Chapter 1043 Competition Location (Happy Children's Day!)
Dear friends, Happy Children's Day~!

Hearing Killiam's words, Lin Youde did not have much emotional fluctuations, and his reaction was quite flat.

"Is it finally confirmed?"

"So, what is the specific charter?"

"How many teams will each of the three major countries participate in?"

"The time is set, and you come to me, these things have been set, right?"

Killiam nodded slightly, and replied: "Yes, these things have been settled."

"Originally, Li Xingke came to contact you about these matters, but recently, because the power of the four major families has completely disappeared in the unified country, he has a lot of things over there, and he has no time."

"So I took the initiative to ask Ying to contact you."

"And because we had contacted last time, the higher-ups also felt that I was a suitable candidate, so they sent me over."

"So far, apart from you, no one knows that I am an existence from the other world. I hope you will continue to conceal this."

Lin Youde responded on the spot: "No problem, I don't want to be exposed to the fact that the intelligence department has inside information."

Killiam smiled: "You can understand best. Although there is a gap in age between you and I have been in contact with, you are still the same person in essence, and I can trust you."

"Then, let's get to the point and talk about the "True Super Robot Contest". "

"The time of the competition is set for May 5th, and the venue of the competition is set at the Neon Islands."

Lin Youde was stunned for a moment: "Huh? The venue of the event is the Neon Islands? Why is it there? Didn't you just call back from there?"

Killiam replied: "Yes, it is because we have just recovered the lost ground, so the location is set there."

"The specific regulations of the competition have not been finalized before, and it is because of the location of the competition that the three major countries have been arguing endlessly."

"After all, among the participants this time, there will be the strongest mechatronics from each country participating."

"Gathering the strongest airframes of the three major countries together, even if they don't fight, no country can rest assured."

"Once it breaks out, it will definitely be a devastating blow."

"In addition, none of the three major powers can trust anyone, so choosing no man's land is the best choice."

"And the newly conquered Neon Islands are a very good location."

"First of all, apart from the people from the Third New Tokyo City, there are currently no other people surviving in the Old Neon Islands, and it is completely no man's land."

"Secondly, the Neon Islands are the territory of our country, and they have been living outside. After finally recovering, I will take this opportunity to announce to the world that this piece of homeland has been recovered by us. It is a good claim."

"So after you conquered the old Neon Islands, this matter was brought up by our side. What Zhao Zheng wants is probably to take advantage of the general situation to force the Freedom Federation and the Silla Alliance to admit that the Neon Islands belong to our country again."

"And the Neon Islands are very close to the interior of our country. If anything happens, the inland base can quickly support it."

"On the contrary, it is estimated that it will be more difficult for the Freedom Federation and the Silla Alliance to do something because of the distance."

"In short, the higher-ups have considered a lot, and want to maximize the use of your recovery of lost ground to create momentum."

"According to what Li Xingke said when I came here, it seems that Zhao Zheng wants to continue to give you a military rank, so as to prepare for you to go to the universe in the future."

"There is news from the intelligence department that the Caesar of the Silla Alliance, also known as the Nadeshiko A, has been repaired and is scheduled to leave for Mars in the second half of this year."

"Maybe, your itinerary may bump into a collision, so the promotion of military rank is also a kind of insurance."

"One level of official rank crushes people to death. In diplomatic occasions, the level of military rank will also have some other influences."

What Kiliam said made Lin Youde fall into deep thought.

"I generally understand what Zhao Zheng means. I have no objection to his decision. After all, politics is not something I am good at. He has his own considerations, so naturally it is the best."

"However, Kiliam, I'm more curious. Where was the peak duel between the three major powers held before?"

"Why did it take so long to argue this time? It was said before that a competition would be held, but now it's been officially confirmed. It's been a month, right? Isn't this too long?"

Killiam replied: "The previous few non-public competitions were held on a special colonial satellite in the universe."

"That colonial satellite was specially built for this level of competition, and it is heavily guarded for the sake of secrecy. It is usually patrolled jointly by the space forces of various countries, and no one is allowed to participate in non-competition events."

"Originally in this competition, we will also use that colonial satellite for the competition."

"However, this special satellite had an accident in an incident two years ago, which resulted in the complete destruction of the main building and made it unusable."

"The colonial satellite is already expensive, and it cannot be repaired and can only be rebuilt."

"When it comes to reconstruction, it is naturally inseparable from the issue of money."

"The people in charge of the three major countries are arguing over who will pay the money."

"Our Federation of Unification and Freedom has been asking the Silla Alliance to pay for it, but the Silla Alliance is completely unwilling and wants the three major countries to share it equally. Until now, there is no conclusion. Of course, the reconstruction has not been completed."

Lin Youde was a little puzzled: "Why is this happening? Why did we and the Freedom Federation unanimously ask the Silla Alliance to pay for it? Does the damage to the satellite have anything to do with the Silla Alliance?"

Killiam had a weird expression on his face: "You say it's okay, it really doesn't matter, after all, it's not a human-controllable accident."

"But if you want to say that it has nothing to do with it, it was indeed caused by the Silla Alliance."

With Lin Youde's confused expression, Killiam asked: "Do you still remember the Kado who drove the Gundam GP02?"

Lin Youde nodded: "Of course I remember this, after all, that is the guy who used a nuclear bomb for the first time in the game... Wait a minute, you mean?"

Under Lin Youde's surprised expression, Kiliam shrugged and said, "That's right, the place where the meteorite that smashed the space base of the Silla Alliance happened to be near the competition venue."

"The meteorite that suddenly appeared broke through the playing field on the spot, and then smashed through a part of the Silla Alliance's space fortress base."

"This is also one of the reasons why this matter received so much attention at the beginning, because those who really know know how much this accident has caused the three major countries to lose."

Lin Youde nodded: "So that's what happened."

Killiam shrugged: "Anyway, that's what happened."

"Zhao is setting the venue for the game at the Neon Islands, except to prevent the Silla Alliance and the Freedom Federation from doing some disgusting tricks near the venue."

"I personally think that he still wants to use this incident to attract people and the world's attention to the Neon Islands, and contribute to the reconstruction and revival of the Neon Islands."

Hearing this, Lin Youde couldn't help sighing: "After all, he is a superior, he really thinks a lot. He must be quite tired at ordinary times..."
