Gundam 00: Rise of China

Chapter 91 Veda, whose ideals run counter to reality

"Moralia actually caused trouble at a time like this!"

"Of all times, at a time like this!"

When Wang Ye received the order from his teacher, General Gao, the Empress and her entourage on the Ptolemaic battleship in space also learned of it simultaneously.

The Republic of Moralia will soon be conducting large-scale military exercises.

Undoubtedly, this is a huge provocation to the Celestial Being organization, which claims to eradicate war.

Naturally, the people on the Ptolemy also anticipated that they would soon receive orders from VEDA to intervene in the military exercises.

But now, for various reasons, how could the people on the Ptolemy be in the mood to carry out Veda's orders?

For example, Lockon, who complained that Moralia had to come out and cause trouble at this time, punched the metal wall of the narrow passageway of the warship right in front of Setsuna and the others.

"Is he still unwilling to give a specific reason?"

Ignoring the pain in his fist, Lockon, concerned about Allelujah's situation, inquired once again about the young lady who had just tried to communicate with Allelujah again.

"no."

Miss Huang, who had her arms wrapped around her chest as if supporting two mountain peaks, shook her head.

"He won't say anything. He won't even give us a perfunctory excuse about the attack on the Tianzhu Commercial Street of the People's Revolutionary Alliance."

"Revoke Allelujah Celestial Being Gundam pilot qualifications."

Hearing that Miss Royal had given almost the same answer every time for the past few days, just as everyone was expressing their incomprehension of Allelujah's actions.

Tieria, who is now very unpopular on the Ptolemaic warship, once again lived up to expectations and said something that spoiled the mood.

Facing the shocked gazes of the crowd, Tieria, who was well aware of her predicament but completely unconcerned, continued without fear.

"You're the one who said that, right? The theory of victims and perpetrators."

"Then tell me, who are the victims and the perpetrators now?"

"Lockon".

After speaking to Lockon, Tieria turned to Setsuna, who remained silent.

"And you, you also said that war can only be eradicated when God is righteous."

"Then answer me, is Allelujah's attack on the Human Revolutionary Alliance's Heavenly Pillar just?"

"If we don't punish Allelujah and condone his attack on the Heavenly Pillar, are we Celestials still righteous?"

Tieria, who had been ostracized by the people on the Ptolemy, finally got her chance.

Staring at the crowd who were speechless after being questioned by her, Tieria's usually deadpan face actually showed a cold smile.

It is evident how much pressure the people on the Ptolemy were under since the Taliban incident, because he refused to attack the Union army's insistence on Veda's orders!

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Didn't you say I don't understand people's hearts?"

"Come, all of you, take a look. These are the attacking editorials from major media outlets around the world against us."

"Because of Allelujah's problem, all our previous efforts have been wasted."

"And it's not just the media who have launched a fierce attack on us, accusing us of being no different from those illegal armed groups."

"The general public also launched a massive online smear campaign against us, and our reputation became utterly ruined overnight."

"What do you suggest we do to resolve this?"

"Aeolia's plans are almost on the verge of collapse because of Alleluia!"

Tieria, who had been relentlessly attacking the Celestials online recently, unleashed his full power to insist on dealing with Alleluia.

Raising her finger to all those who couldn't answer her, Tieria made it clear she wanted an explanation.

After all, Aeolia's plan is the reason for his existence, and anything that hinders the implementation of this plan, whether it is a person or an object, needs to be eliminated by him.

"Tieria, are you still saying such things at a time like this?"

That is indeed the truth, but to expect humanity to remain rational forever is an extremely unrealistic expectation.

Just like on the deserted island, Lockon was once again the one facing Tieria directly, when everyone was at a loss as to how to respond to Tieria's accusations.

Lockon, who stepped forward, simply grabbed Tieria by the collar and said to his colleague who was still sneering.

"Alleluia is our comrade, and we should trust him even more in times like these."

"There must be some difficulty he has in mind to avoid revealing the reason!"

"Don't you believe in Veda's instructions? Since Veda chose Alleluia in the first place, it must be because Alleluia aligns with the principles of the Celestials!"

"Ideology? Attacking innocent civilians?"

Tieria, still sneering, forcefully slapped away Lockon's hand that was grabbing his collar, and asked mockingly.

"I!"

Lockon opened his mouth, but he was truly unable to refute Tieria's insistence on Alleluia's attack on the Sky Pillar Commercial Street.

However, Lockon also couldn't bear to watch Allelujah be stripped of his Celestial Being Gundam pilot status.

"That's enough!"

At the crucial moment, Miss Huang finally stepped forward.

In fact, she was already extremely anxious because of the recent events, and she saw the growing resentment between the Celestial Gundam pilots.

Miss Royal was truly worried that in the near future, the entire crew of the Ptolemy would be torn apart.

Covering her forehead, the princess tried to change the subject, for example, the massive military exercise that Moralia was preparing to hold.

When internal conflicts cannot be resolved, they should be transferred to external sources, as countless historical experiences have shown her.

It works.

However, before Miss Huang could successfully change the subject, Veda's instructions, which everyone had been waiting for, arrived.

However, when everyone looked down at Veda's instructions on their personal terminals, many people showed expressions of surprise.

The young lady, in particular, looked the most astonished.

"The People's Revolutionary Alliance's exploration of new energy sources?"

After carefully reviewing Veda's instructions, staring at the complete absence of any information about Moralia, the young lady's expression turned so gloomy it could drip water.

"Was Veda's wording that harsh?"

Christina asked the question bluntly, because according to usual practice, the matter in Moraria should be the top priority for Celestial Being to deal with, right?

The establishment of the new energy source by the People's Revolutionary Alliance is a fait accompli. The other party has already presented a mature product, and it is conceivable that with the capabilities of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, they may have even set up the production line.

Now, shifting all its energy to the People's Revolutionary Union and completely ignoring Moralia's direct provocations is not even a case of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

They've completely reversed the fundamental principles of the relationship between Heaven and humanity!

"We must confirm the nature of the new energy source of the People's Revolutionary Alliance. Once confirmed, we must destroy the research institutions and personnel at all costs."

"All finished products and production lines also need to be destroyed simultaneously, leaving no trace?"

Lockon whispered Veda's instructions, not thinking too deeply about it for the time being. He figured that if the mission target was the People's Revolutionary Alliance, then it would be fine to target the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

At least no penalty decision has been made regarding Allelujah.

However, while Lockon was relieved that Alleluia was safe for the time being, the others were pondering why Veda had turned all his attention to the Human Revolutionary Alliance.

Tieria's words instantly reignited Lockon's anger.

"Why not? Why isn't there any punishment for Allelujah?"

"I've already submitted my proposed solution!"

As one of the most unique pilots of Celestial Being Gundam, Tieria has the authority to directly contact and report to Veda.

His machine is equipped with a trial system, which also means that he actually has the identity of a military supervisor.

In general, Veda would seriously consider the decisions he made or the opinions he submitted, and rarely remained indifferent like this.

"What did you say?"

Just as Tieria was speechless, Lockon wanted to have a proper discussion with him.

However, the princess, with a gloomy face, stood between the two and then glanced at Tieria with a complicated expression.

Next, Miss Huang forcefully pulled Lockon towards the space observation deck on the warship, which was used to relax the crew.
