Chapter 568 - What is the decision?

He studied the maps, reviewed the strategies, and calculated every move. He knew that the moment of facing the leader of the CRM was approaching and was aware of the fear her presence could instill.

However, he also knew that the situation required extreme measures. He decided to adopt a threatening stance, presenting himself as a representative of a new government that tirelessly fought for the future of humanity. He would lie about his true intentions, manipulating the situation to gain the trust of the leader of the Commonwealth.

Airon questioned whether this hasty decision was the right one. Speculations about the leader's reactions and her possible mistrust unsettled him. What would happen if they discovered the truth? What if his lie generated more conflicts instead of a strategic alliance? Doubts consumed his mind, but he also felt the pressure of the responsibility resting on his shoulders.

As he went over the possible scenarios again and again, Airon clung to the hope that this tactic was necessary to achieve his objectives. He feared the consequences of his actions, but he was convinced that it was a risk he had to take to secure a safe future for humanity.

The uncertainty and morality of his decisions led him to reflect on the price he was willing to pay for survival. He knew that lies and manipulations could have a high cost, both for himself and for those he led.

Airon prepared for the encounter with the leader of the Commonwealth, aware that his role as a strategist and leader of the S.C.T. would be put to the test. Despite being filled with doubts, he maintained the determination to do whatever was necessary to protect his people and ensure a secure future.

As he advanced towards the invasion of the Commonwealth, Airon knew he was facing a moral crossroads. Only time would tell if his decisions were the right ones or if he would have to face the consequences of his actions.

"I'm running out of time..." Airon furrowed his brow, knowing that with his current forces, resisting the CRM attacks wasn't a problem, but the Commonwealth shouldn't be underestimated either.

Knock, knock!

"Come in!" Airon said as he touched his forehead.

As the door opened, a soldier entered and gave a military salute before saying, "Sir, the high command is meeting."

"I'll be there in a moment..." Airon muttered as he looked at the map of the Commonwealth.

...

Meeting room.

A soldier stood before everyone and began the briefing, "Alright, gentlemen, today we're going to discuss the Commonwealth in Ohio. Our monitoring team and infiltrated agents have gathered valuable information about this organization."

An elderly gentleman asked, "What do we know about them? Are they a threat to us?"

"According to our reports, the Commonwealth self-identifies as a prosperous and organized community. They have an estimated population of 50,000 and a well-armed army.

Reginald asked, "Who leads them? Can we trust them?"

"Their leader is Pamela Milton. She rules with an iron fist, and they have established a class system and hierarchy within their community. They also possess advanced technology and abundant supplies."

"It seems like they have a lot to offer. Should we consider an alliance with them?"

"We don't know enough about them. They might have ulterior motives."

"I understand, but we have to take into account the situation with the Red Army. They are on the brink of extinction, and we need all the help we can get to face the CRM." Sam explained this point.

"How reliable are the reports? We can't risk being betrayed."

Airon looked up from the documents and told the soldier, "My girlfriend is undercover, she was one of our first contacts with the Commonwealth."

The soldier seemed nervous but after hearing Airon's words, he said, "Although that's not relevant, we have to consider that we have infiltrated soldiers."

"Exactly, Commander! We have verified the authenticity of the information to the best of our ability. But yes, there's always a risk that things may not be as they seem, even with the infiltrators."

Airon then explained to them, "If we invade their territory, we could eliminate them completely and ensure they don't pose a threat in the future."

A tough-looking soldier asked, "Are we talking about a direct invasion?"

"Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. We could send our forces to take control and eliminate any resistance." Airon nodded in agreement.

"But we must be careful. We don't want to start an unnecessary war with the CRM on our doorstep."

"Can we trust our leadership to make an informed decision? Have they assessed all the risks?"

Airon hesitated, but he couldn't expose his doubt to the others, so he said, "I trust that our leadership has considered all variables. But it is our responsibility to raise our concerns and doubts."

"Still, we cannot ignore the threat posed by the Red Army. If we can eliminate them once and for all, it would be a great victory for us."

"I agree. We must take action and ensure our survival."

"So, are we in agreement to invade the Commonwealth?" Sam asked this one last time.

"It seems to be the most viable option to defeat the CRM. But we must make sure we have a solid plan and minimize the risks."

The presenter nodded, "Understood. I will present this proposal to high command, and we will evaluate all available options. Our ultimate goal is to eradicate the threat of the Red Army and secure a safe future for all of us."

The room fell silent as the soldiers considered the implications of invading the Commonwealth. They knew it was a difficult decision full of uncertainty, but they were willing to face any challenge to protect their survival and eliminate their enemies.

After concluding the presentation, the other soldiers began to debate the appropriateness of taking action. They argued that the Red Army, their common enemy, was on the brink of extinction, and the opportunity to join forces with the Commonwealth could be beneficial for both groups.

However, concerns and doubts also arose. Some questioned the true nature of the Commonwealth and whether it would be wise to trust them. Rumors of a strict power structure and excessive control by the leader were mentioned.

Opinions were divided, but the majority agreed that the situation with the Red Army demanded immediate action. It was evident that the Commonwealth possessed resources and military might that could be of great help in defeating the common enemy, the CRM.

Finally, it was decided that establishing contact with the Commonwealth and exploring the possibility of a non-threatening invasion was necessary.

Uncertainty and caution filled the air as the soldiers discussed the course of action. The Commonwealth presented itself as a promising option, but questions also arose about their true intentions and how this alliance could affect both communities.

With the threat of the CRM looming, decision-making became crucial. The soldiers were prepared to face any challenge to ensure survival and eradicate the danger posed by the common enemy.
