“Shia!”

“Shia Aznable, reporting for duty!”

828. Red Comet, Three Times Faster

“Shia Aznable, reporting for duty!”

“Lamia Aznable, reporting for duty!”

“Shia Aznable, and Lamia Aznable... huh...”

On the bridge of the Vesalius, [Shia] and [Lamia], who had already changed out of their pilot suits and into red uniforms, stood before Cruse, reporting for duty.

Cruse held their submitted personal resumes in his hand, clicking his tongue in amazement. He pointed at the surname after Shia's name with his right index finger, curiously scrutinizing [Shia].

Although wearing a red uniform, this [Shia] looked noticeably more mature than the other red coats currently present. In other words, he was older than those second-generation pilots. The combination of golden, choppy hair and a silver half-mask made Cruse highly suspicious of this guy's identity, especially the feeling that [Shia] exuded standing before him, which felt very familiar, but he couldn't recall what that familiar feeling was for the moment.

“Aznable, huh? Sounds like a somewhat historical surname, but I have no recollection of it.”

“No, it's just a very ordinary surname.”

[Shia], wearing a mask identical to Cruse's, replied with a smile.

“Is that so? An ordinary surname wouldn't be valued by our Chairman, especially in PLANT, where geniuses gather.”

PLANT was full of Coordinators. Even the most mediocre Coordinator was more capable than a Natural, so the competition among Coordinators was fierce. Everyone had their embryonic genes adjusted, so each person had their area of expertise. The second-generation members of the Twelve Council families were all top geniuses when placed on Earth.

“Also, please allow me to ask from a personal perspective, both of your surnames are Aznable, so what is your relationship, siblings or....”

“Lamia is my wife.”

[Shia] still replied with a smile, while [Lamia] next to him happily reached out and hugged [Shia]'s left arm, seemingly to confirm this fact. Indeed, both of them wore matching silver rings.

“Oh~~ I understand.”

“How enviable, getting married at such a young age.”

In PLANT, people tend to marry early because they are all Coordinators. Coordinator reproduction is relatively more difficult than that of Naturals, and Coordinator children also undergo embryonic gene adjustment.

Furthermore, marriage in PLANT is officially assigned, judged based on the synergy of genes to determine whether the man and woman are suitable. If they are suitable, the official will determine the matching relationship between the two. As for whether the matched parties will eventually marry, that's another matter. This is the most suitable partner selection officially announced, truly a national matchmaking service.

However, due to the relationship with the Earth Federation, young people have no choice but to go to the battlefield, so many have been matched but have not actually completed the marriage.

[Shia] and [Lamia]'s rings proved that they were already married, so from a marriage perspective, they were indeed enviable.

“A married couple joining ZAFT at the same time, becoming MS pilots at the same time, and being promoted to red coats at the same time, that's quite difficult. I must say, you two are really amazing.”

Cruse said enviously, but his next words were sarcastic. Obviously, he had a different opinion about the Chairman suddenly pulling out two red coats with no prior records.

“Indeed, it is our good fortune to be appreciated by the Chairman, so all we can do is contribute all our strength for the Chairman.”

“Then I look forward to your strength.”

Cruse really wanted to say that [Shia] was a loyal dog, but his current identity was a member of the ZAFT military, so saying that would be scolding himself as well. However, in Cruse's view, the [Shia] and [Lamia] before him were private soldiers cultivated by the Chairman, and the Chairman also intended to mix his private soldiers into the army.

Actually, this kind of thing is very normal in the Gundam SEED world. Whether it's the Earth Federation or PLANT, there are various forces within the factions, and each force has its own private army. The Twelve Council families of PLANT each have their own power. What's wrong with the Chairman's family having some private soldiers? It's just that these two private soldiers were actually elevated to the level of red coats, which surprised Cruse somewhat.

Since the Chairman dared to elevate his private soldiers to the level of official red coats and stuff them into his squad, then he would naturally use them without hesitation.

“Now that you've joined the team, go prepare. You already have your own mobile suits. For this operation, you will use your own mobile suits as cover.”

“As for what our operation is this time, let Aslan tell you, after all, Aslan's surname is Zala.”

Cruse didn't continue talking to [Shia] and instead sent him to Aslan.

Let the Chairman's son tell the Chairman's subordinates.

“Understood, Captain Cruse.”

[Shia] nodded with a smile, then took [Lamia] to find Aslan. The other members of Cruse's team were all waiting outside the bridge, eager to know where the two newcomers came from. This was the thing that these second-generation pilots were most curious about right now.

Leaving the bridge, [Shia] immediately smiled.

“Lamia, did you see Cruse's expression just now?”

“Yes, yes, I saw it. Although he was wearing a mask, I could smell his contempt for us, hahaha.”

“After all, in his eyes, we are the lackeys of the Zala family.”

“If Mr. Zala knew, he would probably rush over and slap him a few times, hahaha.”

Lamia laughed happily.

This [Lamia] was naturally Lamia, and [Shia] was naturally Wang Xiaoming.

Since this world has a perverted masked man, then there must be a Red Comet, three times faster. And the pilot of the Red Comet must naturally also be a masked man.

So Wang Xiaoming put on a mask and transformed into Shia.

As for the strange feeling that Cruse felt from Wang Xiaoming just now, it was not an illusion, because it was the feeling of a schemer! A schemer like Cruse!

Cruse himself is a clone. Due to cloning technology, Cruse's lifespan is very short, less than half that of a normal person, and he has to rely on drugs to maintain it, otherwise he will die very quickly. This causes him to hate the humans who created him and want to destroy the world.

Joining PLANT was also for his plan to destroy humanity.

And Shia, played by Wang Xiaoming, is even more powerful in terms of scheming than Cruse.

829. Gundam Hijack Operation

Not far from the bridge, in the common lounge, the members of Cruse's team gathered together, waiting for the new members who were about to come out of the bridge.

The two new members sent by Aslan's father, Chairman Zala, aroused their curiosity.

“Aslan, you're really failing as the Chairman's son. You don't even know what the Chairman is doing.”

“I don't know about these things either. My father is basically never home, how would I know what my father is doing or who he has around him?”

“Alright, Aslan, Yitzhak isn't criticizing you, he's just as curious about these two new team members as we are. You know his personality.”

Yitzhak's barbed question prompted Aslan to habitually answer, and then others nearby started to explain.

However, the people in the team were all familiar with his personality. Yitzhak was just habitually being a bit of a jerk, and didn't mean anything else.

“Those two guys should be coming out soon, right?”

“They're coming out, they're coming out.”

Nicol, who had been keeping watch at the door, poked his head in and called out to everyone.

Everyone got up one by one and floated towards the door, then saw Wang Xiaoming and Lamia coming out of the bridge in the passage.

“Yo, everyone's here.”

Wang Xiaoming also saw the few people poking their heads out and took the lead in raising his hand to greet them.

Aslan and the others made way, allowing the two to enter the common lounge.

After Wang Xiaoming entered the lounge and stood firm, he immediately took the lead in speaking.

“As newly joined members of the Creuset Team, let's introduce ourselves first. Although you should have already heard my name at the hangar, but... Char Aznable, and Lamia Aznable, as new members joining the Creuset Team from today onwards, I hope you all will give us your guidance.”

“Aslan, Aslan Zala, nice to meet you.”

Aslan, being the nice guy he is, was the first to respond.

“Nicol Amalfi, likewise, nice to meet you.”

“Dearka Elsman, their friend.”

“Yzak Joule.”

The introductions of the others were fine, only Yzak's introduction was full of aloofness.

Yzak didn't try to give Wang Xiaoming a hard time or anything, but he couldn't be considered particularly friendly either.

“Don't mind him, Yzak's just like that, he's not a bad person.”

Dearka helped explain from the side.

“Yeah, I can see that, Yzak is a warm-hearted person.”

“Huh? Are you talking about me?”

Yzak looked at Wang Xiaoming in surprise, it was the first time he had heard someone he had just met make such an evaluation of him.

His friends knew that the evaluation of him as a warm-hearted person was true. On the surface, he seemed to have a very bad temper, but he was exceptionally good to his friends, and he would really step up when things happened, making him a very good friend.

But in the eyes of unfamiliar outsiders, this guy was just a hothead who always had something to complain about and was always yelling, making him seem very difficult to get along with.

But now, Wang Xiaoming, whom he was meeting for the first time, actually said that he was a warm-hearted person?

“I know you all have your doubts, but you should know my identity, my relationship with Chairman Zala, so...”

Wang Xiaoming finished speaking and looked at Aslan, and the others immediately understood what he meant.

Since he was sent by the Chairman, he would naturally have already understood the information of everyone here. After all, the Chairman's son was here, so naturally, the Chairman would also want to know about his son's social circle, especially since everyone in this circle was the son or daughter of a council member. Wouldn't they want to study their information carefully?

Therefore, the other party had already grasped their intelligence early on, which was why he would say such a thing.

“Since you already know us, then there's no need to say anything more, let's talk about the mission. Since you're here, you'll naturally have to carry out the mission together.”

“That's right, we're here to ensure the successful execution of the mission.”

Wang Xiaoming looked at Aslan, signaling him to explain the mission, and Aslan cooperated by starting the introduction.

“We received news that Orb is helping the Federation Forces build new weapons at the space station. According to our intelligence, what they are building is a MS, and the developer is not a Natural, but a Coordinator living in Orb. These guys are simply traitors!”

“So our mission is to seize the new MS that those guys have developed!”

Well, the famous Gundam seizure operation, and now Wang Xiaoming is also a participant.

“I understand, you guys go and seize the new mobile suits, and we will provide you with cover while you seize the mobile suits.”

“That's right, our destination is Heliopolis. There are Federation Forces warships there. Your mission should be to eliminate the surrounding Federation Forces warships when we enter the satellite, and cover our safe retreat.”

“No problem.”

Wang Xiaoming nodded and accepted the mission.

After Wang Xiaoming and Lamia boarded, the warship started again and headed towards Heliopolis.

The Heliopolis colony satellite, which belongs to Orb, is established by Orb in an independent area, far away from PLANT and also far away from the sphere of influence of the Federation Forces. According to Orb's own statement, they are maintaining neutrality, developing science themselves, and not discriminating against Coordinators, treating everyone with an inclusive attitude.

But in reality, Orb is doing this in order to absorb the excellent abilities of Coordinators. With the Atlantic Federation so clearly ostracizing Coordinators, daring to do this without being beaten by the Atlantic Federation is naturally because it has always had dirty deals with the Atlantic Federation.

According to Uzumi, the current leader of Orb, who is known as the Lion of Orb, Orb needs its own strength.

To this end, while helping the Atlantic Federation research MS, Orb used the Federation's resource reserves and support to secretly develop its own MS, and successfully developed it.

Even in the later stages, it used this power to become a force that could influence the situation on Earth. Of course, this ability to influence the situation on Earth still relied on the protagonist and the crazy help of various double agents. Otherwise, based on Orb's suicidal gameplay, it would have been destroyed countless times.

In fact, Orb itself is also full of dirty guys. The several major families who control the power within it are constantly scheming for their own benefit through the resources they control.

Basically, all the high-level officials of this country are guilty, except for that extremely stupid and naive princess.

Although Wang Xiaoming said that playing Gundam in this world was for fun, he wouldn't hold back when he encountered some idiots.

830. Today I am above Shura

Heliopolis colony satellite belonging to Orb, the Federation Forces fleet is entering port.

As a neutral country, it should theoretically disagree with any force in the war entering the port, but the Federation Forces warships can enter the port without any obstruction.

After the warships were fixed with anchors, a whole group of warship configuration members came down from the warships and quickly entered the satellite. They took a car from the port and directly crossed the entire satellite, arriving at the Heliopolis Institute of Technology located at the end of the satellite, or rather, the hidden base located behind the Heliopolis Institute of Technology.

That is the departure port of the Heliopolis satellite base, which is usually closed and only opened in emergency situations. However, in such situations, it is usually because the satellite is about to disintegrate or a catastrophic accident of the collapse level has occurred.

But today, this port is preparing to open, because there is a ship that needs to be secretly launched from here.

The Archangel, the super warship known as Long Legs, Miracle Ship, and Unsinkable Ship in the Gundam SEED world.

Where is this ship super? It is super in that it has a driver of the external plug-in level. Whether on Earth or in space, the main driver of this ship can use this tens of thousands of tons of warship to play extreme operations of rotating, jumping, and flipping, and can even fly upside down in the Earth sphere.

Not only that, as long as this ship appears, its enemies are like the villains facing Captain America, they never hit the bridge or the armory, they only know to stare at the armor, as if afraid of hurting this ship, which is very terrifying.

And today is the day this ship is launched. Orb used the technology of its own Coordinators, and then used the resources of the Federation to design and build this new era sea, air, and space all-terrain high-speed warship, matched with MS with extremely strong mobility and vitality, which is the few Gundams that Wang Xiaoming saw when he first came to this world.

The Duel, which can snipe from a long distance, the Buster, which is responsible for firepower suppression, the Aegis, which outputs by moving around at mid-range, the Blitz, which can sneak attack with stealth, and the Strike Gundam, which can adapt to different functions by matching different backpack components.

The ship-slaying sword, magic cannon on the back, and beam Gatling on the shoulders that Wang Xiaoming built for himself before were all based on the Strike Gundam.
