Chapter 830: Cooperative Relationship

“…” Looking at the fully armed soldiers around him and seeing the hypocritical smile on Leon Mishima’s face, Yang Hui turned to Sergei and others and said, “Everyone, activate the life connection system and the anti-disassembly self-destruction system.”

“Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui, what are you doing?” Leon Mishima asked in panic, and retreated behind the soldiers.

"It's better to take precautions before they happen." Yang Hui answered Leon Mishima with the same fake smile on his face, "Our machine has been set to self-destruct in any disassembly behavior, and it can detect our ecological characteristics at any time. As long as the ecological characteristics are reduced, the machine will also self-destruct, and the message will be sent back to the fleet. I think Assistant Officer Mishima knows what this means."

"..." Leon Mishima bit his lips and stared at Yang Hui and others. He really didn't expect Yang Hui and others to be so decisive, "...Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Death? Haha." Yang Hui sneered, and at the same time pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his temple, "Want to try? Assistant Officer Mishima?"

"You...you are the commander-in-chief of this fleet! How could you...how could you..."

"We are different from you who have not experienced destruction and wandering." Yang Hui said to everyone present in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Man During the long wandering, we may die every minute and every second, but after we die, there will still be someone who can inherit our will. We have arranged successors, so... do you want to try? Friendly reminder, although our bodies are behind the times, they are also equipped with energy that is no less than that of thermonuclear engines. "

"... Tsk! Everyone retreat!" Leon Mishima hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his hand, asking the soldiers around him to put down their guns, "There is no need to be so nervous, Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui, we are all compatriots on Earth, I deeply sympathize with your experience and deeply regret the victims. We will provide assistance to the other party, please follow me."

"That's the best." Yang Hui also put down his gun, waved his hand, asked Sergei and others to put away their guns, and then followed Leon Mishima to the outside of the landing point, got on the cars prepared for them one by one, and went to the Presidential Palace of the 25th Fleet to participate in the formal talks.

"This guy... is really crazy." Killian, the deputy captain of the Skeleton Squadron, said with some fear.

"It's just a deterrent, right? He doesn't dare to shoot." The youngest Luca said.

"No, that guy... is serious." Captain Ozma said to the team members, "With that look, there is no doubt that he will really shoot."

"This! Captain, is this... really possible?" Michael couldn't believe it. He really couldn't believe that there was such a madman in the world.

"It seems that the days of wandering are more difficult than we imagined. Well, we should have a chance to meet in the future. Go back. There are still a lot of warships outside staring at us."

"Understood!" X3

...

Led by Leon Mishima, Yang Hui and his party came to the Presidential Palace. Yang Hui and his party met Howard Glass, the president of the 25th Fleet, and Commodore Perry, as well as Howard Glass's daughter, Catherine Glass, who also served in the New Unified Army.

"Hello, Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui, I am Howard Glass, President of the 25th Fleet, this is Commodore Perry, Commander-in-Chief of the New Unified Army, and this is Catherine Glass, Chief Controller of the New Unified Army General Staff."

"Hello, President Glass, Commodore Perry, Controller Glass, I am Yang Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the 4th Fleet's Surviving Fleet, and these are..." Yang Hui introduced Sergei and others one by one, and then took their seats one by one. The Dilandi brothers and others, who served as guards, naturally stood behind Yang Hui and others with their hands behind their backs.

"First of all, Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui, please allow me to express my condolences for the tragic experience of your fleet." Howard Glass and others stood up and took off their hats to salute. Regardless of whether the other party was acting or not, Yang Hui and others had to stand up and return the salute.

"Then, please allow us to know your experience and why you jumped to the vicinity of the 25th Fleet. The 4th Fleet should have lost contact with the central government and other fleets decades ago."

Immediately, Yang Hui recited the materials prepared by Mephis for them. Since he was going to act, he would act to the end. He described it vividly, as if Howard Glass and others were in the scene, and conveyed all the tragedy and pain to them.

"...It's really thanks to you all for persisting all the way here. On behalf of everyone in the 25th Fleet, I express my most sincere respect to you all." After listening to Yang Hui's story, Howard Glass and others looked at Yang Hui and others with different eyes. They were all human beings, and they were all pioneers and explorers heading into the universe. In a universe full of unknowns and crises, being able to meet each other alive is a kind of luck and happiness, which is more touching than being alone and struggling in a foreign place and suddenly meeting a fellow villager.

"So... Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui, what are your plans for the future? Are you willing to return to the new unified government?" Howard Glass asked Yang Hui, getting to the point. This was also the issue he was most concerned about.

Yang Hui's fleet was too large. If they joined, the strength of the 25th Fleet would instantly increase by several levels. As for the backward technology, the 25th Fleet and LAI Company could upgrade them.

But this would lead to a very serious problem. Who has the final say?

Yang Hui is the commander-in-chief of the surviving fleet. His military rank is Lieutenant General, and he is a powerful Lieutenant General. He holds a huge force in his hands. Although he has not yet made contact, Howard Glass is sure that this fleet is absolutely loyal to Yang Hui and only obeys Yang Hui's orders. This can be seen from their performance at the landing point.

Howard Glass and Commodore Perry have no confidence in subduing this group of wanderers. Even if Yang Hui takes the initiative to hand over power, they dare not accept it.

But Yang Hui and others are outsiders after all, and he is also the president of the 25th Fleet. Does he want him to take the initiative to hand over power to Yang Hui? He can't do it, and the new unified government will never allow it.

And... after the situation of Yang Hui and others is reported to the central government, with the style of those pampered bastards on Earth, who knows what stupid things they will do?

In fact, the best way is to give Yang Hui and others some supplies, let them leave, and throw away this burden.

But Yang Hui just said that during the long wandering, their fleet had lost the technology of FOLD wave jump. The last time they used it was the disposable FOLD jump device that was left before the destruction of the fleet. That was the last inventory.

Moreover, the 4th fleet is fundamentally different from other fleets. The 4th fleet was formed by many big chaebols on the earth at that time. The warships and fighters they used were all different from the technology tree of the New Unified Army. They were the technology trees they independently developed. At that time, they were all specially formed for experiments. The technology they used was not the current one at all.

In addition, they lost contact with the central government shortly after they set off, so the technology level was several generations behind, and the warships were not equipped with FOLD jump systems.

So this burden cannot be thrown away in a short time.

"We will not return to the unified government." Yang Hui shook his head and said directly, "When we needed it most, the unified government did not extend any help. Although we survived, we will not work for these bastards."

"Then..."

"But we are willing to join the 25th Fleet, President Glass. In return for your acceptance of us, our fleet will serve as your armed force to protect your safety. Please note that we will not accept the command of the new unified government. If you encounter danger, President Glass, you can contact me directly."

"In this case... a cooperative relationship?"

"Yes." Yang Hui nodded.

In fact, the Promise Corps and the 25th Fleet have just come into contact. Whether it is acceptance or giving up power, it will not satisfy both parties. Cooperation is the best choice, because both parties have something to ask for and gain something. A win-win situation and a relationship based on interests are the most reliable.

As for returning to the new unified government... forget it, Yang Hui can't accept it. To put it bluntly, the unified government of Macross is worse than the federal government of the UC world! Yang Hui didn't lead the team to destroy them because the distance was too far and they were too scattered!

"In that case... OK." Howard Glass could see that Yang Hui had no intention of leaving, so he could only agree, and the conditions Yang Hui offered were acceptable.

"Then, happy cooperation, President Glass."

"Happy cooperation."

Then, Yang Hui made some of his own requests, such as pretend supplies, permission for personnel to enter the main island, and permission to contact LAI, etc.

Howard Glass also agreed to all of these. The supply of materials was certain, and the number proposed by Yang Hui would not cause any serious damage to the 25th fleet. Then there was the qualification to enter the main island. The other party was also considered a part of the 25th fleet, so it should definitely be allowed. Moreover, they had been wandering for so long, and they should return to human society to relax.

Finally, it was the contact permission from LAI. Howard Glass had no right to stop it. Although the LAI branch was on the 25th Fleet, it was a private company and the boss was a big capitalist. The words of the president might not work.

Moreover, Howard Glass knew the person in charge of the LAI branch, Adrian, the brother of Luca of the Skeleton Squad, and he would take the initiative to find Yang Hui without Yang Hui going to find him.

After everything was settled, Yang Hui and others also left the Presidential Palace, returned to the landing point and then returned to the fleet to arrange related matters.

After Yang Hui and others left, Leon Mishima's face became a little ugly: "President, is it inappropriate to do this?"

"This is the best way at the moment." Howard Glass certainly understood what Leon Mishima meant, but he was helpless. He couldn't be driven away, and he couldn't eat. What else could he do except cooperate?

"How about we ask the central government..."

"Haha, do you think the central government is willing to take on this hot potato? Besides, don't forget, we are just a border fleet..."

"This..."

"Those idiots in the central government are eager for us to accept them."
