Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 335 Time Has Changed ([-])

"Are you sure? Wouldn't it be a mistake?"

Kuratis rubbed her forehead in the Black Sea base, she naturally couldn't accept the abnormality from the captain's point of view.But she is also a mother, and she knows a thing or two about the tragedy of the Asuka family, so Kuratis hesitated to use this reason to punish her subordinates.

"It cannot be confirmed. At present, there is only the testimony of one member of the Asuka team. He himself can't even guarantee that what he saw must be his sister Mayu, let alone us."

"The first task now is to confirm whether he can still participate in the next stage of the mission, right? The compatriots in North Africa are still waiting for you, the hero of the Sara family, to lead them to defeat the United. The ship will set off early tomorrow morning at the latest. If Asuka is sure that he can no longer continue fighting, then Pulse Gundam will have to choose someone else. Such a precious combat power cannot be left idle like this."

Heine explained his attitude from the perspective of the mission. He just joined the team, and he doesn't feel as strongly about the truth as Curatis and the others. However, Heine does not agree with punishing the real bird. In the final analysis, it is because ZAFT's military discipline is still dominated by the rule of man, and the opinions of the superiors are basically the only reference standard.

"I also agree with no punishment, but the real bird is no longer suitable to continue to participate in the operations of this ship. I suggest that the Pulse Gundam be piloted by Lei."

After hearing the opinions of the two colleagues, Aslan finally made a decision, but Kuratis frowned, "Lei can't control the special mode of Impulse Gundam. In fact, the real flying bird is trained by Impulse Gundam pilots, unless the original backup pilot is transferred from PLANT."

"Then leave Impulse Gundam behind"

Just when Aslan was about to give up Impulse Gundam completely, after a rhythmic knock on the door, Lei pushed the door open and walked in.

"For the real bird's appeal, I have a better way."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Send Orb the news that his sister is in the phantom pain, make this a problem for Orb."

"Aub? Why would that country help us? They want both PLANT and the Atlantic to lose, right?"

Heine raised an objection. In his opinion, Orb is now accumulating his own strength. Once there is a loser in Plant and Atlantic Ocean, Orb will immediately show his fangs and bite fiercely.

"The lion of Asha's family once promised to Zhen himself that if he finds out his sister's whereabouts, he will help Zhen bring her back no matter what the price is."

"Is there such a thing?"

When visiting the Memorial Monument, only Lei, Luna, Mei Ling, Zhen and Siegfried were there, so Aslan and the others didn’t understand Ziegfried’s promise. Now that Lei talked about a newcomer like Heine, Aslan didn’t feel much, but Aslan felt mixed feelings.

"This is an internal matter of our ZAFT. If it is not the emergency situation in Africa, I, the captain, should be the captain to help the Birds find their families. What is it now left to Aubu?"

"Captain Sara, with all due respect, there is a second benefit for us to hand over this matter to Orb, which is to put Obra into this muddy water. PLANT cannot allow a country like that to sit back and watch tigers fight."

The three people in the room fell silent unanimously. If what Lei said is true, then this is indeed a good idea, but no one can guarantee the validity of Siegfried's promise. It stands to reason that he is now the second person in the Asha family. The credit of a politician is almost as cheap as toilet paper. This is almost everyone's consensus.

"I don't recognize the philosophy of the country of Orb, but I recognize the promise of a hero."

Ray’s supplement also allowed Aslan to make the final decision. The Minerva set off immediately after resupply at the Black Sea base, and at the same time sent information about the phantom pain to Orb. At this point, Aslan did not use any inductive descriptions. The very clear description was “Only the real bird confirmed it.”

While the top management was busy planning for the next step, Zhen sat alone in the infirmary. The doctor said that the wound on Luna's abdomen would be stuck into the spleen if it was a few millimeters away. Once the bleeding occurred during the battle, it would be impossible for a god to save her.

Looking at Luna who was quietly lying on the hospital bed, the originally energetic little round face now looked bloodless under the reflection of the light, and the feeling of powerlessness enveloped the young man's heart again.

After graduating from the military academy, he, Luna and Ray were smoothly arranged on the Minerva. He thought it was the best place to go at the same time. After all, Minerva, as ZAFT's most cutting-edge warship, was placed with high hopes by most people. In addition, Makoto stood out in the selection of Impulse Gundam pilots. At that time, he could be described as a wunderkind.

But then there was the armory incident, and the performance of Impulse Gundam in it can only be described as quite satisfactory. Not to mention Siegfried Zaku's behavior of hacking Gundam, even the two-machine linkage between Canard and Gist also opened the eyes of Zhen Asuka.

After landing on the earth, I really went through the smoothest period of my growth. I thought I could slowly catch up with the figure in my heart, but today, because of my gaffe, I almost killed Luna, and the immature Zhen Asuka fell into self-blame.

"Still here?"

Zhen looked up and found that the person who came was Aslan. Remembering the expression on the other party's face as if he was going to eat him in Ganaku, the young man turned his head away reluctantly, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Luna is also my team member, and I will definitely come over to take a look after finishing the work at hand."

"The doctor said Luna almost killed me. I'm sorry."

He still covered his face with his hands while he was talking. If he was wrong, he was wrong. He had no reason to excuse himself. If he really wanted to use Luna to exchange with Mayu, he wouldn't be so crooked to that extent.

"Being able to say sorry is the best result."

"what."

"Being able to say sorry means that the person you are sorry for is still alive, and you still have a chance to make up for it. The saddest thing in life is that you want to say sorry, but that person is no longer there."

"Aslan"

"I once had a teammate who died at the hands of Siegfried. I have always used this as a reason to hate him. I kept telling myself that he killed my teammate."

It was really the first time I heard Aslan tell the story of the legendary Cruze team, and he was a little immersed in it for a while, and asked quickly, "What happened next?"

"Later? There was nothing later. My teammate blew himself up. He wanted to prove that he was better than me, so he dragged Siegfried's mobile suit on the bottom of the sea and blew himself up."

"What is it?"

"It's ridiculous, right? He wasn't even killed by Siegfried himself. He was lucky enough to escape from the bottom of the sea. At that time, we were chasing and killing them. From the perspective of PLANT, we were not wrong, and from Siegfried's perspective, they were not wrong to want to survive. The collision of two correct things led to a tragic result."

"I"

"You are right in wanting to save your sister. Your sister also has her reasons in the Phantom Pain. It is also right for Luna to fight for PLANT. Even the Phantom Pain is just fulfilling her obligation as an Atlantic combat force. However, you have to understand why you are fighting. To save your sister, don't wear this red dress to hurt your teammates. If it is for PLANT, can you pull the trigger cruelly next time you face your sister?"

"Aslan"

"I have sent the information here to Aub. If your idol lives up to his name, I don't think he will break his promise."

In the end, Aslan just patted Makoto on the shoulder, and then prepared to leave.

"Aslan, if it were you, what would you choose at that moment?"

In a daze, the figures of Kira and Lux ​​slipped before Aslan's eyes. He didn't look back, but after a short pause, he chose to answer truthfully.

"I do not know either."
