Under the leadership of White, the Minister of Security, Locke Shriver met the President of the Bresci Republic and received commendations and encouragement from him. This inflated his ambitions and almost bet everything on the Equality Society.
Use these stupid revolutionaries to help you rise to higher levels of power.
In the evening, he prepared everything, gave detailed instructions to the subordinates who stayed behind in the Intelligence Bureau, and made preparations to stay at the military warehouse to take charge of the overall situation in the following days, so he rushed back as soon as possible.
"How's it going?" After returning to the room where Diaz and others were monitored in the South District, Locke Shriver went straight to the window and took a telescope for observation.
"They have explored the three blocks near the military warehouse today." A subordinate replied.
"Three blocks?!" Rock Shriver was extremely surprised by this efficiency. "Just the three of them?"
The subordinate said: "Only Diaz and Nord. It can be seen that they are in a hurry. Except for coming back for a meal at noon, they have not rested for a minute at other times. They just exhausted three groups of us."
"Heh." Locke Shriver's eyes lit up, and he looked at the bright window in the distance with the help of a telescope, "The World Expo is about to end. Not only are we unable to sit still, but the Equality Association cannot sit still either. Judging from this situation
, the day after tomorrow at the latest, a large force from the Pingding Association will come over."
"Then Morais and Chloe from the Equality Society should also be able to come over, right?"
"Of course." Rock Shriver was full of confidence in using the military warehouse as a bait to capture the Equality Society in one fell swoop. "Anything the Equality Society wants to do, they must first clear the vacancies for weapons. Therefore, the military warehouse is their latest focus.
Most importantly, it is normal for new leaders like Morais and Chloe to come over."
The subordinate nodded: "Then we must seize the time to mobilize our troops and make arrangements, right?"
"I have personally reported this matter to the president." Locke Shriver put down his telescope, his eyes full of arrogance, "Mr. President notified the patrol guards and other stationed soldiers, asking them to fully assist me next. So as long as I say
With the order, we can concentrate our troops here immediately."
"That……"
"We have to wait." Rock Shriver returned to the sofa and opened his suitcase, which contained clothes and the original manuscript of "Equality." "The Equality Society will be very cautious, and I don't want to leave too many hidden dangers before taking action.
.”
"clear."
Locke Shriver took out "The Theory of Equality" and grinned contemptuously: "Tomorrow a team of people will come to assist you in surveillance. Starting today, I want you to not relax for twenty-four hours a day and put the intelligence about them first."
Report to me when the time comes."
"clear!"
"If something goes wrong again..." Rock Shriver was worried that something would happen to his useless subordinates, and his face suddenly turned cold. He took turns staring at the more than ten subordinates in the room, "There is no need to blame the superiors, I will deal with you one by one personally.
Lose."

"The water is coming."
"Hurry up!"
Murphy brought two pots of hot water and poured one pot in front of Diaz and Nord, who were sitting on the chair.
"Hiss..." Nord slowly put his feet that were almost unconscious from the cold into the steaming basin. When the water reached his ankles, he exhaled a long breath comfortably, "Huh..."
"It's really cold tonight." Diaz, a person who doesn't like to talk about the pain he has experienced, couldn't help but sigh at today's temperature.
Nord closed his eyes and focused all his attention on enjoying the foot bath.
"Yeah." Murphy went to add firewood to the stove again, "I've never felt this cold before."
"No need to work so hard, you should take a rest." Diaz said.
"Yeah." Murphy agreed but did not follow suit.
After a while, Nord calmed down and said, "We will start taking action tomorrow. Have you decided where to rent a house?"
"It's settled. We will reserve some hotels in the three surrounding blocks. Just make sure the total number of rooms is more than 200." Diaz said, "Murphy, give me the money."
"We have to make the reservation until the fifth of next month, right? This is really not a small amount of money..."
"If this money can prevent many people from dying, it will be well spent." Diaz took the two thousand gold grams from Murphy, "But if the two hundred are divided evenly, each hotel will get only
Quite a few. It would be best if we could lower the price and save money for the association."
After the water cooled down, Nord stretched out his feet and wiped them: "I'm good at this, leave it to me tomorrow."
"Let's talk tomorrow."
"When we reserve all the rooms tomorrow, the government will definitely think that we have decided to attack here, and have arranged for at least hundreds of people." Nord thought about the government's judgment of them and said with a smile, "In addition,
It's such a crucial time for renting on the 5th. By the time the 5th comes, they will probably transfer more than half of their troops here."
"If everything goes well, it will be like this. If it doesn't go well -"
"Don't be so talkative, this matter will definitely be completed smoothly." Nord wiped his feet and looked at each other with a smile, "Okay, go to bed early, there are a lot of things to be busy with later."
Diaz watched Nord go to bed and wrap himself in a quilt and fall asleep, and also began to wipe his feet: "It will be fine."

December 26th
In the past few days, many people have gradually moved in from the Morais faction's Equality Association headquarters in the West District, and the small factory has become more lively than ever.
The newly formulated study class by Verak and his colleagues has basically been implemented. After discussing with Andre, they decided to set the time of the study class during meal time every day and the location will be in the cafeteria.
Since several people were willing to do what they said, the matter was discussed in the morning and officially held in the cafeteria at noon without any delay.
This processing factory secretly controlled by the Ping An Association is different from other factories. It secretly operates three shifts to allow the workers to have sufficient time to rest. This also results in that they can only appear together when they are eating and sleeping every day.
Rather than taking up rest time, eating and listening to lectures is naturally the best arrangement.
At noon that day, with the workers and the members who had been transferred from the main station, the cafeteria was crowded with a total of more than 200 people. But fortunately, Andre led people to work overtime in the past few days to produce a large number of seats, so that at least everyone
They can all sit and eat in an orderly manner.
Verak, Keating, and Piaf had eaten in advance and now stood in the middle of the cafeteria and began to give lectures to everyone.
"Hello comrades, although after a few days of getting along with each other, everyone has basically gotten to know us, but I still want to formally introduce the three of us to you before the lecture." Verak smiled and ate the meal, everyone was excited.
Looking at her workers, she said, "Comrade Piaf, she is very powerful. She is a person who dares to fight for the rights that women deserve and to fight against any injustice. In addition to running a newspaper to speak out for women, she also created
Important works such as the 'Women's Manifesto', we will tell everyone about these."
The workers listened with great interest.
Andre stood in the corner, his eyes shining.
"Comrade Keating." Verak extended his hand to Keating again, "He has been to many countries and is very knowledgeable and knows everything. He is my extremely respected teacher. He helps me get out of the darkness and builds up my confidence. He will also help me."
Everyone, try your best to analyze your knowledge to everyone."
Keating smiled and shook his head.
"I, Verak." Verak has seen a lot of big scenes. Facing hundreds of workers, the members did not have any stage fright and said in a clear voice, "Actually, I am a worker just like everyone else. I once worked in steelmaking
I worked in a factory for many years, and then by chance, I became a photographer. Later, I devoted myself to the great cause of fighting for equality..."
After a brief introduction, Verak got to the point and gave a formal lecture: "The first thing I will tell you today is the 'Women's Manifesto' written by Comrade Piaf. Why is it a 'Women's Manifesto'? Why should I talk about it first?
What about women’s equality? We all agree that if we want to strive for equality, we
We must first recognize our own shortcomings and realize that when others treat us unequally, are we treating others unequally? If we can correct our own problems first, we can express the sincerity we deserve and gain the
More allies, working together for greater and more comprehensive equality."
Piaf took a step forward, took out the "Women's Manifesto" she had written, and read its contents calmly to the male and female workers and transferred members: "Women have the right to climb the scaffolding.
Also entitled to appear in the Tribune..."

December 27
Diaz has finished booking the house and completed the second phase of the task.
Locke Shriver, who was always monitoring them, did not raise suspicions for the time being. After quietly investigating and finding out that the Equality Society had reserved a house with more than 200 rooms here, and directly assigned it to No. 5, he was so excited that he almost wanted to fire a few shots to celebrate.
In his opinion, this already explains a lot.
First, the Equality Association decided to attack the military warehouse in the Southern District.
Second, they will send at least more than 200 people, and if more, it may exceed 500. The combat strength of 500 people is almost the entire Equality Society. This means that at least one of Morais and Chloe will be able to
Coming here also means that if they completely annihilate the power of the Equality Society, the Equality Society will hardly pose a threat to them anymore. They only need to take advantage of the victory and pursue them all in one fell swoop.
Third, the room is scheduled for the 5th, indicating that the Equality Society may take action on the 5th. The 5th is also the closing time of the World Exposition, which reveals that the Equality Society will probably first attack the military warehouse and obtain weapons on the 5th, and then
Then go straight to the World Exposition.
Rock Shriver believed that he had figured out most of the Equality Society's master plan, and he also made preliminary arrangements for transfers.
The military warehouse itself has several trucks coming and going every day, responsible for transporting military supplies. Locke Schreif paid attention to this and began to arrange for the military warehouse to transport the supplies out bit by bit by trucks, and then quietly transport a large number of troops in.
In this way, not to mention other deployments, when the Ping Ping Association is about to attack the military warehouse, there will be no less than 500 troops in the military warehouse. Not only will it not be attacked so easily, but there will also be a chance to counterattack the Ping Ping Association.
Others, the entire city's patrol guards, gradually gathered in the southern district where the military warehouse was located, and where the World Exposition was held.
——
A few days later, on December 31, the West District Equality Association headquarters was basically evacuated, and Morais took the last remaining people to the North District factory in a truck.
Many factories in the North District were secretly controlled by the Equality Society. After Morais arrived, the transferred members were divided into different factories to take refuge according to their original division of labor.
Verak, Keating, and Piaf still stayed in the processing plant that Andre was responsible for to give lectures, and Morais also designated this place as the temporary headquarters.
It was after eleven o'clock that night that Morais completed all the transfer matters.
At this point, the Morais faction is completely out of Chloe's control. Even if Chloe betrays the Equality Society in the future and switches sides in order to cooperate with the government, it will not pose much of a threat to them.
"Tomorrow is the New Year." After finishing his work, Morais was still not sleepy, so he took the Equality Association cadres in the factory to sit around in the canteen to drink and relax, "Let's have a drink."
"Just think of it as celebrating the success of the battle in advance!" Andre said holding the cup.
The Minister of Intelligence, Charles, burst into laughter: "We cannot take it lightly and drink and drink and celebrate."
"Comrade Charles is right." Piaf took a sip of wine and lit a cigarette.
"Teacher, it's the new year soon, do you have anything you want to say?" Verak had a pretty good drinking capacity, so he drank the wine in one gulp just to be happy, and then looked at Keating beside him.
"I think the new year will be recorded in history and will also be a new beginning for this world." Keating said while shaking his wine glass.
After hearing this, Morais raised his eyebrows and stood up to pour wine for everyone in person: "Comrade Keating is right, the new year will be a new beginning for the world. I sincerely hope that everyone can work hard and change everything one day.
.”
"I will definitely do it. Let's have another drink." Andre raised the glass.
"I drink this drink for Chris, for Francis, and for the many comrades who have sacrificed their lives." Morais stood up, "If they were here and saw that equality has grown to this point, they would definitely get drunk.
If you feel this joy, let me accept it for the time being."
"I'll drink for Rose." Verak also stood up.
He was thinking of Ross.
At this time, in the government building, apart from Boyin being imprisoned, Ross's life and death were still uncertain. Moreover, the government had not made any response to his true identity, which meant that Ross had not leaked anything.
Charles saw this and followed: "Then I will drink for Diaz, Murphy and Nord who are fighting alone at the military warehouse in the South District."
"I speak for all women," Piaf said.
"I'll take Boyin's place, it seems like none of you care about him." Keating joked.
