CHAPTER XXXVII. HISTORY OF ASTRAY (2)

.70 years xs month. Sixteen years have passed since the starter moved to Orb.

During this time, I married a natural person and got a boy.

To her husband, she made no secret of saying that she was an adjuster.

He nodded quietly in understanding.

I haven't told my son yet. When he was old enough to understand the meaning, he was going to say it to him.

I also got a job. He is a research and development engineer at the Akebono Society, which has the largest industrial facility in Orb.

The identity of my adjuster is still hidden.

This is the reward for the tearful efforts up to now. I suppressed the ability to be original. Typing on the keyboard of the computer, etc., should also be typed slowly in front of others.

It's just that once, when I was unconscious, I typed at high speed, and the people around me were surprised.

"Heh~heh, it would be nice to be able to type so quickly~"

I immediately pretended. It's like typing on a keyboard.

"Erica~, even if you're an adjuster, you won't be able to do it."

"Is that so?"

"Hahahaha..."

The people around him laughed innocently. I responded with a smile, but I was scared inside.

In February of that year, a war broke out between natural people and adjusters under tension.

This is the war that literally divides the world in two.

Exalt each other's just wars.

On the natural person side, it is the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, the East Asian Republics, plus several regional organizations that make up the huge organization of the so-called "Earth Union". However, on the back of it, the army is controlled by a group called "BlueCosmos".

BlueCosmos is blindly opposed to genetic modification.

The mantra of "return to nature" can be said to have some degree of persuasive power, but I don't think it is justice if it becomes "kill all the adjusters for this purpose". publish

If you consider that there is such an organization on the back, the reason why the Earth Union started the war with the adjusters is self-evident.

On the other hand, it is doubtful whether the adjusters are just or not.

Their country, "PLANT", is governed by the PLANT Council. However, the Patrick-Sarah Defense Commissar of the ZAFT Army, which controls their army, is quite militant. According to rumors, it seems to be advocating that "the adjusters are the new humans." The future is for us. The natural man is the old race that should perish".

Each other's leaders, denying each other, do not intend to recognize each other. The situation is arguably the worst.

Iasledastraybybaddirections.

I was led astray due to wrong instructions.

People all over the world feel that way now.

We have lost the path blazed by our mentors.

My country, the United Chiefs of Orb, is not on either side in this war. In a neutral position.

Orb is a small country built on a volcanic island near the equator in the Pacific Ocean.

The country is governed by five clans that have lived in this area since the past. Commonly known as the Five Great Clans, their heads are equivalent to politics. According to the provisions of the Constitution, the head of state, who is elected from among the five leaders, serves as the head of state and assumes real political power. The other four entered the Privy Council to support the Führer.

At the same time, the legislature, the parliament, which is elected by the people through general elections, and the heads of state from the five major clans are in opposition to each other, and the political system that is backward due to blood ties is well maintained.

That's what the words say.

However, in reality, the head of state has been succeeded by the Asgha family for many generations. Although elections are conducted in accordance with the law, they are reduced to the same level as ceremonies. The parliament, as the representative of the people, also blindly chose the Asgha family as the head of state.

Indeed, the political skill of the Asgha family is quite remarkable.

Although reluctantly, in this era of war, it is quite powerful to penetrate a neutral position.

Representative Uzmi Nara Assa, who is the head of state in reality, declared to the international community that "no matter what happens in the future, Obu will always remain independent and neutral."

But what makes this possible is not just the power of the Asgha family. With the support of the five major clans, this is possible.

The Dawning Society, where I work, has a close relationship with the Sahak family of the five major clans. Naturally, I am also a member of the Sahak family.

The Sahak family is different from the Askha family, which has served as the head of state, and is a clan that is magnificently active on the surface stage.

It is a clan that has been responsible for the work behind politics for a long time. For this reason, it also has a deep relationship with the "state-owned", that is, the military (and hence, is deeply associated with the Aurora Society, the center of the military industry in Orb). Why the Sahak family became to take on that kind of work, I don't know. However, it is true that the people of the Sahak family are unhappy about this.

"I want to appear on the surface stage of politics"

This is the wish of the Sahak family.

As a result, the people of the Sahak family became close to hating the Ashar family. Of course, almost no one clearly shows such negative feelings.

My immediate supervisor, Master Lund Mina Sahak, is one of the few exceptions.

She openly criticized Master Uzmi Nara Asgha as the head of state of reality. In particular, Lord Lund, who is an expert on the army, seems to be disinterested in the neutrality of Lord Uzmi.

She often criticized Lord Uzmi's practices in front of us men, with her long black hair stretched out. The words spoken by Lord Lund, who was nearly 190 centimeters tall, in a full tone, had the persuasive power of words themselves.

"What is the value of neutrality and peace, etc. As a result, it was only our Sahak family who stained their hands on the back and took on the dirty work that made them successful.

Merely doing high-sounding things will not protect the people and the country. Uzmi, don't forget this! ”

Although her assertion is a bit radical, it is also the side of grasping the facts.

It's just a celebration of neutrality, and no one will pay attention to it. It is precisely because of the military strength that Ob cannot be invaded by other countries that he can penetrate the position of neutrality.

Of course, even Orb's military forces will not be able to win if they fight against United and ZAFT. But it has the power that will not be taken by the enemy without paying the price. The United and ZAFT, desperately hurting each other, do not want to strike at a third country like Orb, leaving superfluous scars.

Now Orb has armaments that guarantee neutrality, but this cannot last forever. The progress of weapons is amazing, and if you don't catch up with the development competition, you will lose your power all of a sudden. The so-called military power is something that weakens with time.

Proof of this is the existence of the new weapon "MobileSuit" invented by the ZAFT Army in the current war. This new weapon brought the ZAFT Army, which was inferior in national strength compared to the unified, to achieve more than equal results against the unification.

The existence of new weapons fills the gap in the amount of material.

It's been four months since the war began.

Although it is a pity, the Obu Army has not yet succeeded in the practical application of the MobileSuit. Although Orb's home country has never been a battlefield, it is absolutely necessary to keep the MobileSuit in order to prevent it from happening.

In addition, the person in charge of manufacturing is me, who is a technician at the Akebono Society.

Development of MobileSuit.

The Uzmi people, as the head of state, think differently from the Sahak family. While acknowledging the necessity, Uzmi-sama intends to promote development within the confines of his own country.

"Uzmi still can't see reality."

Lord Lund's words to Lord Uzmi were deeply filled with contempt and disgust. Every time the name "Uzmi" is mentioned, the bright red lips are uglyly twisted.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, the actual affairs related to the army are the responsibility of our Sahak family. Just let me do it the same way. ”

Lord Lund smiled implicitly. It is beautiful and contains a crazy smile.

I looked at Lord Lund's face and felt a hint of uneasiness, and I really couldn't understand what the words "consistent" meant.
