My machine combat simulator has come true

"No. They should have thought about it. Since it is an object that they can't figure out on their own, it might as well be false, and use who will be interested in it and who will not be interested, so as to conduct a reverse source investigation... and EU , must have been excluded from the scope of possibility by them."

"I see. Is it the so-called mutual use..."

"It's better to call it what it wants—you can leave now if there's nothing else to report?"

"…receive!"

After paying a military salute to Nan Wanxing, the soldier turned and left.

Nan Wanxing was left alone in the room thinking silently.

Now, not only the Human Revolutionary Federation, but even the EU is also concerned about the matter of the Red One...?

"…Look. The world is watching you."

Nan Wanxing's slender fingertips touched the glass porthole with a cold breath.

"—Then. Are you somewhere, silently witnessing such a world? ... Just like the moon."

Looking outside, the gradually rising incomplete crescent moon——

She muttered to herself as if feeling something.

At the same time, he left the base of the Human Revolutionary League, and was running fast in a jeep on the bumpy road in Tianzhu.

"Really. I'm almost exhausted! ——That Captain Nan, his words are really strict. After so long, he didn't get a decent result...I said, McGillis. Why did it have to be You and I, will you take over the drudgery of going abroad?"

In the driver's seat, the young man with purple hair—Galio Baduwen complained to his partner, McGillis Farid at this moment.

"There is no way around this. After all, among the members of the Seven Star Family this year, only you and I are left, who are military figures who are not very conspicuous now. And now the Romfila Consortium needs a direct Qiezi, to ensure that they have full control over this secret investigation..."

"...Does that mean that we are just necessary cameras and microphones? Really——Although I am not qualified to say this, but like this, let the big men behind the scenes be manipulated by the army as they like. , is there really any value in existence?"

It sounds like this young military officer, who was born in a son-in-law, is somewhat dissatisfied with the status quo of the EU.

And this dissatisfaction extends even further to his own organization:

"Also, the same thing happened with that Torukis. It was scrapped and scrapped because no one could find anyone to ride it, but now it's just for the sake of it. What's the use of traces...? Whether it's the consortium or the military, they don't understand their thinking at all..."

While listening to his friend's complaints, McGillis chuckled and said:

"...After all, there are rumors that the elimination of Torukis is nothing more than a cover."

"It's a pretense. Uh... hey, a pretense?"

Realizing that the bait he deliberately threw was bitten off by his old friend, McGillis couldn't help showing a successful expression:

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

"That's right. In order to cover up the real purpose - to eliminate the existence of 'Gundam' - it's just a pretense to be played out. I guess, the current consortium also cares about it."

"Gundam... Even if you say that, it's just the ghost of a company. That kind of thing is not worth mentioning."

"It's not just their undead. Have you heard of it, Galio? In the land of EU, it's been passed down from generation to generation..."

McGillis' expression turned serious at this moment.

"The legend of 'Agunica Kayer'."

"Oh. That. It's true that in the composition class, there are many selected passages for reference, right?"

Contrary to the serious McGillis, Galio just replied casually.

"The hero named Agunica drove the giant named Gundam to fight against the bird-shaped clever monsters that once ravaged the world... Oh, remember that you liked these texts very much back then I even went to the library and made a copy of the original text of the ancient book, right?"

Having said that, Galio couldn't help but stop talking, and cast a playful look at McGillis beside him.

And the other party also smiled lightly and spread his hands, expressing a kind of noncommittal emotion.

So, in this tacit atmosphere, the conversation naturally moved backwards:

"I knew it... and it is precisely because of this that at that time, Oakes Earth also wanted to give their products the name 'Gundam'—a name that symbolizes legends. Is there any problem with what I said?"

"Yes. But in fact, it seems that it may not be the case."

Lying on his back along the adjustable seat of the passenger seat, McGillis also crossed his hands at almost waist level.

"It's not that there is a 'Legend' first, so there is a weapon named 'Gundam'. It's because of the existence of 'Gundam' that the 'Legend' can be established... There is also such a possibility, Galio .”

"How come... you mean, the so-called 'Gundam' actually exists?"

"That's right. According to the results I obtained from my investigation through personal information channels, EU... No. It can even be said that the origin of MS technology in this world is not the product of a breakthrough in the current advanced technology field—"

The ending seemed to want to leave suspense, and then McGillis continued slowly.

"——It's the reappearance of some kind of incomprehensible ancient technology. The previous excavation report on some of the relics on this planet also revealed that there seemed to be something that existed once on this planet... no, quite a few times. the possibility of a flourishing civilization."

Hearing this somewhat sensational inference, Galio's hands that were holding the steering wheel couldn't help but froze.

"...Hey. In other words, the source of the black technology provided by those 'whisperers' is actually...?"

"Hmm. Maybe it's something conveyed by an ancient existence on this planet."

McGillis paused.

"The next thing is just my personal speculation:"

"...In those days, the 'Gundam' type mobile suits would be wiped out without leaving a trace together with the Oaks Earth enterprise itself...That is the reason why the 'Witch Hunt' action took place. Not just because The technology they research violates basic human ethics—"

He sighed.

"——It's because their restoration of 'black technology' has reached an unmatched level. The thing called 'Gundam' in the legend can also be almost restored... What's more, they It is possible that I have already had preliminary contact with those ultra-ancient histories—let’s call them “black history” first—related matters.”

And Galio, who manipulated the steering wheel with one hand and let the other hand rest on his chin to meditate quietly, responded like this:

"So that's it. Then, what will happen if the thing called 'black history' is clear?"

"I don't dare to presume this at will. It's just to see the consortium's reaction to the Oaks Earth incident... at least it's not something that can be solved with a nod."

"...Hey, it's rare that you can't make a conclusion with your brain. But I said, these reasonings, do you dare to be frank with your father in your own home?"

To Galio's question, McGillis just shrugged his shoulders.

"It is precisely because I dare not say it that I can only tell you the whole story here."

"I knew it—ah. I'm in the camp. ... I'm going to go to the town to buy some supplies. How about you, McGillis?"

It seems that this is the end of the journey.Galio stopped the jeep, turned to McGillis and asked casually.

The other party just shook his head, then opened the car door and went down:

"I don't need it. I don't have anything I want... By the way, Almelia, are you learning how to make tea recently? It's hard to get here. If you buy her some high-quality tea to take home,"

"That's right... No! You can't offer this level of hospitality yourself, McGillis! Is she your fiancée or mine!"

"It's true that she is my fiancée. But before that, she was your sister, right?"

"...Ah. Good! I understand!...Really, no matter how many years have passed, I still can't talk about you...!"

Complaining with a bit of a smile, Galio drove away in the dust.

"'Red One'…"

After watching his friend leave, reciting the name of the purpose of his visit, the blond young man stood up in the wilderness.

Looking at the endless plains in front of him, McGillis habitually twirled the golden bangs hanging from his forehead.

"Do you really, just want to be a mysterious warrior? Or..."

Then, he showed a sly smile like a fox.

"Are you also the one who wants to write a new 'Legend of Bayel' in this era?...I'm really looking forward to the day I meet you, when it comes..."

Chapter 69 In the gap between battle and daily life (4) [[-]k words]

But, at the moment.

Unlike the laid-back McGillis—

The EU Human Revolutionary Federation volunteered to assist the mecha combat troops in the temporary settlement of Tianzhu.

There are some characters in the rough house with small space-wounded by a lot of anxiety.

"So! If you have doubts about that machine from the beginning, why don't you just decide how to destroy it! ...Damn it, that's why I said that those yellow-haired boys are not worthy of trust...Even so, the power to decide Leave it to them. Didn’t Mr. Rembrandt think about it?! It’s time to exclude things like the Seven Star Family from the consortium’s decision-making system...!"

——This man who was pacing impatiently in the room, with the appearance of "thief-eyed and mouse-eyed", was the nominal troop commander and commander of the dispatched troop, "Connor Conrad ".

But just look at the three words "in name": In fact, he doesn't have much actual power in this army.

After all, in this army, those who don't know the relationship between the Romfila consortium and the army are fine...

But those who knew the inside story of the EU military, Romfila, and the Seven Stars family would undoubtedly not pay much attention to his title of "troop commander".

Because they can understand very well that Connor is just a pawn who was placed in the position of army commander.

And it was the two young men directly related to the Seven Star family who really decided the unit's action plan.

Of course, there are not many people who will complain about this.

After all, although McGillis and Galio are not well-known, they are indeed very talented and strategic.

Therefore, following their orders is not something that will make people feel uncomfortable...

"Ah. Damn. Damn! Damn!!"

However, seeing Connor's unwillingness to the extreme, and then turning away, he kept grabbing the wall with his head...

It is not difficult to understand that he is a member of the so-called "minority".

And just when he thought that there was no one around, he vented the emotions accumulated in his heart as much as possible.

The report from the outside world interrupted his antics:

"Minister Conrad. . . . Ah, sorry. It was a bit abrupt. Inspector McGillis, just handed us a further report on the current situation. Said yes, in the process of conducting the "Red One" Before formal contact, any pre-planning is not recommended, especially in combat..."

It is said to be "report" and "recommendation", but it is actually a sentence that is no different from "order".

Even Connor knew about this kind of thing.

and so--

"That kind of thing, let him die!"

He yelled so angrily.

And then, Connor also noticed that this behavior could no longer be described as "a little gaffe".

So he coughed lightly again, as if he wanted to regain some of his majesty as a commander from this action.

"...cough. What I mean is, there is no need to regard their orders as unshakable standards... Although they are members of the Seven Star family, I am the commander on the spot! There is no need to listen to the guys behind the scenes on the battlefield. Long-winded... move your head and think about it, right Kronk, is that right?!"

Using a series of fierce inquiries to seek approval from this lowly official who also has no backing——

Unfortunately, Connor did not achieve his ideal results.

Because, the man dressed as a soldier named Kronk just sighed and responded seriously:

"...But those two are the direct monitors sent by the Seven Stars family. We don't have the authority to change the course of action they set up without authorization..."

"Of course I know about this kind of thing! I know it very well! But... hey, that's it! Second Lieutenant Kronk, you just step down!... It's as if you feel that you don't have the authority to interfere with the Seven Star Family, you should also be clear. In the army, a low-level officer like you has no right to criticize the decision-making of the higher-ups!"

Although he seemed to want to say something, after all, the other party had lifted the heavy weight of his official rank and military rank.

"...Understood. I was being rude, Commander Conrad."

So the gray-haired middle-aged man with scars carved on his lips had no choice but to bow silently and retreat.

Facing such a scene, Connor just pursed his lips in disdain, and then continued to talk to himself:

"Hmph. This is the same as that, why don't you understand the truth! ...Let that kind of person be responsible, no matter what...wait. That's right!"

Speaking of this, Connor suddenly clapped his hands, showing a sudden realization expression.

"Since they are the 'inspectors' who came to take the lead, doesn't that mean that no matter what 'accidents' occur in the battle, they can all be blamed on them who are disadvantaged in the inspection...? At that time, not only These two brats, the power behind them must also be timid...!"

And then, touching his forehead which was already a little red and swollen, he suddenly showed a quite confident smile.

"... Hehe. What seven-star family! It's time for the old-fashioned guys who only rely on family lineage and blood relationship to survive on such illusory things to step down from the decision-making level of the Romfila Consortium!... Just right, Since you are here to monitor the operation, then keep your eyes open and watch carefully! I will use my own method to completely eradicate all hidden dangers of "Gundam" without even a trace Leave it to him! . . . "

Then he clenched his fists and muttered dangerously.

At the same time, it was late at night on Penglai Island.
