Gundam SEED: Eastern Enlightenment

Chapter 39 Meeting with Brigadier General Halberton

On the bridge of the Archangel, after separating from Rapman's advance team, the Archangel began to move at full speed towards the approximate location of the Eighth Fleet. Everyone on the bridge saluted the battlefield behind them.

Major Rapman led the advance team and risked their lives to delay the Cruze fleet. The four Drake-class ships and three Nelson-class ships that were completely destroyed by the Mobius team attacked in three phases, really risking their lives to buy time for the Archangel.

The Fissarius.

"What is this?" Lux took out the thing that Lin Chu had stuffed inside the space suit. After putting it on the Archangel, she felt something hard there. She didn't expect there was really something inside. It wasn't until she came to the room that she had time to take a look.

"It's actually Mr. Lin Chu." Looking at the big words "Solomon" on the cover, and Professor XT and Researcher Lin Chu on the second page, Lux flipped through it carefully.

"This...?" Lux was shocked after reading it. Such an important thing was given to her. Lux couldn't figure it out until the last page, when she saw the small words written by Lin Chu next to it.

“Ms. Lacus, this is an apology for holding you hostage. The gap between adjusters and natural persons creates an irreconcilable contradiction between the two. This contradiction is almost impossible to eradicate unless it can be transferred to the outside.

So this is the seed that will hopefully bring peace. I give this to you in the hope that you can promise to use it to explore the unknown universe, and transfer the conflict between the two major species to space colonization. Perhaps a hundred years later, the species that each lives in prosperity will no longer have to go to war. "

Peaceful?

Just after Lux finished reading, the Fissarius felt a slight shake. Lux walked out of the room and saw that the Fissarius had slowly turned around and retreated, while silent flowers bloomed in the universe behind it.

Has the fight started again?

"Captain Cruze?" Lux came to the bridge.

"Ms. Lacus, I'm really sorry. It seems that the advance team of the Earth Army took the initiative to cut off their retreat for Long Legs. But they will be eliminated soon, and Captain Yu Luo will be here to pick you up soon, and you can return safely then." Cruze's superficial efforts were still very good, although he was very unhappy with Lacus in his heart.

"Captain Cruze, this was given to me by the other party's pilot. You guys want this, right?"

"Oh?" Cruze took the thing from Lux's hand and was very surprised after just two glances. Then Cruze also saw the words left by Lin Chu on the back.

"Well! Although we don't know whether this thing is true or not, there is a high possibility that it is real. The pilot on the other side is actually willing to give out such a thing." Cruze was very puzzled holding the plan.

"Mr. Lin Chu is a man who truly desires peace. Why don't we just take this and return home?"

"Humanity's inferiority means that war will always exist. Even if, as he said, the two major groups expand outward, they will become four major groups in the future. The greater the desires and greed of people, the more serious the conflicts will be. War will never stop.

If we don't destroy them first after getting this thing, they will use the new weapon to destroy us. Look at their behavior. They know they will die but they still take the initiative to cover the retreat, just to allow the new ship and the body to return safely to the Atlantic Federation and become weapons to destroy us in the future. "Kruze pointed to the battlefield outside and said sarcastically, and then returned the plan to Lux.

"Compared to the other party offering it to me, I would rather take it myself, and this is also the order of the Supreme Council. Miss Lacus might as well appreciate this foolish sacrifice of moths flying into the flame. In the eyes of the so-called high-level officials, they are nothing more than tools that can be used and discarded at will.

Even me." Cruze said at the end with a sad tone.

"Captain Cruze?"

"Ms. Lacus, Team Yu Luo is about to arrive. You should go and get ready."

The advance team was quickly destroyed under ZAFT's siege, and didn't even cause any casualties to Team Cruze, it really just delayed some time.

The Morris team and the Yu Luo team finally arrived. The Yu Luo team picked up Lux. After Cruze transferred three of the Yu Luo team's six Genes to the Morris team, Cruze also merged the two battleships and six Genes of the Morris team into the fleet. The Kamov finally joined the other two teams.

Aslan only met with Lacus once. After the two talked, Aslan also learned about Kira's situation on the Archangel. However, when talking about Lin Chu, Lacus had a good impression of Lin Chu.

But Lin Chu killed Zaftri along the way, not to mention his old friend like Michel, and killed more than 30 Zeons right under his nose. I don't know if there were so many Zeons killed in the battle of Kaohsiung Port. Lin Chu has become a thorn in Aslan's heart. If he doesn't kill Lin Chu, Aslan will always have a thorn in his heart.

So the two ended the meeting in a strange atmosphere, and Lux ​​returned to Brando.

Cruze's special operations force has arrived, with 18 battleships, 6 Nazca-class and 12 Laurasia-class. Although five of the battleships were slightly damaged, they are still able to fight, and Cruze has no time to put them back for rest; 82 MS, 3 G-bodies and 79 Zeon, including Izak's High-Mobility Zeon.

The entire fleet marched towards the Archangel. The remaining distance was not far, and they were heading straight for the lunar base. Cruze was like, "Give me a division, I dare to attack Taiyuan."

The Archangel sailed at full speed and finally succeeded in meeting up with the Eighth Fleet in low-Earth orbit. Malu was a little stunned when looking at the densely packed warships of the Eighth Fleet.

The Archangel joined the huge fleet and came to the fleet's flagship, the mount of the wise admiral Halberdon, the Agamemnon-class space carrier Menelaos.

Lin Chu looked at the Menelaos and knew that he was about to get into trouble again. The civilians would then be transferred to the Menelaos and land on Earth by shuttle.

But I saved Frey's father. Without Frey, what would happen if Kira and his crew retired and got off the ship?

Plot! Plot! Is he going to start fooling people again? But he had already promised Kira to let him go.

Just when Lin Chu was worried.

"Second Lieutenant Lin Chu, are you here?"

"Captain Maru, Lieutenant Bakilulu? Are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I came here to ask you if you really gave me that thing?"

"You mean Solomon?"

"Yes, after all, that thing is so important, don't you need to ask Professor XT for his opinion or something?"

"Captain, rest assured! I keep my word. You can do whatever you want with that thing. You can give it to Commodore Halberton."

"I understand, thank you."

"So what are you going to do with this young boy Kira?"

"Well, it would be best if we could keep him here. He is quite capable, and I'm sure you've seen his modified assault OS. His optimized OS not only brings out the combat effectiveness of the machine, but also makes it easier for us to control the machine.

It's a pity that I promised him to make his own decision. How Kira handles it depends on General Halberdon's opinion."

Lin Chu also thought it over. He now had some strength. If Kira really wanted to leave, there was nothing he could do. Now that he had won the duel, it was impossible for Isaac to blow up the civilian shuttle again... and it seemed that the Eighth Fleet had many more warships than in the original story. Maybe the Archangel would land safely at the headquarters of the Atlantic Federation on Earth.

Then the back will be a mess! It's numb...

"I think Kira doesn't want to stay in the army anymore?" Malu could also see Kira's condition clearly.

"We can take coercive measures. We can't just let such an important force go." Baki Lulu was still so direct.

Malu didn't know how to refute.

"Lieutenant Bakirolu, you are soulless. Let Kira go. We still have the Raider. If we force him, Kira might escape to ZAFT in the Raider one day."

..., this sentence immediately dispelled Baki Lulu's idea.

"Lieutenant Lin Chu is right, and don't we still have a second lieutenant?" Malu said with his hand covering his mouth and laughing.

"Hey, don't ignore me." Mu also ran over.

"Haha, yes, it's all thanks to Captain Mu along the way." Malu gradually got used to this Mu who liked to act like a hooligan.

"Haha, I'm finally going to go home safely." Lin Chu laughed, and was already thinking about how to escape if the Earth Union found out that the duel he initiated was completely different from others.

There was no way. Lin Chu had no way to explain. Blue Cosmos and the top leaders of the alliance were not easy to deal with. They would not be fooled by him like Malu and the others. They might slice him up for research, or capture him and treat him the same way as the three little strong men.

The Solomon Plan that he submitted could only keep him safe temporarily. If he was later found out that he was a fake, he might be severely tortured. Lin Chu was not willing to take the risk.

And if the Archangel really ends the plot early, then I will find a place to escape to and live there in my retirement.

A shuttle came from the Menelaos to the Archangel. The proposer and leader of the G Plan, the wise Commodore Halberdon, finally set foot on the Archangel, which was equipped with the G Plan, for the first time.

After greeting Vice Minister George, Brigadier General Halberton floated straight towards Malu.

"When I heard about the disintegration of Heliopolis, I thought everything was over. I didn't expect to meet you here. Marlu, welcome back." Halberton patted Marlu's shoulder happily.

"Thank you for your words. Long time no see, sir. But I feel very guilty about Major Lapman." Malu was also very happy.

"Lapman did the right thing. You are the most important. I hope everyone can come back safely." Halberton shook his head and stopped Malu from apologizing.

Then Baki Lulu and Mu came forward to introduce themselves, Halberton also praised Mu, and then it was Lin Chu's turn.

"I'm Lin Chu, a duel pilot." This was the first time Lin Chu had seen a real general. He could only say that Halberdon was indeed a wise general, with a temperament that made people approachable and respectable.

"You are the pilot of Duel, Lin Chu? I looked through your information. You just graduated from the East Asia Military Academy and then transferred to Heliopolis.

If I hadn't confirmed your identity, I really wouldn't believe that Duel's outstanding performance was actually operated by one of our own people. Regardless of whether Duel's outstanding performance was due to your personal excellence or not, you have made a great contribution to Project G."

"The general's long-term vision is the key to the success of Plan G."

"Haha, but in the end, it was your efforts that made Project G successfully return home."
