Earth, the General Headquarters of the Federal Army, the Chabro base in South America, the flagship of the Second Fleet of the Federal Space Force (E.F.S.F) 'Anak' (also translated as Ananacken, but the name of this battleship comes from the goddess of necessity in Greek mythology, and the main domestic translation of this goddess is Anak) battleship

The Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Space Force, John Abraham Rebil, was eating his dinner slowly, perhaps because of the old man's low digestive function, and he frowned before putting down his knife.

This white-bearded old man, who until recently the author would have confused with Mr. Okita, the captain of a certain Yamato, does not look like a famous general who has single-handedly established the Federal Space Force from scratch and completely suppressed the Federal Ground Force (E.F.G.F, Army Red Deer) and various SIDE, but more like an indigestion old man next door.

The kind that sleeps in the shade of a tree every day, and wakes up with a cup of tea and a game of chess.

Sitting across from him was his confidant, old classmate, old friend, Commodore of the Federal Space Force, Captain of the battleship 'Nedre' Rodney Kaninggan.

Brigadier General Kaninga's face flushed with rage, and he looked at a report in his hand, his fingers almost breaking the paper.

"Shameless villain!" Kaningan slapped the table hard, and some of the soup on the plate in front of Rybil spilled out, staining Rybill's napkin a few bits.

"I'm eating, Rod, calm down." As he spoke, Raybile took a sip of red wine, as if he had not taken the assassination that was about to shock the world to heart.

That's right, this report is the report about Ethan Leia's collusion with the Agricultural Association to assassinate the federal negotiator, and Ethan Leia would never have imagined that as soon as he negotiated terms with someone on the front foot, all his actions on the back foot would be reported to Rebil.

Rybil looks like an inconspicuous good old man who can pretend to be Santa Claus at Christmas, and his appearance is always difficult to associate with his other identity.

The founder of the Federal Space Force, the commander-in-chief of the Federal Space Fleet, all his achievements were not given to him by others, but by his hard work.

Although he was completely loyal to the Union, he did not averse to the use of means.

He forced the Federal Assembly to approve funding for him to build a space fleet.

He suppressed the ground forces in the federal army, which had no practical value, and ensured that the self-army could get the bulk of the funds.

He suppressed the independence movement in the colonies and executed revolutionaries.

He forced the Confederation's member states to surrender their armies, providing a guarantee of force that made the Confederation truly a government, not a geopolitical club.

He squeezed out officers who he considered unqualified, and promoted his own confidants and comrades-in-arms.

He said nothing in the Federal Space Army, all the generals who resisted him were marginalized, he was a dictator more than a dictator, and the Federal Space Army was completely the embodiment of his army building ideas.

This is John Abraham Rebil, one of the most brilliant statesmen and military strategists of the universe, probably not even one of them, who would suffer greatly if he were to be regarded as a mere general, the kind of brilliant man who could control politics without being confused and distracted by it.

Everything he did was for the Union.

But to the people of the universe, he is the existence of the Great Demon King of Guandi.

Ethan Leia is too naïve to want to make some small moves in front of the Great Demon King, of course, Rebir's tentacles have not fully extended to every corner of the Federal Army, but in the moon negotiations that he is paying close attention to, there is almost nothing that can hide from his eyes.

"John? How can you still be so indifferent? Kaningan was puzzled: "These people want to sabotage the peace talks for their own selfish interests!" ”

"Rod," Rybil laughed, looking like a good-natured old man, "and what do you think I should do?" ”

"Of course, hurry up and 。。。。。。 this traitor"

"Arrested? Judge him? Leaving our internal discord exposed? Rybil said with a smile.

"There's no need for that," he said, putting down his glass, "and of course I'm going to liquidate them for putting their personal interests above federal interests, but not now." ”

"This is a critical period of war, I want to keep morale and armaments high, so I will not take this risk because of such a third-rate small role, the Federation Army must appear in front of everyone as a united and united person, so that those independents can be jealous," he looked at Kaningan and said, "We can't afford to risk going to war with all the SIDES, and until we defeat Zeon, we must keep them neutral, if not if we can't win them." ”

It's too much to say that a third-rate small role, although Ethan Leia is like that, he is also the boss of the 08MS team.

"In this way, as long as Zeon, the rising bird, falls, they will not dare to challenge the majesty of the Federation again for at least thirty years."

"Thirty years won, you know what we're going to do, Rod."

"Ah, I see, this is our common ideal at the military academy," Kaningan said, "to strengthen the Union Army and the Federal Parliament, to eliminate national borders on the planet, to outlaw the autonomy of governments and satellites." ”

"Let humanity be reunited, this time truly unified." Rebiel said quietly.

The hearts of the two old men in their sixties welled up with blood, just as they had sworn to each other back then.

"Along the way, our ideals have reached the most critical juncture," said Rebier, tearing off his napkin: "The unfulfilled ideals of Prime Minister Massenas and many pioneers will be realized in our hands." ”

President Massenas refers to the first generation of Federal Prime Minister Ricardo Massenas, an outstanding politician who personally opened the door to the universe, and it is precisely because of his joint efforts and his comrades that the United Nations, which was originally just a geopolitical club, has evolved into a political entity - the Earth Federation, and with their efforts, the Federation is moving towards the road of abolishing the concept of nation-state, and if it continues on this path, perhaps the Federation will truly become a unified country, There will be no war between the cosmic colonies and the earth, there will definitely be many problems, but maybe it will be better than today's situation.

But this path was interrupted by a terrorist attack, and the Confederation, deprived of the political elite of Ricardo Marcenas and his comrades, was unable to cope with the counterattack of the member states, and finally in the midst of compromise the Confederation became what it is now, with the autonomy of all countries and colonies, and the Parliament, the central government, and the local governments falling into each other's ways, which finally bore the consequences of today's evil.

But Massenas's ideals did not stop, and years later, Rebier and his comrades continued to work towards that goal.

Although some people believe that Zeon may go to war against the Federation is entirely the responsibility of the Zabi family, but Rabier does not think so, the Zabi family is just a representative, and today's war may have been doomed after the attack 79 years ago, no, 78 years and 11 months and 30 days ago, although the attack was later recognized as a terrorist attack, but its truth cannot be concealed from the discerning people.

Zabi, no, Dyken pursues cosmic independence, while Rabier pursues human unity.

Two people of the same generation, seeing the same scene, have completely different wills.

Two incompatible wills will come into conflict, and it is not clear which of their respective ideals is better for humanity.

"Besides, even if I stop this operation, they will plan more actions, even if they fail to launch it in the end, the negotiations will go on normally, and the Federation and Zeon, who have far away from the bottom line, will not be able to reach a consensus," Rebile said coldly: "It is impossible to successfully negotiate in the first place, so why should I waste manpower to interfere." ”

"So I'm not going to stop the moths from what they want to do, even though it's different from their fundamental purpose, I also think we have to fight Zeon," Rebiel stood up and looked through the porthole of the battleship into Chabro, "Our ultimate goal is to complete the Federation, no, the physical unification of mankind, and for this purpose, it is inevitable that we will not tolerate the existence of the armies and autonomy of the colonies after the war." ”

"Just take advantage of the fact that the colonial army has not yet fully formed the climate, and break their backbones in one breath!"

"I admit that the people of the colonies have been wronged, but this is not an excuse for them to use force against the Federation, and when our ideals are completed, the nascent federal government will naturally compensate them, but now!"

"They have to pay!"

"In front of the Federation fleet we forged, Zeon's small fleet is like a mantis arm as a car, vulnerable to attack!"

"So we have to deal a heavy hand, and with one blow, all the independents will lose the will to fight."

It was as if there was a flame burning in Reybier's eyes, burning with the will to send millions of people to battle.

This may be the reason why he and Daken are able to surpass Deggin.
