Chapter 211 Durandal, the top student in East Asia
how about?
Not really.
This was Lacus' first reaction after hearing the proposal from the black-haired boy Lelouch in front of her.
In her opinion, this is the most direct manifestation of the East Asian Federation's ill intentions towards her own Kulain faction.
He ran away alone, and all the top leaders of the Kulein faction ran away collectively.
The difference between the two is of great significance.
Lux's exile from PLANT to another country can be justified as a personal act, as she was persecuted by the Sara faction.
It is something that has to be done. Although it is related to the overall Kulein faction, the impact is controllable.
But if we follow Lelouch's suggestion, then it would be an irrefutable crime that would confirm the charge of treason.
It was almost foreseeable that all the Kulain supporters in the country would be in an uproar.
And the most important thing next is, should we set up a temporary government in East Asia?
Once you accept the proposal, you have no choice but to think about what happens next.
As a result of these actions, the reputation of the Kulain faction in PLANT has become very bad.
So don't even think about playing the king's return game.
So that's why. No wonder Wang Hu didn't dare to appear in front of me.
Although his expression did not change, the look in his eyes changed. Lacus stared at Lelouch in front of him shamelessly, thinking that he was a fool.
She finally understood the deep reason why Wang Hu didn't come.
Men's mouths are deceitful. He said it better than he sang it in Archangel.
Now that the time has come, you bring a little devil here to fool me?
So after experiencing the death of her father, Lux has successfully advanced from a politician's daughter to a politician.
"I agree in principle with East Asia's plan to lend a helping hand and rescue all the Kulain factions."
“And grateful for that.”
He agreed verbally, but in fact he had other plans in mind.
Lux asked calmly.
"I wonder if East Asia has any specific plans for this?"
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
The intrigue and cooperation begins now, and Lux is ready to take advantage of the situation.
She wanted to understand East Asia's overall plan first, and then work her way into key positions.
In one fell swoop, they could break away from the checks and balances of East Asia and the Sara faction, as long as they got the Eternity and successfully left Plant's homeland.
By then, the sea will be wide and the sky will be free for birds to fly.
"thank you for your support."
Lelouch bowed slightly, and the long speech he had prepared became nothing more than a piece of waste paper due to Lacus's cooperative performance.
But this does not mean that Lelouch is naive enough to believe that the pink-haired girl in front of him will cooperate with him honestly.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the woman in front of him has the same hair color as his sister Euphemia.
But whether it is the information obtained from Wang Hu or the short-term contact.
An interesting opponent.
Up to this point, Lelouch was still very confident that everything that was going to happen would go according to his wishes.
"The plan on the East Asian side is simple. We hope that Miss Lacus will give full play to the power of the Kulain faction."
"First, get today's schedule for all the people on this list."
He took out the personnel list that he had prepared on the way here, which was full of the names of important people on this satellite.
And Durandal, who is relatively inconspicuous in the middle.
Lelouch handed the list to Lacus.
"And we hope to get the deployment of troops from the ZAFT Army's homeland defense forces."
"As well as the dispatch time information of the relevant departments on this satellite, of course, the terrain map on the satellite is also needed."
"Please wait."
Without giving an immediate answer, Lux took the list and looked down.
Although the list of personnel drawn up by Lelouch seems fair and reasonable, people as smart as Lacus.
She still saw Durandal's name on the list at a glance.
In fact, regarding the negative information against him that is now widely spread in the satellite cluster, Lux is not a really good-tempered gentleman.
After learning more about it from the side, she couldn't be sure whether it was Durandal who did it.
But based on the same reasoning as Lelouch, whoever benefits the most has the strongest motivation.
Lux's eyes were also on Durandal.
His eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant Lux adjusted the strategy in his mind slightly.
"I will ask my supporters to sort out the information you need as soon as possible."
Putting away the list, Lacus gave an answer that satisfied Lelouch.
Then Lux made the excuse that she needed to contact her supporters, turned around and left gracefully.
It's stable. Lelouch smiled as he watched Lacus leave.
As he expected, this woman also saw the mystery in the list.
In this case, at least 70% of the information she provided should be usable.
Then the rest depends on East Asia.
When they were the only ones left in the room, Lelouch asked the East Asian leader who had accompanied him and the others to come.
Ask him to prepare a list that is exactly the same as the one he gave to Lux.
Lelouch wants to perfect his plan by comparing the two pieces of information.
"It's really scary."
Unconsciously, he and Zhang Peng and his apprentice came together. Mu looked at Lelouch who was sitting there with his eyes closed, thinking of a plan. "Whether it's the one called Lelouch or our target Lacus."
“I feel like this journey will definitely not be easy.”
"Hehehe."
After giving two dry laughs, Zhang Peng wiped the sweat that was oozing from his forehead.
Colonel Wang Hu, where are you now?
If you had come back later, I think the entire PLANT would have been turned upside down by those two people!
And what about Wang Hu, who Zhang Peng was thinking about so much at this moment? Where is he now?
Through the underground workers in East Asia, Wang Hu got the daily schedules of some people earlier than Lelouch and Lacus.
Then, according to the records on the table, Wang Hu strolled to the door of Durandal's house.
According to intelligence, this former PhD in biology, now a rising political star in PLANT, did not go anywhere today and stayed at home.
“It seems that people involved in politics are not short of money.”
After walking around Durandal's house, Wang Hu came to an insightful conclusion.
Although Durandal's house is far inferior to the Kulain House, it is a good thing to own a single-family house in a colonial satellite where every inch of land is valuable.
It can be seen that the other party’s financial resources must not be too bad.
"Thanks to the local policy, there are no cameras installed?"
After muttering twice, Wang Hu, who had just walked around the house and obtained information, skipped a step and walked to the edge of the wall.
Then he took a few running steps, stepped on the opponent's wall and then made a standard Uncle Long-style jump.
Wang Hu easily slipped into Durandal's house.
Creepily yet openly.
Perhaps because Durandal is a typical Westerner, the doors and windows of Westerners' homes in many safe neighborhoods are usually open.
Wang Hu came to the yard and climbed up to the second floor. He randomly tried a few doors and windows, and he easily entered the house again.
"this is?"
When luck comes, it really cannot be stopped. The place where Wang Hu broke in might be the study room of the other party's house.
With a casual glance, Wang Hu saw the photo frame on the desk.
Inside is a photo of Talia, the future female captain of the Minerva. Of course, in the photo the beautiful captain is hugging a child and smiling sweetly.
"The starting point of destiny's plan."
After standing there and looking for a while, Wang Hu put the photo frame in his pocket.
Then he no longer hid himself, opened the door and walked out normally.
Of course, no matter how small the noise made by opening the door was, Durandal was not a deaf person.
Then he heard an unusual noise, coupled with the sound of Lei, a clone of Cruze whom he adopted.
Currently undergoing training at the ZAFT military academy, Durandal, who was dressed relatively casually at home, came over in response to the sound.
"Hello, Mr. Durandal."
Durandal didn't look nervous at all, and was holding two cups of hot tea in his hands.
Wang Hu greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Hu."
A look of astonishment flashed across his face. It was clearly the first time that Durandal met Wang Hu, and Wang Hu was now an uninvited intruder.
But Durandal was like meeting an old friend. When his dumbfounded look disappeared, he naturally handed over the cup of hot tea in his hand.
"So hot."
With a half-smile on his face, Wang Hu took the teacup and stared at the steaming tea in the cup.
"I thought you would pour this water on me as soon as you saw me."
"After all, you Westerners seem to like drinking ice water."
You can estimate the temperature of the tea just by looking at it. If it really splashed all over your head and face, even Wang Hu would not feel good.
"Mr. Wang Hu is really good at joking."
With a smile, even if Durandal had this idea in his mind, he would definitely not say it in public.
Glancing at the place where Wang Hu came out, he calmly made the invitation.
"Please come this way. Today a unicorn has come to my humble house, which really brings honor to my humble abode."
"you flatter me."
Wang Hu, who was following behind Durandal and never hit anyone who smiled at him, was being polite in a business manner.
"Mr. Durandal's use of East Asian allusions is really good."
"Of course it is."
He brought Wang Hu to a quiet reception room, sat down as host and guest, and then put the teacups in their hands on the coffee table.
Durandal complimented with a smile.
"Today, East Asia is becoming an important force in leading world peace. As East Asia's strength gradually increases, its influence on the world is growing."
“Learning East Asian culture and languages has become a mainstream trend in today’s world.”
"I can say responsibly that if we want to achieve better development and seize opportunities in today's world, East Asia is an important link that cannot be ignored."
“Anyone who maintains the arrogance and prejudice of the past and is unwilling to face the ever-changing East Asia will inevitably be left behind by the tide of the times.”
It felt like he was watching official news, and Wang Hu stared at Durandal in surprise.
No wonder Durandal was able to fool the Atlantic Federation during the Second World War.
It can also bring together the two major factions in the satellite group that are supposed to be as hostile as water and fire.
"Secretary Durandal, may I ask, have you ever studied in East Asia?"
Wang Hu would never believe the opponent's level, even if he died. He was self-taught.
How could such achievements be achieved without more than ten years of practice?
“I once wanted to go to East Asia, but unfortunately I never had the chance.”
"But I have read a lot of books on East Asia, especially the humanities, which have benefited me a lot."
