Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Our purpose as celestial beings is to eradicate war from the world..."

At the People's Revolutionary Alliance military base in Ceylon, Wang Ye stared at the old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle on the television screen on the wall.

Listen to him on television proclaiming himself to the world, and the ideology of their organization called Celestial Being.

"Teacher, is this the only thing you called about?"

Wang Ye reached for the remote control, chuckled, and turned off the noisy television, a strange smile appearing on his face.

The smile held a hint of mockery, as if the speaker had heard some absurd, fantastical statement and was caught between laughter and tears.

"When working, you should refer to your job title, Wang Ye."

As soon as Wang Ye turned off the TV, a dignified and reserved voice came from the red landline on the table, which was on speakerphone.

Just hearing that voice and tone, Wang Ye could almost picture the face of his refined and gentle yet authoritative teacher.

"Yes, student was wrong. General Gao, please give instructions."

Wang Ye's face still held a relaxed expression, but his tone instantly became calm and steady. At the same time, he stood up from his chair and answered respectfully.

"You are my most promising student."

General Gao on the other end of the phone kept saying that one should address others by their titles at work, but when it came to his own…

Wang Ye, who was standing ramrod straight, couldn't help but mutter to himself: "General Gao, please address me as Major Wang Ye."

Of course, this was just Wang Ye's own thought. After all, no matter what, General Gao was his teacher and his greatest resource in the army.

Just as Wang Ye was thinking about these random things, General Gao on the phone continued:

"According to the General Staff's predictions, the next target of the Celestial Being organization is most likely to be Ceylon, which you are stationed on."

"After all, they probably wouldn't dare to touch UNION, and attacking the loose and insignificant AEU again wouldn't make much sense."

"Therefore, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier."

"The student understands and thanks General Gao for the instructions."

After listening to General Gao's instructions, Wang Ye put his feet together, making a crisp sound, and bowed his head slightly.

Even if he wasn't in front of General Gao, the subtle sound of this gesture would surely make the person on the other end of the phone feel his respect.

Sure enough, the red landline clearly picked up the sound, allowing General Gao on the other end of the line to immediately picture Wang Ye's appearance.

General Gao, who was in an office at the headquarters of the People's Revolutionary Army, said with a gratified smile.

"Don't be so reserved. I've said before, you're my most promising student, so..."

General Gao didn't finish his sentence. He was sure Wang Ye would understand, so he changed the subject and started talking about something else.

"Also, the theoretical conjecture about a certain particle that you submitted after graduation has been verified by a Russian scientist in the Equipment Department."

"I must say, you always manage to surprise me."

"But as you also know, due to the previous agreement within the gravitational sphere to ban atomic energy, the military's development and application of this particle is currently in a contradictory state."

"I understand, General Gao. Agreements must be respected."

While Wang Ye expressed his understanding, his expression clearly showed that he didn't take the so-called agreement to heart.

Moreover, he was confident that the military's top brass would eventually agree to develop this particle, perhaps even right now in some secret laboratory in space.

His particle theory has already been transformed into a practical product, and all that's left is for Celestial Being's Gundam to put enough pressure on them!

Wang Ye chuckled silently, filled with anticipation for that day to arrive.

"Whether or not the particles are ultimately developed, your contribution will be recorded."

It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, although General Gao was not the biological father of Wang Ye, who was born an orphan.

But as his teacher, General Gao clearly knew him very well.

Sitting at his desk, General Gao gave a soft instruction.

"Understood, General Gao."

Wang Ye nodded, ready to end the call.

Although the encrypted channel signal of the landline phone would not be interfered with, Wang Ye, who had been keeping an eye on the interference detector, had already seen the snow-like noise appearing on the screen after the radar was interfered with.

He calculated the time and knew it was time for those celestial beings to come and "visit".

"By the way, General Gao, who was that Russian scientist who proved my particle hypothesis?"

Just as he was about to hang up, Wang Ye asked curiously.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone; General Gao was clearly considering whether to reveal the scientist's name.

"Torenov".

Finally, General Gao uttered the name that greatly surprised Wang Ye.

"He really wants to see you, and even thinks that appointing such an outstanding talent as a military officer is a serious waste of talent."

"Have you considered transferring to a research unit?"

Since the matter had been brought up to this point, General Gao took the opportunity to convey Torenov's invitation.

General Gao, who was a professor at a military academy, had high hopes for his disciple, who was both literate and skilled in martial arts.

There's no other reason than that this child looks exactly like me when I was young!

He firmly believes that his prized student will achieve equally remarkable success after transferring to the scientific research system.

He will later transfer back to the active duty military and become a military commander who is as capable in both civil and military affairs as himself!

They walked almost the same path as themselves.

"That conjecture was just something I came up with by chance. I can't sit still and do theoretical research all day."

Wang Ye shook his head, directly rejecting his mentor's suggestion, and then hung up the phone decisively.

The moment the call ended, the door to Wang Ye's office, as the supreme commander of the Ceylon base, was suddenly pushed open.

"Major, they're here! They're here!"

Wei Meng, a burly man from the north, rushed in as his adjutant, shouting loudly.

"I know."

Wang Ye nodded to Wei Meng, who was eager to get started, then picked up the military cap on the table and put it on.

Since arriving in this second world and confirming that this is the world of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Wang Ye has been preparing for this day for far too long.

After all, no matter how powerful these Gundams are.

Could it possibly be more difficult to deal with than the invincible luck that sent him to another world back then?

You see, in the previous world...

Wang Ye learned a lot from Amuro, Char, and Camus.

After all, humans are never afraid of learning, hard work, or difficulties, but they are terrified of unrewarded efforts and the unknown.

But I am different. As long as I want to learn, I will definitely be able to learn it well!

"Pass down the order: execute according to the pre-arranged plan."

"The face that Sergei the Siberian bear lost will be won back by our People's Revolutionary Union's troops stationed on Ceylon!"

"Furthermore, let those Celestial pilots see for themselves that the difference in MS performance is never the sole factor determining victory or defeat on the battlefield!"

"Yes, Major!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Meng nodded vigorously. This burly northern man, as resolute as a rock, followed closely behind Wang Ye as they walked out.
