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

This has provided the possibility for launching a counter-offensive from October to November, but if the current mutiny problem cannot be solved, Rebir will have to worry about whether the stalemate on the front can be maintained.

"Today, I visited several barracks where mutinies occurred and met with some representatives of the soldiers' unions. I have summarized their demands published on various social media and official posts and put them here for everyone to see. look."

Admiral Rebeer, who got on and off the plane continuously today and visited multiple mutiny sites for inspection, opened the report PPT compiled by his secretary and staff.

Ray Bill dragged the control bar up and down and glanced at the thumbnails on the left; until a few minutes before he walked into the conference room, the report was still being updated, and even now there are his trusted Army officers, still negotiating on the front line with the mutinous troops.

'The work is quite exquisite. They probably used AI assistance... Technology nowadays is really changing with each passing day. '

Rebel himself, who has worked his way up from a low-level officer to the present, has an understanding of the difficulty of this type of work. After all, he did it a lot when he was young, especially since he only talked about it in the morning and then had a meeting in the afternoon. When necessary.

"Huh? Chief of General Staff Ray Bill, are you in a hurry to start the meeting without waiting for everyone to come? There are still a few minutes left."

"No need to wait, everyone is already here——"

Rebir watched with interest the many changes in expressions on Admiral Airland's face, which were initially unclear, then suddenly enlightened and finally turned into disbelief, before continuing:

"—— Lieutenant General Werner and other 53 officers above the school level have been suspended from service due to malfeasance and corruption. The Federal Prime Minister and the Security Council have approved their suspension and are under investigation."

These words obviously stirred up countless undercurrents in the conference room. The generals present who didn't care much at first couldn't help but look left and right, wondering whose seats were empty, but Ray Bill did not let their shock subside. time, and said one after another:

"This is also the first point I want to discuss next. The mutinous soldiers protested against the poor living standards in the military camps. They were not allowed to bring their own camp mattresses and even personal daily necessities, but they had to buy them at high prices at their own expense. Even many weapon accessories cost the soldiers money." advanced,"

Admiral Ray Bill paused for a moment and said angrily in a voice close to a growl:

"It is simply intolerable for something like this to happen in the federal army!"

But even so, it still took a lot of effort for Rebir to kick dozens of senior federal army officials into suspension pending review, and he also had to rely on negative public influence to convince the current prime minister——

As for the relevant evidence that was painstakingly collected and compiled, it became the icing on the cake.

"Are you exaggerating a little too much?"

Admiral Ireland, who had subconsciously entered a defensive posture, turned his face slightly and glanced at a series of photos of the terrible environment of the barracks displayed on the big screen in the conference room;

"It is inevitable that the newly recruited soldiers are somewhat spoiled and will not adapt to military life; as for the private profit-making behavior of some junior officers, it is not enough to justify the soldiers' mutiny."

"'Some', huh——"

Ray Bill shook his head, but did not continue to dwell on this issue, and continued to turn the report to the next chapter; the problems of corruption and the withholding of soldiers' benefits and supplies can be said to be the best to solve.

"——The newly mobilized conscripts are only willing to fight to defend their hometown and refuse to participate in the subsequent counterattack unless they can receive the same treatment as standing professional soldiers, including the right to reside on Earth for themselves and their families in the future."

Seeing this, even General Ireland just sneered and said nothing more. After all, this was no longer something that could be solved within the federal army.

You must know that at the beginning of the war, the Earth Federation was building the seventh colonial group, Side 2, on Luna 7. The designed population is the same as that of several other colonial groups, all 7 billion, except for a small part that is expected to be reserved for other Side new Growing population -

Most of the rest are still reserved for current residents of the earth, and the class distribution of the people is also highly similar to those currently being drafted into the army to fight.

In other words, many of the people who are currently bleeding and fighting for the earth on the battlefield were originally secretly booked by the federal government to be packed and sent to space.

As for the construction of new colonial groups, the sale of land, and the disposal of real estate left by these new immigrants on the earth, there are even assembly line-like procedures within the Earth federal government to carve up every profit margin generated therein;

Due to the stagnation of the federal space development project, this assembly line has not been open for almost 30 years.

Rebel's expression remained unchanged, and he did not care about the suspicious eyes of the generals. He continued reading. The report was still very long;

For example, it requires that “in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices caused by commanders’ incompetence, any military action plan should be reviewed by soldiers who bear corresponding combat risks before implementation”;

There is also "the belief that the bidding process should be carried out by voting by soldiers, that is, people who really want to use various weapons and equipment," and so on.

"So, how do you plan to solve these problems? After all, the time for the original mainland counterattack plan is not far away. If it is a plan to return to North America, it has already started."

Looking at Admiral Ray Bill's seemingly endless problem reports, Admiral Ireland finally couldn't help but speak.

"Are there many questions?"

Hearing this, Ray Bill stopped and looked around the conference room;

"I didn't know there could be so many problems, and they were all exposed in such a very dishonorable way. Do you all understand?"

"Soldiers from multiple military camps in many places can communicate and connect together, are ready to seize weapons and live ammunition, are ready to publicize on social media, and even purchased push notifications in advance, but none of us can do this Express alertness.”

Ray Bill himself said, and his heart started to get a little angry; although the buried gunpowder is composed of many factors such as policy and economy, in the military's gunpowder depot, which should be strictly managed, there should not be any sparks big enough to that ignites these issues.

Originally, according to Rebel's judgment, the bureaucracy of the federal army may lead to corruption, but it should not reach the point of incompetence. But now it seems that some people's personal hostility towards Rebel has even reached the point of harming the people tied behind Rebel. , to the point where it affects the combat operations of the entire federal war situation.

"But things have happened. What can we do now is not only try to avoid the damage from expanding? We also hope to end this disgraceful incident as soon as possible."

"Then it's best if I can work together, but I still want to say that I will naturally solve the incident, but we still have to prevent the same problem from happening again next time."

Rebel said categorically at the head of the conference table;

"The problem this time was triggered before our army counterattacked. The Zeon army currently does not have the ability to launch a large-scale offensive. So what if it happened earlier during the Zeon army's offensive? What if it happened later and our army had already launched a large-scale offensive? During the counterattack?"

"Then we might become prisoners of war of the Zeon army."

At least Raibil's report was very detailed and convincing, and the pragmatic generals began to echo Raibil's words.

……

At the same time, in Europe, in the federal army barracks where mutiny broke out in the Marseille area, General Rebier's multiple problem solutions were already being implemented.

"It's useless for you to try to separate us. I know your usual tricks, but our demands will not..."

Second Lieutenant Moran's impassioned words were stuck. In this small, isolated office, he was originally prepared to face a sophisticated negotiator, or a senior man who seemed frank and friendly, but was actually a sweet talker. officer--

But what walked in was a slender girl with pale golden eyes and long black hair.

'Wait, no...' Lieutenant Moran focused his attention, staring at those eyes, the tiny and precise lenses disguised as pupils, and the pale and flawless complexion;

"Lieutenant, I'm here to help you solve your problem."

The black-haired girl said.

"Bionic robot...who is controlling you? Do you think that a nice-looking skin can make me change my opinion?"

"You know more than I expected—"

The girl did not respond to Lieutenant Moran's question, but just pulled out her chair and sat across from Lieutenant Moran.

"——But it doesn't matter. My name is Dandelai. I don't mean to change your mind. Or, before that, maybe we can communicate and clarify your thoughts first?"

"Ask the 'human' behind you to come face to face with me; talking to a machine makes me feel stupid."

"Don't be like this, Second Lieutenant, you have your job, and I have my mission; to be honest, I don't want to chat with a little guy like you here."

Dandelai had no intention of being considerate and tolerant at all. He glanced at Second Lieutenant Moran, who was fully prepared for confrontation, and stopped looking at him. Instead, he brought a tray of tea sets in front of him from the small table beside him.

Chapter 65: The vast world (3)

"Can you still drink tea?"

Lieutenant Moran looked on with a little surprise. Dandelai picked up the teapot, opened the lid, and took a look inside. When he saw that there was no heat coming out, he shook his head in disappointment;

"I can also use my tongue to identify hundreds of teas from different origins and cooking methods... Hehe, it's all wasted if you don't drink it at all. I'll get a pot of hot tea."

Second Lieutenant Moran watched inexplicably as the black-haired girl swayed out of the door as if she had just arrived; he also picked up the teapot and looked at it with some confusion.

The tea was cold, but it was not too cold to drink. However, when Lieutenant Moran thought about the robot who called himself Dandelai just now and asked for a pot of hot tea, he hesitated.

"Then let's wait for her."

Second Lieutenant Moran stuck to his heart and began to pass the time by reciting in his mind many of the key points of the counter-interrogation and the goals of this mutiny.

This small talking room has no windows, the walls are specially made, and the sound insulation effect is very good. Once the door is closed, Lieutenant Moran can only hear his own heartbeat and breathing, as well as the regular pattern of the exhaust fan that seems to be lubricated. , a crunching sound every few seconds.

If he had been fully prepared for a confrontational conversation when he first came, he wouldn't have noticed anything at all, and he would have just been prepared for possible cross-examination and coercion; but when Dandelai's brief entry and exit was interrupted, he now No matter what, I can't get back to that state of calmness.

Now, from time to time, strange thoughts pop up in Second Lieutenant Moran’s mind:

'When trying to conduct separate interrogations against the enemy... I know that the appearance of current robots can be so lifelike, but the movements can also be so smooth... No, no, our goal is to have the military's top brass protect frontline soldiers...'

'...It's been a few minutes, why hasn't she come back...Wait, calm down, let me think about it carefully, if I, as a representative, have been locked up here, my fellow brethren will probably...'

Through the one-way glass, Dandelai watched the expressions of the mutinous troop representatives in a dozen small rooms. Some were indifferent, some began to become anxious, and some had already started shouting in the room, trying to protest;

Several other experts drawn from the police and nearby federal intelligence agencies were also on the sidelines, observing Dandelay's performance and recording something.

Due to the urgent situation and lack of manpower, and not all experts are good at face-to-face communication, Dandelai was brought here after getting permission from Admiral Ray Bill, who allowed her to play as she pleased.

Although it has not yet been made public, the emergence of the highly versatile Ogas system has indeed brought a glimmer of hope to many R&D projects in related fields that have slow progress or even stagnated. Therefore, many project teams with channels have secretly Get a copy and train on your own -

For example, Dandelai is the Ogas system that the federal intelligence agency has trained in intensive psychology and micro-expression science based on a large number of interrogation videos and psychiatrist consultation records obtained through various channels; the federal intelligence agency hopes to be able to A 'big data mind reading' created.

In the selection of the body, a special body that is more human-like is also used, which can perform tasks such as simulating expressions through micro-movements of the facial electronic muscles, chewing and swallowing (of course it cannot be digested, and the chyme needs to be poured out before it deteriorates. out) and more action.

Dandelai opened the door again and walked into the room where Second Lieutenant Moran was. He saw that the young second lieutenant showed a very brief secret of joy in his eyes as expected, and then pretended not to care again and said:

"why is it you again?"

Dandelai not only brought hot tea, but also brought a plate of cookies and placed them in front of Lieutenant Moran's table.

"No one else is busy, so I have to take over to receive you - well, I got this from those policemen. Their mobile tea room is quite complete... Chew Chew"

"Police, you mobilized the local police to deal with us?"

With his hand already halfway on the cookie plate, Lieutenant Moran suddenly heard unexpected information and his eyes widened.

"It wasn't us who mobilized you, but you made such a big fuss here and even used guns. The accounts on online social platforms that publish information that disrupts public order have also been targeted at you. Even our federal police would not encounter this situation. You can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

"Well……"

Lieutenant Moran frowned, feeling a little uneasy, recalling in his mind the discussion at the tandem the night before the mutiny began;

'Encourage recruits to kidnap senior officers of their units, rely on camps not far from the city and surrounded by residential areas, block roads, and ensure that no troops within the range can arrive in time to suppress them. At the same time, they strive for social recognition through the Internet and amplify the incident... …'

'The police's weapons and equipment shouldn't be enough to force a breakthrough...'

After all, this is a recruit training camp within a federally controlled area. The only weapons and ammunition used are those used for live ammunition training. There are no artillery and various land combat vehicles——

Technical arms such as artillery and armor must be recruited more strictly, with better treatment, and a higher proportion of officers and non-commissioned officers. They cannot unite with infantry like them.

"Don't worry, the police are just out of duty to put up a few blockades on the street. It is definitely best to resolve it peacefully. Let's talk about it. Have you ever imagined how the situation will end? Or do you really plan to occupy the barracks and become king on your own? "

Dandelai picked up the tea cup, put it under his nose and smelled it, covering the corners of his slightly raised mouth.

Most of the people who caused the mutiny and riots were this group of conscripts who were further mobilized to join the army in July and August. Basically, they had no service experience and had never received any military training. In other words, they were not reserve forces or reservists, but pure recruits;

The counteroffensive originally scheduled for October and November was actually not expected to be the main force. If the federal army wanted to take the initiative to launch an offensive, it would be short of manpower. It must have enough troops to fill the front that was stretched by the offensive.

The composition of the personnel includes this year's college graduates, as well as some men of working age, including those who have participated in organizing trade unions, plus a group of young people who have just stepped out of the ivory tower and are about to go to the battlefield——

This year, the retention and graduation rates of colleges and universities across the federation have all broken records, but this still does not affect the federal recruitment department's recruitment of personnel through various means.

If someone is deliberately conniving, it is not surprising that they can cause trouble, but the challenge of solving them is limited to making the method appropriate enough and how to control the subsequent impact.

Apart from anything else, the daily meals in this barracks are all prepared dishes delivered by the catering company that contracts the canteen. There is no food reserve in the barracks. After a few days of being surrounded, the recruits themselves will die out.

"Our request is..."

At this time, Second Lieutenant Moran, who had been ignored by Dandelai for a long time, finally realized the mission he shouldered. He seized the opportunity and began to make demands incessantly, regardless of whether he was facing people or machines;

Dandelai just listened half-heartedly, taking a sip of tea and nibbling a small piece of biscuit from time to time, letting Second Lieutenant Moran talk, with a hint of anger in his tone:

"...the soldier representatives will inspect the accounts of the troops' meals and daily rations...Hey, are you listening to me carefully?"

"The angry young officer could not deal with his real enemy, so he could only vent his anger on the poor innocent girl, and the miserable girl would have to continue talking to other representatives for a while... ugh."

Dandelai read in a calm and calm tone, and at the end he pretended to sob a few times without emotion, which made Second Lieutenant Moran feel a little at a loss, and his words began to become garbled:

"It's so fake... No, it's not. At this time, shouldn't you listen to me carefully and then express empathy in a timely manner to gain trust... No, aren't you a robot?"

"Well - tell me, what do you see now?"

Dandelai rested her arm on her head and pressed her head on the table. A few strands of long black hair fell messily in front of her shoulders. The black-haired girl tilted her head and pointed at herself. With a hint of cookie crumbs.

'You can see me, you can hear me, you can even smell me because the body's artificial skin has been soaked in special perfume, and now you want to use the image of an imaginary evil robot to deny what you have seen and heard. '

'Even when human beings look at their own reflection in the mirror, they sometimes feel strange and even scared. Can you keep paying attention to the subtle differences between the physical body and real humans? '

"..." Lieutenant Moran turned his eyes slightly and suddenly felt that the room seemed a little hot.

"You're just kidding - of course I listened carefully. If you don't believe me, I can repeat the request you just made. Do you want to listen to it forward or backward?"

"No... no need, that's right. Your memory is equivalent to audio and video... Where did I say it?"

"Well...if it's no different from the demands you made public on the Internet, I'll say it for you."

"You know and still ask me?"

"I thought I could hear some different appeals. After all, Second Lieutenant Moran, you have received military academy training and are a regular commissioned officer."

Dandelai said seemingly casually.
