Chapter Ninety-Five: The Scoundrels of the Federation

"Is this what Luna 2 requires for mass-produced machines?"

Brigadier General Gao Yun reviewed the documents submitted by Lin Xingyuan, raising his eyebrows and widening his eyes.

"Yes, some of my personal opinions are also included."

"No need to be modest, Captain. You've already proven your worth. Hmm... completely abandoning the core fighter? Won't that affect the pilot's survivability?"

"To be frank, if the cockpit is directly hit by a beam weapon, it's pointless whether or not you have a core fighter system. If indirect damage affects combat, you should evacuate immediately. If it's just for escape, a sturdy spherical pod with a life support system and a simple propulsion system is sufficient, and it's also relatively easy to operate. A semi-circular display screen also provides a better field of view than the spliced ​​screen of a core fighter, and most importantly—it's much cheaper to produce than a core fighter."

"Hmm... what you said makes a lot of sense, but we still need to convince Dr. Timre and the others at the technical demonstration meeting."

Gao Yun said noncommittally, and Lin Xingyuan was also taken aback when he heard Dr. Timree's words.

Is Timre still in Gabro? Didn't he go to Side 7?

But considering it's only July, it's not surprising.

"Yes, I will do my best."

"Then, please make sure you arrive on time for tomorrow's technical demonstration meeting."

"understand!"

After concluding his meeting with Gao Yun, Lin Xingyuan took his leave and got back into the jeep he had come in. As soon as they left the headquarters, Tachibana Kanna couldn't wait to ask Lin Xingyuan a question, while Kajima Yu also listened intently.

What did they talk about?

"Regarding the mass production of the new model, I have forwarded the specifications and technical report for Luna 2."

"Huh? Didn't I transfer you to the technical testing unit? Let me tell you, this Brigadier General Gao Yun is very cunning and quite good at deceiving people."

Tachibana Kamina whispered bad things about Takaoku, and Lin Xingyuan shook his head and chuckled.

No, that's not true.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"That's right, after the mission is completed, I still have to go back to space."

“…That’s right, the Space Force definitely won’t agree to you staying.” Tachibana suddenly realized, then smiled bitterly: “That’s great, we’re doomed, insignificant, and we don’t even know when we can go back to space.”

"The general's son is insignificant?" Lin Xingyuan glanced at him sideways.

"It's because he's the son of a general that his life is so unsatisfactory."

Tachibana Kamina said something incredibly irritating, while Kajima Isamu gave him a disdainful look and changed the subject.

"By the way, what does the new mass-produced model look like?"

"Ah, I'm interested in that too, tell me about it."

"Isn't this a military secret? Are you sure you want to know?"

Lin Xingyuan leaned back in his chair, looking at the two of them with amusement, while Tachibana Kamina curled her lip.

"Come on, we've been in that office too, we're already in the know."

"Ok."

Since that's the case, Lin Xingyuan briefly described the general content and asked for their opinions.

What do you guys think?

Both are experienced drivers and excellent candidates who can offer suggestions from the user's perspective.

"Abandon the core fighter jet system? You've joined those despicable bureaucrats too? Completely disregarding the lives of pilots just to save money!"

Upon hearing Lin Xingyuan's suggestion to cancel the core fighter jet system, Tachibana Kanna immediately protested loudly, but Kajima Yu considered it carefully and expressed his support.

"I think it's great. The airframe is strong, the structure is simple, and the reliability will be improved, right? In addition, the spherical screen provides a good field of view. These two points are much more important than the core of the fighter jet."

"But that's in space, right? How would you use it in a land-based version? If you open the hatch from the belly, what if you fall and get trapped? And that equipment-changing system sounds pretty good, giving you a lot of options for pilots, but wouldn't the training difficulty increase exponentially?"

"Ground-based specifications are definitely different from space-based models, but this can be avoided through design. As for the difficulty of cultivation you mentioned, that's indeed true..."

Lin Xingyuan shrugged helplessly, knowing full well that this plan might ultimately be simplified—the war was urgent, and the Federation didn't have that much time to train versatile elites who could adapt to the equipment swapping system. Take Project V, for example. Even though he proposed the equipment swapping system, using one machine to cover as many battlefield needs as possible, the Federation still developed the Guncannon and Guntank because these two types of machines were relatively easy to train pilots for, especially the Guntank, which could even be piloted directly by Type 61 pilots.

Just like the Strike Gundam versus the Strike Dagger—war requires simple and reliable weapons that can be mastered with a little training, are easy to produce, and then overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers.

Zeon, with its limited national strength, followed the path of Nazi Germany, eventually producing a warrior similar to the Tiger, but ultimately it was no match for the GM, which was comparable to a sea of ​​T-34s. Moreover, the Soviet Union also had its own formidable weapons.

It's likely that only after the war ends will the specifications be standardized again, and the quantity of equipment will be reduced in this way to save military spending.

"By the way, where are we going?"

After discussing technical issues for a while, Tachibana Kanna suddenly remembered something, stepped on the brakes, turned around and asked Hayashi Hoshihara, and then the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Go see General Tiam and Chief of Staff Kim Colini."

Lieutenant General Amonton was merely the commander of Luna 2 Base; Tiam and Kincolini were the current leaders of the Federation Space Fleet. As a member of the Space Force, Lin Xingyuan's visit to Gabro was undoubtedly to present them with the results of the Binson Project at Luna 2 Base and the Space Force's proposal for a new mass-produced machine.

"Received, let's go!"

Tachibana Ginne agreed, stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep sped through the Gabro base. After nearly forty minutes, navigating elevators, tunnels, and elevated highways, they finally arrived at the Space Force Ground Command. They spent considerable effort preparing a report, only to be told that the Admiral and Lieutenant General were inspecting the shipyard. So they spent another half hour rushing to the shipyard, getting lost several times among the rows of unfinished warships. Finally, after overcoming numerous security checks, they finally reached the location of Lieutenant General Tiam and Admiral Kincolini.

"It's such a rare vacation time, I wish I hadn't come..."

Kashima Isamu complained regretfully, while Tachibana Kamina found it a bit strange.

"That shouldn't be the case. Even generals and lieutenant generals wouldn't usually make such a big fuss..."

Lin Xingyuan also thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, after all, this was Gabro, where security was already very tight. However, once they entered the office, they immediately understood the reason.

Facing the massive glass curtain wall overlooking the entire shipyard, stood several of the Federation's highest-ranking officers—besides the Federation's Twin Pillars, General Tiam, whom he was to meet, and the Earth Federation's Space Chief of Staff, Admiral Kim Colini, there was also General Gablo, General Arasso Gap (369th), Lieutenant General Green White, Brigadier General Stephen Hepburn, and Fighter Douglas Bard. In short, a constellation of generals; it was no exaggeration to say that throwing a grenade at them would end the war. But what truly shocked Lin Xingyuan was the figure standing slightly behind—Jamitov Hyman! The future founder of the Titans!

[Holy crap! What's going on here? Why are all these important people here?]

[Otherwise what? The fleet's gone, what are they still doing in space?]

[How do you think Hua Ken got his position? All these people are gone.]

Hmph, a bunch of cowards.

The barrage of comments was noisy, but the most mentioned person was still Jamitov Hyman. Many comments suggested that Lin Xingyuan should kill him now, while others suggested that he should join him. In any case, this person was an important figure who could not be ignored.

Noticing Lin Xingyuan's gaze, Jamitov returned it expressionlessly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. At that moment, the secretary stepped forward to report, and Tianm and the others, who were speaking, turned to look at Lin Xingyuan and his companions, their eyes full of scrutiny.

"What's wrong? Come here."

Suddenly being stared at by so many important figures, Tachibana and Kashima Yu both froze with nervousness. Fortunately, the cat-loving strategist, Kim Colini, smiled and nodded to Lin Xingyuan and the others.

"Yes!"

Because the comments described them as lowly high-ranking officials of the Federation, Lin Xingyuan wasn't intimidated by the so-called important figures' imposing presence. He stepped forward first, and Tachibana and Kajima Yu, who were so nervous they were shaking, quickly followed. The three saluted together, and General 369 looked Lin Xingyuan up and down, his eyes practically closed with a smile.

"Is this the Black Reaper who sent Ireland to prison? Captain, do you know how much of a commotion you've caused in the upper echelons of the Federation Army?"

"Uh……"

The sudden topic caused Lin Xingyuan to break out in a cold sweat.

Author's message

……

……

By the way, was Jamitov Hyman actually part of the Afrika Korps? I've seen both versions of the story.

Some say it wasn't the same person because of their different ranks, while others say it was the same person, but that Djamitov didn't care about his military position and transferred to another post after the war ended.

What do you think?

Chapter Ninety-Six: They're All on Our Side

One of the defining characteristics of the Newtypes is their ability to sense others' emotions and understand their intentions. So even though he was only LV1, Lin Xingyuan could still sense that Dogepu wasn't really blaming him, but just joking.

However, on the other hand, these people in front of him were all Rebil's faction, differing only in their radicalism and conservatism. And he was Rebil's "favorite general," so they were all "one of their own."

So Lin Xingyuan had nothing to be nervous about.

“I was just following General Rebil’s orders.”

He said in a humble tone that he would give all the credit, or rather, all the blame, to Rebil.

Gerp, being a shrewd man, immediately understood his meaning. He smiled and looked at the others, teasing them, "Hehe, this guy is a smart one."

The group of bigwigs laughed upon hearing this, and their gazes toward Lin Xingyuan softened—after all, they were all high-ranking officers in the Space Force, and everyone liked soldiers who could fight.

Then Major General Stephen Hepburn took off her glasses to wipe them, and criticized them with a displeased expression.

"However, it's really unfortunate that a fool like Ireland managed to infiltrate our ranks."

"They must have been caught off guard by Mark Bay, so they had no choice but to do that, right?" Admiral Red Tea also looked disgusted.

"Ah, I just received new intelligence about this matter. Ireland has confessed that he was turned by that woman Kycilia Zabi when he was stationed at Side 3, and his rank in Zeon is major."

Kim Collini spoke in a calm tone, but what he said was quite surprising.

"is that so!?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and Lin Xingyuan quickly gleaned the inside story from their conversation and the comments section—Ireland had become Rebil's confidant because his spies had carried out Rebil's rescue plan, thus making a significant contribution. However, this was Kycilia's strategy to infiltrate Ireland into the upper echelons of the Federation.

However, people change. After becoming a high-ranking member of the Federation, Ireland realized that the Zeon army could not win the war and was naturally unwilling to obey Kycilia's orders. But the clever Mark Bay naturally noticed the change in his attitude and used it as leverage—which was actually Kycilia's order—perhaps out of sibling affection, or perhaps to win over the gorilla. After the orbital interception failed, she assigned the task of eliminating the Federation's Black Death to Mark Bay, which led to the fishing operation on Belgrade Night.

Mark Bay didn't expect that the fishing operation, which was supposed to be a sure thing, would fail. So he put all the pressure on Ireland, which is why he made such a basic mistake.

What do you want?

Tianm had no interest in the Irish affair, but instead asked Lin Xingyuan what his purpose was. Lin Xingyuan immediately stepped forward, explained his purpose, and handed over the report.

"Ok?"

Upon opening the report folder, Tianm's expression turned serious, his nasolabial folds deepened, and he exuded an unapproachable and aloof aura.

Lin Xingyuan glanced at his expression and looked at the comments about him in the live chat.

Tiam and Dozru are mirror figures from the One Year War, both renowned as fierce generals, one calm and collected, the other brave and skilled in battle. Their two encounters resulted in one victory and one defeat for each, yet neither was a complete triumph, ultimately leading to their mutual annihilation. This sense of destiny is a uniquely romantic element of war literature.

However, people always like to speculate, and Lin Xingyuan was no exception—Rebil was getting old, and even if he hadn't died on the front lines, he would likely retire from the military soon. Tianm, as one of the few capable officers in the Earth Federation Forces, was the best candidate to succeed Rebil. After the Battle of Solomon, if Tianm hadn't died, Rebil wouldn't have needed to lead the First Fleet to the battlefield to command Star One, and the One Year War would probably have ended under Tianm's leadership. With Tianm's abilities, could he also have suppressed the rise of the Titans or even become their leader?

While the comments section was discussing this possibility, Tianm had already finished reading the report, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed.

"You did a good job."

He offered his concise praise and handed the report to Gop, who, after reading it, praised it again and then gave it to Kim Colliny.

"Oh, Salamis Modified, Special Iron Ball, Mass Production MS, well done. And Captain, I think you're more suited to be a technical officer than an ace. How about it? Interested in staying in Gabro?"

"!?"

Lin Xingyuan's eyes lit up. Ge Pu personally recruited him, so of course he wanted to switch jobs. It would be comfortable and he could also get on the good side. But the comments section immediately objected.

If PL (Player of the Plug and Rat) is stuck in Gabro, wouldn't it turn into a management game? And one where you can't even make any decisions?

We want to see action scenes! Not dialogue scenes!

[What happened to the promised kill of Zabi? GM! RNM! Refund!]

"..."

Lin Xingyuan's fist hardened, but upon careful consideration, he realized that staying in Gabro meant there was nothing he could do. On a smaller scale, people wouldn't want to watch; on a larger scale, he actually wanted to try changing the plot, saving Tianm or Reibir, and ending the endless turmoil in the UC universe as soon as possible. This way, he could retire gracefully, and whether he stayed in this world or returned to his original world, peace would be preferable.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have sworn to avenge the victims, so I still want to stay on the battlefield and defeat those cosmic Nazis with my own hands."

"Hmm, really? Then you better not die."

Ge Pu opened his squinty eyes slightly, not angry at Lin Xingyuan's refusal, but instead offering his blessings. Kim Colliny, after reading the report, also praised Lin Xingyuan, then handed the report to the others.
