A journey through the Gundam world

When they returned to Chisaka's room, they did not forget to bring their changed clothes and shoes.

Alex excused himself to handle these things, then went out and threw them into the storage space of his tablet.

With a sigh of relief, he took the glass of water handed to him by Chisaka and drank it in one gulp.

"Although there were some twists and turns, it went smoothly."

Chisaka, who had poured the water for him, was also holding a glass of water himself.

"Have you got everything?"

"I got it, and it was overachieved."

Alex raised a memory chip in Yang's hand, which he used to conceal that he was using a system tablet.

"I believe that with these data, we are not far away from creating a mobile suit ourselves."

"Great."

Looking at the smile on Chisaka's face, Alex did not tell him that although the MS was quickly built, the OS was not that easy to solve.

"I'm going to show my face at the concert to avoid suspicion."

"Go ahead, I'll be back later."

"Then, see you later."

Putting down the water glass, he stood up and left the room.

After waiting for another 5 minutes, Chisaka also got up and left.

When Alex arrived at the venue, the concert was already coming to an end.

Outside the crowd, he stopped and looked at Lux on the stage.

He took out his cigarette case, popped out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.

Concerts are also physical work. After all, you have to jump and sing, and you have to be scorched by the spotlight.

Lux on the stage was already covered with sweat on her forehead, and her long pink hair was also wet with sweat.

But she is still very dedicated, and even Alex admires her for this.

"Everyone, thank you for your efforts to protect PLANT. I believe that peace will eventually come again. At that time, let us gather on the stage again."

In response to what she said, the audience responded with cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

"Peace is very precious. I hope that you will not be dazzled by hatred. A peaceful future is what we need most."

As the daughter of a representative figure of the Klein School, she was naturally influenced by her father's ideas.So it's not surprising that she said this.

But Alex, who was standing in the deserted corner, shook his head, holding a cigarette between his fingers and talking to himself.

"Peace is not so easy. Girl, you are still too naive. In other words, just the idea of ​​peace without the power to maintain peace is not enough."

Light blue smoke rose faintly from the cigarette between his fingers, like a lost soul floating into the air.

The concert ended successfully, and Alex's mission also ended successfully.

After a week of careful precautions, it was confirmed that Kruse did not report it. At the same time, ZAFT did not find that anyone had hacked into their system and stolen data.

In the following time, Alex guessed that he devoted himself wholeheartedly to training new recruits.

Aslan and others were trained extremely hard, but as adjusters, they still persisted.

Two months passed in a flash. On September 70, CE9, this group of recruits finally completed their training and were about to enter the cruel battlefield as real soldiers.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, not only Patrick, a member of the National Defense Council, attended, but Speaker Siegel also appeared at the scene.

The first is to issue graduation certificates to graduates. As the top 20 recruits with overall scores, they will receive the red coat qualification representing the elite.

As expected, Aslan, Yitzhak, Nicol, and Diego were among them.

And they took all the top spots. In addition, there was an unlucky guy named Radice who also got the qualification to be in red.

In this regard, Alex could only hope that he would not be so unlucky as to be shot and die.

After the graduation certificate is issued, according to international practice, it is naturally time for the leader to speak.

The first person to speak was Patrick. In his words, he encouraged these recruits and hoped that they could fight against the natural man to the end for the honor of ZAFT and the safety of PLANT!

"We adjusters must take the safety of our lives into our own hands, and you are the strongest and final line of defense to protect this safety!"

It can be said that Patrick's speech was full of hawkish ideas.

Speaker Siegel's subsequent speech expressed his consistent advocacy of peace.

"We are fighting for PLANT, but please don't forget that our fundamental purpose is to fight for peace! Peace is the only thing we need most!"

Both of them clearly expressed their own preferences in their speeches.

In Alex's view, although both of them were aiming for PLANT, it was obvious from this moment on that they had chosen different paths.

An irreparable rift has appeared between the two comrades who originally worked closely together.

Siegel advocates using war to promote peace, while Patrick, who was originally a hawk, became even tougher because his wife was killed by a natural man's nuclear bomb.

This also means that the continued expansion of the war is unstoppable.

As a mild-mannered captain, what he could do at this time was very limited.

After the graduation ceremony of the new recruits, Alex and the other 'volunteer' instructors from Orb had completed their mission.

With the improvement of the frontline war situation and the joining of a large number of new recruits, ZAFT has been able to arrange for more senior veterans to come back as instructors.

Although Orb's purpose is to establish a good relationship with ZAFT, and these instructors are also very dedicated, but after all, they are outsiders, not PLANT's own people.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the two parties agreed that this group of 'volunteer' instructors were to understand ZAFT's urgent needs.

Now, it's time for them to end their mission.

In the conference room, Patrick and Siegel also held a farewell party for these "volunteer" instructors.

To thank them for providing help when PLANT needs it most.

From Alex's point of view, all this is just talk, hello to everyone, hello to everyone, hello to everyone.

After all, his espionage behavior was not exposed, so PLANT would naturally like to thank them.

Although it all seemed a little funny, he still held back his laughter.

As a professionally trained agent, he would never laugh.

What he didn't expect was that after the farewell party, Speaker Siegel, accompanied by Captain Yuki, came straight to him.

"Captain Alex, thank you very much for saving my little girl last time. As a father, I want to thank you."

Looking at Siegel's extended hand, Alex shook it without any hesitation.

"You are over the top, this is what I should do."

Although the captain wore an eyepatch over his left eye, he looked fierce.

However, his neither humbleness nor arrogance made Siegel very fond of him.

He lamented that as the Speaker, he was very busy on weekdays. Not only did he not have time to accompany his daughter, but he also failed to thank him immediately after the attack on Lux.

This time he attended the graduation ceremony, and he came here specifically with the intention of thanking Alex.

After the two sides exchanged a few words, Siegel left.

But Alex could feel the kindness in Siegel's heart toward him.

At this time, Patrick also came over.

"Captain Alex, thank you for your careful training of Aslan."

Facing this big boss with a serious expression but a dark heart, Alex still behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

"You are honored. This is because Aslan himself has a very high talent."

"Well, but he didn't do enough. Under the current situation, it's not enough for him to just be a warrior."

In his words, one could hear Patrick's dissatisfaction with Aslan.

Although he is right, Aslan is suitable for a warrior, not a politician.

Alex responded with a smile.

"People will always grow. I believe that Aslan's future growth will definitely live up to your expectations."

"I hope so, and thank you for saving Lux."

After Patrick finished speaking, he sighed, and then said with a hint of regret.

"ZAFT is in great need of talents like Captain Alex. It's a pity..."

He didn't finish his words, but to outsiders, Patrick was regretting that people like him were not in ZAFT.

However, Alex is not a young boy, not to mention that he can feel that the regret in Patrick's heart is more because he is a natural person.

In his heart, he already hated natural people deeply because of his wife's death.

But he didn't tell the truth, so he responded politely.

"I'm very sorry, Sir Patrick. I am very loyal to my motherland."

His answer gave Patrick a step, and the corners of the other man's lips raised slightly.

"It seems that your country is protected by loyal soldiers like you, which is good."

"You flatter me."

Although Chisaka on the side did not understand the meaning of Patrick's words, he still looked at Alex's answers frequently.

After Patrick also left, he quietly asked Alex.

"Are you really telling the truth?"

In response to his questioning, Alex smiled.

"Guess what?"

After saying that, he winked at Chisaka again.

"This sentence is a joke."

With that said, without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned and left the conference room.

Chisaka looked at his back, wondering for a moment whether she should believe what he said.

"Come on, come on! Instructor, here!"

"It's so slow! The other groups have already finished filming!"

When Alex walked out of the conference room, the recruits who were training under him immediately surrounded him and surrounded him towards the shooting location.

Next, they will take a group photo to commemorate this graduation, which is of great significance to their lives.

"Instructor, please sit here."

Nigel pointed to the spot reserved for him in the center of the crowd.

"Ok."

Alex sat down directly without being polite to them.

Because he knew that if he left this time, he wouldn't know when the next time they would meet would be.

On both sides of him were several people in red clothes, and the remaining recruits were either sitting or standing behind him.

Everyone looked at the camera with smiles on their faces, and Alex could clearly feel the tension and excitement in their hearts.

If it weren't for the military uniforms they were wearing, they would have been a group of young people who were about to graduate from school and enter the society. Who would have thought that what they were about to enter would be a hellish battlefield.

"look here!"

"1,2,3!"

When the clicking sound sounded, a system prompt came to his ears.

'Side mission, Full Metal Jacket.Completed, leadership +1. '

When these new recruits put on ZAFT uniforms and officially join active service.
