Gundam EXARE

In fact, Mu felt familiar with this because he was also this type of person, and he was so casual because he was a driver.

Ray should also be the pilot.

Although Rei claimed to be an employee of the Aurora Society, Mu could sense a similar atmosphere from Rei.

The facts are very close to what Mu thought. Ray's disrespectful attitude is partly due to his identity as a pilot.

You ask me if I can come back alive after the next attack? How would I know?

It is better to enjoy life while you can and do whatever you want within a limited scope.

Back to the present, facing Rey's attitude, Bakilulu actually wanted to get angry, but then she thought again that not all the people on the Archangel were soldiers.

Baki Lulu is not an ignorant person. There is no need for her to conflict with the only two pilots just because of a little dissatisfaction.

What's more, he is more than just a driver.

This is why Mari, Mu, and Bakirulu all hope that Ray will come to the bridge.

The previous battles seemed to be going smoothly at every step, but they were actually thrilling. If Rei was shot down during the surprise attack, everything would be in vain. If Rei's plan was missing a step, it would be difficult to succeed.

It was because of him that the Archangel was able to escape. Who could have imagined that with such a huge gap in combat power, they not only escaped but also inflicted heavy damage on the opponent.

In other words, Rey Rhodes is a versatile man.

He has both the ability to command with an overview of the overall situation and to make plans, and the ability to drive a MS into battle and kill the enemy.

A test pilot for the Akebono Society? That's all for now.

Hoping to win him over to the army.

Bakilulu thought about this matter seriously. Orb was already a potential ally of the United Nations, so transferring its nationality was not impossible.

It would be a waste of this man's talents to be just a test driver.

The above are all Bakilulu's thoughts, and Marilu hopes that Ray will come to the bridge just to discuss with him what to do next.

"Rei, from your perspective, what should we do next?"

It was actually a bit of a dereliction of duty for Malu to ask this question as the captain, but the crew of the Archangel were not in the best mental state, and they suddenly took on the heavy responsibility.

In this situation, Rei, who proved himself with his ability, unknowingly pushed himself to the position of pillar.

And Rei himself is aware of this. He has only been the captain of an MS team and has never been a captain.

But there is no way to escape now. I just promised to protect those children, how can I go back on my word?

"What do you think, Captain? Planning on going to Artemis?"

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

The Artemis that Ray mentioned is a space fortress built by the Eurasian Federation, one of the components of the Earth Union.

The Eurasian Federation's unique light wave barrier technology is used there, making it an impregnable fortress.

In fact, Artemis's geographical location is of no strategic value, but the barrier technology is indeed powerful, so it has such a great reputation.

Facing Ray's question, Maru nodded and continued:

"We think this is the best option. It's the closest Earth military base to us, so we plan to go to Artemis first to obtain protection and then contact the headquarters on the moon."

"But you have concerns about this, don't you?"

Rei saw through Maru's thoughts and realized that he came to ask for his opinion because he doubted the Eurasian Federation.

On the surface, Orb is carrying out Plan G together with the Earth Union, but in fact, it is the Atlantic Federation, one of the members of the Earth Union, that is carrying out the plan together with Orb.

"Although they claim to be the Earth Union, each member of the Earth Union has their own agenda. If the Archangel truly accepts Artemis' protection, it's unclear how long it will last."

Lei Yi pointed out the key point: when you are on someone else's territory, don't they have the final say on how they treat you?

Sure, I can help you contact the moon, but I'll decide when to contact you.

The Archangel, Assault, Golden Heretic, battleships and MS are all here. It's normal for me to check the structure and data while helping you maintain them, right?

If the Earth Federation really defeats PLANT, it is hard to say where the member states will turn their guns next after dividing the fruits of victory.

"But this place is quite far from the moon. Not only might the resources on board be insufficient, but the information on the Archangel and the Strike has already been leaked to ZAFT. They'll surely do everything in their power to stop us."

Rei was not only speaking to others, but was also summarizing the situation for himself and trying to find a way out of it.

“There are three ways.”

He raised his finger.

"so much?"

Mu, who was listening with his arms crossed, was surprised. Ray raised his finger and continued:

"First, the Archangel will wait here for a while before turning back to Heliopolis to await rescue from Orb and the Earth Army. We've dealt a heavy blow to the ZAFT, and they won't dare stay near Heliopolis any longer. If the Earth Army arrives, they'll be finished."

"Ooooh, that sounds good."

To be honest, Mu Zhen will support you.

"But ZAFT might also realize the danger of G and forcefully land on Heliopolis, taking all the data even if it means risking their lives. That would make us go from being daring to being foolhardy."

Rei was hesitant to say that his plan would succeed, as he felt that the ZAFT commander he had fought before was a venomous snake.

If he hadn't known the performance and weaponry of G, the Archangel would have been destroyed here long ago.

Moreover, judging from the enemy commander's immediate use of all four Gs, he was very bold, so it would not be surprising if he really turned back to Heliopolis.

Plans come with risks, and reality is not a game. He can't see what the enemy does from a God's perspective.

So he talked about the second option:

"Second, we head straight to the lunar headquarters. We can go to Junius 7 to look for supplies on the way."

"what?"

This time even Mu couldn't support it. The so-called Junius 7 was the beginning of ZAFT's madness. The Earth Army used nuclear bombs first without any notification, and blew up the agricultural satellite Junius 7.

If the Earth Army had not done this, PLANT would not have been able to drop the neutron jammer on Earth when the battle situation was still under control.

You've already dropped a nuclear bomb once, so should I believe you won't use it again?

Rather than exposing its citizens to constant nuclear threats, PLANT chose to block all nuclear technologies, causing suffering to the people on Earth.

The country must first consider its own situation, and all this is because the first military action carried out by the Earth Army after the war was to massacre 24 civilians. This is really

Thinking of this, Ray shook his head and regrouped before saying:

"At most, it's just a pang of conscience, but if you starve yourself for two days, your stomach will hurt."

Rei believed that they had to survive first before considering morality. Besides, they were only going there to obtain resources, not to bring back corpses to eat, so they could just suffer for a while.

"But this long journey carries the risk of being pursued by ZAFT."

The safest way is the third one:

"The third way is to go to Artemis. Even if the technology is leaked, we will definitely be safe."

If you ask Ray which option he prefers, he will say:

"I tend to choose the third path. Between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. Giving the technology to the Eurasian Federation is better than giving it to ZAFT."

The above is an excuse, the rhetoric he used to persuade the Atlantic Federation soldiers.

Rey is not from the Atlantic Federation, so what does the technology leak have to do with him?

He just knew that Artemis was safe, and if he could get there he could ensure the safety of the students on the ship.

After everything was done, he happily took his students back to Orb, etc., but it seemed that they couldn't go back.

Rei thought about it and realized that if he went back, he might be held accountable for the unauthorized use of the Golden Heresy and the technology leak.

Why not just take advantage of this opportunity to join the Eurasian Federation?

Remember that the Eurasian Federation is not like the Atlantic Federation in that it discriminates against and targets adjusters from top to bottom. So it shouldn't be a big deal for him to join the Eurasian Federation to make a living, right?

Ray has finished speaking, and now it is up to Mariu and the others to make their choice.

He was thinking about other things at the side. Although he had thought about joining the Eurasian Federation before, he felt uncomfortable somewhere in his heart when he thought about it.

Just as uncomfortable as when he'd said Orb joining the Earth Union was a good choice.

After all, isn't the energy crisis on Earth caused by the Earth Army dropping a nuclear bomb on Junius 7?

Rei remembered that on his side, that is, AD's side, the nuclear bombs of the old century were used to deter each other. After realizing the power of that thing, no one really dropped it on other people's cities.

Why did the Earth Army here drop a nuclear bomb on Junius 7 without any psychological pressure?

The answer was in the news Ray was reading. The moment he figured it out, Mariu also made a decision:

PS: Compared to the old Rey who I didn’t care about even if I thought about it, the Rey in RE is someone who knows a lot but feels that he can’t do anything anyway.

PS: The old work was about seeking death, RE was confused, it has changed!

Chapter 9 Where the Eyes Are

In the lounge, students were chatting, encouraging and comforting each other.

But there was a young man here who never spoke, and he was Kira.

He once thought this when he saw the news:

The beating was so harsh.

It was about the conflict between the Earth Army and ZAFT. At that time, he hadn't thought too much about it and he didn't know anything.

But just a few hours ago, he saw an old friend who had become a MS pilot and might have done some really bad fighting somewhere.

Everyone will subconsciously turn a blind eye to things before they happen to them, because people have always been like this. They don't know the pain unless they suffer losses. Only when they have truly experienced it will they have the corresponding feelings.

The man who was here before said this—this is not something that has nothing to do with you.

It's none of my business

Kira still thought so subconsciously, but he remembered what happened when he parted with Athrun.

At that time, Aslan said that the two sides would not fight, but Aslan became a soldier of ZAFT and participated in the war.

Kira's emotional escape was defeated by his rational restraint, and he finally realized that the war was not as far away as he thought.

Orb cannot remain immune, if only there were no war.

war?

Kira had a question at this time:

How did the war actually start?

I remember one day I saw on the news that war had been declared, and then

do not know.

Kira paid attention to it for three or four days before turning around to do other things and forgetting the war. He would only occasionally see related news and talk about it with his parents and friends.

He also remembered seeing news about the tragic conditions on the battlefield and the lack of electricity and heating due to energy shortages in winter, but he stopped reading because they were too cruel.

Now Kira could only remember the vague title, but could not remember the specific content at all.

It’s not that the war wasn’t fierce and had little impact, it’s just that he looked away.

But Kira still remembered the reason why he looked away. He was just a student and a teenager. What was the point of him looking at these things?

Will this war end if I keep suffering?

No, so he deliberately avoided those uncomfortable things in order to make himself feel more comfortable. Is that wrong?

You see, if I think about these things now, my mind will become a mess and I won’t be able to sort it out, and I will just feel heavy.

Just as Kira was confused and thinking, a hand was placed on his shoulder, followed by a sentence:

"Young man, can you come and help me?"

Kira raised his head. Wasn't this the man who had shaken his worldview just ten minutes ago?

There was some unhappiness between the two sides, so why did he come back so suddenly?

After returning to the lounge, Ray saw Kira come to his senses and continued:

"Come and help us adjust the Raider's OS."

Although Ray had no problem using the Golden Heretic, Mu was very stuck when using the Assault.

The OS for natural people obtained from the Akebono Society is not yet perfect, and Kira happened to have performed on-site modification and production.
