Gundam UC Hunting Time

Having fought so many battles, Lin Xingyuan had developed a keen eye. Seeing that the Federation forces had actually deployed their warships within the Zeon forces' artillery range, he couldn't help but feel a chill for the large-scale warships below.

"Because it was General Rebil who personally commanded it."

Anita's tone was full of admiration—she had just spoken with the large pallet-class aircraft in the cockpit of the transport plane.

"So that was the Patton?"

Lin Xingyuan wanted to criticize Rebil's audacity, but then he thought that perhaps this was also his helpless move—when casualties were heavy and equipment was inferior, it was the most effective way to boost morale for generals to go to the front line in person.

Soon, the transport plane landed amidst a cloud of dust. Lin Xingyuan piloted the black Ground Gundam out of the plane and moved under the camouflage net. As soon as he opened the hatch, he was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the French military and civilians—the black-painted Ground Gundam was so conspicuous that everyone knew "Black Reaper" had arrived as soon as they saw it.

Lin Xingyuan was overwhelmed by the flowers, applause, and cheers. Someone even suddenly leaned in and kissed him, which startled him so much that he almost jumped back into the cockpit—he didn't want a man's kiss at all!

"Major, how's it going in France?"

After the crowd finally dispersed, a familiar voice rang out from the side. Lin Xingyuan turned his head and immediately saw Rachel Milstein's charming and beautiful face.

"Very good, it would be even more perfect if that welcoming kiss came from a beautiful woman."

Lin Xingyuan joked with a smile, and Rachel laughed happily as well.

"That's easy."

She stepped forward and hugged Lin Xingyuan, planting a kiss on his cheek, then blinked and asked:

How about this French etiquette?

"When you think of French kissing, isn't it all about deep kisses?"

Lin Xingyuan continued to joke, but Rachel was not intimidated at all.

"If you're willing to marry me, it's not something I can't consider."

A chorus of wails erupted around them; countless hearts shattered. Fearing they might secretly disconnect the cables from their machines, Lin Xingyuan immediately said solemnly:

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my unrestrained and free-spirited life."

Rachel was secretly annoyed and immediately turned to glare at the 'admirers'. At this moment, the rest of the Delta team had also finished receiving the mechs and gathered around to greet Lin Xingyuan.

"Major, thank you so much for escorting us! We will definitely pilot these machines well!"

Matt Healy remained as serious as ever, while the girls in Delta's team were much more enthusiastic in comparison.

"Long time no see! Captain, no, Major!" Noel Anderson looked up at Lin Xingyuan excitedly, speaking fluently: "I've read every one of your combat reports, and the various tactics you summarized have benefited me greatly, especially the use of drones and fiber optic cables, they're simply brilliant..."

"That's enough, I have a lot of questions to ask too."

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet."

Anne Brevigne was a little annoyed, but she couldn't outmaneuver the talkative Noel.

Seeing Lin Xingyuan surrounded by the Delta team girls, his teammates Shirley Page, Lilith Aiden, and Anita all frowned and looked rather grim.

Doris emerged from the cockpit, saw the expressions on the three people's faces, and couldn't help but smirk mischievously as she urged them:

"Come on, girls! Time's running out. If you dawdle any longer, someone else might snatch your captain position!"

Please support me.

Regarding Rey and Kruze, and whether Prea is a Coordinator, I tend to think they were adjusted during the cloning process, since they directly took over ZAFT's mobile suits, while Mu couldn't. Otherwise, without a special OS, how could a normal Natural rise to the top in ZAFT, where everyone is a Coordinator, be considered a hero, and even help a senator raise a child?

This is purely for discussion.

Chapter 151 Did I offend you by being born smart?

On August 19, UC0079, at dinner time, Rebil summoned Lin Xingyuan and his party aboard the large-scale warship.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have much to offer you on this front line. Please sit down."

Accompanied by his adjutant, Rebil entered the restaurant. He gestured for Lin Xingyuan and the others who were saluting to take their seats, while he himself sat in the main seat opposite Lin Xingyuan.

The large-scale attendants quickly served dinner, one plate for each person, containing fish, meat, vegetables, and the indispensable French baguette—but as Rebil said, for his position, the meal was hardly lavish.

"Not at all, I'm already very grateful to be able to eat this at the front."

Lin Xingyuan said modestly, while the rest of the team didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Rebil laughed: "That's certainly true. Everyone should thank General Gup."

General Plywood truly lived up to his reputation. With the Federation forces suffering repeated defeats, he held Gabro to the death, devoting all his energy to logistical support and laying a solid foundation for the future counter-offensive. Throughout the entire One Year War, he never let a single frontline soldier go hungry; even isolated units like the White Base, used as bait, received necessary supplies. As an admiral, he didn't have any particularly outstanding battle achievements, but Rebil was able to focus on fighting without any worries, entirely thanks to the unwavering support of Gop.

"Yes."

As a mid-to-low-ranking officer, Lin Xingyuan could not freely comment on a general, but without a doubt, Gop was the most reliable "big brother" in his mind.

Rebil then praised Lin Xingyuan's team for their successful hunt for Karma. He was a typical soldier, not saying any high-sounding empty words, but even so, the team members were flattered.

"It's all thanks to your keen insight and strategic planning. Without your authorization, we could never have achieved such results with just four MS."

Lin Xingyuan was able to get an S rating, so he naturally had to thank Reibil for his support.

"Everything is for the purpose of ending the war as soon as possible."

Rebil smiled and changed the subject, mentioning Djamitov: "Djamitov mentioned his conversation with you to me. He greatly admires your vision and ideas, and I also think they make a lot of sense. The future ultimately belongs to you young people. If we cannot thoroughly cleanse Zeon and awaken the misled young people from their extreme ideologies, the war will never truly end."

"You're right."

Lin Xingyuan nodded in agreement, and at that moment, the barrage of comments in his field of vision refreshed with new content.

This was the only point of contention between Gop and Reibir—Reibir advocated for a complete purge, while Gop believed in stopping short of it, which is why he did not support Djamitov.

[This time, I'm on Reibir's side! It's because the purge wasn't thorough that the remnants were able to continue operating until UC 0093.]

However, the rise of Zeon is driven by the space inhabitants' desire for independence and resistance against oppression; a complete purge would only provoke a stronger backlash.

Come on, the fact that the remnants were able to keep going until 93 is simply because someone within the Federation military was harboring traitors for personal gain.

The online debate raged on, with Lin Xingyuan leaning towards supporting Rebil's purge proposal—wasn't the Delaz Rebellion the best example of an incomplete purge? If Rebil had survived and his suggestions had been adopted to thoroughly reform the laid-off Zeon prisoners, the number of remnants would have been significantly reduced.

Suddenly, a roar like a train whistling through the air came from outside—it was the sound of a large-caliber artillery shell cutting through the air!

Unaware of any danger, Lin Xingyuan remained seated, but the others in the restaurant panicked instantly. Some rushed to warn him, and Shirley Page even assumed a standard defensive stance, crouching down with her hands on her head.

"General! Danger!"

Rebil's guards tensed up, but thankfully the shells landed quickly and did not hit the large-scale tank, which relieved everyone.

Lin Xingyuan looked at Rebil and, seeing him still leisurely eating his dinner, couldn't help but admire him. Rebil then looked up at him, and seeing his lack of tension, suddenly smiled:

"Is this the power of the new humans?"

"Yes." Lin Xingyuan nodded, then asked with interest, "How did you determine that the shell wouldn't hit?"

"Judging from the sound, if the shell lands on a large plate, the sound of the shell flying will be completely different. In addition, the garrison position I chose was calculated based on the data of the heavy artillery equipped by the Zeon army, which is a blind spot that cannot be directly hit."

"I see, you are truly experienced."

Lin Xingyuan suddenly realized, but Rebil continued with a rather emotional tone:

"But I have accumulated half a lifetime of experience, while the new humans can do it just by intuition. If this is the direction of human evolution, then it is really worth looking forward to."

[The new humans are not omnipotent; perhaps they are merely a tragic variant of humanity, born from war—by Char Aznable]

The sudden appearance of this comment startled Lin Xingyuan, just as Rebil asked again:

"Major, I remember you said before that Newtypes wouldn't appear this early. Now that you've awakened as a Newtype, do you still hold that view?"

"Perhaps we are not truly new humans, but merely a tragic variant of humanity born from war," Lin Xingyuan said, reading aloud the words from the live chat.

"team leader!?"

The team members were listening intently to the conversation between the two, and upon hearing this, they all looked at Lin Xingyuan in surprise.

Rebil stopped wielding his knife, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, saying:

"...Perhaps that is indeed the case. However, I personally remain optimistic that this may be a manifestation of human evolution—after all, we Homo sapiens also evolved in the struggle for survival."

These words, spoken by Rebil, carry a chilling undertone—they might even suggest that the new humans will eventually replace the old humans, just as Homo sapiens exterminated other species! If this gets out, it will inevitably be over-interpreted by those with ulterior motives, equating the birth of the new humans with racial competition in human history, thus triggering a large-scale attack against them!

In fact, Kycilia of Zeon had already been making such preparations in secret!

Those who extremely admire the new humans, or even who are themselves the new humans—such as Sirocco and Haman—will certainly apply the history of Homo sapiens' extinction of other human races to the new humans, providing a theoretical basis for the extreme ideology of "new humans first"!

Doris, Alice, and Rebil's adjutant—all intelligent people—were instantly taken aback. Fortunately, Lin Xingyuan was perceptive and quick-witted, immediately trying to smooth things over:

"Evolution is a holistic process, and I believe you also possess the qualifications to become a new kind of human."

With a simple sentence, he prevented Rebil's remarks from being over-interpreted as "genocide" and pulled the new humans back from the level of "the possibility of human evolution"—Lin Xingyuan was extremely grateful for his increased IQ at this moment, and the barrage comments were full of likes!

"Really? You're not just saying nice things to flatter this old man, are you?"

Rebil gave Lin Xingyuan a deep look, then chuckled and teased him. Lin Xingyuan replied earnestly:

“Absolutely true. If I really am the kind of new human being you're talking about, then this is how I truly feel.”

Indeed, Reibir later awakened Newtype abilities, but it was too late by the fatal blast from the beam cannon.

"Haha, that's something to look forward to."

"Report, General Reibir! The Zeon army has launched another attack, and it looks like they're trying to break out!"

The restaurant's communicator suddenly lit up; it was an emergency report from the captain of the large-scale ship.

"Oh dear, they won't even give me a chance to have a proper chat." Rebil wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up, and smiled at Lin Xingyuan and the others, "You guys continue eating, I'm going to handle military affairs. It was a pleasure chatting with the young people, let's continue another time."

Lin Xingyuan and the others quickly stood up and watched General Rebil stride away.

Lin Xingyuan and the others stood up and watched General Rebil leave. But they didn't stay to continue their meal—the generals were all out giving orders, and they couldn't appear too relaxed.

After quickly finishing their food, the group left the large platter and sped towards the mech base. However, while in the car, Lin Xingyuan felt that his subordinates were all spying on him.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

He remembered wiping his mouth. The men exchanged glances, and finally Mira spoke.

"I think you are really born smart."

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with genuine admiration, including Doris.

These words sounded familiar, and Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Did I offend you by being born smart?"

Chapter 152 What You Fear Is What Happens

The cannon fire never stopped, and despite not receiving orders to launch an attack, Lin Xingyuan and his men remained on standby inside their mechs.

"They flew all this way, and now they have to stay up all night on standby, treating people like cattle... Will the Zeon army really come?"

Perhaps feeling that her 'true colors' had been exposed, Doris's complaints about slacking off became blatant.

Lin Xingyuan: "Maybe."

"Is this also the intuition of the new humans?"

"Shirley Page suddenly asked."

"Just take it that way," Lin Xingyuan said with a smile. "Besides, I'm here, if they don't show some appreciation, wouldn't that be disrespecting the Black Reaper?"

This statement had a somewhat boastful tone, but Shirley and Paige all believed it, their weariness vanished, and they all became serious.

Then Lin Xingyuan received a private message from Lilith.
