Chapter 410 Cruze's New Identity
Arriving at the Ministry of National Defense, Yang Hui found Huang who was busy. Seeing that she was staring at the map alone, Yang Hui quietly walked up from behind and hugged her waist.
Feeling the familiar warmth coming from her waist, Huang smiled slightly, leaned back and leaned on Yang Hui's arms.
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah."
Although it was not a war, the cost of maintaining peace was greater than that of war. Huang had been tense and didn't notice it until Yang Hui's embrace made her accumulated fatigue in the past few days surge up all at once.
"Take a break? I heard from them that you haven't had a good rest for a few days."
"No, I can't rest now. The military exercise has already begun. The Atlantic Federation's attitude is ambiguous. I have to make arrangements for the backup plan in case the Atlantic Federation is desperate..."
"It's almost rotten to death, so it won't jump over the wall, don't worry." Yang Hui directly picked up the emperor horizontally, and then sat on the sofa beside him, letting the emperor sit on his legs and rest against his chest, "As long as we don't really do anything to them, they won't care about us."
"That's why people are worried." Huang's worry did not come out of thin air. The Atlantic Federation has been spoiled. It can be seen from the performance of pretending to be strong when attending the peace talks as a defeated country. "It's precisely because they haven't made any moves that I'm worried about what they are planning."
"What about civil unrest?"
"Hehe, although I know you are fooling me and want me to rest, I am very happy." Huang chuckled and stroked Yang Hui's cheek.
That's right, whether it's Huang or Yang Hui, or even the top leaders of the big forces, as long as they are not blind, they all know that the civil strife in the Atlantic Federation is just a child's play. The Atlantic Federation cannot be split. [Blue Cosmos] will not allow it, and [LOGOS] behind [Blue Cosmos] will not allow it.
Even Yang Hui and the others know that the black hand behind [LOGOS] will not allow it.
"Sister Huang, I'm... what's wrong? Am I here at the wrong time?" At this time, Wang Liumei came in. Her work was arranged properly. Knowing Huang's hard work, she came to see if she could help, and she saw this scene.
"Of course not." Yang Hui smiled, put Huang on his left leg, and patted his right leg.
Wang Liumei laughed when she saw this, walked over, sat on Yang Hui's right leg, and leaned in Yang Hui's arms like Huang.
"Thank you for your hard work, Liumei." Yang Hui stroked Wang Liumei's hair and said distressedly.
"Actually, I'm fine. The people's centripetal force is still very strong. There are not many government affairs that I need to handle personally. I can just arrange them. But for Sister Huang, I can't let others do it." Wang Liumei was also worried that Huang would be tired. Military affairs are not like internal affairs. Orb's military expansion, garrisons in various places, new army training, etc., these things can be arranged for others to do, but there are also many things that can only be done by Huang alone.
This is not distrust, but other people have no ability to handle it except Huang. For example, intelligence analysis, the entire staff combined is not as good as Huang. They are only qualified to check for loopholes and provide advice for Huang in analyzing intelligence and making plans.
Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria followed the First Fleet to conduct military exercises, which is the easiest, and even if they come back from the military exercises, they will let Setsuna and Lyle go to the universe to assist Mina in controlling the Boyaz Fortress and forming a space defense line.
But these tasks are short-term tasks. After completing them, they will return to their country and continue to serve as instructors for MS pilots to train excellent pilots for Orb.
Yang Hui is in charge of the overall situation. In addition to the R&D work, he is responsible for the general direction of other things, and the specific details will be handed over to the people below.
"By the way, let's calculate the time. Cruze's side... um~!"
"Okay, Liumei." Wang Liumei planned to talk to Yang Hui and Huang about the South American side. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was sealed by Yang Hui's mouth. After they separated, Yang Hui's Lianshan had a blaming expression, "It was not easy to convince Huang to take a break, and you want to talk about work again. Do you want her to tire herself to death?"
"Hehe, yes." Wang Liumei covered her mouth and laughed, with a black-bellied expression on her pretty face, "Sister Huang was the first, I was the second, Sister Huang was exhausted, and I am not the queen?"
"You girl! It turns out that you have ulterior motives, you should be punished!" Huang went berserk after hearing this, pounced on Wang Liumei and began to tickle her.
"Hahaha...I was wrong, sister Huang...hahaha...let me go...hahaha..."
"No! I must let you know today that your sister is your sister!"
"Haha, husband, help! Hahaha..." Seeing that Huang's rampage could not be stopped by begging for mercy, Wang Liumei could not stand it anymore and could only beg Yang Hui for mercy, but who knew...
When Huang pounced on Wang Liumei, Yang Hui had already left the sofa, walked to the door and locked it to prevent outsiders from breaking in and seeing the erotic scene, and then folded his hands and leaned against the wall to watch the two beauties playing.
"That won't do. The affairs of the harem are managed by the queen, Huang, and I can't interfere."
"Haha...you...haha...you and sister Huang...haha...bully me together!"
"Who told you to tire me to death!"
"Just a joke."
"I took it seriously!"
"Hehe, sister Huang is the best, at worst tonight..."
...
While Yang Hui and his two wives were busy, Orb's transport fleet could already see the coastline of South America with the naked eye.
"Are we there yet?" Cruze observed the situation on the shore with a telescope. He found nothing unusual, but he also maintained a high level of vigilance.
"Lord Vidal, everything is ready."
"...... Yeah." Hearing the subordinate's call, the corners of his mouth hidden behind the mask twitched, and then he answered the subordinate, "The MS troops will land first, the escort fleet will disperse, be alert to the surroundings, and the transport ship must be protected."
"Yes."
After the subordinate left, Cruze held the mask in his palm and trembled all over. It had been several days, and Cruze was still ashamed of his new identity.
In order not to expose his identity, Cruze's identity could not be used. He still wore a mask, but it was different from the previous one. It was better to say it was a helmet than a mask. The whole head was covered, tightly fitting without revealing anything. At the same time, it also came with a voice changer function, which changed his voice.
But...
"So why do you want me to be called this name? Do I look like the forest god in Norse mythology? Is this revenge on me?" Cruze didn't think there was anything wrong with using the name of God as his new identity. After all, what he had done qualified him to be called "God".
But... the forest god doesn't fit his image at all, right? You can call me Loki!
Moreover, although Cruze had no evidence, he was sure that the reason why Yang Hui called him Vidal was definitely not because of the forest god, but there must be other reasons!
"Alas, people have to bow their heads under the eaves."
Cruze was a person who accepted his fate. He knew his fate before and accepted the ending of death. Because of his tragedy, he decided to take revenge on the world, and even didn't want to believe that his fate could be changed.
When fate changed, Cruze ushered in a new life. It stands to reason that a person like him would not be willing to be inferior to others, but he still accepted his fate.
Why? Because he found that his tragedy was changed, but it also ushered in a new tragedy. Except for Yang Hui's side, he could not find a place for himself, and... he not only regarded Yang Hui's side as his own place, but also succumbed to his own desires.
The opportunity to go to other worlds, to meet more unknowns, the end of the infinite journey, his curiosity kept shouting in his mind, asking him to explore all of this.
…
The Orb fleet was getting closer and closer to the port, and the M1 heretics kept jumping from the warships and landing on the land of the port. The warships escorted the transport ships to approach, and then spread out in a fan shape.
The transport ship docked, and Cruze and a group of officials got off the ship and were warmly welcomed. The president of the United States of South America personally came to greet them with senior officials.
"Welcome to you, Mr. Vidal." Although I wondered why Cruze was wearing a mask and felt that the other party was a little rude, they were the one asking for help, and they needed patience and compliments.
"I'm very sorry that I can't show my true face, Mr. President. A fire once took away my face and my voice." A hoarse voice came from under the mask. This was also arranged by Yang Hui for Cruze. His face was burned and his voice was hoarse.
"I see." After hearing Cruze's explanation, the people of the United States of South America were relieved, although they were also puzzled as to why it could not be cured. The current medical technology can treat burn scars.
But everyone has their own past. According to the official document sent by Orb, Cruze is the Minister of Foreign Affairs this time, responsible for supporting all affairs of the United States of South America. There are also a fleet and MS troops coming, which makes them feel relieved. Orb did not send a small character who could not show his true face to perfunctory them.
"Mr. Vidal, please follow me. I have arranged accommodation for you."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. President."
Both sides gave a few instructions to their subordinates, arranged the work of unloading materials, and then got on the car together and left the port.
"Mr. Vidal, regarding our agreement with your country..."
"What? Mr. President, do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
"No, Mr. Vidal, there is nothing wrong with your request, and I believe your country will not be like the bandits of the Atlantic Federation." It's just that the ownership of the mine is completely acceptable to the United States of South America. Although the mine is owned by Orb, the workers used are still locals. This also solves the employment problem for the government of the United States of South America. Why don't they accept it?
As for the use of mineral resources to expand armaments... The United States of South America does not have much ambition. Perhaps they have been bullied by the Atlantic Federation for a long time, and they just want to maintain the existence of this country in peace.
"I just want to ask, how does your country plan to complete our agreement?"
Hearing this, Cruze raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of arrogance in his calmness: "You don't need to worry about this, Mr. President, we already have an action plan, and this kind of secret... The fewer people know, the safer it is, isn't it?"
