Chapter 335 The Old Fox Meets
There are only two people in the captain's room: Malu and Bucky Lulu.
"What should I do?" Ma Liu asked Baji Lulu with a complex expression. She has been with him all the way until now. It would be fake to have no feelings. Moreover, Baji Lulu, like herself, has a complicated relationship with Yang Hui. love.
Due to Yang Hui's influence, Bucky Lulu did not have a bad relationship with Ma Liu in the original plot. On the contrary, the two of them were still close friends in private, so she did not pack her bags directly like in the original plot. , accepted the order from the top management and left the Archangel.
"We... are soldiers." Baji Lulu has been using this reason to convince herself.
But it was really difficult. Along the way, Yang Hui opened his eyes. Baji Lulu also discovered many things that were wrong with the military's top brass, such as this inquiry. No, it should be said to be an interrogation. It was obvious that they had gone all the way. They fought hard to reach Alaska. In every battle, the enemy's and ours' combat power were so disparate that it was a miracle that they could even come back.
Not only did Naihe not welcome them, but they were treated like prisoners. This made Bucky Lulu feel chilled and even more disappointed with the top military officials.
But Baji Lulu still remembers her identity as a soldier and adheres to military discipline, so... she still plans to accept the transfer order.
"Natal..."
"Of course, I can only speak for myself. As for the thoughts of Major Flaca and Private Alsta, I will not interfere." Kilulu said.
"...Major Flaka should also accept the transfer order, but Fleur...sigh."
When it comes to Fleur, Malu and Bucky Lulu couldn't help but sigh. They were really distressed. This poor girl saw her father killed in battle and became homeless. Then her boyfriend also entered the MIA list. She wanted to get back together with her ex-boyfriend but was rejected, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
After losing everything, Fleur only has the Archangel left, and only a group of familiar people can bring her a sense of security and support.
"But...even if she doesn't want to leave the Archangel, there's nothing she can do about it." Baji Lulu said with a bitter smile, "This transfer order was issued directly from the headquarters, and we...can't refuse even if we want to. Possibly, unless defection"
"Indeed..."
...
While Malu and Bucky Lulu were still worrying about how to help Frey stay on the Archangel, deep underground at the Alaska base, final preparations were being made.
"How is the situation?"
"It's going very well. Everything will start and end as planned."
Dark environment, gloomy smile, a conspiracy About to unfold.
......
Orb welcomed a special guest. A Voscuro-class submarine mothership of the ZAFT army docked at the port of Hatsushima. Under the protection of heavy troops, Yang Hui sent Aslan and Dia Brother and Nicol were handed back to the ZAFT army.
"First meeting...is that correct? Your Excellency Yang Hui."
"This is indeed the first meeting, Captain Cruze."
Yang Hui and Cruze , the two biggest behind-the-scenes chess players in the world finally faced each other for the first time.
"Thank you for taking care of my men."
"Our country is only acting in accordance with international law, Captain Cruze is welcome."
"Then I will take them back, thank you Your warm reception."
"Are you leaving now? I have also prepared a welcome banquet for Captain Cruze and the soldiers of the ZAFT Army."
" I'm really sorry, Your Excellency Yang Hui, the military order is urgent and we must return immediately."
"That is indeed a pity. To be honest, I have admired Captain Cruze's name for a long time, and I hope to communicate more with Captain Cruze."
"I am the same, but it is a pity that time does not allow it. , after the war, if conditions permit, I may come to visit you."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Farewell. >"Farewell."
The first "friendly" exchange between Yang Hui and Kruse ended with a handshake, and Yang Hui looked at Aslan and others again.
"Take care, Aslan, Nicol and Diego too."
"Take care."
The three responded at the same time, although they all Orb's prisoners, except for Nigel who was captured by Yang Hui himself, Aslan and Diego were both saved by Orb, and not only did they not face any difficulties when Orb was recuperating, but they were also delicious. Drinking and offering sacrifices prevented them from feeling disgusted with Aub and Yang Hui at this time. As he watched the Voscuro-class submarine mothership leave the port under the escort of the fleet, Yang Hui kept a mysterious smile on his lips.
Returning directly to the Ministry of National Defense, Huang and Wang Liumei found Yang Hui.
"How do you feel about your first contact?" Huang asked Yang Hui.
"Old fox." Yang Hui covered his forehead, his tone mixed with depression and exhaustion.
The first contact between Yang Hui and Kruze seemed to be a friendly conversation, but only the two of them knew how many overt and covert attacks were hidden in the short exchange.
In the beginning, Kruse explicitly thanked Yang Hui for taking care of his own people, but in fact he was mocking Orb for using small tricks to make ZAFT suffer a big loss, while Yang Hui tactfully told Kruse that Orb They still adhere to the international neutrality law and their actions are reasonable and legal.
Then Yang Hui hoped that Kruse would stay and have more contact, but Kruse also refused on the grounds of military orders, which was a hint to Yang Hui that the ZAFT army's operation was about to begin, and they had no time to delay.
This is also to quietly disclose the information to Yang Hui. On the one hand, it is to express apology for not being able to accept the invitation, and on the other hand, it is to show goodwill to Yang Hui and show that there is the possibility of cooperation between them.
"It seems that he disappointed you." Huang and Wang Rumei covered their mouths and chuckled.
"No, on the contrary." Yang Hui retorted, with a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, "He is already moved, otherwise he would not take the initiative to leak information to us. There is still only one opportunity left."
"Our true strength?" Wang Liumei asked.
"That's right." Yang Hui stood up and looked out the window, "He is moved, but he doesn't believe in us or think highly of us yet, so he is waiting, waiting for us to reveal all our trump cards to see if we are qualified. Let him give up his crazy plan and cooperate with us."
"Or continue to speed up his plan to force us to reveal our trump card," Huang added. In Yang Hui's description, Cruze is a madman. He is not completely crazy. His madness comes from his limited lifespan. Because Cruze is a clone and born with a shortage of mitochondria, his lifespan is very short.
As long as he can continue his life, his madness will be solved.
But here’s the problem. The shortage of mitochondria in cloned humans is not a cold or a fever. If you say it can be cured, it can be cured. Cruze also has a friend who is an expert in the genetic field, but they can’t solve Cruze’s problem. The pain could only be delayed by developing special medicines, so he did not believe that Yang Hui and others had the ability to solve his mitochondrial shortage.
He was excited because there was no way to go, and he wanted to grasp every ray of hope; he didn’t believe it because he didn’t understand Yang Hui. In Cruze’s eyes, Yang Hui was always shrouded in a strong sense of love. The mist made him unable to see through it. The more he got to know Yang Hui, the more he felt a sense of dissonance, but he could not explain the origin of this sense of dissonance.
"It seems that both of us have no time." Wang Liumei teased, the world is about to be in chaos, Orb's test is coming, Kruse's deadline is approaching, and Yang Hui and others must win over Kruse Gain his trust before he dies, so there's no time to waste for both parties.
"Lacus sent a message that Kira Yamato has been received." Immediately afterwards, Wang Liumei reported the important information received in the past few days to Yang Hui and Huang.
"Is that done?" Yang Hui asked.
"It's completed, there are four machines."
"Four machines?" Hearing this, Yang Hui frowned.
"Yes, the construction plan is for five machines. 09, 10, 11, and 12 have been completed, and 13 is not far away from completion."
"Are we still following the original plan?" Huang asked Yang Hui.
"Well, just follow the original plan and let Lux give 10 to Kira when the opportunity arises."
"Do you need the other four machines..."
"No Required.”
"Your memory can only be a reference, not reality."
"I know, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if they are both enemies." The first Orb defense battle between the two top powers in the world In a large-scale war, even if it is an ace machine, single digits can hardly affect the battle situation. Even if Aslan becomes the enemy, Kira does not help Orb, Yang Hui is confident to withstand one or two attacks, and then bring the fire take off.
“But in this case, Lux will be completely exposed.” Wang Liumei said with a serious expression.
Except for the three people present, no one knew that Lux established the moderate secret organization [Terminal] with the help of Yang Hui and others, and no one knew that Lux had actually always been [Celestial Being] 】 is a member of Wang Liumei's most senior intelligence personnel placed in PLANT, and is responsible for all the agents placed by [Celestial Being] in PLANT.
That’s why Wang Liumei disagrees with Yang Hui’s instructions. It’s just to hand over the new machine body to Kira and win over Kira. It’s not worth exposing Lacus. Once Lacus is exposed, their many years in PLANT will be ruined. The layout will suffer heavy losses.
"Even if he is not exposed, Lux has to evacuate. The radicals have an absolute advantage. Old Sara is not Aslan. He has just taken over the position of speaker and there are still some restrictions. When he takes full power, the first The target is Siegel, and then Lux, so it makes no difference whether he is exposed or not."
"I understand." Wang Lumei nodded, "I will send a letter to Lux and ask her to do it. Get ready, all PLANT agents are silent, and Siegel's evacuation plan is also ready."
"Well, let's arrange it this way, and focus on reminding the monster not to act like a monster."
"Hehehehe..." Huang and Wang Rumei covered their mouths and laughed after hearing this. They knew that Yang Hui had been calling Lacus "La Yao" behind his back, not only because Lacus was indeed a monster, but also because Lacus was not He likes to play his cards according to common sense and always likes to do things that surprise people.
“By the way, we have found out some clues about the identity of Mentor Marchio.”
