MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 415 Temporary evacuation
July 23rd, 8:00 am
Bash Empire, Capital Winterhold, Peace Street
Quentin, Oscar, Stuart, and Connie, who had almost rested, came to the tavern to meet up, ready to start their respective tasks.
"Comrade Victor." Seeing that Verac didn't come, Quentin quietly asked the bartender Victor about last night's situation while the other three were having breakfast, "What happened last night? It was Bresina Did something happen?"
"Yes, but last night the crisis has been resolved, and now everything is moving in a good direction." Victor smiled and did not reveal the details. "For the specific situation, wait for Comrade Veraker to come and ask him."
"What time did Comrade Verak rest?"
"Five or six o'clock."
Verak probably only fell asleep for less than two hours. Quentin gave up his plan to know the situation now: "He should take a good rest first, and talk to him about Brecy's affairs at noon."
"Um."
Quentin went back to the cubicle and had breakfast with the three of them. While eating, they checked each other's actions.
When they finished their meal and were about to leave, Verak, who was supposed to be resting, appeared in front of the compartment door.
"Good morning everyone."
"good morning."
"good morning."
"Why are you here? I heard from Victor that you didn't rest until five or six o'clock." Quentin was quite surprised by Verak's appearance.
"Enough sleep." Verak looked very energetic, but he was certainly not exhausted. "Are you going to leave now?"
"Yes." Quentin nodded slightly, "I'm all ready, I have to use the time."
"Alright, be careful." Verak had no objection.
Seeing that Veraker was here, Quentin was not in a hurry to go out, and decided to ask what happened at Brecy's side last night first: "Comrade Veraker, what happened at Brecier's side yesterday, so that you can tell us about it." Is it?"
Connie, Oscar, and Stuart all looked at Veraker.
Veraker had known for a long time that they would be curious about the fact that he stayed in the cubicle last night to wait for the news. Just as the crisis was resolved, this matter was not only not a secret, but on the contrary, it could cheer up people's hearts, so he sat down and reported last night. He talked about the battle situation in the city and Puluo City.
"So many things happened last night..." Oscar imagined the battle of comrades in the rainy night in his mind.
"It's fine if you win." Connie said.
"It's a good thing you didn't tell us last night, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep." Stuart joked.
Quentin thought deeply: "In this way, we will be relatively less passive and have the conditions to organize a counterattack."
"Yes, the victories of these two battles have effectively thwarted the government army's edge, which is equivalent to stopping this mad bull that is running around. In the future, it will not be so difficult if they want to charge up and think about it. It's easy, and we can seize this opportunity to further expand our advantage and try to beat them back to Joseph County." Verac said.
"Then there will be more time left for Laizein to develop and grow. As long as the current situation can be maintained, we must be the final victors." Quentin and all comrades are very clear: the more time delays , the weaker the government army, the stronger the International League of Equality.
In a week, in a month, in two months, the situation will be very different on both sides.
"We have to hurry up and do something to pass the good news back." Stuart was very angry, and wanted to cheer up Brecy's comrades when they heard their news.
"Let's get things done on Heping Street first," Quentin said.
"Don't worry, the overall revolutionary work is about to make progress." Verak reassured the restless people, "The sub-station has a lot of information and has a clear arrangement for the next thing to do. Waiting for you After finishing here, Comrade Dai Qian, who broke into the government, and comrades who have stepped up to collect other information have almost completed their respective tasks. When the time comes to clean up the undercover traitors, we will do a big job here."
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
"Big fight!"
"Then let's go first." Quentin took the three of them out and scattered around the door of the tavern.
Verak didn't follow them, and didn't go out to see them off, but just yawned: "The speed is quite fast, I thought I had to watch them for another day today."
Victor wiped his wine glass: "Although they are immature, they are not bad at all."
"Yeah." Veraker was actually quite sleepy, and two hours was not enough for him to replenish his energy. "Then I have nothing to do, so I'll go back and catch up on sleep."
"Okay, just come over for lunch at noon."
"Call me if you need anything." Verak waved his hand, and went out to the small hotel diagonally opposite the tavern.
At the beginning of ten o'clock, the words came true, Victor hurriedly slammed on Verak's door, woke up Verak who had just slept for less than two hours, and reported the unexpected situation.
A few days ago, Cosmo, the sub-station chief, successfully broke into the government department, trying to steal the sub-station's undercover traitor list through the connection between the relevant department and the organization "Scavenger", the sub-station's undercover traitor Dai Qian, sacrificed.
Her sacrifice means that the Bash government and the scavengers know that the comrades at the substation are trying to break into their interior, and they will inevitably raise their vigilance to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Once this road is broken, there is only one way left for the sub-station to master the list, which is to find a way to directly break into the interior of the 'scavenger'.
"Ah..." Veraker sighed after mourning for Daisy who he had known not long ago.
The good news from Bresci's side keeps coming one after another. He has been in Bash for almost a month but he hasn't done anything yet. Fortunately, Boyin hadn't talked to him yet and asked him to explain the progress of the Bash Revolution, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say.
"Station Master Cosmo wants you to go back and discuss follow-up matters with them." Victor said.
"Hmm..." Verak was a little listless.
At present, there are not many reliable comrades in the sub-station, and the sacrifice of Comrade Dai Qian is another serious blow to them.
The most important thing is that there is no clue how to break through the difficulties and enter the interior of the Scavenger.
If this continues, the sub-station will collapse completely.
"Help me arrange it, and leave after noon." Verak wanted to go back now, but he didn't know how long this trip would take, so he decided to stay a little longer and wait for Quentin and the others to come back at noon before telling them to leave.
"Noon? Will it be too dangerous?" Victor asked.
"So I'll trouble you to make arrangements." Veraker is a person who does things on the fly, so he naturally doesn't want to delay until night.
"...Okay." Victor bit the bullet and responded.
At noon, Quentin and his group came back one after another. After listening to their respective progress in the morning, Verac gave them guidance respectively. After revealing that Comrade Daisy died and that he was going back, he hurriedly bid farewell to several people. Back to the basement secret site under the **** of Victor.
In the station, station master Cosmo, deputy station chief Vladislav, and combat team captain Arseni were all in a bad state. Seeing Verak come back, they all just nodded.
"Tell me about the specific situation." Verak carefully closed the door and asked.
Cosmo, with messy hair and unshaven beard, sat beside him with a crumpled cigarette in his hand: "...I suspect people in the government have already seen that Comrade Dai Qian is one of us, and they planned to let Comrade Dai Qian in just to Draw us out. Fortunately, we made an agreement with Dai Qian to wait for her to successfully steal the list before we meet again, otherwise our entire army will be wiped out this time..."
Verak knew that Daisy was a staunch person, but he still asked because of the one-in-a-million possibility: "Has the information about these secret sites and our arrival been leaked?"
"Comrade Daisy is not that kind of person, she will never say a word, don't worry..." Vladislav said.
"Hmm..." Verak couldn't stand the gloomy atmosphere, and after sitting for half a minute, he got up and paced back and forth, "It is definitely not possible to send people to try to break into the government now. First, they will be more vigilant, and second In the future, if they deliberately lure all of us to show up again, we will have no way of judging."
"Then what should we do now? You can't even get involved in these departments, let alone the scavenger itself." Arseni threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground, and repeatedly crushed it with his feet irritably.
Vladislav scratched his messy hair: "Can we temporarily abandon all suspected comrades now, and first integrate the forces we can use now to do things? We can't just keep hiding because we can't find an undercover agent!"
Cosmo closed his eyes: "Unless the undercover agents are caught, they are hidden mines buried in Winterhold. How long do you think we can avoid them? Can we bypass them and win the revolution?"
"The problem is that if we want to put this as the first problem to be solved, then nothing can be done." Vladislav was angry and guilty. He thought that the merger of the Mutual Aid Society and the Bash branch of the International Equality League was a strong alliance. Unexpectedly, the Workers' Mutual Aid Association not only failed to accomplish anything, but also almost dragged the sub-station of the International Equality League to death.
"Don't worry yet." Verak handed Vladislav a cigarette, "I have an idea."
The three looked up at Verak unanimously.
Wilak held the cigarette case, and said in a deep voice: "We will withdraw from Winterhold and go to other places to develop first, and come back when we have the strength."
"No." Cosmo refused, "Winterhold is the heart of Bash. If we can succeed in the revolution in Winterhold, the whole of Bash will respond. This is the fastest way for us to change here. If we go to another As time goes on, after the battle between Bash and Wellland and they can concentrate on us, even if we are in other places, our situation will not be better than it is now."
"Judging from the current situation, we still have a chance to go to other places. If we stay in Winterhold, we will really be dragged until the end of the war." Verak thought about this on the way here, "I know that the sub-station will enter Winterhold is not easy, and quitting now means we have to start all over again, but we have no choice."
"There must be a chance." Cosmo was unwilling to give up.
"There is no curfew in other places, there are no groups of patrol teams on the street, and there is no Maxim leading the scavenger every step of the way. We went to think that it should not be difficult to develop again." Arseni also agreed. This idea, "We have been in a stalemate in Winterhold for almost two months. If we had withdrawn long ago, we would not be powerless here, but are about to lead people back into Winterhold."
Cosmo frowned: "Do you think all this is caused by my indecision?"
"I didn't mean that." Arseni raised his hand, expressing his innocence.
"Calm and calm." Verak's tone became a little more serious, preventing the two from quarreling at this juncture. "I very much recognize Comrade Cosmo's persistence, and I also agree with Comrade Arseni's thoughts. Especially at this time, we The more decisive you have to be, if you want to evacuate, evacuate immediately, gather strength as soon as possible and fight back, if you want to stay, we must find a feasible way to break the deadlock. We can't wait like this, and wait for two months and still get nothing."
Cosmo also stood up, and Verac could only stop his feet: "Is this what Chairman Boin meant?"
"No." Verak and Cosmo faced each other, "Chairman Boyne hasn't taken the initiative to ask about the situation here. I decided this on the way here."
"Do you think Chairman Boyne will agree? He sent you here because he wanted you to lead the branch to do a better job, instead of evacuating Winterhold in a month."
"If it's not an option, what's the point of agreeing or disagreeing?" Virak asked.
Cosmo opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Before Veraker came, Boyne had notified him that the supreme command here would be handed over to him.
However, since Verac came here, he has always respected the opinions of the comrades in the sub-station, and has never decided anything forcefully and with great fanfare. He advocated evacuation this time, and he was still listening to the ideas of several people, and said that this was an unquestionable decision before he came up.
"Really...just give up on Winterhold just like that?" Cosmo knew that he couldn't beat Verak, and his tone weakened.
"Give up temporarily." Verak said solemnly.
"You have no idea how much effort we have put in to break into Winterhold..."
"Then let me ask you another question." Verak looked directly at Cosmo, "What do you think is breaking into Winterhold? Or, do you think we are hiding in the abandoned basement like this and dare not even go out? Have you entered Winterhold?"
Cosmo was speechless.
Their current situation is far from the expected 'invasion'. If this is not intrusion, then evacuation is not evacuation.
"I know that such an arrangement is difficult to accept, but rationally, this is the best way at present." Willak said.
"What about the other comrades? They are mixed with undercover agents and traitors. We can't contact them rashly, and we have to tell them when we evacuate." Cosmo thought of another obstacle to evacuation.
"This is really troublesome. We can't let the undercover traitors know our whereabouts, and we can't keep our comrades in the dark, but now it's hard to tell the enemy from us, and the news can't be spread..." Verak really wanted to discuss with the three of them when he came back Yes, exactly that.
