Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 661: Boomerang of Destiny (IV)

In response to the Earth Church's request for a meeting, the Kingdom of Scandinavia finally approved Frey's request. Even though the Kingdom did not lose out in the war of public opinion with the help of Orb, it was undeniable that people were dying at the border, and they were dying every day and every moment.

Among the three old federations, East Asia was basically not affected by the war because it formed the People's Revolutionary League with countries such as Orb. The only Kaohsiung Spaceport was lost too early and did not cause too many casualties.

As for North America, thanks to the Atlantic base and the operation of LOGOS, there has been no collapse of order in at least a few traditional urban areas. However, the last base camp, Washington, was hit by a satellite cannon from the sky, which caused the largest number of civilian casualties since the war with the People's Revolutionary League.

Compared with the previous two regimes, the situation of Eurasia was much worse. First, its main force was sold out by Atlantic in Alaska in 71, and then the remaining troops were hit by a Genesis at the lunar base. The assets they had accumulated for two years were exhausted in the protracted war with PLANT. Until the Earth Federation was wiped out by Aslan in Iceland, the Eurasian government completely lost its last deterrent power and fell into a fragmented state.

In this long war, it was not only the Earth forces that were dragged down. Almost a generation of PLANT was also wiped out. Although the Council would not publicize these figures, when Aslan was chatting with his old military academy classmates, he gave a somewhat helpless result of "half of them were killed". Considering the casualty ratio of Cruze's team that year, this result is basically not much different from the actual situation.

In addition to the population problem, the transformation of a large amount of production capacity towards military industry is also a sequelae. Although PLANT did not stop trade with the Earth Sphere during the war, it is undeniable that under the premise of limited resources, it is an indisputable fact that priority is given to military-industrial enterprises.

This kind of adjustment of the industrial chain cannot be achieved by just saying so. Over a year has passed since the end of the lunar orbit campaign, and PLANT has barely increased its total energy exports to twice the wartime level. However, facing the Earth, which is covered with neutron jammers, a mere doubling of exports is simply not enough to fill its bottomless appetite before the solar orbital elevator is officially put into operation.

Therefore, the reason why Scandinavia was able to withstand this wave of public opinion offensive was not only because Orb had exposed Van Dyson's underwear, but also because the main culprits for the shortage of earth resources were none other than the Earth Union and PLANT. If we dig deeper, Lindeman wouldn't mind bringing up this topic to see who is actually responsible for this.

“The military attaché is Kira? That Kira Yamato?”

Although the kingdom agreed to Frey's request for a meeting, it basically gave a strict rule on the entry requirements. Frey's entire team cannot exceed 5 people, and bringing MS into the country is not allowed. This is the bottom line given by Lindemann.

The basis for establishing this limitation is actually a series of performances that Siegfried pressed and rubbed at the founding ceremony of the compass. To outsiders, it seemed that Siegfried swept the entire compass alone. After all, he first picked Shura and then killed Kira, and finally destroyed Orphee's descendants with a kick, which was a crushing victory.

But the problem is that there are only three perverts like Siegfried in the world, one of whom is still in Compass. Among the remaining two, Aslan has a complete quota, Mu and Shin Asuka each have 3, and even Shin Asuka himself can't replicate his clone.

Therefore, there is no way that Lars would allow Luo Pan to smuggle his own agenda. Frey could solve the refugee problem, but she must either enter the country empty-handed or there is no talk at all. As a victim who almost fell into the same trap during the Berlin talks, if Lars fell into the same pit twice, he might as well abdicate and have children.

"Except for Kira, they are all new faces. We cannot rule out the possibility that there are new tuners among them. Sir Lindemann, have you installed the shielding device?"

"Everything has been installed. The entire palace is within the shielding range. No one, including you, can perform mind reading in this area."

With a better understanding of the Tuner, Hilde upgraded the shielding necklace of Ras in the gap of developing MS. After the size was enlarged dozens of times, the shielding range was also expanded dozens of times, successfully creating a fantasy forbidden magic field in a technological world. However, this technological method of banning magic still has certain limitations. First of all, the production capacity cannot be increased, which means that it is destined to be unable to be installed on a large scale. At present, all Hilde can do is to let each member of the Celestial Being team have one.

In addition, for transformers who use brain quantum waves, the effect of the pendant will become negligible. Mu has resonated with Shin Asuka's brain quantum waves more than once when both parties were wearing shields. To some extent, this technology that refuses to communicate is actually reversing the world of Gundam.

"Reina, tell the Royal Guards to prepare and arrest Kira directly when the time comes."

As the due date approached, Las's mood was affected to a certain extent. In the past, she would never make the decision to detain someone directly, but now, as she touched her belly and thought about the fact that the father of the child was still in a coma, and that Kira was separated from the MS, it was almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she decided to detain the person first and then talk about other things.

"Should we discuss this with Miss Lux?"

"Don't you think Lux did this just to make it easier for us to detain people?"

Almost everyone in the know knows that a big part of the reason why Lacus stayed in Berlin was for Kira. After all, Kira's current condition is no longer just the result of artificial mental hypnosis.

After Frey appeared, he fell deeper and deeper into the mental dilemma he had created. If it was just simple hypnosis or deception, Lacus could still pull Kira back with her ability as a Tuner, but now this situation where reality was mixed with misleading lies made Lacus feel helpless.

Strike first, this is the principle of life that Queen Winslet learned from Siegfried. If WWK could leave the earth as soon as possible after developing Baku in cooperation with ZAFT, then perhaps Lars' parents would still be alive now, and Lars would not have been captured and taken to South America for inhumane human experiments.

"Then the next question is."

After using her authority as the queen to determine the outcome of Kira's treatment, Las turned her gaze to her side, where Mayu Asuka, dressed in court attire, was standing there with a gloomy expression.

"It's Frey who's here. Although she's a copy, you know, a copy is actually no different from the real person, so I suggest you go back to Orb. I have Reina with me, and they don't even have a MS this time, so nothing will happen."

It is well known that half of Mayu's suffering comes from the Atlantic Federation, and the other half is the revenge of the original Frey. Las asked herself that if it were her, she would never be so generous as to forgive Frey just because of the copy, so she suggested that Mayu should try to avoid this meeting.

"I want to stay. For the sake of Mayu, I want to make a break with her!"
