Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

If there is anything about the girl's body that has something to do with the Federation Space Force, probably the only thing left is the collar in the shape of the Space Force emblem lying on the foot of the mountain on her chest.

"Marco Polo... what the hell, where is Dr. Parson? Can't you ask him to change the image of the Ogas system? I think the square icon is pretty good... If the friendly forces continue like this, how will the public view the image of our space army?" Kan General Ning'an raised one side of his big-brimmed hat, scratched his head, and looked around the circle at the girl who claimed to be Marco Polo.

"Commander, their navy did some anthropomorphic battleships 100 years ago. It has become a tradition now. This is no longer unusual."

"Yes, yes, Marco Polo, search out their federal navy recruitment posters from the past two years and show them to the commander. There are those, the two-thorned ape kind."

You are only a two-spined ape, and your whole family is a two-spined ape. Marco Polo, who kept a smile on his face, scolded directly at the back end; yes, Marco Polo, the dark blue-haired girl in maid uniform in front of him, is Ogas who was After being installed on the battleship Marco Polo, it was generated as a mental model of the battleship's incarnation.

As for why the image is a girl in a maid outfit, this is of course an operation of unknown meaning performed by Dr. Parsons - it seems to be to find a seemingly reasonable explanation for Ogas' performance far exceeding that of other artificial intelligence models. Or simply to maintain his image as a technical genius with an eccentric temperament, Dr. Parsons made many bizarre requests when Ogas created the avatar, and also plausibly said:

"This is all so that the Ogas system can maintain highly realistic human-like behavior and strengthen its obedience to humans." This frightened the officers of the Federal Space Force who were familiar with the field of artificial intelligence. Stunned for a moment.

But the good thing is that Ogas can behave more like a human when he is the battleship Marco Polo - even if it is just a projection, Ogas has regained a human-like 'body', which can have expressions and movements; otherwise Trapped behind the screen day after day, pretending to be a guest and chatting with others, Ogas himself sometimes wondered whether the memory of his previous life was just a dream generated in his training database.

Stop, Ogas immediately stopped this thought process; questions like 'Who am I' will have no consequences except causing a sudden high memory usage to attract attention.

"Ah, I found it. Major Eden, is this what you are talking about?" At a time when there was no electromagnetic environmental pollution in space caused by large-scale rice particle walks, Luna 2 was still connected to the entire earth sphere through the Internet.

Marco Polo was still in the mood to make a few comments when he posted a recruitment poster for the Federation's Space Force that he had taken from someone outside the Internet to the big screen in the Operations Information Room. He said, "Hi~ Such a small waist, how can the Federation's military uniforms be cut like this?" ?There are friendly forces in this propaganda department. '

The girl in the poster, or the ship girl?Yes, it is the kind that has a serious ship decoration, and the ship decoration is extremely exquisite. According to some comments on the Internet, a high-precision model of the Himalayan-class aircraft carrier was specially built for the painter's reference;

The character of the girl herself is also very attractive: the short-sleeved navy summer uniform on the upper body is so short that the poster retains the all-age rating. Two plump arcs can be vaguely seen under the shirt that is raised while jumping;

The artist put a lot of effort into portraying the lower abdomen exposed in the middle. The white abdominal line disappears and appears, rises and falls, and draws across the delicate belly button toward the lower abdomen; the faint waistcoat lines on both sides maintain the overall slenderness of the girl. While having a soft and cute figure, it also adds a three-dimensional effect with a slight bulge in the belly, and finally extends downward until it is about to converge at the groin, which is covered by a short skirt full of youthful vitality.

The girl made a 'V' sign and stared at the person in front of the poster, as if to say: "The Federal Navy needs you!"

"[British expletive], how did the Federation's navy become like this!" General Cunningham, who is said to have had many naval officers from his ancestors, looked full of grief and indignation.

"But I heard that the federal navy's recruitment quota directly exceeded double that quarter."

"But the people recruited through such publicity don't look like they can actually fight?"

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the combat information room solidified instantly.

After a while, Major Albert was the first to break the silence.

"Commander, including the sudden cancellation of vacation this year, the combat troops have stepped up their alert. Is this what is going to happen?" Albert turned his chair and looked at Major General Cunningham seriously. Although he never doubted that the Federal Space Force was against Ji Duke Weng had an overwhelming strength advantage, but anxiety and uneasiness could almost overflow from his eyes.

The big shots at the Gabro Base, the headquarters of the Federal Army, protected by the thick rock formations, were full of confidence in the outcome of the war. They really had no worries. After all, for them, the final victory was guaranteed. How much the Federal Army had lost in the process? It doesn't matter at all - as many manpower as the federation needs.They only need to stay in the safety of Gabro Fortress, chat and laugh, wait for Zeon to be wiped out, and when the war is about to end, they will come out to show off and take credit for the victory.

"I'm not sure." Major General Cunningham turned his head slightly, avoiding Albert's gaze.

"But if these actions can ultimately scare some people's ambitions and make them dare not act rashly, then it will be more than worth it."

Chapter 7: Dark clouds over the city (3)

Major Albert, who was serving as the gunnery chief on the experimental battleship at this time, was not the only one who was unhappy because of the Federal Space Force's Order No. 78 in 144. Even the GreenWyatt Space Force on the other side of the lunar orbit was unhappy. The same goes for Lieutenant General.

As the commander of the 3rd Fleet of the Federation Space Force, he can be said to control one of the largest fleets in the entire Earth Circle - ever since Side 3 declared its independence and expelled the Federation garrison, the 3rd Fleet has integrated the original Side 3 garrison fleet. The garrison fleet of the dark side cities of the Moon, headed by Granada, and the 3rd Mobile Fleet serve as the front line in the stalemate between the Federation Space Force and the Zeon Republic/Principality.

The size of the entire fleet has always been based on the number of fleets that can overwhelm the Principality of Zeon. Yes, even if it is just one of the many fleets of the Federation Space Force, the 3rd Fleet has always maintained a numerical advantage over the Principality of Zeon. : Up to 30 Magellan-class battleships, and more than 100 Salamis-class cruisers, as well as others including Lepanto-class guided missile frigates, Republic-class assault boats, particle dispersal ships, minelayers, and minesweepers Waiting for more than 200 military ships.

This ensures that even in recent years, the Principality of Zeon's space fleet, mainly composed of Chivvay-class heavy cruisers and Musai-class light cruisers, has been expanding like a balloon, and has even built a single-ship combat ship that is said to be powerful. The Gwakin-class battleship, which can surpass the Magellan-class, is still under the shadow of the dual advantages of quantity and quality of the Federation Space Force.

At the same time, the Federal Space Force's 1st and 2nd Mobile Fleets, personally commanded by Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ray Bill, are stationed on Luna 2, Vice Admiral Tiam's 4th Mobile Fleet is stationed in low earth orbit, and the 5th Fleet is stationed in Latvia. Grange Point L4 (Side 2 Side 6), the 6th Fleet is stationed at Lagrange Point L5 (Side 1 Side 4), the 7th Fleet is stationed at the lunar city Von Braun, the 8th Fleet is stationed at L1 (Side 5)...

This adds up to at least five times the combat power of Zeon. How could the Pseudo-Zeon Principality have the courage to attack a stone with an egg?

As for the news that the pseudo-Zeon Principality has begun mobilizing for all-out war, I'm afraid it's just a smoke bomb to obtain more generous conditions from the Federation at the negotiation table. Such an obvious sexual desire can actually make the Federation Space Force Headquarters okay. Issuing a combat readiness order out of trouble seems as if our space army is still afraid of the Zeons.

This is a very common idea among the Federal Space Force, represented by Lieutenant General Green White.

Although as the lieutenant general leading the sole army, he has the privilege to ignore such orders and continue his planned vacation back to the surface of the earth without being reprimanded - rather, he is not the same person who is in charge of Luna 2. Federal Space Force Commander Ray Bill belongs to a faction, and GeneColiny, Chief of Staff of the Space Force who is stationed in Gabro, the headquarters of the South American Federation Army, is his ally.

But now that the entire 3rd Fleet is fully prepared for combat, if he continues his vacation alone, then I'm afraid he won't even think about raising his head in front of his subordinates in the future - he, Green White, is also a person who wants to save face to some extent.

"Hmph, doing something like this to enhance other people's ambitions really disgraces the reputation of our Federal Space Force. I'm afraid there's a traitor in the Fleet Headquarters!"

Sitting on the flagship of the 3rd Fleet, the Magellan-class USS Hood, Lieutenant General Green White seemed to be looking for a punching bag to vent his dissatisfaction. His sharp eyes were like a knife, shaving over the staff and operators on the bridge.

This attitude of obvious dissatisfaction with the headquarters above made the lieutenants and captains on the bridge dare not breathe, for fear that they and Lieutenant General White would look at each other and be picked up to "express their loyalty."Lieutenant generals can talk about this kind of thing. If they spread the word, they may lose hope of promotion in their lifetime.

At this time, the captain of the Hood, Colonel Kanamori, who was standing next to Lieutenant General White, wiped his cold sweat; he knew that if no one took over at this time, the result would only be more ugly.

"Commander, I think this Side 3 won't last long. The bosses probably want us to prepare for this final kick, and give you the honor of knocking down this shabby house of the Pseudo Zeon Principality."

Colonel Kanamori's words successfully diverted Lieutenant General White's attention from the Space Force headquarters to the Principality of Zeon.

"Oh, Zeon, it's really hard for them to find time and money to mess around with their toy fleet. The few resources they smuggled out are just a useless empty space. It’s just a shell; I heard that the Side3 colony was originally planned to accommodate only 8 million people?”

"Yes, Commander, Zeon has also established its own Jupiter fleet and asteroid resource development plan, but many types of resources, such as various rare metals, rare earth elements and petrochemical products, are subject to our federal economic sanctions. Due to the restrictions, their technologies in metal smelting, radar electronics, etc. are probably far inferior to ours..." Colonel Kanamori echoed cautiously.

Seeing that Lieutenant General White's mood seemed to have calmed down, the officers on the bridge all gestured with their thumbs out of Lieutenant General White's sight.

"…and Side 8, which was originally planned to accommodate 3 million people, may now be crowded with more than 13 billion people due to the influx of immigrants from other Sides after independence. The livability level is probably the lowest among all Sides in the entire Earth Circle. of."

"Those space residents still want to run to Side 3?" Lieutenant General White became interested.

"In the years since Degwin Zabi took over and the name was renamed the principality, there have been very few immigrants; the immigrants who came forward were probably those who were promoted by Zeon as 'freedom from federal exploitation'. They were deceived by the 'independent space resident country' and mistakenly thought it was paradise."

"Haha, I mistakenly thought it was paradise. In fact, when I went there, I realized that without the supervision of the federation and the protection of our space army, Side 3 is just a hell on earth under the rule of a monoman who has reverted to the feudal system? These residents of the universe , It’s really ridiculous.” Vice Admiral White looked at the Side 3 universe from the viewing window of the bridge with a mocking look on his face.

In that space, dozens of cylindrical colonies with a length of 30km and a diameter of more than 6km float quietly in the void; the closed appearance that is completely different from other colonies seems to be hiding something and suppressing something.

"I heard that people in the intelligence department have been funding the anti-Zabi organization within Side 3 in recent years. With such a militant approach, the rule of the Zabi family must have been shaky long ago. It is just relying on strict internal control. The repressive methods are barely maintained.”

Colonel Kanamori followed Lieutenant General White's words and completely changed the subject to contempt for the Principality of Zeon and the inhabitants of the universe.

"Well, doesn't the headquarters want us to be on guard and scare Zeon? Let's just go bigger and arrange an extra New Year's parade over Granada, and then organize a live-fire exercise to give these colonies It’s an eye-opener!”

Lieutenant General White decided to let the residents of the universe see the majesty of the federal giant ship's cannon.

Chapter 8: Dark clouds over the city (End)

January 0079.1.1, 2 (UC [-]), the universe near Luna [-].

What the hell, Marco Polo looked confused; this was the fifth day since she started her trial voyage. From her perspective, everything seemed to be still following the established route, heading towards a bleak future where the war in the universe century would continue.In the past few days, she tried her best to promote the various acceptance tests of the battleship, striving to become familiar with the use of this "body" as soon as possible, just to be more confident in the upcoming humiliating defeats of the Federal Space Force. Get some life.

Then the thinking thread responsible for following the official accounts of the Federation Army and major government departments in real time noticed that the official water management account of the Federation Space Force had just released new news:

'A certain fleet of the Federal Space Force will hold a large-scale ship review in near-lunar orbit during the New Year, and will subsequently conduct a joint live-fire exercise. In order to ensure the safety of lives and property of federal citizens, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, a fleet will be held in The following lunar areas and space areas are on alert and blocked...'

Ship review?

I traveled to 0083 again! ?

"Commander Cunningham, the latest news is that the Federal Space Force has announced that it will hold a large-scale ship review and exercise in near-lunar orbit. Does this have anything to do with us?" Marco Polo asked without understanding and displayed the exercise notice on the information screen. .

"Ship review? Where? Near-lunar orbit? Hmm... it sounds like something that guy White can do..." Rear Admiral Cunningham shook his head, trying to wake himself up.To be honest, these days I said I was here to supervise the acceptance work of the Marco Polo and find out the strength of this experimental warship that was about to join my fleet. But basically from the first day, I had nothing to do but be on the ship. The consensus of a dozen officers.

The reason is simple. As an automatic battleship controlled by artificial intelligence, Marco Polo is fully capable of completing all acceptance projects on its own and generating corresponding summary reports. All the officers on the ship have to do is eat well and sleep well every day. It is just a confirmation of signature when Marco Polo prompts a certain acceptance project to be completed.General Cunningham even felt a subtle sense of guilt about being a salary thief during these days.

"...It is said to be a certain fleet, but only Green White's 3rd Fleet has the ability to organize joint exercises near the moon. In this case, it has nothing to do with us."

Seeing that Cunningham had no intention of continuing, Marco Polo tilted his head slightly, his long dark blue straight hair sliding to one side, and his scarlet eyes naturally showed doubts.

Everyone on the ship was not surprised by Marco Polo's highly realistic demeanor, which was almost indistinguishable from humans.Major Eden, who was also on duty and was bored, took over the conversation.

"It doesn't matter if you tell Marco Polo about this kind of thing, Commander, there are 'anti-Rebil faction' and 'non-anti-Rebil faction'."

"I didn't even know there was such a faction name." Major General Cunningham held his forehead with a headache; after getting along with Marco Polo these days, he felt as if he was teaching an obedient and studious child, but In other words, isn’t Marco Polo, who was just a few days old, just a child who only learned about the world from various limited databases?

Therefore, he has an inexplicable sense of responsibility, that is, to show the good and beautiful side of human beings to Marco Polo as much as possible, even if Marco Polo is actually a weapon created by humans for killing.

Marco Polo folded his hands on his lower abdomen and stood obediently to the side; in the past few days, she had indeed been insinuating information from all the humans she could come into contact with.The main reason is that in her understanding, Mobile Suit Gundam, as a TV animation that was first broadcast in 1979, has been perfected at the setting level after decades of countless official and unofficial ones that were later recruited. , supplements, adaptations and readings, the world view has been changing with the development of the times - especially projects that are relatively late in time like the Thunder Universe or the Gundam Origins series (GTO), they can be regarded as parallel re-interpretations. world to see.

What she wants to do now is to confirm which world line she is on in order to have a more accurate prediction of the future. However, judging from the current ship review, Marco Polo feels that her efforts seem to be in vain - although I don’t know if it can lead to a better future, but the world line has changed to an unknown direction.

Seeing that Major General Cunningham did not stop him explicitly, Major Eden continued: "Federal Space Force General Ray Bill, you know that, right?"

"I know that General Ray Bill is the fleet commander-in-chief of the Federal Space Force and General Cunningham's boss. From what I know, he has a pretty good opinion of him."

"Then you should also know that General Ray Bill is actually from the Federal Army, right?" (Note 1)

This is the first time I have heard of it. Should I say that it is a world view created by the Japanese?This familiar conflict between land and sea is just scratching the surface, Marco Polo thought at the back end. (Note 2)

"I don't have permission to access General Rebir's personal files, but if you search with this keyword, you can indeed get many relevant rumors."

Major Eden snapped his fingers, "That's right. During the expansion of the Federal Space Force in the 60s, it was said that elite officers and soldiers were drawn from the navy, land and air force, but in fact the air force could only go to the space fighter force, and the army's arrival The officers stationed in each colony and the battleship force as the core of the Space Force are almost without exception from the naval system."

"Is General Ray Bill the 'almost'?"

"That's right, the Space Force was originally regarded as an extension of the Navy. The big guys in the Navy were very dissatisfied with General Ray Bill, who was born in the Army but became the commander-in-chief of the fleet." Major Eden stood up and raised his head. He put his hands behind his neck, made an arrogant but funny face, and chanted at the top of his voice: "A spaceship is also a ship, and if it is a ship, it should be controlled by the Navy."

"Being from the army, but being able to achieve this level, there must be a lot of merit in General Raybil, right?"

Major Eden wanted to continue, but...

"Enough," Major General Cunningham suddenly interrupted the conversation, "Marco Polo, you don't need to care about factional struggles among humans at all. With your ability, no matter who you are under, you will be taken seriously."

That's not necessarily the case. Marco Polo secretly complained that by UC 0083, both the 'MS' faction and the 'Battleship' faction would be able to bring the GP project to the point of extinction; she could guess that the word 'artificial intelligence', in some people's eyes, In his eyes, it might be the same thing as 'Skynet', 'Terminator' and the like, the kind that is ready to destroy mankind at every turn.

"I understand, I will try my best to meet your expectations of me."

-

At the same time, on the other side of the moon's orbit, Side 3, somewhere in the Principality of Zeon.

"Can the news be confirmed?"

"No problem, the federal army is so arrogant that they published the exact time and location of the fleet assembly on the Internet, just in time to catch them all!"

Chapter 9: The Darkest Hour (1)

"...Just enough to catch them all."

This is the capital of Side3, Zum City; unlike most of the closed colonial satellites in Side3 that are so densely populated that they are comparable to Beijing’s Tiantongyuan in the old days, Zum City’s internal space appears to be particularly generous—elegant bungalows are dotted here and there. Among the green plants of the European-style garden, close to the administrative office area in the center of the city, and surrounded by rows of government buildings, is the palace of the Zabi family, the heart of the Principality of Zeon.

Even the most avant-garde artist may have difficulty appreciating this palace: the entire palace is like a rockery made of jagged and strange rocks, and the five spiers on it seem to be claws stretching toward the sky, making people admire it from a distance. It makes you feel uncomfortable wherever you look at it. It is no wonder that it is called the "Devil King's Palace" among the opponents of the Zabi family.

It was here that the magic box called 'war', which had been sealed away by humans for nearly a hundred years, was opened.

-

January 0079.1.3, Year [-] of the Universe (UC [-]), in the universe near the city of Granada on the dark side of the moon.

Lieutenant General Green White can be said to be very satisfied these past two days. In his own opinion, this time he fiercely hit back at the difficulties coming from the Federal Space Force Fleet Command controlled by the annoying Ray Bill: Around the entire moon, L4, L5, L1, and the garrison fleet of the lunar city Von Brown all responded to his invitation and sent some warships to accept the review and participate in subsequent exercises, which fully demonstrated the influence of their naval officers - -The usual annual ship review in the past will only be held near Luna 2 at the Space Force headquarters.

As for taking the opportunity to attack the Principality of Zeon in Side 3, which had recently crossed some lines, it was just a matter of convenience. It just happened to stop the mouths of those worried cowards in the headquarters. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone and turn a disadvantage into an advantage.

It was exactly [-]:[-] in the morning, and the federal fleet expected to participate in the review had already begun to gather in formation. The tail flames of the thermonuclear rockets on the warships extended into the endless deep space, like twinkling stars, but even more... Strict and orderly.

Seeing such a grand scene, Lieutenant General White felt that the recent gloom had been swept away. He couldn't help but pick up the walkie-talkie and cleared his throat:

"Ahem... The 60th year of the universe is a turbulent year, and it is also the year that the Federal Space Force and we officially stand at the center of the historical stage. Facing new challenges and new opportunities in the new era, the Federal Space Force accepts the challenges and seizes the opportunities. , after overcoming countless difficulties, it has been almost 20 years since the prosperity and stability of the Earth's sphere have been maintained..."

Since it is a recent key publicity project of the Federation Space Force, Lieutenant General White's speech was not only heard in the inspected fleet, but was also broadcast live to all parts of the Earth's circle, including the Marco Polo, which was still on trial near Luna 2.

In order to cater to the atmosphere, today's Marco Polo's officer's mess provided popcorn, and Rear Admiral Cunningham simply asked Marco Polo to continue to complete the final debugging of various systems of the warship in the background, while all the officers and soldiers on the ship, plus the technicians on the ship, Let’s sit together in front of the big screen in the lounge to watch the parade.

"The guys in the third ship... Chew Chew... fleet... Chew Chew... have done a good job in scheduling."

Major Eden grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate it while talking.

Major Albert gently squeezed the wine glass with three fingers and took a sip of wine. It is an old tradition inherited from the navy to store wine on battleships. Of course, drinking is not allowed during combat. "Well, I heard that this entire ship review was decided on the spur of the moment. The 3rd Fleet announced it first, which made the headquarters publicity department quickly follow up the announcement and confirm the situation. It was really embarrassing. .”

Lieutenant General White’s speech continued on the screen:

"...And today, we can hold such a grand space battleship review celebration here, which can be said to be a reflection of peace and stability in the earth's circle! And all of this is thanks to... Zi Zi... Generation after generation... Zi Zi …Zi”

The picture during the live broadcast suddenly began to be distorted, and interference points like snowflakes appeared all over the screen.

"Marco Polo, what's going on?" asked General Cunningham, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle.

"The possibility of a malfunction of the signal receiving facilities on the ship has been ruled out. There is a high probability that signal interference occurred at the ship review site."

The pretty figure of the girl appeared from the side of the screen; of course Marco Polo guessed what was going on. Who knew that Green White, who would not appear in the original OVA animation until 0083, would happen to be in the Principality of Zeon? Just before the war was about to start, something like this happened.

There is no doubt that the combat concentration of rice particles interferes with walking, but the military leader of the Principality of Zeon, Kilian Zabi, who is also the eldest son of Prince Dejin of Zeon, seems to have not started his declaration of war speech yet?
