Chapter 1055: Reason
Seeing Dalton in the Rutonado star system, watching Mr. Lieutenant General take off the medal watch on his chest and put it on the bodies of those fallen soldiers, he felt that this old man and Mie Nakamura, Terry? Ferdinand's people are very similar, admirable, and a person who can be deeply acquainted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But now, the friend he recognized, the one he had worked so hard to save, had put a knife into his chest.
Since he came to this world, he has experienced a lot, and he has never been so sad and angry as he is today, the pain of giving his heart but betraying, pouring trust but reaping deception, drowning him like a tide.
"You helped the Covenant reap the fruits of victory in no man's land; You have made the Allies unite as one; Thou art like a mountain to ward off the threat of thy neighbor; You have not hesitated to extend a helping hand to the people in the disaster area; You have put yourself in a desperate situation to help us......"
Dalton? Evelyn said in a slightly trembling voice, perhaps because of some guilt, his voice was not very clear, and it was completely inconsistent with his military identity, the demeanor of a lieutenant general.
Tang Fang didn't speak, just covered his chest with his hands and stared into his eyes, as if to say: So you remember......
"The Covenant owes you a lot." Saying this, Dalton looked at the blood flowing under his feet, and took off the helmet of the power armor with his hand, revealing a solemn and pale face: "But you know what? You're doing just too much, too much...... It's too good to do better than the government and the military, it's too good......"
This sentence is very harsh, at least to Tang Fang, is it wrong to be too sincere, and it has become a sin to do too much and too well for them? He suddenly remembered the unbearable history of China's 5,000-year-old civilization, and felt that he was really lucky and great, and he was able to have the same treatment as those heroes. Coke, and pathetic.
"Is it a high achievement? It's ironic. He remembered telling the Covenant media more than once that he had no interest in politics, but the scene in front of him told him that as long as people drift in this society, even if you are a strong man on the dominant side, or a homeless beggar who can only live on a park bench and sleep with a newspaper covered, you will not be able to escape the curse of politics.
For the strong, your strength is always remembered and feared by politicians. For the proletarian and lowly beggars, those teenagers who indulge in malice under the influence of deformity, will play with and trample you like a dog.
Something like "Don't talk to me about politics...... I'm not interested in this stuff. Or, "Politics is too far away for ordinary people like us." Another example is the phrase "politics has nothing to do with me", which was often talked about in the Monya Empire. Those people don't think politics has much to do with their lives. In fact, politics is nothing more than a noose around their necks, a machete hanging over their heads, not far away at all, but frighteningly close.
Politics can determine whether you can be born by your parents, politics can determine whether you are a human or a dog, and it can even turn you into a demon who kills your loved ones.
So, he paid the price for his naivety. Dalton did not hesitate to swing a knife at his friends for the sake of the Covenant, and he did so many practical things for the Covenant, but in exchange for such a result, he became a victim of political correctness.
He thinks that he understands the evil of politics and deliberately avoids this evil, but its real evil lies in the fact that as long as he lives in this society, he cannot escape at all, and can only die in this evil.
Dalton didn't dare to look up at his face, his eyes fell on the glaring dagger, nodded, and shook his head again.
"From a certain point of view, it can be said, but it is different from those high-ranking events in Chinese history." Mr. Lieutenant General likes to drink kung fu tea, and he also likes to read some books about Chinese history when drinking kung fu tea, and he knows very well what the word "gong gao zhen master" represents.
"The army decided to do this not because your merits threatened the Adamic government's rule over the Covenant...... For the sake of this country and its people, we can only do this. During this period of time, you have accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth among the people, more and more people choose to accept your existence, and more and more people are grateful for your existence. The reason why those media always like to ask you if you want to participate in politics is because you have become a hero and idol in the eyes of many people. They are willing to follow you, listen to you, and say no to this stubborn system of government and social rules with flying youth and bloody rebellion. ”
"The Covenant government was born based on the will of the people, and it stands to reason that whether it is a republican Dang, a democratic Dang, or other Dang factions, they should accept this and try to make you a member of them to work for the benefit of the Covenant. But you are a person who hates politics, and you will not join any dang faction, insist on being a free man, and do what you think is right. ”
"It's really noble and admirable, so more people like you and love you...... Not just me, David? General Conan, Adam? President Oliver, or even the late Luc? General Stillberg is happy to see the country have such a figure who stands up to the sky and becomes the backbone of the Star Alliance Building. ”
"But...... The reality is so cruel. Because of your background, because you are a member of the Garcia rebels, and because of the hope of the suffering Monya people to turn over, this means that there will never be any possibility of reconciliation between you and the Monya Empire. The Stewart family and the Garcia Resistance can only survive in the future. ”
"The Star Alliance and the Monya Empire are hostile, but have you ever thought that this hostile relationship is based on the ownership of the Tiantu star system, and the Star Alliance, together with the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic, launched a national war against the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, just to be able to regain the territorial sovereignty of the Tiantu star system, the Mubarak star system, and the two star systems occupied by the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic. Once the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dolanx successfully occupy the Gampner Theater, force the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire to submit, and agree to sign an entente to return the Tiantuk star system and the Mubarak star system to the Star Alliance, the conflict on the battlefield in the No Man's Land will end, and the Star Alliance society will return to peace. ”
"But your existence has become a contradiction that can never be reconciled between the Star Alliance and the Monya Empire. At first, Adam's government and military allied with you in the hope that you would help the Covenant win the war. However, as your prestige among the people is getting higher and higher, your reputation is getting better and better, and public opinion is gradually deviating from the normal trajectory, many people are influenced by you, and begin to forget their original intentions, and regard the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire as evil beings that must be eradicated. ”
"Many people see you as a friend and benefactor of the Covenant...... Helping friends and benefactors is a normal thing. ”
"At first, most of them were young people, but after the Dortmund Massacre by the Deep Diver fleet, driven by hatred, more than 80% of the people insisted that the Monya Empire must be destroyed, that the Stewart family must pay for the crimes they have committed, and that the Covenant Navy has the obligation and responsibility to fight side by side with the Morning Star Forge to erase that evil government from the world."
This kind of hatred is like a quagmire that eats people's hearts, blinding their consciousness. And your presence, like the morning star that illuminates the darkest days before dawn, becomes the sustenance of many. The families of fallen soldiers want you to lead the Covenant Navy to avenge their children; The survivors of the Dortmunggo massacre want you to get justice for them; Those who have a conscience want you to give the Stewart family a verdict and let justice and justice be served; There are also many guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they hope that a wave of min-domination will break out in the Hillenbuir region, so that the spirit of Starlink will be reborn. ”
"Therefore, your kind help to the people of the Star Alliance, although it is kind, has tied this country to the chariot of the Garcia Resistance, and there is no possibility of peace with the Monya Empire. You're not a dictator, you don't even want to step into politics, but the consequences of your actions are better than a dictator. As long as you live, the people will not lose their fanaticism to destroy the Monya Empire, and the Covenant government is powerless to suppress this hatred and fanaticism, so they can only watch the country spiral out of control and sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of war. ”
"What did the war bring? brought a dazzling fire on the battlefield in no man's land, brought a cold young corpse, and brought relatives to wash their faces with tears...... Brought Luc? General Stillberg sacrificed his life for his country, bringing the haze and cold rain that covered the sky of Dortmungo, the frightened eyes of children, and the despair and sorrow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man...... The Covenant simply wants to reclaim the sovereignty of the Tempok star system, which was our property in the first place. ”
"Have you ever thought about how many catastrophes will be caused by a bloodthirsty and brutal executioner like Kirclaugh I if the Covenant really becomes a blade for you to liberate the Monya Empire and destroy the tyranny of the Stewart family? The tragic scene of Dortmunggo is only a prelude and a rehearsal of a greater catastrophe. Will you be able to protect us all with the help of the Anubis Legion in the Monya Empire...... No, you can't. ”
"People can be blind, they can ignore the bigger picture, but we can't. For the sake of the country, for the sake of the people, I can only do this, I must do this, even if it is to become a despicable villain. But...... I don't regret it, it's a terrible thing, but someone has to do it. ”
He said a lot, a lot. Standing in front of Tang Fang, he didn't dare to look up, he kept looking down at his feet, his tone was naturally not eloquent, his voice was high and low, and sometimes he trembled so much that he could hardly hear clearly. That meant that his mood was mixed, with the ups and downs of those words, with the memories in his mind.
Tang Fang felt that Mr. Lieutenant General's words were not so much to explain why he had done so, but to convince himself not to let the tide of guilt and shame overwhelm his spirit. He appeared to be standing, but he was actually kneeling in front of him.
Is this Dalton? Evelyn's reason for sticking a knife into his body. To a certain extent, his sincere help turned into a bad thing, and he also caused a death disaster.
Tang Fang didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, maybe ...... "mixed tastes" was very applicable.
If you look at this from the standpoint of the Covenant government and military, Dalton? Evelyn did nothing wrong. This man who is not strong, dry and thin, has made great sacrifices for the future of the Star Alliance and the people.
At the beginning, the Star Alliance took advantage of a series of events that occurred after the Somar auction to provoke a war against the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire. For the Adam government and the Covenant Navy, they seem to be ready, and they have also set up a strategic idea of protracted war, determined to fight the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire to the end.
At the beginning of the war, there was a lot of pride and enthusiasm, but what about after the war? When the death toll increases by the second, and new photos on the information wall obscure old ones, the bleak scene of Dortmung becomes a lingering nightmare, some hesitate, some regret it.
It is easy to set up lofty ambitions, but it is not easy to accept the bitter fruits. The Covenant government and army, which have long been committed to economic development, have bullied pirates at most militarily, and have never fought hard battles with real swords and guns, have experienced many defeats, the Dortmund massacre, the poisoning of the Deep Diver fleet, and the Phoenix Empire has deployed millions of soldiers on the border between the two countries. Oliver, Rene? Shaken by the pungent smell of blood, Ismael's men finally realized that they were wrong, and that the Covenant was not prepared at all...... They cannot afford the damage that this war has taken on civilians.
Mackintosh ordered the Deep Diver fleet to cause a massacre in the Roulna star system, not just to warn the Covenant populace, but also to Adam? Oliver's men look at what cruelty is, and let these guys who only know how to fight for power in parliament all day long drink a glass of wine made of human blood.
Aren't they patriotic? Doesn't it want to regain the sovereignty of the Tiantuk star system and the Mubarak star system, so that the Covenant can restore its territorial integrity? Then exchange the lives of the people and the economic results of these years.
As it turned out, the Adam government and the Covenant Navy were scared, and they were nowhere near as ruthless as Colclough I. They are afraid of the repeat of the Dortmund massacre, and they are even more afraid that their own kind and sincere kidnapping of the Covenant people will pull the entire Covenant into the vortex of all-out war. Between the interests of the country and his, they chose the former...... They chose to do this, and they could only do it.
Seriously, after so many things, he is no longer the same person he used to be. For the overthrow of the tyranny of the Stewart family, he prefers to use his own strength to accomplish it, rather than choosing to pull the Star Alliance into the water like during the Somar auction.
