Twenty Seven Years Chapter 258

  Chapter 258 Checking progress Boyin leaves

  February 19th

  Villac, who has nothing to do for the time being, went to Manchester City again, looking for Monroe to follow up the dissemination of "Equality" and other books.

In Minke's tavern, Monroe smelled of alcohol, and when Verac asked about it, he danced and said about the situation: "I can't promise you anything else, just talking about the degree of communication and completion, my side is definitely better than Lao Jin and Ruffalo and them are much better."

"Why are you so confident?" Since Monroe drank too much two days ago and said openly that he was very interested in the Equality Society and had the intention to join, the relationship between Veraker and him became closer. There is a sense of intimacy.

"I have people distribute books door-to-door, and only to those who can read, so that the value is maximized, and the books in hand are not so nervous. Basically, anyone who can read can receive them." Monroe explained that he was full of confidence. The reason for being full, "After that, I arranged for those who could read to help the few illiterate people around me to read, so that all of them were covered."

   After listening to Monroe carefully, Veraker asked his own question: "Then how do you ensure that literate people will read with their heart? Will they tell illiterate people with heart? Can illiterate listen with heart?"

"What I just said is exactly the same method as Lao Jin and Ruffalo." Monroe had expected that Verak would ask this question, showing a mastery smile, "The next thing is the real difference. They will be gone after this step, and I have equipped enough rewards and punishments to lure and deter them."

   "We don't force anyone. If you do this, if you offend others, it will have a bad impression on our equality—" Verac immediately stopped Monroe's behavior with a straight face.

  He also thought that Monroe had some wonderful way to achieve their goals comprehensively and efficiently, but he didn't realize that it was a threat to others, which would ruin the reputation of the Equality Association.

   "It's not that serious, just listen to me first." Monroe interrupted Veraker, "I can assure you that there will be no one who can't satisfy my request in front of the reward I released."

   "What reward?" Verak was still frowning.

  Munro said word by word: "As long as you read all these books and pass the inspection, you can permanently exempt the protection fee."

  When Veraker first came to Manchester City, he learned that people in Manchester City were paying protection fees to the Sea Rat Gang, and the Sea Rat Gang was responsible for protecting them in this place full of hostility and exclusion.

   Canceling the collection of protection fees is equivalent to cutting off most of the income of the Sea Rat Gang.

   "This..." Veraker's anxiety disappeared, "You don't know how much this has affected the Sea Rat Gang."

"I don't think it has any effect." Monroe slumped back on the chair, "If it can make them really read all the books, and really have something in their minds, and win this battle, then they will actually use it in the future." It's not about us. No one is going to be bullied and doesn't need to be protected."

   "The punishment—"

   "Punishment is nothing more than scaring them with my name. Even if someone really didn't finish the book, I can't do anything because of it. Don't worry." Monroe assured Veraker.

   Seeing that Monroe was sober, Verac knew what he said was true: "I don't worry."

"Don't lose the chain on your side. No matter what goes wrong during this matter, you have to guarantee that we will win. Otherwise, our status quo will not be changed in the end, and the Sea Rat Gang will not charge protection fees. That's true. It's a big loss." Monroe said.

"I assure you, we will win." Verac did not drink, and at Monroe's request, solemnly made a promise, "When fighting the government, the Equality Society will rush to the forefront, and I will rush to the front." To the front of the Equality Association."

   "I believe you." Monroe readily believed.

  Villac talked about the topic of Monroe drunk that day: "After winning, do you have any thoughts?"

   "You mean what will I do next?"

"Um."

   "I... Didn't I say that the other day, I'm very interested in your Equality Association, and I might join you at that time." Monroe put the wine glass on the table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

  Verak was curious about this point: "I'm actually quite surprised that you want to join the Equality Association."

"Are you surprised? I wonder what's so special about joining equality? Don't you always say that equality will be right, and as long as everyone realizes what is right, they will spontaneously join you?" Monroe asked repeatedly, " I also said the reason that day. I was tired of this kind of life a long time ago, but I didn't know what to do when I went out, so I just kept doing it. Now that you have appeared, I think what you are doing is quite meaningful, and I can feel a kind of sincerity from you, I am more intriguing, and I yearn for you to be like this."

   "I represent the Equality Association, and you are very welcome to join." Verak stretched out his hand.

"Stop, I haven't said that I want to join. I'll wait until we see how you guys are fighting the government." Monroe didn't shake hands with Verack, but got up with a cigarette in his mouth, "Come on, get out See how they look."

  Verak shook his head and smiled, got up and followed.

   The two of them were walking on the street. There were obviously fewer pedestrians today than before. Monroe swore to the conclusion: "They must be too busy reading books to come out."

   "How sure?" Verak asked with a smile.

   "How can you be sure? Just ask someone and ask if it is right." Monroe picked a restaurant at random and strode into it.

Now that the meal is approaching, it stands to reason that everyone in the restaurant should be busy, and there will be customers coming one after another, but the strange thing is that the restaurant is very deserted, only six or seven people are sitting around the table, holding books and communicating with each other wearing something.

   Monroe came in and caught their eye.

   After the old man Hopkins saw him, the book in his hand fell on the table with a "click": "Mr. Munro."

   Others felt very nervous when they saw that it was Monroe.

   "What is your usual reputation that makes people so afraid." Seeing everyone's panic, Verak couldn't help asking.

   "That's all in the past, how can you deter others if you are not fierce." Monroe waved his hand, "Don't be so nervous, how is the book?"

   "Should we start checking now? The few of us who are literate just read it overnight, maybe..." Hopkins was afraid that something big would happen.

   "No, I just came over to take a look first." Monroe came to the table and touched the head of the waiter Charlie, "How many illiterate people are there?"

   Hopkins said: "There are seven of us in total, four of whom cannot read. The restaurant is closed now, and we are reading books."

   "You just said that those of you who are literate have already read it roughly? Verac, do you want to take a test?" Monroe sat at the table and glanced at the few people who were silent.

  Villac was also curious about whether Monroe's method would work in this short period of time, so he asked a few simple questions.

  Literate Hopkins, chef Harris and others helped each other and answered Veraker's question satisfactorily.

   "How is it?" Monroe crossed his legs and asked Verak proudly.

   "Yes, according to this progress, everyone can have a basic understanding of these things within a week." Verak was completely relieved about this matter.

"You guys understand, and don't forget to tell these illiterate people." Monroe rubbed Charlie's head, who didn't dare to move, "We'll check it out in due time, and if they do, everyone's happy, if they don't Yes, Hywell should have already said what the result will be."

  Hopkins nodded again and again: "Yes, don't worry."

   "Okay, I won't bother you, let's continue studying." Monroe knew that he would put pressure on these people, so he didn't stay long after checking their progress, and left the restaurant with Verak.

   "You did a good job, but you are too unfriendly to the people." Verac saw the scene where Monroe passed and the pedestrians avoided him, and he didn't know what to say about him.

   "Don't let them be afraid of me, I can't do many things." Monroe didn't talk to Verak about the gang's affairs, and focused on showing off his achievements. "Old King and Ruffalo are definitely no match for me."

  Villac corrected Monroe's thoughts: "What is there to compare this thing to? I was thinking, how can they do things well in such an efficient way."

   "Don't think so much. If they really want to win, they will have a long-term vision and will do their best in this matter."

  Republic of Bresci, Lezein, North District Factory

The Equality Association held a regular meeting. The current two principals of the Equality Association, Boyne and Morais, and a group of cadres, Intelligence Minister Charles, Piaf, Nord, Diaz, who was promoted to the Minister of Propaganda, Murphy and others were present.

  After listening to the detailed work reports in the past few days, Boyne and Morais made comments and instructions respectively, and they brought up the matter of Dunman.

"Comrade Keating and Comrade Verac are on Dunman's side, assisting Comrade Sara and Comrade Yves who were transferred from the Richey substation to establish the Dunman substation. Next, they want to take advantage of the new conscription in Dunman. The legal affairs are intensifying, firing the first shot of equality over there." Sitting in front of the conference table, Morais said, "It is foreseeable that when helping the people of Dunman to abolish the unequal new conscription law, they will inevitably There will be a frontal and direct armed conflict with the government, so at the request of Comrade Keating, we prepared a batch of weapons in Kip City and immediately shipped them to the old South Treaty Organization to provide support."

"This is the first time we have provided help to people abroad. I think this is very important. It is not only conducive to expanding our momentum, but also conducive to the awakening of Dunman's local consciousness. Therefore, we need to send people to follow to ensure that the weapons are safe. , Arrive in the Old South Testament in time." Boin then said.

  Hearing that there was an opportunity to go out and join Verak in a legitimate way, Nord put aside the difficulty of the task, and was the first to raise his hand: "I am willing to be responsible for the transportation of weapons."

   "I am willing too." Diaz followed suit and raised his hand.

   "Me too." Murphy said.

   "But the person responsible for transporting the weapons has already been decided." Boyne finished his unfinished sentence, "I will personally lead the team to transport the weapons."

Piaf raised an objection: "As for the transportation of weapons, I think we can send Nord, Diaz, and Murphy to the past. You and Comrade Morais should stabilize our situation in Lezein. Now as we open the situation , All kinds of organizations are blooming in Laizein, some advocate constitutionalism, some engage in assassinations and terrorist attacks, and we have to continue to accelerate development under the impact of many parties.”

"I think helping Dunman fire the first shot is an attempt that we value very much, and it is also an important part of development. If it succeeds this time, it means a lot to us." Boin looked at Piaf calmly, " The fact that I've transported the weapons myself to help makes sure things don't go wrong."

   "I agree with Comrade Piaf's opinion. As the president..." Nord wanted to fight for it.

"I am talking about this matter, not to discuss candidates with you, but to inform you. Because my trip is not only to transport weapons and assist them to fire the first shot smoothly." Boyne said, "My real purpose is to To Pullman."

   Now the only one who is linked to Pruman by the Equality Association is the advanced organization that shocked them.

   "Do you want to go to Pluman with comrades Verac and Keating to find that organization?" Diaz asked.

"Yes."

   "But why did you choose this time?" Some people were puzzled.

  If Boyin wanted to go, he could have resisted all the arguments early in the morning and traveled with Veraker and Keating. Why wait until now.

   "Because the search for the Pruman organization has already come to fruition." Byin looked at Intelligence Minister Charles.

Charles understood, and told everyone in the conference room the latest news compiled by the intelligence department: "After the unremitting efforts of our comrades, we finally found the person who wrote the Internationale. His name is Winston, and he graduated from the Pluman Empire. University, once worked for a famous newspaper, but was expelled from the newspaper because he published many reports criticizing the government. After being expelled, he devoted himself to researching theories with the help of his friends and lived a life in hiding.”

   "Did our people get in touch with him?" Piaf asked, intrigued by the incident.

   "He published a lot of articles through various channels, which had a very bad influence on the Pruman government, so the Pruman government has been tracking down his whereabouts, and our people have not acted rashly." Charles replied.

   "I really want to meet Winston, so I have to go." Boyne said.

Morais with his arms crossed and his chest pondered: "When I first got the news, I had a chat with Boyin. Although he personally went to have a certain influence on us, I think he must go. In-depth communication with Winston on behalf of Comrade Chris's theory of equality.”

  Even Morais agreed with Boyne's past, and it was difficult for others to say anything.

   "I agree with Comrade Boyne's decision." Facing major events, Diaz did not insist on transporting weapons by himself.

   "I also agree." After learning about Winston, Piaf also changed her opinion.

  Nord is a little depressed, but he knows that such an important matter can only be stabilized if Boyne goes: "...I agree."

   "Agreed."

   "Agreed."

"Then after the meeting is over, I will leave for Kip City, join the team transporting weapons, and head to the Old South Treaty, the capital of the United States of Dunman." Boyin nodded slightly to the cadres present, and closed his meeting minutes Book.
