Chapter 256 The Pink Princess

The next day, Siegel Klein held a press conference as agreed, publicly issued an apology statement for the collapse of Heliopolis, announced a settlement agreement with Orb, and announced the compensation terms.

However, Siegel Klein still played a trick. After doing all this, he also made public the fact that the Earth Army used Orb's neutral territory as a cover to develop MS, and claimed this as the main reason for the collapse of Heliopolis, calling on the Earth Army, as one of the participants in the collapse of Heliopolis, to apologize to Orb and make compensation.

"This old fox." Wang Liumei felt a headache about this. He thought he had won a complete victory, but he didn't expect that he was still tricked by this group of old foxes in the end.

Now, Orb is about to face the full oppression of the Earth Union, especially the Atlantic Federation. Compared with PLANT, the Atlantic Federation can really be called a "madman".

With its powerful military force, it has always held the attitude of "I will beat you until you obey" in diplomatic affairs. Moreover, the military leaders of the Atlantic Federation are basically from [Blue Cosmos]. They are very sharp in their attitude towards the adjusters, and they have always oppressed other countries that do not hate the adjusters as much as they do, especially Orb, where natural people and adjusters live together.

Now Siegel Klein has announced the news of the reconciliation between Orb and PLANT, and even blamed the Earth Army. PLANT is far away, and ZAFT is deadlocked. They have no way, but Orb is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully.

Thinking of this, Wang Liumei immediately sent a message to Orb on Earth, especially contacting her father in this world and Yang Hui's father, asking them to immediately contact other neutral countries, as well as the East Asian Union, the South African Unified Organization and other members of the Earth Federation that have good relations with Orb, to support them in resisting the suppression of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation.

And she herself has to return to Orb as soon as possible, otherwise, her father and Yang Hongyu alone may not be able to withstand it.

"Are you leaving now? Can't you stay a few more days?" Renoa Sara reluctantly asked. Although she had seen the news and the apology statement and thought about the deeper level, Wang Liumei was still a girl after all. Shouldn't adults worry about such things? It was difficult for her to go to PLANT for diplomatic negotiations alone.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Sara, I have to return to Orb."

"Okay, if you have the chance, come to PLANT again, and bring the emperor with you next time."

"Okay, Mrs. Sara, I'll take my leave first."

Wang Liumei said goodbye to Renoa Sara and went directly to the spaceport, where she happened to meet Aslan on his way back to the team.

"Wang Liumei? Are you leaving?"

"Yes, there are still things to deal with in the country. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it's time to go back."

"I don't know when we will see each other again next time."

"If there is a chance, are you going to return to the team?"

"Yes." Aslan nodded and whispered to Wang Liumei, "Lacus's ship disappeared."

"How could it be?"

"I don't know. My unit will immediately set out to launch a rescue operation."

"I hope you can find Lacus."

"Thank you."

"Then we will part ways now."

"Okay."

Wang Liumei separated from Aslan and boarded the shuttle to return to Orb.

"If we set off now, aren't you afraid of accidents on the return journey?"

"That's why you are traveling with me as my guard, right? Tieria."

The person who has been waiting for Wang Liumei's return in the shuttle is Tieria. This trip will inevitably affect the relationship between Orb and PLANT. In order to prevent the other party from jumping off the wall, Tieria is allowed to accompany as a guard.

Of course, Tieria is not alone. This shuttle is much larger than ordinary shuttles. Behind the cabin is a container for MS, and Tieria's body is in it.

At the same time, Huang led Setsuna and Lyle to wait not far from the PLANT colony satellite group. In case of emergency, Tieria can also take Wang Liumei to meet up with Huang and others and retreat safely.

But now... it is not ZAFT that needs to be guarded against, but the people of the Earth Federation.

"By the way, Yang Hui sent a message, asking us to go to the wreckage area immediately and wait."

"Now at this time..." Wang Liumei frowned slightly, not because she felt that the timing was not good. As long as Yang Hui needed it, it was no problem to put herself in danger. At most, she would return to PLANT immediately and stay for a while. What she was worried about was whether Yang Hui was in danger.

Huang, Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria are Yang Hui's biggest trump cards. According to their plan, they are not exposed at this stage, but Yang Hui took the initiative to send them out, which means that it has reached the point where they have to be used. So...

"After the reunion, let's go to the designated coordinates immediately."

"What about your safety?"

"I can go with the ship, and the matter of Orb can be left to Orb's people to resist for a while."

"...Will this affect Yang Hui's plan?"

"When you received the communication, the plan had already changed. I believe Sister Huang has made corrections."

"...Okay."

Without wasting time, the shuttle immediately set off, left the territory of PLANT, and reunited with the silent transport ship.

"You are back."

"Well, Sister Huang, has the plan been corrected?"

"It has been completed. We are likely to be exposed in advance, but Yang Hui instructed us to act as mercenaries first. You need to rush back to Orb immediately. The Atlantic Federation will definitely put pressure on Orb..."

"It doesn't matter. I have sent a message to him and Yang Hongyu. We can hold on for a while."

"That's good. We will set off immediately."

"Well."

...

The sight turned to the other side. At this time, the Archangel had entered the wreckage area, and...

As expected, the Archangel picked up the escape pod that Lacus was riding, but unlike the original plot, the long-distance forced reconnaissance re-seating type [Geen] that came to find Lacus was not directly destroyed, but was captured by the Archangel after losing its combat capability.

The two ZAFT pilots were temporarily detained, and Lacus was questioned by Maru, Bakilulu and Mu, but... Yang Hui also participated in this questioning. After all, Lacus greeted Yang Hui immediately after leaving the cockpit. It was obvious that they knew each other early.

"Thank you for bringing back my escape pod. I'm Lacus Klein." The beautiful and gentle girl sat in front of the four people without any fear. Instead, she was calm and gentle. She was not afraid because the other party was from the Earth Army. The white sleeveless long skirt highlighted her pure temperament, and the golden hairpin on her long pink hair made her look cute.

"Hello, Lacus, hello." During the self-introduction, Hello, who was held in Lacus's palm, flapped her ears "puff puff" to let everyone not ignore her existence.

"This is my friend, Hello." Of course, Lacus did not forget Hello, and was very enthusiastic to introduce him to Malu and the other two.

"Hello, Hello, you too."

"Ah..."

"That's enough..."

Malu and Mu both felt a headache, while Baki Lulu was full of thoughts.

They didn't know Lacus, but they knew the last name Klein, the last name of the chairman of PLANT, if they guessed correctly...

"Klein... the current chairman of PLANT's Supreme Council, I remember his name is Siegel Klein."

"Ah! Siegel Klein is really my father, do you know him?"

"Uh... Alas..."

When Lacus asked back with a natural and cute expression, the three of them felt their heads aching, secretly sighing that Lacus was really an innocent young lady, and didn't understand what was going on now?

"Alas, why would such a young lady come here?" asked Malu.

"I came here to prepare for the memorial ceremony for [Julius 7], and then our ship encountered the ship of the Earth Army..."

When the three heard it, they roughly guessed the subsequent development.

As expected, they asked for an inspection, and Lacus's side agreed, but they were unhappy after learning about their purpose, and the dispute eventually escalated into a conflict. Under the protection of the entourage, the young lady entered the escape pod and escaped, and was then picked up by them.

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Yang Hui with complicated eyes.

Yang Hui could only shrug his shoulders. He had expected the Earth Army's actions. Even if it was a civilian ship, the attitude towards the adjuster would not change because of civilians or identities.

The inquiry ended here. Lacus was told to stay in the room and not walk around in the ship. Yang Hui was pulled to the captain's office by the three again to discuss how to deal with Lacus.

"Sure enough, let's find a chance to send her away. The identity of this young lady is too sensitive..." Mu suggested.

"Alas, this won't be the surprise mentioned in the intelligence? This is too..." To be honest, Malu is now regretting it. If she had known that they were waiting for a hot potato, she would never agree to pass through the wreckage area.

"I personally suggest that she be detained and handed over to the military leaders after arriving at the lunar base. As the daughter of Siegel Klein, she has unimaginable value for us..." Bakilulu's opinion is in line with the Atlantic Federation's approach. From the perspective of the Earth soldiers, it is indeed correct, but...

"Sorry, if possible, can you hand her over to me?" Yang Hui asked.

"You? What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. She is my friend. I don't want to see her fall into the hands of the Earth Army, especially the Atlantic Federation."

"That won't work..."

"I approve it."

"Captain!"

"Second Lieutenant Bakilulu, I really can't see such a girl being used by the military leaders. You should be able to imagine what she will encounter." Malu persuaded. As an Earth soldier, she certainly knew that Bakilulu's approach was correct, but... she couldn't accept such a lovely girl being treated inhumanely, even if the girl's identity was important.

"This is a very important person to the Earth Army. If you can hand her over to the military leaders, do you know how much benefit you can get for the Earth Army?"

"That's why I ask you to hand her over to me."

Yang Hui did not use the righteousness to convince Baki Lulu, but only asked them in the name of Lacus's friends.

"Second Lieutenant Baki Lulu, I approve, let's handle this matter like this." Seeing that Baki Lulu still wanted to argue, Malu simply slammed the table and made a decision.

“…” Baki Lulu was helpless, and she couldn’t change the result. A higher rank can crush a person. Who asked Maru to be the captain? And she also had a share of the credit. But in this case, the catchphrase can’t be avoided, “I will report this matter to the higher authorities truthfully.”

“I will bear all the responsibilities.”

After the conversation, Baki Lulu glared at Yang Hui hatefully and left alone.

Yang Hui was a little depressed, because he felt an inexplicable resentment from Baki Lulu’s glare, and he didn’t know what was going on.

However, after confirming Lux’s handling, Yang Hui came to Lux’s room again.

“Ah, Yang Hui, you’re back? Are you okay? I’m a little hungry, can we go eat?”

“…Can you stop acting in front of me, Lux?”
