Gundam, Iron Banner

……

It was said to be sneaking in, but in fact there were no waves in the course of action.

The Federal Army and the Titans did not expect that the Odomura would detour to other places. Hayato Kobayashi released Yubai and Bertodika alone, and the two drove the plane called Comet to neighboring countries, and then Transfer to the ferry and slowly go to Senegal.

And when they arrived in Dakar, Captain Cobatro and Brigadier General Blakes happened to arrive on the same day.

You Bai is very fortunate to have brought Beto Tijia, otherwise, based on his understanding of this era, it may not be easy to reach Dakar quickly.

And when they successfully merged with Captain Cobatro, the person who was embarrassed by You Bai's pseudonym became Cobatro.

The man named Xia once looked at the work card on You Bai's chest, and fell into a trance for a moment.The half of his face under the sunglasses became very exciting, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally all his helplessness turned into a sigh: "Captain You Bai really has a way of teasing people... ..."

You Bai must have broken the jar, he was ridiculed by Bertodiga all the way, and now he has practiced so that he will not be broken by the unique gaze of others, shrugged: "Anyway, you are not Shaar, it doesn't matter, right?"

"...That's right."

Cobatro sighed, shifted the topic away, looked down at the storage device in his palm, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the evidence that the Federal Army conducted human experiments?"

"Captain Hayato and I can't tell which ones you need to use, so we just brought them all. I'll trouble you and the Commodore General to make a distinction later."

Cobatro put things in his suit pocket: "It's okay, this is the best."

You Bai smiled and nodded, and then asked about the things he was most concerned about: "How is the battle on the moon? It was said earlier that the Titans army is suppressing the border, and has Von Braun been occupied?"

According to his thinking, if von Braun is suppressed by the Titans, there is a high probability that the bill will be passed this time.After all, things like war still depend on the strength of the troops. Just a bad reputation may not necessarily hinder the Federation's confidence in Titans.

Fortunately, a smile appeared on Cobatro's face, which gave You Bai confidence.

The brigadier general who was smoking next to him laughed loudly: "Captain Cobatro put in a lot of effort in that battle! The troops he arranged just blocked the vanguard of the Titans and hit the enemy's morale, and then relied on the soldiers Active performance, we successfully repelled the army of Titans!"

"Oh, that's great!"

Hearing what the brigadier general said, You Bai showed joy.

Cobatro then smiled: "Thanks to Amuro, he single-handedly repelled the enemy exuding a strong sense of oppression, and that's why today's victory is achieved."

The atmosphere in the whole room was harmonious and harmonious, and the brigadier general smiled very happily.He looked at the two heroes in front of him, and felt that the future of Augu and Earth was worth looking forward to.I thought that young people are doing their best to contribute, and I have to work harder.

Chapter 160 Nine: Doctrine

The federal annual meeting is a veritable grand occasion, even if Brigadier General Blakes intends to promote You Bai, he cannot bring him in with him.

Anyway, You Bai is still too young, how can a person in his twenties be able to stand on such a stage?As a result, Cobatello accompanied the brigadier general to the meeting, while You Bai and Berto Tiga stayed at the hotel and waited for them to come back.

Looking out from the window of the hotel, you can see the edge of the Sahara Desert. You Bai is very interested in this scenery.Even if he was an Earthling before crossing, he had never seen such a dry scene with his own eyes, and he was very surprised by this.

"I heard that half of the entire African continent has become like this."

Bertodika walked to him gently, opened the other half of the curtains, and looked out.But she soon got bored again: "Where is such a beautiful scene?"

"It's because it doesn't look good that the Federation wants to repair it?"

"But so far there has been no result."

"Is it so difficult to restore the environment...?"

You Bai really didn't understand it very well, because his previous country had made great achievements in this area, but seeing such a scene now, he felt very strange.

Could it be that the earth has reached the point where it is impossible to save it?Or is the Federation just pretending?

Just at this time, Bertodiga's playful laughter reached his ears: "It is because the Earth Federation can't do it that Aogu wants to drive humans into the universe and let the earth slowly return to its original state?"

"You mean to say that the war broke out because of environmental issues?"

You Bai moved his gaze to her face, wanting to seek answers from her.

This kind of sight made Bertodika a little uncomfortable. The other party had always stayed on the Odomula as a guide, but now he was asking himself something seriously, which made Bertodiga unable to help. A rather odd sense of excitement arose.

"Isn't it? Aogu upholds the doctrine of the sacred place of the earth, right? All human beings should migrate to the universe, so that the earth can be used as a holy place and return to nature... This is also the common feeling of all the inhabitants of the universe. Rather, Aogu took root and sprouted from it?."

"Miss Bertodika is from Earth?"

"I'm an American."

"Then why do you understand the thoughts of the inhabitants of the universe?"

"Eh?"

Bertotiga was stunned for a moment, then frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Of course it's because it's taught in textbooks. Besides, all the inhabitants of the universe I know say that."

"Is it……"

I don't know when the environment on the earth began to deteriorate.

Human beings have realized a truth in continuous wars: the more powerful the weapons used in wars, the better.And this simple concept has also pushed the earth on which human beings depend to survive to the brink of collapse.

Back then, in order to save the earth that was polluted by their own hands, human beings chose to move humans out of the earth and emigrate to the universe to live.

It is in this situation that the doctrine of the Holy Land of the Earth rose up, and it was widely penetrated into the hearts of the residents of the universe in the UC0040s when the space immigration reached its peak.However, as the federal government announced in UC0051 that it would no longer build new colonies, the 20 billion people on Earth became traitors against the 90 billion people in the universe.

After that, Gene Zim Daken developed his own independent political form based on this, and the people of SIDE3 wanted to be independent from the control of the Earth Federation, which also became the fuse of the One Year War.

After the end of the One Year War, although the inhabitants of space continued to advocate the doctrine of the Holy Land, the doctrine of the Holy Land on Earth was gradually suppressed because the Earth Federation, which was in a dominant position in the Earth Circle, gave birth to the Titans.Up to now, the oppressed doctrine has turned into an entity, which is the organization of Aogu.

Therefore, Bertotiga said that Ogu was derived from the doctrine of the Holy Land of the Earth, which has some basis.

However, You Bai felt that her thoughts were a little superficial.

Environmentalism is indeed the foundation of the Earth Federation's space colonization policy, but is the current war really caused by environmental issues?You Bai didn't think so.

In the past, some people advocated to the world that in order to break through the dilemma faced by the earth, prevent people from being swallowed up by the gigantic sun after [-] billion years, and in order to continue the race from generation to generation, some things must be done.

Therefore, people leave their hometowns with the wish to make the earth a better place, and go to the universe where it is difficult to survive.However, it didn't take long for people in the universe to discover a problem: other people on the earth just couldn't leave.

In the eyes of countless people on earth, they know that this planet will come to an end sooner or later, but as long as they live on the earth for a day, they don't have the courage to abandon their hometown.

Either they are forced to live a life of escape on Earth with the idea that "if they leave this land, they will not be able to survive"; or they have the privilege of ignoring immigration laws and can continue to live a comfortable life on Earth.

Regardless of the reason, the appearance of these people gave the people who left the earth a kind of idea that "the inhabitants of the universe are abandoned children", and then a new human theory of extreme self-esteem was born from the inferiority complex.

It is precisely because of this that the privileged class of the earth has become a thorn in the eyes of the people in the universe, and the "Earth Holy Land Doctrine" has finally taken root in the hearts of the residents of the universe, advocating that all people on the earth should leave their home planet, and no human beings on the earth can stay.

You Bai was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps, the focus of the Holy Land doctrine is not on the earth, but on the discrimination and injustice suffered by the inhabitants of the universe. The pursuit of equality and rights by the disadvantaged groups is the real trigger of the war. maybe."

He told Beto Dijia about his thoughts, the girl didn't give any reaction after listening, she just kept silent for a moment, shook her head and said: "Then according to what you mean, wouldn't Aogu want to smash the Federation to pieces? , to complete the ultimate goal?"

Just as You Bai was about to speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Brigadier General Blakes hurried in, threw the documents on the coffee table, and slumped on the sofa by himself.Cobatro looked outside the door twice, locked the door, came in and sat down opposite the brigadier general, his expression was not very good.

Feeling something was wrong, You Bai walked over and asked in a low voice, "Did something go wrong in the meeting?"

Cobatro waved his hand: "The federal proposal will not be voted on so early, it will be two days later."

"Then how-"

"The spies said that there are signs of MS mobilization around...the enemy probably doesn't intend to let us leave Dakar alive."

You Bai was extremely surprised: "Why didn't they just assassinate? Using MS near the capital, wouldn't it affect the image?"

"Do you think they still care about the impact now?" Cobatro looked up at him, and said helplessly, "It should be regarded as a warning, like a wild animal declaring its territory. The recent actions of Aogu and Calaba are too big Now, Titans had to use this method to beat the Anti-Federation elements."

Brigadier General Blakes punched the armrest of the sofa, and said angrily, "That's right! Titans are already crazy, and they sent out mobile suits to attack their political opponents!"

You Bai also fell silent about this.

After a long while, he looked at Bertodica next to him, suddenly laughed, and whispered in her ear: "Look, the Federation has tacitly allowed this kind of thing to happen in broad daylight, and it's okay if it's rotten like this. All right?"

Bertodika stared at him with wide eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

Chapter 170: Crisis

Now is not the time to denounce the Titans and the Federation, what needs to be considered is how to survive.

The backbone of Aogu is basically sitting in this room. If the enemy is really wiped out, there will be no need to continue the war later.Without a leader, Aogu will only become a mess in the end. In the best case, he will become a plaything in the hands of a businessman. How can he compete with Titans?

You Bai regained his usual composure, and asked in a low voice: "Should we transfer Karaba here? With the transportation capacity of the Odomula, maybe we can fight the Federation head-on."

"In that case, Karabar will be doomed... No, if you give up the ground forces, it will be impossible to fight back to Earth."

"what do you mean?"

Cobatro thought for a long time, took off his glasses, looked at You Bai with sincere eyes, and said in a low tone: "Captain You Bai, can I ask you to be a bait?"

"Bait?"

"When I came from the moon, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I just brought a new mobile suit. If possible, I hope you can use that to attract the attention of the Titans troops."

Before You Bai could speak, Beto Tijia slapped the table first: "I object! Why do you let You Bai go on such a dangerous mission! Since you are a red comet, you should do it yourself?!"

Cobatro looked at her seriously: "I must protect the Brigadier General from now on to avoid assassins. Any negligence may lead to the complete collapse of Aogu."

"Then you can't let You Bai go to die!"

"Miss Bertodika..."

You Bai lightly pressed her shoulder, signaling to stop arguing.While it's nice that she's thinking of herself, Cobatro must have a reason for saying it so calmly.

And this reason, You Bai can also imagine.

Most of the Federal Army's military strength is scattered around the Cape Verde peninsula for vigilance. Even if there is a war, it is impossible to come so quickly.On the other hand, this mission is only to contain and lure the enemy. Although it is very dangerous, it is not to the point of death.

Of course, as the capital of the federal government, Dakar cannot have fewer troops.At this time, it depends on the driver's personal ability.

So the crux of the problem is, what is the situation of the new machine?If it is still the same as before, the final result can only be besieged to death, right?

Cobatro seemed to see through You Bai's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, that is the most suitable body for this battle."

"A variable MS? Aogu finally has such a body? But if you can't get familiar with it in advance, the operation will be..."

"I believe that Captain You Bai will be able to control it with your ability. After all, it was originally tailor-made for you."

Although he knew that Cobatello's words were deceptive, but hearing his tone was so firm, You Bai became inexplicably confident.People have to sigh, this red comet really has the talent to be a politician.

……

The Odomula is slowly lowering its altitude at a 45-degree depression angle. Looking down from the current altitude, you can see that the entire African continent is shrouded in a thin layer of clouds, and the front is the endless sea.

Due to the need to be alert to the situation in Dakar, the ship must stay where it can reach the African land to ensure that it can be dispatched in time when problems arise.

Of course, such a move is dangerous.All parts of the African continent are being guarded by the people of the Federation and Titans. Once the traces are found, fierce battles are likely to break out.But Hayato Kobayashi thinks this is good, at least it can provide cover for the high-level Aogu in Dakar and attract attention.

As far as Augu and Karaba are concerned, the relationship between the two parties is far closer than the alliance. In fact, Karaba was originally diverted from Augu.Parting ways due to different ideologies, it sounds like it will evolve into a relationship of enemies, but in fact both sides are very clear-headed, Titans and the Earth Federation are the real enemies, therefore, as long as there is a battle, both sides will fully cooperate with each other action.As for the remaining details, we can wait until after the war to discuss it slowly.

The two sides can be said to be both prosperous and harmless, and it is precisely because of this understanding that Hayato Kobayashi believes that even if Karabar loses a large number of troops, it is necessary to assist Aogu.

In order to be able to respond in a timely manner, he has personally carried out the control of the battleship these days.

"The Federation General Assembly should be ending soon, right?"

A voice came from the staff next to him.

Hayato Kobayashi looked sideways and found that the comrade had a bitter smile on his face, as if he was not optimistic about the results of the meeting.

It's no wonder that once the brigadier general loses, the military power of the entire federal government will be brought under the jurisdiction of Titans.Although the two of them are vaguely cooperating now, in fact, the troops that Titans can mobilize are not as many as imagined.When they take the initiative to attack, most of them are their own troops.

Once the bill is passed, the situation will be very different.

No matter how bloated and corrupt the Federation is, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.If the stalemate continues, the losers must be Aogu and Karaba.

Hayato Kobayashi himself is pessimistic about whether the bill will be passed, but he is a leader after all, and he has to let his subordinates get enough momentum to fight.

"Brigadier General Blakes is fighting right now, and we have to get the job done just to respond to their efforts."

After finishing speaking, Hayato found that there was actually no confidence in his words, but he couldn't say anything more optimistic.He can't bluff casually like Cobatro.

He had already communicated with You Bai, and he also learned of the predicament over there.

In order to help the upper layer of Aogu attract attention, the Odomula had to make some movements to attract the enemy's attention.Both sides are in a very dangerous state.

……

You Bai, who is the key to the battle, is sitting in the jeep with Bertotiga at the moment, heading straight to a corner of the map given by Cobatro.

Captain Cobatro is worthy of being a veteran of sneaking. He was able to find a way to hide the MS in a corner where the African land and the sea meet, without being discovered.

At the same time, You Bai was a little distressed. Since Cobatro had already expected this kind of thing to happen, he should set up traps as soon as possible to hinder Titans.If it wasn't for the cover of Berto Dijia, and You Bai was alone, he would have been caught by the difficult guards from all walks of life.

About half a day later, the two of them found a new mobile suit half-kneeling by a rock wall next to an abandoned fishing village around the coast.

It was a very slender mobile suit, with sharp lines all over its body.In addition to the two rather large flight armors mounted on the back, the shield is also as high as the entire body, obviously emphasizing the body's ability to fly.As for the painting, except for a few places that are painted bright red, it is covered with silver-white paint, which emits a bright red shimmer under the setting sun.

Looking at the steel body, You Bai couldn't help murmuring.
