After a short wait, and a few days of sailing, Aslan, Nigol, and Diego also landed on Earth, taking with the new Gundam for Justice, Covenant Gundam, and Gundam Reborn.

"Aslan, what do we do next?" Nigaul asked, the three-person team, Aslan is still the captain, even if their hearts are shaken, but the mission that should be carried out still has to be carried out, at least they must first find the location of the Freedom Gundam, investigate who people and facilities have come into contact with it, and then make a decision.

“…… Let's start with the Marshall Islands. Aslan decided that they didn't have any clues about the Freedom Gundam, and instead of wasting time looking for a needle in a haystack, they might as well do what they wanted to do before waiting for clues from the intelligence services.

"...... of the Marshall Islands"

Although Nigol did not participate, he had heard about the final battle between the Strike Gundam and the Aegis Gundam from Aslan and Diego, and he also knew that the pilot of the Strike Gundam was a good friend of Aslan, and although the other party was still alive, he was ...... Aslan must want to remember it.

"Let's go." Diego has no objection to this, he is also a disgrace in the Marshall Islands, but after going through so many things, he does not feel humiliated, but he does not know how to deal with it, maybe revisiting the old place can bring him a little guidance.

After the three of them decided, they set off directly and did not arrange a transport plane to escort them, after all, all three planes are nuclear energy bodies, the Justice Gundam comes with its own auxiliary flight system [Destiny-00], and the Covenant Gundam and Rebirth Gundam do not have the ability to fly in the atmosphere, but they can also achieve permanent endurance by connecting the aircraft and the body with an energy transmission wire.

The three planes set out from the Carpentaria base, and in order to avoid a fight with Orb, they chose to make a large circle from Sealand.

When he arrived in the Marshall Islands, Aslan saw the wreckage of the Aegis Gundam scattered everywhere, but not the wreckage of the Strike Gundam or Storm Gundam.

"It must have been recovered by Orb, right? After all, there is still the possibility of repair. Diego said that the reason why the shield was left in place was because it had exploded into fragments, and there was no point in recycling.

The three of them circled the island and saw a hut, so they prepared to get off the plane to visit, but the owner of the hut was actually their acquaintance, Mentor Marchio, and there were a few scared children with him.

All three knew Mentor Marchio, and they all bowed to him at the same time.

Knowing who it was, Mentor Marchio led the three of them to the hut where he was staying.

At this time, the TV in the house was playing Obu's news, and the Third and Fourth Naval Fleets of the Atlantic Federation went south, stayed outside the boundaries of Orb's territorial waters, and sent a request to Orb to dismiss Asghar as a representative, dissolve the parliament immediately, remove Yang Hui from all his duties, and escort him to the Atlantic Federation, and also demand the disbandment of all troops.

This demand, let alone Orb, is impossible for any force to accept, this is no longer to force Orb to submit, but to destroy Orb's country!

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Atlantic Federation did not give Orb any chance in the first place, and it is clear that it wants to beat you!

"Looks like a war is inevitable, Orb and the Earth Army." After listening to the news, Mentor Marchio sighed helplessly, "People can easily become enemies with each other. ”

"Why are Orb and the Earth Army ......?"

The three of them can actually see the reason, they also know the information that Panama has been captured, the Earth Army has lost all the mass accelerators, and the mass accelerators that Orb has are the best targets.

However, it wasn't long ago that Orb became an enemy of ZAFT and took away the territory of Papua New Guinea from ZAFT, and they all thought that even if Orb wanted to join the war, he would join the side of the Earth Army to deal with them, but now it is ......

"Hehe, is this neutrality?" Diego smiled bitterly, he really looked down on Orb's behavior of pretending to be high and left and right, but now he looks at it...... In the face of the pressure of a strong army but uncompromising, I have respect.

Just then, a little boy came up to them and yelled at them, "Badass ZAFT! I'll kill you all when I'm older! ”

After yelling, he kicked Diego and ran away in a rage.

"Don't make a fuss!" Mentor Marchio reprimanded, and then apologized to the three Aslans, "I'm really sorry that he lost both of his parents in the battle you fought against Carpentaria. ”

The three of them were silent ......, and this sentence was another punch to the shaking heart.

"It's easy to expand the flames of war, but it's even more difficult to extinguish them."

“…… Thank you for your guidance. The trio bowed to Mentor Marchio and thanked them, feeling the scared, hateful gazes of the children, and they didn't want to stay here any longer, and ......

"What should I do?" Diego asked Aslan.

"War...... It's always been so cruel. "The gentle Nigaul couldn't bear it, he was still such a young child, he lost his parents because of the war, he understood the cruelty of war, and he also understood that he was on both sides of the enemy, and it was natural to kill the enemy, but ...... The shouts and hateful gazes still pierced his heart.

"Let's go to Orb." Aslan decided.

"Are you going to go to war?" Diego asked Aslan.

"I don't know, but ...... I think we should take a look, maybe...... The answer will be found. ”

"......" Nigaul and Diego were silent, and finally nodded, until now they have not been able to make a final choice, but they all want to go to Orb to see, to see Orb's persistence, to see Orb's beliefs, to see how far Orb, a country they love and hate, can go and what kind of character will be shown.

Maybe...... They can really find the answers they want.

……

The Atlantic Federation's fleet was approaching, and it was naturally impossible for Orb to be unaware, and after receiving the ultimatum from the Atlantic Federation, even Uzmi and Yang Hongyu, who had always had good literacy, couldn't help but be furious.

"Ultimatum!?"

"Your country has turned a deaf ear to the current state of the world, abandoned its responsibilities and obligations as a nation of the earth, and insisted on choosing to be alone, even refusing to cooperate despite our repeated requests, and now the United Earth Force will make the following demands to the United Emirate of Orb on behalf of the other member states:

The current Government of the United Arab Emirates of Orb resigned with immediate effect.

2. Disarm the country and disband its armed forces.

3. Yang Hui was relieved of all duties and escorted to the Third Fleet of the Atlantic Federation.

If the above requirements are not met within 48 hours, the United Earth will consider Orb to be a country supporting ZAFT and will confront it by force. ”

After reading the official statement from the Atlantic Federation, the representative of Homora threw it on the table, angry and helpless.

"What is this requirement!? This is to make Orb destroy the country! As soon as Panama fell, they didn't even do superficial work!? Those bastards of the Atlantic Federation! ”

"The fleet of the Atlantic Federation has gone south to the Pacific Ocean."

"What they want is a mass accelerator, [Aurorano] and ...... Yang Hui. ”

"It's impossible to say yes!" Yang Hongyu saw that some of the eyes of the people present were loose, and he slapped the table and stood up and shouted, whether it was as a high-ranking person of Orb or a father, it was impossible for him to agree.

"But...... Even if we solemnly protest against these unreasonable demands, no country will dare to defy the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation has always been the dog leg of the Atlantic Federation, the East Asian Federation is also exhausted, and countries such as the Equatorial Union, the Kingdom of Scandinavia, and other countries that once insisted on neutrality have also joined the Earth Federation, and it seems that we have to make a choice. ”

"ZAFT has been informed of the situation and has sent an offer for talks from the Carbonylia base, saying that as long as we withdraw from Papua New Guinea and return the Torres Strait and the Gulf of Papua, it can help us."

"Does the Atlantic Federation have to split the world in two!?" Uzmi cursed, but also questioned the crowd, "Either friend or foe, and we Orb must abandon our ideas and laws and be at their mercy to fight against the forcibly assigned enemy?" ”

"To join the alliance is to be the enemy of PLANT; If you join PLANT, you will be the enemy of the alliance, even if you join the alliance now and avoid the current strife, but Orb will be gone, and in the blink of an eye, you will repeat the mistakes of Panama! Yang Hongyu continued, "Didn't we make our choice a long time ago, didn't we!?" ”

A question, those with firm eyes remained firm, and those with wavering eyes lowered their heads in shame.

That's right, they didn't make the choice a long time ago, did they? For the sake of Orb's rebirth, for the sake of the flame of inheritance, they have already decided their own ending.

"Representative Yang Hongyu, how is the evacuation transfer of the people going?" Uzmi asked.

"The last nationals willing to retain their Aub citizenship have been sent away."

“…… What about those who don't? ”

"Three days ago, an evacuation notice was issued, and all of them left, and now only 3% of the people in the country are unwilling to leave......

Speaking of which, Yang Hongyu is proud, Uzmi is also proud, everyone present is proud, these 3% of the people who are unwilling to leave are the people who have made up their minds to live and die with Obu, although it is only 3%, but this is also the greatest recognition of them, and it is also the best comfort and affirmation for Obu, which shows that Obu's concept is not wrong!

"Let's let them go." Uzmi finally decided that although he was glad that there were citizens who were willing to live and die with the country, they were all precious sparks, and for the sake of Obu's nirvana, they should take refuge in their homeland and wait for the right opportunity to return to Obu.

"I've sent people to persuade me many times, but they just won't leave, alas." Yang Hongyu said with a headache.

"Did you notify Yang Hui?"

"It's been notified."

"What did he say?"

He said...... Tie up the boat and send it away. ”

"Forehead ......" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, I have to say that this practice is very Yang Hui.
