Chapter 601 Cruze and Char's First Meeting
A few days later, the five fleets escorting Cruze and the diplomats arrived safely in the Republic of Zeon. Char and Cruze, the sinister masked men from two different worlds, met for the first time.
I don’t know if it was the special induction between the same people, but at the moment of meeting, both of them felt like they saw another self.
“Interesting.”
“Interesting.”
The same idea, the same smile, the same pace, the same number of steps to each other, the same hand extended to each other, and then shook hands.
“Hello, I am R. Lu. Cruze, the head of the Federal Parliament delegation.”
“Hello, I am Caspar Zim Deiken, the current chairman of the Republic of Zeon.”
“I hope you will have a pleasant conversation with us.”
“Sure, please.”
“Please.”
The first meeting between the two sides was very friendly. Through the microphones in the hands of reporters and the cameras on the shoulders of photographers, this scene was shown to the citizens of the Republic of Zeon, relaxing their worried hearts and becoming more determined to follow the Republic of Zeon.
Today was just a welcome, and tomorrow would be the first formal meeting. Char did not put on airs and personally escorted the delegation to their accommodation. In order to show the attitude of the Republic of Zeon and to protect the safety of the delegation, Char even asked the [Ghost Force] to come as a guard.
After arriving at the arranged hotel, Char did not leave immediately, but made an appointment with Cruze to have a private conversation in advance.
"His Highness Caspar, what do you have to say to me alone?"
"Lao Lu Cruze, Yang Hui asked me to find you before he left."
Cruzet knew that Char was Yang Hui's partner, but he did not know that Yang Hui had told Char about his relationship with Yang Hui, which made Cruze's smile stiff for a moment, and then it was gone in an instant, and he immediately recovered.
"Excuse me, Mr. Char." In this case, Cruze did not hide it. Yang Hui could tell Char about the relationship between the two, which meant that he was no longer a partner, but a recognized companion. Since they were companions, there was no need to hide it.
"Char... Haha, this name makes me feel more at ease." Char smiled and went straight to the point, "Mr. Cruze, I want to know what the attitude of the Federal Parliament is towards the Republic of Zeon?"
"The top leaders are very afraid of what you have in your hands. This time I suppressed them. They dare not do anything openly, but I don't know in private."
"It's the expected result. You came here this time, first to stabilize us, and second to test the bottom, right?"
"Yes, and I am..."
"Abandoned?"
"Yes, the old guy Speaker may hate me now. If something happens to me again, the contradiction between the Republic of Zeon and the Federation will be intensified immediately, and the fleet that sent me here will have a reason to fire at you, killing two birds with one stone."
"No, it should be killing three birds with one stone." Char added, "Once the Federation fleet breaks out in battle with us, the casualties will be General Rebil's men. No matter what the final result is, there will be heavy losses, which will weaken General Rebil's power."
"As expected of Mr. Char." Cruze praised.
"Looks like I passed the test?"
"Of course."
The third point that Char added, did Cruze really not think of it? Of course not, he and Char are the same kind of people, even in the field of intelligence, Cruze is better than Char, and he may be able to think of what Char can think of.
In fact, Cruze has always been curious about Char, what kind of person is it that makes Yang Hui feel that he must fight for him to become their companion, you know, Cruze didn't have this treatment at the time.
Ahem, okay, Cruze himself knows in his heart that the reason why he is not necessary is because his behavior is a bit excessive.
His test of Char is just like the test of Huang, Wang Liumei, Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria to him back then. He trusts Yang Hui, but it does not mean that he trusts everyone he likes. He needs to use his own eyes to confirm whether they are worthy of Yang Hui's attention.
If not... anyway, this is his job.
Although it is just a small test, it can also let Cruze understand Char better.
"Haha, you are indeed the one Yang Hui has chosen." This time, it was Char's turn. He also wanted to see what kind of person Yang Hui's companion was.
He had met and understood Malu, Kira, and Arnold Neumann. He felt that they were all people who lived in the sun. If a team, or a team with a heavy mission, only sunny people were impossible, and Malu and others trusted Yang Hui too much, so much that they would firmly believe in whatever Yang Hui said.
If a team was full of such people, and Yang Hui was left alone to bear all the dark sides, then could this team really go far?
So he wanted to see what kind of person was the one who could make a good living in the Federal Parliament. Was he like Malu and the others, throwing all the dark sides to Yang Hui to face?
"Aren't you the same, Mr. Char?" Char had said this, and Cruze also understood that Yang Hui had told Char about the Promise Fortress, and Char, like Cruze, was the person in charge of the dark side.
"Just call me Char, Cruze."
"Haha, to be honest, it's a little hard to get used to having someone who looks just like me in the team." Cruze joked.
"Don't worry, Cruze, I don't intend to take your job."
"That's not easy."
"It's really not easy."
"Haha." Xia Ya has never felt so relaxed, but at the same time, he has never felt so heavy. Cruze sitting opposite him is like his own shadow, his own thoughts, his own concerns, his own lies , can you hide it from yourself?
"So Cruze, is there anything I need to know?"
"It might take a while."
"We're not short of time right now."
…
On the other side, Yang Hui also rushed back to Luna 2 with the 12th Independent Technical Force.
"General Tianmu, why are you in such a hurry to call us back?" Yang Hui came to Tianmu's office and asked directly.
"Take a look at this first." Tianmu did not answer, but handed a piece of information to Yang Hui.
Yang Hui took a look at the information and frowned slightly: "Zeon's NT Research Institute?"
If I remember correctly, this research institute was only established in June this year, and it has just entered May...
However, soon, Yang Hui's brows widened, and even [Big Demon], [Tiger], [Zagulero], [Bigelow] and others appeared. It didn't matter that Flanagon Agency showed up in advance. Big deal.
"Yes, Zeon has started researching NT since Zeon Shim Daken proposed the "New Theory of Humanity", but Kilian Zabi has never paid much attention to it, focusing on the war with the Federation. ,until……"
"We showed up, right?"
"That's right."
The 12th Independent Technical Force's influence on the battlefield was astonishing, especially Yang Hui's combat effectiveness, which was simply not something that humans could possess.
It's said to be a trump card, but doesn't Zeon have a trump card? Moreover, Zeon's ace has been faster than the Federation in driving mobile suits for such a long time, so why can't he achieve the same effect?
In Kilian Zabi's view, there is only one conclusion, and that is NT, Yang Hui is NT, and Yang Hui has mastered the method of making other people become NT!
Otherwise, why would Yang Hui have such unreasonable fighting power? Why did his subordinates undergo earth-shaking changes after entering the 12th Independent Technical Force?
Therefore, Kilian Zabi also attaches great importance to the research of NT, hoping to use this method to find NT who are the same as or even surpass Yang Hui. He hopes to find a way to cultivate NT and reverse the gap between the two sides.
"Where is the Flanagan Institution... located?" Yang Hui asked.
"This is your next mission, find it, bring back all the research data, and then destroy it."
"...and then let you continue to use it?"
"...You should understand."
"Yes, I understand it very well." Yang Hui closed the information and threw it to Tianmu, his face turned cold, "But I know one more truth, even people can't do it, let alone those lofty ideals."
"...There is also this order book, you should also read it."
Yang Hui kept the frost on his face and took the order book handed over by Tianmu. He just glanced at it and tore it into pieces with a sneer: "Don't these people have any brains?"
This order was not issued by Ray Bill, but by one of the departments of the Federal Army's Central Research Institute. It was a department with a high level of confidentiality, also known as "Unnamed", and it was the kind of research institute that was shady.
The content of the order made Yang Hui immediately go to the research institute to cooperate with their research work.
The research work required Yang Hui's cooperation, and it was a shady research department. Don't think too much, it must be the NT research department.
This kind of shady research department has higher authority than other research departments, because although their research content is shady, it must be very important, and they even have the authority to mobilize all resources in the federal army.
Moreover... most of the researchers who participate in such research projects are desperate people to study, and they have no so-called moral bottom line. In order to get results, they will do anything, such as... using children for human experiments.
Such people don't care about external affairs, so they may not know that Yang Hui is directly under Rebir. To mobilize him, he needs to go through Rebir, and they don't care about Yang Hui's status in the federal army.
"It can't be said that it's impossible for people without brains to enter these departments, but it should be certain that half of the brains are missing." Tianmu rarely joked, but when he first received the order, he was indeed I also have this idea.
"I will investigate the Flanagan agency. As for the order..."
"Huh? What order book?"
Yang Hui gave Tianmu a thumbs up and left Tianmu's office with the information.
After Yang Hui left, Tianmu also drafted a telegram and sent it to General Ray Bill, and then thought about what Yang Hui just said.
"This guy is pretty good."
