"It sounds simple, but the question is how to implement it? It is not easy to install undercover agents within the government." Vladislav has not thought about this possibility.
"Is it possible that the Bash government is monolithic?" Quentin asked.
"This... of course is impossible," Vladislav replied.
"Then there is always a chance." Quentin said.
Verak more agrees with Quentin's opinion. This point can be referred to the situation in Lezein, and he can start with some suitable officials and obtain benefits through coercion and inducement: "I think Comrade Quentin said it very well. This should be used as a way for us to solve the internal crisis.
The main idea.”
"To tell you the truth, we have tried this before. We thought that since the government's intelligence department planted undercover agents for us, we would bribe the people there and obtain the undercover list. We would eliminate the undercover agents first and then plan the next step.
Action." Webmaster Cozmo said, "But in the end, we spent a lot of effort to obtain the list.
Most of the undercover agents in the interview were labeled as comrades from the original branch... We had just merged with the Mutual Aid Association not long ago, and the main component of the undercover agents should not be us, so it is obvious that we were deceived. If we hadn't noticed that there was something wrong with the list, we would have
If you eradicate your own people and cause great internal turmoil, the consequences will be even more disastrous..."
"It's not a surprise that the intelligence department is on guard against this, and deliberately tried to trick you." Quentin still insisted on this solution, "Then the real problem we have to solve is how to obtain the real list, or who to bribe, in order to obtain the real list.
."
"That's right, do you have a list of people in the government and its intelligence agencies? We need to research and analyze who to target based on their information." Verak's ideas were highly consistent with Quentin's, and he asked Cozmo for the information they had.
Enemy information.
Cosmo and Vladislav looked at each other and shook their heads: "We know very little about their situation..."
Verak frowned unconsciously: "It has been more than a month since the sub-station merged with the mutual aid association, right? What have you done during this time?"
The Bash substation fell into a comprehensive disadvantage in the struggle, and Verak accepted it, but he couldn't accept it after staying here for more than a month and not being able to compile any information on enemy personnel.
It's impossible for the main station to invest so much here and promote the merger of the sub-station and the mutual aid association, and then nothing has been accomplished after more than a month, right?
"It's like this. Before our sub-station came, the Workers' Mutual Aid Association was already in dire straits and was on the verge of disbanding due to severe infiltration. After that, when our sub-station came over and merged with the mutual aid association, we inevitably attracted undercover agents. In addition, various undercover agents were recruited.
A more stringent policy was introduced, so that we were beaten to pieces before we had time to organize a counterattack..." Cozmo's face didn't look good either.
"Let me ask you a question, if we don't come over, what are you going to do next?" Verak asked.
Cozmo felt invisible pressure: "Find a way to eliminate the undercover first..."
"The undercover has been there for more than a month, right? Have you thought of a solution?" Verak asked step by step.
"We plan to withdraw those we can trust first."
"Then what?"
"Then……"
"How can you ensure that the person you trust is not an undercover agent, and how can you face those people who have not rebelled but have been abandoned by you?" Verak felt that this method was too stupid. It would not be truly foolproof, and it would also chill some people.
Heart.
"This matter is a problem of our mutual aid association. If the International Equality Alliance branch had not merged with us, it would not have been in such a big trouble..." Vladislav spoke for Kozmo.
There is a certain truth to what Vladislav said.
It just makes some sense.
Verak's face was still cold and serious, with a sense of oppression: "Before the merger, didn't you have the most basic understanding of the Workers' Mutual Aid Association, and didn't you know that it had been seriously infiltrated internally?"
"I know." Cozmo said.
"Then you merged so directly?"
"I..." Cozmo hesitated, but finally said, "I think we need to face this problem squarely. If we remove these rebels, will others not rebel after merging with us? It still will. I
I wanted to find a way to fundamentally solve this problem, so I accepted this mess."
Verak took a deep breath, not wanting to have an ugly argument with the first and second leaders of the sub-station when he first arrived: "It's useless to talk about this now. The situation is at this point. We can only start to solve it. It would be more feasible if you can't raise it here.
As for the method, we should first prepare according to Comrade Quentin's idea, and at least find out the enemy's information first. If we don't even know the enemy's situation, I don't think other work can be carried out at all."
"...Okay, let's go to the city tomorrow." Cosmo agreed.
"Yeah." Vladislav agreed.
"That's it for now, let's all rest." Unable to even get basic information about the enemy, many actions that needed to be planned based on this could not be started. Verak decided not to waste time, got up and took Quentin and Connie up.
Walk away.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Verak." Cosmo felt ashamed and looked at Verak's back to apologize.
Verak stopped, took another deep breath, and calmed down: "If you have anything to apologize for, just calm down and let's start the branch again together."
"……Thanks."
"Let's go rest first and talk tomorrow." Verak left the basement and, under the arrangement of the comrades at the sub-station, came to a prepared simple bed.
"Comrade Verak, why are you back so soon?" The resting environment was very primitive, and Stuart tossed and turned for a while without being able to fall asleep.
"The situation is complicated. There is no need to discuss it tonight." Verak took off his clothes and rearranged the bed.
Oscar's fan of Huhudi also turned over and asked: "Then what are we going to do tomorrow?"
Verak didn't know either. He sighed: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's all have a good rest."
"Good night, Comrade Verak."
"Good night, Comrade Verak."
Verak lay on the bed and looked at the dark ceiling: "Good night."
——
July 8th, early morning
Verak, who was used to sleeping less, opened his eyes without the influence of any external factors.
"call……"
"call……"
Next to them, Oscar, Stuart and others were still sleeping, and they were snoring loudly because they were too tired.
He did not disturb the young people. After getting dressed, he went to the window and looked outside.
There are quite a lot of people in this small town, and there are never any interruptions of pedestrians on the road outside the house.
After observing, Verak found that the four sub-station leaders, Kozmo, Vladislav, Daisy, and Arseny, were not there, so he walked to the basement and lifted up the floor.
"who?"
Wary inquiries came from the basement.
Sure enough, they are all in the basement.
"It's me." Verak replied and walked away.
"Comrade Verak, you're up." Comrade Dai Qian greeted.
"Good morning, Comrade Verak."
"Good morning."
"What are you talking about?" Verak nodded slightly, stepped forward and sat down.
Cozmo, the sub-station director, still felt embarrassed about what happened yesterday. When facing Verak, he felt a little unsure: "We are discussing entering Winterfort today, contacting some trustworthy comrades, and conducting an investigation first."
"Okay." Verak thought for a while, "You are not wanted, are you?"
"Arseny and I are both wanted, and our photos have been printed on the wanted list." Vladislav said, "Station Director Kozmo and Deputy Station Director Dai Qian were leaked by undercover agents after the merger.
The photos haven’t been released yet.”
"Then who do you plan to enter the city?"
"Comrade Vladislav stays, the three of us go in," Cosmo said.
Verak was a little tempted: "Isn't Winterfort very patrolled? You are all wanted people, and you entered three at a time?"
"If Comrade Vladislav hadn't been the one who caused the most trouble before, and now his popularity has increased so much that it would be inconvenient for him to get away with it, we would have taken him in with us." Cozmo took out his cigarette case and met Verak's eyes.
He pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, "We
Fortunately for a few of them, there won't be any big problems if they forge identity certificates, disguise themselves and act separately. Now, in order to avoid being taken away by undercover agents, our comrades in Winterfort have all spread out to fight on their own, so if there are more people, please contact us.
The efficiency will be improved.”
"Thank you." Verak took out a cigarette and lit it, "Then do you think I can sneak in?"
"Probably not..." Kozmo then passed a cigarette to Vladislav Arseny, "Across the Wilen Sea in Sine, our Bash Navy is fighting hard against the Wilan and Bresi coalition forces. Therefore,
Winterhold, and all places are hostile to the Wellanders
, the Brexi people are hostile. In addition, the International Equality Alliance was founded by the Brexi people, and the patrolling guards will often focus on the Brexi people. After a well-known person like you enters, even if he is not recognized at a glance, he will
We absolutely cannot withstand detailed interrogation."
"Hiss...huh..." Verak exhaled a puff of smoke, "I think that everyone is a leader, and we should stand at the front and take the lead, instead of leaving our comrades in the most dangerous place. I am here
Sleep peacefully.”
Cozmo smiled and said: "You misunderstood us. We have been staying in Winterfort and trying to resolve the crisis. It was because of the presence of undercover agents and to ensure your safety that we took the risk and came out here to greet you."
"I see, I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Verak apologized frankly. When he chatted with Arseny yesterday, he thought they were hiding here to avoid the limelight. In this case, he would have no shame anyway.
go down,
"I admit that we made a big mistake in our decision-making, which has resulted in the sub-station's current situation being very pessimistic, but please rest assured that there is no one among us who is afraid of death, and we will not hide behind other comrades.
." Cozmo said solemnly.
"Don't worry about that." Dai Qian followed with a smile.
"Understood." Verak faced the four comrades from the sub-station who were all Bashi people. Among them were the original veterans of the Equality Society and the leaders of the current spontaneous resistance. He said that they were afraid. This was indeed impossible, "Please also
Don't worry, our trip will not be in vain. If we unite together, it won't take long to turn the situation around."
"We believe in you, you are Verac." Cozmo admired Verac's deeds from the bottom of his heart. He did not hold any grudge against Verac's merciless reproach to them last night, but accepted it humbly.
"Yes, you are Verak." Others said.
These words made Verak blush a little: "This has nothing to do with me..."
"To be honest, we all felt relieved when we learned that you were coming to support us." Vladislav, as someone who had just joined the International Equality Alliance not long ago, knew a lot about Verak's affairs. "
Everyone says that you are good at creating miracles, and you can always make things possible that others think are impossible, and then realize them one by one."
"What I want to say about this is that those things can be accomplished not because of my efforts alone, but because all of us firmly believe. Because of belief, unprecedented power burst out and created miracles." Verak didn't want to
Seeing others deifying themselves and placing their hopes on themselves, "So instead of you believing that I can do this, you might as well believe that we can do it together."
"Okay, haha..." Several people laughed.
"It's getting late. Every additional hour we waste, our comrades may face more danger." After smoking a cigarette, Cozmo stood up, "Let's contact them first and prepare for a counterattack.
"
Verak stood up and said goodbye: "Be safe on the road."
"Yeah." Cozmo, Daisy, and Arseny walked out of the basement first and left through the back door of the house.
"They are all still asleep." Vladislav locked the door and looked at the many sleeping people.
"We are really tired along the way. There is nothing important for them to do now. It's time for them to have a good sleep." Verak also looked at them.
"I heard that these comrades, except for Quentin, are all newcomers?"
"That's right. It has been a few months since I joined our International Equality Alliance, but I have never encountered any major problems. I have come all the way, and I regard the difficulties on the road as a test for them." Verak said softly.
, for fear of disturbing their rest.
Vladislav grinned: "The huge victory over Bresi was so exciting that we couldn't sleep for days and nights. We really hope that Bash's day will come soon."
"Sooner or later." Verak said with certainty.
"I'm still a little confused about the theory of equality. I heard that you have done in-depth research on this subject. Can I ask for advice?" Vladislav said.
Verak said nothing, went to the bedside, opened the suitcase, and took out "Theory of Class" written by Winston: "There has been a more comprehensive work than The Theory of Equality, and even this one may not be available for long.
Only then will it become the cornerstone of greater works.”
"Really?" Vladislav came up.
"Let's go, I'll tell you." In order not to disturb others' rest, Verak came to the basement and told Vladislav the content of "Theory of Class".
