In the underground meeting room of the Equality Warehouse, Verak, Boyne, Chloe, and Morais remained silent for about ten minutes.
At ten o'clock today, the latest information came from Fletcher. Carmine got the wind and knew that many forces were sharpening their knives and were ready to attack him and the forces behind him at any time.
Carmine knew he was overwhelmed, and he couldn't estimate how many business and political opponents Verac had passed on this bill to. In order to reduce the burden, and for Thomas Company to successfully participate in the World Expo, they decided to detonate a secret mine first and make it public.
Statement that his son Chris betrayed the country.
This move will inevitably lead to the government to help resolve the equality issue.
Now that Carmine knows that the Equality Society has initially formed armed forces, in order to draw a clear line with Verak and the Equality Society, they will tell the government all the information they know to eliminate suspicion.
And when the government learns that the Equality Association has been equipped with guns and ammunition on a large scale, it will definitely spare no effort to suppress and suppress them.
The winter of the Equality Society is coming.
"Should we take a break and evacuate Lezein?" Chloe broke the silence, "Anyway, the main opponents of the Thomas family will still be their business and political opponents. It doesn't make much sense for us to stay here."
"But this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Boyin struggled. "The World Exposition is approaching. This is an opportunity for the whole world to see us, and hopefully for the whole world to hear what we have to say."
Morais, who has always been tough, was shocked and speechless when he heard this: "You..."
Boyn looked at Verak: "What do you think? Chris."
Verac crossed his arms across his chest, not knowing what to say. Now it was clear that Boyin wanted to withstand the pressure of the Bressy government and use the much-anticipated opportunity of the World Exposition to make the reputation of the Equality Society known.
There are good and bad things about this.
The advantage is that when the whole world knows that there is such a group of people pursuing equality in Lezein, it will accelerate people's awakening.
The disadvantage is that the government will attach great importance to them, and there is no telling how many more people will die in the coming days.
If it were completely selfish, from his own point of view, Verak would undoubtedly agree with the evacuation of Lezein. In this way, safety would be guaranteed and there would be more opportunities to take money and run away.
But this matter related to the future of the Equality Society, and it was an extremely important decision at the moment. He did not dare to rashly pull this organization, which was full of passion for the light, into a direction that only benefited him because of his own selfish interests.
"I will make a decision after the three of you vote on this matter with a show of hands." Verak is apparently the final decision-maker, but in fact he has handed over the decision-making power to the three of them. Which choice has more people in favor later?
, whichever one he agrees with, it can be regarded as not interfering with the internal decisions of the Equality Association. Even if the Equality Association is destroyed soon because of this decision, he will not have much psychological burden.
"Why don't you express your thoughts first..." Boyin asked.
"...I want to hear your opinions first." Verak continued to push the blame.
Boyin looked at Chloe and Morais, trying to convince the two of them: "We can escape. It doesn't matter if we escape once or twice. If it's not enough, we can escape for the rest of our lives. Wherever there is power, we will avoid it.
We will avoid wherever there is oppression, even though we claim to be warriors who dare to confront the government, even though we already believe that blindly giving in will not have any positive effect..."
Chloe and Morais felt a little ashamed.
After they deduced how the government would suppress them next, their first thought was to flee. Perhaps it was because they were hit hard two months ago, and there was a shadow. Or maybe, as Boyin said, they were still hesitant.
"You only have one chance." Boyin stared at the two of them and said solemnly, "We can definitely use the World Expo to spread the ideas of the Equality Society."
"This time the government's crackdown will be far more ferocious than last time," Morais said.
Bo Yin's face was calm and resolute: "If there is a sacrifice, let me be the first to do it."
As soon as this statement came out, the outcome was decided.
"Let's set an example." Morais made up his mind.
Chloe was silent for more than ten seconds: "...I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want our people to make another unnecessary sacrifice. Comrade Boyin, if this sacrifice is valuable, I am willing to be the first
superior."
"We didn't make this decision for the sake of sacrifice, so of course we have to avoid it as much as possible." Seeing that both of them agreed to the decision, Boyin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Verak.
Verak admired these three people from the bottom of his heart for putting life and death aside and devoting everything to their lofty ideals: "Since everyone voted unanimously, we will establish the next direction. Stick to our public opinion position and ideological position, and strive for
Take the express train of the World Exposition and spread the concept of equality to the whole world."

On September 6th, Laize was peaceful.
On September 7, a public opinion war broke out that attracted everyone's attention in Lazerin.
Lazerin's major newspapers published on their headlines bill records of Carmine's private transactions with powerful people, and also attached scandals involving many big figures in the network behind Carmine for people to speculate.
This is not only a business war against Thomas Company, but also a confrontation between different factions in power within Bresci.
Carmine was well prepared for this. In the afternoon of the same day, Carmine came forward to clarify the matter, denying that he had used improper means to win over powerful people and use their intervention to expand his business empire.
Then, Carmine dropped another bombshell news, stating that his son Chris had gone astray, joined a rebel organization, and was plotting to sabotage the International Exposition to be held soon. He would fully cooperate with the government and provide everything he knew.
information to eliminate rebel organizations as soon as possible.
Once the news was released, it aroused public opinion.
Although public opinion will put further pressure on the Thomas family, this move has to be done.
If they don't do this and wait for the relationship between Carmine, Chris, and the rebel organization to be announced by hostile forces, it will not be easy to draw a clear line and eliminate suspicion. It will also drag the relationship network behind them into the abyss, causing great harm to them.
Political opponents have exposed even more fatal flaws.
Only by saying it now can we divert everyone's attention to a certain extent and weaken the power of the hidden thunder. The most important thing is that Carmine is no longer able to fight against Verak and the Equality Society, so now we can only put the war on the bright side.
, bringing down the Brexi government.
Things will be easier after this.
Carmine and the network behind him refused to let go, insisting that the secret deal was fake, and started a public opinion war with hostile forces. This public opinion war does not seek victory, but only seeks to delay time. In a week, the diplomatic missions of various countries will
People are arriving in Lezein one after another, and the government must suppress this matter first no matter what.
After all, one of the main purposes of this World Exposition is to demonstrate strength. It does not do the government any good to make such negative news public at such a critical moment.
After suppressing it, it just stops.
People’s attention will be diverted by other news within a few days.
As for the Equality Society.
Today's Equality Society is no longer the organization that only talks on paper before, but an armed force initially equipped with weapons. In particular, Carmine directly connected the Equality Society with the World Exposition. In order for the World Exposition to be held smoothly as scheduled, the government
No matter what, this force that affects the country's stability must be completely eliminated within a week or half a month.
