Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1113 Goodbye Sergei!
Within the AEU.

Temporary resettlement site.

A vehicle with the A-LAWS logo slowly drove from the road to the entrance of the temporary resettlement site.

The soldier guarding the gate wanted to step forward to intercept the vehicle, but when he saw the A-LAWS logo on the vehicle clearly, he stopped abruptly and no longer tried to intercept the vehicle entering the temporary resettlement site.

Instead, the driver took the initiative to stop the vehicle next to the soldier and handed over his ID.

"Sorry! I'm Lieutenant Andrei Smirnov attached to A-LAWS."

Then he gestured to the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat.

"This is Colonel Sergei Smirnov. We have something to deal with today. Please inform the superior officer here."

Looking at the documents handed over and the other party's introduction, the soldier seemed a little stunned.

But he reacted quickly, stood at attention and saluted, then took the document with both hands and spoke respectfully.

"Please wait for a moment, sirs! I will report immediately."

"please."

Andre saluted back.

So the soldier hurriedly rushed into the guard booth with his ID and reported the news of Andrei and Sergei's arrival.

"You look surprised?"

Sergei looked at his son and asked slowly.

"Yeah. It was a bit unexpected. If I hadn't stopped the car just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stopped our car."

Andre was a little confused.

Although he had already joined A-LAWS, this had never happened before.

Those who need to be inspected still need to be inspected.

The necessary procedures still need to be followed.

But the scene just now made Andre a little concerned.

"This is one of the effects of making the Legion's existence known."

Sergei moved his gaze and fell on the ruins in the other direction of the temporary resettlement site.

After days of cleaning, there is basically not much left in the ruins that is still worth recycling.

In the near future, a construction team mobilized by the federal government will come to deal with the remaining eaves and broken walls on the ruins, and then after the latest assessment results come out, it will be decided whether to rebuild a new city on the original site.

Of course, this is several years, or even a decade later.

Now, the city's survivors are still faced with a dilemma.

Should we leave here and settle in other cities according to the arrangement of the Federation, or should we stay in our hometown and wait for the day when our hometown is rebuilt.

These choices make it difficult for most survivors to make a decision.

"Welcome! Welcome! Colonel Sergei, Lieutenant Andrei. Welcome to both of you! I'm Sam, Captain, the officer in charge here."

The person in charge of the resettlement site, a federal ground forces captain named Sam, ran out of the office with a smile on his face and welcomed Sergei and his son.

"Sorry! We are here today just for some personal matters. I hope we didn't disturb your work."

Sergei didn't want to dwell on it too much and just nodded lightly.

"Yes! I understand."

It was Sam who had contacted Andre to explain the situation of the mother and daughter.

After seeing Andrei and Sergei appear together, he knew what he should do next.

He tactfully asked the soldiers to open the gate and personally showed the way to Sergei and his son.

"Elsa and her mother are over there. Judging from the time, it should be time to distribute lunch."

Captain Sam was quite knowledgeable. While leading the way, he informed the father and son in detail about Aisha's current situation.

Although Sergei's expression was very calm, Captain Sam still saw a look of satisfaction on Andrei's face.

This made Captain Sam feel happy.

Although Sam is higher than Andre in military rank.

But in terms of troop affiliation, Sam is far inferior to Andre.

After all, Andre is already a member of the independent force A-LAWS.

As for himself, poor Captain Sam could only stay in the ground forces and serve as the commander of this small temporary settlement. If he could take this opportunity to catch the "express train" of Sergei Smirnov, the future general known as the "Wild Bear", he would soon stop sitting here and taking care of these survivors, and instead step onto the real battlefield to make achievements.

"Captain Sam. Thank you so much for your help."

"No, no. Helping and rescuing citizens is our duty as soldiers."

Sam spoke with great dignity, but Sergei did not point it out.

As he was walking, Sergei suddenly saw a figure.

"Colonel, what are you doing?"

Sam noticed Sergei pause.

"No. I just saw an old friend. Sorry. I'll be back soon. Andre, can I ask you to take care of Aisha? I'll be there later."

There was a hint of doubt in Andre's eyes, but he nodded anyway.

"Okay! I'll explain it to Aisha."

"Sorry! Captain Sam, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes! Colonel, please rest assured."

Sam didn't suspect anything and thought that Sergei really saw an old friend and chose to leave temporarily.

After all, during this period of time, Captain Sam, who was in charge of this temporary settlement, had a general grasp of the personnel composition of the settlement, and there would be no danger.

After saying goodbye to Andrei and Colonel Sam, Sergei wandered around the resettlement site alone, observing the changes in it.

The situation at the resettlement site has improved slightly since Sergei left.

Along the way, the citizens Sergei saw still looked a little numb, but their complexions were much better than before.

"Instead of going to see that little girl, you come to me. Aren't you afraid that the little girl will be angry?"

Just as Sergei turned around a large tent, a familiar voice was heard.

"I've asked Andre to explain it to me. Elsa is a good and sensible child. She will understand."

Sergei smiled, then found a wooden box nearby, dragged it to the man's side, and sat down on it.

"What brings you here?"

“Of course it’s the A-LAWS trend.”

The person who came was exactly He Ming.

While A-LAWS is still deploying its troops and has not yet launched a crusade, He Ming asks VEDA to cooperate with him and find an opportunity to meet with Sergei to talk about the mastermind behind A-LAWS.

Although Sergei had not been informed before, judging from the current situation, Sergei was cooperating well without being aware of the situation.

"Azadistan?"

Sergei looked around but didn't notice any signs of other people.

"Don't worry! There won't be anyone else around here."

With the cooperation of VEDA, the safety of this safe house hidden in the temporary resettlement site can still be guaranteed.

Sergey nodded.

"Some people in the A-LAWS unit where I am now are also confused by Commander Katagiri's order. Although, on the surface, the chain of evidence presented by Commander Katagiri is very sufficient, I guess there are people in A-LAWS who have a close relationship with Jungen (Katharon)."

"An insider? That's only natural. After all, the first members of Katharon were all elites from all walks of life. The reason they opposed the Federation and A-LAWS was mostly because the Federation did not kill the Legion once and for all, but gave it a chance to revive."

"And A-LAWS is the driving force behind this. I have already found some intelligence. In the past few years, A-LAWS did have several opportunities to severely damage the Legion and push the Legion to destruction again. But at the critical moment, it was disturbed by various accidents and ultimately failed."

“Human interference?”

Sergei understood what He Ming meant.

"Yeah. That's the most likely thing."

"So, my mission is to find out who is behind A-LAWS?"

"No, I have already guessed who the mastermind is. But I lack the key evidence. Because, from my point of view, I can't figure out how the mastermind is connected to the Legion anyway."

Sergei pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Okay! I understand. I will pay attention. I believe that in the next battle, A-LAWS will not let me be too comfortable."

"Okay! I'll leave A-LAWS to you. While you're collecting evidence, you might as well try to win over potential partners who are suitable to become our allies."

"Yes. As you command!"
