Rebels have a long history in the Federation, dating back to the beginning of the Federation's war of aggression against the Empire.

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before food and grass are moved, and you can imagine how much manpower, material and financial resources need to be consumed in such a large-scale battle.

In fact, with the situation of the Federation itself at that time, it was not very suitable to start this war.

However, firstly, the hatred between the two sides has accumulated day by day and has reached the verge of breaking out, secondly, the empire was weakening at that time, so that the top of the federation saw the hope of shame, and third, the ambition of the top level of the federation itself was troubled, and the third aspect contributed to the outbreak of war.

However, drought in the interior of the federation at the time reduced food production, and during the war, the federal government increased taxes, leading to famine in more and more areas.

It's just that all the high-level officials of the Federation at that time were so focused on revenge on the empire that they neglected to control and aid the domestic disaster, or rather, they noticed, but those people chose the latter compared to the grand cause.

In the beginning, the rebels consisted of a few people who did not have enough to eat. At that time, there was no title of rebel, and everyone simply gathered together to protest against the inaction of the local government and the expropriation during the famine.

But as the incident intensified, the protesters gradually grew from those who were directly persecuted to those who were righteous with a passion for justice.

The growing opposition within the Federation coincided with the retreat of the armies at the front under the Empire's counterattack, which made the anti-war forces grow stronger.

After the defeat of the Federation, in order to get rid of the crime, the top of the government finally launched more than a dozen scapegoats after a fierce game, and took on all the infamy.

But the winners of the game also know that the beginning and end of the matter cannot evolve to the point of being out of control just because of a dozen people, in the final analysis, whether it is the start of the war or the defeat of the war, the culprit should be all the officials of the Federation who supported the resolution, so the sentence of those dozen people is only exile, and capital punishment is not used.

Among these people, some are disheartened and have been incognito since then, but some are unwilling to be scapegoats.

They made contact with organizations that rebelled against the tyranny of the government, and using their experience as officials, they gradually integrated these organizations, and named the newly formed group the Rebels, with the aim of overthrowing what they saw as a rotten federal government and establishing a new regime.

However, due to the previous status of the leaders as government officials, not all of the rebels were willing to submit unconditionally to their leadership, and a considerable number of people who did not have much ambition still had expectations for the federal government, only that the government would be more concerned about the daily lives of civilians.

Although there were differences of opinion between them, after all, the members of the rebels had been fighting side by side for a long time, and the reluctance to give up this fighting friendship made the rebels not fall apart, but divided into two factions within the organization.

One faction advocates the direct overthrow of the existing federal government, led by the former government officials who were pushed out as scapegoats, and the other faction advocates simply awakening the conscience of the upper echelons of government, led by righteous people from all walks of life who initially joined the rebellion.

At first, the two factions only stayed at the stage of verbal warfare, but when the main battle faction secretly formed an army and began to blatantly launch the so-called war of resistance, the moderates, after a fierce ideological struggle, finally decided to break away from the rebels and form their own faction.

The outcome of the war of resistance speaks for itself, and when the federal government came to its senses and began to confront the instability in the country, this rabble of ordinary people was quickly annihilated, and only a few escaped and were finally re-accepted by the moderates, which is the precursor to the current rebel group.

The War of Resistance was short-lived, and the Federal Government was reborn after the Iron Prime Minister regrouped, but the rebel groups did not dissipate on their own as a result of the change of government.

With the addition of the main battle faction that survived the first place, the seeds of instability were planted in the new rebel group.

At a time when people's lives were gradually improving and many members of the rebel groups who simply wanted to live in peace and contentment left the association, the remnants of the main militant faction took over the rebel organizations again. And because of one loss, these people realized that there was no point in recklessly waging a war of resistance, so they changed their tactics and began to infiltrate the grassroots of the Union step by step.

Although the new federal government has strengthened the management of people's livelihood, it is impossible to cover everything after all, and there are still many people in the federation who do not have enough to eat, and the rebels have taken root in such a hotbed and have survived to this day.

After more than 100 years of development, the organizational structure of the rebels has become more and more mature, and at the same time, it has its own unique logo. But whenever a member of the rebels does, they will leave a symbol of the scales of freedom and equality on the spot as a sign of sovereignty.

When Howard led Leach back to the scene of the crime, the room they had set upon, he unexpectedly found a black balance pattern in the corner of the room.

"Looks like we've been able to determine who stole it. Staring at the pattern in the corner, Howard said confidently.

"Just by this scale?" Leach questioned, "Isn't it too arbitrary?"

Hearing this, Howard explained, "You're just here, so you probably don't know much about what we're doing here. Let's put it this way, all of us here who like to be traitors have been co-opted by the rebels, and the rest are honest ordinary people, so the possibility of stealing your things is not 100%, not much worse. ”

"I didn't mean that. Knowing that he didn't make it clear, Leach hurriedly added, "I know that you have an evil organization here, and I think it's very likely that our things were stolen by that group, but is this organization really a rebel?"

Howard said: "Isn't it, this is what they said themselves, and we didn't force it to them!"

Leach suddenly cried and laughed: "They say that they are, but what I have heard, the rebels will never embarrass the common people, but will only oppose those who are rich and unkind, and the style of the so-called rebels here is completely different!"

"Hey, is that so?" Howard was apparently the first time he had heard such a statement, and his original notions suddenly wavered.
