Chapter 20 Roommates' Dinner

"To celebrate our return from the World Tree~ Cheers!"

Sitting opposite He Kui in the restaurant was Ed, his roommate, who also went to the World Tree. Not only did he survive, but he was miraculously not injured. He was truly amazing.

"Congratulations."

He Kui said sincerely.

"It was really thrilling. Luckily, I had Mr. Cruze there, otherwise I wouldn't have been so lucky."

At that time, the situation on Ed's battlefield was that Cruze was invincible and directly attracted most of the energy over there. Naturally, the pressure on Ed and others was much less.

"Our next target should be Earth. Although the good news about the war has stabilized food prices, the output of June City alone is still not enough to meet the needs of everyone on PLANT."

Although synthetic meat can be used to cope with the problem, it is just a coping mechanism. If left unchecked, the economy within PLANT will completely collapse and there will be no need to send troops to fight together.

This is also one of the reasons why PLANT has turned offensive since Valentine's Day. The other side has made it clear that they will not ship food to them, and pro-PLANT countries on Earth are also being suppressed, coupled with the threat of nuclear bombs.

At this time, there is no other way except to take the initiative.

"right."

Everyone understands the principle, but there is still much discussion about how to break into the Earth. From the latest simulation model, it can be seen that if they launch a neutron jammer to the Earth, they can naturally paralyze all kinds of guided weapons of the Earth Alliance, but completely cutting off nuclear energy also means completely pulling most of the people on Earth to the opposite side.

Of course, this is not what He Kui needs to consider. It is better to worry about tomorrow's work than this.

"Will you continue to stay in the front-line troops?"

"There's nothing we can do. I hope it won't be our turn when the battle begins."

Ed smiled bitterly.

The first group of fighters that land on Earth will definitely be the suicide squad, or cannon fodder. There is no doubt that their end will be miserable. Even if they surrender, they will probably be imprisoned. It is impossible to expect the Earth Federation to abide by the Geneva Convention.

"Um"

He Kui had no way to deal with Ed's predicament, and the two of them could only have another drink. Having experienced the war, the two men were no longer the young and naive people they were in the military academy, and they felt much more burdened.

"Speaking of which, I have a fiancée."

"Ah? Who is it?"

"He's a frontline soldier like me. He's currently in the third MS troop on the front line. We haven't met each other yet," Ed said a little embarrassedly.

"Let's not talk about me. How did you get along so well with Miss Hanifs and even live together?"

"Gift"

Before He Kui finished speaking, several people who had just come in from the door looked at them. Ed's face suddenly changed when he saw them.

"what happened?"

"without"

Before Ed could stand up to greet them, those people saw He Kui wearing the uniform of an assistant engineer from the Hailan Design Bureau and looked at each other in confusion and quickly left the store.

"So what's the matter? Although I can't save you, some problems can still be solved."

Although B-class engineers may seem inconspicuous, this is only relatively speaking. In terms of status, B-class engineers are equivalent to ordinary red-coats. Moreover, the researchers of the five major design bureaus are relatively important to ZAFT. Naturally, there are strict internal rules to prohibit conflicts between ZAFT soldiers and researchers.

"That's right. They think I stole their military achievements."

Seeing the reactions of the others, who were as if they had seen a tiger, Ed finally told them the whole story slowly.

It was probably because the battlefield was too chaotic, which led to abnormal records of some military exploits. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to grab more of other people's military exploits and exchange them for more rewards. This kind of threat really scared a lot of people, and for those who disobeyed, they would intimidate them like they did just now.

"Give me the name and I'll report it internally."

"Ah, is that all?"

"Okay, if it doesn't work, come find me again."

Generally speaking, they still take the opinions of B-level personnel seriously, and this kind of thing is already a matter of military discipline, so there is absolutely no problem in finding Su Lei.

"Sorry for the trouble. I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

Ed said, clasping his hands together.

“No synthetic meat.”

"I know~"
