A War Hero With No Regrets - Chapter 50



50 – Hidden behind the justification (3)

Four months after the official dissolution of Fort Graveyard.

“Manager Charlotte Evergreen.”

“….”

“… Charlotte Evergreen!!”

“Ah, ah yes!”

“Why are you like this these days? “Your mind is completely occupied elsewhere.”

Charlotte Evergreen, wearing a white gown, stood in the basement of a huge laboratory.

Director Isaac Offen clucks his tongue at the sight of him suddenly coming to his senses after being yelled at once.

The backbone of the Imperial Army’s future technology and a key department of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

He was the director of the Future Military Technology Research Institute.

“His Excellency the President has entrusted this task to you in a special way… “If you keep acting like this, I’ll be in trouble too.”

“I’m sorry, Director.”

“Tsk… “If you’re sorry, please come to your senses from next time.”

Director Isaac added in a disapproving voice.

Of course, there was another reason why he reacted this way.

This is because the project that Colonel Charlotte Evergreen is currently in charge of is a system that will play the most important role in leading the next generation of the Imperial Army.

aaa type tactical command system project.

Also known as Project Oracle.

A leading figure who led the empire to victory, and a symbol of hope that provided the beginning of a reversal for humanity, which had been pushed to the brink of ruin.

In conjunction with the ultra-advanced quantum computer Akasha, more intuitive battlefield information is provided to field commanders.

As the name ‘Oracle’ suggests, it was a project to centralize Akyasha’s computer system, which was installed in each fortress and operated individually.

If this project is realized, humanity will be able to reach a level never before imagined.

Technologies realized in the future will be able to be implemented at an earlier time.

Any future disaster or tragedy can be prevented at an early stage.

This is a project that is certain to not only apply to the military, but also have a significant impact in the private sector.

So, it is not for nothing that Director Isaac reprimands Charlotte.

Not only did it require highly complex computational work, but it was also the first pilot of the Oracle project.

“You sang a song about wanting to be a pilot, so I let you do it. “You have to do well.”

Mr.

Charlotte struggled to swallow the swear words that almost came to the back of her throat.

What kind of song do you sing?

Who is the person who hinted that he would speak well to the President, saying that there was no one else who could do it, that he had to set an example as the person in charge, and that he would speak well to the President?

However, she is a skilled member of society, and she is Charlotte who faithfully followed even Luther’s Ethan, who gave him even more outrageous instructions.

We can never give in to this kind of old-fashioned behavior.

Of course, in her eyes, both of them were just idiots living in their own world, but that’s what she said.

“Still, the results are coming out well. “Didn’t you see the report yesterday?”

“Yes, just do it that way. And tomorrow was the test run, right?”

“Yes.”

“Try well. If something goes wrong with your body, stop operating immediately. “Don’t be rude and get hurt somewhere.”

Major Isaac turned his back and disappeared into the distance.

“Eat this, old man.”

Charlotte lifted her middle finger toward the back of her small intestine’s head, and she walked in the opposite direction.

Even though she left the Grave Yard, her personality was like Charlotte Evergreen.

Returning to her office, Charlotte laid her body down on her chair.

“Haaa….”

She was slowly feeling helpless.

Is this correct?

When she first arrived at the Future Military Technology Institute, she was very happy.

Isn’t this the job she’s been dreaming of for so long?

She was able to access various weapons and new equipment before others.

Her name was Charlotte Evergreen, who seemed to come from a noble old noble family (she was actually from a count family. Of course, she lost any real power after the Fuhrer came to power).

Unexpectedly, she was a sad ‘Mildeok’ who was second to none.

From firearms to tanks and aviation weapons.

He was a serious technocrat who believed that the development of military technology would advance human civilization.

But the reality of the technical institute that she actually entered was enough to shatter her illusions.

Overtime, overtime, overtime, overtime.

The weapons we want to see are scattered throughout the facility without even being properly assembled.

With the end of the war, the planned projects were abandoned one after another.

The reason was that she did not have the budget to invest in weapons as the war was coming to an end.

If the President had not personally saved the Oracle project she was currently in charge of, it would have been buried underground and become an intractable mess.

Wow.

Charlotte Evergreen looked at the huge mechanical device visible through the office window.

A computer that emits a heavy buzzing sound fills a space in a hangar where giant weapons for the Titans were originally scheduled to be manufactured.

Oracle.

It is a machine that boasts much higher performance than the ultra-advanced quantum computer Akasha distributed in each fortress.

Unlike Akasha, which used the classic input/output method, the feature was that the subject could directly access the server and receive the information sensuously.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

We’ll find out tomorrow if that’s true.

Still, I was looking forward to becoming the first test pilot for a technology that will lead the future.

What will the future of humanity be like after the end of the war?

Isn’t this a utopian life that only appears in old novels?

A world where everyone lives a happy daily life and is full of laughter.

Charlotte Evergreen stretched her legs.

I thought that in a world like that, I would be less likely to say swear words without realizing it.

***

The next day.

Including Isaac Offen, head of the Future Military Technology Research Institute, and the head of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, a superior agency.

And a group of people, including prominent figures who are making a name for themselves in the private sector, gathered in front of the 8th Hangar of the Research Institute of Technology.

“Nice to meet you, guests. “This is Colonel Charlotte Evergreen, the executive director of the Oracle project.”

Dressed in a pure white gown, Charlotte Evergreen began her explanation to the gathered people.

Oracle Project.

With this, humans will be able to break away from the set flow of time and be reborn as superior beings.

The attack by the Titans, which took billions of lives around the world, could have definitely been prevented if the future had been known.

Charlotte was convinced that she had such an important mission.

That’s why he endured all of Isaac’s rude behavior and didn’t take out the resignation letter he had stuffed in his arms.

“This concludes the explanation. And now is the time….”

Anyway, the explanation was something that even these people knew.

This is the project that the President is most interested in, and at the same time, it is a project that can further strengthen the Akasha system, the empire’s greatest masterpiece.

“There are 5 minutes left until Oracle starts operating.”

The project team member assisting Charlotte checked the time and said.

“Then, after we prepare, we will start the test right away.”

“I wish you good luck, Colonel.”

Clap clap clap clap.

Thunderous applause filled the hangar.

They were sincerely wishing Charlotte Evergreen success.

Safety inspection has been completed.

Although it is not a test pilot, clinical trials using chimpanzees, which have a genetic structure most similar to humans, have been completed.

It may not be possible to achieve 100% results from the beginning, but let’s focus on officially operating it first.

Everyone had that thought.

Beep, beep, beep.

“Disconnect quickly!!”

“Chief!! Manager!! “Come to your senses!!”

“Medical officer!! Call me quickly! What kind of blood… !!”

Until Charlotte Evergreen was taken away less than 10 minutes after being put into the experiment.

***

Where am I?

The place where Charlotte Evergreen opened her eyes was a pure white space.

Nothing existed there.

A space of nothingness that is so empty that it is scary.

What’s wrong?

As it is the first startup, it may take time to build the system.

At that time, Charlotte was looking at the endless white horizon with her arms crossed.

“I have to do it.”

Someone’s voice rang in her ears.

“f*ck, surprise!!”

When Charlotte looked behind her in surprise, there was a huge fortress there.

It was not just a fortress.

A familiar fortress that looks like a huge tombstone standing tall.

Graveyard.

From noble mtl dot com

“Why is this here… ?”

At that time, she was about to take her steps towards her fortress with an expression of confusion on her face.

The vision in front of my eyes began to change rapidly.

What followed the Graveyard was the headquarters of Branberg, Eastern Military District.

Taang!

A gunshot rings out, and a woman in a red dress falls to her floor.

“What, what!”

Charlotte hesitated for a moment with a puzzled expression.

I saw a man wiping his eyes and passing a woman lying on the bed.

“Forget about me and live happily.”

My heart ached at the sound of that voice.

I couldn’t figure out why.

Just looking at it takes my breath away.

“Seo, are the settings wrong? Stop the experiment immediately… !”

At that moment, Charlotte Evergreen realized one thing.

Obviously, the Oracle project is a system that predicts the future and informs you to prepare for it.

Then this is… Does this mean it will happen in the future?

Terrorism? Attack? Dispute?

She was about to urgently stop her experiment due to the changes in her body, but she corrected her posture again.

Then the background changes again.

The place that appeared this time was the capital, Hohenvaren.

A man in a suit was facing another man.

The faces of people whose faces had been vaguely blurred until now were finally visible clearly.

“President Mikhail… ?”

However, the person facing the President was someone he had never seen before.

It was an old man with a bushy white beard, and his face was distorted with anger.

“If only we could condemn those heinous politicians… If only we could throw the evil people who only know how to enrich themselves into hell… “I’m ready to make a deal with the devil.”

“I will make it happen. Just do what you promised. “Then wouldn’t I also gain something?”

“Of course, Your Excellency. “I will make sure there is nothing wrong with your safety.”

“Keep in mind that the promised signal is the moment the requiem sounds. There won’t be many opportunities to kill the president. “This will be the first and last time.”

“Thank you so much.”

The President and the old man held hands.

Charlotte Evergreen just stared blankly at the scene.
