Gundam 00: Rise of China

The military plane landed smoothly on the runway of the airport where the United People's Revolutionary Army (UPA) troops were stationed on Ceylon Island.

Having bid farewell to his mentor on the mainland and successfully returned from his duty report at the military headquarters, Wang Ye just stepped off the gangway.

Suddenly, a humid, hot sea breeze swept over me, carrying with it a salty, fishy smell and the lingering scent of gunpowder.

Looking up, Wang Ye glanced at the base tower that still stood in the distance, feeling a sense of peace in addition to a clear plan for the future.

After all, isn't there an old saying that goes like this?

There's no place like home.

The top brass of the local military and General Gao are in a game of chess with the world as their chessboard.

He is both a pawn and a game-changer, which sounds good, but those who are in control not only bring pressure to the enemy, but also bring great shock to themselves.

But Ceylon is different, here...

Wang Ye is the true ruler and the sole will of this world.

Moreover, Moralia's trip was fraught with uncertainty, and the turmoil in Taliban was unfathomable.

Before setting off, Wang Ye felt he had to make proper arrangements for his base camp.

"Major, you're back."

As Wang Ye pondered his own chess game, he walked out of the airport terminal.

Soon a military off-road vehicle pulled up quickly, and the driver saluted respectfully before opening the car door.

Seeing this, Wang Ye nodded and got in, and the SUV then drove towards the base command post.

Along the way, soldiers who saw Wang Ye's vehicle would all stop and salute, their eyes filled with heartfelt respect.

It is this young major who led them to defeat the invincible Gundam with Iron Man and defend Ceylon Island.

They also preserved the honor of all of them!

We didn't let them become a laughing stock like the Tianzhu Guard Team!

Looking at his subordinates who revered him, Wang Ye nodded slightly in greeting, while at the same time he was making personnel arrangements in his mind.

Wei Meng followed him in his campaigns, loyal and capable, making him his most trusted deputy.

Wei Meng will definitely volunteer for this mission in Taliban.

However, Wang Ye did not intend to take him with him. Ceylon Island needed an absolutely reliable and loyal person to be in charge, and Wei Meng was undoubtedly the best candidate.

As for who would accompany the team to Taliban, after much deliberation, Wang Ye favored the local Ceylon native.

The leader of the Iron Man squad who once faced off against Setsuna's Gundam Exia.

The older man was brave and fearless, a man who had fought his way out of the hellish island of Ceylon. Given his experiences, he and the little devil Setsuna had the potential to have a good chat.

Undoubtedly, he is more suited to the chaotic battlefields of Taliban than the conventional Wei Meng.

Just as Wang Ye was pondering, the off-road vehicle carrying him drove into the base and came to a steady stop in front of the command center building.

Smiling, Wang Ye declined the orderly's help and strode into the building.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of his office, Wang Ye saw a familiar figure standing there straight, waiting for him.

It was his adjutant, Wei Meng.

"Major."

Upon seeing Wang Ye return, Wei Meng immediately stepped forward, gave a standard military salute, and maintained his meticulous and serious expression.

"Yes, I'm back."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye pushed open the office door and gestured for him to come in.

"Why are you waiting here?"

"Has the mission notification come down from the military?"

"I was just about to tell you, you shouldn't go on this mission, stay in Ceylon and guard the base..."

"Major, this isn't about the mission."

To Wang Ye's surprise, Wei Meng did not come to him about Taliban.

"The military has just issued a new transfer order, assigning an elite MS pilot to our base. He has arrived and is waiting for your summons at the base."

"A new driver?"

Wang Ye was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought Wei Meng had come to volunteer for battle, but he didn't expect it to be this.

But is the new elite MS pilot still at this moment?

A name flashed into Wang Ye's mind in an instant.

Sure enough, Wei Meng's next words confirmed his guess.

"Her name is Soma Piris. She is said to be a super elite from a special agency. She has achieved top marks in all skills and tactics assessments and is a key ace being cultivated by the military."

Unaware of Wang Ye's thoughtful expression, Wei Meng continued his report.

"The military has instructed that she will serve as your direct subordinate and assist you in carrying out all subsequent missions."

Leaning against his desk, Wang Ye understood.

Sure enough.

Following the great victory on Ceylon, General Gao's prestige in the military soared, and he completely gained the upper hand in the factional competition with General Jin.

According to the original plot, Soma Piris should have been assigned to Sergei Smirnov and become the core combat force of the Top Force.

But now, because of its sudden emergence, the course of history has quietly changed.

General Gao has put all the best cards he could get into his own hands.

"Let her in," Wang Ye said, composing himself.

"Yes."

Turning around in response, Wei Meng took out his walkie-talkie and said something.

"Lieutenant Piris, come here."

A moment later, a figure pushed open the door and walked in.

The girl was dressed in a crisp, dark green uniform of the People's Revolutionary Army, her posture upright as a pine tree.

Her neat, medium-length silver hair made her skin appear even whiter.

Unfortunately, although her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll's, she lacked any girlish softness. Her pale golden eyes were clear yet cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

They resembled two bottomless, icy pools.

Every movement she made was precise and standard. After entering the office, she first gave Wang Ye an impeccable military salute, and then spoke in a voice that was so cold that it had no warmth at all.

"Lieutenant Soma Piris, Super Soldier Number One of the Superman Agency, is reporting to Major Wang Ye."

The sound was like shattered ice colliding, crisp yet carrying a chilling edge, just like her.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Wang Ye returned the salute with a standard military salute.

"Welcome to Ceylon Base, Lieutenant Piris. Lieutenant Weimon will take you to your accommodations and familiarize you with the base shortly."

"Yes, Major." Soma Piris saluted again, without saying anything more.

Then, as Wang Ye sized up the exquisite Soma Piris, an idea involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

This fake masked man, Char, is accompanied by a super soldier as his second-in-command...

This configuration, the more I look at it, the more it seems to have that vibe.

Touching his chin, Wang Ye recalled the standard features of masked figures throughout history.

It seems, it appears, perhaps.

In the Gundam world, masked men are never short of enhanced human subordinates, right?

Oh, right, the most classic setup is usually three enhanced Little Strong!

So, should this masked person from this world also follow this convention?

Now that I have Soma Piris, that means I'm still missing two.

I wonder if there are any suitable candidates in the People's Revolutionary Alliance's Super Soldier Laboratory.

We can't have paid such a high price and spent so much time only to have one Soma Piris usable, can we?

The more Wang Ye thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Anyway, my teacher, General Gao, is now fully supporting me and giving me whatever I want.

Why not... take this opportunity to get two more super soldiers from the military through General Gao's connections?

Wang Ye felt uneasy if he didn't gather three enhanced human Xiao Qiang.
