Gundam, Iron Banner

You Bai laughed, and blurted out words of thanks.

Even the so-called new human beings are, in the final analysis, just ordinary "people", and no one can walk to the end of their ideals alone.But Camus can understand himself, there is nothing better than this.

In a corner behind, Cobatro was watching this side silently, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 110 Six: Gathering

Gaburo's raid is over.

Essentially speaking, Aogu suffered the biggest fiasco since the war began. It is really frustrating to fail to capture Gaburo after dropping more than 80 mobile suits.However, compared with morale, You Bai felt that the other side was more difficult.

The earth is the bottom of a well bound by gravity. It is difficult to get out after falling into the well.

"Sure enough, we can only hand over the mobile suit to Karabar? Sigh, let the pilot go back to the universe alone? Tsk tsk, the people above really figured it out. Without the mobile suit, what is the use of our group coming here? Shall we have rice?"

The above are the original words of Apoli in the meeting.

He is Cobatro's deputy, has sufficient combat experience, and has a much clearer judgment of the situation than ordinary drivers.Even if he spoke discouraging words, one can imagine what other people would think of the current situation.

In this regard, Cobatro holds the opposite view.He adjusted his sitting position to a more comfortable state: "There is no need to be so pessimistic. At least we now have two Garudas, which is quite beneficial to combat. Moreover, the strength of Karaba is also trustworthy. I heard that their There is a pilot from the 'White Base' in the top ranks. It seems to be Hayato Kobayashi, right? That is an excellent pilot."

"But they suffered a big defeat in the past two months, didn't they? I heard that the secret base on the Kamchatka Peninsula was destroyed by the experimental troops of Titans..."

"Experimental troops?"

You Bai was a little concerned about this.He did know that Karabar's stronghold was destroyed, but it was the first time he had heard a certain word mentioned by the other party, which made him have a bad association.

Apoli nodded and said: "The man who was rescued with Rekoa said it before the meeting. It seems that he encountered a team of Gundam. The strength of that team is terrifying. The people of Calabas crushed."

"...Isn't there a rabbit crest painted on the shoulders?"

"You can guess all this? Are you an acquaintance?"

After receiving this exact reply, You Bai took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to calm down, feeling quite helpless in his heart: "The rabbit coat of arms, that is the logo of the Black Otter Squad." '

"Can you figure out where that team will go next?"

"God knows, why don't you ask that man yourself, he is a reporter and he should have a lot of information in his hands."

"what is his name?"

"Haha, I didn't ask."

……

The interior space of Garuda is quite spacious, and it is really difficult to walk around every corner in a short while.

You Bai failed to find the reporter, but met a frustrated Second Lieutenant Rekoa Lante instead.She huddled on the seat in the corner of the "Odomula", staring out the window with empty eyes, her face was very haggard.

When she saw You Bai approaching, a distressed smile appeared on her face: "The mission failed, sorry, Lieutenant You Bai."

"Now I'm a captain." You Bai pointed to the military rank on the collar, which has three teeth on it.His promotion was after Rekoya set off to Earth, of course the other party couldn't think of it.

"Is that so...well, well, congratulations."

"Actually, it's good to call me a lieutenant. It's not easy to confuse me with Captain Cobatro."

"Stop teasing me..." She had a forced smile on her face, "If the task is done like this, how can I be ashamed?"

"Don't worry, no one blames you."

"This kind of comfort is not strong at all."

Rekoya quite disagrees with You Bai's words.

As a scout, she did not fulfill her duties at all, not to mention that the information was not sent out, and she was even arrested.If it weren't for Camus's new human ability, she would have been buried with Gabroqui at this moment.

Of course, as You Bai said, no one blamed her.Everyone knows the difficulty of sneaking into combat, so how can you be too harsh on a young woman?

It's a pity that Reikoa is a woman with strong self-esteem, she can't get over this test in her heart.

"What a mess. I was arrested as soon as I arrived on the earth. If Mr. Kai hadn't shown up in time to save me, maybe I would have been raped... Then I would really be ashamed to see people, lose my dignity or something , no woman can bear this kind of crime, right?"

The woman in front of her was even more forthright than You Bai thought, and she was able to say things that most people would be ashamed to say.Without the femininity, You Bai felt that this person was easy to get along with.It's a pity that he himself is a conservative type, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Seeing this, Reikoa finally laughed: "Oh! There's no need to look at me like that, and I'm not really being taken advantage of."

You Bai broke out in a cold sweat, he was not good at contacting this type of woman at all.

Fortunately, the other party changed the subject in time: "But then again, that guy named Kai is quite suspicious."

"suspicious?"

"Well... At that time, not long after I arrived on Earth, I was caught by the patrolling federal soldiers when I was crossing the river, and he saved me. He said he was a freelance reporter, but I don't think so, that man His skills are quite good, and his shooting skills are also very exquisite. At first glance, he can tell that he is from a military background. I am afraid he has experienced a lot of battles. He is also very courageous. He even took me to sneak in this morning, preparing to send information to 'Agama'. But in the end As you know, we were arrested...Fortunately, the federal army is busy moving and has no time to monitor us, otherwise we will suffer a lot."

After hearing this, You Bai also felt that Mr. Kai was absolutely unusual, either a soldier or a spy, no matter what, he was too abnormal for a reporter.So he asked, "After talking so much, what is his name?"

Rekoa paused, raised her eyebrows and said, "He said his name is Kai Xiting. Captain You Bai, have you heard of this name?"

Hearing this name, You Bai became even more surprised: "Kay Xiting? Isn't that the name of one of the crew members of the 'White Base'? Second Lieutenant Rekoa, you don't even know the most famous ones from the One Year War. Heroes don’t even recognize it.”

Hearing this, Rekoya was also taken aback.

"I—cough! Well, I really don't like watching the news..."

……

In the empty conference room, Cobatro sat alone on the armchair, recalling what happened on the battlefield today.

A nuclear explosion on the earth, even in the eyes of Cobatro, a former Zeon soldier, is a very extraordinary thing.There is an essential difference between attacking the enemy's headquarters and detonating your own army's headquarters by yourself. It goes without saying which is more unpopular to be cruel to the enemy or cruel to the opponent.Of course, he also knows that it's boring to compare bad, and neither side is a good thing.

"It is precisely because Jinn is stupid that he ended up in this state. Perhaps this also symbolizes that the Titans and the Federation will be destroyed sooner or later?... When they are destroyed, this environment may still return to its original appearance. Hmm , there is hope."

With that in mind, Cobatro closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a few minutes.

But before he fell asleep, the communicator suddenly rang.

"Captain! Enemy shadows are found ahead!"

Cobatro woke up immediately, grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's the quantity?"

"One!"

"One?" He repeated with a frown, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, he immediately ordered, "Don't attack, it might be someone from Karaba."

As the shadow of the machine approached, everyone discovered that it was actually an old-fashioned delta-wing aircraft.Its wings waved up and down with the wind, indicating that it was not hostile.

Soon, the old bomber flew into the hangar of the "Odomura", and a burly man in a flight jacket came out of the cockpit.

That's Calabar's upper echelon: Kobayashi Hayato.

Looking at that thick figure, Cobatro felt as if he was drawn by some kind of fate.Now more than half of the core figures of the White Base have appeared, who is left—

"It's about time to show up? Amuro..."

Cobatro mentally repeated the name that had been repeated countless times.

Chapter 110 Seven: Mask

It is a matter of course that Karabar came. This is part of the plan. Aogu will hand over all the mobile suits to Karabar. However, what people care about is the identity of the comer.

Kobayashi Hayato, that was the hero in the last war, and now he seems to be the leader of Karabar?It is really reassuring that such a person is personally dispatched.At least as far as You Bai saw, the faces of the ancient soldiers in the ship were all smiling rarely.

After a short greeting, Hayato Kobayashi followed everyone into the conference room to discuss the next battle strategy.

It's a discussion, but it's actually a reconfirmation of the original plan.The two Garuda-class ships will go to the Kennedy Space Airport, and use the old space shuttle there to allow the pilots of Aogu to return to the universe.

The plan is of course very simple, but the risk factor is still quite high.At present, the entire earth is under the surveillance of the Federation Army, and the Kennedy Space Airport is one of the aviation hubs of the Earth Federation Army. The surveillance must be very strict. How could it not be noticed?

In this case, it is not surprising that enemies appear at any time.

Hayato Kobayashi didn't even have time to meet up with old friends. After deciding on the plan, he immediately drove his plane to lead the way, followed by two Garudas.

It is valuable to save time as much as possible. On the way, he was not attacked by the enemy. After two days of long travel, Ogu came to the sky above Kennedy Airport.

Looking out from Odomula's window, there are dozens of space shuttle launch pads on the other side of the space airport. They are all old things from the immigration era, and they look like roller coasters in an amusement park.Although You Bai had never been to an amusement park himself, that was the feeling anyway.

"Odomra, Sudeli, please use runway B!" Hayato's voice was slightly audible in the noise.

"understood."

Lights lit up ahead, and two tracks appeared on the ground.The pilots of the two Garudas landed one after another from the designated runway and shut down their engines.

There are still a lot of things to do here. In addition to moving the space shuttle, there are prisoners of war release, material handling, and MS transfer. These are not small projects.Especially mobile suits, after two battles, there are about [-] Augu's mechas left, and most of them have to be transferred to the same Garuda class, which is quite time-consuming.

Below Odomura, Kobayashi Hayato just got out of the cockpit of the plane and was running towards the jeep.

Cobatro looked at the back, and whispered to You Bai: "I really don't like the name Calaba."

Although You Bai understood the reason, he still listened to him.

Cobatro swayed his right hand twice in the air, and said with a smile: "After all, you see, Calaba seems to be a religious term, right? It gives people the feeling of a secret society in the Middle Ages."

You Bai laughed: "The religious one is called Kabbalah."

"Is that right?"

"Probably...but I'm Asian, so I don't know much about Western religions."

While talking, Hayato came to the bridge, waved to Yubai and Cobatro from outside the door, and let them go to the car.Seeing this, You Bai took Camus, who was out of the situation, along with him.

On the way, Hayato took out a document from the actions of the co-pilot and handed it to Cobatro in the back row.

"Look at this."

"...Augusta Institute's direct-administered troops defected to Titans? Is the news reliable?" Cobatro looked at the title, and his face became sour.

"Augusta Research Institute? Isn't that in North America?"

You Bai asked subconsciously.

He is now considered a high-level figure in Aogu, and even has a few intelligence personnel under him. It is not surprising to know how much this kind of information is.

However, Augusta Institute has not only heard about Augusta Research Institute. When he was still in Titans, he had heard that there was a New Human Research Institute in North America. Learn more.

Cobatro quickly flipped through the document, and then handed it to You Bai, asking him to read it too.

Sure enough, You Bai found the name Augusta Research Institute on it.

"...It should be very close to here, right?"

Hayato Kobayashi nodded immediately: "That's right, it's near the lakeside of Mount Clark, and it's only a stone's throw away from here."

Camus, who was listening, became more and more worried: "Two Garudas landed here, wouldn't it make this place more dangerous? Has Mr. Hayato's family evacuated?"

"It doesn't matter, my wife and three children have been transferred out. They are all at Amuro's side now, and they will transfer to Japan by plane later."

"... Amuro?"

Hearing this name, a light flashed under Cobatello's sunglasses, "Where is he now?"

"Do you care, Captain Cobatello?"

"...Soldiers who have experienced a year of war will inevitably care about this name. Don't you think so? Captain You Bai."

You Bai glanced at him, feeling a little upset.Did you just kick the ball to my side because you were afraid of showing cowardice?What a disgrace.So he replied flatly: "Who knows, I haven't fought a war for a year."

Seeing You Bai's attitude, Cobatro also knew that he had said something wrong, so he laughed twice and didn't speak again.

Hayato Kobayashi glanced at Cobatro from the rearview mirror, staring at his sunglasses covering the upper half of his face, thinking that this thing really looks like a mask.

The jeep drove into the factory, and Hayato Kobayashi called the surrounding men to speed up the movement of materials.After pushing away the people around him, he finally opened his mouth and said:

"Is it just out of the longing for a celebrity? I can't see it. Kai also said the same in the letter to me, saying that you are Char Aznab. But I still hope that you can tell me, Captain, what is the matter?" how?"

"summer--"

Camus was startled and almost cried out.You Bai quickly covered his mouth, motioning for him to keep silent.

Cobatro got out of the car, leaned on the car door and said with a smile: "Kai Siting said I was Char Aznab? This is very strange... Why should Char help Aogu? He is Gene Besides, why should he change his face? It would be more convenient to use his original identity."

Hayato Kobayashi took out a letter from the inner pocket of his flight jacket and shook it in his hand.

"Because the current Char is a coward. That's what Kay wrote to me: 'Captain Cobatello is Char. If so, I don't like the courageous thugs who use false names to fight the Federation. He was originally a A more capable person, at least I think so. However, when he returned to the earth circle, he would only hide his name. This is the act of a coward. After checking Char's background experience, he clearly has the intention to reorganize the federal government However, I exile myself in the battle. I hate to see his virtue, so I act alone...' You ask why Shaar will assist Aogu? Because he is a man who will set his sights on high places .”

Eyes...?

You Bai looked at Cobatello, from his perspective, he could just see the expression on the man's sunglasses.

Hesitation, delay, these negative states deeply bury the brilliance of hope.

Perhaps it was caused by the soul resonance among the new humans, You Bai immediately understood one thing:

This man, who goes by the pseudonym Cobatro, is weak in nature.
