For example, in the past, the Equality Association was a person standing in the water. The government was unwilling to enter the water, so it suffered everywhere. Now that they have stepped into the water, the advantage of the Equality Association is no longer there. If it continues to develop like this,
Sooner or later you will fall into a position where you are at its mercy.
While several people were thinking about countermeasures, little Carl quickly bought four meals and came back.
Also coming in with him was old Mellen, the owner of the tailor shop and the director of the sub-station: "President Boyin, dear comrades."
"Long time no see." Boyin shook hands with the energetic old Mellen, "Have the guests outside left?"
"Well, you and everyone should have something to eat quickly. After a long journey, you should have a good rest after eating. You have to rush to Lezein and meet Comrade Morais in the evening." After the old Meren finished telling Boyin, he took the little boy to him again.
Carl arranged to go out and look after the shop.
"Okay, take a seat." Boyin asked Old Mellen to sit down. "Everyone, let's eat something first."
Verak, Keating, and Winston said hello to old Mellen one after another, and then each took a packaged meal and started eating.
"Is this the Comrade Winston you went to Pruman to find?" Old Mellen sat next to Boyne and looked at the blond Winston.
"Yes." Boyin ate his food.
Winston noticed Old Mellen's gaze, but because of the language barrier, he just smiled and nodded to Old Mellen while enjoying Bressey's delicacies.
"His joining will definitely inspire people. This is extremely important for us who are in a dark period." Old Mellen smiled back and said to Boyne.
"The harvest this time is huge. If Francois hadn't suddenly made so many moves, we would have rolled up our sleeves and worked hard when we came back." Boyne briefly talked about Winston's "Class Theory" and told them
Follow-up thoughts.
"Do you want to set up a cooperative factory to try?" Old Mellen was surprised and delighted. "If the experiment is successful, it will be of great significance to us. This means that we are no longer blindly confronting the government, but starting from exploration.
It turned into construction.”
"Yes." Boyin felt pity, "We just have to resolve the crisis temporarily and solve Francois's problem before we can start to put the theory into practice."
Old Meron, with clear eyes, looked at the group of people at the table: "The Equality Society has gone through so much, and we have not only survived, but we have also done better and better. I believe we will continue to win."
"Yes." Boyin started to eat.
"The new world is in the not-too-distant future." Old Mellen sighed softly.
After lunch, everyone in the conference room expressed new opinions one after another, trying to come up with solutions to the problem, but these small flames of hope were quickly overturned without exception.
The conference room fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Verak felt so bored that he called Nord out of the conference room and went to the toilet to get some fresh air.
Walking out of the bathroom, Verak saw Nord smoking a cigarette and leaning against the wall waiting for him: "When did you learn to smoke?"
"Hiss... Huh..." Nord held the cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke, "Recently."
"You haven't smiled once since you saw me. This is not like you." Verak lightly punched Nord in the chest.
"Among the people executed by the government yesterday, there was a new comrade I taught in the workers' night school established by the association." Nord said the reason why he was in a low mood today, "He is three years younger than me, and he is very frizzy. I
I feel like he asked me if I could work less for a while in the future, if I could wear better clothes, eat better food, and go to school. This was just yesterday..."
Verak faded away with a joking smile: "I understand you."
Nord showed no expression and took another deep drag on his cigarette: "Such a young child died like this. I don't know how to explain it to his family."
Nord, who was once regarded as a child by others, now has a child in his own eyes.
"This is inevitable." Verak wanted to comfort him, but in the end his tone was firmer, "Whether it is this child or you and me, we have to devote our lives when necessary."
"I can kind of feel how you feel." Nord looked at Verak.
"I..." Colin, Dawn and others flashed through Verak's mind, "In short, their sacrifices are a fact. The revolution is not over yet, it has not won yet, we have no time to shed tears, we must continue to move forward bravely and take the new...
The world must be established so that their sacrifices will not be in vain and they will have the dignity to mourn."
Nord walked aside and put out his cigarette in the ashtray: "Yeah, we still have to keep walking. It's just that my shoulders feel a little heavier, as if I'm carrying his expectations."
"Me too." Verak looked at Nord's mature back, "I carry their expectations, and I have to fulfill the promised life as promised."
"How are you outside?" Feeling a little better and looking more broadly, Nord finally asked about Verak's situation in the past few months.
"I met a lot of people and did a lot of things. We really need to go out more. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will go to more places." Verak said.
Nord turned around and cast an envious look: "Comrade Morais and I told him that when necessary, I will leave Lezein and go to other places to perform tasks."
"That's good." Verak supported Nord's decision, "The world is huge, how can we fully understand it if we don't see more?"
"Um."
"How are they?" Verak asked.
Nord walked back to Verak and told him everything he knew about the people Verak knew: "Murphy and I worked together in the workers' night school organized by the union. Diaz was entrusted by Morais with the important task of taking charge of
military matters. Piaf's newspaper is
The newspaper was formally named Equality, and it became an important voice channel for our Equality Society. Elizabeth is now the director of the choir, and the choir is under the Propaganda Department headed by Piaf. Ross's injury has basically recovered, and he is also in the Propaganda Department.
Here, composing music..."
Verak crossed his arms across his chest and listened to Nord describe the current situation of his acquaintances. He nodded with satisfaction: "It's great that everyone has found a suitable position for themselves and contributed their own strength."
"Everyone misses you very much."
"I miss you all too. Well, I can see them tonight. Let's go back and discuss countermeasures with everyone." After taking a breath and chatting with Nord, Verak's irritability disappeared.
null.
The two returned to the conference room and continued the discussion.
Soon, the time came to night.
After dinner in the conference room, the group said goodbye to old Meren, and Nord drove the four of them, Boyne, Verak, Keating, and Winston, to Lezein to meet Morais and others.
