In the blink of an eye, June 1st, United Earth began to openly call for a policy of either us or the enemy with the neutral Equatorial Union, the Republic of Scandinavia, and the United Emirate of Orb to the world. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info just that when the United Earth uses the media and other means to make large-scale propaganda to the public, it secretly asks governments to join the alliance in an almost intimidating manner.

Thus, on June 13, all the neutral organizations except the United Emirate of Orb joined the United Earth and became the protectorate of the United Earth Nation. At the same time, an ultimatum was issued to the United Emirate of Orb (Emirate), which was still resistant, to remove Uzmi Yula Ashar from his post within 48 hours, and to immediately dissolve and disarm the Parliament.

Naturally, the Orb side would not agree to such a fundamentally unreasonable request, so on the afternoon of the day of receiving the notice, a national evacuation order was issued, preparing to meet the imminent attack of the joint force.

On the Archangel -

"Lin Yiyan, Kira, please come over to the bridge." During the Archangel's ship's announcement, Maliu's slightly serious voice came out. Lin Yiyan looked up at the location where the voice came from, closed the book and stood up, put away the magic book and turned around and left the room.

"Kira, I need your help." When Lin Yiyan arrived, the first thing he heard was Cagalli's request.

"Huh?" Kira, who didn't know how the plot situation was changing outside, had a puzzled expression on her face.

"Please, Kira. Please, help me protect Orb! Cagalli's shoulders shook slightly, and she lowered her head and sobbed.

"What's going on?" Kira frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"I'll tell you." Malu sighed. Then he told the changes in the outside world after the Arras family.

“…… Other words. If Orb does not accept the announced treaty before the deadline is reached, he will be forced to go to war by the Atlantic Federation! Finally, Marlou concluded.

"I know, I'll go." Kira replied in a deep voice.

"Thank you, thank you, Kira." Cagalli said happily.

"It looks like the Atlantic Federation can't help it!" Hearing this, Lin Yiyan sighed slightly, and then, Lin Yiyan's eyes rolled, looked at Cagalli and said, "Now the archangel number belongs to me, so, if you want the archangel number to help you, I have one condition!" ”

"What conditions." Cagalli asked with an unkind face.

"I'm going to use the Mass Accelerator to get the Archangel into space." Lin Yiyan said. This kind of thing is no longer something that she can decide with Princess Cagalli, so her figure flashed and gave way to Kisaka on the side. From this conversion, it is not difficult to see that Orb was playing the emotional card with Kira from the beginning, or acquiescing to Cagalli's situation of privately looking for foreign help.

"I need to ask Lord Uzmi about this." Kisaka said in a sneering voice.

"In that case, then add one more condition." Lin Yiyan chuckled.

"Don't get too close!" Cagalli said angrily. Only Kisaka's expression remained unchanged, and he said flatly, "You say." ”

"I want to replenish, enough supplies and ammunition for the normal operation of the Archangel, at least more than three times the base!" Lin Yiyan put away the expression on his face and said solemnly. If Lux does bring people out as promised, he can't do it without preparing enough food and living space for them.

"I know, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." Kisaka looked at Lin Yiyan and nodded.

Watching Cagalli and Kisaka leave, Maru looked at Lin Yiyan with disdain and said, "You are so shameless. ”

"Well, thanks for the compliment!" Lin Yiyan didn't care. Kira looked at Lin Yiyan with a calm face and asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"For the future, just in case!" Lin Yiyan sighed deeply, then ignored Kira, turned around and walked to the helmsman position and sat down, and took out the language secretary about the ancient language again and studied.

Kira didn't ask, and waited quietly. About ten minutes later, Orb's communication request came in.

"Your request has been granted, but in exchange. The Archangel number must also participate in the early battle, otherwise everything will be invalid. Kisaka said as he appeared on the screen.

"Yes." Lin Yiyan thought about it and agreed, and then the two cut off contact again.

"What are you going to do with the members of the Archangel number?" At this moment, the question that had been holding in Ma Liu's mind, as things developed, Ma Lu finally couldn't help but ask Lin Yiyan.

"Those who are willing to stay, those who are unwilling let them go, anyway, I don't force it!" Lin Yiyan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I've always been a person who understands righteousness and is magnanimous. Moreover, Orb is about to fall into battle, and this ship will also join the battle, and even if I don't have to bomb them, some people will disembark on their own. ”

"Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and this ship belongs to you, and there may be fewer people who get off the ship. Now that the ship is mine, there may be more people disembarking! Lin Yiyan explained meaningfully.

"You're going to let me say it?" With an uncertain tone, Ma Lu looked at Lin Yiyan and asked.

"Who else but you?" Lin Yiyan said to Ma Liu, of course, "Who told you that you are still the captain of this ship?" Hearing this, Malu rolled her eyes and said, "Okay! I know! ”

After that, the crew stood in the hangar of the Archangel, and Malu in front of him said with a solemn face, "Now, the United Earth Fleet is preparing to attack Orb...... Everyone almost didn't understand what they heard, and their faces were full of astonishment, or shock.

"--If Orb doesn't help the Earth Army in their crusade against PLANT, he will be considered a Zaft supporter--That's why ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately muttered "what are you doing", "it's too messy" and so on. After a moment of silence, Maliu continued, "The Orb government still expects to maintain a neutral position, and is still making diplomatic efforts, but unfortunately, in the current attitude of the Earth Army, it is extremely unlikely that a battle will be avoided...... I have to say that......"

Maliu's expression was extremely gloomy, and she probably suppressed her anger as well. Kaz, who was standing near Kira, turned blue and seemed to tremble slightly. And it's no wonder. I finally escaped to this peaceful country, but the war came to my door again.

"-- Orb has entered a state of emergency preparedness, ordering all citizens to disperse from the metropolitan area and the periphery of the military-related institutions in order to prevent an emergency." Marlu took a turn of breath and looked around at the crew's faces, "And we've already made our choice......"

There was silence for everyone, looking at the young female captain who had relied on her all the way.

"Now the situation of the Archangel, I think everyone understands something." Everyone understood the meaning of the young female captain's words, since the First World War in Alaska, the Archangel did not belong to anyone here, but another young man with magical powers. In many ways, their lives are under surveillance.

Then they heard Malu continue, "What should we do in the face of such a state of affairs in Orb—I will not command you." Besides, I don't have that authority over you now......" Hearing this, everyone seemed even more shaken than they had just been. For a long time, they had long been accustomed to obeying orders. Knowing the doubts in their hearts, Malu continued, "If it is unavoidable, the battle will begin at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow. Whether to help fight to protect Orb or not to do so - we have to judge for ourselves.

Fight to protect Orb - that is, to go head-on against an organization to which you once belonged. The soldiers were quite confused. Hearing that there was no desire to force her to be at all in her words, the crew couldn't help but stir. However, they also have to make decisions for themselves. If they had only obeyed orders and not thought about them, they would have died in Alaska. Since you have had doubts about this, it should not be difficult to draw your own conclusions.

Finally, Malu looked meaningfully at the faces of the crowd, "...... Along the way, you will follow an unreliable captain like me...... Thank you......" She bowed deeply to the crowd.

Unreliable captain - maybe that's the truth, Lin Yiyan thought. But what led them to this moment may be her confusion. There is confusion to appear human. Those who blindly put aside their confusion and blindly fight will not be able to escape the fate of struggle even if they eliminate all those who have different ideas from themselves. Are you right? No misunderstanding? Is there any other way? ――It is precisely because of some confusion that we perceive other possibilities.

After the disbandment, some of the crew began to discuss with each other, while others pondered alone, and left the hangar in twos and threes.

'Bang Bang ......'

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Yiyan appeared beside Ma Lu with applause, nodded to her with a smile, and said, "That's a good point!" ”

"I just want to feel at ease!" Malu sighed deeply.

"Now, Maliu, it's still that question, have you ever considered messing with me!" Lin Yiyan smiled and said to Ma Liu, "Anyway, you don't belong now, just a free people!" ”

"By the way, there are so many people on the boat, why do you keep chasing me?" Malu first rolled her eyes, then asked puzzled.

"There's no way, here, for now, it's just you, no worries. Because the place I went to was more special. Lin Yiyan's answer made Ma Liu's face puzzled, and she only heard Lin Yiyan say helplessly, "Moreover, the Archangel also needs a captain, and I don't have it!" For now, it's just right! ”
