Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

Chapter 208 Gilbert Durandal

The City of Spring, as a paradise that has not been affected by the war, the people here are always so slow to feel the war. Except for some small-scale panic in the few hours when the news of Patrick's death came, the Spring Capital was in a peaceful atmosphere most of the time.

"Speaker, this is the pulse pilot's information. Zhen-Asuka has passed the test and is ready to arrange for him to undergo targeted training on the Pulse Gundam next week."

"This kind of professional affairs can be handled by your professional affairs officer. I am just a layman in the military. If I rashly intervene in military affairs, I will be laughed at."

Gilbert Durandal, as the successor of Irene Kanaba, faced the riots in Armory City as soon as he took office, which also made him slightly difficult in the first few months, but later he relied on With a beautiful 'risk transfer' and 'Lux Klein' personally taking the stand, Durandal gradually stabilized the situation. Until now, no one can shake his throne as speaker.

"Speaker, you are too self-effacing. Zhen Feiniao is a talent discovered by your unique vision. The pilots we originally arranged could not compare with Feiniao in many achievements, which proves that the Speaker is our PLANT benchmark in selecting and nurturing talents. "

"Flattery is not popular in the Council, so don't use this kind of flattery next time." Although he was scolding, Durandal only said it with a smile, so not only did others not feel oppressed, but they even felt a little more cordial. , "By the way, the body of the flying bird mother."

"It has been transferred to ZAFT's exclusive hospital. However, Ms. Asuka's old injury is more troublesome. The initial diagnosis is that it was the sequelae left by not receiving timely treatment. As a result, many ZAFT prostheses are not suitable for that woman."

"Let the R\u0026D department think of another way. In any case, flying birds will be an important combat force for our army in the future. If we can't even settle the families of the soldiers, then how can we expect others to fight for us on the front line?"

Unlike before when he spoke with a smile, Durandal visibly restrained his expression when talking about this issue. This invisible pressure also made the affairs officer opposite feel that the speaker himself attached great importance to this matter.

"By the way, how's Miss Lux doing lately?"

"Oh~ She has a concert this afternoon, and it is said that she will bring a song that has never been released before. Although Diamond Crack sounds good, it always feels that it does not match the atmosphere of our PLANT at the moment. I don't know what will happen today. What kind of style will the new song be like~"

"I'll give you a leave this afternoon and go to the concert. If the new song is good, remember to bring me a copy. I'm a little curious after you told me about it."

"Thank you Speaker!"

"Go ahead and call Eric Ryder over for me."

After watching the young soldier leave, Durandal looked at Zhen Asuka's file on the table and pondered for a while, then put it away in his drawer, and at the same time opened another copy of 'Lux-K' from the computer. "Rheinland Dynamic Report - Confidential" document, after quickly scanning the contents with pale yellow eyes, his eyes finally stopped at "After observation, Miss Lux and Aslan did not have any intimate behavior in any sense."

"Don't like Aslan? Is it because there was someone you liked before?"

Durandal once again called up the investigation report of the Armory City riot, and selected the 'Lax Klein Attack Investigation', and then turned to the page of 'Captain Qasim's Oral Record'.

"Is it Casper from HCLI? His good feelings after saving his life, or... But what if it's Orb?"

Rhythmic knocking on the door interrupted Durandal's contemplation, and Eric Ryder, nicknamed 'Gentleman' in the ZAFT army, came to the Speaker's office.

"Speaker, are you looking for me?"

"Although the transfer order will be issued to you by ZAFT later, I think it is necessary to inform you in advance to prepare, and then you will be sent to Earth to replace Leon."

"Dense forest area? Did something happen to Leon and Michal?"

"There are no problems with Michal's hospital for the time being. It is a humanitarian hospital after all. No matter how much we don't like him, we won't attack the hospital. However, Leon may be in some trouble. He was transferred back to protect him."

"What happened?"

"Because you are going to take over Leon's military affairs, it doesn't hurt to inform you in advance. A frontline base in East Asia has been attacked. Now witnesses have identified that the attacker was driving a Zaku Warrior of our army,"

"Zagu? But isn't Zagu and we ourselves still gradually changing our clothes? How could it be?"

"Eric, your question really makes me, the Speaker, a little embarrassed. Our PLANT's security has always been like a fishing net. It seems airtight but in fact there are loopholes everywhere. Starting from the Freedom Gundam, Warrior Gundam, Covenant Gundam, We lost three of the six nuclear-powered aircraft, so the review team will be very passive this time, which is why you were asked to replace Leon. His character is too easy to be plotted."

"I understand. I will leave for Earth as soon as the order comes."

"There is one more thing you need to know. Leaving aside the troops in East Asia, an Orb veteran was killed in this attack. Barry He, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard a little bit, it's said that he is a genius driver who can drive an M1 in three months with the ability of a natural person, but how could he do that?"

"According to our intelligence, he is also a good friend of the crimson cub, or it would be more appropriate to say he is a teacher."

"Crimson. He is not serving a sentence in Orb."

Eric realized in the middle of his words that he was too naive. Even Orb's own citizens were shouting for Siegfried to be released early every day, and they should go and do whatever they wanted with their princess. As a commander, he actually thought The other party will stay in jail in his own country. It seems that the peace during this period has made him paralyzed and careless.

"I won't remind you about the bloody Orb anymore. If he goes to East Asia, you can cooperate with him to find the real murderer within a certain limit."

"yes!"

Watching Eric leave, Durandal tapped his fingers on the desktop rhythmically. After a while, he first retrieved a driver file and a video file with only an X codename from the computer.

"The Mask of Silence and the Lion of Asgha"

After tapping the delete button on the driver's file but taking the video file back, Durandal connected to the outside line again, "Confirm Rika Sita's itinerary. If she happens to be in the Spring Capital now, ask her to arrive in the afternoon. I'll come here once, and by the way, I'll assign Shiho Haneves as the test pilot of the Savior Gundam, and let her go to Orb alone for a test flight."

After hanging up the phone, an obscure light flashed in Durandal's fox-like eyes. He looked at the position of the chess board and seemed to mutter to himself in the direction of the deserted people. “If you hadn’t held back in Heliopolis, the situation would have been completely different now, Law.

After the update, no one left a message and I felt so sad.
