Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Still haven't given up?"

Manekin, who was leaving central Taliban, had been closely monitoring the execution of her plans, so she was struck by the sudden change that occurred on the Taliban president's live television broadcast.

And then Char, who hadn't shown up all this time, made a new move, which surprised her so much that she stopped in her tracks.

Then she stared intently at the phone screen in her hand, trying to figure out what Xia was trying to do.

"My plan has now reached a dead end."

With no one around, Manekin didn't mind whispering the core of her plan further, which was also a way for her to organize her thoughts.

"After the Taliban president surrendered, an assassin was arranged to expose the shady tactics of this sacrifice, which involved betting on both sides. After assassinating the president, the assassin escaped."

"The people of Taliban will descend into chaos under the enormous cognitive shock and feelings of betrayal, and the collapse of the credibility of the national system will exacerbate the country's madness."

"Whether or not Celestials will fight the Union's main force afterward, post-war Taliban will become hell. A Taliban that has lost its core cohesion is undoubtedly a human graveyard."

"Char, do you want to reunite the people of this nation by becoming a knight who challenges windmills?"

In an instant, Manekin had a pretty good idea of ​​what Char might want to do. Then, with a light laugh, Manekin started walking out again.

"It's no use, Char."

Manekin said with certainty, his tone as certain as the Wailing Wall of the Underworld.

"You've got your identity wrong. An outsider wants to represent Taliban in the fight and incite Taliban loyalty?"

"Humans can be very united at times, but at other times they can be stubborn about the so-called distinction between you and me."

"Isn't there an old saying in your Eastern culture: 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts'?"

"The Taliban are in their deepest grief and anger after being betrayed by their own president. How could they possibly trust an outsider like you?"

"They'll just think you're another person with ulterior motives, someone who wants to take advantage of them again."

"I have destroyed the hearts and minds of this nation, Char!"

"Completely destroyed!"

After some deliberation, Manekin's steps became much lighter as he stared at the split image on his phone screen.

Looking at Char, who was taking off and rushing towards the Union fleet in the outer sea, Manekin saw him as nothing more than a clown who overestimated himself.

At the same time, a playful glint flashed in Manekin's eyes; she was anticipating Wang Ye, disguised as Char, being killed by the Union army.

After all, the assassins she arranged through those corrupt Taliban upper echelons were about to storm into the Taliban president's live broadcast room.

The moment the assassin appears will be the moment when the hearts and minds of the Taliban are completely broken. In this way, Char, who has gained nothing, will die in a state of extreme disappointment and despair...

Manekin's face flushed uncontrollably; she couldn't wait to see Char die, utterly helpless after all his scheming!

"Thump!"

Just as Manekin was thinking about the assassin in his plan, the door to the Taliban president's live television broadcast room was kicked open by someone.

"They're here!"

Once again, Manekin stopped, wanting to savor every second of his plan's smooth execution.

Then, when she saw who had walked into the Taliban president's live broadcast room, her eyes suddenly went blank, followed by a look of confusion.

Why him?

Once you see who barged into the live stream, isn't that the attendant who has been following the current Taliban president for a long time?

Manekin blinked, unaware of the identities of the assassins he had recruited from the upper echelons.

But she still instinctively felt that the assassin shouldn't be that servant, right?

If it really is...

Shaking her head, Manekin shook off the delusions in her mind. She still didn't think that the servant would be given such an important task by the other corrupt upper echelons.

Thus, a shadow fell over Manekin's initially cheerful mood. She tried to convince herself that the servant was the assassin she was waiting for.

Even if the possibility is not high...

"you?"

In the live television broadcast, the Taliban president, who had just announced his surrender, was already displeased to see his trusted attendants enter the room.

At this moment, his attendant entered with a calm yet resolute expression, which made the Taliban president even more displeased.

After all, he may not be a very qualified president, but on the other hand, he is quite qualified.

The Taliban president immediately frowned and angrily rebuked him.

"Marcelo Peralta, do you know what time it is?"

"Why would someone so disregard social hierarchy and barge into a live broadcast like that!"

"Your Excellency President, no, I should address you as Javier Sosa."

Marcelo, who was usually extremely respectful to the president, Javier, walked forward step by step despite the former's rebuke.

Upon seeing his attendant Marcelo's appearance, President Javier, feeling guilty and in the wrong, instinctively sensed something was amiss.

Before his attendant Marcelo could make any further moves, President Javier had already started shouting at the others in the live broadcast room.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you see what this traitor did?"

"I am now ordering you, in the name of the President, to seize this traitor!"

Despite the fact that the live broadcast was not yet over, President Havel waved his hands loudly, disregarding his image and dignity.

But since the attendant Marcelo dared to come in at this time, how could he not have anticipated President Javier's reaction?

No matter how bad a country is, you can always find some people who are loyal to it.

It's not easy to bring these people together, but it's still possible.

"You...you guys!"

Seeing the blank stares directed at him, President Havel panicked and retreated even more awkwardly.

"Haviel, you are no longer the person I used to know."

President Javier is retreating, while his attendant Marcelo is advancing.

Pulling out a gun and pointing it at President Javier, Marcelo, in the ongoing live broadcast, meticulously revealed the president's shady dealings, including his double-dealing.

Suddenly, the disgusting scheme that President Havel and high-ranking officials had devised during the live broadcast was exposed to the public.

An outburst of anger surged within the hearts of ordinary people throughout Taliban and the entire gravity zone.

No one with a conscience could have imagined that someone in the upper echelons could be so disgusting!

Of course, many intelligent people have also figured out what Marcelo is up to now...

During the live broadcast, after Marcelo finished explaining Javier's conspiracy and presented the evidence, it was as most people had guessed.

The gun went off, but after the shot, Marcelo neither ran away nor shot himself.

He simply stood there calmly, looking at the live stream camera and speaking softly.

"I know I have no right to execute anyone."

"I will quietly await the punishment of the law afterward."

"But before that, I must let everyone know who sold out what we are fighting for."

"They used the people's protests to seek personal gain while simultaneously preparing a way out for surrender."

"The soldiers on the front lines are bleeding, the people in the city are weeping, but these parasites are raking in the blood and tears with their mouths wide open."

"I know it's too late to say all this now."

"But I still want to say that there are still people who are willing to stand up for this country."

"Major Char will fight to the very end for us."

"Therefore, it is far from time to despair of this country."
