Chapter 600 Assassination of Cruze

After the battle, there were pieces of wreckage and debris left behind, including those of the Principality of Zeon, the Republic of Zeon, and the Federation. It was impossible for a large-scale direct confrontation to have no casualties. Even a tiny stray bullet was fatal.

"How many casualties?" Yang Hui returned to the Luna and asked Baki Lulu.

"11 people were slightly injured, 5 were seriously injured, and 4 were killed. This is the list." Baki Lulu reported truthfully.

Yang Hui took the list and frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. The 4 people who were killed were all newcomers from the 9th and 10th teams. Even among the 5 seriously injured, 3 were newcomers, and the majority were slightly injured.

"Sure enough, it is still too difficult for newcomers to face a large-scale direct confrontation." Yang Hui sighed. Newcomers had no actual combat experience. The first actual combat was the combat method that the 12th Independent Technical Force was least good at, which led to a reduction in personnel in the first actual combat, including the seriously injured, causing the two teams to lose more than half.

However, Yang Hui was not too sad, just regretful.

It is normal for people to sacrifice in war. Under the leadership of Yang Hui, the number of people who died in the 12th Independent Technical Force since its establishment is close to "10". In the eyes of others, it is absolutely a miracle to be able to participate in several wars at such a price.

But Yang Hui knows that those who can enter the 12th Independent Technical Force will all be elites of the Federation in the future. Under his conditions, every member is an absolute trump card in other forces.

To create an ace, it takes more than just harsh training.

As the saying goes, a person's success is 99% of hard work and 1% of talent.

Efforts are naturally very important, but without that 1% of talent, you can never get a complete 100%.

So if you want to be an absolute trump card, you must have the potential to become a trump card, which cannot be obtained through acquired training. It is a pity that every potential future trump card dies in advance.

"Where is the fleet of Luna 2?" Yang Hui asked.

"We have entered the L4 space domain and are expected to arrive at the Republic of Zeon at 0900 tomorrow, Earth time."

"Send the same message to the Republic of Zeon."

"Understood."

"What is the situation on Earth?"

"According to the news from Luna II, the Zeon army on Earth has committed serious rebellion. Many Zeon soldiers have rebelled against the command of the Principality of Zeon and announced their joining the Republic of Zeon. General Revil has adopted a steady-advance strategy and is gradually recovering lost territory."

"It seems that Cruze is doing a good job in the parliament."

Zeon is in a major chaos, but Revil did not launch a fierce attack at this time to completely drive Zeon out of the earth before the chaos ends. Instead, his steady-advance strategy was not impeached by the Federal Parliament, which is very abnormal.

Moreover, the top leaders of the Federal Parliament will not sit idly by when they learn that the Republic of Zeon holds the original text of the Universal Century Charter, a powerful weapon that poses a huge threat to their status and power.

But now the Federal Parliament has not made the decision to impeach Revil. Someone must have persuaded the Federal Parliament. Garp is still unable to remove his identity as a general of the Federal Army, so this person can only be Cruze.

"By the way, the Intelligence Department sent a message that Kycilia Zabi has returned to space, and the power of the Earth Attack Army has been handed over to Mark Bay."

"Hmm? Mark Bay?"

"Yes."

"He is a ruthless man. What has the Zeon Army done recently?"

"Shrinking the defense, giving up most of the unimportant lost territory, and switching to a full defensive state."

"Hmm..." There is nothing wrong with this action. After all, it is impossible to launch an attack in a chaotic situation with a large number of rebellions breaking out internally. Giving up unimportant territories and shrinking all effective combat power to important strongholds to resist the Federation's attack is the best choice.

But... Yang Hui always felt that something was wrong.

Baki Lulu stood quietly by the side, without interrupting, waiting for Yang Hui's thinking.

"…Remind Rebil to be careful when recovering lost territory. Mark Beck is a ruthless man and will not let them recover lost territory easily."

"Do you need to pass a message to Cruze?"

"No, let him do it freely."

"I'll do it right away."

"Colonel, Captain, General Tianm called and ordered us to return to Luna 2 immediately. The defense of the Republic of Zeon will be taken over by the 10th, 11th, and 12th fleets and the subsequent reinforcements of the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th fleets."

"Eight reorganized fleets?" Yang Hui frowned when he heard this. Eight reorganized fleets to assist the Republic of Zeon in defending against the retaliation of the Principality of Zeon, isn't this number too much? With the current number of the Federation's space fleets, the Federation has sent nearly half of its troops.

But soon, Yang Hui was relieved. The Federation's real intention was not to drink. It was called defense, but it was actually surveillance, right?

However, Yang Hui didn't care too much. Of the eight space fleets sent, the first three were all made up of Rebil and Tianm's people. The five additional fleets should also be made up of Rebil's people. With Rebil at the top, the people below would not mess around.

"Yes."

"Did General Tianm tell us why we should return to Luna 2?" Yang Hui asked. This was what Yang Hui was concerned about. The Principality of Zeon's revenge against the Republic of Zeon had not yet been completely concluded. The fleet departing from the Solomon Fortress would soon arrive at the L4 space region.

What did they want to do by calling them back at this time?

"General Tianm said there was a confidential mission."

"Confidential mission?"

"Yes."

"Well... I know. Let everyone get ready. We will return immediately."

"Yes!"

Tianm called him back so anxiously and emphasized the "confidential mission", which showed that the situation was urgent and his help was very much needed.

In this case, Yang Hui went back to see what Tianm was up to.

As for the defense of the Republic of Zeon, the eight reorganized fleets plus the power in Char's hands could not repel the attack of the Solomon Fleet. It would be destroyed. Char had no such fate.

...

"You are leaving?" Char was stunned when he saw Yang Hui coming to say goodbye to him.

"Well, Tianm is a little anxious."

"Well... I understand."

"Don't worry about the Federation Fleet. Whether they are our people or not, they dare not attack you now. But you must also be careful that there are some people with ulterior motives mixed in. Protect yourselves and the original text of the Universal Century Charter, and there will be no problems."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. By the way, the Federal Parliament sent us a telegram and will send diplomats to negotiate with us on matters related to the alliance."

"On the Parliament side, use the communicator I gave you to contact a person named Lao Lu Cruze. He will handle everything."

"Huh? Lao Lu Cruze? What a surprise." Char was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a meaningful arc.

"Why? Do you know him?"

"No, the person in charge of the diplomatic team sent by the Federal Parliament this time is called Lao Lu Cruze."

"Wow?" Yang Hui also smiled, and his smile seemed mysterious, with a hint of expectation, "This is really interesting."

Because the meeting of the two most powerful and sinister masked men in the history of Gundam must be very interesting, but it's a pity that he can't see this scene.

…

The shuttle Cruze was riding broke through the atmosphere. Looking at the huge fleet in front of him, Cruze's mouth curled up, thinking of the interesting expressions that might appear on the faces of the pigs in the Federal Parliament in the future.

"Sure enough, the older people get, the more they will know how to cherish."

Eight reorganized fleets, just for a tiny newly restored country, sent nearly half of the Federation Space Force's troops to control it. It can be seen how worried they are about the Republic of Zeon, no, it should be the existence of the original "Universal Century Charter".

"Kacha~"

At this moment, a gun suddenly pointed at Cruze's head, but Cruze remained calm, as if he had expected all this.

"To be honest, I'm surprised. I gave you many chances along the way. Why did you wait until now to do it?" Cruze asked the person behind him without looking back.

"..."

"Don't talk? Well... Hold the gun steadily. It's very dangerous for a killer to expose his mentality." As he said, Cruze slowly turned his head and looked at the person behind him with a smile on his face.

This man is Cruze's secretary. He has been with Cruze since before Cruze entered the Federal Parliament. He was fully investigated before being selected as a secretary. His background is very clean and he is a very ordinary person.

And now, he pointed a gun at Cruze. Just as Cruze thought, the secretary was trembling all over and sweating.

"Yes... I'm sorry... Lord Cruze, I... I..."

"Bribery? Or threat?"

Cruze found that the secretary was obviously panicked when he heard the word "threat". After getting the answer, he continued to ask: "Myself? Family?"

When he heard the word "family", he seemed even more panicked. Cruze confirmed the answer and knew the reason.

"How many years have you been with me?" Cruze didn't look like someone in danger at all. He was very calm.

"Five years..." The secretary turned his head away in shame and didn't look at Cruze. He was indeed very guilty. He was just an ordinary person, the kind that couldn't be found in the crowd. It was Cruze who gave him the opportunity and let him have his current life.

But this move ruined his chance. Cruze's hand reached out like lightning and snatched the gun from the secretary's hand, and then...

"Bang~!"

A bullet pierced the secretary's head, leaving a hideous bloody hole between his eyebrows.

The gunshot attracted the attention of the guards, and several men in suits and sunglasses immediately rushed into the cabin, holding guns in their hands. However, seeing that Cruze was safe, they relaxed and waited for Cruze's instructions.

"Deal with him, and by the way, check the situation of his family and who instructed him."

"Yes."
