Let's put aside the British war and look a little earlier, back to SIDE3 on January 1st.

On this day, Lear did not pay as much attention as others did to the moon negotiations, which seemed to him to be a failure, nor did he simply ignore the celebration of New Year's Eve, but spent this precious time with his comrades.

Why does it sound a little wrong?

Forget it, if such a serious line will feel wrong, it must be the person who listens to it.

He was on board the fast cruiser Leipzig at the Bavarian spaceport, and because of the recent tensions, all officers and men were required to be on duty 24 hours a day, and thanks to this, the scheduled regular meetings of the Philosophy Self-Study Society had to be made up by video call.

Here, it is important to explain what a philosophical self-study is, what kind of organization it is, what kind of constitution it has, what ideals it has, and how its members will choose to realize it.

The Philosophical Society was founded in U.C0073, the year Lear Wolfgang Alckstein entered the Zeon Sergeant Military Academy, and as the name suggests, it was an organization founded to study Marxist-Leninist philosophy.

It recruited cadets from the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, but did not recruit openly, but expanded itself in the form of privately distributing books and targeted dissemination of ideas to develop comrades, and by the time Lear graduated, the organization had grown to more than two hundred men, all of whom had graduated from the Zeon Non-commissioned Officers Military Academy, and now with the beginning of the war, these junior officers had spread throughout the Zeon Wehrmacht.

At the beginning, the Philosophical Self-Study Society was just an organization similar to a study and mutual aid group, but with the passage of time, and the new comrades who joined one after another, although the number was not too large, it already had the prototype of a formal organization, it had a complete command structure, its own goals and beliefs, it was armed with different theories from Zeon and the Federation, and it had a relatively mature division of labor within the organization, precisely because it actually had the potential for self-development, so even after Lear graduated, The Philosophical Society has not ceased its activities.

However, because the Philosophical Society itself is in the heart of Zeon, and almost all of its members are junior Zeon officers, its development speed has reached a bottleneck.

From the very beginning, the organizational structure of the Philosophical Society was designed by Lear with reference to the structure of a certain party organization, and it was divided into two levels, the first level was the 'writing group' headed by Lear, which was essentially equivalent to the party Central Committee in the party organization, and its main functions were to establish the direction of organizational development, guide the work of the subordinate groups, enforce discipline, and most importantly, write revolutionary literature.

After all, there are some things in the original version of Marxism-Leninism that are no longer suitable for the cosmic century, and certain corrections must be made in light of the actual situation of the cosmic century.

There are also theories that have not appeared on this world line, which need to be sorted out by Lear himself.

The last task is currently largely done by Lear alone, which is why the group is called the Writing Group.

The secondary structure is the each' The study group is essentially equivalent to the party branch in the party organization, but because the current philosophy and strength of the philosophical self-study society are not strong, Lear emphasized secrecy at the beginning, and demanded that no other activities be carried out at this stage except for the members of the development group, and the secretaries of each study group are also members of the writing group, and only they know the true face of the other study group members, who are mainly responsible for the day-to-day operation of the organization, the development of comrades, and the transmission of revolutionary documents and instructions of the writing group.

To put it more simply, it is the relationship between the brain and the hands and feet.

There was only one chance left for the organization to transform from its present situation, which was more akin to a secret society, into a genuine revolutionary party.

Lear knew this and already had a plan, and a future war would be the best time for them to organize an expansion.

At present, there are 20 members of the study group, of which 10 are the secretaries of the 10 study groups, and the remaining 10 are Lear, the leader and secretary, as well as the disciplinary committee in charge of confidentiality work, the organizing committee in charge of organizational work, and so on.

While these positions may sound subtle to someone from a country on another world line, they feel like jobs that no one in the class wants to do, in this chaotic age, they have become real risk-taking positions.

At least if the members of the study group were exposed, the Ministry of the Interior would never let it go out of the law, even Lear himself.

You can't do this without the awareness that you might die at any time.

In this regard, Lear is actually a little weak, of course, he has the consciousness of dedicating himself to his ideals, and he can understand how cruel and ruthless the sacrifice recorded in those books is, but the thinking mode formed in the era of peace makes him always have a bit of a fluke mentality, he is willing to sacrifice, but he has not yet understood that this sacrifice refers not only to his personal life, but also to his family, friends, lovers and even everything around him.

In this regard, he is even inferior to those who take his words as the Bible, because at the end of the day.

Lil Wolfgang Alxstein, in his past and present lives, has never really suffered hardship.

He lives in an environment that is too privileged to lack a strong sense of crisis.

This makes him sometimes too naïve, and sometimes he insists on principles that he shouldn't.

That's what it feels like to be in a seal-like state.

If he doesn't wake up, this seal will never be lifted.

If it weren't for his great ability, the fact that he was the founder of the Philosophical Society, and who also assumed the position of spiritual teacher, such a person would not have been able to become the leader of a revolutionary organization.

The first meeting of the Philosophical Self-Study Society in 0079 began.

"Are we just doing nothing now?"

The meeting began, and before a word had been spoken, someone began to open fire.

As mentioned earlier, Lear's instructions to the Philosophical Retreat were to develop with peace of mind and to avoid exposing themselves to their own dangers.

This directive was carried out to the letter, partly because of Lear's personal prestige, and partly because the members of the Philosophical Self-Study Society were particularly obedient soldiers.

But after all, they were still enthusiastic young people, and especially when they saw that the ideals to which they were willing to dedicate themselves could not be stretched, and although they faithfully carried out Lear's decisions, they still felt a sense of dissatisfaction and powerlessness in their hearts, which is a common phenomenon in any revolutionary organization.

It is precisely because they have embraced the ideas of communism that they feel that they cannot ignore the impending war, and although they have not yet figured out what they can do, they are desperate to get instructions from Lear at the moment.

Lear had already been mentally prepared for the anxiety of these people, but before he could speak, the disciplinary committee member in charge of enforcing discipline coldly reprimanded: "Apply for permission before speaking, who allows you to speak without permission!" ”

“。。。。。。。” The speaker was suddenly speechless, the process of speaking seems very unnecessary, and it is also very procrastinating, but people with a little experience in organization know that this is something that must be stipulated to death, otherwise a meeting can easily turn into a quarrel, the so-called speaking process is a necessary means to suppress dissenting opinions in disguise, so that they can patiently listen to the opinions of others.

"Organizing committee, I am applying to speak." Lear didn't rely on his position to open his mouth, but applied honestly, he is such a guy, a little rigid but it is because he can always lead by example that he can gain the trust of everyone.

"Ah, yes, please speak, Comrade Secretary." The organizing committee member paused for a moment, and then immediately said.

"Comrades," Lear said slowly, and as he spoke, the people of the Philosophical Society suddenly became solemn, "I am not going to say any extra polite words, so let's get straight to the point." ”

"I know everybody has some ideas about whether we can do anything about this situation."

"Some people think that although the Zabi family is an evil dictatorship, in terms of results, they can indeed fight the earth-based doctrine of the Federation, and think that we must break through the current form of federation dominance to realize our ideals, so they think that we should actively participate in this war and do our part for Zeon to fight the Federation."

"There are also people who think that instead of letting Zeon win, the Zabi family is abusing all the people with its dictatorship, it is better to maintain the status quo, at least the Federation still has a certain bottom line, so they think that we should help the Federation to bring down Zeon in turn."

"There is no consensus among the people, and I think the reason for this difference is that we do not have a unified program of action within ourselves, as an organization."

"We are united by the same ideals, but we all have different ideas, and if we can't twist together and work hard towards the same goal, then in the end we are just a plate of loose sand."

"I would like to apologize to everyone for this, and make it clear that our goal should have been my job, but I have been negligent in the past, and I have not begun to make up for it until it has had adverse consequences, which is completely my personal gaffe, and I ask for your understanding."

After saying that, Lear bowed his head deeply and apologized.

Then he moved on to the topic: "So I think we should discuss a goal that is in line with our ideals, and clarify some issues that are roughly the same, but there are definitely differences in the details. ”

"What is our ideal?"

"How are we going to achieve our ideals?"

"I'll start with my opinion."

"What is our ideal?"

"It's the realization of communism."

"How are we going to achieve communism?"

"Is it an internal transformation from the existing regime?"

"Or is it an armed revolution?"

"What are our goals for the next phase?"

"Before we get to these issues, there's a big premise that we have to be clear."

Lear said solemnly, "That is, who are our friends?" Who are our enemies? ”

"Who are we targeting? Who are the people we can unite with? ”

"If we don't take care of this issue, our revolution will always be on paper."

As Lear peeled back the problem in detail, everyone's expressions became more and more serious.

Because they understood that this organization had finally moved from merely propagating communist ideas to carrying out the revolution.
