Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 845 Honesty is the basis for building trust
"really?"

Although Lin Youde's answer was very straightforward, Celene still asked again.

Sensing the other party's worry-filled emotions, Lin Youde smiled slightly and returned.

"This is naturally true. Now, under the joint threat of the earth, you can be guaranteed safe. In the entire solar system, there are only Orb and PLANT."

"Unless you are willing to go to Mars, you will not be able to escape the United Earth's pursuit."

"Not to mention that there are librarians involved now. With the temperament of those people, as long as you don't have a certain combat power, even if you escape to Mars, it may not be useful."

"And the current Orb has also been forced to the side of PLANT by the Earth Alliance, and there is no way to maintain absolute neutrality."

"Therefore, there is no difference between accepting our asylum and accepting PLANT's asylum."

Celene calmly analyzed and asked again.

"In this case, why don't I choose Plant? Orb instead?"

As soon as Celene said this, Sven, Muti, and Sams all looked at her in surprise.

Saul hastily grabbed Celene's sleeve.

"Selene..."

Lin Youde chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm different from the Earth United and the librarians. Even if you don't choose Aub, we won't do anything to you."

"Actually, between Orb and Plant, it's not incomprehensible that Plant will be chosen first."

"It's better to say that a normal person would choose a plant with a larger body and stronger industrial capabilities, right?"

Such a candid statement, without any shyness.What Lin Youde did made Celene and Sol a little confused.

Miu Di, who was watching the play from the sidelines, couldn't help but interjected.

"Hey, you say that, she won't choose you Aub, right?"

"Mutie!"

Samus quickly stopped Miuti, preventing her from continuing.

He has not forgotten that the lives of the three of them are still in Lin Youde's hands.

In this regard, Lin Youde shrugged and replied.

"No way, this is an indisputable fact."

"Even if you think about it for a while, the technical force and financial chain behind it is definitely quite powerful to be able to research the MS that is being targeted by the Earth Federation and librarians."

"Such an organization is still full of adjusters. I don't believe that there is no funding from ZAFT behind the scenes."

Seeing that Lin Youde's attitude seemed to be easy to talk to, Muti also plucked up his courage: "Then you still dare to ask for it? Aren't you trying to steal food from ZAFT?"

Lin Youde was too confident: "Why don't you dare to ask for it!?"

"Those of you who are stuck in the battlefield and the research institute may not be very clear about the current situation."

"Although Orb has been forced to stand on the same boat as Plant, accepting Orb's asylum and accepting Plant's asylum, the difference is actually not that big."

"But ZAFT is just PLANT's military organization, and within PLANT, there are various party divisions."

"It just so happens that Padrik Sala's main faction is still in control of ZAFT."

"It is true that the conflict between the Earth United and PLANT is almost irreconcilable now, and the main combat faction is very necessary."

"But, do you really want to put the body you made into the battlefield, intervene in the fight between human beings, and make it a killing tool?"

Faced with Lin Youde's questioning, Celene remained silent.

Lin Youde looked at Celene and said, "You didn't go back to PLANT directly but did research in this kind of place. Presumably you don't want to get involved in the war and let your research become a tool for killing people, right?"

Asking again made Celene even more silent.

At this time, Lacus stood up very appropriately, rounding off the situation.

"I'm Lacus Klein, and my father is the former speaker of PLANT, Siegel Klein."

"If you have concerns about Orb, you can also accept the protection of our Klein faction."

"Although I'm married to Orb now, our Klein faction still has some influence in PLANT."

As soon as Lacus said this, Celene finally understood what Lin Youde meant.

'If you don't accept the asylum of Orb, you can only accept the asylum of the ZAFT army and hand over the research materials. '

'Accepting the asylum of Orb, can you also accept the asylum of the Plant Ricklein faction? '

'Simply choose one, or choose the other, this is the difference...'

Sighing helplessly in her heart, Sai Renee looked at Lin Youde and asked.

"Mr. Ashar, can you promise me that our technology will not be used in war?"

Lin Youde shook his head on the spot: "I cannot promise you this."

Muti couldn't understand: "Hey, can you just lie to her and say it's okay?"

"Afterwards, you can do whatever you want. Is there a string in your Aub's mind?"

"Isn't this too stupid?"

Muti's words changed Samus' expression drastically.

But Lin Youde's attitude is still very good.

"It's not stupid, it's honesty, honesty, it's the foundation of trust."

After explaining a little bit, Lin Youde added to Celene.

"I don't know what technology you use, so I can't guarantee it to you."

"If the technology you research can enhance the performance of mobile suits or enhance Orb's defense force, then neither we nor the ZAFT army will choose not to use it."

"For us, the most important thing right now is to live. Only by living can we have tomorrow and talk about dreams."

Lin Youde's powerful and candid speech made everyone in the DSSD Research Institute fall silent for a while.

They may not have taken these words seriously before, after all, the war is far away from them.

But after experiencing the incident of being attacked just now, they understood that what Lin Youde said was the truth.

People can talk about dreams only when they are alive.

At least for researchers like them, that's still the case.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Youde assured Celene.

"However, I can assure you that the MS you researched, that is, the previous Gundam, we will not put it into the battlefield."

"No matter what happens to that Gundam, it is your own property. Unless you agree, we will not take control of that Gundam without authorization."

"This is what I can assure you at the moment."

Seeing that Lin Youde talked about this.

Coupled with the information faintly revealed in the words of Lin Youde and Lacus before.

Although it's not about coercion and lure, Celene still knows how to choose among the people in the DSSD organization today.

After a long time, Celene replied: "I understand, I personally agree to accept Aub's asylum."

"But this institute, I am not the only one who can make the decisions. Please give us some time to discuss."

Lin Youde readily agreed: "Of course~!"
