Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 497: Warning to Aslan

It is a fact that the PLANT Supreme Council has decided to transfer Aslan back to the armory of the L4 colony satellite cluster, but it will take time for the order to be sent from PLANT to Earth and for Aslan and Harry Zagnus to take over.

So Aslan would not leave the Earth immediately after receiving the order.

Durandal knows that more haste makes waste. Driving Aslan out of the earth in a hurry at this time will only make others suspicious and wary.

There are not only Aslan here, but also Red. After all, everyone knows that Red and Aslan have a good relationship.

As for Red, of course he had to meet Aslan again before he left the Earth. It would be better to remind him of some things so that he would be careful and not to have any accidents on the L4 colony satellite.

But before going to find Aslan, Red first went to find a guy who was enjoying himself in the New Misluchi Kingdom.

Lunamaria Hawke, who was sent here from the East Asian Republic, was covered in wounds and had several broken bones.

But after so long, her injuries have long since healed.

When she had just recovered from her injury, she applied to return home, but was kept on being delayed by Red's lack of response from ZAFT.

But as the army of the New Misluchi Kingdom began to rest due to the end of the war, and after this kid Zhen returned to the country, Lunamaria Hawke began to enjoy herself here and didn't want to leave.

Stella is still under house arrest, so if you really want to see her you can only go to the palace.

But it is very difficult for an outsider to enter the palace. Basically, you can only take a ride with Mayu, and you can't do that all the time.

So naturally, the only thing I can do with the remaining time is to look for my friend Lunamaria.

Of course, Red told her about Lunamaria's existence and gave her a mission, saying that she was from ZAFT after all, and she had to have a local watching her when she was active in the New Mischi Kingdom.

Without giving it any thought, he gladly accepted the "guarding" mission and began to be inseparable from Lunamaria.

All I can say is that Red was asking Zhen to look after Lunamaria, but he actually took advantage of his position to take Lunamaria on a domestic tour, and they would also go on adventures in the desert or uninhabited islands from time to time.

In other words, Red didn't allow Lunamaria to leave Australia, otherwise he would have taken her to North America.

Of course, Red wouldn't really give the caretaking mission to Shin alone. Ever since the two of them started traveling, Red sent a large number of intelligence personnel to follow them, trying to fish and see if he could hook out a few PLANT intelligence personnel who intended to contact Lunamaria.

The result was that Red came up empty-handed this time.

I don’t know if it’s because Lunamaria is too unknown and the PLANT intelligence officers didn’t recognize her when she walked on the street, or if they just didn’t want to contact her.

Anyway, we didn't catch any useful PLANT intelligence personnel along the way, but we did catch a lot of black tour guides who randomly stuffed small pieces of paper into people's pockets.

And as time went by, Shin and Lunamaria really immersed themselves in the trip like a young couple.

For example, if Red wants to find Lunamaria now, he has to go to the desert because the two of them went to see wild bilbies.

However, with the help of intelligence personnel, Red successfully found the two people in a local small hotel in the evening.

Red's sudden arrival surprised Shin and Lunamaria, but Red said very seriously

"Lieutenant Shin Asuka (promoted during the war), go and guard the gate. I have something to ask Miss Lunamaria."

When Zhenyi heard this, he immediately saluted and left the room, guarding the door.

It’s just that the soundproofing in this kind of ordinary hotel is very poor, and if you really prick up your ears you can roughly hear what is being said inside.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter if Red really hears what Lunamaria wants to say, it's not something too confidential.

After Shin left the room, Red looked at Lunamaria, who frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking about what Red wanted to do. Instead of talking about business first, he smiled and asked
"Ms. Lunamaria, have you been happy in the New Mislchi Kingdom during this period?"

Lunamaria didn't think too long about this question and answered honestly.

"I'm very happy. The people here live and work in peace and contentment. The public security is very good. There is no discrimination against adjusters. There is also beautiful natural scenery. I like it very much."

Reid nodded and continued with a smile.
"I'm glad you like it. However, Miss Lunamaria, your travel plans will be interrupted. I'm going to send you back to ZAFT."

When Lunamaria heard this, she immediately cried out in her heart that something was wrong. She thought that Red would not let her go back to ZAFT so easily, otherwise he would not have kept her under house arrest before.

Moreover, he was shot down in the war with the East Asian Republic, but when he woke up, he found himself in the New Mislchi Kingdom.

Lunamaria is not stupid. She knows that she must have been taken by Red from the East Asian Republic, and he must have some ulterior motive, but she doesn't know what it is.

So, Lunamaria asked cautiously at this time
"Reply to ZAFT? Did ZAFT finally respond?"

Reid just shook his head and said straight to the point
"Of course not. ZAFT has no idea you are in our country. As far as I know, you are still MIA in ZAFT.

I asked you to return to ZAFT this time because I want you to help me do something."

After hearing what Red said, Lunamaria only had the word "as expected" in her mind, but now she did not directly refuse, because she was at the mercy of others, and it was not a good idea to offend Red on the territory of the New Misluchi Kingdom.

So Lunamaria just emphasized
"If you want me to steal some military secrets, Chairman Red, I'm sorry I can't agree to that."

Red shook his head, saying that you were overthinking it. With your original position and status, what military secrets could you obtain? And believe it or not, I will directly disclose the information that you have been in the New Mislchi Kingdom for so long, and let you automatically commit treason.

Of course, Red didn't say this to attack Lunamaria, but just said calmly
"Ms. Lunamaria, you're overthinking it. I asked you to help me because I wanted you to save someone."

Upon hearing this, Lunamaria said that saving the man could still be discussed. After all, Red did save her life and did not abuse her. One life for another was fair.

So Lunamaria breathed a sigh of relief and asked
"I see. Who are we going to save? Are they your country's intelligence officers?"

But Red shook his head again and replied

"Not from my country, but from my personal friend, Aslan Zala, whom you know."

Lunamaria was horrified when she heard this and shouted
"Lord Athrun! He was captured by ZAFT? How is that possible!!"

Seeing Lunamaria's agility, Red quickly signaled her to calm down, and then explained:
"Don't get excited, Aslan has not been captured, he is just being transferred back to the Armory Colony Satellite Cluster from Earth.

However, I received news that someone will harm him on the way or over there. Rather than asking you to save people, it is better to ask you to help Aslan break out after being attacked.

And I will give you some little props, and someone will come to help you when the time comes."

After Reid said this, Lunamaria breathed a sigh of relief again. After calming herself down, she said righteously:
"If that's the case, I accept this mission. It's my duty to protect Lord Aslan from the attacks of the evil ones.

But, Chairman Red, you just said that I'm MIA in ZAFT, so how can I get back?"

In response to this question, Reid stood up and said

"Then naturally, come with me to meet Aslan. He hasn't stepped down yet, and his successor hasn't arrived on Earth yet. It's easy to quietly restore your identity.

And I have repaired the Impulse Gundam for you, so you can drive the new machine.

Come on, I'll take you to get your new machine."

After saying that, Red walked out of the room and said to Zhen at the door:
"Lieutenant Shin Asuka, your vacation is over. Report directly to the Archangel."

I really had no objection and immediately saluted and replied "yes".

However, Red saw that Shin was looking at Lunamaria, and Lunamaria was looking at Shin with a look of regret, so he said again
"You two hurry up and pack your bags. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Red was giving the two people time to say goodbye. After all, Lunamaria was in danger on this mission, and it was not small.

However, the two men did not keep Red waiting for long and came out after more than ten minutes.

Red then separated from Lunamaria and Shin.

Red and Lunamaria went directly to the military factory in Carpantaria City to pick up the repaired Impulse Gundam.

This Pulse Gundam was a gift from the East Asian Republic. When it was delivered, only the cockpit was left. The Minovsky particle nuclear furnace was dug out, and the computer inside also had records of data downloads.

However, with the idea of ​​recycling waste, Red still had the Impulse Gundam repaired, and asked the military factory to strengthen its structure, and even put some newly selected experimental equipment on it.

The repaired Impulse Gundam was named EX Impulse Gundam by the military factory. The main body is not much different from the Impulse Gundam. While retaining the core fighter system, the skeleton structure has been greatly strengthened.

In terms of armament, the backpack was replaced with the EX Phantom backpack, which is one of the experimental backpacks of the Ghost Jegan backpack. It has a cruising form and a high-speed maneuvering form that can be unfolded into an X-wing.

However, its armament was too simple and unremarkable, so the military did not like it. In the end, they only built a few experimental backpacks, which were then installed on the Impulse Gundam.

As for the engine, it is a piece of cake to make a Minovsky particle nuclear furnace with the same technology as PLANT. You can just transfer one over here.

Finally, the main armament beam rifle was changed because the New Mislchi Kingdom did not have a beam rifle with such a simple function. In the end, the Ghost Jegan's high-energy beam rifle with a bayonet was used.

Since the operation of this machine was not much different from that of the Impulse Gundam, Lunamaria saved the time of familiarizing herself with the machine and flew directly to the British Isles with Red that night.

After arriving in the British Isles, intelligence personnel in Africa also sent news, and Aslan agreed to a secret meeting.

So in the remaining building of the New Mislichi Kingdom Army in the Azores, Red brought Lunamaria and Aslan to meet again.

After the New Mislchi Kingdom's army left the island, ZAFT still did not send anyone to garrison here, so it became an uninhabited island again.

Before landing, the Juwayus Gundam Infinity circled the island several times and confirmed that there were no people and strange monitoring equipment before landing.

As for Aslan, he just drove out in broad daylight with Immortal Justice, and now he is still the commander-in-chief of the ZAFT army in Europe and Africa. Harry Zagnass has not yet arrived on Earth.

After landing, Aslan didn't exchange too much greetings with Red. Looking at the Impulse Gundam and Lunamaria next to Red, he asked helplessly.
"Red, you called me out secretly, didn't you want me to help you send Miss Lunamaria Hawke back to ZAFT?

So, has she been subjugated by you? Are you planning to put her into the ZAFT Earth Army as a spy?"

Red knew that although Aslan seemed to be joking now, if he uttered the word "yes" next, this meeting would immediately end in unpleasantness.

Aslan has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He will not help Red to plant spies in ZAFT just because of his friendship with Red.

So Red pretended to be sad and replied
"Aslan, your attitude really chills my heart.

Miss Lunamaria was brought back by me from the East Asian Republic. I also helped you repair the Impulse Gundam for ZAFT.

And Miss Lunamaria didn't betray ZAFT. I brought her here today so that you can cancel her MIA status.

But I'm not going to make her a spy, I'm going to transfer her directly to your side as a personal guard. I've received news that you won't be safe when you return to L4 Armory City. You'll definitely be assassinated. I just don't know where Durandal will do it."

Aslan was not surprised to hear from Red that he would be transferred, although few people in ZAFT in Europe and Africa knew about this news.

As for the fact that Durandal would send someone to assassinate him, Aslan instinctively didn't want to believe it, but since it was Red who said it, he dared not ignore it.

At this time, Lunamaria next to Red said what she heard? It was Speaker Durandal who wanted to assassinate Aslan? Was she involved in the political dispute of PLNAT?
It’s a pity that Lunamaria is now on the pirate ship. She has heard things that she shouldn’t have heard, and she can only go on to the dark side from now on.

However, Aslan was no longer bothered by Lunamaria's matter. Since Red had made her his personal guard, this person had basically nothing to do with a spy. After all, he was confident that no one could be a spy under his nose.

So Aslan asked emphatically

"Red, you said that Chancellor Durandal would assassinate me. Do you have any evidence?"

Reid just shook his head and said

“There is no evidence, I am just giving a warning and taking precautions.

You know, I hope you will be the main leader of PLANT in the future, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts.

I don't need to say anything about Speaker Durandal's targeting of you; you know it best.

I can only tell you that Durandal is planning a plan. I don’t know what the plan is, but it definitely requires that no one below can really jump out to oppose him. And you have the power to oppose him, so he wants to get rid of you as soon as possible.

Also, remember one thing, don't let your guard down when you return to Armory City, because Aofer Ram Tao and his gang can hypnotize people."
