Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1376 Shocking news!

In the afternoon, after finishing the necessary documents for the day and preparing to plan where to go in the evening, Gilbert Durandal received some very bad news.

"Chairman! Urgent news!!"

After knocking on Gilbert Durandal's door, everyone filed in.

Gilbert Durandal looked up and saw members of the Supreme Council and the National Defense Committee.

"What happened? You're so flustered."

Gilbert Durandal looked at this rare scene and asked slowly.

"Yes, Speaker. This is urgent news from Earth! It's about Victoria Airport."

After Gilbert Durandal entered the Supreme Council, he promoted a number of new members who identified with him or were even loyal to him.

And it was one of these people who delivered the message to Gilbert Durandal.

Edward Lee.

"Li. We have discussed the news about Victoria Airport many times. At present, it is not..."

After quickly reading the content of the urgent message, Gilbert Durandal's expression changed and he became gloomy.

This is indeed an emergency!
A major event that is enough to affect the stability of PLANT and ZAFT for some time to come.

Gilbert Durandal took a quick, deep breath and nodded calmly.

"I understand! Now the National Defense Committee will immediately organize personnel to thoroughly investigate the projects and personnel related to nuclear-powered MS. In addition, you have not given me a satisfactory answer to the previous investigation of Junius 7!"

Gilbert Durandal clenched his fist slightly and tapped the tabletop.

"This time, the National Defense Committee and ZAFT must do their jobs well. Otherwise, if your laxity causes PLANT to fall into war again and we lose this rare peace, the National Defense Committee and ZAFT will be the sinners of PLANT!"

"Yes! Speaker! I promise to complete the task!"

The people in the National Defense Committee knew that they could no longer play dumb.

This was because the opponent's sword tip had already been against PLANT's heart. With a little force, he could penetrate PLANT, who had just recovered with great difficulty.

"As for the Supreme Council, well, gather the members! Also, send a notification letter to the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, the East Asian Republic, and Orb, reiterating that we have not supported any unknown organizations, nor have we actively leaked any technology related to the anti-neutron jammer."

After a pause, Gilbert Durandal frowned, and finally slowly relaxed.

"Finally, as the chairman of the Supreme Council, I extend an invitation to the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, the East Asian Republic, and Orb, hoping that they can send a technical assistance team to assist our PLANT in developing a solar power generation system."

After saying these words, Gilbert Durandal waved his hand, signaling everyone to go back and follow his orders. Everyone knew that Gilbert Durandal needed to think quietly at the moment, so they quietly left the office.

After the office quieted down, Gilbert Durandal dialed a number.

"Jill. I'm here!"

"Um, Thalia. Sorry! I'm afraid I won't be able to keep your date tonight."

"is it?"

The voice on the other end of the line seemed a little disappointed, but Gilbert Durandal could hear a hint of uncontrollable joy.

"Jill."

Talia whispered Gilbert Durandal's name again.

"I'm listening. Thalia."

Gilbert Durandal smiled slightly, knowing that Talia could no longer hide her joy.

But he didn't know what this joy was. Unfortunately, he was delayed by the emergency situation on Earth and couldn't go to Talia in person to share her joy.

"Jill, I..."

After a long time, Gilbert Durandal, who had been sitting in the chair with a dazed expression, gradually came to his senses.

He reached out to the table and grasped the microphone, but suddenly found that the microphone, which he could easily pick up at ordinary times, seemed as heavy as a thousand or ten thousand pounds at this moment, and he could hardly hold it.

He took several deep breaths, gradually calmed his emotions and his trembling heart, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Then he heard a gentle and elegant voice coming from the other side of the microphone.

"Jill. You haven't contacted me in a while."

Gilbert Durandal's expression changed several times, and then he slowly spoke.

"Sorry, Lei, I've been really busy lately. How's the situation at the Genetic Research Institute?"

"Yeah. It's okay. I understand. Jill is now working on the future for everyone in PLANT! I can understand that. As for the Genetic Research Institute, everything is still the same! No big deal."

"is it?"

Gilbert Durandal subconsciously pulled the corner of his mouth, but found that his left hand was clenched tightly for a long, long time, so long that he almost ignored the existence of his left hand.

"Jill, what's wrong? Why has your voice changed?"

On the other side of the microphone, Lei was a little confused.

"Do not."

Gilbert Durandal pulled the corners of his mouth hard, forcing a smile.

"Maybe I'm too tired. Lei, an emergency just happened on Earth. I need your help. This is extremely urgent."

Lei was stunned for a moment, then responded crisply.

"Okay! Jill. Just give me your orders! I'll do my best to complete them!"

"Thank you! Lei, you are such a good boy! I will have someone send you the specific content. After you have done the analysis, send it directly to my email and I will use the method we agreed on before."

Lei frowned slightly, but responded.

"Got it, Jill."

After talking with Lei again and exchanging updates, the moment Gilbert Durandal put down the phone, he collapsed into his chair as if he had lost all his strength.

But within a few breaths, a sharp look appeared on Gilbert Durandal's face.

He stood up and walked towards the door step by step.

As he took a step forward, the hesitation and faint fear of Gilbert Durandal were gradually dispelled, and he was replaced by the gentle, elegant and wise Gilbert Durandal, the Chairman of the Supreme Council.

"Click!!"

The moment the door opened, the secretaries and attendants who had been waiting for a long time came.

Gilbert Durandal nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

"Let's go! Don't keep everyone waiting too long."

"Yes! Speaker!"

In any case, Gilbert Durandal is now the chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council, Talia's lover, and the adoptive father of Ray Za Barel. Apart from these, he has no other identities.
