Tanaka's stage is placed in such a long and vast alternate world, but it still tells about the "naïve" human society.
Personally, I think what he wants to say is that the status quo is the result of the past, and the future is the shadow of the present. Regarding the scientific and technological loopholes mentioned by the author, in fact, it is very clear in the silver mile, because human radio wave weapon technology has been the ultimate development, and there are constantly mutually restrictive technologies, so the combat mode returns to the original "rough" state: interference and anti-interference make communication carrier pigeons, laser weapons and refraction technology make laser weapons and refractive shields more and more powerful, infantry combat laser weapons are ineffective against armored soldiers, making cold weapons return... Wait a minute
The result was that the battle grew larger and larger, eventually evolving into a fleet battle. Peace was the greatest enemy of the munitions industry, and it was something they did not want to see for the relevant stakeholders in the Empire and the League (such as Mrs. Windsor of the Supreme Council of the League, and later Trance, all of which were once associated with the "kickbacks" of the munitions industry, and others were no exception. Otherwise, why do you think Marshal Seatney needed Young so much to stay and balance the main war faction. ）
Before the water friend said right, this is more of a political drama, you have to think about a blind and confident general, the mentality and behavior when grabbing merit, although the relationship between the generals is quite good and trustworthy, but in fact, several generals themselves are mutually restraining relationship (because of democracy, do not want the military to dominate). The Federal generals were all up for years, and they had participated in many battles themselves, believing that the war could be done step by step. Then there is the understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army under the federal democracy. The fourth episode should have a specific description of the Allies.
I remember that the intelligence of this Imperial invasion was obtained in advance through Fraser, and the allies psychologically thought they had the upper hand. This encirclement strategy is again a model of an earlier victory, which has the need for propaganda. There is also a reason why the Commanders of the Allied fleets are resistant to changing tactics. Then there is the fact that the three fleets are drawn too close on the schematic diagram, which should have been out of reach of each other in the cosmic space, and the Imperial side accelerated its early contact, hitting the time difference.
