Chapter 839 Two Conditions
"Is Nicol okay?"
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Hui also came to the ward to care about Nicol's condition.
"He lost his right hand and left leg. Who asked this bastard to mind his business?" Isaac looked at Nicol who was receiving treatment in the treatment cabin in the ward through the glass, and blamed himself painfully, because Nicol was injured to save him.
"Enough, Isaac." Diego immediately comforted Isaac's emotions. He knew that Isaac was very self-blaming, but in that situation, Nicol and Isaac were able to survive. It was the best situation. It was not because of how powerful the Vajra they encountered was, but just a stray bullet in the melee. This kind of thing is very dangerous for anyone who encounters it.
"Fortunately, there is a medical cabin in the fortress, otherwise..." Aslan did not finish his words. He and Nicol were good friends. He could not accept that his good friend could only be accompanied by disability for the rest of his life.
"That's good." Yang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. With the medical cabin provided by the fortress, the loss of arms and legs is not a serious injury. It is possible to regenerate the broken limbs. The only thing is that Nicol may have injured his brain nerves. Although the medical cabin can cure it, it will take a long time and may leave sequelae.
"Yang Hui! Where did those bugs go? Tell me! I want to kill them all!" Izak roared.
"Calm down, Izak, this is the medical room!" Diego stopped Izak and advised. Now Nicol is not the only one lying in the medical cabin.
Moreover, Diego knew Izak's impulsive personality. What he said was not just angry words. He really intended to do this, but... their body performance can no longer keep up with the current combat requirements, and they must wait for technological innovation.
In addition, Vajra is not the Earth Union they have fought before. It is a race at the level of the universe overlord. What they encountered today is only a small-scale attack, and the weakest Vajra appeared.
If Izak is really impulsive, it is simply a suicidal behavior.
"Diego is right. Calm down, Isaac. Don't forget our identities."
"...Damn it!" Isaac punched the wall again.
This time, Diego was silent, Aslan and Kira didn't say anything, and even Shihe stood aside with his head down.
They all knew that Isaac really blamed himself. If he hadn't accidentally ignored the stray bullet, how could Nicol be seriously injured to save him?
Not only them, but also others were the same. After experiencing many world missions and fighting against alien civilizations such as ELS, those who survived had already planted the seeds of arrogance in their hearts. Although it has not taken root and sprouted, it also affects them.
This battle awakened everyone. They really walked into the Milky Way and faced the universe's dominant race. They were still very weak.
"I will contact LAI as soon as possible, get the technology of this world, and strengthen your body. Next time, you won't be so passive." Yang Hui promised Isaac.
"You'd better do it, Yang Hui."
"Don't worry."
Yang Hui nodded to everyone and left. He was not only visiting Nicol, but also others. In this battle, many people died and many well-known people were injured, such as Torre and Caruso from the Super Hunter Kaineng World, Norba Xino and Dante Moguro from the Iron-Blooded Orphans World, Canaria from the AGE World, and the second generation three Xiaoqiang from the SEED World, etc.
They were basically hit by stray bullets in the melee, or they were careless and attacked by Vajra.
After spending time visiting the wounded, Yang Hui immediately took Cruze to the main island. He had agreed to meet with Howard Glass.
"Commander Yang Hui, thank you very much for your fleet's help." Howard Glass thanked sincerely. The detailed report of this battle has come to his hands. After reading it carefully, he has become more determined in his thoughts. Vajra has appeared and has targeted the 25th Fleet. He must build a good relationship with the other party, and only by relying on them can he protect the 25th Fleet.
"This is the content of the cooperation. The 25th Fleet is also our home. We will naturally do our best to protect it."
"Well... Commander Yang Hui, I want to deepen the cooperation between your fleet and the 25th Fleet. What do you think?"
"Please go ahead, President Glass."
"I have read the detailed report. This time, thanks to your fleet, we were able to protect the 25th Fleet from Vajra. Although your fleet's equipment is backward, it is worthy of being a fleet that has been wandering in the universe for many years. Its combat quality is far superior to the new integrated army I have accepted. I would like to ask your fleet to integrate into the 25th Fleet and truly become a part of the 25th Fleet."
On the surface, the Promise Corps has joined the 25th Fleet, but in fact it is a cooperative relationship. Howard Glass did not completely disclose the existence of the Promise Corps to the residents of the fleet, and under special circumstances, he also has the power to completely cut off relations with the Promise Corps, cut off supplies, and point his guns at the Promise Corps.
But when the New Unified Army suffered heavy losses and was sure that it had failed to protect the 25th Fleet from Vajra, Howard Glass was willing to put aside his prejudices and even his desire for control and let the Promise Corps completely become a part of the 25th Fleet.
"What do we need to do?" Yang Hui asked Howard Glass. He didn't think Howard Glass would worship the powerful combat power of the Promise Corps just because he saw it in this battle.
"Continue to protect the 25th Fleet at all costs."
"..."
It sounds like Howard Glass's request is the same as before, but it is completely different because there are six more words - at all costs.
If it was before, their cooperation relationship was not mandatory, and both Howard Glass and Yang Hui could unilaterally terminate the cooperation. For example, if the 25th Fleet suffered a devastating blow and the Promise Corps was unable to save the 25th Fleet, the Promise Corps could abandon the 25th Fleet and leave.
Generally speaking, Howard Glass is not worried that the Promise Corps will do this. On the one hand, he has confidence in the new unified army and can resist Vajra's attack. On the other hand, the Promise Corps does not have the FOLD jump ability. How dare they leave the 25th Fleet and continue to drift in the vast universe?
But now it is completely different, because his confidence was destroyed by Vajra, and also because of the combat effectiveness shown by the Promise Corps.
Howard Glass noticed the combat effectiveness of the Promise Corps, so Adrian Angelo of LAI naturally noticed it, and in the battle, the Promise Corps showed a variety of technologies that had never appeared before, such as the high-frequency vibration sword technology that can cut off the heavy Vajra with one sword, the golden light produced in the wings of the [Dawn Gundam], and the golden thin wire that can cut off the Vajra, the floating gun, the solar furnace, the GN force field, etc. Adrian Angelo can't fail to see the value of it.
In this case, it is inevitable that the Promise Corps will cooperate with LAI, and Yang Hui will definitely get the FOLD jump technology in the process of cooperating with LAI, so the 25th Fleet is not necessary for the Promise Corps, and they can leave the 25th Fleet at any time.
"... Two requirements." Yang Hui thought for a while and raised two fingers.
"Please speak."
"First, I want the command of the new unified army... and SMS."
"I can promise you the former, Commander Yang Hui..." The new unified army is already crippled, and Commodore Perry has also clearly reported to him that the fleet command ability of the Promise Corps is far superior to his, and the legendary generals in history are probably at this level.
Not only the fleet command ability, but also the individual combat quality is far superior to the new unified army. Handing the new unified army to Yang Hui can better integrate the Promise Corps into the 25th Fleet, while also improving the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops of the new unified army and better protecting the 25th Fleet.
Howard Glass is happy to see this.
But SMS is not something he can decide.
"... SMS is a private enterprise, you know, I don't have the power to force SMS."
"As long as you agree, I will solve the rest of the things." Yang Hui said seriously to Howard Glass.
SMS is the strongest force of the 25th Fleet. Although they are all small-scale troops, in a battle, especially a large-scale battle, the elite squad is a double-edged sword. If used well, it is a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy. If it is not controlled well, it will hurt oneself before hurting others. Yang Hui will not allow an uncontrollable force to run around in the battlefield.
"If so, then I look forward to it, Commander Yang Hui." Since Yang Hui said so, Howard Glass agreed. Being able to control the wild horse is also what he wants to see.
"Then what about the second thing?"
"Second, my people will join the political core of the 25th Fleet."
"... It seems that Commander Yang Hui is planning... not just a home." At this time, Howard Glass's eyes became sharp.
"It is precisely because we need a home and we must protect it well that I made such a request." Yang Hui replied unyieldingly.
"...I need to think about this matter."
"I hope you can reply as soon as possible, President Glass." Yang Hui took out his PAD and showed the message he had just received to Howard Glass, "This is my greatest sincerity."
"Hehe, little fox." Without looking at the content, just looking at the sender Howard Glass, he was sure that Yang Hui's sincerity was really sincere, but also a threat.
"I hope I can get your reply tomorrow, President Glass." When he stood up and left, Yang Hui said to Howard Glass, "I am the fleet commander, and their lives are on my shoulders. In this respect, I am the same as you, but unlike you, I will not keep evil wolves around me, especially those with white eyes."
Yang Hui left, leaving Howard Glass sitting alone in his office thinking, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on him through the window, cold, sharp, and deep.
