A journey through the Gundam world

It formed what they saw now, a beautiful but representative scene of death.

Not only the ocean, but everything in this once bustling colonial satellite was frozen at the moment of the attack.

The earth reflecting the pale light seemed to be silently accusing everyone on the Archangel of the tragic fate of themselves and the residents on it...

"Do we really want to find supplies from here?"

Looking at this huge piece of wreckage, Thor felt his voice become hoarse.

No one answered his question immediately, because everyone was silent, not knowing how to answer without myopia, and even more shocked by the sins committed by human beings.

As a new human being, Alex feels it more deeply than they do.

Those soul echoes filled with reluctance, crying and even curses made him feel as if his brain was being squeezed tightly and being twisted like a towel.

The negative emotions caused by the death of hundreds of thousands of people at the same moment made him almost lose his balance.

"Captain Alex, are you okay?"

His abnormality naturally attracted the attention of others.

Holding back the pain, he held on to the railing of the bridge and waved to the others to indicate that he was fine.

"I'm fine, I just have a headache. Let's act as soon as possible."

On the way here, Malu had already explained to the crew what they were going to do.

But the current situation has obviously exceeded expectations.

They just wanted to find supplies from the sunken warship, but they accidentally discovered the wreckage of the Junius 7.

Chapter 59 Shadows under the Light

So next, the crew on the Archangel held a discussion.

As soldiers, Neumann and others understood this.

Thor and others were a little unable to accept it at first, but under the persuasion of Mu and Malu.

I reluctantly accepted that for the sake of those of us who are still alive, we have no choice but to disturb the peace of these dead. ' reason.

Alex suggested that if you want to express your guilt, you can make some paper bouquets and throw them into the space before the collection operation begins.

To express their apology for disturbing the deceased.

Everyone, including Kira and others, was very supportive of his proposal.

Even some female refugees and children came to help.

At this time, in the PLANT colonial satellite in the same space, the Supreme Council was conducting a hearing on the Heliopolis incident.

Kruse is reporting the whole story to the 12 council members who are in charge of all aspects of PLANT and make up the council.

"...Through the above situation, I think you should be able to understand my difficulties in taking such extreme measures under forced circumstances. Our action itself is not aimed at the colonial satellites of neutral countries. In fact, the most important thing that caused all this The reason is the coalition forces and the Orb government, which claims to be neutral but does this kind of thing."

After speaking loudly, Cruze bowed slightly to everyone under the lights and walked back to his seat in the darkness.

Aslan looked at his calm captain and thought about a question in his mind.

When he ordered the use of D equipment and bombardment of colonial satellites, did he really not consider the consequences of doing so?

However, what surprised him even more was that many congressmen actually supported Cruze's statement!

"That's right, Orb, who claims to be neutral, secretly develops secret weapons for the Atlantic Federation. How can such behavior be neutral?"

"They deserve it themselves. They are the ones who violated the treaty first!"

"But, Representative Ashar said..."

Some anti-war congressmen wanted to say something, but were interrupted by others.

"How can you believe what the natural people living on the earth say!"

Aslan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the members of Congress arguing like a noisy street fair.

In his impression, the PLANT Supreme Council should be a wise and far-sighted team of wise men who lead the adjusters to keep moving forward.

But the scene before him made him feel that these people were not as wise as he thought.

At this time, a majestic voice overwhelmed everyone present. It was his father, Patrick Sara.

"But, Captain Cruze, is it really necessary to make such a big sacrifice in exchange for the value of the mobile suit developed by the Earth Army?"

This is actually a play that the two have discussed long ago.

Cruze calmly stood up and took a step forward, coming into the light again.

The mask on his face reflected a cold light under the light.

"On this point, I think I can let Aslan Sala, who has personally flown one of the aircraft and fought against the last one left in the enemy's hands, report on it."

Lux's father, Sigel Klein, nodded.

"can."

However, he glanced at Patrick meaningfully. Obviously, as an old friend and colleague, he realized that there was something fishy about it.

Then, like a puppet on strings, Aslan stood up and took a few steps forward.

It's like a puppeteer stepping out of the dark backstage into the spotlight.

What followed was data about the Holy Shield itself, as well as the amazing battle images of Strike and Heresy.

Many of the congressmen watching all this were top figures related to machinery. They naturally saw the clue and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on Patrick's lips.

On the Archangel, after everyone's hard work, paper flowers for mourning were completed.

Even Alex and Mu folded a paper flower with their own hands, a little clumsily.

For this reason, the two were laughed at by others.

The Archangel found a safe place to dock in the wreckage zone, and the ejection deck opened.

The small boat carrying the personnel slowly left the battleship, escorted by two MS and one M/A.

Mirialia and Fleur, wearing spacesuits, threw paper flowers into the space.

These colorful flowers floating slowly in space represent their apology and their desire for peace in their hearts.

Fleur has already agreed with Malyu to serve as a temporary nurse in the ship's infirmary.

Although this was something she had never tried before as a young lady, she was still trying hard in order to be able to be with others and avoid being isolated.

Thinking of this, she was especially grateful to the one-eyed Captain Alex.

Not only did he help him find a suitable position, he also suggested that he and Mirialia throw these paper flowers together.

This invisibly brings the distance between oneself and others closer.

Just as the paper flowers representing mourning and peace fell towards the wreckage of Junius 7, Aslan, who was under the spotlight, also ended his report.

"...As the above data shows, these aircraft have more superior combat effectiveness than Xigu, which our army is currently changing."

"Even that mass-produced machine of unknown model has an absolute advantage over our army Jin En."

After the report, he saluted everyone, then turned around and walked back to sit down.

"You make a good point, Aslan."

Cruze on the side encouraged him in a low voice.

After listening to his report, the congressmen once again fell into debate.

"They actually created such a thing, those damn natural humans! Do they have to kill us all!"

Some congressmen loudly rebuked the natural persons who were their former sovereign states and compatriots.

"However, it should still be in the trial production stage, right? There are only 5... no, just 6."

"Didn't I make it very clear just now? The model of the sixth aircraft is unknown, and it is a mass production configuration! This means that they may or may have already started mass production at any time!"

"That's right! Could it be that we didn't become nervous until the Earth Army equipped a large number of mobile suits? By then it would be too late!"

Looking at the arguing members, Aslan suddenly understood what means his father and Cruze wanted to use to achieve their goals.

That is, fear.

One of the most primitive human emotions.

Even if the adjuster can adjust his own abilities and appearance.But they cannot change the innate happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy of human beings.

And fear is the most basic human emotion.This kind of emotion can help people retreat from difficulties and understand what can and cannot be done.

But if you use it a little bit, you can also make the other party do certain things according to their own ideas in fear.

Although the adjuster has a natural pride in natural people, deep down in his heart there is still a fear of being surpassed by a natural person who is not as good as himself.

After all, long-term evolution has allowed geniuses to appear among natural people.

And the adjuster just increased the popularity of this kind of genius who had a sudden flash of inspiration.

At the same time, their words and deeds are also full of various hints.This is used to arouse the fear deep in the adjusters' hearts that they least want to recall, the persecution and attacks against them by natural people.

Especially now, February 71, CE2.

It will be one year since Junius 7 was destroyed by an Earth military nuclear bomb.

Everywhere in PLANT is filled with a touch of sadness because of this day.

When he and Cruze were riding in the high-speed elevator, Speaker Siegel's public speech to the people of PLANT was still playing on the screen in the elevator.

It’s about the memorial group that is about to leave for the Junius 7 wreckage to hold a memorial ceremony.

Lux will also be one of the members of the mourning group, taking the Silver Wind to carry out the memorial service.

At this time, it is the best time for Cruze and Patrick to stir up everyone's fragile nerves.

"What are you thinking! This clearly shows that those natural people want to continue to expand the war. This is a manifestation of their will!"

In fear, some congressmen stood up and roared while slapping the table.

"However, if we continue to fight, the battlefield will turn into a long-term war, which will be detrimental to us!"

Peace parties are firmly opposed to the expansion of war.

"We still have more than 3 million compatriots on the earth! They are suffering from the oppression of natural people! We can develop and recruit soldiers from among them!"

"But……"

"quiet!"

As the Speaker of the House, Sigel Klein also had to step in to stop the factional conflict that had become increasingly fierce.

As for Kruse, who ignited the fire of fear, he sat in the shadows where the light could not reach, admiring the scene with a smile.

The people present can be said to have one of the most intelligent brains among humans, but what they are doing at the moment is an emotional confrontation that humans regard as backward and unintelligent behavior.

This attempt made him realize that the emotion of fear can have such a strong effect.

'Human beings are really amazing. Even the smartest people will act irrationally once they are controlled by their emotions. '

After the congressmen fell silent, Patrick stood up and said seriously.

"No one wants war, we just want a peaceful and peaceful life, that's all we want."

As a member of the National Defense Council, everyone was very convinced when he said this.

As a widower who lost his spouse in Bloody Valentine, he is still the commander of ZAFT Army.

His words are worth pondering.

But at this time, Patrick's voice suddenly became louder.

"But! Who ruthlessly crushed this wish? Who blindly restrained and squeezed us just for their own selfish desires and greed! And when we rose up to resist, who was it!"

At this point, his voice choked up.

"Who threatened and attacked us with deadly force? It was those arrogant natural people!"

"That bloody Valentine's Day, the tragedy of Junius 7, not long ago. 24 people! We lost so many of our compatriots."

His words reminded others of the tragedy.

"Despite this, we still hope to end the war as soon as possible under the minimum circumstances, but natural people regard our good intentions as weakness time and time again!"
