Wu Hui's explanation made Xiaoya cross out the Ministry of Works in her heart. Why does it seem like every college has so many talented people?

"That's Marina."

Kanna had sharp eyes and immediately saw Marina leading the team out of the office door.

"It's martial law now. What are you doing at the Ministry of Works? Are you planning a rebellion? Get back to your posts!"

Marina, holding a submachine gun, shouted loudly, and the Ministry of Works was not to be outdone. With the help of a loudspeaker, they started to curse at Marina.

"For the workers' rights, comrades, charge!"

In the end, it was Shili who couldn't hold back any longer. She took off the AK47-like assault rifle on her back, waved her hand, and the members of the Works Department wearing helmets and work clothes all raised their guns and fought with the security committee members.

The scene quickly became chaotic. The security committee members were well-trained. As long as they formed an assault formation under Marina's organization, they could quickly suppress these students from the Ministry of Works. However, the Ministry of Works had an absolute numerical advantage, and under their attack, the security committee members had to fight on their own.

The Engineering Department wasn't having a good time either. They had a lot of people, but their quality was questionable. Many of them only knew basic shooting skills. As for tactics? What tactics? Was that even worth it?

On the field, Marina, caught off guard by the outnumbered Works Department, quickly realized that she was already gathering the separated security committee members, and...

"Surrender! Otherwise, when the other security committee members arrive, I will exile you all!"

Marina shouted that she had ordered the nearby security committee members to come for support. If this continued, the Ministry of Works would definitely be defeated.

"Alright, it's time to act. Class one, form an assault formation, follow me. Class two, hold off the security committee's reinforcements." Seeing the intense battle situation, Wu Hui quickly gave orders, "Teacher, and the two Gehenna students, just wait here. It's safer here."

After she finished speaking, Wu Hui jumped out of the window with five students who were dressed similarly to her, and the other five students also quickly moved towards the door.

"It seems that the student council after Hongdong should be renamed the Kamahammer Council." The teacher said this, and Xiaomei and Kanna nodded.

These students acted quickly and were able to firmly carry out the orders issued by Wu Hui. It was obvious that they had undergone special training. Apart from their equipment, they were no worse than Gehenna's discipline committee members.

Outside the window, Wu Hui's team had already joined the battle. Seeing the arrival of several dark green figures, the morale of the Engineering Department suddenly boosted.

"Reinforcements! They're our reinforcements! Comrades, go ahead! Defeat the new tyrant Marina!"

Shili shouted loudly, and the students in the Ministry of Works were immediately excited.

The battle ended quickly. Wu Hui's strength crushed Marina, who could not last more than a few rounds in her hands. In other words, she did not need the other students from the Works Department and the Hammer Society at all. Wu Hui could deal with the security committee members present by herself.

"Victory!"

Marina was captured by Wu Hui, and the other security members had no intention of resisting. After all, many of them had been beaten by Wu Hui. Looking at Wu Hui with a fierce look on her face, the security members did not even have the courage to shoot her.

Two students immediately ran out and unfurled a red flag with a hammer and sickle and stuck it on the magnificent gate of the Affairs Bureau.

"Is that the case with Iroku Ishikyuu?"

While the students of the Ministry of Works were celebrating, the teacher walked out of the building with Xiaomei and Kanna. It all seemed to be happening too fast, and the fierce resistance that they had imagined did not appear at all.

"Yes, that's it. We've already planned this." Wu Hui's face flushed, and it was clear that she wasn't as calm as she appeared. "The power supply team has taken control of Hongdong's power system. The security committee members we infiltrated have taken control of Hongdong's on-campus transportation. The publishing house has also pledged its support. Now, all we need to do is spread the news of Marina's capture with the help of the students from the Knowledge Liberation Front."

Yes, their action this time is certainly not just to take over the Affairs Bureau. In fact, it is a revolution launched by widely uniting various Red Winter societies that are dissatisfied with the current Affairs Bureau.

Wu Hui was not so calm either. Her heart was about to beat out with excitement. She and her comrades had been planning for this moment for two years.

The original plan was to wait until they had communicated with Shili a few more times and corrected Shili's trade unionist ideas before taking action.

No one expected Marina to launch a coup. There was nothing they could do. This was a rare opportunity. After an urgent discussion among the representatives of the Hammer and Sickle Society, they decided to take action immediately.

Now, everything is in place.

But overthrowing the Bureau is only the first step. As the saying goes, "We are not only good at destroying an old world, we are also good at building a new one."

Hongdong's story does not end here. Wu Hui and her comrades still have a long way to go.

"Oh, that... Xiaoya-san." Wu Hui paused, then took out a notebook from the lining of her clothes. "Here, take this. This is my notes from the past two years. I think they will be useful to you."

Then, Wu Hui turned to the teacher and said, "Teacher, although we have some differences on the route, I believe we can become friends."

"Alright Comrade Wu Hui, let's celebrate our victory now. We have Ivan Kupala Festival coming up soon!"

Xiaoya saw Shili put her hand on Wu Hui's shoulder, but the latter was too high, so Wu Hui had to bend her waist to let Shili continue to hook her neck.

"Haha, yes, today is a historic day for Hongdong. Cheers, comrades!"

Coup or Revolution? Greetings from the Soviet Union: Chapter 12: Our Red Winter

Marina's farcical coup ended just like that. With the decision of the joint meeting of the Hammer and Sickle Society representatives and the Ministry of Works, Marina successfully reunited with Celino, whom she had been thinking about all the time. Now they are undergoing labor reform together in the exile area.

Of course, the current Hongdong is not perfect all of a sudden. On the contrary, there is still a lot of chaos.

"Our representatives believe that a six-hour workday and a four-day-on, three-day-off policy should be implemented to protect workers' rights and health!"

"Impossible! Comrade Shili, the eight-hour workday is already the most suitable system for workers. Reducing working hours further will lead to low efficiency!"

“You are betraying the working class!”

"You are engaging in extreme trade unionism!"

......

Then it turned into a war of words. Wu Hui sat in the chair of the conference room without saying a word. Next to her was Xia Wu$-, who was attending as an observer.

The meeting being held now is to form a new affairs bureau. Because of the participation of the Ministry of Works, the Sickle Hammer Society now has to consider the opinions of the Ministry of Works. Therefore, the Sickle Hammer Society cannot directly replace the Red Winter Affairs Bureau to become the new Student M Association. Of course, Wu Hui is unwilling to do so.

In her opinion, the organization is the organization and the student union is the student union. If the boundaries and responsibilities between the two are not carefully distinguished, it will only lead to the bureaucratization of the organization and the loss of its combativeness as a vanguard.

But it's not a good idea to continue arguing like this. Xiaoya looked at the conference room and saw that the representatives of the Hammer and Sickle Society and the Ministry of Works were about to draw their guns and start a different kind of conference room battle.

"Quiet! Discipline yourself."

Wu Hui suddenly stood up and spoke loudly. The representatives of the Hammer and Sickle Society were stunned for a moment, and then sat back in their chairs. The representatives of the Ministry of Works did not say much and just waited for Wu Hui's next words.

"Now, please give the floor to the citizen representatives."

That’s right, there were not only student representatives present, but also representatives from the citizens of Red Winter. However, they were not as tough as the students, so when the Hammer Society and the Ministry of Works clashed, they could only shrink their necks and pray that neither side would get involved.

Hearing Wu Hui's words, a group of animal and robot citizen representatives chattered for a while. Finally, an owl-like citizen stood up and said, "We've thoroughly discussed the opinions of both sides. Based on Hongdong's historical data, we believe that an eight-hour workday is more in line with Hongdong's current needs. However, a four-day work, three-day rest policy is worth considering."

"Now, please vote on whether to implement an eight-hour workday and three days off."

After saying this, Wu Hui almost breathed a sigh of relief. Organizing such a large-scale meeting for all of Hongdong was much more difficult than organizing a meeting within the Sickle and Hammer Society. Fortunately, she had a high reputation in Hongdong, otherwise she couldn't imagine how lively this meeting would be.

After about five hours of meetings, everyone finally decided on some matters to be dealt with after the Red Winter Revolution.

The Ministry of Works was not interested in setting up a new affairs bureau. As Wu Hui said, they were already deeply involved in trade unionism. It didn't matter who was in power, as long as their needs were met.

Therefore, with the Ministry of Works abstaining from voting, Wu Hui became the new student union president of Hongdong with a very high number of votes.

"I'm sorry, teacher, and two other students, for keeping you so late."

Wu Hui, the new president, was not arrogant and her clothes were the same as before, but she looked a little tired. It seemed that organizing a large-scale meeting for five consecutive hours and coordinating conflicts among all parties was still a bit difficult for her.

"Don't force yourself. Don't you still have so many comrades?"

The teacher smiled at the tall girl and said that he was neutral, but in fact, Xia Lai was now supporting Hongdong's new affairs bureau.

If the teacher agrees to attend the meeting as an observer, it means that the Federal Student Union has recognized the legitimacy of Wu Hui and others.

"Yes, I still have comrades." Wu Hui smiled. She felt that she had grown a lot now. Before she traveled through time, she didn't even have the ability to organize an internal meeting of her area, let alone such a large meeting. The past two years in Hongdong had truly made her a revolutionary who could stand on her own.

Wu Hui looked at Xiaoya. She could see her own shadow in the latter. Although she did not understand Xiaoya's experience, when Xiaoya discussed theoretical issues with her, she could clearly feel the little girl's disgust with the current system, and her determination to change.

"Xiaoya, no, I should call you comrade. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to Hongdong to find me. I will help you. Just think of it as some mutual help between comrades." Wu Hui straightened her collar. "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early."

Wu Hui left the suite assigned to Xia Lai, and the next step was the time inside Xia Lai.

"teacher..."

"Xiaoya..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and then paused to wait for the other to continue. Finally, the teacher broke the silence with a "haha".

"Xiaoya, are you also going to follow the same path as Takee-san?"

"Yes, Master, I have thought about it." The girl said firmly, "You know I escaped from Caesar.

"After being tricked into Caesar's military camp, I kept wondering why there was so much chaos in Kivotos? Black markets, bad girls, giant corporations, our story shouldn't be like this."

The teacher and Kanna sat quietly, listening to Xiaomei's story.

"When we were in Abydos, the Helmet Corps leader asked me what we would do if we didn't do the dirty work. I didn't understand. At that time, I simply thought that all we had to do was destroy the Caesar Group.

"But then I came to Millennium, and I was fascinated by its club system. I thought that if I just copied Millennium's club system to the entire Kivotos, I would be able to solve the problem of bad girls once and for all. But the incident with Liyin and the actions of the Engineering Department and the Maid Club made me realize that Millennium's system is not perfect.

“Even if they are societies, they could grow into giants that monopolize the academy’s discourse power, and then use the academy to remove the shackles on themselves: prohibit wage labor, and then everything will return to the way it was before.

"It wasn't until Red Winter that I saw hope, a hope that could change Kivotos..."

Xiaoya talked about all her thoughts and explorations since Abydos. It was the first time for the teacher and Kanna to gain an in-depth understanding of Xiaoya's thoughts and goals.

The teacher didn't come back to his senses until the girl finished her story.

Coup or Revolution? Greetings from the Soviet Union: Chapter 13: Xiaoya's Red Winter Travelogue

"I understand," the teacher nodded. "So that's why you asked me to help you get your student status reinstated, Xiaoya?"

That's true. It takes strength to change Kivotos, and it also takes strength to destroy the Caesar Group. Xiaoya can't go to the black market to fight guerrilla warfare with Caesar, because he will only be defeated by Caesar with his absolute advantage.

Then she could only start from Gehena, change Gehena, and then unite with her comrades in Hongdong to change the entire Kivotos.

Xiaoya looked at the teacher, the adult who gave her a place to stay and whom she respected. If the teacher did not agree with her ideals, then she...she would also find a way to realize her own ideals.

The girl is a kind-hearted child. She has suffered in the black market and knows the difficulties faced by bad girls. She can empathize with them, so Xiaoya does not want to escape from the suffering alone. She hopes that there will be no more oppression and inequality in Kivotos.

"Just go for it," the teacher said. "You are my student, and I will support your ideals."

The teacher seemed to be saying something terrible. Xia Lai should be a neutral institution. How could it support a student to subvert the order of an academy?

But in the past, it was neutral. Xia Lai was neutral, but the teacher was not neutral. People are the sum of social relations, so as a person, he or she will have a stance, and the teacher's stance is that of the student.

Besides, the teacher also dislikes the Caesar Group. If Xiaoya wants to overthrow Gehenna, the teacher may not support it. But if Xiaoya wants to get rid of Caesar, Xia Lai will have to help him no matter what.

......

The early morning sun shone on the square, and Xiaoya began to walk along the square with her hands in her pockets.

Xia Lai was allowed to move freely in Hongdong. Today was a rare good day, so Xiaoya decided to take a walk in Hongdong and see what Hongdong looked like after the revolution.

There was no need to worry about the teacher's safety, because the itinerary did not include the various inspections led by Cellino, so the teacher worked directly in the suite, and Kanna temporarily took on the role of secretary.

"Good morning, Comrade Ya!"

Because of her obvious Gehenna features and Xialai's identity mark, many students in Hongdong know Xiaoya's name.

"Good morning." The girl smiled and nodded to the students from the Ministry of Works.

They were pulling down the statue of Cerino in the square, of course, not replacing it with Wu Hui's.

Yesterday we had already agreed to erect a sculpture here during Ivan Kupala Day, symbolizing the unity of the Red Winter.

"How are you all feeling now? Has anything changed since before?"

Xiaoya went forward. She wanted to ask the students from the Ministry of Works about their feelings and to get some reference for her future actions.

"If there's anything different...it doesn't seem to be anything. It's just that the foreman said we only need to work eight hours today. Oh, by the way, there was some extra pudding this morning. She said we workers work hard and need more pudding quota." One of the students fixed the rope and took the time to look up and say to Xiaoya.

"That's it."

Students from the Ministry of Public Works shouted slogans and pulled down Cellino's sculpture with the help of machines. Then a group of students hurriedly tied the sculpture to the crane.

"Goodbye, Celino." Xiaoya muttered silently and said goodbye to these enthusiastic students from the Ministry of Works.

At the end of the square, turn left and you will see Hongdong’s cafeteria, and on the right is the president’s new office.

Wu Hui did not bring the students of the Kamahammer Society into the office building that looked like a palace.

Xiaoya also asked why, and Wu Hui replied, "I don't like that place. There, I always feel like there's a thick barrier between me and the ordinary students and citizens of Hongdong."

So, Wu Hui chose an ordinary floor at the other end of the square. It used to be a warehouse for storing miscellaneous items of the Affairs Bureau. After Wu Hui cleaned it up, it became the office of the president of the Hongdong Affairs Bureau. The original building was declared a free open venue, and all students and citizens could visit it.

The huge conference room there was hung with a sign that read "Red Winter Soviet". Although Xiaoya didn't know what "Soviet" meant, she saw the teacher's eyes twitching at that time.

Now is not the time to visit Wu Hui. Wu Hui is probably too busy to receive Xiaoya, so the girl thought about it and decided to turn left to take a look at the building called "Third Public Canteen".

Pushing open the door, through the fully open window, Xiaoya could see the logistics department members who had been collectively exiled by Celino busy in the kitchen.

"Comrade Chef, are you okay?"

Unconsciously, Xiaoya got used to calling him "comrade", but Xiaoya thought this name was pretty good, as people with similar ideals can be called comrades.

"It's Mei-san, welcome. Welcome! Would you like a portion of this freshly baked pudding? It's not diluted with water."

After resting in the exile area for an afternoon, the head chef received the news that Cellino and Marina had stepped down one after another. Looking at Cellino, Secretary Ba and Marina digging potatoes with hoes in the frozen fields of the exile area, the head chef's face was full of smiles.
