Chapter 1846 The Generals' Plans!
The lunar city, above Von Blanc.
The Magellan battleship fleet, having completed a new round of refit testing, is receiving supplies from Von Braun City, awaiting the arrival of its next mission.
Amidst this bustling scene, Rebil was carefully examining the encrypted message sent from the Garuda.
Meanwhile, Tiaam, located in a region of space near the Earth-Moon sphere on the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, also happened to be online.
"That kid He Ming really does act quickly!"
After receiving the encrypted message forwarded by Rebil, Tianm read it and sighed.
"Such a vast empire was thus dismantled by He Ming."
"Yes, indeed. Whether it's the predictions of the General Staff of Chabro or the predictions of our fleet's staff, this decisive battle will last at least half a year, and it will also incur extremely high security costs."
Rebil stroked his beard and smiled slightly.
"To be able to see through the weaknesses of a seemingly powerful empire and exploit them to deliver a fatal blow. Tianm, what do you think? Should we promote this Colonel Ming to general?"
Upon hearing this, Tianm burst into laughter.
"I'm afraid we don't need to do this anymore. The old fox in Chabro may have already lost patience. Since He Ming obtained permission to establish the Punishment Law, he has won one battle after another, continuously suppressing all the factors that caused the chaos."
"In this way, those who initially opposed Gop's forced establishment of permission through punishment fell silent. Gop, perhaps now, is eagerly waiting for punishment to bring him more credit."
"Heh. What you said makes some sense. That old fox, Gop, is stubbornly staying in Chabro, unwilling to budge an inch, probably waiting for some opportunity to arise!"
Rebil stroked his beard carefully, fell into deep thought for a moment, and then spoke again.
“Tiam. According to that girl, so far, the forces that have caused the chaos are all those that the mastermind, the Ghost Faces, have identified as the source of conflict. This applies to the Britannian Empire, and it also applies to Queen Zanskar, whom you are currently under her care.”
"Yes."
Tianm gave his approval with a serious expression.
"But these conflicting factors that have already been exposed have been suppressed by us, by He Ming."
Tianm's eyes flickered, and he said with concern.
"The current situation appears to be that the Earth Federation Forces have achieved final victory, and they are taking advantage of this momentum to convene a parliamentary meeting to demonstrate the strength of the Federation Forces to the world."
Rebil understood Tianm's thoughts.
"This is the best time for the Earth Federation Forces to demonstrate its military power to the world, and also the best opportunity for the mastermind behind the scenes to intervene!"
Having said that, Rebil snorted coldly.
"Therefore, we need to prepare some small gifts as a greeting to the mastermind behind the scenes."
"What we need to worry about now is, just how much turmoil will the mastermind behind this cause? Is it limited to Chabro, or...?"
Tianm's expression gradually became serious.
"It's alright. Just imagine the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario in this world is that the solar system, and even the universe, are destroyed by the mastermind behind it all."
"Besides, what do we have to be afraid of when we know it's a dead end?"
"Indeed! Since we are all doomed, we might as well leave the last hope to the next person."
At midnight.
At the Chabro headquarters, the General Staff headquarters was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
After General Gop shut down communications from space, his eyes gradually narrowed, as if he were thinking about something.
A moment later, he called over Captain Charlie, the intelligence officer.
"General, what are your orders!" Charlie had already been moved to the rest list, but upon hearing Gop call his name, he jumped out of the car that had already driven out of the Chabro headquarters without hesitation and ran back to the General Staff.
Seeing the fine sweat on Charlie's forehead and the slightly damp collar, Gop slowly nodded.
"You will personally arrange the work outlined in this document. There is only one goal: the bigger the impact, the better."
Charlie was taken aback, then respectfully reached out to take the document, opened it, and immediately stood at attention and saluted with a solemn expression.
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
"Go ahead! After the meeting, it'll be time to change what you're carrying."
"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Charlie strode confidently out of Gop's office, his spirits high, and he was determined to push forward the plan Gop had devised.
Gop touched the cup and felt that the tea had gone cold, but instead of asking for fresh tea, he picked it up, took a slow sip, and looked back at the crescent moon outside the window.
"Rebil! Even after spending so many years in space, hasn't the desolate, cold expanse cooled your fiery heart even a fraction? You've actually come up with such a daring plan..."
Thinking of this, a cold smile gradually appeared on Gop's lips as he thought to himself.
"Of course. I have no right to criticize you, Rebil. In a way, we can also be considered ruthless."
Above the sea off the west coast of the Britannian Empire.
After completing their meeting with Schneizel, the two Garuda-class carriers did not rush back to Chabro. Instead, after the battle of Kamine Island, they first went to the NERV headquarters in the Third Tokyo Metropolitan Area to report and submit relevant reports on previous battles. Only then did they take a special plane to meet with Asuka, who was reuniting with He Ming and others, before heading to Chabro.
"Aren't you staying in the Third Tokyo Metropolitan Area?"
He Ming was somewhat surprised to see Asuka excitedly taking off her parachute backpack and skipping over to report for duty.
The agreement between NERV and Punishment stipulated that Asuka and EVA Unit-02 would only follow Chabro at most.
After arriving in Chabro, Asuka and EVA Unit-02 followed He Ming all the way to Kage Island to fight, which exceeded the scope of the agreement.
The most correct course of action for NERV, and even for Commander Ikari, would be for Asuka to return to the Third Tokyo City Cluster and stay there.
However, they actually let Asuka come to the Garuda again?
"What's the point of staying there? It's no fun at all! Besides, the pilot of Unit-01 is an idiot. He may seem cheerful, but he's just a blustering fool!"
Asuka raised her chin, snorted, and with a slightly disdainful expression, began to criticize a boy whose personality was beginning to change and who dared to express his own thoughts.
"Don't disbelieve me, Colonel Ming! You know, when I arrived at NERV headquarters, the pilot of Unit-01 actually pointed his finger at Commander Gendo Ikari and started yelling at him!"
At first, He Ming just listened to Asuka's scolding in a perfunctory manner, but he never expected to hear such shocking things.
"Shinji pointed his finger at Commander Ikari and started yelling at him?!"
"Yup!"
Asuka put her hands on her hips and hummed.
"Looks like he's going to take Unit-01 to the Punishment Bureau! How could that idiot possibly compare to a genius like me! I've been following the Punishment Bureau all the way, beating up dimensional monsters and crushing the Imperial Army alongside Colonel Ming!"
"Can that idiot even do that?"
He Ming listened for a while and then figured it out.
It's probably because he was stimulated by Asuka and EVA Unit-02's experience of fighting alongside the Punishment, that he heard that Asuka and EVA Unit-02 had arrived at NERV headquarters.
With a substitute already in place, Shinji Ikari ran up to Gendo Ikari without hesitation and asked to join the Punishment. And then... that's when Asuka witnessed the wonderful scene.
