MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 465 Branch establishment
Chapter 465 Establishment of substations
The purpose of Verac's visit is to hope that Gonzalez and Porfirio can wait, at least until spring to decide who to join.
Although Gonzalez replied to Verak in the same way, the meanings of the two parties are completely different. One is true, and the other is coping.
"Is there anything else that we need to know more deeply?" Gonzalez was deeply curious about Verak's purpose in coming to see him in this situation.
"The International Equality League is indeed facing a huge challenge right now, but in the history of the development of the International Equality League and its predecessor, the Equality Association, the degree of threat may not even rank in the top three." Verak is very calm, and this kind of calm is not the same as The calmness of Gonzalez's talk, but the calmness of firmly believing that the International Equality League will surely win the final victory.
"Hehe..." Gonzalez smiled, "Do you know what this place is for?"
"Do you think everything is just a matter of probability?" Verak could hear what Gonzalez meant.
Gonzalez fully understood the purpose of Verac's visit. He lay on the chair, and he said leisurely: "You want to prove that the International Equality Alliance will win and resolve the crisis. The International Equality Alliance is still the best choice for us to rely on. Is it right?"
"Yes."
"Actually, we kept some things tacit before, and we didn't talk too much. Now that we have reached this point, we can only put some words on the table." Gonzalez leaned forward , Arms resting on the desk, hands crossed, "Strictly speaking, the reason why my uncle Porfirio and I wanted to join the International Equality League was not because we recognized your purpose and ideas, but because we thought , you want to end the chaos in Montrego and return the country to stability. At this point, we have a common goal, so we can rely on, or more precisely, cooperate."
At this point in the chat, the two parties have officially torn off their respective pretense, and no longer hypocritically talk about useless clichés.
Verac let out a "hmm" and made the conversation more open: "The demands of the warlords of Menglege are the same as yours. They also want to rule Menglege and end the chaos. You didn't choose to join them, did you? I am afraid that they will plunder everything we have. But it is different to cooperate with us. Our power is mainly concentrated in Blessie. It's hard to pose any threat to Montrego at such a distance."
Gonzalez felt a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "It's been said to this extent, so do we still need to talk?"
"Of course." Verak was also smiling, but his smile was slightly contemptuous and indifferent, "You said it all, this is a matter of mutual understanding, if you mind this, we would have broken up unhappy We're gone. Let's talk about it on the bright side now, in the hope that we won't waste time by covering up."
"Okay. Now that you know the purpose of our cooperation so well, you should understand that verbal guarantees can't convince me and my uncle. After all, you really succeeded, and everyone is happy, but if you don't succeed, what should we do in Menglege Clean up the mess?" Gonzalez said.
"It's understandable, but you also need to understand us. What we can do now is to prove that the International Equality Alliance will not stop here." Verak said forcefully.
Gonzales looked embarrassed: "Time... You may not know that the frequency of those big warlords going to my uncle's mansion is higher than my uncle's eating frequency."
"If the frequency is high enough to successfully pressure your uncle, then the result will have come out long ago?" Verak's eyes were burning, and there was no room for Gonzalez to shirk, "These warlords have been found so frequently, and your uncle still hasn't expressed his opinion. Doesn't this just mean that right now there are no suitable defectors among the warlords?"
"The conflict between the warlords has reached its peak, and candidates are about to appear." Gonzales said.
"The weather has turned cold, and this winter is more difficult than ever. If you want to have results, at least you have to be early next spring." Verac slowly guided Gonzales.
"There will definitely be results in spring." Gonzales followed.
"Then next spring will be the time limit." Verak said decisively, "As long as the International Equality League can solve the problem of the Bresi government army before next spring, we will continue to cooperate. If not, we will not interfere in any of your affairs." Decide."
Gonzalez came back to his senses and realized that Verac didn't even think about convincing himself to continue to cooperate. His real purpose was to buy time for possible cooperation.
The current situation of the International Equality League is not optimistic. No matter where this agreement will eventually go, it will be beneficial to them who are at the bottom of the valley.
Similarly, Gonzalez and Porfirio are also in deep trouble.
It is not difficult to wait until next spring to decide who to take refuge in. There is really no reason to refuse this agreement.
"How is it?" Seeing that Gonzales was silent, Verak asked.
"This matter is too important, I still need to talk to my uncle first." Gonzalez picked up the phone, "If you have nothing urgent, you can chat together."
After confirming that none of the warlords has been favored by Porfirio, Veraker is full of confidence in the implementation of this verbal agreement: "Okay."
Gonzalez dialed the phone and told his uncle Porfirio the situation in detail.
The answer on the other end of the phone was much simpler than they expected.
Almost as soon as Gonzalez finished speaking, Porfirio agreed to the agreement: the Guard Corps of Montrego City can wait until next spring before choosing who to join.
"You will be grateful for this choice." The stone in Verak's heart fell.
"There is one thing I want to ask you in turn." Porfirio's thick voice came from the phone, "What's the benefit to you of working with us?"
Gonzalez made it clear that they wanted to join and cooperate with the International Equality Alliance not to interfere too much with Montrego.
In this way, they have the best hope, from a small head of the guards to become the new ruler of the Monlego Empire.
But in the cooperation, the uncle and nephew really did not find the slightest ambition and conspiracy of the International Equality Alliance.
The International Equality League seems to want nothing, which can't help but make them fear.
"What we want is to restore Montrego's stability as soon as possible." Verac's words were simple, direct, and naive, but neither Porfirio nor Gonzalez had any doubts.
Because this is really something that only the International Equality League can do.
Gonzalez frowned: "In comparison, other warlords are much stronger than us. It should be easier for you to support them to unify Montrego, right?"
"During the time we were in Montrego, we witnessed the actions of many warlords. Helping them is contrary to our demands." Verac said.
But we are not much better.
Gonzalez thought.
"Then let's make this agreement for the time being. If there is any emergency in the future, we will contact you again." Porfirio didn't get to the bottom of it.
Verak was not dissatisfied with words like "for the time being".
In the middle of the journey, if things really go wrong for the International Equality Alliance, or if one of the warlords of Montrego gains a huge advantage, then the agreement must be broken no matter how swearing it is.
If you want the agreement to come true, the important thing is not to pursue the details of the words here.
It will only be possible if they go back to Bresci and go through the difficult days with the comrades they know.
After reaching a consensus and leaving the casino, Connie asked suspiciously: "They are so gullible that we do so much just to see Montrego reunite?"
"Do you think we will do this?" Virak asked back.
"Of course not. They are not good things. Letting them rule Montrego is no different from letting those warlords rule." Connie blurted out.
"Of course they think so, and we really won't just sit and watch them rule Menglege and bring the people of Menglege from suffering into another abyss. When that day comes, we will have a fierce battle with them Conflict determines the final direction of the people of Montrego." Verac led the way to the outer city, "It's just that everyone knows this well, but they can't say it."
"Why? Didn't we say a lot of things that we didn't say publicly last time?" Connie was puzzled.
Verak smiled: "That's because those words are not important anymore, and it is more conducive for us to re-reach the agreement. You have also seen it, saying that it is tearing face, but no one really feels embarrassed when those things are said. And this Things just don't work the same way, and there's no benefit in making it clear that sooner or later we're going to be the ultimate enemy, so there's no need to bring it up."
"It's quite complicated." The straight-headed Connie couldn't figure out the turbulent conversation between Verac, Gonzalez, and Porfirio.
"It's nothing complicated. In a conversation like this, you know that the other party is not a fool, and you can just talk directly. Both parties, both in the open and in the dark, are very clear. As long as you agree to cooperate, it means that **** for tat is also acceptable." Verak explained.
"It still feels complicated." Connie shook her head.
Verak strode forward: "You will understand later."
He didn't know these things in the first place. He has dealt with people more and played games for a long time, so he will naturally gain experience.
"Now I can only pray that the situation in Montrego will not change within three to four months." Murphy said.
"The most important thing to pray is that the situation in Breci can be stabilized and reversed as soon as possible." Veraker corrected, "As long as Breci's situation turns around earlier than Montrego, everything is still under our control."
"If we really help them unify Montrego and turn them into giants with our own hands, how can we defeat them?" Murphy was worried about this when he was translating Veraker's words in the casino.
Verak didn't take it seriously at all: "It's too far away, let's talk about it someday."

outer cities, hotels
"If you go back to Brisey from Montrego, I think it's faster to go by land."
A group of people gathered around the map to discuss the return route of Verac, Murphy, and Connie.
"How did you get to Bash?" Lopez asked.
"It took about a month to go overland." Murphy replied.
Lopez looked at Bash following Bresi, and said in surprise: "It's too far away, why don't you take a boat? Don't you get to Bash by crossing the Signe Villen Sea by boat? It can save at least half time?"
"At that time, Bash, Pullman, Welland, and Bressi government forces were fighting in the Sea of Sinevillen, and the route was blocked, so we had to take a detour." After Murphy returned, he studied the route, "We How about going to the Kingdom of Stearns first, then to the Riches Federation, and then back to Brecy from the Riches Federation?"
"This route is the one we took to get to Bash." Verak nodded slightly, "From here, it will take about three weeks."
"Isn't three weeks still a bit too long?" Connie chimed in.
"Well, after three weeks, the situation in Brisey must be very different. If you want to go faster, you can only choose a more dangerous route, that is, go directly to Dunman, from Dunman to the Riches Federation, and then to Brecy." Verac drew a straight line with his index finger on the map.
Murphy's brows have not been stretched: "Dunman is now under strict control, and it is too risky for us to cross by train."
Verak didn't hesitate too much: "There are two roads now. One is safer, but it takes three weeks. The other has certain risks, but it can shorten the journey by a week. I still hope that we can go back sooner, Dunman I I've been there once, and it should be fine."
"Then go Dunman's way." Murphy echoed Veraker.
"Are you going back to Brisey from the direction of Dunman?" Lopez asked.
"Yes, this way we can go faster, and join up with the comrades at the terminus earlier to deal with the government forces together." Murphy said in Monlego.
"Then when are you leaving?"
"The sooner the better, like now." Murphy was in a hurry.
At present, it has been less than four hours since they learned that Morais was assassinated and killed, and the government army broke through several lines of defense of the Equality Army.
"Then we..." Lopez knew that the matter was quite urgent, but he still felt that the departure of Verak and his party was sudden.
"You can stay here with peace of mind. During this period of time, you can continue to collect intelligence and information as much as possible, but don't do anything dangerous." Murphy warned, "We can save a little money by shortening the journey by seven days. , you keep the money, and other sub-stations will remit money to you in the future, so you don’t need to spend your precious time on making ends meet..."
"Understood..." Lopez and the others, who suddenly felt a little lonely, could only respond passively in the face of numerous exhortations.
"At that time, you can live with those children, and you can help more people within the scope of conditions permitting... The main thing is that you don't look like it, otherwise you can still get money for the follow-up charity dinner - it doesn't matter now It's..." Murphy felt sorry for the charity dinner.
After listening to Murphy's translation, Verac, who had confirmed the route, didn't show any impatience: "Let's go at night, and use the afternoon to hold the formal alliance ceremony and substation establishment ceremony for Lopez and others."
