All in all, Lionheart Society 2.0 was thus established. Of course, following Autumn Mountain Yawata's suggestion, everyone decided to temporarily name it the “Friends of Youth Club.”

“You should still understand the principle of ‘accumulate grain slowly and claim kingship later.’ No matter what you are preparing to do, you must leave yourself some leeway,” Autumn Mountain Yawata said.

Rozes also agreed: “Yes, if it were in the academy, calling it Lionheart Society, or Knight Order, or Assassin, would not matter. But our current identity is that of active military officers, so we need to be even more cautious.”

Indeed, just think of the operations of Marshal Li in the Heavenly Kingdom back then. It was clearly an uprising organization that recruited comrades for the independence movement, yet it was called the “Blueblood Brotherhood.” At first glance, one might have thought it was a second-rate villainous organization obsessed with bloodline theory.

Yu Lian also thought the club was quite good. After all, whether it was “Friends of the Constitution” or “CC International,” they were all clubs before.

As for the organizational program, Yu Lian did not mention it, and fortunately, no one asked too many details.

After all, Li Instructor taught Yu Lian that specific problems require specific analysis, and it is crucial to distinguish between our enemies and our friends.

According to Yu Lian’s analysis, everyone in the 830 Party were indeed patriots, but they were also scions of powerful families. Their class attributes were truly clear at a glance.

In any historical period, there is no lack of individuals who betray their own class, but this often happens under special circumstances. The members of the 830 Party have already proven their courage and conscience in later history, but this is probably not enough for them to betray their position.

And under the current historical conditions, for them to truly become comrades, they must be shown the hope of saving the nation!

All in all, things need to be done step by step. One must never make the mistake of leftist adventurism!

“So, Brother Yawata, everyone here is a hot-blooded youth, which makes it even more necessary to have a… cautious and steady brain. Relying on Mikhail alone is not enough. So, stay,” Yu Lian said with a smile.

Autumn Mountain Yawata remained silent.

“I think there are still some minor issues with the Alliance’s market…”

“I think, commanding thousands of troops is indeed my childhood dream. As for going home to take over the family business, we can talk about that when I’m older!” Autumn Mountain Yawata pushed up his glasses and said loudly.

Rozes glanced sideways at him and said to Yu Lian: “…Besides us, who else are you planning to recruit for the first batch of members? The girls from the student council?”

“No, they… should still have their own happy lives. What we are going to do is not inviting guests to dinner! It’s not writing articles, and it’s certainly not painting or embroidering.” Yu Lian pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

“I will invite Aisen, Tamir, and Little Bai. Also, Zhengqing, can you invite Meng Jiao?”

Thus, the core leaders of the Volunteer Army (currently graduated) were considered “all within reach.”

Of course, the organizational structure and team discipline also need to develop bit by bit before they can be formally established, transforming from a loose club organization into a team with truly lofty ideals.

And such a team, indispensable to it, is iron-like discipline. As the organization grows larger in the future, the importance of this aspect will become increasingly apparent.

Fortunately, there is still time, and the work can be done meticulously.

Fortunately, the first batch of members are all outstanding individuals who have proven themselves in the future; they will understand these things.

“Since we are the first batch of members, we are naturally the first batch of cadres,” Rozes said. “Let Horatio be the vice-director. As for Director Comrade, you still need to formulate the organizational program as soon as possible. We can temporarily organize daily work, but where this ship is ultimately headed, you indeed need to steer it.”

Yu Lian took nearly half a minute to realize that the other person was speaking to him: “Am I the director?”

Rozes smiled and said: “Who else could it be but you? However, as you also said, this is an organization belonging to all members, a club where everyone is absolutely equal in personality. So, when the director’s term is over, there will have to be a new election.”

Yu Lian was a little surprised. Although he felt that he was indeed indispensable as director, he had expected some twists and turns and had not thought it would go so smoothly.

Are you really my sworn enemies?

Yu Lian couldn't help but look at Wien, only to see him sneer and nod: “Yes, so these five years are yours! The next term won’t be so easy! By then, everyone will rely on their own abilities and achievements.”

“Heh heh, if you really figure out those two topics I mentioned earlier within five years and propose feasible suggestions, then why can’t I step down and let the worthy take over?” Yu Lian thought for a moment, then added, “That way, I can go back to my hometown with Feifei and seriously run the restaurant and martial arts school!”

Wien was so utterly defeated by Yu Lian’s last sentence that he couldn’t even speak, even forgetting to greet Yu Lian as he got up to leave. After a long while, he suddenly realized that he was indeed starting to think about those two topics.

“Is this like giving us homework?” Rozes said with a wry smile.

“Yawata, you haven’t said much since earlier, have you thought of something else?” Kent asked.

Autumn Mountain Yawata pondered: “…I’m thinking, a political group with strong organization and discipline, when action is needed, requires a powerful voice that can make the final decision. Such a voice will appear naturally; it will not be shifted by human will.”

Everyone understood Yawata’s meaning. This so-called voice, either appears naturally, or it means that this team will ultimately fall into the ranks of the common populace.

“If our club truly becomes a legitimate political group, its leader might have even more power than the president! However, if such a group is only used in parliamentary struggles, it would truly be too much of a waste!”

Wien suddenly sneered: “So what?”

“Horatio…”

“Yawata, your biggest flaw is thinking too much! The situation you described might happen, or it might not, but none of that is what we need to consider now! I eagerly await the emergence of such a team. Let such a group, containing the strength of you and me, become the force that changes the world! Aren’t you like that too?”

Everyone in the 830 Party smiled, unable to disagree. Horatio Wien was a fanatic, someone who said one thing but meant another, occasionally got carried away and had a hot head, but it was with this kind of dignified charm that he managed to hold everyone together.

“Besides, since it’s a disciplined organization, once I become the boss, won’t I be able to arrange for that guy to do this and that? Heh heh heh, just thinking about that scene fills my life with motivation to move forward! Comrades, a bright future awaits us!”

This guy’s chuunibyou really was in its late stage, beyond saving. Everyone suddenly felt that letting Yu Lian be the president and Wien be the vice-president was the wisest decision made tonight.

The process was a bit like playing house, but if we follow a certain old-fashioned saying, the wheel of history here took a big turn. An organization that could change the course of human history and the entire cosmic pattern was founded here.

Of course, it was only a Prototype. After all, it wasn’t even a “Party” yet.

However, if this organization truly fails to achieve these things in the future, it would be too unworthy of this third life.

Then, there was the cordial meeting with the student council girls the next morning.

Yu Lian genuinely did not plan to pull them into this “Friends of Youth Club,” at least not yet.

Teacher Li’s teaching was truly good. Because of his memories from the future, Yu Lian knew too well what kind of people these yet-to-be-famous 830 Party members were. Therefore, he could develop them all as prospective comrades and incorporate them into the small team early on.

However, the girls were another matter entirely.

Firstly, besides Feifei, the girls from the student council were all born into prestigious families, undoubtedly from the ruling class.

Secondly… it’s not that Yu Lian looked down on girls, but the fact that the girls did not leave a great name in later generations still indicates some issues. Moreover, even just considering his memories from this life, Yu Lian knew that while the girls from the student council were excellent, they were truly only excellent in the ordinary sense. One could tell this just by looking at their graduation grades.

The best grades belonged to Zhi Xia and Liuli, who barely squeezed into the top twenty, while everyone else hovered outside the top hundred.

The only exception was Feifei. This girl was truly perfect, without a single flaw.

Should I, include her in the “club”?

I always felt a bit reluctant. What I'm doing is a head-chopping business!

Although when considering the course of history, we must also consider individual struggle. However, the choices the girls made after graduation indeed represented their attitudes towards life.

Except for Annie—Yu Lian felt that her ultimate goal was actually to play with spaceships—no one else stayed!

Of course, it’s still the same old saying, who are our enemies, who are our friends. At the same time, the main contradiction and secondary contradictions must also be clearly distinguished.

Everyone might not become comrades who die side by side in the same trench, but they can certainly become close collaborators.

So, the subsequent conversation with the girls could be conducted in a different way.

With this thought in mind, Yu Lian organized his words and arrived at the destination before ten o’clock.

He had anticipated the process, but he didn’t even guess the beginning.

Out of gentlemanly consideration, he arrived fifteen minutes early, but he never expected that the girls had all arrived already.

“It’s good to be early, we’ll have more time… Eh? Why are you dressed like this?” Yu Lian was bewildered.

None of the girls were wearing uniforms; instead, they were all dressed in very beautiful dresses, with exquisite makeup, looking perfectly ready to attend a ball.

Even the very assertive and bold Annie was no exception. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Yu Lian had seen her in a dress.

“What’s wrong with you?” Yu Lian couldn’t help but ask, looking at Annie, who exuded discomfort and awkwardness.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me either. It’s like I was possessed when I saw Lilia dressed like this,” Annie said grumpily. “I should be asking what’s wrong with you? What the hell is this?!”

She pointed at the girls Present. They all had their heads bowed, and an inauspicious aura was brewing around them, as if a low-pressure front would soon arrive.

“Old Yu! I swear by the universe spirit, I am utterly impressed right now. You play better than I do!” Miss Annie Romanova gave Yu Lian a thumbs-up in sincere admiration, then looked like she was waiting for a good show.

“Hmm, although I don’t know why everyone is reacting this way, since you’re here, let’s start the meeting,” Yu Lian said.

“Start your head! I X^&&((*!” Zhi Xia shouted, startling Yu Lian.

“Uh, let’s talk nicely, no cursing! Besides, you suddenly curse now… your character setting will collapse!”

“I will! I will! I’ve been pretending to be a lady in front of you for so many years, you don’t know how tired I am!”

“So, Yu Lian actually invited all of us?” Liuli tilted her head, looking at Yu Lian, still appearing like a graceful Yamato Nadeshiko, but her large eyes seemed to have lost their luster. Yu Lian used to love Liuli’s big eyes, feeling as if stars were twinkling within them. But now, being looked at by these large, dead fish eyes, even Yu Lian felt a bit creeped out, always feeling that it wouldn't be too strange if this girl suddenly grew four arms, each holding a cleaver.

“Forget it, he must have something else to discuss. We misunderstood,” Lilia said, revealing a mournful smile, then took off her earrings and placed them in her jewelry box, followed by another mournful sigh.

“I didn’t have any expectations from the start. So I’m not disappointed at all now!” Daina looked at her best friends triumphantly, smiling quite brightly. Or rather, overly brightly.

“Then why are you dressed like that?” Zhi Xia shouted.

“That, that is, that’s because… Hmph, I bought a new dress, but I never got to wear it at school! Is it wrong for me to want to wear it today?”

“Come! My dear, look into my eyes! Yes, look into my eyes, and repeat what you just said!”

Liuli rubbed her small face, and a little bit of luster finally returned to her large eyes: “So, this time it’s about serious business, right?”

“Uh, even knowing that, I can’t accept it! Like an idiot! No, like a lovesick fool! All of us here have become lovesick fools!”

“Don’t make a blanket statement, I’m gay!” Annie, who was watching the show, protested.

“Yes, for even a gay Annie to get up at 5 AM to put on makeup, it’s clearly Yu Lian’s fault!”

“Huh? What the hell did I do?” Yu Lian thought, I’m clearly being trampled to death by an Abyssal Space demon while I sleep!

However, even with Yu Lian’s emotional intelligence, he knew that the most foolish thing in the world was to reason with girls. Although he was shivering and crying inside, he could only apologize frankly.

Fortunately, the girls Present were all good girls. Although still angry, they tentatively accepted Yu Lian’s apology, and then the atmosphere on the scene finally shifted from a rose-tinted, cleaver-wielding tension to something gradually more serious.

“First, I told you last time that I plan to open a cockroach extermination design company with Aisen after graduation, and now Tamir has also joined. They are looking for office and laboratory space. If you trust their skills and my judgment, this is the last chance to join. Girls, invest your pocket money, and I guarantee that when you get married, your dowry will be so rich it will blind your in-laws. This world is cruel, girls must learn to protect themselves, and more importantly, have financial freedom!” Yu Lian said with a smile.

When the girls’ expressions seemed to gradually turn strange, they must have taken it in.

Yu Lian felt he should strike while the iron was hot, so he continued: “Of course, this is only the first step of my plan. I plan to invest in some small businesses in New Seville and New Divine Province, and I hope you can help me consult. Wait… Zhi Xia! What are you doing with that knife? Ah! Liuli, why are you holding a knife? More importantly, where did you hide these things before?!”

Well, same old rule, everyone help me come up with an organization name that won't be censored. The one with the most likes, and the one that best fits my aesthetic, will be chosen~~~
