Benedick looked solemn and nodded, indicating that what he wrote was true.
Verak took another look at what was written on the crumpled paper [They went to the government, they are from the government], crumpled it into a ball of paper again, and fell into deep thought.
His judgment at night was both right and wrong.
This gang is indeed the only fake organization in Kip City, but they are not a larger gang, but are secretly supported by the government.
"Ha..." Verak sneered.
This move of the government is very clever. Whether it is directed by the higher-ups or people below are seeking their own profits, the birth of the fake organization is a clever plan that can both make money and discredit the Equality Association.
With the government's support behind them, they don't have to fear anything in Kip City.
If he continues to make money and smear his reputation without being discovered by the Equality Council, he will be discovered by the Equality Council and cause the real guys to deal with the counterfeit goods. This will also satisfy their wishes and take the opportunity to arrest him and make meritorious deeds.
Impeccable.
For a while, Verak really didn't know how to deal with the government's rogue conspiracy.
They can still pretend to be citizens to destroy this fake gang. "Smashing it down has never been a problem, but it is difficult to clarify. The government's power to control public opinion is far stronger than that of the Equality Association. When the time comes, they will explain that this is not the real Equality Association.
It's the government's fault. The government can also turn around and say that this is a case of unlimited money-making by the Equality Society, and it will only blame the government when it is discovered.
There may be most people who believe that the Equality Society is innocent, but as long as three or four out of ten people have doubts about the Equality Society, if they have doubts, they will suffer heavy losses in this confrontation.
Stuffing the paper ball into his pocket, Verak looked downstairs at Benedick, who was waiting for his reply.
Benedick hid in the darkness and looked up at each other.
"Alas..." Verak sighed.
He didn't want to see the people become wary of equality, and the efforts of countless comrades who sacrificed their lives and the hard-earned dawn be thrown into the water by shameless people.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Verak returned to the table and wrote a new letter, listing the situation completely, and Benedick handed the letter to Keating.
Now only Keating, who has worked in government for decades, is likely to find the most appropriate response.
And he will continue to stay here and try his best to collect evidence. When it comes time to prove his innocence, his evidence will determine whether more people can see the face of the government clearly and still trust the Equality Association with a sincere heart.
After receiving the letter, Benedick read the contents of the letter, nodded to Verak, indicating to him to protect himself, and then left quickly to report the latest situation to Keating and others and study new countermeasures.
With all his sleep gone, Verak sat at the table and began to think hard.
What kind of evidence is strong enough?
Catch them and let them speak out with their own mouths?
Or should we find the government workers who are in contact with them and publish their shameful bills for everyone to see?
These are useful, but useless.
Even if they arrest this group of pretenders and let them tell the people in person that they are from the government, the government can still argue that equality will give in and threaten them to say so.
Even if they find the bills and let everyone see where the money goes, the government can say it's all faked by equality.
None of what I can think of right now is strong enough to be considered as conclusive evidence that can completely clear away the injustice caused by equality.
When both sides insist on their own opinions and present their own evidence, accusing the other party of planning the whole conspiracy, people who have no means, channels, and no clear position can only choose not to believe it at all, because only in this way will they not be hurt again.
.
What makes Verak even more troublesome is that since it was the government, they could do the same thing in places large and small in Bressy, consuming the credibility of the Equality Association and making a lot of money.
The reputation of the Equality Association has been tarnished in advance in places where the Equality Association has not yet entered. When comrades develop in the past, the resistance they will face will be beyond imagination.
"Huh..." Verak put his head in his hands, frowned, and closed his eyes tightly.
Cut off the foundation of the Equality Society, weaken its development potential, and make a lot of money on the way. You can even use this method to set up a fake Equality Society yourself and plunge the true Equality Society into chaos.
Faced with the government's move that only surfaced today, Verak once again felt powerless just as he had faced difficult problems before.

Lezein, Equality Headquarters, Boyne's Office
"If you have any questions next, please feel free to contact me, and I will deploy any support." Boyin said to Winston on the other end of the phone, "Don't be too stressed yourself, we still have a long way to go."
"I lost my composure the moment I was talking to you." Winston on the other end of the phone quickly calmed down.
He never thought he would cry. Everyone should laugh at such a joyful thing.
However, I heard that Boyin still had full trust in him. He traveled thousands of miles from Pruman to bring him to Bressy, and provided him with the help he could. During this period, he also witnessed the efforts of each Equality comrade.
and sacrifice.
He breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The burden on everyone's shoulders is too heavy.
Everyone is the key to determining whether equality can change the world and whether people can be free and equal.
In the past half month, he has been suffering from insomnia and nightmares, dreaming that the pilot plant failed, dreaming that his several years of hard work were in vain, dreaming that other comrades had completed their corresponding tasks, and he was the only one who excelled.
problems and failed to live up to their expectations.
It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.
Winston was scared to death.
He really wants to contribute to building a new world, and he really wants this group of like-minded people to take fewer detours and make fewer sacrifices.
Enough people have died and the struggle has lasted long enough.
The new world will arrive in the next second.
The new world will arrive in the next second.
Let everyone live a life of equality, freedom, and dignity, let the world no longer have war, exploitation and oppression, let everyone unite as never before, and let us bloom our beauty to the fullest.
Winston couldn't control himself anymore, and his tears seemed to flow endlessly, releasing the emotions he had held back for too long: "We will succeed, and we will win in the end."
"Ahem, yes, I have doubts about many things in my life, but I have never wavered in this matter." Boyin understood Winston's true feelings and patiently comforted him, "
You have helped the world take a giant step forward."
"Thank you, Boyne." Winston wiped his tears, "If you hadn't found me, I would either still be hiding here and there studying theories that I may never know the answer to in my lifetime, or I would have been caught and executed by the guards.
"
"I want to thank you. Since the beginning of the Internationale, you have continuously provided us with strength, and now you are about to solve a major problem in building a new world." Boyin took a sip of water and suppressed his cough.
"I'll get it done, don't worry, Boyne." Winston felt real confidence.
Boyin glanced at Morais sitting next to him: "Of course I'm relieved."
"Are we not far from success?" asked Winston.
"It's right in front of you," Boyin said.
"That's good, good night."
"Good night."
The moment he hung up the phone, Boyin's face changed and he coughed violently, unable to stop himself.
"Take the medicine, quickly!" Morais patted Boyin on the back, gave him the medicine, and poured a glass of warm water.
Boyin put the medicine into his mouth tremblingly and drank up the water with difficulty: "Cough cough cough cough! Cough cough..."
There was only sadness and worry on Morais' face: "I told you, you can't work anymore, you have to go to the hospital for good treatment, otherwise..."
"Hospital? Isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?" Boyin, who looked pale, shook his head.
"Because the hospital in Laize is too dangerous, we will go elsewhere, or go abroad at worst. Now we can let go of everything, except that your illness cannot be delayed, let alone work at such a high intensity!" Morais was very anxious.
, but his persuasion was a little weak, because he had said these words to Boyin a hundred times this week, and Boyin didn't listen at all.
"I know my body well." Boyin came to his senses and leaned on the back of his chair, panting. "And at such a critical moment, ahem, the pilot factory and the school are in full swing, and Bressi will also be involved.
There is such a huge war, how can I leave at this time?"
"If you don't get treatment now, you will fall down sooner or later!"
"Won't you fall down if I go?" Boyin asked back.
Morais and Boyin looked at each other for a few seconds before dodging: "At least it's better than what it is now..."
"I am lying alone in the hospital bed, taking endless medicines, listening to the doctor sighing, and counting the days left to live. Do you think you are better than now?" Boyin was very calm.
Morais said nothing and looked down at the floor.
Boyin tried his best to smile: "And now that I'm gone, ahem, so much work doesn't have to be done by one person again? Doesn't one have to be exhausted to death?"
"What are you talking about!" Morais glared at Boyin. He was now very afraid of Boyin talking about death.
"Haha..." Boyin smiled nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of death, you should know. After all, everyone will leave this world one day, and I have been prepared for this from the moment I joined the Equality Society."
"This isn't—"
"What I'm afraid of is dying worthless." Boyin interrupted Morais, his eyes were calm and powerful, and his voice was still neither high nor low, which made people feel comfortable. "It's like lying on the hospital bed, everything is gone."
If you can’t do it, you can only wait to die.”
"What if? We have created so many miracles. Who says you can't create miracles and get well?" Morais didn't want to believe that Bo's illness could not be cured due to overwork. As a close friend, he could only watch his life go by.
Little by little passes.
Boyne knew that was impossible: "If there is a miracle, I hope to use it for the Equality Society."
"How long have you been, are you still joking?" Morais was angry and anxious.
"It's really nothing. Don't think that I just give up on myself. I won't give up. I will be a fighter in my life." Boyin's smile never disappeared, "I just don't want to be worthless.
I not only want to do my job well here, but also want to see the new world come and live a normal life in such an environment."
"I hope you live well." Morais said.
Boyin laughed loudly: "You have to believe that I think more than you do."

Kip City, Edodo Association Warehouse Temporary Site
Benedick rushed back without stopping, woke up Keating and the sub-station elder Mellen who were resting, handed them Verak's letter, and told a few people what he saw and heard.
.
"Those people who pretend to be equal and deceive are actually arranged by the government?" Old Mellen couldn't believe that the government was actually behind the scenes.
"Unexpected and reasonable." Keating was not too surprised. After reading Verak's letter carefully, he frowned, "If this matter has something to do with the government, it will be very troublesome. Originally it was us
Dealing with a fraud ring that was a minor threat and now the enemy is the government."
"Yes, Comrade Verak was silent for a long time after hearing the news. He probably had no clue, so he asked me to report the situation to you quickly and let you study new countermeasures. He continued to wait for opportunities to collect evidence." Benny.
Dick thought a lot on the way here. The complexity of this matter has exceeded their ability to handle it.
Old Mellen said: "The main problem is that this group of people can't move freely now, right? With the support of the government, it will be difficult for us to clarify. Once it is not handled properly, everyone will think that we are equal and have deceived the people.
their money.”
"It's still not sure whether this is just the behavior of some individuals in the Kip City Government, or whether it is a large-scale action directed by François. It's easier to say that the former is that the situation in Kip City will be resolved in Kip City. As for the latter,
The situation will be very bad." Keating felt that there was a high probability that it would be the latter, but he did not say it explicitly. "If the government does this in a place where equality has not been involved before, the people will be very upset.
Beware of the Equality Association. In the future, we think that establishing sub-stations and expanding development will face obstacles in all aspects. If this happens in places where we already have sub-stations, it will fall into chaos, and people will not be able to confirm who is real and who is real.
It’s fake, and it’s impossible to confirm whether it was fake or real... In short, there will be a gap between us and the people."
After the Equality Society develops, it can still remain peaceful under heavy pressure from the government because it relies on the protection of the people.
People are like the sea, and equality is like fish.
Now the government has given up on being positive and distinguishing between high and low, and wants to destroy the development soil on which the Equality Society relies, causing it to lose its greatest support.
If they don't have appropriate countermeasures and the government succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.
"This is not only about the innocence of the Equality Association. If the people no longer trust and support us, we will lose this fight sooner or later." Keating foresees the consequences of allowing the government to continue doing this. "No matter what, we have to think
We need to end this matter as soon as possible and let the people trust us."
