Chapter 139: The Loneliness of the Deep Sea
"Colonel Scirocco!" Emma gave a standard military salute, "Emma Sheen reports to you."
"Well, sit down." Scirocco nodded slightly and gestured to the seat in front of him, "Yazan reported to me this morning that 'he' has been handed over to Guin Sard Rhineford. The other party is very trustworthy, the first payment was immediately remitted to our account, and the rest will be replenished in the next few days."
"Yes." Emma sat down carefully, feeling that she should make a happy face now, and added, "That's really great."
"After the money is all wired, Rhineford won't be of much use, and the fewer people know this, the better. We can't be careless on something like that." Scirocco had a brilliant flash in his eyes, "Captain Emma."
"Yes!" Emma subconsciously stood up.
"Give Stella a special assignment." Scirocco said expressionlessly, "Next week, Halevy's son will get married, and many important people in politics and business, including Rhineford, will attend, so have Stella pretend to be a terrorist and attack the wedding site. Rhineford must die, and I will give you a detailed list of how to handle the others at that time."
"Yes!" Emma replied loudly, thought about it and suddenly got a chill on her back and asked, "Then Stella will be"
"We sent out peacekeeping troops to eliminate the terrorists, by the way, sell those big shots a favor." Scirocco smiled cruelly, "Britannia itself is about to be finished, Lingus's tail is also caught by me, and the economic urgency has been solved, so, Stella had become useless. Let her contribute her last value."
"But," Emma racked her brain for a reason, "but the Banshee Gundam is a very precious combat power, and only Stella is currently able to bring out its full power."
"The power of one MS is small in the face of great power, not to mention that we have the time and technology to use the Murayu Research Institute to raise truly loyal NTs from scratch," Scirocco stood up and walked over to Emma, whispering, "You've been taking care of her for so long, I understand that you don't want to see her die. But Captain Emma, you have to understand that we have more important things to think about."
"More important things," Emma muttered, repeating it.
"What do you think we TITANS are doing? Defending our country, or ruling the planet? Neither, we're building a better world, and for that, a unified and powerful force is necessary." Scirocco slowly paced in the office, "Stella gave herself for a better future and became a cornerstone of the new world. In this perspective, she will be happy to sacrifice her small self to achieve a big one."
"Happy?" Emma had some difficulty controlling her emotions.
"As I told you before, economy, culture, science, ideology, every aspect of this world has always relied on geniuses to drive progress. Like Aeolia, like Minovsky, like Lingus," Scirocco smiled modestly and slightly, "like me."
"Yes." Emma nodded honestly, not disagreeing with that, "You're right."
"But the bigwigs in the military, the Senators in the council, the high officials in the government, what makes them sit in their current positions? Are the generals really good at military strategy? Do the parliamentary Senators really understand people's livelihood? Is the finance minister really proficient in economics?" Scirocco showed a disdainful expression, "Don't make me laugh, the only talent they have is on political struggle, other than that, these losers can't do anything."
The topic is too sensitive, Emma listened to it and tried to forget every one of the words.
"This group of mediocre people proudly set up the rules that only benefit themselves, define political struggle as the noblest talent, shamelessly control the real geniuses, and smugly dictate the fields that they are completely unfamiliar with. When Dr. Minovsky, who left the Federation in despair and ended up dying in Chernobyl, did these losers show a hint of remorse?" Scirocco snorted, "Emma, what do you think Lingus would be now if he were in the Federation?"
"I " Emma shook her head, "I don't know."
"Minister of Science and Technology? The power to make decisions on the development of national science? Don't joke about it. He would at most have the suggestion right, and would be a mere director of an institute until he died." Scirocco laughed out loud, "Over the years, the losers have managed to deceive themselves and make up ridiculous theories that even they themselves believe. Idiots really think they have mastered the world's greatest talent, there is no longer anything under the sky that can defeat them, and all geniuses are just their dogs in their eyes."
Emma lowered her head to savor Scirocco's words and made a thoughtful look.
"The really talented people are depressed, and the losers steal the high position. The Federation has been rotten for a long time, and it's only right that it's rotten now." Looking at Emma's expression, Scirocco nodded in satisfaction, "So, do you understand now? Do you understand how valuable a real genius is to this world? How great and glorious and right of the things we are going to do? How worthy is Stella's sacrifice to all mankind?"
"I " Emma hesitated for a moment, finally saluting and replying in a loud voice, "Colonel Scirocco, I understand!"
"Very well." Scirocco looked up at the clock, "I remember that Stella has to strike later, you can leave now."
Emma turned and left Scirocco's office, walking alone in the empty corridor, whispering to herself, "Colonel, you make a good point, I can't refute it, but that doesn't constitute a reason why Stella must be sacrificed I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't understand it, screw the more important things."
After she found Stella in the lounge, she dragged the young girl by the hand to the women's locker room. Now that everyone was long ready to strike, the locker room was empty.
"Emma?" Stella looked at her with a bewildered expression, "It's time to strike, we'll be criticized for being late."
"Lucky, they didn't put cameras in here." Emma looked around the locker room and said to the young girl with a straight face, "Listen, Stella, there is a rather complicated task. It's a classified mission, you can't talk to anyone about it, can you do it?"
"Yes!" Stella nodded her head vigorously, "Stella can do it!"
Stella was a precious asset that TITANS focused on, and it was almost impossible for Emma to run away with her. Emma was desperate and had no choice but to make this move.
"From today, whenever Celestial Being's Gundam appears, you go to them and report yourself." Emma, fearing that Stella would not understand, slowed her speech, "If they come to arrest you, don't resist."
"Hmm?" Stella cocked her head, "Undercover mission?"
"Yes, an undercover mission!" Emma excitedly clenched her fist, "Even if I or other TITANS people tell you to resist or return, that's all an act we have arranged, ignore it. Focus on going to Celestial Being and then deliberately get caught, got it?"
Stella tilted her hair for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head to Emma with an innocent smile, "Stella understands!"
"Good." Emma let out a long breath of relief and gave the young girl a strong hug, "That's all I can do, it's up to you. Stella, I believe you can do it."
"Hey?" Stella was a little overwhelmed by Emma's hug, "Emma?"
"Strike, it's about time." Emma took Stella's hand and walked towards the hangar, "I wonder how many more times you have to take a ride on the Banshee Gundam before you can sigh."
A few hours later, Stella was flying on the sea in the Banshee Gundam. Yes, the sea. The main battlefield is still the Atlantic Ocean.
The war between the Federation and Britannia now, except for a bunch of dead soldiers and senior officers, both sides didn't get any substantial progress. The war had turned into a pure loss of national power, and this was all because of Celestial Being, a professional "shit-stirrer." Now the two armies no longer have flagships. And even the commanders allowed the soldiers to retreat if they see Celestial Being. Many people in the military thought that the war had become meaningless.
Scirocco, as the aggressed side, was naturally righteous and could not surrender, while Britannia, as the aggressor side, held the initiative of peace, which was the main reason for the political disagreement between Schneizel and Emperor Charles. In Scirocco's calculations, he would win as long as the civil war inside Britannia imploded, and then he would be the great protector of the country and could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, Celestial Being's behavior was actually considered to be a good thing in Scirocco's heart.
But all this has nothing to do with Stella. She just listened to Emma's words, while slaughtering ordinary soldiers, while craning her neck in search of Celestial Being's Gundam.
"Stella." Emma's voice rang out on the friendly channel, "Celestial Being's Gundam has appeared, the coordinates are you go deal with it."
"Understood!" Stella responded and moved towards the target location. On the halfway, she vaguely felt something in the sky, drifted off and flew towards the sky.
Every time she used NT-D, her sensing range became a little larger, and now it was very, very, very large. But as long as it involved problems related to mental aspects, there would be terrible doctors to treat her, so she didn't dare to tell anyone, not even Emma.
"Stella, come back!" Emma's voice rang out again impatiently, "Not that way!"
"It's an act, ignore it," Stella recalled Emma's words and continued flying at high speed.
Before long, a dj vu awareness appeared in her senses, and before she could recall who it was, the NT-D logo suddenly lit up in front of her eyes. With the Banshee Gundam deformed, revealing the golden glowing psycho-frame underneath, the young girl's mind was suddenly in chaos.
"NewType" her eyes were suddenly covered with hideous blood, "all kill"
Chang Wufei held his waist with one hand and yawned, looking like he was still sleepy, "So that's it, any questions? If there's no problem, striking out."
"Grandpa, are you ok?" Shinn only then raised his hand and asked, "You've been like this since just now, is it better to rest for a few days?"
"It's like that when you're old and you get woken up in the middle of the night." Chang Wufei somehow laughed particularly happily, "I have to submit to old age."
Uraki and Kira exchanged a confused look and shrugged as they left the briefing room. Kamille gave Shinn a complicated look and followed them to leave.
"Wait a minute." Chang Wufei came up and pressed Shinn's shoulder with a hesitated look, "Actually, Stella, she she "
"It's okay, grandpa, you don't have to worry, I've figured it out." Shin thought Chang Wufei was coming to comfort him, so he gave Chang Wufei a cheerful smile, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll make my strike preparations first."
Chang Wufei showed a rare hesitated expression, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together in an ugly way, and finally sighed helplessly and patted Shinn on the back without saying anything else.
By the time Shinn wheedled his way to the locker room, everyone was gone. He opened his closet, and on the picture taped to the inside of the door, the blonde girl was smiling sweetly at him.
"Stella " he whispered the name and reached out his finger to gently reach for the cheek of the young girl in the photo, and as soon as he touched it, he quickly withdrew his finger as if he had been burned, "I'll cheer up, I'm sorry. "
He shook his head vigorously, as if this will be able to shake off the excess thoughts, and then silently began to change clothes.
A few hours later, he was on the Atlantic Ocean, emptying his brain and faithfully carrying out his mission. He could operate the Destiny Gundam as easily as waving his hands, and everyone saw him immediately ran away. There was even no person to maintain the Minovsky particle concentration.
Asuka knew that one MS could not change anything, he was just a screw in some huge plan. But just thinking that everything he did made the world a little bit better, he felt full of motivation and could forget all the sad things for a while.
"If Stella could also live in a better world," he unconsciously chanted, "Isn't that thought a little too extravagant "
"Shinn!" Chang Wufei's voice interrupted his rambling thoughts, "An unknown energy source is approaching the mothership at high speed. Your position is closest, hurry up and deal with it."
"Yes!" Shinn instantly came to his senses and headed back in the direction of Iserlohn. No one understood what he was going to do and didn't dare chase after them.
The Destiny Gundam's speed was unparalleled, and it caught the shadow of the enemy MS after only ten seconds. The other side also noticed him and stopped moving to turn around and face him.
"Captain, target spotted, the other side is " Shinn found that he couldn't communicate with Iserlohn, and from the corner of his eye, he quickly noticed the meter of Minovsky particle concentration, "The enemy MS is spreading the Minovsky particles?"
The black MS on the other side began to approach him, and soon, Shinn got a good look at the other side.
"This model is it the Unicorn Gundam-02? I remember it's a melee-type MS, very good performance." The Destiny Gundam immediately stopped approaching and pulled away, then set up the high-energy beam cannon. Shinn looked at the photo posted in the cockpit, which was a photo of him, Stella, and Mayu. The two girls holding one of his arms and smiling brightly, "Anyway, just finish it. I will protect everyone, no one will be hurt this time."
