From what Ves could glean from the answers given by Jovy and Commodore Reze, it sounded as if the Red Two already accepted the new reality.
The Terran Alliance and the Rubarthan Pact had slipped away from their regime for good.
There was so much bad blood between the Red Two and the first-rate colonial superstates that the latter had become allergic to surrendering their sovereign rights.
The Terrans and the Rubarthans would never agree to give their former overlords power over their mechs and warships!
Otherwise, what was the point of pulling off the Red Split?
Still, the RA and the RF had many ways to undermine the insurrectionists. They could apply many different forms of pressure in order to force the mechers and the fleeters to the negotiating table.
Ves therefore had good reasons to believe that the Red Two and the newly restored star nations would form a reluctant compromise that pleased no one, but at least kept the peace… for the time being.
