"Comrade Morais, Comrade Verac." Joseph, who walked out of the government building, looked at the large group of comrades from the Equality Association who were coming here.
Morais and Verak, who were walking at the front, quickly came to Joseph: "How is it inside?"
Joseph nodded slightly: "Everyone is under control, Francois and a group of ministers are still kept in the dark, and are put under house arrest by Brian."
"Then you can inform Boyin that they are leaving. When he comes, we will be ready for everything we need to prepare." Verak said.
"Well, let's go in first." Morais couldn't wait to lead his comrades into the government building openly and officially take over the power to change the world from those powerful people.

at the same time
on a street
Children in small groups ran to a wall either holding large rolled-up posters or glue, and helped each other spread out the posters and pasted them on the wall covered with glue.
The brochure was very big, and the children were chattering and excited, which inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by.
They looked at the propaganda newspaper and saw a line of eye-catching large characters at the top: Equality Society/International Equality Alliance Proclamation
The Equality Association’s brochure?!
Are these kids crazy! How dare they promote the Equality Society on the street in broad daylight! If soldiers on patrol see this, why don’t they all be arrested?!
"Hurry up!" A pedestrian reminded the children, but for fear of being noticed by others, he quickly left with his hand on the brim of his hat.
"The Equality Association will liberate Laizein today! It'll be okay!" the child shouted back to the well-wishers, and then went on to post other propaganda posters.
Will equality liberate Lai Zein?
Where is this?
Everyone who heard the child's words was stunned for a moment.
Before they could delve into the meaning of this sentence and further inquire about the situation from the children who posted the poster, a cavalry patrol suddenly appeared at the street corner.
"Children! Come on! The patrol is coming!"
"Stop posting! You will be arrested! Run in the opposite direction!"
"Hurry up! The patrol shouldn't have seen you yet! There's still a chance!"
The patrol was coming soon, and more and more enthusiastic people urged the children to leave, but the children remained unmoved and stubbornly applied glue and pasted posters.
"Whose child is this? Why are the parents so careless..." The proprietress of the shop opposite couldn't bear to see these immature children being taken away by the government. She ignored her husband's obstruction and rushed over, grabbing one child by the clothes with each hand.
He led them and dragged them to hide in the store.
"You are crazy! We will all be arrested!" The boss stood at the door not knowing whether to answer his wife or throw away the children.
"Stop talking nonsense! Go and drag those children over!" The landlady said with great strength, she had already dragged the two children to the middle of the road.
"That's crazy!" The boss was so angry that he ran over and grabbed the other children.
"stop."
At this time, a neither high nor low voice came from their side.
The landlady and the boss stopped for a moment and turned to look.
Beside them, a cavalry patrol was approaching, and the leader of the group was riding a horse, looking down at them.
"We, we..." The boss subconsciously let go of the children, wanting to distance himself from them.
The proprietress made a completely different choice. She held the two children tightly in her arms and said with an apologetic smile: "The children are ignorant and run around on the street. We will strictly discipline them."
The leading officer did not keep looking at each other up and down. He turned over and dismounted and glanced at the two Equality Association propaganda newspapers posted on the wall a few meters away, with a look that had seen through the boss's wife's tricks.
Other pedestrians were afraid of being implicated, so they either trotted away or hid from a distance to watch the situation.
"Are you from the Propaganda Department of the Equality Association?" The officer looked at the children.
"Yes! We are members of the Propaganda Department of the Equality Association!" the children said proudly.
The landlady quickly covered their mouths and explained with an apologetic smile: "They are joking. They are all good children. How could it have anything to do with equality?"
"Yes, yes, these children are naughty and are disturbing your patrol..." The boss, sweating profusely, agreed with his wife.
"Hello." The officer paid no attention to their excuses and extended his hand to the children, "I am a former first class private in the Cavalry Regiment of the Independent Mixed Division and now Second Lieutenant Calvin of the Cavalry Division of the First Army of the Equality Alliance."
"Ping, the First Army of the Equality Alliance?" The boss, who thought he was going to lose his life, vaguely felt that this name had something to do with Equality.
"Hello!" The children rushed to shake hands with Second Lieutenant Calvin.
Second Lieutenant Calvin saw the landlady and the boss looking confused, and explained with a smile: "The International Equality Alliance, also known as the Equality Society, will liberate Laize today, and we are all members of it, so don't worry, we won't hurt you.
"
"What?!" The landlady looked at her husband in disbelief, wanting to confirm if she heard correctly, but as soon as she saw her husband's stunned expression, she knew that the officer had indeed said that he was from the Equality Society.
Moreover, the Equality Association will liberate Lai Zein today, "Are you all members of the Equality Association? The Equality Association will liberate Lai Zein today?!"
"Yes." Second Lieutenant Calvin nodded solemnly, "At this time, the government building is probably also controlled by the comrades, and the liberation work in other places is also in progress."
The boss had a vague feeling: "Ping, why did the Equality Association come to be, how did Zein become liberated, how did you become members of the Equality Association, what is going on..."
"I believe that everyone has many questions, not only how we planned the liberation, but also what impact it will have on your lives. You can get answers to these in the posters posted by these young comrades."
Second Lieutenant Calvin said and touched a child's head, "Have you finished pasting everything?"
"Not yet, I just posted two." The child wanted to say that these kind people thought they would be in danger and delayed their progress by pulling them, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
"Let's help you post the posters." Second Lieutenant Calvin waved to the patrol behind him, "Get off your horse! Help the little comrades post the posters!"
"Yes!" The soldiers on the patrol dismounted and lined up. Under the command of Second Lieutenant Calvin, they took the tools from the children's hands and went to the wall to post propaganda leaflets and communiqués.
The people who had just hidden away now stood in the corner, dumbfounded.
Some people rubbed their eyes and thought they were dazzled, while others covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.
How could that happen?!
Not only did the patrol team not arrest these children and the kind-hearted store proprietress and boss, they also stepped forward to help post the Equality Association's stuff?!
This is a scene that I would never dare to dream about!
"It can't be true, can it?" someone said to himself.
"What is real or fake?" someone asked.
"The kid who posted the newspaper just now said that the Equality Society is going to liberate Laizein today. These independent editors are helping to post the newspaper. Maybe things will really change..."
"It's impossible... Why haven't I received any news about such a big thing?"
"Who do you think you are? You are allowed to know such a confidential matter of the Equality Association? If you know it, how can the government not know it? If the government knows it in advance, can we still be liberated?"
"But those children all know..."
"Didn't you see someone holding a painting and talking and laughing with the officer? Those are all members of the Equality Association. I know it's normal."
"Okay, okay, don't say we don't have these anymore, I think we should go home quickly and stock up on some food! I don't know how messy it will be in the future!"
"You're right! Equality would be good, but it doesn't necessarily lead to true liberation. Let's go back and prepare for evacuation!"
For a time, the people who heard the news were both happy and worried, and Laize inevitably became turbulent.
Having been well prepared, comrades from the Equality Association and soldiers from the Independent Mixed Division all over the country took to the streets and began to explain the situation to the people, calming their emotions.
The Central Bank of Brescia immediately posted an announcement, officially providing the public with the service of exchanging gold grams, silver grams, and copper grams for coins of equal value.
The agricultural product trading and processing company acquired by the Equality Association also came forward to sell grain. The price of grain was lower than the current market price, maintaining the price before the outbreak of the war.
The guards of the Guard Corps looked confused when they saw that the flags of the Equality Society were planted on hospitals, schools, and public facilities in a short period of time. Then they were ordered by people from the independent mixed division to maintain law and order in the city.
Ensure the normal operation of important facilities such as hospitals, power stations, and water supply stations.
In front of each entrance and exit of Lai Zeyin, people quickly gathered with large boxes and small bags wanting to leave.
Most of them were dignitaries. After they heard the news, they knew very well that once the Equality Society took control of Laize, they would not let them go, so they wanted to leave as soon as possible.
It's just that they didn't know that when Laizeyin suddenly fell, nearly a hundred branches of the Equality Association in China also launched operations before other places got the news.
Some organized people to hold large-scale demonstrations, and some even captured the city hall.
After careful organization and planning, a huge revolution covering the whole country of Brescia officially started.
In this vast land, there must be no place for the rich and powerful who are accustomed to oppressing others to survive.

Lezein, West End, Thomas Family Mansion
"Mr. Carmine! Hurry up and pack your luggage! There are people from the Equality Association and cheering people outside now! If we don't leave, it will be too late!" The newly appointed butler advised Carmine, who was motionless in the study.
Carmine, whose hair has turned white in just one year and looks as old as a teenager, can hear the loud shouts outside while sitting in the study: "Madam, Kellerman, Julia, have they all packed up...
"
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Your things have been packed and the car is outside!"
"Crack."
Carmine lit the cigar calmly: "Whew..."
"Mr. Carmine!" the butler stamped his feet anxiously.
"Why are you still sitting here!" Before Carmine could come out of the study, Mrs. Mela pushed aside the housekeeper blocking the door, broke into the study, and shouted, "I want to wait to be liquidated by the Equality Society.
What!"
"Father! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" Kellerman and Julia also walked into the room quickly.
"Huh..." The calm Carmine exhaled a puff of smoke in the face of everyone's eagerness, "We probably won't be able to leave."
"Why?" Mrs. Mela was puzzled.
"The Equality Society has obviously made thorough preparations for today's action. Do you think they wouldn't expect that someone would want to escape, so they would send people to block all exits in advance?" Carmine snorted disdainfully, "Those...
I heard that the Equality Society captured the government building, formed independent mixed divisions, and the Guards Corps mutinied one after another. Anyone who tries to escape regardless of taking money is a fool."
Kellerman was so anxious that he cried: "What about father? Are we going to be caught and executed?"
In historical riots, powerful people like them would be taken as targets and executed. Mrs. Mela couldn't help but feel her legs weaken and her brain became dizzy when she thought of the scene of their whole family being beheaded.
"I don't know either." Carmine looked at the butler, "Put all the things back, how to live and continue to live, and wait to see the follow-up arrangements of the Equality Council."
"...Yes." Carmine's calmness made the butler's panic recede a bit.
"Father..." At a young age, Julia had never seen such a scene. Even what Verak did when he pretended to be her brother a year ago did not make her feel so unsure about her family.
"Haha..." Unlike his family, who were heartbroken, Carmine actually laughed while holding his cigar between his fingers.
"You..." Mrs. Mela, who could barely hold herself steady, didn't understand what Carmine was convulsing about, but when she followed Carmine's gaze and saw the portrait of Chris in the study, she understood a little bit.
When Carmine looked at his son for the first time, his eyes were full of approval: "Son, is this what you want to achieve at the expense of your life..."
Mrs. Mela, Kellerman, and Julia stared blankly at Carmine who was talking to the deceased Chris.
"Perhaps, you really are more accomplished than I expected." At this moment, Carmine no longer cared about the impact that equality would have on the Thomas family. He gained a belated sense of satisfaction and respect for the Thomas family.
The child's approval, "Honey, even if we can leave, why should we leave? Wouldn't it be better to stay here and appreciate Chris's masterpiece?"

A bustling government building
Several cars, with a large number of cavalry maintaining order, stopped in front of the gate of the government building.
The leading car driver got out of the car first, opened the rear door, and helped Boyin, who was dressed in formal clothes, to come out slowly.
The moment he came out, he was almost surrounded by water, and the people who wanted to witness this historical moment burst into cheers that seemed to resound throughout the world.
"Is that Boyin, the president of the Equality Society?!"
"That's right! That is Boyin, the president of the Equality Society!"
"Long live Boyne! Long live Equality!"
"Long live Boyin!
Long live equality!
!”
"Long live Boyin!
!Long live equality!
!”
"No need to help me." The sound was so loud that Boyin's chest was shaking. He leaned on crutches and declined the kindness of several young comrades.
"Look." Keating, who got off the car together, smiled and pointed to the flag flying on the flagpole of the government building in front of him.
Balance.
The symbol of the Equality Society.
Facing the slight breeze, Boyin's lips trembled slightly with a weathered face, and tears gathered little by little in the corners of his eyes.
They had waited for this day for too long.
"Francois, Chris, have you seen it?" Boyin's nose was sore and he whispered to the flag surrounded by grand joy, "We...won!"
