I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

It's a pity that even if someone finds out about this situation, they won't understand why.

On the 10th of the same month, Kruse's team caught up with the Archangel, which had already rendezvoused with the main force of the United Army's Eighth Fleet of the Universe, without wasting much effort.

In view of the fact that the main force of the Eighth Fleet of the United Army Universe is basically there, Kruzer also issued a tentative attack order. After confirming the attitude of the Eighth Fleet of the United Army Universe to save the Archangel, he also estimated that the strong attack would cause inestimable damage. After the loss, Kruse was 'helpless' and had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

However, Kluzer did not take the fleet away, but cruised in the space near the Eighth Fleet of the United Army Universe.

During the discussion between Kruzer and the captains of the fleet, they finally came to the conclusion of closely monitoring, looking for opportunities, and requesting support from the ZAFT headquarters.

In Earth orbit, Lieutenant General Halbarton, Commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Allied Space Forces, finally found the time to have a detailed talk with Mario and the others after the ZAFT fleet retreated.

For this reason, Halbaden also purposely boarded the Archangel, and held a formal meeting with Maliu, Natal, and Uncle Mu in the meeting room.

After listening to the three of Marius tell what they saw and heard, as well as their personal opinions one by one, Halbotton fell silent.

Especially the words that Tomariu, the prince from another world, brought to him, caused ripples in his heart gradually.

"General?"

Seeing that Halbaton didn't respond for a long time, Maru couldn't help calling softly.

Halbaden, who was sitting at the head of the conference room, looked up at Maru, "You shouldn't have brought these words for that prince. This prince has a bad heart."

"But it's an opportunity, a rare opportunity, isn't it?" Maru said.

"You still like to play around so much." Halbaton smiled helplessly, "Things are not so simple."

"What kind of boss is there, and what kind of subordinates are there. Besides, where is the opportunity, you can't just miss it like this?" Maliu was not polite at all, because Halbaton was also very important to her. Master is also father.

"You..." Halbotton shook his head with a smile, and finally changed his words, "I have already made it clear, and I will formally report to the United Army headquarters, but you must be mentally prepared, things may not be correct. It will unfold in an ideal state.”

The three of Maliu couldn't help showing surprised expressions, and Maliu asked directly, "General, isn't it?"

"Who knows..." Halbaton shook his head and said, "Let's put these things aside for now. Now Zaft's fleet is still cruising in the nearby space. Needless to say the target, the Archangel should descend as soon as possible after completing the supply." .”

After saying that, Halbotton got up from his seat and planned to leave.

But at this moment, Natal suddenly said, "General! About Kira Yamato, I heard that he has decided to retire?"

Halbaton looked at Natal, and finally said, "I went to meet him on purpose. He made it very clear that he didn't want to join the army, so let him go."

"General! The subordinates think that Kira Yamato is a rare talent, so we can't just let him go..."

"I know." Halbaton's voice became a little harsh, "The situation forced me to act helplessly, that is justifiable, now that I have a choice, I will forcibly leave an absent-minded person in the army , besides increasing hidden dangers, what's the point?"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Natal's eyes, "In this case, why not..."

"Enough!" Before Natal finished speaking, Halbotton stopped directly, "We are just soldiers, there are some things we shouldn't think about, don't be self-righteous... um... this is the end of the matter Let's stop."

As if he didn't want to continue this topic, Halbaden left the conference room after speaking.

The three of Maliu hurried forward to see them off, and it was not until Halbaton and the accompanying adjutant boarded the transport vehicle and returned to the flagship of the Eighth Fleet that Natal asked Maliu in a low voice.

"Captain, are you really going to let Kira Yamato go like this?"

"This is an order." Maru looked at Natal with a complicated expression, and then sighed, "Natal, I understand what you mean, unscrupulous, often counts as wrong, but it is not necessarily right .

Some things are the bottom line and must not be touched. This is the consensus of the general, or the Eighth Fleet of the entire universe. "

After saying that, Maru floated towards the bridge.

Natal frowned, she didn't seem to understand the way of thinking of Maru, or General Halbotton.

But at this time, Uncle Mu suddenly said, "I really didn't expect that the well-known Commander of the Eighth Fleet of the United Army Universe on the battlefield would appear to be so humane. If I had known this earlier, I would have found a way to transfer here .”

"Captain Fulada, is this really suitable?"

"You really..."

Uncle Mu was also a little helpless by Natal's thoughts. He didn't expect that this colleague who seemed to have a popular resume couldn't turn a corner...

After thinking about it, Uncle Mu finally had to say, "Once an army loses all human touch, it is nothing more than a group of executioners who only know how to obey orders. Apart from being a tool for politicians, what is the meaning of this kind of army?

It can be said that it is understandable to seek victory by unscrupulous means on the battlefield, but maintaining this mentality outside the battlefield will only completely lose people's hearts.

The vast majority of people are emotional, and understanding is understanding, but it doesn't mean they can accept it.

It is a great blessing that the Eighth Space Fleet has such a commander, and the Archangel has such a captain, so cherish it. "

After Uncle Mu finished speaking, he patted Natal on the shoulder, and then floated towards Ganaku.

Natal looked at the back of Uncle Mu leaving, and was in a daze for a while, "Is it human..."

Breathing out inexplicably, Natal regained her emotions and quickly floated towards the bridge...

......

On February 71, CE2, when the supply of ammunition and other materials to the Archangel was about to be completed, Zaft's reinforcements came.Without hesitation, Kruse launched another attack on the Eighth Fleet of the Combined Space Force and the Archangel.

In this battle, Kluzer put all four G-series aircrafts including the Holy Shield into the battlefield. Under the strong pressure of the four specially installed aircrafts, the Eighth Fleet of the Universe suffered heavy losses. At a critical juncture, they did not have time to board civilian ships. Kira couldn't bear it anymore because he thought about the care of Maru and Uncle Mu these days, and the situation in the alliance was getting worse and worse. In the end, he chose to board the Strike Gundam again and tried his best Cover the Archangel's descent.

When the Eighth Space Fleet was within reach, Kluzer suddenly ordered the MS troops to besiege the Archangel with all their strength, but unfortunately, because it was too close to the atmosphere, the descent of the Archangel was irreversible, and the remnants of the United Army's Space Eighth Fleet also There was already a tendency to evacuate, and Kruse used the ZAFT command to sink or capture the Archangel as an excuse to give up the opportunity to destroy the Eighth Fleet of the United Universe and contact the ZAFT garrison in the atmosphere. See if you can intercept the Archangel in the atmosphere.

Although the captains of the fleet were a little puzzled about Kruse's order, they quickly expressed their understanding.

Although this is a good opportunity to destroy the Eighth Fleet of the United Universe, their goal itself is only the Archangel and the last G-series special machine.Although the Eighth Fleet of the United Universe has been disabled now, it does not completely lose its ability to counterattack. The victory of Ford's side will only be a tragic victory, and it somewhat means that the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking about it this way, Kruse's order is also reasonable.

It's just that, what the real situation will be, it's up to the beholder.

After this great battle, the Eighth Fleet of the United Universe has already injured its muscles and bones. It can only integrate the remnants and slowly retreat to the lunar base. It will not appear on the frontal battlefield for a long time in the future.

This should have been a bad thing, but for Halbotton, it was not. At least, he now had time to think about it, and even prepare for some things.

As for the Archangel, the situation was not very good. Because of the rush to descend during the battle, the angle of entering the atmosphere deviated, and it almost broke directly into Zaft's sphere of influence.In this regard, Maru and the others could only bite the bullet and choose to make an emergency landing first, so as to avoid ZAFT's air encirclement and suppression. In the end, they corrected the course many times, and could only descend to areas that were closer and not within ZAFT's sphere of influence. Expected to land in a country in the African Community...

Chapter 288 Worse Than Expected

It is impossible to hide the situation of the Archangel from Zaft. As a matter of course, Kruse also soon knew the approximate landing area of ​​the Archangel, but this has nothing to do with Kruse, at least for the time being. It doesn't matter, after all, he is leading a standard space fleet, and it is impossible to directly break into the atmosphere to continue the pursuit mission.

Even if he wants to continue the mission, Kruse must first go back to PLANT for a routine debriefing. As for whether the ZAFT headquarters will allow him to continue this mission, it is up to him.

But just when Kruzer was about to order the fleet to return, Aslan, Yitzhak, Nigel, Diego and other red-clothed elites simultaneously applied to Kruzer for permission to transfer.

After knowing that this group of "second generations" wanted to be transferred to the earth to continue chasing the Archangel, Cruze hesitated. He did not forget the request of a prince from another world, but considering the Archangel and Strike Gundam He is excellent, and he is really incapable of stopping this group of 'second generations', so he just let it go.

No way, Aslan, that's the son of the supreme leader of the military.Yitzhak and Nigel's identities are not bad, and both have family members who serve as powerful members of the PLANT Supreme Council. Even Diego is from a prestigious family, and the family's influence in PLANT is not small.

Facing this group of "second generations" of the real power faction, with almost no background, Kruse who won the "white clothes" by military exploits alone is not enough to look at.

As for the reason why Aslan and others are so persistent in chasing the Archangel, the main reason is that both Aslan and Yitzhak are eyeing the pilot of the Strike Gundam.

Needless to say, Aslan, it was because of the 'good friend', and it seemed that he still had the idea of ​​persuading the 'good friend' to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

Yitzhak was educated by Kira many times during the battle, and even almost lost his life at one point. Yitzhak hated the pilot of the Strike Gundam because of this, and he wanted to avenge his hatred.

As for Nigel and Diego, they just follow the crowd, there is no way, they are the best friends of Aslan and Yitzhak respectively, so we can't just leave them alone.

Just as Aslan and the others descended to ZAFT's Gibraltar base and were about to continue chasing the Archangel, Nangong Xiao met Higgle Klein at Klein's mansion in PLANT. The two passed through a closed door After the talks, it can be regarded as reaching a preliminary cooperation intention.

Yes, just intent.

Higgle Klein did not make many substantive promises, and Nangong Xiao was not in a hurry to implement the details of the cooperation. Both sides had a preliminary understanding, and everything had to wait until the Sugon system was officially connected to the world.

For this result, the two sides actually expected it before they met.

Especially Nangong Xiao, he is very clear that the cooperation with Higel belongs to two forces, or the cooperation between two countries, and the nature is completely different.If it is really achieved by leaps and bounds, Nangong Xiao, who is seeking long-term cooperation, will consider choosing a new partner instead.

This is also one of the reasons why Nangong Xiao thought of treating Kruze in the first place.

After talking with Higel in detail, Nangong Xiao stayed in Klein's mansion for two days, mainly to understand the reality of PLANT through the Internet and Lacus.

After all, animation is just animation, and the information that can be improved for Nangong Xiao is very limited.

Just when Nangong Xiao had a deep understanding of PLANT's military, government and people's livelihood, on this day, Lux brought the latest situation of the Archangel.

After learning about it, Nangong Xiao also felt very surprised. Unexpectedly, the Archangel would go back to the old path of the original plot. This made Nangong Xiao doubt whether there is a concept of "corrective power" in this world...

In the garden of Klein's mansion, seeing Nangong Xiao keeping silent for a long time after getting the current status of the Archangel, Lacus poured tea for Nangong Xiao and asked softly, "Is there a problem with this information?"

Picking up the teacup on the small round table, Nangong Xiao took a sip, then shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about other things."

"Is that so..." Lax could see that Nangong Xiao didn't want to explain, so she turned around and asked, "Is Mr. Nangong leaving?"

"Yes." Nangong Xiao didn't deny it either, "There are some things that must be done, um, I will leave after a while."

"Is that so..." Lux didn't know what to say for a moment.To be honest, it's not that she didn't understand this person's 'good intentions' that were almost on the table, but just because she understood, she seemed to be in a particularly complicated mood.

On some level, this person disrupted the rhythm of her life.

The fiancé's misunderstanding, her own father's strangeness and deep thinking, and this person's "burning heat", honestly, none of this is what she wanted.

If possible, she would prefer that everything be flat, but unfortunately, her status is destined to be an extravagant wish.

Nangong Xiao, who has a keen sense, noticed the change in Lax's expression. After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on her.

This is what troubled her...

With this realization, Nangong Xiao thought about it a little bit, and felt that he was too utilitarian and impatient in his recent actions.

After thinking about the system and the identity of the qualified person, Nangong Xiao soon found the reason.

It should be that the mandatory task is imminent, which made him impatient.

Now that he savors it carefully, this strange feeling is really bad. At this moment, he really doesn't want his emotional system to continue to be completed by the system...

After understanding the reason, Nangong Xiao said sincerely, "I'm sorry, some things caused me to be a little impatient, and it also caused my words and deeds to cause trouble to you without careful consideration. This is my fault. I am very sorry."

"Eh?" Nangong Xiao's sudden sincere apology stunned Lacus a little, and made her feel even more complicated. After all, such things, such as apologizing, are really meaningless.

But Lux is not a petty person, rather than being annoyed by it, she was more curious about the reason, and asked a little puzzled, "Can you tell me, what made you irritable?"

"I'll tell you next time we meet." Nangong Xiao smiled.

——If there is a next time, let’s talk about it...

Lax didn't care much about Nangong Xiao's intention of not going into details, but she always felt something was wrong, so she said, "In this case, it's an agreement."

"...Okay." Nangong Xiao paused, then nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Nangong Xiao offered to leave, but at this moment, Higel Klein returned to the mansion at this time.

Out of politeness, Nangong Xiao went to say goodbye to Higel in person.

After learning that Nangong Xiao was about to leave, Higel said, "Mr. Nangong, the Supreme Council has already decided to send a small-scale mission to Shuguang City to establish initial contact, and then discuss the next step." things."

"This is what it should be." The efficiency of the PLANT council is higher than expected, Nangong Xiao thought, and asked at the same time, "I don't know how long it will take for your mission to prepare? Sorry, if it takes too long, The dispatch of the mission can be delayed a little bit."

Higel said, "I will push it myself. If there is no accident, the mission will be ready tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll bother you one more night."

"Mr. Nangong is very polite, this is our family's honor." After Xigel said politely, he suddenly said, "Mr. Nangong, I hope that Lacus will stay in Dawn City temporarily as one of the representatives of PLANT's mission. "

"Father?!"

Higel's sudden words made Lacus' pupils shrink slightly, and even Nangong Xiao was a little surprised.

Higel shook his head towards Lacus, "Lacus, be obedient, treat it as a vacation."

Seeing the determination in her father's eyes, Lacus also knew that the matter had been settled, so she could only bow her head in silence.

At the same time, she can also understand that this is not a vacation, it is simply to let her avoid disaster!

But Nangong Xiao said bluntly at this time, "Have you and the hawk faction headed by Patrick Sarah reached this point?"

Nangong Xiao's straightforwardness made Higel slightly taken aback, but he soon remembered that it seemed that this prince from another world had a certain understanding of the situation of PLANT early in the morning.

Relieved, Higel also calmed down, "Although this is not what we want to see, but the matter has come to this point, and we must face it."

"Patrick Sara has completely mastered Zafft?" Nangong Xiao asked.

Higel secretly praised 'smart', and then said with some bitterness, "It's not just the army. With the recent succession of victories, Patrick's prestige in the Supreme Council has been unmatched."

Nangong Xiao nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Although he is also very curious, what kind of conflict happened that made Higel make the decision of Lux to seek refuge in another country?

But it's not good to ask directly about this matter, Nangong Xiao also changed his mind and said, "You can rest assured of me, obviously I have unreasonable thoughts about your daughter."

Nangong Xiao's straightforwardness once again stunned Higel and even Lacus.

Especially Lux, was a little caught off guard by such sudden words, which were equivalent to a confession, and she was a little confused for a while.

But Higgle paused for a moment, but said with a hearty smile, "I'm still very confident in my vision. I can see that you won't hurt Lacus, not in every sense."
