Chapter VII
(The main story will resume the update starting tomorrow...... )
At one of the gravitational equilibrium points between the Earth and the Moon, Lagrange Point 5, there are many balance-type colonial moons. That's "plant".
That's the world of genetically modified adjusters, and that's the name of their country.
There is a man in the first ward of Apri1ius City, which is the political center of the country's PLANT.
The man is good-looking and has a good physique.
The attire is also decent.
Although he is forty years old, he can't see the aging part on the outside.
Not only that, but from the appearance of men, you can feel that there are certain strong things that are superior to others.
It was not so much the strength of the ** as the strength of the man's mental power seeping into the space.
In the spotless room, the man sat comfortably in a chair. There was a desk in front of me and a computer in front of me. The computer screen displays a huge amount of information. The man's gaze turned to the frame. The eyeballs are staring at the information that is being projected. He scanned a lot of information with great speed.
There was one other person in the room besides the man. It was a soldier in a zaft uniform.
"If you have something, just say it."
The soldier reported something to the man. The man stared intently at the computer screen and didn't say a word, just listening to the soldier's words.
The words of the soldier who made the report were not generally cautious. From that tone, it was clear that the position of the man listening to the report was above this soldier.
Based on the above situation, although it is unbelievable, the conclusion is that Godt? Wia defected. ”
The man's eye movement stopped, scanning the information on the computer screen. Then the gaze slowly turned to the soldiers. An unhappy feeling appeared on his face. The soldier did not dare to continue to look directly at the man.
"Defection......
It's something that can't be believed all at once. Some soldiers of the Zaft Army defected .......
Zaft is an army organized by the adjusters to defend their country, that is, the Plant, and the soldiers who join in nature are volunteers. In short, people join the army on their own volition. Therefore, compared to the army, which relied on conscription, ZAFT had almost no deserters. Of course, there are undoubtedly people who signed up at the beginning but couldn't bear the actual military affairs and wanted to quit. However, as an army, in combat operations, it will not be forcibly left behind, except for those whose duties involve secrecy. For the military, the word "mandatory" has nothing to do with zaft.
“…… It's that God; Wia? ”
It's not just the fact that defected to the man that upset the man with the name of the deserter.
Hero Wia
That's the soldier's nickname. The name is known to everyone who belongs to the ZAFT Army. Even if the title of "hero" is commensurate with the characters in the story, it is not suitable for people in real life. Still, Godd? Wia is still a man who is suitable to be called a "hero".
His birth was shrouded in mystery.
But the "past" cannot be used as a reason to negate the "present". Not to mention in the case that the person fully possessed the abilities that were now considered necessary.
In the tragedy of "Scarlet * Valentine's Day" a year ago, one of the plants: Julius 7 (Dear book friends, this book is updated in LVSEXS to update the latest and fastest chapters of this book on the hot library network. It doesn't matter where you read my work, but when you see this sentence, please come and support me. I will be very grateful for a flower, a click on a collection, one at a time! Destroyed by a nuclear attack by the Earth Army of Natural Men and brutally took the lives of many adjusters.
This incident stirred up the oppressed adjusters in one breath. After the incident, the Zaft army swelled greatly with the Volunteer Army.
But ironically, the inflated Zaft army was weakened for a while.
Even tuners who are excellent in physical ability through genetic selection cannot fully wield their abilities without training. As a result, many recruits were wounded and discharged from the army in each battle.
Godd? Wia was also one of the many volunteers who used the tragedy as an opportunity to enlist in the army.
But he was completely different from the other recruits.
In his first battle, he returned with his companions wiped out.
Moreover, he continued to fight after his companions were completely annihilated, and returned only after the enemy forces were completely annihilated. Indeed, this is a commensurate first appearance for a "hero".
Then, although nearly a year has passed, Wia has not lost once.
And those who are hostile to him will surely have the painful experience of being annihilated.
He is often greeted by the smiling presence of the goddess of victory.
He is the one who is favored by the goddess of victory. The populace indulged in his activity.
Then he became a hero of the Motherland.
"What the hell happened?"
Faced with the man's question, the soldier added as if he remembered something.
"Actually, Wia seems to have memory impairment recently. Especially in battle, the memory had many defects, so it was treated by a military doctor. ”
"Is there memory impairment?"
Military is a stressful profession. Because it is necessary to constantly brush shoulders with death, even if the adjustment is due to genetic adjustment and has no chance of congenital diseases, but in the end, it can be strengthened if it cannot be connected.
"Even if a hero is still human at heart?"
"It's a pity, but it's true."
The soldier, who had barely admitted such a fact, replied and continued.
As Wia escaped, he snatched a Ginn and even opened fire on the friendly forces that were tracking. Eventually, all of his allies were shot down. Therefore, we would like to follow your instructions regarding future processing. ”
"Even the words of a hero's defection cannot be forgiven."
Organization is bound by discipline. Regardless of the reason, ignoring these violators can easily lead to the collapse of the organization itself.
"But who should I send to this mission......
The soldier's thoughts are understandable.
The opponent is a battle-hardened warrior who is hailed as a "hero" in the ZAFT army. Sending unqualified pursuers may lose their wives and soldiers.
"The best fit is the Kreuzer team......"
Labored by a man wearing a mask? Rash? This team of which Creuzer is the commander is a particularly prominent presence in the ZAFT Army. Recently, we have also succeeded in seizing the Mobi1esuit, which was secretly opened in HE1iopo1is.
But you can't send them there. Team Klucher now has other important tasks to do.
"When the problems were piling up, they actually defected. When I heard that it was a hero, it made me feel embarrassed. ”
The man swallowed the words back while he was about to make more accusatory words. No amount of condemnation of those who are not here will do no good. Now it's time to face reality.
Although there are other troops that can be sent except for the Kluj, they are not considered to be heroic opponents.
There is only one way to become like that.
"Send mercenaries."
"Mercenary...... Is it? ”
The soldier in front of him asked repeatedly. There seemed to be a negative connotation in the tone.
But the decision has been made. The man hated to say the same thing all over again.
A stern expression and a turned gaze answered the soldier's question. The soldiers had no choice but to do so.
"Then I see. Prepare right away. If you are a mercenary, you will not lose valuable troops even if you fail. ”
"Mercenaries hire adjusters. Although he is a traitor, as a hero of the motherland, he is killed by a natural person, and this breath cannot be swallowed. …… It is simply impossible for an unnatural person to defeat the hero of the adjuster. ”
After saying that, the man's gaze returned to the computer screen. That's what it means "I'm done." The soldier left the man's room in a wordless salute.
The man who was left alone in the room sighed deeply.
"In the end, the reason for all this is that the war has been protracted. Siegel, you're too gentle. I'm going to use my own way to make it move forward. ”
The name "Siegel" in the man's mouth is the name of the leader of the Adjusters, the Speaker of the Supreme Council.
Not by the surname "Klein" but by the first name "Siegel" is very rare. This man is one of them.
He was none other than Patrick, the supreme leader of the ZAFT Army; Chairman of the National Defense Committee of Sarah.
