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

Chapter 207 The Bait Has Been Laid
"Turn off the surveillance and recording, and ask everyone else to leave. I have something I want to say to him."

After putting away the information, Eli gave an instruction to Arcadia and prepared to push the door open.

"Captain Woo Wow, please don't mess around."

Without even turning his head, Eli gave Arcadia, who was deliberately making fun of him, the middle finger and entered the interrogation room.

When the person inside saw Eli come in, he just raised his head slightly and then lowered it again.

"There's no point pretending to be listless, Lieutenant Apoli Bay."

Eli sat down on the chair opposite the interrogation chair, and seeing that Apoli still looked nonchalant, he was too lazy to continue pretending that he knew nothing.

"If you're expecting Char to come and save you, forget it."

Apoli raised his head almost immediately and looked at Eli, who was in front of him and whose appearance he had already memorized clearly.

Seeing that this guy remained shocked but still silent, Eli folded his hands.

"Come to think of it, you may not know that the friendship between me and that Char is actually quite deep."

"…I don't understand what you are talking about."

Faced with Eli's words that sounded like a lie, Apoli finally spoke.

What kind of friendship could there be between this Eli and Colonel Char? A friendship that they had fought for all the way?
"Forget it. I can't tell you in detail."

You can't say that you are Xia's brother-in-law.

Eli maintained his actions, intending to make it clear directly.

"So, where is Char now? Apoli in Zeon."

Apoli, who had previously readily explained how he instigated the people, suddenly became a tough guy after hearing Eli's words.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Yeah."

Eli nodded, having anticipated this result.

He took out a terminal, called up a piece of information and placed it in front of Apoli for him to see.

"You who went to Axis may not know that as Onde-Tech we can share the database of the Republic of Zeon. Although a lot of content has been lost in the database, unfortunately your information is still in the database."

Eli swiped the screen, sliding down.

There is a record of active involvement of Apoli until the Battle of Abawakon.

"Those guys who are begging for mercy..."

Apoli said this with some annoyance.

"You can think what you want, but your family is able to survive because of the policies of the Republic of Zeon."

Eli noticed that this guy's family information included his parents and sister.

"..."

"So, stop hiding it and tell me where Char is now. I don't have much respect for someone like you who abandons his family."

"That's impossible. My family understands me because I want people like them to have a better life."

"That's right, but the fact is that everything you, the Principality of Zeon, did led to the current situation."

Eli looked at April calmly.

"Don't flatter yourself here. I admit that there are many mistakes in the ideas of the Principality of Zeon. Colonel Char has also told us so. But even if the Principality of Zeon did not do this, the living conditions of the inhabitants of the universe would still not be much better!"

The interrogation chair was shaking violently.

Apoli was tied to a chair, otherwise he would have been swinging his fist and hitting Eli in the face by now.

"As a fellow resident of the universe, you can see that right here in Side 1 and in the Shangri-La colony satellite, every night it is plunged into complete darkness. Meanwhile, on Earth right now, there are brightly lit places everywhere!"

Apoli roared, and his voice was so loud that the door behind Eli was pushed open. Eli waved to Arcadia who stuck his head in, and asked him to retreat again.

"The top leaders of the Federation don't care about the living conditions of people in the universe at all. They only care about the environment of the Earth and their own enjoyment. Federation soldiers like you are aiding and abetting the evil, helping them maintain such a rule!"

"Oh!"

Eli slammed his hammer down on the steel table.

It hurts.

"Lieutenant Apoli, I think you've strayed from the topic. I was asking you where Char is."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Char Aznable did not return to the Earth Sphere. Only those of us who were not content with the status quo returned."

Apoli gave a mocking smile.

"I see. Unfortunately, I have to consider what to do with Ms. Lala."

"Lala!"

Apoli was obviously startled and tried to stand up, but was restrained by the chair.

Eli stood up and walked towards the door, ignoring Apoli's shouts of "Despicable guy!" and left the place directly.

"And then you let him go?"

"…The AEUG in the colony should be taking action."

"Of course."

Eli felt reassured about Arcadia, who immediately understood what he meant and had made arrangements in advance.

"Let's arrange a transfer in a few days, to the port. If we encounter any danger, let your men prioritize saving themselves, and retreat immediately if they can't hold on any longer."

There are some things that Eli, now the supreme commander of the Onde-Tek fleet, cannot say directly.

But Eli believes Arcadia can do it well.

"Yes!"

Arcadia immediately accepted the order and turned to leave.

"Colonel, here's something for you to sign."

Almost at the same time Arcadia left, another person came to Eli with a document.

"Side 1's request for garrison assistance...will be considered based on the situation."

Isn't this unnecessary? Onde Tek already has troops stationed in Londinho.

Here we need to explain a very important point. The Ande Teke stationed here is in the name of a bandit suppression force. Theoretically, it does not have the responsibility to assist in defense. If an incident occurs, the government of Side 1 will have to ask Ande Teke for help.

If that kind of thing really happened, Eli would naturally not refuse, and would even take the initiative.

But the side1 government will worry about this matter.

They could have ignored it in the past, but after Eli accidentally let slip several times the order issued by General Rebir, they thought about it again and again and finally decided to take the initiative to request for defense.

This is where the advantage of the order, which neither specifies the specific target nor the specific time limit, lies.

After signing, this base on Side 1 was officially transformed into a base for auxiliary defense forces.

"Have the defense forces sent to Side 3 set off?"

"Yes, Captain Ryan has already dispatched with one Magellan-class and three Salamis-class modified ships."

"... Wait until the Alexander-class ships assigned to us arrive and send them over together."
