Chapter 1668 Amuro Joins the Fray!
Unexpectedly, the time bomb planted between the two was resolved in this way.
Although Kenneth frankly stated that he would not pursue Mafti's crimes in this world, both Kenneth and Hathaway knew that the end of all this would come when everything returned to normal, and a complete solution would be found.
Before that, the two tacitly put aside their future plans and faced together this world that was in the past, but completely different and undergoing earth-shattering changes.
After receiving the information from He Ming about the super-Earth and the fact that the entire solar system was shrouded in an unknown force field, the two of them read it and secretly rejoiced that they had reached a consensus with each other.
Otherwise, let alone prosecuting Mafti for his crimes, even surviving would be a problem.
While the two were engrossed in gathering intelligence, the final stages of the Second Davao City Cluster project were gradually coming to an end.
"Colonel Ming. After a thorough search, there is no trace of BETA on the surface. As for underground, we are using relevant technologies to detect any potential nests."
Amro presented the report that Karaba had compiled to He Ming in a methodical manner.
"Okay. Just leave it here. Captain Amro, you and Karaba did a good job. Next, after the Federation Headquarters sends new garrison troops, Karaba can withdraw from Second Davao and return to your base for rest."
He Ming nodded and informed Amro of the short-term arrangements for Karaba.
"Yes! Thank you very much, Colonel Ming! But isn't there still one city that has fallen?"
Amuro thanked him first, and then asked a question.
"Sydney? Don't worry. They're finishing up there too. Unlike us, there are more BETAs there, but none of the big ones have appeared."
"Really? Then I'm relieved! Judging from this progress, there shouldn't be any more of those insect nests on Earth, right?"
Upon hearing this, Amuro breathed a sigh of relief.
"No. We cannot let our guard down for now. According to intelligence, these insects are active all over the solar system, except for the Earth-Moon sphere. Earth is not an isolated case. Moreover, these insects can invade along with the occurrence of dimensional quakes."
He Ming shook his head and revealed intelligence that the Earth Federation military leadership was not yet fully aware of.
At this very moment, on the edge of the solar system, fierce battles are breaking out on Saturn and Jupiter.
The forces currently defending the Earth-Moon Sphere against the BETA invasion are not troops dispatched by the Earth-Moon Sphere itself, but rather a large-scale extermination force composed of various combat forces from He Ming's side, including fleets, Tekaman assault squads, Vajura, and Els.
On Mars, perhaps because of the hyperspace gate, or for other reasons, it was not disturbed by the BETA and was able to serve as a relay point for communication between the Earth-Moon Sphere and the forces to which it belonged. However, it was also guarded by corresponding forces—the Nadeshiko and the ELS small celestial bodies sent by the ELS.
Only after hearing the information provided by He Ming did Amuro realize that there were so many threats beyond this planet.
"Colonel Ming, Karaba will continue its rest and reorganization as usual, but I hope to travel with the Garuda during this time."
Amuro, fearing that He Ming would refuse, quickly added.
"In my own name."
"In your personal capacity? Captain Amuro. Putting aside what your comrades in Karaba will think of you, will your girlfriend really let you board the Garuda alone?"
Amuro was speechless upon hearing this.
He never expected that He Ming would joke about something like this.
"Colonel Ming! This is not a personal dispute, but a matter of life and death for humanity! Bertiga, she will understand!"
Amuro said seriously.
He Mingyang raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse him.
"If you've made the necessary arrangements and there are no objections from anyone in Karaba, the Garuda welcomes you to the fold! Captain Amuro Ray!"
"Yes! Thank you very much, Colonel Ming!"
After watching Amuro leave, He Ming sat in his chair and silently began to ponder.
So far, besides Christina and others who descended to Earth from space with He Ming, the Garuda now has Murasame Feng, Rosamia from the Murasame Research Institute, enhanced human combatants from the Augusta Research Institute, and the two celebrities from the future, Kenes and Hassawi.
Furthermore, they received a clear reply from Amuro before setting sail.
According to the original timeline's combat power rankings, the pilots on this Garuda are capable of fighting against a full-strength fleet.
But, it's not enough!
The Punishment Force will face not only humans in the future, but also monsters from various dimensions, and even more terrifying adversaries.
Thinking back to the base beneath the Third Tokyo urban cluster, He Ming couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Even though he had planted the seed in the key figure Shinji Ikari by chance, he was still Gendo Ikari, a ruthless man who could sacrifice everything to achieve his goal.
Once the other side realizes what kind of backup plan Nomino left for Shinji Ikari, they might take some rather extreme measures to eliminate the threat.
We still need to recruit more people!
After a moment of contemplation, He Ming had Adino present him with a list of all the factions that had been identified on Super Earth, so that he could review them one by one and select suitable personnel.
Meanwhile, Murasame, who was preparing the Psycho Gundam with her mentor Namikal, suddenly heard some noises near the dock.
"Feng, there's no need to pay attention to those people."
Standing beside the cockpit of the psycho-Gundam, looking at the data on his laptop, Namikel Cornell offered a reminder. "In the past few days, there have been some people coming here, trying to board the Garuda."
"Attempting to board the Garuda?"
Murasame blinked, turned on the panoramic screen in the cockpit, and adjusted the camera to face the port entrance.
The next second, a somewhat familiar face appeared in front of Feng.
"It's her? Kiki Andalusia?"
Do you know that girl?
Upon hearing the noise, Namikar craned his neck to look into the cockpit and saw Murasame watching the girl.
"Hmm, they seem to be passengers from that space shuttle that crashed."
After thinking for a moment, Cun Yufeng added.
"I sensed that she was different."
"no the same?"
Upon hearing this, Namikal's eyes lit up.
Murasame is an enhanced human created by the Murasame Research Institute for developing Newtype abilities.
If Murasame, who possesses superhuman perception, can say something different about someone, doesn't that mean that person is truly different from ordinary people?
"Yes. But the colonel told me not to pay too much attention to her."
Murasame didn't see the gleam in Namikal's eyes. After turning off the screen, she continued to prepare, staring at the small screen in front of her.
Namikal seemed to have something to say, but Murasame Feng dismissed the idea with a remark that seemed to come out of nowhere.
"The colonel said that he would arrange for these people to go to space and be taken care of by General Rebil, so we don't need to worry about it too much."
"General Reibell personally made the arrangements?"
Namikal felt a sense of relief.
If she were to make up her mind to find an excuse to leave, ask someone to help take the woman there, and try to win her over to the Murasame Research Institute, she would probably have a direct conflict with He Ming, who was disguised as Colonel Ming, and the federal faction generals of Reibille's faction.
This would inevitably result in more losses than gains.
"Feng! Well, I'll handle the rest. You can go back and rest now."
In return, Namikal smiled warmly and decisively took on the final preparation work himself.
"Is it really possible?"
Murasame stopped what she was doing and looked at Namikar, whose attitude was becoming increasingly friendly and cordial.
"of course can."
Namikar was afraid that Murasame would not accept her kindness, so she quickly said...
“Look, isn’t it the same on Rosamia’s side? Moreover, even though it’s a machine from the Augusta Research Institute, it still gets assistance from Colonel Ming’s exclusive team.”
The speaker may have been unintentional, but the listener may have been intentional.
Murasame immediately pushed aside the small screen in front of her, got up and walked out of the cockpit.
"Then, I'll leave the rest of the preparations to you, mentor."
"no problem!"
Namikar naturally knew that Murasame would inevitably go to find He Ming next.
This is also the result she wanted.
If it weren't for Murasame's words that had enlightened Namikar, she would never have realized that Colonel Ming was backed by General Reibill, a figure of immense influence within the Earth Federation Forces, yet largely unknown to the public!
After watching Murasame leave, Namikar looked at the technicians who were surrounding Rosamia's Gaplan, preparing and studying parts, and even drawing blueprints on site, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
They were a dedicated technical team dispatched by Anaheim Electronics to carry out various maintenance tasks for the Banshee Gundam.
Upon seeing the Gaplan, a transformable mobile suit, and learning that it was a new member personally recruited by He Ming to the Punishment Force, these technicians immediately submitted a report to He Ming and made requests to Rosamia and even the Augusta Research Institute, hoping to be responsible for part of the maintenance work of the Gaplan.
Although that's what they say on the surface, everyone knows the real situation perfectly well.
Just as Namikael learned that Colonel Ming of the Punishment Force was backed by Rebil's faction, the Augusta Institute did the same, approving the applications of these technicians without hesitation, but on the condition that the relevant technology and works be kept secret and limited to use by the Punishment Force.
With He Ming as witness, the two parties reached a mutually agreeable cooperation agreement.
Namikal occasionally felt a pang of jealousy about this.
Look at the Psycho Gundam, then look at the Banshee Gundam, how come the difference is so big?
