Chapter 1610 Meeting an Old Friend!
Upon receiving the news, Reibill gave the order that, except for Christina who remained, all other Federation pilots and soldiers evacuated the Sky Gate where it was located, allowing the security team sent by the Vist Foundation to take over the security of the Sky Gate.
Although the other party was no longer a member of the Earth Federation Forces, Rebil was already quite familiar with the bald-headed Jarl Zhang who stood silently behind Rita.
If it weren't for Cardias Vist's personal intervention, Reibill probably wouldn't have been willing to let this outstanding Earth Federation intelligence expert go.
"Miss, General, everything has been arranged. Apart from those standing here, no one else will know anything about the contents of this meeting today."
After confirming the information with the security personnel stationed around him via earpiece, Jal Zhang solemnly assured Rita and Rebil.
"I have faith in the strength of the Vist Foundation."
Rebil had no objections.
As one of those who also knew of the existence of the original charter, Reibir had great confidence in the security capabilities of the Vist Foundation.
After all, ever since Rita and Michelle got involved in the operations of the Vist Foundation, the discord hidden within the Vist Foundation has gradually disappeared.
And now, the biggest discordant voice within the Vist Foundation is also destined to disappear.
"Rita, General, it's almost time to greet you, as agreed."
Michelle, dressed in a women's suit and standing solemnly behind Rita, gently reminded her.
Whenever Rita is present, Michelle will unhesitatingly place herself in the position of secretary, assisting Rita in handling affairs.
As for positions like executive director of the Bister Group, none of them are as important as assisting Rita in handling affairs.
"Alright, let's go! Grandpa Rebil, Michel, Jarl, let's go and welcome our long-lost big brother!"
Rita smiled softly, a mixture of joy and complexity flashing in her eyes.
What's delightful is that, after many years, especially when one's own world is caught up in a space disaster caused by time and space changes, one can still witness the surprising moment when the person who made a promise to him many years ago reappears before him.
The complexity lies in the fact that He Ming's presence here signifies a future far more complex than the one Rita predicted years ago, during the One Year War, which has already undergone a radical transformation.
Neither she nor Rita Bernal, who was hidden in the flow of time, could see the road ahead clearly, let alone the traps hidden in the future.
of course.
In the short term, Rita still has considerable confidence that she can see the outline of the road ahead.
For example, here.
Before long, under the watchful eyes of Rita, Rebil, Michelle, and Jarl Zhang, the hyperspace gate that had returned to tranquility opened again, revealing a small hyperspace gate with a diameter of about three meters.
Then, the moment the view from the other side of Mars appeared on the small hyperspace gate, a tall figure wrapped in silver-white armor strode out from the ripples created by the hyperspace gate.
"Who is this older brother?"
Upon seeing that figure, Rita instantly recognized the true face behind the silver-white mask.
"Hehe! I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still see right through me."
As the mask slid off, He Ming's face appeared before everyone's eyes.
"So many years have passed. You're still so young. Looks like you've been doing pretty well since leaving Earth."
After looking He Ming up and down, Rebil's eyes lit up as he stared at the Baxia armor on He Ming's body.
Seeing this, He Ming knew perfectly well what this renowned Earth Federation general was thinking!
"This is a protective system we developed specifically for pilots—the Baxia Armor. It can protect pilots while also enhancing their control over their mechs." Although He Ming's introduction was brief, as the one who spearheaded Project G and possessed an exceptional vision of the battlefield, how could Reibir not understand the meaning behind the Baxia Armor on He Ming's body?
"Yes, the Baxia armor has completed mass production combat testing. If needed, it can be deployed on a small scale in a short time."
He Ming saw through Rebil's thoughts and then went along with it, introducing the Ernesti trio, who were about to arrive with the second group of exchange personnel, to Rita and Michel.
"Rita. The technical team responsible for the combat testing of the Basha armor mass production model will be among the next group of exchange personnel. You should be prepared to receive them."
He Ming paused, then added with a smile.
"Hmm. That team leader is very obsessed with MS and related knowledge. We might as well satisfy his hobby as much as possible, while keeping the core design confidential. His skills in MS research and development are trustworthy."
"Understood, Michelle."
Rita nodded and turned to look at Michelle.
The latter immediately understood the conversation between the two.
In just a few words, a large order was handed over to the Bister Group.
The well-informed Rebil gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He sighed and said helplessly.
"He Ming, you're a general of the Earth Federation (UC)! How can you treat your own people like this?"
With a slight thought, He Ming's Baxia armor suddenly contracted, transforming into the headband he was wearing in the blink of an eye.
This scene made Rita's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but show an expectant look in her eyes.
"Later, I will have someone assist you in designing a custom Baxia armor. But don't get your hopes up too high. The Baxia armor I'm using now is custom-made and cannot be mass-produced for the time being."
Hearing this, Rita was a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled.
"General. If I remember correctly, I was just a lieutenant colonel before I left? How did I become a general as soon as I came back?"
After comforting Rita, He Ming looked at Rebil with a puzzled expression.
Rebil chuckled and stared intently at He Ming.
“We are not blind. Such a commotion on Jupiter, no, on the far more distant edge of the solar system, is probably closely related to you, isn’t it?”
He Ming blinked, but did not admit it.
But everyone knows this perfectly well.
The intense, high-energy reaction erupting from the edge of the solar system, followed by the astronomical explosion in Jupiter's orbit, all suggest that a powerful fleet is engaged in a fierce battle with an unknown enemy outside the Earth-Moon sphere.
Originally, Reibir and Tianm, who knew this information, were wondering about the identities of the two sides fighting, and were even more worried about whether the fighting would affect the instability of the Earth-Moon Sphere.
But after the plot to open the hyperspace gate was suppressed and he received definitive information from Heming, Rebil realized that the astonishing commotion at the edge of the solar system, in Jupiter's orbit, was probably caused by Heming.
The reason why He Ming did this is probably related to the mastermind behind the space disaster.
This is a deduction made by Reibir and Tiam, two generals who are dedicated to defending the Earth Federation (UC) and protecting humanity, after a conversation.
