Earth, Paris.
As a senior official of Mithril, Tessa was in formal attire attending a joint military meeting that made her extremely dissatisfied, but she could only attend patiently. The two people beside her were Dannu. Richard, the deputy captain of the Son, and Jerome Boda, another senior official of Mithril and Tessa's elder, are now actually the real number one of Mithril two years later. person in charge.
Among the three, Tessa and Richard remained silent, while the last one, Jerome Boda, pressed his hands on the table in front of him and argued with seriousness.
"I personally have no objections to the overall arrangements of the coalition forces. As a soldier, obeying orders is the first duty. But from Mithril's point of view, I reject this. We are just the coalition forces, and we are just united to fight against the dimensional beasts. The military, in fact, even now, nearly two years after the appearance of the Dimensional Beasts, the countries represented by everyone present have not truly united. We are just a group of vanguard soldiers who gathered to fight against the Dimensional Beasts. That’s all, so we are our respective countries and organizations first, and the coalition second.”
"Internally, the job of the top leaders of the coalition is only to coordinate and support rather than command. Even if a few troops have begun to be mixed, most of the troops still maintain completely independent organizations and commands. What is the reason? You know it, and of course this includes us, Mithril.”
"That ship, the Son of New Dannu, is a product of Mithril. I don't think everyone present has the right to ask us to hand over that ship, just like we, Mithril, have never asked you to hand over the most advanced ships in the world." It's the same as handing over the weapons. There is no such thing and it is impossible. That is our top secret. Are you willing to hand over your top secret to us?"
"We are willing to put the Sons of New Danu into combat against dimensional beasts and have fulfilled all our responsibilities and obligations. But in fact, Mithril has no such responsibilities and obligations. Mithril is a mercenary organization. It's just a mercenary organization that has the power to surpass all governments. We are willing to make such investment in order to make the world a better place and make the world safer. I don't want our kindness to become your tool. .”
"To take a step back, that ship is a personal gift given to Captain Tessa by the person you know now. Even if Mithril is willing to give it to you and hand over the ship to you, the right to make the final decision It’s still in the hands of Captain Tessa, haha, to put it bluntly, if I really want to hand over that ship to you, aren’t you afraid that that person will cause you trouble after knowing about this?”
"No one within Mithril dared to say anything about studying that ship. I really don't know how you came up with such an idea. At this moment, I really hope that you are just impulsive. And not for any other purpose.”
After Jerome finished speaking, he raised the cup at hand and took a sip of water. He did not look at the ugly expressions on the faces of the other dozen people in the meeting. After all, what Jerome said was unceremonious and he was already pointing. It has the meaning of scolding one's nose for being stupid.
Except for Mithril and the three people present who were wearing the same uniforms, everyone else was wearing different clothes, either suits or military uniforms from different countries. The military ranks hanging on the shoulders of those wearing military uniforms were all the same. Generals, and those who are not wearing military uniforms also look like they have a certain air of presence inside.
After Jerome's words fell, the whole venue was quiet for a while, but not long after, one person coughed slightly and spoke: "General Boda, what you said is too serious, everyone knows The relationship between Mithril and that person. You once solved the crisis caused by amalgam together. It can be said that you are both the heroes of this world. We have never denied that person’s role in the world and his original influence. , but our demands are not that excessive.”
"We just ask that the ship be taken out and used as a real coalition force. Of course, as General Boda said, it is the property of Mithril, but we are not trying to occupy the battleship, we just hope Well, if Mithril can share it, we will have more coordinated operations in the future, and it is only natural for the coalition forces to become more familiar with that battleship."
"Of course we hope to be clearer about what is going on with this battleship. After all, the current situation on the earth is so severe. It used to be dimensional beasts, but now suddenly there are more such battleships and a group of combat troops with completely unknown origins. , how much do you Mithril know about this information, can you share it publicly, after all, it is related to the security of the world, right?"
"There is also that person. It is undeniable that he once brought stability to this earth, but who is he? Is he an alien or a visitor from another world? Does he have good intentions or malice towards us? Is he an enemy or a friend? Don't you all need to confirm it? The other party gave you a battleship. Why did they give you such a battleship? Is it because of your simple relationship, or is it because of the relationship between men and women, or maybe it's because of Mithril? I have surrendered to them and been bribed, I think there are many explanations here."
"That's right." One person said loudly: "Now this is not just a unilateral problem for you Mithril, but a matter of the safety of the entire world, whether it is to prove your innocence or for the safety of the world. , Mithril must give us an explanation!"
Tessa gritted her teeth gently, wanting to stand up and scold these bastards. Tessa knew about the situation of the Burning Legion. Although she didn't know much, at least there was something behind the moon. Tessa It is completely clear that with that kind of combat power, if you really want to capture the earth, it is estimated that all the resistance forces on the entire earth can be suppressed in a few days.
Now, a force that could have occupied the entire earth long ago has been lurking on the back of the moon. It has not dispatched any large-scale force to appear on the earth at all. Instead, it has focused its attention on Chidori Kaname, who is a greater threat to the world. , and from many aspects, it can be said that Xiao Ran and his forces are not a threat to the earth, but can become the protector of the earth.
Of course, Tessa didn't tell anyone else about Chidori's situation. Otherwise, these guys who didn't know what the idea was for would definitely capture Chidori at all costs. It was for research or observation, but in the end it would definitely let Chidori. Birds disappear into this world because it's called dealing with threats.
But there are too many things about Tessa that can't be said, things about Chidori can't be said, things about Xiao Ran's fleet still can't be said, once you talk about it, a lot of things will come up.
Although the aircraft and battleships exposed by Xiao Ran are powerful and have indeed attracted the attention of these forces, at least they have not reached the level of resistance, allowing them to feel a little threat but not feel fear or fear. At the same time, Mithril has an extra battleship in his hands, which has diverted their attention to some extent. But if they really tell these people that there is an invincible fleet above their heads, what will happen next? Tessa really It's hard to guarantee, and it's hard to determine how much chaos it will cause. Besides, it belongs to the Burning Legion's military. Just because Xiao Ran is willing to take her to see it doesn't mean that she can casually tell everything she sees regardless of it. come out.
Under such circumstances, all Tessa could do was remain silent. She couldn't talk about Xiao Ran's fleet, couldn't talk about Chidori, couldn't talk about the information about the Son of New Danu, and couldn't allow non-recognition. members landed on the battleship, and it was absolutely impossible to hand the battleship into the hands of others.
In fact, Tessa also understands very well that some of these people's difficulties are probably for Xiao Ran's intelligence and purpose, and they want to know these things, but more of it is actually for the technology contained in that battleship, the battleship If you want to use it to do something with the body it is equipped with, it is nothing more than stealing technology to enhance its strength to gain more say, greater rights and interests.
In Tessa's eyes, this group of people who really live on the earth are really not as trustworthy as an 'outsider' like Xiao Ran. The so-called coalition in the past two years is just a formality. Although there is credit and dedication, in the end, which one Instead of relying on mithril to deal with the dimensional beasts that appeared, is it really true that the combined power of a country is not as big as one mithril
Moreover, during the joint operations, these countries also obtained a lot of technologies related to MS and transforming fighters while Mithril turned a blind eye. Mithril was for the security of the world, but after so long As time has passed, have these countries really not developed anything of their own? This is definitely impossible, but nothing related to this has ever appeared on the battlefield. So what is this for? Throwing all the most difficult battles to Mithril and completely ignoring the sacrifices of his own and ordinary soldiers of other countries, what is the purpose of this? Why do you still blame Mithril at this time, and put those unwarranted charges on Mithril's head? Mithril is not a traitor, and they have already paid a lot for the dimensional beast.
Tessa felt so uncomfortable and wronged. She bit her lower lip gently, wanting to leave this annoying place and these annoying people.
Richard patted Tessa on the shoulder and shook his head gently, indicating that Tessa didn't mind what other people in the conference room said. Jerome Boda was also very dissatisfied. This was not the first time because of the same problem. And opening this kind of unnecessary meeting is just to repeat the same thing again and again, to take out the battleship for everyone to share. If this really means taking out the battleship to share, can Mithril afford Xiao Ran's responsibility? Needless to say, anger, even if it is not needed, it is impossible.
"Explain, what explanation do you want me to give you?" Jerome slapped the table and stood up, shouting in a deep voice: "Tell me what explanation you want, an explanation of transforming fighter technology or an explanation of MS technology, or... Regarding the λ system’s explanation, don’t you know how much your respective men have done in the past year or so? Have I ever asked you for any explanation?”
"Did I ask you for an explanation when your technicians sneaked into the maintenance class and secretly filmed and learned our techniques? Now you want me to give you an explanation?"
One person looked at Jerome's angry look and shook his head and smiled: "Haha, General Boda doesn't need to be so angry. Of course I personally don't deny what you said, but you can't deny that Mithril's technologies can be spread to the world. How much help does it bring to the security of Mithril? At least the materials and components used by Mithril in the past six months have been provided by the coalition, right? Let us master those technologies and develop them with the power of the country. Of course, Mithril is better than you. Much stronger, of course we are grateful for Mithril's deliberate 'care' for us, but now it is a completely different situation, which involves the security of the world, which is different from the fact that we are a part of this world union. We need to understand the concept of weapons that may become enemies, and we also need to take countermeasures as soon as possible after the opponent becomes an enemy."
"So, General Boda, you Mithril really have to give us an explanation today. What is the relationship between Captain Tessa and that person? I'm afraid you also have to explain it in detail like us."
"boom!"
The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open with great force, and the huge force hit the wall with a loud bang. The people in the conference room were startled and reflexively turned their heads to look in the direction where the door opened.
Tessa also looked at the door, and after seeing the figure standing in front of the open door, an expression of disbelief and astonishment suddenly appeared on her face, while other people were either angry, surprised, or I was confused or my eyes were wide open.
The corners of the visitor's mouth were raised, but the smile he showed was definitely not gentle and kind. It was more like a sneer and ridicule. He slowly walked into the conference room and said softly: "I thought I heard you say just now, Do you want an explanation? Do you want any other explanation?"
"Who are you and why are you here, guard, guard!"
"No need to shout, everyone outside has been subdued." The person said calmly, and behind him, a group of fully armed soldiers and casually dressed people poured in. As soon as they entered, the entire conference room was filled with people. Give full control.
"Well, it's just like you are now."
Tessa stood up and looked at the speaker with some confusion. She asked in surprise: "Reynard, you... why are you here? What are you doing?"
