Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"So the situation is like this. The mission of this ship will be transferred from chasing the unidentified ship No. 1 to investigating the situation of Junius. During this period, all pilots will cooperate with the maintenance team to perform maintenance on the aircraft. Once it arrives at the destination, it will be carried out by this ship. The ship carried out detection first, and the Sala team from the mainland is also on the way to support us. This time we will not be alone."

Kuratis's order directly caused a commotion in the entire ship. Many people were still a little bit resentful about giving up the pursuit mission, because the Phantom Pain group not only snatched three Gundams, but they also indirectly Ruined Minerva's launching ceremony.

The 'Goddess of Wisdom', which was given high hopes and should have set sail shining brightly in Lux's song, has almost fallen to the level of 'joke' in terms of reputation now. It was raided on its first show, and as a result, the pursuit battle failed to achieve anything. As a result, they were ridiculed again, and the ship and the chairman almost sank on their own territory. This kind of result made some arrogant adjusters feel a bit embarrassed.

But the significance of Junius is self-evident to PLANT. If it were for other reasons, it would be fine. Now that something unusual has happened to this special landmark, as the ZAFT force closest to the fragment, it is appropriate to go and take a look. Not to mention the idol of all PLANT, that Aslan Sala will also lead his team to make his official debut for the first time in two years.

Under Durandal's deliberate guidance, the traffic originally contracted by Lux alone is now slowly being transferred to Aslan. Many young people who only liked Lux ​​in the past now also regard Aslan as their idol, and this phenomenon of fans' "single push to double push" is a result that Durandal is happy to see.

There is no other reason. Hero idolization has always been a very sensitive method. Looking back on the entire 1971 war, Aslan stood firm and never changed sides. Even if it was discovered that the Justice Gundam was aboard the Eternity in Jachin Due, it was only because of the meteor. On the Eternity, Aslan boarded his fiancée's pirate ship in order to save countless fellow adjusters. Not to mention that after Mia was born, Durandal was cleared of Lax's treason charges, so Aslan's behavior changed. It became 'On the way to save the country, I took time to see my fiancée', and the whole style immediately changed from collaboration to romance.

Such Aslan Sara naturally absorbed his father's political legacy after the war. In order to counteract Orb's aggressive promotion of their heroes, many ZAFT insiders once wanted to turn Aslan into a PLANT. The heroes came to fight, but Durandal drew the ladder at this time.

He not only revoked Aslan's position in ZAFT, but also moved him from the position of white clothes to be promoted to the position of LFWY. He showed his essence through his promotion and demotion.

Not only that, he also gave speeches in public many times, claiming that he hoped to see Aslan and Lux ​​get married as soon as possible. This made many Lux fans completely change from singles to CP.

But from then on, Aslan was rarely mentioned as the 'Hero of PLANT'. Many newcomers like Luna and Shin could only see the Justice Gundam in teaching videos. , the distance between Aslan and the general public was further artificially torn apart.

However, Aslan is not a 'lazy dog' like Kira. Behind him are many young and old members of the Sala sect. This Junius fragment is an excellent opportunity. Originally, it was impossible for Durandal to let Aslan Silan had the opportunity to form a team and go on a mission, but some people in the council came up with the reason of 'Renoya Sara'. As a son of a human being, he went to express his condolences in front of his mother's tombstone. This was a reason that even Durandal could not refuse publicly.

Therefore, Aslan finally got a chance to take action after being away from the battlefield for two years. Considering that the current treaty has not completely expired, ZAFT cannot let him openly launch the Justice Gundam. Siegfried guessed that his plane is most likely to be That red savior.

After listening to the briefing as a 'temporary non-staff' in the conference room, the first thing Siegfried had to calculate was the timing of leaving the ship. Aslan is currently the only insider in PLANT who has seen him in person. Even if he deceives strangers with a mask, Durandal is obviously already a little suspicious. He is really going to be discovered by Aslan in subsequent contacts. If there is a flaw, it seems like it’s no big deal.

What gave Siegfried the confidence was the second news from Kuratis. Orb had sent two battleships, the Archangel and the Izumo, to the location of the fragment in advance. If the fragment was confirmed If the deflection is not large, then Orb will completely push this thing away from the solar system. If the deflection of the debris is irreversible, Orb will choose to completely crush Junius 7, and Mina issued a notice to PLANT, rather than a letter of inquiry.

Originally, the fragments fell irreversibly because Minerva arrived too late and there was phantom pain during the crushing operation, which caused the entire cutting plan to not go smoothly. But this time Orb reacted extremely quickly. According to Curatis' prediction, they could arrive at the scene before Minerva.

Moreover, the appearance of the Archangel is equivalent to an invisible deterrent. Even fools know that it must be carrying combat troops. Siegfried and Kira may be on it. Even Atlantic, who has never dealt with it, has restrained his temper. , so even if there is an attack during the decomposition operation, if there are fewer people, it will be to deliver food to Orb, but if there are more people, it is impossible to hide until today without being discovered.

In addition, Mina used the excuse of "inadequate observation" to ask the waste dealer on Genesis α to give an explanation. It was obvious that her warning was sent out more than half a month ago. Why did no one take it seriously? For such a huge waste dealer to try to muddle through is simply questioning Mina's IQ.

At the same time as Mina launched his attack, Lars, who had not yet set off from the earth, contacted Lolita from Snake Tail. The content of the conversation was whether Snake Tail was interested in taking over Genesis Alpha as a base. If he felt that he was not strong enough to defend such a large For a fortress, expanding the recruitment is also a good choice.

Lolita immediately said that this matter was too relevant and she needed to consult with the team members before making a decision. After half a day, the contact person became that difficult guy Li De. This greasy uncle seemed to have a natural negotiation skill, constantly testing Lars's bottom line and demonstrating his extremely skilled asking skills.

After receiving the news, Li De combined the intelligence in his hands and came to an inference that shocked him, that is, Orb was preparing to open up the country. The first target was chosen to be Genesis α, and the reason was very simple. Uzmi had only died two years ago, and the original slogan of "Don't invade other countries, don't be invaded by other countries" is still in my ears.

At the same time, the current national power in the Earth Circle is relatively stable. It is impossible for Orb to take the risk of ruining its reputation by forcibly annexing its allies. Not only will its in-laws, the Kingdom of Scandinavia, not support such an act, but even if it is currently providing The United States of South America, which produces minerals and food, may fall into the East Asian camp.

Therefore, Orb set his sights on the universe and needed to open up a second cosmic fulcrum outside of the Heavenly Pillar. Then nothing could be a more ideal base than the Genesis α made of PS armor.
