"The death of a traitor in SIDE2 is a heavenly retribution!"

"This is a just punishment for the fools who betray the righteousness of the people of the universe!"

"This is the result of their own suffering!"

"Will anyone shed tears for the death of innocent Hadi citizens?"

"Absolutely!"

"The people of our Principality of Zeon, who are merciful, will weep for them and pray for them!"

"At the same time, our people are full of anger!"

"Filled with anger against the evil Earth Federation!"

"The Earth Federation has lured the people of the universe into betraying their rightful mission, and they have instigated the stupid Hadi leadership to make them go to war with us!"

"However, while the Earth Federation instigated Hadi to fight with us, he couldn't shrink back and let the innocent Hadi citizens shed blood and sacrifice, so that the incompetent Earth Federation is our real enemy!"

"My compatriots! Two billion glorious citizens of the Principality of Zeon! And all the people of the universe who have realized the righteousness of our actions! ”

"The war with the Earth Federation has just begun!"

"Let's line up in a neat queue and move forward!"

"Let's go to the day of victory!"

Before he walked down the thunder, Lear heard Gilian's high-pitched and powerful speech, and I have to say that Kilian's speech level is still there, but what the hell is this talking about.

The whole text is filled with words that are more like oracles than agitation.

Heavenly retribution.

Just punishment.

Full of anger.

A neat queue without any mess.

Let's go to the day of victory.

He always felt that there was a strange madness in this speech.

It's full of something bad.

"What's going on?" Lear asked, holding a passing refuge.

"Ah, Elder Alkerstein。。。。。 Lieutenant," the retrencher hurriedly changed his words: "This is a recording of the speech from the Wangure, which is said to have been played simultaneously during the Battle of SIDE2. ”

So when SIDE4 is in a very similar situation, it is also playing?

Lear frowned imperceptibly, the people of the Zabi family really liked this kind of symbolic ritual.

Thinking of the civilians who died in the process of attacking SIDE2, even if infiltration operations were used, the number could probably reach tens of thousands, Lear felt heavy at the thought of this.

In particular, the fact that those who died were not fighters but civilians is particularly heavy.

It's not that he doesn't understand that no one is innocent in war, but civilians certainly bear less responsibility than soldiers.

"Well, I see," Lear said, letting go of the registrar, "You go back to your post." ”

He didn't want to spend a moment in Gnacu, and Kilian's speech was simply annoying.

Returning to his office along the passageway, he pushed the door in, only to see Maggie in shock, trying to turn around as if nothing had happened, trying to hide something behind her.

"What's wrong?" It's rare for Maggie to try to hide something from herself, and Lear couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Huh? It's nothing," Maggie smiled as usual, and she was perhaps better at hiding her sincerity than Lear, "Compared to that。。。。。。 ”

"Come on, Maggie, you're hiding something from me," Lear has been with Maggie for so many years after all, and he won't be easily fooled by her, looking at Maggie still doesn't want to tell him, Lear smiled and said, "Tell me, you know, no matter what you want to hide from me, I always have a way to know." ”

Before he could pay attention, he said casually as he walked towards Maggie.

Maggie took a few steps back, with a determined expression on her face: "Lear, it's okay if you want to know, but no matter what you hear, promise me not to do anything impulsive." ”

Lear began to feel a little strange, and he paused and said, "This。。。。。。。 Well, I promise you, I'll try to stay calm. ”

He did not say yes, but cautiously chose a wording that was more than advanced but had a similar meaning.

However, Maggie was not convinced at all, she stared into Lear's eyes and said, "Instead of staying calm, I want you to promise that no matter what happens, you will never do anything impulsive." ”

"If you don't promise me, I will never tell you."

There was an uncompromising will in her words, and a certain tension that only those closest to her could feel, Lear didn't know what Maggie was going to say, but he wasn't the kind of guy who would agree first regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he didn't say yes, let alone make a promise that he couldn't do, but asked tentatively, "What's wrong, Maggie?" Did something happen? ”

"What's going on in my hometown?"

"Or what's going on there in Serra?" He spoke as he conjectured, observing Maggie's expression.

And yet he saw nothing.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that nothing had happened that would particularly shake him, so he said, "Well, I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never act impulsively. ”

Hearing Lear's promise, Maggie eventually handed him a piece of paper with words written on it.

At the same time, she silently moved towards the doorway, standing between Lear and the doorway.

She knew Lear too well, perhaps better than Lear herself, and she understood how strong Lear's sense of responsibility was, and she knew that he was not as mature as she thought.

What is so mysterious。。。。。。。 Lear hadn't focused on the paper when he got it, and was a little upset that Maggie didn't trust his performance.

Then he no longer had the energy to pay attention to the problem, and his hand grasping the paper clenched unconsciously, not only tearing the paper with such force, but also causing the green tendons on his hands to burst up.

There were only a few lines on the paper, and it was written about the battle report of SIDE2, about the battle called Operation Britain.

He looked at the words, which smoothly translated into content in his mind, but the content barely reached his mind, his body trembled slightly, his eyes straightened, and he stared at the lines of words.

【。。。。。。 During the battle, a mass massacre was carried out by injecting G3 nerve gas into the colony of SIDE2, executed by the commander of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Sima Karahau. 】

【。。。。。。 SIDE2's last remaining capital colony, Ishif, was used for the British Campaign. 】

【。。。。。。。 The purpose of Operation Britain was to deter the other sides and force them to stay away from the Federation, and at the same time destroy the base of the Union Army, Chabro, and destroy the will of the Federal Government to resist. 】

【。。。。。。 A third of Australia's territory was wiped out, and 17% sank in the Pacific Ocean。。。。。。。 Tsunamis and earthquakes devastated all the cities on the Pacific coast。。。。。。。 The number of casualties is unknown, but it is estimated that the number of casualties on Earth alone could reach one-half of the total population。。。。。。。。 】

【。。。。。。 The combat results were not ideal, and despite the fact that the lowered satellites caused irreparable serious damage to the Earth, the strategic objectives were not completed, and General Rebier's fleet had already entered space. 】

【。。。。。。 The Military Command Department proposed the Second British War. 】

Nerve gas?

Mass murder?

Drop satellites on Earth?

[Thinking of the civilians who died in the process of raiding SIDE2, even if infiltration operations were used, the number was likely to reach tens of thousands]

He couldn't help but recall what he had just thought, it wasn't tens of thousands at all, but billions of people!

Wait, Sima Karahau's Marines! Nerve gas! Lear instantly thought of the transport ships that passed him.

He now knew exactly what he was missing.

Maybe it's still too late.

Lear completely forgot his agreement with Maggie, he rushed towards the door, Maggie hurriedly wanted to grab his arm, but the blood rushed to Lear's head was not something she could hold, Lear just flicked his arm, Maggie flew backwards, fortunately there was no normal gravity in the spaceship, Maggie was not injured.

He walked forward with his head bored, and happened to meet Aina around the corner.

"Lieutenant Alkestein? Congratulations。。。。。。 ”

However, Lear didn't care what Aina said, completely ignoring her presence and walking straight past her.

"Huh? Wait, Lieutenant? ”

Lear rushed to Gnaku, where Kilian's speech was still looping, and he grabbed one of the reposers and shouted, "Get my mech ready, I'm going to strike now!" ”

The captured reinforces were dazed, and they didn't react until they saw Lear: "Lieutenant? ”

"Don't make me say it a second time!"

"But, but, lieutenant, there was no order to attack from the bridge。。。。。。。"

"I said, don't let me say it a second time, don't you know English, soldier!!"

Under Lear's terrifying face, the retrencher finally gave in, and he, along with the other reposers, began to equip Thunderlight with various weapons.

Lear gets into Thunderlight's cockpit and starts activating the system.

"Driver authentication starts, please 。。。。。。 later"

"Hurry up!!" Actually, it was only a matter of a second or two, but Lear found this authentication particularly annoying and slow, and he slammed it the keyboard, but fortunately did not smash it.

"Commando Mobile Commander Lear Wolfgang Alkerstein, has logged into the system."

"Authentication ends, MS boot begins."

At this moment, Maggie followed, she also got into the cockpit, grabbed Lear's hand and said anxiously, "Wait, Lear, you promised me to stay calm!" ”

Lear didn't answer, just concentrated on debugging the system, and his stomach felt like someone had been stuffed into a heavy stone.

"Listen to me!" Maggie grabbed Lear's hand and focused his attention on herself, with a crying expression, "You can't do anything, calm down, Lear!!" ”

"No, I have something to do!" Lear, however, said softly, he didn't look as excited as he had just been, but Maggie felt that he was even more terrifying than he had just looked.

He shook off Maggie's hand and continued to debug the system, saying, "I can chase the Marines, and I can do it at the speed of thunder." ”

He didn't even think that the concentration of Minovsky particles in the SIDE4 universe was not very high, and he could also contact the Shanghai Troop by radio.

"What about after catching up? What are you doing? Convince them? Maggie said loudly, neither of them noticing Aina who was following her.

Aina's face was full of surprise, as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"You know, right? There's no way they're going to turn back just because you say something! What should you do if they don't give up? ”

"Then I'll shoot them down!" Lear's eyes revealed madness: "Whoever it is!" ”

"What about after shooting them down? What are you going to do? Even if you shoot them down, there's an entire cosmic assault army! You're going to be killed! Maggie finally burst into tears, hugging Lear and pressing him against the chair.

Indeed, Lear is not unclear, but 。。。。。。。

"MAGGIE, LISTEN TO ME," LEAR SAID IN AS CONCILIATORY A TONE AS HE COULD, "THERE, SIDE4, THERE ARE A BILLION PEOPLE. ”

"Do you want me to watch them die?"

"You know my ideals, if I don't stand up at this time, when can I stand up?"

"Indeed, as long as you close your eyes, plug your ears, and pretend that you don't know what's going on there, it's certainly easy to live like that," Lear hesitated for a moment, but hugged Maggie in turn: "If I turn a blind eye today, what qualifications do I have to talk about ideals in the future, and what qualifications do I have to talk about the liberation of mankind。。。。。。。 ”

"I don't care!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Maggie's crying, and she let go of Lear, and then grabbed him the cheek, Lear's head was restricted from moving, and only Maggie's red and swollen eyes could be seen in his eyes.

"I never cared about those things, I didn't care what your ideals were, I didn't care how many people would die there!"

"All I care about is you, I want you to live well!"

Her cry gradually turned into a feeble sob: "Please, don't do dangerous things。。。。。。 ”

"Don't leave me alone。。。。。。。"

Lear was stunned as he spotted a bruise on the back of Maggie's hand.

I'm afraid it was left over from my rough actions just now.

He suddenly felt a pang of weakness.

As I said before, he can even sacrifice his life for the revolution and justice, but only Maggie and Daddy.

[This thing is for me to do on my own, if it's just because I'm doing this, so if you want to join in, you don't have to, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Dad, I hope you have nothing to do with this matter at all. 】

Now that I think about it, what an arrogant statement.

If the same thing happened to SIDE3, no, if their identities were revealed and Maggie and Daddy were caught, they would definitely suffer something worse than poison gas.

He finally understood the knowledge that connected his mind with reality, the stories of history, about massacres, abuses, tortures, repressions, about all the atrocities that the subjects of the revolution would do to the revolutionaries.

At the cost of witnessing the death of more than a billion people.

This is probably the most expensive tuition fee ever paid in human history.

I should have understood, Lear's strength in holding Maggie gradually relaxed, he thought bitterly.

What the hell are you doing?

Revolution is not about inviting guests to dinner, not making a fuss, not painting and embroidering, not so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle and courteous.

A revolution is an insurrection, a violent action by a class to overthrow a class.

I clearly know this sentence, and I am the only one in the world who knows it, and I think I am a revolutionary leader, but in the end, compared to others, am I the only one who has no revolutionary consciousness at all?

I don't have the consciousness that I will get involved in everything around me.

The sacrifice of the revolutionary was never his own.

"It's not your fault, Lear." Maggie seemed to sense Lear's pain and said softly.

"No, it's my fault, no matter how much I blame, I did commit a crime against them," Lear's hands clenched, his short nails digging into the soft flesh of his palms, "I fight for Zeon, I kill for him, no matter what I think or what I want to do, that's true." ”

No one is an island, no one can be self-sufficient, so don't ask for whom the death knell is ringing, it rings for you.

"I'm a sinner."

At this moment, an emergency distress signal suddenly came from the radio station inside the thunderlight, and the birthplace was SIDE4.

Lear subconsciously turned on the channel, and didn't realize what he had done until he had done all this.

The voice of the distress cry gradually mingled with the speech of the extravehicular Gilian.

[-Help!] Distress! Anyone on this channel? 】

(The death of a traitor in SIDE2 is a heavenly retribution!) ）

[Please, can anyone hear? 】

(This is a just punishment for the fools who betray the righteousness of the people of the universe!) ）

[The Zeon Army is crazy! They have injected poison gas into the satellites, and they are going to kill us all! 】

(This is the result of their own suffering!) ）

[We are not soldiers, we are all ordinary refugees!] Whoever hears this cry for help, please save us, we are in the shelter below the square! 】

(The people of our Principality of Zeon, who are merciful, will weep for them and pray for them!) ）

[We have old people here!] There are children, too! It's all civilians, no soldiers! 】

(My compatriots!) Two billion glorious citizens of the Principality of Zeon! And all the people of the universe who have realized the righteousness of our actions! ）

[Please, for God's sake, save us!] 】

(The war with the Earth Federation has just begun!) ）

Oh my God! Poison gas seeps in! 】

(Let's line up in a neat and unorganized queue and move forward!) ）

【。。。。。。。 God, please。。。。。。。 】

(Let's go to Victory Day!) ）

By the end of the day, the distress signal had gradually become inaudible, and it was not known whether it was because the person who spoke had died, or because the Zeon Army, who sensed the distress signal, had scattered Minovsky particles.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Lear closed his eyes slightly, and a certain flame in his heart grew stronger with the infusion of fuel.

I know, I'm ready. I am willing to endure all the pain, all the blows. 】

[I don't want people to be grateful, I don't want people to have mercy, and I don't want fame.] 】

For its sake, I am willing to sin. 】

He suddenly remembered the poem he liked very much, and suddenly understood what a resolute consciousness the poem said.

He spoke softly, and there was no confusion and innocence in his words, only pain and firmness: "Maggie, I'm sorry. ”

Maggie, who heard his words, didn't look up, but the head on his chest moved slightly.

"Maybe one day, I'll kill you."

In the end, he didn't choose to give up.

No matter what it costs him.
