Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 34 Confidential Information
"War? Does this mean the outbreak of war is inevitable?"

Rambaral leaned on the bar, and Harmon brought him a beer and refilled Macharius with a glass of lemon soda.

"Yes, and I estimate that Zeon will be in trouble in the next few days!"

"Negotiation, you mean?"

"It's not just about negotiations. Does Kilian have any ideas about the Federation's Jupiter Fleet?"

This time, Rambaral flew up in surprise, because this matter could even be said to be extremely confidential within Zeon.

A long time ago, the Earth Federation had begun exploring Jupiter and established a huge colonial base to mine Jupiter's rich heavy hydrogen resources. As a result, there were fleets traveling between Earth and Jupiter, and they would travel thousands of miles to send the collected resources back to Earth.

Because of sanctions, Zeon cannot obtain heavy hydrogen from the Federation, so it can only establish its own fleet to carry out transportation missions.

Because of the important role of heavy hydrogen in military and aerospace, carrying out anti-shipping operations against it is naturally one of Zeon's plans.

But now, this plan can be announced. Rambaral racked his brains but couldn't understand how this plan proposed in the President's Palace, which was known to only seven or eight people, was leaked to the Federation. Could it be?
"Yes, it was Kihlen who leaked it!"

"???"

Rambalar looked at him as if to say, "Are you kidding me?" But then he realized that the other party wouldn't be able to tell him who leaked it, so he just assumed that it was Kilian who leaked it!
"So, what else do you have to say about the war?"

"There are many, but at the beginning, I have something I want to ask you!"

"what?"

"If tens of millions of innocent civilians were to die in front of you, what would you do?"

"I'll find a way to save them!"

"What if it was the Zabi family who caused their death?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. To be honest, there are many things I want to say, but it's meaningless to say them now. You can't abandon the Zabi family and join the Federation just because of a few simple words from me. But I hope that if a tragedy happens one day, you can stand up!"

"What on earth are you talking about, kid? What tragedy?"

Rambalar's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. Why did this guy like to be a riddle teller just like his father?

"Okay, let's skip this topic and talk about the Deacon faction!"

"If possible, I think this country should return to the hands of the Deacon faction!"

"That's easy to say, but where are the Deacon factions now?"

"do not you?"

"I……"

Rambaral helplessly drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"So, you just lack a flag, and you already have this flag!"

"But you refuse to tell me the whereabouts of Caspar!"

"If I tell you, will it stop the war? Most importantly, can you protect him?"

Macharius also thought about exposing Char's identity now, but that would only make Gihren waste a little more time signing two execution orders. Not only Zeon, but also the Earth bureaucrats would not want another Deaken to appear until the Zabi family left a painful memory for the Earth bureaucrats.

What's more, at this moment, Char is just an executor with a mind full of desire for revenge. For him, revenge on the Zabi family who killed his father and forced them to separate from their mother is what he should do.

“But I can’t just do nothing!”

"Then let's prepare. Prepare until the day the Zabi family falls, so you can meet Caspar with your chest held high. How about that?"

"Are you so sure that the Zabi family will lose?"

"Why not? The outcome of a war is never determined by a weapon, but by the people who operate it!"

"Well, one last question!" "What?"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Rambaral looked at Macharius who had stood up and then asked.

"Because, perhaps you are the only pitiful Zeon soldier I know!"

"So if the day you mentioned comes, what do you hope to do?"

"As the saying goes, only by living can there be hope, right?"

Watching everyone leave, Rambaral suddenly sighed.

"This kid said a lot, but it felt like he said nothing!"

"No, actually he has said a lot, hasn't he?"

Harmon leaned gently against her fiancé, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and her thoughts went back to the day when they escorted Deacon's children away.

Another reason why Rambaral did not leave Zeon was that he felt that one day Caspar would return like lightning. Therefore, after hearing the news of Caspar's death, Rambaral became depressed because his hope and persistence had no meaning.

But now, everything is fine!

"So, Boss, what did you talk about with those two people?"

On the shuttle leaving Zim City, the Red Dragon team members, unable to contain their curiosity, approached Macharius again, trying to find out something.

"intelligence!"

Macharius smiled slightly and then spoke in a low voice.

"Those two guys are actually federal agents, and I got secret information from them!"

"Stop, stop, we don't want to listen anymore!"

Upon hearing this, several people quickly stepped aside, and even when the shuttle arrived at the Guardian's area, they were still looking around to see if there were any military police. So when Macharius told them that he was going to the headquarters and have dinner, these people clearly refused.

"That's such a shame. I'll be the only one enjoying the unlimited desserts in the headquarters restaurant!"

Of course, Macharius did not go to the headquarters to eat dessert. He went directly to the sentry registration booth and called King Encrini's secretary.

Then a burly major drove a small tram to the gate and took Macharius away.

"The Lieutenant General is in a meeting right now, so I won't be able to see you until later. Do you have any urgent matters?"

"Yes, I got two pieces of information from the Zeon people, about Side6 and the Jupiter Fleet!"

"I understand. I'll notify him immediately after he finishes the meeting!"

Then, Macharius was taken directly outside the meeting room to wait.

About half an hour later, a small door outside the meeting room was pushed open.

"Cliny, come in!"

The secretary whispered to Macharius outside.

When he entered, he saw two lieutenant generals of the Federation Army sitting in the conference room, having a video call with Earth. The person they were communicating with was Lieutenant General Gop, who was stationed at the Federation Army headquarters in Gabro.

"So, what information did you get?"

King had no doubt about the authenticity of Macharius's intelligence.

"The Zeon military plans to launch an anti-Federation coup on Side 6 and attack the transport ships of the Jupiter Fleet!"
