The New Year has just passed, and the festive atmosphere was instantly diluted. Instead, there was an explosion that everyone could faintly feel.
They couldn't tell what form the outbreak took. They only knew that the problems that had been accumulated for a long time would be settled together.
In the factory, Morais also summoned all cadres to confirm the final battle plan.
The factory canteen was temporarily converted into a conference room. On the conference table were two maps, one for Lezein and one for the government building.
"Mortensen, Sibal, how are you preparing the weapons?" Morais changed into simple and smart clothes today, which made his aura become more pure and direct.
"The total weapons prepared so far are enough to arm more than 1,570 people, and the ammunition is enough for us to fight with full firepower for four hours." The two selected representatives to report, "In addition, there is also enough explosives.
.”
"Where's the armed training?" Morais looked at Keating.
Keating had also previously met with the cadres responsible for the armed training department. When Morais asked, he immediately replied: "Currently, 1,700 people have been trained, of which 1,628 are qualified."
"Over there the military warehouse and the exposition."
"The military warehouse has attracted the attention of the government. Currently, the government has sent at least hundreds of troops there, and it is estimated that there will be thousands of troops before we take action. The expo is also approaching the closing ceremony.
As time passes, we will continue to strengthen our precautions." Charles said.
Morais nodded and was very satisfied with the completion of the mission. He pointed to Lezein's map: "We have tried our best to disperse the government's forces through various methods, but even so, the government building is
The defensive strength on the border will still not be less than a thousand people. In other words, we have a very tough battle to fight, and this battle will last for a long time."
More than a dozen cadres stood up one after another, lined up on both sides of the conference table, and bent over the map.
"Therefore, we have to try every means to delay the return of troops from other parts of the government. The first arrangement is to cut off the telephone lines around the government. Secondly, we have to create chaos in many places in Lezein city to confuse the public.
Morais introduced the combat plan calmly, "Mortensen and Sibal will be responsible for these two parts respectively."
"Understood." Mortensen and Sibal agreed in unison.
"During Operation No. 4, the intelligence department must immediately rescue the three comrades in the military warehouse." Morais glanced at Verak first, and then told Charles, "The mission must be completed."
"Understood." Charles said.
Verak had the intention to cooperate with Charles in rescuing Diaz, Nord, and Murphy, but Morais did not arrange for him to go there. He guessed that Morais wanted to participate in the attack on the government building.
"Then there is the matter of disturbing the expo." Morais' fingertips slid from the government building to the Mona Pavilion, "We must not use force here, we can only promote the concept of equality through mild means. Wait for the government to take action.
At this time, draw the firepower to Chloe and the others, so that they are forced to participate and help us contain the heavy government troops. This task will be handled by Li Meng and Liszt."
"Public Opinion Offensive, Piaf."
"Logistics, casualty care, Orak, Carl."
"Ready Combat Team, Red."
"Retreat leader, Frank."
…
Morais made arrangements, and the miscellaneous tasks took away most of the cadres present, leaving only six cadres including Verak and Keating who have not yet made arrangements.
"The remaining people, together with me, are responsible for completing the most difficult and critical task of attacking the government building." Morais stood in front of the simple floor plan of the government building. "The worst possibility is that the troops outside will attack on the first step of our attack."
We got the news immediately. In this way, excluding the time for our safe evacuation, we must take over the government building within twenty minutes. If we fail, the price will be a serious blow to our internal confidence and the confidence of the people to resist. We will
Ushering in the real cold winter.”
Verak looked at the floor plan in silence.
"Of course, we are not trying to completely capture the government buildings. Even if it is possible, it will take a long, long time, and the situation tells us that we can only win quickly." Morais pointed to the security of the government buildings.
Ministry of Intelligence Bureau, "Our main focus of attack is here. Capturing it is equivalent to capturing the government building. We can also rescue President Boyne, Comrade Daniel, and Comrade Verak's friend Ross..."

At the main station of Chloe's group in the North District
Chloe's people also secretly investigated the sites of Morais' group in the shortest possible time, and found that not only the main station, but also all Equality sites under Morais' jurisdiction had been secretly replaced, and the original ones had become empty shells.
Either a few people should be left to maintain the operation on the surface, or the building should be completely empty.
After receiving the news, the atmosphere in the conference room became frighteningly depressing.
"Speak, does anyone have any ideas?" Chloe urged the cadres to express their opinions on this.
"It's obvious that Morais will make some moves recently, and it's very likely that they will be aimed at us."
"The fact that they are so secretive and the transfer was completed recently, I think it has something to do with the closing ceremony of the World Expo. They are probably determined to continue fighting with the government."
"So, they reached a consensus with us just to stabilize us, afraid that we would disrupt their situation? Damn these bastards, they won't let us disrupt their situation, and they will disrupt ours instead!"
Now there are no voices in the conference room excusing Morais.
The facts are before everyone's eyes.
"Then what do you think we should do next?" Chloe had already been mentally prepared, so she showed no emotional fluctuations and asked coldly.
"We definitely cannot fall into passivity. We must take action before Morais and the others take action. Only in this way can we possibly save the situation."
"I agree. God knows how many things Morais has done during the time he deceived us. I'm afraid we no longer have any advantage. If we lose the opportunity to take action again, things will really get out of control."
"I agree too. Now that they deceived us first, we can make our choice without mercy."
Everyone agreed that since they had completely broken up with Morais, they should not continue to be indecisive, but should seize all available tools to regain control of the situation.
Chloe listened patiently for a while, until the subordinate's voice gradually disappeared, and then nodded: "What everyone said is very reasonable. Morais deceived us, so don't blame us for turning against them. Look who
It is for the Association for Equality and for the sake of the people that we can achieve our demands with minimal losses."
"Then what are we going to do?" the subordinate asked.
"There are still three days until the World Expo. They will definitely take action at the expo..." Chloe was a little hesitant at the moment. His next choice will determine the fate of the entire Equality Society.
Just have a phone call with Morais to stop him.
Or should we contact the government first and disclose the situation to the government?
The former is a personal affair. The latter can not only stop the Morais faction, but also show the government that the Equality People sincerely want peace talks and are sincerely willing to believe that the government can resolve their demands.
"President?" When a subordinate called Chloe, he had already called him the president.
They believe that Chloe is the one who can lead them to the end and realize their ideals.
"Call Morais first." Chloe was deeply moved by her own humanity. "Although they deceived us, we can't act on impulse and give up so many comrades we have worked with. Do it one last time
Try, if Morais insists on his idea, we will have to join forces with the government first."
"Okay." The cadres had no objection.
Chloe dialed Morais' number.
——
"There are currently some of our manpower stationed in the government building. Although it is not many, it is better than none." Morais asked the cadres assigned the task to leave first to make their own preparations, and then talked to the remaining people.
Battle plan, "Before we attack, they will tamper with the food in the government building..."
"Comrade Morais." Andre strode into the cafeteria, interrupting Morais' voice.
Morais looked away from the map: "What's wrong?"
"Your phone call," Andre said, "is from Comrade Chloe."
"Chloe..." Morais was in a daze, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "Why is he calling at this juncture?"
"He didn't say the reason, he just said he was looking for you."
Morais put down his pen and looked at Verak, Keating and others: "I'll go over there and you guys will study it first."
After Morais left with Andre to answer the phone, Verak turned to look at Keating: "Why do you think Chloe is calling now?"
Keating had been studying the map for too long, and his eyes were a little sore. He was taking the opportunity to rub the bridge of his nose to relax: "The closing ceremony of the expo will be soon. Maybe he is still a little worried about Morais and wants to make sure."
"I hope so." Verak's intuition told him that the situation was not that simple.
"What do you think?" Keating heard that Verak didn't think so.
"I think Chloe may have noticed something." Verak squinted his eyes and listened to the other people discussing the details of the battle plan. "And if he has noticed something, he can really do anything.
come out."
Keating slowly put down the hand that was rubbing the bridge of his nose and opened his tired eyes: "If it is as you guessed, our combat plan will most likely be suspended."
"It's better that nothing happened." Verak wished in his heart.
——
"Hello, this is Morais." Morais answered the phone.
"What are you busy with? I have to wait so long for you to make a call." Chloe on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.
Morais was not in a hurry to explain his situation, but also inquired about the other party's details: "What important matter you have, you can't let someone tell me, you have to answer the phone in person."
"Nothing, just asking about your plans for the next few days."
"What are your plans for the next few days?" Morais guessed that this was what Chloe was going to ask about. "It's still the same as before. Just stay peacefully. When the expo is over and the relationship with the government is no longer tense, go find him."
They talk, decide what needs to be decided, and get the bills that need to be passed."
"That's it?"
"Otherwise? What else should I do?"
Chloe smiled helplessly and sighed: "Oh, but I heard that you are not very peaceful over there. You make small and big moves frequently, as if you are plotting something."
Morais knew that Chloe must know something, otherwise she wouldn't have said such words to test him inexplicably, but he still chose to pretend to be dumbfounded before the other party showed his face: "What's the plot? Are you kidding?"
What a joke. The New Year has passed and this routine is no longer interesting."
"Where are you now?" Chloe asked. "In the South District? Or in the North District? Or out of Lezein?"
Morais's face turned completely cold.
Chloe knew about their transfer.
There are so many of them and so many sites need to be transferred. It is impossible to completely avoid Chloe's spy. It is already impressive to be able to persist for so long before being discovered. But Morais is still a little regretful. If
It would have been better if Chloe had found out two days later, when they had finished attacking the government building and everything had settled.
Now we know that it is equivalent to cutting off their path abruptly.
"Is this important?" Morais confronted Chloe.
"Then what is important to you? Is it your own selfish interests that are more important, or is it the equality society and the people's overall situation that is more important?" Chloe couldn't bear to pretend any longer and asked Morais.
Morais was not angry because Chloe labeled the struggle of his group as 'selfish': "When things have come to this, what do you want?"
"Actually, I hesitated for a long time before making this call to you. Do you know what I was hesitating about? I was hesitating whether to call you first and give you the last chance to choose, or whether to give up on you and contact the government."
"Give me one last chance to make a choice? Do you mean you agree to follow the method you formulated, choose to trust the government, and give up the fight?" Morais couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard Chloe say that he wanted to contact the government.
.
While they fight tooth and nail to confront the irreconcilable government, Chloe considers siding with the government.
This is a naked betrayal of equality!
"It's not that simple anymore." Chloe sneered, wanting to let Morais feel his disappointment, "After you make your choice this time, I will send someone to take over your work until the new bill is introduced.
.”
No new bill will be introduced in this life because of Chloe's compromise, which means that once Morais' power is handed over, it will never come back.
But Morais did not simply reject this request that no one would accept, because if he opened his mouth now, Chloe would hang up the phone and turn to the government for cooperation.
"How about we meet."
No matter what, you have to stabilize Chloe first and delay for time. Only then can you have time to think about countermeasures and formulate countermeasures for each possible situation.
Morais avoided answering and tried to invite him to meet.
