Schneizel sat in the office and looked at the report in his hand, then signed and sealed each one, how much was lost, how much was sacrificed, what arrangements will be made next, whether it can be restored to its original state, Schneizel dealt with many things.
It’s not complicated to be handy.
Looking at the various numbers that appeared on the damage report, for Schneizel, they were really just numbers.
At this time, President Glass was already admitted to the hospital with a cigar in his mouth. He was fine and had no injuries. He was just frightened during the transfer process after the attack on the convoy and needed to rest. Therefore, the current size of the convoy
Everything was left to Schneizel, and for a time Catherine thought that Glass was just trying to be lazy, so he pretended to be sick and rested.
Catherine watched Schneizel sign a series of notices representing sacrifice and death with a calm expression. The thick stack made Catherine's heart tremble.
After all the documents were signed, Schneizel capped the pen and looked at Catherine standing in front: "What are the arrangements for the investigation team now?"
Catherine quickly stood up straight and said: "Adjutant Schneizel, according to your wishes, you have taken over all the ships of the investigation team and restricted the freedom of movement of all personnel, including the captains and commanders of the ships of the investigation team and Commodore Falco.
They have all been taken away and detained at a place arranged by us."
Schneizel nodded slightly and stood up: "Invite Brigadier General Franco over, to be polite."
"Yes." Catherine saluted Schneizel, picked up the things on the table and turned around to leave.
But when he opened the office door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Schneizel: "Assistant Schneizel, is this attack really because of the investigation team? Are they really colluding with Galaxy?
But why does Brigadier General Franco keep shouting that they are being plotted by Dawn?"
Schneizel walked towards the window, and a magnetic voice sounded in the room: "I don't know what all this is about, but the fleet was attacked, and the new MACROSS-class battleship was captured by Galaxy without our knowledge.
And it can be confirmed that it almost became a weapon that destroyed the fleet. The rest needs to be investigated by ourselves."
"Whether it's Dawn, Galaxy, or the investigation team, we will eventually get the real answer as to who is the innocent among the three parties. But in the current situation, I think it is best for the crew that Dawn is innocent.
Okay, otherwise we will really be in a situation where no one can trust us due to internal and external troubles. At least we need a trustworthy ally."
"Yes!" Catherine stood up straight and responded loudly, then hesitated and said: "Assistant Schneizel, according to the current situation, the fleet can only last for half a year."
Schneizel glanced at the pictures outside the window that were damaged by the battle, and turned back to Catherine: "I will confirm with President Glass about this. As far as I know, the fleet has been storing energy a long time ago.
Now that we can carry out forced ultra-long-distance FOLD voyages, I believe we will find a planet that is large enough to accommodate our Frontier within half a year."
"Understood."
The office door closed, and Schneizel looked out the window again.
Schneizel's office is not the presidential palace, but the tallest building located in the middle of the city on the main island. The view naturally allows Schneizel to clearly see the destruction of the city. Even this building
Itself... At this time, someone was still dealing with the body of vajra stuck in the building.
"Half a year is still a little full."
………………………………
When Brigadier General Franco was politely invited to Schneizel's office, Schneizel had already prepared black tea and refreshments for the brigadier general from the Central United Army.
After Franco walked in, Schneizel invited Franco to sit down and asked the others to leave.
Commodore Franco is definitely in a very unhappy mood now. Although he is wearing the uniform of the New United Army, his identity has become a prisoner of the fleet.
When there were only two people left in the room, Franco roared in a deep voice: "Schneizel! Do you know what you are doing!"
Schneizel raised his hand and motioned Franco to sit down again: "Don't be impatient. At this time, Brigadier General, you should stay calm rather than angry. Anger will only bring greater misunderstandings and conflicts, and cannot be used like reason.
to solve the problem.”
Schneizel sat down and poured Franco a cup of tea: "Please."
Franco sat down with gritted teeth: "You are declaring war on the new unity!"
"You don't need to worry about this, Brigadier General Franco. Regarding the collusion between the investigation team and Galaxy, we have already compiled the information and can report it to the central government at any time."
Schneizel looked at Franco and said: "After all, judging from the current situation, Brigadier Franco, you are indeed very suspicious. The tentative attack on the insect nest was a resolution that you forcibly passed, but not long after you left
Then this place was suddenly attacked, Brigadier Franco, don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence?”
Franco slammed the table heavily: "Can't you see it yet! It's all planned by people from Dawn! They are heroes and our investigation team has now become traitors! Don't you Frontiers see that there is something wrong with this!
"
Schneizel said calmly: "We will investigate if there is a problem. Now we invite Brigadier General here just in the hope that we can communicate in a better way instead of holding a formal inquiry hearing, so I hope that Brigadier General Franco can control himself
I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to communicate with each other if this continues."
Franco clenched his fists to control his emotions. After taking a few heavy breaths, Schneizel said in a deep voice, "What do you want to know?"
Schneizel smiled slightly and said: "Brigadier General Franco, whether the matter can be properly handled now that it has reached this stage, Brigadier General, you should know the consequences, so being honest with each other will be of greater help to you. My first
The problem is the investigation team’s intelligence source.”
Franco closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "We obtained it from unknown persons after arriving at Frontier."
"What's the specific content?"
"Related research information on FOLD crystals, technology, dimension devourers and vajra."
Schneizel raised the cup and took a sip, then looked at Franco: "That's it? I want to remind Brigadier General Franco that everything in the investigation team is now under our supervision, and we can also take action against Brigadier General Franco at any time.
Searching and confirming the room, and cracking Brigadier Franco's personal computer to read information from it is only one of the steps."
"Frontier can now enter a state of war at any time. If the situation we find is not consistent with what you said, Brigadier General Franco, then we will execute you after notifying the central government."
Franco opened his eyes suddenly, leaned forward, and said word by word: "You are threatening me!"
"No, I'm not a threat. I'm not very good at threatening people." Schneizel shook his head slightly and said: "Compared with the losses we suffered today and the countless soldiers and citizens we lost, I think this is
What we should do, I believe that the central government will definitely support Frontier’s approach.”
"I think Brigadier-General, you still don't quite understand your current situation. Frontier needs an explanation, and the central government also needs an explanation. When you can't get an explanation from other people, Brigadier-General, you will be the one to give the explanation, and you will be the one for everyone.
Human steps, Galaxy, Frontier, central unity, you will be the sinner."
Franco suddenly thought of the possibility mentioned by Schneizel, and his whole body shook as if from a heavy blow, and then he leaned against the sofa without any strength.
"Galaxy...and Galaxy, all Galaxy's plans." Franco murmured these words, but then he jumped up and grabbed the armrest of the sofa tightly: "Dawn,
There is also Shuguang’s information, there is definitely something wrong with this company!”
Schneizel said quite interestingly: "Can I ask if there is any problem with the part about Dawn?"
Franco said in a deep voice: "As for their illegal research and artificial intelligence, don't you think Sugon is the strangest in it? Sugon is involved in all coincidences."
Schneizel was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Comrade General Franco has over thought it. There is no problem with Suguang. Suguang has been under Frontier's surveillance from the beginning to the end. Although Suguang has not disclosed the internal situation to the outside world,
It's all open to President Glass and me."
"Although Shuguang's Harrow robot is indeed a bit over the top, it is not to the extent that it must be banned. It is just an auxiliary tool at the level of a children's toy. As for the rest, I can only say that I have no comment."
Franco was a little stunned: "You?"
But Schneizel would not give him a chance to think about it, but continued: "According to what you said, Brigadier General Franco, you knew that there was a problem with Galaxy from the beginning, and you also knew about the situation of Galaxy and Planet 4.
, and then continuing your so-called investigation operation is actually against vajra rather than the incident itself. I am very curious about what Brigadier General Franco wants to achieve through this test operation."
Franco frowned slightly and looked directly at Schneizel: "Contacting new races and determining their threats and whether they can communicate are also the original tasks of our investigation team, and even take over the integration of the Frontier fleet when necessary.
The military is also within our scope of power, and all this is for the sake of new integration and to avoid the trouble caused by the few to the many."
Schneizel nodded: "Understandable. The last question is, how much does Brigadier General Franco know about the FOLD crystal?"
Franco said decisively: "This is confidential."
Schneizel said indifferently: "This is also Brigadier Franco's guarantee of your life. Brigadier General, you can rest assured that today's conversation will only be known to the two of us. But if Brigadier General Franco doesn't speak, then I don't have much to do."
, of course, I cannot guarantee that the spies within the convoy may silence the Commodore in order to maintain confidentiality."
Franco gritted his teeth: "While humans are exploring many planets, they have also discovered some relics left by primitive civilizations on some planets. FOLD crystals have been found in these relics. Although the number is small, it is enough.
The central government has jointly conducted research on these crystals and confirmed that this crystal will become the highest-level strategic material, but unfortunately, it has been unable to find a stable or stable source of this crystal."
"After learning that this kind of crystal can be produced in vajra's body, it is very likely that even vajra's home planet can stably excavate usable crystals. The rest... Even if I don't say that, Assistant Schneizel, you should
Understand."
Schneizel nodded: "Someone gave you an order, Nova Heavy Industries? The person Frontier and you have been in contact with is Nova Heavy Industries?"
Franco's expression instantly became astonished. Although he didn't say anything, Schneizel had already seen something from it.
"Thank you, Brigadier General, for your candor." Schneizel smiled slightly and said, "In fact, we have also investigated quite a lot of information. I can tell you, Brigadier General, that you were used by Galaxy and some people at the same time. In this case,
The Brigadier General will definitely become the scapegoat in the incident. You can react to these issues when you go back and think about them carefully. Of course, this must be based on the premise that Shuguang really has no problem."
"There is really no problem with Shuguang. Shuguang is Frontier's shipping company. However, I can guarantee that if Commodore Franco agrees to cooperate, Frontier will ensure that nothing happens to you. Now Frontier's new MACROSS
We have also lost our most important commander, Brigadier General, maybe you can consider this."
After speaking, Schneizel stood up and stretched out his hand towards Franco: "That's it for today. Brigadier General, you can go back and think about it."
Franco was sent out with a look of astonishment that he couldn't hide. After closing the door, Schneizel took out his phone and contacted Cruze. The first thing he said was: "It is indeed Nova Heavy Industries."
"As expected, the only force left that can manufacture that kind of thing and cover up Galaxy is Xinxing Heavy Industries. The rest will be left to you."
Schneizel laughed: "Taking action against Nova Heavy Industries now is nothing less than provoking the New Unification."
"It's normal to do anything at this time. They will swallow their breath and turn a blind eye, and they will also smile and send more supplies as if nothing happened. But it can't be like this. There will always be someone because of the heavy...
Take responsibility for the situation.”
Schneizel: "Oh, everything went so smoothly. Mr. Kruse, your strategy is really admirable."
"There is no need to be polite about these words. Without the influence of something like GEASS, Schneizel's strategy is definitely top-notch. It's just that you met an opponent you shouldn't have met in the first place."
Schneizel said: "Suddenly I am very curious about what Master Xiao Yun will do."
"Him?" Kruse paused and said, "Who knows, maybe he is not as good as me when it comes to ruthlessness, but when it comes to being sinister, he is far better than me." (End of Chapter)
