Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 98 Cruze’s wooing
Because of the silence of the Kamov, the white Keen driven by Ino docked in the hangar of the Vesalius.

Looking at the empty hangar and the Holy Shield Gundam and Thunder Gundam coming from behind, Ino took off his helmet and turned around to drift towards the driver's dressing room.

In this battle, ZAFT achieved results far beyond imagination.

At the cost of eight Keen and Kamov ships falling, they successfully defeated the Earth United Eighth Fleet and even shot down the fleet's flagship.

This result is undoubtedly brilliant, and can even be said to be the most brilliant result since CE71.

Even in the war between ZAFT and the Earth, it is enough to leave a rich record.

"Ino Kamal reports!"

Outside Kruse's office, Eno, wearing driving uniform, saluted and loudly reported.

"Come in."

"excuse me!"

As the door opened, Ino walked into the office.

At this time, Kruse was checking something in front of the computer.

Ino stood there and waited quietly.

a while.

Kruse closed the computer, crossed his hands on the table and said with a chuckle: "Shooted down 48 mobile fortresses and five battleships, including three Drake-class frigates and two Nelson-class battleships - this record is better than mine in the world. The results of the Battle of Trees are even more glorious."

"The captain is so impressed."

Listening to this number, Ino still had some fluctuations in his heart.

I didn't think too much during the battle. After the battle, I thought about it carefully. I killed at least more than 3000 people in this battle.

Of course, he will not say here whose father or child they are, nor will he complain or be afraid here. After all, there are immortals in war.

"You deserve this compliment."

Cruze continued: "I have already prepared a combat report to be sent to the Ministry of National Defense. I believe Minister Sala and the Natal Chief of Staff will be very happy."

"Thank you, but all of this is inseparable from Captain Cruze's wise guidance."

Ino didn't know for the time being what the purpose of Cruze's calling him over was, so he could only tell what the other party said.

"Ha ha--"

Kruse smiled when he heard this and did not answer immediately. Instead, he sat there and looked at Ino silently.

Naturally, Ino didn't know what to say when he saw this, so he could only stand like this.

After a moment of silence.

Cruze suddenly stood up slowly from his chair, walked around the table and walked in front of Ino: "I have prepared a reason for you for what you did on the Archangel."

When Ino heard this, something strange flashed in his eyes.

"Of course, I don't do this in the hope that you will be grateful to me. I just hope that you can see clearly who is the person who can really help you."

Cruze said, reaching out and patting Ino's shoulder, and smiled with some emotion: "You know Chief of Staff Nuttle has high hopes for you."

Ino raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little unsure of Cruze's meaning, or he couldn't figure out what the other party's good intentions were.

Is it simply to win over yourself?

"I don't like to tell people too clearly, but for you, I hope you can understand that Minister Sarah is the foundation of ZAFT."

Kruse said with a smile: "Recently, the MS R&D department has just produced a few trial-type mass production machines. I have applied for a quota from you. With your achievements and abilities, you will surely receive the news soon. I hope you will Don’t live up to Minister Sara’s good intentions, after all, it’s troublesome to hide some things.”

"Thank you Captain Cruze for your kindness. I know what to do."

Ino was stupid enough to understand what Cruze meant.

The other party just told me clearly that from now on you will be a member of the Sara faction, and you must be a member of the Sara faction.

Anyway, if you follow the Sara faction, you will have meat to eat.

If you don't follow the Sara faction, then you are a spy of the Eurasian Federation.

"I hope you really understand." After speaking, Kruse turned around and returned to the table: "You can go."

"Yes! This subordinate retire."

Ino saluted in response, turned and left the office.

Looking at the slowly closing door, Cruze leaned on his chair and thought secretly.

He called Ino in this time just to express an attitude, but more detailed information was needed on how to act.

In fact, he didn't fully understand Ino's situation.

"It seems we still need to find some key information-"

----

On a stretch of blue coast, dotted islands float in and out of sight.

Sunlight shines through the self-healing glass, illuminating the space colony.

A moderate breeze blew the green hillsides, and her long pink hair was blown away by the breeze. The girl sitting in the pavilion quietly read a book.

Under the sunshine, the girl's delicate face blends harmoniously with the breeze, making the dream seem unreal.

"Miss Lux, I have a communication email from you."

The maid looked at it from a distance for a while before finally remembering her mission.

"Excuse me, Vanessa, I'll be right over."

Hearing this, Lux closed the book in her hand that ordinary people thought was difficult to understand, stood up, smoothed the wrinkles of her white dress, and walked slowly over.

"Isn't Father back yet?"

Lux came to Vanessa and asked.

"Yes, the meeting seems to have been extended." Vanessa replied respectfully.

"Extension?"

A trace of worry flashed in Lux's eyes when she heard this.

Today's meeting of the Supreme Council is about strengthening the review of 'Operation Voloporos'.

The Volopoulos operation mainly refers to the operation of completing the equatorial blockade through three main operations.

The first is to secure military strongholds on Earth;
The second is to suppress the spaceport and mass accelerator base to block the coalition forces on the earth;

The third distribution is "neutron jamming devices" that can inhibit the supply of nuclear weapons and nuclear fission energy.

The third point has been completed a long time ago, but due to various actions of the Earth Alliance and the emergence of new mobile suits and battleships, the ZAFT staff group discussed and re-drafted a plan to strengthen the Voroboros operation.

Lux did not know the specific contents of the plan, and was not qualified to check it.

But no matter what the content of the plan is, once the plan is implemented, the casualties it will cause will definitely be suffocating.

The April Fool's Day crisis caused by the placement of neutron jammers indirectly affected the livelihoods of billions of civilians in the United Earth.

"Do not make jokes!"

At the top council meeting of PLANT, Eli Kasim, who belonged to the Klein faction, stood up from his seat with a roar: "Not all the earth is enemies, are you planning to unite the earth and start a war with us! "

"This time we only intend to accurately launch neutron jammers against the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Federation. Other forces are not within the attack range." Herman Gould of the Sarah faction explained helplessly.

"So what? Can you guarantee that other pro-PLANT forces will not have any psychological grudges over this? They are either enemies or friends. Do you intend to implement this concept into the hearts of everyone in the United Earth!"

Eli Kanaba of the Klein faction asked rhetorically: "Our PLANT has always been in space. Compared with the forces that belong to the same earth, they are inherently closer to the member states that belong to the same earth. If we implement the strategy of either enemy or friend, We are the only ones who will be isolated in the end!”

"So you plan to let it develop? Now that they have developed such a new type of machine, who knows what weapons they will come up with next. Even the so-called neutral countries are secretly helping the Atlantic Federation to develop the machine. Can you guarantee that other Didn’t the forces secretly help the Atlantic Federation?”

Aisalia Jiuer stood up and retorted: "Do you want to wait for the other party to put the gun in our face before we can truly distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend!"

"..."

At this moment, the quarrel between the Sara faction and the Klein faction was almost brought to light.
