Gundam, Iron Banner

But now it seems that he is too naive.

In front of the organization, the strength of the individual is weak.How could the mere low-level soldiers be able to withstand the huge malice from top to bottom?The improvement route is simply not going to work.

Time to leave.

Titans is not my destination, and it is better to leave early before I fall into it.

You Bai looked numb.

He stood up, took a last look at the ground, patted the back of his dusty clothes, and walked towards the hangar.

At this moment, You Bai heard a burst of exclamation from the crowd.He understood immediately that the cockpit of "Hazel" was opened.

He hurried forward and saw the medical staff carrying the driver onto the stretcher.Captain Murphy didn't wear the standard uniform, and the blue-black Titans uniform was messed up with dark red blood. What is consoling is that the man's chest still heaved slightly, proving that this strong soul has not been taken away by death. .

The stone hanging in You Bai's heart finally fell to the ground.

The cockpit was cut but still survived, not even missing an arm or a leg, which is simply a great luck.

He looked up at Hazel.The chest armor of this machine has been scrapped, but the internal damage is not too great.Thick FA armor saved Wes Murphy's life.

Perhaps as Audrey April said, the best mobile suit is one that can protect the pilot.

"In one battle, two Gundams were hit in the cockpit, but the pilots all survived. Sure enough, the Gundam type is different from other MS. What do you think? New Human-kun."

Peter came to the side muttering strange words, and clapped Youbai's shoulder with his hand.

You Bai came back to his senses, smiled wryly and said, "You want to say that the mobile suits with Gundam faces are all monsters?"

"Anyway, Gundam and you, one of them has created a miracle."

"Me and Gundam are not worthy of superstition."

Peter made a joking smile: "Superstition? It is because I am a professional maintainer that I understand that machinery is not so reliable. In front of people like you, paper data is like a joke. It is obviously just an ordinary robot. It's really scary that it can still move after being beaten to pieces."

"It's just a coincidence under the influence of multiple factors. How can there be so many cheap miracles in the world? Leaving this aside, can the 'Riot Suppressor' be repaired well?"

Peter stared at You Bai several times, and waved his hand: "Don't expect it, it's completely scrapped. It just doesn't look good on the outside, and the internal frame is also tired to the point of failure, as if suffering from menopausal syndrome. I I dare not stand on it to read the data report, for fear that it will fall apart... In short, get ready to replace the phone. I’m here to inform you about this, don’t worry, the performance of the new phone is definitely much better than yours.”

You Bai was a little sad, and asked absent-mindedly: "I heard that the new mass-produced machine 'Gao Zhagu' is about to roll off the assembly line, and our team should be allocated one. Do you want to use it to replace 'Rioter'?"

"How is it possible? How can there be Zaku for new humans?" Peter sneered, looked up at Captain Murphy's car, and raised his head, "What do you think of it?"

You Bai followed his line of sight.

"... Hazel?"

Chapter 44: Promotion

With the mechanical sound of "嗡", the door of the captain's room opened, and You Bai, who was wearing a federal military uniform, walked in with a serious expression.

"Second Lieutenant You Bai came to report!"

Not long after he got the news that the plane was going to be changed, he received another order from Major Otto, asking him to come to the captain's room.

Although I had a hunch that I was going to be summoned, it was still a headache when things came.Major Otto had ordered Senior to be captured alive, but he shot her down with his own hands, presumably to lecture her.But You Bai was frank in his heart, he was looking for an opportunity to run away, so who cares what the leader thinks?

Unexpectedly, Major Otto didn't have a sullen look on his face, but had a gentle smile on his face, which made You Bai flustered.

"Don't be restrained, sit down."

Major Otto pointed to the chair in front of him. He sized You Bai up and down with a tired face, and said after a while, "Go back to Audrey to get two sets of Titans uniforms. It doesn't look good in this one. Let's The clothes of Titans are brighter."

"Titans uniform?"

You Bai stared, has this day finally come?

In fact, he was eligible to enter the Titans system before, but it was only delayed until today.

The timing was really coincidental. The team had just been severely injured, and he was conscripted into the Titans. What was the intention behind it?Are you planning to reuse yourself?

Unable to allow You Bai to refuse, the captain simply changed the subject: "How is Murphy's injury?"

Speaking of the captain, You Bai's mood was much lower: "The injury was serious. Although his life was saved, the rescue was delayed for too long. It is hard to say when he will wake up. If it is soon, he will wake up tomorrow. If it is too long, it may be delayed." Ten days and half a month."

"That's right," Major Otto nodded, and said casually, "Then next mission, you will be the captain, and 'Hazel' will also be tested by you."

You Bai opened his eyes wide: "I'm the captain? No, I still—"

"That's it. Before the next month's mission starts, do the repair work of 'Hazel' as soon as possible. You have to pay attention to the test machine, hurry up and supervise, I will give you the maximum authority, and upgrade the Gundam before the end of the month Done. As for the captain's other tasks, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Audrey."

Perhaps seeing the exhaustion on Youbai's face, Major Otto purposely spoke at a rather fast pace, thinking of getting the job done early and letting the driver rest.Before You Bai could refuse, he arranged the news of his promotion together with the next task.

He had good intentions, but You Bai got anxious after hearing this.

"Wait! Major, please wait!"

"Ok?"

Ao Tu's eyes met with You Bai's.

This man is almost beyond the middle-aged category, but his eyes are still burning with flames, and his eyes are so bright that people want to bow their heads unconsciously.Fortunately, You Bai was ready to leave Titans, and he had nothing to fear from the leader. He said bluntly, "With all due respect, I don't have the ability to be the captain. Please take back your decision."

silence.

Major Otto frowned slightly, and he looked at You Bai again, different from before, with playfulness in his eyes.

"Interesting. If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have expressed your true thoughts in front of me." He paused, "Why don't you want to be the captain? Promotion should be a good thing, or do you have other plans? "

"I don't have that strong ability, and my qualifications are not enough to convince the crowd. In addition, the task you gave me has not been completed, so it is really difficult for me to be the captain."

"It doesn't matter!"

Otto waved his hand, "Although you didn't join the Titans before, you have been in the military for half a year, and your qualifications are enough. Not to mention your ability, you won nine downed machines in one battle, and two of them were the captain's machine. Needless to say Doubt, now you are a well-deserved top pilot. As for the thing I said before... don't take it to heart, it is more important than anything else that you can come back alive."

"Living is more important than anything else?" You Bai chewed on this sentence, and whispered, "Is that really the case?"

After finishing speaking, You Bai found that the other party was narrowing his eyes and looking at this side.

Those eyes were very sharp, as if they wanted to pierce the soul through the skin.

Two seconds later, Major Otto let out a slight snort in his nasal cavity, and a little helplessness appeared on his face.

"I can tell, Second Lieutenant Bai You. You don't seem to be very satisfied with me?"

You Bai pursed his lips, and said apologetically, "I'm not targeting you."

Otto nodded thoughtfully: "So you don't like Titans? No wonder you refuse to be the captain."

Seeing that You Bai didn't speak, he closed his eyes and leaned back, putting his whole body weight on the back of the seat, rubbing his temple with his right hand.

After a long silence, he lowered his voice and said: "I understand, I know... You must have learned some secrets, and those things must have caused you a great blow. I am very sorry and sorry for this."

"...Is it just regret and sorry?"

Otto shook his head: "To tell you the truth, the interior of Titans is not monolithic. Although General Djamitov is a capable and talented leader, the universe is far away from the emperor, and there are too many opportunities for Basque to make moves. I can't help it."

The topic gradually came to a more secret place, You Bai unconsciously leaned down, squinted his eyes and asked: "You mean, those things are all Basque's arbitrary, and have nothing to do with you or the person at the top Does it matter?"

Otto opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"It's hard to believe, right? But it's true. Basque is a butcher, how can he be a politician? Only he can do things that completely push the residents of the universe to the opposite."

You Bai didn't speak, with obvious displeasure on his face.

But Ao Tu didn't care about this point of impoliteness. On the contrary, he thought it was You Bai showing his true attitude, so he said without the slightest concealment: "It seems that you don't have much trust in me."

"You're joking, I'm just curious why you would..."

"Why did you honestly tell the black material about Titans?"

Otto looked back with playful eyes, nodded and said, "The reason is very simple, because I want to deal with Basque."

"Huh?" You Baiwen frowned.

Major Otto stood up, walked to the window, looked at the wreck not far away, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"I got the news that that guy will take office as the commander-in-chief of Titans on the 31st. By then, it will be a thousand times more difficult to defeat him than it is now. Second Lieutenant Bai You, I need your help."

"Down with Basque Ohm?"

"That's right. I want to become the second in command of Titans, and then rectify the ugly atmosphere of Titans. By then, the earth circle will usher in real peace."

What rose in Otto's eyes was a flame named "Ambition".

Chapter 45: Otto

Today's Titans can be said to be in full swing, and there is no match for them in the entire universe.At this point in time, Major Otto's appetite for targeting the second in command of the strongest organization was obvious.

You Bai didn't think there was anything wrong.

Politicians without ambition are pure rubbish.From this perspective, Major Otto is indeed a capable person.

While Ao Tu was examining You Bai, You Bai was also making a judgment on him in his heart.

"This man can become the commander of the Jinping Island base with the rank of major, which shows that he does not lack political resources. In contrast, it is even more difficult to find an ace pilot who obeys his orders."

This is easy to understand.

Although Titans is an elite force, the pilots are divided into two types: one is the academics who have only received training and have excellent grades but have never been on the battlefield.The other is a veteran pilot left over from the One Year War.

The combat power of the academic faction itself may not be very strong, let's not talk about this group of people.The veterans with high strength were very pragmatic. If they were to choose to join Basque and Otto, they would of course choose Basque Ohm, who had a higher official position and was more appreciated by Djamitov.

This also created an embarrassing situation. Although Major Otto's official position is high enough, there are not many capable people available under his command.

Considering this, it is only natural that he recruited You Bai.

"Since he is aiming at the second in command of Titans, he will naturally try his best to win over the new force. The appearance of me, a wild new human, is like nectar for him after a long drought, especially since I have a good record in the battle, unless he is a fool. Don't be nice to me.

"It's conceivable that if he can gain power, I will be reused. Not to mention smooth progress, at least it will be smooth sailing. It's a pity that this so-called official career is actually vain..."

You Bai narrowed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Not to mention that he has no intention of being an official, as a time traveler, there is one thing he will never forget.

In the original plot, Titans will be wiped out sooner or later, and that day is not far away, and it will be a few years later.In a precarious building, how can there be any real future at all?

Major Otto's starting point is good, he wants to overthrow Basque and change the atmosphere of Titans.But here's the problem: Titans' disregard for human life is so ingrained that it can't be eradicated by killing a Basque Ohm.

Ao Tu couldn't wait, and said with burning eyes: "How? Second Lieutenant You, you are a strong fighter, the talent I need most at the moment. Can you be my sharp blade? In exchange, I will try my best to protect you. After all, we are It’s just people on the road.”

He could see that You Bai had already made a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to put another straw on it, for fear that the newly born ace pilot would run away.

It's a pity that You Bai has already made a decision: "Sorry, Captain. I have no intention of becoming the captain of the Black Otter Squad. To be precise, I want to quit the army. Please allow me to leave the ship."

Otto's face was not very good-looking.

"No room for maneuver?"

You Bai didn't look at him, and said in a low voice: "Most people in the world are forgetful. No matter how much pain they endured when they were injured, time will heal the scars. In the end, the pain turned into a page of records in memory, Turn it over and it doesn’t exist anymore.”

Major Otto said thoughtfully: "Then you must not be among them."

You Bai paused for a moment, noncommittal, with a bitter smile on his face: "The rest of the small group of people are stupid. Because they know the pain, they can't forget it. A fool like this, even if he knows that his persistence is meaningless , and they bang their heads against the wall again and again."

"I admire people like that."

"No, Major, they don't need anyone's admiration, they just want to get through the hurdle in their hearts, that's all."

The wry smile on You Bai's face was completely put away, replaced by a more decent smile.

"Major, I can't follow the banner of Titans, but you intend to become its leader, how can we be the same way?"

"..."

Major Otto didn't show his emotions on his face, but his back was straighter than before.

Half a minute ago, he still communicated with the attitude of a leader facing a subordinate, but now, he is sitting upright, as if facing a senior official of the same level as himself.The sense of scrutiny in the line of sight also disappeared, and the eyes became deeper, making it difficult for You Bai, who was still immature in dealing with people, to understand.

Otto thought about it and said, "I'm sorry that I can't continue to work with you."

There was a bit of regret in the man's tone.

You Bai could understand the meaning of the words, and smiled lightly: "When the captain is in better health, I should hand in my resignation. However, even if we part ways in the end, at least you and I are fighting for peace. Until we leave, we will They will overcome obstacles for you."

"Is it……"

Ao Tuo no longer expected You Bai to be his trump card, so he didn't try to persuade him any more, but just sighed.Although You Bai made his stand clear, he didn't think You Bai would become his enemy, anyway, with this kid's personality, it was impossible for him to join the remnants of Jean's party.

"I can understand your feelings. It's just that you have to go through the formalities for retiring from the army, especially if you stay in the test unit. It's not easy to leave. It will take a long time. Even if you leave, you may still be under surveillance."

"I see."

"It's good to understand. Before you leave Titans, I will try my best to protect you. Don't put off being the captain, you do it first, and return the duties to Murphy when he recovers. It's okay, right? "
