Verac opened the first chapter of "On Equality": Understanding Inequality.
[Today's society, no matter from which aspect you look at it, has no other basis except the creed of equality. However, this does not prevent us from thinking that inequality still dominates. (Note: 1)]
[Inequality is an eternal feature of human society, but the 'contract' between the rulers and the ruled should be rethought. The government should not only protect the wealth and rights of a few people, but should focus on the rights and rights of everyone
Equality. (Note: 2)]
[A philosopher from Pruman once said that the present, born in the past, breeds a great future. Francis and I also agree that only by understanding the past can we change the present and affect the future. So when talking about what equality is
At this time, we must first look back to the past and understand what inequality is... (Note: 3)]
This book is not too obscure compared to the other books in Chris's bedroom. It frequently quotes classics, tries to use easy-to-understand words to describe what true equality is, and criticizes the Bressi Republic and the entire world.
various diseases.
After reading the first chapter attentively, Verak breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his sore eyes, and looked up at the time. Unexpectedly, two hours had passed.
The first chapter didn't contain much content, but it took Verak such a long time to read it. Verak was quite surprised.
After reading it, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Some things were answered, and some things expanded into bigger questions. He didn't know whether he was clearer or less clear.
Anyway, today's study of "The Theory of Equality" ends here, and he will go out tomorrow night. If Verak wants to be fully prepared, he must absorb the information strictly according to the priorities he has set.
Resisting his curiosity, he put away "On Equality" and took out the list.
In the morning, he had already selected the first group of members from the list who met the conditions and needed to be understood. What he needed to do now was to conduct further screening, classify these people into different levels, and gain different levels of understanding according to different levels.
After completing this work, there was less than half an hour before dinner started. Verak chose to take a rest and wait until dinner was over before continuing with the subsequent work.
In fact, for Verak, rest just means that he no longer receives new information. His mind will still keep turning over and over the existing things to figure out and remember them.
In the second round, seventeen people were screened out. These seventeen people are all people who theoretically have deep connections with Verak in the rebel organization. Verak must understand everything about these seventeen people within his own ability.
This is not easy, after all, the list only contains their photos, names, apparent identities, and positions in the rebel organization.
Verak has to do more to adapt to circumstances.
"Ah..." Verak came to the window, trying to empty his mind and relax for a while.
The complicated situation and the challenges that come one after another are testing Verak every minute and every second. He has to rely on his only dim and shining two months of experience in twenty-six years to deal with large consortiums and rebel organizations.
"What a huge gamble." Verak grinned and chuckled.
He knew that he was doing something almost impossible, but this thing made his life burst out with greater value. Even if he were to die now, history books would record four more words about him:
The clown.
That's enough.
There was a knock on the door, and the servant called Verak down for dinner.
Verak, who had just been in front of the window for a minute, shrugged helplessly, turned around, opened the door and went downstairs.
Carmine, Mera and his wife are back, and Mr. Fletcher is aside.
"Father, mother, sister, Julia." Verak greeted Thomas and his family and sat down to prepare for dinner.
"Chris." Carmine unexpectedly spoke to Verak for the first time before the meal.
"Father." Verak responded.
"You have almost recovered from your illness. Prepare to go to work in the next few days." Carmine said.
Verak concealed his joy and said calmly: "Understood, father."
The time for free movement in this life is half a month earlier than in the previous life. This is also due to the rapid progress of Virak's studies and has already met the requirements.
"Father, how did things go?" Kellerman asked Carmine during the meal.
Verak continued to eat as if nothing had happened, but his attention was already focused on Carmine.
"I have asked someone to strengthen the security of the mansion. You will also have bodyguards accompanying you when you travel in the future." Carmine said.
Chris, matters related to rebel organizations are too sensitive. Although the Thomas family has extensive connections, they are still dumb and do not dare to seek help directly. They can only work hard on security to prevent rebel organizations.
This is good news.
Originally, Verak was a little worried that Carmine would do something beyond his control because of Dempsey's assassination and file theft. Now it seems that what he did was still within Carmine's tolerance.
After dinner, Fletcher just came to the door and told Verak to continue studying hard and left.
Because the recent troubles have attracted too much attention, and because Verak himself has imitated Chris very closely, Fletcher has loosened his control on him recently.
Finally, the most difficult period was over. After the rain and the sky cleared, Verak felt much happier. In the evening, he looked through the planning book written by Chris during his lifetime.
Chris's plan for the next stage of the rebel organization is to keep a low profile and bide his time.
He is very self-aware and knows that with their current strength, confronting the entire country is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. If Francis is so blatant and radical in resisting Bressi, he will only usher in more violent suppression.
The best way now is to slowly spread their ideas to more people, spreading from Lezein, to the whole country of Bressey, and to the entire world.
After gaining recognition from more and more people, they have the confidence to try to influence and change the country.
This is a long process, but it is also the most promising way.
Verak agreed with Chris's development strategy and felt that there was no need to mix his own opinions into it. When the time came, he would meet the members of the rebel organization and talk about future development, and just use this as the core development policy.
