(Destiny has begun, and the book is ready to follow the plot for a short while.) Let's put your opinions in the book review area. The monthly meeting will consider everyone's opinions before writing. ）

The pain has not yet subsided, and new wars have begun to ignite again!

Two years after the armistice between the Army and the United Earth Forces, Aslan and Cagalli visited the colonial satellite of Neutral Zone L4, where they witnessed the three new Gundams that had just been developed being forcibly taken away by unknown persons! At the same time, Zaft's new warship, the Goddess of Wisdom, set sail in an emergency to hunt down the looters, thus opening the prelude to a new war......

The space port was crowded and noisy.

Aslan Sarah, who had come out of the shuttle, looked at the noise with a mixture of suspicion and vigilance. The resident staff stepped forward to brief the figure behind him.

"Tomorrow, in addition to the launching ceremony of the new battleship, there is a military parade scheduled for ......," the man listening to the briefing was wearing a plain purple suit, shaking the gold, looking around him, and his almost golden brown eyes were hiding complex thoughts. At the age of eighteen, she is the current representative of the United Nations of Orb, Kagalli? By pulling? Asha... Under the guidance of the affairs officer, she walked in the VIP passageway, listening to the mixed and vague conversation of people, and her expression was a little dazed.

"Armory One" is an industrial colonial satellite built after the previous war, and there is a large-scale military factory inside. L4, a little farther away, was a neutral zone that allowed satellites or space stations for both the adjuster and the natural person to coexist, and now people fell here to build the ships used in the war. There was no trace of hesitation or doubt on the faces of the citizens, but they talked excitedly about the necessity of warships and were proud of the high technology that the country possessed.

In a way, this is inevitable—Aslan thought as she followed Cagalli.

.. Relations with the old members of the planet, the Atlantic Federation, remain tense.

The great war that broke out in CE7O has drawn the entire earth circle into the flames of war, deepening the already extreme opposition between natural people and adjusters.... t"—a large constellation of colonial satellites. t in exchange for self-sufficiency in the universe. The call for independence is growing louder; At the same time, the idea that "the adjuster is an intolerable existence that violates natural common sense" has gradually emerged on the earth, and even a thought group called the "Blue Universe" has emerged to advocate this theory. The hostility between the two sides intensified day by day, and finally exploded at a certain point.

On February 14, CE7O, a terrorist attack was launched that would later be known as "Bloodstained Valentine's Day". The agricultural colony of Julius VII was attacked by the United Earth Forces with a nuclear bomb, killing more than 200,000 people in an instant.

... The army launched a large-scale airborne operation on Earth. The military first fired a nuclear fission suppression device called a neutron jammer at various parts of the planet, burying them deep underground. Such a device would not only disable a nuclear bomb, but would also fail to activate weapons or equipment powered by nuclear energy, and the planet's energy crisis would worsen as a result of this – as nuclear power has become the most dominant source of energy in modern times, where fossil fuels are nearly depleted. Another side effect of neutron jammers is that they strongly interfere with electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies, which makes radio and other radar instruments useless, and many devices that rely on electromagnetic waves are difficult to function.

Humanoid weapons - MS. This weapon is powered by batteries and is surprisingly versatile and highly maneuverable. Able to compete with the Earth Army.

In this way, the battle situation is deadlocked. The Earth's military has also begun to develop similar fighters on its own, and the war seems to have a tendency to expand indefinitely. Hatred grows, and each victory is rewarded with another.

Aslan himself was caught in the war, and was even once bound by this vicious circle. "Bloodstained Valentine's Day" caused him to lose his mother; ... Patrick Sarah, the father of the President of the Supreme Council, sent instructions convinced that obedience to the orders of the Commanders was the only way to end the war. As a result, not only did his partner who got along day and night die, but he almost killed his friends for many years with his own hands. War is not the fire of struggle that will not extinguish war, but will only consume new victims, and it will be the firewood to burn. In any era, it is just a negative cycle.

The one who casts doubts about his way of being is the golden girl walking in front of him.

Aslan approached Cagalli and whispered in her ear, "Is it okay to wear this?" You always bring a dress, don't you? ”

"Wear ...... Whatever you wear is the same! What does it matter? Cagalli pouted and retorted a little weakly, just as she was when they first met, still a masculine girl. Aslan actually liked her like this in his heart, but he still cautiously suggested to her:

"You can't help but pretend, you know, right? Although you don't have to put up a show, you can't let people look down on you - even if it's not a formal occasion this time, you're the national governor of Orb! As soon as he said this, Cagalli was silent, and a gloomy expression that did not look like her appeared on her face. Lately, she's been on that face a lot. I probably thought to Aslan too.

In the previous war, both of them put their heart and soul into it. At that time, people with the same doubts began to gather and grope for "a battle that would end the war" as best they could... t, the United Earth Army, and the like-minded people of Obuling, who had been devastated by the war for their neutrality, came together to pour their strength into one goal, regardless of whether they were natural or adjusters. Cagalli was also by Aslan's side at that time, sharing the confusion and troubles with him, sharing each other's pain, and running at the same pace. Although there were some conflicts that I couldn't help but do, looking back on it now, the wholeheartedness of those days may have been a kind of fulfillment.

When they met, the war was going in the worst direction. The Alaska base of the Earth Army and the Panama Cosmoport were completely destroyed, and Zaft also lost the Victoria Cosmoport. In the "colony" .. Military satellite "Poaz". Under the threat of nuclear bombs, the ultimate weapon, Genesis, was activated. A nuclear bomb capable of destroying all "colonies" and a "Book of Genesis" capable of destroying all life on Earth - after the two phases are fired, all human beings, whether natural or adjusters, will be spared.

Aslan and the others tried their best to stop this stupid act. Although they also paid a very heavy price - this "second Yakin? Dewey's offensive and defensive battles".. The T side demanded an armistice. Due to the death of Aslan's father, Speaker Patrick Sarah, in battle, Erin Kanaba formed the Provisional ZF on his behalf, and engaged in lengthy negotiations with the nearly disintegrated United Faction of Earth, and finally signed the Ending War Agreement, which took place on March 10, CE72. The signing ceremony took place on the site of the tragedy, the Uurius VII, which has now drifted into the gravel belt, and has since been known as the "Treaty of Julius".

Although there are still many problems that have not yet been resolved, at least for the moment, the "colonies" and the countries of the earth have pledged to trust and understand each other, work for peace, and move towards stability in the world.

But the reality is-

.. The shape of the spaceport is often likened to an hourglass, and the spaceport was built at its fulcrum, with high elevators connecting the two sides of the human settlement. Cagalli sat down in the sand in the elevator, looked up at the clerk standing beside him, and said, "About the launching ceremony of the warship tomorrow......"

"Yes. The ceremony is a bit of fanfare, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the delegates......" Seeing that the affairs officer smiled attentively, Ka Jiali said unceremoniously and sarcastically: "Since you know our intentions, you still choose this kind of day to arrange this kind of scene for me, I really dare not do it." ”

The clerk was poured a basin of cold water, and his frozen expression could not hide his anxiety. Seeing this, Aslan, who was standing beside Kagalli like a guard, said respectfully: "It is our secret and urgent request to meet - Representative Ashar. ”

In front of outsiders, they can't speak as reciprocal as before. Because in public, Aslan is now nothing more than Cagalli's personal bodyguard.

“.. The country is to come away from the eyes and ears of the people - this should be a deliberate arrangement of Speaker Direndal. Cagalli glanced at Aslan and fell silent unconvinced. At that moment, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and Cagalli looked out of the glass wall, only to see through the transparent central axis, and the blue ocean below. The sparkling sea with green islands scattered in the bright sunlight is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. But the vast landscape here is all artificial; Behind that shell of self-healing glass is the cold, vacuum-like universe. When he thought of this fact, Aslan couldn't help but sigh.

With a hint of nostalgia on his face, he looked down on the approaching landscape. I don't know if I can meet his fiancée this time and tell her about his current situation. Aslan looked into the distance and remembered Lux's commission before leaving, and fell into deep thought.
