A journey through the Gundam world

"Hey? Can the Vesalis come back for the memorial ceremony?"

Faced with this question, Kruse's answer seemed ambiguous.

"Well... we don't know yet. It depends on whether our superiors will assign us new tasks."

Facing these perfunctory words, the expression on Lux's face became serious again.

"Captain Cruze, although the results of the battle are important, please don't forget the people who unfortunately died."

Sensing the change in the girl's aura in front of him, Cruze also put away his contempt and smiled lightly.

"I'll keep that in mind."

Lux looked at Cruze seriously, as if she wanted to see through the truth behind his mask. Unfortunately, she was still young at this time and was not yet a cunning opponent of the masked man.

When she looked at Aslan again, the expression on her face returned to its usual well-behaved and gentle expression.

"Is there something we must fight against? War is really complicated..."

Although it sounded like an unintentional emotion, her words still made the expression on Aslan's face change.

"Then, I look forward to our next meeting, Aslan."

Chapter 80 Reunion with the Eighth Fleet

The small boat took Lux to the Laurasia class of the Lacney team, and then the Lacney team and the Bolt team would escort it back to the mainland.

Team Kruse, on the other hand, continued to act alone, apparently despite orders from the Supreme Council.

But Cruze, who is good at exploiting loopholes, has no intention of complying.

At the same time, it is close to the Earth’s orbit.

The Archangel and the scarred Montgomery finally successfully reunited with the Eighth Fleet.

Seeing the entire Eighth Fleet with red anti-collision lights flashing on the screen, the people on the bridge couldn't help but cheer.

The Eighth Space Fleet of the Earth United Army, a fleet led by the wise general of the Atlantic Federation, Halbarton.

At the same time, he himself is also one of the initiators and advocates of Plan G. Masuo himself was Halbarton's student during his tenure at the military academy.

While everyone was cheering, Alex looked on coldly at this huge fleet of more than 20 warships, with a thoughtful expression on his face...

There is no doubt that Halpatton was a commendable general for the Union Army.

He has political skills, understands military command, and has a conscience.

To put it metaphorically, although he is not like the smooth and sophisticated Gop, he is somewhat similar to Ray Bill.

As a senior general in the Atlantic Federation who was not born in Blue Cosmos and was involved with that group of lunatics.

Halbaton is naturally a thorn in the flesh of some people.

The Eighth Fleet was able to be attacked by three ZAFT warships in Earth orbit and successfully beheaded.

Apart from the plot-killing factor, it is somewhat outrageous.

After all, it was an entire fleet, facing three battleships and less than 20 mobile suits, but they couldn't even defend the flagship.

In addition to the fact that many of the fleet are new recruits, there are also problems with the formation of the Eighth Fleet.

The entire fleet has only one flagship, the Agamemnon class, and the others are Nelson class and Drake class.

Although, the Agamemnon class that plays the role of an aircraft carrier is indeed a rare commodity.

But even so, as long as it is the main force, there will be at least 2-3 Agamemnon-class ships forming the core, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft to support the defense network for the fleet.

Only those fleets that are newly formed or are not regarded as the main force will only have one Agamemnon class.

Obviously, judging from the order of the Eighth Fleet, it should be the main treatment.But in terms of staffing, the treatment of non-main players speaks volumes.

Some people within the Atlantic Federation are deliberately squeezing Halbarton out, and even deliberately want to put him in danger during the battle with ZAFT.

While he was thinking, the Archangel had already sailed into the formation of the Eighth Fleet.

and parallel to the port side of the flagship, Menelaus.

"Is it really okay? Just block the side of the flagship?"

Driver Neumann said jokingly.

"It's okay, Admiral Halbarton, I definitely want to appreciate this ship. He will board the ship in person later."

Although according to common sense, they should go to the flagship to report, Halbarton went against the norm and wanted to board the Archangel himself.

Presumably he must also be very eager to visit Project G, which he has invested so much effort in.

Sure enough, shortly after the Archangel and the flagship were parallel, the Menelaus sent a communication message.

'Admiral Halbaton will arrive at the Archangel in 30 minutes. '

So Masuo decided to go to find Kira. Although the journey was bumpy, they forgot that they had come all the way to this point under the protection of this young man.

"I'm leaving for a while, please."

After saying that, she left the bridge, and Bucky Lulu immediately followed.

Alex did not follow, because he knew the two would have an argument in the elevator.

Sure enough, when he was waiting for the elevator door to open, he saw Bucky Lulu with an unhappy expression.

But before the other party could pass by him sideways, Alex pulled him back into the elevator.

Bucky Lulu only had time to let out a exclamation before she was blocked by the elevator door that was closed again.

The crew members who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel the spirit of gossip burning in their eyes.

"What do you want, Captain Alex?"

Breaking away from his wrist, Bucky Lulu said seriously.

"Although we are not affiliated with each other, I don't think the Orb Army will turn a blind eye to repeated harassment."

Alex smiled at her threat.

"I'm just curious about what you just said to Captain Masuo."

"This is between us, you don't need to know!"

Obviously, Bucky Lulu didn't want to repeat the embarrassment just now.

However, Alex did not let go of her idea.

"Let me guess, you must have expressed to her that you wanted to force Kira to stay, but the captain did not agree."

Looking at the surprised expression on her face, Alex knew that he was right.

"How did you know!"

"Guess."

He put his hands on his hips and looked at the short-haired ensign in front of him.

"With your character and temper, you are the one who would do such a thing."

"You mean, I am Blue Cosmos!"

Bucky Lulu showed an unhappy look, even though she was deeply influenced by the army, loyal to her mission, and could even be said to do whatever it takes to win.

But she also looks down upon the terrorists who wantonly attack civilians.

"Of course I don't mean it like this, but I still want to remind you that maybe it's right for you to know me, but neither Kira, Masuo nor even the admiral will like your proposal. You are the most It’s better not to let them know what you think.”

Bucky frowned, looking unkind.

"That's my freedom, Captain Alex!"

Seeing how stubborn she was, Alex shrugged.

"It's up to you. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing you in disgrace. Lieutenant Natal."

At this time, the elevator arrived at Gnaku. Without waiting for what Bucky Lulu was saying, he saluted casually and floated out.

Bucky Lulu was left alone and took the elevator back to the bridge again.

"Hey, Mu, how is the repair of this thing?"

When he arrived at Gnaku, he immediately saw Jin En already standing on the maintenance rack.

After receiving the parts provided by Luo, Jin En, whose arms and legs were damaged, has been almost repaired.

"It's almost done. Now we're just waiting for Kira to make further adjustments to the OS."

Outside the cockpit door, Mu grabbed Alex who was floating over.

"What about others?"

He looked into the cockpit, but there was no one there.

Mu pointed in the direction of the attack.

"Captain, I have something to say to him."

"Is that so..."

Understanding that Masuo was apologizing and thanking Kira, he didn't bother.

"Now that we have reunited, are you leaving with your mobile suit?"

Alex smiled at Mu's question.

"Yes, there will always be a day of separation."

Mu showed an expression that was indeed the case, but he did not try to save the other party.

Because no matter what, the other party is a member of the Orb Army and carries confidential equipment. Naturally, he cannot go to the United Army headquarters on the moon with them.

"Admiral Halbaton should help you go to Orb."

"Oh?"

Mu's words made Alex show an interested expression.

"Actually, I want to contact the previous recycler and ask him to help me go to Orb."

"Admiral Halbarton is a good man. He will help you."

Patting him on the shoulder, Mu looked confident.

"He can be said to be one of the few consciences of the Union Army."

"Alex!"

At this time, Cagalli shouted from below.

Seeing her troubled look, Alex said goodbye to Mu and fell to the ground.

"What is it?"

The blond girl pulled him to a deserted corner.

Then tweaked a bit.

"Um...my father, has he contacted you?"

Seeing the expression on her face, Alex smiled.

"Of course, I asked others to pass the news that you are still alive back to Orb."

"real!"

Cagalli looked happy, but immediately turned her head away.

"My father must have taught me that I am not stable enough and not sensible enough."

Looking at the arrogant girl, Alex shook his head.

"No, your father is actually very worried about you, but he's just not good at expressing it."

Cagalli also knew that what he said was true, but the girl still couldn't understand her father's behavior of assisting the Atlantic Federation in developing MS.

"Your father has actually made a lot of efforts for Orb, although some of his actions are really wrong in my opinion."

"Hey?"

Hearing what he said, Cagalli raised her head and looked at the one-eyed captain in front of her in surprise.
