Twenty Seven Years - Chapter 462
Chapter 462 Infiltration
October 25th, night
Bressey, Lazerin
On the surface, this city, which has been under the control of the International Equality League for more than four months, has long since lost signs of turmoil and chaos. At the same time, with the efforts to maintain stability through various channels, it is recovering vitality and prosperity at an alarming rate.
But in the dark, the top-secret information about Bo Yin’s death affects the overall offensive and defensive momentum of the International Equality Alliance, shaking the alliance facing countless challenges.
“Comrade Morais, please.”
In the closely guarded train station, Morais, who had secretly rushed back from the front line, was escorted by many comrades as soon as he arrived at the station, and boarded a car heading straight to Saint Roy Hospital.
“Has everyone else arrived yet?” Morais, who looked quite tired, with half of his hair gray in two nights, asked his comrades who were sitting in the back seat of the car with him.
“Comrade Keating, Comrade Winston, Comrade Piaf, and the cadres of various ministries are either waiting for you at St. Roy Hospital, or go to the Equality Building first.” Les went to the comrades at St. Roy’s Hospital.
“Have you got in touch with Comrade Verak?” Morais asked again.
“I just got in touch a few hours ago. Comrade Verac and the others have safely arrived in Monrego City, the capital of the Monrego Empire, and are preparing to establish a substation.”
Morais glanced at the still brightly lit street, with a long-lasting sadness in his eyes: “Did he… say anything?”
Comrade shook his head slightly: “After receiving the news, Comrade Verak only asked about the arrangement of the terminus, and then reported their work progress.”
“That’s fine…” Morais also didn’t know what to say when he learned about the situation, even though they all knew that Boyin’s physical condition was extremely bad, and bad news would come sooner or later, “How soon can we arrive?”
“About half an hour.”
“Afterwards, you urged other people to arrive at the Equality Building before midnight, and prepare for the overnight meeting.” Morais closed his eyes after finishing the arrangements.
Since he learned of Bo Yin’s death, he has not had a rest, and has been coordinating the work of all parties as the acting chairman, making preparations for resisting a full-scale impact after the news spreads.
During the half-hour journey, he actually wanted to preside over some work, but he lacked the conditions and was physically tired. He couldn’t do anything except take a short rest and try to recover some energy.
Half an hour later, the car passed the temporary blockade near St. Roy’s Hospital and arrived at the main entrance.
“Comrade Morais, we are here.” The comrade patted Comrade Morais lightly.
“Okay.” Morais looked at the hospital outside the car window, as if he felt that Boyne was in it, and felt a sudden colic in his heart. He quickly got out of the car and entered the hospital under the leadership of his comrades.
“Comrade Morais!”
“Comrade Morais!”
There are comrades guarding everywhere in the hospital. When they saw Morais, it was like seeing the backbone. They cheered up and shouted excitedly.
Morais really didn’t want to talk to other comrades. He just nodded and quickened his pace, and came to the ward where other people were.
“Comrade Morais.”
“Comrade Morais.”
All the cadres in the ward got up one after another and looked at Morais.
Morais glanced at Keating and the others headed by him, and said in a deep voice, “Where is Boyin?”
“In the ward next door.” Keating looked solemn, and led Morais to another room. There was only one bed covered with white cloth, and under the white cloth was the outline of a person.
“Just… put him here all the time?” Morais stepped forward slowly, and lifted a corner of the white cloth in disbelief.
“This is the only way to block the news, but we don’t know how long we can block it.” While Keating was speaking, the others followed and stood around the door without saying a word.
“Everyone is just worried that the news of Boyne’s death will hit morale and give the government forces and other enemies a chance to take advantage of it. In fact, there is a limit to what we can do. After all, this matter is a fact.” Morais Looking at the familiar face under the white cloth, his eyes were flushed.
Keating approached with deep approval: “As long as the front line is reinforced and the ministries do a good job of deployment, resist the counterattack of the government army, and beware of the possible sudden attack of Welland and Dunman, and survive this period, then Comrades will eventually come out of the haze, and the International League for Equality will continue to make great strides forward.”
Morais closed the white cloth, turned around and looked at the comrade whose face was full of grief: “I have contacted Joseph and Adel since I learned of Bo Yin’s death, and they will start working on it, and it will be ready in a day or two.” That’s right. I’ll leave this to you, stabilize the hearts of the people, and announce the news in an upright manner. If the government army and other hostile forces first spy on the news and spread it, we will be very passive.”
“Understood.” Minister of Propaganda Department Piaf first responded.
“Let’s go, there is still work to be done, let’s go to the Equality Building to talk.” Morais took a last look at his friend who was lying on the hospital bed and fought side by side with him for many years, suppressed his surging emotions, and walked out of the ward firmly. rushed out.
“Don’t you take a break first? I heard from others that you haven’t closed your eyes for almost two days and two nights. Now you can’t fall down anymore.” The cadre caught up with Morais and asked concerned.
The International Equality Alliance currently has one alliance chairman, four alliance vice-chairmen and more than 70 alliance directors. Among them, the four vice-chairmen of the alliance are held by Morais, Keating, Joseph, and Verak, and more than 70 alliance council seats are allocated to ministers, sub-station chiefs, senior officers of the Equality Army, and members of the International Equality Alliance. Power representatives and other important personnel.
Usually important overall decisions are proposed, discussed, passed or rejected by these people.
After Bo Yin died of illness, among the four vice chairmen of the league, the most suitable candidate to succeed him was Morais.
He is one of the founders of the International Equality League and the Equality Association. He has always been in charge of the armed forces and military affairs, led the organization through countless crises, and proved his ability in one challenge after another. established prestige.
Only when he takes over as the chairman of the alliance can he gain the approval of the most people and minimize the negative impact of Boyne’s death.
So everyone was worried that Morais, who was so busy regardless of his care, would fall ill like Boyne. If he falls, it will be much more troublesome to choose a replacement, and it will make the already affected International Equality League worse.
“I’m fine.” Morais was very clear about his physical condition. The most important thing was that time was running out, and there was no room for them to breathe right now. “I will rest after I finish everything tonight.”
“All right.”
A group of people left St. Roy Hospital and hurriedly took a car to the Equality Building.
The flag of equality was still flying in the square in front of the Equality Building. Morais took a deep look after getting off the car, and walked straight to the main entrance.
“Have all the other directors arrived?” Keating, who was next to Morais, asked the secretary who stayed in the Equality Building.
“The directors in Laizein and surrounding cities, as well as those who specially requested to rush back, have arrived.” The secretary who greeted him said.
“Okay, you go there first and inform them that a meeting is going to be held.” Keating said.
“Understood.” The secretary entered the equality building faster than them.
“Joseph is on the front line, and Verac is responsible for coordinating the revolutionary forces outside. We are the only two left here. Do you have any ideas?” As he walked towards the main entrance of the Equality Building, Morais turned his head and asked Keating.
This question is obviously asking whether Keating has any intention of serving as the chairman of the league.
Keating didn’t care whether Morais was just asking casually to test himself, or he really felt that he was more suitable for this position. He shook his head without hesitation and said, “There are still many things that need to be taken care of at the main school and at the factory.”
“It used to be pretty easy. Although there are many things, I am good at them. Now I am going to elect me as the chairman of the alliance. I am actually very uncertain.” Morais whispered, “There are too many things that I don’t know. It has been involved, and it is a big, big test to maintain a balance and develop in an all-round way…”
“You don’t have to worry about these, just do what you are good at, and we will help with the rest.” Keating comforted.
“I’m afraid of causing everyone’s worries, so I never said these things to the public. I can only pretend to be calm to stabilize the morale of the army. During this time where I can chat a few words in private, I will secretly exchange ideas with you.” Morais A little unwilling to give up, he said, “In the eyes of others, you should be the most suitable candidate for the chairman of the alliance besides me, but in my heart, you are more suitable than me.”
“My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours.” Keating declined. “Your qualifications and prestige are higher than mine. It is expected that you will be the new chairman of the alliance. Even if it is from the point of reducing the influence as soon as possible, what you can do The strength is several times that of mine. As for the follow-up work, it is not all up to you to decide, you don’t have to bear the huge pressure in such a hurry.”
Morais didn’t know if he had figured it out, or he realized that Yi Keting’s character would not force him to be the chairman no matter what. After a wry smile, he accepted the arrangement: “After that, I will work hard for you.”
“The hardest thing is you, take care of your body.” Keating said.
“Yes, I want to carry Boyne’s last wish and live until the day when the new world comes.” Morais changed the subject, “Now I finally got in touch with Verak, didn’t you say anything to him?”
“I said it, but he should not be in the mood to answer for the time being, how about you?”
“Same.” Morais sighed softly, “It’s understandable. I lost contact with us for nearly a month, and the first news I finally received was the bad news. You have to give him some time to digest.”
“He has done a good job and has lived up to Boyne’s expectations. In Bash, the traitor of the substation was found out, and the biggest enemy was eradicated. Now in Montrego, the planning and preparation of the substation has also begun. I believe It won’t be long before he sends back good news.” Keating had high hopes for Verak.
“Yes, we need good news now.”
As they spoke, the two of them and a group of cadres and directors behind them came under the building.
As the hub of the International Equality Alliance’s main station, the Equality Building has not relaxed its vigilance even though it is located in the core of the power. There are many soldiers patrolling back and forth 24 hours a day. .
“Comrade Morais! Comrade Keating!”
After a group of people came over, the soldiers saluted in unison.
Morais strode forward and patted the soldiers on duty late at night: “It’s all hard work.”
“No hard work!” The soldiers raised their chests and raised their heads in unison.
“How do you need to check?” Morais didn’t go in directly based on his identity, but stood in front of the soldiers, waiting for them to check before going in.
“You don’t need to check, please come in!” The soldier captain took a step back, making way for Morais and others to enter the building.
“You are not here to protect me alone. Since everyone in the building needs to be protected, everyone in the building should be inspected when they enter and leave. Otherwise, some people will check and some will not. Isn’t this useless?” Morais knew that he was about to serve as the chairman of the alliance, and it was superfluous to check himself, but if he didn’t need to be checked, Keating and others didn’t need to be checked, and the directors didn’t need to be checked, and the conditions were repeatedly relaxed , the danger will come sooner or later.
“Yes!” The soldier captain stepped forward again, checked Morais, and touched the pistol from his waist. “According to the regulations, the chairman of the alliance and the vice chairman of the alliance can carry guns into the building. Right to withhold, please come in!”
Seeing that Morais had set an example, Keating was very satisfied, and also stepped forward to accept the inspection.
Seeing this, the others patiently stepped forward for inspection and handed over their guns.
“Before you come, only non-building staff need to check and show permission when they come in. After all, everyone working in the building is the backbone of the alliance. If they really want to do something, there are plenty of opportunities.” The position of the gate, Keating Road waiting for others to come in.
“I don’t think that’s safe enough. We can infiltrate the government army, and the government army can naturally infiltrate us.” Morais is used to the level of security in the army.
“It also makes sense.” Keating chose to support it.
”Minister Elton.” After checking one by one, the soldier captain greeted Elton, the Minister of Health and also the director of the alliance.
“Do I still need to check? Just take a look.” Elton spread his hands and whispered with a smile.
“I know you can’t be in danger, but this is the order of Vice Chairman Morais.” The soldier captain was a little embarrassed, wondering why Elton wanted to violate the order Morais had just issued.
Elton smiled half-smile, took out the gun at his waist under the watchful eyes of the soldier captain, and loaded the gun openly: “Look, my gun is actually not loaded with bullets.”
Just when the soldier captain was about to take it over, Elton’s face suddenly changed, and he looked fiercely at Morais and Keating who were waiting for them inside, raised his gun to aim, and pulled the trigger!
Morais faced the door and saw Elton’s uproar for the first time. He yelled and pushed the unaware Keating away with his excellent reaction speed: “Be careful! El—”
“Bang bang bang!”
“Puff puff!”
Before the reminder finished, several bullets burst out from the muzzle of the gun and pierced Morais’ chest.
