Chapter 199 The Captured Gundam
【Bai Ze】returned to Tordia, and Yang Hui had already passed the mission report and the selected suitable technology to Argureas who was still on Earth.
Argureas saw the received technology and understood that Yang Hui was hiding it, but he did not ask more questions. He believed that Yang Hui had his own ideas.
As for the senior officials of the Federation... they dared not question Yang Hui. Even though he was old, Yang Hui's prestige in the Federation was not something they could shake.
Not to mention that Yang's Enterprise was an absolute existence in the Federation and on Earth.
To put it bluntly, with the current scale and status of Yang's Enterprise, the lives of civilians and the army could not do without it.
Moreover, since the [Bat Driving Operation], Yang's Enterprise has cut off all gray transactions, all business activities are legal and compliant, and it has never intervened in politics. It has been doing business with peace of mind, so that the senior officials of the Federation can't find an excuse to deal with it.
Not to mention... Yang's Enterprise has an independent intelligence system on Earth and the colony satellite. They will not collect intelligence from VEGAN, but specialize in collecting black materials from senior executives, business leaders and politicians of the Federation.
If you really want to use black material to deal with Yang Enterprise, then you have to consider how much leverage the other party has on you.
When [Bai Ze] arrived at Tordia, everyone exclaimed, because the holes on the hull were too scary. They had never seen [Bai Ze] suffer such a big damage. Then they saw the broken [Adele III] being transported to the arsenal for repair. They were all wondering what mission the [Tianren] squadron was carrying out? What kind of danger did they encounter.
But they could only guess, after all, the missions of the [Tianren] squadron were mostly confidential, and EXA-DB was even more confidential. Leaking any of it would be sentenced to treason.
However, Yang Hui, Graham, Yulin and Arthur didn't care about these. They had more important things to worry about.
"You bastard! Why didn't you take care of Chio?" Arthur's chest was full of anger, and he didn't care that Flit was his father.
Because Chio was captured by VEGAN, along with the Gundam AGE-3.
"..." Faced with Asem's scolding, Fleet felt guilty. He had promised to take care of Chio, but he didn't fulfill his promise, let alone fulfill his grandfather's duties.
"Okay, Asem, calm down."
Yang Hui didn't feel much about Chio being captured. When he arrived at Tordia and saw the Song Princess under overhaul, he guessed the result.
And without them following, the Song Princess alone faced the grown-up Gerhardt and his guards. Even if Fleet was at his peak, he might suffer, not to mention that they had to face Zanad, a ruthless man at the same time.
The Abyss team was also considered excellent in the Federation, but on the one hand, they were outnumbered, and on the other hand, there was no ace pilot in charge (Fleet was old), so the capture of Chio and Gundam was an inevitable result.
And...
"But!"
"Calm down! Asem, there is no point in pursuing responsibility now. The most urgent task is to find a way to rescue Chio." Yang Hui said.
"...Tsk!" Asem let go of Fleet and stepped back, but his angry eyes expressed his inner thoughts: "If anything happens to Qio, I will not forgive you!"
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yang Hui put aside Qio's matter for the time being and asked Fleet about the mission: "What is the situation at the Luna Base?"
"...It can be confirmed that there was a mutiny." Fleet took a deep breath, suppressed his self-blame and guilt, and replied, "We haven't arrived at the Luna Base yet, and they sent a fleet to greet us. I think something is wrong. The other party is too enthusiastic. Ainas also thinks so, so we immediately turned to leave, but when we refused to go to the Luna Base, the fleet launched an attack on us, and there were even many VEGANs hiding around. It was in this battle that Qio was..."
As he spoke, he was involved in Qio again. Fleet's mood was filled with self-blame again, and his somewhat turbid eyes flashed with tears.
Qio was captured by VEGAN, and he was the saddest.
First, he is Chio's grandfather, and he raised Chio by hand, and the degree of intimacy between them is even closer than that between Yasem and Chio; second, Chio is Fleet's hope, and the grandson who has the greatest hope of becoming a savior and fulfilling his wish; third, Fleet was there at the time, and he once again experienced the unwillingness and guilt of not being able to protect his relatives.
"Okay! How old are you? Hold back your tears!" Yang Hui scolded.
"..."
"What VEGAN really wants is Gundam, so Chio will be fine, and I don't think VEGAN will do anything to a child." Yang Hui said to Fleet and Yasem.
"But that's VEGAN!" Fleet roared, and eased a little, but the idea that VEGAN is a devil still exists.
"So what about VEGAN? Isn't he a human? Have you wasted all these years?" Yang Hui scolded Fleet. He knew that Fleet was just too concerned, but such extreme thoughts must not appear. If Yang Hui did not stop him in time, Fleet would get deeper and deeper into this idea and eventually go down the old path.
"Tsk..."
"Qio should be imprisoned in the second moon now. Arthur, call Gerard and Reina, let's go save Qio."
"I'll get ready right away."
Yasem excitedly went to inform Gerald and Reina, without asking whether Yang Hui had a rescue plan. He just wanted to save his son now, even if he gave his life.
"I also……"
"Don't go there."
Fleet also wanted to prepare the machine body and follow in the rescue plan, but was opposed by Yang Hui.
"Why? Qiao is my grandson. I failed to take good care of him. I must..."
"Shut up!"
Fleet kept on preparing reasons for himself, but Yang Hui shut him up with a sharp shout.
"How can you save people in your current state? There is no way to rescue Qiao as a regular military mission. Even if the high-level people know about it, they will actively abandon Qiao. We can only rescue him ourselves!"
"Then I'll be just fine..."
"You are a civilian, but this rescue operation must be a secret operation. Your behavior will only increase the probability of us being exposed in advance! You haven't taken care of Chiao enough, and you still want us all to be trapped in VEGAN's base camp?"
"..."
"Calm down, Fleet, stay calm at all times, have you forgotten?"
"...I haven't forgotten."
Fleet immediately cooled down his fiery brain. He had to admit that his condition was indeed not suitable for participating in rescue operations. It would only increase the danger, but...if we really wanted to say it, Yang Hui and the others were not suitable for rescue operations either. ?
"You all have military positions now. If the people above find out, they will definitely make things difficult for you." Fleet reminded.
"No problem, the three of us now belong to the [Celestial Being] Brigade. The [Celestial Being] Brigade is only responsible to the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Army. I will contact Arugureas immediately and ask him to give us orders in the form of a formal mission. ”
Although it is a personal act, Yang Hui and others who hold military positions are indeed not suitable to act without authorization. Although they are not afraid of speaking out, as soldiers, they must abide by their duties. As a qualified soldier, they cannot act without authorization.
However, due to the special nature of the [Celestial Being] brigade and their relationship with Alugureas, it would be no problem to request a confidential order, but it would not be reported to the top federal officials.
Moreover... even if the Federation knew about it afterwards, they would not dare to use this matter to make things difficult for them. If it had happened before, they could have banned it and prevented them from carrying out rescue operations. But when the matter was settled, no matter how many accusations they made, It makes no sense, and with the identities of Yang Hui and the others, they don't dare to go too far, let alone make things difficult for Qiao.
This is also one of the reasons why only a few of them acted, rather than the entire [Celestial Being] brigade acting together.
The current [Celestial Being] brigade is no longer what it used to be. Anyone who is provoked will dare to directly confront the Federation, with Yang Hui as the absolute core.
The other members of the [Celestial Being] brigade are all ordinary soldiers, and their careers are still in the hands of the Federation. If they follow them, the senior officials of the Federation will not dare to make things difficult for Yang Hui and the others, but they will turn to find trouble for others. Yang Hui does not want this The incident affected the prospects of other members.
…
"I understand. In the name of the temporary commander-in-chief of the federal army, I order, Lieutenant General Yang Hui, Lieutenant General Graham, Lieutenant General Yulin, Lieutenant Colonel Asim, Lieutenant Gerald, Lieutenant Reina, the above six people Set off immediately, sneak into VEGAN’s base camp, recapture Gundam AGE-3, and rescue Chio Asuka.”
"Yes." X6
This is the tacit understanding between Aruguleas and Yang Hui. After hearing the details, he issued the order without any hesitation. Moreover, this order will only be kept by himself and will not be passed to the federation. In the upper ears.
Although the federal government has gone through a cleansing process, it has eliminated the biggest traitor, the Orphea family.
But... everyone understands, so the relationship between Alugureas and the higher-ups has never been very good.
"That's what it is..." The formal order has been issued, and Alugureas also relaxed and thought of several difficulties in this mission, "... you have obtained the formal order, but how are you going to get there? Again How to come back? [Bai Ze] cannot be used, and there is no fleet to respond to you."
"I contacted my family and a transport ship arrived in Tordia immediately."
"Transport ship?" Alugureas raised his eyebrows.
"100% transport ship, unarmed."
"Well...I know." Alugureas didn't ask any more questions.
"Then Lieutenant General, I wish you good military luck. When you return safely, it will be time to take back the Luna Base."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've gone to the second moon. I just didn't get to go sightseeing last time. I won't miss it this time."
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a lieutenant general, so that's it. I will also go to the universe in the near future."
"good."
After hanging up the communication, Yasem, Gerald and Reina all looked at Yang Hui with strange expressions, very interested in the transport ship he mentioned...!
