Intelligence from Zeon!
Chapter 1669 Intelligence from Zeon!
The two Garuda-class carriers broke through the clouds one after the other and reached their designated altitude. They immediately began the operation to send the passengers of the future Pride Zeon into space and have Reibill take over the placement.
Meanwhile, He Ming was also in contact with Rebil in the communications room of the Garuda.
“We’ve already investigated since Lieutenant Colonel Slag took office. Most of those people are still alive in this timeline and have their own jobs. Therefore, I’m afraid we have to follow your suggestion and send the survivors from the Hauser to the edge of the solar system for resettlement.”
After a period of investigation and adjustment, Rebil was able to approach this extraordinary situation with a calm mind.
People from the future were able to be swept up by that dimensional tremor and cross the space-time barrier to arrive in the present era.
If this gets out, who knows how many troubles it will cause.
Fortunately, after discovering the Howzern, He Ming took immediate action, bringing the survivors under control and subsequently destroying the wreckage of the Howzern.
Although some debris remains, the debris, washed away by the torrent of high-temperature particles, yields absolutely no useful information.
"That's right. I believe Anaheim Electronics has the capability to find a safe place on the moon to house those people. But unfortunately, the conflict between the Titans and the Valley is becoming increasingly severe, and the lunar city is probably not going to escape it."
He Ming offered his opinion.
"Yes, that's what I think too. Therefore, after receiving those people, I will immediately lead the fleet back to von Braun to make arrangements."
Rebil stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and continued.
"Oh, right. I haven't explained this to you yet because you were dealing with those fallen cities, but now is a good opportunity."
"Oh? What happened?"
"It's a matter concerning the Republic of Zeon. PLANT's diplomatic mission has arrived there and met with the current Prime Minister of the Republic of Zeon, Darcia Bakharov."
(Darsia Bakharov)
"Oh? And then? Did anything interesting happen?"
He Ming knew that the PLANT diplomatic mission would inevitably meet with the high-ranking officials of the Republic of Zeon, and he also knew that, given Durandal's cunning nature, he certainly wouldn't cause any major incidents during their first meeting.
After all, they're all seasoned veterans; there's no need to pretend to be naive.
"It's not exactly interesting. It's just that when Ambassador Durandal returned to his hotel after the first day of talks, he was blocked by more than a dozen young people, which caused some unpleasantness."
Rebil smiled slightly, making a mocking remark.
"It's like the rallying cry of that ambitious commander back then."
"Commander-in-chief? Momentum?"
He Ming's gaze sharpened slightly as he noticed the hidden meaning in Rebil's words.
"It seems our Prime Minister of the Republic of Zeon is also restless! But does he have the guts?"
Rebil snorted coldly.
“Darsia Bakharov certainly didn’t have that kind of courage. But, young people sometimes get a little too hot-blooded.”
"Young people?"
After thinking about it carefully, He Ming seemed to know the name of the young man that Rebil had mentioned.
"Monahan Bakharov? Darcia Bakharov's son?"
(Monahan Baharov. The original image is a bit blurry, so this will have to do.)
In the future UC0096 timeline, Monahan Baharov secretly contacts Minerva Zabi and the armed forces that support him, the "Sleeves," and in the subsequent Gundam NT timeline, he instructs the "Sleeves" to capture RX-0 Unit 3 Phoenix.
Strictly speaking, this person's existence has a connection with Phoenix Gundam.
"Yes. According to reports from our undercover agents in the colonies over the years, Monahan Baharov seems to want to replicate the tactics used by Kilian Zabi before he rose to power, and is starting to use the arrival of the PLANT diplomatic mission in the Republic of Zeon to guide public opinion."
Rebil's expression gradually became serious.
The PLANT diplomatic mission chose the Republic of Zeon as its first stop on its visit to Super-Earth because neither side knew much about the other and they were looking for a place that could serve as a buffer zone but would not interfere too much with their own secrets.
And this is something that the current Prime Minister of the Republic of Zeon, Darsia Bakharov, must be aware of. Yet, under these circumstances, his son, the current Foreign Minister of the Republic of Zeon, Monahan Bakharov, secretly gathers people, attempting to replicate the methods used by Kilian Zabi when he rose to power.
When this intelligence reached Rebil, he let out a long sigh.
Could the war that was so hard to resolve back then, started by the Zabi family, be reignited in the present-day Republic of Zeon?
"Let's wait and see! I'm still gathering manpower here and can't attend to matters in space for the time being. General Reibir, you could go to the Republic of Zeon and check on the situation first."
He Ming made a suggestion.
"Didn't a colony satellite request help before? This might be an opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Rebil nodded.
"That's what I was thinking too. Let's use the pretext of assisting the colony satellites in eliminating the BETA threat to conduct a large-scale investigation in the L2 space.
After a pause, Rebil looked at He Ming.
"So, what are your plans regarding punishment?"
"As I said before, gather manpower. The list I have right now is only limited to the Federal Army, which has certain limitations. Therefore, I've decided to take a few laps in the skies above this super-Earth."
He Ming raised his hand and tapped the table in front of him.
"Fortunately, this Garuda-class aircraft carrier is capable of long-duration cruise flights without needing to land for resupply. This capability is sufficient to help me complete the next mission."
"Hmm, it seems they've made the best use of them. In comparison, leaving these three Garuda-class aircraft carriers at the Federation headquarters would have been a complete waste."
He Ming and Reibil exchanged a smile and ended the communication.
After tidying up his things on the table, He Ming left the communications room.
Unexpectedly, Murasame and Rosamia, who were waiting outside, seemed to have something to say to each other.
"Feng, you tell us!"
Rosamia looked around and then passed the "ball" to Murasame.
"Huh? What happened?"
He Ming's name is somewhat strange.
Something's not quite right with these two.
"That's right, Colonel. On another Garuda, a girl named Kiki Andalusia insists on seeing you."
"Kiki Andalusia?"
He Ming was slightly surprised.
Shouldn't this woman be trying to seduce Hathaway?
Why did they come looking for me instead?
"No. Proceed according to the original plan, send them into space and hand them over to General Rebil."
That's what he thought, but He Ming had no interest in meeting Kiki Andalusia.
Although the other party seemed to have some good potential as a new human, for certain reasons, He Ming was reluctant to contact Kiki Andalusia, nor did he want her to meet Hathaway, who was now known as Mafti, to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble.
Recalling the scenes in the future where Hathaway was swayed by this Kiki Andalusia, He Ming decisively banished her to the edge of the solar system, letting her stay on the mother planet Vajura.
