Description

A hawk official arrived in the Union of Equestria Socialists to attend an international conference. Here, he witnessed something incredible - there was no animosity between different races, and he could see the Army Swarm guards "monitoring" the entire area. The hawk official's mind was calculating certain feasible plans. He believed that this seemingly "peaceful" situation wouldn't last long and considered this the outcome he most wanted to see.

The emergence of the Union of Equestria Socialists had already disrupted their plans. However, they were still able to continue their plans effectively until that detestable "demon" appeared, repeatedly thwarting all their carefully arranged schemes and even strengthening the relationships in the vicinity. It was truly infuriating! They needed to save face, they needed to eliminate this wicked Union of Equestria Socialists, which was involved in bio-experiments.

The hawk official noticed something, that the members of the Army Swarm had their own thoughts and consciousness. If he could persuade them... (just like persuading the members of the Venom Hordes and other Hives), it would be relatively easy.

The hawk official flew to a solitary Soltroah and politely said, "Hello!"

Soltroah didn't pay any attention to him.

The hawk official noticed that Soltroah was ignoring him. Nevertheless, he continued to smile and politely greeted her again, "Hello there!"

Soltroah glanced at him but then ignored him once more.

The hawk official didn't give up and continued, "Miss Insect, may I ask how I should address you?"

Soltroah still didn't respond.

The hawk official went on, "If I remember correctly, your name is Soltroah, right? I'm curious if Soltroah is your 'caste' name. What's your real name?" He playfully glanced at Soltroah.

"Names are such a free and proud means of identification. They let the public know who you are, symbolizing your independence, rather than servitude. When you accomplish great things or great deeds, all races remember your name, and the public knows you. They call your name with pride, and names are symbols of identity, signifying self-affirmation. Haven't you ever wanted a name of your own? Instead of sharing a common label like 'Soltroah.' Your caste seems to lack this democratic and free-thinking. All of the lower castes are treated like cannon fodder by those so-called 'Princesses.' While you toil at the front lines, they revel in luxury and ignore your feelings. You should stand up for yourself, enjoy the freedom and democracy you deserve, enjoy this world, and not just blindly obey those so-called 'Princesses' and their autocracy," the hawk official continued in an intoxicated manner.

"You should break free from this caste-based thinking. Your birth and existence are unique, independent, and nobody can deny you. You have the right to determine your own destiny, just as you are also a citizen of the Union of Equestria Socialists, with the right to choose your ideal government and the ideal world you desire. Instead of allowing Marshal Twilight to monopolize and control the nation's resources, which should belong to the people, you should have your name. Think about what name you want others to call you," the hawk official said with a smile, full of anticipation.

Soltroah glanced at the hawk official and finally spoke, "What is this thing you call 'freedom' in your words? What lies behind freedom?"

The hawk official, knowing that if he could convince this obnoxious Soltroah, he could proceed with his next plan, passionately continued, "Freedom is when any race can enjoy a wide range of activities without any restraints or restrictions, experience things they haven't before, speak their minds, and do anything they desire. Freedom is also a symbol of progress and democracy. People can choose the government they idealize, veto anything that's incorrect, and select the best of everything."

Soltroah asked, "What lies behind freedom?"

The hawk official proudly stated, "Behind freedom lies the maximization of individual interests, and freedom brings many benefits. It promotes economic and trade freedom, allows individuals to unleash their full potential without constraints, and permits them to enjoy the abundance and benefits that their efforts bring. Freedom also inspires people to strive for loftier goals and become the best they can be."

Soltroah replied, "So, it's like using freedom to grab things from others for your own personal gain?"

The hawk official's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He retorted, "That's not freedom; that's a crime!"

Soltroah continued, "So, what you mean is, freedom is like your country's citizens having the freedom to buy and carry dangerous weapons. Freedom allows people to raise firearms and shoot those they dislike when they feel offended. Freedom lets people use those dangerous weapons to vent their anger without regard for the lives of others. Freedom is distributing highly addictive drugs into society, enabling people to indulge in drug use for their own pleasure while building that pleasure on the suffering of others. Freedom means I decide what's right, and anyone who opposes me becomes my enemy, to be destroyed. Freedom is about twisting right and wrong, as long as it serves one's interests. Freedom means taking other people's property for oneself and loudly proclaiming that I am the embodiment of justice. Is that right?"

The hawk official, in anger, exclaimed, "Those are...!!"

Soltroah gazed at the hawk official and said, "Do you know what true freedom is?"

Soltroah didn't let the hawk official respond and continued, "True freedom is built upon a strong system, a robust support that provides protection for the people. It's a sense of security that the people can rely on, where they can entrust their children or loved ones to law enforcement without any distance. It's the assurance that when the people are in need, there will be countless others extending their helping hands and warmth with just one call. It's a sense of warmth that allows people to sleep peacefully in a place called 'safety,' a support system that enables mutual trust among the people, regardless of their race, size, religious beliefs, language, or lifespan and everyone can proudly declare, 'I am a citizen of the Union of Equestria Socialists.' Freedom is a sense of responsibility and security, a beacon of hope that people can call out for in times of despair, knowing that help is on the way. It's a commitment of the nation to value the people's wishes, striving to ensure that the people live happily, freely, and with dignity. Wherever they go, people can hold their heads high because of the strong homeland supporting them. This is what true freedom is."

The hawk official retorted, "No, those are just false messages propagated by this country. Our freedom is the real freedom!"

Soltroah smiled and responded, "Your so-called freedom and democracy are also false, just tools you use to manipulate facts and achieve your desired interests. Oh, right! Those are your 'freedom' and 'democracy.'"

The hawk official's face turned even redder.

Soltroah proudly declared, "I don't need a name. I am Soltroah, the Red Star Warrior of the Army Swarm of The Union of Equestria Socialists. I am one of the millions and millions of us, we are fearless and resolute. We are the people's most unwavering shield, the soldiers they trust the most, and the unyielding fortress of our nation. We represent our nation's strength to the entire world, ensuring that no foreign power encroaches upon our land again. We are the embodiment of the Red Star Will. What we protect is the freedom and democracy of our people, and our sacrifices are made in the pursuit of a freedom and democracy called 'peace' and 'security.' This is the essence of my freedom and democracy."

The hawk official turned and left, completely losing his composure, loudly proclaiming, "You're just a puppet of this country, a pawn!"

Soltroah snorted. At that moment, a little girl happily ran up to the Soltroah, placed a flower wreath she had made on the Soltroah's massive head, and showed the purest smile.

Soltroah softly remarked, "This smile, this is true freedom."

Soltroah looked to the sky and continued, "This is the true meaning of the Red Star Will we uphold."
