Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2006: Full of Mysteries!

"There are strange metal structures inside Axis?!"

After Amuro and Char (Valley) reunited with their allies, their reports were passed on to Rebil and Heming.

Seeing that most of the devices and turrets that could be found on the outer wall of Axis had been cleared away, He Ming also led Amuro back to port ahead of schedule and met with Rebil on the fleet flagship Alexander-class space battleship Goldland.

In addition, Char (Valley) also rushed over from the Argama.

Looking at the photos taken by the two with their miniature cameras, Rebil frowned deeply. After a while, he finally turned his gaze to He Ming.

"Colonel Ming, I'd like to know your thoughts."

Rebil couldn't make many guesses based solely on that strange metal building.

After all, these photos were the only valid clues they had.

"I'm afraid this is the result of joining forces with the Death Vanguard."

After thinking for a while, He Ming had already formed some ideas in his mind.

Char Aznabul's purpose in Neo Zeon is not difficult to understand.

Aside from his obsession with fighting Amuro Ray, his entire modus operandi revolves around using Neo Zeon's forces to hurl rocks at Earth.

The true purpose of Death Vanguard and Ironface is somewhat obscure.

On the surface, he seems to be raising the banner of nobility to purge humanity from the old era and create a new world with the righteousness of aristocracy. But behind the scenes, the Iron Mask faction is using this bright banner of righteousness to secretly carry out a terrifying plan to completely annihilate all of humanity on Earth.

The plan was not carried out by a human army, but by the machine bugs that Ironface had high hopes for, namely the mass-produced unmanned automatic killing weapon known as Buck.

Recalling the Buckybug from his memory and comparing it with the metal building in the photo, He Ming could not find any similarity between the two.

However, with the involvement of the Ghostfaces, it is highly likely that the Ironfaces have obtained some technologies that they are not yet aware of, and that they will use these technologies to improve the Buckbug.

"Colonel Ming."

Rebil nodded slightly to He Ming, encouraging him to speak freely and not to worry about taking responsibility for saying the wrong thing.

He Ming had never worried about this; he was only thinking about how to share the information he knew with his partners.

"I'm afraid this is a killing weapon developed specifically for humans, and it could potentially be lethal to armored targets, mobile suits, and even warships."

He Ming pointed to the metal building in the photo and slowly expressed his thoughts.

"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid these metal structures, no, the entire interior of Axis, will become the lair of these killing weapons."

"What?! Really?"

Rebil was startled, and his expression grew even more serious.

"If Colonel Ming's speculation is true, and the interior of Axis has been transformed into a scene filled with these metal buildings, then the core strength of Axis has probably exceeded our initial expectations."

Reibill paused for a moment, then explained the various plans that followed.

Among these plans is the classic scheme of having engineering units, under the cover of MS forces, infiltrate Axis to install nuclear weapons and carry out the demolition.

However, if Axis is filled with those automated killing machines, sending the engineering corps on a mission would be like throwing lambs to the slaughter.

Amuro and Char (Yakuya) exchanged a glance, and the latter hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to make a suggestion.

"Colonel Ming, General, I have another idea. I know a way to get to the core area of ​​Axis. If we plant a nuclear bomb there, we should be able to shatter Axis. Even if Axis is already occupied by these metal structures, it will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed."

"No. This method is not feasible."

Knowing the characteristics of the Buckbug, He Ming immediately rejected Xia (Yugu)'s suggestion. "Captain Xia, if my guess is correct, to manufacture a large number of automated killing weapons, a sufficiently large amount of energy is required. And the core area, which is the heart of Axis's energy, has probably already been occupied and modified by the enemy."

"Sending someone there under these circumstances is tantamount to sending them to their deaths!"

He Ming paused, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.

"Besides, the way we look so gloomy is probably exactly what they want to see."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

A gleam of admiration flashed in Rebil's eyes.

"Should we stir up trouble?"

"Yes. Char Aznable, the commander-in-chief of Neo Zeon, probably has that in mind. He wants us to urge Gryps to launch a new attack on Axis as soon as possible."

He Ming stretched out his finger and pointed to Axis on the tactical map.

After He Ming personally led the team to clean up the outer wall of Axis, all exposed energy shield devices have been basically removed.

Logically speaking, Axis has lost the protection of its energy shield.

At this point, Grips's colony cannons would certainly pose a threat to him.

"Unexpectedly, just when the dawn was about to break, the other side raised their hand and threw out a cloud of mist."

Rebil snorted coldly, a strong fighting spirit rising in his eyes.

"But so what! Send the order! Inform Djamitov about the situation here via laser communication, and let him handle it himself! If he cowers because of the enemy's invasion, then we'll have to take care of destroying Axis ourselves!"

"Yes! General!"

The first mate, who was standing guard, immediately received the order to contact Grips.

"Colonel Ming, Colonel Amuro, Captain Char, let's continue the operation!"

"Yes! General."

Despite it being just speculation, Rebil still placed a great deal of trust in it.

He not only ordered someone to contact Djamitov and demand that he speed up the next round of attacks from the colony satellites, but also mobilized reserves to prepare for a timely response should the situation change drastically.

"Char."

As Char (the Valley) was preparing to return to the Argama, Amuro suddenly called out to him.

"Is there something you need, Captain Amuro?"

Char (Yakuya) reached out and pressed against the wall to steady his body as it flew forward, then looked at Amuro who was catching up.

"Yes. There are some things."

Amuro seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Captain Amuro, are you worried that I'll get involved in your fight with him?"

"Yes, I'm a little worried. I've learned some things from my partner."

Amuro nodded.

“You can’t stop it. Because this is also a duel between him and me. After all, he’s also eyeing Lala Sheen, my Lala Sheen!”
