Gundam 00: Rise of China

Time flies by like flowing water. Ever since he met Shana that day, Wang Ye has stopped wandering around.

Firstly, there's not much time left before Union's ultimatum, so we need to work overtime and visit several cities and bases.

It would be better to let the reputation of the cities and bases where we've already run the tour spread, since distance makes the heart grow fonder.

A beauty shrouded in mystery is always more alluring than one seen in person.

Those who harbor longings are more likely to romanticize the person they speak of, especially if they never actually meet them.

The white moonlight is nothing more than this.

In addition, Wang Ye was also worried about letting Manekin stay in the central government of Taliban.

It was agreed beforehand that the mission in Taliban required mutual consent to proceed.

If it was because he was always out and about that Manekin found a loophole and presented him with a selfishly scheming battle plan.

Then, by arguing that "you're not even in the central command, so where am I supposed to go to discuss this with you?", they completely blocked Wang Ye's path to changing the plan.

Wouldn't it be Wang Ye's turn to hide in a corner and cry then?

It's important to understand that a complete battle plan involves many aspects; once it's finalized, it's finalized.

It's nothing like when the client asks the contractor for a proposal costing a thousand or eight hundred at any time...

There is no situation where hundreds or thousands of solutions are proposed, but the initial version is ultimately used.

"That's the plan."

Sure enough, it was fortunate that Wang Ye returned early, otherwise Manekin might have really done something like forcing a duck onto a shelf.

Wang Ye flipped through the overall battle plan drafted by Manekin in his hand, and after just a couple of glances, he could tell that it contained a lot of personal bias.

Some of these targets were aimed at Taliban, while others were aimed at the Taliban. Taliban followed this plan.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but once you actually do it, you're sure to be in deep trouble.

While it may indeed delay the Union for eight to ten years, such delays would absolutely violate the original intention of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

Do you have any objections?

With his arms crossed, Manekin waited for Wang Ye to find fault with him.

The Taliban fools can't see it, but she's sure Wang Ye can.

It's nothing more than picking at the thorns pointed at the other side and the People's Revolutionary Alliance; these thorns are meant to be picked at by the other side.

As for the trap set by Taliban, Manekin was confident that even if Wang Ye on the other side saw through it, he would just accept it.

but……

Suppressing the urge to curl his lips into a smile, Manekin eagerly awaited the moment when his true killing move would be unleashed, wondering how Wang Ye would respond.

What's in the plan is just a plan; how could the real thing possibly appear in the plan?

"I have no objection in principle."

On the surface, he was looking at the project proposal, but how could Wang Ye not pay attention to Manekin?

Wang Ye glanced at Manekin's lips out of the corner of his eye and said softly, closing the thick, seemingly comprehensive document.

"A few questions."

After glancing at the white paper cover plan that conformed to the procedures and regulations, Wang Ye, just as Manekin had predicted, made a few superficial criticisms.

"That's it?"

After waiting quietly for Wang Ye to finish nitpicking, Manekin unexpectedly asked a follow-up question.

Although it seemed to be exactly as she had expected, Wang Ye's calm demeanor made Manekin uneasy.

"Yes, Colonel Manekin truly lives up to his reputation as a top-notch tactical commander; the strategic direction he devised is impeccable."

Without even lifting his eyelids, Wang Ye uttered polite words.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Manekin's eyes scanned Wang Ye from head to toe like an X-ray, but out of respect for his position as the chief tactical commander of the AEU, he remained silent.

With a cold laugh, Manekin strode out with Patrick, followed by the high-ranking officials she had recently won over.

Later, after everyone had left.

As the Taliban president's representative, the aide who had served the president for a long time then came over and asked.

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"Yes, but it's okay. Just like I said, the general direction is fine."

"He's the chief tactical commander, after all; his hard power is undeniable."

Meeting the inquisitive gaze of the servant, Wang Ye reached into his robes.

"In general, but in terms of details, there are still many problems?"

Very few people who can stand next to the president of a country are fools. With his eyes fixed on Wang Ye's hand that had reached into his pocket, he directly pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Um."

Wang Ye pulled a small hard drive from his pocket, pleased that his business partner was a smart man.

"So, we just follow the plan outlined here in all other aspects?"

The servant took the hard drive from Wang Ye with a very strange look in his eyes. He had heard that in ancient times, wise men in the East would devise strategies before anything even happened.

But can stories and legends be the same as reality?

You, who wanders around everywhere, already foresaw what Manekin would do and what he would do.

Are all Easterners this mysterious?

"If I put myself in her shoes, I can guess about 70-80% of what she would do. I just need to double-check it."

Wang Ye naturally noticed the strange look in the servant's eyes and tapped the table lightly.

"The important thing is whether you dare to do the things I mentioned, and whether you and your people can do them."

What will the future hold for Taliban?

Holding the hard drive, the servant's hand kept stroking it.

"In the future, children can stand tall."

A promise that didn't sound like a promise came from Wang Ye's mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, the servant holding the hard drive said nothing more.

He didn't even look at the contents of the hard drive, but he could tell from the servant's eyes and the way he left.

It seems there's no need to say anything more.

Thus, the prelude to the Taliban war is about to begin.

Tianren, Union, AEU, Rengelian.

The world's three poles and disruptors will soon be able to show their colors on the stage in Taliban.

"Something's not right, something's really not right."

Manekin had been keeping a close eye on Wang Ye's movements for the past few days, and he originally thought that Wang Ye would try some underhanded tricks.

However, what she saw was that Wang Ye didn't make any move; he just stayed quietly in the military base assigned to him.

"What is he thinking?"

The enemy is the Celestials, the Union, and Komanekin also turned the enemy's spearhead towards the People's Revolutionary Union to which Wang Ye belonged.

Therefore, the quieter Wang Ye was, the more tense Manekin became.

"Colonel, come and see if these Taliban have gone mad. Do they really think the Celestials can help them?"

As the time for Union's ultimatum was about to expire, Patrick suddenly walked over with a tablet.

After Wang Ye's guidance, Patrick, though not as sycophantic as in the original story, tried to act a little more ruthless and career-minded.

However, old habits die hard. Seeing Manekin's restlessness these past few days, Patrick picked out what he considered a way to amuse his sweetheart and help her relax.

"Taliban?"

Manekin, who had been staring intently at Wang Ye, suddenly felt a jolt of surprise and snatched the tablet from Patrick's hand.

Then I quickly skimmed through the news article above...

Manekin's expression was unusually subtle.
