Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 356 Orb's Decision

After a short wait and a few days of sailing, Aslan, Nigel and Diego also landed on the earth, bringing brand new Justice Gundam, Covenant Gundam and Rebirth Gundam.

"Aslan, what shall we do next?" Nigel asked. Aslan is still the captain of the three-person team. Find the location of Freedom Gundam, investigate those people and facilities who have been in contact with it, and then make a decision.

"...Let's go to the Marshall Islands first." Aslan decided, they didn't have any clues about Liberty Gundam, and instead of wasting time looking for a needle in a haystack, they might as well do what they want before waiting for clues from the intelligence agency.

"The Marshall Islands..."

Although Nigel didn't participate, he also heard about the final battle between Strike Gundam and Holy Shield Gundam from Aslan and Diego, and also knew that the pilot of Strike Gundam was Aslan's good friend , although the other party is still alive, but... Aslan probably wants to remember it.

"Let's go." Diego had no objection to this. He was humiliated in the Marshall Islands, but after going through so many things, he didn't feel humiliated, but complicated and didn't know how to face it. , Maybe revisiting the old place can bring him a little guidance.

The three of them set off directly after deciding, and did not arrange a transport plane to escort them. After all, the three planes are all nuclear-powered aircraft. The Justice Gundam has its own auxiliary flight system [Destiny-00]. Using an energy conduction line to connect the aircraft and the body can also achieve permanent endurance.

The three airframes set off from the Carpentaria base. In order to avoid a fight with Orb, they chose to make a big circle from Zealand.

Arriving in the Marshall Islands, Aslan saw the wreckage of Aegis Gundam scattered everywhere, but did not see the wreckage of Strike Gundam and Storm Gundam.

"It should have been recovered by Orb, right? After all, there is still the possibility of repairing it." Diego said, the reason why the Holy Shield remained in place was because it exploded into fragments, and there is no meaning of recycling.

The three of them circled the island for a week and saw a hut, so they planned to get off the plane to visit, but who knew that the owner of this hut was actually their acquaintance, Mentor Marchio, and there were a few people who were afraid of him by his side. little child.

All three of them knew Mentor Marchio, and they bowed down to salute him at the same time.

Knowing who the visitor was, Marchio Mentor brought the three of them to the hut where he lived.

At this time, the TV in the house was broadcasting the news of Orb. The third and fourth naval fleets of the Atlantic Federation went south, stopped outside the border of Orb's territorial waters, and sent a request to Orb, asking Orb to dismiss Ren As Representative Kazakhstan and the parliament were immediately disbanded, Yang Hui himself was dismissed from all positions, and he was escorted to the front of the Atlantic Federation. At the same time, he also demanded the disbandment of all the troops.

This request, not to mention Aub, is impossible for any force to accept. This is not to force Aub to submit, but to destroy Aub's country!

Anyone who is not a fool can see that the Atlantic Federation didn't give Aub any chance at the beginning, and it was clear that they wanted to beat you!
"It seems that a war is inevitable, Orb and the Earth Army." Instructor Marchio sighed helplessly after hearing the news, "People can easily become enemies."

"Why did Orb and the Earth Army..."

The three of them can actually see the reason. They also know that Panama has been captured. The Earth Army has lost all its mass accelerators, and the mass accelerator owned by Orb is the best target.

However, not long ago, Orb became an enemy of ZAFT and took the territory of Papua New Guinea from ZAFT. They all thought that even if Orb wanted to join the war, he would join the Earth Army to deal with them , but now...

"Hehe, is this neutral?" Diego smiled wryly. Before, he really looked down on Aub's behavior of being both right and wrong and pretending to be aloof, but looking at it now.... Respect.

At this moment, a little boy came to them and yelled at them: "Bastard ZAFT! I will kill you all when I grow up!"

After yelling, he kicked Diego, and then ran away angrily.

"Don't make trouble!" Instructor Marchio reprimanded, and then apologized to the three of Aslan, "I'm really sorry, he lost his parents in the battle when you captured Carpentaria."

"..." The three of them were silent, and these words were another blow to their shaking hearts.

"It's easy to expand the fire of war, but it's even more difficult to extinguish it."

"...Thank you for your guidance." The three of them bowed to Teacher Marchio to express their gratitude, feeling the fearful and hateful eyes of the children. They didn't want to stay here any longer, and...

"What to do?" Diego asked Aslan.

"War... has always been so cruel." The gentle Nigel couldn't bear it. He was still such a young child and lost his parents because of the war. Of course, but... that cry and hatred eyes still hurt his heart.

"Go to Orb." Aslan decided.

"Are you going to fight?" Diego asked Aslan.

"I don't know, but... I think we should take a look, maybe... we will find the answer."

"..." Nigel and Diego were silent, and finally nodded. They have not been able to make a final choice until now, but they all want to visit Aub, see Aub's persistence, and see Aub Let's see how far Aub, a country that they love and hate, can go and what kind of character it will show.

Maybe...they can really find the answer they want.

……

The fleet of the Atlantic Federation was approaching, and it was impossible for Orb to be unaware of it. After receiving the ultimatum from the Atlantic Federation, even Uzmi and Yang Hongyu, who had always been well-educated, couldn't help being furious.

"Ultimatum!?"

"Your country turned a deaf ear to the current world situation, gave up its responsibilities and obligations as an earth country, and insisted on choosing to be alone, even in spite of our repeated requests, and still refused to cooperate. Now the United Earth Army will represent other member states to the Orb United The Emirate makes the following demands:

[-]. The current government of the United Arab Emirates resigns immediately.

[-]. Disarm the country and disband the army.

[-]. Yang Hui was relieved of all duties and escorted to the Third Fleet of the Atlantic Federation.

If the above requirements are not met within 48 hours, the Earth Alliance will regard Orb as a country supporting ZAFT and confront it by force. "

After reading the official statement from the Atlantic Federation, the representative of Homla threw it on the table, feeling helpless in anger.

"What kind of request is this!? This is to let Orb destroy the country! Once Panama fell, didn't they even do superficial work!? Those bastards of the Atlantic Federation!"

"The fleet of the Atlantic Federation has gone south to the Pacific Ocean."

"What they want is the mass accelerator, [Dawn Society] and... Yang Hui."

"Impossible to agree!" Yang Hongyu saw that the eyes of some of the people present were loose, and he slapped the table and stood up and shouted, no matter whether he was a high-level executive of Orb or a father, it was impossible for him to agree.

"But... even if we solemnly protest these unreasonable demands, no country dares to defy the Atlantic Federation. The Eurasian Federation has always been the dog's leg of the Atlantic Federation, and the East Asian Federation is also exhausted. Kingdoms and other countries that have insisted on implementing neutrality have also joined the Earth Alliance, it seems that we have to make a choice."

"ZAFT learned of the situation and has sent a proposal for talks from the Carpentaria base. The statement said that as long as we withdraw from Papua New Guinea, returning the Torres Strait and the Gulf of Papua can help us."

"Does the Atlantic Federation have to divide the world into two!?" Uzmi cursed, and at the same time questioned everyone present, "We are either friends or enemies, and we, Orb, must abandon our ideas and laws. Let them be at their mercy, to fight against the forcibly assigned enemy?"

"Joining the alliance means making enemies of PLANT; joining PLANT means making enemies of the alliance. Even if you join the alliance now and avoid the immediate disputes, Orb will be gone, and you will repeat the mistakes of Panama in a blink of an eye! "Yang Hongyu continued, "Didn't we make a choice a long time ago, didn't we!?"

With a question, those with firm eyes remained firm, while those with wavering eyes lowered their heads in shame.

That's right, they didn't make a choice long ago, did they?For Orb's new life, for the inherited fire, they have already decided their own ending.

"Representative Yang Hongyu, how is the asylum transfer of citizens going?" Uzmi asked.

"The last batch of nationals who are willing to retain Orb's citizenship have been sent away."

"...What about those who don't want to?"

"The evacuation notice was issued three days ago, and they all left. Now only 3% of the citizens in the country are unwilling to leave..."

Speaking of this, Yang Hongyu is proud, Uzmi is also proud, and everyone present is proud. The 3% of citizens who are unwilling to leave are those who are determined to live and die with Orb, although only 3% , but this is also the greatest recognition for them, and the best comfort and affirmation for Aub, which shows that Aub's philosophy is not wrong!
"Let them leave." Uzmi finally decided that although he was happy that some citizens were willing to live and die with the country, they were all precious fire seeds. For Orb's Nirvana, they should go to leave the country to take refuge and wait The right opportunity to return to Orb.

"I have sent people to persuade me many times, but they just refused to leave, alas." Yang Hongyu said with a headache.

"Have you notified Yang Hui?"

"Already notified."

"How did he say?"

"He said... tie him to a boat and send him away."

"Eh..." Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly. It has to be said that this approach is very Yang Hui.
