Chapter 527 Negotiation
"Comrade Capa?" Hubert had heard about Capa's key role in the battle of public opinion, but he still didn't know where Capa had an advantage in negotiating, and why he recommended himself, "Why?"
"Compared to you, I need to know those people better, and with my work experience, I can apply targeted pressure. What I have done will make them pay more attention to me...so I think I should be the most suitable candidate ’” Capa really wanted to contribute to the cause of the International Equality League.
Evans once again solemnly dissuaded: "Comrade Capa, you have done enough, you should now return to Leicester City to reunite with your family. This is what we want to see, especially what your wife and children want to see of."
"Remember what you said just now? The Feitier line of defense almost failed today. Needless to say, I will stay here and do my best to protect them and meet them. ” Capa said.
"Then do you know what the result will be if the mission fails? You will be the same as Comrade Verac and they will never come out again, and the government may use you to reorganize the public opinion war." Evans saved Capa twice , but he was not confident that he could save the third time.
Going to prison and negotiating with Celtic is the most difficult and dangerous task.
As the current captain of the action team, he only wishes that he can carry the burden for others when he cannot contribute more strength.
Hubert stopped the debate between the two: "The candidate should be determined rationally. If Comrade Capa is really the most suitable one, we have no reason to obstruct him. Comrade Evans, what do you think?"
"…um." Evans agrees.
"Okay, let's go back to the original point, let's discuss how to increase more chips, and be more sure to convince Celt..."
—
December 18, afternoon
Lezerin
Because the International Equality League action team was about to collapse, and there was no pressure, Celt, who was living a very comfortable life, received a message.
Reporter Capa, who betrayed the Laizein Daily and almost shattered the government's public opinion war by himself, appeared, and voluntarily went to the prison to "surrender himself", calling for a private chat with him.
After many confirmations, Celt already knew that Capa had joined the International Equality League, so when he came out at this critical moment, he must have no good intentions. It is very likely that he wanted to use other methods to rescue Verak because he considered that he would not be able to do so. and others.
Half an hour later, Celt rushed from his mansion to the North District Prison, and met Capa in the reception room where he often met with Verak.
"Great reporter Capa, the hero of the people, the great benefactor of the International Equality League, it is really an honor to meet you." Celt smiled and said eccentrically when he went up.
"Hello, General Celt." Capa's hands and feet were handcuffed, and he could only stand up from the sofa and nod to Celt.
"Sit down, let's get straight to the point." Selt sat opposite Capard, crossed his legs, and waited for Capa to reveal the true purpose of the main prison.
Capa glanced at several jailers in the reception room.
Selter understood, raised his hand, and the jailers left the room together.
"General Celt, I sincerely invite you to join the International Equality League, because this should be your only way out." Capa said.
"You came here just to win me over?" Celt didn't take Capa's invitation seriously.
He was not very moved by the invitation from Veraker's level, let alone the unknown Capa.
What's more, the International Equality League has been defeated and will be wiped out at any time. Unless his mind is trapped by the door, how could he choose to join at this time.
"Yes." Capa nodded.
After disdain, Celt still maintained a certain degree of caution: "Since you dare to risk your life to come in and win me over, what bargaining chips do you have, right? Tell me."
"In order to exaggerate your achievements, you united a large number of officers in Lezeinli, lied about the number of the International Equality League action team, arrested innocent people as members of the International Equality League, caused the riots some time ago, and killed Investigate your intelligence chief Alger. Is this...enough?" Capa calmly told the scandalous things that could ruin Celt's bright future.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think this is another public opinion war? What about the evidence?" Selt narrowed his eyes, realizing that the situation this time was not simple. If the International Equality League had any solid evidence, he would be in trouble.
"If there is no evidence, I will not sit here. Another reminder, don't underestimate our intelligence department of the International Equality League." Capa only made it clear that there is evidence, but did not disclose the specific form of the evidence.
Selt smiled, and lit a cigarette to himself: "You think you can scare me with your words? Since I have the guts to do this, naturally I won't compromise just because of your few words. "
"Then can you afford the price? If these evidences are in the hands of President Auston, what do you think he will do with you when the overall situation of Bressi is settled?"
"Let's talk about what you want first." Celt certainly knew the consequences of President Auston's possession of the evidence, and he was too lazy to argue with Capa repeatedly on this matter.
"You lead all the garrisons of Laizein to the International Equality Alliance, release Verac and other comrades, put President Auston under house arrest, and force the government troops on the front line of Fetier to return to aid." Capa explained the decision they made unanimously last night.
"Ahem!" Celt choked on the smoke for the first time.
This is too absurd, too arrogant, and too ignorant.
The secret was revealed. Relying on his own background and merit, the end result was at most being dismissed from the military.
Can you join the International Equality League? House arrest for President Auston? Want to bring back the main force on the front line?
Do you really think you live too long?
"Are you dreaming? If you can't actually negotiate, then I don't think there is any need to continue the conversation." Selt snuffed out the cigarette, pretending to leave, and put pressure on Capa.
"The reason why you think it's not worth it at all, and that you're going to end up worse off than if we let your fake secrets out, is because of the false premise that you think there's no future for the International Equality League. What I'm trying to say is , you are wrong." Capa stopped Celt at the right time.
"Then talk about it." Celt took advantage of the situation and sat back on the sofa, waiting for Capa to back down and give him a condition he could accept.
"Do you know why the main force of your government army is eager to take down the Feitier line of defense at the risk of great sacrifice?"
Selter's heart tightened: "You mean, Bash and Pullman have provided assistance to you?"
Capa smiled and just shrugged.
"No. With the assistance of Bash and Pruman, your defense line would not be so difficult to defend, and you don't need to win over me to change the situation." Celt pointed out doubts.
"Then I would like to ask you, how do you think our people have resisted your joint efforts with the Dunmans on the Feitier line of defense when there are no soldiers, serious shortage of weapons, and we have been struggling for a month? All-out attack?" Capa asked.
In fact, such words made Capa, Evans, Hubert and others hesitate for a long time, not knowing whether to say it, implying that the International Equality League was able to hold the line of defense because of the assistance of Bash and Pullman.
Although this can create the illusion that the war potential of the International League of Equality is limitless, it also obliterates the efforts of many comrades.
You know, in fact, they did not get the support of the Bash and Prumans at all.
They have no reinforcements, lack weapons and ammunition, and they are almost starving for food.
It was the will of steel that made the miracle of repelling the government army, severely dampened the opponent's spirit, and won a respite that might last for a few days.
"Then why do you have to win me over? You are so powerful, why don't you just kill the army?" Celt's mind was slightly shaken.
Colleagues at the front sent back news that the all-out attack they launched yesterday was indeed prompted by the meeting between Bash, Pruman's ambassador and minister, and Keating, chairman of the International Equality League.
The strength of the International Equality Alliance may increase greatly at any time, and they must capture the city of Lelist before the arrival of Bash and Pullman's assistance.
But now it seems that the assistance of Bash and Pullman has arrived.
Before they could not attack the Feitier defense line, now the International Equality Alliance will become stronger and stronger, and their hope will become increasingly slim.
In the future, Bash and Pullman will have an absolute advantage on the world battlefield, and if they can personally participate in Bresci's internal war, then everything will be over.
"Since we can win you over and achieve our goal with minimal loss, why do we have to make sacrifices and waste time?" Capa felt guilty for the comrades on the defense line, but in order to save the defense line, he had to borrow Bash, Prue Man's momentum.
"Are you not afraid that I will spread this matter? If it is confirmed that the International Equality League has established a cooperative relationship with Bash and Pullman, our people will launch an attack on a larger scale than yesterday, and use the most brutal way to attack End the civil war in the shortest possible time." Celt's confidence began to lack.
"First, if you can really organize it, then the defense line should have been breached yesterday, instead of flying our flag now. Second, if you leak it, we can also make your details public, and we can take a look at that time Who is the one who really suffers." Capa was determined to die, and his aura was gradually overriding Celt.
Celt pondered for dozens of seconds, and his tone became less aggressive than before: "You mean, with the support of Bash and Pruman, the Feitier defense line cannot be breached, and the International League of Equality cannot be wiped out." , so the International Equality League is worthy of my refuge."
"Yes."
"Then I want to ask, what will you do next after I take refuge in you and put President Auston under house arrest? At that time, government forces from all directions will definitely surround Laizein. Will you take advantage of the victory to pursue and rescue my people? "
"of course."
"No, it's impossible." Selt shook his head confidently, "You blocked our attack by relying on the terrain advantage and the assistance of Bash and Pullman, but this does not mean that you have the ability to start a full-scale war with the government forces. Ability. Even with the assistance of Bash and Pluman, you cannot conjure hundreds of thousands of qualified soldiers out of thin air."
After Celt joined the International Equality Alliance, what he should do and what he would face, these were studied by Capa and the others last night.
Therefore, Capa remained calm, answered Celt's doubts in a calm tone, and appeased his fear of turning to the International Equality Alliance: "At that time, we will only need to secretly control Lezein, and then hold President Auston hostage. He can accomplish the feat of winning more with less by giving orders from his mouth."
"All of this is easy to say, but the most important thing is that if you choose, there is no turning back." Celt was tempted, but he was not so simple-minded enough to talk so few words before leaving the government army that had the advantage, " What I can tell you now is that it is not impossible to seek refuge in the International League of Equality, but only the current situation does not mean that you can win the final victory. I need to wait and see until the situation becomes clearer. I believe You'll agree with that, time is on your side after all."
The International Equality League is precisely the one with the least amount of time.
How long the Feitier line of defense can last is completely unknown.
If Celt cannot be persuaded to do things for them within one or two days, then when the decline of the International Equality Alliance is further revealed, their layout and the lies they wove will collapse in an instant.
"You are very shrewd, and you will only use procrastination to face multiple-choice questions when it is not necessary." Capa did not forcefully persuade Celt, but agreed to the other party's request graciously, "Okay, then we will continue Look back."
It was Capa's appearance of not worrying about the follow-up development that made Celt's doubts a little less: "You also said, why do you have to choose between life and death before it is necessary? ?”
"Okay, let's talk about another thing, how are Comrade Veraker and the others doing?" Capa planned to join Veraker and others first to ensure their safety.
"Well...Verak is not bad, others are not very optimistic..." Celt roughly talked about the recent situation of some comrades who were detained.
Knowing that more than a dozen comrades including Nizan, Connie, and Spencer had sacrificed one after another, Capa held back his grief and said, "Take me to meet Comrade Verak first, and I hope you will stop torturing the rest of the comrades immediately. Set them up properly."
"No problem." Anyway, everyone is in prison, and Celt certainly doesn't mind making a good impression on Capa now. If it is found out that Capa is lying, it will not be too late to deal with them twice.
Afterwards, the jailer released Capa's handcuffs and shackles, and Celt arranged for someone to invite Veraker.
"...Comrade Capa?" It took several seconds for the haggard Verac to confirm that the third person in the reception room besides Celt was reporter Capa, "Why do you..."
"We'll talk about this later, are you okay?" Capa was worried about Celt's words, and stepped forward to check whether Veraker was injured.
"I'm fine, you..." Veraker's mind raced, "Are you here to negotiate with Celt?"
