Macross Empire

Now that she heard that Lacus Klein exposed her identity as soon as she met the Desert Tiger, Li Yuan, who had confidence in his heart and knew the natural state of Big Pink, was not too angry, and simply took the initiative to speak up.

"Your Excellency Andrew Balterfield, the Desert Tiger, I am Li Yuan, the driver of Shura Gundam. I believe that the previous situation has given us a general understanding of each other. However, it is still a pleasure to meet you!"

After patting Lacus on the shoulders and signaling Lacus to follow him, Li Yuan sat down directly on the sofa in the center of the reception room, and calmly introduced himself to Andrew and Aisha who were still in shock.

"...Hehe, I didn't expect that a big man like His Excellency Li Yuan would come to me with Miss Lacus? It's a great honor. Do you want to taste the special coffee I made?" Seeing Li Yuan's actions, he finally went from being shocked Andrew, who came to his senses, looked at Li Yuan with weird eyes, smiled dryly, sat down in front of Li Yuan, and asked.

Seeing the actions of her lover Andrew Balterfield, the woman Aisha didn't say much, she also sat down next to the Desert Tiger in silence, and didn't take the initiative to shout at Li Yuan or do anything else , obviously just like in the anime, it is completely based on the meaning of my lover, even if I face death directly!

"Coffee? Okay..."

Hearing the desert tiger's words to ease the atmosphere, Li Yuan would not be foolish enough to refuse, and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the Desert Tiger stood up straight away, performed the grinding process of the best coffee beans he claimed to have obtained from Brazil in South America, and then poured coffee for Li Yuan, Lacus and Aisha in turn with a coffee pot emitting a mellow aroma. He had a cup of coffee, and finally filled the coffee cup in front of him.

"The taste is really good..." Drinking the pure natural coffee made by Andrew, Li Yuan nodded and gave his evaluation, and then he looked at Andrew and Aisha who put down the cup after just a sip, with a hint of meaning in the corner of his mouth He said with a smile, "Mr. Andrew must have wanted to understand why I brought Miss Lacus here?"

"That's right, Mr. Li Yuan, you and Ms. Lacus have different identities. Right now, the speaker of PLANT is still busy trying to find Miss Lacus. Not to mention your identity and importance, if the Earth United If the high-level army knows that you are here and is detained or killed by me, they will probably order the Eurasian Federation Army to launch a strong attack on the Mediterranean theater and the African theater at all costs..."

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Aisha and Lacus' reactions need not be mentioned. Desert Tiger Andrew looked at Li Yuan with a wry smile on his face, but apart from self-deprecating, there was also a hint of threat in the words.

"No! No, I think at least in terms of your thoughts and the situation of Baladiya, Desert Tiger, at least you will not choose to detain or kill me. After all, that is not your true heart, isn't it?" Regarding Andrew's implicitly threatening tone, Li Yuan continued to drink his coffee calmly and said with certainty.

Not to mention the clues and information that Li Yuan himself obtained in the "Gundam SEED" anime, even if Andrew Balterfield, the Desert Tiger, really turns his face, the unlucky one will definitely not be Li Yuan who has a plan-if the Desert Tiger is really like this Do it, Li Yuan will definitely give the other party a big "surprise"!

"Interesting! Why is Your Excellency Li Yuan so sure that I won't do anything? You know, the 'X' series Gundam is the most powerful individual combat force of the United Earth Army, and there are countless people who want to know its secrets. As the ZAFT ground The commanders of the Mediterranean theater and the African theater of the army are the enemy in the war against His Excellency Li Yuan..."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Andrew's expression also changed, and then he looked at Li Yuan curiously and asked.

As the United Earth Army and the ZAFT Army, after Lacus brought out the opposing identities between the two sides, they couldn't be fooled by pretending to be stupid.In particular, one of the two parties is the commander of the ZAFT Ground Army’s African and Mediterranean theaters, and the other is the strongest "X" series Gundam pilot of the United Earth Army. It is reasonable to say that the two sides are opposing camps that are directly opposed to each other and are directly engaged in acts of war. No relationship is too much!

Then turning his head, Andrew Balterfield was a little curious, what was the reason why Li Yuan sat in front of him carelessly, and openly expressed his attitude towards the senior generals of the ZAFT army.

"As for the hands-on aspect, I don't think I'm unprepared..." Li Yuan gave a more reasonable excuse for Andrew Balterfield's question.After seeing the desert tiger nodding slightly but shaking his head again, he didn't continue to explain his confidence, and said simply: "Besides, as a desert tiger who is already a little tired of war, you don't want to fight anymore in your heart. Start a big fight, right?"

Li Yuan's words were like a heavy fire, which changed the expressions of both Andrew and Aisha. A little surprised, he let out a soft cry of surprise, obviously understanding the meaning of Li Yuan's words.

"...Why are you so sure? You know, I left many soldiers of the United Earth Army in this desert, and just now we fought a unilateral massacre!"

After a few seconds of silence, Andrew calmed down and said to Li Yuan calmly.

After all, Andrew Balterfield, who is known as the "Desert Tiger", is not a kid who is fooled by people in just one or two sentences.Although Li Yuan hit the secret in his heart with one mouthful, this tiger still wouldn't choose to be brought into Li Yuan's conversation rhythm - of course, it can also be considered that the tiger just doesn't want to admit defeat casually!

"Hehe, Mr. Andrew, in the words of the East, I've said 'Smart people don't speak dark words'!"

Listening to Andrew Balterfield's answer, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, and then he directly picked up the topic, "Mr. Andrew, as the theater commander of the ZAFT ground army, don't you think that there are not enough Under the cover and containment of the space army, the ground troops of the United Earth Army have been silent for such a long time, except for occasional attacks in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Australia, why didn't they launch a full-scale attack?"

"But what does this have to do with me?" In response to Li Yuan's almost straightforward words, Andrew Balterfield's face became serious, but he still asked back with some reluctance to admit defeat.

It is impossible to say that Andrew Balterfield and other sensible people in the ZAFT army did not see that the situation of the United Earth Army is a bit weird, whether it is the United Earth Space Force, which occupies the overall advantage, or the United Earth Ground Army, which is supposed to have a comprehensive advantage. If you really want to do a full-scale attack on the ZAFT army, you can do it at least in CE70.Especially without seizing the initiative in the universe, in addition to successfully opening up the Gibraltar base and the African front, the ZAFT army on Earth even relies on industries repaired in the occupied areas for its supplies and weapons production.

During the first half of the year from CE70 to just CE71, the United Earth's counterattacks in the Mediterranean theater and the African theater also made Desert Tiger see that something was wrong. A large number of recruits joined the army and the equipment of the Earth United Army, which had an absolute advantage in scale. It is not inferior to the ZAFT ground army, but why does the battle situation appear like this...

"If I tell Your Excellency the Desert Tiger that the current actions of the United Earth Army are for the pursuit of peace, then what does your Excellency the Desert Tiger think?" Without waiting for Andrew Balterfield to think about the overall situation that he didn't want to think about , Li Yuan put down the empty coffee cup in his hand, and said a seemingly absurd possibility.

Peace?Hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives have been lost on both sides?Is it for peace? ? ?

Although no one said it, except for the thoughtful Andrew Balterfield, the eyes of the two women, Lacus and Aisha, revealed a little bit of bewilderment and disdain.

"You may think it is ridiculous, but the tragedy on the Julius 7 colonial satellite is indeed not what the United Earth side wants to see. And on the United Earth side, the blue cosmos and the strength of the group behind it I believe you also understand .Even if the United Earth is preparing to negotiate peace with PLANT, after the Julius 7 satellite's "Blood Valentine's Day" tragedy, it is impossible for both sides to calm down and accept the peace proposal..."

Regarding the situation of the three people in the room, Li Yuan simply stated the reason that seemed to be aboveboard.

In fact, even in the "Gundam SEED" anime, after the "Blood Valentine's Day" incident on the Julius 7 satellite, PLANT was immersed in the slogans of "revenge" and "war". Geer Klein, the peace faction headed by the Speaker of the PLANT, all have a unified caliber. They chose to support the ZAFT army and the chairman of the National Defense Council Sarah. After CE71, when the adjusters of PLANT suffered heavy casualties, it can be said that they used blood and death to wear down PLANT's vengeance.

Li Yuan will not fully explain his identity and actions in "Gundam SEED" to Andrew, Lacus, and Aisha, but this reasonable excuse alone can make the three of them associate and make up their own brains.

"So, for more than half a year, the Earth Alliance has cleaned up those blue cosmos loyalists inside itself, while upgrading weapons and equipment, but has not launched a large-scale attack on the ZAFT army..."

After listening to Li Yuan's explanation, Andrew Balterfield, who obviously made up his own brain, smiled wryly. Looking at Li Yuan, he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or boasting about the Earth United.

Hearing Andrew Balterfield's explanation, Lux's slightly dazed big pink eyes flickered for a moment showing surprise, not to mention Aisha's words, she even blocked her small mouth with one hand , stopped the exclamation just heard that contained too much secret and information in advance.

"So, Mr. Andrew, what's your opinion now?" Li Yuan didn't think it was too strange for the reaction of the three of Andrew Balterfield, but continued to ask with a relaxed expression.

Although before meeting Desert Tiger, Li Yuan did not rule out the proposal and mentality of Desert Tiger Andrew Balterfield.But now after the actual meeting, Li Yuan is not very worried. Obviously, although the Desert Tiger at this time did not officially join the peaceful camp of PLANT because of the death of his lover as in the original plot of "Gundam SEED" .But judging from Andrew's performance and reaction just now, it is estimated that this desert tiger has already formed his own judgment and psychological tendency on why he wants to fight and kill!

"Having heard these secrets, what choice do I have?"

Regarding Li Yuan's question, Andrew, who had automatically completed some plots in his brain, had a wry smile on his face, and looked at Li Yuan full of strangeness and exclamation...

Chapter 266 The Last Leisure Time

Under the night, the captain's lounge on the Archangel.

On the dining table in the room, there are plates of delicacies made of fresh ingredients purchased from Baladiya, including top-quality roast lamb, honey cake, fruit salad and other local specialties that tend to be Arabic , and even for ladies there is a corresponding low-alcohol fruit wine.

"Yuan, that is to say, the tiger only agreed to remain neutral now, intending to choose a peaceful position at the right time? But Lux still returned with you?"

After tasting the fruit salad in front of her, Natal Bakilulu raised her own question with some doubts.

"That's right, after not receiving the death order and knowing what I said, the tiger proposed a neutral attitude and no longer attack us! However, that big pink said that he wanted to go to see the earth with me The joint situation..."

For Natal Bakilulu's question, Li Yuan answered with a wonderful expression on his face.

To be honest, the situation of Andrew Balterfield was within Li Yuan's expectations, but the situation of the big pink Lacus was a bit beyond Li Yuan's expectations. He thought that the big pink would choose to stay with Tiger in the African theater and then Transferred to another channel to return to PLANT, but did not expect Big Pink to ask to stay on the Archangel?

"It's not just Lacus, Kira Yamato and Mirialia seemed to have had a quarrel with the Orb princess named Kagalli in the afternoon just now. But just now Kagalli brought someone to me and said that she wants to talk to Let's leave together..."
