Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Warmth of the Iron Giant

On the edge of a war-torn city in Australia, the white battleship HMS Chaser lies quietly anchored atop the devastated ruins.

The difficult reconstruction work is going on here, and although the Earth Federation is gradually organizing the revitalization of the city, the shadow of war still hangs over this land like a ghost.

The ruins are full of traces of war. The charred skeletons of buildings are like the bones of a giant beast, silently telling of the tragedy of the past. The once prosperous streets are now only rubble, and scattered green plants are growing tenaciously in the ruins, as if telling of the unyielding life.

The faces of the residents were filled with fatigue and numbness. The eyes of the women holding their children were empty, as if they had lost hope; the eyes of the young people were dull, as if they were still immersed in the nightmare of war. The air was filled with a lingering smell of gunpowder, mixed with the smell of soil and dust, which reminded people all the time of the catastrophe that had happened here.

A large number of crew members disembarked from the White Chasing Horse warship to participate in the local reconstruction work, carrying supplies and providing much-needed assistance to the local area.

Among all these, the most interesting thing is the mobile suits operating in the ruins of the city.
However, this MS, which was originally a killing machine, has now removed all its weapons and is helping to clean up the large pieces of debris in the ruins.

Arcadia also led a team to participate in the reconstruction work. This was not the first time they had "meddled in other people's affairs".

Now is the gap in the mission, and every time they see such a tragic scene, they can never remain indifferent. Even though they know that such actions may have little effect, they still choose to stay and do their part.

A ragged little girl, holding a broken teddy bear in her arms, staggered to Eli. She looked up at Eli with her big eyes full of doubt and worry, and asked timidly: "Big brother, is the war really over? Will everyone come back?"

Eli took a deep breath, feeling the oppression of his lungs filled with hot air. He squatted down, gently picked up the little girl, tried to force a smile, and said softly: "Yes, little friend, the war is over. There will be no more wars in the future."

His voice was gentle and firm, but his heart was in pain. This little girl lost her parents in the war, and such tragic stories are everywhere here. As soldiers of the Earth Federation, they can only witness these tragic scenes but can do nothing at this moment.

As night fell, Arcadia and Eli leaned against a broken wall to take a short rest. Arcadia squatted on the ground, holding a cigarette, staring blankly into the distance. Eli held a half-full bottle of wine, looking up at the starry sky, his eyes blurred.

"Arcadia," Eli spoke softly, with a hint of fatigue and confusion in his voice, "Do you think what we do is really useful?" Arcadia took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, and was silent for a moment before answering: "It is useful, of course it is useful. Every time we help someone, we bring hope to the world. Although..." His voice gradually became smaller and finally turned into a sigh.

The two men fell into deep thought, and began to explore the nature of war and reflect on the complexity of human nature. They thought about what they could do as soldiers and ordinary people for this scarred world and for the people who suffered here.

Late at night, in Eli's room on the White Chasing Horse, a document called [Fund Rescue Plan] lay quietly on the table. Eli stared at the plan, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He still had a lot of money and owned some shares of the Eight States Company. Would it be a good idea to cash in these assets and use them to set up a foundation to help those who were displaced and whose families were broken up by the war?
He was lost in thought and fell asleep before he knew it. After a while, a head poked its head in. It was Ryan, Eli's subordinate. He took the plan from Eli, who was sleeping soundly, with his gentle movements.

In a hidden corner outside, Sandas, Io, Arcadia and other crew members had gathered there. Everyone looked at each other, with tacit understanding and determination in their eyes. "Then, let's complete this plan together." Someone whispered.

So, everyone took turns to sign their names at the end of the plan. Arcadia took the plan full of handwriting, tiptoed back to Eli's room, and carefully put it back to its original place.

Not long after, another figure quietly appeared at the door of Eli's room. It was Captain Paul of the White Chaser. He looked at Eli, who had fallen asleep without a blanket, and gently took out a blanket and covered him carefully. Before leaving, he also signed his name at the end of the plan.

Paul stood in front of the window of the bridge, looking at the vast starry sky. He murmured to himself, "I am so old, I can't even compare to these kids. But, this is the person that Rebil recognized, right? This is the future of the Federation. We old guys have to work harder." He suddenly laughed, "I have already handed over the captain's shift, or else that kid Huaken will also... Haha!" A hearty laugh rang out on the bridge.

Eli slept very soundly. When the first rays of morning light shone into the room through the glass of the battleship, a few lines of words were clearly visible on the plan on the table:
【Onder Tech Rescue Foundation】Project

This plan carries everyone's expectations and determination, as if heralding the arrival of a new era. Although the surroundings are still in ruins, the seeds of hope have been quietly sown and will eventually take root and sprout in this land of suffering and bloom into brilliant flowers.

　This is a storyline written by a reader. I think it is really well written. It reminds me of the picture of the little girl waving at Lu Ji on the Southeast Asian front.
