The cockpit of the V2 Gundam is not too big, and it is not very flat. When there is gravity, one person can barely stand in it, but it is not very comfortable. After Lux was tired from crying, she added some water and rested in the driver's seat. Ed leaned on the chair beside him and listened to her quietly.
"...That's all I know, and then the communication equipment was discovered there." Lux lowered her head, her voice still a little depressed.
Eddard sorted out the information in his mind based on the information provided by Lux.
This time, he completely misjudged the political situation of PLANT, putting himself and the people around him in danger. I thought it was a tour group from a developed country, but it turned out to be a free travel in Syria. According to his original expectation, PLANT can at least maintain the tripartite for a long time. Who said the triangle is the strongest shape
It was as early as he expected that Sarah wanted to take revenge in a frenzy, and there was nothing to say, but Xiaya's behavior was beyond his expectations. He didn't believe that Ishaya's IQ would not be able to see that PLANT was defeated or not. Even if Sarah was finally thrown out as a scapegoat, it would hurt PLANT's vitality, and what benefit would it do to himself? Is it just for the sake of Unified Supreme Council
Lux explained PLANT's old story to him without reservation, and even told him the amount of nuclear fuel she knew. He also asked about the existence of Genesis, and Lux said at least she didn't know. Even if the secret level of this thing is so high that she doesn't know it, or the project has just been approved, according to the equivalent of the PLANT nuclear fuel reserve she said, it is not enough to make the Genesis in his memory. Or do you want Australia's uranium mines to create Genesis
"Char Aznabu is a very capable person." Lux seemed to be thinking the same thing, "Shortly after the one-year war, all the forces of the Zabi faction were incorporated. Father was originally in the army. There is also some influence, which Aznab has eroded step by step after he entered politics."
A mystery that none of the Kleinists on the Eternal was solved, and it was Char again.
"He has no idea what method he has used to control Uncle Sarah. Even if the defeat will have no effect on Aznabu, there is nothing to expect from the grass in the council. Although my father still left me some Private power, but now that both the military and the government are impeccable, I am a wanted traitor again." Lux sighed faintly, "I don't know how to make a comeback."
Ed didn't speak, just stared at the starry sky outside quietly.
"I have... I have no use value anymore. Maybe I know some secrets of PLANT, but my value as Klein's daughter is gone." The girl's voice was a little tired, "If you can, please don't give me to The Federation? To be the couch of the big man is more uncomfortable than death, but I don’t know if I have the courage to die.”
Isn't there only a third option besides federation and PLANT? Is she expressing herself against the federation to keep her? Doesn't someone as smart as her know that this kind of circumstantial statement is more likely to be distrusted
"I'm sorry, I used such a cunning statement unconsciously. It sounds a lot like selling misery to gain sympathy." She didn't expect her response, as if she was talking to herself, "Now think about it, Mr. Eddard just now. When I said impulsively that I believed in me, I was overjoyed for a long time. When I was crying in Mr. Ed’s arms, I also hoped in my heart that Mr. Ed would be tempted by this and would say that he wanted to protect me.”
She was right, she was really impulsive, but why did she have to explain it like this
"Actually, I've told the truth myself, that's who I am. Even telling the truth hysterically, even explaining it to yourself now, is for me to achieve the results I want, and in the end, Really achieved. When you hear me say this, you will only think that Lux is a girl with a complicated heart, but she also has her pitiful girl, so when the federation wants to take me away, you will definitely stand up to protect I."
She was right again, her thoughts and plans were all right, but there was no need to say it, you just need to know it silently.
"After that, I'll probably let you push me at a suitable time. No, it's easier for Mr. Ed to push you. I'll change your name to Ed, and then say that you don't need to. Being responsible for me, having other people you like is okay, and so on, it makes you feel guilty and responsible. In this way, it's only a matter of time before you get real feelings."
What good is it to her to tear her thoughts apart and show them to the other party...
"That way, even on the moon, I can have my own place, with someone who likes me and will protect me. It's really not that difficult for me, and Mr. Ed, even if you listen to me You don't feel disgusted with me after saying so much, do you?" Lux laughed inexplicably, "Thank you for believing in me, really, thank you. But I am such a disgusting woman, and this is probably already the case. Instinct..."
The girl did not make any more sound, and the air became quiet again, only the sound of waves lapping against the shore could be vaguely heard in the distance.
"...I believe in you, I believe in every word you just said." Ed looked at the sky without turning to look at her, "I believe in your fear of life being worse than death, I believe in your attack on my plan, I believe you are like this Man, I believe you sincerely thank me."
"… "
"So I don't know that you are going to do this and send it to the door stupidly, then let's make a deal again." He felt the girl's gaze, "When the war is over, I will find a way to send you back to PLANT... "
"Is this your choice, I will... accept it with a smile."
"... Then find a way to get Char to step down and realize your ideals as a statesman. In exchange, I want all of PLANT's technology, access to research on alien fossils, and full support to Jupiter." Ed couldn't help but turn his head to read At a glance, the girl's head was buried so low that she couldn't see her expression clearly, "I said it's alright for you to make a comment after listening to it, I'm sick of you keep saying such sensational lines."
Lux was silent for a while, and didn't ask him where the confidence came from, and then asked in a low voice, "How can Mr. Eddine guarantee that a habitual criminal like me will keep his promise when he comes to power?"
"I'll think of a way later, I can only trust you for now."
"Please think of a way." The girl's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "I don't even believe in myself..."
Neither of them spoke again, and when Eddard looked at her again after a while, the girl was already asleep. He took off his jacket and put it on Lux, silently left the cockpit, and came to the ground.
Of course he had no intention of going to sleep. He originally planned to stay overnight until the sun came out, and then set off for Australia as soon as his vision was restored. He walked around on the ground to sort out his mood, then rested on V2's feet, thinking about what happened next.
Australia, which is about to deal with, is one of the main members of the Earth Federation. The most important military base in Australia is the Turlington base where Pumu once stayed. Due to the existence of uranium mines, it was also an important nuclear reserve base for the Federal Army, but neutron jammers have made this place less than what it used to be.
In order to avoid repeating the oolong of Britannia, Ed carefully reviewed the modern history, and registered a trumpet on the Anaheim forum, and he spat with people in the historical edition, to This test is whether you have learned something.
The map of this world is roughly the same as in the previous life, except that North and South America was replaced by the behemoth of Britannia. After countries began space exploration, several major powers, including cloth, China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and Australia, took the lead and established the Earth Federation. Although it is a federation in name, it is not the unified regime of the US imperialists in the previous life, but more like a huge political community born to divide up space resources.
Militarily, countries have jointly established the Earth Federation Army, but some oversized countries such as Britannia still maintain a considerable standing army. Politically, each major member state still maintains a fairly high degree of administrative autonomy.
For a small country, the Earth Federation is not necessarily a benefit. Once it joins, the military power and administrative power will be completely deprived and handed over to the Federation, but due to its weak strength, it will not account for any benefits when distributing benefits.
In general, it perfectly demonstrates the cruel laws of this world. A small country without human rights joins and still has no human rights, and a large country with privileges joins and still has privileges. Basically, it is the story of the world's vested interests uniting and dividing up the earth. . When Ed looked at this history, he only felt that the food of these bigwigs was too ugly.
Some unwilling small countries can of course choose not to join, but don't blame the federal government for targeting you. At the beginning, Japan, as a developed country, was unwilling to join the Earth Federation for some reason, and as a result, under the conspiracy and pressure from all parties, the regime was divided. Some people stayed in the four islands of Japan and continued to be bullied by the Federation, while others left and gradually evolved into the current Orb.
About the history of Britannia Ed focused on two things that he found strange. One is that many years ago, Britannia suddenly announced the mining rights to the Antarctic, prohibiting any countries and forces from intervening, and then paid a compensation to the federation every year. The other is that in recent years, Britannia suddenly held military exercises near Japan, and then excused that a MS pilot was missing, forcibly entered the Japanese territory to search, and occupied the entire territory of Japan.
It was Antarctica and Japan again, and he felt a little stunned. He hurriedly searched the Internet, but fortunately, he didn't find a place called Third New Tokyo City.
He didn't know why Britannia had such a big resentment towards Antarctica and Japan, but his first reaction was something related to Code and Geass. The fact that CC went to Japan also indirectly proved that he was right, etc. Just ask her directly.
It is worth mentioning that the blue cosmos in this world is a rather fictitious organization. I can't find out who the leader is on the Internet, and I don't know the source of the organization's funds. In the beginning, it was just an existence like a fan club that engaged in small-scale terrorist attacks. Before we knew it, our comrades were scattered all over the world, and it felt like a "reactionary organization supported by foreign forces." There are all kinds of opinions on the Internet about who is behind the scenes. Ed looked around, but none of them seemed to be reliable.
Time passed quickly in the wild thoughts, and when the first rays of sunlight crossed the horizon, Ed stood up and stretched.
When he returned to the cockpit, Lux was still in a light sleep, and the girl in the dream had a slight smile on her lips and a very calm expression, which made him unable to help but take a second glance and did not wake up immediately. Just when he finally made up his mind to wake the girl up, Lux suddenly opened her eyes in a daze, staring at the figure in front of her in a daze.
After a moment of silence, the girl's eyes finally recovered.
"Good morning, Mr. Ed." Lux noticed the clothes on her body and smiled as usual, "Thank you, I slept soundly last night, and I am refreshed today."
Everything that happened yesterday was like a dream, and the girl in front of him seemed to be back to what he was familiar with in his memory.
Hours later, before V2 had reached Australian airspace, a Commonwealth MS appeared in front of him.
"Is it Dr. Adrian Lingus in the Gundam-type MS that has no identification signal on the other side?" A voice he never thought of came out on the public channel, "This is the Federal Army Australian Military Region Tring on a search and rescue mission. Toton Base, Captain Graham Aika."
