There is absolutely no problem in holding a formal ceremony for Lopez and others to become members of the International Equality Alliance.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, they have completed the test of Lopez and others, recognized their revolutionary beliefs, and recognized that they are qualified to officially become comrades of the International Equality Alliance, and become members of this group who work hard to make the world more beautiful.
Be part of a fighting organization.
However, the complexity of establishing a sub-station is ten times or a hundred times more than the conditions for joining the alliance.
"Is this okay..." Murphy didn't rush to translate Verak's words to Lopez and the others.
"You're talking about setting up a sub-station." Verak seemed to have expected it, and explained calmly, "This is not a sudden decision. I had been thinking about it for several hours before I proposed it. That's right,
Mongolia is in such chaos that we have never been able to spread revolutionary ideas, but I have never thought about relying on the five of them to assume all the functions of the sub-station."
"Just like planting a flag?" Murphy and Verak have a certain tacit understanding.
"Yes, establishing a sub-station now is more like planting the flag of equality first." Verak liked this description very much. He knew that Murphy fully understood his intention. "In addition, it is also a symbol of our strengthening ties with them.
No one knows how long it will take for us to come back, and they are even more uncertain than us."
"It will give them some peace of mind, right?"
"Yes." Verak slowly put away the map, "Tell them the situation, and at the same time send a telegram to the main station to report on the establishment of the sub-station, the verbal agreement with the Monrego City Guard Corps, our return, etc.
"
Murphy did so.
When they learned that Verak and his companions were going to establish the Montrego branch of the International Equality Alliance here before setting off, and that they would serve as the first members of the branch, the uneasy hearts of Lopez and others were truly appeased.
They know that they have been completely integrated into this great organization, and that Verak and others will definitely come back one day in the future and continue to work hard with them for the beautiful new world of Monrego.
The main station approved all arrangements made by Verak, but Keating did not make any remarks other than that.
Based on Verak's familiarity with Keating, it was not difficult for him to guess that Keating did not want to put any pressure on him and respected all his decisions.
In a sense, acquiescence also means that the main station really needs help, but Keating did not take the initiative to ask for it.
As for what help the three of them can provide when they return, it is unknown.
But even if we have a spiritual support, we have each other to rely on, and we can face those life and death crises together, this trip is still worth it.
After lunch, Verak held a formal joining ceremony for Lopez, De Obrador, Yáñez, and Musquez, and approved the five people to become members of the International Equality Alliance in his capacity as deputy chairman of the Alliance.
Member of the International Equality Alliance.
Later, he presided over the establishment ceremony of the humble Monlego branch of the International Equality Alliance, and appointed five people as the first members of the branch. Lopez was temporarily appointed as the deputy station director.
In the remaining time, Verak planned the work of the five people in the next few months, and Murphy briefly taught De, the fastest learner, how to receive and send telegrams.
How to translate the code cannot be accomplished overnight. Even Murphy's own translation requires the help of a special code comparison book between the International Equality Alliance branches. It will take a long time for Dewan to truly master this skill.
After arranging and handing over all the miscellaneous work, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Verak, Murphy, and Connie packed their few luggage, and with the five of them seeing them off, they arrived in front of the outer city train station.
"Okay, you guys go back." After buying the earliest train tickets to the far west of Monlego, Murphy said to the five of them.
"We'll watch you go in." Lopez and others did not turn around and leave.
"Let's go." All the necessary instructions had been given, and Verak didn't waste any time. He patted the shoulders of the five of them one by one as if they were sharing a heavy responsibility, "See you in the morning."
"We are waiting for good news from the terminal," Lopez said.
"How do you say 'We will eventually win' in Mongolian?" Verak, who was about to turn around, paused and asked Murphy to help translate. After listening to Murphy's Mongolian, he used Mongolian in a decent manner.
Legault said, "We will win in the end."
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
"goodbye."
"goodbye!"
After boarding the train and actually starting the return journey, Verak calculated for the first time how long he had been away from Lezein.
If the rest of the journey is included, he has been out for less than five months.
Five months was much shorter than he thought.
He exaggeratedly thought that it would be many, many years before he could return to Lezeine, but there was no deviation from the expected result - Lezeine and Bressie had changed their appearance again.
The train started, and the scenes outside the window rushed backwards.
Verak, who was staring outside, suddenly felt that everything was like a dream.
What exactly did I do on this long trip? It seemed like I had done something, but it also seemed like I had done nothing.
Lezein is really a magical place. It not only completely changed his life, but also tied him forever, allowing him to come back after a short period of time no matter how far he went.
——
seventeen days later
November 11
With the secret support of their comrades, Verak, Murphy, and Connie, who crossed the United States of Dunman and returned to Bressy, took a car directly into the area controlled by the International Equality Alliance, and then took the train back as quickly as possible.
Arrive at Lezein, an international metropolis that has been filled with the atmosphere of war a few days ago.
In the past seventeen days, another strong earthquake broke out in the world.
Abroad, the Pruman Empire was pressing harder and harder in the Karen Sea. In order to preserve its strength and fear of losing the war again and further losing its international influence, the severely weakened Kingdom of Wellland kept giving in and was reluctant to fight with the
A large-scale conflict broke out.
But the Pruman Empire did not give up when things were good. While the Karen Sea continued to expand, it made a surprise attack on its neighbor to the west, the Lombard Empire, at lightning speed.
In just two weeks, three-fifths of the Lembart Empire fell.
The Bash Empire also took advantage of the situation and took action to increase its control over the Nile Empire. Regardless of international condemnation, it directly interfered in the internal affairs of the Nile Empire and turned this ancient civilization into its own 'resource factory'. At the same time, the fleet moved towards
Advancing into the sea areas controlled by the Kingdom of Welland.
The two parties that just broke the myth of the Kingdom of Willand's navy being undefeated not long ago, like sickles, continue to compress the endurance of the Kingdom of Willand from both sides. It is obvious to the naked eye that they want to 'dismember' the world hegemon and reshape the world structure.
In addition to them, Monlego ushered in a severe cold that had not been seen in more than ten years, and the offensive among the warlords slowed down and entered a precious period of stability; the Sder Kingdom once again mobilized troops to the disputed Masi region to fight with Kass
The Telia Empire is back in a tense situation.
As for Brexi, the situation in the war between the International Equality Alliance and the government forces took a turn for the worse.
The news of the successive deaths of Boyne and Morais undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the International Equality Alliance. The government forces pretended not to know in advance and secretly transferred the main force, which also caught the Equality Army on the front line by surprise.
After that, although Joseph calmly deployed his troops and made huge sacrifices to retake the fallen defense line, he still did not reverse the situation. He only bought half a month for the rear to move or find a solution.
Then, just a few days ago, due to the heavy losses and the breach of many sections of the defense line, the government troops had marched in. After careful deliberations, the new International Equality League Chairman Keating issued an order requiring the Equality Army to retreat.
, shrink the defense line.
The International Equality Alliance was completely passive, and the nearest government troops were only three hundred kilometers away from Lezein.
Why is this happening?
Verak figured this out on the last leg of his way back to Lezein.
The International Alliance of Equality is no longer in the shadows, and has the same weaknesses as the government forces.
In the past, they were good at using infiltration and assassination tactics to obtain the maximum harvest and cause the maximum damage at the minimum cost.
Now, the government forces have also learned this and are doing a better job than the International Equality Alliance.
In more than half a month, many comrades at the director level of the International Equality Alliance were assassinated, and as many people as died betrayed the revolution. It can also be said that these people have never really devoted themselves to the revolution.
All in all, under the double blow of assassination and betrayal, the front line was crumbling and the rear was in turmoil.
Gradually, Verak realized that he was wrong.
During the final negotiations with casino owner Gonzalez in Monlego, he said that this crisis did not rank among the top three critical events in their revolutionary history.
Now it seems that this is undoubtedly the biggest crisis that the International Equality Alliance has encountered. It is a weakness that will inevitably be magnified after it has grown rapidly and become a behemoth that can effectively deter government forces.
After leaving the train station and looking at the scene in Lezein, Verak couldn't help but sigh.
Today's Lezein is actually even more depressed than when they just overthrew the Bressey government. The smell of war floated over early, blended into the air, was inhaled by everyone, and spread like a virus, eventually causing people to become depressed.
Unhappy and lifeless.
"Comrade Verak, please get in the car." The person responsible for taking Verak and the three men to the Equality Building was the same police officer who picked up Morais some time ago.
"Are they all over there?" Verak couldn't feel the slightest joy when he returned to this familiar place.
Government troops were approaching unstoppably.
The former leaders Boyne and Morais passed away one after another.
This land is a bit cold and unfamiliar.
"Yes, we are all waiting for you." The Sheriff said, "But...Chairman Keating has specially told you that if you want to visit Comrade Boyne and Comrade Morais first, you can do that."
He is worthy of being the teacher who has trained me to where I am today.
Keating thought precisely about what Verak would want to do when he returned.
Verak wanted to go to the Equality Building to discuss countermeasures with everyone first, but after struggling for a while, his words turned into "Let's go and see Boyne and Morais."
"There is one more thing that Chairman Keating specifically asked me to tell you as soon as possible." Before getting in the car, the Sheriff added, "Your best friend, Nord, who serves as the company commander of the Fourth Infantry Division of the Equal Army.
Comrade, died during the retreat a week ago."
Verak, who was about to open the door, finally put his hand on the car: "...how...how did he die?"
The Sheriff took a deep breath and said: "We have very few military doctors and cannot properly handle a large number of wounded. Comrade Nord has been hiding his injuries in order to give limited medical resources to his comrades in the company.
Until he fell down and had no breath..."
Verak wanted to say, "Hasn't he considered himself?! He himself is obviously a wounded person! His wife is still pregnant!", but reason told him that such words were the greatest insult to Nord's behavior, and they were still
After struggling for a while, only half of the words were left on his lips: "Do you know about Comrade Catherine's situation?"
"Chairman Keating asked me to tell you that he originally wanted Comrade Catherine to take a good rest, but was refused. Comrade Catherine is currently working in a relatively safe field hospital."
"promise--"
"Comrade Nord's body was sent back, and like Comrade Boyne and Comrade Morais, he was buried in the Revolutionary Cemetery." The Sheriff seemed to have learned from Keating the answers to all the questions Verak wanted to ask.
"Verak." As one of the first people to deal with Verak and Nord, Murphy knew that Nord's sacrifice would have a much greater impact on Verak than the sacrifices of Boyne and Morais.
That's Verak's best brother.
He said that when he was ignorant, he had two close friends. One was named Nord and the other was Dempsey.
Nord envied the life of the rich and powerful, but Dempsey looked down upon it.
Later, they came to Lezein together from the remote city of Tswold. In just a few days, Dempsey was eroded by materialistic desires and turned into the kind of person he hated most. He often talked about longing for aristocrats.
Nord, who lives his life, sticks to his humanity and friendship.
It was then that Verak began to wake up.
Almost being pulled into the whirlpool of desire by the powerful, he understood that there are some things more important than wealth and status - including friendship, which is Nord.
Later, Verak, who was kidnapped by Nord, was reborn from prison, and when he returned to Lezein, he also pulled Nord's hand.
In this way, the two brothers watched each other truly live and have a great career worth fighting for their entire lives.
Nord still has his own happiness. He is married and is about to become a father.
A brave new world awaits people like him.
The concerns of the Sheriff, Murphy, and Connie became vague, as if they were coming from under the water, or it might actually be Verak who sank into the water.
He thought of the long talk he had with Nord the night before leaving Lezein and the night before Nord got married.
They talked a lot.
It was as if Nord knew at that time that he was only one step away from being sacrificed, so he told Verak everything from the bottom of his heart.
Verak also knew that it was probably the last time they would see each other alive.
