Mecha War: Starting From Gundam OO

Chapter 723 Official Appointment

“…I understand what you mean.” With the latest interception system and the uninterrupted surveillance of military satellites, Yang Hui’s plan is clear at a glance. If Sakura Country has nuclear bombs, let them have them, but as long as you dare to launch them, I will dare to let this nuclear bomb explode in your homeland!

Of course, this is only Yang Hui’s first-hand preparation. If possible, he does not want the nuclear bomb to explode over Sakura Country. It is not that the little devils deserve sympathy, but he intends to treat Sakura Country as his own territory. Since it is his future territory, no life restricted area is allowed.

And Yang Hui’s second-hand preparation…

“Hello, Lakshata.”

“Your Highness is really flattered to call me in your busy schedule.”

“Okay, Lakshata, be serious, how is the progress of Project No. 24?”

“…” Lakshata on the other end of the phone was silent. Among all the research projects left by Yang Hui, Project No. 24 is also a very special project. Depending on the method of use, it can benefit the world or destroy the world.

“50% has been completed.” In the end, Lakshata still answered Yang Hui.

"Stop everything you are doing and focus on the research of Project 24. I need it to be completed within a month."

"...It seems that the group of people from Sakura Country touched something they shouldn't have touched?" Lakshata asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I got it. I'll make sure you get what you want within a month."

"Please."

After the instructions, all that's left is waiting. Lakshata's personality is very different from Lloyd's. She will never make a promise if she can't hold it, but if she makes a promise, she will definitely complete it, so Yang Hui is relieved.

Following the fleet back to the concession, Yang Hui and others were warmly welcomed. The civilians were not aware of the entire process of the exercise. They only knew the final result, which was the victory of the Bunitalia Empire.

Although it was just an exercise, for civilians, the victory of the exercise was also an honor and a proof of the country's strength.

"Your Highness Cornelia, Your Highness Yang Hui, welcome back, congratulations on your victory in the exercise."

"This is a natural result. The Empire's army will not fear any enemy, let alone lose!"

"All hail britannia! All hail britannia! All hail britannia! All hail britannia!..."

For a moment, the entire concession was filled with the cheers of Bunitallia. Even the Sakura people next door to the concession couldn't help but be curious about what happened in the concession.

"Okay, everyone go back to their respective posts." While enjoying the cheers and shouts of the Bunitallia people, Cornelia returned to her office and asked the accompanying officials to disperse. The end of the exercise did not mean that the trip was over. There were still many things to do, including accompanying Yang Hui to take over the command of the troops stationed in the concession, as well as various arrangements before leaving Sakura Country.

"Is there anything else to report?" Everyone else had left, but the temporary person in charge did not leave, so Cornelia couldn't help asking.

"It's like this, Your Highness Cornelia. Before the two Your Highnesses return, the Imperial Cabinet meeting has sent a final decision. The former head of the concession will be punished for treason, executed, exiled, and permanently deported."

"That's all?" Cornelia raised her eyebrows. She could have imagined the man's fate without going through the cabinet meeting, and she didn't care about his life or death.

So the report of the temporary head is meaningless, and the flattery will make Cornelia feel disgusted.

"There is other news. I heard that the cabinet meeting has known what the two Your Highnesses have done, and the members are quite dissatisfied with their behavior..."

"If it's just this news, there's no need to say more." Cornelia interrupted the report of the temporary head. She and the group of people in the cabinet meeting have been at odds for a long time. As long as she can still fight and win, she can hold back as many opinions as she wants!

"Yes..." The temporary person in charge was embarrassed. He was indeed flattering, but he only told Cornelia and Yang Hui what he heard. It was only because he didn't know them well enough that Cornelia became impatient.

"Follow your will, but... there is one more thing, about His Royal Highness Yang Hui."

"Hmm?" Cornelia was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Hui.

And Yang Hui also thought of something, and his mouth curled up: "The action is quite fast."

"His Majesty directly ordered that after the military exercise, His Royal Highness Cornelia will take the Knights back to the mainland to report. The fleet and its affiliated troops, His Royal Highness Yang Hui's [Nightmare] Knights will stay in Sakura Country, and His Royal Highness Yang Hui will serve as the temporary governor."

As expected by Yang Hui and Cornelia, the official order has been issued, and Yang Hui and his Knights can stay in the concession of Sakura Country openly.

But what surprised the two was that all the fleets participating in the joint military exercise, except Cornelia's Knights, would stay.

"Tsk, you're meddling in other people's business." Cornelia complained about Charles DI Bunitaria's unnecessary additions. "With so many troops left behind, isn't it telling Sakura Country that we want to eat them?"

"Forget it, sister, he personally issued an order and never took it back." Yang Hui comforted.

"But this also exposes our intentions! How stupid!"

"Let it be exposed." As he spoke, Yang Hui waved his hand to let the temporary person in charge leave. Hearing Yang Hui and Cornelia calling him "old man" and "stupid" disrespectfully, he was also embarrassed. If he was suddenly asked, it would be wrong to answer or not to answer.

"Xuanwu and the others must have seen it. Our intentions cannot be hidden from Akamatsu. Anyway, they all know it. It doesn't matter whether it is exposed or not."

"Huh~" Cornelia thought about it and felt that it was indeed the truth. She breathed a sigh of relief and was not as excited as before. "But this is enough to make them alert. It's okay for me, but it's mainly you. Under their surveillance, it's difficult for you to deploy."

"Don't worry about me, sister, I know what to do."

"Okay, since you don't care, I won't say anything. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"If there is anything else... After sister goes back, help my people to transfer to Sakura Country." Rakshata, Lloyd and other scientific researchers, logistics personnel and reserve teams did not come to Sakura Country with Yang Hui. They are still in the local imperial capital.

Since it has been confirmed that Sakura Country will become Yang Hui's fiefdom, there is no reason for Lakshata and the others to stay under the eyes of others.

"That's fine, but the venue you stay in..."

"I'll give it to you."

"Okay, I accept it."

Don't underestimate the training grounds of the [Nightmare] Knights. The facilities are quite complete and all use the latest technology of the Empire. There are also various training grounds carefully arranged by Yang Hui. Although Cornelia has no problem rebuilding an identical one, why waste money and time when you can get it for free?

"And... my machine."

"Uh... don't you have a special machine?"

"You mean the Gloster?"

"It's the Gloster, but the performance is not worse than the special machine, right?"

"Yes, it is true, but don't forget, Yang Hui... your [Athena] and [Knights of the Zodiac] research funds are half of mine."

"Uh..." Yang Hui was embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten about this for a moment. The development of the fifth-generation Knightmare Sunderland and the pseudo-sixth-generation Knightmare Gloster were funded by Bnitalia, but... the transformation and enhancement of the two Knights, as well as the development of thirteen special machines, were all paid for by Yang Hui and Cornelia themselves.

The result is that the Knights' Gloster has indeed reached the performance of the estimated sixth-generation Knightmare, but the bulk of the funds were given to the thirteen special machines, that is to say... Cornelia invested 50%, but only received 10% in dividends... It seems less than?

"So, you have to prepare a special machine for me."

"Okay, okay, what are your requirements? I'll write them down first." Yang Hui replied helplessly. Cornelia's request was reasonable and he couldn't refuse.

"It's fine as long as it's stronger than your [Athena]." Cornelia said jokingly.

"..." Yang Hui stared with dead fish eyes, threw the terminal in his hand aside, and sat on the sofa with big words, "If you can't do it, find someone else."

"Hahaha." Cornelia laughed straightforwardly. She certainly knew that Yang Hui's [Athena] was the best machine at present, and the machine designed for her could not surpass [Athena], because [Athena] had used all the top technologies of the empire and could not be surpassed in a short time.

Moreover, even if there was a technological iteration, [Athena] would not fall behind, because Yang Hui would definitely use new technologies to transform and upgrade [Athena], so that [Athena] would always be at the top of Knightmare.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Just make sure the performance is at the level of a special machine. You know my combat style."

"Okay, I get it."

"Well, take a good rest today. If nothing goes wrong, Kururugi Genbu and the others will come to my house tomorrow, and then I should go back home."

The second phase of the confrontation exercise will not happen again, so the two sides will gather together for a meeting, brag about business, and formally show the friendly relationship between the two countries. Cornelia's mission will be completely completed.

"Give my regards to Yufei."

"I will, but I don't know... where my next stop will be." Cornelia asked with interest.

"It won't be Sakura Country anyway." Yang Hui sat up straight and looked at the scenery outside through the window. "I want this place, and no one is allowed to interfere, not even you, the royal sister."

Cornelia saw something called "ambition" on Yang Hui's face, but she was not surprised or afraid, but just smiled happily: "Really? Then I can wait and see, but don't ask me for help if you fail."
