"Yes, Mr. Chris. Time will prove everything, and we will eventually win." Daniel thought that Verak was talking about the rebel organization.
Verak said "hmm" as if he was wrong.
Verak was not idle during the stroll, and learned more about the current situation of the rebel organization from Daniel.
Although there are thousands of members of the rebel organization, workers and students account for a large proportion. Most of the time what they do is to serve as the mainstay in various demonstrations organized by the organization. People like Chris are willing to sacrifice their lives.
There are only a few powerful people.
This is normal. Few vested interests who already have huge wealth are willing to risk their lives to fight against the existing system and do stupid things that dig their own graves.
Verak, who is now pretending to be Chris and controlling the rebel organization, only admires the work they have done and has never thought about getting involved. He uses the rebel organization just to use their power to help him do some shameful things.
, while sitting on top of this powder keg, preventing the Thomas family from daring to act rashly against them.
Then, taking advantage of his status, he tried his best to amass wealth. After accumulating enough wealth for him to spend his life safely, he escaped from Lezein and even Bressy, and went to live the luxurious life he wanted anywhere.
"Go back." After wandering outside for a while, Verak felt a little bored. He had nothing important to do today, so he might as well go back and study those files more.
"Okay, Mr. Chris." The car turned around and Daniel started to drive back.
"Remember to find the charity gala held in the next few days as soon as possible. I will attend on Sunday night at the latest." Verak reminded him about the charity gala again.
Before he gave the instructions, he had thought about whether to let Chloe organize a fake charity party and donate 10,000 gold grams himself. The money would also add a little strength to the rebel organization, but the idea was just
For a moment, Verak didn't think about it deeply, because even if it was feasible, he was too lazy to bother doing something that would have no impact if he didn't do it.
"Leave it to me, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible." Daniel said.
After returning to the mansion, Daniel left. Verak didn't see Fletcher, so he didn't make a special trip to say hello to him. He went directly back to the bedroom and took out the member sacrifice and betrayal list that Chloe gave him last night, and the list of members in the file bag.
list and compare them.
After comparing it, Verak was a little frightened.
He had already asked Chloe about the impact of this incident, but Chloe showed restraint, which made him think that the trauma of the rebel organization was not great. Now he compared it and found that the number of betrayers was only twelve, but nearly two people were injured.
The death of hundreds of organization members!
The Republic of Bressi is one of the only three countries in the world that does not have the death penalty, so the government's attitude towards these non-important members is that 'because the rebels resisted desperately, we can only kill them on the spot'
He said that he would be killed openly and honestly.
Only a leader like Chris would want to arrest first, interrogate the whereabouts of other people, and then wipe out the organization. Obviously Chris also knew what would happen if he was caught, so in that incident
Here, he chose to destroy his identity information and shot himself.
Through the information that all ordinary members were killed and core members committed suicide before being captured, Verak deduced the attitude of some governments towards the rebel organization.
The government was ruthless and cruel, but Verak was relieved.
At the very least, if he was very unfortunate and was caught before taking the money and running away, he would not be shot dead on the spot like others, but would be arrested and spared death because of his special status.
As long as he doesn't die, there is hope, so Verak can accept the worst situation.
After updating the member information, the number of people who had casual connections with Chris dropped sharply to more than a hundred, and the number of people who had deeper connections dropped from seventeen to six.
Looking at several pages of crossed-out names, Verak sighed and thought to himself: There will be no good end to the revolution.
Then, he specifically searched for Daniel's information and found that he was not on the list.
Indeed, as he expected, Daniel was a new member and had not had time to update the list.
Thinking of Daniel's innocent and hearty smile and enthusiastic and progressive attitude, Verak sincerely hoped that this young man, as well as the constant supply of new blood coming in, would have a good future.
Putting the list away, Verak once again took out "The Theory of Equality" that Chris had not finished.
This book seemed to have a magical power. While it answered Verak's questions, it also created more doubts for him, attracting him and he could only read on.
Verak turned to the second chapter, 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity'.
[The Bresci Revolution that happened fifty years ago appropriately summarized politics into these three words: freedom, equality, fraternity... Why use these three words? Why not less or more? There is a profound meaning in this
The truth. All actions in a person's life are three in one, which means that perception, emotion, and knowledge coexist at the same time... (Note: 1)]
In the second chapter, Chris no longer limits the content to equality, but broadens it to what he calls the three aspects of human nature, and once again deepens understanding through these three indispensable natures.
[In the past, people only knew how to shout freedom during their revolutions, and it was a long time before they began to preach fraternity. What does it matter? What is the use of me saying this? The question is to understand whether freedom itself is not without flaws.
, is fraternity itself not without flaws... While we demand freedom due to the needs of life, while accepting fraternity in our hearts, shouldn't our wisdom declare equality?... The end of this slogan
One word adapts to the needs of human beings for self-understanding, just as the other two words adapt to the other two aspects of our lives, namely the need for action and the need for love. (Note: 2)]
It took a long time, and it was already noon after I finished reading.
Verak put away "The Theory of Equality" and went to the bathroom to wash his face and wake himself up.
After reading the second chapter, he became a little wary of Chris and this book. With his knowledge base and level of insight, it was difficult to judge whether what Chris said was correct, so when reading, he had the question whether he should agree or not.
The questioning sense of ambivalence.
His purpose of reading this book was just to understand the situation of the rebel organization so that he could talk to Chloe and other core members without showing any timidity. But now the purpose of reading the book seemed to be more than that. He had many questions and wanted to learn from the book.
To get the answer from the book, and to get the answer from the book, the premise is that he needs to agree with the content inside.
"Can't watch it."
Verak thought to himself.
He admitted that Chris is a powerful person, and what he wrote shakes his knowledge. If he continues to read it, he may be like Daniel, sinking into an abyss with no hope.
