When the communication ends, the arc on the surface of the communication equipment jumps, and the operation ends with a "pop". The thin smoke indicates the end of its life.
"Fortunately, it worked, otherwise it would have been troublesome." Yang Hui patted the remains of the equipment, thankful that it could last for so long.
"Who is the other party? A mercenary?" Malu asked.
"Well, the mercenary organization [Serpent's Tail] is a very good mercenary. I have cooperated with them several times. The current mission completion rate is 100%."
"Wait a minute, the helpers you are talking about are not just a group of mercenaries, are they? Can they really help us?" Bucky Lulu questioned Yang Hui's decision, "Also, the Archangel and G..."
"Confidential matters, I know, but..." Yang Hui looked at Bucky Lulu helplessly, "...can you calculate the time, how long has it been since the four Gs were obtained by the ZAFT army?"
"Forehead……"
"The data has been extracted a long time ago, and even PLANT has received it and started researching it. In this case, is [Plan G] still considered confidential?"
"..." Baji Lulu was left speechless by the question.
"Also... excellent mercenaries know what to ask and what not to ask. [Serpent's Tail] is the most professional. They will only focus on the commission and will not inquire about the Archangel's information."
[Tail of the Serpent] and Cong Yungui are the best mercenary organizations in the world. They are not many in number, but they are absolute elites. The mission success rate has always been above 90%. They have always only cared about the content of the commission. They have no regard for others.
They didn’t ask anything about their affairs, and it was precisely because of this that Yang Hui could safely cooperate with them.
Otherwise, even if Cong Yungui is the protagonist of another story line in the world of Gundam SEED, Yang Hui will not feel comfortable cooperating with him. After all, he needs to use mercenaries for tasks that are rarely seen in the light.
"Even so, how much combat effectiveness can mercenaries have? They...wait, is that machine you mentioned before..."
"Um."
"...I still can't agree with it."
"I don't think it's reliable either. The reputation of mercenary organizations has never been very good."
"It's decided, just follow the shortest route, pass through the wreckage area, and go to the lunar base." In the end, Ma Liu agreed with Yang Hui's suggestion.
"captain!"
"Hey, hey, hey, this is no joke."
"I believe Yang Hui, he won't joke, he is also on this ship." Ma Liu explained, "Isn't it difficult to accept the proposal of going to the scrap recycling dealers union to replenish supplies? But we successfully got rid of ZAFT's pursuit.
We have also received enough supplies, and I believe there will be no problems this time."
"..."
This reason made the two of them unable to refute. Maybe it was a matter of vision and knowledge. Most of their ideas followed the rules, while Yang Hui's ideas seemed to be wild and unconstrained, but they were highly executable.
"Then it's decided."
Malu immediately notified the bridge and asked them to reset the course, and the Archangel set sail.
In fact, Ma Liu had another reason not to tell the two of them, that is, she found a sense of security in Yang Hui.
She was suddenly attacked, and Yang Hui helped her; suddenly she became the captain of the Archangel, and Yang Hui supported her; and now, Yang Hui once again made incredible suggestions, but she was still willing to believe Yang Hui, just like before,
She couldn't explain exactly what this sense of security and trust was, but she was willing to make decisions based on her heart.
"That's it, I'm going to rest for a while, I'm exhausted."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
When the three of them saw this, they couldn't say anything more. Yang Hui was not a soldier, but he had helped them a lot. He had been working hard until now, and it was time for him to take a good rest.
However, after returning to his room, Yang Hui locked the door, took out his PAD and sent an encrypted message, and this... was the trump card he finally left behind.
…
Just like in the original plot, Team Cruze had just started to change course to pursue the Archangel. A recall order came from the PLANT mainland. Because of the collapse of [Heliopolis], Orb issued a strong protest. For a moment,
The PLANT Council has entered a state of tension and urgently needs Kruse and Aslan, the only one who was present when [Heliopolis] collapsed, to go back for questioning.
"Now, regarding the collapse of [Haileopolis] in the territory of the United Orb Emirates, a temporary hearing committee is convened..." Sigel Klein, as the speaker, assumed the role of moderator, announced the start of the meeting, and
To introduce to everyone present the special guests who have joined temporarily, "...for this hearing committee, the representative of the United Arab Emirates, Ms. Wang Liumei, will participate in this hearing committee as a special member."
"Please take care of me." Wang Liumei, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, stood up and bowed to the members.
"very young……"
"This is just a child..."
"Aub's country is in ruins. He actually lets his children do diplomacy..."
"It's just ridiculous..."
…
Other members attending the meeting talked a lot, and most of them had a contemptuous attitude towards Wang Liumei.
But Wang Liumei doesn't care at all. Anger is always the last resort to solve problems. She is representing Orb now. Only when she shows her true ability and fights for more benefits for Orb will they know the consequences of being slapped in the face.
How painful.
"First of all, Rau Lu Cruze, we want to hear your report."
"yes."
Kruse, who was sitting aside, stepped forward and made a detailed report on the collapse of [Heliopolis], and also uploaded the battle record.
"The above is the entire process. After listening to the above story, you should be able to understand that the actions of our troops are not to attack [Heliopolis] itself. The root cause of its collapse lies with the Earth Army."
After the report was completed, Kruse returned to his original position and waited, while the participating members also expressed their opinions.
"Sure enough, Orb is colluding with the Earth Army."
"They are the ones who violated the treaty."
"Don't Orb have any explanation for this?"
Pressure came to Wang Liumei, but in her opinion, it was not pressure at all. If it was just Kruse's one-sided words, it would be okay, but with combat records, it is an ironclad fact, which is undeniable.
Modified the battle record? Haha, that will only give Wang Liumei more opportunities to slap them in the face. You have the battle data in your hands, can’t I have it in my hands?
"I have objections to your accusations. I think you have judged Orb to have breached the contract first and objected to colluding with the Earth Army." Wang Liumei responded calmly, keeping a smile on her lips.
"Humph, it's already the truth, and you still refute it. After all, you're just a child..."
"Regardless of age or age, I am representing Aubu now. Congressman, can I think that you are showing contempt for Aubu?" Wang Liumei asked the speaker without changing her expression.
"What did you say!?" The spokesman slapped the table and stood up. In his eyes, Wang Liumei's unchanging smile was the greatest ridicule and contempt for him.
"Quiet! Congressman Elsman, please pay attention to your attitude."
Congressman Elsman's performance was not only to throw his case to the other party, but also to be disrespectful to the hearing committee. Siegel Klein had to scold him sternly.
"cut……"
"Then Miss Wang, please explain your views."
At this time, except for Congressman Elsman, who was scolded, no one else dared to treat Wang Liumei as a child anymore. Even the domineering Padraic Sala paid attention to it. If nothing else,
Just keeping a smile is worthy of their attention.
For a young girl to be able to remain calm and composed even though she is surrounded by old foxes and enemies is a bit of a fantasy.
"First of all, Orb has never colluded with the Earth Army, and has never violated the neutrality treaty. Assisting the Earth Army in developing MS is just an international trade incident. Orb has reached a deal with the Atlantic Federation, and that's it."
"Are you kidding? If developing MS is just a transaction, then what is not a transaction?"
"On September 12, CE69, Orb reached a deal with PLANT. [Shuguang Society] sent technicians to assist the ZAFT army in improving the mass-produced MS [Jean]. Orb received a large amount of rare materials as reward; January 3, CE70
, Orb reached a deal with PLANT to assist in the development of earth-specific mobile suits. Orb learned the [neutron jammer] deployment plan in advance as a reward; on February 14, CE70, due to humanitarian considerations, General Orb and the Earth Army were about to
The information about the attack on [Julius 7] was notified to PLANT in advance. As a result, due to your distrust, the tragedy could not be prevented. However, one of the important members of the Orb took away an important family member present in advance and survived.
, in exchange for someone's verbal friendship; March CE70..."
One after another, from the trade of supplies to the rescue of important personnel and the development of mobile suits and battleships, every one of them is a definite fact that no one can deny.
The faces of everyone present, whether they were moderates or radicals, became increasingly ugly.
"The above is the entire cooperation between Orb and PLANT, which involves several times of assistance in the development of mobile suits and battleships. So, has Orb colluded with PLANT a long time ago? If so, why did the Earth United to Orb
Bu didn’t get any assistance from PLANT when he put pressure on him? Why did he destroy Orb’s colonial satellite [Heliopolis]?”
Facing Wang Liumei's questioning, everyone was speechless and unable to refute at all. It was as if this hearing committee was her one-man show, and everyone else was reduced to an audience.
"Regarding the collapse of [Heliopolis], Captain Rau Lu Cruz has already reported that it was not our attack that caused the collapse of [Heliopolis], but the Earth Army's
…”
"I also have different views on this matter." Wang Liumei interrupted the speech of Aisalia Jiuer, an important member of the radical group, and uploaded a more complete recording video.
"This is the video record I extracted from the wreckage of [Heliopolis]. It is more complete than the report submitted by Captain Rau Lu Cruze."
The screen was played, and several key scenes were extracted. Among them, ZAFT's Rangers were performing blasting operations inside [Heliopolis], and [Jean] took the initiative to attack the space port command room in [Heliopolis].
, [Jean] entered [Heliopolis] carrying heavy bombing equipment for fortress raiding operations.
These pictures all negate the previous rhetoric and block the way for them to shift the responsibility to the Earth Army.
"This...this is..."
"Therefore, on behalf of Orb, I lodge a serious protest with PLANT, asking you to provide an explanation for the destruction of the colonial satellite of the Orb United Emirates - [Heliopolis], causing its collapse, and to provide reasonable compensation.
"
Wang Lumei's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the silent conference room, like a loud slap on their faces, and like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
