"Dude, what's wrong?" After finishing his work, Lin Hai came to the observation deck of the "Leviathan", which is located above the rear of the hull, similar to a cabin on the bridge of a human surface ship, with solid reinforced isolation portholes on three sides, usually in this kind of cabin, there are also a large number of green viewing plants, which can be used by the crew to watch the space scenery with the naked eye, relax and adjust their mood, and Lin Hai, who originally planned to take a breath here, happened to see Liu Yan sitting on a bench here, looking blankly at the porthole, so he walked up and said hello. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm thinking about a problem." Liu Yan glanced up at him, and then continued to stare at the cosmic space outside the porthole, "Are we doing this well?" Although I said that I encouraged you to create the Iron Eagle organization in the first place, I never imagined that the Iron Eagle would now be so large that it is no longer just a mercenary organization, but has become a behemoth that can be equal to those world powers. ”

"It's not a strange result, is it?" Lin Hai grabbed his hair and sat on the chair opposite Liu Yan, "With the advanced military technology that Tie Ying has mastered, it is not strange that he has grown into this way at all. With such advanced technology, if we do not have the ability to protect ourselves, it is easy to be eaten by others, so in order to improve our ability to protect ourselves, we will naturally transform the soft power such as advanced technology in our hands into hard power such as soldiers and equipment. And although Iron Eagle originally wanted to be a mercenary organization, its foundation is still the regular military armament in another world, and everything is built according to the standards of the national army. After all, we have been the shopkeepers for a short time before, and it is all up to those clone officers to play by themselves, and they will naturally develop the organization according to their original habits, and it is normal for them to become what they are now. I just went with the flow. ”

"But don't you think that's a bit of an exaggeration now?" Liu Yan continued, "We have suddenly changed from a small mercenary to a big force like now, and we may even fight with the whole world......

"We're not fighting the world, we're helping and saving the world." Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "We don't owe anyone anything. ”

"I'm not just talking about that, I'm talking about your plans for the future! Are you going to rule the world? He became a little excited, "Isn't the consequence of doing this the enemy of the whole world?" Are you serious? ”

"Don't you think it......" Lin Hai pointed to the blue planet outside the porthole and said, "Has human society wasted too much energy and resources on this planet?" In the 60s, human beings were able to go to space, even if the space technology at that time was so crude, but after more than half a century, human space exploration is still so slow. If human beings could maintain the speed of space exploration and development at that time, the current level of science and technology would not be lower than that of the earth in another time and space, right? But too many resources have been used in the internal friction among human beings, and too much money for space exploration projects has been diverted to other purposes. Can you imagine? In 61 years, mankind went to space, and more than half a generation has passed, but not even a permanent base on the moon has been established! Not to mention landing on other planets! Just because of the Cold War confrontation and the subsequent struggle for world dominance! It's all a waste of resources that human beings should have spent on space development! If the footsteps of human beings did not stop at that time, where would we need to be the main force to resist the Sijing people now? The humans themselves can at least repel the attack of the Sijing people. ”

"So is that why you've been supporting the formation of GDI, and then taking the opportunity to expand GDI privileges and promote global unification in that way?"

"It's just an opportunity, a fuse." Lin Hai replied, "Actually, I didn't think that far ahead at first. As you know, the original idea was to make a lot of money and live a better life, and on top of that, to fulfill some desires outside of life, it's as simple as that. But after coming out to see more and fighting more, my thinking naturally changed. From being strong just to make money and defend myself, to being stronger for the sake of being strong, wanting more power, I am not willing to continue to be just a mercenary, especially after seeing my strength expand rapidly. And when the Sijing people appeared, we were constantly at war with them, the emergence of the space fleet, and the possibility of colonizing other planets appeared, which broadened my horizons. Why do we have to squeeze into a planet like Earth to fight to the death? The universe is infinitely large, at least in the current vision of mankind, it is infinite, so why should we be trapped in such a small place? Compared to the whole universe, the earth is too small, and I don't have the heart to stay in such a small place for the rest of my life anymore, I want to leave the earth and go to more distant places to explore and adventure. As the saying goes, our journey is a sea of stars. ”

"Since that's the case, then you can leave the earth with the Iron Eagle after you have a space fleet, go to Mars, go to other planets, why do you want to stay here and fight the war?"

"Because I'm also nostalgic." Lin Hai laughed, "No matter how small the earth is, it is also my hometown, and there are also my parents, family, relatives and friends here. Even if I'm gone, I'll come back anyway. And now that the whole planet is in such a war, do you think I can just walk away and ignore nothing? If that's how I am......"

"Then I'd be dead a long time ago." Liu Yan nodded, "In this way, the reason why you haven't left yet is because the war is still going on, and you can go with peace after the world is peaceful." But what does this have to do with global unity? ”

"There is ambiguity in what you say, what do you mean to let me go with confidence......" Lin Hai muttered and replied, "Don't you know that once the war with the Sijing people is over and the human race loses, then naturally it doesn't matter what it is, and I can only leave with the people I can take away." And if humanity wins, then how will the spoils of war be divided and how will they be distributed? As an interstellar civilization, the Sijing people can absorb so many things by people, excluding some things with racial characteristics, human beings can get at least half of the benefits from them. With these things, human beings themselves can easily carry out space voyages, interstellar colonization, and other plans. In the same way, there will be a great increase in human force. After all, even if we are very jealous of Sijing people's things, let alone others. So, what happens when humanity's strength increases, but it remains as fragmented as it is now? When the nuclear weapons that mankind maintains peace lose its deterrent capability, do you think that mankind can continue to maintain the status quo? Won't those countries rob the empty space, resources, population, and markets that were left out in the war to recover their losses in the war? In other words, when the nuclear weapons in everyone's hands are difficult to use, will humanity itself engage in a second war? ”

"No one can say for sure, no one can be sure, because it hasn't happened yet! We are not prophets! Liu Yan said, "Are you preparing for this possibility?" ”

"If you don't prepare now, do you have to prepare for a second battlefield?" Lin Hai waved his arm and said in surprise, "Do you believe in human consciousness more than I do?" Although it is said that there may be a joint research on the technology of the Sijing people in the future, without a strong organization to restrain it, there is a more than 80% chance that the human race will break out a new round of war in order to monopolize those things. This is the result of countless calculations I have made through the EVA central computer, and there has never been a time when the probability of human beings living together in peace and co-development is more than 20 percent. Except for the complete defeat of mankind, no matter what conditions are added and what kind of situation is simulated, the result will be like this. Among them, the reason for the outbreak of war is the highest probability, one is the people of country M, because of the huge losses in the war, they want to monopolize all the relics of the Sijing people in country M, and then they want to frantically plunder all kinds of resources in the world in order to restore national strength, which has a direct conflict with the interests of other countries, so the war broke out. Another reason is that country M was completely defeated, and the surviving countries declared war on each other in order to carve up the territory of country M after the war. These two are the most probable. And if, after the end of the war, there is a decisive force that continues to maintain peace between nations, mediate differences and conflicts, and alleviate contradictions, then mankind will not continue to be destroyed in its own hands. ”

"But they can also disband the GDI after the war." Liu Yan said, "If they can form GDI, they can naturally dissolve GDI." ”

"That's right, that's legally so." Lin Hai shrugged, "But what if the tail doesn't fall off?" As long as GDI can grow to the point where no one can manipulate in this war, then who would dare to easily disband this most powerful army in the world? Besides, once my plan succeeds, and keep the world in a relatively stable state of peace, like learning from another world, and forming a coalition government in the name of an extraterrestrial threat, won't that achieve the goal? Although the process will be more complicated and slow, I have a group of subordinates with sufficient ability, coupled with the perfect cooperation of the Sijing people, after that, I can naturally leave this small planet with confidence and go on my own space adventure. ”

"You know, your words make people feel like a villain."

"So what? When I'm gone, who can do anything to me? I won't understand my intentions until others can colonize the stars on their own. It's right or wrong, I don't bother to care, I just need to settle down in my hometown now, so that I can leave with confidence. Speaking of this, Lin Hai stopped and glanced at Liu Yan, "In short, whether you want to continue to help me or not is up to you, I don't care anyway." I'm not afraid of you going to snitch, after seeing the strength I have now, do you think I will still be as worried as before? It's a big deal, I just take my family and leave the earth directly, leaving this devastated world to you and Sijing people to fight slowly, whether human beings are dead or alive, what does it matter to me? ”

“…… I thought, I need to take a break and think about what you're talking about. Liu Yan said, got up and left the observation deck silently.

When Liu Yan walked out, the hatch on the other side of the observation deck opened, and Colonel Tagate walked in, walked straight to Lin Hai, and then looked at the door where Liu Yan left, and said to Lin Hai: "We are about to land on Earth, and after Commodore Towin's fleet has searched and rescued the battlefield, it will return directly to the lunar base." The Behemoth and Marathon will always be guarding the ship. ”

"It's all up to you, Colonel." Lin Hai sighed and leaned back in his chair completely, "However, the starship should not be too close to the ground, we don't have anti-gravity technology, and the cost of flying in the atmosphere is not light." Maneuverability will also be affected considerably, so let's keep the fleet in the low-earth orbit range. I went down to the ground in a shuttle. ”

"Yes, sir." Targate answered, but didn't leave immediately.

Lin Hai looked at him strangely: "Colonel, is there anything else?" ”

"Sir, about Captain Liu, I need to ......" Tagate raised his hand and scratched his neck, "I can cause some accidents......"

"Not yet." Lin Hai smiled, "Today is just an opportunity to clarify with him and let me understand what I want to do." After all, he is also my best friend, and I also have a life-saving grace for him. It's a good time to take this opportunity to test my brother and see if he can continue this friendship. If it doesn't work, he will be placed under house arrest if he can, and if he can't, someone will naturally deal with him. I've come this far, how can I stop there. By the way, how is the ground battle going? I used to focus all my energy on the battle in space, and then I didn't care about the ground at all, so what's going on there now? ”

"We have received reports that although we have not been able to support the ground forces, the bombardment of the missile group launched by the 'Leviathan' before it left has suppressed the attack of the Sijing people in a short period of time, and has won the opportunity for our people and the people of country M to regroup and mobilize troops, so that they can hold on until now. As for our opponents, the Japanese rebels were completely defeated because of their losses in the engagement, and their morale collapsed. It's just that because of the strong attack of the Sijing people, it is impossible to pursue them in all directions to completely annihilate them, so that they have successfully escaped a lot of people, although it is likely that some of those rebels will give up the battle and hide or hide among the civilians in the future, but there are still some of them will continue to fight with us, becoming one of the long-term destabilizing factors in Japan in the future. As for the Sijing people, although they were still attacking our base and the M Army, they also retreated after we successfully intercepted and destroyed the asteroid. ”

"Anyway, that means we're still winning the war so far?"

"Exactly." Tagai nodded, "It's just that I still don't quite understand, is the battle plan of the Sijing people this time just to cover that asteroid hitting the earth?" As a result, their plans completely failed, and they lost so many starships? This battle is a completely loss-making business. ”
