Stella hid behind the cover and skillfully changed the magazines, taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's suppression of shooting and raising her gun to return fire. Time is running out, and reinforcements from the other side will arrive at any time.
This time, a group of six people disguised as tourists and mixed into PLANT, and divided into two three-person teams, the targets were Justice Gundam and Freedom Gundam. The Freedom Gundam attacked with the Eternal, and the group of three lurked on the ship early, only to wait for the end of the mourning event when everyone was at their most relaxed. Justice Gundam stopped at the ZAFT military base, and her group of three was responsible for sneaking in and robbing it.
Although there is a map of the military base, it is worthy of being the top secret of ZAFT, and it was discovered when it finally arrived at Gnaku. Stinger has been shot dead, and only she and Orr are left.
The mission must be completed, and only one person can ride the Gundam, that is to say, one of her and Orr must be able to attract firepower, and the other must take advantage of the chaos to capture MS. She is closer to Justice Gundam, so Orr will go to attract firepower. Everything is given priority to the task, and life is not important in the face of the task. She and Orr both understand this truth.
She checked her eyes with Orr who was behind the bunker on the other side, and then threw a homemade smoke bomb with materials bought in the supermarket at the local crowd. This was the last one. Orr started cover fire with the last clip, and she took advantage of the gap to charge towards the cockpit of the Justice Gundam.
A soldier in green suddenly stopped in front of her with a gun, which was the last obstacle between her and the cockpit. Under the influence of the drug, her reflex nerves even surpassed that of some of the adjusters. She stared at the opponent's wrist, slammed into the other side at the moment when the opponent opened fire, and then skillfully cut the opponent with a fruit knife bought from the supermarket. neck.
Don't be faster than the bullet, be faster than the person shooting the gun.
Stella opened the cockpit of the Justice Gundam according to the instructions in memory, jumped in and sat in the cockpit. The last moment she closed the hatch she saw Orr being beaten into a hornet's nest, but she was indifferent. Well done, the task is half done.
The system of Justice Gundam starts to start, and various modules start to load. As written in the action plan, the most difficult password authentication was turned on, but unfortunately, she knew the password.
But the boot screen, the operating system, the conch-shaped pattern that fades to almost invisible in the lower right corner, except for the ZAFT LOGO displayed in the center of the screen, all indicate that this is a genuine Adrian Lingos product. Stella remembered that she saw on TV a few days ago that this was completely independently developed by ZAFT. Does adding a LOGO this year count as independent research and development? These adults are really shameless, just like on Earth.
She finally checked the medicine in her pocket, and it was enough, enough to support the Alexander class. Ready to go.
In the next second, Justice Gundam rose to the sky under the shocked eyes of the ZAFT soldiers, and the backpack on his back spurted a scorching flame, heading towards the universe outside the satellite. No matter in terms of speed or energy, there is no possibility of recovering the Justice Gundam for the other bodies remaining in the space port. The members of the Supreme Council learned of the news at the first time, and immediately initiated a communication to the Eternal.
And on the Eternal at this moment, Ed was also in shock.
According to the routine of general romance dramas, at this time Ed should ask "what did you want to say just now", Lux replied "nothing you heard wrong", and then everyone looked at each other for a while. Then Ed showed a gentle smile, and Lux was inspired by the deer, and finally said "Actually I...", so that the plot can progress in the direction that everyone likes to see.
But he didn't have the time to think about it now, instead his mind was full of question marks. intruder? How did you get on board? Or was it lurking on the ship before sailing? What is the purpose? Him, Lux, or Freedom Gundam? Is ZAFT all waste? A facility of this level of the Eternal can also infiltrate the enemy
"I just hope that the enemy's purpose is not the Freedom Gundam." Lux found a seat and sat down, looking worried, completely forgetting that she had stopped talking just now, "Otherwise, it will explain the anti-neutron jammer thing. It has been exposed, and there is a possibility of war."
"But it will be revealed sooner or later. Is this kind of secret expected to be hidden for a lifetime?" Ed disagreed. "The moon and PLANT combined are afraid that half the ship's people will know it, and it's only a matter of time before the Earth Federation knows."
"I understand." Lux gave him a wry smile. "The Neutron Interference Eliminator can be given, or even given one day, but it must not be given in this way."
"Can you give it out?" This is the first time I've heard of it. Is this Lux's distinctive governing philosophy
"Yes, it will even be given out." Lux explained patiently, seeing that he was very interested, "Originally, the Klein faction did not support the research on neutron interference cancellers, but now that they have, We can only maximize its value. Once the Earth Federation knows its existence, it will inevitably threaten us to hand it over. Here we can use the negotiation to delay for a period of time, and we can expand our arms and prepare for war. After that, the Earth Federation will most likely declare war, but we are impossible to fight. We can win the war of attrition, but we can use the energy advantage to cause certain results in the early stage.”
"Using war for peace?"
"That's right. Active peace talks can take place during a period of strategic advantage. The Earth Federation is just a loose political alliance, and for a relatively neutral and energy-intensive country like China, neutron interference cancellers are exchanged for nuclear fuel. It's totally acceptable."
"So the core idea is to have a core and self-respect?" It seems that Lux understands, this plan at least sounds more reliable than his father's. .
"Using nuclear deterrence and nuclear bundling to re-establish strategic balance, and then neutron jammers can even be used to trade with more countries. This will usher in a longer period of peaceful development, at which time PLANT can rapidly improve technology Level. With the ability of the adjuster, it is completely possible to develop the technical advantages of the next stage during this period, and then form a virtuous circle.”
Ed was a little surprised when he saw Lux talking eloquently. When we met before, she always tried to show her girly side, just like she always played to others. To be honest, he played very well, and he was very happy to watch. But what's going on now, as if showing his side as a politician without caring.
"What's the matter, is there something on my face?" Lux looked at him curiously, "Or is there something wrong with what I said?"
"No, there is no problem. What you said is indeed a feasible method. If you seek peace through struggle, peace will exist, and if you seek peace through compromise, peace will die. This is a philosophy that I have always agreed with. It's just," he hesitated. After a while, I still decided to say, "I always feel that you are a little different."
"Is there? Is it Mr. Ed's illusion?" Lux put on that familiar, cute and perfect smile like acting, "I've always been like this today, really, always been. …”
The atmosphere became a little strange again, and it seemed like a good time to ask "what did you want to say earlier", but intuition told Ed not to ask further, and he chose to trust his intuition. Recently, he has become more and more trusting in his intuition. Does this mean that his way of thinking is gradually becoming NT? But no matter how Lux behaves, there must be her deep meaning and purpose. I can't understand it anyway, so there is no need to worry about it.
"How did the enemy sneak onto the ship?" He decided to change the subject. The atmosphere was too weird. "Isn't the Eternal the highest-level secret of ZAFT? Or is there a mutiny on board?"
"Mutiny is unlikely. Everyone on the ship has undergone a rigorous background review." Seeing that Ed did not intend to continue, Lux seemed relieved, "The biggest possibility is to sneak on board in advance. This time is also, after the event is over, it is the time when everyone is the most relaxed. If you think about it this way, it is the most reliable guess that there is an insider who has leaked information beforehand.”
"Then if we consider this direction, is the Justice Gundam on PLANT also dangerous?" In Ed's mind, the military bases in this world are not closed. It is also the reason why all the machines he designed have power-on passwords that are extremely difficult to crack. However, some people refuse to use this function after buying it back, maybe because of some military regulations, and he can't do anything about it. As a result, everyone has seen that GP02 is just like this, it's not his fault anyway.
In addition to handing over the identification of his own silver mine to Alice, he had both F91 and V2 to add the power-on authentication to Shin and Uraki, and even the battleship had a power-on password that only CC knew—he wouldn't drive the ship anyway.
"It's in a heavily defended military area. It's impossible to say it." Lux looked at Ed's disapproving expression and didn't care. After the alarm was lifted, he realized that he was right.
The two chatted for a while, and then there was no topic. Ed was not familiar with Lux to that point, and he couldn't find so many topics to talk about. What surprised him was that Lux didn't take the initiative to find a topic. It seems that today She is really not normal.
Ed looked at the starry sky outside the window and thought about other things. It is said that it is outside the window, but in fact it is not by the window, the wall is just the broadcast of the monitor outside the ship. The red light of the siren was bright, and the reflections in the room blocked the view of the stars.
The screen showed Lux's appearance. She took off the hairpin on her head and looked over and over between her fingers, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. After playing for a while, he took the hairpin back, and then raised his head and suddenly saw himself on the screen. The two looked at each other, and she showed that perfect smile again.
This is the third time I feel this way today. She probably didn't do it for herself, but really liked the way the card was issued. However, this kind of thinking is a bit self-indulgent, he doesn't want to admit it, and he can't judge whether the other party intends to make him have this kind of misunderstanding, after all, it is Lux.
After a while, the alarm finally went off, and the door to the room was automatically unlocked. After a few seconds, Pu Mu appeared at the door: "Doctor, are you alright!"
"It's okay, you came just in time, let's go to the bridge." He looked at Lux, who nodded and said to go together. He and Lux obviously have this authority.
A group of three people came to the bridge, and both Cruzer and Aslan were there. There was blood on Aslan's body, but he didn't appear to be injured. It was estimated that it belonged to an intruder or an injured comrade-in-arms. Aslan nodded like they did, or just to Lux, who he didn't know well after all.
"Captain Cruze, what happened?" Lux asked aloud. At this time, it is indeed much more convenient for her to come forward than herself, no matter what, she is always an outsider.
"Miss Lux, Dr. Lingos, it's great that the two of you are safe." Cruzer stomped slightly and slowly floated in front of him, "Three terrorists have invaded the Eternal in an attempt to seize the Freedom Gundam. All have been killed, and we are in contact with the headquarters. The enemy is likely to have accomplices outside to respond, and it is safer for the two to return to the room. "
"Captain, I have contacted Senator Sarah." The CIC staff glanced at Ed and Lux.
Cruzer set off again and floated to the man's side, picked up the earphone and started talking to Sarah, nodding from time to time, his voice was very low, and he couldn't hear clearly here. After a while, he hung up the communication and started the whole ship broadcast.
"Attention to all personnel, the ZAFT space port was attacked by terrorists fifteen minutes ago. Our army's latest MS Justice Gundam was seized by the enemy and is currently escaping. The latest mission received by this ship is to intercept the Justice Gundam at all costs. All combatants are ready for battle. All non-combatants please return to the room, the ship will not return until the mission is completed. Repeat…”
Ed looked at Lux with an expression like I'll say it, and Lux looked in disbelief.
"I thought that only the bases of the Federal Army were sieves, so it turns out ZAFT is too." Pu Mu whispered, "The world is as dark as a crow."
"I'm sorry, you two." Cruze came over again, with an apologetic tone in his voice, but he couldn't see his expression wearing a mask, "The mission of this ship has been changed, this is the top priority, and the two of you can only endure until the mission. ended."
"Captain Cruze, in addition to me and Dr. Lingos, there are many ordinary people who came to participate in the event." Lux said in a negotiating tone, "Can you use the lifeboat to send these ordinary people back first? PLANT It should be possible to send warships to meet up. Not doubting our military's combat effectiveness, but we can't involve civilians in dangerous engagements."
"With all due respect, Miss Lux, you are still too naive." Cruzer waved his hand gracefully, "I said it just now, now there are likely to be accomplices of the enemy lurking outside, and it is the time to release the lifeboat at this time. The most dangerous thing is that these crazy terrorists don't know what to do. It's the safest time on the ship."
Lux seemed to be persuaded and did not continue the argument. However, Ed did not trust Cruzer at all, and was ready to run away at any time. Although the V2 is a battery machine, it may not be able to last to the nearest human settlement. It is still possible to make a help call to the moon. Although he and Roland and his wife are not iron, this face is still to be given.
But if justice is really taken away, it means that the Earth Federation will have a neutron interference canceller. It won't be another war, right? CC is still on Earth. Hope Cruzer can stop... Wait a minute, Cruzer? This is simply meat buns beating dogs! It would be hell if the Justice Gundam could get it back!
He looked at Lux, who didn't know anything about it, and wondered how much he would gain if he told her this information. Intellectually, he was in favor of Lux's governing philosophy, and he also longed for peace. Black technology, aliens, God knows what else is behind, can the two sides stop for a while
So if PLANT really came to power with a ruler like Lux, it would actually be in line with his interests, at least better than Sara and Char, I don't know how much, but it would be a loss to tell her so vainly
"You two, please don't worry." Cruze showed a bright smile on his face, as if something very happy happened, "I will never let the top secrets of our army fall into the hands of the enemy. meeting!"
