"We've done secret investigations, and they're ......," said old Olaf, with a somewhat tangled expression.

"What's wrong with them? Slurred. Ray asked, putting down his glass.

"They don't seem to be like us." Old Olaf was reluctant to say such things, but for the sake of the security of the organization, he had to say it

"They're more like Ace or Kidi, they have no purpose, they only think about destruction."

"Well, in the name of revenge." Lei pondered for a moment and asked

"What about your opinion? Should we stay in touch or even absorb them, or should we cut off communication? ”

"Severe." Old Olaf said without hesitation

"I've received reports that they've been targeted by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security for a long time, and they're already in trouble. At this time, if we go up, not only will we not be able to save them, but we will also be exposed and suffer another devastating blow. ”

"Okay, then end the plan to engage with the other parts." Ray nodded, following the admonition. Then he looked at Comrade Salsla, I have a group of comrades here to submit applications for development membership, you can investigate and pay attention to safety. Sara took the drive and nodded.

After chatting for a while about organizational building, Ray finally said

"Regarding the development of Brooklyn Lee's plan to join the organization, I recommend that it be stopped for the time being."

"I'm right next to him and I know a little bit about the situation."

"Burke Forsman at Harvard Law School has always suspected him of being our comrade, and has been obstructing him."

"This is a pivotal time for Brooklyn Lee, and we have to make sure that his work with Harvard doesn't slip through the cracks and that he takes over New York."

"Brooklyn Lee takes over New York, and our activities will be a little easier." After the attack on West 23rd Street in Manhattan, the entire CPUSA split into countless parts, which became independent, some became gangsters, some were selling D goods, some were engaged in terrorist attacks, and some became the doglegs of the rich.

Only this branch in New York still retains the most orthodox and original CPUSA style. As the most orthodox CPUSA heir, Ray has put a lot of effort into rebuilding CPUSA, and thanks to his own experience and former career, Ray has very high requirements for secrecy.

The first thing he looks at when developing members is their qualifications, the second is their ability to keep secrets, and then they look at various investigations. Still, after the new CPUSA grew to a certain size, they ran into problems.

For example, the previous student mentioned the problem of efficiency. Members who join the organization need to learn the organizational program and understand the goals of the organization, and the old members who have learned these and passed the test need to study the "Anthology" that Lei worked hard to find.

But there is a very serious problem here - the progress of the students is not consistent. At present, the only person who can guarantee that there will be no major problems in explaining the "Anthology" is Lei, but the students are different from old to new, and the progress is uneven.

This is a very big problem. Every time a member comes to class, they take a big risk of exposure, and they are eager to learn something new in the weekly class, rather than repeating the same old tunes in order to take care of the new members, or 'getting ahead of time' content that they can't keep up with and don't understand.

It's hard to believe, but it's a fact that people still can't read a book like "Anthology" written in the vernacular.

After this problem arose, some members of the organization thought that the organization should be expanded to attract talent, but it was soon suggested that if the organization was expanded, it would increase the risk of exposure.

Therefore, after research, the members of the organization believe that they should find a backer for the organization, or develop a senior official to join the organization.

Then Brooklyn Lee was elected with a high number of votes because of his impartiality, normal outlook, skin color, and personal relationship with Ray.

Ray is opposed to the development of Brooklyn as a member of the CPUSA, but this is the CPUSA, an organization that truly stresses democracy, not his word.

"Also, I think it's necessary to convene a plenary meeting to revisit the matter of developing Brooklyn Lee into the organization." Ray said seriously.

"Why, hasn't it already been discussed?" Old Olaf looked at Ray suspiciously.

"I should be the one who knows Brooklyn Lee best." Ray thought for a moment and explained

"As far as I know about him, he's not the right fit for us."

"I'm sure he won't be able to pass the inspection at all. Most of the comrades thought that Brooklyn Lee was very happy to pass the inspection and become our comrade. But did you ever think that he couldn't pass the inspection at all? ”

"Even if I have a personal relationship with him, I can make him not leak CPUSA to the outside world even if he doesn't pass the inspection, but there is a first time and a second time, and there is always a person who our comrades look away and don't pass the inspection, and then leak CPUSA."

"It's a joke on the lives of our comrades."

"This gap must not be opened. Even if you want to develop Brooklyn Lee, you should follow the established process of conducting a preliminary investigation first, entering the shortlist after meeting the requirements, and then going through the investigation team to ensure that there is no problem before trying to make contact. ”

"We should be a disciplined team, not a team that thinks it's okay to break discipline at the beginning."

"Even if it's Brooklyn Lee, to develop him, you should follow the established process that you have, not make exceptions or exceptions." Ray said solemnly

"If the development succeeds, he is our comrade, and if the development fails, he is not our comrade, but the masses waiting for our rescue, or our enemies. Either way, he's nothing special. After a pause, Ray continued

"There should be no special word in our ranks, we should not give special treatment to any target or individual, that is a sign of detachment from the masses, not a good phenomenon."

"Yes...... But we really need Brooklyn Lee on board. Olaf Sr. hesitated. He is actually not the most qualified member of CPUSA, although he is also a truck driver, but he belongs to the 'industry tyrant', he does not need CPUSA's rescue, he is doing well.

The reason why I joined CPUSA is because I was rescued by Ray after hitting and killing someone. In fact, he joined CPUSA more out of personal affection than out of higher and greater ideals and goals.

On the contrary, his wife, Ms. Sarah, was very interested in CPUSA, and after fully understanding the ideals and goals of CPUSA, especially after reading the "Anthology" that the Leto people had painstakingly brought from the East, she burst out with great enthusiasm.

Compared to old Olaf, Sara is a staunch CPUSA fighter. Therefore, what Sara could easily understand, the elder Olaf did not quite understand.

He didn't quite understand what it meant to be 'detached from the masses,' and he didn't understand why Brooklyn Lee wasn't special.

He's obviously very special! He is a judge, and according to the content of last month's lecture, he belongs to the enemy class.

But he is good friends with Comrade Chairman, and for the sake of the Chairman's face, shouldn't he be given a chance?

Shouldn't good friends share with each other? What other rules do good friends talk about? Old Olaf could not understand.

Ray patiently explained

"We are not gangsters, Comrade Olaf, we are an organization with ideals, goals, organization and discipline. None of us should be above the organization. ”

"I do have a good personal relationship with Brooklyn Lee, but think about it, if I open a back door to Brooklyn Lee this time because of my personal feelings, do I want to open a back door for you next time, or do I want to open a back door for Sara next time."

"Our old comrades have the right to open the back door, what do the new comrades think?"

"In order to take care of our emotions, should we open a back door for our new comrades?"

"Now that everyone can open the back door, what's the use of the process rules we made in the first place to recruit members?"

"Or if we stipulate that only the old members have the right to open the back door, doesn't this automatically divide our comrades into two groups, one is the new comrades, and the other is the old comrades of the privileged class."

"Isn't this splitting?" Under Ray's explanation, old Olaf understood a little, but he still had a question

"But he's your brother. You are our chairman, the initiator, and the whole organization belongs to you......" Before Olaf Sr. could finish speaking, Ray interrupted him solemnly.

"Comrade Olaf, CPUSA does not belong to me, it belongs to everyone, to the people, to all those who want to join the movement for the liberation of the Federation. It will not belong to any one individual. ”

"I am indeed the initiator, but I am also only the one among the people who looked up at the sky a little earlier, I am no different from you, I am not special, please don't treat me specially."

"The reason why I am the chairman is not because I am the organizer, but because on the road to the liberation of the Federation, I have gone further and have more experience than my comrades, and I need to use my experience to lead everyone through the dangerous period when the comrades are ignorant."

"We're not a federal government, we're not a club of the rich, or a confucian organization. Nor is our purpose to build a kingdom," Ray said very seriously, very seriously, and old Olaf seemed to understand it.

He felt tired that he could understand every word he spoke, but when they were connected it became incomparably profound, and at the same time he seemed to feel the power of these words, as if he had touched the pulse of the veins with his own hands, and a crispy and numbing sensation filled his chest.

He felt inexplicably excited. Sara on the side listened with fascination. As a lawyer, Sara, unlike Olaf Sr., is highly educated.

The ability to accept new things, the ability to think, and the ability to discriminate...... In every way, Sara is better than Olaf Sr.

Ray watched the performance of the old Olaf couple and silently noted this. This is also a concern.

As the number of members increases, sooner or later there will be differences in the cognition of members, and members with higher education will have an easier understanding of the organization's program than others.

If we do not find a way to make up for this difference, in the long run, it will turn into a big problem and will be very detrimental to unity.

Ray stayed here for a while until late at night, when he had to leave. On the way, Ray witnessed seven robberies in a row, and one of the robbers even targeted him.

New York used to be chaotic, but it wasn't so frequent. Ray's face was a little ugly. He actually doesn't like Brooklyn and their troubles, Brooklyn and their work together, and it is the people of New York who suffer.

But at the same time, he understood why they did it in Brooklyn. It is emotionally unacceptable, intellectually acceptable.

Silently drove the car home, only to find that Brooklyn was not sleeping. Entering the door coincided with the end of a meeting in Brooklyn.

"I'm going to be late again tomorrow." Ray glanced at the time, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and spoke. Brooklyn was cleaning up his computer, and he was stunned when he heard this, and said

"Tomorrow is the last Monday of May, Remembrance Day."

"It is written on the official website that there will be a holiday tomorrow." In fact, there are many holidays in the Federation, and there are all kinds of holidays, if you count religious holidays, anniversaries, national holidays, rest days, international holidays, and traditional festivals of different ethnic groups, it is estimated that the Federation has to have holidays every day.

As a result, federal departments set their own holidays. For example, e.g. y。 Remembrance Day actually has nothing to do with them. Y never had a day off, and he didn't take it off in his first year in Brooklyn.

But this year, some people responded that last year's work hours were too intensive and they needed to rest. Brooklyn counted and found that e. Last year, except for weekends and Christmas, there were only three holidays.

So this year, Brooklyn has appropriately added holiday holidays. Remembrance Day is one of them.

There are many similar situations, and there are very few federal 'national holidays'. Ray thought for a moment and said

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of people tomorrow who will make it a normal day to work."

"Do you mean interns?" Brooklyn asked with a shrug of his shoulders and indifference. Court staff are very sensitive to things like holidays, especially paid leave.

Brooklyn had people revise the holiday notice on the official website, and within five minutes, the staff knew about it.

It is in their own interest that they pay more attention to any disturbances than the interns.

"Why did you go to come back so late?" Brooklyn asked casually. Lei went into the kitchen, washed his hands, took a few pieces of lo-mei, and took a plate for braised pork and other dishes, and then filled a large bowl of rice, stuffed them into the microwave together, adjusted the time, and then walked out of the kitchen.

After such a toss by him, Brooklyn had already packed up his computer and some bits and pieces, and he had long since lost the heart to listen to Ray's affair history.

He originally asked casually. Ray bared his teeth and shouted at Brooklyn, who had already gone up to the second floor

"Leave me some more rice next time."

"It's better to eat less at night, the body has indigestion." Brooklyn warned.

"I didn't even eat dinner." Ray patted his stomach, a little aggrieved. He didn't really eat dinner, just two doughnuts.

How can I have time to eat! Thinking of the enemies that CPUSA faced, Ray lost his mind to joke.

Brooklyn is enough to completely destroy CPUSA, but the combination of Brooklyn + Frank + Winston, which can walk sideways in New York State, can't even hold the opponent.

And their opponents are just simplified versions of the CPUSA enemies.
