Li Boyong's tombstone did not fall, but Shihe landed on the earth with the Minerva.
From the attack on Armory No. 1 on the day of the launching ceremony, to the pursuit of Li Boyong's troops, to the support of Julius's crushing operation, the continuous battles plus the penetration into the atmosphere and the shelling in the atmosphere, it can be said that Minerva's hull It has reached the point where it cannot safely sail without repairs.
As the ship that transported its Prime Minister back to the country, the Orb government showed great sincerity and expressed its willingness to let the extremely powerful Dawn Society assist in the maintenance of the ship.
Of course, Captain Curatis of the Minerva would not be unaware of the spying intention contained in this.
But the current situation is that the Minerva is no longer able to return to the Carpantaria base smoothly alone. After Julius fell, the radio wave condition was extremely poor and it was impossible to successfully contact the army headquarters. Curatis The captain had no choice but to arbitrarily agree to Dawn Society's maintenance of the Minerva.
The reason why she made such a politically risky decision was because her judgment of the situation was not optimistic.
After all, it was ZAFT's machine that pushed Julius down. This was an indisputable fact. As for the troops present who were also highly suspected of being part of the Earth Army, it was inevitable that the coalition government would know the truth.
Now the coalition government is busy dealing with the post-disaster situation, but it is difficult to say what kind of response it will make when it recovers.
The current trend of the Orb government is obviously gradually shifting towards the Atlantic Federation, and it is also unknown how long the friendship of transporting the Prime Minister back to the country will play a role.
However, even if the maintenance of the hull is agreed to, not all parts of the ship can be entered and exited by Shuguang Club staff at will.
It is necessary to repair the hull to the best possible condition, but also does not want Dawn Society to pry too much into the Minerva's technical parameters.
In order to discuss a suitable maintenance plan with the Shuguang Society, Captain Kuratis also had a headache, and then he hired some technicians to recruit young men.
Among them, Shihe, who used to be a technician, was included.
————
Dawn Society, the secret dock where the Archangel was once docked, is now docked with ZAFT's latest battleship.
To a certain extent, the manager of Shuguang Club is quite evil.
The flash of electric welding flickered on the Minerva's hull from time to time, and the staff of Shuguang Society were busy repairing the Minerva.
"Sister Shihe, let's take the first step."
Lunamaria, who was dressed in casual clothes, took her sister to greet Shihe, who was supervising the work on site.
"Be careful when you go out."
Shihe nodded with a smile, gave some instructions, and watched Sister Luna leave the dock where the Minerva was parked.
Continuing to inspect the work, Shihe inadvertently turned his eyes to Captain Kuratis on the workbench aside. The youngest female captain in the ZAFT army was having a chat with a very gentle and elegant Shuguang Club member. The female section chief was chatting with her, looking like she was enjoying the conversation.
This discovery made Shihe a little surprised. After all, she knew something about Captain Kuratis and knew that he was extremely cautious in personal relationships due to some special reasons.
Judging from the harmonious nature of the conversation, it was obvious that it was not about work. It was hard to imagine that she would have such a good time chatting with someone she met for the first time.
What is the name of that female section chief?
By the way, it seems to be Maria Bernas.
It gives people a strange feeling. She is obviously a gentle and gentle female section chief of the company, but her every move has a faint aura similar to that of Captain Kuratis.
By the way, when talking about this, Shihe thought of another female employee of Shuguang Club who had the same aura.
That was Li Nalu, the deputy section chief of the shipbuilding department B who was not far away from him and was responsible for handing over the work to him.
She has short black hair and powerful purple eyes. When working, she exudes an aura that is three times stronger than Captain Curatis, and has a very military temperament.
Or was it originally sent by the Orb military on a temporary basis?
Shihe's eyes only stayed on the deputy section chief Li Nalu for a moment, and he seemed to be sensitively noticed by him.
"Hello, did you find anything wrong?"
The capable deputy section chief walked closer to Shihe and saluted.
I wanted to explain that Shi He was fine, but suddenly he raised it in such a way that it was a little too obvious, and his aura would be a bit weaker, so I took advantage of the situation and picked some simple questions on the homework sheet, which was regarded as a routine inquiry.
"It turns out that the current maintenance of these places needs to wait for the completion of some preparatory work before it can start. And..."
Li Luna explained this seriously.
"That's it, thank you for the explanation." Shihe nodded with satisfaction and emphasized: "But in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I would like to emphasize again, please do not carry out unplanned maintenance matters."
"Please rest assured that we will give full consideration to your concerns and try our best to ensure that no unpleasant accidents occur as expected." Li Nalu explained.
"Thank you for your understanding."
A brief episode passed quickly, and the repair work in the dock continued in an orderly manner.
Soon, one day passed, and the Dawn Society staff who had completed the planned repairs temporarily evacuated the dock where the Minerva was parked.
Maria Bernas from Shipbuilding Department B and Deputy Section Chief Li Nalu left the port in the same jeep, which sped along the coastal highway.
The so-called Chief Maria Bernard and Deputy Chief Li Nalu are naturally the false identities used by Captain Malu and Bakki Lulu for convenience.
"I didn't expect that I would meet a female captain who I can talk to very well. If you tell me Natal, you might be able to have a pleasant conversation with her." Captain Malu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the scenery along the coast. , while talking in a rather emotional tone.
"Maybe..." Unlike the energetic and capable person at work, Bucky Lulu just answered simply, seeming a little uninterested.
Ma Liu knew what Baji Lulu was thinking and said softly: "Are you worried about the news about Fleur and Li Boyong?"
After Julius fell, perhaps due to various disasters, they lost contact with Frey again in Orb.
At the same time, the only possible channel to learn about Li Boyong was lost.
When Malu mentioned the central issue, Bucky Lulu shook her head and denied: "No, the family that protects Fleur in the Atlantic Federation is quite powerful and should arrange for her to evacuate in advance. The possibility of Fleur being killed is low. Maybe I’ll be in touch in a few days.”
Turning a corner, she continued: "As for Li Boyong, if he is really still alive, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he is still in the army, and his chance of survival should be much higher than that of civilians. "
Listening to Bucky's unintentional words, Captain Maru, who was very used to his vice-captain being dishonest, didn't bother to expose it.
He was obviously worried to death, but he still acted like it had nothing to do with him.
Surprisingly cute...
However, Captain Malu did not dare to express this idea to his face.
She changed the topic and complained half-jokingly: "Speaking of which, I don't know if the men at home have prepared dinner. He actually lets the lady go out to work while he hides at home and enjoys himself. He is really a useless man."
Under Ma Liu's guidance, the atmosphere in the car became less heavy on the way back.
