In the Battle of the Citadel that broke out two years ago, who was the person that the members of Parliament representing the three major races were most grateful to? It was definitely not General Hackett who decided the outcome, nor was it the person who fought and fought in the Citadel. Dead Shepard, not to mention Carl Danner who finally brought the quarian fleet to support - there is actually only one person they are most grateful to, and that is Li Huamei!
First of all, Li Huamei was the first person to come to support and persisted until the end. She was the one who truly saved the lives of the three congressmen;
Secondly, although Li Huamei directed the subsequent battle, she left the most dramatic part to the rampaging "Destiny Extraordinary"! Then the members of the parliament who were all on the bridge of the Fried Rice at that time and who had been relieved of their duties as the captain of the Fried Rice could of course take on the task of "calm down and command the Fried Rice to regain the disadvantage." Le-Wen-concealed the image of their embarrassment since they escaped from the Citadel. And their image is their lives as political figures...
Finally, Li Huamei is a pure soldier. She retired after her success, and was never seen in the quarrels and quarrels after the war.
They are not involved in politics, so the gratitude of those Citadel councilors is more pure - not at all like that dead old man Hackett! Even if the old man didn't say "I saved you", what's with the constant hints? ! Anyway, what Old Man Hackett means is very clear - your gratitude is nothing to me! Discount it now...
Hackett and Li Huamei are in different positions. His rank as an admiral could no longer be promoted, so he could only turn those gratitudes into political benefits for the entire Star Alliance. The more those people in the Citadel hate him, the more secure his position in the Star Alliance becomes - he has recently been appointed as the head of the General Staff Headquarters. He wanted to command the three armies, which shows how much the Citadel council members hate him. And Li Huamei's retention of this gratitude will make some people in the Star Alliance even more jealous.
In the past two years, the three major races have sent an endless stream of invitations to the Second Fleet for joint military exercises, joint research and development, joint border patrols, bilateral visits, etc. Everyone knows that these bonuses are only for Li Huamei's sake. All are reserved for the Second Fleet. Even if the other fleets are jealous, they can only watch...
Star Alliance Second Fleet, Admiral Drescher was tricked by his son into retiring. The newly appointed commander, Lieutenant General Bell Colvin, has never been able to integrate the fleet well. Instead, another female general, Li Huamei, came up from behind and was clearly the enemy of General Drescher. But because of his straightforward and tough style, he was recognized by General Drescher's old team.
She was the first person to dare to ignore the traditions of the Star Alliance and paint her flagship red; she was the first woman to defeat all the men in the fleet until they were convinced; she was the hero of the Skylian Raid. She is also the hero of the Citadel Guard Battle; she is likely to become the youngest Star Alliance general... Personality, flamboyance, driving genius, natural commander, the strongest, crimson iron wall... Everything is not enough to describe her role in the Citadel. She has become the idol of the Second Fleet soldiers.
Therefore, when news came out at the beginning of the year that Li Huamei would become a general, everyone was certain that she was the future of the Second Fleet - the only difference was that it would take how many years it would take for her to become a general from Lieutenant General Bell Colvin. Take the sword...
At the moment when Hackett installed the general star on Li Huamei, the lights were like day.
This photo made headlines across the galaxy the next day.
*****
When Shepard went to attend Li Huamei's investiture ceremony. Normandy SR2 also docked into the port of the Grand Cape Space Station, waiting for the commander to return.
It's just that this is a Star Alliance center and this ship belongs to the semi-illegal organization "Cerberus". Therefore, not only the "Normandy" was strictly monitored. Cerberus members on the entire ship were also prohibited from going ashore, including the joker, the ship's doctor and other former Star Alliance soldiers... As a soldier who had experienced life and death for the Star Alliance, it was natural that he had a different feeling in his heart.
Although this ship is still called the "Normandy" and is designed as an enhanced version of the Normandy, the spaceship is the property of Cerberus after all. Although the captain is still Shepard, Cerberus senior agent Miranda Rosen is also on the battleship. She is the steward of the entire ship. In charge of a series of major powers such as logistics, ordinary crew personnel, EDI, etc. Of course... everyone knows that her presence here also means monitoring Sister Xue.
Miranda Rosen knew that she should not appear in front of those people at this time. So when Shepard left the ship, she did not patrol the Normandy as she had done in the past, but locked herself in her office.
Transforming the office windows to opaque, Miranda finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to really think about her own business. At least in this office, she could be sure to be safe - the EDI monitoring the entire ship was under her control, and no one would reveal her secrets. Now, Miranda is facing a big problem... her father.
As mentioned earlier, Miranda stole her sister Oriana a long time ago just to prevent her sister from living the same life as she did. A few years have passed, and Oriana has always been like an ordinary person, growing up happily in an ordinary family. Perhaps because she still had Ding Mumu as her sister, Miranda did not cut off contact with Oriana. Oriana knew about the existence of her sister, and the two of them had always maintained a habit of communicating with each other.
Only this time, her father found traces of Oriana again - her father had completely given up on transforming Miranda and Ding Mumu. He pinned his dream of creating a perfect daughter on Oriana! So this time he attacks, he must use all his strength.
Now, Miranda can only find a way to hide Oriana again...but she doesn't have many cards in her hand. Her father is one of Cerberus's biggest sponsors, and Miranda has no way of using Cerberus' power. So, after excluding Cerberus, there were very few people she could turn to for help. In fact, there were only three - Lu Yuan, her sister Ding Mumu, and Captain Shepard.
Yes, even if several years have passed, and even if Cerberus and Dawn are now in a hostile relationship, she still puts Lu Yuan as the first person she can turn to for help, even above her sister Ding Mumu. The mission to invade the pirate base with Lu Yuan was not the most thrilling of the missions she performed, but it was the most interesting... Ahem, when Miranda woke up from her memories, she realized that she was stunned. I thought about it for five minutes... What an unforgivable mistake!
She immediately put aside her hesitation, eliminated the first choice, and decisively dialed her sister Ding Mumu's communication number.
The communication request made her wait for a full 30 seconds before she was connected.
"Sister, have you finally remembered your dearest sister?" Ding Mumu's soft and teasing words came. But what really caught Miranda's attention was the blood blooming on Ding Mumu's cheek. Ding Mumu raised her arms high and pointed the camera of the multi-purpose tool at herself. Miranda could see the sword blade shaking at the edge of the screen, as well as Ding Mumu's orange and blue armor splattered with blood.
That was the standard armor of the "Celestial Eclipse" mercenary group, and around Ding Mumu, corpses wearing the same armor could be seen everywhere.
"What happened?! Are you still safe?! Are you on a mission?" Miranda asked urgently.
"It's over, sister." Ding Mumu playfully made a scissor hand gesture towards the camera, and disappeared after making a few fancy moves with her two-handed dagger. "Don't worry about Oriana anymore, everyone hired by dad is already here...except me!"
Miranda just thought for a moment and sorted out the situation from the chaos - her father hired the "Celestial Eclipse" mercenary group to kidnap Oriana, but she didn't know that Ding Mumu was also a member of the mercenary group. Then during the execution of the mission, Ding Mumu killed all the insiders and those who carried out the mission... The only problem now is...
"How did you know that something happened to Oriana? Also, where is Oriana now?"
"Hey, sister, let me play with you for two days," Ding Mumu said with a smile of success. Miranda would definitely not agree to this kind of request she made in the past. "As for how I know sister's information, just check the table in front of you... Sister, you'd better be more careful. No place is truly safe!"
When Miranda was stunned, Ding Mumu directly cut off the communication.
After thinking for a few seconds, Miranda stood up abruptly. She quickly checked around the room and on the table. Finally, she paused as her hands closed around the corners of the partition. This part of the table is visually no different from other parts...but when you touch it with your fingers, there is indeed a little...a very subtle difference. That difference is not so much a touch, but rather an intuition after being prompted.
She exerted great force with her fingers, and the synthetic material table corner broke under her slender fingers, revealing delicate crystal lines underneath...
*****
Miranda felt very angry at being monitored, but there was nothing she could do about it.
She can guess who installed the surveillance equipment - the entire ship is under the surveillance of edi artificial intelligence. The only person who can avoid these and install this monitor in her room is the omnipotent master thief!
But not only could she not expose Jiang Yuxia, she even had to help her cover it up. Because she knows who Jiang Ruoxia belongs to, probably no one else except Lu Yuan! If it weren't for Ding Mumu's reminder, Jiang Ruixia would not have been exposed. The reason why Jiang Ruixia installed such a monitor facing her in her office must have come from Ding Mumu's request - except for the most annoying sister in the world, no one would want to stare at her all day long.
As for the relationship between Ding Mumu and Dawn, Miranda has known it for a long time... She has no secrets from Mu Mu, and Mu Mu has no secrets from her.
