Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 762 Sequel (Part 3)

Since it was a family meeting, the atmosphere shouldn't have been particularly serious. However, Siegfried's intuition kept reminding him that this meeting would most likely determine the course of history for the next hundred years in the CE world.

This intuition reached its peak after Mina and Hilde arrived together. After learning about Haman's background and origins and briefly testing her on a few political issues, Mina declared that she was determined to stay in Haman and that Siegfried could not send her back.

“This girl is simply my natural successor. You have to understand that once I finally pull A-Laws into self-destruction and Cagalli successfully becomes the third chairman of the People’s Revolutionary League, she will inevitably have to sever ties with me and my faction. In that case, if she faces an internal environment full of political enemies as soon as she takes office, someone will need to take over my banner and be able to suppress those politicians who have already tasted the sweetness of the orbital elevator. Harman has the strength and the background; she is simply the chosen one.”

From the beginning, everyone in the room knew that Mina would definitely sacrifice A-Laws as a political stain on her career. But even she herself admitted that simply disbanding A-Laws was only a temporary solution. A term of office is neither long nor short. Considering that Mina's current responsibility is to unite all forces that can be united and unify the Earth Sphere, in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be people in this power system that is not very pure who will be unwilling to lose their power along with Mina when she steps down.

These people will inevitably become the biggest destabilizing factor during Cagalli's rule, so how to deal with this group of interest groups has become a key issue that Mina needs to consider. Now, the appearance of Haman has undoubtedly given her a glimmer of hope for success.

In terms of background, Harman is a transmigrator from another world who has no connections in this world. In terms of status, she is Siegfried's personally acknowledged apprentice. In the future, as long as she raises this banner, everyone in the entire Lagrange point will have to give her some respect.

Moreover, considering the negative impact of the factional strife, Harman's relationship with Siegfried was actually a political asset for her to achieve a balance with Cagalli. Mina's remaining descendants wouldn't have to worry about being sold out by a clueless little girl.

Therefore, with Harman's consent, her fate was decided. Harman's joining also implied another political factor: since the second generation, all the leaders of the People's Revolutionary League have also held the identity of MS pilots.

With this identity, at the very least, both Harman and Cagalli can receive the support of the military. And if this implicit condition becomes a permanent rule, it will be good news for the long-term military operation to bring Mars under their control.

After finishing one task, Mia brought out some freshly baked pastries from the kitchen. Siegfried then grabbed Hilde and pulled her out the door, causing Mia to freeze for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure. Only Haman glanced at her thoughtfully and then, noticing Lux's smiling gaze, immediately pretended nothing had happened.

"Sis, I just had my fortune told, and it seems like the storyline of ZZ to Unicorn is going to be canceled."

"So, what does this have to do with us?"

Hilde extinguished Siegfried's worries with a single sentence. After all, he was the hero here, and how history unfolded on that timeline was not of much concern to him. Especially now that Haman and Minerva had also been brought over, Aunt Sima was not someone he needed to worry about.

"Moreover, don't underestimate the self-correcting nature of history. On the way here, I had Veda do a simple calculation. Even if we ignore the Unicorn storyline, the Mafti organization will definitely appear. This is a result that was already destined before the start of the One Year War. As long as the Federation is still the same Federation, Hathaway is just a symbol of resistance against the Federation. Even if he doesn't exist, someone else will take his place, including the Cosmic Babylon and the Zanskar Empire. That's how the spiral of history works."

After a brief pause to allow Siegfried to absorb the key points, Hilde adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and continued, "Furthermore, the individual combat prowess in the UC timeline is far less exaggerated than here. You are now a firsthand witness to the One Year War. Honestly, even if you teamed up with Char to shoot down Amuro, would Zeon have been guaranteed to win?" "No, they wouldn't have won. Back then, anti-Zabi sentiment in Side 3 was at its peak. If it weren't for those brainless idiots like Delaz covering my retreat, we almost wouldn't have been able to bring Minerva out. And ultimately, that family stole the fruits of Deikun's revolution; otherwise, Char wouldn't have had the chance to receive praise more than a decade later."

Siegfried did not deny the role of the ACEs in the UC world, but unlike the ACEs who could single-handedly defeat thousands, the UC aces played a more targeted role in breaking through the overall situation.

For example, Amuro crushed various Zeon aces along the way, and Kamille slowed down Herok's progress. But behind them, the core force was the Federation's unfathomable war potential and the AEUG's indomitable spirit against tyranny. Aces were useful, but not that useful.

Even Siegfried, as an Innovator, had a very difficult time in the Battle of A Baoa Qu. The Warrior was the best mobile suit that Zeon could use in the late game, but even someone as strong as him couldn't do such a miracle as to rely on a Warrior to break through the Federation's GM Iron Ball sea.

"But what about the Miracle of Axis?"

"A miracle is called a miracle because it's unrepeatable. It has to be said that the Unicorn made the Axis Miracle seem far too cheap, huh? This is..."

A small figure interrupted Hilde's words. Siegfried looked closely and saw that it was Minerva who had come to the door at some point.

Realizing she had been discovered, she appeared somewhat nervous. However, the bloodline of the Zabi family gave the little princess extraordinary courage. She struggled to lift her head and looked at the two siblings, asking timidly, "If I don't go back, will things get really bad over there? If so..."

"No, that's not true. No matter what world it is, it will keep turning no matter who's missing. Don't worry."

After lifting Minerva high in the air, Siegfried and Hilde returned to the room, which was clearly divided into three distinct spheres of influence. Minerva and Haman grew increasingly fond of each other, their intimacy surpassing anything Siegfried had ever witnessed.

Lacus was whispering with Cagalli. Judging from Cagalli's expression, Siegfried could probably guess that the topic was related to their UC adventure. Mia was originally looking after Minerva, but the little princess ran out to find Siegfried, and Mia unintentionally became the one who was isolated.

"Ahem, quiet down, Hilde's little class is about to begin!"
