Chapter Forty-Nine: Cause, Burning

After Luo brought the Strike Gundam back to Gnaku, he hurriedly pulled Kira and Madock, who were a little stunned, around him, and told the two of them some of his knowledge and perceptions of this body, and put forward some ideas for the body.

Some of Luo's mentions made Maddock nod his head constantly, expressing his full approval of these mentions, and Kira also added that he hoped that his body could make some small changes in some way, such as the flexibility of turning around, and the three of them gathered in front of a fixed panel of Gnaku, and began to discuss the details of the improvement.

Xiao Ran stayed by the three of them and didn't leave, but he didn't interject when Luo, Kira, and Maddock spoke, just stood silently on the side.

At this time, Malu, Baki Lulu and Mu also gathered together, each sitting on a chair in the captain's room, except for Mu's thoughtful expression, the other two looked a little worried and hurried.

Baki Lulu looked at the two of them without any meaning to speak, and suddenly stood up and saluted Marliu, and said loudly: "Captain, I don't understand why in order to agree to Major Xiao Ran's unreasonable request, it is okay to take the Archangel for a visit, why would he let a waste dealer come to test the Strike Gundam, doesn't he know that those people not only buy waste, but also sell intelligence, in case the information of the Strike Gundam is leaked, how can we explain to the commanders, I immediately charged myself with leaking our army's military secrets, and immediately arrested Major Xiao Ran and the waste merchant named Luo. ”

Before Malu could speak, Mu looked at Bucky Lulu with a smile: "Are you really sure you want to do this?" Arrest them? Do you know the consequences? ”

Bucky Lulu was silent for a moment, but still replied, "The most serious consequence is that the information on the Gundam and the Archangel is leaked. ”

"Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, I don't think things are as simple as you say." Mu shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said: "I think Xiao Ran is right, the four bodies of the G series have been obtained by Zaft, and the data leakage has already been leaked, what is more thorough than directly snatching the body for research and leakage?" ”

"Also, if you arrest the two of them, have you ever thought that Xiao Ran might resist? If he was hurt in the process of resisting, what would Kira think, would he still wholeheartedly want to protect the Archangel to Alaska? Don't you see how heavy Xiao Ran is in Kira's heart? It can be said that on this ship, Kira doesn't listen to anyone's orders, and we don't have any way, except Xiao Ran, every time Xiao Ran says a word, Kira will take it to heart, if Xiao Ran encourages Kira to switch to Zaft when he goes out with the last body, can you afford this consequence? ”

"What's more, I think I really have to arrest them, Xiao Ran and that waste dealer are not so easy to be arrested, as far as I know, the waste dealer's people are generally stored in a team structure, do you think that waste dealer will have no companions here? It's hard to arrest them, and if they get away with it, or if they get on the MS, I'm afraid it's not us who arrest them, but they who arrest us. ”

"But we can't let them mess around like this." Bucky Lulu gritted her teeth and said unwillingly.

"The current situation is that they want to mess around, and we can't do anything about it." Mu spread his hands at Bucky Lulu and said, "What's more, you really want to have that series of problems after Xiao Ran was arrested by us?" Or is it that nothing happened to arrest him, but that he should be brought before a military tribunal? Natal, I'm sure you don't want to see such a scene, Xiao Ran has helped us so much after all, and I still have to give a little bit of trust. ”

Bucky Lulu was silent, she asked herself if she was really willing to arrest Xiao Ran, recalling the conversations with Xiao Ran again and again, quarrels again and again, and Xiao Ran's eloquent conversations again and again, thinking of Xiao Ran's confidence and resourcefulness, Bucky Lulu already had the answer in her heart, but she grew up in a military family since she was a child, but the kind of responsibility and honor that she treats soldiers is not so easy to change, Bucky Lulu finally turned her attention to Maliu, hoping to let Maliu make this decision.

Maliu understood the meaning in Bucky Lulu's eyes, and Maliu, who was also a woman, also saw the reluctance and hesitation in Bucky Lulu's heart, and sighed slightly Maliu said: "Major Mu is right, it is impossible to arrest Xiao Ran, Kira's aspect is not to talk about it for the time being, another reason is because he has too much influence on the Archangel now, I don't know if you haven't found it, in addition to his students, including those on the bridge, they admire him very much, and those in the preparation class have always felt that they owe him a favor, If you want to catch him, it will definitely make the personnel of the Archangel mentally unstable, and it is easy to have problems. ”

"The second reason, although Xiao Ran did join the Earth Army, and it is not wrong to be deployed on the Archangel, but you don't forget that he really belongs, it is a special force, don't you know that the special force has super independence? Their autonomy is extremely great, except for their direct subordinates to explain to their superiors, as long as there is no threat to the Earth Army, no one can control anyone else, and where is his direct commander? He had already been captured by Zaft, and for what he had done today, even if he really had to go to a court-martial, he would not have been judged at all. ”

Saying this, Malu sighed again and said softly: "And do you know, he put his life in front of me, and is willing to use his life to vouch for the character of his friend, and to be able to make him say such things, I believe that Luo should also be a person worthy of trust." ”

Bucky Lulu was silent, she may not have thought of these before, but she was also very helpless after Maliu said it, indeed as Maliu said, they can't manage the people of the secret service at all, and the only person who can manage it can't manage it at all now, unless the Archangel arrives in Alaska and transfers Xiao Ran to another commander's hand, but now the Archangel is still in the desert, how far away from Alaska, this may not be there.

If you really want to talk about it, Xiao Ran really wants to suppress Maliu with the power of the secret service, and in some cases, Malu really has to listen to him.

"Alright, Bucky Lulu." Ma Liu propped his hands on his chin and made his final decision: "Today's incident is reported to the whole ship, everyone should have not happened, because there is an irremediable problem in the Strike Gundam, so Major Xiao Ran luckily contacted a friend to come to check on the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, and repair the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, understand?" ”

"Yes." Bucky Lulu stood up straight and replied loudly, although there was a little unwillingness in her heart, but more of a relaxation and happiness, the feeling of relief made her suddenly feel that in fact, this kind of violation was not so difficult to accept.

"That's all it can be." Mu nodded, and suddenly thought of something and asked Marliu, "Didn't Xiao Ran tell you, why did he let that Luo visit the Archangel and test the Strike Gundam?" ”

"No, but I think Xiao Ran has been preparing something." Ma Liu shook his head and said softly: "It's not difficult to guess if you really want to say it, he may be preparing a way back for us, from what he said before, it should also be seen that he has no trust in the top of the Earth Army, and now he has landed in such an embarrassing and dangerous place, just like he said, it is not impossible for us to be treated as outcasts." ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of Ma Liu, and it is also Ma Liu, who has already been tempted by Xiao Ran, and he has basically guessed what Xiao Ran thinks in his heart, except for Xiao Ran's hope that Luo will prepare the body for him, this matter is just a sudden coincidence.

"Hehe, then he will continue to prepare like this until the day when we really become outcasts, maybe he has already figured out where our back road is, really, has he thought so far, oops, I don't know what is growing in his head, it's true." Mu patted his head and stood up, laughed self-deprecatingly, and left the captain's room as he spoke.

Looking at Mu's departing back, Malu only shook his head and then looked at Bucky Lulu: "Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, since you are so worried about that waste merchant, then you should worry more about this time and see what they are doing." ”

"Yes." Bucky Lulu nodded and left, but when she really understood what Luo was doing, Bucky Lulu finally didn't have the heart to target, because a few days later, the almost completely new Strike Gundam once again showed its stunned strength under Kira's pilot.

In the early hours of the morning, almost all the personnel on the Archangel who were not on duty ran to the base of the Dawn Desert, singing and dancing with the people in the base to relax themselves, drinking wine and bragging, almost forgetting the situation they were in.

But just when everyone was happy, the staff on duty on the Archangel also discovered an inexplicable situation, as can be seen from the display screen, in a place far away from here, there was a red light that should not appear at all, and when Dalida looked carefully, he was stunned to find that the place that originally belonged to the city was burning with raging fire at this time.

Soon, the news reached the ears of the Archangel and everyone in the Dawn Desert, and the people of the Dawn Desert immediately prepared their arms after being shocked and unenforceable, and began to march towards the burning city, Kira and Mu also received orders to cooperate with the actions of the Dawn Desert, and soon drove the Strike Gundam and the Sky Fighter in that direction.

After Luo saw the picture in the display screen, he also opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and shouted at Xiao Ran, and then left the Archangel: "How can you just watch the city burn like this, I will borrow a car." ”

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xiao Ran also turned his head to the remaining Airlord, shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the Skylord, shouting, "Sergeant Maddock!" I'm going to fly the Airmaster! ”

Sergeant Maddock laughed: "I have been ready for you a long time ago, I know that you will not be able to help it." ”
