Gundam SEED: Eastern Enlightenment

"What are these?"

"These are the students who came aboard Heliopolis."

"I have asked about your family's situation. Everyone is safe. You have done a great job in such a critical situation. I also want to thank you."

"Sir, time is running out." Colonel Hoffman, the adjutant next to him, reminded Halberton.

So Halberton gave everyone some encouragement and took Marlu and other main officers to the captain's room.

At Malu's instruction, Lin Chu followed.

Captain's room

"The disintegration of Heliopolis and the destruction of the advance team were all just for this ship. It's really..." The adjutant spoke first.

"But they saved the ship, which will definitely be the key to our victory."

"Alaska doesn't think so. If it weren't for that machine, they wouldn't be so kind as to reinforce our fleet." The adjutant shook his head.

"Hmph, how could they understand war in space? Captain Ramias understands my will very well. However, Captain Ramias, what is the attack of that machine? I remember that there seems to be no such thing in the plan? Is it the technology of the Aurora Society?"

When Malu heard Halberton ask this, he looked at Lin Chu, and Lin Chu nodded at Malu.

"Sir, regarding the duel, please take a look at this." Malu took out the white paper from the safe and handed it to Halberton.

"this is?"

Then Malu explained Lin Chu's matter to Halberton.

"Is this really the case?" Halberton began to flip through the book in disbelief, but he didn't quite understand the details. He looked at Malu, who should know something as he was a technician.

Malu nodded to indicate that it was true.

Halberton pondered for a while, then looked up and said to Lin Chu.

"So, you are from the East Asian Republic?"

"Yes, I am from the East Asian Republic."

"I see. No wonder the Dawn Society reacted like that. I didn't expect that my self-righteous Plan G would be like a sieve. Alas, is the ancient great power in the East awakening again? Then this war should be over soon." Halberton sighed.

"Eh? General, wait! I said I am from the East Asian Republic, but I didn't say I am from the East Asian Republic!" Erkang pointed to Lin Chu, and Halberton seemed to have misunderstood something.

"I know your concerns, but you don't have to worry so much. We are comrades in the Earth Union. The G-Project's aircraft is no longer confidential. I won't pursue your matter. On the contrary, I want to thank you for your willingness to use the most advanced technology to participate in the G-Project." Halberton shook his head to indicate that Lin Chu didn't need to explain.

After hearing Halberton's words, everyone present seemed to suddenly understand.

"Indeed, the East Asian Republic? That makes sense. Then Duel must be your test subject, right? No wonder Lieutenant Lin Chu, a natural person, can operate the machine so well." Malu nodded.

"Haha, it seems like I finally don't have to feel like a loser anymore. I always feel embarrassed to be outdone by a kid." Mu Ye said with a smile.

"Not only this thing, but also its duel performance and operating difficulty are much better than ours. Has the East Asian Republic already researched to this point? They are usually so low-key..."

"No, General! You really misunderstood. I am from the Archangel!"

"General, this thing was given to us voluntarily by Lieutenant Lin Chu." Malu said.

"It seems that you really regard us as your own people. Then I will make my own decision. The help of allies does not count as espionage. I understand. I now approve you to officially become a member of the Archangel. Don't worry.

With the thing you gave me, I can give an explanation to Alaska. I will also conceal the combat data of subsequent duels for you and say that they were independently developed by me. However, when facing the Alaska headquarters, you'd better not mention your identity. Some people have bad intentions.

You probably won't be reluctant to duel with this machine, haha." Halbottom patted Lin Chu, smiling and signaling him not to be nervous.

..., Lin Chu looked at Halberdon who believed it without a doubt and didn't want to explain anymore. Besides, with so many unreasonable things, he could only find someone to take the blame, so he could only put it on the East Asian Republic.

"Of course, Plan G is the general's plan, and the duel is naturally the general's."

Anyway, it’s useless for you to duel even if you dismantle it. I drive the Gundam relying on my own hard work and talent.

"From today on, only a few of us should know about this matter, okay, Deputy Minister George? After all, this guy saved you once." Halberton looked at George, and the expression on his face changed, becoming full of oppression.

"This? But the East Asian Republic is clearly going to rise again..."

"No matter how high they rise, they are still our own people, aren't they?"

"Okay, to thank this guy for saving my life, I will keep it a secret." Blue Cosmos was originally mainly targeting adjusters. George was not a very high-level official. In addition, Halberton's words that the East Asian Republic was also a natural person, and Lin Chu's life-saving grace, made George decide to help keep it a secret.

"So, what should we do with this young Adjuster?" Halberdon's adjutant took out photos of Strike and Kira.

"I brought this young man on board so that I could unleash the combat power of the Strike Gundam and protect the Archangel to return home safely. I promised him that I would let him go home after the Archangel arrived safely." Lin Chu spoke first.

"How can we do this? He is an Adjuster! Isn't he the first generation Adjuster? We can control his parents. With such powerful fighting power, we can't just let him go back like this.

This is a machine that even Mu.La.Vlad cannot operate, and he is just a student but he is already so strong. "Secretary George objected directly.

Although Kira did not fight throughout the whole battle and show strong fighting ability like before, he was able to fight against many enemies alone when fighting against Cruze in front of Artemis and when joining the advance team. George didn't know that Aslan let him go, but he felt that Kira was also a strong fighter and could not be let go like this.

"But he was only willing to drive the Strike Force against his compatriots to protect his friends. He had no other choice. If we really force him to work for the Earth Alliance, it may not be that easy." said Malu.

Seeing that Baki Lulu was about to say something, Lin Chu grabbed her hand and signaled her not to say it. Baki Lulu's idea was the same as George's. If she said it, she would be scolded by Halberton, and she would only be seen as agreeing with George's statement.

Maybe Halberdun will not die here together with the Kamov as before. In this case, it will be bad for Bugylulu to have left a bad impression on Halberdun, which will not be good for her in the future.

Baki Lulu didn't really continue speaking, but she felt Lin Chu's hand holding hers and her face turned a little red.

Sure enough, the next second, Brigadier General Halberton had an argument with Under-Secretary George.

"What nonsense! What use are soldiers like this?"

"How can it be useless! As long as we control his parents, how can he resist? He is the Adjuster and he has seen G's secret. If we let him go back, he will become a sword to slaughter us!" Deputy Minister George was very direct when he talked about the Adjuster and confronted Halbert head-on.

"There is no secret about Plan G! I will not use such despicable means as you politicians!"

"Foolish! As long as we can win, what does it matter if we are mean or not? What right does the Adjuster have to negotiate with us?"

..., several people watched Old Chrysanthemum and Halberton quarreling, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"In short, except for those civilians who are not involved in military secrets, they can leave on the shuttle. Those students are not allowed to leave! They must return to Alaska with the Archangel and wait for the decision of the headquarters!

I will keep this kid's affairs secret, but even if you tell me about the young adjuster, it won't count! Otherwise, even if you are Halberton, you will still be investigated by the headquarters if you let him escape!" Old Chrysanthemum made a direct conclusion.

"You despicable guy! The war won't change because of him. He is just a civilian student."

"What civilian? He is an adjuster! He must not leave the Archangel and must go back to wait for the headquarters' decision! In order to prevent you from acting on your own, I will follow you from now on.

Colonel Hoffman, if you dare to act on your own, don't blame me for being rude."

Old Chrysanthemum is very strong, just like the eunuch who supervised the army in the Ming Dynasty.

The adjutant asked why I had to be warned specifically, as I was the one being blamed.

Halberton and George stared at each other.

Lin Chu didn't expect that Old Chrysanthemum was so helpful. Without Frey, with her father, Kira could not leave the Archangel for the time being.

But if we keep Kira like this, will Kira really drive the Raider and go to find Athrun?

The most important thing now is whether the Archangel can successfully follow the Eighth Fleet and descend directly back to Alaska?

Looking at the extent of the world's corrections, Kira will have to stay on the Archangel for the time being.

However, the Eighth Fleet has grown so much in size and looks powerful. Will Cruze be able to confront it head-on?
