Sirocco felt a bit of a headache when he read the report handed over by his subordinates. It's not about the war with Britannia, it's about money.
Britannia is at war against the entire Federation, not just the Titans. In the face of such an all-out war, the internal contradictions of the Federal Army obviously have to be temporarily placed behind the contradiction between the enemy and ourselves. It's not that there is no one in the upper class who shouts that the foreigners must be settled first, but the military power is in Siroc's hands, so they will have a good time, and Siroc will slowly teach them how to behave.
In the final analysis, fighting is about resources, and the Federation is not wrong in the face of Britannia. A dozen or so Knights of the Round Table looked very powerful, but in reality they were only a dozen ACEs. How many ACEs Sirocco in the Federation Army are too lazy to count, not only within the Titans, but now even ACEs like Kashima Yu who do not belong to the Titans are under his jurisdiction.
The only problem is that the Titans' reserves are depleting too quickly. The war would have cost a lot of money, and Anaheim didn't give any discounts. The Federation and him were not in the same heart and couldn't count on it. In the end, they had to rely on themselves.
"The Bist consortium cannot get oil and salt, and in the end it has to rely on Rhine Ford." Siroc looked up at the sky outside the window, "Roland Seac..."
Putting down the report in his hand, he got up and went to Gnaku, where the black mourning banshee was standing quietly inside.
"Colonel Sirocco." Emma Sheen, who was in Gnakury, saluted him.
Emma worked hard for a year undercover in Misirqi, and she is not weak in her own ability but also has a strong sense of responsibility. When the Titans fully occupied the sea stronghold of Misirqi and established her own base, she has been promoted to captain.
Siroc nodded slightly to her, and asked casually, "How is the recruitment of NT drivers going?"
"I'm sorry, there's no progress." Emma bowed her head in shame, "Don't talk about MS, even ordinary NTs can't be recruited."
"Don't be here, Captain Emma, you've done a good job." Siroc waved his hand indifferently, "NT is such a rare existence, otherwise Camus Vidan would never have been found."
"Camus..." Emma's interest in mentioning this person was a little low.
The result of not recruiting people was completely expected by Siroc, and he did not blame Emma. In fact, Sirocco is a very gentleman, especially a gentleman to women, which makes him have a good relationship with women. If nothing else, there are many female officers in the Titans who joined him out of loyalty to himself.
"NewType-Drive." Siroc looked up at the cold mourning banshee, "Hehe, whoever believes it is stupid."
This kind of so-called NT special machine, which was built according to other people's manuals and had no idea what system was installed in it, he distrusted 10,000 people. Siroc would rather drive Jim than be determined not to sit in the cockpit of the Banshee. He felt that this was a choice any leader with a normal IQ would make.
"I knew that I would not do a deal with Charles back then, and now there is no NT available." He turned and left Gnaku, muttering to himself with some regret, "Even if there is one semi-finished product left, the adjustment can be used as soon as possible. ."
Sirocco's subordinates have an enhanced human research institution called Murasame Research Institute, and artificial NT is the top priority of research. Stella and other six people are semi-finished products produced by this institute, and they all entered the MIA list in a certain operation. When he was sent to die at the time, he didn't feel bad about it, but now it feels a bit unworthy.
The four official products headed by the product number Murasame Zero were all purchased by Emperor Charles at a high price last year. At that time, Titans was in the middle of construction in Misirqi and faced the danger of breaking the capital chain. The price offered by Britannia was too tempting, and Siroc had to reluctantly parted and sold the four products in a package.
"It's a pity that Amuro Ray can't be used." Siroc slapped his tongue regretfully, and when he mentioned this, he remembered the report on Heaven and Man submitted by Lund Bell, and couldn't help sneering, "Huh, want to pretend to be neutral? Except for Lingos, I don't care that anyone can do this kind of thing."
…
"Who else can do this kind of thing except Dr. Lingos." Camus was sitting in Tie's cockpit, preparing for the first attack, "Isn't the doctor stupid, really? Sirocco is mentally retarded."
"For the moon, as long as there is no evidence, it will not be passive in public opinion. How Titans and Britannia guess it is their business. There is no way to make a public statement, and it will not affect the overall situation." Asuka patiently gave him He explained, "If it's really bad luck exposed, it's fine if you don't admit it, the so-called politics is just like that."
"Oh, my lord." Camus pouted.
"You're already eighteen years old, and you don't have the right to keep complaining about how adults are doing." Kira couldn't see it anymore, and made a accusation, "If you just talk here and don't do anything, nothing will change. Nothing will end."
"I'm only eighteen at the end of the year, and I'm seventeen now. It's a child!" Camus corrected stubbornly, "Does Mr. Kira mean something like this? Didn't you tell me your favorite and Is the family living peacefully together or something?"
"Sometimes you can only fight in order to protect something, and I believe in the path we choose." Kira's voice was not a bit confused, "I've made up my mind and will continue to fight."
Camus cut a sound, did not continue to talk back, and concentrated on adjusting the body. He glanced left and right at the bodies of the other three, feeling a little unhappy. Originally, he was not obsessed with Gundam, but without comparison, there would be no harm. Compared with the handsome Zero-style flying wing, the dynamic and cool destiny and the mighty and domineering Ex-S, Tie Ao's appearance is really not very good.
He originally wanted to protest to Wufei, saying that there was still an empty two-headed dragon, but he went back rationally after walking to the door of the captain's room.
At this time, the Iserlohn had already jumped over the Atlantic Ocean, and Zhang Wufei's voice sounded in everyone's body: "Go out."
Three Gundams and one Teo ejected from the battleship and fell toward the battlefield below. This is one of the sub-battlefields on the long front between Britannia and the Earth Federation, located in the southern Mid-Atlantic, where the two armies are relatively moderately invested.
All personnel outside the Minovsky particle distribution zone received the broadcast on the public frequency at the same time, exactly the same as last time, obviously a recording. Like last time, this time there was no command from the commander to stop the fighting.
"It's still up to you. Sure enough, no one will stop foolishly." Looking at the difference in combat power between the enemy and us, Urumi sighed a little, but immediately cheered up, "I believe the doctor, we are correct."
As the fastest MS among the four, Ex-S transformed into an aircraft form to take the lead in bringing the enemy aircraft below into range. The four beam cannons mounted on the back of the fuselage burst into flames, and the MSs who were fighting in a group could not avoid it, and were the first to become cannon fodder.
While the MS below was dispersing in a panic, Ex-S flipped to avoid the shot from below, and after moving for a while, changed into MS form, and directly took out the Elf Beam Cannon hanging on it. The energy of the beam cannon is directly supplied by the core power furnace, and its power can be imagined. The powerful I stance protected the Ex-S from stray bullets, and the inhuman acceleration of up to seven Gs made Uruki quickly approach the Britannia battleship group.
At the same time, the Wing Zero Gundam also approached at high speed in the direction of the Titans command center. The white steel wings protect the sides of the body, and beam weapons cannot cause any substantial damage to it. After arriving at the target location, the huge beam rifle that was raging on the Japanese battlefield not long ago appeared again in the hands of the Zero Flying Wing, aiming at the battleship group below.
The commander below keenly discovered the opponent's combat intentions, and very few elite MSs with better performance broke through to the top, trying to block the sniping of the Ex-S and the Zero Flying Wings, but these MSs were all blocked by Destiny Gundam. down.
I saw Destiny Gundam unfold a pair of light wings behind it, and they scrambled left and right among several units with ease. Sometimes he picks up a giant beam saber to cut the enemy in two, sometimes uses a high-energy beam rifle to shoot down an approaching MS, and when there is no one around, he uses a long-range beam cannon to snipe at a distant MS group.
"So what the hell am I doing here?" Camus idly wandered in the sky, looked around, and muttered to himself unhappily, "I even dismantled the beam rifle I originally had. I don't even have a remote means, it's too much."
"Camus, someone is heading towards you!" Asuka's voice suddenly sounded, "There are a lot of people on my side, sorry for missing one."
"Leave it to me, really big brother!" Camus shouted excitedly, "Let me solve it immediately!"
A black Gundam Mk-II equipped with a jetpack appeared in Camus' field of vision. Gundam Mk-II, as a product of Titans' independent cottage, is not restricted by Anaheim's production capacity, and is mass-produced by Titans. Sirocco assigned it to the elite of his subordinates, and it was their special body.
"Is it your kid who stole Colonel Siroc's body?" A young voice sounded on the public frequency.
"Jellett?!" Camus covered his mouth and quickly turned off the public frequency. If he is recognized by an acquaintance, it will be over. Old Master Wufei has taught him countless times.
Gundam Mk-II approached while firing, and under the control of Camus, Teo deftly avoided all shots at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his bulky appearance.
"Are you kidding me, do you think I'll be the same as before when I was drilled by the old man to live and die?" Camus seemed to have something to do with Jellett, and when he saw him, his heart lit up, "You scum of the Titans!"
Tie O put on the Gundam Mk-II at a terrifying speed, wielding a beam saber in each hand quickly, and Jerit was in a hurry with the swordsmanship inherited from Char. In the chaos, Tie Ao suddenly stretched out two manipulators under his skirt, and two beam sabers were unfolded in the manipulators.
The four swords of the king and eight swords made Fajrit unable to withstand it immediately, and he was soon knocked out of the jetpack on his back in a sideways dodge, and fell towards the sea.
At this time, the Ex-S and the Zero Wing were finally in their respective positions. On both sides of the sky, two sturdy beams rushed straight to the sea from the sky. The roaring particle stream brought a wave of heat, and the air was dissociated by high energy to emit bright colors, hitting the battleship group below. The two beam cannons slowly moved their muzzles, and the multiple warships turned into metal dust under the sweep of the shelling.
"It's terrible, this power..." Camus looked at what happened in shock.
In the end, the command systems of the Britannia and Titans armies were completely destroyed, and the battlefield was paralyzed. Some of the overwhelmed MSs froze in place, some turned around and ran, and some were still relying on inertia to continue fighting with the enemy planes around them.
"Mission completed." Wufei's voice sounded on the friendly channel, "Return immediately."
Camus did not recover until he returned to the Iserlohn. After getting down from Tie'ao, an eager shout interrupted his musings.
"Really! Really!"
Stella flew into his arms while shouting Asuka's name. Asuka caught her, picked her up and turned around, and Stella also laughed cheerfully.
Camus twitched as he watched the warm and sweet scene in front of him. He had a secret that he couldn't tell anyone—he had a crush again, this time with his sister-in-law.
