MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 464 to stay

  Boyin passed away, and Verac, as the leader of Montrego and his party, could still withstand it, put aside his grief, and tried his best to lead everyone to cheer up and continue working.

   But following the assassination of Morais, the terminal was in danger, and a series of plans on Montrego's side also collapsed, and he was a little at a loss.

  The charity dinner was in vain, and the cooperation with the Guard Corps was in vain. With very little funds left, they still supported more than 20 children with food and accommodation.

   What to do next?

  The room is very quiet, everyone is worried about the safety of the terminus and their current situation.

   "We... want to go back?" Murphy looked at Verak.

  Verak was taken aback, and didn't answer, deliberately avoiding Murphy's gaze.

Because he was thinking about this matter, but changing Montrego was an agreement he made with Diaz and Murphy, and now he left without doing anything. He didn't know how to face Diaz and Murphy, Facing the villagers of Shuang Naga Village, facing the twenty or so children who had just rekindled their expectations for life.

"The government army's assassination is clearly aimed at the candidate for the chairman of the alliance." Murphy kept his eyes on Veraker. "Except for Boyne, there are not many who can take on this important task. Among the four vice-chairmen of the alliance, Mo Rice has already sacrificed, Joseph came to sit on the front line, and secondly, he joined for a short period of time, which is not enough for people to be convinced. Mr. Keating was ordered to be the new chairman of the alliance. The problem is... who can guarantee that Mr. Keating is Absolutely safe? Who can guarantee that only one Elton has been infiltrated by government forces?"

   "Like Joseph, I still don't have the qualifications to be a candidate." Verac told the truth, he didn't think much about whether he would be qualified to take over if Keating had an accident one day, and mainly wanted to contribute to the general station.

   "Then tell me, once Mr. Keating dies, who will be the chairman of the alliance to take care of the overall situation?" Murphy asked.

  Verak didn't speak.

   There are not many comrades of the older generation left, and the rest are either embarrassed to take on the task, or they are arranged to go to sub-stations around the world to guide the revolution.

   There are quite a few talented comrades with junior qualifications, but none of them can be directly promoted to the chairman of the alliance.

  The chairman of the alliance must not only have excellent abilities, but also be able to coordinate the work of all parties, accurately judge the situation, and make major decisions with courage, and must be generally recognized by comrades.

  Only in this way can we bring confidence to comrades in an uncertain situation, and lead the International Equality Alliance out of the haze like a torch.

   Originally, there was such a candidate, and that was Morais.

  As the person second only to Byne in the International Equality League, other comrades will hardly have any objections when he takes over as the chairman of the alliance.

   It's just that no one thought that Elton would be a lackey of the government army and shot and killed Morais.

   Fortunately in misfortune, after him, there is Keating.

   Keating joined the Equality Association and the International Equality League not too early or too late. Like Verac, he became one of the most indispensable people in the International Equality League purely by virtue of his outstanding ability.

  The most important thing is that whether it is the training class of the Equality Association at the beginning, or the large-scale alliance head school in the end, it is all run by him. It can be said that more than half of the mainstays of the International Equality League have been taught and trained by him, and they have to call 'teacher' when they see him.

  With the support of these 'students', his prestige is extremely high, coupled with his profound attainments in economics, politics, military affairs, theory, etc., he can't find fault in solving problems everywhere, and he is well-deserved as the chairman of the alliance.

  The problem is, after Keating, there is no overwhelming candidate.

Verac's legendary deeds are widely circulated in Brecy, and most of the sub-stations in other places have dealt with him personally, and admire him, but he neither has rich experience in leading troops like Morais, nor As versatile as Keating, it is very difficult to sit in this position.

  This is also the reason why Boyin had arranged for him to be responsible for assisting the revolutions of various sub-stations and linking the revolutionary forces of the world together.

  Everyone has their own strengths, and the overall excellence cannot cover up the existence of shortcomings.

"I know you have the idea of ​​going back to help the terminus through this difficult time. It's just that you and I have a promise, so I'm too embarrassed to say it. It's okay, I don't mind at all, and I want to go back too." Murphy eased Verac's concerns, "The situation in Montrego is far less urgent than that in Breci. After we return from Breci, we can still carry out the revolution in Montrego, but if the main station is over, how can we go on?"

"I'm really considering whether to go back." Seeing Murphy being so straightforward, Verac didn't hide his thoughts, "The question is, how do we tell Lopez and the others? What should we do with those children after we leave ?Even if we go back to Brisey, what can we do?"

"Lopez and the others can go with us. As for the children, in addition to the travel expenses back home, we can refund the hotel rent and clothes, and leave the rest of the money to them. The money should be enough to help them survive the winter. , when the crisis at Brisey is resolved, we can come back and help.” Murphy answered one by one, “It’s hard to say what kind of help is needed at the terminus. If you ask Mr. Keating, he will definitely let us not worry. , but I think as long as we go back, we will be able to help Teacher Keating and the others share some pressure."

   "Either go back..." Connie couldn't help but followed up and said, "I will swear to protect you and Comrade Keating."

  Verak was extremely entangled: "...Let me think again."

   On one side is the terminus where the front line is in a hurry and the people in the rear are in panic, and on the other side is Montrego, whose plan has completely collapsed and is helpless.

   This choice seems like a good one to make.

  Verak himself didn't know why he was hesitating. He only felt an invisible hand grabbing his ankle, begging him not to leave.

   It is unknown whether the source of this hand and this voice is Montrego's suffering, or his own high demands and dissatisfaction with himself.

   Lopez couldn't understand the conversation between the three of them in Bresci, and had been working hard to analyze and guess. After Verack and the others fell silent again, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Murphy, "Comrade Murphy, the situation at Brisey is so bad, you should go back and help first."

  Murphy still wanted to discuss the result with Verac before discussing with Lopez and the others. When he heard that Lopez took the initiative to support them to go back, he couldn't help being stunned: "...you..."

"We don't understand Bresci, so going with you will only add to the confusion, and I know that there is not much money left, so instead of spending all of it on the way to Bresci, it's better to save some money for the children Use it for winter." Lopez was ashamed when he said that, they couldn't help much, and they increased the financial burden on Verac and others.

   "Then what do you do?"

   "We can talk." Lopez straightened his back, "They are all big men with plenty of strength. It is not a problem to make a living here, and they can take care of those children."

   "Villac." Murphy translated the content to Verac, "Lopez offered us to go back to support the terminal, and they are afraid of dragging us down, they want to stay here to find a job when we come back, and take care of those children by the way."

  Villac looked at Lopez, De, Obrador, Yanez, and Muskis.

Murphy said: "The situation in Montrego is too complicated. If we can't cooperate with Porfirio and Gonzalez, we can only develop slowly. There is actually a difference between establishing a sub-station sooner or later. Not much. If we can go back and help the General Station to resolve the crisis as soon as possible, maybe it can affect here instead, open up the situation earlier, and take a real shortcut."

   "This is your hometown." Verak wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the cigarette case was empty, "I know you are the one who can't wait to change this place..."

"If there is a big problem at the terminus, there will be no hope for Meng Lege. That's why I proposed to go back to Brexi first. You don't have to bear any burden. You think I'm doing this for your personal thoughts." Mo Fee emphasized why she said so.

"I need to think about this matter again." Verac was a little irritable, and took a cigarette handed over by Lopez, "It will take two months to go back and forth from here to Lezein. How long can the stability be maintained? The warlords captured this place before we came back, do you think it is possible for us to deter them when we come back?"

"The key is what we can do in Montrego, or what we can do when we go back to Bracey, which is more important? Losing the source of funds for the charity dinner and the opportunity to cooperate with the Guard Corps, we may not even be able to do this this winter. I can’t hold on.” Murphy insisted on going back to Laizein first, “I personally think that the most feasible way is to wait for us to go back and get through the difficulties with Mr. Keating and the others first, and then bring more strength to strive for the Spring Festival. Time to return to Montrego and negotiate with Porfirio and the others."

"If we don't show up and leave directly, Porfirio must guess that we are too busy to take care of ourselves. At that time, he is very likely to select a suitable backer from the warlords as quickly as possible." After careful consideration, Wei Luke finally made a decision in his heart, "However, winter is coming soon, and the warlords have to wait until the weather gets warmer to decide the outcome. Although we can't let Porfirio take refuge boldly now, let them It should be feasible to stay on the sidelines and wait for a while before choosing a backer.”

   "Have you decided to go back?"

   "Before that, we still have to go to the casino to meet Gonzalez." Verac said.

  —

after an hour

  Monrego City, inner city, casino

   The casino is extremely lively.

  Although people lose their fortunes here every day, there seems to be some magic power here that makes people flock to it forever.

  The owner of the casino, Gonzalez, didn’t have time to greet the guests today, so he followed suit. Instead, he flipped through today’s newspaper over and over again in the office with a face full of shock.

   "Byne and Morais of the International Equality League are actually dead..." He muttered to himself, feeling sorry for this.

   As far away as Montrego, he knew that Boyne and Morais were the two core members of the International Equality League.

  One of them died of illness and the other died of an assassination. The International Equality Alliance will inevitably suffer a great impact.

  The result was not as he expected. More than half of the content published in the newspaper was that the Briesi government army broke through several sections of the Equality Army's defense line one after another, expanding its advantage.

   It seems that the cooperation has failed.

  Gonzalez thought.

  The main station of the International Equality Alliance is about to be beaten away by the government forces, so what are the people in Montrego. At this time, it is a dream to rely on the International Equality Alliance and expect them to help me and my uncle fight against the warlords.

   Just when Gonzalez regretfully picked up the phone and was about to contact his uncle, a subordinate knocked on the office door.

   "Come in." Gonzalez kept moving his hands, holding the phone to his ear.

   "Boss." The subordinate walked into the office and bowed slightly to Gonzalez, "There are a few people outside who want to see you."

   "No time." Gonzales is now anxious to discuss with his uncle to choose a new backer.

   "It's the ones you met at the Montrego City Daily."

   "Two men and one woman?!" Gonzalez quickly put down the phone to confirm who was coming.

"right."

  The main station of the International Equality Alliance is on fire, and Verak dares to bring someone to meet him to talk about taking refuge? !

  Is he crazy? !

   Could it be that he feels that he and his uncle are still willing to cooperate with the International Equality League? !

   "Let them come here." Gonzalez was suspicious, waiting to see what Verak would say when the International Equality League was at a disadvantage.

   After a while, the subordinates searched their bodies, and after confirming that Verac, Murphy, and Connie were not armed, they brought the three of them to the office.

  Villac was still confident, and before Gonzales could say anything, he sat on the sofa opposite him.

  Murphy and Connie stood on both sides of him as usual.

   "Long time no see." Gonzales greeted with a smile, and at the same time deliberately pushed today's newspaper to a prominent position on the desk.

   "It seems that you also know." Verak glanced at the newspaper on the table and said.

   "Yes, I am deeply sorry for the deaths of Mr. Boyne and Mr. Morais." Gonzalez said politely, and specially used the unfamiliar word "sir" to distance himself from Verac and others.

"Thank you." Verac could see that Gonzalez was backing off and that he no longer planned to cooperate with the International Equality League. He didn't go around the corner and said directly, "After hearing such news, I think you and Porfirio must be right. Has the International Equality League shaken?"

"Well..." Gonzalez drew his voice and organized his words, "Since you are straightforward, I can't help but say it. Indeed, the current situation of the International Equality League makes my uncle and I deeply worried. I want to change it to you , in the face of such an unexpected situation, we will definitely reconsider the original arrangement.”

  Verak nodded: "There is nothing wrong with that."

   "So, I don't think this matter is very suitable for discussion now at least. The situation at the International Equality League Headquarters needs to be resolved first." Gonzales said.

   "That's right." Verak responded, "However, I think it is very necessary for you to have a clearer understanding of this matter."
