"What? Some people over there spontaneously shot at government troops?!"
"Yes, one is dead and one is injured. Now the government army has sent an additional company of troops to the Martyrs Cemetery for defense. I am worried that this matter will affect the decision-making of the interim government and push them to take action against the Martyrs Cemetery as soon as possible."
With a solemn look on his face, Verak walked slowly to the window and stared at the government building directly in front of him: "If this really prompts the provisional government to attack the Martyrs Cemetery in a short period of time, then there is nothing we can do."
The combat team's plan has just begun to be formulated, and the intelligence team is just preparing to start various tasks. Time does not allow them to immediately have the ability to intervene in the security of the Martyrs Cemetery.
The people's good intentions disrupted their plans to a certain extent.
Sherrill followed: "We need to work out a response plan."
"We are all so busy right now that we can't get away from it. Moreover, this matter is very difficult and has almost no solution. Bringing everyone together for a meeting will not be of much use." Verak put his hands in his pockets and sighed again and again, "If the provisional government is close to
We will attack the Martyrs Cemetery within two days, so we can only choose to watch silently."
"Are you sure?"
"It takes at least two days for the Operations Department to plan and implement their actions to divert the attention of the interim government. If you want to implement the action within two days, you will most likely pay the price of your life, and it may not be effective. You
Do you think I should agree?" Verak has already been mentally prepared. As the leader and person in charge of the action team, he must act more rationally and decisively on some matters. "The station will then hold us accountable and ask us why.
If you don't do anything about this matter, I can bear it alone."
"I think it's time for us to step forward and guide the people. This can not only prevent the same thing from happening again, such as people spontaneously attacking newspaper offices, causing the newspapers to take stricter precautions, but also give full play to Lezeinli's revolution.
Power." Sheryl said.
Verak's expressionless face was reflected on the glass: "I have thought about it, but now the government forces are abundant and have comprehensive control over Lezein. We ourselves cannot go out and move freely at will, so how can we unite so many people?
They."
Sheryl nodded slightly: "This is also an urgent problem that needs to be solved."
"It's better not to think so much. It's easy to get nothing if you take too big a step. What we have the most hope for right now is to collect as much evidence as possible and make a good comeback in this public opinion war. Others,
We will study it after we have dealt with the matter that is a threat to the entire International Equality Alliance." Verak did not let the action team deal with countless challenges at the same time in a moment of excitement. The only thing he thought about now was to at least complete one first.
thing.
"You are right, let's do it one by one." Sheryl agreed with Verak's decision.
"Comrade Verak."
"Comrade Verak, over there at the Martyrs Cemetery..."
The three members of the combat team first learned the details of the telegram from Murphy, and then faced Verak.
Verak turned to Cyril, Spencer, and Nitzan: "The matter is true, but don't be impatient. Study your plan steadily and make next arrangements according to the situation."
"How can we not be in a hurry? The plan will be discussed earlier, and we will--"
"Don't bear such pressure." Verak interrupted Cyril, "Do your best and come up with a plan before the interim government takes action. Don't feel guilty if you can't. Your final plan must be approved by me.
It can only be carried out, so making unreliable plans in a hurry and then being rejected by me will only waste more time."
"Most of the time in formulating the plan was spent on studying how to evacuate safely. If the evacuation is abandoned, the plan can be carried out earlier." Veteran Spencer said, "I am willing to participate in the actual operation."
"I do too."
"I do too."
Cyril Nizan echoed.
They are all willing to sacrifice themselves to attract the attention of the provisional government and resolve the crisis at the Martyrs Cemetery.
Verak had a cold face and was not moved by the three people's resignation: "Are you sure that our presence in the Martyrs Cemetery just after the incident will not be considered by the provisional government as deliberately attracting attention?"
The three of them were speechless.
"If the interim government had not abandoned the Martyrs Cemetery as we expected and turned around to intensify the search in various districts, would your death have been in vain?" Verak asked.
"But it's better than watching another possibility happen." Cyril looked directly at Verak.
"Bullshit!" Verak's face turned livid and he cursed, "Even if the Provisional Government really wants to take action on the Martyrs' Cemetery immediately, will things change if you die? Will the Martyrs' Cemetery not be destroyed? The Provisional Government will still do it.
Destruction! They hope that we can’t help but show up and die together with the Martyrs Cemetery!”
Cyril's eyes were blazing.
Verak knew that he still insisted on this idea: "I am not afraid of sacrifice, and you are not afraid of sacrifice! When we really need to sacrifice our lives, I will shoot whoever dares to shrink first! But in meaningless things
Those who rush to sacrifice their lives are called stupidity! They are not worthy of admiration!"
"Even the people are willing to risk their lives to defend the Martyrs Cemetery, but if we don't go, how do you want the people to view us?" Nizan asked in return.
"Yes! When did the International Equality Alliance need to ask people to stand in front of them and block the gun? We really failed in this matter. Even if we reoccupy Lezein in the future, I can't hold our head up!" Si
Spencer followed.
"Is that what you think?" Verak was a little disappointed with the members of the combat team, "Comrade Sheryl, you answer them!"
"It's completely understandable that you don't want the people to fight on behalf of the International Equality Alliance, but have you ever thought that you are now willing to sacrifice yourselves to go out and act with us after perfecting the plan? You are all trying to defend the martyrs' cemetery and do what you want to do.
What can we do and what should we do? The biggest difference between the two is that the former was a day or two early and someone died, while the latter was well planned and did not cause any unnecessary losses." Sherrill immediately pointed out Nzan,
Spencer fell into a misunderstanding.
"That's right." Murphy, who had finished replying to the message via telegraph machine, also came over and supported Verak and Sherrill's view. "Both methods can let the people see our determination to fight, but the former adds additional information.
We are desperate and can only persist in this cruelest way. The additional message of the latter is that we should respond rationally and put safety first. Do you think that when we have poor communication with the people, these two
Which additional information would be more helpful to them?”
Verak, who calmed down, looked at the three of them: "Obviously, responding rationally and putting safety first is what the people need to understand most, isn't it? It is precisely because the people are protecting the Martyrs Cemetery at all costs that we should do more
Act rationally and let them know that blind struggle is not advisable. The first thing we have to do is to survive and make meaningful contributions while ensuring safety."
Cyril nodded: "...What you, Comrade Sherrill and Comrade Murphy said are very reasonable. What we do may only be counterproductive."
"The question is, what if we don't do anything in the past two days and the interim government really destroys the Martyrs Cemetery?" Spencer looked worried.
"Then... let them destroy it." Verak said, "On the contrary, I think that in this case, if we don't show up, there is a greater chance that the interim government will become even more unpredictable about our thoughts, and then continue to maintain
The current situation. But if that happens as you said, then we have no other choice but to accept it."
"What will we do when more people spontaneously stop it?" Spencer asked.
"I am also worried about this, so I thought we would come forward first, whether dead or alive, so that the people can see that we are in action, and we do not need them to take over the banner of struggle, so as to avoid more truly unnecessary sacrifices."
Likes show that he insists on his original intention.
Sherrill put forward a bold idea: "I think Comrade Verak's idea just now is good. If we insist on not taking action, it should be able to further confuse the interim government. And if we want to prevent the people from interfering and causing bloodshed and sacrifice, we can do it openly."
Use various means to spread news and remind people not to interfere."
"This will also increase the interim government's suspicion of us, right?" Murphy instantly understood Sherrill's intention.
"Yes, this can not only appease the people, but also make the interim government less and less understanding of our approach, and hesitant about whether to attack the Martyrs Cemetery. Ultimately, it can stop the people from acting impulsively and protect the Martyrs Cemetery.
It’s best if the interim government doesn’t do this, and at least the people won’t be in danger.”
"With this arrangement, we have to work harder for the comrades of the intelligence team." Verak patted Cyril, Spencer, and Nitzan, who were quite radical but were also thinking about the people. "The combat team maintains the original arrangement.
The arrangements remain unchanged, let’s go get busy.”
——
next day
November 23, early morning
Just after a night that was no different from the past, notices signed "International Equality Alliance" were inexplicably posted and scattered in the neighborhood near the Martyrs Cemetery.
The content of the notice was very simple. Apart from reminding the public not to blindly conflict with the interim government and to trust the arrangements of the International Equality Alliance, there was not a single word added.
This information spread quickly among the people, and at the same time, General Sert of the provisional government had to hold a meeting to study with his subordinates what the International Equality Alliance was planning.
"Have you read those notices? How did the International Equality Alliance spread these things while our soldiers were patrolling? Okay, let's put this aside. Let's first talk about their purpose behind issuing these notices.
." General Selter glanced at the group of silent subordinates and had to name them, "Ward, please tell me your opinion first."
The glasses officer, Holt Ward stood up and said: "I... First of all, we can see that the International Equality Alliance does not want the people to make unnecessary sacrifices. This should show that they do have their own plans regarding the cemetery. As for the
What is the specific plan, I think, I think..."
"Woolley." General Selter continued to name him.
"I have the same idea as him." Officer Cigar glanced at the officer with glasses, "But I have a little doubt. If the International Equality Alliance really laid a trap in the cemetery, then if they remind the people so openly, it will definitely make people angry.
We are wary."
"It's not difficult to understand." General Selt replied, "We suffered heavy losses when we entered the trap, and we never attacked the cemetery. This is a good thing for the International Equality Alliance. They informed the people and didn't care about our reaction at all.
.”
"They want to be completely invincible, but this is impossible. As long as the cemetery cannot fly away, the initiative will ultimately be in our hands."
"If we can make breakthroughs in other areas, it doesn't matter whether we use the cemetery or not."
"The cemetery can't just be left there. We have all the advantages, but we don't dare to attack a cemetery. If word gets out, others won't laugh at us? Didn't they say in the notice that they are afraid of the public intervening? Then we will incite the public.
Attack the cemetery and let’s see what they can do if chaos breaks out!”
The officers had their own opinions.
After listening for a while, General Selter waved his hand to signal for silence: "I think the International Equality Alliance has also taken the people's affairs into consideration. If we secretly push the people to have the idea of protecting the cemetery and let them oppose us everywhere, it will only intensify the government.
Mr. President will not agree to conflicts with the people."
The spectacled officer was convinced: "And we let the people beat us. This is probably what the International Equality Alliance wants to see most. If we really do this, it will only make them laugh."
"Is it possible that they really don't move the cemetery? I seriously doubt whether they have really laid a trap." Officer Cigar said, "In the worst case, I will send a team of people to investigate carefully. Even if something happens, our losses will be very small."
Within the tolerance range.”
"Don't worry, we haven't pushed it to that point yet. We really have to rely on this method to lose face." General Selt shook his head, "The key is whether you can hide it from other places.
The members of the International Equality Alliance Action Team found out.”
There was another moment of silence.
No one dared to look at General Selt for fear of being asked about the situation in the corresponding jurisdiction.
The search lasted for more than a week and indeed turned Lezein upside down, but still no trace of the International Equality Alliance action team was found. Now no one is sure that there will be any progress in the follow-up.
"When I first came here, didn't I put down my harsh words and try to arrest more people than anyone could? Why now I keep my head down and don't dare to say a word?" General Selt knew in his heart that the government has been doing something wrong all the way.
Countless people and forces faced the International Equality Alliance, and the Equality Alliance overturned the ship, but he was still angry about it, "There must be progress next, and whoever maintains this sluggish state without any gain, I will let him
