Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1553: Goodwill and Deterrence
"I see. Is the situation so serious?" On the screen, Yang Hui's expression was very serious. Elzam had already made a concise report, giving a general account of the current situation and letting Yang Hui know what a dangerous situation the world of Robot Wars OG was facing.

First, DC and the Earth Federation have reached a truce, but this is not a good thing. The two incompatible forces have reached a truce only because an irresistible powerful enemy has emerged, which has resulted in them being unable to continue attacking each other, and even self-preservation has become a problem. The most crucial thing is... even at this time, the group of federation officials are still unwilling to join forces with DC to overcome the crisis together.

Second, the speed of time flows in different worlds. It has been less than two months since Elzam and his companions separated from the Promise Corps, but three years have passed in the world of Mobile Suit Gundam OG. Fortunately, when they came back, the war between the Earth Federation and DC had entered a stalemate, and the situation had not changed much from when they left. However, the sudden enemy still caught them off guard, and they had been waiting for the arrival of the Promise Corps.

Thirdly, I don’t know if it’s the butterfly effect, but the strong return of Elzam and others seemed to be a signal, a signal of the beginning of chaos. Just one month after they returned to the world of Mobile Suit Gundam OG, the [Void Messenger] launched a full-scale invasion of the Earth. A large number of [Void Messengers] appeared all over the world, and even the Zovak Interstellar Federation couldn’t sit still. The representative of the [Visitors] unilaterally terminated the cooperation with the Earth, and joined forces with the [Supervisor] faction and the [Weapon Dealer] faction to send troops to the Earth, and fought a great battle with the [Void Messenger]. They didn’t care about the lives of the people on Earth at all, and only regarded the Earth as a battlefield between the Zovak Union and the Balma Empire.

Fourth, three months after the war between the Zolian Empire and the Balma Empire began, a special creature called the [Native Species] appeared and began to indiscriminately attack the Earthlings, the [Void Messengers] and the Zolian Empire. Among the [Native Species] there was a person with human appearance who could communicate. According to the information that Elzam had obtained from an insider, the [Native Species] named Alufimi had a complicated relationship with Nanbu Xiangjie and Excellin Browning. Currently, Nanbu Xiangjie and Excellin Browning have been secretly detained and are under investigation.

Fifth, half a year after the emergence of the [native species], the [hyperdimensional gate] in Antarctica suddenly opened, and strange creatures like the ocean emerged from it. These creatures swept through all the forces that stood in their way like a swarm of locusts, slaughtering lives wantonly. At the same time, they continued to dig up minerals from the earth and built a large number of nests all over the earth.

Sixth, the [Super Dimension Gate] in Antarctica has been in an open state. It was transferred to the universe by a mysterious powerful force half a year ago. The monsters that emerged include not only reptiles on the ground, but also various types of space flight, and they have demonstrated powerful combat capabilities. If the monsters on the ground are called miners, then the ones in the universe are combat troops. There are even flying creatures at the level of space battleships, which spit out a large number of small fighter-type monsters from their ferocious giant mouths.

"BETA." Yang Hui recognized the true form of this monster after just one glance at the information shared by Elzam.

BETA, also known as the cosmic miner, is a carbon-based creature that feeds on all kinds of minerals, from rocks that are everywhere to rare minerals. After eating the minerals, they will transform them in the body and transform them into a special energy mineral called [G element]. This is also the source of life for BETA and the target of their invasion of all planets.

Judging from the photos, all known BETAs have appeared on Earth. Comparing with the information in the important database of Promise Fortress, it can be confirmed that the [Soldier Class], [Fighter Class], [Tank Class], [Interceptor Class], [Assault Class], [Fortress Class], [Laser Class], [Heavy Laser Class], [Super Heavy Laser Class], [Mothership Class], [Gate Class], [Brain Class] and [Heavy Brain Class] appear in the universe. According to the information in the central database, the following types can be confirmed: [Fighter Class], [Assault Type], [Battleship Class], [Heavy Battleship Class], [Super Heavy Battleship Class] and [Space Fortress Class].

"It seems that the situation over there with Xiangjie is not very optimistic. Fortunately, I contacted you first." The people who left the communicators were in both sides, and Yang Hui decided to contact DC first because Elzam and Zengjia had high status within DC and were the right-hand men of General Bian. Yang Hui wanted to take this opportunity to directly connect with General Bian and reach a strategic cooperation with DC.

"Yes, Mr. Yang Hui, where are you?" asked Elzam.

"We are 10 light years outside the solar system and have not encountered any enemies so far."

"That's good." Elzam breathed a sigh of relief. Not encountering the enemy meant that the Promise Legion could free up its hands to support the Earth.

"I want to talk to Commander Bian." Yang Hui said to Elzam.

“…” Elzam did not agree immediately, but looked at Commander Bian.

General Bian nodded, took the communicator, and met Yang Hui: "I am Bian Zoldak, you are Yang Hui?" "I have heard of your name for a long time, General Bian, the situation is urgent, how about we skip the greetings directly?"

"That's what I thought, too. I'll just come straight to the point. I don't believe you."

"I understand, so I want to make two deals with you, or cooperation."

The old routine, mutual distrust, the best way to establish an equal relationship is cooperation and transaction. As long as the transaction content that benefits both parties can be proposed, even if there is no trust between each other, the chances of reaching a consensus are higher.

"I'd like to hear the details." This was also in line with General Bian's idea. Although he did not trust the Promise Legion, General Bian believed in Elzam and Zenga. General Bian also needed an opportunity to contact Yang Hui. Besides... the situation on Earth was urgent and he really needed the other party's help.

"For the first transaction, I will take four people to Pluto Island. Please provide a suitable venue for a formal meeting with you. If you allow, I can provide you with important intelligence of equal value."

"...Okay." In the eyes of Marshal Bian, the first deal was a goodwill gesture from the other party. According to the intelligence brought back by Elzam and Zengjia, Yang Hui could force his way into Pluto Island alone, and bring other trump cards that were not much weaker than him to Pluto Island. Even if Marshal Bian was confident and believed in the combat effectiveness of Bai Hechou, Elzam, Zengjia, and the Pluto Island defenders, he did not think they could stop the other party. The other party not only proposed it as a deal, but also wanted to give intelligence. This was the other party's sincerity, and of course he would not refuse. "What about the second one?"

"As for the second deal, I will decide whether to propose it during the first formal meeting, depending on the results of our initial contact with you."

"..." Commander Bian was stunned for a moment. The spy Yang Hui was not a simple person. It seemed that the content of the first transaction was not simply goodwill, but also a demonstration, an opportunity to show one's own strength, and then whet one's appetite. According to one's attitude, one could see how to modify the content of the transaction, such as raising the price, using force to deter, and so on.

"General Commander."

Zenga and Elzam stood up and looked at General Bian, hoping that he would agree.

"Well...Okay, when can you arrive? I will be ready to welcome you." After thinking about it, General Bian nodded and agreed to Yang Hui's request.

"We will be there in an hour, please be prepared."

"An hour?" Not only Commander Bian, but also Baihe Chou, Elzam and Zenga beside him, they all knew that the Promise Legion had more than one space jump technology, but they also knew that the fastest [FOLD Wave Jump System] would take a day to reach the Earth from 10 light years outside the solar system.
