Outside Fort Doe
It was a days since Major Lelouche received the most shocking news ever, and he was still struggling to actually believe any of it, but it was plain as day, he knew in his heart that beyond those gates lie they true enemy of Azura, and he would expose the monsters for who they are.
"Captain Hunt, round up Bilosecks and Milosy, and come to my tent, we have business to discuss" Lelouche hopped off the radio, it was time to get back to work.
"Sir, reporting as ordered" Captain Hunt chimed, following behind him was the Tech Sergeants, Milosy and Bilosecks.
"We are through the looking glass here, cliche I know, but apt" Lelouche paused. "If we want to see justice, and live to administer it, we are gonna need to prove it, Captain Hunt, I want you to gather men you can trust explicitly, and nobody else, I want you to form a recon team, we need to gather intel, covertly"
Captain Hunt paused..."I don't even know where to start, sir, we have no names, no trail, just a terminal, and a clue"
"I'm aware, I've done some ground work for you, I have intelligence sources and contacts left over my royalty days that operate in this region, they owe me a few favors, mainly for not executing them on the spot like the filthy traitors they are." Lelouche took a deep breathe to prevent his anger from reaching a boil.
"Anyways, are you aware of Mu-Empire/Azura Transnational canal project?"
"The what sir...?"
"It's a project request submitted by a Mu-Empire conglomerate and diplomats to the New Azurian Restoration Government, it calls for New Azura to secede half it's territory, and an Island for the creation of a "Free trade zone" for the purpose of building a canal across New Azura "
"Madness, surely we wouldn't agree to such a thing"
"We already did, Hunt, it was submitted on day 2, and approved on day 3, Rushed as it were"
"Azura was destroyed to build this!!...I can't believe that"
"Believe it, a plan this massive doesn't appear overnight, it takes funding, and years of research and planning, I have on my desk here, the business proposal of a multi-national consortium of business and government interests to build this canal, filed over three years ago, this conspiracy is larger then us all"
"Everyone is in on this?"
"Everyone of importance hunt, this is why the foreign legion was staffed with foreign officers and soldiers, so when the day came, we wouldn't feel a commitment to help new azura, but rather just obey orders and come home, General John Rengal is a wild card that is slowing their plans, the longer he sits in New Azura, the longer it's gonna take for them to complete this deal, New Azura was sold out, not for an ideology, or for misplaced loyalty, but for profit, pure unmitigated greed"
"Bastards, all of them...where do I start"
"I have a list of names, I want these people followed covertly, record everything, as for Bilosecks and Milosy, I have a list of business accounts, the people funding this project, I want the money trail followed to the actors in New Azura, it's a long shot, but maybe this is our ace in the hole"
"You have your assignments, dismissed"
Hunt, Milosy, and Bilosecks exited the tent, and Lelouche sighed, Lelouche had an assignment as well, to alert John Rengal and tell him why it was important for him to stay put in New Azura.
Lelouche got something else from his contact, an older Solmian Cypher Device, the code was old, but the channel would be secure, John Rengal would recognize it, and accept it.
