I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

Moreover, the captain of the action team is a big shot after all, and he is definitely qualified to negotiate on behalf of the Disciplinary Committee.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 28 Agriculture? Agriculture!

He Xiang was walking on the streets of the small town in the base area. She had been in the base area for two days. Although she was a special envoy of the Third International, she did not interfere in the work of the comrades of the Spartacus Group. She simply organized study sessions to help the comrades of the Spartacus Group learn theory.

Before coming to Gehena, not only Comrade Wu Hui, but also the former editor-in-chief of "Red Bear" who was the head of the Third International had warned her that the situation in Gehena was different from that in Hongdong after all. As a special envoy, she was only going to assist the comrades of the Spartacus Group in carrying out their work, not to enjoy Gehena like some Tianlong people.

Of course, Gehenna's comrades also respected her. Perhaps this was related to the prestige that Hongdong gained from being the first to complete the revolution? He Xiang felt that she could even use this prestige to forcibly influence the decisions of the Spartacus Group.

But He Xiang did not do so. She was just fulfilling her duties as a special envoy of the Third International.

Now, she is investigating the various conditions of the Gehenna base. After sorting out these conditions, she will report them to the Third International and keep them on file as a reference for others.

At present, the base is still thriving. Residents have gained certain power and support the Spartacus Regiment. Industry is also slowly starting up, and agriculture... yes, what about agriculture?

Along the way, He Xiang did not see any farmland or facilities related to agricultural production.

There was no agriculture in the entire base area. Everyone's food was shipped from other places. The comrades of the Red Army and the Spartacus Group simply ate lunch boxes from convenience stores.

Hexiang paused. It seemed that the investigation plan had to be postponed. Now she had to get her comrades in the Spartacus Corps to take it seriously.

Thinking of this, she turned around and ran towards the Spartacus Regiment’s headquarters. The special envoy would not easily interfere with the decision-making of Comrade Gehenna, but could make suggestions to the comrades.

......

"So, Comrade Xiaoya, what about the agricultural facilities in the base?" Kazuka asked Xiaoya, who was processing a report document on a resident dispute. Ibuki, who was sitting on a small stool holding Pudding, watched the discussion between the two older sisters.

"Uh, agriculture?" Xiaoya was confused about this until Hexiang talked about it, then she reacted.

Whether during his time at Gehena or after being fired by Gehena, Xiaoya had no idea about agriculture.

In other words, most Kivotos students actually have no idea about this thing. In the minds of most students, vegetables and staple foods are available in supermarkets. If they don't want to cook, they can just buy pre-prepared meals. Pre-prepared meals are freshly available on the shelves of supermarkets or convenience stores.

Only a small number of students know that the lunch boxes they eat are produced in factories. As for the ingredients of these lunch boxes? They are not clear and have no idea.

Looking at Xiaoya's wise eyes, Hexiang probably understood.

In fact, it was the same in Hongdong back then. Many students had no concept of agriculture. It was only when the comrades in the base area could not buy lunch boxes and other food that they had no choice but to open up fields under the leadership of Wu Hui that they gradually developed the concept of agriculture.

"Then let me ask you, suppose the base breaks up with the Pantheon now, and the Pantheon blocks trade with the base, where will the base's food come from?" He Xiang asked. It would be too complicated to explain the concept of agriculture from the beginning, so it would be better to directly raise the question and let Xiaoya figure it out herself.

Xiaoya pondered, if the entire Gehenna base was blocked, where would the lunch boxes in the convenience store come from? Xiaoya was not the kind of student who thought that lunch boxes were refreshed from the shelves.

The more Xiaoya thought about it, the more she understood why Hexiang was so anxious. There were more than 2,000 people in the base. If there was no food supply, what would happen? Xiaoya herself was getting anxious.

"So, we should quickly build a factory to produce bento?"

"What about the raw materials? Our most urgent task now is to open up new farmland!" Seeing Xiaoya still full of wisdom, Hexiang knew that this was touching on Xiaoya's blind spot. "No, this place is close to the desert, so building a hydroponic farm should be better. Anyway, Hongdong has the necessary technology and experts. I will apply for comprehensive assistance from the Third International in this regard, and you should also pay attention to it."

It seems that in this discussion, the momentum from elder sister Hongdong completely overwhelmed elder sister Xiaoya, but Ibuki just couldn't understand what they were discussing at all.

What agriculture, what bento, Ibuki only knows that pudding is delicious, but it is obvious that if the base is blocked, Ibuki's pudding will be gone.

Xiaoya put down the documents that had been piled up because of the inaction of the Wanmo Palace staff. She now fully understood the importance of agriculture. Although no one in the Spartacus Corps had experience in agriculture, since Hongdong's comrades would give them full assistance, they had to do their best to cooperate.

"Okay, I understand. I will call the executive committee members for a vote immediately. The base will connect with Hongdong as soon as possible."

There might be some shortcomings in certain areas, but He Xiang had to admit that the Spartacus comrades were quite efficient. Perhaps this had something to do with the straightforward nature of the Gehenna students? In short, the Gehenna comrades didn't like to beat around the bush and always spoke their mind.

In just one hour, the construction documents of the hydroponic farm were delivered to Hexiang. Hexiang did not hesitate and immediately reported it to the Third International.

So with this operation, the agricultural aid also caught up with the previous ammunition production line ship and will arrive together with the ammunition production line.

However, the affairs of the base have become very busy. In the suburbs relatively further north, a new construction site has been urgently opened up. This will be the agricultural production base of the Gehena base in the future.

Xiaoya, who had urgently arranged these tasks, was pulled back to her desk by various documents. She now understood why the teacher seemed to have little work to do, but had to work so late every day just to review documents.

The mess in this small town alone was enough to give Xiaoya a headache. When she thought about the teacher's mess that would be reported to the entire Kivotos...

It seemed like I was lucky. But why did she have to report something as trivial as two people bumping into each other on the way to work?! Couldn't such a thing be resolved with a mutual apology?

Xiaoya rubbed her temples. All the comrades in the base were now busy and exhausted. She only hoped that after the community became autonomous, everyone's pressure would be relieved.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 29: There's also the spy link

"So why did you come to see me?" Iori asked Kanna, who claimed to be the representative of the Spartacus Group.

She had just finished her routine patrol mission for the day and was called to the reception room before she could rest for a while.

Iori was also puzzled. Why should she, a fighter, be responsible for these things? If Ako refused to cooperate, it would be better for her to go to Chinatsu instead of her.

Kanna took a sip of the Discipline Committee's tea before replying, "Because the person we're most familiar with in the Discipline Committee is Captain Iori."

And Hina also acquiesced to the Spartacus regiment's replacement action.

So, wasn't it Hinata who ordered Ako to go to Pandemonium headquarters? Kanna couldn't figure it out for the time being. Anyway, Xiaomei was busy at the base and had no time to deal with these matters. Besides Xiaomei, Kanna was the one who was most familiar with Iori, so the task of contacting Pandemonium was given to Kanna.

Iori scratched her head. She had almost no administrative experience and was not sure about such matters, so she had to let Kanna propose the conditions, and then she would pass it on to Hina to make a decision.

"Look, there's solid evidence that Makoto is using hypnosis to try to control Gehenna. We believe we should establish a united front against Makoto's rule," Kanna said, observing Iori's expression. Seeing that Iori didn't show any unusual reaction, she continued, "We believe that while one party needs to take the lead in this united front, everyone should be equal in status."

At this point, Iori just nodded and didn't express any opinions, which made Kanna a little confused about the Disciplinary Committee's thoughts.

Ako wanted to kick the Spartacus group out. After they applied to change the negotiator, Iori seemed to agree. What on earth was Hina thinking?

In fact, this is where Kanna misunderstood Iori. Iori had no opinion at all. As long as Hinata agreed, she would agree too.

"Is that all?" Iori stopped recording and looked up.

"Well, there's also the question of how to coordinate our actions, but that's something we'll have to discuss during the formal talks."

"So that's how it is. Alright, I've taken note of your demands and will report them to Chairman Hinata later."

Kanna was completely confused. Iori didn't seem to be here to negotiate, but rather to take a statement and conduct an investigation. However, as long as their ideas could reach Hina, it would be fine. In the end, it would be Hina who had the final say on whether to cooperate or not.

According to their estimate, if everything goes smoothly, they can even overthrow Makoto before signing the treaty with Trinity. Of course, that is just an estimate, and just overthrowing Makoto is not enough.

The united front established with the common interest of opposing Makoto will inevitably fall apart in the end. The worst result is that the Spartacus Group will have to face the stranglehold of the reactionary forces of Quan Gehenna with the Discipline Committee as the core. This is also the reason for the existence of the base. At least there is a way out.

"Captain Iori! The guys from the Hot Spring Development Department have escaped from prison!"

Less than ten minutes after the meeting ended, a member of the Discipline Committee rushed in to report, and at the same time, an explosion was heard in the correctional facility of the Discipline Committee.

"These damn guys, go!"

Iori casually handed the recording tablet to the clerk beside him, then picked up the rifle and led the team towards the correctional facility. Hina was currently visiting Trinity, and she was the strongest fighter in the Discipline Committee.

The clerk had no choice but to start organizing the meeting records.

"It's okay, let me take care of this, you go and do other things."

Yazi's voice sounded, and Yazi took the tablet as usual, glanced through the meeting record, and put it away. Seeing that it was his superior, the clerk was confused but didn't know what to say, so he just said "sorry for the trouble" and left the meeting room.

[Against the great Chancellor Makoto?]

Yazi didn't say anything, but just operated twice on the tablet after confirming that there was no one around.

She cannot allow any organization that can stop Speaker Makoto's progress to exist, and the Spartacus Group also needs to be reported to Speaker Makoto.

......

Initial contact is progressing smoothly, and the Discipline Committee has agreed to the basic principle of 'unified action, independent organization.'

In the end, this was the news Xiaoya saw on the Maomaotao. She breathed a sigh of relief after having just dealt with a bunch of trivial matters.

At present, the organization is developing smoothly, the base construction is progressing slowly, and the Gehena Red Army has already developed a strong degree of organization. It is expected that it will be able to achieve the same combat effectiveness as the Discipline Committee members in a month. The cooperation with the Discipline Committee has also taken the first step, and everything is going smoothly.

However, Xiaoya was somewhat concerned about the team she saw on the street after her first meeting with the Discipline Committee.

Xiaoya had taken the time to do some research online before, and found that no club in Gehenna had a white skull as its logo. After arriving at the base, she also asked Ibuki, but Ibuki said that the team Xiaoya described did not exist in the Pandemonium Guards.

Furthermore, with the establishment of the Intelligence Department, the Spartacus Group also noticed that rumors of similar squads were circulating among ordinary students in Gehenna, with some even going as far as to say that the rumors were about the same time but in different locations.

This is enough to prove that there is more than one such group wandering around in Gehenari. So who are they and what is their goal?

If it is neither the Disciplinary Committee nor the power of Pandemonium, Xiaoya must consider the purpose of their appearance in Gehenna. Several wandering teams equipped with heavy firepower will bring too many variables to the plan of overthrowing Pandemonium. Xiaoya dare not gamble that these teams have no hostility when preparations are not sufficient.

But now there is too little intelligence, and Xiaoya can only hope that the Intelligence Department can collect more information about them.

"knock knock"

The knock on the door interrupted Xiaoya's thoughts, and Ibuki, who was reading a storybook at the side, also looked up curiously.

"Please come in."

"Comrade Chairman, the elections for the Soviet and student unions in the base area are about to begin."

A cadre came in to remind Xiaoya of the time. Only then did Xiaoya realize that she almost missed the time. This was Gehenna's first Soviet, and she couldn't be absent.

"It's already this late, Ibuki-chan, do you want to go check it out?"

"Great, Ibuki wants to go watch the Soviet elections!"

Although he didn't know what "Soviet" was, that didn't stop Ibuki from joining in the fun.

So Xiaoya took Ibuki and the cadre and left the relatively simple office together.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 30: Base Area Elections

In the past few days, the five communities in the small town have completed the election of the VIII Residents' Committee. They will serve as subordinate organizations of the new student union and manage the daily affairs of the community.

In fact, this is not the system described in the "ancient books", but a new system created by the Spartacus Corps base. Comrade Hongdong did not implement this system. Like other colleges, all management matters were led by the Student Union.

The Spartacus Corps actually had to implement this system because of a shortage of cadres. However, the residents' committee only managed daily affairs. The new student union only needed to be able to integrate the power of these communities.

Besides, no matter what system it is, it will eventually die out. Xiaoya is looking forward to the arrival of Kivotos, where there is no distinction between colleges and everyone is equal and united.

After walking less than 400 meters with Ibuki, Xiaoya arrived at the central square of the town. After all, the longest distance in the entire city was only about 1,200 meters, which was enough to walk from the edge to the center.

There are a total of more than 200 candidates in the five communities who stand up to canvass for votes. It can be seen that everyone's enthusiasm is still very high. In the end, 21 people will be selected from these 200 people as representatives to form the Soviet Congress.

It is said that the conference was held, but the population of the base area was so small that it was normal for the Soviet to be small. Moreover, the local student population only consisted of students of the Spartacus League. It was foreseeable that most of the Soviet representatives would be citizens.

"It's so lively, Sister Xiaoya, is this the election?" Ibuki pointed at the temporary stage where a cat citizen was canvassing for votes for himself. Xiaoya listened carefully to the content and found that he was saying that if they voted for him, he would guarantee that everyone would make a lot of money and live a good life.

Xiaoya felt a little awkward, but then she thought, these citizens had never understood communitarianism, so it was normal for them to express their simple yearning for a better life. However, ideological education for the residents of the base area should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. She heard that Comrade Hongdong was already compiling a concise charter of communitarianism to be included in the teaching materials for faculty and staff.

"This is part of the election. Now is the canvassing phase. After that there will be voting, counting and public speaking phases. Only when these phases are completed will the entire election process be over."

"Then Sister Mei, can Ibuki also participate in the election?"

"Of course you can. Ibuki is a student and has the right to vote and be elected."

Xiaoya said that she also had the right to vote, but she didn't know many of these citizens, and everyone's opinions were very simple, so Xiaoya felt that it didn't matter who she voted for.

Almost all the townspeople were crowded in the square and there was still some chaos, but under the organization of forty Red Army soldiers, everyone still maintained basic order.

At least people can queue up to vote and there is rarely any queue-jumping.

The voting ended quickly and Anna quickly counted the results.

To Xiaoya's surprise, the student leader who went to every community to publicize the Spartacus League's policies received the highest number of votes. Even though she did not go on stage to canvass for votes, nearly one-third of the residents cast their votes for her.

So, according to the number of votes, this cadre became the first chairman of the first Soviet Congress of Gehenna.

Next, they will be ranked downwards according to the number of votes. The top 21 people will become Soviet representatives. If there is a tie for the 21st place, the people with the same ranking will be pulled out for a re-vote. However, this did not happen this time, which saved a lot of trouble.

Xiaoya doesn't care much about the Soviet Congress. Now the Soviet Congress in Gehenna... to be honest, it has more symbolic significance than practical significance. Except for that cadre, these elected representatives don't even have the concept of communitarianism. At best, they are just stamping machines for the new student union.

For the Soviet Congress to be truly effective, it must wait until these delegates truly understand communalism.

What Xiaoya is really concerned about is the upcoming election of the new student union. Next, these Soviet representatives will elect a new student union president based on the nomination of the Spartacus Group... To be precise, the new chairman of the board of directors, because the student union president is Ibuki.

After discussion, Xiaoya and the others decided to simply not touch the mascot Ibuki. After all, Ibuki is still quite popular in Gehenna. Now that Ibuki is in their hands, they naturally have to make good use of it.

Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed to retain Ibuki's position as the president of the student union, but Ibuki still had no real power. The Spartacus Group established a new board of directors to replace Pandemonium, and the president of the board of directors exercised the power to manage the academy.

However, since it was the Soviet representatives who made the choice, Xiaoya's prestige was not of much use. Instead, because Eri often trained the Red Army and organized the Red Army to help citizens repair some devices from time to time, these Soviet representatives were more familiar with Eri than Xiaoya.

As for the other nominees, I have even less impression of them. Ultimately, it was because they were pressed for time. Xiaoya and the others had to get the base up and running as soon as possible, so they had no time to interact with the residents.

In short, Eri became the president of the Gehenna Council, and Kazuka immediately recorded this result.

After all, this was the first time in Kivotos that the number one person in the organization and the number one person in the student union were not the same person. This was a very valuable experience that could be recorded and included in the database of the Third International for future reference.

The election is over. Eri will draft an appointment list and submit it to the Soviet Congress for approval. After approval, the Gehenna Council will be formed. At that time, the Spartacus Corps Executive Committee will be able to withdraw from the management of the base and focus on managing the affairs of the organization.

It should have been like this, but Xiaoya clearly saw Eri fill in three big words after the administrator, "Suzuki Mei".

It is foreseeable that she will have to work part-time on the affairs of the organization and the base for some time to come.
