Booker slowly climbed down along the cable of the airship's airbag. It wasn't until he broke into the cockpit that he realized he was on the Revolutionary Army's ship.
The leader of the Colombian rebels is here, a black woman named Daisy, accompanied by her officers. They pointed their guns at Booker.
"Don't get excited." Booker raised his hands and squinted his eyes as he quickly looked around. There were nine people, eight men and one woman, all black. If there was a conflict, regardless of casualties, Booker could resolve the fight in about three minutes.
"Dear white man, why do you come to our ship?" Daisy's indifferent ridicule did not imply intimacy.
Booker frowned, "You followed the First Lady all the way."
"Scrap metal that was torn into pieces by Nightingale." Daisy instructed her escort officer to collect the equipment on Booker's body. "You haven't answered my question yet, assassin."
"I fell off that boat, thank you for the boat, otherwise I would have fallen to my death."
"I never believe in coincidences, especially in Colombia." Daisy's plump lips rolled, reminding Booker of grass-eating cows, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I'm not Colombian, I'm from the surface."
"Who isn't?" They laughed loudly, and the security officer beside Booker gently scratched the edge of the trigger with his fingernail, making a thin crunching sound.
"The point is not that," Booker said. "The point is that we have a common enemy. Comstock, the ruler of Colombia, and the ruling class of Colombia."
"The revolutionary army refuses the white-skinned pigs to join, but we can cooperate." Daisy tilted her head, her expression dark and quiet, showing a kind of gentle coldness, the same as all white colonists.
"Is this how you call yourself the Voice of the People so carelessly?" Booker roared angrily. His words were so fierce and sudden that everyone trembled.
Daisy stared into Booker's eyes uneasily, "What do you want to say?"
"It's really shameless for the revolutionary army to reject the white-skinned pigs. If you people of color feel that you are being oppressed, you have to return your anger to all white people. Who do you think will be hurt more? Who will benefit more?
?The Scots are discriminated against in Colombia just like you. Do you think they are not white? I only ask one question, do you think you are the voice of the people or the voice of black people? Answer me!"
The officers hesitated, and Daisy turned her head slightly to avoid Booker's gaze, "Of course it's the Voice of the People. We represent the people of Finkton..."
"Don't change the subject. The people in Finkton are the people you talk about. But what about the people in the main city of Columbia?"
"Those are just white gentlemen!" the officers replied.
"Many employees of companies also have nothing and are oppressed and exploited. Can you say that they are masters?"
"They treat us just as badly!"
"That's precisely because of lies! The white people at the bottom are living in poverty, but their life pressure is transferred to the people of color and Scots with lower wages, so that they can be complacent and forget the fact that they are also slaves. They are us
partners, and some of your so-called noble lords also
You can also be won over by us. If you are so ignorant and lack theoretical guidance, you will never succeed. Without charisma, you will only bring atrocities. This atrocities cannot change the Colombian system. After the fire in the sky is extinguished, Kang
Mstock and his disciples will come back."
The officers were shocked and said, "Please come to the podium quickly!"
Daisy pursed her lips and took two steps back unconsciously, "What's your name? Who are you?"
"Booker DeWitt. Hello, my name is Booker DeWitt."
"We need to talk alone."
"Okay." Booker nodded, and after the officers left, he revealed his heart to the leader of the People's Voice, "I will help you as much as possible. I have been assisting the revolutionary cause in the Far East. Strictly speaking, I am not
I'm not a complete revolutionary, but I know how people become revolutionaries. You need my help, and I need your help. I need you to help me overthrow the rule of the Prophet and defeat the one named
Nightingale's monster, and then rescues a girl."
"A girl? Who is she? What is her relationship to you?"
Booker pursed his lips and said, "He's just a poor man. We just met him not long ago."
"Are you willing to take such a risk for a stranger you just met? I don't believe that you are either a madman who despises life, or you have fallen in love with that girl."
"No, it's just that I owe her. I owe her a debt, and I need to pay it back at all costs."
Daisy is a decisive person. According to Colombian official reports, she was once the maid of the first lady, but she shamelessly murdered her and escaped with donations.
"That's not the case," she explained.
"I'm not a judge. If you need to confess, I suggest you find a lawyer." Booker's expression was serious, and there was always anxiety in his eyebrows. "Time is running out, and I want to tell you the real theory in the shortest possible time.
I'm bringing you Paris in 1871. Finkerton needs to be united, and so are the white proletarians in the main city.
Come, and at the same time, we need to have clear discipline within our team. It may be done quickly, half a month, or it may take a long time, half a year. I can’t do everything myself. You are the leader of the People’s Voice. Allow me to honor you.
Introducing two Germans and a Russian, I hope you will turn all your hatred into a passion for learning, let's get started."
…
The power of the Revolutionary Army cannot be underestimated. Booker was surprised to find that their total strength actually exceeded that of the Colombian Guard, but they were at an absolute disadvantage in the competition between weapons, equipment and superpowers. Since Booker joined,
A new platform is being shaped within the ranks of the People's Voice
A young but reliable vanguard was created, and the mobilization capacity of the Revolutionary Army was greatly increased for a time. Workers, homeless people and abandoned people in Finkton joined one after another. In just one week, the number of members of the reserve team reached
Two thousand people, this is almost the total number of adult humans in Finkton.
They occupied the Fink Industrial factory and looked for experienced gunsmiths to design production lines. A large number of guns and ammunition flowed out of the factory and were equipped for the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army. Correspondingly, the police force was cut off from the source of weapons supply.
After the entire "fall" of the factory area, new bad news was published in Colombian newspapers and periodicals. The People's Voice occupied several important ports and cut off most of Colombia's trade routes with the ground. The People's Voice finally recovered from the scabies epidemic.
Developed into a formidable enemy that threatened the Prophet's rule.
Booker had a premonition that he had done a great job. If Colombia can really become a new revolutionary force, what huge changes will it bring to the entire world with its excellent scientific and technological capabilities and military standards?
! Even if New Colombia still maintains its isolation policy, the symbolic meaning of its existence can already be inspiring. Paris, Paris is in Colombia, and the tragedy of 1871 will not happen.
When he thought of this, he couldn't wait to find Elizabeth. Booker wanted to share this joy with her. At this time, twenty-two days had passed since she was taken away by the nightingale.
Finally, after inquiring from various sources, Booker received news from the undercover agent who worked in the kitchen at the police station. A girl suspected to be Elizabeth had appeared at the Columbia Police Headquarters. About two days ago, she was taken to the Prophet Comstock's house.
Mansion.
The People's Voice is willing to dedicate an armed force of 300 people to help Booker, but will not cooperate in launching a general offensive. This rescue operation should be resolved quickly. If it is delayed for too long, a steady stream of guards will kill Booker and the others.
annihilate.
In order to stop the possible emergence of the biochemical monster Nightingale, the Revolutionary Army will send two giant armsmiths. Such a team is already considered luxurious. Booker thanked these friends for their help, packed his bags, and took advantage of the night to board the airship and set off.
