Gundam EXARE

If the Archangel was captured, the crew members inside wouldn't have to continue fighting and wouldn't have to run around being chased, right?

Although this goes against Mu and his colleagues' responsibilities, is fighting for the Earth Army really a just act?

say so

If ZAFT gets the Archangel and the Strike, the Earth Army's MS mass production plan will fail, and it will definitely be slowed down.

Will PLANT win the war by then?

Rei didn't know what victory was in the eyes of either side. Nuclear bombs, energy crisis, and the number of civilian deaths in this war could be recorded in history books as the end of human civilization. This alone was enough to make people uneasy.

Rei decided to continue struggling in this world for a while longer than before and stopped avoiding problems.

"I believe there is only one way for PLANT to win this war, and that is to strike the Atlantic Federation head-on."

Ray suddenly changed the subject, but Bartfield didn't interrupt. Instead, he said with great interest, "Oh?"

So Rey continued:

"Strike at the Atlantic Federation's vital forces, use the media to manipulate public opinion, establish the Atlantic Federation as the sole enemy, and use this as a basis to win over other countries."

As mentioned before, the Atlantic Federation systematically persecutes the Adjusters from top to bottom in order to divert class contradictions, but this may not be the case in other countries.

PLANT fell into a food crisis after the destruction of Junius 7. At this time, it was the United States of South America and the Oceania Union that secretly reached a food trade agreement with PLANT.

"The United States of South America has long been dissatisfied with the Atlantic Federation's brutal annexation, but lacks military strength to resist. Isn't this an opportunity for PLANT?"

Only a mentally ill person would really think that 60 million can beat 15 billion, so what PLANT should really do is to break the myth of the Atlantic Federation's dominance.

"Nations emphasize the exchange of interests. There's no absolute loyalty, and no absolute enemies. As long as ZAFT can bite the Atlantic Federation hard, other forces that already have plans in mind will also begin to stir. This is the art of forming alliances."

Winning over allies and disrupting the world situation is the only way for PLANT to win.

Rey had already witnessed the ambitions of the Eurasian Federation in Artemis before, and many countries were waiting for opportunities.

War always has an impact on the world situation, and this year is a historical anchor.

Is this true?

Bartfield then asked:

"So, in your opinion, what does it take for the Earth Alliance to win?"

This question is very simple.

"Colonial plant."

It's not about colonizing satellites, it's about taking away a country's sovereignty and making it obey orders.

Judging from the Atlantic Federation's terrible condition, colonizing PLANT would definitely not bring any good results.

From Rey's personal point of view, he really doesn't want the Earth Alliance to win. If this major change slips away, who knows when the next one will be.

The problem lies in what's going on with PLANT. He had said before that the Atlantic Federation's hate education created a terrorist organization like Blue Cosmos. Who knows if PLANT's hatred can be controlled now?

If not, then after PLANT wins, it will just become the second Cosmos.

That's why Ray asked Bartfield here:

"What is ZAFT thinking? Is he trying to achieve some strategic goal? Or is he simply seeking revenge?"

The national level cannot be driven by hatred. Isn’t the lesson of the blue cosmos enough?

That organization's terrorist attacks don't care whether other people are innocent or not. Even if a hundred people are killed on the spot, they don't care as long as there is an adjuster among them. The Atlantic Federation itself can no longer control these conflicts.

Huh? Why do you keep disparaging the Atlantic Federation?

Because they are disgusting. This group of people has lost control more than once or twice after trying to divert conflicts.

And then what? Are you saying they won't learn from their mistakes?

Please, those who are hurt and suffering are ordinary people. What does it have to do with these noble and powerful people?

So Rey wanted to know what the higher-ups at PLANT were thinking. Last time, he couldn't get anything out of the pilot who was investigating Jinn, so what about this time?

Bartfield stroked his chin, then gave a vague answer:

“My thoughts may be completely different from other people’s thoughts, and I don’t know what other people are thinking.”

His decisions only take effect here, and only those who stand higher up know what they are thinking.

Bartfield felt that the victory conditions mentioned by Ray were correct, but he did not forget that the prerequisite for achieving the conditions was to tear a piece of flesh from the Atlantic Federation.

Blood is needed to make the beast go mad, so:

"Then it's time you told me the information about the Archangel, and also tell me your name."

Since they want to give the Atlantic Federation a hard time, they naturally cannot let the Archangel go back. No one wants their country to become the loser in a war.

"I don't know much. After all, I'm just a pilot who can do nothing but fly a mobile suit. By the way, my name is Rey Rod."

As Rei spoke, he pondered in his mind, as the old saying goes, don't trust someone you don't know.

He was very much afraid that something terrible would happen in which I would not need anything except the boat.

"Let me think."

Rei is still making excuses.

And as he said, someone is thinking.

No one in this ward has the ability to see through things, and no one knows that Aslan, who woke up before Rey and was questioned, is listening to the conversation outside the ward.

Aslan doesn't like war. Only a very few people can fall in love with the feeling of killing and walking between life and death.

So Aslan also had doubts in his heart. He hated war and naturally hated fighting. This emotion quietly turned into boredom because he could not see the goal.

But now it’s different. What Rey said gave Aslan some hope. This time he learned not the goal of the battle, but the goal of the war.

He has a great mouth.

Aslan thought to himself that he must say that Rey always had a lot of useful things to say from his mouth.

It just gives people a feeling of split personality. When on MS, they feel out of control and crazy, but when they get off MS, they feel rational and a little humorous?

It's hard to say, because Aslan deeply understands that Rey's humor is based on teasing others.

Capture the Archangel.

Aslan thought this was a good idea, because he was now trapped in the taboo that Rey had once thought of in his heart - don't try to understand the enemy, don't resonate with the enemy, and don't even treat the enemy as a human being, otherwise it would be difficult to take action.

PS: Sorry! I'm only updating once today! I'm still thinking about the plot! My door lock broke today, so I went to the locksmith! The oil smell was really bad after it was fixed!

PS: Anyway, it will be available on Friday, and I will open a reward then. Everyone should vote for me for the preview that day.

PS: Actually, I never knew what recommendation tickets and monthly tickets can do. For a loser like me, it seems that they only make me happy. They probably help me build up my mental strength and make me happy to write.

Chapter 41 African Situation

The Archangel crashed in Africa. Surprisingly, the battleship did not burn up in the friction with the atmosphere.

Subsequently, the Archangel, which stayed in the desert, came into contact with the anti-ZAFT organization in the area.

The name of the organization is Dawn Desert

It is a resistance army formed by local people. Their goal is to expel the ZAFT army that occupies this area and take back their own homes.

Africa has no tradition of discriminating against or persecuting Adjusters, but after all, the Baltfield team operating in this region is ZAFT's army. Isn't it pure aggression for an army to station in another country?

That's why the Dawn Desert rose up in resistance. They didn't want their country to give up its sovereignty and become a colony of another country.

But ideas are just ideas. What can you do with just ideas?

Even the Earth Federation has not yet mastered the technology to develop mobile suits, so how could Dawn Desert possibly defeat Bartfield's mobile suits with just their physical bodies?

An organization that fails to see the situation clearly will only perish, so Dawn Desert has been waiting for an opportunity.

Now that the Archangel has entered their base, it is their chance. Now they have both the battleship and the MS.

"If the Earth Army's Archangel wants to leave, it must break through the ZAFT blockade. This isn't something that can be solved by just chatting with them, so I hope you can assist us."

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

The leader of the Dawn Desert, Seb Ashman, was discussing the next step of cooperation with the Archangel's captain, Malu. Although Malu was a woman, she would not be so easily tricked. She responded:

"Although our needs are different, we do agree on this matter, so I also think we should cooperate."

With just a few words, Malu brought the two parties to an equal relationship, which was actually the case.

To put it bluntly, the Dawn Desert is nothing without the Archangel and can only continue to hide.

If the Archangel loses the Dawn Desert, it can only be forced to start, which is equivalent to shouting to the ZAFT troops near the African region: "We are here, come quickly!"

The cooperation is mutually beneficial and everyone needs each other, not about who is the superior of whom.

As they exchanged words, a look of satisfaction appeared on Seb's face, which was darkened by the desert. He was actually testing Malu.

Although it may sound a bit sexist, he really doubted the strength of this female captain when he met Mariu.

How can the commander be a wimp?

And it turned out that the captain of the Archangel did not disappoint.

"As you said, cooperation is our best option."

Seb nodded, and the so-called tense atmosphere never arose.

This made Mu, who accompanied him, feel relieved. He had not learned any knowledge of negotiation, and all he could do was to protect the captain's safety.

"Then let's discuss our next steps."

As Seb spoke, he raised his hand and his subordinates brought him a prepared map.

There is no need to worry about the situation here, but on the other side, the members who remained on guard in the Archangel are still unable to let go of their worries. It is impossible for them to trust someone they have only met for a short time.

Bakilulu, who was temporarily sitting in the captain's seat, stared at the surrounding scenes captured by the Archangel. Although they were all basically wary of each other, they could see young children looking over here cautiously from the corner, and then these children were immediately taken away by the adults.

"Why are there children here?"

Helmsman Neumann asked in confusion, and Baki Lulu immediately replied:

"We can't leave the incapacitated man with his wife and children behind. If the ZAFT military investigates, they might uncover something. Besides, Africans have a strong sense of extended family, unrelated to blood. People of the same faith and community are also family."

It is natural for families to stick together.

"I see. There's a huge difference in thinking between different regions."

Neumann learned new knowledge. As a member of the Atlantic Federation, he still paid more attention to the individual. Unity is built on common experiences. Neighbors are just neighbors and it is impossible for them to become family members as a matter of course.

"but"

Neumann's words got stuck in his mouth, after all, it was really cruel.

"Forget it, it's nothing."

If you think about it carefully, it is a bit too dangerous to carry out resistance activities with your whole family. If you fail, won’t the whole family be ruined?

However, resistance activities are inherently life-threatening activities, so it makes no difference when viewed this way.

"Then the negotiations should go smoothly. After all, we have a common enemy."

"It's hard to say."

Baki Lulu shook her head and denied Neumann's words. She grew up in a military family and was trained to be a soldier since she was a child.

On this basis, I naturally pay attention to the world situation and think about this aspect.

Just because we have a common enemy means we can get along? That's not going to happen.

"The Earth Alliance, which was only officially established 70 years ago, has many enemies."

On February 7, 1970, the Earth Union replaced the original United Nations.

Four days later, on February 11, 1970, the Earth Federation declared war on PLANT.

Then, countries on Earth that were pro-PLANT also began to take action, the first of which was the Oceania Union.

After the Earth Federation forcibly swallowed up the United States of South America for its Panama Spaceport, the Oceania Federation completely turned to PLANT, openly providing military bases for ZAFT and transporting food to PLANT's homeland.

So here comes the key: the Archangel crashed into the territory of the African Community, which is also pro-PLANT.

At first glance, this war seems to be a fight between regulators and natural people, but in fact, there are too many things involved, and the situation in the world is likely to change.

Thinking of this, Baki Lulu continued:

"We can't get official help here."

The atmosphere became silent for a moment, so Baki Lulu held back the rest of her words.
