Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 674: In Siegfried's Absence

In the end, Mina's proposal received more than half of the confirmation votes. After the result was settled, her political opponents did not say much. After all, the scene of Siegfried overturning the table had taught them what it meant to behave with one's tail between legs.

The six words "follow the rules of the game" do not mean that these politicians have high moral standards. It is simply because only if everyone abides by the rules, they will not be wiped out by some red-haired ruffian.

"So, now we win?"

After exiting the virtual conference room, Hilde stared at Mina with a slightly silly look. After all, politics was a little too far away for scientists. In her opinion, since the proposal had been passed, the subsequent election should obviously not be a problem.

"I can only say that I have gained a temporary advantage, but I am still a long way from victory. People are very realistic, not to mention those old foxes. Since Siegfried fell into a coma, many people have tried to get inside information from me. Although it seems that there are more people supporting me at the moment, no one can predict what will happen until the day when the votes are announced."

After two major wars in three years, countless ace pilots emerged in both the Earth Union and PLANT. But no matter how amazing these people were, there was always an insurmountable chasm standing in front of all the ACEs, and that was the Three Mythical Gods.

The three mythical gods in a broad sense can be known from the name. They are separate categories specially designed for Kira, Aslan, and Siegfried. However, later on, Mu relied on his outstanding performance when driving Aoi Mansa, and awakened the Transformer with the qualifications of a natural person after the war, and he was also considered to have entered this division.

In addition, because Shin Asuka did not put in an extremely godly performance in the Lunar Orbit Battle, and even because he and Aslan failed to stop Siegfried, his reputation was somewhat damaged, so the outside world only regarded him as a rising star. Only the Orb side knew that the current Shin Asuka is fully capable of competing with the traditional three mythical gods.

"The other party now has a copy of Siegfried. Even if we assume that he cannot quantize, based on Siegfried's initial talent, at least his level will not be too bad. In addition, you know more about the information of the Providence Gundam than I do. If Athrun had not joined in time in 71, that Cruze could even have shot down Kira Yamato."

"Not to mention the Shura in the Tuner. Shin Asuka may not be his opponent without the bonus of special abilities. And Orphee, I don't believe he can't pilot a MS. So currently we are 3 to 3 with Luo Pan in terms of cutting-edge combat power. It is not known whether Canard can beat Orphee yet. So Tianren does not have enough advantage to crush the opponent. We may even be at a relative disadvantage."

"We also have Idiot No. 3, Blonde No. 4, and Green-haired No. 5."

"First of all, I don't admire your ability to come up with nicknames. Secondly, the people you mentioned, namely Londo Bell who is the backup, are not strong enough for Kira to defeat together. Although I don't think Kira will be involved with Lacus, it's always better to be cautious. As long as Siegfried is asleep, we can't let our guard down. In the final analysis, political propositions and interest exchanges are nothing without the ballast of absolute force!"

"Then why didn't you let me make the news about the satellite microwave cannon public?"

"Because this news can't deal a fatal blow to Van Dyson. On the contrary, it will make our position extremely passive. There must be someone behind the scenes who is plotting this. The timing of the Federation of Industry and Commerce taking the blame is too clever."

Since the timeline has been changed beyond recognition, Mina and Lao, who should not have had any intersection in life, fought each other in the air on a satellite microwave cannon. Judging from the result, the main story BOSS slightly defeated the side story queen.

In Mina's view, the truth about the satellite gun was simply a dose of poison, because now she was undoubtedly the biggest anti-war faction in the People's Revolutionary League. Whether it was a civil war or a war with PLANT, any war was meaningless in Mina's view. Although the truth could win the hearts of the ground troops at this time, this revenge-seeking mentality would also become a shackle for Mina's progress. The solar orbital elevator in South America had already begun to reinforce the orbital ring at 36,000 kilometers, and the progress of the Mars development plan could be described as a thousand miles a day after Senator Amalfi joined. In Mina's view, starting a war at this time would be a sin against all mankind.

"And I'm sure that the other party will make a big fuss about this matter. By then, the conflict between the People's Revolutionary League and PLANT will reach a delicate critical point. This time, PLANT will have almost no ability to fight back. If we step out of line a little bit, it will most likely turn into a genocide."

After learning the truth, Mina keenly realized that behind Van Dyson's attempt to survive was a motive of turning the tables.

As the opposite of the anti-war faction, her election opponent is already firmly tied to Van Dyson and Luo Pan, but no matter how you look at it, Mina's base is enough for her to win the chairmanship, so if she wants to reverse the situation, the most convenient way is to start a war to muddy the waters.

"You mean, the other party will take the initiative to announce the results of the investigation and direct their attention to PLANT?"

Hilde just didn't put her mind on intrigue, but with her intelligence she understood Mina's subtext at the first time, which was that Finas' death was a destined outcome from the beginning. As long as he died, Agnes's identity would be infinitely magnified. At that time, it would be self-evident which side the ground forces bent on revenge would side with.

"Almost all of Asha's influence is in the First Fleet. The ground forces are mostly old members of East Asia. You saw it when you went to the scene. Without any evidence, those officers dared to ask Siegfried to lead them to launch a counterattack against PLANT. This kind of emotion has reached the point of being ignited. Didn't ZAFT's Carpentaria troops attack us because they were coerced by the army? As a result, you saw the death of the commander and the destruction of the troops. PLANT's largest source of minerals on Earth was cut off overnight. It can be said that without this battle, PLANT would not have lost so miserably."

Just when the atmosphere fell into silence, Mina suddenly changed the subject and asked an irrelevant question, "Hilde, have you ever played that kind of horizontal shooting game?"

"Hey?"

"Generally speaking, this kind of game will have a 'life' setting, which is the maximum number of times you can fail. Van Dyson is just an ordinary player after all, and his life is not infinite."

"you mean"

"Although they were able to survive this time, this disguise will only be used less and less. I can even feel that this is already one of their few tricks. The rats in the gutter can never come to the stage. The fewer chess pieces they can use in the future, the fewer they will have. I will publicly investigate the truth later. No matter what, we must firmly grasp this righteousness in our own hands."

"But what if the ground faction asks us to take revenge on the PLANT?"

"Wait, Hilde, remember, time is on our side in this game. Right now, we have only one focus, and that is Siegfried."
