As the Liberal Party and the SPD actively debated the opposition to the Labour Party's proposal to extend the powers of the committee, which led to an unhappy end of the regular meeting, the SS guards and voters, who had been somewhat muted in the streets of the capital, resumed heated debates and fights.

Yang Yi disguised himself, and together with Saki Ye and Christina, he took advantage of the night to touch William's current residence. The left-wing exile of the Empire is currently residing in a Republican Guard barracks. When the two sides met, William's attitude was obviously not very friendly - he was very unhappy with Yang Yi's unauthorized actions.

"There is a reason for this, the situation in the republic has intensified, and I must think about my people." This is a rather weak explanation given by Yang Yi.

"But you must also think about the republic, Comrade Yang Yi." William said dissatisfiedly, "Your unsolicited movement almost caused a breach in the Republic's border guards, but fortunately the council did not act in time, otherwise our defense line could have collapsed." Moreover, your unauthorized actions have caused a considerable amount of panic. ”

"Now the situation in the Republic, Mr. William, you also see it." Yang Yi shook his head, "If my people don't leave, I may become a victim of the situation in the Republic." I am leading my people to achieve left-wing ideals and goals, not to be suspected by those I protect and put on the execution table. ”

"Don't you see all those fights, debates, and arguments in the streets these days? The public speeches of the city's Labour MPs are becoming more radical by the day, and the number of fanatical party members is gradually proliferating...... I'm sure you see it better than I do, Mr. William. Yang Yi pointed out without hesitation, "Igor's death is a tragedy, but for the current political situation of the republic is more like a spark that ignites the fuse." ”

William did not answer him, but silently lit a cigarette and listened to him with a slight frown.

"The Republic needs your help now, Mr. William...... Or should I say now, Comrade Colonel William? The Republican Guard is already paralyzed in its handling of domestic affairs because of political struggles. At present, the only hope of resolving this mess is that only a group of people have a chance. ”

"We are here to realize left-wing ideals and interstellarism, Comrade Yang Yi." William did not answer Yang Yi's words positively.

"The Republic would be an excellent place to experiment with left-wing ideas and theories, but only if it could provide the ideal environment, Colonel William." Yang Yi did not deny William's statement, "You have the recognition and support from the Republic, and I believe that there are people within the Guard who are already tired and disturbed by this chaos, and there are potential allies everywhere in the Republic who are dissatisfied with the chaotic status quo, and the only thing they need is someone who can stand up and help them ignite the flame of resistance." ”

"They are comrades of our left wing." William shook his head, seemingly disapproving of everything Yang Yi said.

"The premise of comrades is that they can share the same ideals with you. Remember what I said to you at the beginning? I basically don't call you comrade because we don't think the same way, and I can't call you comrade. Although Christina strongly hinted that he should not say this, Yang Yi still did not hesitate to pierce this layer of window paper, "Those 'comrades' in the republic are the same. Aside from the fact that what they are doing now has gone beyond the boundaries of the program and guiding ideology of the left-wing parties, do you really think that this is what a group of left-wing 'comrades' should do if they have ignored the legal process and bypassed the Supreme Court's execution of suspects without trial? ”

"Since you are not my comrade, Commander Yang, why should I believe you?" When William heard this, he sneered.

"Because our purpose is the same." Yang Yi looked directly at William and said, "I would like to see the new Yumoyan as an independent left-wing republic, a regime that belongs to the people, not an imperial puppet state, or another loose regime that will control the fate of the country through a loose and corrupt capitalist democratic parliament." I'm not going to lie to you, I do have my purpose, and I want to have good relations with a sovereign state. If you remember, I'm a pirate, I have a bunch of men to feed me, and I want a sovereign nation in the sector that can provide me with a safe place to live when I retire, and I want to have a good relationship with a sovereign nation. I don't want Yumayan to become a second empire, which means that I, and the Port of the Dead, will be in extreme danger. ”

"I don't think you have that kind of awareness. Are you an Imperial, or a pirate," William pointed out Yang Yi's identity pointedly, "both of which make your words pale in comparison. ”

"At least you're wrong about it." Yang Yi smiled and replied, "It is precisely because I am an imperial person that I have this pursuit and ideal, I have seen too many imperial people at work, studying, suddenly rushed in and pulled away by the stormtroopers in a daze, I have also heard too many rumors that someone disappeared overnight, every time I log on to the empire's network, the red and black imperial emblem in the background is always hidden behind the content I browse......"

"If I had to finish the bad things I've seen, I could sit here and talk to you until the civil war is over." Yang Yi leaned back, his expression also changed to worry, "If you can't empathize, you can go and ask the members of your column who were once citizens of the Empire. I'm just talking about the tip of the iceberg of imperial life. The suffering of the people of the empire that I have experienced is probably less than one-ten-thousandth of the whole picture. But it is because I understand this that I want to have a better, freer, more equal life. I don't know if you've been exposed to the lives of those low-level civilians during your time in exile, but if you have actually experienced them, or have met those people, I'm sure you'll understand what I'm saying. “

"Speaking of piracy, I understand that you may still not believe it, but this is indeed the real appeal of many pirates and mercenaries, including me, no matter how much money we grab, it will be black money after all, and our reputation will also stink in this long period of looting and commissioning, and most of the colonies in this star area will not accept us. Therefore, for us, a place where we can retire with peace of mind is more important than how many credit points we have. ”

"Hmph, Harbor of the Dead......"

William snorted coldly, as if he was thinking about something, and muttered some inaudible words at the same time. Yang Yi didn't speak anymore, he had already said everything he could, and the rest was left to William to think about for himself.

Soon, William raised his head again, and his expression was already tinged with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness.

"Do you have any plans?"

By the time Yang Yi, Sakiya, and Christina left William's residence, it was already dark. Heavily tired, the three of them went around evading the guards and SS patrolling the streets, and then returned to the safe house and fell asleep.
