Lear's father was a slightly chubby old man,

Lear didn't like to call him father or dad since he was a child, perhaps because of some shy feelings in him, so he always called him dad disrespectfully.

Daddy's name is Hans, Hans Alxstein, you know by the name that he is not a descendant of an aristocracy, he immigrated from SIDE1 with excessive population pressure and withering to the satellite commune workers of SIDE3 when he was young, and he was the one who participated in the construction of SIDE3, and when SIDE3 was roughly established, he also retired from the colonial satellite commune, and then joined a small company that was unknown at the time, and then became one of the majority shareholders of that company.

The name of the company was SIDE3 Heavy Industrial Equipment Development & Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and after the ownership reform, it was renamed Gionnick.

By the time Lear went to study at the military academy, Alxstein had become the premier military industrial tycoon in the Earth Sphere.

At the same time, he was also the first group of people to be moved by the ideals of Zeon Zim Dyken and give support, after Dyken's death, although he began to gradually let go of the company's affairs, away from the political arena and pretending to be a bad old man without ideals, but it seems that it has no effect, as long as he still holds one-third of the shares of Zeonnick, the Zabi family will not ignore his existence, and the Dyken faction will do whatever it takes to keep him.

A legendary old man in every sense.

"I'm back." This greeting made his heart feel a little emotional, and he pulled out his chair and sat down in front of his father, who pretended to be reading the newspaper.

Old Hans did not react, he buried his face behind the newspaper, and pretended to be addicted to the fourth edition of the lace news.

On the front of the newspaper was an oversized one: 'The Federation's flagrant rejection of Zeon's legitimate demand for independence is the greatest injustice in the history of the universe', he looked at the time, three days ago.

What to pretend, old fellow.

Lear smiled, then slammed the table, "Bang!! ”

The loud noise startled all the gardeners in the yard, not to mention the old Hans who faced the voice, and saw that he was so excited that everyone was about to jump from their chairs.

He sat up straight, a little embarrassed, and then pretended to continue reading the newspaper and said, "Hmm。。。。。。 Lear, you're back, look at you, you're having a great time in the military. ”

The old guy is angry with himself, Lear is a little crying and laughing, this old man is getting smaller and smaller.

Hans Sr. had supported Lear's entry into the army in the past, as the old man saw it as an act of rebellion against the Federation and the defense of SIDE3's homeland.

But since the beginning of this year (0078), the production of military equipment and warships has been getting faster and faster, and the number of conscripts has been increasing, and then there was an incident in which the internal affairs forces controlled by the Zabi family stormed the parliament and wanted to reorganize the Zeon Defense Force into the Space Force, he has been asking Lear to retire.

His son can't shed blood for the Zabi family of idiots.

This culminated a week earlier, when Zeon had made his intentions clear and began a full-scale mobilization, and brutally suppressed Quinnzem's neutral counter-conscription.

He sent out a series of letters, the wording became more and more intense, and finally even went so far as to ask Maggie to go to the barracks of colonial satellite 19 'Bavaria' to block the door, Maggie faithfully fulfilled Hans's request, and created countless topics for the nervous colleagues of the teaching brigade, such as 'Alkerstein has been in turmoil, and the resentful woman has asked for child support with her premature child'.

Just because it soothed the nerves of the fighters, the Zabi family should award him a one-ton medal regardless of his previous suspicions.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, the father and son fell silent, Lear was a little crying and laughing, and old Hans was not willing to glance at Lear.

"Your newspaper is down." Lear said coldly.

"Huh?" Old Hans looked down in surprise, of course, he found that there was no such thing, but he couldn't pretend it anymore, so he had no choice but to put down the newspaper he hadn't read at all.

Lear picked up the teapot, filled old Hans's cup, and poured himself another one.

Hans, who was obviously a German and preferred black tea to coffee or beer, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the aroma of black tea suddenly filled the room.

Half a day later, Lear smiled and said, "Deflated? ”

"Hmph." Old Hans turned his head away and said nothing.

Lear sighed inwardly, sometimes he has to coax parents with the attitude of coaxing children, which is also his experience.

"Okay, I apologize, but there's no way around it, I'm a soldier, and if I leave my post without permission in this situation, I will be shot."

"So, I asked you to leave the army quickly at the beginning of the year, why haven't you moved?" Old Hans slapped the table and said, "Do you want to die for the Zabi family?" ”

"You know I don't mean that, so you don't have to use your bluff in the mall to talk to your own son." Lear said with a smile in his eyes.

"Who knows if you will believe the 。。。。。。 of the Zabi family" Old Hans muttered, "God knows what you learned in the military academy, so I strongly opposed it when Kilian was going to make his younger brother the head of the military academy, but now it's a good thing, a bunch of ignorant young people have all become his students." ”

"Beat and beat, and know to fight, and take that set of nonsense from Gilian as the Bible."

"I warn you, Lear, I know you didn't believe in Lord Daken's theories since you were a child, but if you go over to the side of the Zabites, I'll cut ties with you!"

"Well, well, I'm not going to do that," Lear reassured, "I should believe in the theory of Lord Daken rather than the Zabites." ”

Although he was unhappy with the disdain for Zeon Zim Dyken's theories hidden in Lear's words, old Hans was used to it, and he had long since given up the idea of preaching cosmic independence to Lear, and he glared at Lear: "It's better not to." ”

"Don't mention this, I'm coming back to give you a wake-up call," Lear put down his teaglass: "Recently, if those old antiques want to make any small moves to pull Daddy into you, just refuse it." ”

"Although you have always been more sober Daddy, but you are too emotional, if your old friends pull down their faces and beg you, maybe you will have to agree."

“。。。。。。” Old Hans was silent for a moment and then said, "Lear, in your opinion, this war is doomed?" ”

"Ahh ”

"Bang!" Old Hans knocked heavily on the table, and he said with a pale face, "Gileen! I knew that we should have gotten rid of him at all costs, and see what kind of virtue he had made a good country! ”

"Alright, calm down, Daddy," Lear reassured, "it's not all Kilian's responsibility, he's at best fueling the flames, and even without him, without the Zabites, this war would still break out, and even if it doesn't break out now, it will break out in the future." ”

"What nonsense, if His Excellency Daken were still alive, this kind of thing would never have happened!"

"Daddy。。。。。。" In the eyes of old Hans, the image of the Father of the Zeon Nation was too majestic, and Lear said with a smile: "Your Excellency Daken in your mouth is the first person to advocate the independence of the colonies, and the SIDE3 semi-independent person who threatened it with military means." ”

"That's expediency! If the current reign was His Excellency Daken, he would have started a war with negotiations instead of actually starting a war! ”

"Well," Lear didn't want to say anything about Daken, it was an act of destroying family harmony, and he wasn't stupid enough to do that: "Now that Your Excellency Daken is gone, no one can stop the war." ”

"The essence of this war has nothing to do with freedom, independence or anything, it's just that Earth Capital wants to restrict the cosmic capital interest groups that are getting out of control day by day, and the cosmic capital interest groups are not to be outdone to fight back, that's all, after all, any war that is divorced from economic factors is a farce, and Killian, although sometimes has abnormal brain circuits, is not a comedian."

"SIDE3, or all the satellite colonists, harbor a fear, a fear of the Federation's Earth-based thinking."

"They are in the universe that cannot reach the world and the earth, and they can only be slaughtered by the federal government, and the capital interest groups that have developed in this environment have also been restrained by the earth capital groups, and this dissatisfaction is the initial beginning."

"This is the beginning, and of course you know very well the pain of having to concede profits to the companies of the planet under the unequal policy."

“。。。。。。” Old Hans lit a cigarette and remained silent.

Lear snatched the cigarette and snuffed it out, then ignored the anger of old Hans and continued: "The air tax, the SIDE5, the earth-centered secondary tariff, at first it was just the capital group, and then after the cosmic capital group passed on the losses to the general public, dissatisfaction gradually became a trend, and then more and more people joined in, and ideas were formed, and finally a system was formed here with His Excellency Daken. Fortunately, old Hans was also a commoner, so he would not be dissatisfied with Lear's sarcastic words.

Human beings built colonized satellites to open up the universe, but these people began to rebel against the home planet in pursuit of independence and freedom, which is simply a stupid person who puts the cart before the horse, he thought very disrespectfully.

"But the federal side is not much better, the capital group only cares about its own interests, the government is addicted to populism, succumbs to the obscene authority of the capital group to change its policy towards the space colony, and begins to collect heavy taxes in order to protect the interests of the earth capital group, and it is also a group of fools who have forgotten that the development of the universe is the fundamental purpose of building colonial satellites, considering that they are the initiators of colonial independence, it is not an exaggeration to call them big fools."

"This is what happens when the country is kidnapped by a few interest groups, and as long as either side is still in this state, it is only a matter of time before this war breaks out."

"After all, human beings are creatures that will have conflicts as long as there are two people, and the biggest failure of the Earth Federation is to change the policy of encouraging space development, forcing the colonies to produce local governments that represent their own interests, and then succumbing to the confrontation and giving the local governments too much power, making them independent."

"It's useless to talk about this now, Zeon wants to go to war, and the Federation may not want to go to war." Lear let out a long sigh.

"The dissatisfaction of the various SIDES with the Federation is growing day by day, and the economy of the Federation has not been able to do well in the past two years, and the result of excessive suppression of the colonial industry is that the earth's own industry has not and has not obtained the expected advantages, and the Federation side also urgently needs something that can redeem the defeat and reputation and divert the attention of the people."

"Bringing down a SIDE separatist government is undoubtedly a very practical option."

"If the Federation really wants to avoid war through negotiations, the Federation will not put forward the nonsense of re-stationing SIDE3, nor will it refuse to negotiate on the tariff issue, and if the Federation is unwilling to change their policy of clamping down on the development of the cosmic colonies and work towards reunification, even if there is no war this time, it will still be fought in the future."

“。。。。。。。” Old Hans was silent, and he lit another cigarette, and this time, Lear didn't stop him.

"So, we'll just have to watch as Gilian drags Zeon into the abyss?"

"Yes, the 'people' demand war, and if we disagree, we will be branded heretical."

"We don't have a choice."
