In a small town on the northern frozen soil plain.
The house seemed abandoned, but faint firelight could be seen through the windows.
In the dusk, you can still see a few figures sneaking into the house under the cover of the trees.
"Winter is coming." Lu Rui, the leader of the Northern Resistance Front, ignored the sound of the door opening behind him and sighed alone, "This winter is more difficult than ever before... But as long as we get through it, there is hope."
The subordinates, who were accustomed to the leader talking to himself from time to time, didn't say anything. They put the box in their hands on the ground and said, "Boss, we got what you asked for."
Lu Rui, who was still feeling emotional, immediately stopped feeling emotional. He wiped the dust off his hands, rushed over in a few steps, opened the box, and rummaged through it.
He was so anxious that he even forgot to get the baked potatoes from the campfire, as if there was some important weapon hidden in the box that could change the status quo and save the rebel army.
"Found it, this is it!" Lu Rui suddenly took out a tattered book from the box and laughed, "The "On Capital" and "Proclamation of the New World" printed in the Governor's District...these But it’s an important controlled material.”
The subordinate had already sat by the bonfire, picked out a roasted and charred potato, peeled off the shell, and took a casual bite: "Yes, now that we are under complete blockade, these firewood are indeed considered controlled materials."
"How long has it been, and you still insist on reading these crappy books! We don't have enough weapons, food, or firewood right now, and we may not be able to survive this winter!"
"Some people used to sell weapons to us, but now? There is nothing left, alas."
Lu Rui chuckled: "How normal... Those idiots from Alliance Fruit have been exposed about assassinating the governor. They can't just throw us out as scapegoats?"
Some time ago, the Governor's District suddenly announced that they had traced the real murderer of the Governor's assassination case hidden inside Alliance Fruit, causing huge turmoil around the world.
One piece of evidence, one witness after another... almost made Alliance Fruit embarrassed in front of everyone.
After the last rebellion was forcefully suppressed by the Imperial Navy, all the forces reached a consensus - they could ignore the Governor, and they could listen to the announcement within the rules, but they could never directly kill the Governor himself.
If you really don't like which governor you like, you can boycott him collectively so that he cannot collect enough taxes and eventually be removed from office by the empire.
But if you use violence... you will start a rebellion within the empire.
Alliance Fruit definitely cannot admit such a thing, even if it is done by itself, it must insist that it is not the case.
Therefore, a huge blame was naturally thrown on the head of the "Northern Arrival Formation".
Those who secretly sold grain and weapons were naturally completely stopped. Not only were they stopped, many of their strongholds even suffered unprecedented military attacks, losing many strongholds and manpower.
In order to draw a clear line with the murderer of "assassinating the Governor", Alliance Fruit obviously worked very hard.
"It's a pity that we have already developed a team of tens of thousands of people." Seeing that Lu Rui didn't move, his men peeled another potato, "It's better now, we have lost at least half of our manpower."
Lu Rui replied casually while reading by the light of the fire: "They always thought that we were a small team with only a few hundred people... It's a miracle that we were able to hide it for so long."
"They don't even send a single person to the countryside. They only come here once to collect food. So they can't just hear the news from us?"
The man ate the baked potatoes in three or five naps and touched the pistol in his waistband: "Let me tell you, since we are all exposed anyway, we might as well just fight them directly. We won't get the result if we wait like this." It’s not like we can’t fight them with more than ten thousand people, so why do we keep retreating?”
"It is important to have a strong will, but we cannot ignore the decisive role of tactics and strategies." Lu Rui read the book carefully and said slowly, "We are not afraid of sacrifice, but we should not make unnecessary sacrifices. Our strength is still weak now, and the enemy's strength is You are still strong, so why use the weak to attack the strong?”
The man knew that he could not convince the leader, so he stepped forward and asked: "What are these two books written in? Are they good?"
"This is not a story novel." Lu Rui smiled, "These two books have answered many of my doubts and systematically organized many of the slogans we shouted before into theories. Almost every word makes me happy. I have benefited a lot, and I will find someone to print some later, and everyone, at least the senior leaders of the rebel army, will have to read it."
Lu Rui had been itching to see the remaining pages of these two books by chance last time, but this time he finally found the whole book.
"Bah, I want to see it too?"
"You have to read it." Lurie took a copy of "New World Proclamation" from the box and threw it to his men.
"Tsk...how many bullets have the two of us taken on the battlefield? We still need to see these..."
"Boom boom boom! Boom!"
While the two were chatting, a violent salvo of gunfire suddenly came from outside the window. One of the shells even landed not far away from them. The huge shock wave directly shattered all the glass!
At the same time, a sentry on guard stumbled over, opened the door and shouted: "The enemy's large force is attacking. You two, please evacuate further back!"
"What a bastard!" The man put the book in his arms and cursed loudly, "Why do these wild dogs have such sharp noses? How long did it take before they caught up with them again?"
After cursing, he stood up, picked up the rifle and walked out the door.
"Boss, you retreat first, I will lead the brothers to resist for a while."
Lurie suffered a gunshot wound in his early years and had some inconveniences in his legs and feet. He knew very well that with his current physical condition, he could not tolerate a second of pretentiousness.
This kind of behavior that touches oneself and impairs teammates has produced many bloody lessons.
Leave quickly so that the soldiers can perform without any scruples, and then they can retreat more calmly to save their lives.
"Remember, just delay, don't fight them head-on." Lu Rui warned again before leaving, "Believe me, the crisis in the Aluminum Association will definitely break out in the near future, and when the Alliance Fruit army loses a steady stream of We have advanced equipment and losing so many food and energy orders from the Aluminum Association, this is our opportunity for a major counterattack."
"Our early propaganda work was very successful. Now we just need to wait for them to reveal a flaw, and all opponents will rise up."
After saying that, Lurie left the house under the leadership of the security platoon.
More than a dozen people armed with simple weapons rushed over against the sound of gunfire, artillery, and even the engine sound of armored fighting vehicles.
