The meeting between Yura and Halbarton went smoothly, and Halbottomen gave Orb and the other students a notice of approval for their discharge.

Touching and using the latest weapons of the Atlantic Federation without permission is a crime in any case, so as a workaround, Kira and his friends had already volunteered to join the army before that, and then each of them was issued a re-discharge approval notice, and the matter was perfectly resolved.

Bucky Lulu, who was well aware of the importance of Kira's combat effectiveness, objected to this outcome, but was reprimanded by Halbarton.

Jura was a little unhappy with Bucky Lulu's idea that she still wanted to use Kira, but knew that she was also a little knotted with the adjuster because of what happened to the new star, so she didn't blame her, but just wanted to find a chance to relieve her.

After all, a good soldier like Bucky Lulu is naturally the target of his recruitment, and if he wants her to be used by the third force, it is still necessary to untie her knot.

After dealing with Kira's affairs, Halbarton immediately announced the next trip of the Archangel.

Originally, Yura was not qualified to observe these military arrangements, but as a thank you for Yura's fight for the Archangel all the way, Halbarton left Yura, who was about to leave.

In Halbottom's plan, the Archangel carrying the assault will abandon the original plan to go to the headquarters of the Lunar Space Force and instead land directly on the Alaska base on Earth, and the Eighth Fleet will escort the landing operation of the Archangel.

Since the Eighth Fleet will return to the lunar base after completing the mission, a group of Orb people on board the Archangel will land on Earth with the Archangel.

Jura didn't say anything about this, but he knew in his heart that Halbarton's plan wouldn't go as smoothly as he hoped.

The Eighth Fleet did not immediately set sail for the lunar base after accepting the Archangel, but stayed in Earth orbit to naturally escape the detection of the Zaft army.

The Zaft army is full of talents, and they will soon realize Halbarton's intentions, and they will definitely do everything in their power to prevent the Archangel carrying the attack from landing on Earth.

After Maliu left to take charge of the supply affairs, Bucky Lulu also left to deal with the discharge procedures of Kira and the others, and Jura stayed behind and asked Halbarton: "Commander Halbarton, I am afraid that the intention of the Eighth Fleet to stay in the Earth's orbit cannot be concealed from the Zaft army, and I don't know what your arrangements are if it is attacked." ”

"Councilor Sairan, you've fought with the Raiders all the way, so I think you can appreciate the importance of this plane." Halbarton's face was serious, "As a last resort, even if I sacrifice the entire Eighth Fleet, I will guarantee the safety of the Archangel." ”

And so it was......

Although Yura admired the fleet commander's upright military aura, he very much did not want the fleet commander to die here for the sake of balancing the blue cosmos.

He had several meetings with Halbarton during his previous involvement in Project G, and he was a very visionary man, as evidenced by his strong support for the development of Project G.

At the same time, he is very disgusted with the Blue Cosmos organization, and is a banner figure within the army of the anti-Blue Cosmos faction.

And he also has a relatively clear understanding of the interests behind the war, and hates LOGO and other arms dealers, which are potential talents who can be pulled into the third force.

"With all due respect, while I know the importance of the assault, the importance of your commander is just as important." Yura said: "If anything happens to you, or if the Eighth Fleet has suffered heavy losses here in the past, it will be very detrimental to suppress the increasingly crazy blue cosmos. ”

Seeing Halbaton's hesitation, Jura continued: "Commander, you are the only military member of the anti-blue cosmos faction who has actual military power, if anything happens to you, the politicians of your faction will probably be brutally purged, those crazy people can do anything." ”

Halbarton shook his head and smiled bitterly at Yura's words, "The war is so complicated because of the involvement of you politicians. ”

"But it is precisely because of our participation that the war is in a manageable state." "If the military and fanatics are allowed to run rampant, I am afraid that tragedies like Bloody Valentine's Day will be played out every day." ”

Halbardon didn't speak, and he acquiesced in Yura's words.

The fleet commander seemed to have wavered a little under Yura's political persuasion, but Halbarton was notoriously stubborn, as evidenced by his refusal to give in to the blue cosmos.

"As you said, the Zaft Army will not let the Archangel descend smoothly." Halbarton frowned and said, "Do you want me to escape with the Eighth Fleet in a moment of crisis, and then watch the Archangel be destroyed?" ”

"The Zaft army now has four G's, and you should know what kind of terrifying combat power those mechs can exert in the hands of the adjusters, right?"

"If you don't fight the Eighth Fleet, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect the Archangel."

Seeing Halbarton's stubborn appearance, Yura was a little helpless.

It is indeed difficult to strike a balance between preserving the combat power of the Eighth Fleet and covering the safe landing of the Archangel, after all, the situation of war changes rapidly.

In the end, the conversation ended without a hitch.

As Yura prepares to return to the hangar to help with the preparation of the airframe, she is surprised to see Frey crying tears goodbye to her father as she passes through the living quarters.

"Well, you and your friends will take the Archangel back to Earth first." Undersecretary Altal touched Frey's head and said, "I have arranged for someone at the Alaska base to take you and your friends to Orb. ”

"Don't, Dad, go back with us." Frey shook her head and cried, "Dad, aren't you the vice minister of foreign affairs?" Why stay in such a dangerous place as the battlefield, the battleship you were on before was almost destroyed! ”

"Good daughter, don't be willful!" Frey's father said, "If this operation goes well, Dad will follow the Eighth Fleet to the moon base, and there is still work to be done there." ”

After comforting his daughter, Frey's father looked up and greeted Yura passing by, "Councilor Ceran, my daughter will return to Earth with you on the Archangel Celestial Ship, and I will ask you to take care of her along the way." ”

Yura smiled and agreed, but unfortunately Frey, who didn't have a good impression of Yura, was very unappreciative.

She glared at Yura in her father's arms with teary eyes, and lost her temper and said, "Don't take care of this guy!" ”

"Frey!" Frey's father scolded his daughter, and then apologized to Yura, "Frey, she is still willful and ignorant, please forgive Councilor Ceran." ”

Jura raised her hand to say that it was okay, and now he didn't have time to worry about this little girl.

However, the presence of Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs in Altal alerts Jura that she may be able to convince Halbarton's father.

He pretended to be worried and asked, "Ltal Foreign Minister, are you planning to board the Menelaos next?" ”

"Yes." Seeing Yura's strange expression, Frey's father asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"That's right, I just had a brief conversation with Commander Halbarton." Jura said: "He seems to have taken the Great Angel number too seriously to lose his calm judgment, and listening to the tone, he seems to be planning to cover the safe landing of the Archangel even if he dies here." ”

"How could it be ......" Frey's father was a little shocked, he was going to board the Menelaos next.

Seeing that the other party was shaken a little hard, Yura continued to say, "So after the Archangel enters the lowering procedure, I hope you can persuade Commander Halbarton to retreat as soon as possible." ”
