Gundam Fire Still

"No problem, but why not let Major Frada or Major Blake do the talking? The two of them are the real field officers on the front line. As well as equipment, I'd recommend Young, anything about enemy and our equipment on this voyage is best asked of him."

"It's not that we won't ask them, the operations department won't release them, they certainly won't lend out the scarce pilot instructors and MS commanders they have on hand for lectures, and as for Young, I'll ask him, as well as several of our technical teams in the Intelligence Analysis Branch who would welcome someone with front-line experience like him."

"You seem to have a new message, sir?" Roy suddenly lifted his finger to the flickering terminal on the table, and Roy asked himself with his eyes if he needed to duck for a moment.

"Okay, I'll take a look," Arthur made a gesture to stay, then activated the terminal and the virtual screen was projected in the air, but of course, being a classified product, it looked like nothing more than a blur from Roy's point of view.

"Well, a rather bad, but not so bad, piece of news." Arthur looked up again, his face had obviously changed in some way, but he couldn't see what the expression that wasn't shocked but wasn't unexpected either meant, "Whale report from the submarine below the Arctic Ocean. Well you don't know this yet, the new agreement between our sonar net monitors and the cruising submarines to send direct messages with sound waves when they can't surface and must communicate, we'll use the sonar net to listen in, you know, the Arctic Circle has relatively intact sonar net coverage. Of course.

Usually submarines don't do things that expose themselves, and if there's no danger they can just surface. But when the target of their surveillance is Zaft they can take a bit of a risk and send it as a code using the pre-stored sounds that whales usually make, but of course they have to pick the type of whale that is present in that area, such as this one is a gray whale or an Arctic right whale, and then use a specific number of times and interruptions to avoid false alarms."

"Interesting approach, I don't think Zaft's submarine commander would have studied marine mammals."

"And this time the whale reports we're receiving are of the discovery of the Zaft underwater fleet, located in the Arctic Ocean, facing..."

"Us here?"

"Not at all."

2. bold speculation

Time goes forward a little bit.

Fred. Young, the new Lieutenant of Intelligence Integration, was standing in front of a building on the base in some confusion, he looked down at the message he had received on his terminal, the building in front of him had the number he needed to find written on the wall, but he noticed that the people entering and exiting would need to undergo some sort of testing at the front door. Apparently this building had a higher level of secrecy than the rest of the base before it would require an extra form of identification, perhaps fingerprints or pupils, some agencies would also use voice prints, but in any case he didn't think he'd be logged into the system here, he didn't see a guard post or a guard room, but they had to be somewhere where they could see the gate.

He hesitantly glanced around, trying to find a familiar face. Fortunately, the base was large enough and had a variety of personnel from different units that an unfamiliar face like his didn't raise any suspicion, especially when this was a technical department.

Then he quickly spotted an unexpected, familiar face he'd expected to find a fellow officer he'd worked with, but instead found one he'd studied with at the University of Chicago.

"Lucien? Is that you? Olufi 'otaku'?"

"Jan? Hell, I mean who's still calling me that stupid nickname here, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and you've been transferred to this shithole of a place?" Yang's acquaintance turned around and gave the former a bear hug, "But next time be polite, I'm your officer now." Lucian brightened the rank of Captain on his shoulder.

"I'm from the Intelligence Convergence, and I'm not exactly in the same system as your rank in the Atlantic Federation."

"Cut it out, who are you fooling, it's just a bunch of intelligence people, no matter which system they're in, they're all secretive. But how did you manage to get in with them?"

"Wrote some technical forecasts on MS while at Moonface Tech, then an analysis of battle records, stuff like that, and then the Intelligence Combine needed someone to help them analyze the enemy's new toy, and then," Jan shrugged, "and that was it. Instead, you, I thought you always said you were going to command the ships."

"I've applied several times, it's just that Chief Broome won't release them," the captain with the messy blonde hair put on a complaining face at the mention of this, "but I've finally gotten a project lately... But I shouldn't be able to talk to you for a while."

"Speaking of which, I was told to come here, but" he gestured to the heavily guarded gate "I can't seem to get in, do you know what to do?"

"You're coming here? Ah, I see. It's the Tactical Analysis Unit who wants him, isn't it? The Institute and you are indeed a partnership."

As he said that Jan was pulled to the door and then Lucian pressed a button in an unnoticeable spot on the side of the integrated ID verification device, "This is the doorbell" the latter explained simply, "It's really not easy to find." , then a small door opened on the side of the gate and the two guards on duty checked his transfer and pressed it a few times on their operating panel.

"Then someone will come down and get you, I think I should pull out." The Captain suddenly became a bit doddering, but it seemed to be too late.

"Captain Olufie, so there you are, how did you check those launch systems?" Appearing before the silhouette was a cold female voice, "Can you explain why you're here?"

"He was just telling me where the doorbell was, sir, because I didn't find a way in." Young spoke up in his defense, although he didn't know the other man, that must have a higher rank than himself.

"Well then Captain, get on with your work then Lieutenant Young, and welcome to the research team." The woman with the crisp, short black hair appeared in the doorway from around the corner, and Yang thought he could see a bit of the same kind of feeling on her face that belonged to a technical worker, and her Major's epaulets meant she was the head of one of the departments here.

"Yes, Major Dranzhalder." Lucian disappeared in a flash, leaving Jan and the major facing each other in the corridors of the building.

"I'm Elanhra . Dranzhalder, head of Naval Intelligence in charge of the technical side of the division, assigned to the Joshua base."

"Pleased to meet you, sir," Young appeared a little short, "Fred . Young, reporting to you."

"Theoretically you should report to your Intelligence Unity, but this is a cooperative agency, so it doesn't matter. Please follow me, and also, please, forget for the moment what I just asked the Captain, you can't know that one yet."

"Understood," Jan quickened his pace to keep up.

"We have plenty of good staff officers here, but there's been a shortage of people who've been on the front lines and also haven't been scared out of their wits to participate in the discussions, I personally focus more on understanding their techniques, but there are some good ones in a couple of groups, ideas about the tactical thinking of the opponent, someone who's dealt with them face to face can be of good use. " The Major was quick on his feet and didn't stop talking, "I know we have countless others doing the same thing, but the combined forces at this base shouldn't at least be behind."

"I didn't actually fire on them, I was just on that ship and could hear the guns." Jan smiled bitterly, even though he knew they couldn't see it, "There are a lot of experienced officers and staff on the Moonface front."

"Too bad the Cosmos won't let them go, even if someone comes down from the Cosmos, they tend to go home on leave or be a hero in Washington instead of coming here. You're much better than the people sitting in offices here, and I've read the report you wrote earlier, which gave some insight into the group's ideas, such as the adversary's technical winning mindset." The Major turned his head and raised an eyebrow.

"The fact is everyone can see they have a technology winning mindset, and that's been the case since MS, no, since genetic modification technology."

"We have a theory here that every time Zaft initiates a campaign, they adopt a new technology, or conversely, they only initiate a new campaign when they have a new technology in use; what do you think of that?"

"That's true from the input of MS and neutron interference, but it's too absolute...."

"Exactly, can you tell us why? That's the point."

"Obviously, we can all see that they didn't use any revolutionary new technology in the Moonface battle, unless you're referring to the Zavut, but you also know that's an airframe that they all hate; the same goes for their failed first drop operation."

"But we can also explain that it was the sticking of the moon's surface and the failure of the first drop that convinced them even more that the only way to win was with new technology, and that's why more new airframes were put into use." As if deliberately trying to make things difficult for the younger generation, the Major responded thus.

"Then the rest of the evidence is far-fetched; their second drop was hardly a fight, and they didn't put the Dinn into service until some time after that. Sure, the submarine carriers and underwater MS, and then Baku at Alamein did give them two battle victories. But relying on those few examples doesn't corroborate any of the conclusions, at least mathematically."

"Yes, scientifically it's a speculation that lacks evidence, but no one in the war had access to all the information, so we need to make inferences." The Major sat down at her desk and began working on the terminal.

"If you ask me, they're bound to have some kind of new weapon ready, I'm not sure if it's a new MS or a new device like neutron jamming, but they're bound to play big if they want to turn the tide of battle."

"Like what?"

"....." Yang hesitated, now might be an opportunity to make a more forward-looking prediction, "It's possible that they've developed equipment to remove the effects of neutron interference, allowing them to use nuclear weapons within certain limits.... Of course, that's just a guess."

"..... What a bold guess, we have enough institutes working in this direction, but so far there's no sign of any progress." "But it's different for them, after all, they worked out the technology for neutron interference first." "True, but even so, the speculation remains very... Radical."

"With an enemy like Zaft, it is impossible to speculate on their actions without being bold, after all, their tactics have always been radical and daring, plus their army commander in chief, Patrick . Sara has always been known for acting radically. We are well aware of that, in fact our reasoning must be bold enough to get anywhere near their line of thinking."

"Good point, both the Technical Research and Tactical Analysis teams need new ideas like that, it's a shame you can't be based here." The Major looked a little sorry, "Take this, but don't lose it," the terminal on the wall spat out a piece of paper and the Major handed it to Jan, "Your information is already recorded into our system here, so no physical temporary pass is needed, this is a guide to using the entrance identity discriminating device, use the Destroyed in the building. There's no need for me to remind you of more confidential matters. Next we'll go to the discussion room in B314 and you'll have to speak to our other analysts about what you think."

3. Retreat discussions

"Here's an image of Zaft's Land Warfare MS Baku in action," Jan turned on the projector and played on the wall of the discussion room the images of the battle he had been preparing for some time recorded by the Archangel and the team it belonged to, the images were not very clear and shaky at times, he wasn't used to speaking to many people, though this wasn't a single report. And just one seminar, "We can see that it's huge, but has excellent maneuverability."

"Then it must be expensive." A lieutenant staff officer said, "especially for its engine."
