Gundam EXARE

This sister ship of the Archangel is almost identical to the Archangel in appearance, with the difference being the tail fins on both sides, which are changed to a darker gray-black color.

Since it is a space battleship, it naturally has to go into space.

After capturing Victoria Harbor, the Earth Army began to send MS and supplies into space. After all, no matter how much success they achieved on Earth, it was only a small victory. Only by capturing PLANT could they be considered a winner.

During the Battle of Victoria, ZAFT's winged mobile suit irritated the Earth Alliance.

PLANT has regained nuclear technology. What does this mean?

This means that the next thing that falls may not be an EMP that can be defended against, and no one wants to see a rain of nuclear bombs.

The Atlantic Federation is naturally anxious about this. The Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic rarely agree with the Atlantic Federation on this matter, which is to strengthen the combat capability of the space army.

The Eurasian Federation wants to compete with the Atlantic Federation for the post-war ownership of PLANT. Even if the East Asian Republic does not get involved, it must strengthen its space defense to prevent the other two countries from doing anything evil in space.

Driven by common interests, Victoria Spaceport is operating day and night.

The Atlantic Federation also put new weapons into use, and that is how Mu and Bakilulu met.

At this time, Baki Lulu noticed the MS being transported to the Archangel, and she was very familiar with this machine.

"The Major is still piloting the Strike Force? And what about the Mobius Zero?"

The Strike Gundam, however, also carries three backpacks instead of the usual ones.

Bakilulu saw a MA that looked like the Mobius Zero, but upon closer inspection, it looked a little different.

Hearing her question, Mu subconsciously showed a headache expression and said:

"That's the new backpack that's been giving me a headache lately."

Various tests were thrown at me one after another.

Before Mu could continue, he noticed Baki Lulu's surprised look.

Looking in the direction he was going, he saw three young men dressed casually, with either their uniforms open or their trousers torn, who were being escorted aboard the ship.

Don't think this is luxury treatment; it's just that technicians need to maintain, repair and enhance the three biological CPUs at any time.

They want to research stronger and more stable enhancement technology based on the data of these three biological CPUs.

Chapter 115 Marathon

Heliopolis, revisiting the old place.

This colony satellite that was once attacked by ZAFT has now returned to its original order, but the port is very crowded.

Many former Orb citizens gathered here, waiting for the moment to board the ship.

They were immigrants who came to Orb to escape war and discrimination, so it makes sense for them to move to another country now.

If Orb couldn't protect them, they had three best options.

First, the East Asian Republic is often said to ignore human rights and is like a country of ghosts.

Second, PLANT is fighting a war with Earth.

Third, the Oceania Union as an ally of PLANT.

Why is there no Eurasian Federation?

You are always deeply bound to the Atlantic Federation. Who has a good impression of you?

Many people were tired of the life of escape, and they finally took the first step towards PLANT.

Since the natural people's malice towards them is so strong, they have no choice but to live with their compatriots.

When compromise fails, people take up arms.

And the above considerations of adults are meaningless to a child.

Mayu had just experienced a life-and-death situation a few days ago, but now she was chewing bubble gum heartlessly.

She held her brother's hand and looked around curiously.

"Ok?"

Children have short memories. When she looked over, she thought she saw someone she knew, but she couldn't remember where she had seen that person.

Before Mayu could take a few more glances, the passing crowd completely blocked her view.

On the other side of the crowd, Ray was searching the crowd for the voice he had heard earlier.

I did hear her voice just now.

It was Lacus Clyne's voice.

Rey, who got off the boat, was walking with the others, but he didn't know whether it was an hallucination or real, he thought he heard Lux's voice.

But the sound disappeared in a flash amid the noise of countless people boarding the ship, and it was unclear whether he really heard it or it was just an illusion in his brain.

"Is it here?"

Rei muttered quietly, but even the sound was drowned out by the crowd around him.

There were sounds of people chatting, children crying, the sound of the radio, and singing with poor sound quality.

"?"

This time, Rei heard more clearly, and he tried to move towards the direction where the sound came from.

There is singing, but I don’t know which uncultured guy is playing it aloud.

Rei squeezed through the crowd and came into view a young man with purple-red hair and a skin color that didn't match the colony satellite.

No matter how good a song is, it depends on the occasion in which it is played. For people who are already anxious, young people who play music out loud really have no manners at all.

He seemed to be embarrassed himself, grabbing his hair with a helpless look on his face.

Rei stared at the other person, searching for memories of the past.

Where have I seen this person before?

Considering his features, this skin color was undoubtedly developed under strong sunlight.

When it comes to strong sunlight, the desert is the first choice.

"I remembered."

Ray remembered how he shot down Blue Cosmos from the top of the hotel.

"Aren't you Da Costa?"

Da Costa is a subordinate of Desert Tiger Baltfield and the one who helped Rey remove the bracelet on the hotel rooftop.

A ZAFT soldier in the harbor of Heliopolis?

At this moment, Da Costa suddenly turned around when he heard Rey's voice. Who else could be standing there but Rey, whom he had been waiting for for two days?

The surprise on Da Costa's face matched Rey's, and he subconsciously spoke his mind:

"I actually found a needle in a haystack?"

Da Costa played music to draw attention to himself, and then he quickly stopped singing and said:

"It's not convenient to chat here, let's change places."

Ray had no objection. He began to wonder if the song in Lux's message might be some kind of secret code.

Ten minutes later, he realized he was overthinking it.

The logic is simple. Since Justice once appeared in Orb and fought against the Atlantic Federation's fleet, Orb is the only clue to finding Justice.

It's just a gamble, betting that Rey will come to this colonial satellite belonging to Orb.

But there was no contact information, so Da Costa wandered around with the player for two days.

Do you know how painful it is to suffer countless cold stares every day?

It is because of this chaotic approach that Da Costa calls it looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I see. It seems we are both lucky."

Ray was sipping the cola that Bakilulu once called unhealthy in his left hand, and with his right hand he grabbed a fried chicken steak through the packaging.

I know it's unhealthy, but I still want to eat it.

Ray speculated, holding a cola in one hand and fried chicken in the other:

"I didn't expect that Coffee Freak would become my companion this time."

Da Costa, Bartfield, and Justice have information about their connection to Orb.

Putting all of this together, we can infer that there are also Kleinists in the army who do not approve of Patrick.

Ray understood quickly, and Da Costa, relieved of the trouble, continued:

"We hope you can drive justice to pick us up."

Mission understanding.

But Rei has a question here:

"Why don't you react at all to being called a coffee freak?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Da Costa asked the question without any hesitation. The man even used a distiller to make coffee. I have no objection to you calling him a coffee freak.

"But with your image, you are not qualified to criticize others."

As Da Costa said, Rey, with a Coke in one hand and fried chicken in the other, really looks like a kid who rarely goes to a fast food restaurant.

"I'm so glad you hit the nail on the head with this image."

Da Costa shook his head helplessly. If Rey had said in a mysterious manner that we were companions before, he might have been amazed at Rey's quick reaction.

It's a pity that Rey's image is a fast food weirdo

It's not his turn to talk about others.

As Rei listened, he took another sip of his Coke and then showed an unhappy expression.

"Forgot there was less ice."

Did you know that drinks at fast food restaurants are often filled with ice to reduce their volume?

If there is too much ice, you will only get ice water with a hint of cola when you drink the bottom part.

Rei has been so busy lately that he almost forgot about this important matter. And there is another, even more important matter:

"I want to ask, isn't it easier to take down a fortress from the inside?"

Since even Baltfield shares the same ideals as Lacus, there must be many hidden companions in the ZAFT army.

It would be easier for everyone to start a rebellion internally than outside, right?

Da Costa revealed information that Ray didn't know:

"Chairwoman Sarah has begun to suspect that someone inside has leaked the information. And now that ZAFT ground forces have begun to return to space one after another, the Chairwoman can focus her attention entirely on the inside."

When a full-scale investigation is launched, who knows how many people will suffer, and this will damage the already limited strength of the Klein faction.

"To prevent a major internal purge, Ms. Lacus decided to step out and act as a target, temporarily leaving PLANT and drawing the attention of Chancellor Sarah."

The power of the people is important, but the most important thing is the gun in their hands.

The Klein faction in the army is the gun in Lux's hands, and she cannot let these guns be damaged.

She doesn't look like a 16-year-old girl at all.

Rei made the same assessment in his mind again, but this was a good thing. Who wouldn't want their comrades to be excellent?

He looked natural and took a sip of ice water with a cola flavor.

No matter who comes, no one would think that this person is discussing extremely important secrets at this small round table outdoors. They would probably just point fingers at the behavior of the two grown men at the small round table.

Rey knew what he was going to do next, but he had one more thing to confirm before he took action:

"You hope PLANT wins the war."

"Does anyone want to lose?"

Da Costa smiled bitterly, his previous words had already exposed the thoughts of most people.

Ray discovered that the other party addressed Patrick as Speaker Sarah

PLANT hopes that the Speaker can lead them to victory. As long as he does not go astray in the future, this position will definitely continue to belong to him.
