Chapter 572 Two Bad News
"You came?"
"Of course, I promised you before that I will personally award medals to you..."
"Is General Garp angry again?"
"Well……"
Rebil paused, his eyes shrunk to the size of mung beans, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Then all his grievances, anger, and resentment burst out. He strode up to Yang Hui, grabbed his collar and raised it in front of him, and cursed loudly.
"You brat! It's not because of you! Do you know how valuable the equipment of your army is!? Can you take care of it a little more! I lost a Super Mega Cannon the first time, and another one the second time. Airframe, it’s the third time you’ve lost so many sets of water-specific equipment, why don’t you lose yourself?”
"Uh, haha, this... that..." Yang Hui looked away awkwardly, not daring to look at Ray Bill.
No one knows better than Yang Hui how much the Heretic Gundam and all its equipment cost. To put it bluntly, the materials and funds spent by the MS unit of the 12th Independent Technical Force were used to form an army with the old Mazeren-class battleship as the core. The space fleet is not a big problem.
Raybil's anger is understandable. Although the promise was made by himself, he promised to provide the 12th Independent Technical Force with a full complement of Heretic Gundam.
But Yang Hui's behavior of not cherishing his equipment and always throwing it into enemy-occupied areas and blasting and destroying it still stung his nerves. No, it should have stung Ge Pu's nerves first, and then Ge Pu stung Ray Bill's nerves again, and Ray Bill's nerves too. The only way to vent his anger was to stimulate Yang Hui's nerves.
"Don't you know how valuable those equipment are? The Federation fully supports you, but we are not letting you bring the Federation down! No matter how many mines there are, they can't withstand your building it like this!"
"Isn't it...there's nothing we can do about it?" Yang Hui spread his hands and sneered, "Our mission is inherently dangerous, and the loss of equipment is normal, and we have produced corresponding results, right?"
"Hmph." Ray Bill pushed Yang Hui away and drank the fine tea from Yang Hui's cup. "If you hadn't produced corresponding results, what I would have brought was not a commendation but a dismissal order!"
"Looks like I'm doing pretty well."
"Well, it's indeed good. Kycilia Zabi was captured, and Zeon's Earth Attack Army was in chaos. We seized this opportunity to launch a beautiful counterattack, but there are two bad news."
Hearing this, Yang Hui put away the smile on his face: "What's the bad news?"
"The chaos on the Zeon Earth has stabilized. Do you still remember that Mark Bay?"
"It's him?"
"Well, this person is not simple. After the news of Kycilia Zabibe's capture spread, he immediately took over the command. Now he has brought all the chaos on the earth under control and is gathering strength to launch a counterattack. "
"Yeah." If it was Mark Bay, Yang Hui wouldn't be surprised at all. Mark Bay was the most powerful card in Kycilia Zabi's hand. He had excellent military command and mobile suit driving skills. At the same time, he was also An MS designer, he has spearheaded many MS development plans, but his pride has made him aim too high. The performance of the MSs he designed are all very good, but none of them have been adopted by the military, not because of the cost. If it is too high, it means it is too difficult to operate, and all of them are discarded.
This is the case with the YMS-15 [Strongman], not only because the combat-enhanced body is not as good as the MS-14A [Warrior] with more balanced performance, but also because the overly complex operating system led to the defeat in the competition between the two bodies. .
"Second bad news, Kycilia Zabi escaped."
"Escaped!?" Yang Hui stood up suddenly and stared at Ray Bill dumbfounded. What was he going to do? Not long after he caught her, he let her escape?
"She was rescued by a traitor in the army," Ray Bill explained.
"Haha." Yang Hui smiled coldly, feeling that Ray Bill was really insulting his IQ, "A traitor? What level of traitor is capable of rescuing Kycilia Zabi? Under the eyes of the federal army? General? "
"..." Ray Bill was speechless. Kycilia Zabi immediately reported to Gabro Base after Ethan Lea took over. Ray Bill also sent the most trusted elite troops to escort Base. Celia Zabi went to federal headquarters in Geneva for custody.
As a result, just after arriving in Geneva, his men had just left, and the prison where Kycilia Zabi was being held was attacked. Kycilia Zabi successfully escaped from prison and is now missing.
"To be honest, General Rebel, I am very disappointed in you and General Gepu." Yang Hui did not give any face to Rebel. The cooperative relationship requires the joint efforts of both parties to maintain it.
Yang Hui thought he had done a great job, assisting the Federation Army in developing mobile suits that surpassed the performance of the Zaku and a new-generation main carrier. He also led his people to fight in several war zones, helping the Federation win several major victories.
In the end, where are Ray Bill and Garp? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities? The equipment and funds are indeed in place, and Yang Hui has been given autonomy. However, since Yang Hui joined the federal army, the top leadership of the federation has not been clean. It has been so long and it has not been cleaned up, leaving them under deadly hidden arrows. .
"You should say this to Ge Pu, I am in charge of the military, and he is in charge of the political circle." Faced with Yang Hui's accusation, Ray Bill dumped the blame unceremoniously.
"He's not here, so I can only look for you."
"Well...what do you want?" Yang Hui took the initiative to bring up this matter. Naturally, he would not break off the cooperation with Rebil and Gepu, but take the opportunity to make a request to Rebil.
"When will the second [Qilin-class] ship you promised me be in place?"
"It is under construction and is expected to be delivered to you next month."
"Expand two more teams and equip them with a full set of equipment..."
"No problem..."
"I need another person, Rita Bernal."
"This..."
If it was someone else, Rebil would have agreed without thinking, but the appearance of Rita Bernal's name made him hesitate, because this person was not in the federal army, but in the hands of the federal high-level officials, and was locked up in a laboratory. Moreover, the federal high-level officials valued her very much, and it would be very difficult for Rebil to take her away.
"Change your request."
"Only this one."
"Why her?"
"Because she's NT."
"It's not that simple. This is definitely not your real reason."
"What do those beasts in the Federation plan to do with her? Do you really need me to explain it clearly?"
"...I know."
"It doesn't matter what else you do. This person must be handed over to me."
"I'll deal with it."
"By the way, deal with that Erlang. He's a spy for Zeon."
"...I'll find out."
Rebil didn't agree immediately. He wouldn't arrest an officer for "espionage" just because of Yang Hui's one-sided statement. Erlang was indeed dealt with because of the Lacus concert, but he said that he was also threatened by someone, and then transferred to the Space Army under the guarantee of Kim Koniman. It's not that easy to take him down.
Yang Hui shrugged. Anyway, Erlang was officially in the Space Army, and it was Kim Koniman's unit. He couldn't do anything to sabotage. With Tianm there, Luna 2 was also impregnable and couldn't touch his interests.
Moreover, Yang Hui hoped that Rebil would not find out. Then he would have a chance to personally deal with this person who had evil intentions towards Lacus.
"The mission in the East Asian theater is over. You..."
"General Rebil, donkeys are not used like this, right?" Yang Hui interrupted Rebil directly and said unhappily, thinking that he was going to take his men to fight in other places again.
"... I just told you that the war situation has entered a stalemate stage. There will be no large-scale battles in the short term. You can have a good rest." Rebil squinted his eyes and stared at Yang Hui.
"Uh... Ahaha."
"But you only have two weeks of rest time. After two weeks, you will return to the universe, return to Luna 2, and help Tianm seize the Earth's orbit."
The Earth's orbit must be taken back, even if only a part of it is taken back. Otherwise, the Earth and the universe will be completely cut off by Zeon. Let alone launching a counterattack, it will be difficult to shrink all the time.
"Two weeks..." Yang Hui calculated the time, thinking about what he could do during this time, and then nodded, "...I know."
"Well, let's go."
"Where to?"
"The medal ceremony promised to you can start. Congratulations, Colonel Yang Hui."
...
The training ground of the East Asian Theater's headquarters was temporarily arranged. The headquarters and nearby troops were asked to visit the medal ceremony of the 12th Independent Technical Unit.
Behind Rebil, there were several officers, all holding trays in their hands, and the trays were piled with boxes of medals. Rebil led them to shuttle through the neat queues, one after another, and personally put medals on the soldiers of the 12th Independent Technical Unit.
"Congratulations, brave soldiers, and thank you at the same time, thank you for your contributions to the Federation and the Earth. I hope you will continue to work hard and create more brilliant achievements."
"Pa pa pa pa pa..." The last conclusion represents the end of the medal ceremony, and warm applause ends.
The visiting troops were full of envy. They were eager to get such an honor. The officers were also very shocked. Including Ethan Leia, it was the first time to see so many people awarded medals at the same time.
Not only medals, but all members of the 12th Independent Technical Unit were promoted. New recruits were directly promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, and those who were originally officers were all promoted by one level. As the leader of the 12th Independent Technical Unit and the biggest contributor, Yang Hui jumped two levels and became the youngest colonel in the history of the Federation.
"Congratulations, Colonel Yang Hui. I didn't expect that in such a short time, you and I are on the same level." Ethan Leia congratulated Yang Hui, but at the same time he was a little depressed, wondering if he was getting old.
"It's all thanks to your support."
"Being too modest is just pride."
"Well, I'm just that capable. I'm too good. There's nothing I can do about it."
"Hahaha, that's your style. Where are you going to go on vacation?"
"First, I'm going to Shanghai. I have a sister I haven't seen for a long time. I'm going to see her."
"Sister?"
"My friend's sister, who is also my sister. Then I'll go home to see her. There are some things at home that need to be dealt with."
"I see. I wish you a happy vacation."
"Thank you."
"Ding~"
