A journey through the Gundam world

"Please wait a moment."

Ernst first called the chief's office and asked if McGillis was available at the moment.

This was a rule left over from the time of the former acting director. After all, it was sometimes not convenient for Iznario to meet people.

In order to prevent one's good deeds from being discovered, this rule was established.

"Major Alex is here?"

McGillis, who was at work, was also stunned after hearing this.

'Is this person here to complain? '

Because of the previous incident with Iogu, he thought that the other party was also here to complain.

But since he is here and wants to see him by name, it is not appropriate to avoid him.

McGillis knew this man's character very well. He could really wait for him downstairs.

"Let him come up."

"Yes! Brigadier McGillis!"

After taking over Iznario's position, as the acting director, naturally he cannot be the school officer.

So McGillis's rank was promoted again and he became brigadier general.

"Colonel Alex, the acting director is waiting for you in the office."

Captain Ernst said to him after hanging up the phone.

"Very well, please lead me the way."

"Yes, Major Alex."

Before going out, Alex waved to the others again.

"Go on, see you later, everyone."

With that said, he left the office, leaving only the others discussing his legendary experience.

On the way to the director's office with Alex, Ernst was not idle and introduced him to the various departments of the Supervision Department.

Finally, we took the elevator and arrived at the floor where the director's office was located.

The elevator door opened and he made a gesture of invitation to Alex.

"Please, Major Alex."

The two stepped out of the elevator, and Alex looked at the luxuriously decorated and modern floor.

There is a special reception area at the entrance of the elevator, where there are not only guards with guns, but also secretaries wearing lieutenant uniforms.

In addition to these people, there was an officer wearing a captain's uniform waiting for them.

"Captain Shi Dong. Ka Mi."

Ernst saluted the other party, while Alex looked at the man with brown and gray shawl hair.

This is Chocolate's lieutenant in the second season. Although he is taciturn, he is an excellent subordinate.

Not only is he a close confidant of McGillis, he has contacted Tekkadan many times, but he is also a very skilled MS pilot.

And he agreed with McGillis's ideals and purposes, and in the final battle, he was willing to die for blocking Simon Lividal's attack.

"Captain Ernst, thank you for your hard work. Just leave the rest to me."

"Yes."

After Captain Ernst saluted the two, he turned around and took the elevator and left.

"Major Yixiu, I am Brigadier General McGillis' adjutant, Captain Shi Dong. Kaqimi."

Listening to his self-introduction, Alex corrected his title again in return.

"Just call me Major Alex. There is no need for such a troublesome title."

His words made Shi Dong, a reformist, look at him favorably, and his tone softened and respected him a bit.

"Please come with me, Major Alex, Brigadier McGillis is already waiting for you."

Under his leadership, Alex passed through a passage with horn flags and Farid family crest flags hung on both sides.

After a huge door at the end of the passage opened, Alex finally walked into this office that had appeared several times in Iron Blood.

He noticed that the carpet under his feet had just been replaced.

This room is at least 200 square meters.

'Damn you rich man, how much does it cost to replace all the carpets in such a big room...'

Although he cursed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

"Brigadier General McGillis, no, hello, Mr. Acting Director."

Although the title on his lips was very formal, there was no expression of respect on his face.

Sure enough, the next moment he complained.

"You don't even have a chair made for you in this office."

Shi Dong looked at the eldest son of the Yixiu family in great surprise at this moment, although he could tell from the conversation just now that he was somewhat approachable.

But this is too approachable!

When he was transferred here, Loki Ixiu had already disappeared.

But I have also heard rumors about him.

Being old-fashioned, paying attention to etiquette, and paying attention to dignity, this is what a standard Gallarhorn noble should look like.

But looking at it now, where is the nobleman who respects etiquette and values ​​dignity?

This is a real mercenary posture.

But his boss seems to be very used to this.

"This office originally belonged to my father. He used to like people to stand and report to him."

"Ha, very aristocratic."

With that said, he sat down on McGillis' desk.

Shi Dong's eyes almost popped out of his head.

McGillis didn't care, after all, this was the Alex he knew, not Loki Isu.

If this guy were to use his white-gloved fingers to lightly sip on his desk, then look at the dust on it and shake his head.

Then he would definitely jump up and draw his gun, not for any other reason, but because that's what Loki Isho would do.

The pressure put on him by his past opponents was second only to Iznario, and even left the same psychological shadow.

"What's the matter with you coming to me this time?"

"After such a long rest, it's time for me to go to work, otherwise I won't be able to afford the salary paid by the Supervision Department."

Listening to his righteous words, McGillis didn't believe this guy's nonsense.

What's wrong with the salary? If possible, this guy would probably rather be a salary thief.

But he didn't want to expose Alex's lies, because at this moment the two sides were still maintaining at least a semblance of cooperation.

Before it was necessary to break up, he still hoped that the cooperation between the two parties would continue like this.

Because now they have a common enemy.

Lesdal El-Erian!

The two sides maintain this fragile cooperation in a tacit understanding, and at the same time, they are wary of each other.

"Welcome, the work of the Inspection Department is very busy, Major Alex."

"I have the time, and I'm very passionate about justice."

Looking at the smile on his face, McGillis knew that someone was going to be in trouble.

I just don’t know who this unfortunate guy is.

"Oh? It seems that you already have a target you want to investigate."

"Yes."

"Which case is it?"

In response to McGillis's deliberate curiosity, he tapped his ears and blew on his nails.

"Actually, it's not a complicated case. Before landing on Earth, I protected a pair of sisters on Dot 2."

"Oh? Dortmund 2? That's not the territory of the African Union? Unfortunately, their labor issues have been resolved now."

"No, no, no, it's not a labor issue with Dortmund 2."

Alex shook his head, rejecting his guess.

"One of the blond girls is named Mina, and her last name is Zalmford."

Hearing this surname, not only McGillis's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Shi Dong was also shocked. He also knew about this case that was still unclear.

"What, but isn't she already dead?"

"Yes, she should have died in the pirate attack in the Dort space a few months ago. However, she is right in front of me now, and she is alive and well."

He spread his hands.

"Tell me, isn't it amazing, Brigadier McGillis?"

"You want to investigate the affairs of the Zalmford family and the Nadira family?"

"Yes, this matter itself is full of doubts. The African Union is vague, and the eldest daughter of the Zalmford family, who was silenced because of the discovery of evidence of the Nadira family's crimes, is still alive. Don't you think? Is everything weird?"

McGillis also fully agreed with what he said.

He had just taken the seat of Acting Director, so naturally he was in urgent need of a good performance to make his position more stable.

And this case is undoubtedly a good start.

Of course, he would not take credit for other people's achievements. As a director, as long as his subordinates make meritorious deeds, then rounding up would mean that he has managed well.

Therefore, he approved Alex's investigation without hesitation.

"I have only one request, Major Alex."

McGillis smoothed his blond hair.

"Make things beautiful."

I understand that he is delegating power to himself, but I also understand that he urgently needs a success to prove himself.

Alex waved to him after getting off the table.

"No problem. I'll let you know when it's done. After all, if there is a problem, I won't be able to do it myself by searching the house."

After he left the director's office, Shi Dong asked McGillis.

"Brigadier General, can this person be trusted?"

In the face of questioning, he became unusually silent.

He stared at the door and sighed.

"I don't know either. From the beginning, I couldn't figure him out. Now, I still can't figure it out. But what I am sure of is that he is different now from the past."

After all, in the past, even if Loki really hated Iogu, he only used his own methods to tease him.

You would never directly beat the opponent up like this and leave an excuse for him.

But because of the shadows of the past and his own caution, he doubted whether Alex was acting for him.

His paranoia made him wait until Galio brought the people back without thinking about it.

"Have you got the evidence?"

"That's right. Enough evidence to embarrass Iogu again."

Galio finished speaking in a relaxed tone and threw the memory card on the desk.
