Gundam, Iron Banner

"Sooner or later, there will be that day, right?"

"Will it be too hasty..."

The communication between Cobatro and Amuro is very simple and direct, even if you just listen to them talking, you can feel the wonderful sense of tacit understanding.

You Bai didn't intend to intervene, his attitude was the same as Cobatro's, he believed that it was too early to fully suppress the Titans, if the enemy was pushed too far, unexpected things might happen.

Aogu's current state is a bit of a strong outside, and although he has a little upper hand on the political table, in terms of overall strength, this side is still slightly inferior to Titans.On the other hand, the situation within Aogu is not stable, and there has been some friction with the consortium, which can be regarded as a troublesome matter.

In this case, you should not act rashly. You should first consolidate your strength and surround Titans steadily, so as not to get into trouble due to excessive actions.

Then again, it's not just the Augu organization that is in trouble.

That's what Camus is in right now, if it's specific to anyone.

You Bai met Camus in the corridor the next day.

At that time, Camus was arguing with someone in the female soldier's dormitory. You Bai, who was passing by, was startled by their sudden increase in volume, and then saw Camus coming out of the corner angrily, and the two almost ran into each other.

"What are you doing? Why are you so angry?"

You Bai supported Camus who was almost floating out, and asked in surprise.

Camus was still in a rather agitated state, but now he finally calmed down a bit, and said in a muffled voice: "Captain You Bai, have you heard? Second Lieutenant Rekoa is going to Jupiters to spy on intelligence!"

"...?"

You Bai couldn't believe his ears for a while, "Jupiterice? Are you talking about the ship of Titans?"

"That's it!"

Chapter 180 Four: Lies

Camus' young face was full of excitement. In his opinion, it was simply unreasonable for Rekoa to do such a dangerous thing alone.

You Bai could tell that the other party did not discriminate against women, but simply thought that she should not be responsible for difficult tasks alone, and was worried about her personal safety.

In the final analysis, spying on information is inherently difficult. For example, before Gaburo descended to fight, Second Lieutenant Rekoa tried hard but failed to hand over the information to Agama, and he was caught by the enemy. insulted.

He just happened to be saved by Mr. Kai Xiting last time, but will good luck favor the same person twice in a row?It was inevitable that Camus would be worried.

After all, Camus himself has a good impression of Rekoya. After all, Rekoya has been taking care of him since he got on the ship.And this woman herself has the demeanor of a mature woman, which is naturally very attractive to adolescents.

Camus is very sensitive to other people's affairs, but not very good at hiding his own thoughts, so You Bai can understand where his anxiety comes from.

So You Bai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I also think this arrangement is not appropriate. I will discuss it with Captain Brad and Captain Covatro later. However, for the current Ao Gu , Obtaining information about the enemy is very important..."

"That is--"

"Camus."

"...!"

Due to the compulsory nature of the army itself, there is no distinction between men and women at all. Even if men and women have differences in physical strength and way of thinking, their functions as soldiers are the same.You Bai felt that even if he went to talk to the captain and the others, the best result would be to choose someone else.

Soon, Camus understood this from the expression on You Bai's face.

He hesitated for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Captain You Bai, why do you think Second Lieutenant Rekoa volunteered? Such a dangerous thing..."

"Could it be that you want to wash away the previous shame?"

"How is it possible? Second Lieutenant Rekoa is an adult, childish sentimentality like this shouldn't appear on her, right?"

Camus said those words in a blunt tone.

And his way of speaking, in You Bai's eyes, looks like a child pretending to be an adult.

You Bai subconsciously felt the other party's entanglement and depression, and realized that Katz's affairs had a bad influence on him.

Because I have seen the innocence of my peers around me, so I unconsciously try to be brave in the direction of adults?But in this case, it will only make his understanding of adults biased...

You Bai patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Whether it's an adult or a child, no one can completely obliterate their own emotions. If they can do it, then they can't be regarded as human beings, but should be gods."

"... Where are the new humans?"

"What is the difference between new humans and ordinary people? Amrolei, who has been regarded as the representative of new humans in the past few years, hasn't he been imprisoned?"

"It's hard to accept."

"Thinking about this kind of thing carefully is a sign of immaturity."

"Adults don't think about this kind of problem?"

"It's not that I don't think about it, it's just that... everyone has already exhausted their minds just to survive, how can they have the energy to hide their pettiness?"

"If it's like what you said, Captain, the adults are too pitiful. But maybe it's because of this that grown men and women seek stimulation beyond their existing relationships?"

Camus's words seemed to mean something, and You Bai heard the irony in his words, so he laughed twice and didn't speak again.

He is very interested in talking about the relationship between men and women with Camus, but unfortunately now is not the time.Because he suddenly discovered an important question during the conversation: Second Lieutenant Rekoa would choose to infiltrate the enemy ship so resolutely, does it mean that she has reached the border of the dead end?Just because she could no longer bear the desire to prove herself, did she take the initiative to carry out difficult tasks?

If so, she is a miserable woman.

……

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Lieutenant Rekoa's room.You Bai stood outside the door, his gestures seemed a bit cramped.Even if he was looking for someone for serious business, it would be unreasonable for an adult man to knock on the door of a single woman's room alone, and it is not in line with You Bai's personality.

About ten seconds later, Second Lieutenant Rekoa opened the door with a strange expression: "...Captain You? Rare guest, what can I do for you?"

There was a slight smile on her face, but anyone with a discerning eye could see how forced the smile on her face was.This also just shows her unusual state.

You Bai looked at her expression, and said carefully: "It's about the infiltration mission, I want to chat with you. Are you free?"

Rekoa didn't answer directly, but glanced into the room from the corner of her eye.You Bai followed her gaze and found a girl with long black hair sitting on the sofa.So he realized that he had come by a very unfortunate coincidence.

But that girl was very sensible, she got up quickly, bowed obediently, and said in a low voice: "You are Captain You Bai, right? I heard Camus often mention you... If you have something to talk about, I, uh ... I'll go first."

After speaking, she immediately got out from the crack of the door and ran towards the other end of the corridor.

Reikoa said helplessly: "Her name is Huahua Li, she was Camus's neighbor on the Green Oasis, and she is currently practicing as a MS pilot."

"Oh……"

"Anyway, come in first?"

Unlike Hua Huali, who seemed quite shy, Rekoya was quite open when communicating with You Bai. Although the two parties were not very familiar with each other, she still opened the door and let You Bai come in and find a place to sit. .

There was a faint smell of perfume in the room, which inexplicably gave people an ambiguous feeling.You Bai didn't like this very much, so he sat on the seat closest to the door, and said in a deep voice, "Second Lieutenant Reikoa, I've discussed with the captain and the others, and I will carry out the infiltration mission."

"...?"

Rekoa's hand pouring water obviously stopped, she frowned slightly, and finally regained her expression, sat down opposite You Bai with a sullen face, and asked slowly: "Is it because I failed the last mission?"

You Bai smiled and said "How is that possible", then lowered his head, stared at the edge of the teacup, and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's because of the soldier who escaped before. She followed around the ship , who can guarantee that she hasn't seen your face? It's safer to have my new face who just returned to Agama."

"...I think it's not the only reason."

Hearing what she said, You Bai's eyes lowered, and he didn't intend to meet her eyes at all.

Because what You Bai was thinking at this time was: Rekoya might make a mistake because of her mentality, and even defected.In that case, the secrets on Argama may be leaked.

However, what he thinks in his heart is one thing, and what he says is another.

A smile appeared on You Bai's mouth: "Because whether it's Captain Cobatello or Camus, they are very worried about you."

Chapter 180 Five: Complicated

Even though You Bai was saying good things for his colleagues, but hearing what he said, a slightly ironic smile appeared on Rekoa's face.

"Let's not mention Camus for the time being...Captain Cobatro? Even if his words will pity my life to some extent, it is only out of fellowship, right? In his eyes, soldiers are not divided into men and women."

"Even in the army, Second Lieutenant Rekoa wants to keep her female side?" You Bai asked with a frown.

"At the end of the day, soldiers are still human."

"...I also said that to Camus. However, even if you have a personal opinion, it depends on the occasion, right? If you are too selfish, you will be the one who will suffer the consequences in the end. Miss Rekoa, I think you I'm not ready yet..."

"So you're going to scout for intelligence instead of me?"

"That's it."

You Bai laughed twice, picked up the teacup that he had been staring at before and took a sip.The hot tea almost paralyzes the tongue and can feel a strong tingling, but the combination of this pain and the slightly bitter taste of the tea itself gives people a strange stimulating feeling, which is addictive.

Rekoa stared at his face for a while, and keenly noticed the change of address in You Bai's mouth, from Second Lieutenant to Miss.She knew very well that this meant that You Bai had changed his opinion of her.As for whether this change is positive or negative, it is hard to say.

She hesitated for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Captain You Bai, you should understand how difficult this matter is, right? You are one of Aogu's signature pilots, if something happens..."

"It's because of the difficulty that I should be allowed to go. Paptimas Sirocco is a cunning guy, and I feel a dark aura from him. This person is like a flytrap, he will People who fall into his trap are digested and finally absorbed into their own nutrients... For Miss Rekoa, this kind of person is too dangerous."

"It's so abstract."

"You should know what I mean, right?"

Rekoa didn't answer right away, but put all her body weight on the back of the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and whispered in a sarcastic tone: "It means that I am too weak as a woman, Can't resist Sirocco's power?"

When she spoke, her voice was so small that she seemed to be talking to herself.

But You Bai still understood what she meant, and laughed instead: "It's a man's instinct to protect women. Miss Rekoa, I hope you can accept other people's kindness straightforwardly."

"...Is this how you coaxed Lieutenant April into your hand?"

"Can't you say that?"

You Bai smiled distressedly, feeling that this way of chatting was a bit tiring, so he bent his back slightly and leaned on the sofa in a more relaxed posture.

He had a little understanding of the woman in front of him.

Rekoa Langte is a weak woman with a sharp personality. Although she looks very strong on the outside, she acts vigorously and decisively, and is even willing to take the initiative to take on difficult tasks.But she is weak in nature, and she doesn't have the courage to give up her female side at all.

Therefore, she wanted someone to rely on, so that she pursued Captain Cobatlo, who seemed extremely mature.But for the same reason, she couldn't see the true nature of Cobatello, right?

In Camus' terms, Cobatro was a coward who couldn't yet bear his own name.You Bai felt that what that man really needed was a woman who could tolerate and understand him.From this perspective, the compatibility between Rekoa and Cobatro is simply extremely bad.

However, Rekoya's opinion is obviously different from You Bai's. Her complexion is not very good-looking, and You Bai can vaguely detect her anger hidden under the surface.She said in a deep voice, "You just said that it is a man's instinct to protect women? However, times have already changed."

"Variety?"

"Isn't it? In Agama and Radish alone, there are already so many women on the battlefield. Who can take all the women under their own feathers for protection? No one can do it."

"... Miss Rekoa is a feminist?"

"I just want to save my dignity, what's wrong?"

"I don't think the battlefield should be so naive—no, forget it..."

The conversation stopped abruptly in the middle, because You Bai found that it was pointless to dwell on this topic.Men's and women's ways of thinking are completely different. Rekoa can't abandon her side as a woman, so she naturally thinks more emotionally.

At the same time, Rekoa's words also caused You Bai to fall into contemplation and depression.

There are too many female fighters on these two ships.Rekoa, Emma, ​​Laila, and even the girl named Hua Huali just now are preparing to go to the battlefield.Not to mention Feng and Rosamia, who had fought before, and April, who retired as a maintenance member.

Such a situation is too abnormal for You Bai.He couldn't help thinking about such a question:

Could it be that the person who was really abandoned by the times was actually himself?

You Bai repeatedly questioned himself in his heart.

The conversation with Rekoa still broke up in the end. Although the two sides did not break their faces, it is inevitable that the relationship will become more rigid than before.

You Bai feels that he is not good at dealing with women, because of their changeability and weird way of thinking, it is ten times more difficult to grasp their inner thoughts than to find out the details of men.Whether it's Beto Tiga or Reikoa, they are not within the control of You Bai.

A thought popped into his mind:

If the guy who can hold women in his palm is not a god, then he must be an extremely terrifying monster, right?

……

The staff in the hangar are preparing an old "Warrior", but the so-called maintenance is actually dismantling the intact outer armor and replacing it with some folk-colored replacements.

From You Bai's point of view, the scene in front of him is too weird: "I never imagined that Agama's hangar would have a day to house Jean's body..."

April stood beside him worriedly, and said in distress: "You really want to use this kind of thing to sneak into Jupiter? The difficulty is too high! Can't you tell the captain to change someone?"

"Someone has to go? Besides, I really want to see the ship coming back from Jupiter."

"You Bai, what you're really interested in is the man named Sirocco, right?"

"Really sharp."

You Bai laughed, and with the idea of ​​not worrying the other party, he changed the topic to other places.

"Lieutenant, if you failed in a certain mission, and now there is a similar difficult mission in front of you, will you take the initiative to ask to participate in order to wash away the shame of last time?"

"Eliminate the shame?" April held his head in thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "If I were a few years younger, I would probably participate...I used to be quite competitive."
