Chapter 274: Face them up like your opponents face themselves
There were a lot of people. Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes focused on him, Winston not only did not feel nervous, he was also extremely happy to work with so many people with lofty ideals: "Hello everyone, I am Winston from Pruman.
.”
Boyne stood in the crowd and repeated Winston's words loudly in Bresci.
After Boyne finished speaking, Winston continued: "Everyone should know that I composed the Internationale. I only learned about the existence of the Equality Society not long ago, and that you are trying to find me against all odds."
With that said, Winston bowed in four directions and thanked everyone for their high hopes for him.
After bowing, Winston looked at everyone with excitement: "I really like what Comrade Boyin said to me on the way to Bressy. He said that there are more than just equals fighting in this world.
, the Equality Society is just the first one to stand up. It may not play a crucial role in this transformation of the old and new world, and it may not even persist until the day of dawn, but it must exist.
value.”
After Winston finished speaking, he paused to give Boyn time to translate.
Verak glanced at Murphy, Piaf, Elizabeth and others standing not far from him, smiled and nodded slightly to them.
"This sentence touched me very much, because when I was fighting alone, I would always doubt myself late at night, thinking about whether the things I did were worth it and whether they were meaningful. Now I know, no matter whether I succeed or fail,
As long as you do it, everything will be valuable."
"I am honored to fight side by side with everyone, and together we will contribute our best to the new world no matter what level we achieve."
After speaking, Winston bowed deeply to everyone again.
The crowd surrounding him burst into applause.
This is not just a simple self-introduction by Winston, but also a proper encouragement to everyone.
"Okay, let's all go back and rest!" After introducing Winston, who everyone was looking forward to, Morais waved his hand to signal the dismissal, "If you want to reminisce about the past, if you still have any questions, let's leave it to tomorrow!"
Everyone knew that the Equality Association was under heavy pressure from Francois, and Boyin and others wanted to hold a meeting immediately when they returned, so after meeting and getting to know Winston, they dispersed, leaving the cadres to go to the conference room for the meeting.
When the cadres in the Pingding Association learned that Boyin was coming back, they rushed back from various places in advance and gathered in the conference room.
A little over half a year ago, when we were studying the attack on the government building, ten chairs on each side of the conference table were more than enough. Now, there are twenty chairs on each side of the conference table, and it is full of seats.
Most of them are familiar faces, such as Piaf, who became the Minister of Propaganda after the Equality Association was strengthened and reorganized, Diaz, Nord, Murphy, who officially became the mainstay, Intelligence Minister Charles, and those who were the backbone of the plan to attack the government.
"There are so many people." Verak couldn't help but sigh when he entered the conference room.
"Now that our members have expanded to tens of thousands, and we have established workers' night schools and other things, we don't have enough cadres to keep us busy." Nord said behind him.
"Okay, everyone, take a seat." Morais and Boyne came to the main seat and asked Verak, Keating, and Winston to sit down.
In private, a few people speak Welsh and can accommodate Winston to communicate in Welsh. However, when dozens of cadres of the Equality Association hold meetings, Bresci is the main language. Therefore, in order to help Winston translate during the meeting
, Verak and Keating, who spoke Welsh, sat on his left and right respectively.
After everyone sat down, Morais glanced at the time on his watch. It was now 3:11 in the morning: "Time is tight, so I would like to trouble everyone to have a meeting so late."
The meeting began quickly, with Verak and Keating beginning to translate in whispers for Winston.
"This is our new comrade, Winston. I think everyone has just learned about it through his self-introduction, but other people will not be discussed in the meeting. You can communicate more in private." Morais looked at it.
He glanced at Winston and got to the point, "Since Francois's coup, we have begun to face unprecedented impacts. In the past, the government was restrained by things such as the World Exposition, and we were able to do so when they were unable to take action and did not dare to act rashly.
They thrive in the environment. But now they are concentrating on destroying us at the expense of short-term interests. The huge gap in strength between us and them is immediately revealed."
"I have learned about the situation from Nord." Boyne said immediately, "François has a clear understanding of us, and this time he took action that hit our vital points. He saw that we are deeply tied to the people.
They share the same hatred and try to separate us, causing us to lose our greatest support and development potential. Seeing that we have repeatedly used armed forces, he sent troops to garrison the city so that we can't fight. Now our hands and feet are tied and we can only be slaughtered.
I think the only way is to block the two swords that Francis threw at us, stab the sword back, and make a powerful counterattack."
"What do you mean, we can't temporarily avoid the edge, we have to resolve the crisis under pressure, and then launch a counterattack?" Piaf confirmed the meaning of Boyin, who had advocated a tough fight just after returning.
"That's right." Boyin nodded.
There was a small commotion in the conference room.
In fact, before Boyin came back, because they had not yet come up with a solution, some of them suggested withdrawing from the development of Lezein.
Some people believe that Francois's two moves are impeccable for the current Equality Society, and their best way is to temporarily leave Lezein, which can not only ensure the safety of the people of Lezeine, but also reduce the pressure.
Subsequently, we will vigorously develop in response to the shortcomings, wait for opportunities, and return to Lezein when there is a suitable opportunity like the World Expo.
However, Morais did not agree with it at the beginning, and now Boyin is determined to resist. Both backbones want to be tough, so this idea will basically not be realized.
Fortunately, after parting ways with the weak faction headed by Chloe and those who had high hopes for the government, the mainstream voices in the Equality Association still faced off head-on and fought the government to the end. Boyin's words did not surprise them.
It’s even less difficult to accept.
"The problem is indeed very difficult. To be honest, I haven't figured out a solution yet. But it's normal. If I could easily find a solution, it wouldn't be a trap set up by Francis himself." After Boyne came back, he didn't show that he couldn't think of anything before.
Instead of worrying about finding a solution, he looked confident and strategizing, "Actually, I think this is also a good thing. It allows us to recognize the current situation and not be immersed in the small successes of the past and underestimate the difficulty of changing the world. From now on.
Starting today, we should face them as the government faces us."
