Chapter 335 Meeting the Old Fox

In the captain's room, there were only two people, Malu and Bucky Lulu.

"What should I do?" Ma Liu asked Bucky Lulu with a complex expression. He has been with her all the way until now. It would be fake to have no feelings. Moreover, Bucky Lulu, like herself, has a complicated love relationship with Yang Hui.

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 directly pack her bags and accept the order from the top management to leave like in the original plot. Archangel number.

"We... are soldiers." Bucky 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 status as a soldier and adheres to military discipline, so... she still plans to accept the transfer order.

"Natal..."

"Of course, I can only represent myself. As for the thoughts of Major Flaca and Private Alsta, I will not interfere." Bakki Lulu said.

"...Major Flaka should also accept the transfer order, but Fleur...sigh."

Speaking of Fleur, Malu and Baji Lulu couldn't help but sigh. They really felt sorry for this poor girl. They saw their father killed in battle and homeless, and then their boyfriend also entered the MIA list. They thought I wanted to get back together with my ex-boyfriend but was rejected again, as if I had been abandoned by the whole world.

After losing everything, Fleur only had the Archangel, and only a group of familiar people who could 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." Bucky Lulu said with a bitter smile, "This transfer order was issued directly from the headquarters. We...even if we want to refuse, it's impossible unless we defect."

"That's true..."

…

While Malu and Bucky Lulu were still worrying about how to help Fleur stay on the Archangel, deep underground in the Alaska base, final preparations were being made.

"How's it going?"

"It went very smoothly. Everything will start and end as planned."

In a dark environment, with a gloomy smile, a conspiracy is about to unfold.

…

Orb welcomed a special guest. A Voscuro-class submarine carrier of the ZAFT army docked at the port of Chujima. Under the protection of heavy troops, Yang Hui returned Aslan, Diego and Nigel to ZAFT. military.

"First meeting...is that correct? Your Excellency Yang Hui."

"This is indeed our first meeting, Captain Cruse."

Yang Hui and Kruse, the two biggest behind-the-scenes chess players in the world, finally face each other for the first time.

"Thank you for taking care of my subordinates."

"Our country is only acting in compliance with international law, Captain Cruze, you're welcome."

"Then I will take them back. Thank you for your warm reception."

"Are you leaving now? I have also prepared a welcoming banquet for Captain Cruze and all 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."

"Me too, but unfortunately time does not allow it. After the war is over, if conditions permit, I may come to visit you."

"Really? 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, and Nicol and Diego too."

"Take care of yourself."

The three responded at the same time. Although they had all been prisoners of Orb, except for Nigel who was captured by Yang Hui himself, Aslan and Diego were both saved by Orb and recuperated in Orb. Not only did they not face any trouble, but they were also given good food and drink, which made them unable to feel bad about Orb 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 Kruse seemed to be a friendly one, but only the two of them knew how many overt and covert attacks were hidden in the short exchange.

At first, 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. Yang Hui tactfully told Kruse that Orb still adheres to the international neutrality law. Their behavior was 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 was also a way to quietly disclose information to Yang Hui. On the one hand, it was to express apology for not being able to accept the invitation, and on the other hand, it was also to show goodwill to Yang Hui and show that there was a possibility of cooperation between them.

"It seems he disappointed you." Huang and Wang Rumei covered their mouths and chuckled.

"No, on the contrary." Yang Hui retorted, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes, "He is already moved, otherwise he would not take the initiative to leak information to us. There is 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 he may continue to accelerate his plan to force us to reveal our trump card." Huang added, in Yang Hui's description, Cruze is a madman, but not completely crazy. His madness comes from a small lifespan. Because Cruze is a clone, he was born with a shortage of mitochondria and has a short lifespan.

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 fever. It can be cured if it is said to be cured. Kruse also has a friend who is an expert in the genetic field. None of them can solve Kruse’s illness. They can only develop a The specific medicine was delayed, 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's body was always shrouded in a thick fog, making him unable to see. It turned out that 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 done, 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 the other four machines need..."

"unnecessary."

"Your memory can only be a reference, not reality."

"I know, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if they are all enemies." The first Orb defense battle was a large-scale war between the two top powers in the world. Even if it was an ace machine, single digits would hardly affect the battle situation. Even if Aslan becomes an enemy and Kira doesn't help Orb, Yang Hui is confident that he can withstand one or two attacks and then take off with the fire.

"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 had established the moderate secret organization [Terminal] with the help of Yang Hui and others. No one knew that Lux had actually always been a member of [Celestial Being] and was a member of the [Celestial Being]. Wang Liumei is the most senior intelligence officer placed in PLANT and is responsible for all the agents placed by [Celestial Being] in PLANT.

That's why Wang Liumei disagreed with Yang Hui's instructions. It was just to hand over the new machine body to Kira and win over Kira. It was not worth exposing Lux. Once Lux was exposed, their many years of planning in PLANT would suffer heavy losses.

"Even if he is not exposed, Lux has to evacuate. The radicals have an absolute advantage. Old Sarah 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 to ask her to prepare. All PLANT agents will be silent, and Siegel's evacuation plan will also be prepared."

"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 didn't like it. He plays 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."
