Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 172 Gerhardt's Way, Vegan's Way

The VEGAN army moved towards the federal territory in a big way, and even the Downs Fortress, which had been sitting firmly in the rear, joined the team this time.

"Our combat goal this time is to occupy the important production satellite of the Earth's sphere - Nordrum. After completion, we will forcibly dock it with the mobile fortress Downs and use it as a frontline base for attacking the Earth!"

"Oh~!"

After listening to Gerhardt's narration, all the participants exclaimed.

"Are you kidding!? This kind of thing..." Dole Frost retorted in horror. In his opinion, this kind of operation has no possibility of success.

"Using the industrial production capacity in Nordrum, our army's supply skills have been greatly improved, and satellite residents can be used as labor force and hostages at the same time. The enemy will not be able to easily attack us." Medel Sant for Jha Te added.

"But! The possibility of success in this kind of operation..."

"This is Lord Izerkanda's will."

As soon as these words came out, all the people who originally had objections died down and kept silent. Izerkanda's order was absolute to them, and they could not refute it even if they knew it was wrong.

"To take back our homeland, Earth, from the ignorant and incompetent species of Earth! It's time to fight!"

The meeting was dissolved, and everyone returned to their original posts with doubts and anxiety. The three of Dole Frost followed Gerhardt all the way to his office.

"Commander Gerhardt, this operation is too dangerous, and the chance of success is extremely slim!"

"And the morale of our army is still in a slump. It is impossible for the Earth Federation to watch us occupy Nordrum."

"Even if we get lucky in the end, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not only will we not be able to control Nordrum, but we will also be unable to resist the Earth Federation's counterattack. Is the commander really planning to use satellite residents to blackmail the Earth Federation?"

"Also ask the commander to change the battle plan!"

The three guards persuaded one after another.

"Dor, Offa, Dieter, unfortunately, I can't change the battle plan. This is an aggressive battle personally planned by Lord Izerkanda." Gerhardt replied.

"How come..." The faces of the three were disappointed and unwilling. Gerhardt's meaning was obvious. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he was still restrained by Izerkanda. If he wanted to change the battle plan, he had to Izerkanda had to nod.

"Commander Gerhardt, can you persuade Lord Izerkanda?" asked Dole Frost.

"Do you think I want to carry out such a plan?" Gerhardt asked the three of them in a bad tone.

"This... is our rudeness." The three of Dole Frost lowered their heads, feeling very ashamed after hearing the words, knowing that they were still blaming Gerhardt for insisting on carrying out the reckless battle plan.

Gerhardt looked at the three of them, saw that they really understood him, bowed his head in shame, and felt a sense of recognition that he had never felt in the army. The only three remaining members of the [Magic Man] unit did not deal with him, and the others They all obeyed his orders, and Daz Roden and Medel Sant fully supported him.

But most of these people who supported him subconsciously obeyed because of the influence of Izerkanda. The person they respected and recognized was Izerkanda, not Jerhardt. The remaining small number of people were basically low-level personnel. , I don’t have my own thinking, I just listen to whoever gets on.

Only the three members of the pro-guards truly recognized and respected him.

"... Dole, Offa, Dieter, can I trust you?" Gerhardt asked after thinking for a while.

"Commander Gerhardt!" The three raised their heads suddenly and were stunned.

Can they be trusted?sure!

Having gone through several battles, they have sincerely recognized the young commander, whether it is ability or philosophy, or more importantly, consciousness and will.

But... when they asked this question at this time, they felt an awkward feeling, as if...

"Of course, Commander Gerhardt." Dole Frost said first, no matter what Gerhardt meant, but he agreed first before he could know what happened next.

"Then I hope to believe in me just like I believe in you." Gerhardt said to the three.

"Yes!" X3
"Lord Izerkanda's plan is not just as simple as occupying Nordrum, even... Lord Izerkanda didn't intend to make this plan succeed from the beginning."

"What are you talking about!?"

Gerhart raised his hand to press down, calming down the three of them, and continued to tell the three of them the whole picture of Izerkanda's so-called "Perfect Invasion Plan".

"This! How is this possible!?"

"Master Izerkanda...why did you do this?"

"Master Izerkanda's plan is indeed perfect, and the final success is doomed, but..."

All three of them understood why it was called the "perfect" invasion plan. It can be said that this plan is bound to succeed, but the question is... after the success, how many people in the entire army will survive?How many people will be regarded as abandoned children without knowing it?
"Commander Gerhardt, why didn't you tell everyone the full battle plan?" asked Dole Frost.

But as soon as he asked this question, he regretted it, because he had already guessed the answer.

"Master Izerkanda does not allow the final stage of the plan to be leaked in advance. On the way down, everyone must be concealed and must not be discovered by the Earth Federation. Otherwise, there is no way to lurk on the earth, and all previous sacrifices will be in vain. So when the ostensible battle plan is about to fail, everyone will receive a secret order to execute the final stage," Gerhardt said.

"Master Gerhardt..." Dole Frost was silent for a while, and changed his address to Gerhardt, "...why did you tell us?"

The answer to this question is important to them because it concerns their loyalty.

"If... I mean, if, one day in the future, I stand opposite Lord Izerkanda, you... will you still believe in me like now?" Gerhardt asked the three of them.

"Master Gerhardt!? Are you going to betray..."

"I will not betray VEGAN, nor will I betray my compatriots." Gerhardt said firmly, "I respect Lord Izerkanda very much, it is he who brought hope of survival for us and the people of VEGAN , Let us have the opportunity to return to our hometown, Eden, Dole, Offa, Dieter, let’s recall carefully, the tragedy of our hometown, the barren land, and the people who may be lost at any time.

Arriving in Eden is not only our goal, but also their long-cherished wish. In order to go home, so as not to die because of a strange disease, this is a goal that must be accomplished! "

"Then why did you..."

"Master Izerkanda has changed, or... old, with the continuation of the war, I have found a different path from Lord Izerkanda, and this path should be what we are fighting for. direction," Gerhardt said.

"Lord Gerhardt..."

"It cannot be denied that we were Earthlings back then, and it was the Federation that abandoned us and our ancestors, leaving us to fend for ourselves, but should we really hate all Earthlings because of individual moths? Didn't moths appear in VEGAN? ?”

"So you want to...negotiate with the Federation?"

"That's right, but not now. First of all, we need to use the hands of Fleet Asuno and Yang Hui to clean up the decayed Federation and create possibilities for peace talks. Otherwise, those people who only care about their own interests and status It is impossible to accept our existence; then, defeat the Earth Federation!"

"Beat the federation? Isn't it necessary to negotiate peace?" Offa asked.

"Yes, but VEGAN must negotiate peace with the Earth Federation as a winner. VEGAN's technological level is indeed higher than that of the Earth Federation, but VEGAN is at a disadvantage in terms of population, resources, and territory, so ordinary peace talks will only make VEGAN continue. Being suppressed by the Earth Federation, the lives of our compatriots will not change much.

So we must win this war and stand in front of them as victors instead of letting them pity us! "

This is the path Gerhardt found, to win the final victory of the war, to negotiate with the Earth Federation, and to fight for more opportunities and benefits for the people of VEGAN.

It is impossible for people on earth to be extinct, and it is impossible to be enslaved by VEGAN. Throughout human history, there must be resistance when there is oppression. Gesture merges and coexists with them.

"Master Gerhardt..." The three of them were shocked by Gerhardt's plan and ideal.

There are some conflicts with Izerkanda's propaganda, but the clear phased goals are more convincing than Izerkanda's propaganda, and they are more implementable and have a higher success rate. At the same time, it can reduce the sacrifice of compatriots.

Let the three people think in their hearts that this should be a more suitable path for VEGAN to move forward.

"So Dole, Offa, Dieter, are you willing to believe in me, follow me, and move towards this goal together?" Gerhardt asked the three.

The tone was flat, as if he was sure that the three would agree from the beginning, but Gerhardt was very nervous because he was not sure, and he knew the status of Izerkanda in VEGAN very well.

So Gerhardt quietly held the pistol hidden under the table. If the three refused, they would immediately silence them. They must not be allowed to leak their plans.

"Master Gerhardt, I am willing to follow in your footsteps!"

"Your will deeply moved me, Master Gerhardt, and I am also willing to follow you."

"Master Gerhardt, please allow me to fight by your side."

To Gerhardt's relief, the three of them didn't struggle for too long, and handed over their loyalty to Gerhardt.

The three of them were not fooled by Gerhardt and agreed as soon as their heads got hot, but they sincerely approved of Gerhardt's plan and were willing to fight for it.

"Thank you." Gerhardt stood up and bowed to the three of them. He was very moved and excited, because at this time his plan was considered to have taken the first step forward, and he had found the first group of people who were similar to himself. Like-minded companions.

"Then, I would like to issue the first order to you, as Gerhard Garrett."

"Please order."

"Live! Live no matter how difficult it is! Then join me in opening up a bright future for my fellow citizens!"

"Yes!" X3
