Interlude: The Eve of the Battle (1)

"We will never continue to kill for Zeon!" An almost angry roar came from the communicator.

"Zeon actually did such an unforgivable thing," the man's eyes almost popped out, the bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible, and the whole person was like a lit dynamite: "Zabi's family, Zeon, they all have to pay!" ”

"We're going to join the Federation and fight Zeon, that's what we're supposed to do," he said word by word with red eyes, "What else are we having here to discuss what's next?" Do we have any other choice but to fight Zeon? ”

"Hey, Akfar!" Before Lear could speak, someone who seemed to know the man named Akfar rebuked, "I know you're sad, but don't let your personal vendetta affect the judgment of the meeting。。。。。。 ”

"Personal vendettas!?" Akfar slammed his slam on the table, and he spoke hoarsely, the pronunciation of the words out of tune: "You say this is my personal vendetta? ”

"I saw my homeland destroyed by Zeon, and I watched as the island of Ishfi fell, and more than a billion people died, all of them my countrymen, and when they died, I didn't protect them, on the contrary, I was an accomplice under that mongrel of Dozru," he was almost speechless, and his whole body showed an expression of extreme pain: "You actually say that this is my personal vendetta? ”

"Take back your words for me, Jack!"

"I don't take it back, because I'm not wrong," said the man named Jack only quietly, "and you are indeed being affected by personal vendetta right now. ”

"Listen, I know that her death is unacceptable to you, but that's why you have to stay calm at this time, blind action will only make you die in vain, and she won't want to see you so irrational。。。。。。"

"You know something! Don't make a lot of nonsense out there! ”

"Of course I know," continued Jack, "not just you, but all of you, who hasn't seen that hell, don't think you're the only one sad!" ”

As he spoke, everyone noticed that he was not as calm as he looked, his hands clenched into fists, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

The atmosphere of the meeting was unusually heavy, but it was also a matter of course, because the meeting was about nothing else but the next step in the Philosophical Society.

This is also the answer that the participants are desperate to get from Lear, what should they do?

After Zeon did such a thing to the other SIDE, and the members of the Philosophical Society involuntarily became accomplices, all the members of the Philosophical Society fell into extreme demoralization, and everyone rejected from the bottom of their hearts to continue to participate in the war in the name of the Zeon Army, but they didn't know what they could do after quitting the Zeon Army, and they also understood that on the eve of the war with the Federation, they could not be easily discharged, and they might be executed in front of the battle to deter the whole army.

But if you don't leave the army, you will inevitably commit another crime at SIDE5.

They are at a loss, some feel that they should leave Zeon, others feel that now is not a good time to leave Zeon, and we must wait for a better opportunity.

The argument is a different manifestation of these two thinking, and the two people who spoke to ask for secession from Zeon and even join the Federation to fight Zeon are named Akfar Luo Mitafa, a member of the philosophical society from SIDE2 and affiliated with the Cosmic Attack Army.

He personally participated in the destruction of his hometown, and both his parents and lovers died tragically in the British war.

The man who spoke out against it was named Jack Kennedy, who, despite having the surname of Kennedy, a famous American politician family in the Western era, was a poor boy from the slums of Mahar. (Note 1)

Although he spoke out against Akfar's words, it did not mean that their relationship was bad, on the contrary, the two had been friends since their military school days, and even this meeting, the two of them attended in front of the same communicator.

"Really? Jack, are you really sad? Akfar, however, was not ready to stop, he sneered at Jack and said harsh words in his mouth.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ What do you want to say? Jack Kennedy said coldly, squinting at his friend.

"It's nothing, I just want to say that the/person who gassed my hometown is your compatriot," Akfar showed a look of regret for a moment, but still stubbornly said, "Isn't that Sima Karahau the guy you admire?" ”

"Shouldn't you be cheering for your idol's promotion。。。。。。"

"Bang!!" Only the sound of hitting the flesh sounded, and Akfal was knocked to the ground by Jack's punch, his eyes were full of stars, but his good fighting skills still made him quickly stand up, and then roared and pounced on Jack.

"Stop it!!" A roar like thunder sounded, and the two people who were startled by the sound couldn't help but stop.

They subconsciously looked at it, but found that the person who spoke was Lear, although he did not show an angry expression, but his cold gaze still made everyone understand that this person who had never shown anger to his comrades was really angry.

"Our meeting, is it no longer a reason, but a fist to communicate?" Lear said, staring at the two.

A moment later, under his gaze, the two sat down in a daze, looking depressed and depressed.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Sorry, I was impulsive. Jack was the first to speak, bowing his head to Akfar and apologizing.

"No, it's my fault, I don't have to say anything," Akfar replied, "I beg your pardon." ”

"You know," Lear began, "but mistakes cannot go unpunished, Disciplinary Commissioner, and the two of them obstructed the proceedings because of their quarrels, and remember to enforce discipline afterwards." ”

"Okay, Comrade Secretary, this is my duty." The comrade who served as the disciplinary committee nodded and said.

"Let's continue to have meetings, or, remember discipline," Lear warned, "If you want to speak, apply to the organizing committee, we have a lot to discuss today, and time is very tight, so don't waste time." ”

"Let's get started." After speaking, he nodded to the organizing committee.

"The first item on the agenda is a report on the losses of the crews of the groups in previous battles." The organizing committee said.

The members of the Philosophical Self-Study Society are all soldiers, and most of them are on active duty, and in the previous battles, all of them have participated in the war, and according to statistics, it is very fortunate that no comrades have lost their lives so far.

This is also related to the advantage of the Zeon side in the early battle, except for the British battle and the pursuit of the Fourth Fleet, which can be regarded as a battle with each other, the rest can only be regarded as armed parades.

The absence of casualties among the teams eased the mood of the meeting a little.

"Then that's the end of the report of casualties," the organizing committee member said after a pause, "the next item is Secretary Alkerstein's proposal." ”

"A proposal for the establishment of an intelligence unit under the Philosophical Society."

"Intelligence?"

"Is this necessary?"

After hearing this proposal, the comrades present at the meeting began to discuss one after another, and they had an instinctive rejection of the word intelligence department, not because they did not know the importance of intelligence services, but because of people's natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"Of course there is a need, and it has to be done, and I think this should be the most important thing for our organization in the coming period," Lear said. ”

"The previous intelligence sources relied too much on the channels of individual people in our organization, and there were no special people to collect, sort, and analyze," he said, crossing his hands: "Just like this incident, Zeon's battle plan, we should have been able to learn in advance, but we, including me, only relied on our own conjecture to judge Zeon's battle plan before the war, and there was no intelligence to support it." ”

"This is my negligence, as I said earlier, I relied too much on the power of my family, so that I let my guard down and gave up further understanding without receiving relevant information."

"If we had known about the British battle before Zeon attacked, perhaps we could have done something to save at least some of the people."

Speaking of the British War and the subsequent purge operation, everyone's mood was a little low, they are not stupid, nor will they put the responsibility on others to make themselves feel at ease, naturally understand that Lear is actually taking the responsibility on himself, if Lear is leading in a way, did not fulfill the responsibility as a leader, then they naturally have dereliction of duty, did not fulfill the responsibility of reminding, in an organization, never said that a certain problem is just a person's responsibility, if this thing goes wrong, It must be the responsibility of all those involved with it.

"So I think it is necessary to start the construction of the intelligence system as soon as possible, and the person in charge of this department 。。。。。。" Lear pondered for a moment, there are too few people in the Philosophical Society, and there are really not many people who can use them: "I recommend Comrade Rock Hennison. ”

The reason is very simple, he still has this ability, and he is not a Zeon soldier, so he can move freely.

"Henison?" Zhang Zhongjian, who is more familiar with Locke, said: "Didn't he be asked to be in charge of the preliminary preparations of the Social Workers Party at the last meeting, and now he is to be put in charge of intelligence work?" ”

"Let him withdraw his hand from the side of the Social Workers, anyway, he has not had time to start work yet, and the affairs of the Social Workers Party will be taken over by someone else, and now the affairs of the intelligence system are the top priority."

"In that case。。。。。。。 I have no opinion. Zhang Zhongjian nodded and said, he was only worried about whether Henison would be able to undertake two jobs at the same time, and since Lear said that he would let go of the work of the Social Workers, he naturally had nothing to say.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The comrades began to express their positions, but just halfway through the vote, Reinstein, who had not spoken, suddenly asked: "Comrade Secretary, I have a question that I would like to confirm in advance. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Is this intelligence organization internal or external?" Ryanstein asked a sharp question, which caused several people to frown, but others nodded in agreement.

"I'm not against this proposal, on the contrary, I agree with the need for an intelligence system," Reinstein said, "but if this organization has an internal mission, it may cause panic among comrades and make them feel that they are not trusted by the organization, so I think this issue needs to be clarified in advance." ”

Whether it is internal or external, it is really a sharp question, and a bad answer will create a rift in the trust of comrades, and Reinstein stares at Lear, waiting for his answer.

"At present, the main purpose of this intelligence organization is to collect things from both Zeon and the Federation to provide intelligence support for our operations."

After he finished speaking, he saw that someone seemed to be relieved, not that this person was treacherous, but just human nature.

Subsequently, Lear immediately added: "However, this does not mean that this intelligence organization is only external, and it is normal for it to be understaffed when it is first established, and it can temporarily dismiss internal intelligence as the focus, but internal intelligence work must be carried out simultaneously." ”

He looked at the unhappy comrades and said: "This is not to say that we do not trust everyone, but that our organization will eventually expand, and it will be difficult to unify the minds of many people, and if we become stronger in the future, Zeon and federal agents will also begin to infiltrate our organization and try to sabotage it internally. ”

"This department is only responsible for counter-espionage, and absolutely does not have the power to deal with comrades, and the only person who can decide on the punishment of comrades is still the disciplinary inspection committee composed of the disciplinary committee of each group, and this will not change."

In the face of the comrades' concerns, Lear did not be vague or say one thing and do another, but frankly laid out the necessity and urgency of the establishment of this department.

In this way, the people naturally had nothing to say, and they were persuaded by Lear to vote in favor of it, and the intelligence organization of the Philosophical Society was thus established.

This organization exists as a direct committee of the writing group, called the Special Operations Management Committee, chaired by Rock Hennison, and has two departments, one is the 'Special Operations Section' responsible for intelligence gathering work externally, and the members are composed of non-active military personnel, while the other is the 'Political Security Section' responsible for internal security work, which is directly appointed by the writing group and appoints people in each study group.

Originally, there were not many members of the Philosophy Society, but once this department was formed, more than a dozen people were occupied, and the problem of insufficient manpower became an imminent problem.

There's just so much to do.
