Fighting at the tactical level is called war, a world dominated by a limited battle.
"Hurry... hurry..."
So I learned something called strategy from history, and maybe I thought I was the only one who knew it. Maybe there was strong pride there.
"Please, make it..."
I couldn't find my enemies in Katsushika. It wouldn't be zero chance of being cleverly hidden either, but that was harder to think about than having Etta.
The enemy is already on its way to the Alpha system.
Taro keeps looking forward with his bloody eyes as he fights the urge to strangle himself. It's usually the Imperial Alpha Route that should be busy in the trading fleet, but I don't see anything now.
"It's time to drive out, Mr. Taylor"
Vibrations strike the ship as usual, eventually ending with a high sound. When Taro overheard the sound in a depressed mood, he silently ran a wide-area scan.
".................. so"
Radar sends information about the surrounding objects, stations, and ships.
"... I tried so hard"
The station seemed safe. But around Stargate, countless ships and massive debris were shown.
Traces of obvious destruction.
"Goddamn... Goddamn..."
Holding your head in, the tall that drips. Naughty and apathetic dominate the whole body, whimpering leaks. Marl has tears in his eyes and his gripping fist is shaking small.
………………
Silent hours pass, and only the noise of the engine echoes on the bridge. A feeling of irresistible loss, as if all previous efforts had been denied.
"I don't know what to do..."
Words that squealed with blush. It wasn't expecting answers, it was just whining.
Coming in from the forward fleet, Mr. Taylor.
…………
"Mr. Taylor?"
"... I know. I'm leaving."
Taro to open communications and close his eyes. Probably talking about stopping the futile fighting. If the Stargate between the Alpha system and the Imperial Centre is destroyed, it may be said that the future has been decided. Even if you attack your opponent here, some resentment may clear up, but if you say so, that's it.
"" ………… ""
A wild, low voice, heard from a comms machine. When Taro opens his eyes with a victory, he wakes up his body.
".................. haha"
Nature and leaky voice. The crying face becomes even more distorted and the laughter creeps up. Marl leans his neck strangely and Xiao Mei is turning around without saying anything.
"" Oh man, the stuffing is sweet, you fucking kid. You're an adult who wipes his ass. ""
Taro makes the laughter even louder at that grumpy voice. Gradually, Marl also noticed the Lord of that voice and began to laugh just like Taro.
"" When did you suddenly laugh? "Hey, are you listening, kid?" "
"Haha, bad bad bad. Thanks, Dingo."
""... well, I'll let you demand your share later, huh? I hope it's too soon to say thank you. ""
"Hehe, right...... by the way, is Stargate safe?
"No, it's not like you're perfectly safe. There were people shooting from afar with rashes. He's been hit with some bullets. The transfer capability may drop to about half for a while, but it will be repairable for a month."
"Oh well... good..."
Taro looking at the tactical screen and checking his surroundings again. The fleet near Stargate belongs to White Dingo, and Debris was once a stealth fleet.
"So... really, really, now you win?
Soon Marr, who had come to the side, puts his hand on Taro's shoulder. Taro looked up and answered looking straight at her face.
"Ah. Our winner."
of the spacious bridge, where one old man was shaking his legs in frustration, spewing words of bumps and curses.
"Why... why did this happen... isn't the story too different"
Hit the seat hard and look wide open at the red, congested eyes. He used BISHOP to call sailors as he mourned the disaster that had befallen him all the way down. Eventually one soldier shows up and salutes in front of him.
"What's up? Have you set sail yet? Sudden cancer and we're all tied up."
To the voice of the old man, a soldier nodding vaguely. The soldier checks the clock with an electronic tattoo dug in his left hand.
"It's about time. Rest assured. It's a route through the California route end, so it'll take a lot of time. We'll do a cold sleep."
To the words of a soldier, a silent old man nodding. Given the short life left to him, you can't spend long trips on it.
"I guess there's no problem?
Tight pain in the neck. Sleep transducers slowly prune the old man's consciousness.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Rest in peace."
Soldier in polite condition, smiling. As he slowly walks over to the old man, he pulls off the descent lever of the refrigerated sleep device.
"Well... by the way... you... I don't see you..."
With a hazy consciousness, the old man whines with his eyes closed. When the soldier turned to the old man, he replied the moment the capsule cover closed.
"My name is Phantom. Can I call you your biological son?
The old man tried to open his eyes, but could not resist the power of the medicine.
Enzio, the war waged between the EAPs ended in an EAP victory due to the destruction of the main fleet.
The report was soon delivered to all of the universe on the Alpha side, and the skirmishes that were taking place everywhere soon converged. The people who belonged to the EAP cheered, and the people who belonged to Enzio all leaned down in darkness.
But after a while, such a person on Enzio's side would stroke his chest down as well.
Because all the deceptions made by the Enzio leaders were exposed under the day.
Citizens of Enzio territory naturally went mad, but were at the same time at ease. If the opponent you were fighting is not the empire itself, at least merciless retaliation can be avoided.
"But what's gonna happen to us now?
The vast majority of the general public does not know the jewelry of what the Allies have done. But still, the fact that it carried out indiscriminate attacks against the enemy's general public is widely known, and it was nothing more than an unacceptable act, than the repression of the empire was a lie.
"Will the whole area be placed under the control of the EAP? I'm not kidding. That was done by the military on its own, wasn't it?
"Know what? From the other side, the military and civilians will be the same. In fact, you could have offered us a ship, right?
"You pulled it off in the second half!! And we were just fooled!!
Yeah, but nothing like that, people talked to each other about the future. It wasn't the kind of thing that would give you an answer if you thought about it, but it wasn't the kind of thing that you wouldn't think about.
And that's exactly what the meeting to decide was about to take place now in the heart of Little Tokyo.
"Now for post-war processing in the war between EAP Enzio. I would like to move on to this as an agenda for the meeting."
Lynn raised her voice softly, and the whole conference room nodded deeply. Nearly a hundred human beings surround the table of the round table, behind which the parties concerned are sloppily lined up. Some of them looked like Taro or Marr, and they were located right next to Lynn. With the exception of the Sakura, which sits next to the opposite, the closest place to the upper seat.
"As you all know, war itself is in keeping with the rights recognized by the Empire, and we are not going to touch on how responsible it is at this meeting right now. What is at issue is an attack on the general public, and it concerns its treatment. May I?
Lynn speaks as chairman and looks around. Someone raises their hand and stands up.
"That's right, but do we treat it apart from our claims for compensation for the war?
"I think it will. Instead, we have to. Reports are up that the Enzio Alliance government is currently out of communication and in a state of total chaos. Perhaps the Allied government will be dismantled as it is."
"You mean you're going to lose your billing address... with their remaining assets, at least you can pay compensation for the war?
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking. A considerable number will be paid in kind for ships, etc., but I think it will be sufficient for the payment of general compensation. But the problem is..."
Lynn turns around and looks up at the screen. There was a view of the destroyed space station, accompanied by an indication of the total astronomical damage.
"Regarding these amounts, no matter how you squeeze them, you won't be able to get them out first. It will probably be a claim against Enzio territory itself...... then it is unprecedented. It's irrelevant. Will they pay?
To Lynn's voice, with a difficult face to shut up with. Under the limited war, only companies that participated in it could be compensated, but not this time either. It exceeds its capacity to pay too much, nor does it exist the option of giving up the levy because of the circumstances. If we do that, there will be a riot within the EAP.
"Is this Enzio's claim against the general company… I'm sure it will be met to some extent, but beyond that, it will be a continuation of the war. Oh, no, should I call it a new war?
"I'm not kidding. No more succession is possible. If both sides play total force in the true sense, all we wait for is each other's ruin"
"Again, we need to discuss it directly with the other side...... let's organise a delegation"
The same gaze gathers to Lynn. When Lynn answered by nodding at it, she turned her gaze right to her side.
"Yeah, let's do that. The candidates are Little Tokyo and Takasaki."
Taro, who was half asleep, notices strangely and looks up.
"And let's go with Mr. Taylor of Rising Sun. Gentlemen, if you have an opinion, please."
The conference hall was going to be quiet and a decision.
