"The League of Nations has already begun to act. They will pay close attention to and monitor every member of SEELE, and take their own measures to eliminate them when their true colors are revealed. This is a war. Under the shadow of SEELE, a behemoth that has already controlled the world, peace-loving people unite for the future of mankind..."
Fang Zheng put down the feather pen in his hand, and then closed the "Whispering Banner" in his hand. The next moment, the omniscient angel turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
"Phew...I'm so tired."
Feeling the divine power being consumed, Fang Zheng shook his hands. If possible, he really didn't want to use the power of "The Whispering Banner", but he had to. In order to completely eliminate SEELE and its minions without exposing the outside world, it required the cooperation of all parties, and Fang Zheng had been using "The Whispering Banner" to adjust the "inner" of this world these days.
Simply put, this is a cycle involving three parties.
Through the Whispering Banner, Fang Zheng successfully "fabricated" an internal force of the League of Nations that was against SEELE. In fact, these people have always existed, but Fang Zheng used the records of the Whispering Banner to unite them. Now, in this world, there is a three-way game between NERV, SEELE and the anti-SEELE forces, and at this point, it is already the final sprint stage.
And now, the moment of the decisive battle has arrived.
The League of Nations has taken control of NERV through Fang Zheng. But internally, this is still an absolute secret. To put it bluntly, Fang Zheng is now like an imperial envoy holding an imperial edict. This imperial edict cannot be used until the last moment. And Fang Zheng also learned through the "Whispering Banner" that just before he was killed, Ikari Gendō had already broken up with SEELE.
Next, just like in the movie, SEELE will send troops to forcibly occupy NERV.
But this time... they were not facing NERV's pitiful armed forces. In fact, Fang Zheng had already made preparations for this day.
Fang Zheng picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin Youde, how is it?"
“Everything is already set up and ready to go.”
A strong male voice came from the phone.
"Evacuate the residents of Tokyo-3, abandon all defenses on the ground, and move everyone to NERV headquarters. Evacuate all members below D-rank. From now on, NERV headquarters will be completely sealed off."
"I understand, but once the enemy deploys the mecha units..."
"Leave it to EVA."
"yes."
That's right, the army currently occupying NERV headquarters is not the Japanese government's army, but the peacekeeping force of the harmless little white rabbit. After the second impact, Japan needed a lot of resources and financial support to build EVA, so they ceded old Tokyo to the little white rabbit next door.
This unit was the peacekeeping force stationed in old Tokyo. Fang Zheng obtained the command of this unit through his connections within the League of Nations, and before SEELE launched a general attack on NERV, he secretly transported this unit to the headquarters.
After all, most of the staff at NERV had nothing to do with the Human Instrumentality Project. As for those traitors and spies who had something to do with it, they had already been caught and dealt with by Fang Zheng using the Whispering Banner. The rest were basically civilians and technicians. It was obviously irrational to expect this group of people to deal with the military.
This is the whole plan.
In order to completely seize NERV, SEELE will definitely do its best. This means that those people hiding in the shadows must take the initiative this time. In order to capture NERV, they need to issue orders and even show up. And what NERV has to do is to hold out long enough under SEELE's attack. During this time, the anti-SEELE forces in the League of Nations will pay close attention to those guys who jump out, write down their names in a small notebook, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
For Fang Zheng, this is the best solution. Of course, the premise is that NERV must hold on. Because only if NERV holds on, those people will be arrested for various reasons such as waste and unauthorized use of the army. After all, this is not only military, but also political. The interests involved are quite complicated. Even if it is the anti-SEELE faction, it is not that they can overthrow everything by holding high the slogan of peace and justice.
That's why Fang Zheng would use the Whispering Banner to solve the problem, because in this way, SEELE can be completely eliminated, and the Heavenly Dao Palace doesn't need to intervene, and the human beings in this world can still continue to develop. As for EVA and its information, Fang Zheng plans to either destroy it or take it away - anyway, with the Whispering Banner, it's just a matter of Fang Zheng's words to delete as much information as possible.
Next up…
“Beep…beep…!”
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded, interrupting his thoughts. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stood up.
Sure enough, it came just as booked.
When Fang Zheng arrived at the headquarters, the place was already tense and chaotic.
"External communication is unavailable! The entire network data connection to the outside world has been cut off!"
"All external terminals have data intrusions, the goal is to invade MAGI!"
"Where is the source?"
"It can be confirmed that there was an invasion from three directions."
Haha, you’re here just in time.
Hearing this, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He was certain that the senior officials who issued the order were definitely secret members of SEELE. If they were caught this time, they would be dead.
"The Second Tokyo has issued Order A-801! Abolish the special legal protection of the secret agency NERV and transfer its command to the Japanese government."
"Dream on."
Fang Zheng snorted softly.
"Evacuate all personnel, completely blockade NERV's underground headquarters, and cut off all transportation links to the surface. All passages are blocked and self-destruct mode is activated."
"But this will completely cut off NERV's contact with the outside world, and...why aren't Commander Ikari and Vice Commander Fuyutsuki here?"
Fang Zheng did not answer the staff's question, and at this moment, Misato Katsuragi's voice rang out.
"Commander Ikari and Vice Commander Fuyutsuki are not here at the moment. I will temporarily serve as the supreme commander of NERV according to your orders. From now on, the underground city will be sealed off. Execute immediately!"
"yes."
Although he didn't know what was going on, the staff nodded anyway.
"Thanks a lot."
Looking at Misato Katsuragi in front of him, Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"How is it going?"
"So far everything is working fine, now I don't know how long we can support it."
Katsuragi Misato also knew about Fang Zheng's plan, and naturally agreed with it. She was unwilling to sacrifice her colleagues, not to mention that most of the staff in NERV were non-combatants...
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin Youde's troops are already in place."
"Very good. Then I'll leave this to you, Captain Katsuragi."
After saying this, Fang Zheng stood up, turned around and walked into the elevator.
NERV headquarters, helipad 7.
The three EVAs were standing there quietly, along with their pilots.
"I think you all know the current situation."
Looking at the three people in front of him, Fang Zheng spoke, then he looked at Ikari Shinji.
"Shinji, I'm sorry about your father."
“…”
In response to Fang Zheng's words, Ikari Shinji remained silent. To be honest, he was very surprised when he learned of Ikari Gendo's death.
He was not surprised at his father's death, but was surprised... he didn't feel anything at all about his father's death.
In fact, when he learned about his father's death, Shinji Ikari thought about whether he should cry or show some kind of sad emotion. But in fact, he found that he was indifferent. It can even be said that Shinji Ikari felt like an actor standing on the stage, being told "you have to act like a child who lost his father". Although he could act like that, but... deep down, Shinji Ikari did not have the slightest fluctuation for the death of Gendo Ikari.
After all, he had hardly ever lived with his father, and to Shinji Ikari, Gendo Ikari was just a "familiar stranger".
"SEELE has convinced the Japanese government to forcibly occupy NERV headquarters to implement the Human Instrumentality Project. We need to fight against the invaders and engage in battle with them."
Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at the three people in front of him.
"I know this is difficult for you. After all, your enemies this time are not apostles, but fellow human beings. So I am only asking for your opinion. If you are willing, you can board the EVA and go to the battlefield. But if you are not willing, it doesn't matter. After all, you are still children. It's okay to deal with apostles, but killing people... after all, it is not your obligation."
"But if we don't go, who will stop those invaders?"
Asuka frowned and asked.
"I'll send Red Ponytail out. You've seen how powerful she is."
"She? That child is obviously younger than us!"
"She just looks younger. In fact, she is much older than you."
"That won't work either."
Asuka obviously didn't believe Fang Zheng's nonsense, she clenched her fists tightly.
"I still owe her a favor. How can I let her protect us again? I'm going first. Stupid Shinji, what about you guys?"
"I'm going too."
Rei Ayanami answered silently, and Shinji Ikari hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Since you have already made your decision, I will not say anything more."
Fang Zheng reached out and patted the three people on the head.
"You need to remember that this is a war of protection. You need to protect your colleagues who work with you day and night, and protect them from being killed... And this is also for your own benefit."
Having said this, Fang Zheng suddenly waved his hand.
"Okay, let's go!"
"yes!"
