Chapter 23: The Boat of Peace
Within three days, the same play was staged in all the gathering points of Palmer. At the end of the performance, both the "citizen representative" and the red-clothed postman who presided over the play were completely speechless. The last three "performances" were all carried out by the red-clad postmen around them loudly "repeating" the lines.
Yes, whether it was the "citizen representative" who reported it or the red-clad postman who presided over the rally, they were in fact just "actors" specially invited by Dussand.
The people who were reported were indeed the El, and their list was provided by Morse, who had infiltrated the El-party—there were no high-ranking people in the El-party either, just little minions who worked for the El-party.
The El Party is a very advanced anti-government organization, and it is not that Dussart despises them through irony, but compared with other organizations in the Empire, the El Party's organizational structure and course of action are simply advanced across the era.
Their organizational structure is very cautious, and almost every member of the El Party is a one-line contact. Even if the mid-level El Party administrators rebelled, they had very few people to betray - they had little contact with other members of the El Party.
The El recruits are also very stealthy, and they tend to select those who are more likely to be dissatisfied with or even resentful of the current Newsar government, and then develop members through "persuasion" and so on.
Because the actions of the El Party were too covert, the plan that Dussaint and Morse had been planning to "get all the members and destroy the entire El Party in one fell swoop" became an empty word. Morse got a list of the party headquarters he had attacked before, and the people on that list were just small fish and shrimp - the highest-ranking "El Party member" listed above, with a total of twenty-two downline.
Twenty-three members of the El were to be killed, of course, and the number of evil they had done in Palmer was too numerous to mention, plus the poison gas attack on the railway station square...... None of the twenty-three were innocent.
But Dussander believes that the value of these twenty-three people should be maximized. With Aika's active investigation alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get all the members of the El Party out of the crowd in a short period of time. Why not use these people to stimulate the residents of Palmer.
Twenty-three of the identified members of the Ayr Party were dispersed by Aika to twenty-three different gathering points in advance, and each member was monitored by three Aika agents.
The next thing to do is to act - three to five people at each gathering point are reported as members of the El, and the "hosting" agent will declare several of them as "innocent after examination", and then shoot the real Eles on a makeshift stage, and then use guns equipped with empty ammunition to hook up with several fake El Party actors with good acting skills.
The fundamental purpose of this performance is to encourage ordinary Palmer citizens at the gathering point to report suspicious persons. In order to achieve this goal, Dussaint deliberately asked for two key links to be included in the "show".
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
The first key link is the cowhide bag that accidentally fell to the ground, and the golden pound inside. There are two types of gold pounds currently in use in the Empire, one is printed banknotes, and the other is a gold coin that weighs half an ounce of gold and is stamped under a mint.
The denomination of banknotes is relatively large, and the largest denomination of banknotes is 50 gold pounds. However, these large-denomination banknotes were mainly circulated between the nobility and the big business, and the most commoners could see was a gold coin with a denomination of 1 gold pound.
In terms of visual impact and the rationality of "dropping", paper money is inferior to gold coins. Therefore, Dussander specifically asked that gold coins be used to encourage reporting.
The second key is to "make sure that some reports are wrong". The main reason why Dussander has this request is to dispel the "concerns" of the residents who reported it.
As ordinary people, the residents of Palmer themselves do not have the ability to identify and identify the Ayr Party. Not to mention how covert the El ares are, it is actually very difficult to "perceive the strangeness of some neighbors".
It is likely that some of these residents are afraid to report it for fear that they have wronged their neighbors. Therefore, Dussaint deliberately added the bridge of "announcing that some of the reports were found to be erroneous after review". In order to dispel the concerns of most people about reporting.
Let the El Party fall into the sea of the people, and make every Nyusar an enemy of the El Party. That's what Dussander is aiming for.

While Dusaud was trying to plunge the El into the vast sea of the people's war, a small boat, with great determination, plunged headlong into the sea outside Upper Albin.
Due to the obvious jump flashes of the ship, the Nyusar Navy quickly determined that this "small ship" with a presumed displacement of about 8,000 tons came from the Alliance.
What to do with this ship from the Alliance...... It has become the most troublesome content for the Navy at present. A few months ago, the Confederates were the most feared enemies of the Neussard. The blood eucalyptus they created on the planet Bomir Colony made every Neussar angry and worried.
But now...... The empire has become a real problem for Newsar. After all, the Confederates had never officially attacked Nyusar for nearly two hundred years, but instead the Empire and the Church had carried out a massive assault on Nyussar - according to the estimates of the Home Affairs Committee, the sudden attack by the Church caused serious casualties to Nyussar of about three million people.
But...... The sudden arrival of the Confederates in Newsal still led directly to the entry of the Newsal Navy into the highest level of combat readiness. Twenty minutes after confirming the flash, all the capital ships of the Newsar Navy left port and entered the predetermined position to begin combat readiness duty. Four large destroyers and two cruisers, in the standard tactical maneuver of multiple jumps, quickly surrounded the Confederate ship that appeared off the coast of Upper Albin.
"Your ship will be quickly disarmed and inspected for boarding." The Nyusar Navy, which surrounded the "small boat", sent a light signal to it, and at the same time sent a large number of speedboats powered by high-pressure gas to forcibly approach the target.
According to General Horn's orders, if the other party makes any resistance or evasion, they are to be sunk on the spot - whatever the uninvited allies are trying to do, they are not welcome in Newsar anyway.
As the speedboat approached rapidly, the floating Confederate ship finally reacted a little—several Confederates staggered out of the cabin, and then raised a flag on the mast.
The flag is blue and depicts a white scale.
This move surprised the Newsal sailors who approached the Confederate ship, because ...... This flag is not a common emblem of the League.
The Imperial Flag is a rectangular flag with a yellow background painted with a red lion on it. The flags commonly used by the alliance are mainly green, and the pictures on them are painted with scythes, sailboats, books, or thumbnails of galaxies depending on the faction.
But this blue background, white balance matching...... It was the first time that the people of Newsal had seen it. The flag of the Star Sea Federation is not like this - they use a square flag on a black background, and an eagle symbolizing the Resistance Alliance is painted on it.
The blue scales fluttered in the wind, and the crew collapsed on the deck one by one, greedily breathing in the fresh air of Newsar. As the speedboat approached, the sailors of the Newsar garrison almost all smelled a strong stench.
The composition of this stench is complex, presumably rotten food mixed with the smell of human sweat and excrement, coupled with the stale smell caused by the inability to breathe for a long time. What's more, in order to prevent such a smell from having too bad an effect on the ship's crew, some kind of cheap fragrance was used on a large scale on board.
The smell alone is irritating but tolerable. But when the smell and the fragrance are mixed together, people want to get their nose used to the smell...... It's going to be very difficult. No wonder the crew had been smoked like this—even the sailors of Newsar were reluctant to approach the Confederate ship.
Soon, several people appeared on deck dressed differently from the crew's attire. One of them raised his hands and shouted in Imperial dialect to the Niusal sailors who were approaching him, "I am Fein von Steinberg, please inform Dussander of my arrival at once—on behalf of the Confederate Freedom Alliance, I propose to Niussal to live in peace!" ”
