"But we don't have a chance of winning at all," said Old Hans, smoking a sullen cigarette, "SIDE3's industrial strength is no worse than that of the earth, but our resources can't support our consumption." ”

"As soon as the war starts, the Federation's fleet will block all shipping lanes and trap us here."

"No, the Federation won't do that kind of thing, they will attack SIDE3 directly," Lear shook his head and said, "Blocking the shipping lanes can force us down, but the Federation will not use this kind of tactics like cowardice, they want to deter other neutral sides who are wavering, and they also have to conform to the will of the people, and it is impossible to prolong the war." ”

"If the war is too long, the high military spending alone will bring down the federal government, and they already have the advantage of combat power, so Rebiel will not let SIDE3 exist for a long time after unilaterally declaring independence."

"That would have emboldened the rest of the SIDE independents and made them think, 'It's just bad luck this time, and even so, hasn't SIDE3 held out for so long,' and Rebir is not just a general, he's also a politician, and he won't let this danger exist."

"Including Zeon's side, too, if the Federation chooses the blockade tactic, the Zabi faction will lose the support of the people in an increasingly difficult life, and the strongest moment of battle on Zeon's side is at the moment of the war, so even if the Federation chooses to blockade SIDE3, Zeon will take the initiative to seek a strategic decisive battle, such as attacking Granada or Luna 2, forcing the Federation fleet to attack or something."

"And then wiped out by the Federation fleet? Twenty years of efforts to build up the army were ruined? "Zionnick is a manufacturer of military equipment, and Hans Sr. has been involved in the construction of the Zeon army since the days of the Autonomous Republic, and he is a little moved to think that this army may be destroyed by the Zabi family.

"No, there is hope of victory over the Federation." Lear said.

"What? Ah, you're talking about those 'iron men' produced by our company? Old Hans shook his head: "I don't know much about military affairs, although the army seems to be full of confidence in it, but is that kind of thing really useful?" ”

"I'm not talking about MS, whether MS is useful or not, when the state pins its hopes of war on a new weapon, the war is already half lost, I'm talking about politics," Lear said, "It's impossible for us to conquer the Earth, and invading the Earth means a never-ending war for law and order with the 2 billion people on the planet, and the best outcome of the war is to force the Federation to the negotiating table with a decisive victory at the beginning of the war." ”

"Hope in the outcome of a battle?" Old Hans said with a frown.

"Yes, we can only try our best to fight this battle, this is the sorrow of a weak country."

"But this is only the beginning of the war, and after a phased victory, we must have the support of other SIDES."

"Each SIDE, except for SIDE2 and SIDE5, which are firmly on the side of the Federation because of their close relationship with the Federation, the other SIDES are now in a state of vacillation, if we win the Federation, they will be aware of the weak nature of the Federation, and at this time, as long as we support their independence, or form a colonial satellite alliance to win them over, the strength of our side and the Federation will have a fundamental reversal, Productivity and resources will be overwhelmingly advantaged by a factor of 10. ”

"The war will change from 'SIDE3 war against the Federation' to 'the division of each SIDE against the Federation', and the dominance of human power will shift from the ground to the sky, and this is the only way for us to win."

"Although this result is not as good as the concerted efforts of both sides to develop space, it is much better for human beings to continue to advance into space led by the cosmic colonies than to be led by the earth and human beings to be confined to the earth circle by capital."

In the final analysis, the fundamental reason why the Federation changed its policy towards space colonies is also that the stagnation of the development of space technology has led to the fact that the development of resources has reached the limit of existing technology before mankind has even stepped out of the solar system.

With a profit of three hundred percent, the capitalists will even sell the ropes on which they hanged themselves. This is a famous quote that also appears in this world.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces. In this sentence, the world has not yet appeared.

The words of the great men do not deceive me, Lear sighed in his heart, this is also the fundamental reason why he does not believe in Daken, Zabi or the Federation at all, he has already believed in another way.

Firmly believe.

He cheered up his spirit and said: "In fact, a self-sufficient and self-evolving market has long been formed between each SIDE, after all, compared to the earth's 2 billion people, each SIDE has a total of 8 billion people, and the decline of the earth's position in production and consumption is also one of the reasons why the Earth Capital Group has to adopt off-market rules." ”

Old Hans snuffed out the butt of his cigarette and frowned, he was not highly educated, nor did he have the rigorous logic that Lear had received from his previous life, the biggest plug-in that did not exist in this world, the materialist dialectic education, but he was a nimble-minded, weather-beaten man who had not stopped learning until now, and he certainly knew that Lear's logic was impeccable, at least not that he had picked it out.

After a moment, he said to Lear, "Lear, you should retire as soon as possible, since it is certain that war is going to break out。。。。。。 You're my only son, and I don't want to see you die because of the ambitions of the Zabi family. ”

"Daddy," Lear said with a wry smile, "Do you really think that at a moment like this, as soon as I submit my retirement application, the Zabi family will say, 'Okay, then you retire?'" No way, if I dare to do this, I will immediately be shot as a typical example of cowardice. ”

"I thought about it," said old Hans, lighting another cigarette: "Before, representatives of the industrial sector。。。。。。 In fact, it was the Zabi family who came to me and asked me to support the nationalization of Zionnik and ask me to sell all the shares of Zionnick to the state, but I refused at that time. ”

"Well, now, I'll go and tell Deggin, after all, I have been a comrade for many years, and he will still sell me this little face," he said sullenly, not knowing whether he was depressed or with smoke in his mouth: "I will sell him all the shares in exchange for them to let you retire." ”

“。。。。。。” Lear was moved beyond measure, of course he understood how deep his affection for Zeonnick and old Hans was, and he still remembered that when he was very young, Old Hans let him ride his neck, and then proudly introduced him to the scene of Zeonnick, which was the proof of his life's struggle, and it was precisely because of this that Old Hans became the backbone of the opposition to the nationalization of Zionnik, not simply because of his status as a Dykenist, if he gave in to the Zabi family, it was not just the crystallization of his life's struggle, He will be regarded as a traitor by the remnants of the Daken faction and his old friends.

And for his own sake, he still made this decision without hesitation, although he had long regarded him as a father (biological in blood), Lear still couldn't help but be moved.

But.......

Lear smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, do you really think that by doing this, the Zabi family will keep their promise?" ”

"They promised to take care of Casper."

Caspar Som Dyken and Alasia Somme Dyken are the widows of Dyken, and Lear had seen them when he was very young, but it was so long ago that he couldn't remember what they looked like.

After the death of Zeon Zim Dyken, Deggin Sodo Zabi, who inherited his political position, publicly promised to take care of them, but the result was 。。。。。。

After that, Lear never saw them again.

"If you give in, it means that there will be no more obstacles to the Zabi family's idea of integrating Zionnick, and you diehards will become a thorn in their side to completely control Zionnick, and the Zabi family's method of treating the thorns has always been physically eliminated, eliminating a Daken patriarch, and eliminating a powerless old man, that difficult dad you also know."

"If you don't retreat, in order to keep your nail embedded in the Zeon military industry, Prime Minister Darcia will do whatever it takes, and if you retreat, you are a traitor and have no use value, you will be abandoned by the Daken faction."

"Just like they did when they abandoned Jimba Lal." Lear added.

"That's 。。。。。。" Old Hans was a little melancholy, the original comrades had completely changed their appearance.

Deggin, Dalcia, Roger Lucia。。。。。。 There's also Zeon Dyken, dead and completely changed, Deggin wasn't a radical in the past, Darcia wasn't a submissive person, and Roger Lucia was an unimaginable beauty who was now a dry old orange peel.

We're all old, and he's looking at his proud son, Lear is a treasure far more important to him than Gionnick, and now he's probably going to see him die.

Intense grief overwhelmed the old man.

Looking at Old Hans's sad expression, Lear smiled and said, "It's okay, Dad, it's not like I'm going to die on the battlefield, I think my luck is still good, maybe I'll make countless contributions." ”

"Besides, I'm not completely forced to go to war, I'm better on the side of the initiative," Lear said, "While I'm against the Zabis, I'm not against using war to make the Confederacy idiots who are dragging humanity back and confining us to the Earth's sphere sober up and let them know that it's not 30 years ago, and that all the dregs that hinder human progress will be swept into the dustbin of history." ”

"Actually, I'm very worried, if the Federation wins the Zeon easily, won't they be even more inflated and treat each SIDE as their plaything?"

"I don't think it's going to be better than a Zeon victory."

"Anti-Zabi is for the sake of human progress, anti-federal, and for the progress of mankind, as a father, shouldn't you support your son's ideals?" He said with a smile, and did not use the word dream.

"Since you say so。。。。。。" Old Hans sighed and said, "You must protect yourself, Lear. ”

"Of course, I'm not married yet, so I don't want to die so early." Lear said casually.

Who knows, after hearing this, old Hans suddenly came to his senses.

I saw him nod with satisfaction: "Are you married?" It's good that you have this idea, although I asked Maggie to convey it to you, but I thought you would strongly refuse. ”

"Huh?" Lear suddenly felt as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, but now it was too late to regret it.

"I happen to be preparing for this, too." Old Hans said, then pulled three papers from the table, from which Lear felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"Lear, you go on a blind date!"

It's a hardcore war opera, not a romance novel, right?

Lear felt the smell of the work collapsing.
