The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 38

Until now, people who had been close to Lahar had never been found. Except Wikar and his two friends, Ambar and Loah. Other than the three of them, everything disappeared like the earth was swallowed. Lahar seems to have planned all this carefully. In fact, all these events were never suspected by anyone.

The problem in this country is getting more complicated. Not yet finished the problem of the rebels, now increased with one person who made a scene in one world. All the media reported about the fugitive named Lahar, almost every day. And until now, all countries in the world have not found a bright spot on the problems that are being faced.

Even though they have worked very hard, they have not found a definite result. The presidents of each country finally held a large-scale meeting to discuss the issue. The meeting was organized by the Wikar government, and attended by leaders of allied countries.

They argue with each other. They were dissatisfied with President Jacob's decision on what he would do. President Jacob wants all countries to delete all data about Lahar, and block all media reporting on all of this. Because according to President Jacob, it was the most appropriate decision.

"If you think about it again, President Jacob's decision has a point" one leader told another.

"Just think about it, what can we do now? All the capabilities in each country have been issued, but they have not produced any results at all" he continued, returning to his seat.

All the leaders of the country were silent, and they only whispered to each other with their advisers. Then they all nodded, a sign that they approved President Jacob's plan. Although very forced.

Finally they agreed to carry out President Jacob's plan. And they went out of that place to their cars. The media crew who had been waiting for them for hours was very disappointed that the Presidents came out without saying a word.

This day will be a new history in the world. Because no leader dares to open their mouth to the decisions they have made themselves. All the leaders contemplated that worst day. I don't know what they dreamt of sleeping tonight, so they all had to make a very difficult decision.

"*Sir, the decision that has been agreed seems to trigger conflicts in various countries. People threatened their leaders, and most of those protesting were journalists. They all came together to unravel the decision on that day. They spread it to the community. Perhaps, in a few days we will also face the same problem*" said advisor*President**.

**President****Jacob** that hears of it being emotionally charged. He then slammed the cup in his grasp.

"*You're fired! And I no longer need you. I also don't need a Deputy to govern the government that I now have my hands on*!" answer **President****Jacob**.

The adviser came out of the room, followed by the Vice President. They're fed up with President Jacob's reckless attitude. President Jacob then contacted **General****Hidi**. **General****Hidi** is a very respected and feared*General. He and **President***Jacob** have been friends since they were young.

They always support each other. That is why not many people dare to oppose the decision **President***Jacob**. He never wanted to be governed by anyone. He has also changed all the laws of this country according to his will. Anyone who dared to refute would definitely be faced with a difficult situation.

"*My dear friend, I need your help right now also*." said*President****Jacob**on her phone.

"*What should I do*?" ask **General****Hidi**.

"*Deploy your troops to contain the wave of protesters now heading for the state palace. Don't let any of them break into this place*." command*President****Jacob** to **General*******Hidi**.

"*Anything you want my best friend*." replied **General*****Hidi**.

"*Conduct*!"

"*Siap*!"

All the soldiers were shocked to get the order. Including Wikar and his two friends who just arrived in their countries. Though Wikar, Ambar and Loah are still not allowed to go home because they had experienced pain for a few days before.

But because General Hidi insisted, they were eventually all repatriated. The three of them went home full of frustration. President Jacob was never fair to everyone. He always acted according to his own wishes. Even he did not pay any final respects to the soldiers who had died.

The people are really angry and disappointed with President Jacob's government. He likes to raise taxes and sell prices suddenly for no reason at all. Basically, all the people in the country are so kind and friendly. Before President Jacob took office, the crime rate in the country was very small.

Unlike now, everyone can get a gun legally. All President Jacob had in mind was money and money. He wanted full power over this country, as well as all of its natural wealth. The originally wealthy and wealthy country, has now turned into the most dilapidated country in the world.

"*What the old man will do next*." said*Wikar** while grumbling.

"*That's why we both prefer to be criminals rather than soldiers*" said**Loah** to**Wikar**.

**Wikar** started thinking about something in his mind. He really hopes that the protestors can succeed in removing **President***Jacob** from his position. If the voices of the demonstrators fail to overthrow the throne**President***Jacob**, surely chaos will ensue everywhere.

**Wikar**suddenly stop the speed of the car. He got out of the car and headed back to meet some of the troops he was carrying.

"*Listen friends, we're going to face a difficult situation. We are faced with both great choices that will determine our fate in the future. I'm sure some of you are worried about your family's fate right now. Civilians are no longer in control. And your family is among them. If we remain on President Jacob's side, then the fate of your family will be at stake*."*Wikar** told them.

They were all stunned to hear the words*Wikar** which seemed to want to betray their own government. But because of all the words**Wikar**, their minds became open. What Wikar says is true. If they are in favor of **President***Jacob**, then the fate of their family cannot be guaranteed. But if they chose to fight, then each of them could decide their own fate.

One of them stood up and said,

"*I may not be as good as you. But I'm not afraid if you're going to do something. I'll join in. I would rather die than be a slave in my own country. I became a soldier because I wanted to keep the country I love, not to submit to the ruler*."

"*I am*!"

"*I am*!"

"*I am*!"

"*I am*!"

They all stood up, and paid tribute to*Wikar**. **Wikar**just smile, he didn't expect that they would all support him. Though **Wikar**does not recognize them at all.

"*good. Do what we have to do! For the sake of Our Nation*!"

"*Ready Commander*!"
