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

The three of them had no objection. Xiaoya and the others didn't believe in sea gods, let alone Jiro's description. Jiro's so-called sea god, in Xiaoya's opinion, was nothing more than some kind of whale. As for the hard shell? It was possible for people to have false memories when they were panicked.

If they could get rid of this sea god and resume their normal fishing activities, the villagers would probably have a better impression of them, right? Then, their work would go much more smoothly.

The news that Jiro was going to take outsiders out to sea quickly spread throughout this not-so-big village. The villagers, who had little work to do, gathered at the dock to watch Jiro, Xiaoya and the others. The old village chief was naturally also present.

It seems that what Jiro said is true. At least the villagers know about the existence of the sea god.

The old village chief didn't have a good look on his face. He just glared at Jiro. Jiro was not to be outdone. He glared back at the old village chief. In the end, the confrontation between father and son ended with the old village chief saying "shameful".

The old village chief snorted and stopped looking at Jiro. Jiro walked up to the dock with an angry look on his face. This scene was naturally seen by Xiaoya and the other three, but now was not the time to ask about Jiro's family affairs. Xiaoya was just keeping an eye on it.

"Jiro! You escaped from the Lord of the Sea last time, and now you're bringing a few outsiders with you to die?"

"That's right! Not only did we lose all our catch last time, we almost couldn't even get the boat back. If we lose the boat this time, it won't be as simple as just getting kicked out of the house!"

There were endless sounds of laughter and teasing. Most of the villagers were just watching for fun, but Jiro ignored them. He just jumped onto the boat and called Xiaoya and the others to come up.

The boat was not big, but it was big enough for four people. The cabin was large enough to accommodate them. Jiro was rowing at the stern, steering the boat slowly away from the dock.

Originally, it would have taken two people to drive the boat, but Jiro couldn't find any villagers willing to go out on an adventure with him, and Xiaoya and the others didn't know how to operate this kind of boat, so Jiro had to do it alone.

After getting away from the dock, Jiro felt the wind direction and then spread out the sail. He put away the oars, and then he only needed to concentrate on controlling the sail.

"Mr. Jiro, did something happen between you and your father?"

The teacher asked, they didn't see Jiro when they were at the old village chief's house last night, and they heard from the villagers that Jiro had been kicked out of the house, which was really worrying.

"Tsk, what do those gossiping idiots know? How could my father kick me out just because I lost my catch? It's just..." Jiro calmed down. They were already at sea, and the villagers couldn't hear what Jiro said now. "Can I trust you?

"No, you are outsiders, so you should be more trustworthy."

At this time, Jiro seemed like a different person, and there was no superstitious look in his eyes anymore. The teacher, Xiaoya and Fangling looked at each other, as if a hidden plot had been triggered for them.

Born from the Fires of War: Chapter 24: Caesar of the Trench is Still Chasing Me

"There's no such thing as a Sea God. It's just a bunch of self-satisfied idiots who have never seen anything and are just making up nonsense. The so-called Sea God is actually just a submarine."

Jiro steered the sail and spoke nonchalantly.

"Submarine? Mr. Jiro, you're not seeing things, are you?"

It's no wonder Xiaoya is so suspicious. Jiro, who has lived in a fishing village for a long time, doesn't seem to know anything about something like a "submarine". But when the other party said this word, Xiaoya had to consider whether the submarine Jiro mentioned was the same as the submarine they understood.

"Of course you're not mistaken. Don't look at me like this. I actually really yearn to go outside, and I've learned a lot about the outside world."

So Xiaoya calmed down and listened to Jiro's story. No matter what, it would not be too late to make a judgment after Jiro finished speaking.

"That was indeed a submarine, with a black pressure-resistant hull. It used torpedoes to blow the reef to pieces. As for why it was said that dumping all the catch would make the submarine leave..." Jiro paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't know about that. Anyway, I don't know when it started to spread in the village. I tried it a few times during that time, and it really worked.

“Although my relationship with my father was strained before, it was never as bad as it is now, until the last time I went out to sea.

"I had been preparing for over a week. I had planned my route and thought I had calculated the times when submarines would appear, but I still encountered a submarine that day. What's worse, there was no fish on my boat.

"My boat was overturned by the waves when the submarine surfaced. That was when I touched the hull of the submarine for the first time. Fortunately, I did not panic at the time. I waited until the submarine dived again and found the boat, and then returned home safely."

After saying this briefly, Jiro fell silent. He had always wanted to live outside, but the mountain road was closed by the old village chief a few months ago, so he could only plan to go by sea. If he had not encountered the submarine before, he might have reached the territory of the fourth campus by now.

Of course, even if it ran away, it would be disappointed. The Fourth Campus has not yet resumed employment. Jiro has no skills and is not even a student. He can only be a homeless person in the Fourth Campus.

Xiaoya didn't say these words out loud. She was completely bewildered. What about the submarine and the sea god? It was as illogical as a dream. What on earth was going on? Why didn't the old village chief allow anyone to move out? Why would dumping the catch into the sea make the submarine leave?

Not only was VII弍I〓 II〒Ling Siqi@vSan SiI a small bud, Fang Ling was just as confused as the teacher. Is this still Kiwotos? What did it do to them?

"We're here. This is almost the place."

Jiro estimated the time and then folded the sail. The fishing boat floated on the sea, and Jiro did not dare to relax. He stood by the sail and would spread the sail and leave if there was any problem.

The sea is relatively calm now, with only some small waves. If we cast our nets at this time, we should be able to catch quite a lot, but there is no sign of other ships on the sea right now.

“Ah, that’s…”

Xiaoya had sharp eyes. Through the sea surface, she quickly saw a dark shadow in the water in the distance. Following the direction of her finger, everyone on the boat could barely see it.

Jiro immediately spread the sails and headed towards the shore. It didn't dare to get closer again. It was really lucky to be able to go back last time.

The speed of the fishing boat was obviously not as fast as that of the submarine. Xiaoya could see the submarine getting closer and closer to them, and during this time Xiaoya could also see the details on it clearly.

In an instant, Xiaoya frowned. At the current distance, the octopus logo on the submarine was clearly visible. It was Caesar Group. The Caesar Group's submarine appeared here.

"What's wrong, Xiaoya?" The teacher asked when he saw the girl frowning. He and Fangling's eyesight was not that strong, and they could only barely see that the black shadow was indeed a submarine. As for the details on it, they didn't see any of them.

Xiaoya clenched her gun. She was not sure whether the Caesar submarine had seen them. She did not know much about ocean vessels, but it was always better to be prepared. Seeing Xiaoya becoming alert, Fangling also drew her pistol.

Fortunately, the submarine did not discover the fishing boats. They were too small, so small that they showed up on the submarine's sonar radar indistinguishable from a small school of fish. Naturally, the crew on the submarine did not pay attention to them.

Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief as the black shadows passed beneath them with no sign of surfacing. She then answered the teacher's question, "They're Caesar Group submarines. The so-called Sea Gods the villagers saw are these submarines. But why does Caesar Group send submarines here so frequently?"

Xiaoya couldn't understand. Was the Caesar Group preparing to intervene in Gehenna's situation? Or was it simply carrying out its mission?

These are unknown, but the military forces of the Caesar Group have invaded Gehenna's territorial waters, and Xiaoya has no way to do anything about them. This is what makes Xiaoya most uncomfortable.

Whether it is the Pandemonium or other forces, there are no armed ships at sea in the whole of Gehenna. In other words, in fact, the whole of Kivotos does not care much about the development of naval armaments. Only the Odyssey Marine Academy pays attention to these because the entire academy is composed of large and small ships.

"Mr. Jiro, has your father ever come into contact with any robots before?"

Xiaoya asked Jiro, who was driving the boat, seriously. The latter thought about it and was a little uncertain. After all, in Jiro's impression, the old village chief had never seen any robots. Of course, it was hard to say whether he had seen one when Jiro was not around.

"At least my father never saw any robots when I was at home."

Jiro replied, and Xiaomei nodded, but she remembered another thing.

"Now we know the Sea God is a Caesar Group submarine. So what is the Mountain God? Could it be some heavy equipment from the Caesar Group stationed in the mountains?"

When Dalang drove Xiaoya and the others away last night, he mentioned the existence of the mountain god. Thinking of the sea god, Xiaoya couldn't help but guess that if it was really the Caesar Group that sent troops to station in the mountains, that would be too bad.

This means that the Gehenna Soviet not only has to face the Pandemonium in the west, but also the invasion of the Caesar Group in the north. Having enemies on both sides will further disperse their already stretched military forces.

However, Jiro didn't seem frightened when he heard the term "mountain god". He just said casually, "What mountain god? There's no such thing in the village. Maybe my eldest brother is trying to scare you. I don't know why, but three months ago, my father and eldest brother started to strongly oppose communication with the outside world. They blocked all the roads leading to the outside world."

The boat had reached the shore, and there were still many villagers on the dock who had not dispersed. When Jiro saw these villagers, he stopped talking and put on a frightened look, and kept muttering "Poseidon bless us".

Born from the Flames of War: Chapter 25 There is no time to waste, the next to appear is the Red Army!

The hidden plot (doubtful) has come to an end, but there are still many doubts. The first and foremost one is why the Caesar Group appears here and what is their purpose in appearing here?

But Xiaoya no longer had time to explore these questions. With her phone running out of battery, Xiaoya received bad news: the Pandemonium had launched an attack.

After more than half a month of silence, the Gehenna Civil War officially broke out, and the current situation on the field is not too good for the Gehenna Soviet. Even facing the threat of the Holy Trinity, Makoto did not transfer the Pandemonium Guards to defend. Perhaps Makoto thought it would not be too late to eliminate the Gehenna Soviet and then fight a decisive battle with the Holy Trinity.

In short, under the attack of the elite troops of the Pandemonium Guards, the several temporary defense lines built by the Fourth Campus were quickly broken through. Now Iori and Eri are organizing the reserve troops and the scattered troops to block the attack. However, the Hot Spring Development Department effectively delayed the attack of the Pandemonium Guards by laying mines and traps.

However, the third campus itself is located in a volcanic area, which is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Overall, although they suffered losses on the front line, the three campuses combined can still withstand the Pandemonium guards, but they don't have to consider counterattacks for the time being.

In this situation, the Spartacus Regiment needed Xiaoya to go back and take charge of the situation. Under such circumstances, Xiaoya decided to quickly resolve the problem of this fishing village.

She wants to dispatch the Gehena Red Army to directly enter the fishing village. Now is a critical moment. Xiaoya cannot find out what is going on in the fishing village bit by bit. She needs to take control of this place immediately and be alert to the possible intervention of the Caesar Group.

The Caesar Group's submarines would not appear in Gehenna's territorial waters for no reason. The worst case scenario that Xiaoya considered was that the Caesar Group would land in this fishing village and then use this fishing village as a base to invade Gehenna.

When they were still in Abydos, the Caesar Group had the idea of ​​taking control of Abydos and establishing an academy affiliated with the Caesar Group. Now, taking advantage of the civil war in Gehenna, those brainless robots may not necessarily make plans to control Gehenna.

"Anyway, Comrade Meichuan, the Red Army will be arriving soon. Please, with their cooperation, be in charge of the work in the fishing village," Xiaoya said. She then carefully looked around, seeing no one, before continuing, "Remember to keep an eye on the old village chief and his family. They're the focus of your attention."

After all, there are too many suspicious points. It is hard to say what the old village chief is thinking when he doesn't let the villagers go outside. Xiaoya is afraid that he is colluding with the Caesar Group. As for Jiro... Xiaoya is not sure whether he can be trusted.

But I don’t care about your little tricks or little thoughts. I can just call the Red Army over to take military control of this place and that’s it. Special treatment is given in special times. Can the old village chief still drive the Red Army out?

"Yes, I understand, Comrade Chairman!"

Fangling saluted Xiaoya with a not very standard salute, and Xiaoya waved goodbye to her. They had now crossed the mountain again, and they didn't need to clear the way on the way back. They just needed to follow the previous road, which only took them half a day.

Xiaoya not only dispatched the Red Army, but also contacted the engineering team. They needed to quickly build a road to the fishing village so that they could transport artillery and other heavy equipment. As for the mountain god? To hell with it, if there really was a mountain god, they would just give it a shot and see if it still had any power.

The teacher was still driving on the way back, and he also understood the urgency of the matter, so the return trip was not as leisurely as the way there. They did not stop at the villages and towns along the way, and drove straight to the port of the fifth campus.

......

The transport ship flying the Red Winter flag docked at the port under the instructions of the port commander. This was the third batch of aid brought by the Red Winter comrades. Considering the imminent tense situation of the Gehenna Soviet and its relatively weak military production capacity, this batch of aid was a complete set of Red Winter-produced 76mm artillery production lines and supporting ammunition production lines.

The only weapons that the Fifth Campus can produce are various light weapons and mortars. The rest of the artillery and tanks and armored vehicles are used less and less. They all rely on the inventory left by the Pandemonium and the gift from the transport captain Makoto. Now the independent artillery units of the Gehenna Red Army are like treasures, and they will be dispatched to the fishing village to guard against the Caesar Group.

On the front line, there were only the mortars of the Discipline Committee. The lack of heavy weapons made it very difficult for Iori and Eri to fight. But now, as long as the artillery production line provided by Comrade Hongdong was put into production as soon as possible, the tragic situation of having to passively take the beating during the artillery battles on the front line could be ended.

As for the artillery? That's easy to solve. Just pick any student, even a bad girl, and with a little training, they can become qualified artillerymen. It's just that their accuracy can't compare to the artillery squad of Trinity that has been trained all year round.

"I am back."

Xiaoya pushed open the office door with great vigor, and inside were busy cadres and Hinata who was processing documents.

Seeing Xiaoya coming back, Hina looked up and showed a tired smile, which made Xiaoya hurriedly take over her work. After all, Hina was a patient now, and she couldn't be tortured like this.

"Hina-senpai, you stay with the teacher. I'll take care of this."

Xiaomei said this, and then without explanation, she pushed Hinata to the teacher. The teacher said hesitantly, "Don't you need my help here?"

Xiaoya looked at the documents regarding the location of the military factory and the placement of the artillery production line, then took out a map, drew a few circles, and said, "No need. Teacher, please take Hinai-senpai for a walk and check out the situation at the grassroots level for us."

The documents here had all been collectively discussed beforehand, so we just needed to categorize and execute them. The teacher being here seemed like a waste of talent. Why not have him take Hina out for a walk? While improving Hina's mood, perhaps seeing the teacher would boost morale and help the construction workers complete their tasks ahead of schedule? This was also considered making the best use of resources, even though teachers weren't just objects.

The entire Gehenna Council and the local organizations of the Spartacus Group were mobilized. They had been preparing for the current situation a month ago, and all the response plans had been discussed in advance. Now all they had to do was turn into ruthless working machines to execute the details.

The local branch of the Spartacus League has begun mobilization, and the students in the factory have begun to be replaced by citizens - students are valuable combat forces, and positions that can be replaced by citizens should be replaced by citizens as much as possible, so that more students can be freed up to be incorporated into combat units.

However, if there is any difference between the war mobilization of the Gehenna Soviet and the martial law status of the Pandemonium, it is probably the different working hours. The Gehenna Soviet adopts a three-shift eight-hour mode, while the Pandemonium adopts a two-shift twelve-hour mode.

Compared to Pandemonium forcing workers to produce at gunpoint, the Gehenna Soviet simply kept the machines running at night. However, in the short term, it is still unclear which of the two models is better.

Born from the Flames of War: Chapter 26: Dragging a Fishing Village into the Modern Era

"Rumble"

This was the sound of large-scale construction machinery. The Gehena Soviet acted quickly. Under the organization and discussion of the administrative officer Xiaoya, the Gehena Council immediately formulated a construction plan. After notifying the engineering team to draw up a blueprint, the plan was submitted to the Soviet Congress for approval.

But within one day, the engineering team was already carrying out development work together with an independent artillery battalion of the Gehena Red Army. At the same time, the advance troops of the artillery battalion had followed Fang Ling into the fishing village to take over local control.

The artillery battalion has more than 300 people and is currently the largest organization in the Red Army. Although it is called an artillery battalion, they are not actually equipped with Gehenna's mainstream 105 caliber howitzers. The entire battalion has only 12 75mm caliber field guns in total, and there is no corresponding ammunition production line. The artillery shells they are using are still brought by Makoto when she assisted the Wanmo Palace Guards of the Fifth Campus.

Therefore, after the artillery production line provided by the Red Winter comrades goes into operation, the Red Army's artillery units will be equipped with Red Winter-made 76mm field guns. Although the caliber is inferior to the mainstream 105mm howitzers of the Gehenna, it is not inferior in range and is also lighter. The key point is that they can produce these guns themselves.

Of course, once the artillery can be produced domestically, it will be supplied to the front line first. The Red Army artillery battalion stationed in the fishing village will have to wait for some time.

However, even when supplying the front line, Eri and her team did not let the Discipline Committee form an artillery unit, but directly formed artillery companies from the Red Army and then sent them to the front line. After all, both sides now share a command system, so there will be no delay in commands.

This does not mean discrimination against the Discipline Committee. This is related to the future functional conception of the Gehenna Soviet. If all goes well, Xiaoya and the others intend to let the Discipline Committee only retain functions such as maintaining public order, while the standing army functions will be performed by the Red Army. As a public security agency, the Discipline Committee's current weapons are sufficient. To deal with ordinary problem students, the support firepower composed of mortars is very powerful. The Justice Realization Department of the Holy Trinity next door does not even have mortar support.

As for the problem students who can't be dealt with even by mortars? Well, these are no longer just ordinary problem students; they must be dealt with forcefully!

Hina had no objection to such an arrangement. This was what the Disciplinary Committee should be like. Moreover, looking at the Gehena Council and Gehena Soviet organized by Xiaoya and the others, they were at least less troublesome than the Pandemonium. Hina could also relax and concentrate on handling public security affairs.

Iori had no objections. She was the captain of the mobile team, and the mobile team didn't need large-caliber artillery or anything like that. As for the function of a standing army, Iori didn't care about that. As mentioned in the preface, she was just a mobile team captain.

Without the objection of the Discipline Committee, the resolution was quickly implemented. In fact, the Red Army was already implementing the expansion, and the Red Army lowered its requirements again. Xiaoya and other executive committee members required that as an independent combat artillery organization, an artillery company only needed the company-level political commissar to be a member of the Spartacus Regiment, and no political commissars would be set up below.

Of course, this was an emergency measure necessary to deal with the civil war. After the civil war, political commissars would still be assigned to work teams.

The construction noise was very loud. The engineering team was now building a temporary route based on the original path to allow the Red Army artillery battalion to move in, and then they would dig a tunnel as planned. Although this was a pure loss in terms of economic benefits, it was necessary in terms of strategy.

Without road connectivity, the Gehenna Soviet can only send some light infantry to the fishing village. If the Caesar Group really launches an attack... Xiaoya doesn't believe that Caesar has no surface ships such as destroyers except submarines.

Once Caesar takes over the fishing village and builds a helicopter airport here, it will threaten the entire Gehena. Therefore, from a strategic point of view, for the safety of the entire Gehena, Xiaoya and the others must build this route to the fishing village.

The Red Army advance troops led by Fang Ling were naturally resisted by the villagers led by the old village chief. Jiro was also stunned to see the Red Army scoundrels wearing armbands blocking the entire street. He really didn't know what the outside world looked like. After all, the last time he went to the outside world was a few months ago.

However, Fang Ling and the Red Army's idiots did not do anything extreme to the villagers. The most intense thing was that a few villagers, instigated by the old village chief, wanted to come up and grab the gun of a idiot, and then the other idiots (Lu Yueyi) fired warning shots after seeing it.

Hearing the gunshots, the villagers were frightened and dared not continue to attack the Red Army. No matter how the old village chief encouraged them, they did not dare to move forward - just kidding, there were cases in the past where villagers who went out were injured by the guards of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons. No matter how ignorant these villagers were, they knew that bullets could really make holes in their bodies.

Fang Ling did not do anything to these villagers, she simply dispersed them. As for the old village chief, considering that arresting the old village chief would likely deepen the villagers' rejection of the Red Army, Fang Ling just told a few thugs to keep a close eye on the old village chief and did not arrest him directly. Instead, Jiro came up to Fang Ling to apologize, hoping that the Red Army would not shoot the old village chief.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiro. We in the Spartacus Corps and the Red Army will not execute anyone. The most serious punishment is just labor reform." Fang Ling smiled helplessly. Unlike her teacher in the outside world, due to the mysterious protection and the fact that the population of Kivotos is much smaller than the outside world, neither the Spartacus Corps nor the Hammer and Sickle Society has ever executed a death penalty. Even those who were members of the overthrown former regime, such as Cerino, were subjected to labor reform.

"Yes, is that so?"

Jiro was skeptical. After all, the fishing village had a tradition of throwing villagers who caused serious damage into the open sea to drown them. There was no death penalty outside, which made Jiro a little unbelievable.

"Of course, I promise you."

After much persuasion, Fang Ling finally persuaded Jiro to go back. She also had a lot of things to do. As the commissioner stationed in the fishing village, Fang Ling's goal was not simply to impose military control on the fishing village. She also needed to gain the trust of the villagers and make them support the Gehenna Soviet.

With the support of the Red Army, Fang Ling was finally able to visit each household without being driven out of her home by the villagers. Although the villagers still looked at Fang Ling with fear, Fang Ling felt that this was a good start and that they could already have contact. As long as time passed, the villagers would sooner or later understand the ideas of the Red Army and the Spartacus Regiment.
