Lear sat at the back of the room, and Nolles sat directly in front of him, and it was obvious that the atmosphere of the meeting was very strange, as if there were two completely different people in the whole room, one was hot air and the other was cold, but they did not convert into rain, but formed two atmospheres that did not blend with each other.

There are more people, they are excitedly communicating with their comrades-in-arms, boasting about their achievements, laughing loudly, and communicating with their comrades-in-arms with body language.

The other has a feeling similar to the eve of the send-off, heavy, stagnant, and breathless, such a small number of people, they are silent, some people frown, some people close their eyes to recuperate, even the people who are close at hand do not communicate, if someone comes to talk to them, it is similar to a perfunctory reply.

Sima Karahau also falls into this category, and Lear is surprised to find that more than one of them has a look of hatred towards her.

He even saw someone passing by Sima without squinting, but his mouth moved lightly twice, as if he had said something.

Ex。。。 Cu。。。。。 Executioner?

Before he could tell anything, he saw the muscular man beside Sima stand up violently, looking horrible as if he wanted to eat people, but he was halfway up when Sima held down his shoulder, and finally he just glared at the man viciously, and then sat down stupidly.

What the hell is going on?

If there is anything that these people have in common, it is that they are all people who participated in the combat operations of the Space Attack Force, this sentence is nonsense, and all the people present are members of the Space Attack Army, except for Lear and Nolles.

Something must have happened in the previous combat operation, Lear thought, there were so many things before that he didn't pay much attention to the situation over there, but now it seems that he should find out.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Dozru Zabi enters!"

"Stand up!"

"Salute!"

"Alright, sit down."

Just then, Dozru walked in through the door, he had changed into the rank of lieutenant general, and he was wearing a luxurious military uniform of his own character - everyone in the Zabi family had a special military uniform, as if it would not be able to show their noble status without this.

However, unlike the gorgeous military uniform, Dozru's face was not good-looking, and Lear felt that it was probably because the pressure of the decisive battle with the Federation Space Force was too heavy, and he looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time, and the whole person had a feeling of success if he didn't succeed.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was nothing to say about SIDE4's actions, SIDE4, whose fleet had been completely destroyed, had no ability to resist, but Dozru did not launch a landing operation as Lear conjectured, but was very strange, just letting the fleets block the airport of SIDE4's main satellite.

What kind of medicine is this selling in Dozru's gourd? Lear thought to himself, is it to force SIDE4 to surrender through the blockade?

It's impossible, since SIDE4 has fallen to the Federation, it won't be so easy to switch to Zeon, it will only make itself unpleasing to both sides, no matter how incompetent the top management of SIDE4 is, it will not be incompetent to that extent.

Moreover, the so-called blockade is to exchange time for casualties, Zeon does not have so much time, and SIDE4 will definitely not succumb to a short-term siege.

He didn't notice that after arranging this task, the atmosphere in the venue took a subtle turn.

Some people have smiles on their faces and their bodies are straight.

Some people's faces changed drastically, but in the end they still sighed and didn't say a word.

Some people look terrified, as if they hate something, and they are ready to burst out and hurt others.

Some people close their eyes and don't say a word, as if they weren't there.

"Then, as last time, the specific execution of the purge operation will be carried out by the marines," Dozru turned to look at Sima Karahau, his face seemed to be a little unbearable, but he still said without pause, "Is it okay, Major Karahau?" ”

What purge operations? Dozru didn't mention anything about the purge, but everyone else seemed to know it, and Learza suddenly felt awkward about being sidelined.

Speaking of the Marine Corps, which was originally formed for the purpose of using fast warships to maneuver and carry out various special operations missions including suppression, breaking diplomatic relations, and infiltration, Lear felt that what Dozru wanted to carry out might be to carry out suppressive small-scale infiltration operations in key areas, such as the SIDE4 Council and the headquarters of the Federal Garrison Force, if so, the Marine Corps in Sima is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

If that's the case, Lear feels as if he's found a reason for Sima to become like this, infiltration means that you have to fight with a small number of troops, and if you're not careful, you can suffer heavy losses, and maybe Sima is the same.

Lear couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Sima, whose troops must have suffered terrible casualties, so it was understandable for the man to call Sima his executioner, and the commander of the large number of lost troops would be rebuked in this way.

Lear felt that he could understand Dozru's thoughts, a large-scale landing operation meant that the Zeon army had to fall into the quagmire of ground street fighting with the garrison army, even if the garrison army was poor in combat, it would suffer considerable losses, in this case, it was the best choice to conduct infiltration operations, this was the case in both the cosmic century and the Western era, although this was a little unfair to Sima's troops, but this was also a helpless thing.

Because compared to other troops from the right path, Sima's troops have a large number of 'waste', deserters, dissidents, slum-borns, violents, and so on.

Lear is not prejudiced against these people, after all, he actually knows that many of them are understandable to be reduced to this, such as anti-Zabi, unlucky people who are treated differently just because of their poor background, scapegoats who are thrown out by the collective, and unsociables who are ostracized by the army。。。。。。

If you want to die, it is better to let these people die first, such an idea, Lear also understands.

No matter how much he hated this discrimination, he also knew he couldn't do anything.

He thought rationally, his heart full of sympathy for Sima, but he had no intention of stepping forward.

After all, someone has to do this operation, if he comes out and Sima doesn't go, then he can only go by his own troops, and he can't use the blood of his subordinates to help the marines.

Sorry, Major Karahaw.

Thinking about things that are completely different from reality, Lear probably looks as ridiculous as a clown.

He was still thinking about the war in a reasonable way, even if his hands were covered in blood, even if he almost experienced death, even if he thought he had done the worst.

He has not yet connected the stories in the books, the tragic stories that have happened countless times in human history, to reality.

He still thinks that this war, like anything else, has some kind of bottom line made up of human goodwill, compassion and ethics.

He hadn't reacted yet.

There is no such thing as a bottom line for human beings.

And.

How cruel can humans be.

Luckily, he may be called lucky, and before he suffers even more irreparable damage as a result, he will soon learn how foolish he is.

Sima stood up, Lear, who was sitting behind her, couldn't see the expression on her face, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "Yes, General." ”

"Very well, I'll leave it to you, Major Karahau."

Sima didn't say a word, then sat down.

At this moment, Dozru said, "Alright, this is the end of the meeting, and you all go back to your respective posts." ”

"Captain Packat, and Lieutenant Alkerstein stay for a moment, and adjourn!"

By the time everyone was gone, only Dozru, Lear, and Norles were left in the room.

Dozru seemed to have some task to arrange, but he talked about the Fourth Mobile Fleet first: "The previous mission of pursuing the Fourth Fleet was very good. ”

"I have read your report, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Rear Admiral Louis Douglas, and I once had a relationship, he is a very good fleet commander, although I thought you would definitely win, but I did not expect you to defeat him at such a small price," Dozru had a satisfied expression on his face: "The victory over that Louis Douglas without losing a single battleship is even better than I imagined." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, General!" Lear and Nolles replied at the same time.

Dozru did not mention the loss of the MS, this is due to the fact that the MS is inherently expendable, and the man-hours and costs are not comparable to those of battleships.

"I didn't expect that General Douglas to choose such a way to die。。。。。。。" Dozru sighed: "Although there are a lot of fools, there are also a lot of powerful guys in the Federation. ”

Dozru showed a look of remembrance, and at this time Nolles spoke: "General, about the replenishment of our department's combat strength。。。。。。 ”

The direct superior of the Movestank, Cecilia, is now far away on the moon, and it is unrealistic to ask her for reinforcements, and Lear and Norles can only hope for Dozru.

"Ah, this," Dozru looked embarrassed: "After all, you belong to the Assault Mobile Army, and it may not be appropriate for me to directly replenish your troops by bypassing the eldest sister." ”

"Besides, my side can't be regarded as having enough combat power。。。。。。。 His face hesitated.

"But Your Excellency 。。。。。。。" Noles said hurriedly.

"You wait," Dozru raised his hand to stop Nores' defense, "it's impossible to directly replenish your troops. ”

"Presumably you also know that I can't send reinforcements to you past my eldest sister, it's taboo."

"But," seeing the disappointed look on Nores' face, Dozru thought for a moment and said, "After all, you are a unit that has made great contributions, so it is unreasonable not to give you any additions." ”

"In this way, the pilot will definitely not be able to give it to you, but you can mention the supplies as you like, and you will have what the attacking army has, so you can rest assured of this."

"This 。。。。。。。 I see, thank you, General! Although he was a little disappointed, Noles could only say this.

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, I let you stay because I have a task to give you." Dozru changed the subject.

"Yes, order, General!" ”

"That's right," Dozru said with a somewhat displeased, unspeakable expression, "。。。。。。 There is a group of refugees who are going into exile from SIDE4 and they are ready at the airport. ”

"The Einsatzgruppen must be before the Marine Corps begins the clearance operation。。。。。。。 Protect them. ”

"This is a secret mission, and you must pay attention to secrecy."

As it turned out, Leardon understood what these so-called refugees were.

"Understood, General, let's go." Noles said.

"Well, let's go," Dozru said as if he had thought of something, just as Lear wanted to leave, "Lear, you fought very well in the previous battle, I have just read the statistics of the results of each unit, you have accumulated four ships and sunk them, right?" ”

Nolles understood that Dozru wanted to talk to Lear about something else, so he saluted and pushed the door open and walked out of the conference room.

Me? Lear doesn't know why Dozru suddenly mentioned himself, but he calls himself Lear instead of Alxstein, proving that he deliberately wanted to say it as a friend, so he doesn't ask with honorifics, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Well, it's nothing," Dozru said with a frown and a moment's thought, "keep trying, get more results." ”

"After this war, I will recommend you to Brother Kilian."

"As long as there are military exploits, the eldest brother of Gilian will 。。。。。。 him" Dozru stopped suddenly.

"Keep up the good work until then."

What does it mean to recommend to Kilian? Lear didn't know what Dozru meant, but he replied anyway.

"I'll do my best, Dozru."

Most of this is not true.

———— Dividing Line————

After asking Maggie to gather information about the SIDE2 campaign, Lear and his MS troops traveled to the vicinity of the airport of the SIDE4 capital satellite.

The island colony didn't think about invading from the beginning, and with the exception of SIDE3 and SIDE7, which was only built after the situation deteriorated, none of the SIDE were equipped with anti-aircraft guns, but then again, anti-aircraft guns didn't have much effect on MS troops.

With the exception of the port guards, which were armed with rifles and other light weapons, the MS units of the Einsatzgruppen took the entire port without encountering any resistance.

After Lear and the others had done all this, a SIDE4 garrison escorted the fugitives to the airport, where they boarded a large immigration ship called the Ark, or a large luxury cruise ship, and then headed in the direction of Zeon's main fleet under the escort of MS troops.

SLIGHTLY AWAY FROM SIDE4, LEAR RECEIVES A COMMUNICATION REQUEST.

It was sent by the Ark.

Thanks to the extremely low concentration of Minovsky particles in the SIDE4 universe, Lear is able to conduct a video conversation on MS in a rare way.

The picture shows a man in his late fifties, tall, shaved and wearing gold-rimmed eyes, who looks very elegant and imposing.

Then he blurted out a flattery that was akin to flattery: "Thank you very much for the assistance of all the loyal soldiers of the Zeon Army, if it weren't for your timely arrival, I'm afraid I and all the innocent civilians on board would have been persecuted by the SIDE4 government!" ”

"The contemptible is the representative 。。。。。。 of refugees"

At this moment, as if he had discovered some new world, he asked Lear, "Wait, are you the child of Lord Alkestein。。。。。。。 ”

"Yes, I'm Lear Wolfgang Alxstein, pardon me, may I ask who you are?" Does this person know himself? Lear doesn't remember seeing the man.

"Oops, it's Master Lear!" The man who claimed to be the refugee representative said loudly with his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect you to come to the rescue in person, I am really, really grateful!" ”

"Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog! You may not remember me, but I knew your father and visited the house, and I admired Ling Zun very much at that time。。。。。。 ”

When he learned that Lear was not only an officer on Zeon's side, but also a very well-established family, the gushing flattery made Lear not know what to say for a while, he was not particularly good at dealing with this kind of self-talking person, but he also knew that the way to deal with this kind of person was not to follow his rhythm.

Finally ended the call, and Lear learned in the conversation that this person knew his father, and it seemed that he was a powerful politician on the SIDE4 side, and he had dealings with many people on the SIDE3 side, and he had been advocating for cosmic independence at SIDE4.

However, Lear felt that this man was more appropriate to be a puppet than a political ally of the Principality of Zeon.

No wonder to take them out, and keep it a secret, Lear couldn't help but think of the origin of the word ark, and he didn't think that this ship was all 'the lives that God wanted Noah to save'.

[The world is full of **, hatred and jealousy, only Noah is a righteous man. Angered by the sins of mankind, God decided to destroy the corrupted world with a flood, leaving only a limited number of creatures for Noah. 】

[God asked Noah to build an ark out of Gopher wood, and to teach Noah the specifications and construction of the ark. After that, while building the ark, Noah exhorted the world to repent of his behavior. 】

[Noah spent 120 days on his own to finally build a huge ark, and obeyed God's words to move the whole family of eight into it, and all kinds of birds and beasts also came in pairs and entered the ark in an orderly manner. 】

[Seven days later, the flood fell from the sky, and it rained for 40 days and nights, and all people, animals and plants fell into the catastrophe. 】

[The flood inundated the highest mountain, and all the creatures on the land died, and only Noah's family and the life in the ark survived. 】

Just as he was thinking back to the chapter where the catastrophe that fell from the sky and only the life on the ark survived, he suddenly spotted a certain force not far away, and while the other warships were holding a certain distance to block the airport, they were the only ones approaching towards the satellite.

He zoomed in to see that it was the Marine Corps led by Sima and the MS of the Marine Corps escorting a large number of transport boats with large gas storage tanks for transporting gas in the direction of the satellite.

What do they do with that kind of transport? Lear couldn't help but wonder.

But he didn't particularly care.

Just rubbed shoulders with those transports.
