Halbaton.

Unexpectedly, the next second after the Zhijiang ended the greeting with Maru, he would stand directly in front of him.

Lei Mingkai put down his saluting right hand, raised his eyes and looked at Halberton.

"Well, a very good guy."

After looking at each other for a long time, Halbaton nodded slowly.

Then he turned around and looked at Maliu.

"Can Ramias make a room? I have some questions to talk to this guy."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions suddenly became exciting.

The young girl standing behind Lei Mingkai was shocked.

A flash of light flashed in Bucky Lulu's eyes, as if he felt that Halberton's thoughts at this moment coincided with his own.

Mu shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

But Mary's expression became complicated.

As the main figure in advocating the entire plan, Halberton probably has set his sights on Lei Mingkai who can bring out the performance of the Gundam.

Even though Mary could guess Halbaton’s thoughts, she could not stop Halbaton’s plan.

Whether as a subordinate or as a student, Mary was not able to do much.

The door slowly closed, isolating Halbaton and Lei Mingkai from everyone's sight.

"It seems we can only rely on the admiral."

Looking at the closed door, Bucky Lulu made up her hat, saying with both gratitude and expectation.

"Lieutenant. Stop talking about it! I feel that now we are like evil people who force civilians to join the army!"

Maru waved her hand and didn't want to talk about this anymore.

"Lieutenant. Forget it! Our captain is very humane!"

After Mu patted Bacchilulu on the shoulder, he walked towards Gnaku in a meteor, and Mu's words still had the lower part.

But he didn't want Bucky Lulu to learn about it.

Because in addition to Lei Mingkai, the key figure, the launch of the attack on Gundam was due to another person.

Kira Yamato.

In Mu's opinion, this young man who is more sensitive than Lei Mingkai's identity should be forgotten in everyone's memory!

Otherwise, Lei Mingkai would not be the only one who was forced to join the army.

In the room, Halberton pointed to the chair next to him and asked Lei Mingkai to sit down.

"Kay Britania. I have heard about you from Copman. I didn't expect that even that old-fashioned guy from Copman would praise you."

As an opening remark, Halberton naturally guided the topic to the previous battle that almost destroyed the advance squadron.

"No, I just did what I should do. After all, in that case, the demise of the advance squadron represents an unexpected encounter with the Archangel. For the safety of my own and my sister's life, this is me

Things that can be done.”

Lei Mingkai's attitude was very modest and did not regard the previous victory as his own.

And this also made Halbaton nod.

"Is that right? But victory is victory. Because of the activity of you and the new body, this victory was achieved. Otherwise, even if there is a man called the Eagle of Endymion, he would have been afraid that even if there is a man called the Eagle of Endymion, he would have been afraid.

You can't face the Zaft fleet from nearly twenty MS, including the captured new body!"

Halberton directly put the greatest credit on Lei Mingkai's head.

What the meaning is self-evident.

Lei Mingkai sighed in his heart.

It seems that what should come will come.

"Admiral. This is also thanks to the assistance of Major Mu and other pilots. If they hadn't delayed Zaft's MS, I'm afraid even I would not be able to protect the Archangel and Montgomery at the same time.

Retreat the enemy.”

As soon as he spoke, Halberton captured the flaws in Lei Mingkai's words.

Is it intentional?

Or unintentional?

Halbaton's eyes narrowed slightly, but he decided to catch the flaws exposed by Lei Mingkai.

"In other words, without any scruples, warrant officer, can you knock back nearly twenty Zaft's MS alone?"

As soon as these words came out, Lei Mingkai's expression did not change at all, but just responded to Halbaton's questions calmly.

"No, that's just a temporary luck. The battlefield is not static, it's changing rapidly."

Halberton stopped asking questions, just stared at Lei Mingkai, trying to see through Lei Mingkai's thoughts at the moment, but in the end he still gained nothing.

"Kay Britania. I heard that you were a teaching assistant in the Institute of Technology and had a sister in the family."

"Yes! I originally planned to return to the hometown of Earth with my sister for vacation, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"The spring of the earth is beautiful. However, in this situation, it is probably difficult for you to go to Nordics."

There was something in Halbaton's words, but Lei Mingkai already knew it.

"Is it the Gibraltar military base in Zaft?"

Halbaton nodded and sighed:

"I didn't expect that Warrant Officer would have such an understanding of the situation of the battle. Yes. Because of the existence of Gibraltar, Europa is now under great pressure. Under this situation, it may be difficult for ordinary people to cross Europa to Northern Europe."

"But, the hometown is hard to leave. Nearly ten years have passed since the late parents took us brother and sister off the earth and settled in Heliopolis. It is because of this that our brother and sister urgently hope that we can

Return to your hometown.”

"Is it hard to leave my hometown?"

Halberton sighed slightly and finally made a choice.

After the two of them tried, Halbaton understood that Lei Mingkai had no intention of joining the Earth United and continued to be a part of the war as the pilot of the Archangel.

"Kay Britania. The Deputy Foreign Affairs Officer has reported to me about your brother and sister's trip to Scandinavia. After the Archangel lands in Alaska, there will be a flight there.

When you brothers and sisters can go home.”

Halberton didn't know that these seemingly ordinary words were undoubtedly a huge FLAG for Lei Mingkai.

Archangel landed in Alaska?

Lei Mingkai sighed secretly, and had no choice but to speak.

"Admiral! I think it's a bit inappropriate for Archangel to land in Alaska."

"Why?"

Halberton's face suddenly became unfair.

"Admiral. The battles that the Archangel had experienced before, Zaft sent more pursuit forces than once, and the pressure also increased. In the recent battle, Zaft sent five Nasca highways.

Warships, nearly twenty MS. What does such a force mean when placed in front of the Earth Combined Fleet? I think the admiral should also understand."

"Do you have to win the Archangel?"

In fact, Halbaton knew very well that this war had reached a white-hot stage.

First, the Zaft's retaliatory attack caused by the attack on the Silver Wind of PALNT, and then the victim of the Silver Wind incident, "Lax Klein", came out to dissuade the retaliatory attack.

Although this retaliatory offensive soon subsided, in fact, Halberton had predicted that a more tragic war in the future was quietly coming.

The public speech called "Lucks Klein" seemed to dissuade Zaft's attack, but in fact it was a secret fuel to the fire.

The speech that seemed to be calm and rational and only pursued the murderer was a hidden murderous intent.

As long as the Earth United side has no cooperation, this speech will immediately become the fuse for a new round of fierce and tragic war.

Can the Earth Federation cooperate?

Halbaton knew about this, and Lei Mingkai knew more about it.

Otherwise, Lei Mingkai would not have taken the initiative to raise the doubts about the decision of the Archangel to land in Alaska.

"Admiral. According to time calculation, the next round of Zaft's attack is probably coming. The Archangel may not be able to wait for the window to land in Alaska."

"And, will the scale of the use be larger and stronger than the previous one?"

Halbaton was silent.

"That's all today! Kay Britania. Thank you very much for everything you have done for the Archangel. If you have a chance in the future, I still hope you can join us and end this war."

Looking at Halbaton's right hand stretched out, Lei Mingkai smiled and said:

"No one can tell the future exactly! Thank you! Admiral!"
