42 The old lady is gone!

Under the front and back attacks of the first machine and the zero machine, the fifth apostle, who was invincible with two fists and four hands, did not even have a chance to blow himself up, and this battle was finally won without danger.

In particular, Kensuke Aida and Toji Suzuhara, who were "lucky" to witness this battle at very close range, even wandered back and forth on the edge of the Onimon Pass several times, but they themselves didn't know how lucky they were.

Everyone in the command breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the brightness of the Fifth Apostle's S2 mechanism on the huge screen gradually dimmed, and finally went out completely, becoming like an ordinary gray stone bead.

In any case, Chu Xuan's cold decision succeeded in ** the apostle, and also left the apostle with a complete body that was very beneficial to the research work and a s2 organ that was not very damaged, and the two teenagers were not really harmed, which can be said to be a great joy.

But there seems to be another person in this command who doesn't think so, after Misato Katsuragi, the head of operations, moved his gaze from the huge screen to Chu Xuan's face, his gaze immediately became serious, and the tone of his voice was quite polite and distant.

"Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, although I have no intention of pursuing your ultra viress behavior, but in the future, if the situation permits, can you inform me of the combat proposal, instead of going over me and directly commanding the EVA pilot?"

Facing Misato Katsuragi, who was full of anger hidden in the calm, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied in a steady and uninhibited voice as always:

"I apologize for my overstepping of my authority, but I will continue to do so in the future if necessary.

However, as the Chief of Operations, I may be forbidden to enter the command headquarters during wartime if you deem it necessary. ”

Chu Xuan's answer was extremely tough, it could be said that he was tit-for-tat to Misato Katsuragi, making Misato Katsuragi angry enough, and at this time, all the people around him closed their mouths, and the dumb man quietly acted as a turtle with a shrunken head, waiting for these two people to solve the conflict by themselves...... Or let this contradiction explode completely.

If you talk about this incident alone, Chu Xuan's approach is undoubtedly right, and it may be the best choice; However, if you look at it from the aspects of "rules", "system" and "unspoken rules", Chu Xuan's approach is undoubtedly very wrong, and it can't be more wrong.

"If you are not in her position, you will not seek her own politics", since the chief of operations is Misato Katsuragi, then even if she doesn't understand bullshit and takes everyone into the ditch with her eyes open, no one else should overstep her authority to command, if everyone does this, and thinks that other people's judgments are wrong, they act according to their own judgment, then what else do you want the commander to do?

And open the skylight to say bright things, Chu Xuan's intervention is tantamount to making up for the mistake for Misato Katsuragi, and he also made a mistake, and Misato Katsuragi not only won't appreciate it, but it is very likely that he will hold a grudge, which is completely thankless.

Misato Katsuragi made a mistake, and naturally needs to take responsibility afterwards, demote when he should be demoted, transfer when he should be transferred, and then other people who are interested in this position can succeed without risk, this is the most standard approach in officialdom, but Chu Xuan, a fool who is focused on scientific research and military affairs, will probably never be so "smart".

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

In the headquarters, where only the sounds of various electronic devices could be heard, Misato Katsuragi glared at Chu Xuan angrily, and her pretty face turned red with annoyance.

If she made a small report to the superior leader, the superior leader would indeed punish Chu Xuan in order to maintain the authority of the commander; She could indeed use her authority to prohibit Chu Xuan from stepping into the headquarters...... But in that case, wouldn't she become a jealous villain?

- There are probably not many people in this world who don't play "Super Robot Wars", "Colonel Chu Xuan", a cutting-edge player who jumps at rocket speed in both command and driving directions, has received more attention than General Yang Willy, Emperor Reinhardt, and any idol singer, and of course everyone in the nerv base can't know that Chu Xuan is the "Colonel Chu Xuan".

However, if she didn't say anything, wouldn't she become Chu Xuan's puppet?

Let her take command when she is usually fine, and if something really happens, she immediately takes back the command, which is simply ...... It's so contemptuous!

"Old lady......

Misato Katsuragi clenched her fists tightly, as if she was desperately trying to resist the anger in her heart, but in the next second, she took off the red beret on top of her head, slammed it to the ground, and shouted loudly through gritted teeth:

"The old lady is gone! Give up the spot to you! That's always the way to go! ”

"I don't covet your position......"

Chu Xuan pushed down his glasses expressionlessly, wanting to justify his actions, but Misato Katsuragi had already angrily passed by him and ran directly out of the command headquarters.

As an old acquaintance of Misato Katsuragi and Chu Xuan's nominal superior, Ritsuko Akagi walked up to Chu Xuan and bent down to pick up the red beret that Misato Katsuragi threw down, gently brushed away the dust that was not visible to the naked eye, and said to Chu Xuan quite helplessly:

"I really didn't expect to bring you to the command to cause such a mess......

Maybe...... No, although it is true that Misato's command ability is not as good as yours, and her judgment just now is indeed a bit emotional, but dealing with people is not like doing research or commanding operations......

Speaking of this, Ritsuko Akagi herself let out a long sigh.

Then she shook her head and walked outside the headquarters, patted Chu Xuan's shoulder as she passed by Chu Xuan, and whispered:

"I'll persuade her on Misato's side, but she just doesn't think she can get off the stage, and she doesn't really have any opinions about you.

But you'd better apologize to her too...... Forget it, you have already apologized just now, but it turned out to be the opposite, you should be as usual. ”

After saying that, Ritsuko Akagi walked out of the headquarters unhurriedly, and she didn't know if she had gone after her friends; The black cat watched Akagi Ritsuko's back disappear behind the door with an expressionless face, and then silently turned his head back, raising his head to look at Chu Xuan's resolute calm side face, and there was a little worry in his ruby eyes.

The black cat was frightened, frightened by this "adult contradiction", and didn't know what to do.

After all, she is just a student, no matter how powerful she is, she is still just a student, even if she has the memory of her "past life...... Her "previous life" also does not have this kind of "adult memory", maybe the black cat is now ready to become a good wife and mother, but she is not ready to become an "adult" and enter society.

Like this kind of contradiction between Misato Katsuragi and Chu Xuan, the black cat doesn't know how to solve it at all, but she knows that this is not the kind of contradiction like friends quarreling, even if they are reconciled on the surface in the future, this contradiction will still become a knot between Misato Katsuragi and Chu Xuan.

The black cat knew that Chu Xuan's approach was right - because in the "original plot", the Fifth Apostle was **** like that, but he refused to retreat according to Misato Katsuragi's order, and Shinji Ikari, who recklessly assaulted the Fifth Apostle, used his body to restrain the opponent's two tentacles, and then stabbed the knife into the opponent's S2 mechanism.

But Misato Katsuragi didn't know...... No, it has nothing to do with whether she knows it or not, it is no longer a question of right or wrong, but a more complicated, darker, and more unreasonable "adult problem".

Don't talk about Misato Katsuragi, even if it is the black cat herself, when she thinks that no matter what she does, there is someone much stronger than herself watching by her side, ready to replace her at any time, she immediately feels that her head is big, but it is obviously Chu Xuan who is correct......

It is this contradiction in people's surnames that makes the simple black cat have an indescribable panic - perhaps, she is more selfish than she thinks?

"Ahem...... Let's all go to work, although the apostles have been destroyed, but there is still much to deal with the aftermath.

Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, please come to my office. ”

At this time, Deputy Commander Dongyue, who was standing on the high command platform, finally spoke.

So everyone hurriedly moved, but except for the black cat, everyone consciously or unconsciously avoided making contact with Chu Xuan's eyes, as if they were unconsciously alienating him.

Sympathize with the weak, right or wrong...... This is the inferior root of human beings! (To be continued.) )
