Chapter 85 Some rely on intelligence, some rely on intuition
Faced with the Eurasian Federation Army that had retreated into its turtle shell, the ZAFT warships that were approaching in large numbers fiercely unleashed their firepower at the crystal clear Moon Umbrellas.

The rumbling bombardment lasted for a full hour, with none of the usual ZAFT army's hesitant artillery fire.

"Hmph." Seeing that the Adjuster outside was still bombarding, Charles in the fortress command center also dispelled the last bit of worry in his heart.

He is not a fool. As a senior officer of the Eurasian Federation Army, he knows the combat effectiveness of the Adjuster.

Charles, who came from the Rongguang family, was still able to make rational judgments, which was why his own army was able to repel the Adjuster before.

Instinctively he felt that there must be something fishy going on, but when he saw the current performance of the ZAFT army.

"It seems that due to the trauma inflicted on them by East Asia, and in order to complete the landing operation, too many ZAFT veterans in space were drawn."

"So much so that now the ZAFT army has to send even unskilled recruits into battle!"

Charles made his own judgment calmly, and this was the only prerequisite.

This can explain why our soldiers were able to repel the adjusters.

After all, if our own veteran soldiers can't even beat the enemy's rookies.

There is no need to do anything to restore the glory of the Eurasian Federation.

The dream of restoring ancient glory and leading the human trend has come true.

"The general is right." Upon hearing this, his adjutant came forward, half bent over and raised his thumb.

"I think that in the current Eurasian Federation Army, only you, General, can lead the entire army onto the road of glory."

"Ha." He was very happy to hear that, but he still maintained his reserved expression. Major General Charles thought about it on the spot.

"Notify them and hold an officers' meeting to allow the soldiers who are going to the battle to take a vacation. The noble Eurasian Federation Army is not like the animals of East Asia."

"Only with a reasonable vacation can we maintain a strong fighting spirit."

"Understood." The adjutant understood the elegant meaning and nodded repeatedly.

What is an officers' meeting? Isn't it just a celebratory banquet?
However, the adjutant thought again, his own soldiers would often clamor for leave, and soldiers were more disciplined in observing working hours than civil servants.

For this purpose, a commercial street was actually created in the fortress.

This time we have won a great victory, and if we don’t give them leave, the soldiers might go on strike.

Since soldiers can have vacations, then should we, the noble and glorious high-ranking officers...

Whether it's for decency or to distinguish oneself from those soldiers!

It’s not a big deal to hold a small-scale celebration party like this, right?

Laughing, the adjutant thought of a certain officer's wife, who was also his mistress whom he had recently hooked up with.

His heart warmed and he immediately prepared to give orders according to General Charles's wishes.

"Wait, tell the soldiers to stay alert. Wait until the ZAFT army has completely left, then close the Moon Umbrella according to military regulations."

Before the adjutant turned around and left, General Charles did not forget to give him a few words of advice.

"Don't worry, General." The adjutant assured, patting his chest.

"Although the Moon Umbrella consumes a lot of energy, under the influence of the neutron jammer, the energy of our fortress is also quite tight."

"But at this critical moment, we will definitely not be stingy with energy supply!"

"Yes." Seeing the adjutant's solemn promise, General Charles expressed his satisfaction with his subordinates' efficiency.

Then he walked out the door. In order to prepare to attend the officers' meeting, he had to prepare some clothes.

The elegant and noble descendants of heroes cannot behave as vulgar as those cowboys in the New World!
"By the way, let's send an invitation to our friends in East Asia as well."

Before reaching the gate, Charles did not forget to invite those who considered themselves barbarians to come over and broaden their horizons.

"Okay, General. Don't worry, General!" Watching Charles leave, the adjutant Yahuazi laughed.

He also wholeheartedly agreed with his superior's decision!
East Asia? Humph, just barbarians!

On the Archangel, which accepted the invitation, everyone looked at the so-called invitation letter, and everyone on the bridge had a speechless expression.

"What a trick." Mu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Don't you think that if you win a fight, the adjusters will surrender?"

"It doesn't matter." Wang Hu shrugged his shoulders. He didn't have the kindness to remind Li Chengzhi of everything he had discovered on the battlefield. "Chengzhi, are you going?" Wang Hu turned around and asked Li Chengzhi.

"Oh." Hearing his friend's question, Li Chengzhi smiled naturally.

"As friendly forces, we must send a representative, otherwise it would be too rude, right?"

"What?" Mu asked on behalf of everyone on the bridge who was surprised to hear this.

"You actually went to attend such a meeting? This is not a formal officers' meeting!"

Shaking the perfumed invitation in his hand, Mu dared to swear by his dead father that it must be a cesspool full of disgusting and decadent old-time aristocratic style.

"Go." Li Chengzhi sighed and showed a helpless expression at the right time.

"For the sake of cooperation between our two families, and for the sake of harmony before the arrival of the East Asian reinforcements, if you don't go, then I'll have to go."

"Thank you for your hardship." Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Mu showed a sympathetic expression.

As for the others, including Baki Lulu, who hated Wang Hu and the other man with gritted teeth, did not show any suspicion on the surface in this situation.

After all, it is conceivable that this officers' meeting is definitely not one that a professional soldier would be happy to see and attend.

"Then I'll take you there. After that I can go take a rest."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Wang Hu walked up to Li Chengzhi, hugged him and pretended to send him off.

As soon as the two figures arm in arm left the bridge, Mu immediately changed his expression.

"Let everyone be more careful. I don't think Cruze on the other side will give up so easily."

"Huh?" Malu asked doubtfully, holding up the large headlights. "Aren't the enemies about to retreat? The Moon Umbrella is indestructible."

"I don't know, maybe just intuition?" Mu pointed to his head, without finishing his words.

From the previous conversation with Wang Hu outside the conference room, and this so-called great victory.

In addition, based on his understanding of Wang Hu and the other man, would those two be the kind of people who would give face to their allies for the sake of harmony among their allies?

Useless guy, those two won't even look at him!

So Mu Gan swore again on his dead father that Wang Hu and the other man must have their own plans. If not, then let his father die again!
"Malu." Bakilulu stopped the mascot captain from asking further questions.

She looked at Mu who had a thoughtful expression, and then spoke to Malu who was confused.

"No matter what happens next, we will not be wrong to maintain adequate vigilance in accordance with military regulations."

After that, Baki Lulu said to Mu again. "Captain Mu, please come here for a moment."

After saying this, Bakilulu brought Mu outside amid the puzzled gazes of the others.

"Wang Hu and Li Chengzhi have no intention of handing over the Archangel and the Strike Gundam, right?" she asked Mu.

"Uh." Mu found it difficult to answer this question. To be honest, he was sure that Wang Hu and the other man had no good intentions towards Artemis.

But he was not sure what kind of malicious intention it was.

"Sure enough." Baki Lulu didn't actually want Mu to answer her question, she just wanted to confirm it.

"In the eyes of those two people, they didn't take us or the Eurasian Federation seriously from the very beginning."

"And this time Li Chengzhi will attend the banquet, most likely with a purpose."

"Then?" Mu stared at this rare smart person on the warship and asked tentatively.

"Should we notify the Eurasian Federation Army?"

"Why?"

Should we say that he is resentful of what happened at the previous meeting?

Baki Lulu thought about the whole process and felt that no one would believe her even if she told him.

Or perhaps in order to bring the Archangel back safely, we must rely on the help of Wang Hu and others.

At this moment, Baki Lulu made the strange choice to remain confused.
