Chapter 172 Gerhardt’s Road, VEGAN’s Road
The VEGAN army moved towards the federal territory in large numbers. Even the Downs Fortress, which had been sitting firmly in the rear, also joined the army this time.
“Our goal this time is to occupy Nordram, an important production satellite in the Earth’s circle. After completion, we will forcibly dock it with the Mobile Fortress Downs and use it as a frontline base to conquer the Earth! ”
“Oh~! ”
After listening to Gerhardt’s story, everyone in the meeting exclaimed.
"Are you kidding!? This kind of thing..." Doll Frost retorted in horror. In his opinion, there was no possibility of success in this kind of battle.
“Utilizing the industrial production capacity in Nordram will greatly improve our army’s supply skills, and the satellite residents can be used as both labor force and hostages, so the enemy will not be able to easily attack us.” Medel · Sant added for Gerhardt.
"But! The possibility of success in this kind of battle..."
"This is Lord Izelkandar's will."
As soon as these words came out, originally Those who opposed the idea all stopped and remained silent. Izelkandar's order was absolute to them, and they could not refute it even if they knew it was wrong.
"In order to take back our hometown, the Earth, from the ignorant and incompetent Earth species! The time has come to fight!"
The meeting was disbanded, and everyone returned to their original posts with doubts and uneasiness. Dole Frost and the three of them went all the way Followed Gerhart to his office.
"Commander Gerhat, this operation is too dangerous, and the chance of success is very slim!"
"And the morale of our army is still in a low period. The Earth Federation cannot just watch us occupy it. "Nodram."
"Even if we succeed in the end, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not only will it not have enough ability to control Nodram, but it will also be unable to resist the counterattack of the Earth Federation. Does the commander really intend to use it? Are the satellite residents threatening the Earth Federation? ”
"Please ask the commander to change the battle plan!"
The three members of the Guards persuaded him one after another.
"Dor, Offa, Dieter, unfortunately, I cannot change the battle plan. This is an invasion operation personally drawn up by Lord Izelkandar." Gerhat replied.
"How could it be..." There was disappointment and unwillingness on the faces of the three people. Gerhat's meaning was obvious. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he was still controlled by Izelkandar. If you want to change the battle plan, Izelkandar must nod.
"Commander Gerhart, can you please advise Lord Izelkandar?" Doll Frost requested.
"Do you think I want to implement such a plan?" Gerhart asked the three of them in a bad tone.
"This... is rude of us." Dole Frost and the other three lowered their heads, feeling ashamed after hearing this, knowing that just now they were still blaming Gerhard for insisting on carrying out the plan. battle plan.
Jerhart looked at the three people and saw that they really understood him. He bowed his head in shame and felt a sense of identity that he had never felt in the army. The only three remaining people in the [Demon] army and If he doesn't deal with it, everyone else obeys his orders, and people like Daz Roden and Medel Sant fully support him.
But most of those who support him do so subconsciously because of Izelkanda’s influence. The person they respect and recognize is Izerkanda, not Gerhardt. The rest of the small Some people are basically at the bottom, they don’t have their own thinking and they just listen to whoever comes up.
Only the three members of the Guards truly recognized and respected him.
"...Dor, Offa, Dieter, can I trust you?" Gerhat asked after thinking for a while.
“Commander Gerhat!” The three men suddenly looked up and were stunned.
Can you trust them? sure!
After experiencing several battles, they have sincerely recognized this young commander, whether it is ability or philosophy, or consciousness and will.
But... when they asked this question at this time, they felt an awkward feeling, as if...
"Of course, Commander Gerhart." Dole Frost said first. No matter what Gerhart meant, he still agreed first before knowing what was going on.
"Then I hope you can believe in me just as I believe in you." Gerhart said to the three of them.
“Yes!” Intend to make this plan a success."
"What do you want?"
Gerhart raised his hand and pressed it, letting the three of them calm down, and continued to tell the three of them the full story of Izelkandar's so-called "Perfect Invasion Plan".
"This! How is this possible!?"
"Lord Izelkanda...why do you do this?"
"Lord Izelkanda's The plan is indeed perfect, and the final success is destined, but..." The three of them all understood why it was called the "perfect" invasion plan. It can be said that this plan is bound to succeed, but the problem is... After success, the entire army How many people will survive? How many people will be treated as outcasts without knowing it?
"Commander Gerhardt, why don't you inform everyone of the complete battle plan?" Doll Frost asked.
But as soon as he asked this question, he regretted it because he had already guessed the answer.
“Lord Izelkandar does not allow the final stage of the plan to be leaked in advance. On the way down, everyone must hide and must not be discovered by the Earth Federation. Otherwise, there is no way to lurk on the earth. The previous All sacrifices will be in vain, so when the apparent battle plan is about to fail, everyone will receive secret orders to execute the final stage.
"Lord Gerhardt..." Doll Frost was silent for a while, and changed his name to Gerhardt, "...why do you want to tell us?"
This question The answer is important to them because it relates to their loyalty.
"If... I mean if, one day in the future, Lord Izelkandar and I stand on opposite sides, will you... still believe in me like you do now?" Gerhart asked the three of them.
"Lord Gerhart!? Are you going to betray..."
"I will not betray VEGAN or my compatriots." Gerhart said firmly, "I I respect Lord Izelkandar very much. It was he who brought hope of survival to us, to the people of VEGAN, and gave us the opportunity to return to our hometown, to Eden, Dole, Offa, and Dieter. Carefully Recall the tragic situation of our hometown, the barren land, and the people who may be lost at any time.
Reaching Eden is not only our goal, but also their long-cherished wish, in order to go home and not be weird. Disease and not knowing when to die, this is a goal that must be achieved."
"Then why..."
"Lord Izelkanda has changed, or rather... has aged. As the war continues, I have found a path that is different from Lord Izelkanda, and this road should be what we strive for. direction." Gerhat said.
"Lord Gerhard..."
"It cannot be denied that it was the Earthlings and the Federation who abandoned us and our ancestors and left us to fend for ourselves, but we really should Is it because a few borers hate all people on earth? Are there no borers in VEGAN? "
"So you want to... negotiate with the Federation?"
"That's right. But not now. First, we need to use the hands of Fleet Asuka and Yang Hui to clean up the rotten federation and create the possibility for peace talks. Otherwise, those people who only care about their own interests and status will not be able to accept it. of our existence; then, defeat the Earth Federation!”
"Defeat the Federation? Don't you want peace talks?" Offa asked.
“Yes, but VEGAN must negotiate peace with the Earth Federation as a winner. VEGAN’s technological level does exceed that of the Earth Federation, but VEGAN is at a disadvantage in terms of population, resources, and territory, so ordinary The peace talks will only make VEGAN continue to be suppressed by the Earth Federation. As a result, the lives of our compatriots will not change much.
So we must win this war and stand as a winner. In front of them, instead of letting them pity us!"
This is the path that Gerhat found to win the final victory of the war, negotiate with the Earth Federation, and win more for the people of VEGAN! opportunities and benefits.
It is impossible for the people on earth to be exterminated, and it is impossible to be enslaved by VEGAN. Throughout the history of mankind, if there is oppression, there will be resistance. VEGAN cannot trample the people of earth under its feet with a superior attitude. , but integrate and coexist with them as equals.
"Lord Gerhart..." The three of them were shocked by Gerhart's plans and ideals.
There is some conflict with Izerkanda's propaganda, but the clear staged goals are more convincing, more implementable and more practical than Izerkanda's propaganda that just draws a big pie. A higher success rate while reducing the sacrifice of compatriots.
The three of them believed from the bottom of their hearts that this should be a more suitable path forward for VEGAN.
"So Dole, Offa, Dieter, are you willing to believe in me, follow me, and move towards this goal together?" Gerhat asked the three of them.
The tone was calm, as if he was sure that the three of them would agree from the beginning, but Gerhardt was very nervous because he was not sure. He knew very well what kind of status Izelkanda had in VEGAN.
So Gerhard quietly held the pistol hidden under the table. If the three refused, he would immediately silence them and never let them leak their plans.
“Lord Gerhardt, I am willing to follow in your footsteps!”
“Your will has deeply moved me, Lord Gerhardt, I am also willing to follow you.”
>
"Lord Gerhardt, please allow me to fight alongside you."
What made Gerhardt breathe a sigh of relief was that the three of them did not hesitate for too long and put their Loyalty goes to Gerhat.
The three of them were not deceived by Gerhart and agreed immediately. Instead, they sincerely recognized Gerhart's plan and were willing to fight for it.
"Thank you." Gerhart stood up and bowed to the three of them. He was very moved and excited, because at this time, his plan took the first step forward and found He became the first group of like-minded companions.
"Then, I would like to issue the first order to you, as Gerhard Garrett."
"Please give the order."
" Live! No matter how difficult it is, live on! Then join me in creating a bright future for our compatriots!”
"Yes!" X3
