Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 823: The drums of war are gradually sounding! (Update)

In fact, He Ming’s prediction about Durandal was quite accurate.

After learning that Durandal really left Talia with Lacus Clyne and returned to PLANT alone as predicted, Deng Hai no longer talked about issues related to Durandal.

He Ming knew that the East Asian upper echelons who had asked the reason through Deng Hai should have adjusted the level of attention they paid to Durandal.

This is the best He Ming can do at present.

Gilbert Durandal, before he ascended to a position in control of everything, he was still an elegant expert in the field of genetic research, rather than a political strongman with strong skills and ability to act.

Therefore, Durandal will not show any ambition now, but will fully cooperate with the requirements of the congressmen and serve them.

"General He."

He Ming stood by the pond near his residence, staring at the willow trees in the distance and thinking about his next plan of action when a familiar voice came from behind him. It was Lux.

"Lacus, have you resolved the issue?"

After Lacus declared that she would bear all the consequences of her actions, the congressmen reached a consensus on the spot and expressed their willingness to unite with Lacus Klein and work together to defeat the enemy.

And Durandal was one of the requirements specifically put forward by the parliamentarians after they knew the ins and outs of the Destiny Plan.

The reason is Durandal's understanding of the Destiny Plan and his ability to become the gloves of the congressmen, contact the current PLANT insiders, identify the congressmen who have not been cloned, and win them over.

As a result, after one round of contact, both parties were satisfied.

He Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Talia who was standing not far away.

"Everyone has reached an agreement. Next, we will follow the general's arrangement, join the attacking fleet, and help the fleet defeat the enemy when the time is right."

Lux noticed He Ming looking at Talia.

of course.

She didn't think He Ming would have any thoughts about Talia, but she thought He Ming should have guessed why Talia stayed here and stayed by her side.

"General, you don't like what the congressmen are doing?"

He Ming shook his head.

"This is the choice of the councillors and Durandal. Besides, I have expressed some resistance and disgust towards this, haven't I?"

He Ming bent down, picked up a small stone and threw it towards the water. After watching the flying stone create several ripples on the water, he said in a deep voice.

"It's just that you, or rather Councillor Yuri Amalfi, should be on your guard. Gilbert Durandal is not an easy man to get along with."

"Destiny's plan?"

Lux immediately understood He Ming's warning.

She recalled that when Gilbert Durandal was talking about the destiny plan, he attributed almost all the credit and guilt to Yulian Xiang and Ola Maha Hebel, and he himself was described by them as a technician who obeyed the arrangements and followed the procedures.

Although there were no flaws in the description, Lux, as a listener, did not fully accept Durandal's explanation.

"Ah."

He Ming nodded slowly.

"Gilbert Durandal. Whether it's his status as a researcher at Mendel or his former friendship with Ola Mahal Hebel, he can be exposed to the Destiny Plan and be qualified to participate in it."

"Despite his qualifications, Durandal is trying his best to minimize his presence. This has gone beyond the necessity of self-preservation."

"Self-protection? If Durandal had needed to protect himself at that time, he would probably have described himself as an indispensable and important role in the destiny plan. But..."

Lux frowned slightly.

"This is because, at that time, he had already guessed that the councillors were in Nova."

He Ming picked up the stone again, weighed it in his palm, but did not throw it. "General, are you saying that Durandal wants to use this to attract the attention of the parliamentarians?"

"I guess so!"

He Ming shook his head and threw the stone in his palm away.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about Durandal. At this stage, that man will definitely cooperate with our actions. No matter how ambitious he is, he won't show it at this time."

After saying that, He Ming turned around and looked at Lux.

"After this war is over, I might go on a long journey. Do you still stick to your decision?"

Lux was surprised, but she nodded firmly.

"Yes. General, I want to see the starry sky that you have seen."

"Then you have to be mentally prepared."

He Ming smiled slightly and looked towards the dome.

"The fleet will probably launch an attack in 72 hours. Enter the designated space area in advance and wait for that moment to come. You, go back and prepare everything!"

"Yes! General."

Earth, South Africa.

Victoria Airport.

Under the order of around-the-clock non-stop operation, Victoria Airport has been in a high-intensity operation state since it was recaptured by the Earth Union.

At every moment, there are spacecrafts from the Earth Alliance transporting troops, supplies and even equipment to the lunar base, soaring from the mass accelerator of Victoria Airport and flying towards deep space.

And on a gray day, a man came to Victoria Airport with his new toy.

"How long until we set off?"

Murta Azrael sat on a luxurious and comfortable single sofa, tapping the back of his left hand slowly with his right hand.

Although his expression was very calm, the small movements of his right hand revealed that he was somewhat anxious at the moment.

"Yes! Leader. Our shuttle will take off in half an hour! And the spacecraft carrying the three new machines will take off after the shuttle takes off."

The woman in the Earth Federation lieutenant uniform said respectfully.

"Half an hour? Never mind. Is there any wine here?"

Murta Azrael frowned and looked around. It was obvious that the room he was in was a room specially vacated by Victoria Airport.

Victoria Airport, which is now in a high-intensity operation state, does not have many vacant rooms to receive guests. In addition, after the fierce looting battle, the Earth Alliance Army that recovered the mass accelerator has no extra strength to repair the houses damaged in the war. They can only invest all available resources and manpower to ensure the operation of Victoria Airport.

Therefore, Murta Azrael's request seemed a bit unreasonable.

The female lieutenant of the Earth Federation Army standing behind him looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

"Forget it! Forget it!! What happened to those three guys? I spent a lot of money to bring them here. Don't tell me that they are lying on the bed like dead fish again."

"No! Leader! The three biological CPUs, Gurot Buel, Shani Andras, and Oluga Sabnack, have entered a stable period. According to the experts, they have met the requirements to participate in actual combat."

"Good! This is barely good news!!"

Murta Azrael clapped his hands, a fierce gleam in his eyes.

"It just so happens that we can give those monsters a big gift when they hold their wedding!!!"
