"Chairman Lonagan, the statistics of our recruitment this time have come out." Standing in front of Casey Lonagan, Tara and Hansen, the deputy of the armed forces of the Chisha Foundry, held a small notebook, with a not relaxed expression.

"How many?" Although it had been a week since the battle with the 1st Brigade, Cassie Lonagan felt that he was still on the battlefield that day. Flying bullets, waving long swords and scimitars, and feather arrows falling from the sky filled all his vision. In the later stages of the battle, whether he, Tara, or Yaro Lynch of the textile factory, had already gone to the battlefield with all the available weapons. When tactics were worse than those of the enemy, training was worse than those of the enemy, and weapons were worse than those of the enemy, the only thing they had to rely on was the belief in communism and worship for them.

The courage to sacrifice his life. Such a battle was something that Cassie Lonagan had never experienced before, and it was also something his comrades had never experienced. Blood and screams bloomed in front of these workers who rarely saw blood, like blood flowers. The enemy's brown uniforms, black guns, and the hot water vapor spewing from the muzzle turned into mist, covering the cruelty of the battlefield. I don't know how long it took, nor when it was, but at a certain point in time, Cassie Lonagan suddenly realized that in this battlefield, except for himself and his comrades, there were only corpses left.

"Less than a thousand people," Taraji's voice was low. "Those who were willing to revolution before joined the revolution, but now those who were recruited have already brought in all those who can be recruited and those who were interested. If you recruit again, you can only force recruitment."

“Forced recruitment?”

Cassie Lonagan subconsciously repeated a sentence, feeling a little resistant. The Communist revolutionary should be a revolutionary who believes in communism, not a strong man caught from the street. How can such a person become a member of the revolutionary team? If his revolutionary team joins such a person, how can he be called a real revolutionary team?

"Yes, if we don't force recruitment, we will not be able to defend Rewadren's." Yaro Lynch from Rewadren's Textile Factory rarely stood with Taraji. "The last battle was so painful. Nearly 3,000 people died in our team of more than 5,000 people, and the death rate was more than half! And before the enemy left, their barracks were in the east of the city! We were eyeing! If we don't recruit soldiers in time and don't recruit soldiers quickly, the next time they come, we will not have enough soldiers to get on!"

Three thousand people died?

Cassie Lonagan did not reply immediately. His consciousness was once again pulled to the battlefield at that time by the conversation between the two. Death, screams, blood and corpses, those who he had known, those who he had not known, all died on that land. And that land was not even stranger to him.

"Chairman Lonagan!" Taragi's voice became louder, "Now time is a matter of time, and more and more people in the city are starting to flee. If we do not take any measures, people will run away and the forced recruitment will not be found!"

"Those who ran away are not revolutionaries, are they?" Cassie Lonagan asked, "When they ran away, don't we save the energy to guard against them?"

"But relying solely on the revolutionaries, we cannot defend Rivadren!" Yaro Lynch's voice became louder, "Chairman Cassie Lonagan, what we are facing now is not the problem of eating bread or meat, what we are facing now is the problem of life or death! The enemy fights this battle with us and will definitely ask for reinforcements, and we will face more and more enemies! And our own soldiers are less than 3,000 people now! How can we fight them! The citizens of Rivadren are still fleeing, and you don't let them care! They are almost running away! When they run away, what will we do to fight the enemy head-on!"

Cassie Lonagan didn't say anything. He walked to the window and looked at Rivadron in the sun, feeling a little confused. He used to think that revolutionary struggle was the most correct way. But at that time he did not realize that the so-called revolution was so cruel and bloody. Compared to the Kaber Luya who had already died on the gallows, Cassie Lonagan felt that he was not much lucky because he chose the right way.

"Where are those workers? Communism serves workers. There are more than 30,000 workers in Rewadren, and only such a few people stand up?"

Perhaps because he didn't want to go to the point where he forced the recruitment, Cassie Lonagan was still struggling.

"They are all a bunch of cowards!" Speaking of other workers, Taraji was like pyroxene ignited, and his body was full of anger. "These people were always there when they received things and gave money. When they talked about recruitment and war, they were all gone! They were still communism! It would be useless to give these people communism!"

"Yes, Lonagan!" Yaro Ross stepped forward and stood with Cassie Lonagan, looking at Rivadren outside the window. Although this small town is not big, it was once a crowd of people. However, since the uprising, the city's population has been continuously lost and its management has become chaotic. The entire urban area has lost its vitality and is gradually dying.

"The current choice is related to our life and death. If you want to win and if you want communism to win, we must restrict the citizens from leaving Rivadren and force recruitment. Only in this way can we have enough troops to fight against the enemy, defeat the enemy, and spread communism!"

"Is that the only thing?"

Cassie Lonagan picked up the "Fluorite" on the table and started reading it. Over the long time in the past, this newspaper gave him the direction and confidence of the revolution. But now, when he urgently needed the answer, he could not find guidance from this newspaper.

what do I do?

"Cassi!" Taraji was really anxious, "The enemy may come at any time, we must make a decision!"

"Then let's get it..."

Cassie Lonagan lowered his head. If he wanted to survive, many things had to be abandoned. He once understood this truth very well and was willing to be an exploited and exploited worker. Later, he learned about communism, learned to exploit and be exploited, and learned to surplus value. At that time, he believed that communist society was his goal. But just after a war of uprising, he became suspicious of this goal.

Is the victory obtained by relying on forced conscription really the victory of the revolutionaries?

Tara and Hansen and Yaro Lynch did not care about Cassie Lonagan's entanglement and mood. After obtaining Cassie Lonagan's permission, they immediately left the conference room. The recruitment work is fought every second, and they must immediately convey their spirit and start forcing the recruitment. It has been a week since the last battle, and the enemy may come to fight at any time. If the team is not expanded, not only will the revolution fail, but they are likely to die!

———————

Cassie Lonagan knew what his two comrades were doing, but he was powerless and unable to stop them. Even himself could not find a way to replenish troops and fight against the enemy besides forced recruitment. He sighed softly and remembered another thing.

The rapist in the team was still in the process of identifying it, maybe he should go and take a look.

If you can return the bullied people to justice, if you can do this, your career should not be too bad, right?

Cassie Lonagan, who was in a low mood and bored mood, came to the location of the law enforcement team according to his own ideas, the original Rivadron Square. Victims from all over the city have been staying here for more than ten days, identifying soldiers from the revolutionary team one by one, trying to find the rapists.

"Chairman Lonagan, are you here?"

Cassie Lonagan's arrival alarmed the captain of the law enforcement team, Ethan Machet, a worker from Chisha Foundry. He shook his strong body and met Cassie Lonagan and gently hammered his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll take a look, how is it?"

"You came in just the right time, and you basically found it."

Ethan Marchet said, pulling Cassie Lonagan into the camp of the law enforcement team. The camps were all built with tents and there was no obvious pattern. The tents were placed at random, dividing the huge square into winding paths. At this time when Cassie Lonagan arrived, most of the tents were empty.

"Many brothers are dead, and the tents have not been collected yet." When Ethan Machet saw Cassie Lonagan looking at the tents, he quickly explained, "Some are still going home. This battle is a bit miserable. Everyone wants to meet their families."

"Then are enough people to maintain order?"

"It's okay, and there are many brothers who insist. Didn't you give the order? This case must be investigated to the end. We are all busy with this matter. It's a coincidence that you have found the prisoner."

Ethan Marchet introduced Gastens to the center of the square. There were many soldiers gathered here, some of whom were injured. They stood in a row and walked past more than a dozen veiled women standing on the other side of the center, allowing them to confirm their faces and confirm whether they had participated in previous rapes. The soldiers' expressions were very tired, with helplessness and a hint of nervousness. And those women did not seem to be relaxed.

Cassie Lonagan turned his eyes to the right side of the center of the square, where he saw three or four tied soldiers. Ethan Marchet looked at him and quickly introduced.

"These are prisoners. They are recognized and we will tie them up and wait for you to leave."

Cassie Lonagan walked up to the soldiers tied to the ground, looked at them, paused for a while before asking.

"Did you do it?"

The soldiers were silent. After a while, a thin and small man answered.

"So what's wrong? I'll beat you to death because of a few women, are you going to kill me?"

Cassie Lonagan doesn't like this person, he doesn't like the way this person speaks, nor does he like what he says. Perhaps he finally found the vent. When Cassie Lonagan opened his mouth, his voice was extremely angry.

"Like you, they are all the wives and daughters of ordinary people! We launched the revolution to liberate the working people, not to oppress the working people! What is the difference between you doing this and bandits and bandits!"

Cassie Lonagan's voice attracted the attention of many people in the center of the square. The slowly moving team of soldiers stopped, and the women who were identifying the soldiers also stopped. Everyone turned their eyes to Cassie Lonagan and the tied soldiers.

"It's useless to just talk about fucking principles!" The thin soldier's voice was extremely loud, "In that war last week, most of my brothers died! No deserter, no one was afraid! I don't even want my life for the revolution. Now you have to ask us for the matter of a few women? Let me tell you the truth, more than twenty people with me were left, but now only six or seven people died. They are like me, and they have fun with those idiots on the battlefield. They are dead and alive. We are all fucking heroes! They have all fucked for the revolution and have shed blood! Are you going to mess with me now? For a few women? Turn around and ask those women, can they fight? Can they win? If you can't win, where will you get the revolution?!"

Hearing the thin soldier's words, Cassie Lonagan calmed down for some reason. He sighed softly and answered him with a calm anger.

"Soldiers, we are revolutionaries, communist troops. We revolt to overthrow the bourgeois government that oppressed the workers, not for pleasure or women. I am very excited and moved to fight hard. But aren't everyone in our team so desperate? Everyone is fighting hard, why do you have to rape other people's wives and daughters? Are you joining this revolutionary team? Is it personal desire or communist cause? Ah? If it is to take advantage of the chaos and be a blessing, if it is for your own enjoyment, then even if you die, you are not worthy of being a revolutionary!"

The thin man smiled, he raised his head and pointed his chin at Casey Lonagan.

"Speak so much nonsense, you have the will to kill me? There are so many soldiers now. You officials and masters are pointing at us to help you work hard and revolutionize you! If you kill me, who will kill you, who will revolutionize you?"

"You are wrong," Cassie Lonagan's voice was even lower. "I am very grateful for everything you have given for the revolution, but you were wrong from the beginning. Most of the people present, everyone who participated in the revolution was not me or anyone else, but for themselves and their own beliefs. It was not "help me revolution", but for themselves and for everyone who is the same as themselves! It was not to fulfill their own selfish desires, but to make all workers live a good life! If you can't see through this, even if you join the revolutionary ranks, you are just a bandit!"

"After saying that's not for yourself!"

The man was still quibbling, but his tone became much weaker without realizing it. Cassie Lonagan didn't want to bother with such people anymore. He asked Ethan Machet to call the execution officer of the law enforcement team, and finally confirmed the identity and crimes of these people, and brought them to the center of the venue. During this process, these people cursed and roared, but could not change Cassie Lonagan's decision. When they stood in the center of the square and saw the eyes of the soldiers and people around them, they suddenly realized that death was approaching. They collapsed and began to cry and beg for mercy, but still did not affect Cassie Lonagan's decision.

"You guys, damn it!"

He simply said a few words and issued an order to shoot. After several gunshots, his own soldiers fell down, who were still begging for mercy and insults. The other soldiers and victims looked at the bodies, and there was an inexplicable emotion flashing in their eyes. Cassie Lonagan didn't know what the emotion was, but he knew it a little.
