Chapter 256 The Pink Princess
The next day, Siegel Klein held a press conference as agreed and publicly issued an apology statement for the collapse of [Heliopolis]. At the same time, it was announced that a settlement agreement had been reached with Orb and the compensation terms were announced.
However, Sigurd Klein still used a small trick. After doing all this, he also made it public that the Earth Army used Orb's neutral territory as a cover to develop mobile suits, and Claiming this incident as the main reason for the collapse of [Heliopolis], he called on the Earth Army to also apologize to Orb and make compensation as one of the participants in the collapse of [Heliopolis].
“This old fox.” Wang Liumei felt a headache from this. She thought she had won a comprehensive victory, but she didn’t expect that she would be tricked by these old foxes in the end.
Now, Orb is about to face the full oppression of the Earth Federation, especially the Atlantic Federation. Compared with PLANT, the Atlantic Federation can really be called a "madman".
It maintains a strong military force and has always adopted the attitude of "If you don't accept it, I will beat you until you do" in diplomatic matters. Moreover, the top military leaders of the Atlantic Federation are basically people from [Blue Cosmos], and their attitude towards adjusters is very They are sharp, and have always been oppressive towards other countries that do not share their hatred of adjusters, especially Orb where natural people and adjusters live together.
Now Sigal Klein has announced the news of the reconciliation between Orb and PLANT, and even beat up the Earth Army. PLANT is far away, and ZAFT is at a stalemate. They have no way, but Orb Bu Ke is a soft persimmon who is easy to bully.
Thinking of this, Wang Liumei immediately sent a message to Orb on Earth, especially to contact her father in this world and Yang Hui's father, asking them to immediately contact other neutral countries, as well as the United East Asia and South Africa United Earth member states that have good relations with Orb, such as the Unified Agency, support them in resisting the oppression of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation.
And she herself has to return to Orb as soon as possible, otherwise, her father and Yang Hongyu alone may not be able to withstand it.
“You’re leaving now? Can’t you stay a few more days?” Lenoa Sara reluctantly persuaded her to stay. Although she had seen the news and apology statement and thought about the deeper level, After all, Wang Rumei is still a girl. Shouldn't adults worry about this kind of thing? It was already difficult for her to go to PLANT alone for diplomatic negotiations.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Sarah, I have to return to Orb."
"Okay, if you have the chance, come to PLANT as a guest again, and bring the Emperor with you next time."
"Okay, Mrs. Sara, I'll take my leave first."
Wang Liumei said goodbye to Lenoa Sara and went directly to the space port, where she happened to meet Aslan on his way back to the team.
"Wang Liumei? Are you leaving?"
"Yes, there are still things that need to be dealt with in the country. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it is time to go back."
"I don't know when we will see you next time."
"There is a chance. Are you going to return to the team?"
"Yes." Aslan nodded and whispered to Wang Rumei, "Lux's ship is missing."
“How?”
"I don't know. My unit immediately set off to launch a rescue operation."
"I hope you can find Lux."
"Thank you."
"Then let's do this Say goodbye."
"Okay."
Wang Liumei separated from Aslan and boarded the shuttle back to Orb.
“If you set out now, aren’t you afraid of something unexpected happening on the way back?”
“That’s why you’re accompanying me as my escort, isn’t it? Tieria.”
The person who has been waiting for Wang Liumei's return in the shuttle is Tieria. This trip will definitely affect the relationship between Orb and PLANT. In order to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall, Tieria was allowed to accompany him as a guard.
Of course, Tieria is not just traveling alone. This shuttle is much larger than an ordinary shuttle. Behind the cabin is the container that holds the mobile suit, and Tieria's body is inside.
At the same time, Huang led Setsuna and Lyle to wait not far from the PLANT colonial satellite group. In the event of an emergency, Tieria could also bring Wang Liumei to join Huang and others and retreat safely.
But now...it's not ZAFT that needs to be guarded against, but the people of the United Earth.
"By the way, Yang Hui sent a message, asking us to go to the wreckage area immediately and wait."
"Is this the time now..." Wang Liumei frowned slightly, not that she thought the timing was bad. , as long as Yang Hui needs it, there is no problem in putting herself in danger. At worst, she can return to PLANT immediately or stay for a while. What she is worried about is whether Yang Hui is in danger.
The emperor, Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria are the biggest trump cards that Yang Hui keeps. According to their plan, they are not exposed at this stage. However, Yang Hui took the initiative to summon them to dispatch, which means that the time has come. It has reached the point where it has to be used, then...
"After rendezvous, let's go to the designated coordinates immediately."
"What about your safety?"
"I can go with the ship, and Orb's affairs can be left to Orb's people first. Resist for a while. "
"...Will this affect Yang Hui's plan? "
"When you received the communication, the plan had already changed. I believe Sister Huang had already changed it. Corrections made. ”
"...Okay."
Without wasting any time, the shuttle immediately set off, leaving PLANT's territory and rendezvousing with the silent transport ship.
“You are back.”
“Well, Sister Huang, has the plan correction been completed?”
“It has been completed. There is a high probability that we will be exposed in advance, but Yang Hui instructed us to act as mercenaries first. You need to rush back to Orb immediately. The Atlantic Federation will definitely put pressure on Orb..."
"It doesn't matter. I have already sent a message to him and Yang Hongyu, which can last for a while."
"That's good, we will set off immediately."
"Yes."...
Looking to the other side, the Archangel has entered the wreckage area at this time, and...
As expected, the Archangel picked up the escape capsule in which Lux was riding. However, unlike the original plot, the long-distance forced reconnaissance reconnaissance type [Jean] that came to find Lux was not directly defeated. Instead, he was captured by the Archangel after losing his ability to fight.
Two ZAFT pilots were temporarily detained, while Lux was questioned by Malu, Bucky Lulu and Mu. However... Yang Hui also participated in this questioning. After all, Lux was leaving the pilot. Yang Hui greeted him immediately after the cabin. It was obvious that they had known each other since early in the morning.
"Thank you for bringing back my escape pod. I am Lux Klein." The beautiful and gentle girl sat in front of the four people without any fear. Instead, she was calm and gentle, not because the other person was The Earth Army was scared. The white sleeveless dress highlighted her pure temperament, and the golden hairpin on her long pink hair looked cute.
"Hello, Lux, Hello." In the process of introducing himself, Harrow, who was held in the palm of Lax's hand, flapped his ears "Puff, Puff, Puff" to let everyone not ignore his existence.
“This is my friend, Hello.” Of course, Lux did not forget Haro, and enthusiastically introduced Malu and the three of them.
"Hello, hello, you too."
"Oh..."
"That's enough..."
Ma Liu and Mu both felt very headaches , while Bucky Lulu was thinking a lot.
They don’t know Lux, but they know the surname Klein, the surname of Speaker PLANT. If they guessed correctly...
"Klein... PLANT's current Supreme Council Speaker, I remember his name is Siegel Klein."
"Ah! Siegel Klein is really my father, you know him Him?"
"Uh...sigh..."
When asked by Lux with a natural and cute expression, the three of them felt that their brains were aching, secretly. Sigh, Lux is really a rich young lady who doesn’t understand the world. Haven’t you figured out what’s going on now?
"Hey, why does such a young lady come here?" Ma Liu asked.
"I came here to prepare for the memorial ceremony for [Julius 7]. Later, our ship encountered the Earth Army's ship..."
When the three of them heard this, they roughly guessed what would happen next.
As expected, they asked for an inspection, and Lux agreed, but she became unhappy after learning their purpose. In the end, the dispute escalated into a conflict. Under the protection of the entourage, the eldest lady entered the escape cabin and escaped. , and then picked up by them.
Hearing this, the three of them glanced at Yang Hui with complicated expressions.
In this regard, Yang Hui could only shrug. The Earth Army's actions had long been expected, even for civilian ships. The attitude towards the adjusters would not be based on civilians or status. changes occur.
The inquiry ended here, and Lux was told to stay in the room and not move around the ship. Yang Hui was once again dragged to the captain's office by the three of them to discuss how to deal with Lux.
"Sure enough, let's find an opportunity to send her away. This young lady's identity is too sensitive..." Mu suggested.
"Oh, isn't this the surprise mentioned in the intelligence? This is too..." To be honest, Ma Liu's intestines are filled with regret now. If he had known that what was waiting for them would be a hot potato, No matter what, she would never agree to pass through the wreckage area.
"I personally suggest that she be taken into custody and handed over to the military brass after arriving at the lunar base. As the daughter of Sigurd Klein, she has unimaginable use value..." Bucky Lulu's opinion is in line with the approach of the Atlantic Federation. From the position of an Earth soldier, it is indeed correct, but...
"I'm sorry, if possible, can you hand her over to me?" Yang Hui requested. .
"You? What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. She is my friend. I don't want to see her fall into the hands of the Earth Army, especially the Atlantic Federation."
< br>"This is not possible..."
"I approve."
"Captain!"
"Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, I really can't see such a girl being used by the military's upper echelons. You should imagine what will happen to her." Malu persuaded. As an Earth Army, of course she knew Bucky Lulu's The approach was correct, but...she couldn't accept such a lovely girl being treated inhumanely, even if the girl's identity was important.
"This is a very important figure to the Earth Army. If it can be handed over to the top military officials, do you know how much benefit it can gain for the Earth Army?"
"Just because you know, so I just asked you to hand her over to me."
Yang Hui did not use his righteousness to persuade Bucky Lulu, he just asked them in the name of Lacus's friend.
"Second Lieutenant Bakki Lulu, I approve, let's handle this matter like this." Seeing that Bakki Lulu still wanted to argue, Ma Liu simply decided.
"..." No matter how helpless Baji Lulu is, she can't change the outcome. The first level of the official is overwhelming. Who calls Ma Liu the captain? And she has a share of the credit. But in this situation, the mantra is to run away. No more, "I will report this matter to the superiors truthfully."
"I will bear all the responsibilities."
At the end of the conversation, Bucky Lulu glared hatefully Yang Hui glanced at him and left alone.
Yang Hui was a little depressed because he felt an inexplicable resentment from Bucky Lulu's glare, and he didn't know what was going on.
However, after confirming Lacus's handling, Yang Hui came to Lacus' room again.
"Ah, Yang Hui, are you back? Are you okay? I'm a little hungry, can I go eat?"
"...Can you stop acting in front of me? Lux."
