"Okay." Quentin held back his desire to refute Clark's idea and waited for him to explain how to reduce the risk.
"To be more detailed, the so-called increased risk of exposure is nothing more than our presence, which can easily attract the attention of the inspection team, so they may investigate us. At the same time, our background is not as clear as that of the old immigrants, and the more the inspection team investigates, the less likely we are to investigate.
The more results come out, the easier it will be to strengthen suspicion against us," Clark said.
Quentin suspected that Clark was setting a trap for himself, and he reiterated his point of view: "I think even if the inspection team can find some results, the suspicion will only grow rather than subside."
"Why?"
"A person who has just come here will attract the attention of the patrol team no matter what if he unites the entire Heping Street."
"Wouldn't the two candidates you proposed also be taken seriously and suspected to be people from the International Equality Alliance?"
"It's better to doubt them than to doubt us."
"We support them, but the patrol team doubts them. Will the danger not be drawn to us?"
"Let's first talk about what method you have thought of to eliminate this risk." Quentin returned to the starting point, waiting for Clark's opinion.
Clark no longer pretended: "My idea is a trick we have used before. Some time ago, Winterfort was heavily patrolled and we couldn't get in at all, so the sub-station organized comrades to infiltrate the patrol team in a certain neighborhood to help us succeed.
A safe zone has been created. Since other places can do it, we should also try to place our people here on Heping Street to cover our actions so that we can understand the movements of the patrol team."
"We have fully calculated, we still have nine and a half days. In nine and a half days, we will place comrades into the patrol team, and then we will go out to gain the recognition and trust of the people, and then unite everyone, and find a way to make them feel the benefits of unity... Do you think it is too late?
What?
What's more, if the patrol team deploys comrades from the sub-station, is this still our own training?" Quentin was disappointed with Clark's strategy. Seeing Clark's confident look, he thought he had really found a more feasible way.
road.
"I'm going to be an undercover agent." Clark's words made everyone stunned for a moment.
"You are from Brexi." Verak reminded.
"But I studied in Bash and lived for a few years. I can almost be regarded as half a Bash." Clark was quite confident about his undercover status. "The most important thing is that my father had a close relationship with an inspector from Winterhold during his lifetime."
Officials are good friends. When I first came to Winterhold to study, this uncle the inspector helped me a lot. If I find him now and tell him that my family is bankrupt and has no one to rely on, he will not stand idly by.
"
Verak guessed what was going to happen next: "And then ask him to arrange you into the patrol team?"
"Yes. I know Brexi and I know Bash. As long as I can join the inspection team, I will be 90% sure to be transferred to work in Heping Street. When the time comes, you will come forward to lead the people of Heping Street towards unity, and I will fight for you.
Cover." Clark's idea was bold.
"This is too risky. It almost puts all our risks on you alone." After listening to all Clark's ideas, Quentin changed his mind and felt that this plan was feasible, but in case of an emergency
If something happened to Clark, it would be too much of a loss.
"Is it possible that when we have a choice, we should pass the risk to your two candidates?" Clark asked, "In the end, they are not tools for us to carry out our mission, they are also people we need help, aren't they?
?”
Quentin was speechless.
Verak was moved.
Clark's idea can even be said to be a little crazy, taking all the dangers of this exercise on himself, but this is also a solid implementation of the International Equality Alliance's style.
If there is danger, comrades from the International Equality Alliance will go first!
They are always the people's most solid support, and it is through this desperate dedication that they gain the people's trust.
"I've finished my thoughts." Clark waited for Verak to arrange a vote to decide the final direction of the plan.
"Well..." Verak groaned and looked at Stuart, Connie, and Oscar who were sitting together, "Do you have any opinions before voting?"
"I think Clark is right, I can't let ordinary people be our shield..." Stuart's attitude changed, "But...it was Comrade Clark who ultimately took the risk, and I can't feel at ease.
Ground support..."
"Me too..." Connie hoped that she would be able to replace Clark as an undercover agent.
Oscar didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.
Seeing Clark and Quentin discussing the various possibilities of the plan so intensely and glowing with enthusiasm, he suddenly felt guilty and guilty.
He has been here for so long, and he has yet to contribute his full strength.
"Don't make the atmosphere so tense." Verak said with a smile, "We carried out so many dangerous missions, but none of them were as heavy as yours today."
"Vote, Comrade Verak." Clark just waited for the results.
Quentin was vaguely aware that Clark would gain support from the other three people.
This is not because Clark's plan is so perfect, but because his plan never considered pulling innocent people in front as a shield.
"I don't think your two plans are that conflicting. The two plans can be completely merged. I agree with Clark coming forward and covering for us as an undercover agent in the patrol team. I also support supporting the two candidates mentioned by Quentin.
Verak calmly corrected Clark's mistake, "Comrade Clark, you are wrong about one thing. You defined the struggle of ordinary people as being our shield. But have you ever thought that everyone has a struggle?"
right."
"I……"
"Quentin's considerations and starting points in choosing the two candidates may be wrong, but the result is not wrong. They have the right to fight. Peace Street, Winterhold, Bash, and people all over the world have the right to fight. We must stand
They are in front of them, but this does not mean that they will sit back and enjoy the gains. What we should do is to unite everyone, unite everyone's strength, and fight together. Only then can we hope to remove the dross that has lasted for thousands of years."
Lark said.
Several people had an epiphany.
Their thoughts just now were led astray by Clark's resolute attitude and Quentin's shady original intention.
Of course the people also have to fight! Not just these two candidates, if given the opportunity, everyone in Heping Street should be trained and supported, learn to see the status quo clearly, and know how to change the status quo.
"Sorry." Quentin sincerely apologized to the five people present. "Comrade Verak is right, but I just used them as our cover and shield."
"It's okay, isn't this the point of exercise?" Verak smiled.
Quentin understood what Verak meant.
He used to feel a little superior, and he believed from the bottom of his heart that he didn't need to exercise like everyone else, he could just be the leader of the plan.
It now appears that his understanding of some matters is also deficient.
"I understand." Unconsciously, Quentin's tone and eyes became much more humble.
Watching them grow and change little by little, Verak seemed to be able to understand the feeling that Teacher Keating had when he trained him: "Oscar, why don't you speak?"
"Huh?" Oscar subconsciously scratched his neck, "I...I don't know what to say..."
"It doesn't matter." Verak was keenly aware of Oscar's emotions, "There will be many places in Heping Street that you need to promote, so you can make good use of your strengths. Whether this place can be transformed or not is up to you."
"I...um!" Oscar clenched his fists.
"Actually, you don't need to be too repulsive to my opinion. This is your training. You want to do this independently. There is nothing wrong with it, but this does not mean that you have to exclude useful suggestions for you. I will give you my suggestions.
, doesn’t mean you cheated, because the purpose of everyone’s exercise is to grow. Aren’t my words making you understand some things more deeply?” Before speaking about his own views, Verak first responded to what Stuart said last night.
Said 'This is our exercise, you can't interfere' came the response.
"If you don't give these explanations, I won't resist now. On the contrary, I hope you will explain more." Stuart admired Verak much more than Quentin.
"Then let me tell you what I have been thinking about for nearly a day." Verak said slowly, "Comrade Clark and Comrade Quentin's ideas are very good and mature, but they are more or less ignored.
For example, you don’t actually conflict. Your ideas can be combined and implemented. Why must it only be us? And why must we have to rely on the people themselves if we can’t do it? We don’t have deep hatred, right? There is no need to avoid it.
.”
"Yes." Quentin listened and reorganized his thoughts.
Verak continued with a smile: "Clark goes undercover. You, the two candidates, and even more people will be the backbone. Together, we will push the immigrants on Peace Street to unite and learn to fight. It is no more important than standing up alone."
Is there power?"
"The risk..." Clark raised concerns for Quentin.
"The risks you have repeatedly emphasized are difficult for me to understand. This is not a greenhouse, but a soil where it is most difficult for the revolution to survive. How can the risks not exist? How can it be completely eliminated? Everyone should do it
Haven't you done it all? You have thought about your own background and rhetoric, and you have thought about traveling thousands of miles to seek a living in Bashdong Castle.
The reason for living is that the patrol team will never be able to investigate Brexi and find out your situation, so this is enough. Are there really things other than this that you can further control? You need to think about it.
Think about this issue, and then consider whether to reduce the excess weight." Verak asked one by one the issues he had studied during this period.
After a period of silence, several people re-examined the situation based on Verak's point of view.
Quentin, who always talked about risks, was the first to say: "There is really no way to go further."
"What do you think?"
"agree."
"agree……"
"Then stop thinking about risks. Now Comrade Clark has decided to go undercover and cover you. Your safety has been relatively fully guaranteed. He is the only one left who should consider risks and eliminate them."
Verak glanced at Clark, indicating that he really wanted to take this seriously, "What the rest of you have to do is arrange
It’s a good division of labor, and then unite with some immigrants you think are reliable, and work together to push Heping Street towards unity. Time seems to be relatively tight, so you two can move out simultaneously. I think when Comrade Clark is transferred to Heping Street, you should
The preparation work has also been completed. From now on, it will be a matter of overt and covert collaboration to get this thing done."
"Huh...that sounds quite stressful." Stuart sat up straight and took a long breath.
Verak commented objectively: "This exercise of yours is quite difficult. I will keep an eye on the whole process and provide you with help when necessary."
"Then-"
"But you'd better not think that with me protecting you, you can relax and do whatever you want. Training is only for you, and it falls on the people. You know what it is." Verak interrupted.
Stuart wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Understood." Stuart became serious.
"Then let's start?" Verak asked, spreading his hands.
Quentin and Clark looked at each other: "Leave it to us."
"Well." Clark stood up, "Then I'll go find the inspector uncle first."
"Let me see you off." Verak and Clark walked out of the compartment together, leaving Quentin and the others to prepare for the operation. "We are all our own people. I won't beat around the bush with you. If you don't feel confident, don't go.
"
"I know you're afraid that I was just too motivated to win over Quentin and pushed for a task I couldn't do." Standing outside the tavern with Verak, Clark looked at the people passing by with a slight smile on his face.
Pedestrian: "I didn't. This decision is the result of my careful consideration."
"I didn't plan to let you participate in the exercise. After all, you came to Bash just to teach me Bash." Verak held a cigarette in his mouth.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"You learn quickly, so now that I'm here, I have to do something more meaningful." Clark didn't think much, and he accepted the change in his responsibilities calmly.
In his eyes, teaching Virakbash is just a small thing. As a comrade of the International Equality Alliance, the real duty is to lead the people in revolution and welcome the beautiful new world of equality and freedom.
"Pay attention to safety, and come back as soon as possible if you can't. We still have a long way to go." Verak exhaled a puff of smoke, not leaving Clark any longer.
"Well, I'll ask you to keep an eye on them." Clark took a deep breath and walked towards the street, "Let's go."
Verak watched Clark disappear into the street while smoking.
"Oh."
Looking at it, he smiled.
Recently, he has often wondered whether Keating felt the same way when he taught him.
Then, the longing for Keating arose.
"It's a pity that looking like this, I can't go back for a while." Verak, who had many things to share with him, murmured to himself and returned to the tavern.
