Chapter 17 of the third angel's battle song, cheap dad

"Then came C.E. '57. Shjöger Klein and Patrick Sarah were elected to the PLANT Council; On the other hand, the "Zodiac League", now Zaft, began to carry out large-scale activities, and its supporters gradually increased. It wasn't until C.E.65 that the "Zodiac League" was renamed the "Zodiac League of Freedoms" as its support expanded. "In one fell swoop, it became the largest political-military group of PLANT." I'm talking about this history that almost everyone knows at PLANT.

"Yes, that's it." The old man nodded: "After that, the Earth side was afraid of losing both, and was also afraid of PLANT's various new weapons and technologies, and since then the two sides have fallen into a long-term arms race. It wasn't until a few years ago that they finally succeeded in establishing the MA troops, and they were unwilling to make a comeback. However, not to be outdone, we PLANT also quickly developed a powerful combat weapon called MS, so that the two sides returned to a state of parity. ”

"Does this then foresee another period of relative peace?" Unconsciously, I already regarded the old man in front of me as a respectable elder, and hurriedly brought up this idea that had been in my heart all along.

The old man sighed and said helplessly: "If the leaders of both sides work hard for it, it can't be said that there is no such possibility. Then he said with emotion: "Now the person in charge of PLANT is Shi Geer; Klein, a kid, is a calm character, although his political views are a little weaker. But in the current situation, it is likely that the next person to come to power will be Patrick; Sarah, that military madman, he doesn't lose a good talker, and I'm afraid the final scene will only get bigger and bigger. ”

"And what about the leaders on the side of the United Earth Government?" I continued to ask with interest.

"Them?" The old man sneered contemptuously, "I have been on Earth for a total of forty years, but I have never seen those bureaucrats do anything commendable. The so-called coalition government of the planet is not yet a boring trick played by a bunch of wishful hegemonists. Without the powerful field presence of PLANT, this nominal coalition government would have collapsed internally. Those countries on the planet have become completely corrupt. ”

Listening to the old man's somewhat cynical words, I was a little gloomy. Although the longevity of the country is only a distant myth, I still feel a lot of emotion when I hear that the world I once knew has come to this point. The democratic republican system, which has lasted for hundreds of years, may also be time for a change.

In the interval between the old man's remarks, I finally found an opportunity to ask, "I would like to ask you, old man, is the name of the Baloka von Findtrad you just mentioned, and his wife's name is Joanna Schöpp?" ”

"That's right, that's the name, I didn't expect you to even know this." The old man looked at me in surprise: "Joanna was an influential councillor at the time, and she was in a space crash three months after Baroka's death, and she also went with Baroka. ”

"If you had known my name, you probably wouldn't have had that question." I smiled wryly, "My name is Leonard von Finterrad, and as for the two people you just mentioned, they should be my two irresponsible parents." ”

"How is this possible?" The old man looked at me with wide eyes: "This kind of thing is too unfounded, I never heard that Baroka and Joanna had children when they died." ”

"Have you forgotten that we also have a gene management department at PLANT? They have a stock of fertilized eggs from all the couples in PLANT, and it would be easy to create a child for a dead couple. You only need to go to the archives there to check it, and you will know that they are all more than ten years old, and there is no way to pretend to be them. ”

"Of course I knew PLANT had this department." The old man gradually calmed down, stared at me and said, "When Baroka and Joanna died, I thought about letting them leave them a descendant through genetic technology, but Dr. Cameron, the head of the genetic management department at that time, told me that due to the mismanagement of my subordinates, the fertilized egg had lost its vitality, so I ......"

The old man's meaning was very clear, since the fertilized egg had been determined to be dead, where did I, who claimed to be the descendant of his old friend, come from?

"When I was still fertilized......," I began to explain to the old man, but how did it sound so awkward. Ahem, when you went to ask Dr. Cameron about it, he didn't tell you the truth at all. At that time, I had been taken into the laboratory by the old madman to carry out his crazy experiment, and I managed to survive after a lot of hardship

…………

Eventually, I was sent to an orphanage, and when I was two months old, the new head of the genetic management department found out my background in the database. That's how it is. ”

After listening to my words, the old man looked at me very calmly, looked at me quietly, and said: "Although your words sound very absurd and bizarre, but I, an old man who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, is still two points confident in his own eyes, and you don't look like a person who can lie casually. And it should be impossible to falsify information about you, unless someone started calculating it twenty years ago. Therefore, I will believe half of your words for the time being, and I will wait until I send someone to verify it. ”

At the end, the old man sighed and said, "It's old, it's really old." If it weren't for the fact that Baroka had been living in seclusion since his death, those juniors wouldn't have dared to disturb me, and I should have heard some rumors about such a big thing. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't leave his head, and his distant back looked very chic, but he was convenient, but he didn't even leave his name for me, and I was confused. Frankly, I don't know very well about my parents in my life, I only know that one of them is the commander of the fleet, the other is a councilor, and that's it. During my years at PLANT, I never asked about their stories, because I never thought of them as parents, they just used their fertilized eggs to provide me with a vehicle to continue my life that should have died in the 21st century. And I thought that I would never cross paths with them in my life, but now, sixteen years later, for the first time, I have the heart to inquire into the past of these two people's lives.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt my shoulders sink. When I looked back, I saw that Speaker Shgar was looking at me with an unusually puzzled look.
