It is said that warriors develop feelings for their weapons.

Just like a samurai would do with his own saber.

Infantry treats their own rifles.

Seafarers treat their own warships.

Martial artists treat their hands and feet.

The reason for this is that whether it is a saber or a rifle, it is the embodiment of the soldier's ability to protect his life, to earn a living, and even to place his faith in it.

In this way, the importance must not be lost, the desire to protect, until love, such a logical, clear and reasonable logical change is completed.

Lear thought about it, but he didn't feel like he had any feelings for Thunderlight, neither putting it above his own life like a fanatic, nor treating him as a beast like a teenager.

This is just a tool, and in order to achieve certain purposes, the tools constructed by human beings using the accumulation of experience are essentially no different from the stone tools of the Stone Age.

It is said that the ultimate expression of a warrior who has developed feelings for his weapon is that he treats it as a living creature that 'exists', and even has feelings similar to that of a love affair with the weapon, and even fantasizes about having a conversation with the weapon.

Lear tried to imagine a lover of a sword, a sword, a warship, an airplane, a tank, a firearm, or anything else.

Can't think of it at all.

Then he imagined himself muttering to the thunder every day, letting it respond to him, and the sight made him shudder.

Absolutely weird, guy like that.

As always, the man habitually thinks about things that don't make sense before fighting.

Especially today, he needs to distract himself in this form even more.

A man who has started to be irritable because of a broken love, Lear understands that this is really very embarrassing, but even if some things can be analyzed rationally, it can't stop the impulse from instinct, he understands that he should calm down at this moment, but in the end he can only distract himself in this way.

He turned around and made a casual appearance as usual, with a confident smile on his face, and he even played a little more than usual, so that the whole person seemed more energetic than usual, as if he was already full of confidence in victory, and when he saw his commander like this, he couldn't help but be demoralized.

As long as Aina senses that something is wrong with Lear's state.

But she couldn't say anything at the moment.

Holding his helmet in one hand, Lear said to his subordinates, "Guys, I've said enough to say, so I'm not going to talk nonsense here." ”

"We attack, and we win!"

"Long live Zeon!!"

———— Dividing Line————

Going back a little further in time, shortly after the Federation fleet had just finished turning and was heading straight towards Rum, it was on the bridge of Rebil's flagship Annak.

"Tsk!" Rybil suddenly felt a pain in his eyebrows, he rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly, and then exhaled heavily.

"What's wrong, John?" Although he was commanding the Annak, Kaninggan, who was always paying attention to Rebil, noticed that something was wrong with him for the first time, and Kaningan turned his head and asked.

"Nothing, just a little bit wrong." Reybiel said with a frown, a bad premonition in his heart.

To say something that sounds like a digression, John Abraham Raybile has had a particularly prominent intuition, or sixth sense, since he was a teenager, and before many unfortunate things happen, Raybile will subconsciously feel alert.

But that's all, Rebile is not a superpower, and his intuition has not reached the level of superpower, everything about him has nothing to do with this intuition, it is the result of his hard work.

Even he himself does not believe much in this so-called intuition, because he is by no means a person who would put his hopes in so-called intuition.

"Did you receive the Apocalypse again?" Kaningan said with a slight jokingness, for him, an old friend of Raybil for many years, naturally he also knew that Reybil's intuition was slightly better than ordinary people, and in the jokes they usually played with each other, Kaningan jokingly called this intuition the apocalypse.

"Apocalypse?" Rybiel smiled and said half-jokingly, "If any god can give me a revelation that I will definitely be able to defeat Zeon, it doesn't matter if I want to start believing in religion today." ”

"Aren't you a Baptist? It's not good to abandon God for the sake of a war. Kaningan took a few steps, closer to Rebier, making sure their conversation wasn't overheard by the other bridge crews.

"That's just my family's faith, you know me," said Rabier, spreading his hands, "I don't believe in God, at least not in that God who doesn't play any role." ”

"After all, God or us, it is only because it is useful that people can gain people's trust, and if it is useless," said Rebile with a meaningful smile, "that is the end." ”

"Pessimistic," Kaningan said unceremoniously, "John, you are the founder of this fleet and their commander, and it is good that whoever loses confidence is the only one who must not lose the confidence to win." ”

"And the LORD said unto Moses, Why prayest thou unto me, that thou didst command the children of Israel to go forward," said Kaningaam, who was also from a Christian family, and said with an allusion: "Lift up thy hand and stretch out thy rod unto the sea, and divide the waters." And the Israelites shall go down into the sea and walk into dry land. ”

"Then Moses stretched out his rod to the sea, and the Lord used a great east wind to cause the sea to recede overnight, and the waters parted, and the sea became dry land, and became a wall to the children of Israel," Rebil laughed, "and at dawn the sea was restored." When the Egyptians fled from the water, Jehovah overthrew them in the sea. ”

"I hope there is also a god who can help us scrap all Zeon's weapons, but I don't know that his divine power can control the universe."

He couldn't help laughing: "Exodus, Rod, although I understand what you mean, I have to say that your choice is strange enough, compared to the Old Testament, there are other allusions that can be cited." ”

"Joan of Arc Daruch, William Wallace, 。。。。。。。" I don't know if it's intentional or not, but Reybier lists the tragic heroes who led the people but didn't achieve victory.

Rebiel gave Kaningan a deep look, a smile on his face, but there was no joke in his eyes: "Rod, I, am neither a prophet nor an apostle. ”

"You will, as long as you win, you are a prophet, an apostle," Kaningam said, "and victory leads to everything, including what we normally do not get." ”

"What if we fail, Rod?" Ray Bill showed a rare hint of exhaustion, no matter what, he was also an old man approaching his twilight years: "I don't have another twenty years." ”

"It's not like you to say you're going to lose before you fight, John," said Kaningam, frowning, "and John Abraham Rebil, whom I know, is not a man who is afraid of defeat. ”

"I can't help but be afraid," Rebir could only say to Kaningan, who was always in control of everything in front of others, even Walken or Tiam: "Our idea of building an army was wrong from the beginning. ”

"It is true that we have made a lot of efforts since the 60s, but the roots are wrong, and the fruits are also wrong, everything we have built, the fleet, the officer training system, and the entire system of arms production, renewal, and maintenance have to be adjusted on a large scale, and the painstaking efforts of countless days and nights in the past have proved to be worthless, which is really uncomfortable."

"At this time, I really regret why I am not a prophet," Rebile said a little dejectedly, but his eyes were not the eyes of a coward who had already succumbed: "I have suffered a miserable defeat because of my own mistakes, and I have eaten enough of this experience when I was young, but I did not expect to come again in my old age, and it is more serious than any time in the past." ”

"If it really reaches the point of no return, then let it go and leave the matter to future generations," Kaningan said with some distress: "No one will blame you, you have worked hard enough." ”

"In the final analysis, this is not your ideal alone, but the ideal of all of us, and there will definitely be people who are willing to dedicate themselves to it in the future, so it is also a reasonable choice to let go and pin hope on the future."

"No kidding," Rebile snorted coldly at Kaningan's words of concern, "to mess things up, and then leave an even worse mess for posterity, and claim to be pinning hope on the future?" ”

"Hmph, isn't this just running away? I, Reybiel, have not yet fallen to the point of being a deserter! ”

As it turned out, Kaningan not only understood Rebier's thoughts, but he even found it a little funny, laughing at himself for forgetting the character of his old friend.

John Abraham Rybier looks like a good old man like Santa Claus, but at the end of the day, he is more scrappy than any young man, and he hates to defeat more.

Rebile pursues victory and despises defeat, and he is using this way to stimulate himself to be more vigilant and never fall into the misery of the loser.

His state at the moment is the complete opposite of the so-called pessimism and defeatism, and he is Rebiel who has entered a fighting state.

White was worried, and Kaningan shook his head with a smile.

Then I couldn't help but put my mind at ease.

"Rod," at that moment, Rabiel suddenly said to Kaningaan, "Send fighter jets。。。。。。 Just, Swordfish, the number of squadrons should be about the same. ”

"Let them patrol the path from here to the Moon," Rebil said with a deep sigh, "and if nothing happens along the way, launch a power reconnaissance on Granada to determine the status of Cecilia's forces." ”

"How?" Kaningan asked, somewhat surprised, "Do you think there's something wrong with the moon?" ”

"Didn't you judge that the moon was just a decoy? Changed your mind now? ”

"No, my mind hasn't changed," Rebir said categorically, "Based on all aspects of intelligence, and speculation about Zeon's strategic intentions, the main force of Zeon's army is the most reasonable and probable in Rum. ”

"Besides, didn't Thiam also inform him, Rum's is indeed the main force of Zeon, he is not a man who can't even grasp the situation of this level, his words are credible."

"And what are you?"

"It's nothing, just a little caution," said Reybil, "and I always have a bad premonition, unfounded." ”

"Since I'm not a prophet, I wish this hunch was just my psychological effect."

"A better premonition is better than a better one, and it exists in this world."
