The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 57

The reporters were a little disappointed, because Wikar did not meet them at all. Especially the local reporters who have not appeared for a long time. They took great pains to get to this place. Only a few of them are lucky.

"Commander? The reporters were still faithfully waiting outside. The commander should meet them, even if only for a moment. Not all of them can make it safely to this place" Jason said.

"I know Jason. But you already know the reason" replied Wikar.

"Wear this mask to cover your face. People won't recognize your face Wikar. Put on that mask, and meet them as brothers" Jason said, handing over a mask to Wikar.

"Good mask Jason. And your way is brilliant to tease me."

"Well." Jason replied briefly with a voice of his laughter.

Wikar immediately put on the mask, and walked out of his room to meet the reporters who had been waiting for him for days. They immediately stood up and went to Wikar when they saw Wikar coming out of his room. They flocked to Wikar, with questions.

"Silence everyone! Listen to me!" the word Wikar is to appease those who are already scrambling for answers from Wikar.

"I'm sorry for making you wait. And I'm sorry I had to wear this mask. Honestly, I can't show my face to anyone. But I came to see you to make a statement. That all of us in this place, are fighting to reclaim the sovereignty of this country that has been forcibly snatched away! We won't stop until anytime! Every second, we are faced with death! We will not take a step back from this nation! We will keep fighting! Until the government declares defeat! We will rebuild happiness that has long been broken! We will still be in this place! Until anytime!" wikar said in front of the media.

Not wanting to linger, Wikar immediately returned to his room. The reporters immediately spread the news to their respective countries. They want everyone to see the seriousness of Wikar in fighting for his country.

"Under Wikar's command, the people are ready to sacrifice their lives. They will continue to put up a fight, until the government declares their defeat" one television reporter said.

The news spread throughout the country. The response of everyone who saw the news was different. Some support and agree with Wikar's decision. Some people think it is stupidity. Because the country is constantly at war with its own people.

Especially when people hear President Jacob's name. They seem to want to spit on him. Because according to them, President Jacob is just useless trash.

"Look... That guy deserves to be pissed. Resolving internal conflict alone cannot. Instead he made the situation more complicated" said one office worker who was watching television at a cafe with his friends.

"Yes.you're right. He even threatened our country. Who does he think he is." answered one of his friends with a laugh.

Hearing that **Wikar** has issued its statement, **President Jacob** feels very threatened. He ordered*General Hidi** to start attacking. At that time **General***Hidi**was confused, not knowing what steps he should take. On the other hand, **General Hidi** strongly supports the struggle*Wikar**. But if he returns to his primary purpose, **General Hidi** cannot refuse that order.

In a dilemma situation, **General Hidi** contacted his friends from different countries, to ask for their opinion. In circumstances that do not support, **General Hidi** must choose two things that are very difficult. First thing first, he had to risk getting out of the military, and forget about his ultimate goal. As for the second option, **General Hidi** must be willing to sacrifice his troops to fight.

Without further thought, **General Hidi**directly send a letter to*Wikar**. The content of the letter is about the invitation*General Hidi** to meet with **Wikar**. According to **General Hidi**, however, they discuss the matter to find the best solution. Since **Wikar** has learned that **General Hidi** is his ally, then **Wikar** also agrees to have a meeting.

The meeting was finally held in secret. Located in a former factory building. **Wikar** came with ten of his guards, while **General Hidi** went with **General Rechan**, on the grounds of planning an attack strategy. He didn't want anyone to be suspicious. Because now**General Hidi** can not trust anyone, except*Wikar** and also*General Rechan**.

"*I was faced with two difficult choices. If I have to get out of the military, then it's all of us. We can no longer monitor the movements of government soldiers, who are now preparing to kill you. And at any time we will not know where the existence of the secret forces belonging to President Jacob*." said **General Hidi** to **Wikar**.

"*I will choose to pretend to be against you*." replied*General Hidi**.

"*That means, you're going to sacrifice soldiers*?"

"*No Wikar. The soldiers are paid. They do all this because of money. After all many of them are corrupt, and few can be trusted*." replied General Hidi.

"*That was your decision, brother. I can't give you any orders. And I can't forbid you to do it. But I hope, when the meeting starts, you're not there*." said*Wikar**.

"*It looks like the battle will be really fierce. Don't lose. I will give you any information. I'll call back. Beware Wikar, you are the best friend I have*."

"*So does you*."

They all rushed to leave the place, heading for their respective headquarters. Given the current situation is very precarious. They can't get out of their territory for too long. All spies*President Jacob**have been deployed all over the place.

"*Commander? Is the commander sure that the two people can be trusted*?" ask one of your friends **Wikar**.

"*I can feel it. They can we trust to be informants. But given the situation as it is now, I'm not sure they can last long. President Jacob spread his spies all over the city. It would be very dangerous for General Hidi and his friend. We need to be more careful now. Even though we are currently at the top, do not let us underestimate the power of our enemies. President Jacob has a secret army. From now on, keep a close eye on everyone who enters our group*." says*Wikar** to them.

"*Ready Commander. Loah has prepared something new for us. He said he wanted to prepare a special card for our troops, Commander*."

"*That's great. In a moment, the construction of our headquarters will be completed. Tightening care*."

"*Siap*!"
