The devastating explosion that took place in the Pacific Ocean soon spread all over the world.
Obviously, Great Asia and Japan were not the only ones with satellites that detected the conflict. In addition, Fangzheng deliberately did not keep it a secret, so the news about the Destiny Gundam and the destructive strategic magic quickly spread.
Of course, strictly speaking, this was Fangzheng's incitement to Great Asia to add fuel to the fire.
This war could be regarded as a win-win situation for both sides. For Japan, they had stopped the invasion and kept their territory.
For Great Asia, this was also worth celebrating.
With the end of the war, the Goryeo and Vietnamese forces in the Great Asia Alliance, which had been jumping up and down, suffered a serious blow. Their fleets were completely annihilated, and their personnel suffered heavy casualties. They were also completely defeated. This made the people of the two regions seethe with resentment and dissatisfaction, so the representatives of the pro-war faction had to take responsibility and step down.
On the other hand, the Burly Han side, because they had long been in cahoots with Fangzheng, had firmly expressed their opposition to the joint war with the new Soviet Union before the war began. Therefore, they took advantage of this defeat to successfully seize the leadership of the Great Asia Alliance. It could be said that they had fought a turnaround. After all, the sneak attack on the Burly Han was not a crime of war, but this time, it was a complete strategic mistake. The representatives of Vietnam and Goryeo had no room to defend themselves. They could only obediently leave.
After gaining the leadership, the Burly Han forces immediately launched a bold reform of the alliance. On the one hand, they signed a truce agreement with Japan, and on the other hand, they carried out a reform of the Great Asia Alliance. One of them was to change the name of the Great Asia Alliance to the Pan-Asia Alliance. After all, the original name was thought up by those monkeys, and it was not in line with the idea of making a fortune in silence. Therefore, they took advantage of this reform to change the name ….
In order to appease the public opinion within the Pan-Asia Alliance, they naturally publicized the existence of the Destiny Gundam. This was a little strange in the eyes of other countries and forces. After all, they had never seen the defeated party happily beating drums and gongs all over the streets, as if they wanted the whole world to know how they were defeated.
However, the Pan-Asia Alliance's explanation was to tell the people that "it's not that our army is not strong, but that the other side has Gundam" to appease the public opinion …. This was not unreasonable.
No matter what Pan-Asia was up to, at least with their deliberate propaganda, the whole world knew of the existence of Destiny Gundam. This also made the Japanese government gnash their teeth in hatred. They originally thought that the other party would hide all of this in order to avoid shaking the morale of the military. Just like the battle on Okinawa three years ago, as long as no one said anything, the secret weapon would remain a secret forever.
However, they didn't expect that this time, Pan-Asia had to make it known to everyone. This time, Japan had to become very passive.
Of course, the most miserable was the new Soviet Union. The Pacific Fleet was wiped out, and their influence in East Asia was greatly reduced. Moreover, the Pan-Asian side also added insult to injury, claiming that they were the ones who proposed this joint operation, but in the end, they couldn't even do the most basic intelligence investigation properly. They even caused the loss of two military regions' fleets. This also caused the reputation of the new Soviet Union to plummet to the bottom.
As for Fangzheng, after returning to Yokohama, he and the Destiny Gundam were immediately taken away by the military for a thorough interrogation and investigation.
However, the result left the Japanese military helpless.
"In other words … it's not the effect of any weapon, but the power of Haruhiko's own magic after it was enhanced?"
Looking at the investigation report in front of him, Genshin Fuuma frowned and asked. Second Lieutenant Fujibayashi, who was standing in front of him, nodded.
"Yes, we've checked it as well. There are no military-grade weapons or similar devices on the plane. According to Haruhino-kun, the reason why he was able to defeat the Alliance Fleet in one strike was because of a system called the 'Psychic Energy Skeleton'. It can enhance a Magician's magic for a short period of time and then release it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure."
Speaking until here, Second Lieutenant Teng Lin revealed a bitter smile.
"Because Haruhiko showed his strength in front of us …. Frankly speaking, it's not something we can resist at all."
"Compared to Lieutenant Big Black?"
The "Big Black" mentioned by Genshin Fuuma was Shiboda, who had changed his name to "Big Black Dragon".
"It's hard to say if the two of them are compared, but he's a very powerful mage himself."
"Is that so …."
Genshin Fuuma closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He then looked at Second Lieutenant Fujibayashi.
"In fact, the higher-ups are considering removing Lieutenant Big Black from the list."
"Huh? Why is that …. Wait, because of fate? "
Hearing Genshin Fuuma's answer, Second Lieutenant Fujibayashi was shocked, but she immediately understood.
"That's right."
Genshin Fuuma nodded.
"You and I both know that the greatest use of Lieutenant Big Black's existence lies in his deterrence as a strategic mage."
"But now, this deterrence is no longer the only one …."
"Yes, and I heard that the branch family of the Four Leaves Family also said that they seem to think that Special Officer Big Black's mental condition isn't too stable. They couldn't do anything before, but now that they have a replacement, it's not a good thing to let Special Officer Big Black continue to exist."
"But …."
Second Lieutenant Fujibayashi didn't know what to do. Of course, she understood why the higher-ups would think this way. After all, Si Boda was also a human, and if he was a human, his mental condition would be unstable, and he might even be a threat. However, Fate was just a weapon. Although they had discovered that it was impossible to wield Fate unless it was a powerful Magician, the requirements were still much lower. After all, which country didn't have a few powerful Magicians?
The Gundam was a weapon, a machine. A machine had no self-consciousness, and it didn't have a heart, so it could be controlled.
But it was hard to say for a person …. An existence that was powerful enough to destroy the world would always make the higher-ups wary.
Besides, even without Si Boda, wasn't there still Haruhino? With him as the leader, they could train a few more mages to operate the mecha. Its power wouldn't be much worse than Si Boda's, and it would be easier to control. No matter how powerful a strategic mage was, he was only one person. If he was defeated, it would have a huge impact on the people, just like the fall of a guardian god.
But on the other hand, if the machine was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. Even if they didn't have as many spare parts as they wanted, at least they wouldn't have too few.
"But …. Do we really have to … eliminate Special Lieutenant Big Black?"
Although she understood, the thought of getting rid of the donkey after it was no longer of use still made Second Lieutenant Fujibayashi a little unhappy.
"Of course not. Although there's a potential threat, eliminating the Generals without a concrete reason will only bring trouble. But in the current situation …. we only have one choice."
Genshin Fuuma obviously didn't want Si Boda to really be removed from the list. After all, Si Boda was still his subordinate. So, Genshin Fuuma used many methods to change the outcome. In the end, the higher-ups changed their decision, which made him feel somewhat relieved. Although he wasn't naive enough to think that the other party wouldn't make a move against Si Boda again. Strictly speaking, this was a test for Si Boda, to determine if he was still willing to serve the country.
For Genshin Fuuma, this was the only thing he could do now.
Soon, Fangzheng also received the news.
"Exchange students?"
Fangzheng looked at the document in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and raised his head to stare at Sibo Shenxue. The latter unmistakably showed an unhappy expression.
"That's right …. This is a proposal from the United States. We'll accept it."
Sibo Shenxue was quite unhappy. She of course understood what was going on. Although the Four-Leaf Family had collapsed, and the remaining branches were not enough to maintain the influence and intelligence network of the Four-Leaf Family, Sibo Shenxue was not a fool. She had already guessed that this must have something to do with the large robot developed by Fangzheng.
But the reason given by the higher-ups was impeccable. The exchange student was a high school girl from the Four-Leaf Family, so as a condition of exchange, the Four-Leaf Family naturally had to send a similar person over. As the developer of Destiny Gundam, Fangzheng would definitely not be allowed to go abroad, so Sibo Shenxue, who was ranked below him, was naturally the target of the exchange.
Strictly speaking, Sibo Shenxue was not that unhappy because the higher-ups had agreed to Si Boda's request to go to the United States with her. But when she remembered that the whole thing was caused by Fangzheng, it was hard for her to maintain a good attitude towards this man.
"Not bad. The United States is a good place. It's good to go and enjoy yourself."
Fangzheng put down the document in his hand with a smile. He was not a fool either. When he saw the document, Fangzheng knew that everything he did was effective.
This was normal. When it came to manipulating people, even ten Sibodas were no match for him.
"Enjoy?"
"That's right. Something like Disneyland. It's very suitable for dating and relaxing."
Fangzheng looked at the document in front of him again, ignoring Sibo Shenxue's blushing face when she heard the word "date".
And more importantly … … … … …..
This time, they could forget about coming back after going there.
So, let's have fun.
Fangzheng silently sent a eulogy to the two in his heart.
