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

Of course, Xiaoya and the others thought it through and no longer expected the Soviet to be responsible for diplomatic affairs. These matters were handed over to the Council for handling, while the Soviet focused on legislation and approval of the Council's work.

In addition, the size of the Gehenna Red Army was also expanded.

Based on the previous seventy people, the size of the Gehenna Red Army quickly expanded to seven hundred people, which is equivalent to one old member leading nine new members.

However, there is no need to worry too much about the ideology. Two hundred of these new members are members of the Spartacus Corps. The current Gehenna Red Army not only has ordinary infantry, but also artillery and armored troops. This is thanks to the tanks that Makoto sent to the Pandemonium Guard of the Fifth Campus.

Only the first batch of these tanks were used in the battle against the Discipline Committee. The second batch was seized by Xiaoya and the others just after they got off the ship. The Red Army scumbags all called Makoto the "Transport Captain."

The Fifth Campus has its own military factory. After the Spartacus Regiment stabilized the local order, its first task was to restart the production of weapons. Now all the Gehenna Red Army has been equipped with standard equipment. Of course, Xiaoya and the others did not send these weapons to the black market, as the black market was already chaotic enough.

This meeting was an all-organizational meeting of the Spartacus Group, mainly to summarize the gains and losses of everyone's work over the past month.

One of the most serious problems is what Xiaoya mentioned before, that is, the citizens and students do not understand the ideas of the Spartacus Corps.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Xiaoya and the others don't dare stay in the Wanmo Hall management system of the fifth campus. Who knows if Makoto has fed them pills?

So the Spartacus Group had to take over the management of the entire Fifth Campus, which made everyone very busy. In the first few days, Xiaoya even directly transferred personnel from the Red Army.

Rather, Xiaoya was surprised that the Spartacus Regiment was able to establish the management system of the Fifth Campus within a month and also completed the tasks of expanding the army and resuming production.

But these are not excuses for the propaganda work to fall behind. It is good if other tasks are completed in excess, but it is bad if the propaganda tasks are not completed. Only by daring to criticize and self-criticize can the organization remain pure and flourish.

"Xiaoya, are you really that anxious about this?" Eri asked in confusion. In her opinion, the most important thing now should be to prepare for war.

"Comrade Eri, have you gone mad from working for the Red Army?" Xiaoya, who had just finished her speech and returned to her seat, listened to Eri's question. She tapped her fingers on the table before continuing, "It's impossible for our military to surpass Pandemonium in the short term. So if we want to win, there's only one way: mobilize the vast majority of students and citizens and drown Pandemonium in a sea of ​​popular opposition. But Eri, do you know what?"

Xiaoya was a little excited. The investigation she had done during her free time two days ago really made her feel uncomfortable.

"Those people, they are afraid of us!"

Xiaoya could never forget the frightened looks on the faces of several citizens on their way to work when she spoke to them and saw the badge on her chest.

"Ah... In short, this is an important task that must be carried out as soon as possible. No, it must be carried out immediately after this meeting."

Born from the Flames of War: Chapter 2: The Holy Trinity Transformation

How should we carry out this work? Ancient texts say that we must rely on the masses, but they also say that the masses were not initially a conscious class. They did not understand their own strength and were even brainwashed by the previous oppressive class for a long time, causing their minds to spontaneously protect the oppressive class.

To break this situation, we can only rely on the Spartacus Group to indoctrinate the masses with ideology. Of course, the Spartacus Group is just a teacher, a positive teacher. The masses have many other teachers, negative teachers, such as Pandemonium.

Previously, it was not known whether the Pantheon had used a weakened version of the pill to turn a large number of student workers in the military factory and the port into stiff puppets. However, after these controlled student workers were knocked down by Xiaoya and the others, they returned to normal when they woke up again. In the words of the victims, they even retained the memory of being controlled before.

When they were controlled, their brains were actually awake, but they could not control their own actions and could only helplessly watch themselves moving repetitively and stiffly like robots.

Now that the Spartacus League had liberated them from this situation, these student workers immediately became loyal supporters of the Spartacus League. In fact, many of the expanded members of the Spartacus League came from these student workers.

Therefore, it is natural to start the mass work with these student workers. Xiaoya and her colleagues have the habit of organizing study sessions. Many of these student workers also understand the ideas of the Spartacus Group. Through these students' personal social networks, the Spartacus Group has sent many cadres to chat with the masses.

Yes, they were just chatting. Xiaoya and the others knew very well that it was impossible to eliminate the fear of the masses in the short term. This fear was the root cause of the long-term high-pressure rule of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace.

The masses need time to get to know these Spartacus students who seem to be much kinder than the Pandemonium officials, and the Spartacus is willing to spend this time.

"The key is to be kind and not have a condescending attitude. Just treat it as if we are there to listen to the people's complaints." This is what Xiaoya said when summarizing his working methods.

These are the experiences she summarized from analyzing her previous psychology and the period after being fired.

She still could not forget what the captured helmeted commander had said to her in Abydos.

"Are you one of those rich girls from Trinity?"

Come to think of it, at that time she might have looked down on those helmeted groups in her heart.

In short, relevant work is already underway, but it will take time to eliminate the grudges between us and the masses.

......

Trinity, more than a month has passed since the teacher was commissioned by Nagisa to become a consultant for the cram school.

From the second test, things seemed to be heading in an irreversible direction. Nagisa's mental state...

Although she tried her best to maintain her normal appearance, the teacher could see from many details that Nagisa was in a very bad condition.

Especially when Pandemonium announced Hinata's "death", Nagisa even treated his teacher with kelp instead of black tea when inviting him to a meeting.

However, the teacher also confirmed with Mei and Eri. After being told that what Pandemon announced was a rumor and receiving a photo of Hina at the base, Nagisa's mental state improved a little.

But looking at the madness in Nagisa's eyes, the teacher felt that something bad was going to happen. However, Nagisa refused the teacher's inquiry and just asked the teacher to take care of the problems in the cram school.

Then? The teacher couldn't remember clearly what happened next. He only remembered that he was preparing for the third exam when he was knocked unconscious by the impact of an explosion.

[So...where am I now?]

The teacher struggled to get up, only to find himself in a prison, with his tablet and other belongings nowhere to be found.

"What exactly is going on?"

Sitting on a single bed, the teacher looked out through the iron bars in a daze. Azusa, Hifumi, Hanako... Koharu didn't see them. Wait, there's also Nagisa?

Nagisa was still wearing the complicated and expensive tea party uniform, holding her teacup which was probably an antique, filled with a cup of black tea as expected, but she was just sitting on the bed now.

"Nagisa-kun?! Why are you here too?"

Hearing the teacher's voice, Nagisa placed the teacup on a simple table and looked at the teacher. The suppressed madness in her eyes was gone, replaced by deep sadness.

"Teacher, you're awake. I'm sorry, I messed up everything..."

"No, what's going on?"

"It was Mika. Mika staged a coup and locked us all up. I'm sorry, teacher... I shouldn't have hidden it from you. The cram school was originally set up to..."

"To expel the traitor, huh?"

"Uh, teacher?"

The teacher sighed. He didn't understand the twists and turns between the tea party and what happened at Trinity, but he was not a fool. He could see that Hanako was deliberately failing the exam. Naturally, with Hanako's intentional or unintentional hints, the teacher could also get a glimpse of Nagisa's idea of ​​opening a cram school.

"So, Nagisa, can you tell me why you are hiding this from everyone?" the teacher asked.

"I..."

"It's probably because Lady Shengya was attacked."

Before Nagisa could say anything, the prison door opened and a student the teacher had never seen before walked in with two tea party guards, Zaojiao.

"Bunsuke, you..."

"Hello, teacher. My name is Toki Kei Bunsuke, and I'm Miss Mika's administrative secretary." The girl, dressed like an ordinary tea party organizer, faced the teacher, stepped back one foot, bent her knees slightly, and lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, which was a standard curtsy.

"I'm sorry to have you all endure this harsh environment for a while, but for the sake of Mika-sama's vision, I hope you will understand."

At least from the perspective of etiquette, this classmate Wen Jie gave enough face. It would have been even better if the scene was not in the prison.

Now the situation looks more like the victor of the coup showing off to her captives.

After saying this, Wenjie left without any further action. It seemed that she really just came to ask for everyone's understanding.

However, judging from Nagisa's hesitation and Hanako's pensive look, things might not be that simple.

The Patel faction did not make things difficult for those who lost in the coup, and the prison did not have any strict management system. At least the conversations between them were not prohibited by the Justice Department officials on duty.

"So Hanako-san and Nagisa-san, what else are you hiding from me?"

Born from the Fires of War: Chapter 3: Attacking on All Fronts

What exactly happened at Trinity? It's not hard to understand. Trinity itself is a large institution formed by the union of several smaller colleges, both large and small. Naturally, there were many conflicts within the institution, the most typical of which was the conflict between the Patel faction, which advocated radical opposition to Gehenna, and the Filius faction, which advocated reconciliation with Gehenna.

Previously, since the leaders of the three tea party factions were childhood friends, and the Sancutes faction also supported Nagisa's decisions, they were able to suppress the conflicts. However, after the leader of the Sancutes faction, Yurizono Seiya, was assassinated, the balance of power between the two sides changed.

Nagisa, whose paranoia grew due to the stabbing of her childhood friend, barely managed to stabilize the tea party by declaring a state of emergency. However, after Pandemonium announced Hina's "death" and fell into a divisive civil war, the plan to sign a treaty was completely shattered.

The Patel faction's power immediately gained the upper hand. Even if Weihua didn't want to take action, the power behind her would push her to do so.

So the coup happened, Weihua just nodded, and the Patel faction took action, controlling the radio, arresting the tea party host, declaring martial law...

By the time Weihua realized what she had done, the power of Trinity had fallen into the hands of the Patel faction. This efficiency was as if it had been rehearsed many times.

No matter what Weihua thinks, as the leader of the Patel faction, she must step forward to take charge of the situation, even if she is just a vase.

The Sisters never interfered in the affairs of the tea party, and the Ministry of Justice Realization was simply a society directly under the tea party host. Now that Weihua had stepped forward to serve as the new host, they had no objection.

Now the entire Holy Trinity is under the control of the Patel faction and has begun the process of military preparation.

......

"Is Kanna still like this?"

Xiaoya took the time to return to the base. Kannai and other comrades who were fed pills were imprisoned there. Their weapons and communication equipment were confiscated, and they were isolated in single cells.

"Yes, Comrade Chairman, the comrades of the Central District branch usually look no different from their normal selves, but whenever this TV broadcasts a report about Gehenna, they all shout something like 'Long live Makoto'."

The Red Army squad was in charge of guarding them, and the prison was newly built this month.

How to deal with these controlled comrades was indeed a tricky problem for the Spartacus Corps. Based on the experience of the student workers who had regained consciousness, Xiaoya and the others knocked all of these comrades unconscious one by one, but they were still the same after waking up.

The pills obtained from Irohana were also sent to the chemistry laboratory of the fifth campus for analysis, but no conclusion has been drawn yet. The only conclusion is that it is unlikely that the pill is not a chemical substance, but it is also unlikely that it is a chemical substance.

Helplessly, everyone had to give up the idea of ​​waking up these comrades. They first built a prison in the base and stuffed them in, and then made plans after defeating the Pantheon.

Xiaoya had to take a last look at Kanna and other comrades who were watching TV in the prison, and then boarded the train to the black market.

This time she just came to see how Nekoshi and Yijiurei were doing. Her real mission was to take the fifty or so Red Army soldiers behind her to the black market for training.

Due to the serious expansion, although the Red Army can still ensure ideological purity, its combat effectiveness is difficult to guarantee. Almost every team has only one old member. How much combat effectiveness can it exert?

Although the relationship between the control area and the Hot Spring Development Department and the Emergency Committee is not very good, it is not tense either. Everyone's primary enemy is still the Pandemonium, so Xiaoya and the others will not directly bring people to cause any conflicts or frictions with the Hot Spring Development Department and the Emergency Committee.

After much thought, the black market is still the most suitable place for training. It just so happens that Xiaoya did not stay in the black market before, and the group of ten people stationed there could not intimidate the bad girls around. Many gangs began to infiltrate the Fourth Street again, and this time it was a good opportunity to deal with them all again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Yuri."

Xiaoya hadn't been to the black market in the past month, but from Youli's tired look, it could be seen that the group of ten people were almost burned out in the black market.

It is indeed difficult for ten people plus a relatively small cadre team to manage this street with a population of more than 2,000 people. Not only do they have to pay attention to safety issues, but they also have to take into account street management issues. However, the changes here over the past month have been significant.

The most obvious thing is that Fourth Street is so clean that it doesn't look like a black market. The merchants have developed the habit of cleaning on their own. If a student who doesn't know the truth accidentally walks in here, she might think she is in the self-governing area of ​​a large college.

The business regulations of merchants have also been improved a lot. The trade of contraband such as weapons, tobacco and alcohol has been completely banned. Merchants who originally did business in this area have been incorporated as cooperative merchants of the Spartacus Group, selling some products shipped from the base.

The Fourth Street is now a weirdo in the black market. It doesn't engage in the most profitable trades such as arms, tobacco and alcohol, but instead engages in industries such as daily necessities. However, many bad girls and citizens really have such needs.

The black market has now become an important dumping ground for the Spartacus Corps' industrial products. After the industrial production of the Fifth Campus was restored, the market lost due to the civil war was made up on the black market. This is why the Spartacus Corps' current financial reserves have not been affected.

"So what the central government is saying is that we can't just limit ourselves to Fourth Street. We need to expand outward. The more areas in the black market like Fourth Street we have, the more help we will have in liberating all of Gehenna."

Fifty Red Army soldiers were sent to clean up the bad girls who did not abide by the rules set by the Spartacus Group. Xiaoya and Yuri entered the Spartacus Group's black market office together, where Xiaoya conveyed the opinions of the executive committee.

This would inevitably lead to conflict with other major black market forces, but firstly, they didn't intend to become a giant all at once; secondly, the Spartacus Group had the support of at least one-fifth of Gehenna. It wasn't impossible to gradually devour the entire black market.

"But Comrade Chairman, we are short of manpower, and not just the armed forces. If the organization's goal is to completely integrate the entire black market, then a single office cannot support the governance work here." This is an objective difficulty, lack of manpower, this problem has plagued them since the birth of the Spartacus Group.

"Yes, the central organization has also considered this issue, so we discussed and decided to set up a black market branch of the Spartacus Group." Xiaoya also brought with him the branch's establishment documents and Youli's appointment documents.

Born from the flames of war: Chapter 4: I, Huizi, have long been a staunch member of the Spartacus Group.

Keiko Hayakawa, a second-year student, was a former member of the tank manufacturing club. She later quit the club because she was afraid of being controlled by Makoto and joined the Spartacus reading club.

So, how is Huizi doing now after experiencing the destruction of the Central District Branch of the Spartacus League?

Keiko was still very lucky. She did not join the Spartacus Corps, but was basically a reserve member, and she was also enthusiastic about union activities. When Kanna and the others destroyed the data, they also destroyed Keiko's data. Therefore, Pandemonium did not cause trouble for Keiko, a semi-peripheral member.

Now Huizi is hiding in the "Gehenna Mineral Water Factory" where Xiaoya had previously instigated a strike. She has gathered some core members of the union and organized a small secret union in a workshop. Of course, it stops there.

Under Makoto's high-pressure militarized policy, most of the people who could organize this small union were former union backbones in this workshop. Moreover, Keiko's union could only be regarded as an organization for student workers to chat with each other, and its combativeness was almost non-existent.

With only a handful of people from their workshop, what kind of trouble could they possibly stir up? Battalions of Pandemonium guards were patrolling the streets. Once the factory management reported them, the Pandemonium guards outside would immediately come in and enforce their six-stick-a-second policy. Now they were in perfect harmony with everyone else.

So even though Huizi had previously scoffed at the vanguard theory advocated by Xiaoya and the others, thinking it was just a replica of monopoly power, she now had to admit that only Xiaoya and the others' highly centralized and disciplined organizational structure could grow and develop in a high-pressure environment like Makoto's.

Based on this, Huizi concluded that Xiaoya and the others must have rebuilt a branch in the central district, but because of their secrecy, she had not found it yet.

Now Keiko wants to find the organization as soon as possible, join it quickly, and then go to the rear. Makoto's militarized policy of requiring student workers to work eight hours a day and voluntarily work overtime for four hours is too difficult to cope with.

What? You're saying Huizi can't do it herself? That's not possible. The Pandemonium has blocked all routes to the east, unless one travels through the wilderness... but even then, there's a chance of being captured by the Pandemonium guards patrolling the blockade, and if caught, they'll be forced into the army.

However, Huizi heard that a club hijacked a ship during the chaos a month ago and escaped from Gehenna by sea. She didn't know what their fate was. She remembered that the club seemed to be called...Fishing Club?

"Ring ring ring!"

The urgent ringing of the work bell brought Huizi back to her senses. The short half-hour lunch break was over and the foreman was already shouting at them to go to work.

Huizi did not dare to be negligent. After all, the foreman was not alone. He was followed by a so-called "worker supervision team" selected by the foreman, who was despised by the student workers. These supervision teams were responsible for assisting the foreman in supervising the student workers, but they also had to work themselves. Occasionally, if the foreman was happy, he might give them some benefits.
