Negotiations with Curator Roy!
Chapter 1921 Negotiations with Curator Roy!
“It’s good that you understand all this, Director Roy. Well then, I hope you can help me restore calm to this place as soon as possible.”
He Ming was slightly surprised by how quickly Director Roy accepted the offer, but this was also the most ideal situation.
After all, time travel is something that ordinary people find hard to accept in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the curator in front of us, Roy, is no ordinary person.
"To assist you?"
Director Roy pointed down to Lieutenant Begg, who was directing other Federation soldiers to move equipment, set up defenses, or relocate civilians on the street.
"Isn't that kid helping you enough? Judging from the current situation, you've stabilized the battle lines inside the colony. Next, it's time to fight outside the colony."
After a pause, Director Roy's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at He Ming and spoke.
"I imagine you, a federal colonel, must have already deployed a fleet outside the colony, right?"
Director Roy's performance surprised He Ming somewhat.
After all, based on firsthand experience, the current Director Roy seems to be completely different from the Director Roy in the original timeline who recklessly drove the R-44 Guntank to his death and ultimately left the damaged R-44 to the protagonist group.
“Director Roy is right. My fleet is outside Border Four, and they are on their way here. I believe things will quiet down around Border Four soon. But before that, I would like to ask for your help to get in touch with the federal officers who are on Border Four.”
He Ming openly and frankly informed Director Roy of his arrangements.
Lieutenant Berg was a good helper, but his position at the grassroots level meant he didn't have many channels to contact high-ranking officers.
Otherwise, Lieutenant Berg wouldn't have wanted to conscript men to fill the gaps when he saw the protagonist group driving the R-44 Gundam in the original timeline, instead of running away with the high-ranking officer who promoted him at the very first moment of the war.
Therefore, in the current situation, the only possible person, and the one who can contact the high-ranking officers who may still be on Border 4 in the shortest possible time, is Curator Roy, who can send these messy old equipment into the colony and open the weapons museum.
"Hehe. You think highly of this old man, Colonel Ming!"
After their conversation, Curator Roy still had some doubts, but he had basically come to believe what He Ming had said.
Regardless, the ZETA Gundam and the Banshee Gundam were standing right in front of him.
The former is a legendary mobile suit that left a significant mark on the UC era, while the latter is a mysterious machine that disappeared from the history known to Curator Roy.
Both the former and the latter have an inseparable connection with the Earth Federation.
Director Roy thought for a moment, then sighed and said.
"I can't guarantee I'll be able to get in touch with them. As far as I know, those bastards ran away as soon as they saw the enemy storm the port."
After a pause, Curator Roy looked sharply at He Ming.
“Colonel Ming, instead of dealing with those cowardly Federation officers, it would be better for you to directly command the troops here. Although I haven't fully grasped the current state of this timeline, fundamentally, you are also part of the Earth Federation Forces, and a Federation colonel at that. Legally and according to wartime regulations, your command authority is unquestionable.” “Director Roy, the Punishment Force cannot be stationed in one place for long. Because we are a mobile force.”
He Ming shook his head and gave the most crucial reason.
Taking over Border 4 is easy, but the Punishment Force, fundamentally, is not a force established to conquer territory, but a special independent force established to deal with dimensional disasters.
"Really? Well, I'll give it my best! I wonder which of those bastards who just take money and do nothing will still be here."
Roy thought for a moment, then couldn't help but curse for a while before turning back into the medical room, putting on his shoes, and coming out again. He greeted He Ming before striding off to cause trouble for the officers.
"This old man is quite interesting. At his age, he still wants to pilot that machine out to fight the enemy."
CC, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, turned her gaze to the R-44 steel tank that was parked on the flat ground and pulled back into the museum, and couldn't help but make a comment.
"Men, they'll always be boys until they die."
"Then you'll have to stay like this forever."
CC glanced at He Ming's mask and laughed.
"The collective consciousness doesn't want to see the day you grow old."
"We'll talk about that later! For now, let's deal with the immediate problem!"
Just as He Ming was negotiating with Curator Roy, hoping that the other party could come forward to find the federal officers who might remain on Border Four, Lieutenant Berg had already completed the task of reorganizing the troops assigned by He Ming.
With about fifteen MS units, including Jegan, Hervegan, and G Cannon, arriving from various locations and having completed emergency repairs and resupply, along with numerous jeeps equipped with missile launchers, the operation to retake the port could begin.
Moreover, the attack launched from space by Brad and his team should have put the Death Vanguard in a difficult position.
Space region near Port No. 4 on the border.
On the bridge of the flagship of the Death Vanguard fleet, a Zams Garr-class ship in charge of this offensive mission.
Gilles Kruger, Ironface's capable assistant, was frowning as he listened to the intelligence compiled by the CIC.
(Gilles Kluge)
"The resistance from the Federal forces inside Border Four is steadily increasing, seemingly under effective command, and they have even pushed the front line to the vicinity of the port?!"
As Gilles Kruger read the report describing the growing resistance of the Federation forces, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and a sense of impossibility crept into his mind.
For this day, his superior, Iron Face, had been working for a long time, and now he was leading the well-trained Death Vanguard Legion to break through the interior of Border Four. They were ready to completely crush the resistance of the Federation Army and raise the banner of righteousness belonging to the Death Vanguard, no, to the universe of Babylon, in this colony!
But why did the Earth Federation Forces, which seemed so vulnerable in every respect, suddenly turn the tide and demonstrate such formidable strength?
Did those Earth Federation generals who were sucking blood on Border 4 during the Death Vanguard's assault not run away, but instead awaken their fighting spirit and bravely lead their subordinates to resist the Death Vanguard's attack?
As soon as the idea popped into Gilles Kruger's head, he felt it was utterly absurd.
If the Earth Federation Forces were truly that powerful, how could they possibly stand idly by while the Death Vanguard rose to prominence?!
