Captured Alive

"Currently, the Gefra people are less likely to leave the city. We must use our advantages to further sever the connections between cities, turning each city into an isolated island in the war!"

Inside the cave, a young man codenamed Seagull was discussing the upcoming battle plan with his subordinates, as well as several cadres from his Anti-Government Armed Forces group.

Their purpose in gathering here was to hear some valuable information from Haiyan and then spread it.

The Seagulls were among the first Anti-Government Armed Forces groups to raise their own name—according to the Gefra, who, among the locals in the Amelia Region, referred to these Gefra as "Freedom Pioneers" or "Resistance Fighters" in praise of their actions against Gefra tyranny.

Actually, what's the point of talking about tyranny? If someone were to recall and think about it carefully, before these movements became widespread, ordinary people in the Amelia Region were not harmed at all. Their lives were no different from those of their ancestors. In fact, because the Gefra wanted to win people's hearts, the lives of ordinary people actually improved a bit.

Of course, it cannot be denied that some social rules and systems have changed. For example, the Gefra people demanded to stop using their previous currency and switch to the fula.

For example, they demanded that schools stop using their old textbooks and switch to textbooks prepared for them by the Gefra people...

There are many such cases, and for ordinary people, there is nothing unacceptable about them. No matter what kind of education or ideology the ordinary class receives, their social status, role, and value will not change much, and their lives will not change as a result.

Those whose lives have truly deteriorated are actually the Privileged Class and Ruling Class of the past. These are the real victims; their power has been taken away and their wealth plundered. They are unwilling to accept this change in disparity, and they are the first to rebel.

Driven by their ambitions, the first Resistance Organization emerged. Shouting "Oppose the tyranny of the Gefra," they assassinated Gefra and attacked their Patrol Team, thus completely igniting the conflict between the locals and the Gefra and escalating everything.

Now, thanks to the malicious propaganda of some people, what was originally just a conflict between the Privileged Class of the past and the Ruling Class of today has become a conflict between the people and the rulers.

As a series of local policy errors occurred, all the hatred was eventually intensified and aroused.

However, no one can guarantee that every decision will be correct. The governor of Li Ya was not a saint. Some of his decisions were good, while others might have some problems.

As the conflict between the two sides intensified, these minor issues were confused and escalated into major problems.

Among the many organizations, Haiyan's organization has a clearer concept of 《Resistance》 than other organizations. They have tenacious ideas and effective tactics. For example, the tactics that are being promoted now were first proposed by Haiyan herself.

By dismantling the Gefra invaders' forces outside the city and confining the Gefra within its boundaries, the Gefra resistance was gradually eroded through infiltration into the city.

Initially, people did not accept the Stormy Petrel's war theories. At that time, people were still hiding in the cities, and their goal was to drive the Gefra out of the cities. As a result, each attack brought devastating consequences of bloodshed.

A large number of innocent people were killed as a result, and even now, the cracks in the bricks of many roads are still dark red, the color of blood that has seeped in, and even rainwater cannot wash it off.

Haiyan proposed leaving the city and expanding the strategic detour space, pulling the main front of the confrontation from the tightly controlled urban area of Gefra to the vast and boundless wilderness, which enabled these Resistance Organization to achieve unprecedented and enormous results.

Now Haiyan has proposed the "Isolated Island Strategy," and people are beginning to accept and learn Haiyan's theories. People from other organizations are here to learn from her.

"We need to sever all connections between cities, creating a deep-seated fear within them that they don't know what's happening in other cities and are worried about being attacked."

"This will drastically shrink the Gefra's range of activity. They will likely shrink to a very small area and be unwilling to appear in front of people casually, after all, they need to consider issues such as assassins."

"I don't need to reclaim the entire territory all at once. Let's take a small city first, use it as a base for development, and then expand our influence outwards until we can eventually form a unified whole."

"When that time comes, the Gefra will be at a disadvantage, while we will be in a dominant position..."

Haiyan's theory wasn't very complicated; everyone could understand it and develop their own ideas. Some people couldn't help but think to themselves, "This man truly deserves the title 'Haiyan'—he's really outstanding!"

The atmosphere inside the cave was excellent. The Resistance Organization was currently unstoppable, achieving victory after victory, and everyone radiated confidence that "we will definitely win."

This is also related to the low quality of the Gefra Army. They never expected that Gefra's navy was so strong, but its army was so weak, even worse than civilians who had only received basic military training!

From initial fear to current composure, the Gefra people have built confidence in these Resistance Organization with tens of thousands of corpses. If their opponents are only this much, they are confident they can drive out all the invaders and reclaim their homeland! Meanwhile, some people have already walked a distance, crossed a hill, and infiltrated the vicinity.

They secretly eliminated many sentries along the way. It has to be said that these people are really adorable. The instructors told them how to set up sentries, where to set them up, and how far apart each sentry should be, and they have strictly followed the instructions to this day.

This allowed the Major's men to quickly ascertain the locations of all the hidden sentries along the way and easily approach the core area of Resistance Organization.

"Remember, capture them alive if you can, otherwise just shoot them..."

After issuing the final combat orders, the Major took a deep breath and gave the order for the final operation. The team members quickly dispersed, took up advantageous positions, and the next step was to eliminate the Resistance Organization here.

However, what they didn't expect was that not only were there people from this place today, but also some members of other Resistance Organization who came to learn. These people would not abide by the rules here. When two of them came out to smoke, they were surprised to find that the place where there should have been a sentry was now empty and there was no one in sight.

"They even said they have strict rules here..." one of them said, taking out a cigarette and handing it to the other, with a mocking and sarcastic expression on his face.

People say that the Amelia Independence Front has strict rules and an atmosphere different from other Resistance Organization. It's as if the Independent Front is a professional Resistance Organization, and the others are just small fry, which is unpleasant.

They're all people who live on the edge, so why should they be ranked? At this moment, seeing that the sentry who was supposed to be on duty had disappeared, two other members of the organization who came to "visit" were a little gloating.

The two men exchanged a glance and quickly understood their thoughts; they intended to embarrass the Independent Front.

As for how to do it, it's very simple. They just need to make a good-natured joke, such as someone sneaking into the vicinity and a sentry going missing.

This will definitely put the whole organization on edge. When everyone finds out that it was actually the sentries who were slacking off, then we'll see how arrogant they become!

The two men threw their cigarettes, which they had barely lit and hadn't even taken a few puffs of, onto the ground and quickly returned to the cave. Soon after, an alarm sounded inside the cave.

The Major, who was preparing for battle, was stunned. This didn't seem to be part of their plan; something must have gone wrong.

Considering that the caves where the Independent Front was hiding were not isolated but interconnected, in order to prevent these people from scattering and escaping, their battle plan was to light poisonous smoke at other cave entrances, forcing these people to rush out from a relatively open cave entrance.

They were surrounded by them, and they could easily annihilate these people, but now the situation has changed.

After a brief hesitation, the Major decided to launch an attack directly, while keeping the plans unchanged elsewhere.

In an instant, gunfire shattered the tranquility of the night sky, and the intense exchange of fire and the continuous falling bodies added a tragic touch to the early summer night.

The gunfire continued for a long time before it stopped. After the poisonous smoke slowly drifted out of the cave entrance, ensuring that no one was still alive in the cave, the Major and his men emerged from the shadows. Not all of them came out; some remained on guard.

After another sporadic burst of gunfire, the entire area fell silent.

Most people died, but some survived, and Haiyan was one of them.

He was the leader of the Independent Front, and more importantly, a symbol of its spirit. People protected him in the center. He was wounded, but not fatally.

Who are you?

As Haiyan, who was tied up, looked at these armed men who were different from the previous Gefra Army, her mouth felt dry, which was due to blood loss.

He didn't believe these people were Gefra. If the Gefra really had such elites, there would have been no Resistance Organization here long ago.

The Major didn't answer him. Instead, he raised his weapon and smashed it hard on the man's head with the butt.

With a bang, Haiyan's vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

At that very moment, the governor, who had just drunk a little wine and was lying in bed preparing to fall asleep, was startled awake by the shrill ringing of the telephone.
