Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 19 Promotion
As expected, after Eli expressed his thoughts, everyone else turned their attention to Major General Gao Yun.

"Major General Gao Yun, do you have any opinion on Lieutenant Eli's opinion?"

"Yes!"

Major General Gao Yun stood up on the screen, saluted first, then picked up a page of report to prepare for the report.

As a by-product of Operation V, Major General Gao Yun naturally has a considerable understanding of the Land Combat Gundam.

Therefore, Major General Gao Yun compared the parameters of the Apsaras obtained in this operation with the technical parameters of the land-based Gundam, and displayed the parameters of the Federation's current main battleships, the Samiras class and the Magellan class.

The final conclusion is that Apsaras can undoubtedly be called the Small Magellanic World on land.

As for the white base that also carried the Minovsky particle flight device? That was confidential information and could not be shown to Lieutenant Eli.

After Major General Gao Yun finished his report, the meeting place fell into silence for a while.

Eli knew that in fact, senior officials in Jaburo were discussing this matter behind the scenes.

Eli took this opportunity to take a closer look at the person on the last screen.

Lieutenant General Tianm is General Rebil's favorite disciple and his successor who he has high hopes for.

Unfortunately, during the Battle of Solomon, Vice Admiral Tianm was hit directly on the bridge by Big Zam and died on the spot.

General Rebil himself was killed by Gillen Zabi during the peace talks with Prince Dekin.

The federation's little hope was gone.

Eli looked at the two men, and seemed to be touched.

If I can save them, can the future of the Universal Century move towards a better direction?

Eli bowed his head.

How can he change it?

He was just a MS pilot, so no one would believe him if he told them directly.

Even if he followed them into space, Eli found it hard to believe that he could save these two people from such a brutal battle.

With a slight sigh, Eli extinguished the flickering thoughts in his mind.

That is the throbbing that I, as a viewer, feel for the countless tragedies of the Universal Century.

Jaburo quickly came to a conclusion after discussing the matter.

But Eli had no way of knowing the result for the time being.

A mere second lieutenant is not capable of participating in such decision-making.

Even their immediate superior, Colonel Ethan, was only able to attend as a listener.

"Thank you for sharing, Lieutenant Eli. Now please leave."

General Rebir temporarily put the discussion on hold and ordered Eli to leave.

However, Eli could feel that General Rebil was smiling at him.

This is perfectly normal. General Rebil has always been known for his ability to discover talents, so it is normal for him to favor Eli, a pilot fighting on the front line.

"Yes!"

Eli left without any comment.

As for Shiro Amada? Unfortunately, he was not qualified to meet General Rebil.

In the subsequent analysis of the combat records of the Land Combat Gundam, it was discovered that Shiro Amada showed an unusual familiarity with the pilot of the Apsaras.

If Shiro Amada had succeeded in persuading the enemy to surrender at that time, everything would have been easy and he would have even been rewarded for it.

But unfortunately, Shiro Amada is now being interrogated by the military police.

So Eli had to wait in the lobby of the Southeast Asia Command, wearing a federal army uniform, watching the civilian staff coming and going and passing documents.

In addition to their rainforest front, there is also the hot sand front.

That’s right, there is also desert terrain in Southeast Asia.

Since the beginning of the Universal Century, the ecological environment of the Earth has been declining. Not long ago, Zeon smashed a colony satellite into the Earth, and it is foreseeable how much damage will be caused to the Earth in the future.

Eli was clear about this. As a result, in the hundred years of UC, the Earth Federation began to actively drive the residents of the Earth into the universe. For this purpose, a special hunter force was established to drive out those without residence permits.

Can such a policy really be called correct?

"Lieutenant, Colonel Ethan wants to see you."

After a while, a communicator came to Eli, who was slumped in his seat in the hall, thinking.

"Ok."

Eli immediately stood up, straightened his clothes which were messy due to his casual sitting posture, and then walked towards Colonel Ethan's office under the guidance of the communicator.

When he pushed open the door, Eli saw Colonel Ethan sitting at his desk, apparently processing some documents.

Why do we say “like”?

Because Eli's keen perception told him that the moment he came in, Colonel Ethan focused his attention on him.

"Second Lieutenant Eli Lee, reporting in!"

Eli walked steadily to Colonel Ethan's side and saluted.

Now Ethan slowly put down the documents in his hand, raised his head and gave Eli a gentle smile.

"Welcome, Lieutenant Eli."

He also raised his hand and returned the greeting to Eli.

"Lieutenant?"

Eli repeated doubtfully.

He didn't think Colonel Ethan would make a mistake in such a place.

The only explanation is that Eli might have been promoted.

And speaking at this juncture...

"Lieutenant Eli, because of your combat achievements over the past three months, you have been recognized by the higher-ups. Now you have been assigned the task of exploring Apsaras, and accordingly, you have been promoted in rank."

Ethan stood up, walked over to Eli and patted him on the shoulder.

In the eyes of others, Ethan is a gentle and polite person who treats his subordinates kindly.

However, in the final mine attack, he directly ordered Team 07 to enter the mine, intending to detonate the power reactor and trigger a nuclear explosion in order to circumvent the Antarctic Treaty.

Eli, who knew this, understood that this extremely cunning man was not as harmonious as he seemed.

Of course, Eli still agreed with the order to destroy the Sambagil-class aircraft carrier.

If that shipload of supplies and troops were sent back to the mainland, no one knew what impact it would have on the war situation.

"Lieutenant Eli, in order to facilitate your investigation of Apsaras, we have decided to merge Team 06 and Team 08 into an independent combat team. This time, the command of this team will be entirely yours."

Ethan did not see the joy on Eli's face for his promotion, so he threw another piece of news at him.

This time, Eli's face showed surprise.

"I will be in charge of the command? Lieutenant Shiro That Day..."

"As you know, it's not a good thing for him to be associated with Zeon at this critical moment, especially since the higher-ups are paying close attention to the Apsaras. But he promised me that he would either persuade the Apsaras pilots to surrender or destroy them, so he was able to continue fighting. Correspondingly, he also lost his command."

Colonel Ethan looked at Eli's expression with satisfaction and sat back down at his desk.

Seeing this, Eli knew that he was being asked to leave, so he saluted silently and turned to walk towards the door.

"By the way, Lieutenant Eli, the higher-ups have sent other troops to investigate the Apsaras incident. You must remember to 'assist' them~"

At the last moment before going out, Ethan spoke again.

Without waiting for Eli to answer, the door closed, blocking Eli's view inside.
