Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 6: Independence? Neutrality? The tragedy of a small country
Red found that after he activated the system and woke up, his mind seemed to become more flexible. He confirmed the current time and actual situation, and immediately had a general idea of ​​the subsequent plan.

First of all, the task given by the system is to defend the base against an attack by the Earth Union/ZAFT. What this means is that at least one of the Earth Union or ZAFT will definitely attack this colonial satellite for various reasons. This is unavoidable.

Then what Red has to do is very simple, he has to control the attack as much as possible, such as the target of the attack, the timing of the attack and so on.

In fact, the easiest way to complete this task is to directly and publicly support the Earth Union or PLANT, so that the opposing party will definitely attack you as a warning to others.

However, this method cannot guarantee that the party you support will support you, especially if they side with the Earth Union. They are likely to provide no support other than actual action.

Then Red will face the hellish difficulty when facing PLANT who comes with the attitude of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

The same is true in reverse. Given that PLANT is in urgent need of support from Earth's original forces, it shouldn't be the case that they won't even send a single soldier, leaving them to withstand the attack of the Earth's coalition forces.

But Red's identity is a big problem, as he is a pilot of the Earth Alliance Army who actually participated in the Junius Seven Massacre.

As long as the Earth Union finds out that he is on the side of PLANT and directly announces his identity, his reputation among PLANT will immediately turn into hatred. The Earth Union won't even have to take any action, he might be caught by ZAFT and thrown into jail.

So Red's actual situation now is that he can't stand on either side. The Earth Union is unreliable, and PLANT is even less reliable than the Earth Union before it solves its reputation problem.

Then neutrality is the only way Red can go. Now the Earth Union and PLANT are fighting at multiple locations at the same time, and the military forces of both sides are very tight.

If they are just dissatisfied with a neutral country that is almost destroyed, both sides will most likely ignore this small matter first and deal with this small country when they have time.

Especially the Eurasian Union, which is the most emotional, is fighting with PLANT and is about to be driven into the Mediterranean Sea. They have absolutely no time to care about the independence of a small city-state that has lost its land.

But with systematic intervention, fighting will definitely happen, but the attacking troops may not be large, because without political significance, neither side can spare a large force to attack. The pressure that Red faces may be less than if he directly joins one of the sides.

And now that the system has been activated, Red's ambition as a time traveler has gradually awakened. The more miserable he was oppressed by life before, the greater his rebound will be now. Anyway, Red doesn't want to live under someone else's roof anymore.

So Red explained to Angie in detail his ideas and reasons for declaring neutrality.

After describing it, surprisingly, An Qi did not object to Red's plan to jump back and forth between two powerful forces that could easily crush him. Instead, she praised him approvingly.

"Not bad. Although I have only known you for a dozen minutes, you have at least shown characteristics that satisfy me. I don't want to live under someone else's roof and have to obey other people's orders. Of course, don't get me wrong, I don't have any aversion to obeying your orders for the time being. After all, you are the one chosen by God, and judging from now, it is not certain whether your being chosen is a blessing or a curse."

After saying that, An Qi stood up and said again without waiting for Reid to reply.
"Alright, my Lord Commander now, are you able to stand up? Do you need me to get you something to eat?"

Red shook his head. The hangover he had felt when he woke up was gone. He didn't feel weak or hungry for the time being. Three months of vegetative life didn't seem to have brought him any side effects. Red could only attribute this phenomenon to the magic of the system. He stood up, put on his shoes, and said,
"No need. To be honest, I don't feel like I've been lying in bed for three months. Let's go to the factory you mentioned first. I haven't met Lucrezia Noin formally yet, but we're all in the same boat now. Since we can move, we might as well go say hello."

Seeing that Red was very agile and didn't look weak, Angie didn't object. She opened the door of the infirmary and led the way. After all, she had lived in this colony for three months. She was more familiar with the roads than Red, the master of the base who had been in a coma for three months.

However, after Red followed Angel out of the infirmary, Angel drove him into the colonial satellite. In this colonial satellite given by the system, Red felt the desolation of this place personally.

Large areas are flat, but they are covered with weeds. It seems that this colonial satellite still has a complete environmental circulation system.

However, Red saw people from afar near a few scattered buildings, and as Angel led the way, the number of people he didn't recognize increased.

So Red asked curiously
"Angie, so this colony satellite is inhabited? Are these the refugees you have gathered in the past three months?"

An Qi just shook her head at this question and then explained

"No, these people lived here before Noin and I came. But they don't seem to be real humans... Well, that's not accurate. They are humans, but their behavior patterns are closer to robots. Apart from the daily maintenance of this colony satellite, these people only have basic human activities such as eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet.

If you take the initiative to talk to them, they will almost always just listen to you. If you ask them something they know, they will answer. But if you order them to do something that is not related to work, they will refuse. They will say that Noin and I have no right to order them, so they will most likely only listen to your orders.

Oh, I forgot to mention that these people are all men. Noin and I counted them and there are about 3,000 of them. When we arrived, this colony satellite had stored enough water and food to support these 3,000 people for half a year. Although there are still two months left, you'd better find a way to get enough basic supplies to feed so many people. Otherwise, we will all starve to death."

After Anqi said this, Red finally understood why he had given so many food and drink items in the equipment pool. It turned out that he had a large family of NPCs to support, and the supplies he had drawn now were probably not enough to feed these three thousand people for half a month. However, the exchange of food and water in the mall was quite cheap, and a single-digit G-coin could be exchanged for a large amount. For example, 2 G-coins could be exchanged for ten tons of rice.

Now Red is more determined to remain neutral. You know, both the Earth Union and PLANT are short of food.

The Earth Union triggered an energy crisis under the influence of the neutron jammer, which in turn affected food production. This led to the direct destruction of a large number of small countries with weak risk resistance, and large forces like the Muslim Community, which originally had little land to produce food, were also on the verge of a life-and-death crisis.

The PLANT's food shortage problem is even greater. There has not been much breakthrough in space planting technology. The agricultural satellite Junius VII was also bombed, and a large number of scientific researchers died. If the Earth Oceania Union and the United States of South America did not support the PLANT, no matter how strong the mobile suits are, they will not be able to launch large-scale operations due to food problems.

But remember that the Atlantic Federation quickly dealt with the United States of South America after the war broke out. Now there should only be Oceania's joint support. PLANT's food crisis will soon come again. Now is my chance to reconcile with PLANT.

If the Battle of the Suez Canal is over and PLANT gains control of large tracts of land in North Africa, the possibility of achieving reconciliation through food will decrease rapidly.

Thinking of this, Red could only sigh in his heart, what a neutral country, this is the sorrow of a small country. If it is not independent and neutral, in the current environment, it is likely to be swallowed up by a big force. And even if it is neutral and independent, it can only survive by playing both sides. In the final analysis, only if you have enough military force in your hands can you make others talk to you properly.
