Tengyun, the captain's room of Captain Feng Yun.

At this time, this room, which was quite spacious in the limited space of a battleship, was already full of people.

I saw that Feng Yun, He Moming, Ma Liu, Baki Lulu and other four people, who were the senior leaders of the battleship, were sitting on the sofa respectively, while the other entourages could only stand behind their respective captains as façades.

After the salutation process as a meeting etiquette, Feng Yun nodded and said after inspecting the faces of Ma Lu and the others for a week: "It's been a few months since I said goodbye to the track. I also heard from Major Graham about this time. Thank you very much. ”

"No, that's what we're supposed to do. In order to end this war as soon as possible, the Archangel and Strike Gundam must be sent back to Alaska. And that's why we've stuck to this point. Malu's lips moved, and she said.

"Hmm. Let me pay my highest respects here to the departed Admiral Halbarton. Feng Yun stood up with a solemn expression, and saluted Ma Lu and the others again, solemnly.

After Malu and the others stood up to return the salute, the solemn atmosphere also dissipated. The topic quickly avoided the matter of the Eighth Fleet under the subconscious of everyone.

After all, there had been a joint operation before, and the precautions for the next joint trip to the Kaohsiung spaceport quickly reached a high degree of consensus on this past experience, and a joint action plan that was happy for both sides was released. Soon, as the discussion ended, Feng Yun, as the captain of the Tengyun, took the opportunity to propose to invite everyone from the Archangel to visit the Tengyun, but the strange thing was that the thoughtful captain did not make a suggestion to Malu, the captain of the Archangel, but instead proposed it to Bucky Lulu.

Feng Yun's strange behavior made Bucky Lulu subconsciously look at Maru, and under Bucky Lulu's gaze, Maru nodded quietly, allowing Bucky Lulu to agree to Feng Yun's suggestion. After all, such an abnormal action was not something Feng Yun, a captain known as a good man in the Earth United Army, could do. The only reason that can be explained is that it comes from someone. And this person may be the colonel in front of him, who is sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea.

With Marlue's permission, Bucky Lulu and the others left the captain's room behind Feng Yun, leaving the space for Maru and a certain guy.

With the departure of the personnel, the already cramped room once again returned to its original spaciousness. A man and a woman are facing each other, seated at each other's seats across a table. Although at this point, there is no one else in the room. But for a while, the man and woman did not speak to each other, nor did they take the initiative to provoke any topics. It's just that each of them is doing their own thing, such as a certain colonel enjoying Feng Yun's treasured dragon well before the rain in a hurry, such as a certain female captain sitting silently in place, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, a crisp sound sounded.

"Phew."

A slightly heavier voice burst into Maru's ears. Malu, who was in a trance, subconsciously gathered her gaze and looked over, and found that it was the cup, and the right hand that placed it heavily on the table.

"Hmm. The time of enjoyment is over. The moment Ho's inexplicable voice sounded, Malu found that she seemed to be a little panicked. She seemed to be afraid that He would make a request in the next time. "Well, Captain Marius. I don't know the last time I asked Graham to forward a letter to you, but I received it? ”

Sure enough, whatever you are afraid of comes. When Ma Liu's heart became more and more panicked, He inexplicably made a heart-to-heart punch directly, smashed Huanglong, and brought up the most feared thing in Ma Liu's heart.

"Ahh Malu answered, and seemed a little panicked by her actions.

He looked at Ma Liu's increasingly flustered appearance inexplicably, and doubts couldn't help but arise. His letter was not a love letter at all, just a suggestion letter with an official eight-strand tone. Why did Malu get a little flustered at the mention of this? He was a little confused, and secretly suppressed his doubts and put his thoughts back on the path he had originally envisioned.

"Captain Maliu. Now that you've read the letter, I'll make it clear. I wonder what the Archangel plans to do after sending the Strike Gundam back to Alaska? ”

When Malu heard this, she quickly settled down and forced her thinking to return to normal. "Colonel Ho. The Archangel's current mission is to return the Strike Gundam and herself to Alaska unharmed. And so is my mission, which is the final order of Commodore Halbaton, Admiral of the Eighth Fleet. Thinking of the death of her mentor Halbarton, Maliu's face darkened slightly. Also, after that, it's not up to me to decide where the Archangel number goes. And I myself must follow the orders of the United Earth Headquarters. Therefore, I understand what Colonel Ho said, but I will not accept and agree with it. ”

Maliu's performance at this time was completely unexpected, but it was also reasonable. According to the setting of the original book, Malu seems to be weak on the outside, but on the inside, she has a tenacity that is difficult to defeat. He thought about it inexplicably and continued: "Really? So, why didn't the Earth Union send troops to the rescue when the Archangel landed in the North African desert for some reason? Instead, let the Archangel break into the tiger's den alone? If I hadn't sent Graham to the rescue beforehand, I'm afraid the Archangel wouldn't have been here so soon. ”

After a pause, He inexplicably picked up the teapot on the edge of the table, poured tea for his cup, and said, "Or, the archangel number was destroyed under the tiger's sharp teeth." And you, the beautiful female captain, probably won't end up well. ”

Ho's inexplicable words suddenly made Maliu's face gloomy. In Mariu's view, the Archangel was able to escape because Graham arrived at the landing site of the Archangel in time and dragged the desert tiger in the ensuing Armageddon, thus allowing the Archangel to escape from death. This credit is indeed indelible and undeniable.

In fact, He inexplicable words are already a bit brazen. After all, according to the plot direction of the original book, even without Graham's joining, the Archangel can finally escape, and the key character is Kira, the adjuster boy who can explode at a critical moment. It's just that in today's Gundam SEED, which has begun to change due to the active activities of He Mozhi and others, there is already a lot of uncertainty.

Sighing faintly, Maliu's face was already overshadowed, and her mood became more and more depressed. "Definitely. I will not deny the credit of Major Graham. Now the Archangel has been able to successfully merge with the Tengyun and move towards the Kaohsiung Cosmoport, all thanks to Major Graham. ”

Speaking of this, Maliu's beautiful eyes raised slightly, glanced at He, who began to hold the teacup again, and drank the tea, said inexplicably: "Or, it is thanks to Colonel He's clever calculation that Major Graham was able to make a magnificent appearance when the Archangel was at its most dangerous." ”

"Hmm." He responded inexplicably, but unexpectedly choked on that sip of hot tea by surprise. Pause. Tea splashed, coughing and coughing.

Looking at He Mo's face full of tea and coughing repeatedly on his chest, Ma Lu also hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over. "Colonel Ho, it doesn't matter, does it? Wipe it first. ”

He Momo, who had been tormented by the hot tea for a while, didn't look carefully at the handkerchief handed over by Ma Liu, but subconsciously took it, and after wiping the tea on his face, he found that the "paper towel" in his hand was a handkerchief with a faint fragrance. He inexplicably's brows immediately jumped.

"This, this is, Captain Marius's handkerchief?"

As soon as the words came out, He inexplicably immediately wanted to slap himself in the face. Who else could there be in this room besides himself and Maluch? Isn't that obvious?

"Well, it's mine. Colonel Ho, take it first. Malu looked calm, but the gloom that had been on her face before had disappeared without a trace.

"Well, that's so offended." The corners of He's mouth twitched inexplicably, and the handkerchief he was holding in his hand was not placed, nor was he taking it. For a moment, the light handkerchief was as heavy as a thousand pounds that could not be grasped. In order to bring the topic back to the right path, He coughed a few times inexplicably and continued: "It can be seen that Earth Union does not think very much about the existence of the Great Angel Number and the Strike Gundam. Well, let's look at it from another angle. Perhaps when the Archangel and the Eighth Fleet converged, the Earth Union already had a follow-up plan to clone the Archangel and the Strike Gundam. Therefore, the presence of the Archangel number and the Strike Gundam would not be so important. ”

"How so!" Maru was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "If that's the case, the Admiral won't die like this." ”

After He sighed inexplicably, he casually put the handkerchief in his hand on the table and continued to talk about his opinion. "Compared to me, a colonel in the East Asian Federation, you, a major in the Atlantic Federation, should know better than me about the virtues within the Atlantic Federation! This, this is a political struggle. And Brigadier General Halbarton is nothing more than a loser in this fight. ”

"Nope. Impossible. If that's the case, why did Admiral Halbarton protect the Archangel and Strike Gundam from returning to Alaska even if he died. Obviously, Malu could not accept this fact for a moment.

"Because even if he dies, his name will be immortal."
