Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 68 As we all know, free is the most expensive (4000 words, please read)
When Red left the command room, his fists were clenched tightly. But everything was still within his expectations. Gerard Garcia didn't come up with any new tricks, he was just stalling for time.

However, Red and Angie, who had just left the command room, met up with Frey and Mirialia, and were soon taken to an office to activate their permissions. Here, Red met another acquaintance.

Ikosela Mikhailovich Romanova (original), a mature female officer in her early thirties, was born in Moscow. She was said to be a descendant of the nobility, widowed, childless, and her figure and appearance were no worse than Malu's. She was the ideal choice for many older young men in the base. She was a colonel and was the person in charge of personnel management at the base. She was directly under the Eurasian Federation Military Commission. Gerard Garcia had to give her three points when he met her.

This person is the one that Red is afraid of now. When he graduated from the recruit camp and was officially assigned to a unit, it was she who approved his application and brought him to the Artemis Fortress. Moreover, after knowing that Red's last relative had passed away, she also took good care of him during his rookie period.

So when Red saw his guide, he immediately saluted straight and said seriously:
"It's been a long time, Colonel Ecosella."

Icosela nodded to Reid with satisfaction, stood up and returned the greeting, then responded in a gentle tone:
"It's been a long time, Red. You have retired from the Eurasian Federation Army, so I won't address you by your military title. Just call me by a more personal name."

It was obvious that Icosela did not view Red from a military perspective, and from the fact that she did not address him by his military title, she clearly thought that Red's return to the Eurasian Federation Army was not a good idea.

So Red decisively took advantage of the situation and said with a smile
"Okay, Sister Ecosela, it's been a long time."

Then he took An Qi and introduced her

"Sister Ecosela, this is Princess Angelique. As for our relationship...she is an important person to me now."

After Reid finished speaking, he immediately said to Anqi
"Angie, you can just call Colonel Ecosela Sister Ecosela. She took good care of me when I was a new recruit."

Red's actions were just like introducing his girlfriend to his family. Angie blushed and didn't know what to say. Frey and Mirialia covered their mouths behind the two of them and ate the melon silently.

However, what Red didn't expect was that the system's identity arrangement played a role at this time. Icosela walked over directly, looked at An Qi with a smile, stretched out her hand, and said

"Princess Angelique, you don't have to be embarrassed. In principle, I knew you earlier than I knew Red. You may not remember, but we met at a dinner party in Paris about ten years ago.

But fate really plays tricks on people. The timid girl has now grown into a leader of a country, and is the strongest woman. "

When Ecosela mentioned the strongest woman, she was obviously teasing Angie, but it also represented a kind of closeness, indicating that this was a private occasion.

When An Qi heard this, she said that although she didn't feel it, she was inexplicably less embarrassed. So she returned to her normal posture, still blushing as she shook hands with him.
"Sister Ecosela... it's nice to see you again."

Ecosela nodded, shook hands, smiled, and got down to business.

"Okay, Red, stop being polite and just sit anywhere. The commander has given you B-level permissions, which means you can enter any place except the data center.

But I personally suggest that you guys better not go to sensitive places. Here are your ID cards, keep them.”

After saying that, Ecosela took out four temporary ID cards.

Reid was not polite and took the ID card and divided it with me. Then he said seriously:
"We have received the ID card, but Sister Icosela, I would like to remind you personally to find someone to check the emergency escape passage and escape ship of the fortress. These two places were originally maintained very carelessly, but now it is better to check them carefully. At least make sure the roads are unobstructed and the fuel supply is full."

After Reid said this, Icosela's expression became serious and he asked directly

"Red, do you mean that Fortress Artemis will be breached this time?"

Reid nodded directly and said bluntly

"Yes, this is my personal judgment. Artemis Fortress has been a safe fortress for too long. But in fact, ZAFT has never used its main force to attack the fortress. They were just small-scale attacks by patrol teams.

But this time it's different. The East Asian Republic's new MS has put ZAFT under considerable pressure. They will never let go of the Atlantic Federation's new ships and new machines, and will certainly do their best to crush the machines in their cradle.

Moreover, ZAFT has a new type of MS that was snatched from the Atlantic Federation. One of them has a mirage system that can make it invisible visually and can also block all detection methods such as infrared and thermal energy. It is the nemesis of Artemis Fortress.

Now that Gerard Garcia is still thinking about paving the way for his career by fighting with the Atlantic Federation, you can see how relaxed the fortress is. Anyway, just in case, Sister Ecosela, it won't hurt for you to check it out."

After listening to Reid's analysis, Icosela's expression became more serious. She asked directly
"ZAFT has this type of machine? Red, why didn't you tell me earlier? Have you reported this to the commander?"

In response to this question, Reid spread his hands and said
"Not hitting that idiot commander is the greatest patience I can show. Sister Ecosela, do you expect me to provide him with information? If I didn't think there are many friends in the fortress and I didn't want them to be buried with Gerard Garcia, I would have concealed this information."

Faced with the petty Red, Icosela was helpless. After all, what Gerard Garcia did before was indeed not decent. And Red finally revealed the information to him. So he picked up the communicator in his hand and dialed the security department's communication in front of everyone.
"Security Department, this is Ikosela Mikhailovich Romanova. Let Major Bidaluf answer the call..."

Icosela synchronized Red's information with Bidaluf, and Bidaluf naturally knew what to do afterwards.

In fact, this is also the effect that Red wants. The light wave defense belt of the Artemis Fortress cannot be turned on all the time. The energy consumption of this thing is not low, even if the energy is provided directly by the fortress.

Therefore, Major Bidaluf had only one way to stop the invasion of Thunder, that is to send a large number of guards to carry out saturation patrols in various ships. As long as the patrol density is high enough, it will be difficult for Thunder to sneak in. After all, Thunder only has 80 minutes to open the Mirage system, and there is still a physical collision volume.

In addition, they had to slowly float over from outside the fortress's line of sight, so the time available for infiltration was very short.

Even if Xunlei really sneaked in, when he fired the first shot, he would immediately face dozens of times more enemies. Even if it was just Mobius, a round of concentrated fire would kill him. ZAFT would not be unable to deduce this.

However, Red was not worried that the Thunderbolt would not be able to enter the fortress after his reminder. If ZAFT was so easy to deal with, the Earth Alliance would have won long ago. The restraint of the Mirage System on the light wave defense belt was there. As long as they carefully thought about the strategy, they would always be able to catch the blind spot.

At this point, Red can say that he has done his best. After all, I have warned you that there is an invisible machine that will launch a sneak attack, but even so, your fortress was breached. It can't be blamed on himself except that it reflects the commander's incompetence.

Of course, if the Cruze team outside is really in trouble, Red still has the last option of taking advantage of the saturation patrol outside, which will inevitably lead to the emptiness inside, and taking the Archangel away. After reminding Major Bidaluf, Icosela glared at Red and taught him
"Red, don't let your feud with Gerard Garcia hurt your comrades here. Next time, tell us this kind of key information earlier."

Reid spread his hands and looked unconcerned, skipping the topic and saying
"Got it, Sister Icosela. If you have time next time, please accompany Angie and the others for a walk. Take them to the place in the base that sells women's products. I need to be free for a while."

Icosela just rolled his eyes at Reid's request and reminded him again.

"No problem. Accompanying Princess Angelique is within my job scope. But you should be careful in your actions. After all, Gerard Garcia is still the commander of this fortress. It will be very troublesome if he catches us."

Red naturally knew that he couldn't force Gerard Garcia to fall into the trap by force, he had to dig a trap for him to fall into.

So Red took the initiative to hand over the card that contained some of his private money to Angie to use, and then left.

Calculating the time, the three people on the Archangel should have been under house arrest. Gerard Garcia will go inside the Archangel to see how the relevant systems have been cracked. It's about time for him to go back to the Archangel to fool him.

Red didn't need anyone to lead the way in Artemis Fortress. All the way back to the Archangel, people who knew Red would greet him warmly. Even those who didn't know him would not stop him when they saw the temporary pass hanging on his chest.

So Red successfully blocked Gerard Garcia and his henchman in the hangar of the Archangel. The two were watching the Green Astray Gundam being assembled from afar, and the trap that Red had set had taken effect.

However, since it involved the New Misrchi Republic, Gerard Garcia was not able to get close to see it. After all, the natives were not afraid of power. Before Red left, he said that no one was allowed to approach. Even though Gerard Garcia said he was the commander of the fortress, he was still stopped.

However, seeing Gerard Garcia's envious look, Red decided to give him a little sweetness first. He walked straight to him and said with a strange smile
"Commander Garcia, you don't have to be so impatient. It's only been a short while, and you want to visit the Archangel?"

Gerard Garcia actually knew that Red must be dissatisfied with him, but some things were tacitly understood, so he still smiled and said

"Of course. Let's not talk about the new ships of the Atlantic Federation for now. I will definitely come to see your newly developed MS, Red. After all, this is a lesson. If I hadn't made the mistake of lending you to the Atlantic Federation, these mobile suits would have belonged to the Eurasian Federation now. I must face my mistake."

Gerard Garcia was still showing his grief at this time, and Red was a little speechless. In order to avoid being disgusted, Red said directly

"Okay, Commander Garcia. If I had never left Artemis Fortress, according to the system of the Eurasian Federation Army, I would never have been in charge of developing the machine. We don't need to worry about this anymore.

Don't just stand there and look at it. Come on, I'll take you to see the assembled machine up close."

After saying that, Red led the way in front of Gerard Garcia's slightly surprised look.

Gerard Garcia followed happily, and then looked at the Green Astray Gundam, whose torso and lower body had been assembled, and said with emotion:
"Is this the new model you designed, Reid? It was designed with lightweight in mind, right?"

Red looked at Gerard Garcia in surprise. He didn't expect that he knew something about MS, so he replied:
"This machine is a lightweight machine. But I didn't design it. It was a souvenir I picked up in Heliopolis. It wasn't even developed by the Atlantic Federation. I ordered it to be assembled now because I have time and the fortress can provide enough parts."

When Gerard Garcia heard this, he immediately understood what Red was hinting at. This machine was developed privately by Orb and could be traded.

Gerard Garcia's eyes lit up, and he said happily

"Oh, so it's just a found machine, interesting. Red, you can use any parts of the fortress. How about giving me a copy of the information after you assemble this machine?"

Red glanced at Gerard Garcia and replied calmly
"Oh? There's really no need for me to keep the information about this machine secret. I just found it. But, Commander Garcia, are you planning to take it for free?"

Gerard Garcia was unusually straightforward at this time and replied

"For free? I'm the commander of the Artemis Fortress. How can I get it for free? Red, tell me the conditions. I can even give you the position of commander right now."

Gerard Garcia was not joking at this time. If Red wanted to be the commander of Artemis Fortress, he would immediately give up his position. Because this would mean that Red would rejoin the Eurasian Federation, and he would at least be promoted one level after returning home. It would be better not to have the position of commander of Artemis Fortress.

But Red would not be fooled. He just stared at Gerard Garcia's follower for a few seconds.

Gerard Garcia understood what he meant and drove the man away.

Red then whispered to Gerard Garcia
"It's actually possible to get it for free. To be precise, Commander Garcia, you don't have to pay anything. You should be able to get the data of the Archangel easily. Put this data on the hard drive of the fortress server and give me a copy.

Also, I like those two female officers of the Atlantic Federation Army. How about giving me a favor tonight?"

Reid's words made Gerard Garcia laugh even more happily. The data of the Archangel was nothing. After all, although this ship was powerful, it was not impossible for the Eurasian Federation to build it. It was just a matter of cost. So he didn't pay much attention to the data of the Archangel.

Gerard Garcia didn't know that the information of the five Gs was hidden in the database of the Archangel. So he had no reason to refuse such a thing of opening the pockets of others in exchange for his own interests.

As for Red wanting the two Atlantic Federation female officers, that was even less of a problem. I was just afraid that Red was a person without any desires. Wanting beautiful women? Is that a problem? I'll help you first. I can find an opportunity to use this to alienate the relationship between Red and Princess Angelique so that he can return home. So I agreed immediately.

"These are all small matters. I will prepare them for you before tonight. However, Red, as your former leader, I advise you to find a way to deal with those two female officers. If not, I can help you. And if you like beautiful women, the Eurasian Federation can give you a few more. Don't worry, I will help you keep it a secret from Princess Angelique."

As soon as Red heard this, he knew that Gerard Garcia had taken the bait. Free things are the most expensive. He had to make him realize this clearly this time. So he smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, and directly told the native Green Astray Gundam to ask the technicians of Artemis Fortress to help install it. Then he turned around and left the hangar.
