Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1199 Encrypted Communications and Divergence Points

"Brigadier General! Major Andre and Lieutenant Shaci are reporting in!"

Under the guidance of Andrei, Shaci came to Sergei's office.

"Well, take a break."

Sergei stood up, put down the documents, raised his hand to return the greeting, and asked the two to relax.

"Yes, sir."

Andre and Shaci responded in unison.

Andrei walked aside and prepared tea in a familiar manner, while handing the space to Shaci and Sergei.

"Lieutenant Sachi. Congratulations on your excellent results!"

Sergei gestured for Shaci to sit down and sat down opposite Shaci to have face-to-face communication with him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brigadier General! This is what I should do."

Shaci responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Since that separation, Sachi has changed a lot.

Even his sister's repeated persuasion could not change his decision. He was determined to join the Earth Federation Army and head to that distant planet.

As a result, the weak and introverted boy gradually transformed into a tough soldier after struggling in the military camp for a period of time.

"Yes. You deserve it, Shaci Crossroad. In fact, the top brass of the Earth Federation Army all know the reason why you joined the Earth Federation Army."

Sergei paused, raised his hand to signal Shaci not to worry, and continued.

"Personally, this is something worthy of praise. If you want to achieve something, you have to be aware and work hard enough. Shaci, after knowing her identity and experience, you still chose to become a member of the Earth Federation Army and tried to go to her planet with your own efforts. I admire this very much."

"Of course. Please don't worry. The top brass of the Earth Federation Army, including me, do not have any hostility towards her. On the contrary, we who know the truth admire her very much. She took on the mission and responsibility that should not have been borne by her with her weak shoulders, and bought that pitiful, but extremely precious time for the Earth and mankind."

"Commodore! Is there something wrong with her?"

At first, Shaci was a little surprised, but also a little confused, but he gradually noticed something wrong from the fluctuations of the brain quantum waves.

"Yeah. I'm getting old, and my words are a bit long-winded."

Sergei smiled and laid out the matter.

"Lieutenant Shaci, our next mission is not to go to Mars for actual combat training, but to support Jupiter after crossing the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter."

"what?!"

Shaci's expression changed.

"Support Jupiter?! Is Louise in danger?"

After making the tea, he brought it to Sergei and Shaci one by one and put it down, Andre responded to the question.

"13 hours ago, the outpost fleet in the orbit of Mars received an encrypted communication from Jupiter. After decryption, we confirmed that this encrypted communication was sent by Louise Halevi."

"Encrypted communication? What did Louise say?"

Shaci gradually felt a palpitation eating away at his heart.

Sergei and Andrei looked at each other, and after Sergei nodded slowly, Andrei spoke again.

"It does not mention the situation on Jupiter, but this encrypted communication is for you, Lieutenant Shaci."

"For me?!"

Shaci stood up suddenly, his expression visibly flustered, without any of the calmness that a reformer should have.

"Major Andre, hand over the encrypted communication to Lieutenant Shaci!"

As a person who has experienced life, Sergei naturally knew that Shaci was probably unable to make any decision now, so he stood up and gave an order, then raised his hand and gently patted Shaci's shoulder.

"Lieutenant Shaci. Stay calm! There are still twenty minutes before the fleet sets sail. I hope you can calm down during this time and follow the fleet to support Louise Halevi."

His expression kept changing, but finally Shaci regained his composure.

However, his eyes were already glowing with golden light.

When the father and son saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

It seems that the relationship between Sachi and Louise is much deeper than the Earth Federation Army leaders expected.

But this is not a bad thing.

In a sense, Shazi Crossroads, who became a transformer, and Louise Halevi, who merged with the ascenders, were each other's insurance.

"Commodore, please allow me to leave first!"

After receiving the encrypted communication from Andre, Shaci directly requested to leave.

"Go! Lieutenant Shaci. I look forward to your performance in the future, and please rest assured. The Federation will not treat unfairly those who have made contributions to mankind and the Earth."

"Yes! Thank you very much!" After watching Shaci leave, Sergei motioned Andrei to sit down.

"Andre, we haven't had a good conversation in a while. What do you think of them?"

Andre sat down, relaxed his body, and nodded.

"Yeah. Generally speaking, these new team members are pretty good. It's just that a few of them still have some ideas in their minds."

As Andre spoke, he pulled up some individual files.

"Dekar Shaman. Was he the only one among the first confirmed Transformer pilots to be awarded the rank of captain? I remember this person."

After taking a look at the contents of the file, Sergei immediately remembered the deeds of this person.

"In terms of MS piloting skills, he is undoubtedly an absolute ace pilot. But in terms of personal character, he is a thorn in the side."

"Before he was confirmed as a Transformer and was recruited, he showed disdain and even discrimination towards the natural people around him. However, after he was recruited and became a member of the first Transformer MS Mobile Corps, his attitude improved slightly. However, the top brass of the Earth Federation Army unanimously agreed that Captain Dekar Sandman was not qualified to be a commander."

Sergei rubbed his nose and felt a headache.

Although this was expected, I didn't expect that the starting point of the disagreement with the natural person would come from within the Earth Federation Army.

"Andre, keep an eye on him, but don't take any action for now. He and the Gadillac he's driving are necessary next."

"Yes! Brigadier General."

Andre responded, then hesitated and continued to ask.

"But, from my recent observations, it seems that some members of the Mobile Corps agree with Dekar Shaman."

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it. Andre, go do other things first! After the fleet attacks, it will be in level 2 combat readiness. The battle will most likely begin after crossing Mars."

"Yes! Brigadier General! Then, please excuse me."

After Andrei left, Sergei stood up and walked to the desk, raised his hand and pressed a button on the desktop.

The next second, a vague wave spread throughout the room, and communication with someone in the distance was established.

"How rare! I didn't expect you to contact me at this time. Sergei."

As the screen lit up, He Ming, who was in Ptolemy II, appeared on the screen.

Sergey nodded slightly.

"There are some necessary things that need to be told."

"Oh? Is it about that mobile corps?"

He Ming showed an interested expression.

"I can't hide it from you. You are worthy of the precognition of a reformer, right?"

"Haha. Sergey, you are now also a member of the Reformers. You should also know what kind of power the Reformers have."

Hearing this, Sergei shook his head, pulled a chair over and sat down, then sighed.

"No. I'm afraid I can't reach your level. The Mobile Corps has undergone an expected change. A divergence point has appeared."

He Ming's expression then became serious.

"who is it?"

"Dekar Sharman."

"It's actually him?"

He Ming was a little surprised when he heard the name.

He Ming originally thought that at this moment when transformers were constantly being confirmed and the Earth Federation Parliament and the Federal Army were also trying to get transformers to participate in the defense against alien invasions, the disagreement between natural humans and transformers should not arise so quickly.

However, no matter how this "butterfly" flaps its wings and stirs up the timeline of this world, the inertia of history will always inadvertently make certain things run along their original trajectory.

"Do you know this person?"

Sergei suddenly remembered that such a person seemed to have appeared in many works in the Gunpla world, but he finally focused his attention on Andre's trajectory and forgot the existence of this person.

"Well, let him be! On the battlefield, this man is a good sword. But in private, it is better to tighten the control. Of course. I am afraid that in the next battle, the reformers may face some changes and influences."

"Okay, I got it! I will make the corresponding arrangements. In addition, the Earth Federation has confirmed the name of the enemy as ELS."

"Just as we know, isn't it? But, next, there should be some deviations from the trajectory we know!"

"No matter what, our goal remains unchanged."

"Yes."

After the communication ended, Sergei restored the room's layout to its original state, then stood up and looked out the slowly opening porthole.

The blue planet is shining brightly under the sun, so beautiful.
