I build nuclear bombs in the giant world.

Chapter 175 I will be the new commander

"Has it been discovered?" Ian turned back and looked at the passage he opened with brute force.

Red phenolic resin emerged there, and the NERV people seemed to be planning to seal all the passages to temporarily prevent their actions.

"All the remaining power has been supplied to the Final Doctrine Area and MAGI. There is no excess power in the command room. This should be a security behavior of MAGI's own judgment. It intends to use phenolic resin to hinder your aggressive behavior." Ritsuko moved and was released. With his hand, he patted the dust on his white coat.

"Resin alone cannot stop those who want to move forward." Ian shook his head: "Miss Ritsuko, do you know where the host of MAI is?"

"What do you want to do with MAGI?"

"The troops of the Japanese Self-Sentai Corps have been dormant in the suburbs near Third Tokyo City, but they still lack a reason to act, so I hope you can assist us."

"Is this a threat?"

"It's an invitation. After seeing the battle in Massachusetts, Miss Ritsuko should be able to understand that we have the strength to face the apostles on our own without relying on SEELE's funds and support."

"That?" Ritsuko sighed: "It's true that Unit 4 is vulnerable to you, but rationally speaking, I don't think you are trustworthy. You killed Shinji Ikari. It's hard for me not to think that you are. Another one with a human appearance.”

Ritsuko carefully considered her words, and finally whispered: "Monster."

At this time, Ayanami Rei, who was silent on the side, spoke: "Ikari-kun is still alive."

"Alive?" Ritsuko frowned: "How do you know, Ayanami, where is the evidence?"

She began to wonder whether Ian really had a special ability to confuse people, even Ayanami Rei, a personality born from God, could bewitched.

"I just had a phone call with Ikari-kun." Ayanami Rei said calmly: "On that day, Ikari-kun was swallowed together with the wreckage of Unit 4. This person has been taking care of Ikari-kun. This is what Ikari-kun said. "

"Did you swallow it whole?" Ritsuko thought about this possibility: "Indeed. This makes sense."

"What, Miss Ritsuko, have you thought about it?" Ian looked at Misato and Kaji who were walking towards them.

Kaji has told Misato most of the things, and the two have reconciled.

Misato even shed tears. She was imprisoned in NERV for more than ten days and received very little information. She thought Kaji was dead.

"The time in college was very pleasant, don't you miss Ritsuko?" Ian continued to persuade.

"What a loss." Ritsuko stared at Katsuragi Misato, whose eyes were red, and sighed slightly: "MAGI's host is on the 265th floor, above the final dogma area."

"Thank you." Ian thanked him.

He gathered everyone together, left the Final Dogma area, and went with everyone to the location of MAGI's host.

The senior officials of the Japanese government received the information transmitted back by Ryoji Kaji. The "god" sealed in the final dogma area, the truth about EVA, and a large amount of information related to the second impact were transmitted from the MAGI database.

This is the first time they have learned about these top-secret information. Although NERV is headquartered in Hakone, Japan actually has no management rights over it at all.

That was a base built after the second impact. It belongs directly to SEELE and is equivalent to an autonomous special zone.

Although it was said to be a military fortress built to fight the Apostles and avoid the third impact that would destroy mankind, the government knew very little about the Apostles, NERV, and EVA.

They have always been suspicious and wary of NERV. After all, it is a military base built in their own homes and not under their own control.

In addition to the spy Kaji Ryoji, they secretly have many informants located in Tokyo-3, but for many years, no spy has ever been able to reach the lowest level of NERV headquarters.

Until today, they finally got a glimpse of the true face of the Final Dogma Zone.

"EVA turned out to be something made by imitating the apostles. I knew that the people at NERV were secretive. They must have some dirty secrets!"

"This is the key! This report from fifteen years ago, Ikari Yuantang, is indeed him. He is the culprit that caused the second impact!"

"The people from S2 Agency, Dead Sea Documents, and SEELE have long known the disaster that contact with Adam will cause!"

"Assholes, it's all because of them that the world is what it is now!"

They discussed for a while and carefully browsed these top-secret information and photos that had never been made public.

The second impact caused huge disasters to Japan, the entire world and human society. Billions of people died at that time. Human beings were like tiny mayflies in the tsunamis and earthquakes, but they could still stand. Those speaking here are all survivors of that disaster.

The survivors clearly remember that time. The economic and social structure of the world completely collapsed. Some people lost their wives and children, and everything overnight. Even after fifteen years, they cannot forget it. The sadness of the time.

If someone said that such a disaster was deliberately planned, then it absolutely cannot be forgiven!

"The following is a vote on whether to occupy NERV headquarters."

Representatives of the Japanese government unanimously voted in favor.

"We cannot leave our destiny to a guy like Ikari Gendo! The incident in Massachusetts has proven that that person can completely replace EVA and fight against the apostles!"

"We must face the apostles ourselves, and we must make the truth known to the public!"

The order was issued at the end of the meeting.

"Second Tokyo City issued Order A-801 to abolish the special legal protection of the secret service agency NERV and transfer its command to the Japanese government!"

The self-sentai squad who had been dormant in Third Tokyo City in advance received the order and began military operations. Military vehicles, fighter planes and infantry all marched towards the NERV headquarters.

At the same time, Deputy Commander Dongyue, who was in the command room, was captured.

Due to the power outage, the security system inside the base was unavailable, and all remaining power was supplied to MAGI and the Final Dogma area.

MAGI controls all affairs of NERV headquarters. Even the government affairs of Third New Tokyo City are handled by MAGI. Controlling MAGI is equivalent to controlling NERV and Third New Tokyo City.

"Ritsuko, have you betrayed?" Dongyue raised her hands as someone pointed a gun at her back.

"I'm sorry, deputy commander." Misato and Kaji stood beside Ritsuko: "I really still like the world here, and I don't want to be bound by that person anymore."

Dongyue didn't reply. She just put on handcuffs and squatted in the corner with the other prisoners.

EVA cannot be used, the headquarters has a power outage, and MAGI's instructions have been modified. They have no room to resist.

"I thought I was just a capable young man, but in the end he achieved this level. I really can't believe it." Dongyue looked at Ian's face.

"Thank you, Deputy Commander, for the compliment." Ian bowed slightly.

Dongyue took a deep look at Ian, as if she wanted to imprint this face into her heart.

Since the team quickly arrived in Neo-Tokyo 3, there was support inside but no defense outside. The NERV headquarters, which was out of power, was nothing more than a large warehouse.

With the help of their own team, they quickly occupied NERV without any bloodshed. Afterwards, the team restored part of the power supply to the NERV headquarters, barely getting the life support system of the underground city back to work.

But such a huge movement also attracted SEELE's attention.

The forces they installed in Japan quickly informed them of the situation.

The Soul Seat lit up again, and the old people were furious.

"Even Black Moon has been occupied!"

"I propose to launch an attack on MAGI. We cannot let them get NERV so easily!"

"But we have only reached the ninth messenger now, and the Lilith contract has not been completed yet."

"We still have the Gun of Langnuchis." Speaker Keel said in a low voice: "The production of artificial apostles and mass production machines is in the final stage. Don't panic."

"What we have to do is wait quietly for the judgment."

"The heretics don't want to cause a third impact, so let's use their hands to complete the contract, and then fulfill our long-cherished wish."

As soon as Speaker Keel spoke, the old people fell silent again.

"Then just wait quietly for the judgment."

SEELE really doesn't want to do this, but under the current situation, they have no other choice.

They initiated a communication with the returning Ikari Gentang. Ikari Gentang recovered the gun of Langnokis and was on the boat returning, preparing to take the gun back to NERV.

"What! The headquarters is occupied!" Ikari Yuantang rarely lost his composure.

"You take the holy spear to Germany and wait for instructions there." SEELE said to Ikari Yuantang.

Ikari Yuantang was silent for a long time, but he could only reluctantly answer: "Yes."

The communication was disconnected. He clenched his fists and hammered the railing on the deck hard, but this did not alleviate the anger in his heart at all.

All his long-term plans were destroyed in one fell swoop.

They were all that person. He had no communication with that person and had only met briefly a few times.

He had always regarded SEELE as his biggest opponent, but he never thought that he would be hindered to this extent by the person who suddenly appeared.

NERV headquarters was controlled by the Japanese government, and all NERV's old employees were arrested.

However, for the residents of New Tokyo City No. 3, they did not feel any particularly big changes.

The apostles were annihilated just like before, but the traces of destruction left behind took a long time before someone came back to repair them.

In the past, funds for these restoration works were provided by organizations under SEELE. But now, Japan and SEELE have a showdown. Kaji Yoshiharu temporarily left the Third New Tokyo City. Together with the government, he promoted the cooperation with the Second New Tokyo in the international community. Uncover the truth about the impact and strive to win over allies and funds.

"Although you want me to be the new commander, you have also seen that I can't get away now." Kaji Ryoji talked to Ian on the phone: "We have entered a cold war with SEELE, and they have not taken any action against us. They made a particularly big statement and did not stand up to speak out, but it is impossible for us to get any more funds and support from them.”

"Compared with EVA, the Japanese government is more willing to trust you. If the Apostles attack again, they hope that you can attack, which means that you will become the new commander of NERV headquarters. You can mobilize surrounding troops and resources to annihilate the Apostles. I I’m here to ask for your thoughts, would you like to accept this position?”

"Is that so?" Ian thought for a moment.

Originally, he had no idea about the commander, but now it seems that there is really no suitable candidate.

Anyway, all the apostles will always be eliminated, this is unavoidable.

"I understand, if I was promoted to such a high official position all at once, I would have to hold a celebration party," Ian said.

"In short, I leave it to you, the apostle. I will work hard to investigate what SEELE is going to do next." Kaji Ryoji said.

"Don't die, Mr. Kaji." Ian said.

"Misato will cry if I die, so I try not to die." Kaji joked: "Let's stop talking here. I have other things to do. The people responsible for program handover are already on the way. Will contact you."

After saying that, Kaji Ryoji hung up the phone. In the evening of the same day, people from the government came to check his identity and complete the procedures.

Ian became the new commander of NERV. The first thing he did after taking office was to release the employees who were working at NERV.

Except for MAGI-related employees, everyone else was asked to return to their respective posts.

Many of these people are unknowing people. Even if they really have SEELE's spies, it doesn't matter. SEELE loves to spy, so let them do it.

Ian didn't care whether they were able to get information or not. Moreover, for SEELE, eliminating the apostles was also a must-do. If the apostles appeared, SEELE would never let their own people cause trouble and would still regard the elimination of the apostles as the first priority.

Ian boldly used these people and put them to work again.

After that, he called his authority and transferred the S2 agency. At the most critical point, he handed it over to his own people and asked Captain Hanji to assist him.

Shinji Ikari also returned to Tokyo-2 along with the S organization.

At this time, it was already the second week since the ninth apostle was annihilated.

"Shinji-kun, you understand the situation, right?" Ian and Shinji Ikari returned to the apartment where they had lived before.

"But...can I really leave?" Shinji was a little timid.

"Don't worry." Ian rubbed Shinji's head: "Whether you drive EVA or not drive EVA, that is your own decision. Just follow your own inner thoughts. No one will force you now. ."

"Go and pack your luggage. We will hold a farewell party for you tonight. Ayanami, Asuka and Miss Misato will all be here. From today on, you can live with your teacher just like you did before. Don't worry about living expenses. I will take care of you." You came out of it.”

Shinji Ikari stood in front of the empty door. Although he kept saying that he didn't want to drive EVA anymore, at this time, he felt empty in his heart.

Leaving like this means he has to say goodbye to everything in Tokyo-3, including those memories.

He stood for a moment and heard Ian's phone ring.

"It's the apostle. The apostle was discovered over the Indian Ocean. He suddenly appeared in the satellite orbit two minutes ago!" Misato's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand, I'll be right over." Ian nodded: "Sorry, Shinji, the farewell party has to be postponed. You should go to the underground city to take refuge first. I will come to you after dealing with the tenth apostle."
