Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 791: Driving the tiger to devour the wolf! (3/3)

“It’s a truly remarkable project.”

In the space near the Pillars of Heaven, a battleship hidden behind the Earth is peering at the Pillars of Heaven in the distance.

In the bridge of the battleship, Matthias and Lao Lu Cruze were sitting there, staring at the Pillar of Heaven on the screen.

"Sir Mathias. Why did you attack that orbital space station?"

Lao Lu Cruze seemed a little dissatisfied with Matthias for calling him out of the Carpentaria base and bringing him into the universe.

If it were in a city near the base, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But the time it takes to travel back and forth from the Earth to the universe is enough to make Lao Lu Cruze suspected by the Carpentaria base.

"Don't worry, Master Cruze! I have already arranged everything for you at the base. Also, someone has been assigned to protect your young man."

Mathias smiled slightly, calming Cruze's dissatisfaction.

If Matthias could see through the mask on Cruze's face, he would definitely see Cruze's eyes full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

"Really? I didn't expect that Mr. Mathias is so thoughtful. I would like to thank Mr. Mathias on behalf of Lei."

"No. That's not necessary! After all, that guy ran all the way from the PLANT mainland to the Carpentaria base to look for you. No matter what, you have to arrange a safe environment for him."

Matthias waved his hand and then said seriously.

"Mr. Cruze, what do you think of the current situation?"

"The current situation?"

Cruze snorted coldly.

"Neither the Earth Alliance nor ZAFT is able to launch an offensive in such a short time. I'm afraid ZAFT will take corresponding actions only after the wedding of Mr. Sara."

"A month? That's too long."

Matthias shook his head and sighed.

"Mr. Cruze, this is the latest information sent back from PLANT and ZAFT."

Cruze raised his eyebrows, took it casually, then opened it and looked at it for a moment, then fell into thought.

no doubt.

The information here was beyond Cruze's expectations.

At first, Lei ran alone from PLANT to the Carpentaria base to find him, and he had already brought Durandal with him based on his intelligence.

But at that time, Durandal did not seem to have anticipated that an "unknown force" would sneak into April City and rescue those congressmen. He only told Cruze through Ray the information that the congressmen might be kidnapped and used to create copycats to replace them.

At this moment, the information handed over by Matthias was much more detailed than the previous one.

It's not just about the invasion of "unknown forces", but also about the scene after the invasion where Patrick Sala, with a large force, surrounded the group of forces that Matthias hated, forced them out, made an agreement with them in a tough manner, and then left.

“I didn’t expect that there were such secrets behind the wedding of the young master of the Sara family.”

Cruze put down the information in his hand and looked at Mathias.

Cruze understood.

Matthias was anxious.

After discovering that the person he hated had reached an agreement with Patrick Sara, who controlled PLANT and ZAFT, Matthias chose to take a risk out of fear that he would not be able to take revenge.

"But, Sir Mathias, do you think the Pillar of Heaven has the ability to start a war? Well, will East Asia start a war at this critical moment?"

In response to Cruze's question, Matthias laughed.

"No. I'm not that confident. I just have this intuition."

"intuition?"

Cruze hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Matthias, do you think those congressmen were rescued by Dongya?" "No. I don't have any evidence. Moreover, PLANT and ZAFT have not released any evidence. Besides, I believe that Mr. Speaker Patrick Sarah has destroyed all the evidence."

As he spoke, Matthias pointed to his forehead.

“These are all my intuitions.”

"Intuition?"

Cruze suddenly laughed a few times.

"That's a good explanation. When you are confused, following direct instructions seems to be a good choice."

"Then, Sir Mathias, tell me your plan! I will do my best to cooperate."

"No, no, Lord Cruze, you just sit here with me and watch the orbital space station. Let those desperadoes take care of the fighting and killing."

Matthias thought about it for a moment and smiled.

"I remember there is a saying in East Asia that has been passed down from ancient times, which seems to be called 'diverting troubles to the east'."

"Oh, really? I've heard this saying before - to drive away a tiger and have it swallow a wolf. It's also a phrase that has been passed down from ancient East Asia."

The moment the sharp warning sounded, the Pillar of Heaven suddenly exploded.

All personnel in a state of combat readiness immediately took action, took their positions, and carried out their own work according to the combat plan.

In the command center, Li Xuan and Lund Mina Sahak exchanged views.

"Keep working on the linking! Don't be scared by these little movements!"

Li Xuan gave the order firmly.

"Notify the Polaris and all warships and MS units in combat readiness to launch an all-out attack. Make sure to drive the invading enemy out of the space where the Pillar of Heaven is located, and do everything in your power to prevent the enemy from affecting the link operation!"

"Yes!"

In the port, the Polaris started its engine and sailed out of the port at a slow speed. At the same time, it also entered the attack state in the hangar.

"Sure enough, he's here! Sergei, your prediction is really accurate! You are worthy of being called Wild Bear."

Lockon held Haro in his arms, activated the Dynamis Gundam, and praised in the encrypted channel.

"I don't hope this speculation will come true."

Sergei, who was activating the Iron General, shook his head slightly, looking quite regretful.

"Sir, it is easy to win this battle. But future operations may not be so safe."

"Diverting trouble to others? Or is it driving a tiger to swallow a wolf?"

While He Ming activated Chengying, he also asked a question to the bridge.

"Bridge, what's the name here? Do you know the number of incoming enemies and their aircraft types?"

"Yes! This is the bridge. Colonel He. The radar shows that the incoming enemy is 20 Jinns and a fleet consisting of 10 Nazca-class battleships and Loracia-class battleships. The enemy may have hidden a considerable number of mobile suits, so please be careful!!"

"Ginn? Nazca level?"

Salamantini was surprised.

"Disguised as ZAFT?"

"It's very likely! It seems that the mastermind behind this wants us to step into the vortex of fighting with ZAFT."

He Ming adjusted the headband, felt Chengying's condition slightly, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"No matter what the other party's plan is, what we need to do now is to drive these enemies out of the universe where the Pillar of Heaven is located."

"Yes!"
