The Mech Touch

Chapter 6787 Knowing Too Much

Ves felt a bit depressed as he ended his call with Jovy.

He leaned back in his chair and looked around his private design lab.

The state of red humanity was deteriorating by the day. The native aliens had commenced their final push and seemed determined to break any semblance of

organized resistance.

Now, Ves just learned that Human High Command might not go out of their way to stop the fifth defensive band from getting breached.

If Ves was reading in between the lines correctly, Jovy's answers came with the ominous implication that failed defensive battles and the mass slaughter of human civilians may be a deliberate part of HHC's strategy!

While the Red Three and all of the states publicly proclaimed their determination to defend humanity's borders and value the life of every human, their leaders had secretly come to a consensus to sacrifice entire zones filled with defenseless civilians in order to stimulate the birth of god pilots!

Ves suddenly shuddered as he suddenly made a very cynical realization!

If his latest train of thought was true, then HHC never seriously thought about

defending all of human-occupied space from the start!

The strategists who shouldered the burden of finding a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat had made a cruel but arguably necessary calculation.

They effectively abandoned any serious attempt to defend the Lower Zones and the Middle Zones.

Transferring a lot of second-class ace pilots to the Upper Zones was just the most obvious manifestation of this strategic shift.

Ves feared that the major powers had already made other moves behind the scenes. None of it was obvious on the surface, so many second-raters and third-raters still believed that their protectors were doing the best they could to safeguard their lives and homes.
