MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 501 Public Opinion War (22)

  Chapter 501 Public Opinion War (22)

  December 1, morning

  Evans went through the discharge procedures, returned to the apartment, and reported the important information he learned from reporter Capa to the General Liaison Office.

  Walak and the others, who were packing things in the hotel room and were about to transfer their location secretly, were overjoyed, and immediately assigned the comrade closest to the reporter Capa's house the task of getting the top-secret evidence.

   "Do you want to report to Chairman Keating?" Murphy sent a telegram to his comrades, asking for Veraker's opinion.

   "No rush." ​​Veraker was checking whether the contents of his suitcase were complete. "At present, the possibility of a trap cannot be completely ruled out. It won't be too late to report after the comrades get the evidence and check it."

   "Understood." Temporarily without the work of sending and receiving telegrams, Murphy, like everyone else, packed up his things.

   On the issue of life and safety, Duke Hall, who had previously pushed back and forth even to get some cameras, raised his work efficiency to the highest level.

  From knowing that the camera smuggling was discovered by the government, to deciding to find a new settlement for the International Equality League action team, and now implementing them one by one, opening up a route for them to safely pass through the government patrol on the street, it has only been about two days.

  Verak couldn’t help sighing, it’s hard to confirm how powerful a person’s energy is without being forced: “How are you cleaning up?”

"almost."

   "Ready to go anytime."

  Their luggage is mainly a simple set of change of clothes and documents, which are not troublesome to pack at all, not to mention that they evacuate in time to deal with emergencies, and their things are usually stored together and can basically be taken away at any time.

   Ten minutes is enough for them to complete all the preparations.

   "Then let's go." Verac picked up the suitcase, intending to find Henry who was waiting outside the door, and let him **** his group to the new hiding place.

"and many more."

   Veteran Spencer stopped Veraker who was walking in the front.

   "What's wrong?" Verak turned around and asked.

"I'm still a little worried, can we just go out like this? What if Hall changes his mind midway and sells us to the government army on the way, or they don't have this idea, but the government army takes the initiative to search us out, what should we do? "This feeling of putting life and death in someone else's hands was overwhelming for Spencer.

"As I said before, as long as there is a choice that neither side offends, Hall has no reason to put us to death. Similarly, he must ensure our absolute safety in order to maintain his balance as an intermediary." Verak replied.

"But who can guarantee that Hall won't help us on the surface, but secretly inform the provisional government to wipe us out? If we do this, we can not only give the provisional government enough sincerity to protect themselves, but also give us an explanation to our main station. "Spencer considered the possibility from Duke Hall's point of view.

Verak chuckled and said, "It's not that troublesome. Regardless of whether Hall did it on purpose or not, as long as something like this happens, Chairman Keating will believe that they did it on purpose. So Hall doesn't want to die, so he has to protect us." There is one way to choose. Of course, I still say the same thing, when we have the ability, we must take good care of ourselves, and we cannot place all our protection on others."

  Spencer looked nervous: "Okay..."

   "Relax, nothing will happen." Verac was as steady as a mountain, and opened the door of the guest room.

Outside the door, Henry, the loyal servant of the Duke of Hall, bowed to them and said, "Mr. Verac, everything is ready. I will take everyone to take the van downstairs of the hotel, and go around the city twice without any hindrance. Then use another car to transfer everyone to the hiding place in the North District."

  North District, Industrial Zone.

   An important base in the early stage of the Equality Association.

   Returning there now is the best arrangement in the dark.

   "Yes." Verak had no objection to Hall's route. He believed that Hall must have exhausted all means to open up the safest passage for them.

   "Please." Henry still looked respectful.

  Although after the plan starts, he will become Duke Hall's scapegoat and bear all the responsibilities.

   But he didn't look panicked, on the contrary, there was a simple sense of satisfaction.

  Because of this weird satisfaction, Verak stopped in his tracks.

   "What's the matter? Mr. Verack." Henry asked upon seeing this.

   "Do you know what you will face after we leave?" Veraker was a little suspicious at this moment that Henry didn't know his ending at all.

   "The charges of hiding you in the hotel and smuggling cameras to you will be charged to me, and I will die." Henry said.

   Sure enough, he actually knew.

  Verak asked again: "Why are you so willing to sacrifice yourself for Hall? You should understand that he never regarded you as a real person."

   "Yes, but I'm used to it. I don't know how to live if I don't obey Duke Hall's order." Henry said, who lived in Duke Hall's mansion since childhood and served their family.

   "There is nothing that cannot survive. You are an individual, not someone else's vassal." Verak said.

"Yes, but I'm used to it. It's probably hard for you to understand, starting from my father, our family has been doing the same thing for decades, that is to give everything to the Duke of Hall. He should be high, It is our honor to dress such a noble person." Henry humbled himself into the dust.

"All men are created equal, there is nothing noble about him, and you are not humble." When he said this, Verac's mood was very complicated, because they needed Henry's sacrifice now, but he wanted Henry to wake up, don't be so Foolishly acting as Hall's tool.

   "Yes, but I'm used to it." Henry repeated the third time tirelessly, "I can't change me, and neither can others."

   "...Okay." Verac didn't fully understand Henry, but he knew that they couldn't change Henry now.

  All they can do is try not to let people like Henry appear again.

"Thank you for your kindness. I am very touched and satisfied to be cared for in the last period of time." Henry sincerely thanked Veraker, "I know you are right, but it is a pity that my life has been ruined. It cannot be healed. In the end, I can exchange my mediocre life for the safety of Duke Hall, and your safety, I am really happy."

  Verak didn't know how to reply.

  Henry showed an ordinary and bright smile, and continued: "I hope I can live in such a beautiful new world in my next life and live for myself."

   A group of people came downstairs and got into the truck that had already been prepared.

  After the management of the Duke of Hall, the inspection stations of many government troops just glanced at the pass presented by Henry before passing.

  Stay normal, this kind of car with a cargo compartment needs to be closely inspected regardless of whether it has a pass or not.

  In short, in this way, the truck made a big circle around Laizein all the way, and completed its mission.

   When transferring to the car to go to the North District, Henry didn't keep up.

  He said that Duke Hall was worried that if he was arrested by the provisional government in a while, he would not be able to bear the torture and confess all the secrets, so he didn't tell him where Veraker and the others ended up, and only allowed him to send him halfway.

  After parting with Henry, Veraker and his party went through the upside down, and finally arrived at the hiding place in the North District—a factory warehouse.

  The environment here is far from being comparable to that of a hotel room, and only the warehouse manager acts as their contact with the outside world, providing them with food and other daily necessities on a regular basis. But Verak didn't mind at all, instead he smiled and said, "This is where we should be."

  Spencer was worried all the way. When he came to the warehouse, the first thing he did was to walk around the corners of the warehouse alone, studying the way out.

  Murphy re-adjusted the telegraph, and within an hour, a telegram came from the comrade in charge of going to reporter Capa's house to get the evidence.

  The content of the telegram is very short: a large amount of film has been safely retrieved, and the content is being verified.

At the same time, except for Evans, who stayed in the original position temporarily because he wanted to contact reporter Capa, the other comrades with cameras started to transfer, and basically they will be able to re-stabilize in another safe place at the latest the day after tomorrow. down.

  Even if the interim government has a clue about the smuggled cameras, it is doomed to fail, and cannot use this to severely damage the action team.

"Intelligence team, let's have a meeting." After initially settling down, Verac summoned Murphy, Shirley, and Connie from the intelligence team, and gathered in front of a simple meeting table made of two cargo boxes. It is being verified, but I think this matter can basically be confirmed to be true, so the task assigned to the intelligence team before will come to an end."

   "Do you want to discuss how to safely **** reporter Capa away from Lazein?" Murphy translated the content of the telegram by himself, and naturally saw this assistance from Comrade Evans.

"Yes, once this evidence is released, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and Comrade Capa will also be exposed at that time. If we can't send him to Leliste before that, then his life will be in danger." Verak road.

  Connie nodded vigorously: "He has helped us so much, we must ensure his safety."

"So it can be said that without ensuring his safety, even if we have sufficient evidence, we cannot publish it." Verak continued, "And the current situation is like this. When we met, he deliberately contracted an infectious disease and is currently receiving treatment in a hospital in the southern district, and two soldiers from the government army are on duty at the door of his ward."

"In other words, we need to find a way to get past those two soldiers, bring the sick Comrade Capa out of the hospital, and then **** him through the checkpoints to leave Lazein." Shirley quickly summarized the new task difficulty.

"Yes."

"Comrade Evans disguised himself as a doctor and successfully hid the soldiers from entering the ward to meet Comrade Capa. I think we can continue to try to disguise Comrade Capa as a doctor and transport Comrade Capa away from the soldiers. It seems that the real difficulty lies in how we can take him out of the city through the checkpoint after leaving the hospital? An ID card and a city exit card are required to leave the city. The ID card is easy to say, but the city exit card needs to be issued by a special department, and the soldiers will issue it on the spot. Call the issuing department to check..."

   "Can you ask Hall for help?" Connie thought that the Duke of Hall could handle such a difficult matter today, and it shouldn't be a big problem to go out of the city.

  Verak pondered: "Comrade Capa is a matter of great confidentiality, and it is best for us to solve the problem by ourselves."

   "Then don't tell Hall about Comrade Capa, just say that some of us are going out of town?"

"You can communicate with Hall first, but don't expect too much. Hall, who has just solved a big trouble and lost a hole card, may not be willing to help us do such a dangerous thing in such a short period of time." Verac said.

"It's hard to get a city exit permit. Even if it's a forged one, the soldiers at the checkpoint can tell the real one immediately after making a phone call to check it. I suggest bypassing the checkpoint and taking some risks to sneak out from other places." Xue Lier proposal.

"The problem is that we need to transport Comrade Capa out as soon as possible, but he is ill and it will be difficult to recover in a short while." Verak shook his head slightly and dismissed, "In this case, it is best to get a car to drive him away. , which resulted in us having to walk through the checkpoint."

   "If it doesn't work, carry it on your back." Spencer, who heard the content next to him, interjected.

  He has a strong body and is really easy to carry on his back.

  Verak still shook his head: "Can you walk that long with someone on your back? What's more, the whereabouts of someone behind your back is more obvious. If you are discovered, no one can guarantee that you can escape with Comrade Kapaa."

   "So no matter what, you must have a plausible identity, right?" Murphy concluded.

"Well, the worst solution I can think of at the moment is to simply let Comrade Capa stay in Laizein and hide with us. This will ensure his safety, and wait for the main station to counterattack Laizein. I'll send him away if I find another suitable opportunity." Verak habitually lit a cigarette.

   "That's good, it relieves our pressure. Anyway, Laizein is so big, and it's safe to hide with us." Murphy thinks that Verac's method is actually quite worth implementing.

"...In short, let's try them one by one. It would be the best if he could be sent to Leicester City. If not, he should understand the reason for staying here." After a long while, no good ideas burst out. Lark decided to promote the existing paths first, "Then, the new task of the intelligence team has been established, and that's it."

"clear."

"clear."

"clear."

   "Okay, let's do our own work first." Verac didn't talk nonsense, and announced the end of the meeting after finishing what he had to say.

"Verak." Not long before returning to the telegraph, Murphy received a telegram message from the main station in Leicester City, "A message from the main station said that Comrade Bella, who pretended to be Comrade Capa's lover, had arrived in Leicester. Zein is outside the city, and he can enter the city at any time to contact Capa and assist us in our work."
