Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1289: Chat in the Cage

"I didn't expect that Mr. Yang Hui and his friends are also visitors from another world like us."

"Hey, Longsheng, don't trust him too much. Who knows what conspiracy he has?"

"…Masaki, you better learn how to talk, nya?"

"Yes, that old man looks much more reliable than you, meow."

As elegant cats, training their own bipeds is a traditional skill. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai educate their owners mercilessly.

"Uh! Xiao Hei! Xiao Bai! Which side are you on?" Ando Masaki asked his familiar with a blushing face.

"Of course I'm on the right side, meow." X2
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai said as a matter of course.

"traitor!"

"Meow meow meow~"

"Wait, Xiaobai, you just called Mr. Yang Hui...Grandpa?" Ida Takamori asked curiously. Most of the time, Ida Takamori was a thick-skinned person, but he could occasionally catch blind spots keenly.

"Yeah, he's very old, meow." Xiaobai nodded in confirmation.

"Actually... I don't remember how old I am, but I think around 500."

"Mr. Yang Hui!?"
At this time, Yang Hui came over, still with his hands behind his back, looking calm and still maintaining a gentle smile.

"It seems that you are quite dissatisfied with me and have started to talk about me behind my back?" Yang Hui's smiling face made everyone feel cold.

"Well...it didn't start today, right?" Ida Takamori panicked and accidentally revealed the facts and the truth. From the very beginning, they liked to discuss Yang Hui in private, especially his devilish training.

"Longsheng!"
Everyone's faces changed drastically and they rushed forward to cover Ida Takamori's mouth, worried that he would accidentally reveal more secrets and they would all be in trouble!

"Huh?" The corner of Yang Hui's mouth curled up in a playful arc, a signal that his bad taste was coming out.

"Eh~!!!"
However, the teasing expression came and went quickly, and Yang Hui returned to his gentle state: "Since you didn't point a gun at me, I won't tease you anymore."

"Eh? But... even if I point a gun at you... it doesn't seem to work, eh?"

"Crack~!"

"Ouch!"

Yang Hui angrily slapped Ida Longsheng to the ground. This stubborn guy, don't you know I'm giving you a way out? It's rare that I don't want to play with you, but you're still rushing to get close to me, right! ?
"You deserve it..."
The people around him shook their heads in schadenfreude. It was indeed very comfortable to have Ida Takamori as a companion. He was passionate, straightforward, and helpful...but he was a bit thick-skinned and would occasionally act stupidly.

"By the way, Yang Hui, you just said that you are 500 years old?" After mocking Date Takamori, Ando Masaki asked Yang Hui, is a 500-year-old human really a human?
"At least, after all, I have been to so many worlds and experienced many different lives." Yang Hui shrugged.

"Can you tell us about it?" Everyone was curious about what other worlds were like, and what kind of legendary journey Yang Hui and his friends had experienced.

"Of course no problem." Yang Hui smiled. It was okay to talk about the past with everyone, just treat it as telling a story. Besides... the people present were basically certain to join the Promise Legion. Telling them now would be like giving them a shot of prevention in advance. Their journey was not sightseeing, but full of dangerous battles and hardships.

"Eh? Time stopped? Doesn't that mean immortality?!"

"You turn back into a baby and start over almost every time?"

"You're planning to conquer the world at such a young age. Won't you be considered a monster?"

"A decisive battle with an alien race? So exciting!?"

"ELS...Vajra...the universe is really huge."

...Every time Yang Hui finished speaking, there would be exclamations. Everything in Promise Fortress was too amazing for them. They were also filled with amazement at the wonders of other worlds. The most amazing thing was the Gundam UC world. The [One Year War] ended prematurely before it reached a year, except for the [Operation Britain] and the [Battle of Loum]. Because Yang Hui did not have time to intervene, all subsequent developments underwent tremendous changes, such as the early appearance of the Federation MS Force, more powerful mass-produced MS and fleets, the 12th Independent Technical Force that was willing to kill anyone who stood in its way, and so on.

Everyone in the local world fantasizes that if only Yang Hui could come to their world so early, many of the subsequent shitty things would not happen, and there would be no "Year of Miracles", but peace would always be there.

"Well, Colonel Yang Hui, may I ask, are these worlds now... maintaining peace?" Hu Suo asked.

"Most of it remains stable and peaceful. Although there are some minor disturbances from time to time, they are quickly suppressed, so that's it." Yang Hui shrugged and could only answer that peace is the general tone. It is impossible to achieve the ideal perfect peace. After all, people have desires and ambitions. When desires and ambitions are not controlled, they will expand. When the expanded ambitions are supported, it will naturally lead to unrest, which no one can stop.

This is true in every world. What Promise Fortress and the Earth Federation Government can do is to ensure that the unrest does not harm the people and suppress it quickly.

"Then... is there still a world that has not achieved peace?" asked Tian Haima.

"Yes." Then, Yang Hui told everyone about the situations of the worlds that have not yet achieved stable unification, such as the Ultra Hunter Kainen world and the Full Metal Panic world. Everyone understood why peace has not yet been achieved, and also understood why the worlds under his control can continue to be stable.

Because Yang Hui has never thought of dominating a world solely by force. With the current strength of the Promise Corps, worlds with the same power level as the Ultra-Limited Hunter Kainen World and the Full Metal Panic World can be easily swept away. Any disobedience can be eliminated. Once all opposing voices are eliminated, all that is left is unification.

But it won't work to do so. Simply relying on military force to sweep across the world will only trigger a stronger resistance mentality. After all, people from another world want to conquer their world, and even mortal enemies may share the same hatred for the enemy. Moreover, the voices of resistance can never be eliminated. When they are weak, they will hide and grow secretly. They will also cause constant trouble, carrying out attacks and sabotage everywhere. This will only aggravate the collapse of the social system and the ruin of the world, which is not what the Prometheus Legion needs.

That is why they formulated a complicated and tedious plan, infiltrating from the inside and controlling from the grassroots level, not only taking control of the material world, but also the spiritual world. Only in this way will the inhabitants of the world be loyal to Promise Fortress, and only in this way can the world be stable in the long run.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the powerful military force of the Promise Legion. After all, without strong military support, it would be impossible to suppress the unrest so quickly.

Just like what Yang Hui did in the world of Gundam SEED, how can a small country like Orb stick to its own ideals? Even the strongest beliefs need strong power to support them. Power and belief should be combined into one, otherwise it will just be a "big talker" or a "war machine".

"It seems that... Colonel, you came to our world not just to save the world, right?" Mabette asked. As an adult, she was naturally more mature than a teenager, and as a former manager, she naturally thought of more things.

"Of course." Yang Hui admitted frankly. Everyone present was smart and had nothing to hide. On the one hand, they could understand if we told them the details, and on the other hand, they could probably guess that lying would only leave a gap between their hearts. "If our mission is successful, this world will be connected to the Promise Fortress. We don't know where our road will lead to, and we don't know how many dangers will be waiting for us in the future. So... we need more like-minded companions to join us, and we also need more support."

"That means... I can also stay young forever?" Irie Huan said in surprise.

"Uh... is this the point?"
As expected of the "Unfortunate Five", it's not surprising that any one person's speech would be collectively criticized, but Irie Tamaki's focus is indeed very important, at least for all the female members... Yes, didn't you see that their eyes were shining the whole time! ?

"Then it's up to you to choose." Yang Hui spread his hands. "I've said so much to you just to tell you that our journey is not an exciting adventure. It's a disaster that we have to risk our lives and everything to eliminate. If you don't have enough awareness, I won't agree to it, let alone your willingness."

"As for awareness, I think everyone here has already had it, right? Right? Lai!"

Unfortunately, this time, Ida Takamori did not get an answer from his friend. He turned around and found that many people were looking down, not knowing what they were thinking. Only Ando Masaki had an indifferent expression, and there was also Al with stars twinkling on his face.

"Lai, what's wrong with you?" asked Ida Longsheng.

"Hmm? Sorry, I can't answer your question." Ladis F. Brasutta shook his head and said.

"Me too. I've never thought about it so much." Gulin Cai also shook her head. Everyone else had a complicated expression on their face, including the women who had longed for eternal youth before. Freezing time and maintaining eternal youth were blessings that were hard to refuse, but when they thought about spending endless time fighting, they began to hesitate. After all, most of the people present longed for peace, because in a chaotic world they had to fight, and if they could live a peaceful life, they would naturally not want to fight anymore.

"Hey! You guys..."

"Okay, Longsheng, don't impose your ideas on others." Yang Hui patted Ida Longsheng on the shoulder and advised, "Also, you can also think about why you are fighting?"

"Fighting for what...? Peace, of course!" Ida Takamori answered as a matter of course. He was a thick-skinned man and did not think so much. Although he was also involved in the battle, he fought for peace and could not stand DC which started a war without authorization.

"Hehe." Yang Hui patted Ida Takamori on the shoulder twice meaningfully, and then went to look at his own body. The space crack torn open by the evolved man stimulated his inspiration.

"Mr. Yang Hui, why are you fighting?" Tian Haihu suddenly asked when Yang Hui turned his back.

Yang Hui stopped and tilted his head slightly, letting everyone see his profile and his determined eyes: "Of course it's to protect the one I love."
