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

"We're here, huh... Teacher, students from the cram school, and everyone from the discipline committee, welcome to the Gehenna base." Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief after getting off the train of the Saint Nephthys Group. On the platform, Anna had already brought people to greet her.

"To be precise, our official name is 'Gehenna Soviet Academy'. Welcome everyone." Anna said with a smile on the platform along with several cadres. During the time she worked at the base, the large amount of affairs she handled did make her mature a lot.

As an accountant, she needs to liaise with various departments and go to various community committees from time to time to supervise the expenditure of funds. All these things have helped her correct her introverted personality.

Although she was still a little unsure about facing strangers, at least she could take a deep breath and face them head-on.

"Is this the territory of the Spartacus Group?" Iori got off the carriage, and two discipline committee members behind him carried Hina, who was still unconscious, on a stretcher.

Iori looked around and found that the town was not large. The most conspicuous things were the factories and hydroponic farms not far away.

"Sister Xiaoya! Welcome back! Oh, and the teacher too!"

Ibuki was of course among the welcoming staff. Although she was the president, she actually didn't have much work to do. Or rather, welcoming foreign guests was her job.

Ibuki threw herself into the teacher's arms, and the teacher picked her up with a smile.

"No, so Makoto came to our Disciplinary Committee and caused a lot of trouble, but President Ibuki is here with you?"

Iori raised his eyebrows. Thinking of how Makoto had caused a commotion in their Disciplinary Committee before, Iori felt that the Disciplinary Committee had really taken on too much for the Spartacus Group.

"Don't look at us like that. President Ibuki was given to us by Iroha-senpai himself."

"Iroha? She isn't?"

"Yes, she was controlled by Makoto, but she seemed to be able to struggle to wake up. She even gave us a bottle of pills, although she returned to her controlled state before she could tell us what they were for."

Xiaoya explained, but now they also knew what the pills were used for, but there was no chemical industry in the base, so these pills were sealed up.

Even after returning to the base, we cannot be careless. The Pandemonium has been gradually taking over the areas outside the central area, and the base will be discovered sooner or later. However, the good news is that according to the intelligence department's information, not all cities are willing to obey the Pandemonium. Now the Disciplinary Committee of the first city has taken control and the local Pandemonium secretary has declared that he will not obey Makoto's jurisdiction.

Even though it was Ako who issued the order, many members of the Discipline Committee were still dissatisfied with accepting the control of Pandemonium. In the past, they were under pressure from Hina, but now...

Perhaps the Spartacus Group can use Hinai to integrate those disciplinary committee members?

Once there is the first one, there will be the second one. Xiaoya estimates that it won’t be long before Gehenna’s chicken-eating competition will break out. The Spartacus Group must now seize this short time and intensify preparations.

"By the way, teacher, and everyone in the cram school, we've already contacted the train. You can follow our next ammunition train back to Trinity via Abydos. Thank you again for your help."

Xiaoya turned around and spoke to the teachers, and pointed to another train parked nearby, which was loading a batch of ammunition bound for Abydos and the black market.

"Xiaoya, can you handle Gehenna's affairs?"

The teacher asked. He needed to confirm that Makoto had mastered a strange technique. It was impossible for the teacher to help Makoto hurt other students. But now he was entangled in the affairs of the Holy Trinity and couldn't get away. For the first time, he felt that human power was limited.

Xiaoya and Anna Eri looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, teacher. Our Spartacus group won't be defeated so easily."

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 48 Emergency Meeting

Finally, after the teacher promised to "have dinner with Eri after everything is over", they boarded the return train.

This time it was Koya's turn to look at Eri with an ambiguous look, but the latter was not as shy as Koya. Instead, she proudly held up her pair of front armor, which was the largest in the former four-person team.

"I just like the teacher, what's wrong with that?"

Well, announcing such a thing on the platform in front of a hundred people made the leader of the "German Soviet Academy" receive a lot of hostile looks.

For example, their political ally, Ginkyo Iori, the current head of the Orthodox Disciplinary Committee.

"Go away, don't worry about these trivial things, just go back to your post!" Xiaoya slapped Eri unhappily. They didn't have time to start another mini civil war in the base over relationship issues.

The communication has not been cut off. Now the tense atmosphere in Gehena has attracted the attention of many students and citizens. They have to stabilize the people's hearts in the base.

Moreover, for the civil war, the combined strength of their seven squads and Iori's mobile team is definitely not enough. To put it bluntly, the strength of Pandemonium's troops is greater than the population of the base.

There is still too little time. If they are given a year to develop, perhaps the strength comparison between Pandemonium and Spartacus Corps will be reversed.

......

“That’s the situation at the moment.”

Without a moment's rest, Xiaoya immediately assembled the executive committee to hold an emergency meeting after returning to the base.

Theoretically, this matter should have been discussed by the Soviet Congress, but now those Soviet representatives have only just understood the basic concept of communalism. If we rely on them, the resolution they will probably make will be to surrender to Pandemonium.

Therefore, Xiaoya and the others have no choice but to let the executive committee of the Spartacus Group perform the duties of the Soviet Congress. The current Soviet Congress is only responsible for approving some daily affairs.

Of course, this does not mean that the current Soviet Congress is completely useless. Even so, Xiaoya will hold the Soviet election as scheduled.

It would be disastrous if the Executive Committee replaced the Soviet Congress for too long and political inertia developed, making it difficult to separate the organization from the student union.

"The Pantheon has completely taken control of the Central District and some surrounding areas, but their forces encountered obstacles as they advanced eastward. The Second Branch's Discipline Committee did not approve of Yazi's reorganization of the Discipline Committee. They have taken control of the entire Second Branch, creating a standoff with the Central District."

Xiaoya gestured on the electronic version of the detailed map of Gehenna. The Disciplinary Committee of the Second Branch Campus was only the first group of forces opposing Makoto. In a day or two, more opposition forces would emerge.

“So, we can currently use these opposing forces to buy time for our war preparations, but our own shortcomings are also obvious.

"No one. Even if we incorporated all the comrades we rescued into the Red Army, we'd only have the size of a disciplinary committee company." Eri tapped the table. "Furthermore, we have no source of weapons. Our base is too small, with no military industry other than ammunition production. We must expand and take control of a branch campus."

The executive committee members nodded in agreement with Eri's statement that Gehenna has a total of five campuses.

The base is just a small town on the edge of the fifth campus.

"Then let's take a look at the situation in the fifth campus." Xiaoya said, enlarging the map of the fifth campus on the projection screen.

The fifth campus is the campus farthest from the central area and is also the largest campus in eastern Gehenna. The administrative center of the campus is the most important port in Gehenna. The various equipment previously provided by Hongdong were transported to the base from this port.

As long as we take this place, the base will be able to directly receive assistance from Comrade Hongdong.

"Also, the Pandemonium Guards at the port have also launched an operation against the Fifth Campus Discipline Committee, but their actions are not as smooth as those in the Central District, and they are currently fighting for control of the port.

"We can take this opportunity to gather our forces and cooperate with the Discipline Committee to take this place down."

Cooperate with Iori and the others, and take over the fifth campus under the banner of the Discipline Committee, so that they can gain the student population and expand the Red Army. This is Xiaoya's idea, but there are some problems in doing so.

"First, we have the issue of our cadres. We are already struggling to manage a base area, so how can we manage the Fifth Campus with a population of over 200,000?

"Secondly, there's the issue of our troop strength. According to the intelligence department, the Pandemonium Guards and the Discipline Committee currently fighting in the harbor number at least a thousand men. We can only mobilize a maximum of sixty men. How can we change the situation on the battlefield?

"Third, the power comparison between us and the Discipline Committee. If we take over the Fifth Campus, the Discipline Committee's power will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced. Will Ginkyo Iori still cooperate with us then?"

Anna stood up and asked all her questions in one breath, and the executive committee members immediately began to discuss.

Xiaoya then stood up and continued, "We can't solve the cadre problem at the moment. We can only rely on the limited cadres we have now and the Discipline Committee to form a joint student union. As for the military force, I will directly take action and carry out a decapitation operation against the Pandemonium guards. As for the Discipline Committee..."

Xiaoya thought for a moment and continued, "I can't guarantee that, but we all have a common enemy right now. I believe that Iori-senpai knows how to prioritize."

Finally, she jokingly said, "We have to take action anyway. If we don't, are we just going to die in the base? Whether Iori will cooperate with us or not, we have to take over the Fifth Campus first. If he really doesn't cooperate with us, we can just go back to the base and think of other ways. It won't be worse than sitting here doing nothing, right?"

This is indeed the case at present. They also want to develop steadily. The comrades of Hongdong have gone through two years of careful preparations before they took over the power of Hongdong in one fell swoop. But the situation in Gehenna changed so suddenly. The current bad situation urged the Spartacus Group to move forward. Once they slowed down a little, let alone the revolution, they might even fall into the abyss.

Moreover, they must end this civil war as soon as possible. The unrest came too quickly and no one had time to react.

You know, across the river from Gehenna is their arch-enemy, the Holy Trinity.

Hinai is in a coma, the person who pushed for a peace treaty with Trinity is gone, and Gehenna is caught in a civil war. Can Trinity remain neutral and not intervene in Gehenna's situation?

Xiaoya was unsure. If Trinity truly supported the Disciplinary Committee for peace, then it would be fine. But if Trinity wanted to completely eliminate its old enemy, now would be the best time.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 49 Comrades, take action!

[No matter what challenges lie ahead, take action first.]

This has been Xiaoya's creed from beginning to end, and this concept naturally also influenced the Spartacus Group founded by Xiaoya.

The problem of the attitude of the Disciplinary Committee, the issue of Trinity's involvement... let's put all of these aside for now. If the Pantheon takes control of the Fifth Campus, they will be in big trouble.

The emergency meeting ended successfully. Now that everyone's thoughts were unified, it was time to unify their actions. Xingnai went to report the content of the meeting and the decision-making situation to the Soviet Congress. Although the representatives did not have a good understanding of the strategic and tactical issues, after Xingnai's detailed explanation, the majority of the representatives still passed the resolution to expand to the fifth campus.

After obtaining approval, Anna mobilized the members of the Central District Branch who returned to the base to reorganize into the Fifth Campus Branch. However, since Kanna was temporarily unable to work, the secretary of the new branch needed to be re-elected.

Surprisingly, the candidate nominated by these members was not an old member of the original Central District branch, but a former union backbone who temporarily joined the organization on the train.

When Anna reported this to Xiaoya, Xiaoya also agreed to this candidate based on the resolution of the executive committee.

A former union backbone, he is not only an activist but also has certain management experience. It is no wonder that everyone would nominate such a person.

As for why this former union backbone joined the organization so late, Xiaoya has also read her file. In fact, it was just because she and a group of other comrades were suddenly attacked by the Pantheon when they were preparing for the joining ceremony. It was an accident and she couldn't be blamed.

The cadre team was ready, and at the same time, negotiations with the Discipline Committee were underway. As the military commissioner, Eri informed Iori of the Spartacus Group's plan, and Iori was also eager to restore the Discipline Committee organization, even if it was just a branch campus. So after hearing that the organization wanted to unite the Discipline Committee of the fifth campus, Iori immediately summoned the Discipline Committee members without even taking a break.

Although the discipline committee members looked exhausted, Eri didn't care. She didn't expect them to be of much use. The Spartacus Group just needed the banner of the Discipline Committee.

As for Xiaoya, after everyone discussed, the Red Army members who withdrew from the central area were exhausted. Even Class 2, which had not experienced too fierce a battle, found it difficult to continue fighting because they had not slept since yesterday.

So everyone decided to transfer the second squad to the black market base for rest and regroup, and transfer the first squad back to participate in the decapitation operation.

That’s right, including Xiaoya, the Spartacus Regiment only sent out eleven people in total.

For a large battlefield with thousands of people, a dozen or dozens of people are actually the same. They can't cause much trouble anyway, unless you can mobilize a team of hundreds of people. For a decapitation operation, the fewer people the better.

"Sister Xiaoya, are you leaving again?"

Ibuki looked at Xiaomei with tears in her eyes as she was about to board the train.

Xiaoya was busy dealing with black market affairs before and didn't have much time to go back to the base. All in all, she only met Ibuki twice last week, and both times were not long.

Xiaoya smiled and touched Ibuki's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't be long before Ibuki can go to the big city and taste the pudding inside.

"Ibuki, wait here with that Kazuka-nee-san for us to come back."

Ibuki nodded. She had been studying with Waka during this period. From mathematics to politics, Ibuki showed great talent. Now Waka could even explain advanced mathematics to Ibuki.

Such talent could not help but make Waka sigh. Fortunately, Ibuki is now being educated by the Spartacus Group. If she were left in Pandemonium, who knows if she would become a smarter Makoto?

"Comrade He Xiang, I'm counting on you."

"It's okay. I'm honored to be able to help Comrade Gehenna."

Hexiang smiled and accepted Xiaoya's commission. In fact, she also liked Ibuki, a cute and smart child. In addition to studying, Hexiang would take Ibuki to factories and hydroponic farms to interact with the workers and understand their situation and wishes. Ibuki always got along well with everyone.

Who doesn’t like the cute little YiQ*UN Yiqiu|7Dad Things?

Following the last Red Army member onto the train, Xiaoya prepared her weapon and sat in her seat with her eyes narrowed.

The combat mission and details had been discussed long before getting on the bus, and there was even a small meeting for the Red Army members to discuss whether there were any areas for improvement. Now Xiaoya had to take the time to rest.

After all, she herself hadn't slept all night, just like Class 2, and was feeling a little sleepy now.

The train was heading north. Originally, because of the chaos in Gehenna, the Highland Railway Academy had already stopped the trains in Gehenna. However, the Highland Academy was not a monolithic entity. Almost every independent society on each line had their own ideas. The Spartacus Group, which was backed by the Saint Nephthys Group, had already requisitioned the trains parked at the base with Nomiya's tacit consent.

Now the conductor on the train was driving the train carelessly according to the procedures. The Spartacus Regiment did not treat them unfairly and the funds they should receive were still paid, so she had nothing to say.

Although I feel a little unhappy about outsiders interfering in the railway industry, I still have to eat.

Therefore, even though their attitude was bad, the students of Highland College who were in charge of the road section of the fifth campus did not take any strike action against the Spartacus Group.

"The train has arrived at the Gehenna Fifth Campus Suburban Station. Passengers getting off please take your belongings with you..."

Xiaoya was woken up by the train arrival announcement. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her phone. She had slept for about an hour.

The Discipline Committee and the Pandemonium Guards are in a standoff in the urban area of ​​the Fifth Campus, so the train cannot drive in directly. Therefore, Xiaoya and the others have to walk from here.

The environment here is much better. It is no longer a desert like the one near the border of Abydos Desert. Like Gehenna, except for the volcanic area, it has a mild climate and sufficient rainfall.

"Then, we'll split up next." Xiaoya looked at Iori, who was getting off the car with the discipline committee members, and said, "Iori-senpai, is everything okay on your end?"

"Of course, as the captain of the mobile team, I often have to carry out missions in various places in Gehenna. The discipline committee members in various places know me."

Seeing Iori so confident, Xiaoya felt relieved. She was afraid that if they helped the Discipline Committee win, the Discipline Committee members would turn against them and refuse to acknowledge their decision. That would be troublesome.

"Good luck with your operation, Comrade Arisato. Let's go."

After greeting the Red Army rioters from the previous shift, Xiaoya led the team towards the city.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 50: Fire Captain Iori

To be honest, when the discipline committee members of the fifth campus received the so-called order from their superiors, they were very confused.

What does it mean to immediately lay down your weapons and accept Pandemonium's control? This goes against their usual habits. Most of the people who joined the Discipline Committee originally disliked Pandemonium's ways, but now they're being asked to surrender to Pandemonium out of the blue—who can handle that?

Moreover, the person who issued the order was Administrator Ako instead of Chairman Hina, and the organization signed at the end was the Reorganization of the Discipline Committee instead of the Discipline Committee, which made many discipline committee members hesitate.

That evening, the discipline committee members of the fifth campus immediately split into two factions. One faction questioned the order and insisted that they should not lay down their weapons, while the other faction believed that the discipline committee members should obey the instructions of their superiors and lay down their weapons.

If the chaos was maintained like this, the Pandemonium Guards of the Fifth Campus would not have to work too hard to eliminate the rebellious Discipline Committee members and control the entire Fifth Campus.

However, the chaos in the Disciplinary Committee did not last long, as Pandemonium headquarters announced Hinai's "death".

As a result, the discipline committee members of the fifth campus immediately reached a compromise. Regardless of whether they refused to lay down their weapons or were determined to carry out orders from their superiors, they all agreed that it was Pandemonium who murdered Hinai, and they wanted to take up arms to resist Pandemonium.
