Gundam EXARE

But such thoughts are very dangerous. Mu noticed a trait in Kira that he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Kira said before that it wasn't me who wanted to do something

But I have to do something

Wanting to do something and having to do something are two completely different things. Is this sense of responsibility that you have to do something because you feel you have the ability to do it a good thing or a bad thing?

Mu knew that this was a good person in the public's values, but good people might have a hard life in the future.

"Well, Kira, I have something I want to ask you."

It's a shame that I have to rely on Kira now.

"I see."

Kira answered quickly, and just as Mu said, he was a completely different person.

Dividing line

To say something different, it is not the change in mentality that makes people different.

There is also a simple reason - I'm hungry.

Everyone on the Archangel was already under a lot of mental pressure, and Cruze's attack disrupted the original plan. After this series of events, even Ray suddenly remembered this incident when he was reflecting on himself in the cafeteria.

After calming down, even he felt something was wrong. Why did he say those words during the fight?

I don’t know. There’s no point in reflecting on it. After all, if I think I shouldn’t do this, I’ll definitely do it again next time. It’s just like when people stay up late every day and can’t fall asleep early when they want to.

Back to the original topic, after a series of tense and tiring events, Rey finally remembered that there were two prisoners on the Archangel.

What he saw now was Lux who had become truly haggard and the pilot who was investigating Jinn.

If you calculate the time, it has been ten hours since we brought them back, which is beyond their normal meal time.

In front of Rei were two people climbing out of bed. It felt better to lie down when you were hungry.

"Let me be clear, I didn't starve you for torture. I just had so much to do that I forgot about you."

Rei made a series of excuses, but the problem was that what he said was not right.

Forgetting you doesn't sound much better than torture.

Of course, all these things can be said later. The most important thing now is to eat. You can hear the stomach growling in the room an hour ago.

The sound of eating could be heard in the quiet room, and Ray was standing at the door of the room, looking inside.

The Speaker's daughter looked like a little girl, and the driver didn't look much older either.

The driver of the Holy Shield sounds quite young, but youth is a problem, so we need to think of ways to deal with it.

Ok

How can we stop the switching between MS and MA forms of the Holy Shield?

By the way, it seems that a cannon was recovered in Heliopolis.

It was an extremely powerful electromagnetic cannon, and it had a very impressive name.

Because each battle was a skirmish, Rei had little time to prepare in advance, and the enemy had PS armor, so Rei accidentally forgot about his live ammunition weapons.

Fire god.

That is Agni, the name of the god of fire in Indian mythology.

The gun of greed.

The Gaelic spear is the formidable spear wielded by the Celtic warrior Cu Chulainn.

You really know how to come up with names.

Just as Rey was praising the designer's taste in naming, he discovered that the reconnaissance pilot Jin En, who had been sitting to eat before, was now standing, and his position was very deliberate.

Rey, who could see Lux just now, could only see another person floating there, grabbing a plate of food and starting to eat.

Simply put, it was a misunderstanding. He was not staring at Lux, but just randomly found a direction and started to daydream.

Then again, the young man in front of me is protecting another young man.

"Are you her bodyguard?"

""

It seemed that she was not going to answer. Regardless of whether this female soldier had a mission or not, she did intend to protect Lux.

This sounded very strange, so Ray asked:

"You don't look older than 20. 17? 18?"

His inexplicable questioning left the driver investigating Jin En confused. Why did he ask her age?

"Even a child like you is being dragged onto the battlefield. How shameless of the PLANT! It seems ZAFT is running out of soldiers."

So that's what you're saying? Stop talking nonsense!

"What do you know!"

Who was truly shameless? Who declared war first? Who used nuclear weapons first? Who had previously used the excuse of inspection to prevent them from reaching Junius 7, killing a whole shipload of people?

Isn't it just the Earth Army? Now someone so high and mighty is using such words to morally condemn them?

They didn't even let go of the adjusters who left the earth for the universe, and they chased and bit them all the way. How could the natural people have the right to say such things!

Anger surged in her heart, but before it exploded completely, someone pulled her back forcefully.

Lux realized that it was useless to just pull the corner of her clothes, and she had to pull her wrist hard.

This action was for the safety of both of them. There is kindness in the world, but we cannot blindly believe in kindness. Conflict with the people on this ship here will only make the situation worse for both of them.

So stop talking and leave it at that.

Lux is indeed very smart, she is a calm person.

It’s a pity that the pilot who was investigating Jin En was not so calm, but who can blame a young man who lost his comrades and compatriots?

Chapter 27 Enemies

The room grew quiet, and Ray noticed something:

His habit of constantly hurling insults at the enemy during battle was due to the mental stress he experienced in the military in the past, and he vented his stress by attacking others.

However, this habit of his seemed to be eroding other aspects of his life. For example, he was now completely certain that Lux was not a silly young lady who was ignorant of the world.

In fact, Rey deliberately used morality to accuse PLANT in a high-handed manner just to test one thing. He wanted to know whether it was normal for ZAFT's young soldiers to be soldiers.

Sadly, it is the norm.

From the driver's reaction, we can tell that she neither feels that she is a child soldier nor that she resists it.

Just by provoking him with words, Rei knew what was going on with ZAFT.

It is normal for young people to go to the battlefield due to national hatred and family feuds. The question is who will stop this war?

"What does it mean to you to win this war?"

Rey really wanted to know the answer to this question because he had asked others and himself the same question before.

As a former AEU soldier, he had asked this question when he saw the war in a small country, but the answer was not what he wanted.

For those small countries that are treated as pawns by big countries, not to mention ending the war, even how to start the war is decided by others.

If a big country wants to drive a small country, it must have an actor standing on the stage. So even though countless soldiers died and were wounded on the front line, the actor still stood on the stage to perform the script.

Since he is an actor, he naturally gets an appearance fee.

Therefore, all the soldiers are just consumables used to complete the mission, and the so-called leader may just be an orator who is paid for his work and all he needs to do is know how to incite people.

What do soldiers die for? Is their death truly worthwhile? Are they part of a greater cause or merely comic relief in a clown show?

It all depends on who's making the decision for them, so Ray wants to know what the leader of PLANT, the Adjuster Nation, is thinking. What does he hope to gain from this war? Is it to completely break free from the influence of the Earth Federation and achieve independence? Or does he have other ideas?

However, this question may be too difficult for a soldier to answer.

"Of course."

The pilot who was investigating Jinn couldn't continue. She knew how to win a battle, but she didn't know how to win a war.

If you apply it, it will be:

"The Earth Army surrenders!"

Yes, that's right, as long as the enemy surrenders, we win.

"What to do after that?"

Rey continued to ask, and the pilot who was investigating Jin did not have her own ideas. Her ideas were the ideas of the military, which were rooted in the hearts of the people after large-scale propaganda from the upper level.

When everyone around you says the same thing, even the minority of dissenting opinions will be drowned out by the majority voice.

Why are there so many young soldiers in Zaftari? Because they want to:

"eye for eye."

This blood feud cannot be let go like this, blood debt must be repaid with blood.

"That means you didn't think about anything."

Rey has fully understood that there is no better way to boost morale than hatred, and it is obvious that ZAFT will use this matter to make a fuss.

But what to do after the war is over?

It is probably impossible to get anything out of this ordinary soldier in front of me.

The two girls noticed the attitude displayed by Rei. Although they didn't know who he was, they were definitely not from the Earth Army.

After all, they had already seen the attitude of the Earth Army, so how could they associate the calm Rey with the Earth Army?

However, the pilot who was investigating Jin had no idea what Ray was trying to ask. The man kept asking some suggestive questions and then expressing his incomprehensible thoughts.

Are you here to make it so that we can’t even enjoy our meals?

The pilot investigating Jinn was confused, but Lux, who had always been very restrained, took the initiative to speak:

"Then what do you think?"

She protected herself by pretending to be stupid, but at this moment her true self was revealed.

Because she also wanted to find the answer, where would the Union and PLANT, the adjusters and the natural persons go?

There is no point in thinking about a war that has already begun. The key is how the war will end and what to do after it ends?

The pain at this moment is to avoid repeating the same mistake next time. You must learn. If you don’t learn the lesson, you will be hurt again and again.

"What did you see in this war?"

Lux stood up, revealing what was hidden beneath her beautiful exterior.

Not pretending anymore?

The above thoughts only appeared in Rey's mind, and he couldn't be too rude.

Lux's action of standing up and facing each other was an attitude, she wanted to communicate.

So Rey also has to express some of his thoughts.

wrong.

Rei denied in his heart what he had said before. He didn't want to say it because he respected the other party, but because he had expectations of the other party.

Soldiers act according to the will of the state, but who determines this will of the state? The government. And who makes up the government?

Are it the various officials who form the national will?

Can they really represent the will of the country? Like the small countries that Ray had seen in the past, some people were forced to do things against their will, but some were happy to do so.

These people don't care about the deaths and injuries of soldiers, nor do they care about the suffering of the people. They just act with all their heart and soul so that they can make a profit from it. As long as they are happy, that's enough.

The pursuit of happiness is everyone's common desire, but this is different from trampling on others for it.

Is it the will of the nation to die for the false words of these actors? Will the soldiers and the people willingly accept this?

When a person's brain dies, the entire body will die as well, and the same is true for a country.

Once the top of a country is rotten, the rot will spread throughout the country.

Rey left the army because he didn't want to kill people for the justice woven by the upper class.

Is there anyone who would be willing to die for such hypocrisy?
