove that the death of others is worth it.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Francis and Chris died one after another, Boyin acted as a hostage and there was no news. Morais and Chloe confronted each other, and the conflict became more intense.
With only the top management of Morais knowing the specific follow-up arrangements, in the eyes of more people, a layer of haze has enveloped the Equality Society, as if the winter of the Equality Society is coming.
Will Equality be torn apart by the fight between Morais and Chloe, or can it survive the storm and reach new heights again?
Some people can't help but murmur in their hearts.
"I never deny that revolution is often accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. I also never deny that we are not necessarily successful, and sacrifices are not necessarily valuable." Morais cannot announce the detailed plan yet to avoid leaks.
Chloe knew that he would try every means to hinder him in the future. He could only take advantage of the second anniversary of the Equality Society to take advantage of the World Expo.
As there is only one month left in the meeting, I would like to cheer up my heart: "But this does not stop us from moving forward in the slightest. Because, I believe that even if it is not us, sooner or later, there will be someone."
Open up a new world! Someone will prove that those who died before me, or me who will die in the future, died meaningfully! They died valuable!"
Verak remembered that when he first arrived in Lezein, he once told himself that he was doing something almost impossible. This thing made his life burst out with greater value. Even if he died, the history books
There will also be a few more words written about him in the book.
Today, he has done much more than he imagined back then, and it is no longer just a matter of recording a few more words in history books.

Government Building Security Department
Ross was tortured by Rock Shriver and turned into almost a bloody man, hanging in a dark interrogation room.
"I've given you so many opportunities, why don't you know how to take advantage of them?" Rock Shriver didn't like to take action, so he let his subordinates abuse and beat Ross while he acted as a good guy and tried to persuade him.
"Uh... uh..." Ross was speechless, he could only let out a dying groan.
He had been tortured by Rock Shriver for two days. During these two days, he had experienced torture that he had never experienced even in Dymans Prison. He didn't know how he could hold on for two days. He knew very well how weak he was.
, Normally, there would be no need to go to such trouble, and everything that needs to be explained after being beaten with two sticks would be explained honestly.
But at this time, he held on, and the whip tore his body to pieces without letting go once.
"Let him sober up." Ross was holding on so hard. He must have mastered some important secret. Rock Shriver boldly guessed that as long as he captured Ross, he would be able to gain an advantage in the battle between the Peace Alliance and others.
A subordinate poured some water in Rose's face.
The water made the drowsy Ross wake up a lot, and because it flowed through the wound, it caused burning pain to invade his whole body.
"How much benefit did Chris give you? Or how did he hypnotize you? Can you tell me about it?" Rock Shriver approached the hung Rose, "I'm not even interested in what secrets you hide now, I'm more interested in it."
I’m curious as to what kind of thoughts you have in mind that you are willing to hold on to.”
"Uh... uh..." Ross's mind was still clear, but he was still speechless.
Why can I last for two days?
Maybe because of Verak?
Verak endured Lecter's inhumane abuse for nine days.
Ross was embarrassed to surrender after being tortured for a day or two while being favored. The standard he secretly set for himself was that he would either be killed alive or survive nine days and reveal Verak's secret.
.
As long as I can survive the nine days and prove to have endured more than Verak, then even if I tell the secret, the psychological burden will not be too great.
"The Equality Society... is really interesting." Rock Shriver has always been arrogant, but the Equality Society began to force him to lower his head a few months ago.
"I...don't know..." Ross said.
Two days have passed, and he only needs to hold on for another seven days to survive.
Ross comforted himself like this.
Compared with Verak, who was favored by everyone at the beginning, he is even more lonely. He is fighting alone, overcoming physical devastation and fighting against inner temptations.
"Do we still have the theory of equality here?" Rock Shriver looked at his subordinates.
Verac had suggested that he read "On Equality" before, and he also said that he was interested in "On Equality", but in fact this was just a verbal confrontation, and he had not faced up to the chaotic writing of "On Equality".
something that comes out.
Now, there are more and more questions in his mind, and equality will create more and more impossibilities, so his curiosity naturally rises.
"They were all destroyed," the subordinate replied.
"No matter how clean the destruction is, it won't be difficult to find a copy for me." Locke Shriver didn't think that the trash under him could really handle the matter of destroying "The Theory of Equality" cleanly enough.
"yes……"
"By the way, don't bother." Rock Shriver remembered the manuscript of "On Equality" written by "Chris" that was gathering dust in his office. He had something to read, "Just continue to destroy it with all your strength."
"yes……"
Ross didn't know what Rock Shriver was planning, but he still moaned: "Uh... uh..."
"Let me get to know you better. What kind of magic power do you have?" Rock Shriver gently patted Rose's cheek, not examining it.
