Chapter 194 Blond Man in the Bar

The period known in history as the six months following the failure of the Second British Campaign.

side6 In a bar on the Balder Colony, a man wearing sunglasses and with medium-length blond hair exuded a melancholy temperament, causing the women in the bar to couldn't help but look sideways.

But he seemed to have not noticed this at all. He just sat at the bar and drank, and his attention was more on the men who were shouting in low voices at another table.

What is somewhat ridiculous is that in the plastic bag placed at this guy's feet, there are many maternal and child products, daily necessities and food ingredients, which is completely contrary to the impression given to everyone, and more like what a good family man would buy.

“We invited experts to help us understand the recent energy crisis…”

Bars like this with dim lighting and playing melodious jazz instead of exciting dance music will attract married men to come and occasionally relieve their boredom, but they also play content that criticizes current affairs.

"…Because the Federal Government failed to stop the remnants of Zeon, which led to the destruction of the Helium-3 storage base, the Earth has now been forced to enter a state of energy control. I think everyone knows this, right?"

As soon as this so-called expert started to attribute the energy shortage to the federal government's inaction, the man didn't want to listen anymore.

But the glass of whiskey in my hand is the first one in half a month. It would be a pity to give it up just like that.

He sighed slightly, exuding a more melancholy temperament. He took a sip and tried his best to ignore the sound of the TV broadcast.

"…Also, the Federation didn't do its best to intercept the falling colony satellite, and even used nuclear bombs to cause the colony satellite to disintegrate…"

Obviously, the man failed, and the noisy sound still continued to pour into his ears.

"Not only did they fail to protect the land on which we, the inhabitants of the universe, depend for our survival, but they also created a debris belt near the moon, which has had a significant impact on trade routes. I think the recent price increases are also due to this."

This is true. The prices of maternal and infant products have indeed increased a lot compared to last month.

However, the price of food has not fluctuated much for the time being.

This was naturally because the food production satellite of the Republic of Zeon was put into use, and a batch of quick-growing food was cultivated at the expense of taste, which temporarily stabilized the food price.

A female figure with the same blonde hair appeared in the man's mind.

I already knew from the last time we met that she was someone who could accomplish great things.

Just thinking of her, the man's guilt couldn't help but increase a little.

Why on earth am I still here, drinking leisurely?

Although he hated the fact that this expert was intentionally leading public opinion to question the federal government's actions, the man eventually began to think about it like everyone else in the bar.

"…However, the Federation has finally responded. General Revil, who secretly authorized the use of nuclear weapons during the Delaz Rebellion, which ultimately led to the destruction of the colony, has voluntarily resigned from his position as the governor of the space army…"

This news made the man stop drinking, and his blue eyes under his sunglasses looked seriously at the expert on TV for the first time.

Is this the answer that the Federation finally gave to the primary person responsible for the destruction of one-third of the space army's fleet and the wreckage belt of the colony satellite?

It turned out to be General Rebil?

As an eyewitness to the Nadiraz Rebellion, the man naturally knew the truth of everything.

Judging from what this expert said, the disintegration of the colony satellite was simply caused by a nuclear bomb hitting it.

However, the truth is that it was the nuclear bomb that truly defeated the Diraz fleet, and almost confirmed the victory of the Federation in regaining the colonial satellite.

What actually caused the disintegration of the colony satellite should be the solar system.

Was this hidden from the federal government?

But even so, it is not General Rebil's turn to be held responsible, and even so, he would not be asked to resign. "…General Rebil spent his entire life in the military and made great achievements, but he did not expect to end up like this. It is really not decent."

The man placed the whiskey glass in his hand on the bar, then motioned to the bartender to give him some more.

However, the price really makes the man feel a little painful - food prices have not risen for the time being, but it is foreseeable that in the future, there will be fewer glasses of old wine like this.

"However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has not yet decided on the next governor of the space army. It is generally believed that this candidate will be chosen from Admiral Tianm, who is known as the 'successor to Revil', and Admiral Green Wyatt, who has the support of the traditional space army."

Even those who are not familiar with the increasingly complicated situation of the Federal Army would have this thought.

However, Char believed that there must be a deal behind this appearance that was unknown to outsiders, otherwise how could General Rebil accept such an arrangement?

"But the Federal Parliament sent a bad signal to the Rebil faction - they approved a new round of military expansion draft for the Titans, a unit directly under their command and led by Brigadier General Basque."

Titans again?

This name has now become a powerful tool used by parents to intimidate disobedient children among the residents of the universe.

Catch the wind and suppress with force, this is the style of the Titans.

"As for the Rebil faction, the independent brigade that was once directly under General Rebil was taken over by General Jamitov and renamed after the Onde-Tek unit that had made outstanding contributions in the Diraz Rebellion. At the same time, it also sent a signal to the outside world that the organization would be expanded."

When talking about this, the expert's expression suddenly became solemn and he looked towards the camera.

At this moment, the man thought that the other person was looking at him.

"The Federation is still expanding its military even as the colonies are facing power cuts. It's clear that they haven't taken the survival of us space dwellers into consideration."

This tone is too Zeon-like.

The man complained in his heart.

What's more, the Federation's military expansion does not involve building new ships and MS, but simply reorganizing and incorporating existing forces.

But this is not surprising, after all, this is the Republic of Leia that bet on both sides during the One Year War.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next thing is...

"In comparison, AEUG has been calling on the Earth Federation to pay more attention to the current situation of space residents, but the demonstrations have been suppressed by the Titans..."

To be fair, the man actually has a good impression of the AUGO organization.

Because the other side not only shouted slogans, but also distributed food.

The proposal put forward by Aug also allowed the man to see ideas that he should agree with.

After watching the expert on the screen begin to steer the topic towards dissatisfaction with the Federation, the man no longer had any interest in listening any further. He drank the last of the wine in the glass in one gulp, then stood up and left.

"Hey, Mr. Covatro, you forgot your things."

The bartender, who was already familiar with this regular customer who came to drink every once in a while, reminded Mr. Covatro.

"Ah, thank you very much, those are quite important."

Kovatro smiled, went back to pick up the bag next to the chair, and then left this bar with pretty good taste.
