Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1371 The Truth
"Do you want me to tell you?" Elzam also knew why Nanbu, Hibiki and the other two came, because he and Zenga joined DC for the same reason. In addition to being conquered by the personality charm of General Bian, there was also...

"No, there is no need to explain too much. The outcome will be clear on the battlefield." Zeng Jia never explains anything to others. He just walks step by step on the path he believes is right.

"Major, I cannot accept your explanation." Nanbu Kyosuke shook his head, not accepting Zenga's refusal and intending to ask further, "Why would someone like you join the DC that started the war?"

"I've said it before, no need to say more, the outcome will be clear on the battlefield. If you want to know, just draw your sword against me and find out in battle." Zeng Jia continued.

"…Because of aliens, right?" asked Kyosuke Nanbu after hesitating for a moment.

"..." Although Zeng Jia did not answer and did not look at Nanbu Kyosuke for long, everyone present noticed that his body stiffened for a moment, but relaxed again in less than a second.

"At first, I really couldn't understand why you joined DC." Nanbu Xiangjie didn't care whether Zenga was listening or not, but he still talked about his speculation and analysis. "You are my goal and a reliable captain. I have been learning from you and want to be as strong as you, but... your betrayal is like a bolt from the blue to me. I really can't imagine why such an upright person like you would join DC and become an enemy of the Federation.

But after coming to this world, I think I gradually understood that the Earth and human beings have never been alone in the universe. The arrival of the Void Messenger is the best proof. If there are Void Messengers, there must be others, just like Ulugaru and Pentacona in this world, and even... the Legion of Hell, the Invaders, the Tyrant's followers... The Earth has never been safe.

You are doing this to remind us in your own way that we are not strong enough to protect the earth and human beings in the face of dangers, right?"

"...You have grown up, Kyosuke." After a moment of silence, Zenga sighed and looked at Nanbu Kyosuke seriously with an unusual smile on his face. "You are right, but not entirely."

"Please give me your advice." Nanbu Xiangjie asked humbly. At this moment, Zengjia was still the goal he admired and the captain he longed for.

"Let me tell it." Elzam stood up. He knew his old friend too well. If Zeng Jia answered, he would definitely not give a direct answer, but let Nanbu Xiangjie and others continue to look for the answer. But now that things have come to this point, Nanbu Xiangjie and others have guessed most of it, and there are some things that can be told to them.

Moreover, Elzam has other plans. The ATX team is the core combat force of the Steel Dragon Team, and the Steel Dragon Team is an important counterattack force of the Federation. If they can reach an agreement with the ATX team to a certain extent, DC and the Federation may be able to open up a completely different path.

"General Bian established DC and started a war to tell everyone in the world that they are not safe. Under the rule of the Federation, the world has been comfortable for too long and has almost forgotten what blood and fighting spirit are. Of course, if peace can be maintained, neither General Bian nor we want a war. However... the truth of the world is not like this. The Void Messenger you know is just one of them. In fact, long ago, the Federation had contact with alien civilizations, a huge alien force called the Zowok Interstellar Union." Elzam began to tell Nanbu Xiangjie and the other two the truth of the matter. After all, the information he could obtain was not comparable to the three people in front of him.

"Zovok Interstellar Federation..."

"Yes, visitors from the Zvok Interstellar Federation arrived on Earth and reached a deal with the Earth Federation. The other party provided technology, and Earth processed the technology into finished products and returned it to them. You should have heard of this technology being traded... the black hole engine."

When the black hole engine was mentioned, Elzam's expression was ferocious for a moment. Because of the black hole engine, his brother lost an arm. Although it has been completely healed, it was a conspiracy! His brother lost an arm because of a conspiracy without knowing it. As a brother, he could not forgive the person who planned and executed the conspiracy!
"Black Hole Engine! Are you talking about the missing cavalry?!" X3
"Yes, that's it, the first Fierce Bird."

"I heard that the incident broke out because the black hole engine was too advanced and the Earth Federation could not fully master it..." Irum said, searching for his memories.

"No, that's a conspiracy." Elzam continued, "The people from the Zovok Interstellar Federation were not sincere in wanting to cooperate with me. The black hole engine they provided had defects from the beginning. It was just a defective product used to test whether Earthlings were qualified to become partners."

"How could it be!?" X3
The three were shocked. They didn't expect there was such a truth.

"Also, after [Meteorite 3] fell to Earth, Commander-in-Chief Bian led a team to investigate, and eventually discovered that [Meteorite 3] was a man-made product, and contained a large amount of advanced military technology, with many similarities to the Void Messenger. Not only that, a huge artificial star was also discovered in the universe near Earth, and the progress of the investigation was also quite slow. This is enough to prove that the Earth is facing a huge crisis, so... Commander-in-Chief Bian hopes to rely on a war to awaken those who are addicted to comfort and unwilling to wake up." Elzam continued to explain.

"But why start a war? If we fully assist the Federation, then wouldn't it be..." The Southern Mediator asked Elzam, there are obviously many paths to choose from, but why do you have to choose the cruel one?
"Because of the corruption of the Federation," Elzam criticized bluntly.

"..."X3
Nanbu Kyosuke opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but all the words were stuck in his throat because he had been betrayed by his superiors more than once and used as a scapegoat by them.

Excelsior Browning held Nanbu Kyosuke's hand. Although she was lucky and had never been betrayed, she had always been with Nanbu Kyosuke. She saw everything that happened and felt the pain in her heart.

Irum had seen and experienced a lot, so he acquiesced to Elzam's argument.

"Those of you who have read the information should know how rotten the Earth Federation of this world is. I can tell you that our Federation is exactly the same as the original Earth Federation of this world." Elzam's voice became deeper and deeper, and his face became uglier and uglier. "At the beginning, after General Bian led his team to discover the truth about [Meteorite 3], he immediately submitted a report to the Federation Conference. The Federation also responded quickly and immediately established the [EOTI Agency] that specializes in studying aliens, led by General Bian."

"Isn't this good..." "But!" Elzam interrupted Axelin Browning and continued, "On the surface, the Federation appointed General Bian to lead the [EOTI Agency] to study aliens, but in fact it is divided into two factions. One is the preservation faction, which built the [Earth Cradle] and the [Moon Cradle]. If aliens come, they will hide in the two cradles to preserve the flame of human civilization; the other faction is the escape faction, which used three of the six [Troniums] found by General Bian from [Meteorite 3] to build three Space Noah-class battleships."

"Platinum, Black Iron and Steel..." Irum and the other two knew about the three most powerful super battleships of the Federation Army, but this was not their focus. Their focus was... the two factions within the Federation.

"How could this be? Doesn't anyone want to fight?" Excellence Browning exclaimed, covering her mouth.

No matter which faction, they all assume that Earth will fail. Whether they flee or hide, they cannot accommodate all humans. Most humans will eventually become abandoned by a very small number of people. And this very small number of people... need I say more? They must be the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen of the Federation.

"So, DC was established, and Marshal Bian declared war on the Federation, declared war on aliens, and vowed to defend Mother Earth, whom he loved so deeply, to the death!"

Elzam finished speaking. Although there were many details missing and the way of starting a war with such a purpose was not completely acceptable, but... they could no longer find the words to refute.

They were even more disappointed and disheartened by the Federation's choice, especially after learning about what the Promise Legion had done.

Festum from the Gundam SEED world, ELS from the Gundam OO world, Vajra and Snake from the Macross F world...

When did we not fight to the death? When did we not risk our lives and everything we had to protect the earth and humanity?

Even here, no matter how many enemies there are, no matter how strong the enemies are, they still do not hesitate and still move forward bravely.

The most important thing is... this is not their world!
It’s okay if you don’t compare, but once you do… the difference is obvious.

"Three of you, I am not trying to persuade you to join DC. I also know that DC is not a monolithic group, and not everyone agrees with General Bian. But... I hope you can think carefully about what to do in the future and who our real enemy is."

After saying that, Elzam and Zenga left the three people standing there thinking and left, but when they turned the corner, they ran into Yang Hui.

"Colonel Yang Hui? Why are you here?"

"Huh?" X3
The three people who were thinking were startled and turned their heads to look over.

"The main framework has been completed. I was planning to take a break, but... I happened to hear your conversation and eavesdropped." Yang Hui said, spreading his hands.

"Haha, you don't even try to hide your 'eavesdropping' behavior." Elzam laughed. The more he interacted with Yang Hui, the more he could not associate him with the commander-in-chief of a huge army.

"By the way, it is estimated that it will take three days for the [Drestliga] to resume sailing. In addition to completing daily training, you can arrange your time as you wish. If you want to go to Phnom Penh to relax, just apply for leave in advance."

"Colonel Yang Hui!" Nanbu Xiangjie suddenly called out to Yang Hui who was about to leave.

"What else?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Do you want to ask me whether I agree with General Bian's approach?" Without waiting for Nanbu Xiangjie to ask, Yang Hui asked directly.

"Uh... yes." Nanbu Kyosuke was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly. It turned out that he was a monster who could see through people's hearts.

"I agree." Yang Hui answered Nanbu Xiangjie's doubts without hesitation, "I don't have the habit of leaving my fate to others, and my consistent principle is to have good wine for friends and a sharp sword for enemies. Even if the enemy is invincible, I will bite a piece of meat off his body."
