Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

After the short meeting, Xu Bin returned to his team in a depressed mood...

He came up with an idea, but others lost their lives? This feeling made him feel uncomfortable, even if it wasn't for his idea, more lives would have been lost.

So after the plan was formulated, Xu Bin asked the lieutenant colonel to join the battle...

"Lieutenant Colonel!"

Xu Bin said to the battalion commander at the time:

"I came up with the idea, so there's nothing wrong with giving the task to me, right? What's more, my team is much more experienced than you in indoor combat! This can reduce casualties on both sides."

The proposal sounds reasonable.

But the latter's attitude of rejection was extremely firm...

"You have done enough for us, Mr. Xu!" the lieutenant colonel retorted:

"With your help, we have even saved tens of thousands of lives. I'll just give you a rough estimate. Project Pluto has saved a thousand lives, right? So we can't let you risk your lives in battle anymore!"

"What's more, not letting volunteers fight on the front line is an order that has been conveyed countless times by the General Staff. You know what 'order' means! This order has not been delivered in place for various reasons many times before, and the higher-ups are already very angry. If it is not carried out well this time, the officials at all levels above will have to punish a large number of people..."

As soon as the word "command" was mentioned, Xu Bin was speechless.

He didn't want to jeopardize the lieutenant colonel's job, so he could only return to the humanoids with a lot of anger.

...

"Commander~, calm down, calm down!"

As soon as Xu Bin walked into the temporary command post, UMP40 came over.

She massaged the other's shoulders and comforted him softly: "Commander, you have done well enough..."

"Let them solve the next task on their own! In any case, there will always be casualties in a war. Without you, the Saudi Federation would have established a 'new territory' north of the Acre River, wouldn't it?"

As she spoke, she put her nose close to the commander's head.

She secretly sniffed the smell of the latter's hair - this was a strange habit that UMP40 had developed at some point. Now that there were no combat missions, she enjoyed this and took the opportunity to take advantage of the commander.

But Xu Bin's mind was not here for the time being.

He scratched his face in frustration and said, "I know that, but..."

"But I really hate being a bystander. Especially being a bystander who lets others plan their deaths for me, you know? Next, the one responsible for capturing the building is the 3rd Company of the Motorized Infantry Battalion, which has many people I'm familiar with. I memorized the names of more than of those soldiers half a month ago, but guess what happened after the street fighting today?"

"——Then only half of the twenty or so people I knew were left after the fight!"

After saying this, Xu Bin took a deep breath and didn't dare to continue.

Things like war...sometimes they are really mysterious!

A group of people fought for ten days or half a month, and there were no serious casualties. What was the result?

Half of the people died in a certain day's mission!

They will die in some dark corner or on a deserted street, killed by a stray bullet or a small piece of debris that pops out from nowhere, without giving you any chance to prepare mentally.

—— “Comradeship” was the first thing Xu Bin experienced after arriving in Akstan. The soldiers in the 3rd Company were all his peers, and they had a lot in common.

so……

Today he finally felt the pain of "losing a large number of friends in the blink of an eye" and felt very uncomfortable.

Oh! Forget it, let's do business first.

Xu Bin didn't want to become sentimental during the battle, so he shook his head vigorously.

Then he took out a bag of compressed biscuits and a command tablet from his bag, and started working while eating...

------

Well, that's what happens to people who lack the guidance of faith...

Faced with the pressure of war and casualties, they may be able to bear it temporarily - but this is just "stacking straw on a camel's back". One day, the "camel" will be overwhelmed and die from the pressure.

Unless they can find faith,

Be able to find that... strength that is enough to support yourself and keep moving forward.

Then, people will become indestructible and invincible.

------

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the ruins in front of the cooperative building.

The soldiers of the 3rd Company had already divided themselves into several combat teams according to the predetermined plan, waiting for the order to attack.

Taking advantage of this free time, Amir chatted with several old classmates nearby...

"I say, the universities in southern Europe are really good!"

A young soldier who had excellent grades and had returned from studying abroad spoke up:

"When I went there in my first year, there were many snack streets outside their school, as well as many bars, cafes and so on. At that time, the federal devils had not yet dropped "Agent Orange" on the grain-producing areas, so I tasted a lot of delicious food...! The food was also much better than our school."

"Hey, how do the locals treat you?" Amir asked with a smile.

The international students happily replied:

"Very good! My roommates and neighbors are taking great care of me!"

"But..."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and his expression became a little disgusted: "The politicians over there are a bit bad..."

"Once, a congressman came to the school and said he would present awards to our outstanding students who came on stage. I went on stage with a Youth League badge on my collar - the kind with Lenin's head on it - and when he found out, he started to mock me in a sarcastic way on the stage, saying that if I didn't take off the Youth League badge, I would be disqualified from presenting the award..."

Upon hearing this, the young warriors around could no longer sit still:

"What the hell! Why does that guy ask you to do that?"

"We are not partners with the Axis Alliance, is he crazy?"

"What happened next? You definitely didn't pick it, right?"

The international student nodded: "Of course I didn't take it off..."

Then he burst out laughing again:

"That idiot succeeded in arousing the anger of the audience, so the students all stood up from their seats and chased him out of the auditorium!"

"Good! That's more like it!"

Hearing that idiot's embarrassing moment, the youth league members around him burst into laughter. Who wouldn't be happy to see this?

But amidst the laughter, a sense of uneasiness also rose in their hearts...

"Do we really have to rely on foreign aid for food and air defense systems to survive in the future?"

Amir was the first to point out the pain point in everyone's heart:

"Foreign officials are different from volunteers like Boss Xu... We are opponents in terms of ideology and form! In the past half month, they seemed to support us on the surface, but what about the reality? All they gave us were outdated and retired products, and they also said that they would only send them to us after we won the battle..."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, there are many contradictions between Akstan and some of its "friends" in the West regarding concepts concerning human development.

It's the kind of competitive relationship where "one of us will die sooner or later."

Now they have to shamelessly seek their support in order to survive? This makes the youth league members feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey, is everyone so pessimistic?"

Unexpectedly, the foreign student spoke up:

"I have to tell you my opinion, classmates... After spending so many years in southern Europe, do you know where the Westerners' prejudice against our ideas comes from?"

Oh?

This question is quite interesting. The members couldn't answer it, so they all looked over...

The international student did not keep the question secret and answered decisively:

"It comes from 'guidance'! A guidance based on half-truths and half-lies to demonize us."

At this point, many smarter soldiers realized that it was indeed true!

——In their camp, there was once a stupid teammate called “Old Alliance”.

What a pig teammate! Born as a commoner, he ended up doing the work of an imperialist bandit. It's really abstract!

Based on this part of the facts, the capitalists around the world are so happy! They can wantonly mix their favorite lies into these dark histories, and then serve them to the people for appreciation...

In this way, the latter will think: you have done bad things = you are a bad person = everything you do is bad, and thus they will be wary and cautious of you.

This "diode logic" is stupid, but it really exists and you see it all the time in your life.

It is opposed to "dialectical thinking".

“Everyone should think about why such guidance can be successful? Isn’t it because our people around the world share the same values?” The international student continued:

"We, the lower classes of the world, are against exploitation and hate the infringement of other people's territorial sovereignty. But the old alliance did it again - this gave the capitalists the opportunity to blame us. Recognizing this, we can say..."

"It can be said that our enemies are actually very few, and they are always just those capitalists who are high up and responsible for 'guidance'; the proletariat of the world are actually our future comrades-in-arms, right?" A young soldier took over the conversation and asked.

Then everyone laughed together.

Yes, this group of young people is a true portrayal of the members of the Akstan Red Banner Youth League. They are always optimistic and dialectical when looking at things.

They will not throw away their brains and say, "How dare you speak ill of the old alliance? You are the enemy!" just because the old alliance is in the same camp as themselves;

Nor will it blindly deny the ideals it advocated because of the mistakes it made...

At this moment, the group members have realized an important fact - since the "basic values" of people all over the world are the same, then... seeking common ground while reserving differences and moving towards universal harmony, isn't this the inevitable outcome of the world?

Sooner or later, the proletarians will recognize who their real enemies are. The youth league members, young pioneers, and organization members are only responsible for accelerating this process.

Hold the 81st military exercise to show off your military might? Conduct pincer attacks on neighboring countries from time to time?

Anyone who does this is an idiot.

...

"All assault teams have it! Keep the channels open and be ready for battle!"

Finally, their intercoms rang.

The members of the Red Flag Youth League immediately got into shape and were ready to attack at any time.

At this moment, some of them were thinking:

"The enemies in the building are quite troublesome! The Flatnechon Youth Group who likes to torture prisoners of war... What are these guys doing now?"

The soldiers probably couldn't think of it even if they racked their brains...

At this moment, in the building, those young soldiers from the Federation...

Going crazy.
