Part 3: The Battle Song of the Angels: Chapter 37: A New Battleship

"Well, is this the equipment I'm going to get for my team in the future?"

Slowly descending in the elevator alone, I took advantage of some free time to take out the list I had just obtained from the equipment department and look through it carefully.

There are two Nazca-class high-speed warships and one Lauraxia-class MS carrier. Three warships, Zaft headquarters is quite generous.

Then there's the latest mass-produced MS that has just been pre-produced, the Ginn, and the Dinn, with eight each, equipped with combat backpacks for various modifications, which is quite convenient. Zagu? The last time I chatted with Dr. Vera, I seemed to have heard of this newly developed mech, and the performance parameters are not bad, and it has far surpassed the current gold in service.

Next is the ammunition needed for various weapons, some of which even make people feel strange and omnipresent, such as the five hundred directional gravitational blasting shells here, such a dangerous thing will even be pulled into it, and under normal circumstances, it is estimated that no commander will use it on the battlefield inside the earth.

I had a headache when I saw the cumbersome numbers, and hurriedly put the list away, these troublesome things should be left to the future adjutants to deal with, after all, they are specialized in these thankless tasks, if the adjutant assigned to me by Zaft headquarters in the future can have the ability of Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, it would be a great blessing for the commander to have such an adjutant, otherwise Maliu who was in battle for the first time would never have done it so smoothly.

Walking out of the Zaft headquarters building with anticipation, I hailed a maglev car parked nearby and drove slowly towards the officers' quarters.

"Di~" The communicator on the wrist made a crisp sound.

"Leonard, is that you?"

"It's Grandpa Reuben, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" On the screen of the communicator was the serious face of Grandpa Reuben.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk about these polite words later." Old man Ruben obviously came to me for something: "I heard that you are going to the front, right?" ”

"Oh, what? Have you even heard of it? ”

"Hmph, of course I've heard that, I've been paying more attention to the situation outside since you last came, my old bones haven't lived for decades, and there are always a few friends who can talk, and I've long been clear about what the two little bastards are talking to...... Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, since it's already an established fact, you come to the PLANT Central Academy of Sciences in the afternoon, I have something to give you. Old man Ruben grumbled angrily and then cut off the communication.

Things seemed to be getting more complicated, and I let out a wry smile, my heart churning like the Pacific Ocean in a storm.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the gate of the PLANT Central Academy of Sciences on time after lunch.

This is the second time I've been here, and this time I don't have to be as sneaky as I was last time I came with Speaker Klein, and Mr. Maude, the butler of Old Man Reuben, is already standing straight there waiting for me.

When the ruthless butler saw me, he kept his silent characteristic, immediately opened the car door for me, and then drove quietly into the door.

After a long and oppressive passage, I came to a much larger space than the MS Research Department led by Dr. Vila, surrounded by some unfinished battleship skeletons, and I saw Old Man Ruben standing in the middle of the clearing.

"Coming?"

"Hmm."

Today's old man Reuben looked a little emotional, as if he was remembering something, and the way he spoke became concise and concise.

"Come with me. Leonard. Mr. Ruben walked forward with a medium-frequency pace.

"Grandpa Reuben, do you have anything to explain to me?"

"You're as worrying as your father." Mr. Ruben shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you know your current situation? ”

"Although I don't know much about the details, the general situation can still be judged."

"The Klein girl told you, right?" Mr. Ruben suddenly smiled narrowly.

"Lux said some of it, and some of it was my guess." Facing Mr. Reuben's smile, I said something unnaturally.

Mr. Ruben shook his head and said, "Frankly, I don't like that girl named Lux, look at you, how many things you have done for her that you would not have wanted to do, and have caused less trouble?" What's more, this girl's character is too utilitarian, although her intentions may be good, but her means of acting are like a politician who has been in politics for many years, even more clever than most politicians, it makes people feel chilling to think about it, as your only elder at present, I don't expect your future wife to be such a woman. In contrast, the girl who came with you last time was very nice, she seems to be your fiancée, she is a very cute girl. ”

"Hmm...... This one...... I. "This topic just hit me in the soft underbelly, and Lux's problem is a headache for me all the time, but I have always adopted the practice of escaping reality, and always put it aside in the end, and now it is really speechless to be directly said by Mr. Reuben.

"Alas, forget it, it's useless for me to talk about these problems, it's better to teach you young people to deal with it yourself, I just want to say to you, what is the most suitable for you, you had better think more in your heart."

…………

"Alright, now tell me why I'm calling you here today...... You look at what is in front of us first. "As we rounded around a battleship that was about to be completed, a huge underground spaceport appeared in front of us, and a very powerful battleship was parked in it. The design of this battleship is very different from today's mainstream warships of Zaft, the NASCAR-class high-speed ship and the Lauraxia-class MS carrier, but it is slightly similar to the Archangel of the United Earth Forces, the hull is more than half longer than the Nazca-class battleship, and it appears to be unusually wide, with majestic wings on both sides, and the tail is obviously different from the single tail that Zaft is popular, but adopts a quadruple streamlined compound wing that is conducive to steering, which is a warship with strong attack and defense and flexible action. Such a battleship is also very much to my liking.

"Grandpa Reuben, what is this battleship?" I asked, confused.

"Don't ask yet, can you see if you like it first?" Mr. Ruben replied in response to the question.

I thought of a possibility, suppressed the excitement of the imminent eruption in my heart, and said: "From the appearance, I can probably judge the characteristics of this battleship, it should belong to the kind of special combat ships suitable for offensive operations, and I also prefer this type of ship, but the specific evaluation can only be known after use." ”

"Really? If you like it, because from today onwards, this battleship is yours. Mr. Ruben said lightly this answer, which I expected and which surprised me infinitely.
