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

Chapter 229 Acting
Eli didn't even listen carefully to the so-called questioning meeting.

To Eli, the officials' reports went in one ear and out the other.

Until the person sitting at the top finally looked at Eli.

"Colonel Eli Lee, do you have anything else to explain about your private signing of garrison treaties with the various sides, which led to a surge in anti-federation sentiment?"

General Green Wyatt was sitting in the position that should have belonged to General Rebill and said this to Eli.

This is a meeting room. Eli is not staying here as a prisoner. Instead, he is properly dressed in military uniform.

Eli raised his head and looked around, toward the conference room.

In this conference room were members of Green Wyatt's faction, which had been inherited from General Kincolini.

But Eli didn't see Basque.

"I'm sorry, but I am only responsible to General Rebil and General Jamitov regarding the specific situation. Apart from them, I have no obligation to report to anyone else."

Eli answered in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"General Rebil has been ill and is recuperating. Before he left, he handed over all the affairs of Jaburo to me. Is that not possible?"

General Green Wyatt asked this question while sitting in the main seat with his hands crossed and most of his face hidden in the shadows.

In front of him was a cup of freshly brewed black tea.

Under the overhead light behind General Green Wyatt, one could even see the mist rising from the hot black tea.

There is no doubt that this violates the military meeting rules.

However, since there was no camera recording this meeting and no recorder taking notes, the nature of the meeting was already known to everyone.

"This is a nice cup of black tea. It seems to be a special variety grown in the colony satellite. It is a gift from General Jamitov to me."

Noticing that Eli's eyes were focused on the teacup in front of him, Green gently pinched the handle of the cup with his white-gloved hand, brought it to his mouth, blew slightly, and took a sip.

"It tastes pretty good, and can be considered top quality. But it's still far inferior to the tea produced on Earth. That guy Jamitov seems to think so too."

Green suddenly brought up this matter at this time, naturally not to discuss the art of tea tasting with others.

He was conveying a subtle message in this way - your immediate boss, Jamitov, is trying to curry favor with me, so why do you still insist?

I was being used as a tool to attack General Rebil.

There was a hint of realization in Eli's eyes.

In front of this group of generals, a colonel like me is indeed a guy who cannot stand up to the standard.

I'm afraid that the charges that were forcefully brought against me and the private signing of the garrison agreement that led to the rise of anti-federal sentiment were also due to General Rebill's instructions.

This moment of realization was caught by the old foxes in the conference room who were good at manipulating power.

To them, this was a sign that Eli was loosening up.

"Of course, I understand that as a frontline soldier, you cannot refuse orders from above. After all, a soldier's duty is to obey orders."

After Green Wyatt exchanged glances with the generals around him, he spoke again.

"Onder Tek has always been known for its strict military discipline. I think Colonel Eli set an example on the front line and had no time to think about orders from above."

Green Wyatt said this, put down his hands, leaned back slightly on the chair, and assumed a more relaxed posture.

"Colonel Eli, don't worry about this. Just explain the facts you know, and we will carefully implement the specific division of responsibilities."

Such was the guarantee and promise made by General Green Wyatt.

As long as Eli could tell the whole story of his communication with General Rebir, General Green Wyatt could help Eli escape from this reckoning. Yes, in Eli's perception, the people in front of him were already confident of victory.

Eli couldn't think of any other words to describe the situation other than liquidation.

But what about General Tianmu, who was in charge of Luna II? What about General Gao Yun?
How could the parliament allow Green Wyatt to do such a thing when General Rebill still holds a certain amount of power and General Tianm is still young?

In Eli's understanding, Green Wyatt is still the one who has a strong connection with the parliament, and even serves as the parliament's agent in the military.

So something happened in this that Eli didn't understand.

"There's no point in remaining silent."

The clinking of porcelains brought Eli out of his thoughts.

"…I'm sorry, but I am only obliged to report to General Rebil."

"I see. I understand. Then let's first listen to the testimony of another special operations unit, the Titans."

A man pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.

Still not Basque, but Jamaican.

Jamaica, dressed in a black Titans uniform, saluted General Green Wyatt who was sitting in the main seat, then opened the folder in his hand and began to report.

The content basically links Onde-Tek's recent actions with the rise of anti-Federation sentiment in the universe.

Never mention what they did to Titans.

"We even found traces of Zeon remnants active in Side 3, the first side signed by Onde Tech."

"Colonel Eli, is this true?"

After listening to Jamaica's report, Green nodded seriously, and then asked Eli a question with a serious look on his face.

"Of course not."

Eli looked at Green Wyatt almost fearlessly.

"Is that so? Then I will research it carefully. Now please go down first."

After Green Wyatt finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the military police standing on both sides of Eli to take Eli away.

"General!"

Eli suddenly shouted when the two military police on his left and right touched him.

He exerted a little force to break free from the two gendarmes' light grip and stood upright.

“What does the general think of the federal government?”

General Green Wyatt and the other generals of varying sizes sitting on both sides of the long table looked at each other, not understanding why Eli asked such a question.

However, considering that Eli might change his mind after answering, Green still expressed his own opinion.

"The federal government is undoubtedly the greatest government mankind has ever seen, and I should maintain its existence no matter what."

Green chose the style of play that would be least likely to go wrong.

But this could not hide his true thoughts from Eli.

He is just a guy who takes advantage of the federal system for personal gain. He is closer to a politician than a soldier.
