Daniel retreated and looked outside to avoid emergencies.
"Good evening, everyone." Verak walked directly to the long temporary table and greeted the six people with solemn expressions under the light.
"Chris." A man came forward and hugged Verak.
Verak hugged him: "Boyin, long time no see."
Boyn, who was hugging him, was the only one among the six remaining people who had been classmates with Chris and Frances. He knew Chris very well, and he was also the person who Verak was most worried about being recognized during this trip.
"Just stay alive." Boyin swallowed even more.
Verak forcibly suppressed his inner uneasiness: "Even if I die, you will still be here, and the unfair system will still exist, so everything will continue as usual."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We can't lose you." Boyin said seriously.
"I understand." Verak smiled and quickly introduced the topic in order to avoid dealing with Boyendo, "I don't have much time. Let's start the meeting as soon as possible."
"Everyone, please sit down." Chloe asked everyone to sit down around the long table.
Verak sat down, took a deep breath, looked around at the six people who were serious about their business, and took the initiative to promote the meeting: "Today we have two issues to discuss. The first is the naming of the organization. The second is the follow-up of the organization.
Development plan. Let’s first talk about your views on the naming of the organization.”
"I have two naming proposals." Schriver, who is responsible for publicity-related matters in the organization, said, "Workers Federation or Workers' Rights Protection Association."
"Not even possible." As soon as Shriver finished speaking, Usoff, a man with Mediterranean hair sitting opposite him, objected, "We are not only leading the workers to eliminate inequality, but there are also thousands of people at the bottom who are suffering.
Discrimination, oppression.”
"Workers make up the majority of the people at the bottom, and most of the members of our organization are from worker backgrounds," Shriver explained.
Chloe then raised her opinion: "I think the workers' union is good. As Comrade Shriver said, there are the most workers among the people at the bottom. The goal of our organization from the beginning is to fight for more rights for workers.
So the name is very appropriate."
"And everyone will know what kind of organization we are as soon as they hear it." Seeing that some people agreed, Shriver continued.
Others also expressed their opinions. Boyin, who was sitting next to Verak, turned sideways and asked: "What do you think?"
"I would like to hear what you have to say first." Verak did not express his opinion rashly.
"I think the name of the Workers' Union is not good. We now need to gather all the forces we can, so the positioning should be broader." Boyn started to speak first, "As for what Shriver said, others will know what it is when they hear it.
Organization, in my opinion, this name is more like an association governed by the government. We need a clearer name that can be clearly understood by people with the same needs."
"So what do you think?"
"The Equality Society," said Boyne, "is very simple and clear."
Verak showed a surprised smile: "I think so too."
Verak did not expect that Chris's former classmates and friends thought the same way. He did think about the name before attending the meeting, and felt that since everyone wanted equality, it would be better to just call it the Equality Meeting.
"That's much easier." Boyin signaled everyone to be quiet, cleared his throat, and told everyone the idea of whispering with Verak just now.
When Verak looked at the records of Chris' previous meetings, he found that Chris and Boyne's views were highly consistent, and they usually strongly supported Boyne's proposals in meetings, so he chose to follow Chris's habit and said: "I agree with Comrade Boyne.
proposal."
"This is not bad." Chloe also said.
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
Because the proposal itself is good, and with the support of ‘Chris’, the naming of the organization will soon be over. From today on, they have an official name: Equality Association.
The efficiency of the meeting was a bit beyond Verak's expectation. He hoped that the follow-up would be the same and that he would end the contact with these people as soon as possible to avoid any omissions over time.
After the organization's name was determined, the core members began to redefine everyone's duties due to previous heavy losses.
Chris, whom Verak pretended to be, serves as the president of the Equality Society, and the others have also clarified the areas and affairs they are responsible for. Among them, Chloe is responsible for recruiting new members in Lezein, and Boyne is responsible for organizing related activities in Lezein.
.
"Comrade Chloe, you want to change our current development direction, right?" a cadre asked.
"Yes." Verak still remembered what he said to Chloe, he said, "A lot has happened in Lazerin this year. We have lost hundreds of members including Francis. I hope everyone understands our
Our original intention is to lead everyone to seek equality, not to let everyone die. All those who are oppressed are our allies, and we are all facing the ultimate enemy. Therefore, we cannot confront the Bressi government head-on now. The top priority is
We must gather the strength of the whole country and the world."
Upon hearing this, Morais, who was stubborn in his work, snorted: "In the struggle, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable!"
Verak was stunned: "...Of course."
"Comrade Chris, I agree with what you said before, 'The belief we uphold will allow us to win the final victory.' But after this government crackdown, didn't everyone have any reflection? It's just that they will become more cautious in the future.
Just fine?" Morais spoke of his opinion with excitement, "That's treating the symptoms but not the root cause! Can we hide in the shadows forever? We rely on the righteous forces hiding in the shadows to defeat the government and the plutocrats in the open.
?”
Morais' words stunned everyone.
Verak recalled Morais' information and expressed understanding of his reaction. Five of these six people were intellectuals, and only Morais was a soldier.
After being baptized by the battlefield, Morais certainly would not choose to confront the government in a soft and gentle way. Even in his view, even the radical Francis was just a weak scholar who could only hold a pen and denounce again and again, and could not
Make the government really afraid.
"Everyone here, haven't you noticed something from past history?" Morais said with intense emotion, "Why should the government and plutocrats sacrifice huge interests to compromise with us? We must recognize that these politicians and businessmen only want to compromise with us.
We will bully the weak and fear the strong! Speaking for the people cannot make them feel fear! Only when we are armed and have the strength to at least hurt them, will they look at us and seriously consider the opinions we have always put forward! "
