"Meet? Is there anything that must be discussed?" Chloe dismissed Morais' clumsy way of delaying, "How many meetings have we had and how many phone calls have we made about this matter?
Can you count them? Anyway, I can’t count them. If you still want to repeat the previous things this time, give up as soon as possible."
Morais organizes his language carefully.
This time Chloe is not so easy to fool. A slight mistake in his wording may lead to a complete breakdown in the relationship between the two factions, and then lead to the failure of the plan to attack the government building.
"Unless you make a choice, we will only meet to discuss in detail how my people will take over your people, otherwise I will not meet with you." Chloe added before Morais could speak.
"I need time." Morais' face was livid, and he took several deep breaths to stabilize his emotions and not forcefully break out into a meaningless argument with Chloe.
He had imagined that he would struggle against the government and all external forces, but he would fall into the quagmire of internal fighting with his own people. He had not considered it, and he did not want to think about it.
"It's all said and done, let's stop being secretive." A mocking snort came from Chloe's end again, "Do you think it's necessary to give more time? How many days have passed since the beginning?
Months, if you could figure it out you should have figured it out long ago."
"If you think I won't figure it out, why did you make this call?"
"Isn't this trying to make you look better? We have reached a consensus and you are forced to compromise with me. You should know whichever news is good." Chloe figured out that the two factions were now in a state of barefoot.
He was not afraid of wearing shoes, so he spoke confidently.
Morais laughed at himself: "I have been working together for two years, and I never thought I would be forced to this point by you."
"You are to blame. I have given you many opportunities. This time, I have not been completely disappointed with you because of your treatment. I am still thinking of my old relationship and giving you a chance." Chloe always believed that she was worthy of anyone.
On the contrary, he was infinitely tolerant of Morais who was walking on the wrong path.
"Since you know so clearly about our site change, you should also know about our actions on the 5th, right?" Morais buried the opportunity to reverse the situation in his words.
"I know a little bit," Chloe said.
The time Morais and the others set for their action was the day before the closing ceremony of the World Expo, which was the 4th. Now he let Chloe subconsciously maintain the wrong understanding that they would take action on the day of the closing ceremony, so that they could make a time difference.
, break out of the mire.
"There are only three days left. I have prepared a lot, but now I have to shoot."
"I don't think there is anything that must be done. You have to stop the arrow if you don't, otherwise you know the consequences." Chloe was still aggressive.
"You have no idea how many things I have laid out, and how many people have already started to take action. This stop will mean the sacrifice of dozens or hundreds of people." Morais also deliberately struggled.
Chloe raised her voice and launched an offensive against Morais: "If you don't stop, thousands of people will be sacrificed! It will mean that the Equality Society will fall short! How many people will you apologize to by then? Which one is more important? Huh?"
"I need time." Morais fought for it. "It also takes time for all of this to stop."
"Hey, how long do you want?" Chloe laughed meaningfully, planning to explore Morais's bottom first.
"On the 5th." Morais left room for the operation on the 4th. "We originally planned to operate in the afternoon, but now if we want to end it all, it will take at least until the morning."
After hearing this, Chloe couldn't help laughing.
Morais listened quietly to his laughter for more than ten seconds.
"Why don't you just say that you have to be stubborn?" Chloe said with a smile, "You have lied to me so many times, and you still want me to wait until the 5th? Can the 5th really take over all of you? I can't see it.
Isn’t it? When the time comes, you must not stir up trouble in Laizein and make it impossible for the Equality Society to sit down and discuss with the government calmly?”
"Then what do you think we should do? With so many people moving, of course they won't just stop!"
"Tomorrow." Chloe's laughter stopped and she said word by word, "You can definitely get it done by tomorrow night. After that, my people will take over for you. Come over here and watch how I lead."
Equality changes everything."
Tomorrow is the third and time is still too tight.
Morais continued to argue: "Impossible, what can you do with this little time? Are you calling me for the sake of us, or do you just want to deliberately embarrass me and see me make a fool of myself?"
"Where are you talking about?"
"Night of the 4th!" Morais gave in a little, no longer insisting on the fact that it was impossible to pass on the 5th.
"You agreed?" Chloe asked.
"I didn't agree." Morais pretended to be forced to compromise to avoid arousing suspicion by agreeing too quickly. "I have always believed that struggle is the only way out. But now that the situation has reached this point, I just have to fight for thousands of comrades.
Can terminate the plan."
Chloe's voice sounded a little more relaxed, not as guarded as before: "So what you mean is that you just stopped temporarily and will continue to take this road in the future?"
"Of course!" Morais said simply, "I can let you try your plan first and go your own way. But you will definitely fail, and we will definitely resume the plan again and continue to fight!"
"Okay, okay, let time answer this." Chloe felt half relieved.
He is not afraid that Morais still retains this idea. On the contrary, Morais persisted for several months and suddenly supported him without hesitation, which made him afraid and suspicious.
It doesn't matter to Morais that he maintains this attitude and says that he will fight again when they fail. Because as long as he can temporarily hold them down, all conflicts will naturally be resolved after their demands are reached in a gentle way.
"But the night of the 4th is still too tight. There is no trust between you and me. I will leave you until noon on the 4th at most." Chloe was still uneasy about the time. "But if you have anything else during this period,
If our actions are discovered, or if my people are refused to take over the work at noon on the 4th, then really don’t blame me, I will notify the government of the news as soon as possible."
"Whether you can listen to it or not, I just want to give you one final advice: don't trust the government." Morais breathed a sigh of relief and became more comfortable pretending.
It would be easier if Chloe extended the time to noon on the 4th.
They will launch an operation on the morning of the 4th. By then, it will be impossible for Chloe's people to save the situation. However, he has only dragged hope back to the edge. After that, there is really no room for mediation.
If Chloe's people notice anything again, he will 100% secretly unite with the government to dig a big hole for them.
"Time will give us the answer." Chloe didn't waver at all.
"Then be prepared to bear the fate of hundreds of people." Morais hung up the phone and sat in a daze for a long time before wiping the sweat from his forehead and rushing to the meeting with a cigarette in his mouth.
office and reconvene all cadres.
——
"Hello?" There was no response, and Chloe put down the phone with a smile, "Fortunately among the misfortunes, Comrade Morais finally formally compromised, saving thousands of comrades from unnecessary sacrifices."
The conference room suddenly burst into warm applause.
More than a dozen cadres looked eagerly and regarded Chloe as the great leader who saved the Equality Society.
"But he just hung up on you, does that mean he changed his mind?" After the applause, a subordinate asked worriedly.
"I know him. His hanging up the phone does mean that he is unconvinced and dissatisfied, but it does not mean that he has changed his mind." Chloe wanted to drink some coffee, but found that the coffee in the cup had been drained.
If he changes his mind, he won't have the guts to say these troubling words to me, and he will try his best to show weakness and comfort me."
A subordinate stood up with great insight, took Chloe's cup, and went to pour the coffee.
"On the contrary, the harder he holds on, the more powerless he becomes." Chloe spread out her hands and asked herself, "There is no choice in front of him. What else can he do besides obeying me? He can do anything.
No."
"Then what's next?"
"Reiner, you are responsible for strengthening surveillance on them and ensuring that they really give up their original plan. Maguire, you organize people and prepare to take over all their leadership." Chloe arranged the subsequent tasks in two directions.
.
"yes."
"yes."
The situation was once again in his favor, and Chloe felt quite emotional. He believed that this was God's will, and that God was helping him to go right in an invisible place: "The rest of the people, and I will work hard to formulate a proposal for system reform and prepare for the World Expo.
After that, the first comprehensive negotiation with the government."
"yes!"
——
In the canteen of the North District factory
Some of the cadres who were sent out to perform tasks were called back before they even arrived.
Verak, Keating and others stayed here. After seeing Morais go out to answer the phone and come back with a sullen face, they almost guessed that there was something wrong with Chloe.
"Everyone, let me tell you some bad news..." After everyone gathered, Morais roughly told the situation about his recent phone call with Chloe.
"Chloe and the others know?! I suggest that we immediately hold those accountable! Find out who made the mistake that made them aware of our site transfer!"
"The situation is even more tense now. In the last two days, we really cannot make any mistakes again!"
"Who can ensure that Chloe and the others have not taken other countermeasures? I think we need to completely resolve the internal conflicts before going to war with the government!"
Chloe's group repeatedly held back their side, and after this time, everyone finally couldn't help but burst into anger.
"Everyone calm down." After waiting for a period of time, Morais' mood was more stable than anyone else's, and he replied to the cadres one by one, "There is no need to hold people accountable. Even if we were able to do it so long before they discovered it, it was
A very commendable thing. Charles is right. From now on, we will not make any mistakes
We can't make any mistakes. Once Chloe finds out again, we will all lose. As for whether to deal with Chloe's side of the problem before the general attack, I personally prefer not to, because Chloe's side will be in the general attack.
They will also play a vital role, and who can guarantee that we can deal with them in two days?"
"Comrade Morais is right, now is not the best time to attack Chloe and the others. We are the ones who cannot be exposed in this operation and cannot act on impulse." Keating agreed with Morais' decision.
Morais took a deep breath of cigarette and slowly exhaled it: "I called you back not to discuss how to deal with Chloe and the others. This should not be discussed now. I just want to say that everyone must be careful next time.
We have to be wary of both the government people and Chloe's side. We have really reached the most critical and critical step. I don't want to see anyone make mistakes, and see that the entire machine breaks down because of a small screw error.
Lose."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Cadres one after another stood up and loudly assured Morais that they would use everything to guarantee and maintain the smooth progress of the mission!
"Everyone." Morais's eyes turned blood red because he had not been able to rest for a long time. He stamped out the cigarette butts and his eyes were more serious than ever before, as if he was entrusting, "The day after tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th, it is important.
It’s time for us to make or break.”
Verak and Keating also stood up.
The atmosphere in front of the conference table was solemn.
"We have sacrificed too many people, taken too many detours, and wasted too much time." When he mentioned the word 'sacrifice', Morais's eyes were not only blood red, but also slightly sparkling.
, "This time, it is inevitable that many people will be injured or even killed in battle - I have never thought of denying this fact. But the key point of the matter is not here. What I want to tell you is that the efforts this time have paid off.
What’s valuable is worth it.”
Verak felt the same way.
In the past two years, the Equality Society has sacrificed too much. Three generations of presidents, Francis, Chris, and Boyne, have led them to fight for equality one after another. They have finally arrived to represent the people who are struggling hard all over the world, to the government, to the old system,
It’s time to challenge the old world!
"No one stands up! Then let's stand up! No one makes a voice! Then let's make a voice! No one fires the first shot! Then let's fire the first shot! No one makes the government timid! Then let's make the government timid
!" Morais waved his fist and roared until his voice trembled, "Since this is wrong, then come on! Let us blow the horn of the wave! Let us first embrace the distant new world!"
Verak tensed up under Morais's hoarse roars again and again, and the others also faced Morais solemnly.
"Work hard! Let the oppressed people around the world see that the government is not invincible! Let revolutionaries everywhere see that they are not fighting alone!" Morais punched the table, "We will finally
