Chabrol's Goodwill!
Chapter 1813 Chabrol's Goodwill!
After several days of sailing, the two Garuda-class carriers returned once again to their former base, the Earth Federation Forces headquarters in Chabro.
Following behind the two Garuda-class aircraft carriers was the NERV transport aircraft carrying EVA Unit-02.
When the three enormous creatures appeared in the sky above Chabro, they unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention.
Among them, the major news media outlets stationed around the Chabro headquarters were the most prominent.
All around the Earth Federation Forces' Chabro headquarters, where the two Garuda-class carriers and the NERV transport aircraft could be clearly seen landing, stood numerous journalists from all over the Earth-Moon Sphere. Once their cameras locked onto the two Garuda-class carriers and the NERV transport aircraft, they relentlessly pursued them until the three behemoths landed safely at the headquarters.
"It seems our arrival has stolen the limelight from this place."
With his arms crossed, Kenneth marveled at the images captured by the cameras on the main screen.
"After all, the live stream in Prague isn't over yet!"
He Ming shrugged.
After the Punisher left, the live broadcast from Prague continued, only the interview with the Punisher changed to following the garrison troops into Prague to clear the wreckage and search for any possible survivors.
Although the chances of finding survivors are slim, it is not impossible that some people might be lucky enough to escape being killed by the BETA.
During the defensive battle that was hit by the dimensional quake, the Federation forces that covered the evacuation of civilians to the capital airport attracted most of the BETA's attention.
Furthermore, since the dimensional beasts did not wreak havoc in the city, Chabro headquarters concluded that there should still be some survivors who escaped the calamity.
So, when the first survivor, who had been hiding in an underground air-raid shelter and was fortunate enough to be found, appeared on camera, all the viewers following the Prague incident erupted in cheers.
At the same time, many people place great importance on the existence of punishment.
In a short time, the public's opinion of the Punishment Force was rapidly elevated to an unimaginable level, fueled by media coverage from various regions.
Therefore, it's not hard to understand why such a routine landing would attract so many news media outlets to gather at the Chabro headquarters, vying to capture the moment the Garuda-class aircraft carrier landed.
It is believed that when He Ming and his entourage left the Garuda-class aircraft carrier and set foot on the land of Chabulo, the news was already making headlines on major news media and portal websites.
"So, does this mean I, the captain of the Garuda, will also have some wonderful adventures at the Chabro headquarters?"
Kenneth smiled and then fixed his hair.
He Ming was well aware of Kenneth's womanizing ways.
"Although I have no intention of interfering in your private life, you, and all of you, need to pay attention to the changes around you. This meeting will not be easy."
"Yes, Colonel Ming."
Kenneth immediately responded.
He had only made a small joke, but he didn't expect He Ming to give such a serious reminder.
"Order: After completing the mooring operations, no one may leave the Garuda aircraft carrier without prior approval. During rest periods, no one may go out alone; everyone must go out in teams of three and report their location at any time in accordance with combat regulations!"
He Ming's reminder must be taken very seriously by Kenneth.
"Yes! Captain."
Kenneth will handle the arrangements for the rest and rotation, but He Ming still needs to meet with General Gop.
The last time I visited the Chabro headquarters, it was just a brief stop, dropping off the delegation led by Durandal before immediately taking off again. But now, I've finally found an opportunity to meet with General Gop.
This is a cunning old fox that has been entrenched in Chabro for decades.
In the original timeline, during the thirty years from the start of the One Year War to UC 100, Earth Federation generals with names and titles, such as Reibill, Tiam, White, and Jamitov, all died in various ways.
Among these generals, only General Gop, who was stationed in Chabro, survived the One Year War, eventually retired, and entered politics, becoming the Speaker of the Earth Federation Government, and lived to the end.
Although Gop's military record does not appear to have any outstanding battle achievements, his persistence at crucial moments helped stabilize the Earth Federation Forces after Reibir's assassination, which had plunged into chaos. This allowed them to continue pushing forward with Project Star One against Zeon and persuade most members of the council, ultimately laying the foundation for the Earth Federation Forces' final victory.
In modern internet terms, referring to the world He Ming was in, General Gop was undoubtedly a representative figure in the "survival of the fittest" world.
If something can be negotiated, then try to negotiate it.
Only when negotiations fail will other methods be employed to find a solution.
To be honest, He Ming felt a little bit of pressure about meeting such a person.
"Artesia, come with me!"
Before leaving the Garuda, He Ming glanced at CC, Rosamia, and Murasame, who were accompanying Alice in simulation training, and then called Artesia to go and meet General Gop.
"Me? Well, I don't think I'm quite suitable?"
Artesia was somewhat surprised.
"It's alright. You're now a member of the Punishment Committee. As for Muzo's identity, we'll have to wait until you personally take the stage at the meeting."
He Ming knew what Artestia was thinking and explained it to her.
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Before long, the two who had met under the wings of the Garuda walked one after the other toward the control tower. They saw three jeeps approaching from a distance and coming to a steady stop in front of He Ming and Artesia.
As the car door opened, a young lieutenant with a burning gaze at He Ming strode out of the jeep, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Lieutenant Charlie Elden, General Staff. Are you Colonel Ming, commander of the Punishment Force?"
The lieutenant tried his best to make his expression more serious so as not to appear impolite, which made He Ming smile slightly.
He and Artesia raised their hands in return.
“I am the Punisher, Ming. And this lady beside me is Artesia Deacon.”
"Yes! It's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel Ming, Major Deakin!"
The young lieutenant immediately responded loudly.
His way of addressing Artesia surprised both He Ming and Artesia.
After exchanging a glance, He Ming smiled slightly.
"It seems Chabro has already guessed what we're thinking. Let's go, Major Artesia, let's go see General Gop!"
