Miki's viewpoint

"Never use a piece maker."

The United States boasts a strategic strategic satellite , a peacemaker that functions as a perfect attack satellite. Perhaps they took control from outside hacking, but when they fired two shots in quick succession, they seemed to have some insider in the United States with fire control. Anyway, it's about the Army Vice Admiral who had been spending a lot of time before. Shall we rush to the U.S. government at a later date?

Even so, the Ursuna Empire's defense system was a laughable level. No way to protect the ship intact from the direct hit of the peacemaker, I was terrified if we were in a total war with the Ursuna Empire at that time. When she shook himself, Elise, who turned her face blue as well, opened her mouth while checking the terminal.

"I heard from Ursuna's caster that he started rebuilding the activated lily's shield, and that it is currently filling with magic, so it will take about 30 minutes before it can be reused. You were lucky. ''

"Peacemaker's control seems to be recovering normally, so it's okay if the defense system can be used again in just 30 minutes ... but programmatic calculations will destroy the lily's shield as a weapon on Earth Then I knew it was impossible, but I didn't think so.

"I agree. It is convinced that the medium for developing art is said to be a national treasure. Even though the situation in the G-88 world is stable, lend a flagship a lily shield, which is the key to defense. I can't get up to Her Majesty Victoria, who did it. ''

The screen in front shows Noah's fleet that has recovered from the jamming attack. There was no noticeable damage, and he continued to sail calmly in a circle around the flagship Mermaid. Looking at the situation, a communication came in from an unusually impatient Shuichi.

"Can you hear me? Communication was temporarily paralyzed by a jamming attack. I heard a terrible sound during the recovery, what happened? Do you check the situation there? '

"Of course. At about the same time as the jamming hit, a US peacemaker was hacked and hijacked. It looks like a uranium spear launched from the peacemaker hits the mermaid at an estimated speed of 12,000 km. However, it seems like it is intact thanks to the activation of the Ursna empire's proud homeland defense magic "Yuri no Shield". I will send the information from here to the main terminal there. "

While answering Shuichi's question, she laughs in the back of her throat. The Peacemaker, which the United States announced to the world several years ago as part of its homeland defense strategy, and the Ulsan Empire's homeland defense magic, Yuri no Shield, are wondering which is the true defense.

"Okay, I'm receiving it now. By the way, what will we do in the future? I think that it is a trap for the submarine unit to withdraw, but I think it is also an opportunity. I would like to rush into the ice shelf connected to the Antarctic base and move on to securing the bridge. They won't be able to use such an attack satellite near their base. ''

"I will leave it to you for the operation. This time it is different from a normal military operation because it uses a transfer gate. Ultimately, until the gate is opened, the main unit can be intact and preserved whatever happens. The Military Department will do what it deems best because it will be able to deal with this strategy change. ''

"Then I will go into the ice shelf as planned. However, there are strange movements around the enemy's Antarctic base. In the unlikely event of failure to secure the bridge, stop the operation and withdraw to the attack starting point. "

Shuichi, who salutes and said that, disappeared from the screen, and Noah's fleet was shown again. After assembling the cold, scented black tea in her mouth, she asks Ellis.

"Ready for main unit?"

"The 1st Landing Force is already waiting in front of the gate. After the 1st Unit secures the bridgehead, Merkava and Ursna, both of which are directly guarded by TMN and Russia's State Maintenance Forces, have started landing. This includes Koki and Chernobog, and we've arranged for a second unit of reserve to be available at any time. "

"What is Alice and Kon-chan doing?"

"……… We are waiting inside the Type 0 suit right now. It seems that we are asleep as far as we can see the vital figures.”

No wonder. After the final adjustment and subsequent testing, both of them are tired, so it's better to lay them to the last minute. I don't really want to let him go, but for some reason, including Koki, he insisted on going to Antarctica to ask Dr. Sandra. She said she would always tell her why when she came back, but could she tell me the secrets she has hidden? Well, let's not expect that much.

"Alice can leave her sleeping. The problem is."

"Is it the trend of Koki and Chernobog?"

"Well, what did you get?"

"Nothing is clear. Chernobog's dormitory has its own security posture, and all information terminals are physically shielded from the outside, making intrusion from outside impossible. In addition, all intrusions inside the dormitory have been detected on Chernobog's side and have never been successful.

I can't wait for Ellis's report to leak. She works hard. Mr. Shuichi has also helped by assigning personnel who have experience in special operations at the UN Forces, but has not yet managed to break through Chernobog's security.

Of course, you can be bullish considering your opposition. However, Captain Yulia provided herself as a specimen for an extremely dangerous experiment with a probability of success of 0.006% of `` transplanting the whole brain '' for the purpose of collecting medical data for Alice who is burdening the brain Was. In the G-88 world, they also take the initiative in exploring danger areas and dispatching emergency services in emergencies. In other words, what are you doing with Kouki inside the dormitory? Apart from, it is a very friendly and reliable unit.

"I can't help ... I wonder what the prototyping machine that was requisitioned would be used anyway."

"I'm sorry, what is the prototype that I requisitioned?"

"You sent the information to the Military Department, but did you receive it? The X-55 testing machine developed by the Engineering Department."

Ellis has a strange face in my words. She has only been seconded to me, where she is a member of the Chief Executive, and her original affiliation is that of the military department. So I thought that if I sent information to the military department, she would automatically get the information too. Is that different?

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you've been told by the captain about the military's wartime regulations ..."

From Shuichi? Speaking of which, when was the last conversation with that person other than the previous communication? About a week ago, when I ate with Koki and Alice with members including Kon-chan, I was certain ... No, not like ...

"At the same time that the Military Department is transitioning to a wartime regime, personnel dispatched to each department will not be reported Class 2 or higher information to prevent confidential leaks. Probably the prototype is Class 2 or higher. Isn't it? "

Ellis who read my troubled expression casually tells me the rules of the war. Speaking of which, I feel like I was told such a thing, but it was surprising that it was applied to Ellis who was seconded to the executive office. This is completely missing my confirmation. It was nice to notice before it became irreparable.

"I guess the X-55 was classified as Class 2 or better. I wasn't sure enough. Did you know about the X-55?"

"I don't know. It looks like a new model developed by the Engineering Department."

"This is a high altitude stealth tester. You can fly above the Carman line."

By the way, does Ellis have a surname of Dauntless and is he originally from the Air Force? TM The members of TMN's direct force, including her, have been erased from their records before entering the UN Forces, so I have no idea.

"I'm sorry. I'm from the Army Intelligence and I don't know much about the sky."

"I don't mind. Normal aircraft fly in the troposphere, where altitudes range from 15,000 to 20,000 meters. The upper altitude of the high altitude reconnaissance aircraft Ellis has been on I think it's about 25,000 at best, and the area within 50,000 meters is called the stratosphere, have you heard of the stratosphere? "

"Yes"

"Furthermore, the area at an altitude of 85,000 meters is called the mesosphere. The Carman Line refers to the line 100,000 meters above that, or 100 kilometers from the ground."

"... Um, is that space?"

"Yes, depending on how it is defined, there is no doubt that it is above space above the Kerman line, and the testing machine X-55 uses a rocket engine at an altitude of 130,000 meters to reach 10,000 km / h, Mach It's a stealth plane that flies over eight. ''

"Is the reconnaissance satellite or space debris radar not able to detect it?"

"Debris radars are not detectable because of stealth aircraft. It is almost impossible to find out from satellites due to the development of optical camouflage. However, there are serious drawbacks."

I remembered the fact that there was a description of the product that would normally be fun, and stopped at the asshole. That's a terrible drawback ... Looking at my face, which looks like a bite of a worm, Ellis asked her to turn her face blue.

"Maybe there is irreparable fatal damage to the crew?"

"I don't make such a defective item. The problem is that the aircraft is too special to attach a landing gear, that is, when it takes off, it ejects the crew halfway and crashes due to lack of fuel. And the X-55 is very expensive! Simply put, the 8th generation power suit used by Koki is full-featured and can be ordered for a dozen. The cost would be lower, but we only made one because there was no use other than collecting experimental data. ''

That's right ... As a result of the mere enhancement of performance, the X-55 has become a disposable stealth aircraft that is 12 times more valuable than Satanakia, a dedicated Koki tree that accounts for about 3% of Noah's annual budget. It's going to hurt your stomach if you use that aircraft for anything ... though it's a fall to not use it, even if you don't use it.

"Darth? @Darth!? @ You've often received permission from the Finance Department."

"Besides being a member of the military department, I am basically a researcher, so I will spare no money to search for new things .... I just completed a renovated Alice-type amphibious battleship that almost recreated an Alice-type land battleship. Due to the hurry, the budget of the Technical Department is sloppy until this year and again next year, and Koki gave Noah's satellite network broadcasting right to the Russian side free of charge and the diamond mining business right presented from the other side To be honest, it would have been a big problem if the New Metals Development Department had not transferred from the Institute for Next-Generation Sciences. I live with the sales of the development department. "

And worrisome to me is that the Metal Development Department apparently cooperates with Koki and Chernobog quite a bit. Already, some Chernobog members use bodies made of new hardened metals. As a matter of fact, all departments are desperate to contend for surplus items to redeem, but surplus items are allocated preferentially to Koki's place.

Isn't it a regular product that is rather a surplus? But the products for sale seem to be on time for delivery, there is no deterioration in quality, and there is no dressing of purchased materials. Where did he get the surplus and the materials he had? Ellis opened her mouth, offering new tea, as if she had been voiced that she was thinking of such a mysterious alchemy method that Koki and the others were doing.

"This is a rumor, but I have heard that dragons are acting strangely in the G-88 world."

"Weird behavior?"

"It seems that a large flying object was detected by a simple anti-aircraft radar in the Emperor Mercava. The aircraft and the dragon flying nearby were not on the schedule, so a monster warning was issued, and a scramble aircraft intercepted from the nearby air base However, looking at the airspace, a group of dragons was apparently in the process of transporting a container marked with Noah's mark and code.The interceptor pilot returned visually after checking the code. I heard. "

"Actions not in the schedule ... It depends on the weather, but where is the department that uses the code listed by the way. Is it metal development department?"

"It's a medical department container that was delayed due to bad weather. And another thing, I've confirmed, but remember the Linked Bull Empire?"

"Well, that country was hijacked by that dorne."

"Yes. Noah's C-type ship was docked at the port of the Linked Bull Empire for about two days with a large container full of containers. He said he was evacuating. By the way, the alarm was a false alarm. "

"What is the code for the container?"

"The G-88 was a support item for the poor requested by the World Politics Department. The contents are food and medicine, etc. There are no problems. The number of containers transported was 32 and the requested amount arrived on time. However, if the C-ship is fully loaded, it should carry 35 containers. "

"In other words, if you load three more containers while docked at the port of Linked Bull and they arrive, they disappear somewhere?"

"That's right, but the captain said that when loaded on the ship, the captain seemed to be full because 32 pieces were improperly balanced and were loaded differently than usual."

An unscheduled medical department container ... a political department container that disappeared somewhere ... Certainly there is nothing wrong with it, it is common for the G-88 to delay transportation and evacuate due to misinformation. And there is no point in cooperating with the Metals Development Department because both the medical and politics departments, which have headquarters in the G-88, have completely separate budgets.

However, this strange feeling is ───. It remained on my mind until Ellis let her fleet arrive on the ice shelf.
