[O cosmic people of the entire earth, isn't this the time for us to rise up and resist? 】

[For many years, the Earth Federation has defined itself as the ruler of all mankind, and they believe that those who live on the earth are the party responsible for the rule, and those who live in the universe are the party responsible for the ruled, and they call the reasonable pursuit of independence and freedom by the people of the universe treason! 】

[If this is treason, I believe that all the people of the universe will follow us Zeon to commit treason together, because anyone with a little common sense and conscience knows that only the universe is the country of the people of the universe, and the old human beings who were born on the earth and have never been to the universe for a day are qualified to rule the new human beings who have opened up their territory for all mankind? 】

。。。。。。

The speech from the commander-in-chief of the Principality of Zeon, Kilian Zabi, came from outside the car window, and the loud voice made people feel a little headache, so Long Yi and the others invariably closed the window next to him.

This speech is set to be broadcast on all satellites every three times, that is to say, from January 3, the start of the war, the people of SIDE3 will theoretically listen to this speech eight times a day, and listen to it so frequently for half a month, even the natural sound will feel unbearable, not to mention that although Gilian's voice is very high-pitched and powerful, it is by no means a natural sound.

This speech can almost be memorized even by the repulsive Long Yi, but I have to say that although this measure makes the people of SIDE3 feel a little annoying, it is a typical use of propaganda bombing, the so-called lie repeats 10,000 times and becomes the truth, day after day of high-intensity propaganda with many good news and negative news from the enemy, the people of SIDE3 gradually recognized the justice of this war, not to mention Zim and other places that originally supported the war. Even in places such as Rum, where anti-Zabi sentiment is serious, the main battle sentiment has become the mainstream, which is why the recruitment of talented people will have such a grand occasion, and propaganda and trends are also one of the main reasons.

After all, young people love these words - justice, freedom, destiny。。。。。。

These words can be used to name the giant robots that are specially built, especially popular with young people, who will be agitated by enthusiastic propaganda and do not need visible benefits, but rather if they are lured by profit, it will have the opposite effect and provoke young people's rebellious mentality.

This is not to mock the unscrupulous short-sightedness of young people, but on the contrary, these young people are much more endearing than those treacherous and cunning, unprofitable and early adults, and although their blood is easily exploited, it is undeniable that their hearts are good.

Just as all revolutions in the world often begin with student marches – young people are the most vocal and vocal group, and if there is a country where young people weigh the pros and cons day long and take whether it is profitable or not to behave as a rule, then that country is probably a pill.

"This。。。。。。 How long will I have to listen to it," Chris said with a wry smile, shaking his head, "I had this speech echoing in my head all night, and I can't forget it." ”

It's like mental pollution, when the most dazzling xx style first became popular, the author had the misfortune to have an infinite loop in his brain for several days, whether it was in class or playing games, or even sleeping, that melody kept circulating in the author's head, which tortured the author's fragile nerves.

This is exactly what the Zeon publicity department wants to do.

"Maybe soon you won't be able to hear, so bear with me a little longer." Long Yi pouted and said.

"Ah。。。。。。h Chris reacted for a moment to what Long Yi was talking about, Long Yi was talking about Zeon's defeat, and when the Federation took over SIDE3, then he naturally didn't need to listen to Gilian's speech anymore.

"That's a bit of a 。。。。。。 It's uncomfortable. Chris said with a wry smile.

This is also human nature, admittedly, the family can almost be regarded as anti-Zabi, but after all, this is Chris's homeland, he grew up with this country, and if the Federation comes to defeat Zeon, he really has some bad feelings in his heart.

It's like my country, I can scold, why should you scold?

I can kick my dog, why should you kick it?

A concept.

People will have close feelings for the things around them, whether they like them or not, and most of the feelings of beautifying memories and revisiting old places come from this.

"There's no way around it." Long Yi, who was not in a good mood, muttered a sentence and did not continue.

He also had similar feelings, although he hated Zeon, but he didn't think that the Federation was a good thing, this was not good, that was not good, there was no place in the world that could satisfy him, which not only made him feel the emptiness of being homeless.

And he didn't have the idea of 'then build a country of your own,' which is like an inappropriate analogy.

A person who thinks that China is not good, and the United States is not good, is likely to just get by, and will have the idea of 'just do it yourself and build a country' - most of them are crazy.

And the tiniest of these lunatics actually do it, and that is the real revolutionary.

Such people certainly exist, but they will never - there will not be many in any era, and they will not be able to make a career, or even if they do, it will not be constructive.

The atmosphere in the car was also a little bad, as if to break the heavy air, Holly suddenly said: "Dad, let's go to the ration station before going back, there is not much stock at home." ”

"Ah。。。。。。 Is it? Holleren paused for a moment, he touched his head, but obviously, although he was a good husband and father who loved his family, he was not the kind of person who cared much about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and he paused and said, "Then go to the rationing station." ”

So the car turned onto the road to the ration depot.

The so-called ration depot, as the name suggests, is the only designated monopoly point for essential consumables such as food by-products, clothing, and daily necessities, which is in line with the characteristics of the universe century and colonial satellites, not only SIDE3, but also early colonies such as SIDE1 provided the necessary daily necessities for the inhabitants in this way.

Holly's purpose is naturally the same, the family residence of the cosmic colony is generally quite small, there is no room for a lot of food storage, and the family of the cosmic colony naturally does not have the habit of storing food.

The cosmic colony looks big, but in fact the space is limited, especially the Ruhr, a satellite with a large number of large-scale industrial equipment, the space that can be freely disposed of is not much, compared to the scattered food stores and small supermarkets scattered on the earth, the unified bulk purchase of materials, unified large-scale transportation and warehousing, as well as unified pricing, unified quantitative supply methods are the only reasonable operations in the universe.

And SIDE3 is especially so, in 0079 now, SIDE3 is almost completely dependent on the supply structure of the official ration station, and the general public buys a certain amount of materials according to their own needs, if you want to describe it, it is a disguised food stamp and cloth stamp system, of course, it is higher than the latter in terms of the type of distribution, and it is still a lot more flexible in comparison.

There are two main reasons for the implementation of this system, one is that SIDE3's access to substances is unstable and narrow, and the material levels of SIDE3 have always been low enough to support an active free market.

Although SIDE3 has completed agricultural self-sufficiency after Dai Ken took office, as previously said, this is only basic food self-sufficiency, and other non-staple foods, light industrial products, etc. needed for life are not stable and large quantities of SIDE3 can be obtained, in fact, since the establishment of SIDE3, SIDE3 people's living standards - and the resulting happiness has been very low, and the long distance determines that SIDE3 can only maintain basic food and clothing no matter how hard it tries, Most of the crops that SIDE3 can grow on the dark side of the moon are high-energy crops such as corn, and it is impossible to grow fruits and vegetables or raise livestock.

So it's no wonder that the people of SIDE3 are full of discontent and struggle, and the standard of living is the decisive factor, and when the people of SIDE3 learn that the earth and the colonies close to it are much better off than them, they are naturally unhappy, just like there are not many willing untouchables in the Indian caste system.

Another reason is also the employment restrictions of SIDE3, except for a very small number of occupations (such as soldiers), the employment direction of the people of SIDE3 is basically limited to various industrial and social service positions, whether it is the Daken regime or the Zabi regime, they have consciously controlled not to let too many people engage in individual industry and commerce, there is no stable supply, no policy support, and even the store is difficult to solve, naturally the so-called self-employed are rare in SIDE3, Only a very small number of people in connection can get permission to open a restaurant, bar, or something.

Sometimes Lear also feels that it is no wonder that Dyken was able to incite a wave of nationalism among the people of the universe, because there is a great difference in the way of life and culture between the earthlings and the people of the universe, and these are the basic basis for people to judge whether they are human or foreign.

If they were under the same regime, when technology developed to a certain stage, their way of life would naturally change, and the two would naturally merge, but now they belong to two countries, and naturally they do not regard each other as compatriots.

Just because it's a two-country relationship, it's a very weighty reason, but it's also irrelevant, depending on how you look at it, and it's clear that most people think of the two-country split as the reason.

That's why it's so sad.

The car drove to the nearest ration station, but in front of them was a long dragon of people, and the dragon instantly felt that he was back at the airport, back to the place where everyone was full of expectations for the future, but only made him feel extremely disgusted.

"What's going on? Whose big guy's birthday is it today。。。。。。 Everybody wants to get together? He couldn't help but tell jokes that weren't funny, and in fact no one was laughing, Chris looked like he didn't know what he was thinking, and Holly frowned at the long human dragon.

After all, queuing is really impatient, if you want to honestly queue this long line, God knows how long it will be.

And just when Holly began to think about how much time to spend on this, Long Yi inadvertently noticed something, the people in front of the ration station lined up in the long line, their faces were full of anxiety and panic, the people in the front line couldn't wait, but the people in the back were very impatient, they even couldn't stop pushing each other, looking like they were about to explode.

Even those who come out with something in their hands don't look good on their faces.

What's going on?

Long Yi couldn't help but step forward and grabbed someone who was queuing, it was a middle-aged man who was still wearing a suit, but at this moment his suit was crumpled, he grabbed the top of the suit in his hand, the shirt was already soaked, and sweat was still pouring from his oily forehead.

There was no anger on his face either, as if he couldn't hold back, he wiped his sweat, took out his phone and looked at it twice, looked it back in the direction of the ration station, and then pulled it out again.

In this cycle, the whole person is filled with who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

The atmosphere.

"Excuse me, sir," Ryuichi asked, turning to him, "may I ask what is going on, why is everyone here?" ”

"Huh?" The man who was not in good physical condition was naturally not in a good mood, he glanced at Long Yi very unpleasantly, and his tone was full of impatience.

"Sorry to bother you, can you tell me?" The dragon apologized one by one, but asked anyway.

"Don't you know?" Although this man is not very happy, he is not the type who can bow his head and ask for advice, he glanced at Long Yi and muttered a few words.

"I'm sorry, we went out before, and we just came back."

"Actually。。。。。。 It's all spread," said the man, a little irritated, "half of the ships from Hamburg。。。。。 Less than half. ”

Long Yi didn't react to what he meant for a while, but he reacted quickly, and then he felt a chill in his body.

What did the man say?

Half of the ships of supplies? What does this mean?

It means that there is a problem with Zeon's material supply.

As mentioned above, life in a cosmic colony is based on a uniform rationing system, which varies depending on the SIDE it is in, but generally works well.

The colonial government will only do basic planning, and the specific transportation and warehousing work is taken care of by the colonial satellite communes, such as the Ruhr, which uniformly use supply ships to transport materials to the Ruhr, and then sell them to citizens at standard prices.

But now something has gone wrong, and anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that chaos and riots have often started with the problem of supply, both ancient and modern.

So what's the problem?

Before the start of the war, Zeon's living material reserves were actually insufficient, on the one hand, it was due to the space problem of the cosmic colony, no matter how careful the calculation, the space that could be stored was still limited, and on the other hand, it came from the economic sanctions of the Federation, in the case of consciously restricting the flow of biological materials to SIDE3, Zeon's reserves were naturally affected, although the Federation could not control the smuggling, but it was not the right way after all, and the materials obtained from it were also limited.

And this sanction is the most important factor in the start of the war, Zeon's products cannot be sold or are bought cheaply, and the price of daily necessities continues to rise, so it can be said that in the sense of striking the enemy country, the Federation's hand is very successful, but it also succeeds in cutting off the last hope for peace.

So in fact, Zeon's war is indeed a big gamble, and he is desperately trying to open up the situation under the premise that there is no way to be sanctioned by the economy, otherwise the Zabi regime will collapse under the Federal's starvation policy, which makes Lear quite familiar with it.

The disadvantages of Zeon's lack of material reserves were exposed a month after the start of the war, because the import channels were almost cut off (after all, Zeon was actually mainly trading with other SIDES, and now there was no other SIDE other than SIDE6 to help), a large shortage of materials, coupled with the hoarding of well-intentioned people, Zeon's ration system had begun to work poorly.

Of course, Zeon's predicament is not what people think, and after a few days everyone starves to death without food, in fact, most of the colonies except for SIDE2, which are completely destroyed, use poison gas. Many of the materials of the cleaned' satellites can be salvaged, as long as the war stops for a while, they can be organized and collected, and the remaining colonized satellite residents have no ability to resist the Zeon soldiers at all, of course, compared to the production function of these colonies, which is basically completely stopped, these captures can be said to be more than worth the loss, but it is not a problem to support the consumption of the Zeon people for several months or even a year.

But despite this, the general public does not know the inside story, for them, the information on the front line is almost blocked, and it is difficult for them to understand the specific situation of the war (although letting them know that a large number of SIDE will only make them more confused), regardless of whether Zeon is an advantage or a disadvantage, it is not a bad choice to stock up on some materials first, after all, it is wartime, Zeon's advantage is naturally good, if it is a disadvantage, they also have materials to ensure their life, why not?

So everyone rushed forward in a swarm, and the chaos had already happened and it was difficult to calm down.

I don't know if Kilian thought about this issue when he ordered the complete destruction of those SIDES, maybe not, or maybe there was but he didn't care too much, after all, although the material difficulties were not yet to the point of famine, it was just that the people needed to tighten their belts, and whether the people were willing to tighten their belts was obviously not in his consideration.

Generally speaking, everyone has the concept of empathy in their hearts, and empathy means that we know what it means to empathize and what it means to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but Kilian understands the concept of empathy, but he doesn't care at all, and in the eyes of this ego, it is natural for others to sacrifice for his noble purpose, but he does not consider what he takes for granted, and others may not agree with him.

This flaw led directly to his final death, as he did at the end of the war, when he used his father to kill Rebil together, successfully plunging the Federation into leaderless chaos without any consideration for what others would think of his actions.

Perhaps it was a bargain for him to trade a rotten, cowardly, capitulationist 'father' with neither power nor ability for Rebier, the core of the Federation Army, and half of the Federation fleet, but he didn't think about what his men would think of a man who didn't hesitate to kill his head of state and kill his own father, or what his brothers and sisters would think of it.

He thought that Cecilia would agree with his approach, after all, a dead prince is as important as a commander-in-chief, and then cooperate with him to fight back against the Federation, in fact, after this attack, Zeon does have an excellent opportunity to counterattack, they can even counterattack Solomon in one go, and even descend to the earth again, after all, Gilian has outstanding ability and determination, and must have made a plan.

But in the end, all his chances were ruined on issues that he hadn't even considered, he hadn't considered that Cecilia didn't agree with his father's murder at all, so with the taunt of 'brother is also naïve' and a gunshot rang out, Killen probably didn't understand what the problem was before he died, right? (Note 1)

"Wait a minute, you mean 。。。。。。" Long Yi asked eagerly.

"It's 。。。。。。" The man didn't want to say anything more: "Anyway, it's all spreading, and it's also my kindness, you'd better stock up on more things, who knows what's going to happen。。。。。。 ”

His last few words were indiscible, and as he saw that the queue began to move forward, he waved his hand in annoyance and walked forward with the human dragon.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the ration station:

[Citizens, please note that due to the large number of citizens who receive supplies, the reserves of this station are not enough to supply the needs, and materials need to be allocated from other distribution stations, so from now on, the upper limit of food exchange will be adjusted from one week to three days, and the upper limit of other daily necessities will be adjusted to one month。。。。。。 We ask for your understanding. 】

[Please rest assured that the materials are well stocked, I have applied to the superior for allocation, and the allocated materials will be in place soon, please keep calm, we suggest that if you do not have an urgent need, you can postpone receiving ——]

As soon as Long heard this broadcast, he understood that probably the material reserves of the ration station were no longer enough to deal with it, and it was thought that so many people rushed forward to exchange materials, and of course the ration station would not prepare such a large amount, after all, warehousing also costs money, and the ration station will only prepare the corresponding amount according to the data of material needs within a certain period of time, and what they said is really not a lie.

But such a statement was obviously taken as an excuse by the citizens in line, they have made angry and dissatisfied voices, those who happened to be stopped on the line to reduce the distribution of materials, looking at the people who were just one step ahead of themselves and the treatment was very different, their hearts were naturally dissatisfied, they began to push the security guards to maintain order, although the people who were farther away did not participate in the pushing, but also began to make noise, they angrily insulted the staff, so loud that the sound of the police whistle could not cover it.

The citizens who had already bought the supplies realized that something was wrong with the situation, and the smarter ones had already begun to prepare to leave, after all, they had already gotten their share, and the others who had not received it had been treated unfairly, but what did this have to do with them?

Rather than fighting for something for others, they are naturally more inclined to keep what they have already gotten their hands on, and as for these things being consumed, they also have to obey the reduced quota The matter is temporarily put behind them, and the difficulties in front of them are passed first.

So their attitude angered a lot of people who were still in line, especially some people who were at the back of the line, worried about whether the standard would be lowered when it was their turn, and a few guys who were obviously more impulsive than others crossed the queue and rushed to those who were holding things and wanted to leave, and this other case in turn stirred up the darkness in the hearts of other people who were a little calmer.

Seeing that the scene was chaotic, and the sound of quarrels and even brawls began to be heard, the security guards at the ration station obviously did not know how to deal with such a scene, and they could only try in vain to stop the citizens in line from pouring into the ration station, but they were small in number and retreated in the face of the pressure of the group.

However, just as the citizens had already rushed to the gate of the ration station and were about to rush in, a large number of police officers rushed to maintain order with the sound of shrill sirens accompanied by the sound of messy leather boots stomping on the ground.

They brandished batons, crossed the police cars together, and then rushed at the citizens who had a tendency to make trouble, mercilessly smashing the batons over their heads and faces.

How can unarmed citizens deal with the police? In the face of the sticks of the police, most people began to want to escape, and those who wanted to escape, those who wanted to move forward, and those who had not yet figured out the situation were mixed together, and those who were moving forward, and those who were standing in place were twisted together, not that someone was scraped to the ground, and then stepped on by someone's shoes, or that they inadvertently ate an elbow or ear scraper while pushing.

Long Yi saw with his own eyes that the situation of the middle-aged man who was talking to him just now, after the notice came out, he was also angry and wanted to come forward to ask for an explanation, but in the chaos, he didn't know why - it seemed that he was still walking forward because he was dizzy, and then he was scraped to the ground by the person who fled backwards in embarrassment, he hugged his head tightly, but he still ate several feet, fortunately he stood on the periphery, and even ran out with a rolling belt, and then ran away in panic, and even the suit jacket that fell on the ground did not have time to take away.

Long Yi didn't dare to imagine if he fell in the center of the crowd。。。。。。

He only felt a burst of nausea, and quickly turned his head and ran: "Hurry up!" Let's go, it's too dangerous here!! ”

Faced with the crowd at the scene, Holler and the others also understood that it was useless to stay at this time, so the group quickly ran back to the car, and the police did not stop them when they saw that they were leaving, but continued to teach the people who did not have time to leave.

Wailing, begging for mercy, shouting, and perhaps gasping for excitement, the scene is like a living hell.

Of course, this is the feeling of people who have never seen real hell, and if you are a person who has survived hell, it may even make people feel ridiculous, right?

But Long Yi and the others are obviously the former.

A moment later, under the skillful operation of Holler, the group left the ration station with palpitations, and at this moment even Holly didn't think about anything about supplies, her face was pale and her breathing was violent.

They rushed home as desperately as they could, as if some monster was chasing after them.

By the time they realized it, they were already home.

———— Dividing Line————

Note 1: Of course, there are different interpretations of this question, after all, there are 10,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 10,000 people, but the more I look at it, the more I think that Kilian is the kind of typical dictatorship political strongman.

Even the death of his younger brother Karma has to be completely exploited, and he doesn't realize that his actions have made the family very disgusted.

In the face of the request for help, Dozru just gave a big Zam right as a support, pressed the real main force in his hands, and prepared for the decisive battle at home (A. Bawa Ku as the final defense line of SIDE3 is basically a decisive battle at home), and sat back and watched Dozru die.

Then he used his father as a pawn and killed him along with Reybier.

Cesilia's last shot is a matter of course, and whoever encounters this situation must break off with Kilien, not to mention that their relationship is not good in the first place, and Kilian also thinks that he has the general situation in his hands, and he turns his back on Giria defenselessly.

This may be the 'Commander-in-Chief Gilian doesn't understand people's hearts' laugh.

Note 2: There is another chapter in the story of Ryuichi, and I lost my breath after the exam, and Ryuichi's story is to give Maggie a final ending, and then explain the situation of Zeon after the war.

Of course, the main thing is the former.
