Chapter 502 Public Opinion War (23)
Things turned around again.
Because things were going smoothly, they almost forgot about the comrade who pretended to be Capa's lover.
Now the other party has unknowingly rushed over from Orondo, and can enter the city at any time to start disguising.
"Should we ask the other party to come in to assist us, or should we simply terminate her mission?" Murphy asked Veraker.
Laizeinli has the final decision on all actions in his hands.
Verak thought for a while: "Let her come in, so that we can have a more stable contact with Comrade Capa. And Comrade Capa himself used this reason to let his wife and children leave safely. If the lover does not show up for a long time , the people at the newspaper office will inevitably suspect him."
"Then the complete situation of reporter Capa should also be reported together? If there is no reliable progress, the terminal may not agree to the participation of Comrade Bella." Murphy reminded Veraker.
Verac patted his forehead. He forgot that he had just told him not to report the matter of reporter Capa until there was no definite harvest: "In this way, wait for the verification results of the film first, and then let Comrade Bella go in if there is no problem." city."
Murphy nodded: "Understood."
The comrades who were in charge of going to the reporter Capa's house to pick up the film did not keep them waiting. They were tormented between hope and despair. Two hours later, the good news came back.
After preliminary confirmation, the contents involved in this batch of films are all top-secret and complete evidence of the fake chain of the Provisional Government. As long as these are announced, they will definitely blow up the provisional government like a blockbuster.
At the same time, Verak quickly ordered Murphy to send the message to the terminal.
The terminus also quickly replied a telegram, saying three things.
The first thing is that the terminal will immediately send people to assist the action team to transport the top-secret film and reporter Capa out of Leizein and send them to Leliste City.
The second thing is that Comrade Bella who came from the Orondo substation will enter the city immediately. Before organizing the evacuation of reporter Capa, he will accompany him and cooperate with the work of the action team.
The third thing is that the public opinion campaign led by the Propaganda Department will start soon, and the action team must be ready to respond. At that time, the truth of public opinion and the true identities of a large number of people who were arrested and executed must be revealed, and the public should be led to respond. Fight back and do your best to keep the citizens of Laizein safe.
Finally, Keating told the action team in the telegram not to be too happy, not to relax at any time, and must always be on guard against the danger from the provisional government.
After reading the telegram, Verak immediately reconvened the leaders and deputy leaders of the intelligence team, combat team, and started a new meeting.
"To put it simply, we will do two things next. One is to work together with the comrades sent by the terminal to send out the film and Comrade Capa safely. The other is to get the film from the terminal and launch a counterattack. We must not only ensure the safety of the people, but also lead them to fight back against the provisional government." Verak reorganized the content of the telegram and said to everyone.
"The second thing is the main job of our combat team, right?" Cyril said.
"Yes, the combat team will be mainly responsible for the work in this area, but let's start with the intelligence team first, because their work will be carried out first." Verak looked at Shirley, Murphy, and Connie, "The main station will send people over to assist us immediately, which means that in about three days, the task of transporting the film and Comrade Capa will officially begin. The time is very tight, and we must work out a feasible plan as soon as possible."
"Comrade Capa can stay in Laizein and accept our protection, so from the perspective of priority, the most important thing for us now is to ship the film out." Murphy analyzed the situation, "The film is not as conspicuous as a person, we Transported in batches, it should be easy to muddle through."
Shirley also thinks so: "I actually think that the film can be shipped out by our action team and sent directly to Leliste City, so that we can save at least three days."
Verac put his arms around his chest and smiled: "The film is very important, it is the decisive evidence of the public opinion war. Chairman Keating should try his best to reduce the risk and ensure that the film is shipped out of Leizein, and then from Leizein to Leizein. Everything is safe on the road in Lister."
"It's worth the extra three days." Shirley understood this seemingly redundant approach.
"I don't think there's anything particularly difficult about this matter. After we transport the film out of the city, it's basically the work of the comrades sent by the terminal." Connie expressed her opinion simply and directly, "As for transporting the film out of the city, To be on the safe side, and to make it easier to carry, the film was distributed to ten comrades, and they can get out together.”
"Well, it is generally possible to do so. The purpose of the discussion now is nothing more than to avoid emergencies and consider whether Comrade Capa has the conditions to go out of the city together." Verak said, "Your intelligence team will discuss it on your own later. Hurry up and give me a plan."
"clear."
"clear."
"clear."
When it was the combat team's turn, Spencer took the initiative to say, "I'm actually a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" Verak looked at him.
"The provisional government arrested innocent people and faked them as ours. Once this matter is made public, they will inevitably be under great pressure. Under heavy pressure, in order to get rid of us as soon as possible, will they do everything they can?" Shoot at the Martyrs' Cemetery?" Spencer asked.
Verak's expression became serious, and he quite agreed with Spencer's deduction: "Well... this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"At that time, we will have to face the anger and counterattack of the people, coupled with our proactive attack, the interim government should not care about the martyrs' cemetery, right?" Nizan is inclined to an optimistic situation.
"We should suppress them and fight until they have to put all their energy on us, that is, turn passive into active." Cyril said.
"The cemetery of the martyrs can't be our hindrance after all, don't take this matter into consideration, you can study the main task at ease." Verak patted the shoulder of Cyril who was sitting closest to him, "Okay, talk to the intelligence Let’s start working on a plan together.”
"clear."
"clear."
"clear."
three days later
December 4th
The comrades sent by the main station of the International Equality League came outside the city of Laizein, waiting to meet the comrades of the action team in the city at any time.
On the same day, the camera smuggling incident was completely exposed. Duke Hall disregarded the relevant clues in advance and shifted the responsibility to Henry. And Henry lived up to expectations, and committed suicide by taking poison in the guest room where the action team had previously lived, without giving the government search team a chance to dig deeper.
In addition to these things that were expected to progress steadily, Capa's physical condition unexpectedly failed to meet everyone's expectations.
After three days of treatment in the hospital, his condition not only did not improve, but it tended to worsen.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the action team to take him out of the hospital and then out of Laizein, let alone guarantee that his illness would not be passed on to other comrades along the way, making the plan unable to proceed smoothly.
Therefore, the General Station and the General Liaison Office of the action team unanimously decided to temporarily keep Capa in Laizein, and then hand it over to the action team for full protection.
Capa himself has no objection to this arrangement.
After deciding on his final destination, the intelligence team of the action team began to transport the film according to the plan.
This matter was also successfully completed three hours later, and seventeen comrades from the action team who each carried part of the film successfully connected with the comrades sent by the terminal.
So far, the action team has successfully completed their due work in the public opinion war.
In the future, get Kappa out of the hospital and place him in a secret and safe place before the terminal counterattacks.
This task could have been well implemented.
But the intelligence team did not expect that Capa's condition would worsen. Now that they want to take Capa away, they must equip him with corresponding medical conditions under the condition of ensuring safety. Otherwise, when Capa leaves the hospital, it means that he is close to death. One step closer.
"This is really difficult for comrades. It is not easy for everyone to hide their names and protect themselves. Now we not only need to provide Comrade Capa with a place to stay, but also provide him with doctors and medicines. This..." In the warehouse, Murphy said Sheng said with Verak, "What's more, his illness is not a common one. If you are not careful, everyone will be infected. When the time comes..."
"I know." If Veraker hadn't been familiar with Murphy, he knew that what he said was to explain the current situation rationally and objectively, instead of thinking that helping so many Kappa from the International Equality League was a burden, and he might immediately be black-faced, "It's hard Are you going to give up on him?"
"That's not what I mean. I think in this situation, instead of letting him stay in Laizein, it's better to take the risk of shipping out and receive treatment openly outside." In Murphy's view, as far as the current situation is concerned, help Capa recuperated properly in Lezein, far less feasible than escorting him out.
Verak has a headache: "In his condition, it is very difficult to transport him out safely. If it doesn't work, we should settle him first, and then seek support from the main station and arrange for a reliable doctor to come over."
Murphy said: "If Comrade Capa stays here, we need to solve the problem of doctors, medicines, and ensure that our comrades will not be infected..."
Verak was speechless. After a long time, he said, "I'll find a solution."

In hospitals and wards
The young and beautiful comrade Bella took care of Capa's daily life carefully.
"Are they... set off..." the weak Capa asked feebly.
There were only the two of them in the ward, so there was nothing to shy away from.
Comrade Bella sat by the hospital bed, wearing a mask and whispered back: "At this point, the comrades at the terminus outside should have gotten the film and started their return journey."
"That's good..." Capa murmured.
"Don't worry, the comrades of the action team will move you to a safe place soon." Bella helped Capal pull the quilt.
"How soon...about how long will it take them to get back to...Lelister?" Capa asked.
"About three days."
That is, there are at least three days before the International Equality League launches a counterattack, and his identity is exposed.
Capa closed his eyes: "If within three days... I don't recover...then...then don't worry about me...my body like this will only slow you down...if I infect others...it's too bad worth it..."
Comrade Bella reassured: "Don't worry, we will protect you no matter what, you don't need to worry about anything, take your medicine and rest well."
"Hmm..." Capa's heart settled down a bit.
If he can't be given up, of course he doesn't want to be given up.
Wife, child, their agreement is still there, and he wants to reunite with them even in his dreams.
"Boom boom boom."
There was a knock on the door.
Bella walked over and opened the door, only to see that besides the two soldiers who were on duty at the door all the time, a middle-aged man who was also wearing a mask and wrapped himself in three layers was deliberately keeping a few meters away from her. distance.
"you are?"
"You are...Ms. Bella, right?" Editor-in-chief Byron judged that Bella was indeed beautiful through half of her face, "I am the editor-in-chief of Lazein Daily, Capa's boss, Byron. "
"Hello, Mr. Byron, please come in." Bella invited Byron into the ward for a chat.
Byron waved his hands again and again, wishing he could take two steps back: "No, no, I still have some work to do, but I just happened to stop by to have a look, so I won't go in."
"Thank you for your visit, Kapata has been thinking about the work of the newspaper day and night, and I am sorry to cause you trouble."
"No, he got sick because of the newspaper office, so it's not a trouble. By the way, I heard that Capa's condition is not very good?" Byron asked.
"Hmm..." Bella is not very good at acting, she simply lowered her head so that Byron could not see her expression, "The medicine in the hospital is not very effective, it has been so many days, and her body has not improved at all, and More and more signs of being dragged down..."
"Don't worry, Capa is one of my subordinates. I won't just watch him fall like this. I will go to the doctor later and let the doctor do everything possible to treat Capa." Although Bella couldn't be seen But Byron could imagine her sadness, he admired and felt sorry for this beautiful woman.
"Thank you…"
"You should be more careful yourself, how about this, I will arrange a place for you, and find someone else to take care of Capa." Byron suggested with a concerned look.
Bella shook her head slightly, and declined Byron politely: "Thank you for your kindness, let me take care of it, and I can rest assured seeing him every day."
"Okay, okay, let's do this first, you continue to take care of Capa, I will talk to the doctor." Byron was about to leave, "By the way, you tell Capa not to worry about the work of the newspaper, I gave him a vacation, as long as he recuperates well."
"Thank you." Bella bowed to Byron to express her gratitude.
"No, I'll go first." Byron reluctantly stared at Bella a few times before turning and leaving.
Bella naturally and clearly felt Byron's squinting eyes. She watched Byron leave, returned to the ward, and sat back beside Capa: "Your boss Byron has come to visit you, but if you're afraid of being infected, don't worry about it." Come in."
"It's best not to come in, I don't want to be sick and still act in front of him." Capa said.
"Well, sooner or later you will recover and enjoy a good life with your wife and children."
