Chapter 144 Accidents in Various Senses
Is it true that everyone’s home is an arsenal?
Just thinking about that scene in her mind, Cagalli shuddered.
Can such a country still be called a country?
It was actually a huge military camp!
"No way!" Cagalli shouted angrily. "How can Orb be such a country!"
"What else?" Wang Hu signaled to Li Chengzhi who walked in that this conversation would soon be over.
Then he spoke earnestly to Cagalli.
"With the world's fifth largest military-industrial complex, Orb is essentially just a country disguised as an arms company."
"Oub, an island country in the ocean with a small population and area, has been able to develop into what it is today, all thanks to this turbulent world."
"It is precisely because of the turmoil in the world that Orb can make a fortune from the war, which supports the prosperity of the entire Orb."
"So-called neutrality, so-called non-aggression, non-attack, non-intervention in other countries' battles."
"It is nothing more than covering up its hypocrisy and pretending to be neutral and harmless, trying to make us ignore the truth behind Orb."
"But no one is stupid. We will not ignore what Orb is doing. Instead, it will be seen as a variable by the two strongest groups in the world."
"Impossible, how could this be possible."
Cagalli staggered back two steps. She was shocked by the truth about Orb as revealed by Wang Hu, and was also worried that Orb would be hostile to the United Nations and ZAFT.
No matter how little she understood politics, there was one thing the girl knew: there was a wolf next to two tigers fighting.
Usually one tiger is dead before the other can decide the winner.
"What else?" Wang Hu walked up to Li Chengzhi who came in and turned back and said.
"After you go back, with your identity, it won't be difficult to find out the weapons production capacity of the Shuguang Society as long as you investigate carefully, right?"
"That amount of weapons won't be eaten up by every household in Orb, right?"
"By the way, let's take a look at the export records of Shuguang Society to find out where the funding for the Mass Accelerator comes from."
"And how many of the people of Orb rely on the Aurora Society for their survival, you will understand for yourself what the truth of Orb is."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Cagalli to refute. Of course, the girl now didn't have the energy to refute.
After taking a last look at Cagalli who seemed petrified, Wang Hu opened the curtain and walked out with Li Chengzhi.
"Captain Wang Hu." Ashman, who was waiting outside, came over immediately upon seeing this.
Not seeing Kagali behind Wang Hu, he asked with a concern that didn't seem fake.
"Is Cagalli okay?"
"I think it should be okay. People always have to learn to grow up."
Wang Hu said to Ashman, and then asked Li Chengzhi.
"What's wrong? Why are you rushing to find me?"
"The preset position requires you and Kira to drive the Gundam over there, which will be faster."
"Also, you need to tell Malu and the others about the arrangements for the Archangel."
"What about you?" Wang Hu raised his eyelids. Apart from driving the Gundam to bury the mines, he really needed to go by himself.
After all, MS was originally an engineering machine.
But why should I handle the Archangel’s affairs myself?
"I have more important things to do." After giving such an answer, Li Chengzhi did not intend to explain.
"I see." In front of so many people, Wang Hu knew that now was not the time to ask too many questions.
So he said hello to a few people, and turned to look for Kira as Li Chengzhi requested, and prepared to negotiate with Malu and the others.
"Captain Li Chengzhi?" Seeing Wang Hu leave, Ashman looked at Li Chengzhi who was still standing there.
Don't you have more important things to do?
Ashman, who wanted to go into the tent to see Cagalli, had confusion in his eyes.
"Oh." Taking a deep breath of the hot desert air, Li Chengzhi pressed his temple which was in great pain.
Then he waved to Ashman, and without saying anything, he walked towards the East Asian Army's transport convoy.
"Who are these two people?"
Ashman couldn't understand the behavior of these two people, and he stood there in a daze for a while.
Then he put aside his attention on Wang Hu and Li Chengzhi, and immediately lifted the curtain to communicate with Kagali again.
Let the girl leave at least a little later.
But after entering the tent, he looked at the girl with her back to him and the tears dripping on the sand under her feet.
Ashman was stunned for a moment, then quickly and quietly retreated. He looked around, stamped his feet helplessly and said in a low voice.
"What is going on? It's a sin!"
The good mood did not last long because of the arrival of East Asian military supplies and instructors.
In an instant, Ashman's good mood disappeared like the wind.
On the other side, leaving Ashman and arriving at the location of the East Asian Army convoy, Li Chengzhi looked at the command vehicle in front of him.
"What must come will come."
Li Chengzhi also sighed, straightened his military uniform and opened the car door.
After entering the car, he spoke respectfully to an elderly and dignified middle-aged man in the car.
"Father, I never expected to meet you under such circumstances." "What is the purpose of your visit?"
“Hehehe.” The majestic middle-aged man chuckled and waved his hand.
"Don't be so nervous. The person standing in front of you is just a father who is worried about his son."
"So I can't just come to see my son who is fighting on the front line?"
"."
In response, he stared at the man in front of him, who was his father.
Li Chengzhi dared to swear to heaven that his father really came here just to see him.
As soon as he went out, he ate this command vehicle alive!
After another sigh, Li Chengzhi spoke slowly and respectfully.
The sun rises and sets; the passage of time is not determined by human will.
Soon the sun rose the next day, as planned.
Today is the day when the Archangel, which has made use of the rare peaceful time and properly repaired, sets sail again.
In the bridge of the Archangel, Malu glanced at Li Chengzhi who was standing next to her with a very obscure look.
Yesterday, Wang Hu came to her and mentioned that he and Li Chengzhi were about to leave. Ma Liu felt extremely complicated about this.
After the long journey, it seemed that not only themselves, but everyone on the ship had also become accustomed to the two of them.
They are leaving so suddenly, and to be honest, I feel empty inside, as if something is missing.
"Captain Maru, it's time."
Seeing that Malu had not given the order to advance for a long time, Li Chengzhi gave a side reminder.
"Oh oh oh, okay." Her pretty face flushed and Malu nodded repeatedly as if she suddenly realized something.
"Archangel is moving forward!"
He was facing a powerful enemy and was still distracted. This mistake made Mariu feel embarrassed.
"Captain, please rest assured. According to the route planned by Wang Hu and I, the Archangel should be able to reach the Alaska headquarters of the United Forces smoothly."
Li Chengzhi, standing straight with his hands behind his back, suddenly spoke.
"The refugees on the ship will also leave with us this time. I believe that with your and Lieutenant Bakilulu's abilities, the rest of the journey will be free of their encumbrance."
"It must be smooth sailing. See you in Alaska."
"Oh oh oh, okay."
Wan had never expected that the person next to her would actually comfort her. Mariu blushed and felt embarrassed again.
"Captain Li Chengzhi." At this time, Baki Lulu, who had remained silent, asked.
"Are you going back to be reorganized?"
"Huh?" Everyone on the inner bridge, including Mariu, pricked up their ears at once. They were obviously very curious about this question.
"may be."
Such an ambiguous answer was given, after all, even if he went back to receive reorganization.
Li Chengzhi, who couldn't possibly say it here, said in a deep voice, "Here it comes!"
"Here they come!" The faces of everyone on the Archangel, who had been through many battles and had been honed in actual combat, became solemn.
"So fast!" Not long after running out from the hiding place, the Desert Tiger Bartfield came over with two warships.
Such a scene made everyone on the bridge of the Archangel feel depressed.
"Let's proceed as planned." Li Chengzhi said calmly, signaling everyone not to be nervous as this was all within expectations.
"Captain, the Archangel actually escaped on its own!"
Martin shouted excitedly on the Desert Tiger's giant ground tank, the Petrie.
It can only be said to be a coincidence. Yesterday, along with the two members of Team Cruze from the universe, they also came with the information about the hiding place of the Archangel.
Today the captain said he was going to attack the Archangel, and the enemy appeared right in front of him!
Could it be that God is preparing to allow the Bartfield team to achieve another tremendous achievement today?
"Oh?" Bartfield stared at the Archangel on the screen, which was rushing towards the coastline.
He pondered silently for a while. Although he was able to devise a plan to wipe out the Eurasian Federation's heavy ground forces in one fell swoop, he was not as optimistic as his adjutant.
He glanced at him unnoticed and then stood behind him, looking more like a military supervisor than Aslan and the masked man Nigel who came to support him.
"What do you two think?" Bartfield asked tentatively.
“It all revolves around Captain Bartfield.”
Nigel quickly pulled Aslan, who was about to express his opinion, and stepped forward to answer in an impeccable manner.
"I believe that with the ability of the famous Desert Tiger, I can definitely fulfill the unfinished responsibility of Captain Cruze here today."
"Hmm." Touching his chin, Bartfield's eyes moved around the mask on Nigel's face.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the boy in front of me named Nigel has a vague shadow of Cruze.
"Let's attack with all our forces. Let Baku go and test the waters first. Martin, get my Lagu ready. I'll attack with him later!"
"Yes, Captain!" Martin answered loudly, since the captain also attacked!
Looking at the Archangel fleeing in panic on the screen, Martin paid extremely close attention!
