Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant. The area is currently under martial law. You must have permission from above to enter the port." The guard explained stutteringly, secretly complaining to himself for having nothing to do a few minutes ago.

A big shot in the Assault Mobile Army, even a lieutenant, is not something that a local garrison guard can afford to offend, but because of his responsibilities, he cannot just let him go without doing anything.

"Permission? Why haven't I heard of this rule? This is the order I received from my superiors, isn't it?" The lieutenant on the opposite side was a little unhappy, but he still took out a document with the emblem of the Assault Mobile Army.

'I'm not from your Assault Mobile Army system. How do I know if it's OK?' the guard thought. Even if there were no screens, the guards belonging to different groups would have no way of distinguishing the authenticity of the documents in front of them.

"At least...please let me board the ship to confirm!"

The guard hoped to complete his most basic duties before the lieutenant across the street got angry.

Of course, with dozens of wounded soldiers looking on with murderous intent, the guards who came to inspect only dared to make a symbolic circle in the cargo hold before putting the cargo ship into the port.

'Now, we are just waiting for the big news that the Space Army has promised,' the leading lieutenant thought.

Chapter 54: Albert Air Raid (5)

January 25, Year 0079.1.25 of the Universe (UC 10), at [-] o'clock in the evening, near the asteroid A Baoa Qu.

Abavacon is similar to Luna 2. It is a mining asteroid that was captured from the asteroid belt and then transferred to Side 3. However, this project was carried out by the Principality of Zeon, which strives to be self-sufficient in resources.

Since the possibility of military conflict between the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation has become more and more likely, Abavacon has been fortified accordingly as the last line of defense to defend the Principality of Zeon's homeland.

"Hatch——" Lieutenant Zeon, who was sitting comfortably on the recliner with his legs crossed, picked up a cup of synthetic coffee; the big screen in front of him showed the signal returned by the large radar installed in Abawa.

"Boy, how did you get assigned here?"

The lieutenant turned to look at the recently transferred recruit, who was still sitting in the operating seat with his back straight.

"This is a senior care department, and this is not the place for a newcomer like you."

The recruit was trembling with fear and had not yet adapted to the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere here - he had just escaped from the scolding of the devil-like instructors in the recruit training camp three days ago.

"Report... Lieutenant, I joined the army during the mobilization order in October last year. I was assigned here after three months of training!"

"Who asked you this? I mean, did you offend someone in the training camp?"

Perhaps the lieutenant's casual attitude, which is not like a soldier but more like a veteran cadre in the government department, infected the recruit and made him bold enough to ask:

"Probably not...Lieutenant, why do you say that? When I came here, I heard that this is the sentry tower that guards the entire Side 3. We are the vanguard soldiers who are always vigilant..."

"Nonsence!"

The lieutenant interrupted before he could finish.

"This was the propaganda when this department was first established many years ago. At that time, there had to be a lieutenant colonel in the surveillance room."

The lieutenant pointed to the empty room in the back, but it was enough to accommodate 30 people working at the same time, and most of the screens were dark and closed.

"Later, didn't our Principality of Zeon pay attention to spreading rice particles and then fighting at a visual distance? When we first tested the tactics, we also practiced them near our Abava Kong," the lieutenant tapped the ground with his toe.

"This radar is useless eight out of ten days. Look, for example right now..."

The radar display screen is almost covered with subtle interference left over from the dispersion of old rice particles, and at the edge of the display screen, there seems to be a new source of high-concentration rice particle dispersion.

"See? Nothing."

The lieutenant took a sip of coffee and said, "Since you have been assigned to me, don't think so much. There is no chance of making great achievements, but it is better to be free and safe..."

The lieutenant, who had been sitting alone in the surveillance room for many years, staring at the screen, could never stop talking once he started talking, sharing his fishing experience endlessly.

However, the newly assigned recruits obviously did not fully listen.

"Lieutenant, is this interference area moving a little too fast?"

The recruit pointed at the screen. The new source of meter particle dispersion was quickly passing through the radar's detection range.

"Huh?" The lieutenant was a little unhappy at being interrupted, but the next second, he was also frightened. The high-concentration rice particle interference that he just saw at the edge of the display screen had now spread to one-third of the screen length. .

"Which experimental unit is this speed?" The lieutenant touched his chin. The military training he had received a long time ago was warning him, but the long and boring time on duty had already worn away his sharpness.

"...Maybe there's something wrong with the radar. The spare parts of this radar have been out of supply for almost five years. It's not surprising that it can't hold up even if it's constantly being tinkered with."

"We should at least confirm with the headquarters?" the recruit suggested.

The lieutenant waved his hand, put down his cup and stood up.

"It hasn't happened in years. Don't move around here. I'll go find the maintenance engineer to troubleshoot the problem first." He left the room with that.

Only the recruit was left, carefully staring at the expanding interference range of rice particles on the screen, crossing Abavakong from a distance.

'This direction is towards the Zeon mainland! '

The recruit hesitated and waited uneasily for the lieutenant to return, watching helplessly as a interference belt continued to extend forward, heading straight for Side 3.

Turning to look at the door, the lieutenant hadn't come back yet. The recruit gritted his teeth and finally grabbed the duty phone in the surveillance room.

"...No? Are you mistaken? The main fleet has been deployed to the front to carry out the Second Britain Plan. How could there be... Do you confirm? Send the radar chart over. Yes, click to forward it to the Security Commander. department…"

After a few more minutes, the air raid siren sounded throughout Side 3.

--

On the San Diego, the e-book in Major Albert’s hand turned to the last page.

The speeding San Diego had completely abandoned all external boosters and propellant tanks, remained silent, and flew towards Side 3 relying on inertia.

"Commander, I can already see the location of the Side 3 colony group, but it's 5.7% off from what was expected."

The second Lagrange point located on the back side of the moon, where Side 3 is located, is not a stable gravitational equilibrium point, so the entire colony is also orbiting around L2 in a certain orbit.

The specific orbital parameters are naturally the highest level of national defense secrets of the Principality of Zeon, and due to the obstruction of the moon, it is difficult for the Federation Space Force to accurately observe the position of Side 3.

"Are you ready to adjust the bow of the ship and launch missiles, Commander?"

Santiago pointed to the image of the colony on the CIC's big screen and turned to look at Major Albert.

"No, this time, let me do it myself; also, correct the track and drive to Side 3."

Albert took over the authority of the bow missile launch tube, and all 10 nuclear warheads were ready for launch.

Santiago's main engine and attitude adjustment nozzle were activated at the same time, and the entire cruiser's hull trembled violently, drawing an arc in the void.

"Commander, you have deviated from the expected return trajectory," Santiago jumped up slightly, crossed the back of the chair from behind Major Albert's seat, and stood in front of him:

"If this continues, the remaining propellant will not be able to provide enough velocity change to return to Luna 2... No, it might just rush out of the Earth's circle..."

The girl looked at Major Albert with slightly worried eyes, testing his determination.

Albert's eyes stayed on Santiago for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

"I have made up my mind, Santiago. This distance does not guarantee breaking through Zeon's interception, and... I must witness with my own eyes the liquidation of hatred!"

Testimonials

Unexpectedly, I had already written 12 words in a blink of an eye. Originally, according to the plan, it was supposed to be published after the first part of Chapter 60 was completely written;

As a result, each chapter is actually a little longer than [-] words, so the word count requirement was reached ahead of schedule. I’m really sorry that it was stuck at this plot point and was released on the shelves.

The beginning of this book was because the author went to see Mercury Witch with the mentality of watching Gundam. Of course, it cannot be said that it is the mentality of watching Gundam to be precise;

Influenced by the Gundam the Origin (also known as GTO) series, which is also presented with more exquisite animation production technology in recent years, when I went to see Mercury Witch, I was expecting a battle similar to the Battle of Rum in Episode 5 of GTO. I went to see it in anticipation of the scene——

So of course, I was disappointed.

This is not a fair and objective evaluation of this animation. It is just that the author has some unrealistic expectations, but this also gave rise to the idea of ​​writing some Gundam fan fiction.

Therefore, the author wrote this book with the idea of ​​creating a grand war scene, emphasizing the national collective, social classes, and inherent and irreconcilable conflicts of interest——

Of course, that's what I'm saying. The author couldn't write the delicate descriptions of character growth and emotional changes in the original work, and the author couldn't understand people. So he conveniently gave the protagonist an artificial intelligence setting and carried out kindergarten-level Just a key policy.

That’s it, I’d like to apologize to the readers who see this:

As a new author, it was only after I started writing this book that I paid attention to studying writing methods and techniques, and then read popular online articles with a learning attitude;

Only then did I know the title, introduction, Golden Chapter 3, etc...

In this way, I can endure that the author is just talking about the setting in the first few chapters. I am very grateful to the readers who have followed it till now!

Of course, the author is also reviewing himself on some issues such as the pace of plot advancement. If you have any other questions and suggestions, you can also reply here.

I hope that in the following chapters, I can better show you the author's vision of the Gundam world and even the future of the entire human society. Thank you!

On the day it was released, there were 5 updates. Amateur authors can only do this much OTZ.

Chapter 55: Albert Air Raid (End) - The sun rises in Muzo

Major Albert's gaze went straight through the projection of the girl in front of him, and landed on the Side 3 colony on the big screen behind her.

Perhaps the brief time with Santiago allowed Major Albert to see a glimpse of the possibilities of the new world, but it was too late. Everything he owned had been buried under the rubble of the old era, and Albert could not walk alone.

Ever since Iphes fell to the earth, the blazing fire in Major Albert's eyes has never been extinguished, and now, the last flames of the burning firewood are bursting out.

"Is it hatred that drives you to do this?"

Santiago avoided Major Albert's sight and stood beside him again.

"Yes, as an AI, it's difficult for you to understand the behavior of humans killing each other, right?"

Santiago shook his head. Even from a logical and utilitarian perspective, not imposing corresponding punishment on sinners who committed evil deeds is harmful to society.

"No, I understand. Blood debt must be paid with blood. It is a matter of course. The Principality of Zeon has knocked down the first domino called hatred, but I don't want all the remaining dominoes to fall down."

"Then are you going to stop me, the second domino that has been knocked over, from pushing down more dominoes behind me?"

【I have no right to forgive】

"...No, I will only accompany you on the last journey."

Santiago averted her eyes slightly and looked forward; at a distance that was not enough for the human eye to distinguish, she had already observed the slight flash of tail flames of the Zeon interception force.

Major Albert lowered his head, as if he hadn't expected Santiago's answer.

"I'm sorry for bringing you into this. Originally, this was supposed to be my revenge, or the revenge of us homeless people who were harmed by Zeon."

Although the only thing left in his life is revenge, he is not so crazy that he cannot recognize the object of revenge and wantonly involves "unrelated persons".

A hand with five fingers spread suddenly stretched out from Albert's sight, and the slender fingers dangled in front of his eyes a few times;

"Okay, Commander, look at me, look at me. It would be better to say that this kind of high-risk mission should have been completed by a completely unmanned warship - please watch and let me take you to the destination safely."

The piercing enemy alarm sounded, and Major Albert suddenly raised his head and looked at the enemy situation display screen ahead - dozens of small bright spots marked in red were clearly visible.

"Why do federal warships appear here? Doesn't it mean that the federal space army fleet has been completely wiped out?!"

"Quick, stop it, that direction is Zeon mainland!"

At this time, in the Side 3 colony group, various alarm, accountability, and consultation signals were being rapidly exchanged among the colonial satellites. No one knew why a Federation cruiser appeared with malicious intent near the Zeon mainland.

The training and instruction group whose driving skills are still very immature, the local police force equipped with old models that have been withdrawn from active service by the front-line troops, and the aircraft units that were withdrawn from the Hart Battle a few days ago and returned to the factory for overhaul——

It was at this moment that he rushed out to intercept Santiago's troops.

Dozens of Zaku I (MS-05), which had been eliminated by the main force, rushed towards the direction of Santiago's attack;

The only weapons in these old models belonging to the training and teaching regiments and security forces are Zaku machine guns and old model rocket launchers that do not have nuclear strike capabilities.

[Identification threat level: low]

"No, don't be afraid, there is only one ship on the other side!"

Most of them were Zaku pilots who had experienced actual combat for the first time to cheer themselves up;

If a simple Salamis-class cruiser is certainly not enough to scare Zeon's arrogant Zaku pilots - in the boasts of those Zaku pilots who returned from the front line, the Salamis-class is the Zaku pilots. The fruits of war are within reach in ancient times;

But what if this Salamis now seems to be traveling faster than a mobile suit?

Although it was also a relative movement, for the first time Zaku's pilots felt that they were not rushing towards the federal warships, but that the federal warships were overwhelmingly crushing them——

It only took Santiago a moment from entering Zaku's observable range to directly approaching him.

"Fire!"

The Zakus held machine guns and opened fire one after another. Lines of fire rushed towards Santiago, but most of them fell behind her - the fire control advance used by the conventional Salamis class did not apply to the current Santiago.

And those few shots that hit it only left a few black ash and a few dents on Santiago's shell.

"Stop it!"

When other Zaku pilots tried to raid the Federation's warships from both sides according to the tactics they used in training, the Zeon sergeant who served as an instructor in the training force realized something was wrong:

Judging from the current close rate, if this continues, once it passes by this federal cruiser, Zaku doesn't know how long it will take to turn around and catch up with her.
