Chapter 1762 Discussion on Agama!
SIDE7, the cosmic region adjacent to the Cyan Noah.
Bridge of the assault cruiser Agama, belonging to the Valley.
Char Aznable was discussing information that had just been sent from the Valley's intelligence channels with Captain Henken Beckner of the Argama.
"Captain Char, do you think we might end up facing off against Punishment in the future?"
Henken Beckner has his own concerns about the increasingly powerful Punishment Force.
On the contrary, Char Aznabul was very optimistic.
"Captain, please don't worry that we'll be at odds with Punishment. On the contrary, I think that at some point in the future, we might even join forces with Punishment."
Unlike the original timeline, the man who joined the Valley using the pseudonym Char Aznable instead of Kovatro Bagina possessed an incredibly strong optimism about the future.
"Oh? Could I hear what the Red Comet has to say?"
Henken Bekner held Char Aznable, the powerful figure who earned the nickname "Red Comet" during the One Year War, in high esteem.
Furthermore, on the very first day of their contact, Char Aznable presented The Valley with a gift that The Valley could hardly refuse, helping it deliver a heavy blow to the arrogant Titans.
“Actually, this is not much of an idea. Captain, you know that my sister Artesia Deikun is now considered the governor of Muzo. In addition, I would like to tell you another piece of information.”
Char Aznabule paused, then smiled and said.
“My sister Artesia Deikun intends to join the Punishment Force. I believe that she is already a member of the Punishment Force now that we have arrived in Blue Noah.”
"what?"
Henken Beckner's eyes widened on the spot.
This is truly earth-shattering news.
Since Deacon's daughter returned to Muzo and ascended the throne there, almost everyone believed that she would restore Zeon's glory, lead Zeon back to its former glory, and raise the sword of revenge against the Earth Federation.
However, Artesia transformed herself from a recognized Avenger into a member of the Earth Federation Forces' special forces unit, Punishment.
Surprised?
Char Aznabul wore a faint smile, seemingly pleased with the shock the news had caused Henken Beckner.
It is believed that, in the future, after learning of this news, the higher-ups of the Valley will pay more attention to the relationship between Char Aznable and Artesia.
"Yes. I was indeed very surprised."
Henken Beckner remarked.
Then he asked another question.
"If that's the case, your sister will likely follow Colonel Ming. So, Mu Zuo?"
"Don't worry about Muzo. I believe Artesia will make the necessary arrangements. Moreover, I also believe that Colonel Ming, the Punisher, will not stand idly by and watch Muzo fall back into the hands of the remnants of the Zabi family, causing the hard-won peace of Side 3 to be reignited by war once again."
Char Aznabul's eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, held a deep depth.
"Is that so? In that case, it is indeed possible that our Valley might join forces with the Punishment Force at some point. However, would the Punishment Force and Colonel Ming be willing to confront the Titans directly?" Henken recalled the battles the Punishment Force had experienced since its establishment, almost all of which were external conflicts.
It's either dealing with those insects that rushed out of another dimension, or fighting against an alien empire that declared war on the Earth Federation.
“I believe so. Captain, I’ve heard that the name ‘Punishment’ was coined by General Gop. In the ancient East, the name ‘Punishment’ means to punish or punish the guilty.”
"In today's complex and ever-changing world, the meaning represented by this name is presumably to bring to justice the sinners who influence the world situation, attempt to subvert the world, and plunge the world into an abyss of no return."
"These are my humble opinions, from a personal perspective, on why General Gop chose this name."
After listening to Char Aznabul's explanation, Henken Beckner nodded silently.
Then, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thinking about it this way, the pressure we are facing now may become easier in the near future."
"That's natural. In terms of the motivations and philosophies behind the establishment of the Valley of the Dead, we have no conflict with the Punishment Force. However, the Punishment Force is now facing an enemy from outside, from another dimension, while we are facing an ambitious schemer and conspirator hidden within the Earth Federation Army, who is attempting to overthrow the human regime and is willing to sacrifice millions of people to achieve his own selfish desires!"
As the discussion progressed, Char Aznable's thoughts became increasingly clear.
"On the surface, our duties as the Valley and Punishment are separate and independent. However, once certain things exceed certain thresholds, these two seemingly independent and non-interfering parallel lines may become intertwined."
At first, Henken Beckner didn't react, but the moment Char Aznable finished speaking, the first captain of Argama suddenly stood up.
"Captain Char, are you sure what you're saying is just based on your personal speculation?"
Henken Beckner's eyes were sharp, but more than that, they were filled with worry.
Char Aznabul nodded calmly.
"Yes. This is just my personal guess. But based on my observations before joining the Valley, this guess is probably quite likely to happen."
"this···"
Henken Beckner sighed, sat back down in his chair, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
The joy of learning that the Punishment Force might become an ally turned into a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"There are gains and losses. At some point in the future, we will welcome allies called Punishers, and naturally we will also have to assume the responsibilities of our allies."
Char Aznabul didn't find anything wrong with it.
If it weren't for some differences in ideals and objectives with Artesia, Char Aznable might have chosen to act with his sister, instead of joining the Valley, with Artesia waiting for the arrival of the Nameless One, and joining the Punishment.
In Char Aznable's view, the Punishment Force is a strong shield protecting humanity from invasion by extradimensional enemies, and it will inevitably have a significant impact on the Earth Federation Forces in the future.
But that's not enough. There are still many corrupt and decadent elements within the Earth Federation Army and even the Earth Federation Council.
Therefore, Char Aznabul wanted to see these corrupt and decaying places from another perspective, and then try to eliminate them!
