Gundam 00: Rise of China

Chapter 94 With your looks, you still try to use your beauty to your advantage?

"You bastard, why did you come to Moralia?!"

At Moralia's capital international airport, Patrick, with an expression that perfectly embodies loyalty, was yelling loudly.

Behind him stood Manekin, her expression serene, if one disregarded the fact that she led a large contingent of AEU elites dressed in Moralian uniforms.

This resulted in a large area being left empty at the airport's international arrivals exit, which should have been extremely busy.

Even in a volatile place like Moralia.

With his sunglasses back on and his hair dyed blonde, Wang Ye might actually think that Manekin had come to welcome him.

"It's been a long time, Colonel Manekin."

After glancing at Patrick, who had disappointed him greatly, Wang Ye turned and greeted Manekin.

Honestly, Wang Ye had completely given up hope on Patrick. "I taught him so much in this country, and this is what he got?"

A leopard can't change its spots. You'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for water to wear away the stone and the sea to dry up and the rocks to crumble!

Feeling inexplicably offended by Wang Ye, Patrick politely greeted Piris and Anura, who had accompanied him, before continuing to cause trouble for Wang Ye.

As for the two people who had saved him in Taliban and whom he considered friends, regardless of what those two people thought, Patrick absolutely appreciated their kindness.

that is----

Patrick, who was preparing to cause trouble for Wang Ye again, looked at Anura, who had a bitter expression, with some worry.

"What's wrong with you? Did that bastard named Char take advantage of you too much?"

"no."

She was taken aback by Patrick's sudden concern, but at least she had finally met someone who cared about her.

Anura was almost in tears; he had given up hope for his future.

I even felt like screaming at the heavens, "I'm so desperate for this hopeless world!"

"that?"

Patrick took a half step back, startled by Anura's expression. He then realized that his actions were inappropriate, but looking at Anura's appearance, he dared not go forward.

After hesitating for a moment, Patrick spoke loudly.

"It must be tough following a bastard like Xia. That kind of guy doesn't understand human relationships at all. He's obviously a vicious boss who only knows how to exploit his subordinates and use them as pawns."

"Our Colonel Manekin is different; why don't you come work for us?"

Patrick extended his hand in an invitation, feeling that his actions were a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone move, regardless of whether Anura would come or not.

It both disgusts and exposes Char's evil, while highlighting the excellence of his dream goddess, Colonel Manekin!

Little did they know—

Wang Ye, who was walking toward Manekin, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Patrick's words, and his expression toward Manekin became incredibly subtle.

So this is your original persona as a caring older sister?

roll!

The two exchanged a fierce glance, completing their first round of greetings through eye contact.

"Patrick, you come back here!"

Because of his knight Patrick's nonsensical antics, Manekin's eyes twitched and he roared.

Ignoring Patrick's pitiful expression, Manekin stepped forward and confronted Wang Ye.

"The military exercises in Moralia are our AU's business, what are you doing here?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm Char, a mercenary from Moralia. How could I not come back for something this big?"

"After all, this is my motherland."

Wang Ye shrugged slightly; he wasn't buying Manekin's act.

If you're so capable, arrest me and see if you dare to do it.

"and----"

Without giving Manekin a chance to speak, Wang Ye stabbed her in the heart.

"Isn't the situation in Taliban enough to keep your AEU busy?"

"You actually have the time and the inclination to conduct such a large-scale military exercise at this time? How many elite divisions have you deployed?"

"By the way, is your AEU's finances holding up?"

"Just tell me if you need anything, don't be shy. We can certainly provide some financial assistance."

"At that time, we can just sign a few agreements and use some customs duties or salt taxes as collateral."

"If that's not enough, no problem, just give us a few special economic zones."

"It's about common development."

"Hehehe."

After letting out a few cold laughs, Manekin had only one opinion about Wang Ye: he was a hypocrite, crying crocodile tears.

Who dug the hole in Taliban?

If the AEU really runs into financial problems, it's all your fault for causing this.

However, Wang Ye's words really touched on Manekin's hidden worries. Ever since the AEU refused to let go of Taliban, it has been determined to prove its strength on that land.

Now, the AEU has fully taken over the former Union military positions in Taliban.

A total of five divisions have been dispatched, with the number of logistics support personnel reaching 12.5.

Including equipment, base setup, and other details and costs, these Taliban troops have consumed a significant portion of the AEU's military budget.

This forced the council to urgently allocate an additional special military budget for this year.

The AEU had originally considered getting Taliban to pay this money, but Taliban kept saying they wanted to replace the People's Revolutionary Alliance for protection.

Besides, hasn't our country also purchased a considerable amount of military equipment from your country?

Are those considerable fees not enough to compensate for the protection costs your army inflicts on our country?

The thought of this made Manekin furious.

Yes, Taliban did pay for arms, which is considered a form of protection money.

Can----

My great AEU has its own national conditions. Do you think it's so easy to take out the real money that went into military enterprises?

This forces my AEU army to do business in Taliban to supplement our income, but even if we do business, the local Taliban are incredibly rude!

Since when did the protected country dare to interfere with the troubles of the protected country's troops? Businesses that are written in the constitution cannot be done, and so can things that are popular and welcome, such as extortion and bribery!

"It's all because you're supporting the Taliban!"

Suddenly, Manekin, his anger flaring, uttered these words to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, who pretended not to know the truth, didn't care. Instead, he flirted with Manejin and smiled obsequiously.

This made Patrick's eyes practically blaze with fury.

"Has Union been causing you any trouble lately?"

Manekin, caught off guard, didn't realize that her current posture with Wang Ye might cause misunderstandings for others.

Or perhaps, Manekin secretly hoped that outsiders would misunderstand his relationship with Wang Ye.

If AEU gains an ace player because of a mere misunderstanding, this deal would be incredibly worthwhile!

Thank you for your concern.

A rare glimpse of feminine charm appeared on her face as Manekin grabbed Wang Ye's hand, which was trying to pull away from her arm.

"The Union Army has built numerous military bases along the border with Taliban."

"We are suggesting that Taliban locate the economic zone it cooperates with your country on opposite the Union Army base."

"With your country's formidable reputation, what is the little Union army? They wouldn't dare to make a move, oh, oh."

Holding Wang Ye's hand, Manekin chuckled and patted the other's arm.

The balance of power shifts in an instant, and few people who can navigate the complex systems of the three great powers are truly simple.

Manekin's countermeasures against the Union military base were truly disgusting to Wang Ye.

"fine."

Wang Ye gave Manekin a deep look, then forcefully pulled his arm away from the other's embrace, feeling the chilling death stare on his back.

"I hope this military exercise won't last long and that you'll soon achieve your goals."

Despite Wang Ye's sincere blessings, Manekin's eyes twitched.

Then, just as Manekin was about to grit his teeth and continue to disgust each other, Wang Ye's special confidential communication device started beeping urgently.

As a fellow elite soldier, Manekin naturally knew how deadly such urgent communications, regardless of the occasion or time, could be.

Releasing his grip, Manekin noticed Wang Ye's flushed face as he looked at the communicator. He then turned and led his men back towards the airport departure gate.
