Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

You can't expect every politician to be a once-in-a-millennium great figure, the kind who would betray their own class without hesitation just to create a better world.

Most rulers in the world are people who cannot betray their class, and Sirocco is no exception. But at least as a leader, his abilities far surpass those of the Federation's Insects and Zeon's Mad Dogs.

While he held the strange feminist ideal that "the postwar Earth Sphere should be ruled and managed by women," he also said, "Governing the Earth Sphere requires genius."

The genius referred to here is of course Sirocco himself. To put it bluntly, this whole argument is just him wanting to use his Newtype abilities to seduce women in order to become the behind-the-scenes leader.

This natural charm towards women is probably why he is disliked by people outside the drama.

Sirocco verbally supports women, but in reality, he's just using them. His erudite, almost saccharine-like abilities allowed him to steal the important female character, Reikoa Rondo, from the main cast.

Therefore, from a creative perspective, Shirakawa embodies the characteristic of being inherently disliked—it's difficult for both men and women to like him.

But aside from that, you have to admit that Sirocco is a villain with a very clean record.

In this regard, look at what kind of guy Harman is next to him? He inherited the Zeon tradition of dumping garbage and directly dropped a colony satellite into Dublin, Earth. Shirok's KDA might not even be one ten-thousandth of Harman's.

Of course, this is also because Sirocco never successfully took power from beginning to end. It was like Wang Mang before he usurped the throne. But given Sirocco's behavior, if he had really taken control of the Earth Federation, it would have been better than continuing that rotten order.

At least they get things done! It's better than Char, a politically immature giant baby, dragging the hopes of the universe's inhabitants up there, only to give up his own thing just to have a fight with his buddy.

This is why Tsurugi discovered Sirocco's soul and decisively retrieved it.

He knew this man was ambitious, that he could never gain Sirocco's loyalty, and that he was a traitor to his superiors.

But so what?

Tsugumi doesn't care! He just needs an all-powerful butler to handle all this crap! Loyalty is never an issue, and he doesn't plan to rule anything anyway. He doesn't care whether he crushes the Zeon Federation and then hands it over to Sirocco or someone else.

Anyway, even if it's bad, it's still better than those two lumps, the Federation and the Zabi family.

—Don't try to whitewash how good the Federation was at this time. The Federation was a mess back then, and the Federation Army was just as bad as the Hogeon army. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been treated like dogs after losing a year of war in the GUUUUAX timeline. They didn't have the Federation that fans were touting as being able to fight for another ten years.

You think the Federal Republic is the old US from World War II? In reality, they're just a reskinned late Qing Dynasty!

“Sirocco, I know you will not be loyal to me, or to anyone else.”

Looking at Sirocco, who was lying on the ground panting, Tsurugi said leisurely.

“But I don’t need your loyalty or anything else. What I need is for you to help me handle complicated issues—I won’t interfere with any tricks you might play, like building your own team.”

"I only care about the results, I don't care about the process! You just need to do what I tell you to do, and the rest is up to you!"

Sirocco stopped his painful breathing. With difficulty but determination, he sat up, knelt on one knee before Tsurugi, and bowed his head.

"Yes... Master, I will do everything you ask."

"Call me Venerable Vida!"

"Very well, Your Excellency, what is your plan, or rather, your purpose?"

Sirocco raised his head and said seriously that he had accepted his current situation in a very short time and quickly found his place.

He had no idea what this person in front of him was. Was it a new human? Could something that could resurrect the dead and manipulate people from a distance really be a new human?!

Only idiots say such things.jpg

But what does all this have to do with Sirocco? Rather, for Sirocco, the stronger the person he has to serve now, the better. After all, you only have the right to talk about dividing the cake after you've made it.

Moreover, it seems he lacks a feast of talent. If that's the case, at least in this new future system, Sirocco doesn't need to worry about his position.

Despite having many ideas in her mind, the respectful Sirocco had clearly and quickly found her place in the team.

"First kill Zeon, then destroy the Federation!!!"

Tsugumi, sporting a Darth Vader-like skin, said confidently.

What lofty ambitions! Sirocco felt a chill run down his spine, then was quite pleased—it's good to have an ambitious leader, after all, he was quite ambitious himself!

"So your initial plan is..."

"First kill Zeon, then destroy the Federation!!!"

"No, I mean, have you developed any specific workable plan or route?"

"First kill Zeon, then destroy the Federation!!!"

Sirocco: ......

He always felt that his new boss was playing him for a fool—his NT intuition told him that the person in front of him wasn't stupid, but his answer told Sirocco that he was serious.

Tsurugi: Plan? What plan do you need? Just fucking go up there and kill the Zeonians, then turn around and kill the Federation, isn't that enough?

Sirocco took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and smiled.

"So what is the current strength of our organization? How many mobile suits and battleships do we have?"

Tsurugi pointed at him, then at herself, and finally at the boat outside.

"One for you, one for me, one Muse-class cruiser, not a single mobile suit."

Sirocco: ......

"Then what do you intend to use to defeat Zeon?" Sirocco asked through gritted teeth, barely containing his rage.

Tsurugi pulled hard on the ruined building next to him, and then his powerful and invincible Force crushed the entire building in mid-air!

"Use the electric cannon!!!"

Changing the style doesn't stop it from killing! : 112. Sirocco: What to do when the boss is a brute?

The good news is that my boss seems to be someone who doesn't like to think and has no cunning.

Even better news: their leader possesses exceptional combat capabilities!

The bad news—his superior intelligence told him that superpowers would suffice.

Sirocco is undoubtedly a very cunning person. He is like Lu Bu or Sima Yi, a villain hiding among the crowd.

He was very good at this kind of backstabbing and intrigue; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rise all the way up from the Jupiter Fleet to the position of leader of the Titans.

However, this kind of Shilock is not good at dealing with intuitive and straightforward people.

For example, Camus, and Tsurugi.

In Shilock's view, Tsurugi was an oversized, extreme version of Camus.

That brat surrounded by women has a volatile and extreme personality; when he gets carried away, he acts without considering the consequences—but no matter what, he's still a good person.

Even if he gets carried away, he will never cross the line, which is great for a bad guy.

But my new boss is completely different. He has no bottom line, or rather, he does things based entirely on what he feels at first glance.

If it looks pleasant and is useful, that's fine. If it's useless but looks pleasant, I won't mind letting you off the hook. But if it's both unpleasant and useless, you're doomed!

Oh, even if you're very useful, if you annoy me, I'll torment you even more.

All of the above was read aloud by Sirocco, especially since Tsurugi even 'kindly' opened up the souls he had enslaved and absorbed for Sirocco to see.

The legendary super grandma head instantly suppressed all its thoughts and became obedient.

He will wholeheartedly assist his new leader until he sees any hope of defeating Tsurugi.

As for the claim of being weak, Sirocco didn't think much of it. After all, his starting point wasn't exactly high either, and besides, with the One Year War about to begin, there were countless opportunities!

Chaos is a ladder, and they were experiencing the largest war and chaos in human history, a ladder to climb everywhere!

While Sirocco found Tsurugi's personality quite difficult to deal with, there was one thing Sirocco was very satisfied with.

As long as Dongjiang doesn't object, he can do whatever he wants to Dongjiang without caring.

Sirocco immediately began to formulate a plan.

"My Lord, you have repelled the attacking Zeon army, and they will not be able to spare any troops to cause you trouble for the time being—they must now devote themselves fully to the Battle of Loum against the Federation."

Sirocco seamlessly transitioned into the role of strategist, immediately beginning to devise strategies for Tsurugi.

"So what we should do now is to integrate the existing forces on Ishufi Island, take the valuable people and leave here for the area where the Federation Army is located. I personally suggest that we should go directly to Side 6 to avoid the war and occupy it to gradually develop our power."

Sirocco offered a very constructive plan—first, the Battle of Loum, the beginning of the One Year War. In this largest fleet battle in the history of the Universal Century, both sides of the Zeon Federation staked out almost all of their trump cards, and the result was nothing more than mutual destruction.

The Federation suffered almost complete losses, except for the space fleet preserved by Vice Admiral Tiam. The Federation forces were wiped out by 80%. The Zeon forces fared relatively better, achieving a surprising and impressive 3:1 victory with their mobile suits. However, this did not mask the fact that they themselves had also suffered heavy casualties.

而在这场战争中，除了开战之前就已经被吉翁突袭全灭的SIDE1、SIDE2和SIDE4三个殖民区，以及在鲁姆会战中作为主战场所以全灭的SIDE5之外，人类的殖民地就只剩下了SIDE3、SIDE6和修建不久的SIDE7了。

SIDE3 is Zeon's stronghold, while SIDE7 is the Federation's private territory. Therefore, SIDE6, which became independent as the 'Republic of Leia' even before Zeon before the war started, is almost the only neutral zone that was not affected by the war during the entire One Year War.

Of course, this neutrality is just talk. As far as Sirocco knows, there is a Federation research and development base on the colony satellite Libot in Side 6, which was used to develop the RX-78NT-1 Gundam.

Now is undoubtedly the best time to advance on Side 6. The Federation Zeon is preoccupied with other matters, and the Republic of Leia's military strength is quite weak. For them, who aspire to dominate the universe, this is a crucial step!

"I refuse!!!"

Tsugumi rejected Sirocco's suggestion in a loud voice.

Sirocco's face froze instantly, then he asked patiently and respectfully.

"Can I ask why?"

"Because I'm going to Rum, I'm going to kill Zeon!" Tsugumi said matter-of-factly.

"How could I not join in such a big commotion? Forget about Grandma's head, I'm definitely going to Rum, and I'm definitely killing that Zeon guy. Even Jesus couldn't stop me!"

Sirocco took several deep breaths, then whispered...

"What about the refugees here? Since you want me to take them in, if you go to Rumm, wouldn't they...?"

Sirocco used moral blackmail!

"Does their life or death have much to do with me? Without me, they would have become Australians long ago!"

Tsurugi looked at Sirocco with a strange expression, as if to say, "You look like a sneaky little thing, why do you keep saying things only the protagonist would say?"

"But—without these people, how can we build our own power?"

"It's easy," Tsugumi said, spreading her hands.

"Anyone who wants to beat up Zeon can come with us, though I'm not sure how many will survive. Anyway, after we finish off Loom, those who are supposed to come with us can come, and those who don't, I don't care if they die!"

Is this the crux of the problem?!

The problem isn't that—where do you get the confidence that you'll survive the Battle of Loum?

Sirocco was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape!

The Battle of Loum was an unprecedented large-scale space fleet battle in the Universal Century. The fleets deployed by both sides may not seem technologically advanced to later observers, but their sheer number was truly massive!
