The root cause of the Plant dispute can probably be said to be very complex and simple; However, it is okay to say that "it can be roughly traced back to the beginning of the New Universe Era, when Plant tried to change the state of the loose federation through the constitution".

But, seriously, mobile suit pilots are warriors no matter how they say they, and sometimes fighters like us don't think so much in war; Staying stupid is one of the secrets of survival, because a chaotic mind is a big reason for being killed, and I'm no exception, I don't think about it that much.

But, of course, there was a reason why I followed the Direndal faction, and at that time, I thought that Dirandal was the strength to inherit the power of the Sara faction and bring a better, more liberal future to the people of Plant, don't laugh, listen to me, yes, freedom.

[When the corners of my mouth are lined with a ridiculous smile, the interviewee who raised his hand to make me continue to be serious, the captain of the Rod Gris team, the former Zaft Red - Tim.] "Blood Swallow". Rod Gris. This man is now at home with household chores and children, and his wife runs a fairly successful kindergarten, and he looks no different from a housewife when he resigns himself to the background. But I know that in the midst of the war that consumed the world, he once rode the battlefield with the terrifying nickname "Blood Swallow", and he used to be with Sarah. Cecil fought to the death on the battlefield, but he fought with him and was saved by him. 】

Yes, for me, following Direndal at that time was the only way to bring Plant a freer future. Maybe this seems like a big joke to too many people, but when you think about it, what exactly is freedom?

[Asking this question, the man in front of him seemed very profound, looking more like a philosopher than a veteran, maybe my brother was right--- these veterans who had experienced the line of life and death were all philosophers. 】

When many people oppose Direndal's plan of destiny, they mean freedom of will; That is, to be able to live without the influence of others; But think about it, suppose there are two societies, one in which you are controlled by other people's thoughts, but you are free to choose/buy everything you want; In another society, you are not controlled by others, but because of the chaos that comes with this absolute freedom, your material life is limited at every turn. Which world would you like to live in?

Of course, I didn't expect so much at the beginning, I only knew what I wanted--- I didn't care that others manipulated us to have the "wishes" they wanted us to have, as long as those wishes could be fulfilled, I thought it would be enough, as long as the people of Plant could live a life free of fear, it would be enough, that is freedom, absolute freedom of will does not exist.

That's why I followed Direndal, I didn't think of Lux at the time. Klein has the ability to lead Plant, and I don't think she was quite a good politician at the time, maybe a successful sage, but not a good politician, not a good king.

So, I chose to follow Direndal and, as you know, took part in the siege of the April Moon, which is where I met him.

[As he said this, Rod Gris's hand kept circling around his chest, as if to help him take a deep breath, and his face twitched a little. 】

You have to understand me, it's not a memory that makes people laugh, and if he's still alive, I'm sure he won't blame me; Damn, of course he doesn't blame me...

I know that war is absolutely cruel, everyone is a hero, everyone is a villain, one person's celebration wine is the tears of another group of people, we drink those bitter liquids, we make ourselves bitter, these are all I know now, maybe I knew it then, but it was different then.

I was young at the time, and I was called the "Blood Swallow", which symbolized my way of fighting at high speed to move the front line and cut down the enemy, and I was proud of my fighting prowess, and the siege of April was going well, both Plant and Zaft were affected by us, and the battle was one-sided, although we were very weak in numbers at the time, but we were about to win.

But, as written on your face, yes, he appeared.

A lone mobile suit, a blood-red mobile suit, appeared alone on the battlefield, appeared within the range of my main monitor, and I led the team to meet it.

And then......

Then, now every time of the year, I will go to the huge memorial monument and stand still, stretch out my hand, touch the cold and glorious surface of the stele, I can't see myself in the stele, it seems that I can see the former comrades-in-arms on the other side of the stele also stretched out their hands to me, but our hands will never touch again...

Like the lone dandelion at Rosalyn's grave, I was the only one left.

At that time, we were very professional, I controlled the pace of the formation, let some "outsider" mercenaries hired on the periphery test him first, I observed his fighting style, body performance, ammunition, all aspects; He knocked down the botched mercenaries one by one, and then I was sure that I could win, that his ammo was depleted, and that I thought he had a fatal flaw--- he was hesitant, hesitant, and like Kira. Yamato is as soft-hearted.

Yes, he seemed to have a false magnanimity, don't get me wrong, and trust me, Kira. Yamato is not magnanimous either, he abides by his rules of battle because he has that strength, it is not magnanimity, but the selfishness and pride that all aces have; However, at that time, he seemed to have a false magnanimity, which means that magnanimity in war is not the same as in general.

The deadliest mistake in war, so I thought I could win.

But..... Something must have changed in that extreme time, he changed, even if it was only for a short time.

We were cut down, as the substance of the murderous name that the 171 tactical squadron later received ...

[Plant Wehrmacht's 171st Tactical Squadron, nicknamed "Lumberjack Squadron", implies that everything in their path will be cut down like a tree targeted by lumberjacks, Sarah.] "The Magician". Cecil began to lead combat units in the latter part of the war].

He added the "red wolf", damn it, we were cut down one by one。。。。。

[Long silence].

Forgive me, after such a long time, I don't want to think about that battle too much, so give me some time.

[Blood Swallow--- Tim. Tim. Razgriz, began to tell me about Sarah--- with him. The Past of Cecil (Sarla.Ceicil).

I think it's fitting to use this as a prologue to my first book, and once again, I would like to thank my brother --- Charlotte. E。 Jaeger, and once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to this book.
