Chapter 266: Incorporating the White Whale

Inside the *Minerva* hangar.

Shihe was adjusting the freshly arrived Abyss Impulse. As a technician who had participated in the development of the Abyss Gundam and the original test pilot of the Abyss Gundam.

This Abyss Impulse naturally became Shihe's mobile suit, largely making up for the limitations of that ceremonial GINN on Shihe's piloting skills.

However, as a test pilot who had participated in the development of the mobile suit.

Shihe also knew very well that the performance of this Abyss Impulse was not as powerful as Nicol had introduced.

First of all, the Abyss Impulse was actually just one of a series of technical verification mobile suits at the beginning. Other mobile suits in the series also included the Chaos Impulse and Gaia Impulse, aiming to maximize the versatility of the Impulse Gundam.

However, it was a pity that the performance of the Impulse equipped with three types of backpacks in various terrains was actually not satisfactory.

For example, the performance of the Abyss Impulse in water was actually not as good as the Abyss Gundam.

At the same time, as a technical verification machine.

Out of budget considerations, the main body of the Abyss Impulse possessed the same VPS armor and Deuterion Beam energy transfer system as the Impulse Gundam, but did not adopt the frame of the Core Splendor and multi-part combination.

Of course, no matter what, it was much stronger than the ceremonial GINN.

*Tap tap tap*, Shihe's hands kept tapping on the keyboard, but her thoughts couldn't help but think of a certain rascal again.

"Hey, the internal cockpit is really the same as the Impulse."

While she was thinking about her thoughts, Shihe heard Shinn's voice.

Looking up, Shinn was standing at the exit of the cockpit, looking curiously at the interior of the Abyss Impulse's cockpit.

Sure enough, he was a kid...

Behind Shinn stood Luna, who waved at Shihe with a smile and then threw a bottle of water to Shihe.

"Thanks, I was just thirsty."

Shihe reached out to catch the water and asked Shinn, who was looking around: "Coming here specifically, as a senior who pilots the Impulse, do you have any pointers?"

Shinn stepped back after hearing this and observed the external structure of the Abyss Impulse seriously: "No, I just came to recognize the mobile suit, so I don't mistake it for an Abyss and shoot it down."

Luna's eyebrows jumped when she heard Shinn's answer, and she stared at Shinn fiercely.

You bastard, if you can't talk, don't talk!

Shihe, who was drinking water, almost choked.

This arrogant tone, this stinky kid's personality was really not generally twisted; she really admired Athrun for being able to endure it during this period.

"Why, Luna, why are you staring at me like that?"

Shinn noticed Luna's gaze and was surprised.

"Nothing, just looking at a fool."

Luna curled her lips and said honestly.

"What does fool mean?" Shinn was unhappy.

"Literal meaning."

"You bastard! Try staring at me again."

"Try it if you want."

They were arguing again...

Shihe looked at the two troublemakers with a headache. Luna was usually quite serious, but she often couldn't control her emotions when she met Shinn.

Perhaps, this could also be considered Shinn's talent.

Looking at the two arguing, Shihe's mouth involuntarily brought a motherly smile.

In the sea area around the island base under construction in the Pacific, Li Boyong's fleet was docked here for repairs.

On the flagship *Jones*, Jane, nicknamed "White Whale," was listening to the latest order from military headquarters conveyed by Li Boyong's adjutant.

"Effective today, the surviving units of the 1st Submarine Branch of the Pacific 6th Fleet are officially incorporated into the 81st Independent Mobile Group, under the command of Colonel Neo Roanoke."

Following the reading of Li Boyong's adjutant, Jane's expression gradually became subtle.

She and her surviving subordinates were just incorporated into Phantom Pain like this?

Since when did Phantom Pain, which always prided itself on being elite, look up to the cannon fodder of the regular military?

Speaking of which, most of the members of this fleet were also drawn from the regular military, which was really strange.

"Reply?"

Seeing Jane stunned after hearing the order, the adjutant who looked exactly like the perverted Gates shouted.

"Understood, my unit is effective immediately under the command of the 81st Independent Mobile Group, Colonel Neo Roanoke."

Jane accepted the order with a military salute; she knew she had no power to defy the order of military headquarters and could only accept this order.

"Very good, from now on, the underwater escort of this fleet will be left to you," the perverted adjutant returned the salute, "Please don't live up to the Colonel's expectations. Perhaps the Colonel specifically asked military headquarters for you because he saw the courage you had to turn defeat into victory in the previous battle."

"... I will definitely try my best."

So it was that masked man playing tricks...

Forget it, fighting under the hero who saved the world, the treatment shouldn't be bad.

Since things had come to this, Jane could only comfort herself like this.

On the other side, Li Boyong was in his room, conducting a communication with Wang Liumei.

On the other side of the screen, Wang Liumei was wearing a sexy yet cute swimsuit, strolling on the beach under the blue sky and white clouds, looking at ease, as if the war currently happening had nothing to do with her.

"According to Flay Allster's information, she didn't find news of Natarle Badgiruel in Orb," Wang Liumei said while holding the communicator, strolling on the beach, "It seems your old lover should have left Orb with the *Archangel*, and now she's hiding in some corner of the Pacific. It seems you won't be able to contact her for a short time."

What do you mean "my old lover"? How come I hear a bit of jealousy in this...

Li Boyong complained inwardly and said: "I see, I will think of other ways to contact her."

After a pause, Li Boyong asked again: "As for the moderates, how is your contact?"

"The other party is very wary of me, a member of LOGOS, but with the assistance of Flay's aunt, it can be considered a preliminary contact," Wang Liumei seemed to be tired of walking, so she walked to the beach chair and lay down, drinking coconut water at ease, and continued: "It's just that I think it will take a long process of mutual trust to talk about some in-depth cooperation."

"You can continue to contact them. Although the moderates don't occupy many important positions in the military and political circles of the Atlantic Federation, they have considerable energy in public opinion," Li Boyong analyzed: "This is what we currently lack, so we need to try our best to win them over. And in opposing Blue Cosmos, we have a consistent attitude inherently."

"I know all of these." Wang Liumei lay on the beach chair, stretched comfortably, and the lazy nasal sound revealed a bit of seductive sweet breath: "In terms of political talent, you are only worthy of being my younger brother, so don't point fingers; just rest assured and fight your big battle with your unit."

*Tch*, this dead girl speaks too bluntly...

Li Boyong clicked his tongue. ===== CHAPTER 267 =====
