Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 617 Linden Leaves ()
"Why are you getting fat again? This place in South America can actually support people?"

After Ptolemy arrived in Brazil, Aslan did not take the initiative to contact the local People's Revolutionary Alliance garrison. Instead, he used Orb's channels to find the leader of the intelligence department here, Li De Weiler.

Since Tatsumi and Ken were sent to investigate Van Dyson's lair, considering that these two people did not have the ability to deal with complex situations, Masaru, their old partner, also went to Europe, leaving Li De alone in South America. This place alone supports the overall situation. Fortunately, Mina never treats his own people badly. After reshaping his memory, Shi Wen and two Sothis became the key to Li Den's ability to gain a foothold in South America.

"I'm overworked and I need to report a work-related injury!"

In fact, Li De was not exaggerating. From the time he was transferred to South America to take charge of the security war in 73, there were more than 40 assassinations, large and small, in two years, which is an average of two assassinations a month.

The most dangerous one was that the other party had planted a bomb in his office. Just a second before Ya opened the door, Li De relied on his rich experience and amazing intuition to directly knock Ya down. The price of saving his life was the aftermath. Extensive burns on back.

It was also after this attack that Orb's national policy towards South America changed from being soft to being tough. Shi Wen was sent to South America, which was an extremely obvious signal. Mina directly closed the communication channel, and Shi Wen also took the list and started visiting people one by one. persistently urge.

The effect of this was also very significant. The security environment in the entire South America was cleared up in a short period of time. After the APR won the lunar orbital battle, a large number of veterans changed their jobs and became riot police. Along with the riot control Haiz I have completely switched from military use to police use. When facing the police armed forces with MS, various cannabis drug organizations have chosen to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

"How is the situation now?"

Strictly speaking, this is Aslan's first meeting with Li De, which also means that Orb has completely handed over the command of the Celestial Beings to Aslan, otherwise it would be impossible to contact him based on his experience as the former ZAFT Chairman. To the head of an intelligence agency that was an enemy country not long ago.

"It's not bad, but it's not great either. If you come one day later, the whole situation will be completely passive."

After ND obtained the information about Mayura, Ptolemy immediately set off from Berlin. Neumann tried his best to shorten the time by one-third. He had only one purpose, which was to make things complete. Find Mayura before there is no way back.

But I don’t know if Van Dyson was aware of it. According to ND’s intelligence, the terrorist attack that was originally scheduled to be launched a week later was actually brought forward. Just three hours before Siegfried and the others arrived, a group of armed men attacked people. In the administrative center of the Revolutionary Federation in Rio, Brazil, nearly a hundred people from the chief executive on down became hostages.

"What about the People's Revolutionary League's actions?"

"At present, only Rio's anti-terrorism mobile team has been mobilized, but the South American garrison should also have received the news. A torpedo bombing team is expected to land in Rio in half an hour."

"From your tone, the military actually left the intelligence department and acted alone? Did the military commander here take the wrong medicine?"

As a front-line commander with extremely rich actual combat experience, Aslan could see the undercurrent behind the mobilization of the People's Revolutionary Army troops at a glance. Generally speaking, the entry of troops into the city is an extremely dangerous signal, especially in a situation like this in South America. In such a complex area, it can be said that the negative impact of the army entering the city will far outweigh the benefits.

One of the two main reasons why Orb developed Riot Suppression Hazel was to save costs by allowing a large number of decommissioned M1s to be renovated on the spot. The second reason was to completely remove the army from public security warfare. If everything had to be suppressed by the army, only It will push the contradiction to a more intensified side.

But now the People's Revolutionary League airdropped the Thunderbolt Gundam without saying a word. This behavior was inherently abnormal, and as Li De was the head of intelligence in South America, such an incident involving a terrorist attack actually bypassed it. He, if he still couldn't see that there was a problem despite all the doubts, it wouldn't be Aslan.

"I just had a phone call with the South American Command ten minutes ago. Judging from the clear tone of the other party, it is not likely that he took the wrong medicine." Perhaps because he was used to this kind of intrigue, Li De even had the leisure to start talking. As a joke, Siegfried kicked the news that the People's Revolutionary Alliance formed the compass and turned it into a farce. He had already obtained the exact information from Mina. Although he had not come into contact with Vann Dyson, in his opinion, this kind of In order to restrict Siegfried and Orb's power-struggle behavior, his appearance was somewhat ugly.

"What about the other party's demands? There has been no casualty report from the beginning until now, which means there must be his political demands behind this attack."

"This"

Hearing Aslan's question, Reed's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment, but after considering that the people on this ship had seen all kinds of storms, he weighed his tone and still told him the news he had received not long ago.

"The terrorists claimed that the former chairman of the People's Revolutionary League had colluded with Tianren, demanding that the interim government abolish Tianren's extrajudicial powers and require Tianren to accept social supervision."

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone from Malu to Aslan to the ignorant Asuka and Luna who were watching were shocked by the content of this statement, and Li De obviously did not finish the sentence in one breath. , the pause is to give everyone a psychological buffer.

"If the current commander of Tianren cannot agree to their conditions, they will randomly kill a hostage every half hour starting from 5 p.m., one in the first round, two in the second round, and four in the third round, until All hostages died."

"Huh? What about themselves?"

"Really! You still have time to care about terrorists!"

After the little bird on the side listened to Li De's narration, he, who had experienced this situation for the first time in his life, asked a somewhat inappropriate question in a daze. Luna was so anxious that she couldn't even reach out to cover her mouth.

"They didn't want to leave alive. From the beginning, this group of people was destined to be victims. You must know that they are also charged with assassinating the former chairman of the People's Revolutionary League. If the People's Revolutionary League still wants to unify the earth, their fate will be A dead end."

Holding his chin with one hand, Aslan quickly ran through all the clues in his mind and already had the answer, "Is there any movement over the compass?"

"It is said that an observer was sent, but I haven't found this person yet. Give me some time."

"We can't wait any longer. This is a serial plan targeting Tianhe and Siegfried. Among the terrorists is an Orb retired soldier. This alone will make Siegfried extremely passive. Compass is just waiting. They want to see Until we respond, whether we finally agree or not, Compass will act as a winner to quell this riot."

A thin sound came from behind. Aslan looked up and found that Stella, who had come from the main island, had walked into the conference room. He had completely entered the role and had no intention of passively accepting the call. "I'll do it later, all together." Ge Fei and Stella formed a ground assault team, Zhen and Luna Maria were on standby on the MS, and Li De assisted Captain Ramias in conducting intelligence control on Rio."

"Hey, you don't mean to."

"When they make a move, we will follow, but I don't intend to play chess on the same chessboard with them. Heavenly beings should have the ability to jump out of the chess game."
