Chapter 208: Crow King Corax: We workers have strength, and we are busy with guerrilla warfare every day! (VII)
[In the sixth week, under the command of Corax, the armed workers team successfully completed the cleaning and preparation work of the entire mining planet.]
[A large number of enemy armed vehicles and weapons and equipment have become your spoils of war. ]
[Also, the foundry business headed by Comrade Aroni, codenamed 'Castle', achieved a phased victory.]
[He successfully used a laser weapon STC standard construction template seized from a large base.]
[Thus, the bulky firearms in the hands of most armed workers were immediately replaced with simple and durable laser firearms.]
[However, Comrade Arundi, codenamed "Soldier", has brought you an extremely heavy news.]
[Many rebel groups on the planet's surface suffered heavy casualties, and they bore almost all of the enemy's anger for failing to attack the mining planet.]
[If the mining planet, which serves as a base, does not provide any support to the uprising team on the planet, then destruction will be their only outcome.]
[You and everyone else fell into silence, and Corax narrowed his eyes slightly without saying anything.]
[A few minutes later, Corax slowly stood up and spoke to everyone with a serious expression.]
[Although the armed workers in the base area have won several battles, the enemy's greed for fear of destroying mineral production and many geographical factors have played a big role. If they rashly enter the surface of the planet to fight, the number of casualties in the revolutionary team will probably be far beyond everyone's imagination. ]
[Although the Neff brothers and several representatives of the armed workers' team repeatedly emphasized that they were not afraid of sacrifice for the success of the revolution, as long as Corax gave the order, they would be fearless.]
[However, Corax, who was more cautious and far-sighted in his vision and thinking, explicitly rejected everyone's request to fight. ]
[He told everyone bluntly that according to the mineral production data of previous years, if the mineral supply from the mining planet stopped, the large-scale production tasks of the Science and Technology Union would come to a complete standstill.]
If tech unions are willing to bleed money and funnel benefits back to hard-working people, they can hold out for years or more.
[However, the greedy tech unions will not share their profits with the general public, and may even go further to deduct money from the other party to make up for their own losses.]
[In other words, time is actually on the side of the base.]
[As long as everyone carries out the preparations step by step, the enemies on the planet will soon fight over the issue of interest distribution, and may even trigger another uprising that sweeps the entire planet.]
[However, this kind of plan based on half a year or even a year is not fair to the uprising team that is about to be destroyed or the ordinary people who have suffered. ]
[At this moment, both you and the people who were listening fell into silence again. ]
[Your reason tells you that revolution requires bloodshed and sacrifice, both the lives of the people present and the lives of the armed workers.]
[As time passed, the meeting came to an end and everyone left with heavy hearts. ]
[You and Corax went to the People's Canteen where the big pot meals were made.]
[You suddenly discover that the amount of food each armed worker can receive has been reduced by more than one third.]
[Korax, holding only half a bowl of noodles in his hand, tells you calmly.]
[Although the revolutionary team has seized a large amount of food supplies belonging to the enemy, the amount of food that can be produced on the mining planet is very small, and most of it is experimentally planted in abandoned mines. ]
[Therefore, for the healthy development of the base area and the revolutionary plan to liberate the planet, the armed workers voluntarily reduced their daily food supply and prepared in advance for the difficult days to come.]
[You stare at the half bowl of noodles in your palm and can't help but sigh.]
[In the seventh week, all plans were going smoothly as Corax expected.]
[The technology union on the planet didn't even last half a month. Because of the issue of profit distribution, a fierce civil war broke out between several major forces and spread to countless cities.]
[As a result, their pursuit and interception of the rebel team was greatly reduced.]
[However, judging from the news sent back by Allendi, the actual situation of the uprising team is still not optimistic. ]
[Originally, they numbered over 10,000, but after experiencing life-or-death escapes and the baptism of endless wars, and even betrayal by their own personnel, only a disabled team of about 1,500 people remains.]
[After you obtained some intelligence, you immediately found Corax who was thinking about the next revolutionary plan.]
[However, before you could ask. ]
[With a solemn expression, Corax opened his deep eyes and told you an important decision. ]
[He planned to release atomic mining bombs in advance to destroy several important industrial cities, forcing the science and technology unions that were caught in civil strife to surrender completely and end the revolution.]
[Otherwise, not only will the civil war cause more casualties, but the famine caused by simply stopping industrial production will also cause horrific chaos that will spread to the entire planet.]
[Although this is a major boon to the development of the revolutionary team and will attract more ordinary people to follow, if they only care about gains and losses, then what is the difference between them and the domineering science and technology unions? ]
[You nodded slightly, agreeing with Corax's idea.]
[At the same time, you lowered your head and thought for a while. After considering the many difficult conditions at present, you made a suggestion to the other party.]
[You want to go to the planet alone to see if you can use the remaining forces of the uprising team to stir up a bigger revolutionary storm. This is also an attempt to use a different method.]
[If your revolutionary plan fails, then Corax's action of dropping atomic mining bombs can be carried out justifiably.]
[Moreover, the only casualties in the end were you and the rebels, and the core strength of the base was not damaged at all.]
[With his brows slightly furrowed, Corax stared at you intently. He was silent for a long time, but finally agreed to your request.]
[You immediately turn around and leave, looking for Comrade Aloni, the casting supervisor codenamed "Castle".]
[You regained a set of heavy metal armor carefully forged by armed workers from the other party. ]
[You have obtained two brand new laser guns, a re-polished double-edged axe, and a large number of fragmentation grenades. ]
[You have obtained seven intact personal protective equipment from Comrade Nia, codenamed 'Queen'.]
[Just when you have made all the preparations and are about to head to the gravity well. ]
[The elusive Corax suddenly appears in front of you. ]
[He slowly handed you a sharp sickle and a heavy hammer, telling you that this was the only token of trust from the rebels, and also a special gift for you.]
["Brother… no, it should be Comrade 'Foreman', I wish you all the best on this trip… As a revolutionary comrade, I hope your revolutionary plan will be a complete success. As a brother, I will wait for you to come back and eat noodles!"]
[Gaze at you, Corax slowly reveals a brilliant smile, as if the sun is shining.]
Thank you for your support!
