"Yesterday, the Liberty Gundam and Justice Gundam, which were completely independently developed by our army, finally completed the final commissioning work. Dr. Lingos from Anaheim came to PLANT thousands of miles to bring good wishes to ZAFT and Accompanied by Captain Cruze, I watched the actual combat drills of the two Gundams with great interest. The two sides had a cordial and friendly meeting. During the meeting, Dr. Lingos highly praised the technical level of our army and emphasized scientific Technology is the primary productive force. Captain Cruze said excitedly... "
"Doctor, do you think this is okay?" A staff member of the PLANT Publicity Bureau handed the manuscript to Ed and looked at him respectfully, "If there is no problem, we will send it like this tomorrow."
The problem is that the so-called tour escort has not started at all, and Ed is still standing outside the Eternal. The Eternal and the two nuclear power guns are one of the top secrets of the ZAFT army. They were originally developed by PLANT and Anaheim in secret. According to the contract, they will be published as PLANT's independent research and development when they are finally announced, and the nuclear power has been hidden. relevant details.
The staff of the Propaganda Bureau are obviously not qualified to know the details, and they don't even have permission to board the ship. Of course, such a manuscript with obvious fabricated elements can only be published after obtaining his own consent.
"Very good, very professional." He nodded with satisfaction. This is definitely 200% sincere. This press release looks very friendly. "Just send it like this, I have no opinion."
The propagandists left happily. As if timing was set, a blond man in a mask led a group off the ship and walked towards him.
There was another NT on the boat that wasn't among the group. Char's New Humanity Research Institute is really not a hype, PLANT is almost full of new human beings, and I met three in just a few days.
"First meeting, Dr. Lingos." The man who disembarked interrupted Ed's thinking. He was wearing a white military uniform to symbolize his captain status, "I am the ship of the Eternal, the special support ship for freedom and justice. On behalf of all the officers and men of the Eternal, I welcome you, Chief Lau Rue Cruze."
"Hello Captain Cruze, I have heard the name of the Duke for a long time, and I have the honor to meet you today."
Crutzer joined the army and soon caught up with the one-year war. At the end of the war, he became famous for his superb driving skills. In a battle, he showed his excellent command ability while the commander of his unit died in battle. shine. Although he was unable to reverse PLANT's defeat by himself, his outstanding personal ability allowed him to be quickly promoted to Baiyi.
Ed stepped forward and shook hands with him, silently complaining about ZAFT's miraculous military discipline, that a soldier can wear a mask. He once checked the historical records of Xia Ya, and it was also a battlefield with a mask on.
Speaking of Char, there is indeed Zeon Deken in this world. It is said that he was the spiritual mentor of the three heroes of PLANT in the early years. Unfortunately, he died young and did not leave much history in history. Thinking of the fact that Char Ya wore a mask to join the army, Ed investigated the death method of the Zabi family and the location of Char Ya at that time, and the conclusion was very interesting. If things reach the point of last resort, he is not completely unlicensed to play against Xia Ya.
In fact, whether it is Xia Ya or Cruze, for these people who are not wealthy, if the information they have is in the hands of people who care, it should not be difficult to make a real hammer with some effort. Do you see yourself as an unknown sweet pastry? Of course, it seems that there is no use for him at present, and he is not a PLANT person, so he will not wade in such muddy waters.
"Does the doctor care about this mask?" Cruzer noticed Ed's gaze and pointed to his own mask, "I have always been an admirer of the Red Comet, this is just a parody of an admirer. If you If you really mind, I can take it off."
Having said that, what can I do with myself? Ed can only generously express that he doesn't mind, you continue to wear it.
Accompanied by Crutzer, Ed visited various areas of the Eternal, and while watching, he secretly compared with his own Blue-Eyes White Dragon. After all, his ship was modified after the Eternal. If nothing else, the interior decoration is a complete victory for my own ship. Although one is the latest battleship built by the whole country, and the other is a second-hand ship modified by myself, the difference between a battleship and a home is still very big. CC is here. A special piece worth spending money on.
However, some of the heavy artillery equipped on the ship is of no use in his opinion, it is better to paste some armor - if there is justice and freedom, do you still need a ship to output
With the group coming to Gnaku, today's itinerary finally reached the highlight. Two brand-new mobile suits were parked in Gnakuli, and at the feet of the mobile suits, soldiers in red and green lined up neatly.
The two Gundams that Ed handed over were unpainted, and these post-production work was finally carried out by ZAFT. Things like the color selection of a custom machine, if the dedicated driver has a request, they will generally try to meet it.
However, standing in front of him was a Justice Gundam painted green and a Freedom Gundam painted red. Ed's eyelids twitched slightly, and he almost spit out. He resisted the urge and tried his best to keep looking at Cruze calmly.
"Dr. Lingos, let me introduce you to the dedicated drivers of these two MSs." Cruzer gestured towards the queue, and two young men in red military uniforms stood in front of the team and gave a military salute. Stand at attention, "This is Aslan Sara, the dedicated driver of Freedom Gundam, and the other is Gremi Toto, the dedicated driver of Justice Gundam."
Ed nodded to the two who came out, and then looked at Aslan with subtle eyes. Everyone had met before on an embarrassing occasion, and it didn't take long for them to see each other again. Aslan stared straight ahead without squinting, and Ed always felt that he was embarrassed to look at him.
The Freedom Gundam is equipped with dragoons, which are relatively more demanding on the driver. If the leader of the unit has a clear mind, it basically means that Aslan's level is higher than the one next to him.
Thinking that Kira has already become a general in Aub, although he may have gone through the back door of Kagali, Aslan, as a member of parliament, is still wearing a red shirt and driving a Gundam. Why is the gap between people so big? Woolen cloth
He looked at the dedicated driver of justice, Gremi Toto, who looked at him blankly, but the induction in the spiritual realm betrayed him, this is the NT that he sensed just now.
Gremi in my memory is an ambitious man, but this one looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. At most, he has just graduated from the military academy. How hard is the backstage to do justice here? But it was the first time we met today, but Gremi unabashedly attacked his consciousness with malice. Ed was puzzled, how could he offend people.
"Captain Cruze, I'll take the liberty to ask," Ed gestured to Gremi with his eyes, "This guy looks only fifteen or sixteen, is ZAFT's recruitment period already so low?"
"Doctor, you don't know, Gremi is an excellent talent selected by Senator Aznabu." Cruzer speaks decently and behaves elegantly, just like a replica of Char, "His amazing talent in the New Humanity Institute was praised by him. The congressman valued it and was personally recommended by the congressman as the dedicated driver for the cutting-edge aircraft. His technology is second to none in the ZAFT army. Was the doctor so young when he became famous?"
"It turns out that your army is indeed full of talents, which should not be underestimated." Ed nodded pretentiously, and the backstage was really hard.
Cruzer began to introduce him to several other crew members in detail, and he listened and expressed his appreciation.
At this point, he already knew about the distribution of ZAFT forces. As the most powerful combat unit of ZAFT today, the Eternal is basically an abbreviated version of the ZAFT force distribution map, and all the forces will try to stuff people inside. The captain Cruze is Sarah's confidant, and the free pilot Aslan is Sarah's own son, which shows that Sarah has a great influence in the army. Since Xia was able to put Gremi in as a righteous driver, the so-called Zabi remnants obviously still had a lot of power in the army.
The most ironic thing is that the Eternal, as a tool of violence in the hands of the highest council of PLANT, does not even have a speaker in the three most important seats on the ship. Klein once hinted to Ed that he was powerless in military affairs. At first he thought it was a hoax, but now it seems that it is really not out of nothing. At least on the Eternal, he was overridden by Char and Sarah.
According to Ed's knowledge, Klein's biggest iron in the army, Lamballe, known as the cyan superstar, was killed in the One Year War, and Lamballar's disciple Andrew Butterfield continued in the army. as Klein's ally. Comparing the personnel configuration on the ship, this Butterfield's prestige in the army should be far from that of a famous general like Cruze.
With the end of the finale, today's itinerary has almost come to an end.
In this visit, on the one hand, the completion of the two Gundams requires a heavyweight to show his face on the news. Ed was at the meeting. On the other hand, he was invited to participate in the blood-stained Valentine's Day anniversary commemoration on the 14th. . At that time, the Eternal and Freedom Gundam will be the only designated means of transportation to escort the event participants to the ruins of Junius 7 as her first mission after leaving the port.
Originally, this kind of activity is not very auspicious, and it is easy for some extremists to come out and destroy it. However, Speaker Klein’s personal invitation made him difficult to refuse, and he assured him that the Eternal and one of the nuclear-powered Gundams would be escorted throughout the journey. Even if he has no confidence in ZAFT, he is still very confident in what he has done, and he loses his reputation after rejecting this kind of public welfare activity. After a little hesitation, he simply agreed.
It is worth mentioning that he also brought V2AB to Pumu on this trip - the bodyguard of the father of Gundam. Isn't it a routine operation to take a Gundam when going out? It is only reasonable for a big man to engage in privilege. As for the high maintenance costs of the two sets of AB equipment, it is naturally the sponsor's investment. You have to ask me to come. In case there are any terrorists who can't think of it, Free Plus V2AB will push it down with its eyes closed.
Of course, Lux would attend the whole event as a peace ambassador for this event. He knew it only after he agreed, and Uruki can testify.
"Looking at these elite soldiers, I am full of confidence in the trip on the 14th." Ed showed a satisfied smile to Cruze, "Such a powerful strength must be able to deter those who are not long-eyed. "
"Please rest assured, Doctor, the Eternal will surely complete her first mission successfully, and will never fail everyone's expectations." After saying this, Cruze laughed, and the entourage also echoed with laughter, and everyone was immersed in joy. in a peaceful atmosphere.
At the same time, the atmosphere on the other ship was chilling.
Here is a dining room box on the passenger ship heading for PLANT. There are six silent boys and girls and a man talking in the box.
"Twenty minutes later, the passenger ship will be overhauled, and I will take the opportunity to leave the emergency exit and return to the Alexander class." The six troubled children in front of him made a turbulent commotion, and Siroc skillfully used his mental strength to appease them one by one. People gradually calm down. "Everyone checked it for the last time, did you have enough medicine belts, did you memorize the map, and whether there was anything unclear about the action. After I disembarked, all the evidence was immediately destroyed."
The six dawdled for a few more minutes, until everyone nodded.
"I emphasize once again, from the moment I disembark, there must be absolutely no behavior that is not like a tourist. The two groups are absolutely not allowed to contact each other. Before the action, be sure to take enough medicine, and act on time on the 14th. Bringing the two aircraft back to the Alexander class is the top priority."
The six nodded obediently. No, these are not people at all, they can only be regarded as consumption materials.
Talents who can make full and reasonable use of resources are truly excellent generals, and this operation of theirs will definitely be successful. In the army, there are many high-level trash snacks like Heyman. How can he, a once-in-a-hundred-year-old hero like him, fall under such a person
However, this old dog, Heyman, can get this level of classified information, and even has a map of the ZAFT military stronghold, which is really beyond his expectations. It seems that the immortal still has some secrets, so let him have a dog's life first.
"Shunezer of Britannia said that I was a success, but I disagree. I think the life and death of a warrior is up to oneself." Siroc glanced coldly at the teenagers and girls in front of him. , picked up the tea cup on the table, "You have not been officially registered with the Federal Army, and you have the cleanest foundation. I wish you all a smooth journey in PLANT, cheers!"
