"You want us to provide support in many aspects, right? For example, in terms of weapons, personnel, money, experience, etc." Morais always speaks straightforwardly, unlike others who beat around the bush and speculate for a long time, "We will take care of it.
The cadres unanimously believe that as long as they are the people and the proletariat who are oppressed by the powerful and the bourgeoisie, we will provide unconditional help and unite everyone to jointly build a new world of equality and freedom."
"That's good." Weikenji and August felt relieved.
The Equality Society has reached the point of taking control of the corps. With their support behind them, the situation in Winterhold will inevitably reverse.
"But before providing support, I want to ask the most important question. Is it you who Bash needs help, or the oppressed people?" Morais then asked a question.
"Wha...what? Aren't we the same as the oppressed people?" August was stunned.
Weikenji roughly understood what Morais wanted to express: "There is still a difference. Our greater identity now is that of revolutionaries, not workers. What Mr. Morais really wants to ask is that it is the revolutionaries who need help."
It’s still the people, right?”
"Yes." Morais nodded slightly.
"There is no doubt that the people who really need help are the people. We are just people who spontaneously emerge from the people and want to save themselves. To put it bluntly, we are rushing to help the people." Weikenji said.
"Then I actually have a better proposal." Morais revealed his thoughts, "Instead of providing support to you, you might as well join the Equality Society."
This suggestion made Vicken and August stunned on the spot.
They came here to seek support from the Equality Society. Why did the Equality Society extend an olive branch to them instead?
"this……"
"The Equality Society itself wants to liberate the whole world, so we will not be limited to Bressy - this is why we have a sub-station in Bash. In fact, not only in Bash, we have established nearly three sub-stations around the world.
We have more than 50,000 formal members and more than 200,000 reserve members. It can be said that we are the most influential company today.
It is the most powerful revolutionary force that has the most hope of changing the world." Morais did not elaborate on the current strength of the Equality Society, "And the Bash branch is integrated with you, and the revolutionary comrades are twisted into a rope to jointly spread the ideological and resolute
Struggle can gradually change the way of survival that people in that vast land have been forced to persist for a long time..."
"There is no doubt about it. It is our honor to be a member of the Equality Society. The Equality Society can fight side by side with us. Helping people fight for their rights in Bash must be much better than fighting alone." After the shock, Wei Wei
Ken Ji briefly thought about it and realized that no matter which party, joining the Equality Society to fight together would be more cost-effective and efficient than the Equality Society only providing support to them, "But the two of us are not qualified to decide this matter.
"
The fact that Weikenji was willing to join the Equality Society was within Morais' expectation.
In fact, if the Equality Society was not constantly rumored to be wiped out in Bash, and if this group of people knew that there was a branch of the Equality Society in Bash, it is estimated that they would not have become the Workers' Mutual Aid Association on their own, but would directly join the Equality Society.
After all, a powerful organization that is willing to help them and pursues equality and freedom is right around the corner. There is no need to bypass them and start from scratch.
"Does it still need your leader to make the decision?" Morais asked.
"Yes, Vladislav is our backbone. As long as he agrees, everyone will definitely be willing to join the Equality Society," said Vikenj.
"Our comrades from the Bash sub-station are heading to Winterfort to contact him. I came to you to see what your opinions are first, for fear that you may have some resistance to equality." Morais revealed some of Bash's movements.
Weikenji and August laughed together: "How could we resist the Equality Society? It's not even late to welcome us!"
"That's good." Morais smiled back, "The main reason for coming here today is for this matter. Of course, this is not forced. We respect your opinions very much. If you don't want to, we will still provide support and try to pass it.
Other forms of cooperation to fight together in Bash."
"I believe that Vladislav is as willing to join the Equality Society as we are and to fight side by side with more revolutionaries." August wished for it.
"Comrade is the honorific title we give to revolutionaries along the way. From now on, you can call me Comrade Morais, and I will call you Comrade Vikenj and Comrade August." Morais is not used to being called sir now.
Try to let the two people learn to treat each other as comrades.
"Okay, Comrade Morais."
"Comrade Morais, Comrade Clark."
After understanding the attitudes of the two people and having some idea of the situation when he contacted Vladislav, Morais's task was completed: "Then you can continue to rest, I will handle the work, and if you have anything, please feel free to contact Clark.
Comrade, he lives next door to you."
"Okay, okay."
"Goodbye, Comrade Morais."
"goodbye."
Morais and Clark left the room.
"Huh... I feel like I'm dreaming... What happened since yesterday is completely beyond my imagination..." August was still trying to accept the invitation to the Equality Society.
"It's normal when you think about it. If it were me, I would try to directly bring people in to work together." Weikenji accepted it quickly because he had straightened out the logic.
August came to the window and looked out at the main station of the Equality Society: "Yesterday, when I heard them talking about how powerful the Equality Society is now, I was thinking about when we could develop like them. Don't think about it now. Join us.
Once you enter, everything will come true.”
"Anyway, it looks like we are not in a hurry to leave. We will stay here for a while, get in touch with new things, and take advantage of this opportunity to study hard." Weikenji held up the book again.
"That's right. If we talk about joining the Equality Association, it will take a long time. And if there is an Equality Association branch over there, the problem should be solved. The two of us are not in a hurry. We can stay here and experience it more."
Gust sat back in his chair, reopened the "Women's Manifesto" that he had not had time to read just now, and read the words on the title page, "Women have the right to climb the scaffolding, and they also have the right to be on the Tribune."
Weikenji, who was concentrating on reading, just wanted to remind August to just read silently, but he was attracted by this passage: "When I heard this sentence again, I still felt like I had an enlightenment."
"How do you say that?" August asked as he turned to the next page.
"I just feel that women's rights have been ignored. By ignoring them, I thought about whether those people who are above us ignore our rights with ease...I found that we need to recognize others as well as ourselves.
." Weikenji said with emotion.
"Keep reading, keep reading." August was really interested and read the content carefully.
Thinking that yesterday the two of them had worn their feet all over Lezein in order to find the Equality Society to save money, and now they were already staying at the Equality Society headquarters, accepting invitations, and reading books about avant-garde ideas. I was in a trance, feeling like I was in a dream as August said: "...keep watching."
——
lezein, government building, presidential office
Major General Joseph, the new commander of the independent mixed division garrisoned in Lezein, received Francois's order after the morning meeting and came for a confidential discussion.
"Your Excellency." Joseph, dressed in a straight military uniform, saluted Francois who was sitting on the luxurious sofa in the living room.
"Come and sit down." Francois still looked approachable and asked Joseph to sit next to him.
Joseph came to the sofa next to him and sat down, waiting quietly for Francois to say something.
"It seems that Lezeinli hasn't heard any news about the Equality Association recently? What's going on?" Francois asked about the garrison situation of the independent mixed division.
"Recently, the troops have been patrolling according to my new patrol policy, and the security in the city has been significantly improved."
"Oh? What new patrol policy have you formulated that can be so effective?" Francois was curious about what changes Joseph had made that were different from the previous Pisel, which could make Lezein so peaceful in an instant.
"General Pisel used small teams to patrol in fixed areas. This reduced manpower consumption and facilitated management, but it also caused some omissions. For example, there were always gaps between patrol teams for equality to sneak in. I made The most recent change is to have the teams originally responsible for patrol give up patrolling, and each guard a street intersection. Unless they hear the secret order whistle, they will never move even if there is gunshots nearby. This will seal off each block. Once there is equality, If they want to escape, they must break through the soldiers on duty at the street entrances. And breaking through takes time. At this time, the cavalry team with the authority to move freely throughout the city rushes over and they can catch them all." Joseph explained his new plan. way.
On the surface, this method was a large-scale change, and the Equality Association acted in a low-key manner, as if it really had an effect. In fact, it made it easier for the Equality Association to move. They obtained the cavalry pass and disguised themselves as cavalry at night. The team can maneuver quickly and unobstructedly within the city.
"That sounds interesting." Francois took a sip of wine.
"At first, we used the new tactics to capture several members of the Equality Association. Later, they no longer dared to show up, and the city was basically stable. It is not cost-effective to use an independent mixed division to hold down this group of rebel groups. We cannot remain passive like this."
"I don't want to be passive, but it's been almost three years since this group of people emerged, and we have tried almost every method, but still can't eradicate them..." I watched helplessly as the Equality Society only led people to march in the past to now being able to fight head-on with them. , Francois regretted how he wished he could go back to three years ago and kill this group of people from the beginning.
"Don't worry, I am currently preparing a new plan. When the time comes, I will pick them out one by one and wipe them out completely." Joseph assured Francois.
Francois put down his wine glass and smiled: "I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about this. The conflict between Bash and Willan has reached its peak, and a war may suddenly start every day. By then we will also An army will be dispatched to assist Welland in fighting, and I'm worried that Equality will take advantage of this time to resume activities in Lezeinli. If you can think of a way to wipe them out, or even just suppress them during this period, Even if it relieves my biggest anxiety."
"As long as I am here and the independent mixer is here, no matter what happens outside, the Equality Association will not be able to cause the slightest disturbance." Joseph hesitated at this moment, wondering whether he should use Francois to recognize him more
At the time, he mentioned that he would also include the two guard regiments under his command.
But considering Francois's cautious and suspicious character, he still let go of completely controlling Lezein.
"With your words, I feel relieved. If you need support, just tell me. As long as I can destroy the Equality Society, I will satisfy any request you have." The next second, Francois took the initiative to propose.
Joseph, who had just suppressed the thought, felt a little moved again.
The world situation is just as Francois said, the war between Bash and Welland is on the verge of breaking out, and the two factions behind them are also ready to make a move.
It would be best to control the two guard regiments as soon as possible and completely isolate Francois.
"I feel... maybe there won't be enough manpower." After thinking over and over again, Joseph vaguely proposed the idea of expanding, "But the plan has not been officially released yet, and it is still unknown whether there will be enough manpower."
"This is not a problem. If the independent mixed division is not enough, there are still two guard regiments. If the two guard regiments are not enough, we need to redeploy them." Francois waved his hand.
"If there is really a gap, two guard regiments are enough." Joseph followed.
"Okay, if necessary at that time, I will let the two guard regiments cooperate with you." Francois said 'cooperate', not for him to 'dispatch', which made it clear that Joseph would not be allowed to stay in Lezein.
When he is in a big position, he will grasp this important balancing force.
"If there is no problem with manpower, there should be no problem with this matter." Joseph felt disappointed, but he answered simply, leaving no trace of dissatisfaction or desire for the two guard regiments in front of Francois.
Francois was very satisfied with everything about Joseph, but his inability to find fault made him feel a little afraid and vigilant: "Then I will wait for your good news."
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the President." Joseph said.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go and take care of the official business. Get rid of the Equality Society, which is a serious problem of mine, as soon as possible." Francois still had urgent matters to deal with. After arranging for Joseph to continue to take precautions and eliminate the Equality Society, he asked
Go and do your own thing.
"Understood." Joseph didn't hesitate, immediately stood up and saluted, then left the office, left the government building and got into the car.
"How is it?" Adel, who was also sitting in the car, asked.
Joseph sighed, his expression unchanged: "Francois is still wary of others and is unwilling to easily let go of all the cards in his hand."
Adel glanced at the government building next to him: "It's getting late. If he doesn't move, we'll force him to move like we did before."
