Chapter 136 A unique welcome ceremony

I searched it over and over again in my mind.

Holding a cup of coffee, Bartfield finally found the information about the so-called desert dawn from the corners of his memory.

"Captain, which organization's information is this?"

However, just as Bartfield was about to speak, the thoughtful adjutant Martin looked at the appearance of his captain.

I took out the information about this organization well prepared.

After all, there are too many resistance organizations in the desert area today. In fact, when Martin received feedback from the intelligence personnel.

It took him a lot of effort to find the information of this organization.

"no need."

After taking a sip of the fragrant coffee, Baldefield did not look through the information prepared by his close adjutant.

"I remember that most of the people associated with that organization live in small towns a little distance from here, right?"

"Yes." Adjutant Martin was extremely impressed by Captain Baldefield's ability to accurately state the detailed information without even looking at the information.

Then he asked tentatively.

"Are we going to take those associated people as hostages?"

"And threaten those people from Desert Dawn to hand over the Archangel?"

"puff."

He took a sip of coffee and was savoring the rich flavor of the coffee in his mouth when he heard the bad idea proposed by his adjutant.

Bartfeld nearly spit out the coffee in his mouth.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing how uncomfortable Bartfield looked, his face turned red from trying to hold back the coffee.

Martin walked quickly forward and was about to pat the captain on the back to help him calm down.

"It's okay, cough cough." Bartfield stretched out his hand to stop Martin who was about to move forward and said with a sigh of relief.

"Are you trying to piss me off to death? Taking those associated people as hostages, do you think ZAFT's reputation in the Earth Sphere is good?"

Martin smiled awkwardly upon hearing this. Unlike his compatriots on the satellite homeland, he knew that now that he had come to the Earth's circle, he had changed.

No matter how the adjusters portray themselves as victims, it is actually difficult for any natural person in the Earth Sphere to agree with this view.

In the naive concept of the vast majority of natural persons, regulators are evil invaders and thugs!

"What do you mean, Captain?" Martin asked curiously.

"Ding." The coffee cup made a crisp sound when it hit the table.

Bartfield's eyes were fixed on the glaze on the beautiful coffee cup, and for a long time Martin began to wonder if the captain had fallen asleep.

He then spoke slowly with a hint of reluctance in his tone. "Call a few Bakus, and let's go burn that small village."

"But before burning down a village or town, notify the people in that village or town first. We will burn the village after those people have evacuated."

"By the way, tell them not to bring any money with them, and only allow them to bring some personal belongings."

"never mind."

Bartfield suddenly changed his mind, with a complicated look in his eyes and his hands stroking the coffee cup on the table.

"They are not allowed to take any personal belongings with them. They are given a very short time to leave the village without anything!"

"This..." Martin looked at his captain's gloomy face and thought, how big is the difference between your burning the village and me taking the villagers hostage?
A fire burned up all the villagers' finances and artificially created so many refugees. If those people were not properly arranged afterwards.

Isn't there any way to survive in this desert where there is no grass at all?
In a sense, Captain, what you are doing is a plan to destroy the entire family, which is even more vicious than my idea!

"Deliver it as I command."

Bartfield waited for a while and saw that his adjutant was not leaving.

As a hidden member of the Kulain faction, he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he simply urged Martin to leave quickly so that he could be alone to calm down.

"Captain, is this too cruel?"

Martin is not a bad person. After some things happened to him later, he became a peace-loving person.

He originally came here to make trouble for the villagers, but now he actually felt a little sympathetic towards them and wanted to persuade his captain to change his mind.

When he raised his eyelids, Bartfield's mood improved a little because of Martin's attitude.

It seems that my adjutant is a man with conscience!
"Those villagers were associated with Desert Dawn. We burned their village and left them with nothing."

“Think about it, will those people in Desert Dawn just sit there and do nothing?”

"Oh, I see." Martin said with shining eyes as if he had suddenly understood something.

"Desert Dawn's supplies are definitely not enough to support them in properly settling those refugees."

"So in order to accommodate those refugees, they have to seek supplies from the outside world!"

"And in this desert area, the only place with so many supplies is here."

"Then we just need to set up a dragnet in this town, and we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Yes." Bartfeld nodded.

"Considering the amount of supplies on the Archangel, even if their share is included, it will take a while to accept so many refugees."

"So they are bound to come to our town."

"Okay, I understand." Martin became excited and admired his captain's strategic planning even more.

What does it mean to be in a high position in government yet be able to win battles thousands of miles away?

This is the captain in front of us!
So Martin hurried out to do as Captain Bartfield had arranged.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to establish the Desert Tiger's unique position in the ZAFT army.

"Martin, when will the war end? And how will it end?"

Watching his adjutant leave, Bartfield, who stayed in the house, looked at the scenery outside the bright window and explored his future.

The strategy set by Bartfield was different from what Martin had imagined.

In fact, he just wanted to meet the King Tiger mentioned by Lux, the daughter of the Speaker of Kulain. On the other hand, the famous Mr. Tiger was still unknown. He had already set his sights on the Archangel and the ordinary resistance organization in this desert.

Wang Hu, holding a thick envelope, finally caught up with Cagalli on a sand dune outside the camp.

"Wait, don't run away. You must have something to tell me if you come here."

Grabbing the blonde girl, Wang Hu stared at Cagalli who lowered her head and asked.

"It's nothing, I just came over to say hello when I saw someone I know."

Actually, she had something else to do. Kagali wanted to come and thank Wang Hu for what happened on the satellite.

But the scene she saw the moment she entered the door made the girl feel resentful for no reason.

Malu? That's her name, right?

Cagalli lowered her head, still thinking about the woman named Mari.

I have to say that the beautiful captain is indeed a very beautiful woman, and her age is just right for her to be at the peak of her female prime.

A delicate face full of good-looking charm, coupled with a well-proportioned figure that even the Atlantic Federation Army uniform could not hide.

Thinking of this, even though they are both women, Cagalli blushed.

“That’s so foul.”

She muttered softly and the figure of Ma Liu seemed to appear out of thin air before her eyes again.

Under those soft shoulder-length hair, there are eyes full of temptation and pure desire.

There is also a slender waist that can be held in one hand under the broad chest, what a figure and temperament!
Even Cagalli, who has always been known as a wild boy, knows this.

For those stinky men, women like Malu are the most attractive.

Looking up, Cagalli's expression had returned to normal. She stared at Wang Hu, who looked innocent in front of her, and then snorted again.

When a scum like Wang Hu sees a beauty like Malu, it's like a fly smelling rotten meat, so why wouldn't they buzz around her!

"Is there dirt on my face?" Wang Hu touched his face subconsciously, feeling confused by Cagalli's look.

"Why are you chasing me?" Although there was no abnormal expression on Cagalli's face, she was still angry in her heart.

With a hostile tone, she continued.

"Are you not going to flirt with that beautiful captain?"

"What do you mean?" With a head full of question marks, Wang Hu directly raised the thick envelope in his hand.

"You are the financial backer of this resistance organization, right? Since you can afford such a large organization, can you help pay for this?"

"to reimburse?"

Cagalli was not surprised that Wang Hu could guess that she was the financial backer behind Desert Dawn. She was just curious about what was in Wang Hu's envelope.

The man in front of me wants to reimburse me?

How strange!
With curiosity in mind, Kagali snatched the envelope from Wang Hu's hand and opened it to read.

It would have been better if she hadn't watched it. After watching it, Cagalli, who was already furious, became so angry that it seemed like steam was coming out of her head.

"Isn't this the bill from last time in Heliopolis? You asked me, a girl, to reimburse you for these things!"

"Wang Hu, are you still a man?"

As she spoke, Kagali raised her foot and kicked Wang Hu's leg hard.

Wang Hu didn't dodge and took the kick from the other party, then answered as a matter of course.

"I was originally going to take it back and reimburse the money, but my deputy captain said the guys in the logistics department would never approve this kind of expense list."

"You know I'm just a stinking soldier. My allowance is limited and I have to save it for supporting my family in the future!"

"you!"

Her hands were shaking with anger. Looking at Wang Hu in front of her who had no sense of self-awareness and didn't feel ashamed at all, the blonde girl, Cagalli, the Princess of Orb, didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Can it be reimbursed?" Wang Hu was still urging impatiently.

"What a beautiful thought!"

With anger rising from her heart and evil coming from her courage, Cagalli did something unexpected.

She tore the envelope and the invoice inside into pieces in front of Wang Hu at a speed that even Wang Hu, who was carrying Amuro Template, had no time to react.

Now, don’t even think about getting reimbursed.

Looking at the reimbursement forms falling like snowflakes on the sea of ​​sand, even if I had to glue the forms together piece by piece.

I'm afraid no accountant would go through the reimbursement process through such documents.

Not to mention that if a gust of wind blew, the fragments would be blown everywhere by the noisy wind.

"Brother Wang Hu?" Kira, who was hiding nearby and peeking, called out in a low voice. Being a loyal protector of his master, he wanted to rush up and retrieve those pieces of paper.

Fortunately, Frey beside him grabbed him at the critical moment and asked in a low voice.

"What do you want to do?"

"Help Brother Wang Hu pick up all the invoices." Kira answered as a matter of course with his silly and cute eyes.

"Stupid, doesn't this expose us?"

There was contempt in Frey's eyes, and then she pushed Kira to the side.

Because another dark-skinned boy was rushing towards this side.

"Cagali." The dark-skinned boy who suddenly came over shouted as he walked, and when he came to Wang Hu and the others.

The young man glared at Wang Hu with a rather unfriendly look, then turned around and spoke to Cagalli in a friendly voice.

"Chief Ashman wants to see you. We are going to host a roast camel banquet to welcome them tonight."

"Really? I really don't understand why the leader would use such high etiquette to welcome these bastards."

"Ahmed, I'll be there right away."

Speaking to the young man who usually acted as her driver, Cagalli glared at Wang Hu fiercely again, and then followed the young man towards the camp.
