Chapter 35: The Battle of Orb (1)
Off the coast of Orb.
Watching the large and small ships approach, everyone held their breath. From a distance, the ships reflect the sun's rays monotonously, and even lack realism like toy boats; But as soon as you get closer, the majestic lineup becomes apparent.
A coalition of East Asian Republics, Atlantic Federations, and Eurasian Federations - Led by the Azra Ayru Consortium, the leader of the Blue Universe, Moruda? The fleet led by Azra Aïru and Rear Admiral Liu Yi of the Republic of East Asia is slowly approaching and encircling Obu. Surrounded by hundreds of warships and destroyers, the flagship Liu Bang looked so majestic.
Orb command post.
"Damn, it really invaded." Looking at these hundreds of battleships displayed on the screen, Cagalli in military uniform? Ulla? Asghar said through gritted teeth. "Orb is a neutral country!"
Cagalli was the commander of the Orb side of the Orb War. Although it is not very mature, although the military literacy is not very high, but, as the representative of Ozmi? Ulla? Ashar's only daughter, the princess of Orb, in terms of identity, Cagalli is enough.
As for the specific combat deployment, there are other members of the Orb Army who will deal with it, and Cagalli only needs to be a mascot to stay at the command post to represent the most powerful Ashar family in Orb, as for other things, it has nothing to do with Cagalli.
Archangel number.
"We are members of the Atlantic Federation, how can we help Orb against the motherland, even if it is because of those children, I can't accept it, if the captain really wants to make such a decision, then I'm sorry." Natal held her pistol and looked at Malu coldly. Said seriously. To be able to make a pure soldier like Natal rebel against his superiors, Malu is really very good.
Malu didn't know that she was being Uzimi? Ulla? Ashar, the representative of Orb, poured some ecstasy soup into it, and actually wanted to participate in the defense of Orb and fight against the motherland. How can this kind of thing be allowed to happen, and, Lord Marliu, do you think too much of yourself, don't think that the captain can be willful. The Archangel number is not something that Malu said alone.
"Well, don't do this, calm down a little, I think Your Excellency Captain is just talking." Looking at the two captains in the opposing position, feeling the atmosphere of stalemate, the pilot of the Archangel, Neumann, half-jokingly relieved the siege and expressed his concerns: "Whether we participate in the battle against the Atlantic Federation or not. Well, the battle to defend Orb, but just because we let the Archangel be detained in Orb, it is a big trouble, and now although the Archangel has been repaired, it is also an indisputable fact that it is trapped in Orb. If, not involved in Orb's defense, how will we be treated, this ......"
Hear the words of the battleship pilot. The faces of the people who were discussing on the bridge of the Archangel were not very good-looking. Things are going to be very bad with the Archangel right now.
The captain was bewitched, and he was held up in the territory of the belligerents, and it is normal for him to be raided when he is raided. After all. Obuko is about to face an attack from the Atlantic Federation.
"Don't worry, Representative Asgha is a good person, even if we don't stand up for justice. Won't do anything to us. After the war, we will definitely be released from the Atlantic Federation. Sensing the uneasiness of the other members, Malu hurriedly comforted.
Maliu, who has been bewitched by the representative of Assha, has completely stood on the side of Orb, justice, neutrality, faith, light, hope, what a beautiful word, and it is also the most demagogic word, even if a young man like Kira is counted, after all, Orb is the motherland of Kira and others, and it is also necessary to protect the family and defend the country, what is the matter with you Maliu, what about the belief in your heart, the persistence in your heart, and being bewitched to death by a few words, which makes the other members of the Archangel very distressed.
"It's going to let us go back, and then we'll be tried by the Atlantic Federation, and finally shot, it's really very distressing, it seems that we were forced to go to Liangshan, tied to the chariot by Orb, if Orb wins, we can still apply for political asylum, if Orb is defeated by the Atlantic Federation, then, our best result is to be shot." However, in the face of the attacks of the Atlantic Federation, the East Asian Republic, and the Eurasian Federation, what can this weak girl do, it is really the worst situation. Mu, who was very clear about the current situation, covered his face and said.
"I knew that I couldn't come to Orb if I was beaten by Zaft, we are heroes, and our families will receive the best subsidies, and coming to Orb is not only our problem, what kind of treatment will our family receive, but it is a very bad thing." Madek covered his face and said bitterly.
"Okay, it's come to this point, we should think about our future, although, I really can't see the future, it's also a good way to help Orb fight against the Atlantic Federation, provided that these soldiers with families want to retire from the ship, I think with the help of the Archangel, get Kira? Yamato, the super pilot, the Ashar representative of Orb, probably won't be asking for anything. It shouldn't be embarrassing us poor people. Mu put down the hand covering his face and analyzed seriously.
"Mu!" "Captain!"
Malu and Natal shouted discontent at the same time.
Malu was dissatisfied with what Mu had said about the representative of Asgha whom he respected. Natal, on the other hand, was very dissatisfied with Mu's proposal.
"Don't shout, it's useless to shout, that's the way it is. Super bad. Now the Atlantic Federation is out there and doesn't give us much time, and that's the case with the Atlantic Federation, and so is Orb. If it's not fast, I guess we don't even have a choice, and now Obuk is very lacking in combat power. Every ounce of combat power is very scarce. Mu said with a bitter face.
If you don't choose, Orb's assault team will rush into the Archangel and forcibly control the Archangel. It's really unlucky. Mu thought bitterly.
If it weren't for the slightest thought about Malu that he shouldn't have, Mu would have fled far away, completely different from Malu and Kira, who regarded themselves as very important, thought that they couldn't do without themselves, thought that they should do their part for the peace of the world, and were fooled by the words justice, hope, future, brightness, and equality.
It seems that Mu Ke, who is hanging, sees things very clearly, understands where he should be, understands how much strength he has, and that kind of big man participates in the game, and it is better to avoid a small person like himself because. A little aftermath can be a little person like himself to pieces.
Maliu was bewildered by the representative of Asha, Mu Ke did not, the person who can become the leader of a country, at least he is ruthless, he is ruthless to himself, and he is equally ruthless to the enemy. In the hands of such a person, Mu Ke has nothing to think about.
"Captain." In front of everyone, Natal said straightforwardly: "I won't talk about the separation of Kira, Thor, Miriaria, Say, and Frey from the Atlantic Federation, but." What are you going to do about the Archangel and Gundam Strike? If you're still trying to fly the Archangel and Strike Gundam against the Atlantic Federation, then forgive me for my faux pas. ”
Hearing Natal's intentions, Malu looked at her sharply. Natal also looked back into her eyes and continued, "The property of the Atlantic Federation of the Archangel must not be used against the Atlantic Federation. ”
Marlu replied, "Natal, I see what you mean. But. Kira: They're not soldiers. Moreover, the archangel number was also built by Orb in the final analysis. Although ......"
"The Archangel is the property of the Atlantic Federation! Please recognize this! Lord Maliu! Seeing such a Maliu, Natal stopped even shouting the captain and said coldly.
Mu quietly walked behind Natal. A surprise blow knocked Natal unconscious, and holding the fainted Natal, Mu said with a wry smile: "Damn, why are the two captains so unreliable." I don't even know what the situation is, it's not a question of whether we're willing to help or not, it's a question of having to help when we're already tied to Orb's chariot. Helping might die. However, if you don't help, you will definitely die. I don't want to die yet, so, sorry Natal. ”
"Hey, Mu, is it okay to say that Representative Asgha is a good person......" Hearing Mu's words, Malu said dissatisfied.
"Good people, when did you see that politicians are good people, cold-blooded people who can treat life as numbers, madmen who can sacrifice anything for political ambitions, when they became good people, how do I not know. That's. Forget it, what are you talking to about this? Hearing Malu's words, Mu complained a little disappointed.
After speaking, Mu didn't wait for Maliu's reply, handed Natal into the hands of a private who was about to retire the ship, and looked at Madek in the maintenance squad seriously and asked: "Is the repair of the Strike Gundam completed, if not, I am also very distressed, without strength, there is no use value, it is the only hope for us to survive." ”
After Kira quits the Archangel and joins Orb to obtain the Dawn Gundam, the Strike Gundam becomes Mu's plane. It is precisely because of the existence of such an ACE as Mu, plus the need to take care of Kira, a member who has a relationship with the Archangel number, Uzmi? Ulla? Ashar, the representative of Orb, has not forcibly invaded the Archangel until now. Of course, Malu, the stupid bewitched captain, is also the biggest reason. Because I saw the possibility that the Archangel would automatically enter the war. Uzmi? Ulla? Ashar waited so securely.
But, Uzmi? Ulla? Ashar's patience is not unlimited, and now that the Atlantic Federation is about to invade, Ashar's representative will also invade the Archangel at any time.
Hearing Mu's question, Madek said with a smile: "It's ready, you can attack at any time, Kira's kid is really amazing, it's only been a long time, and he has come up with a natural person's driving system." ”
"That's good, now this Strike Gundam has decided our lives, if you perform well, you will live, and if you perform poorly, you will die. I don't want to die at the hands of my fellow Atlantic Federation colleagues. Moreover, although Orb has been prepared, this kind of natural person driving system has just been completed, and the body is very good, but those combat pilots are all rookies! I don't know if I've seen blood, it's really unreliable. Hearing Madek's words, Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.
"If something happens, the captain will have to move." Madek said, patting his ass.
Indeed, if you think about it again, there are not many combat drivers like Mu. You can use a MA to contain the Storm Gundam and the Duel Gundam. Even Kira, who is a tuner and pilots a "strike gundam", is too busy just to deal with an Aegis Gundam. Even if it exploded SEED, it was still beaten very miserably by Aslan. If it weren't for Mu, perhaps, the Archangel wouldn't have been able to come to Orb.
"Then again, what about Strike Gundam? Does that really matter? Marlu asked, a little embarrassed.
It is difficult to control the operating system that has been modified by Kira with the technology of a natural person, so he relies on Kira's help. A natural person can control an operating system installed on top of the Strike Gundam.
At this time, it was Mu's turn to have a difficult face. said with a wry smile: "I also know, it's a bit ...... to deliberately get it back and lower the specification level." But Kira's guy's operating system, I really can't control it, so I have to change it to a natural person's operating system, although it can't compare to the power that Kira showed when driving, but compared with those rookies in Orb, I won't lose. At the very least, piloting a Strike Gundam is much stronger than my original MA Airlord. That's enough. ”
"War! When will true peace and true peace of mind come? Looking at the hundreds of Atlantic Federation warships that had invaded Orb on the screen, Malu said firmly, "I think I should do something about it." ”
"Captain Marlu understands my intentions. In my opinion, there is no problem! Halbarton's tone was categorical, but the look in Maliu's eyes was still kind. Malu suddenly felt the guilt and tension in her heart be relieved; It was as if all the previous suffering had been rewarded in this moment. ——A moment to protect your subordinates and defend them.
"People who don't want to do things will not succeed in anything." The man who said this, Halbarton's eyes did shine with a strong will. - Firm conviction.
"Either way, I really hope this war will end soon." Halbarton said to Malu with emotion. - The desire to build peace.
Battle in low orbit. Until the last moment, the flagship of the Eighth Fleet Admiral Halbarton, the "Mineraos", was barely holding on, supporting and protecting the Archangel and allowing the Archangel to land on Earth. But its shell was cut and burned by thin air, and the engine had almost lost its ability to escape gravity. In fact, at this point, no matter how strong the engine is, it can no longer save this huge flagship from the gravity of the earth.
"Admiral Halbarton......!" Facing the "Mineraos", which is gradually crumbling and burning. Malu stood up and bowed slowly. Tears blurred her vision. Halbaton's last free smile still lingered in her head. - The parting of life and death.
Excellency...... Your mind. I will convey it indeed. Your wishes, I will stick to it, for the sake of peace! Looking at the hundreds of warships of the Atlantic Federation that invaded the neutral country of Orb on the screen, thinking of the breath of peace that she had felt in Orb before, Maliu's mind flashed bits and pieces of communication with Halbarton, thinking of this existence who protected her like a father, and thinking of the free and easy smile of the last parting.
It is incumbent upon Marlou to work hard and persist for the sake of Halbottom's pursuit of peace and the pursuit of justice.
It is precisely because she saw the shadow of Halbarton from Representative Asghar that Maliu believed in the words of Representative Ashar so deeply and believed in Representative Ashar so much.
Maliu completely forgets that Halbarton is a pure soldier, while Representative Ashar is a politician, although the two have the same beliefs, pursue the same goals, and have almost the same temperament, but Representative Ashar is not Admiral Halbarton. Asgha deputies are not purely military men.
Politicians have a bottom line and political ambitions, but at the same time, they are also unscrupulous. Politicians are not military men. It can't be purely military.
Pure soldiers are by Malu's side, like Natal. Simple, loyal to the task, all necessary measures for victory, as long as it is within the scope of military regulations, she can do whatever it takes, without even the slightest doubt.
Politicians will not be pure, politicians will not be pure. The leader of a country can be said to have reached the pinnacle on the road of statesmanship, and he is the most outstanding politician, so how can he believe all the words spoken by the Asghar representative who can become led by Obu, and it is very powerful to believe it.
Looking at Maliu's pilgrimage look, feeling Maliu's current state, and looking at the very reliable Deputy Captain Natal who was knocked unconscious by himself, Mu couldn't help but cover his face and thought bitterly: It's a big trouble, such an unreliable captain, I don't know where it will take us.
Peace, justice, hope, light, you believe in these things that deceive children, are you an adult, Your Excellency. This kind of thing, it's most suitable to fool those hot-blooded young people, isn't there a lot of young people who are fooled by this kind of thing to become soldiers, after seeing so much, why haven't you woken up.
Ms. Marliu, you are 26 years old, not 16 years old. Even sixteen-year-old Katz wouldn't be fooled by these things, and you should tell me what to say. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass.
