Oliver's expression finally changed. He slowly widened his eyes and looked at Schiller with a shocked expression. Schiller took a deep breath, smiled at him, and said, "Are you surprised? I am.
It doesn’t look like it, right?”
"But... aren't you... aren't you German?" Oliver held it in for a long time, and finally he could only say this sentence. Suddenly, he was stunned again. He looked at Schiller and asked: "You were not born in
Berlin, right? East Berlin??? Or West Berlin to the east???”
"You are very smart, Oliver, but it actually has nothing to do with it. My experience should be very similar to yours. You should also have been exposed to Marxism in college, right?"
"I'm not...I..." Oliver tilted his head and said: "I just read some works, the most famous ones, and it has been a long time ago..."
"Then have you forgotten?"
Oliver pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then he said, "You should know that as long as you read those theories in depth, you will never forget them."
Schiller smiled again and said: "Of course I know, that's why I dare to tell you, but even if you are not a Marxist, your attitude towards these things is not like a descendant of a capitalist at all.
You should enjoy all this as you should."
"Nothing should have been done!" Oliver was a little angry. He felt that he had been humiliated. He said: "I can't decide where I was born! If I could, I would rather be born in a slum than spend money stained with blood!
"
Schiller showed an unsurprising expression. The reason why he dared to say this to Oliver was because he knew that in the comics, Green Arrow was a left-wing hero. He was an officially recognized Marxist and would also celebrate the holidays.
When I was young, I would give the book "Das Kapital" to other heroes.
Moreover, his and Green Lantern Hal’s heroic comic series is the most famous and far-reaching left-wing comic series in history. Although many of the issues discussed in it do not touch on the origin and appear to be relatively conservative, it is still a
It is a representative comic that cares about and sympathizes with the people at the bottom. Before this, no comic has ever discussed such a realistic issue.
The Green Arrow in the comics decided to become a hero only after he returned from surviving on an isolated island and witnessed the misery of many people at the bottom. Although there is no specific description of this transformation in the comics, the ideological pillar cannot be two people a day.
It was built within days.
Therefore, Schiller speculated that Oliver, the Green Arrow, could not have been exposed to Marxism after returning from the island. He should have read relevant works before. At least, his thoughts are left-leaning.
Although it sounds very miraculous, the descendant of a big capitalist is actually a Marxist, but in this era, it is actually normal. Regardless of the old aristocracy or the petty bourgeoisie, there are always many people who bring their own dry food.
, Philby is the best example.
However, it is obvious that Oliver is still in a confused stage. The Marxist works he has read can answer his theoretical questions, but they cannot provide him with more favorable ideological weapons. He is still in the stage of thinking out of thin air.
So the more I think about it, the more confused I become. …
"I know that you have learned a lot of knowledge from those works, and those theories will answer many questions for you, but there are always more questions than answers in this world. For example, how did Mexico develop into what it is?
Like this? How to solve this situation?"
"Maybe you have thought of some methods, but you are not sure whether they are too violent, whether they are feasible, or if they are, how can they be implemented?"
Oliver stared at Schiller with his eyes. He felt his heart echoing continuously. He pursed his lips but did not speak, and Schiller said:
"You feel very guilty for this, and feel that you have derived wealth from the pain and death of others, but the emotion of guilt cannot drive you to go on that path. If you can't really have a certain determination, then
There is no point in blaming yourself."
Oliver rubbed the palms of his hands. After a long time, he asked: "What do you think I should do? Should I read those books again? Can I find the answer in them?"
"That depends on whether you are willing to pay the price."
Oliver raised his eyes and stared directly at Schiller. He heard something else in Schiller's tone. Oliver understood the hint, so he began to feel that his throat was dry.
He took a deep breath, poured himself a large glass of water with trembling arms, drank it all in one gulp, and slammed the cup on the coffee table, his facial muscles trembling a little.
"You want... to let me join? I think, I..." Oliver began to swallow his saliva crazily. He knew that he was making a dangerous decision. This might be the last step to fall into the abyss, but it might also be...
At the last second of facing the dawn, he just felt that he knew nothing and he didn't want to know anything.
"No, I'm just introducing you to a subject, a theory, and a method. I won't ask you to do anything. You can just pretend that none of today's conversations have happened."
Judging from the look in Oliver's eyes, Schiller knew that he must have misunderstood something. Schiller did want to cause trouble, but he did not want to develop Oliver into an offline person. After all, he himself was no longer a KGB person.
As for the identity of the spy agent from the 16th Bureau of the Soviet National Security Agency, Schiller just made it up casually. He didn't know which bureau he was in, so he just picked a number that sounded good to him. After all, he didn't know who the original spy was.
Which department of the KGB did Le join?
"I have been looking for a way to completely solve all these problems. I know that both Arthur and Hal think I am dreaming, but I can't help but think about it, and I can't help but want to find an answer."
"When I was in college, I had this idea. My classmates thought I was a freak. Because of this, I came into contact with Marxism, hoping that it could give me an answer. At that time, I did get the answer.
Eucalyptus, I think I have found the only solution..."
"However, as more and more things happened, especially the tragedies I saw in Mexico, I began to doubt this answer, because I could not see a solution to this tragedy among these theories.
Possibility, I want to find another answer, but I don’t know where to look…”…
"Have you ever thought about it, that might indeed be the answer, but it's only half the answer." Schiller looked into Oliver's eyes, and Oliver looked at him too. Schiller didn't say anything more, just read the books in front of him.
He pushed forward and said:
"I think if you look at the answers summarized by people who have actually practiced this theory, you might be able to get a lot of inspiration."
Oliver swallowed and looked at the books. His fingertips were trembling a little. He was worried that it was not the correct answer, but at the same time, he was also worried that it was the correct answer.
Because he knew that if he really found all the answers, he might spend his whole life for his excess morality and conscience, devoting himself to a cause that was impossible to accomplish by himself, which made him feel both
There was unparalleled excitement and a hint of fear.
When he opened the first page of the first book and saw the first sentence, he knew that he had seen the first ray of dawn as he fell into the abyss of endless darkness.
"The most important difference between social groups is that the classes determined by the economic base, the bourgeoisie and the working class are always antagonistic, and the contradictions are irreconcilable."
Looking further down, Oliver felt his heart beating rapidly. The line of words read:
"The working class wants to overthrow the bourgeois regime, and violence is the only means."
On the other side, Keira and Lila have found the current person in charge of the Quinn Group, a shareholder of the Quinn Group named Williams. He is responsible for the maritime industry of the Quinn Group.
When the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration came to the door, Williams did not resist and told the whole situation.
The reason is that Congress spent a lot of money on the anti-drug war in 1984. No matter what group shareholder you are, as long as you get involved in this kind of business, there are ways to make you disappear without a trace.
Although it has reached the end of the Cold War, the lighthouse at this time is still bright. Although it is not as good as a few years ago, it is still much better than afterwards. From decision-making to execution, everything is in place. Therefore, the previous anti-drug war has given these coastal cities
Some of them had a sense of luck and left a deep impression, and Williams was no exception.
"My brother died in a shipwreck, but I know it was not a shipwreck. I know it was you who did it. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration... just because he wanted to fully cooperate with Guadalajara, you let him
Disappeared..." Williams said tremblingly.
"But you have to know that too many people have benefited from it, and there is nothing I can do about it. If I want to shut down all this kind of business, I will be killed the next day, and they will replace me with someone more useful.
, I can only do this..." Williams said with a cry.
"who are they?"
"There are too many people, I can't help it..."
"Tell them their names one by one." Lila took out the tape recorder and said, "We will protect the tainted witnesses, provided that you provide enough information."
Williams sniffed. His fat body kept shaking, looking a little funny. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "You have to promise to protect me, my family, and my children. I
The child was born not long ago...”…
"That's why we came to you." Kayla knocked on the table and said: "You are different from those group of desperadoes who can do anything for money. Williams, we all know that, so you
Have the opportunity."
Williams swallowed his saliva and said: "Well, Old Tot is one of them, he pushed me the hardest... Paul, and Paul, the Italian, it was he who opened up the relationship with the customs..."
Williams named several more names. Kayla and Lila looked at each other, and Lila asked: "Where is the Quinn family?"
"Them?" Williams hesitated, then said: "The old Quinns are dead. The little Quinn who took over the Quinn family was ignorant and made a mess of the business. I'm not excusing him, but
With his business level, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to figure out this kind of business.”
"As far as I know, Old Tot seems to have arranged a shipwreck just because he didn't want little Quinn to get involved in this kind of business and was afraid that he would stop them from making money, hoping that he would be buried at sea."
"But I didn't expect that little Quinn survived the disaster and heard that he was coming back. I guess they must be thinking of ways to kill him again..."
Seeing Lila and Kayla staring at him together, Williams wiped the sweat from his forehead. He thought hard, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! By the way! Although he doesn't sell drugs, but...
…but he had other problems…”
Williams wiped his sweat again and said tremblingly: "My men heard Old Tot say outside the cabin that he had something to do with Little Quinn..."
"What's the handle?" Lila asked,
Williams glanced at Kayla and said: "This matter may be under the control of the CIA, that is..."
