Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 247 Kruse Was Tricked
On the other hand, not long after the Vesalius set sail, Aslan, who was tossing and turning on the bed, came to Kruse's office to report that he had disobeyed orders in the previous battle and attacked without authorization. If you come up with any results, you will naturally be questioned and even punished.

"Aslan Sara is here to report!"

"Well, come in."

When Aslan entered the office, Kruse, who was writing the combat report, said without looking back: "The [Heliopolis] collapse kept me busy and delayed the conversation between you and me."

After finishing the combat report, Kruse turned around and folded his hands on the table, his tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to scold Aslan at all.

"Yes! I'm really sorry for the battle just now!"

"I don't intend to punish you, but I want to hear your explanation, because this action is too unlike your style, Aslan."

Kruse did not punish Aslan because he is the son of Speaker Sarah. Aslan has always been a model soldier since he joined the army. Higher treatment or swagger.

But this time, he disobeyed the military order uncharacteristically, and there must be a reason why he had to do so.

"..." Aslan was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"When the machine was activated, you were by the side, right?"

"I'm very sorry...Some unexpected things have shaken me, so I can't report to you." Aslan replied, after a little thought, Aslan was still going to report the truth, but Aslan was going to hide it The existence of Yang Hui only reports on Kira's situation.

First, Yang Hui's identity is too sensitive, and international disputes may arise if he is not careful. Although Orb participated in the Earth United's MS development plan this time, Orb also has a cooperative relationship with PLANT and ZAFT, but there are not many people I just know it, so I can't completely push Orb to the enemy's position because of this incident.

Second, he is not sure where Yang Hui is now. What if he is not on the Archangel?Isn't my own report self-defeating?
Third, both Kira and Yang Hui are Aslan's good friends, but compared to Kira's pure friendship, Yang Hui has great kindness to him and the Sarah family.

"Then tell me, what can shake you?"

"Yes, the last machine, the person driving it is called Kira Yamato, my friend from elementary school on the moon, and an adjuster."

"Huh?"

"I never expected to meet him again on such an occasion, so I want to confirm it no matter what..."

"That's right. War is really ironic. It's reasonable for you to be shaken. You used to have a close relationship, right?"

"……Yes."

"I understand. Since this is the case, you don't have to go into battle next time."

"Eh?"

"It's impossible for you to point a gun at him, and I don't want you to do such a thing."

"No, Captain, I..."

"Even if it was your former friend, since he is now an enemy, we must eliminate him. I think you should be able to understand this?"

"Kira... Kira must have been manipulated by a natural person! Although he is very good, he is always confused and a good guy, so he must not have realized that he was being used by others..." Aslan's words, no doubt I don’t know whether he is convincing Kreuzer or himself, it should be more of himself, after all, he cannot accept the fact that he is an enemy of Kira, "So, I want to persuade him, after all, he is also an adjuster! Trust him You must understand us."

"I understand your feelings, but what if he doesn't listen?"

"Eh..." Hearing this, Aslan lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "If that's the case... then... I'll kill him..."

"In that case, I'll give you a chance."

"Yes! Thank you very much!"

"Go."

Aslan left gratefully, but Kruse was lost in thought.

Because... the name Kira Yamato made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Don't underestimate this vague sense of familiarity. Kruse is a person with a strong purpose. People who can be remembered by him will never ignore ordinary people among all living beings. Being able to have an impression has already explained the greatness of this name. ordinary.

But Kruse thought hard, and for a while, he really couldn't remember the specific situation of the name Kira Yamato.

"Let's write it down first. Aslan might be able to bring him back. We should know when the time comes, but..."

Putting down Kira's affairs, Kruse returned to combat. It stands to reason that even if he still can't catch up with the Archangel, he should find its trace, but there is no news from the bridge at this time. It shouldn't be.

"Adis, have you found any traces of the enemy ship?"

"not yet."

"Where is the friendly army that you contacted before?"

"There was no communication either."

"It's weird..."

Kruse is very confident that his judgment will not go wrong, and just in case, he also contacted friendly forces to set up an ambush on the route directly to the lunar base in [Heliopolis], regardless of the opponent Whichever path you choose, you should discover something.

"Where did you go..." While thinking, Kluzer opened the space map again, rethinking the Archangel's trail.

This time, he discarded all previous judgments and started thinking from scratch.

First of all, Artemis, who was the original target, was excluded. They could already see the existence of [Umbrella] with the naked eye at their current position. If the Archangel was really as he expected, it is impossible that there is no trace at this time.

The next thing to rule out is the route directly to the base on the moon. The reason is also that there is no trace and the time is out of date.

Then, Kruse began to rule out all the earth army bases and military fortresses far away from the lunar base, and finally...Kruse frowned deeply as he looked at the empty space map.

"No, after ruling out all the possibilities, there is no other choice. I was just negligent...huh?" Suddenly, Kruse's eyes focused on a blank area in the space map.

"This space, I remember..." While thinking, Kruse overlapped the civilian space map and the military space map, and there was an extra mark in the blank space, "Scrap Recycling Merchants Union? Could it be... not so Maybe?"

Kruse believes that most of the natural personnel of the Earth Army are self-righteous people who are not very capable, and it is impossible to leave the military fortress of the friendly army and go to the civil forces at the level of the waste recycling trade union to seek help, but... …

There is a saying that goes well, rule out all the impossible, and no matter how unbelievable the result remains, it is the truth.

"Is there anyone else? Kira Yamato? This name... probably not, Aslan said, he is just an ordinary student, so... who else?"

Thinking of this, Kruse was basically sure that there were other experts on the Archangel who were not from the Earth Army, leading him into a misunderstanding.

"Addis."

"team leader."

"Change the course immediately, and correct the target to the S32 space."

"S32 Universe? There's nothing there, captain..."

"I misjudged the target of the enemy ship, just modify the route, this time there will be no more mistakes."

"This...I know."

Captain Adis was very puzzled by Kruse's decision, but he still obeyed Kruse's order, without him, he respected Kruse, and did not look down on him because Kruse was not an adjuster, on the contrary, Kruse Since serving as the captain, he has led them to complete countless tasks and made many achievements, and he is very recognized for his ability.

"Well, telegraph the friendly troops and ask them to relocate."

"learn."

After finishing the communication, Kruse looked at the space map and smiled faintly, the arc of the corner of his mouth was gloomy and dangerous.

"Hehe, interesting, the unknown opponent can fool me, I really want to know your identity... [Heliopolis], Orb, wait! Could it be!"

Kruse once again thought of an impossible possibility, and the arc of the corner of his mouth became more and more weird and dangerous.

"It should be you, right? I can't think of anyone else besides you. It's interesting, it's so interesting. If it's really you... then this ship must be destroyed. I really expect which direction the world will go? Hehe, haha, hahaha..."

……

Hours of silent voyage passed away.

Along the way, Maru and the others were so nervous that they didn't dare to relax for a moment. Even if they were sleeping in shifts, they would sleep with their clothes on, and they would immediately meet the attack of the ZAFT army.

When the Scrap Recycling Merchants Union entered the detection range of the Archangel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter when ZAFT's attack returns, at least they have arrived at the first target.

However, at this moment, everyone became a little nervous again, because an unknown ship was rapidly approaching on the same route.

"A large heat source was detected, presumed to be a battleship engine, distance 500 yellow zone 33, 17, marked 02 C, route 0 to 0."

"On the side? Heading in the same direction as us!"

"Has it been discovered?"

"But it's still a long way off."

"The target is about to overtake the ship, and the target information cannot be confirmed."

"Unable to confirm? Is it a ZAFT ship?"

"This... there is no record in the database. The scale is judged to be a civilian ship, but it is a battleship engine, and the speed... exceeds this ship!"

"how is this possible!?"

Everyone was surprised. The Archangel is the latest high-speed warship of the Atlantic Federation. The Nazca class of ZAFT was originally designed as a high-speed ship. speed?

"Is it the salvager's ship?"

"Unable to confirm."

Maru and the others didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sounded the alarm for the first-level combat configuration.

"Huh? It should be time to reach the waste recycler's guild, right? How could it be caught up in this place?"

"Yang Hui..." Kira looked restless. Although he decided to help Yang Hui, he was still very nervous when a fight was really going to happen.

"I'm not sure if it's the enemy yet, I'll go to the bridge first." Yang Hui comforted, "But let's get ready."

"Well, I see."

"By the way, remember to wear a driving suit."

"it is good."

Yang Hui came to the bridge and asked what happened, but...

"Thor? Mirialia? Sai? Katz? Why are you here? And... still wearing military uniforms?"
