Chapter 114: Three-Nation Joint Military Exercise (Part 1)

Li Boyong and Shihe continued to stay at the Wang Family Mansion, living their daily lives, occasionally doing some intelligence work, or going on field missions as an insurance device.

The theme of the world today, for some reason, gradually became one of conflict and armed intervention.

People seemed to have completely gotten used to the existence of Celestial Being. Regardless of whether they held good or bad feelings toward Celestial Being, people had to accept one reality: wherever conflict appeared, it would be subject to armed intervention by Celestial Being.

The world had completely become the stage for Celestial Being, and beneath the stage, an undercurrent was surging.

The Human Reform League, the Earth Alliance, and the AEU secretly reached a cooperation, and subsequently announced the notice of a three-nation joint exercise.

The elite units of the three major national groups were quickly mobilized, and various supplies began to be transported, preparing for the exercise.

Human Reform League, Wang Family Mansion.

"Is this the world's other answer?"

Wang Liumei looked at the public announcement of the joint exercise on the screen and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She had already learned of the relevant intelligence and speculation before the public announcement and had reported this important intelligence to Veda. She believed that Sumeragi Lee Noriega must have been mentally prepared long ago.

It was just that when this moment truly arrived, she was still somewhat shaken.

The infighting among the three major national groups had always been the main melody on the world stage.

But now, facing the powerful pressure of Celestial Being, the three major national groups actually had to choose to join forces, and the target was clearly Celestial Being.

"Nearly a thousand MS; this scale of exercise could even fight a Battle of Jachin Due..."

Shihe looked at the report on the news and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Battle of Jachin Due?"

Wang Liumei's puzzled gaze drifted over. Was there a battle of similar scale in human history?

Shihe realized she had made a slip of the tongue and pretended as if she hadn't said anything.

It was just that for some reason, her chest felt tight, as if her heart had been gently pinched by someone, and her whole body felt somewhat numb.

She suspected that if she continued to say a few more words, her body might not be able to withstand the loss of various functions.

Is this the price of revealing intelligence that does not belong to this world?

But why is there no problem using the related technology...

Shihe fell into her own thoughts, while Li Boyong opened his mouth to change the subject: "Speaking of which, this exercise is clearly a trap set for Celestial Being. Do you think Celestial Being will choose to walk into the trap?"

"Probably." Wang Liumei withdrew her gaze. "In order to demonstrate their determination to the world, Celestial Being will definitely choose to enter. It's just that we don't know yet what the trap set by the three nations is this time."

"No matter what it is, Shihe and I won't get involved in this mission. In a battle of that scale, a mere two Flags won't be able to play any role."

Li Boyong raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. That rogue and lazy appearance made Wang Liumei roll her eyes slightly. "Rest assured, I can judge the situation clearly and won't let you go to your deaths."

Saying this, as if it wasn't enough to vent her anger, Wang Liumei added another jab at Li Boyong: "If it comes to the last resort, I will only let you go alone and won't let Sister Shihe encounter any danger."

"Hey, hey, this is too ruthless." Li Boyong complained, then took the opportunity to sweet-talk Shihe: "But if I really encounter that kind of danger, even if I die, I will definitely protect you, Shihe."

Wang Liumei sowed discord: "Sister Shihe, don't believe his sweet talk. This kind of person will definitely abandon you if he encounters danger."

"Haha, Liumei, rest assured, I know better than you how unreliable his sweet talk is." Shihe looked at Li Boyong with a smile, then touched her shoulder that had been wounded by a gunshot.

Li Boyong rolled his eyes slightly; women are indeed creatures that hold grudges.

"However, I also believe that he will protect me well if he encounters danger." Seeing Li Boyong's depressed little look, Shihe changed her tone and smiled: "Of course, it might also be me protecting him."

Li Boyong was even more depressed: "..."

However, it was a bit impossible to refute.

After all, if fighting in space while piloting the same machine, the probability of him not being able to beat Shihe was higher...

Moreover, at this time, yielding to one's girlfriend is the way to long-term peace; the act of refuting is simply not wanting to taste the girlfriend's body.

Seeing Li Boyong being sanctioned by Shihe, Wang Liumei covered her mouth and chuckled, revealing a happy expression.

Amidst the laughter, Hong Long brought new intelligence: "Sumeragi Lee Noriega sent a message that she will bring the command team to the surface to prepare for the next stage of action."

"Got it, leave their itinerary to you to arrange." Wang Liumei stood up and said to Hong Long: "I will start arranging the equipment for the operation."

"Understood." Hong Long bowed and retreated.

Li Boyong looked at Hong Long's departing figure and mourned for this tool-man brother for three seconds; this pair of siblings is also quite twisted...

A few days later, the mighty Ptolemaios bridge crew, led by Sumeragi Lee Noriega, moved into the Wang Family Mansion.

"I have to trouble you again, Wang Liumei." Sumeragi Lee Noriega, dressed like a tourist, took off her sunglasses and said politely upon meeting.

"No need to be polite, this is the duty of us supporters." Wang Liumei replied: "Just like last time, the equipment has all been prepared."

"Really reliable." Sumeragi Lee Noriega nodded, then threw the topic to Li Boyong: "Even excellent to the point of making us ashamed. I express my gratitude here for the assistance with the solar power receiving station last time. The Azadistan situation recovering so well is also thanks to you."

"Sumeragi Lee Noriega, you praise me too much, it was just a small matter." Li Boyong spread his hands.

"I heard about the process from Lockon; your judgment at the time was indeed very accurate." Sumeragi Lee Noriega said.

"Haha, maybe it was just a lucky guess." Li Boyong continued to deal with it: "It's just that I personally believe that economic prosperity is an important condition for maintaining social stability, and the key to Azadistan's economic revitalization is naturally the solar power receiving station."

"As long as there are those things, although they will be constrained by major powers in energy distribution, it is quite beneficial to the national life. As long as everyone accepts and gets used to the benefits brought by solar energy, the overly rigid thinking of the people in that place will naturally change."

"As a result, the people's thinking will gradually get rid of the shackles of faith... Sorry, it seems I said a bit too much."

Li Boyong said a few words without realizing it, and only then realized he had gone off-topic.

"It's okay, this is a very correct judgment, which is why I said your judgment is very correct." Sumeragi Lee Noriega shook her head.

"I also think it's very correct, I have a new level of respect for you." Wang Liumei, who was on the side, was also looking at Li Boyong with surprised eyes. She didn't expect this rogue who was full of egg yolks all day to have such insights.

Li Boyong shrugged; having watched too much Gundam-themed stuff, one would naturally understand some of these things.

Shihe didn't find this strange; she knew very well that Li Boyong was a person with depth of thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sparked a flame with her, a Coordinator, and wouldn't have committed the act of shooting the leader of Blue Cosmos. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
