Now he has repeatedly narrowed down the range of suspected factories, leaving only seven factories that are either strong or poorly managed, and are all engaged in weaving, printing and dyeing.
How to confirm again in the future?
You can't really wait for the other party to take action again. Firstly, it will make you very incompetent. Secondly, if the other party still doesn't miss any clues when he makes another move, is it difficult to continue waiting?
"Testing..." He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, muttering two words.
The remaining seven factories are all factories that are currently or may have conflicts of interest with the Nak Weaving Factory in the future, so they are the suspects who are most motivated to cause sabotage.
Verak had a vague feeling that he could test these seven parties, test their reactions through the tests, and then use the reactions to determine who planned the beating of the workers.
The question is how to test?
Just as Verak was struggling to advance, someone called him.
"Hello?" Verak came to the desk and picked up the phone.
"Comrade Mellen has told me everything. How is the situation over there now?" Keating's voice came from the other end.
Hearing Keating's inquiry, Verak's anxious mood calmed down a little: "We have assigned work. Winston, Andre, and Benedick are responsible for preparing for possible emergencies, and I am responsible for investigating and instructing."
”
Keating said: "I don't think this matter was done by the government. First, if they suspected you, they wouldn't conduct such a reckless test. Second, if they suspected you, they should have discovered your identity. Then there would be no
It is necessary to do unnecessary testing. There are people at the third branch who have been keeping an eye on the government's movements. We should be aware of anything they do in advance."
"That's what I thought too." Verak and Keating had the same idea, but he didn't consider it more thoughtfully than Keating.
"After excluding the government building as the biggest hidden danger, the only ones who have the motive to attack your factory workers are those factories that are also engaged in textile printing and dyeing." Keating continued his analysis.
"That's right, I have now narrowed down the suspects to seven weaving factories, and I am now thinking about how to test their reactions." Verak laughed as he spoke.
He was taught by Keating, so the way the two think about problems is very similar, and their analysis of this situation is exactly the same.
"This method is good, but there are many issues to consider. For example, how to conduct testing, how to implement it specifically, and how to prevent them from doubting the testing?" Keating approved of Verak's idea.
"Yes, but I don't have more detailed ideas yet..." Receiving Keating's affirmation gave Verak a lot of confidence, and he habitually asked Keating for advice.
Keating smiled and said: "This depends on your courage."
"Courage?" Verak didn't understand the connection between temptation and courage.
"They sent people to beat our workers. This is because they are bold and have no bottom line. If you want to cause an effective counterattack against the other party, you must be bold and have no bottom line." Keating said, "Don't constrain your thinking and go as you please.
Think of any means. As long as there are no constraints from these two points, many methods are feasible."
Courageous.
There is no bottom line.
Verak felt a little enlightened. The other party had already done this, and he still worried about doing this and that.
"Then just arrest all the factory owners of these seven factories and torture them." Verak said, "With a stick, everyone who needs to be attacked will be attacked. In the future, knowing how powerful we are, they will probably not dare to cause trouble again."
"You are so courageous, haha..." Keating did not deny this outrageous behavior, but just smiled, "Actually, you haven't even shown your muscles before going there, so naturally there will be people who don't know the truth and want to test you.
.”
"Do you really think it's feasible for me to arrest them all and beat them up?" A few seconds after Verak came up with this idea, he began to feel a little guilty, wondering if it would be too exaggerated to go to this point.
"I will support you in whatever you do." Keating, as always, did not point out the way forward clearly, destroying Verak's ability to think independently.
Except for the initial period of their acquaintance, Keating instilled many of his own opinions into Verak in order to help him learn to think. From then on, Keating paid special attention to listening to Verak's opinions, reducing his own output and reducing Verak's dependence on him.
It can be said that Keating did not want Verak to become his second self, so he did not stand in front of Verak, guiding him and becoming his ceiling, but stood silently behind him, pushing hard.
He moves forward.
"I'm worried that this will cause a big problem? Originally, they just sent people to sabotage secretly, but now they have openly revealed their face. If things get out of control and the factory test is sabotaged, all our efforts this month will be in vain.
." With such an important matter as the pilot plant on his shoulders, Verak always felt like he couldn't let go.
"Then it depends on your assessment of the dangers in the two directions. Do you think it is more dangerous to continue wrangling and raising the hidden dangers step by step, or do you think it is more dangerous to bring them over and beat them up to let them know how powerful we are, and then talk to them
Is cooperation dangerous?" Keating broke the question into smaller pieces and threw it back to Verak.
Verak pondered.
If the current situation continues, the other party will definitely take action. It is indeed very dangerous to have one or several factories watching the Nak Weaving Factory in the dark, and if the other party investigates and finds out his identity, then
The problem is huge.
If you give the other party a beating directly and let the other party know that they have a deep background and are not to be trifled with, put everything on the bright side, and then try to cooperate for a win-win situation, the risk is too high, but at the same time it can eliminate the trouble and make them want to talk about it later.
The cooperation was also solved.
"Tie up these people, but it won't be ugly if you don't do anything..." Verak was moved.
The reason for the excitement is that this can achieve the goal and is much simpler to do.
"Yeah." Keating supported Verak's decision.
"What if you are caught and find out that they were not the ones who did it? Now, although logically it is only possible for them, it is not absolute."
"Then it depends on how you use your words flexibly. What kind of questions can you ask the other party while still allowing room for maneuver when the other party is not the messenger. As long as you can do this, even if they are not the messenger, you can
We can also continue to talk about cooperation. Bundling them together to form a larger community of interests will be beneficial to the safety of Nak Weaving Factory and the implementation of the new system." Keating answered.
"Yes... Then I will try to do this." Verak only secretly instigated the third party to cause trouble. When he came up, he tied up the other factory owner and beat him and kicked him. "You are going to the warehouse next."
Side?"
Keating was not going to go to the warehouse to stand by temporarily because of this matter: "I'm calling you just to tell you that the situation is not so serious that it needs to be reported to Boyin, and it's not serious enough for us to go there. At most.
Transfer some manpower to the sub-station and the matter will be solved as it should be."
"Understood." Verak's thinking was clear and he knew what to do.
"Remember, factory owners are the easiest people to deal with. We have both powerful force and win-win means. It's easy to control these factories." Keating didn't take these people seriously.
inside.
Verak guessed that Keating felt that they were making a fuss out of a molehill, and the information from a behind-the-scenes instigator scared them into confusion, and they suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I actually had some thoughts before, thinking that this might happen in other places in the future.
In this situation, we cannot always use violence to solve the problem. So I want to try to avoid this approach and find a common countermeasure."
"Using violence to fight violence is a universal countermeasure. Failure to use violence to fight violence only means that you are not violent enough. Of course, not all factories have our methods, and this is not the only way to solve problems, but as long as we can
Using this method to deal with the troublemakers first opens up the situation, so they don't have to go through these things in the future," Keating said.
"Yes, this kind of problem occurs now. In the final analysis, people don't understand the new system enough and think that we will encroach on their interests. We can solve these problems now and prove the superiority of the new system and prove that the new system is better than any previous one."
All models must make money, and no one will be so full that conflicts will break out over this in the future." Verak no longer worries about that.
"Just go ahead and do it."
"Understood, teacher."
After hanging up the phone, Verak took a deep breath, then strode out and came to the office where Winston, Andre, and Benedick were.
"Verac? What's wrong?" It had only been half an hour since Verac left. Winston didn't know if he had come up with a solution or if something happened again.
"I discussed with Mr. Keating on the phone and decided to arrest all seven suspected factory owners directly." Verak explained his thoughts after entering the door.
The other three people were all stunned, and looked at each other in confusion, using eye contact to try to confirm whether each other heard correctly.
"Catch, arrest?" Winston's head was getting big.
"That's right, I need to mobilize the manpower from the sub-station from Benedict and take seven of them directly to the Nack Weaving Factory for interrogation. If necessary, I can add torture. After solving the problem, I will talk to them by the way.
Let’s talk about follow-up cooperation together, so that the troublemaking problem is solved and win-win cooperation to promote the new system can be carried out simultaneously.”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Hearing these words made Benedick tremble with fear. "They ordered gangsters to beat our workers. This is indeed very serious, but do we need to directly arrest and torture all the suspected factory owners? Such a thing
Wouldn't it make the trouble even bigger? And if the instigator is not one of them, how will this matter end?"
"I weighed the feasibility and risk of slowly fighting a tug-of-war with them and solving the problem all at once, and finally decided to solve it all at once. Bringing them over and putting everything on the table will ensure efficiency.
It's dozens of times more powerful than a secret fight. And it doesn't necessarily involve torture. It's just us showing our muscles and telling them about Nakweaver.
The factory is not a means they can provoke. If they admit it happily, things will be much simpler. As for how it will end if there is no instigator among them, Teacher Keating and I have also considered this, so we will skip the interrogation and directly
Talk about cooperation..." Verak explained his thoughts about the conversation with Keating one by one to clear up the doubts of several people.
Hearing that every action was done for a reason, and that the resourceful Keating also participated and approved the plan, Winston, Andre, and Benedick, who were extremely resistant at first, began to think deeply.
After a long while, Andre said: "I agree with the idea of showing muscles. We don't need to let them know that we are an equal society that dares to fight with the government, but it is necessary to tell them that we are very powerful and that all kinds of little ideas can be used."
Collect it."
"Solving it on the surface, and then giving them a slap in the face and giving them a date does sound more feasible than the current consumption, but the specific implementation will be very complicated and troublesome. How to catch them? How to talk about it after they are caught?" Winston
Taking into account the same concerns as Verak, that is, the troubled factory
It is found that the current situation cannot effectively damage the Nack Weaving Factory. Once other investigations are conducted and the identity of Verak and the connection with the Equality Society are found out, it will be terrible. If these can be eliminated, the solution can be solved cleanly.
By promoting cooperation, risks can be minimized.
"I need Benedick's help when it comes to arresting people. As for how to talk about it, Teacher Keating has given me ideas, so there should be no problem." Specific countermeasures gradually took shape in Verak's mind.
"It's not difficult to arrest people... but the question is how long will it take? If the factory owner disappears, it will cause a lot of trouble. You have to consider this," Benedick said.
"Let him go within two hours." Interrogation and negotiation would not take long, so Verak estimated the time and gave the time.
"Two hours shouldn't be a big problem. As long as you can solve the problem in the end, you can reach cooperation with them regardless of whether they are the instigators." Benedick felt that the key actually lies with Verak.
"Then I'll leave the arrest to you." Verak looked at Winston and Andre, "I need your help too."
Andre said: "But we are preparing for precautions."
"I think we can let go of the precautionary matters. If we can solve all the problems tonight, those will be unnecessary things." Verak has reduced the possibility of the government being involved to a minimum, so the top priority now is
The only important thing is arresting people.
"Are you going to arrest people tonight?" Benedick grasped the details of the time.
"Of course, the sooner the better." In Verak's eyes, things that can be done now will never be postponed. "Andre, I need you to arrange a venue, prepare enough airtight rooms, and do some watching.
The scary instruments of torture will at least serve as a deterrent. Winston, I need you to prepare a cooperation proposal before tonight. This matter will determine whether the conflict can be completely settled."
