Chapter 12: Proxy Wars

The next trend of the E2 campaign is the battle between the two ace pilots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Fengyu wins, the Mobile Force will easily take down the pirate fleet and keep the losses to a minimum. On the contrary, if Fengyu loses, the cost of this battle will be great.

Speaking of which, the existence of pirate aces can be called an outlier.

After the fall of the New African Kingdom in SC0083, the kingdom's fleet, which had lost its roots, was torn apart, and the current pirate fleet has been living a wandering life. Even with the covert support of the UAC Federation, a mobile unit was developed, but it was still difficult to train an ace pilot. Without the experience of fighting on the regular battlefield, it is difficult for ordinary pilots to accumulate experience and crash counts, how can an ace pilot appear.

You don't have to guess to know that the background of this black ace pilot is definitely not so simple. In fact, he was an ace pilot trained by the UAC military on his behalf, and had been serving in the Foreign Regiment of the UAC Fleet earlier.

The so-called Foreign Legion is not a formal formation, but an unofficial name for the remnants of New Africa in the UAC Federation. Those new African soldiers who defected to the UAC were dispersed and assigned to serve in the fleets of the New Asian Galaxy's front, and then sent back to the pirate fleet after they became talented, and then wreaked havoc in New Asia at the behest of the UAC.

The pirate ace was named Naruatsa, and during his years in the UAC fleet, his hands were already stained with the blood of countless New Asian pilots. Therefore, he is particularly familiar with the aircraft and pilots of New Asia, and he is also very handy in combat, compared to the mobile team left in L4 Space City, he is definitely a genuine ace pilot, and even his car is actually provided by UAC, not that the pirate fleet itself has such high-end research and development capabilities.

The UAC also did not cultivate him without reciprocal returns, and the aggressor was not so impartial. In fact, he had been in the UAC fleet for ten years before returning to the pirate fleet, and was released at the age of thirty-five.

For pilots, the age of 30 is a hurdle, and as they get older, the body's reflexes begin to decline, and they no longer have the agility of young people. Some pilots with high physical fitness can still last until the age of forty, but most of them reach the trough at the age of thirty-five. So in terms of UAC, the prospective ace pilot retired to the second-tier fleet at the age of thirty, while the ace pilot was set at the age of thirty-five.

That is, Naruatsa is actually an ace pilot who was retired by the UAC. Of course, in terms of the physical fitness of the black, he was still years away from the trough. The UAC side was also embarrassed to squeeze him completely dry, and did not wait until he was forty years old to release him.

And according to the agreement between the pirate fleet and the UAC, Naruatsa continued to serve in the pirate fleet until the age of forty before he could be officially retired. After retiring, he will be arranged to settle in the Cape of Good Hope and enjoy a happy life for the rest of his life.

The dirt behind politics is always so dirty. The regular UAC army could not directly attack civilian targets, nor could it plunder civilian merchant ships in New Asia, so they supported the remnants of the New African Kingdom to act as the black hand. Even if the pirate fleet were caught by New Asia as it was now, they would be able to clean themselves up.

That's right, the weapons and equipment used by the pirate fleet are not UAC, don't you see that they are all imitations? The capital ship is a replica of the main order star, and the mobile suit is an MS replica, with a slight change, it cannot be considered provided by UAC. Anyway, in the final analysis, the humanoid mobile suits used by various countries now are all derived from the imitation of MS, and no one can talk about these equipment.

As for the L4 Space City, which was completely built with the assistance of UAC, what is it, even Fengyu knows that it is a civilian facility and cannot be attacked. The UAC does not violate the norms of international law. And the L5 semi-fortresses, although they also have their technical assistance in them, at least outwardly in the style of the new Africans themselves, and likewise not a handle that the new Asian republic can grasp.

Even if New Asia talks about military technology, it is a matter of grinding between the two sides, whether the pirate fleet has the ability to build fortresses, build warships, and create mobile suits, the UAC will not admit it, and no one can do anything about them. Anyway, both sides are already at war, and there are no more severe punishments.

If New Asia has the ability, it can also support pirate agents to go to the New American galaxy to wreak havoc. Regarding this, it's just that Fengyu doesn't know, and New Asia may not have done it.

This is a proxy war between the great powers of the old era.

The big countries themselves are sanctimonious, but they instruct the small countries to break the rules of the game and do things that are inconvenient for them to do. Taking the end of the old era as an example, the Iran-Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan, and the war in Syria were all proxy wars after the end of World War II, which were needed by major powers to avoid the outbreak of World War III and have their interests appealing.

In the cosmic age, there are only four large countries left in the human world, and there are no smaller countries in the gap to act as agents. While conventional warfare is going on at the same time, there are always darker and darker means to be taken. So there is a new approach, and the pirate fleet is a new era agent who changes the soup but not the medicine. In fact, the use of pirates as agents is not a new tactic, as was the case with the privateering licenses issued by European countries during the Age of Discovery.

Otherwise, in this cosmic age with highly developed technology, the pirate forces that lack foundation will quickly disappear because technology cannot keep up with the trend, and there is no need for major powers to send fleets to exterminate them. Not to mention, the engines of today's civilian spaceships have improved a lot compared to the era of the fall of the New African Kingdom, and without the support of the UAC, the pirate fleet could not even catch up with the civilian spacecraft, how could they engage in looting activities.

And looking at this problem from a deeper level, the mysterious organization of this world is not using agents. The difference is that the great powers use pirates as agents, while the nos directly use the great powers and use their fleets as their own agents. They used the UAC military to create the Landanum L4 incident and exacerbate the contradictions between the two countries. They used mobile forces to attack UAC civilian targets and discredit the justice of the New Asian Republic in counterattacking the aggressor.

When the Mobile Force carried out the military operation "Starlight is our lighthouse", it was in fact planned and instigated by the NO. The MGAS-01 ship, led by Colonel Zhu Nan, refused to attack civilian targets, only to a limited extent to attack UAC military targets. And the commander of the 2nd formation of the Mobile Army made the same choice, directly standing on the opposite side of NO.

So then there was a conspiracy in the W1 star field, and the MGAS-01 ship and the 2nd Formation of the Mobile Army were all wiped out. On the surface, it is to intensify the contradictions between the two countries, but at a deeper level, it is to eliminate the opposition forces within the mobile army and further strengthen the control of the mobile army.

All these are different manifestations of proxy wars.

As long as there are unjust demands, proxy wars will always exist.
