Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1368 Unable to Set Sail
"Ugh……"

The meeting was disbanded, and everyone returned to their respective departments, but... sighing has become the norm. There are many members in [Drestriga], and only the heads of each department participated in the meeting, so after the meeting, the heads of each department naturally had to share the content of the meeting with other colleagues in the same department, and then... the huge amount of information overwhelmed their brains at once, and it was really difficult to fully accept it for a while.

The MS unit is an exception, because the composition of Drei Kreuz is too complicated. Only a small part of them belongs to the Earth Federation Army, and they are not completely affiliated with the Earth Federation Army. For example, there is the hired Aggie St. Claus, the Huso, Mabette, and Shurak teams of the Holy Military Alliance that just merged not long ago, the Rabbit Team of the highly autonomous Federation Army subordinate agency [MJP], the Lion King Kai, Tian Hai Go, and Jie Dao Jimi of GGG...

Even Jonah Bashuta, a regular federal soldier, is more affiliated with the Luo Chamber of Commerce. And Jian Tieye, who holds a nominal position in the federal army, is more of an aid provider under the name of the federal army than a federal soldier.

Not to mention the others, such as Ryu Ryuma, or visitors from another world...

"Hahaha, what an interesting army, Fan. I'm glad you can find so many companions to march side by side with you." After being freed from the hook-claw man by Drei Kreuz, Cadbedo joined Drei Kreuz.

On the one hand, it was to repay a favor. Although the person who saved him was Cruze, he had a straightforward personality and was not suitable for intelligence work.

On the other hand, he had done so many wrong things, and although he was forced to do so, it did not mean that his sins could be wiped out with a few words. He was a master of fighting, and the best way to repay and atone was to fight.

Finally, Fan was also in this team.

"Tsk, it's just because of the deal." Fan said dejectedly.

"Hahaha, you are still stubborn, Fan. Don't forget that I know you very well." Cadbedo patted Fan on the shoulder and smiled frankly. Based on his understanding of Fan, he was a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"cut."

"Um...Mr. Cadbedo." Wendy looked at Cadbedo with a melancholy face, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"You want to ask about Michael, right?" Cadbedo knew Wendy, a girl who was willing to become Fan's bride in order to find her brother, and her brother was Michael from the Hook Claw Man group.

"Yes." Wendy nodded with a worried look on her face. She only knew that the Hook Claw Man and his gang had been caught, but she still didn't know what happened to her brother. She had planned to ask after the meeting, but she learned that a serious situation had occurred in [Drestriga] and Yang Hui went to deal with it immediately after the meeting. She had no chance at all and could only ask Cadbedo.

"Honestly... I don't know." Cadbedo shook his head. He didn't have any good feelings towards Michael, but he didn't hate him either. He didn't have many interactions with the other members of the Hook-Claw Man's group. Even if he did, it was because he was under mental control and it wasn't his intention.

“How could it be…” Hearing this, Wendy’s eyes dimmed.

"Hey, Cadbedo, when can you change this bad habit of yours? You always like to speak halfway." Fan knew Cadbedo very well. He was a typical riddle teller. He always liked to use some high-end and classy words to educate him. He could not understand him at all. He also liked to speak halfway, saying things like "you have to find it yourself" and "you have to understand it yourself". It was very annoying.

Although he always complained that Wendy was a troublesome woman and kept pestering him to be his bride, Fan still cared about her in his heart. After all, she took the trouble to take care of him even though he was sloppy.

"Haha, I really don't know." Cadbedo smiled, happy that Fan knew him so well. "But little girl."

Then, Cadbedo looked at Wendy again and said softly, "But I think he hasn't been abused."

"Eh? Really?" With a glimmer of hope in her dim eyes, Wendy suddenly looked up at Cadbedo, looking forward to what was to come.

"Well, I remember very clearly when he was arrested. Mr. Cruze received an order from Colonel Yang Hui, specifically asking him not to touch Michael. And... although Mr. Cruze is a very cold and dangerous man, he will still obey Colonel Yang Hui's orders. And Michael really doesn't know any intelligence, so he won't be tortured. Maybe you will see him soon."

"Really? That's great!" Wendy was very grateful to Yang Hui. Because she had told Yang Hui once that she hoped he could save her brother, she always remembered it and took special care of him.

"Well, it should be... eh? Mr. Cruze?"

Just at this moment, Cadbedo saw Cruze coming over and greeted him respectfully.

"It seems that you have adapted to your new life very well, Mr. Cadbedo, congratulations." Cruze said with a smile.

"I also want to thank you for saving me from the claw man, Mr. Cruze. If you have any instructions, please let me know."

"Don't be so polite, and I'm not looking for you." Cruze waved his hand, telling Cardbedo not to be so formal. He saved him just on impulse, and wanted to use the incident to shake up the internal relations of the Hook Claw Man's gang.

"What is that?" Cadbedo was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and looked at Wendy.

"Yes." Cruze nodded and looked at Wendy, "You are Wendy Garrett, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Cruze, may I ask..." Wendy didn't know Cruze, and she could feel that Cruze was a dangerous man, but... thinking that her brother was in his hands, she felt a little bit of anticipation. "The Drestliga has encountered some problems and will not set sail for the time being. I can take you to see Michael Garrett, and you can try to persuade him, but... it depends on your ability."

"Really? That's great! I will definitely try my best to convince my brother. Thank you very much, Mr. Cruze!"

"Don't be too happy yet." Cruze said to Wendy, pouring cold water on her. "Your time ends when the Drestriga sets sail. If the Drestriga sets sail and you still haven't convinced him, I can only take him back to the Federal Army's intelligence headquarters for custody. Of course, I'll just detain him and won't do anything to him. You can rest assured about that."

"I understand, Mr. Cruze, I will do my best." Wendy did not act unreasonably and expressed her understanding for Cruze's decision. After all, she was given the opportunity and time. If she could not complete it, it would be her problem. After all, Michael was the enemy of the Earth Federation Army, and it was right to kill him directly, not to mention that he was captured and given time and opportunity to convince her.

"I'm glad you understand." Cruze nodded, then looked at Fan, "Mr. Fan, is there another Mr. Georgia Langland among your companions?"

"Are you looking for Georgia?" Fan asked after a moment's pause.

"Yes, when I arrested the Hook Claw Man, I also arrested a troublemaker. I looked up his information and found out that his name is Ray Langland..."

……

The sight shifted to the other side, the core cabin of [Drestriga], which is also the main body of [AOS]. Yang Hui, Graham, Mitsuye Greywallis, Reynold Harding and Mabey gathered there, and a large number of researchers were busy nearby.

"Is [AOS] completely down?" Yang Hui asked Mabie.

"Yes, [AOS] has completely stopped working, and the entire computer system of [Drestriga] has been greatly affected. If [AOS] is not restored, [Drestriga] will even have difficulty taking off." Mabe said seriously.

"Is it because of Ochidacea?" Yang Hui asked, because he and Mabe had never studied [AOS] thoroughly. At first, he thought [AOS] was just Ochidacea's hiding place, but he didn't expect the connection to be so close.

"That's not certain yet, but...it's very likely." Mabey replied to the bad news.

"Maby, if I remember correctly, in order to avoid problems with the original main system of our ship, Colonel Yang Hui should have created another main system for the Drestriga?" asked Mitsuha Greywallis. When the system entered the Azalea Station out of control, the Drestriga was able to operate normally because of this main system.

"Yes, there is." Maby scratched her sparsely groomed hair in annoyance, making it even more messy. "But the system written by Colonel Yang Hui is only an auxiliary pendant, and it cannot fully support the operation of all the components of [Drestriga]. The last time it worked, it was because [AOS] was just out of control, not stopped working, and the basic functions were still working. But this time is different..."

"Is there any way to restart it?" asked Sanye Greywallis.

"There's nothing we can do." Mabey spread her hands and looked at Yang Hui, "Unless we let her out again and try again."

"Is there no other way?" Sanye Greywallai immediately rejected this option. Ochidachea was too threatening. They had finally captured him, so how could they let him go again?

But [Drestriga] can't stay here forever, they still have many tasks to complete.

"There's another solution that's not a solution," said Mabey.

"What method?" Clover Greywallis and Reynold Harding were looking forward to Mabey's answer.

“Tear down [AOS].”

"Tear it down!?" Sanye Greywallis and Reynold Harding were stunned and shocked.

“Yes, it has been demolished.”

"This plan is not feasible." Before Sanye Greywalle and Reynold Harding could say anything, Yang Hui immediately rejected this option. "The Drestliga is a warship developed with the legacy of the divine civilization Eos as its body, and AOS is the core of its body. The entire Drestliga's body frame is built around AOS. Dismantling AOS is equivalent to sending Drestliga back to the factory for reconstruction. We don't have that much time."

"So this is not the only solution." Mabie was also helpless. Apart from this solution, she really couldn't think of any other solution.

"What should we do? The [Infinite Demon] lure operation is about to begin, and we don't have time to waste." Sanye Greywalle was a little anxious. Not only would they miss the scheduled time for the [Infinite Demon] lure operation, but if they didn't find a way to solve this problem, [Drestriga] would be useless.

"How about... changing the boat?"
