Ironically, the collapse of [Heliopolis] has become a stop to the battle, and the Strike Gundam and the Holy Aegis Gundam in the confrontation with each other are pulled into the universe by the powerful air currents generated by the collapse, and the Archangel is like a cruise ship in a storm.

The storm stopped, the shock calmed down, and the various systems of the Archangel were examined, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Bucky Lulu urgently called for a strong attack on the Gundam, as it was the only result of [Project G] and whether the Archangel could safely escape the pursuit of the ZAFT Army.

"X105 Attack, please answer...... X105 Assault, can you hear me? Please answer! X105 Raid, please answer ......"

No matter how anxious Bucky Lulu called, Kira ignored it, his mind was already blank, looking at the ruins in front of him, he couldn't believe that this was his home, and he couldn't accept that [Heliopolis] was destroyed in his hands.

"[Heliopolis]...... Disintegrated! How could it be ......"

Not only Kira, but everyone in the Archangel number looked at everything in front of them with a blank gaze, and it was difficult to accept.

"It's so easy...... It's so fragile......" Mu muttered to himself.

The battle between the Earth Army and ZAFT is definitely far more intense than this, and it is not that there are no colonial satellites that have been destroyed in the war, but the situation is completely different from [Heliopolis], and it is ...... It was also the first time that everyone present had witnessed the collapse of a colonial satellite.

"X105 Assault, X105 Assault, Kira Yamato! If you heard...... Answer me if you're okay! ”

Bucky Lulu's iron-blooded demeanor did not immerse her in the collapse of [Heliopolis], and she persistently called out for Gundam and Kira.

"Zizi...... This is the X105 Raid ...... Zizi ...... I'm Kira. ”

"Whew~" After receiving the reply, Bucky Lulu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?" ”

"Yes."

"Can you tell where we are?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go back, can you come back?"

"Yes."

Communication was interrupted, Kira looked at the broken [Heliopolis], worried about his parents, and returned to the Archangel, but on the way back, he received an emergency distress signal.

"That's it! The escape boat of Heliopolis. ”

……

After confirming Kira's safety, the people on the bridge began to discuss the next path.

"So what are we going to do next?" Mu asked.

"The ship is still in battle, can you catch the movement of the ZAFT ship?" Maliu asked the radar personnel.

"No, there are too many heat sources in the wreckage, so that both radar and thermal detection ......"

"......" Malu was silent, now they were blind and deaf, and they had no control over the situation around them.

"But the other party should be the same, do you think there will be pursuers?" Mu asked Malu.

"Whether we have it or not, we should be prepared for this...... However, if we are attacked now, we will definitely lose......"

"yes." As for Ma Liu's conclusion, Mu can only reluctantly admit it, because their current situation is so grim, "We only have that baby attack and my tattered Zero left now, and with the staffing on the ship, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Can you get rid of them with maximum speed? Isn't the speed of the ship quite high? Mu asked.

"The local Nazca-class is also a high-speed warship, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to get rid of them......"

"Then why don't you surrender?"

"Huh?"

"It's also a way to do it......"

"How is this possible?"

"Kidding ......"

Mu Ke didn't plan to surrender, the relationship between him and Kreuzer was not shallow, I don't know why, Mu could feel that Kreuzer had some kind of obsession and hatred for him, if he surrendered...... He may have been the first to die.

Mu only wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere when he saw that the atmosphere on the bridge was too low for Malu to make a decision, but at the beginning, he was interrupted by Bucky Lulu.

"What do you say? Wait a minute! Who gave you the go-ahead to do that? ”

"Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, what's going on?" Malu hurriedly asked, the situation was serious, and Malu did not dare to miss any details.

"The raid returned, but he also came back with an escape boat." Bucky Lulu reported.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?" Yang Hui took the initiative to ask, although he knew what was going on, but the people in the escape boat were Aubu's nationals, he had to worry about it, and Kira would definitely return to the Archangel with this escape boat, rather than let Kira be hated by everyone because of his arbitrariness, it was better to let himself be the middleman and make everything straight.

"Kira reported that the thrusters of the escape boat were broken and were drifting around, so I picked it up, but the Archangel is now in battle, receiving refugees or something......"

"Then, on behalf of Orb, I formally request the return ship to accept the refugees temporarily, Captain Ramias." Yang Hui said seriously to Ma Liu.

"It's too nonsense! The rescue ship will be coming soon......"

"I approve it."

Maru interrupted Bucky Lulu's argument and directly approved Yang Hui's request.

"Captain?"

"I don't know when the rescue ship will arrive, and if I give up, I'm likely to drift to a place where the rescue ship can't find it, and I don't want to waste time arguing about this kind of thing now, so hurry up and contain it." Malu explained to Bucky Lulu.

This can be regarded as an atonement, after all, [Heliopolis] collapsed because of them.

"Yes, Captain."

After solving the matter of the attack on Gundam and the escape boat, everyone continued to discuss the next action.

"I know the situation is grim right now, but I don't intend to surrender and I will never surrender." Marlu said to everyone solemnly, "I will never hand over this ship and the Strike Gundam to ZAFT, we must bring it safely back to the Atlantic Federation Command no matter what." ”

Baki Lulu strongly agreed with Maliu's decision, and put forward her own thoughts: "Captain, I propose to be stationed in Artemis. ”

"Artemis? That's a military fortress of the Eurasian Federation, right? ”

"Is it Artemis of the Umbrella?"

"Hmm." Bucky Lulu nodded, explaining the reason for the choice, "Based on the ship's current location, it is a friendly fortress on the best route. ”

"But...... G and the warship don't even have friendly identification signals now, so the Eurasian Federation ......," Marlu worried.

"The Archangel and the assault are top secret matters for our Atlantic Federation, of course I understand that, but if we go directly to the moon, it is impossible to go completely without fighting along the way, and we need to resupply as soon as possible before we have completed the loading of supplies."

"I understand ...... this"

"Then let's resupply supplies in another place." Yang Hui stood up and said at the right time.

"What?" Everyone was stunned, and Bucky Lulu was the first to stand up and object, "On the best route to the moon, only Artemis is the closest to us, and if we go to other friendly bases, we will definitely deviate from the route, so ......"

"I'm not talking about the base of the Earth Army, but ...... Over here! As he spoke, Yang Hui marked a location on the map, and on the combat map within the Earth Army, there was nothing here.

"Here? What's there? Ma Lu frowned slightly and asked Yang Hui.

"This is where the cosmic headquarters of the Scrap Recyclers Guild is located, and I have a connection with the Recyclers' Guild, so I'm sure I'll get enough supplies......"

"Impossible! The Archangel and the Strike Gundam are top secrets, so how could they know about the scrap recyclers......"

"Then do you think it's okay for the Eurasian Federation to know?" Facing Bucky Lulu's roar, Yang Hui didn't get angry, just glanced at him and said indifferently.

"This ...... The Eurasian Federation is also part of the planet, and it certainly ......"

"Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, I heard that you were born into a military family, but I didn't expect to be so naïve." Yang Hui sneered and shook his head, scoffing at Bucky Lulu's claims.

"What did you say!?"

"What is the interior of the Earth Union like, do I need to say more? Don't you know how fierce the internal struggle of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation is, as the first and second largest countries in the union of the earth, respectively? Oh, you probably don't really know, after all, you're ...... right now It's just a second lieutenant. ”

"You!"

"Hey, hey, that's a bit excessive, isn't it?"

Bucky Lulu was completely angry, even Malu and Mu couldn't stand it anymore, they all knew that there was mutual restraint within the Earth Federation, but they didn't know that it was so serious, so they all felt that Yang Hui was talking a little too much.

"It's not too much, I know better than you." Yang Hui glanced at everyone calmly, among the people present, the highest rank was only a captain, and one was a technician and the other was a stunned soldier, so he couldn't touch the core at all, so he naturally didn't know how fierce the conflict was.

To put it bluntly, without the threat of PLANT and ZAFT, the war would not have stopped, but the two sides had become the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation.

The Eurasian Federation has not been satisfied with the status of the second millennium for a long time, otherwise it would not have directly deducted the Archangel and the Strike Gundam in the original plot.

Everyone was even more annoyed when they saw Yang Hui's attitude at this time, but Mu and Ma Liu, the two highest-ranking people, calmed down and believed Yang Hui's words, Mu just considered Yang Hui's identity, he was a member of the Oubu inner circle, so he must have seen and contacted more than them.

And Malu has to know more than Mu, because [Plan G] can only be carried out under the insistence of Brigadier General Duane Halbarton because of the mutual constraints within the Atlantic Federation, but this is the case within the Atlantic Federation, so what about the union of the entire earth?

"Yang Hui, are you sure?"

"Captain!?"

Bucky Lulu looked at Marlu in disbelief, hoping for her explanation, but Marlu ignored Bucky Lulu for the time being, and waited for Yang Hui's answer.

"I'm sure I have a relationship with the top management of the recyclers' union, and as long as I can get the money, I can give you what you want, complete transactions, and ......."

As he spoke, Yang Hui looked at Bucky Lulu and said seriously: "Don't think that you can look down on people because you are a soldier, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, in my eyes, the scrap recyclers who are trying to survive in the universe are more respectable than some soldiers, and they are not fools, they know what to do and what not to do; The scrap recyclers' union has a secret trading relationship with all the forces, so can they survive in the cracks of the major forces? ”
