EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 115 113. Kirishima Mana
"The apostles were annihilated."

While Shinji Ikari and Makiba were talking about Unit-1, there was also a noisy conversation going on in the distance.

In the spacious conference room.

Someone said so.

Looking around, there are many bigwigs in suits gathered here, among which the elderly in their seventies occupy the vast majority of the seats, with only a few young faces. These are the politicians standing at the pinnacle of power in Japan. If Ikari Gendō were here, he would probably laugh and say that they are a bunch of rats in the gutter and can be destroyed with a flip of the hand.

Because this is the Japan Strategic Self-Defense Force.

Commonly known as the Japanese military.

Seeing the NERV headquarters gradually recovering its power as shown on the screen, a lively discussion broke out in the Japanese military's conference room.

"It's obviously a great opportunity for a power outage, but why don't you do anything?"

Someone said eagerly.

"You can't think like that. We still need those people from NERV to resist the apostles." Someone else calmly rejected the proposal, "Besides, we know nothing about it, so we have no idea where to start if we want to do anything, right?"

"We don't know which organization was responsible for this power outage. It seems that NERV is not working together." Some people even sneered.

"enough!"

An old man said,
"JA Robot failed at the previous unveiling meeting. It was too stupid to explode because it lost control. All our hard work has gone to waste. Now NERV is the only one in power. We can only accept this fact. Before we develop our own humanoid weapons, we should not try to fight against them. For the time being, we should just follow their orders."

"…This is clearly our land, yet we have to be commanded by these outsiders. They even set up their headquarters here, should we feel honored?"

someone whispered.

A regional international organization.

He was able to gain control of the entire city.

Moreover, the work of the entire Third New Tokyo City was arranged by the so-called computer, which was ridiculous. How could we trust the machine in such a matter? Even the military could not intervene and could only make superficial efforts. Some people were quite dissatisfied with this. If it were not for the international environment and a certain country behind Japan, the military would have disobeyed orders long ago.

"What? You want to face the EVA humanoid weapon called Neon Genesis Evangelion?"

"..."

The other party was silent.

As long as those three EVA machines are deployed, perhaps the entire military can be wiped out.

That's why everyone is upset about this.

Therefore, the military is also secretly developing its own humanoid weapons.

Although the specific secrets of the EVA machine are unknown, the technical principles are definitely the same. If the people at NERV can do it, then we can definitely do it too. Starting from the mechanical aspect, we will create a huge humanoid weapon, and then use it on the battlefield of the future. This is the military's plan.

However, it is better to avoid losing control like the JA robot did last time. For the time being, a driver is needed as insurance.

Tens of minutes later.

The noisy meeting finally came to an end.

The old man, whose energy was somewhat reduced by the noise, returned to his office and started reading a newly printed document.

——Ikari Shinji.

The pilot of Unit-01 and the son of Gendō Ikari.

Almost all the information about him has been erased. Anyone can only find the surface information. NERV Intelligence Department has done a perfect job of keeping the pilots confidential. The information of the other two female pilots is only their names. Unlike Ikari Shinji, who has lived in Japan for so many years and left a lot of information. So the only breakthrough may be in this boy.

At this moment he keenly noticed something funny.

"You're still in school? What do you think the apostles are? Are you just playing house?"

The old man thought.

However, this is also the best opportunity for the military. If the pilots all stay in the NERV headquarters, there will be no chance to contact them at all. It is simply nonsense to want to obtain information about the EVA body to improve the humanoid weapons independently developed here.

At that time, we can only compete with NERV's intelligence department in a battle of wits and courage.

School...

He quickly came up with a simple plan and made a phone call.

Shortly after.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Enter."

The old man said without even looking up.

A young soldier walked in.

From the appearance, she was a very young girl with short hair and a gentle face.

After the disaster fifteen years ago, the sea level rose and part of the land in Japan sank. Many people lost their homes. It was no longer uncommon for young soldiers to serve in the military. Some children who had no ability to survive had no choice but to join the army to support themselves.

Even the current third New Tokyo City.

It was not rebuilt on the original location of Tokyo City.

It had long been submerged by the sea, and now only some unimportant bases remained in the old Tokyo city, such as a base dedicated to growing flowers.

"What do you want from me?"

"check it out."

The old man handed her a picture of a boy.

The boy inside was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and he was smiling slightly.

This is a uniform photo from school.

"You will be transferred to the school in the near future. Your goal is to contact the pilot of Unit-01, a boy named Ikari Shinji. You can use any means, but don't hurt him. After all, he is that man's son. And we still need EVA to fight the Angels. We must get information about the EVA from him, but be careful not to attract the attention of those people at NERV."

There is nothing we can do about this spy who cannot even be considered a mature one, with so many restrictions.

It would be nice if we could kidnap the pilot.

But those people in NERV's Intelligence Department are not here for free, and that city is like their home ground. As for the suspicion that might arise if I transfer in during this period, I really can't care about that.

It's just a casual move anyway.

There is nothing to feel bad about the loss.

The girl in military uniform and gentle temperament in front of him saluted straight, then took the photos and information.

Her soldier nameplate reads "Kirishima".

"Ikari Shinji."

She browsed through the almost blank information.

A boy who came to Tokyo-3 a few months ago and suddenly became the pilot of Unit-01. He used to live in the countryside and many places were unknown. After personality analysis, he was considered easy to get along with. He is currently a student in Class A, Grade 2, First Junior High School, Tokyo-3. He is very popular among his peers in school. He is a good student and good at sports. He is also suspected of having improper relationships with two other female pilots. He is simply a winner in life.

NERV's intelligence department is extremely leakproof, and the military can only collect this information despite their best efforts.

While some people join the army to make a living, others are still studying leisurely in school.

Kirishima thought.
