Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Char!"

If I hadn't still retained some rationality, I would have watched the events unfold in the live stream.

Manekin would definitely smash his phone on the ground; this is a way for people to vent their anger when their emotions are at their peak.

However, even when Manekin was so angry that he was dizzy and could not stand steadily, he had to lean against the wall to stand up.

She was, after all, the chief tactical commander of the AEU, and she was faced with Char's tactic of using her own plans to achieve his own goals.

"I haven't lost yet!"

"There is still an insurmountable gap in terms of hard power!"

Leaning against the wall beside her, Manekin's eyes flashed with a fierce light; she refused to admit defeat!

"After the killers commit murder and escape, Taliban people will despair of the country and lose their last shred of respect for order."

"This country will rot."

"By manipulating your servants to commit murder and then not fleeing, but instead facing legal punishment, you are attempting to rekindle the nation's hope for order and the future."

"Incidentally, you yourself will also become a physical embodiment of hope, but don't forget..."

"People originally had no hope, but after seeing hope that they shouldn't have had, they lost hope again."

"That sense of despair was even worse than having no hope at all!"

"Once you die, and this country nominally falls back under Union control, then the hearts and minds of this nation..."

"This country will still become an abyss!"

Gritting his teeth and staring at the screen of his phone, Manekin couldn't believe that Char could win in a Brute that was a generation behind.

After all, he was facing an entire Union fleet!

As long as Char dies in this Don Quixote-like charge, no matter how ingenious his previous strategic arrangements were, it will be irrelevant.

"When a person dies, they are dead. After death, I will bestow upon you countless honors."

After taking a few deep breaths, Manekin began to mentally cheer on the Union fleet.

One second they were theoretical enemies, the next second Manekin considered the Union an ally...

In addition, Manekin prayed that the Celestials would remain steadfast in their stance and not be swayed by Char's attack on the Union army.

Ironically, just a short while ago, Manekin was eager to see what the Celestials would choose after the Union army was attacked by Sacherus…

At the same time, on the bridge of the Ptolemaic warship in space, a group of people who had also watched the entire live broadcast of the Taliban president were stunned.

"It's over."

The princess, who had anticipated that something would go wrong with this mission in Taliban, sadly closed her eyes, never expecting such an unexpected turn of events.

"Miss Royal?"

Christina blinked her eyes and asked, even though this young lady wasn't particularly perceptive about certain things.

However, her basic moral values ​​and judgment are still intact.

Given the current situation, is it really okay for us, Tianren, to attack Taliban?

And then what if that guy named Char attacked the Union army, and the Union army retaliated?

Should we, the Celestials, attack the Union army?

"Christina."

Her best friend Milena quickly stopped her from asking any more questions.

Her mind was equally chaotic, even though she desperately wanted to know what her side should do next.

But seeing the princess's deathly pale face, Milena subconsciously turned her head to look at the helmsman, Lassey.

"Your Majesty."

After hesitating for a long time, he stared at the guy named Char on the monitor on the bridge who was gradually approaching the Union fleet.

With his eyes closed, Lasser suddenly opened them and, having made up his mind, offered his advice as the helmsman.

"Give the order to attack the Union fleet."

"Um?"

Lasser's words surprised everyone on the bridge, because this helmsman usually obeyed the tactical commander and captain, Miss Huang.

When was it ever possible for anyone to hear someone so directly and bluntly interfering with Miss Huang's judgment?

Contact Veda.

Looking back at Lasai, whose eyes were filled with determination, the young lady took a deep breath and said.

Even when she had no other choice, Miss Huang still wanted to try procedural justice.

Of course, if things are impossible...

This reminds me of the instructions Veda gave and the suggestions he made at the beginning of the mission in Taliban!

Silently and tightly fidgeting with her fingers, Miss Huang had a bad feeling creeping into her mind, while praying that her bad feeling wouldn't come true.

Soon, Christina contacted Veda, the quantum computer at the Celestial Being's central hub, and transmitted Miss Royal's new strategy to it.

But one second, two seconds, three seconds...

By the time the guy named Char on the monitor screen had made direct contact with the Union Army's Flag in his Thug, he was already on the display.

Veda, touted as the most powerful quantum computer of our time, still failed to provide an answer to everyone aboard the Ptolemy.

"So it still doesn't work?"

Suppressing her indignation and unease, this time Miss Huang did not hesitate.

She glanced at Char, who was already engaged in battle with the Union army, on the display screen.

"Notify Shaka and the others that the Taliban operation has entered its second phase. All personnel are now assembling and heading to the open sea to intervene in the war between the Union Army and the Moralia mercenary group."

"The mission objective is to disarm both sides and prevent the war from escalating!"

"clear!"

When the new order was issued by the Empress, it wasn't Setsuna who responded first.

The person who responded to her was actually Lockon!

"I refuse!"

Lockon's response seemed to be his last; those on the bridge, connected by signal, could already see Alleluia about to reply.

His mouth opened in an instant, clearly indicating that he was also happy to accept the order.

But, unsurprisingly, the person who stepped forward did.

While Gundam Exia, Gundam Virtue, and Gundam Aspect Rising gradually ceased production and were slacking off, Gundam Virtue continued to diligently clear out the Taliban army.

As expected, Tieria, with a cold expression, stood up to voice her opposition.

"Veda did not provide any instructions; it did not acknowledge or accept your instructions, so your command is invalid."

Tieria, who views Veda's orders as absolute, has her own convictions and believes that her convictions are correct.

"Tieria!"

Before the princess in Ptolemy could speak, Lockon in the Archangel shouted first.

His anger was palpable. Lockon couldn't understand what kind of heartless person Tieria was to say such a thing at this moment.

"Don't you really understand what we should be doing now?"

As he spoke, Lockon had already piloted his Virtue Gundam to break away from the battle with the Taliban army.

He flew straight toward the Union army off the coast of Taliban.

Gundam Virtue is incredibly fast, as fast as Lockon's own anxious heart.

"Lockon, you're ignoring orders!"

Completely unaffected by Lockon's accusations, Tieria continued her questioning over the communication channel with a cold expression.

"I'm not like you, this doll!"

"You heartless bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Lockon blurted out these words.

"Me? My heart?"

For a fleeting moment, Tieria's eyes were blank; it really was just a fleeting moment.

In that very short time, the other two finally made their own decisions.
