Char listened to Lear's words and always felt that there was something indescribable in his words.

It's like he wants to do something.

"What do you want, Alkstein?" He asked Lear.

"What?" Lear asked with a puzzled face, "What do you want to do?" ”

“。。。。。。。” Char stared at Lear for a moment: "Forget it, just take care not to do dangerous things yourself." ”

"Senior Char, how many times do you want me to say it, your inexplicable concern is a little disgusting."

"Don't be verbose."

"Besides," said Lear with a smile, "we're already doing the most dangerous thing in the world, and there's nothing more dangerous now." ”

"That's it, Char-senpai," Lear grabbed the railing and jumped down, "I still have a little more to do, and sure enough, as the commander of the army, I can't sit back and watch those uncles of the Black Triple Star make a big fuss." ”

"How about you talk to your subordinates a little bit?"

"I'm not very good at that." This is basically nonsense, although it can't be compared to Gilian and his father Zeon Dyken, Char is also a very good morale booster, and later a person who can give speeches in the Federal Assembly.

"That's right," Lear said with a smile, "After all, Char, you seem to like the people behind the scenes more than in front of the stage." ”

He fell to the ground and saluted Char with his head up, "Let's see you at the post-war celebration banquet, Char's senior!" ”

"May the light of victory favor you!"

After saying that, he walked towards the next place without looking back, and the pilots under his command were gathered together, all wearing spacesuits, obviously having completed their combat preparations.

However, they seemed to be talking about something, and Lear walked a few steps.

It turned out that they were getting together and distributing gifts sent from SIDE3, that is, Zeon's own country in order to boost the morale of the front, mobilized the students to write letters of condolence and small gifts or something, I have to say, this hand is still very beautiful, the people actively cooperated, not to mention, but also let the Zeon officers and soldiers who began to question their own righteousness morale, the thing itself has no value, just some immature letters and messy candy, amulets and other small objects, but it makes the soldiers feel that they are valued, I felt like I was doing the right thing.

This work had already begun, and the Assault Mobile Force, which had completed the strategic goal of the previous stage, that is, the capture of the moon, had already obtained their share, but because the Einsatzgruppen had only just arrived on the moon, it was only now that the things had been sent to them.

"This, it can't be true, right?" A soldier poured a ring out of his gift bag, and a diamond the size of a grain of rice shone on the ring, and he said in disbelief.

"Maybe 。。。。。。" The comrade-in-arms next to him was also a little dumbfounded: "However, I heard that my country is propagating to the children, asking them to give the most precious things to the soldiers on the front line." ”

"Maybe the boy didn't think his things were valuable enough, so he sent us his mother's things."

"That's 。。。。。。" The soldier who received the gift said with a wry smile, but there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, only pure gratitude and fighting spirit.

In any case, the children's most sincere feelings for the people who shed their blood and died for them will certainly be touching, and they sincerely believe that the soldiers are heroes, not only supporting the soldiers, but also aiming to become soldiers and serve the country.

This is a sight that can only occur during the war years, when the entire nation moves toward the sole goal of victory, but it is not a country that is too peaceful, and children are dismissive of soldiers, even as useless people can be understood.

"What are you going to do with this?"

"Of course I'm going to send him back, I've decided," he said loudly, "It's not just this thing, I must make enough merit for this battle!" ”

"Then give him my medal as a gift!"

Seeing this scene, Lear nodded secretly, although he didn't like the shameless behavior of the Zeon propaganda department that even children had to take advantage of, but this kind of thing must be done in war.

Except for the most basic bottom line that cannot be broken, all the rest that can be used must be used, this is the real war, the side with naivety and chivalry will lose, he knows this principle, but only recently has he deeply understood.

Because in a war, the more ruthless the side, the more likely it is to win.

Moreover, he also knew that it was a good thing for his troops to be motivated and eager to fight, so that his goal would be much less difficult to create an opportunity for Rebil to escape safely.

All it takes is to assault Rybier's ship with all your might, forcing him to abandon ship and flee, and a vigorous force can help him do just that.

For the rest, we can only hope that Reybir is not the kind of guy who wants to live and die with the battleship, and is brave and fearless to say that it sounds good, and stupid to say that it is bad.

Thinking about it, Rebir should know his weight, and at the critical moment, even if he has to bear the stigma of leaving his subordinates and running away, he should not hesitate to do so.

Because he is not just a general, he does not have those superfluous, unnecessary shames, unlike Lear, who has worried about this and that, he is a pure person who really understands what he wants to do, and decides that he will follow through from the beginning to the end.

Lear thought as he raised his hand to stop his men from trying to stand up when they spotted him, and at the same time, he saw the figure of Aina, standing a little away from the crowd, holding a small pendant that was shoddy but precious to a child, and her eyes were gentle but sad.

Lear knew what was going on in her mind, as she had been her not so long ago, torn between two very different emotions.

He didn't pay much attention, but stood quietly behind everyone.

How many of these people survived?

Even if it was a surprise attack, it would be a suffocating task to take Reybil's ship directly, which meant that they had to break through the hundreds of ships of the Federation Army in the chaotic battlefield, and for this, Lear was mentally prepared to lose at least half of his troops.

The soldier who said he was going to send his medal to his country's children had a 1 in 2 chance of dying.

Anabel Cardo and Jonny Laydon, the two best pilots under his command at the moment, are likely to be the seeds of the ace, and there is also a 1 in 2 chance that they will die.

And Aina, her new friend, also has a 1 in 2 chance that she will die.

Even if it's me, I don't have the optimism that I can return with.

But it has to be.

Not only that, but now he had to stir them up even more elated, so desperate that they thought they were dying for Zeon's victory。。。。。。。 Die like this.

He is really depraved, but despite this, the lower limit that has been broken cannot make him generate more fluctuations.

If this 'fall' is also necessary, all that remains in his heart is steadfastness.

At this moment, his subordinates began to sense that something was wrong from the demeanor of the people around them, and their joyful hearts, immersed in the condolences sent from their homeland, began to react, and finally saw Lear's presence.

"Lieutenant?" There were people sitting on the ground who were in a hurry to get up.

"Alright, so be it," Lear said with a smile, "How about the condolences from your own country, you have all received them?" ”

"Yes!"

"Roger!"

Lear's subordinates spoke loudly and in a somewhat chaotic voice, and even Anabel Cardo, who had always kept a straight face, actually showed a slight imperceptible smile on his face.

"As everyone knows, Major Packat returned to SIDE3 for some reason," Lear said, Nolles left naturally because of the previous proposal of Cecilia, he was a retainer of Sakhalin before he was a soldier of Zeon, and for this chance to save the master's family, he almost immediately left all his work and returned to SIDE3, because unlike Lear's side, who only needed to convince his father, Sakhalin had a large group of retainers who needed to agree with him, and perhaps understood what Noles was going to do, Cecilia provided the maximum convenience: "Because of this, I have been appointed as your commander, although I am still very immature, but please support me a lot!" ”

As he spoke, he nodded lightly and gestured to everyone with a smile on his face.

"Oh!!"

"Great!!"

This news caused warm applause from everyone, not that they hated Nolles, but that Norles had not fought with them much after all, and they would naturally support Lear, an outstanding candidate with no problems with his ability, attitude, and merits, and they were originally Lear's subordinates, and they had no opinion on Lear becoming their official direct leader.

Someone even said something like this, somewhat unabashed: "This is long overdue, anyway, Packat will just sit on the bridge and not come out, and it is better to run away than to drag us back in the future。。。。。。 ”

"Hey!" The person next to him nervously pulled him and told him to restrain a little.

Lear noticed that Aina's face was a little stiff, and she lowered her head slightly, not looking into Lear's eyes.

Run away after sharing the credit, it turns out that everyone thinks of Noles like this?

But the only one who knows what Norles is thinking is Lear, or if you need to add Aina, if you just look at the behavior, you have never fired MS once since the war, and immediately after being promoted to major, she ran back to SIDE3。。。。。。

It's a pity, but Lear can't justify him at the moment, because he needs to get everyone up now, a 。。。。。。 Bad role models are also good targets for use.

With apologies for Nolles in his heart, he continued: "Soon, we are about to launch an attack on the main force of the Federation Army, are you ready?" ”

"Have faith?"

He deliberately said in a slightly arrogant, but imposing tone: "I will explain to you in advance that our army will win this battle!" And it must be a big win! ”

"There is no element of failure!"

"As everyone knows, our army's MS has an overwhelming advantage over the Federation's fleet, and the Federation's warships look amazing, but they are actually just a king-sized target!"

"Sinking a battleship isn't worth mentioning, each of you should sink at least two of them, right?" Lear smiled and said, "I've already won four ships in just two sorties, Corporal Patton, you just wanted to say that you want to send the medal to the child who gave you a gift?" ”

The soldier named Gould Patton (Note 1) smiled wryly: "Yes, I had that idea. ”

"Then you have to work harder, you can't get a good medal for only sinking one battleship, if you sink it with someone else, maybe you will be given a medal, if you want that kid to be proud of you, why don't you aim for the third-class Zeon Cross!"

"Yes, I'll try!"

"Very well, that's what you want," Lear laughed and patted him on the shoulder, trying to play a character who didn't quite resemble his personality, "That's right, guys, win, we're going to win!" ”

"This is our last battle against the Federation!"

"As long as we defeat the space fleet that the Federation relies on for survival, the Earth Federation will no longer dare to oppress us, they will inevitably bow their knees to us, and we, the Principality of Zeon, will become the savior of all mankind!"

"Decades from now, you can lie on the sun and sand and say to your grandchildren, back then, we brought down the Earth Federation, and you will be their eternal heroes and their descendants!"

"Tell me, do you want to be heroes?"

"Want to win, want to be a winner?"

"Want to travel to Earth?"

"Tell me out loud!"

"I want to !!!!!" "The Lear troops present, including the whole army, are only about 100 people, but it is these 100 people who shout out the momentum of thousands and 10,000 people!

They have fire in their eyes, and the fuel is heroic heart and fighting spirit.

"Excellent! I do feel your determination! ”

"Everyone, that's right, our victory is inevitable, not to mention anything else, for this battle our army has entered more than 2,000 MS!" Lear waved his arm vigorously: "But have you thought about it, the Federation Army has less than 500 warships, and on average, it can only be divided into one-fourth of each person's head!" ”

"This also has to get rid of those who will definitely be able to achieve greater results, such as me, my goal this time is to double my results!"

"I'm going to sink four by myself! How many more will fall on you? ”

"If you want to win a medal, you have to do it better than others, one out of four? That's not enough! ”

"Let me remind you once again that this war is the last battle with the Federation, and after this battle, the Federation will surrender, that is to say, this is also your last chance to make meritorious contributions before you retire from the army!"

Words came out of his mouth that were almost pure lies.

"If you miss it, when your grandson wants to see your medal in the future, you won't be able to take out the battleship sinking medal, you can only take out the shabby commemorative medal, can you accept it?"

"Never!!" The crowd shouted, their foreheads bruised.

"Very well," Lear smiled and nodded, but said something that seemed to have nothing to do with it: "Winning this battle, our motherland will be able to liberate itself from the oppression of the earth, and our cause will undoubtedly be just!" ”

Just when everyone felt a little delicate about Lear's inexplicable turn of topic, Lear changed his words and said coldly: "But just now, when I was passing by the team of black trifecta, I heard their commander say this. ”

In fact, the rest of Lear's troops also heard the words of the black triple star, and in addition to feeling a little uncomfortable, they didn't have any superfluous thoughts about the friendly army, but Lear now wants to detonate this contradiction and add a competitive buff to his subordinates.

"Defeat the Federation, win, and get everything, honor, money, fame, and women!"

"What a joke!" Lear scolded sharply: "We are fighting for the motherland and for the great good, is the statement of the black triple star treating you as hyenas who kill people for money and women?" ”

"Are you such shameless scumbags, answer me!"

"It's not!!" ”

"That's right, you are heroic warriors, you have to kill people for the sake of your country, the Iron Knights who killed the invaders and galloped in the universe, and you are by no means hyenas like them!"

"I want you to make a contribution and become a legend that everyone envies, I want to prove your justice, to prove that you and the Black Triple Star gang are not the same thing, but what is the way?" Lear's eyes were bright and radiant.

"I thought of a way to do it all!" He jumped up a slightly higher staircase and spoke condescendingly to his subordinates, creating an air of dominance over the other side.

"Now I will announce the objectives of our Alksstein forces in this operation!" Alkstein's troops are not officially called, and there is even a bit of impatience to say it at this moment, but in order to strengthen the sense of connectedness of the soldiers, Lear also makes this statement.

"The only target of our Alxstein forces in this operation is the head of Rebil!!"

Lear, whose real purpose is to let Reybiel escape smoothly, tells a big lie without changing his face.

"Sink his ship, cut off his head, our Alxstein unit is the greatest hero of this battle, even this war, we will become heroes, we will become legends, we will be the object of praise by all!"

"In the future, each of you may become the protagonist of a movie or a novel, and become the best object for future generations to understand this war, and in the future, when everyone talks about this battle, the first thing that comes to mind is us, the legendary Alkerstein troops, the heroic troops that ended the war!"

"That's our only purpose in this war, so don't let the other troops take the credit from us, we must rush in first, and then kill Reybir before the others can react, just like a fierce general who took the head of a general in an ancient army!"

"Do you have faith? Do you have the confidence to defeat the Federation, or even your own comrades? ”

"There is !!" ”

The atmosphere was completely stirred up, and the officers and men looked eagerly, even feverishly, at their commanders, and spontaneously uttered a uniform cry, even though no one had organized them.

This is precisely the triumph of will.

At this time, Lear nodded to the female rectifier who gave Lear all kinds of strange names, and motioned for her to take out the things she had prepared, and the other party nodded happily with starry eyes, and then operated the maintenance arm to prop up a long metal rod.

A canvas is tied to the metal rod, and a simple compressed gas jet, on the canvas is a black Zeon badge on a yellow background similar to the color scheme of Lear's body, and on the other side is a Valkyrie with a gun, and the Valkyrie has a huge dragon head pierced on the tip of the gun, which is probably some kind of allusion.

This is exactly a battle flag, a battle flag that can be used in the cosmic vacuum, and the whole is filled with a divine terror.

"This is the battle flag I have for our troops," Lear said, pointing to the flag, "As you must know, after this battle, our army will be disbanded." ”

"At that time, we will go our separate ways, and I am afraid that this temporary army will not be able to save even the number," Lear said in an accentuated tone: "But even so, this battle flag will also witness our victory, witness our exploits in killing Rebier, even if this army no longer exists, this banner will be passed on to the next millennium and the next millennium along with our deeds!" ”

"We will be the greatest army in the history of mankind, because it is because of us that the decline of the most powerful nation in the history of mankind has been decided!"

"History is changed because of us!"

"Let the Federation lose our hearts, and let the generations cheer for us, gentlemen!"

"Under this banner, let's go to the day of victory together!"

“Sieg Zeon！！”

““Sieg Zeon！！！！！” ”

“““Sieg Zeon！！！！！！！！！！！！！” ””

The officers and soldiers repeated the cheers of Viva Zeon feverishly and repeatedly, and Lear raised his right arm into a fist, but his heart was softly relieved.

It worked.

———— Dividing Line————

Note 1: Gould Barton, the book friend 'Core Breaker', originally wanted to go to the Marines, but at this time it was not good to introduce the Marines role, so he temporarily stayed under Lear for a while, and then the troops were disbanded and you went to the Mariners.
