I want to be arrested!

"No, Hosea, no! We're still missing something, damn it, you old man are much crazier than I am!" Dutch shook his head, still rejecting Hosea's idea.

"What are we still missing? sh*t!, Dutch, you always say we're missing something. It was the same last time; if we had attacked Washington earlier, we probably would have taken it. But you said it would turn into a chaotic mess if we did, and now we have a sufficient excuse to take it, but you still say we're missing something!

What exactly are we still missing?

Oh, Dutch, I feel like you've changed, you've become a bit soft.

Is it because this long period of comfortable living has made you forget what you once said?"

Hosea looked at Dutch, who was sitting on the sofa, with a pained expression, lamenting his inability to improve.

"Oh, you old madman, Hosea! We're still missing time, we're still missing my arrest, we're still missing my final speech at the trial!

Hosea, what good would it do us to take Washington now? Once the United States begins to descend into internal strife, Europe will certainly seize the opportunity to intervene. At that point, it will either be us against all of Europe, or the entire United States will once again revert to a state of chaos.

This will lead us to our doom! Hosea, so what we must wait for first is for Europe to fall into chaos.

Besides that, I need to be arrested. Only then can I truly ignite public outrage, and only then can the German Emperor panic. He will have no choice but to quickly launch a war to seize control of the United States while it is still embroiled in internal chaos, and before other countries in Europe have seen a Tank. Otherwise, he will lose the advantage of his weaponry and the best timing, and only then will your favorite stage truly arrive!"

Dutch stood up from the sofa, raising his hands high, his eyes filled with fanaticism and madness.

The aircraft previously used to determine Germany's troop deployment time has now become Dutch's arrest.

If Dutch is arrested, Kaiser Wilhelm will be the most panicked. This is because it means the existence of Tanks could be known to other countries at any time, and their weapon advantage would be gone.

Therefore, as soon as he receives news of Dutch's arrest, he will certainly send troops immediately, launching a blitzkrieg while the United States is in internal chaos and their weapons still have an advantage.

Otherwise, there will never be such a perfect opportunity again.

"No, Dutch, I disagree! You cannot be arrested! If you go, you will surely die! You are joking with your own life!"

Listening to Dutch's words, Hosea strongly objected.

How could this be? Is their leader going to be in the enemy's home when they fight?

Moreover, once Dutch goes, there is absolutely no way he will survive.

Even if the United States Federal Government doesn't kill him out of fear of the western army, European capitalists will certainly send assassins to kill him!

"Hahaha, don't worry, Hosea. No one dares to kill me, and no one can kill me. The United States Federal Government's protection of me is even far greater than our own protection of me!

They dare not let anything happen to me, because I will be the only one who can delay the conflict between East and West."

Dutch laughed heartily.

It's one thing if the people sent by the United States Federal Government to arrest him didn't succeed; if they did, that would really cause a huge mess.

The fury of the West will scorch the entire United States.

"No, Dutch, I also disagree with your idea! This is too dangerous, Dutch!"

Before Hosea could persuade him further, the villa door was pushed open from the outside.

Then Arthur, John, and Davey, carrying their small schoolbags, walked in from outside.

These children were all sent to the military academy for classes, acting as both teachers and students.

As teachers, they taught students marksmanship; as students, they studied military affairs. Arthur and the others had a very fulfilling time during this period.

However, at this moment, their expressions were not good.

Why would Dutch, the gang leader, not stay at home but insist on being arrested?

Doesn't he know how many people want to kill him?

"It's alright, Arthur, only by being truly tried can I stir up true public opinion, not by raising the flag of rebellion every time the United States Federal Government thinks of trying me!"

Dutch shook his head, still insisting on his idea.

Arthur said angrily, "What's the difference? Isn't it all resistance? Is it different just because you've been arrested once?"

"Of course it's different, Arthur! They only want to try me, and if I rebel because of that, then it's rebellion, it's me initiating this war for my own safety and desires! After countless sacrifices, countless people will betray me, and we won't be able to stand on the moral high ground!

But after I am arrested, the people will spontaneously launch a war, and then it will be the will of the masses! We will stand on an absolute ideological high ground, and those who support us will be endless!"

It all boils down to one sentence.

If he wasn't arrested, it would be Dutch Van der Linde versus the United States Federal Government. When many people die and the goodwill is worn away, not many people will support him anymore.

But if he is arrested and the people launch a war out of anger, then it will be the American people versus the United States Federal Government. The more people die, the angrier everyone gets.

This is completely transforming a war of interests into a war of ideology.

The American people will support Dutch Van der Linde with everything they have.

This is also the difference between World War I and World War II.

World War I was a war of interest launched by Wilhelm for outward expansion, so when the German people no longer wanted to fight, they surrendered, and the German Emperor could only step down.

However, World War II was a war chosen by the German people, fighting to the last moment, even after the capital fell, there were still countless loyalists who swore not to surrender.

Arthur and Hosea couldn't understand Dutch's idea. Davey and Mike stood by, not daring to speak.

John, however, stepped forward and said, "They don't even know who Dutch Van der Linde is, why can't we just find someone to impersonate Dutch?"

"My goodness, John, after all this schooling, you still haven't reached an adult's way of thinking?" Dutch covered his face, unable to bear looking at John with his small schoolbag.

"sh*t!, Dutch, I just made a suggestion!"

John was very displeased with Dutch's attitude.

"He likes to smoke in the classroom during class and always gets kicked out. Try to understand him more," Arthur said, trying to smooth things over for John.

"But no matter what, I still disagree with you going to the East alone, Dutch. At the very least, let us follow, or just drive our Tanks over!"

"No, Arthur…"

The frantic shouts of protest outside the villa were deafening, and inside, the debate about whether Dutch should be arrested was vociferous.

But ultimately, there was only one idea.

That is: War!
