The VEGAN army moved towards the federal territory in a large scale, and even the Downs Fortress, which had been sitting firmly in the rear, also joined the army this time.
"Our operational 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 narration, everyone present at the meeting exclaimed in surprise.
"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 Nordrum has greatly improved our army's supply skills, and the satellite residents can be used as both labor force and hostages. The enemy will not be able to easily attack us." Medel Sant said for Jha
Te added.
"But! The possibility of success in this kind of battle..."
"This is Lord Izelkandar's will."
As soon as these words came out, those who had originally opposed the idea all stopped and fell silent. Izelkandar's order was absolute to them, and they could not refute it even if they knew it was wrong.
"To take back our homeland, the Earth, from the ignorant and incompetent Earth species! The time has come to fight!"
The meeting was dissolved, and everyone returned to their original posts with doubts and uneasiness. Dole Frost and the other three followed Gerhardt to his office.
"Commander Gerhat, this operation is too dangerous, and the chance of success is extremely slim!"
"Furthermore, the morale of our army is still at a low stage. It is impossible for the Earth Federation to watch us occupy Nordram."
"Even if we succeed by luck in the end, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not only will it not have enough ability to control Nordram, but it will also be unable to resist the Earth Federation's counterattack. Does the commander really intend to use the satellite residents to threaten the Earth Federation?"
"Please ask the commander to change the battle plan!"
The three guards persuaded each other.
"Dor, Offa, Dieter, unfortunately, I can't change the battle plan. This is an invasion operation personally drawn up by Lord Izelkandar." Gerhat replied.
"How could it be..." There were disappointment and unwillingness on the faces of the three people. Gerhart's meaning was obvious. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he was still controlled by Izelkandar. If he wanted to change the battle plan, he could
Izelkandar must nod.
"Commander Gerhart, can you give Lord Izelkandar some advice?" 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 executing the unintended battle plan.
Gerhart 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 could not deal with him, and the others
Everyone obeyed his orders, and Daz Roden, Medel Sant and others fully supported him.
But most of those who support him do so subconsciously because of Izerkanda's influence. The person they respect and recognize is Izerkanda, not Gerhardt. The remaining small number of people are basically low-level people.
, if you don’t have your own thinking, you just listen to whoever comes up.
Only the three members of the Guards truly recognized and respected him.
"...Doll, Offa, Dieter, can I trust you?" Gerhat asked after thinking for a while.
"Commander Gerhart!" The three men suddenly looked up and were stunned.
Can you trust them? Of course you can!
After experiencing several battles, they have sincerely recognized this young commander, whether it is his ability or philosophy, or his 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, he still agreed first before knowing what happened next.
"Then I hope you can believe in me just like I believe in you." Gerhardt said to the three of them.
"Yes!" X3
"Lord Izelkandar's plan is not just as simple as occupying Nordram. Even... Lord Izelkandar had no intention of making this plan succeed from the beginning."
"What do you want!?"
Gerhart raised his hand and pressed it down, 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 Izelkandar...why do you do this?"
"Lord Izelkandar's 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 question is...after it succeeds, how many people in the entire army will survive? And how many people will be unaware of it?
Being treated as an outcast?
"Commander Gerhart, 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 will not allow the final stage of the plan to be leaked in advance. On the way down, everyone must stay hidden and must not be discovered by the Earth Federation. Otherwise, there will be no way to lurk on the earth, and all previous 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." Gerhat said.
"Lord Gerhart..." Doll Frost was silent for a while, and changed his name to Gerhart, "...why do you want to tell us?"
The answer to this question 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 Gerhard!? Are you going to betray..."
"I will not betray VEGAN, nor will I betray my compatriots." Gerhart said firmly, "I respect Lord Izelkandar very much. It is he who has brought hope of survival to us and to the people of VEGAN.
, let us have the opportunity to return to our hometown, to Eden, Dole, Offa, and Dieter, and recall carefully the tragic situation 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 and not die from strange diseases without knowing when, this is a goal that must be completed!"
"Then why did you..."
"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 Gerhardt..."
"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 should we really hate all Earthlings because of a few worms? Are there no worms inside VEGAN?
?”
"So you want to... negotiate peace with the Federation?"
"Yes, but not now. First, we need to borrow the hands of Fleet Asuka and Yang Hui to clean up the rotten federation and create the possibility for peace talks. Otherwise, those people only care about their own interests and status.
It is impossible to accept 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 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 winners instead of letting them pity us!"
This is the path that Gerhart found, to win the final victory in the war, negotiate with the Earth Federation, and strive for more opportunities and benefits for the people of VEGAN.
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 with equal equality.
The posture blends and coexists with them.
"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 than Izerkanda's propaganda that just draws a pie, and it is also more implementable and has a higher success rate.
At the same time, it can reduce the sacrifices 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 Gerhart was very nervous inside because he was not sure, and 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!"
"I am deeply moved by your will, Lord Gerhart, and I am willing to follow you."
"Lord Gerhart, please allow me to fight alongside you."
To Gerhart's relief, the three of them did not hesitate for too long before handing over their loyalty to Gerhart.
The three of them were not deceived by Gerhart and agreed as soon as their heads were hot. Instead, they sincerely recognized Gerhart's plan and were willing to fight for it.
"Thank you." Gerhat 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 the first group of people who were related to him.
Like-minded companions.
"Then, I want to issue the first order to you, as Gerhard Garrett."
"Please give your order."
"Live! No matter how difficult it is, live! Then join me in opening up a bright future for our compatriots!"
"Yes!" X3
