Chapter 66

"Rebil...... General," Ian looked at the old man who came and was stunned for a moment.

"Looks like you know me, young man." Rebiel stood in front of Ian. "The general public will not remember me as an idle general, but they will remember the young and handsome generals like Thiam." Rabiel looked at Ian's equipment on the ground.

"Universal survival equipment, no special equipment for the rainforest climate, old pistols from a hundred years ago, uncommon survival daggers, and communicators that you have never seen before, all show that your origin is not simple, young man." Rabiel stared at Ian's eyes tightly.

"Where, where, in fact, my origin is very simple, but then again, why is the lieutenant general of the Federation Army in such a place?" Ian didn't bother to refute the young man's title.

"Oh? Are you asking why the Federation's lieutenant generals can't be at the headquarters of the Earth Federation Army? ”

"So I'm here to Gabro......"

"Young man, I didn't say this base is called Gabro. The base is still top secret. Take it away and go to the base to ask questions slowly. Also, remember to destroy your personal belongings the next time you crash, Mr. Vasti. Rabiel pulled out a bag containing Ian's half-burned Federated Army key card with Ian's photo and name and position......

"Oh ......" Ian was pressed down by heavily armed soldiers...... Rebill's car.

"Shouldn't I be treated as a spy at this time, General Rebil."

"Mr. Vasti, I don't think a spy needs a person with the rank of general to go into battle in person, and, in our opinion, you are not from Earth. From the time your aircraft suddenly appears over Gabro to the time you eject and then you disappear into the jungle, our satellites have been watching this side.

According to the analysis of the wreckage, we found that although the text information on the aircraft was in English and Arabic numerals, there were several materials in the external armor material of the aircraft that we did not recognize at all. The propulsion of the aircraft is not our thermonuclear rocket engine, but a completely new and unheard of propulsion device.

By all indications, you're from an extraterrestrial civilization, Mr. Ian. ”

"Why don't you think I'm some secret organization on Earth? It's normal for secret organizations to have world-leading technology. ”

"Because the evidence still has this picture, Mr. Vasti." Rebiel asked for another bag from the staff officer, which contained a photo taken by Ian and Sergei on the wolf fight after the Battle of the Pillar. "No matter how you look at it, the secret organizations on Earth will not fabricate this picture."

"Well, you won General Rebil. If you have this kind of evidence, please come up with it as soon as possible, let's guess here if it's interesting to be dumb for a long time. "Ian raised his hand in surrender, and God knows why the escape pod blew itself up and didn't blow these things up." What do you want to say, General Rebier. ”

"What are you here for?"

"I also want to know why I was thrown here when I was jumping, the airframe blew up, and the communicator couldn't reach my country. I didn't even know where this was until I met you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called for help on the highway. ”

"But, you know me, you know the Union Army logo, and you know the Union Army uniform."

"Because this earth is in a different form on my side."

"I want to hear about it."

"Do you know cartoons?"

"Hmm. My grandson often watches. ”

"On my side, you have cartoons here, but there are also comics and movies."

"In other words, will you know where the world is going in the future?"

"Well, from the moment I came, the plot I knew went into the ditch. I don't believe that your technologists can't deduce new technology from my body, and you know that there are aliens who don't take me seriously and don't take history from me. ”

"That's right, we can't be indifferent. So, how about us from an outsider's point of view. ”

"Zeon, short-lived, Federation, rotten to the bone." In an instant, Ian felt that the federal soldiers and staff officers opposite him were looking at him with murderous aura. "Well, it doesn't seem to be rotten yet. You're holding on, after all. ”

"That's not a good review, Mr. Vasti."

"Just call me Ian, they're all old men, and Mr. is to blame Mr. for talking about it."

"You don't look like an old man. Ian. ”

"I'm almost 80, old enough."

"Hmph." Rebiel clearly didn't believe Ian 80's words. "Tell me, Federation and Zeon, the smell of gunpowder is strong enough now."

"Then let's just talk about it, it can only be used as a reference anyway. In 0079, Zeon became independent and started a war. One year later, Zeon dissolved and the Commonwealth recuperated. After three years of fighting a law and order war between the Federation and the Zeon Remnants, Zeon gathered his combat strength to kill about 70 of the Federation's Space Army. In the following years, the Confederation had a civil war, and after the civil war, it fought with New Zeon, and after the dissolution of New Zeon, it was basically peaceful, and it seems to have fought several times in 123 and 153, after which the Confederation dissolved. ”

"That's not very specific, Ian-kun. Let's just talk about the Zeon War of Independence. It's a storyteller. ”

"Huh...... It's boring to talk about it...... On 3 January, Zeon declared war, sinking the patrol fleet and attacking von Brown on the same day. Zeon then dropped a colony on Earth and prepared to blow it up, but blew up Sydney. Then you fought in the Rum Universe, and you were captured. After you are rescued, Zeon descends to Earth. Near November, the Zeon Gravity Front collapsed completely, and the Federation fought all the way to A. Ba Waku, and on 1 January, Zeon surrendered. By the way, you died before the final battle. Some people on my side said that this was the greatest result of Zeon during the Revolutionary War - they broke the backbone of the Confederacy. ”

"It seems that the people on your side have a high opinion of me, the general of the defeated army."

"Huh? Is Rum done? ”

"The war hasn't even begun, Ian-kun. But with you, the Federation's win rate is higher. ”

"A war that is impossible to lose in the first place cannot be won more than a higher rate." Ian shook his head, rather disdainful of Zeon.

"Oh? What is the high opinion? ”

"The population is not as good as the Federation, the productivity is not as good as the Federation, the war potential is not as good as the Federation, even if there is a temporary technological lead, as long as the Federation frees up, the Federation will soon be more advanced."

"You just said that the Federation is rotten, Yi Anjun."

"It's rotten, but that doesn't stop it from being a behemoth. Zeon's confrontation against the Federation can only be a momentary glory, and when the forces within the Federation are integrated, Zeon ......"

Rebiel could not deny "So, what are your plans to contact your country?" Can you guarantee that you won't invade us? ”

"I need to be able to get in touch with them, it's so far away from my home planet that I don't know if I'll be able to contact them in my lifetime."

"Well, then, I'll take you for granted. But until I truly believe in you, stay with me. Do you have any special skills? ”

"Me? Vehicle driving, equipment design. ”

"Then stay with me in Gabro first, whether it is a fighter or a combat vehicle or even a battleship, Gabro has a R&D and production center."

"Then it's better to be respectful, General Rebil. Please give me a lot of advice in the coming period. ”

In this way, on the sixth day of the jump accident, Ian boarded the Federation's chariot and became a technical staff officer at Rebil's side, and also served as a researcher at Gabro's equipment research and development center. And this day is June 1, 0075 of the cosmic century.

"Is that the researcher parachuted in? He was from that institute before? ”

"I don't know, I heard that it was recommended by General Rebil."

"General Rebil? The removed Admiral of the First Fleet? Did he even start going through the back door? ”

"Shhhh General Rebier is also what you can say? How many officers with real power are now promoted by General Rebier? Don't want to live anymore? ”

"But director, you see that he has been here for more than a month, and he has been doing nothing, just reading the information."

"Isn't it just that your filial piety is missing, and you are still short of this? Most of the people recommended by Rebile were kicked out because they didn't understand human feelings, so put up with him for a while, and then send him away after no results. ”

"Okay."

"I'll go see what he's up to, and I'll get back to it. Yi Anjun, what are you doing? ”

"Ah, Technical Director Ray. I'm looking at the drawings of the Magellan-class MK120 and I always feel that there is room for upgrades in this turret and I am looking for a breakthrough. ”

“mk120 Magellan-class twin 120mm cannons? It's a classic weapon, and many of the Federation's ships are now equipped with this type of cannon. ”

"Well, it's really classic, and the design is very compact, and it's hard to modify the structure inside." Ian found that this turret design was simply poisonous, leaving no room for upgrades, so it is no wonder that this type of machine gun, which was interfered with by Minovsky particles during the Battle of Rum, turned slower than the German 37mm walk-behind tractor in World War II. Ian also recognized the person in front of him, Tim Ray, the father of the future RX-78 Gundam.

"Indeed, there was basically no room for upgrading at the beginning of the design of this cannon, and the performance of this cannon was close to perfection in that era, and the reserved space was only for the upgrade of low-level electronic equipment."

"But it is clear that this machine gun is no longer enough in the current era." Ian turned off the blueprint and opened the turret he had newly designed here. "You take a look at these two turrets I designed, I don't know if they will pass the review."

"Model A is equipped with two 4-barreled 80-mm Gatling guns with a rate of fire of not less than 3,000 rounds per minute, and Model B is equipped with two new 120-mm rapid-fire guns with a rate of fire of not less than 1,200 rounds per minute and a rotation speed of more than three times that of the MK120."

"Not bad, boy." Tim Ray was a little surprised, and thought it was a related account and was incapable. I didn't expect to have my own results in just one month. "Send me the drawings and performance parameters, and I'll review them for you, and I'll give them to the old man of the Equipment Development Committee to review if there's no problem."

"Then thank you, Director Lei." Yi An'an said that if you audit the problem, I will lose, the system has been tested countless times, and these two turrets have also been installed in large quantities in the 00 world, and the output is definitely not lower than Zagu's MMP120 machine gun.

It didn't take long for Tim Ray to tell Ian that his design had passed the committee's approval, and after trial production, it would completely replace the old MK120 cannon and become the air weapon of the next batch of Federation ships. Moreover, the old man of the committee wanted to meet the rookie researcher who had designed a new outfit in just one month.

Tim Ray led Ian to a conference room, and then he himself was at the door.

"Second Lieutenant Ian Vasti, a researcher who was recommended by Lieutenant General Rebiel a month ago, right?"

"Yes."

"I'd like to hear your opinion on the Federation fleet." The old man sitting in the chief asked Ian a question.

"In my opinion, the ships of the Federation are not large enough, the firepower is not fierce enough, and the armor is not thick enough." Ian is righteous and solemn.

The eyes of the six old people on the opposite side lit up, and they hadn't spoken so favorably for a long time. "So what do you think?"

"The current Magellan class, the firepower is very evenly distributed, the 9 turrets are evenly distributed throughout the hull, no matter which direction the fire is fired, the firepower of up to 5 turrets is concentrated, and the Magellan class is fully equipped with 9 main guns, which is a serious waste.

Moreover, the Magellan class does not have the ability to carry carrier-based aircraft, which greatly limits the fire delivery distance of the Magellan class. Now that the Minovsky particles have been used in combat, radars are heavily jammed, and long-range shelling may require the assistance of observers.

The Magellan class still lacks a decisive weapon, and although the main gun is powerful, there is no weapon on the main battleship of the Federation that can win with one blow, that is, the cannon is not large enough.

The current armor can easily be pierced by the Mega Particle Cannon, and our armor is not heavy enough. Anti-aircraft firepower is also better than nothing, so I think we need to design a new type of large cruiser that combines artillery and aviation. ”

"It seems that you already have an idea, young man."

"It's just an immature design."

"You already have a design?"

"Well, designed in your spare time."

"Bring it over and we'll take a look."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get the computer."

"Okay, go, we'll wait here."

Ian walked out of the conference room quickly, got rid of Director Lei and drove him back to the research room to get his laptop.

Back in the conference room, Ian pulled out a magical version of Ptolemy's design.

"Look, this is the integrated battleship I envisioned. With a total length of 470 meters, a height of 96 meters and a width of 210 meters, it is equipped with 12 main guns with 3 Miga particle guns, 22 anti-aircraft guns, 3 64 multi-purpose missile launchers and 8 large anti-ship missile launchers. ”

The old man of the Federation looked at this large battleship, and his eyes lit up.
