Chapter 428 Grandfather Paradox
After successfully convincing the members of the Germanic League that he was indeed from the future, Erich sat down with them and discussed at length the matters that were currently plaguing their movement.
Naturally in a society so brainwashed into ethno-masochism there were few men far and between who were willing to stand up and fight for the continued survival of their people and culture. Their numbers were limited to a few thousand men across the Germanic world.
And their equipment was mostly sourced from old weapon stockpiles from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Still, a bullet was a bullet, and even the soldiers of the European Union who wore advanced exoskeletons would suffer grievous injury or death if shot enough times.
To put it simply, without public support, and without the funding they needed, the Germanic League was on the losing side of this conflict. After coming to this understanding, as well as the current stagnation of advanced technology across the world.
Something that resulted from the economic burden that mass migration had caused to more developed nations. Erich understood that there was feasibly no way that the FTL drive had been developed by either the Germanic League, or their enemies.
Though, Erich’s words gave the insurgents hope that a future away from this wretched world which they despised was a possibility. If only they could get their hands on the funding, and resources necessary to invent this legendary FTL drive.
After a thorough discussion, Erich came to realize that the truth of the history regarding the founding of the Germanic Star-Empire was somewhere in the middle between the history which the Confederation of Human Worlds posed, IE the Germanic League were terrorists.
And the propaganda which the Germanic Star-Empire preached, which the Germanic League were separatists fighting for the right to have a homeland of their own, free from international occupation, and from the third worlders which flooded their homelands.
Ultimately, the Germanic League had no qualms harming civilians in their attacks, but it was not like these attacks were focused on the civilian population, rather they focused their efforts on politicians, international corporations who seemed to have an unnatural degree of authority in society, as well as the military and law enforcement agencies of the European Union.
Though civilian casualties were common, they were not intentional, but neither did the Germanic league care if a bunch of foreigners and “race traitors” got caught up in the conflict between them and the European Union, which by the 22nd Century had become a political union much like the United States of America. saʀᴄh th NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.
This political union seemed to have an agenda of obliterating individual national identities, cultures, and ethnicities, instead, it appeared to be in favor of replacing the native Europeans with people from the third world.
In the latter half of the 21st century there were a series of violent uprisings across Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand, with those who had been the founding stock of the nation taking to the streets and fighting for control over their own countries which were being handed over to foreigners.
But in the end, one by one, these movements were snuffed out by international pressure, the last of which that truly remained in the world being the Germanic League who continued to fight, despite its ever-decreasing membership.
Erich had come to understand that the Germanic League was losing this war, which they believed was for the survival of their people, and as someone from the future, Erich knew this was true. If the Germanic League did not flee earth within a hundred years, perhaps two, they would no longer exist in this world, as both a unique culture and ethnicity.
But what baffled Erich was that despite what he had been taught throughout his formative years. The Germanic League, or humanity as a whole appeared no closer to discovering interstellar travel. In fact, all forms of space travel had, for the most part, been ceased because of the economic struggles that the major powers of the world were facing.
The most you would see regarding national space programs was a maintenance of satellites, usually for military purposes. But there were no more rockets, there were no attempts to land on the Moon or Mars, and there were no more rockets being produced. Nor was there an international space station.
After careful consideration, Erich came to a conclusion on how the first FTL drive was developed by the Germanic League. It was hard to believe, but considering the circumstances that his founding ancestors were currently in, and the fact that Erich was now standing here, in this time, there was truly no mistaking it.
He was the creator of the First FTL drive. After all, the principles were simple enough, and his memory was literally a databank full of all kinds of schematics and blueprints from across the history of the Germanic Star-Empire.
His NeuroLink saw to that. This was a simple grandfather paradox. The Germanic League got their hands on the FTL drive, because Erich went back in time and gave it to them. They then found a way to build the blueprints and instructions he had given them, and used it to flee Earth, to Germania, as Erich had already told them.
It was something that was always meant to be. It was truly a simple explanation when Erich thought about it. And thus he did exactly that, giving all the information that the founders of the Germanic Star-Empire would need to flee Earth and find their new home across the stars.
Once Erich had done this, he decided to disappear, as staying in the past any longer may have unintended consequences. Thus, he immediately bade farewell to his ancestors, and returned to the present. Where he found, after thorough investigation of history, that nothing had truly changed in the past.
Further confirming that he was right all along. The survival of his people, and their exile to Germania, something which allowed them to become a Galactic power in a mere four centuries, was all thanks to him.
