Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 40 Restoration of History ([-])
All the changes happened so fast that the formation of Orb warships that came to greet Kagali not far away did not react.Originally, when the two sides were evenly matched, the fleet commander was still thinking about how to act as a middleman to mediate. No matter how bad it was, they had to let them take the princess away before the two sides continued to fight.

As a result, before a new order from the mainland was sent, within a few minutes the whole situation had become the current state of being on the verge of firing.However, unlike the original Archangel, which was driven to the Orb border like a bereaved dog while fighting and fleeing, due to Siegfried's intervention, even if ZAFT added a Sigurd, the route of the Archangel has never been too big. At this time, the three parties still have a long distance from the Orb coastline.

"Easy, everyone, calm down, now that it's like this, it's better to discuss a way to deal with it that's good for both of us."

Originally, Siegfried was only thinking of proving Hilde's mistake by shooting down duel, but after hearing Mili's call for help, he immediately reacted and captured Xigu. After he saw the situation clearly, his originally anxious heart calmed down instantly. down.

The communication sent by the Gespenst public channel did not receive any reply. In this suffocating scene, Siegfried even had the leisure to notice the dolphins jumping out of the sea in the distance.

"I'm the team commander, Aslan Sara, the driver on the other side, please state your name."

After a while, Aslan should have persuaded Yitzhak, and the duel also stopped. After separating from the assault, the holy shield stepped on Gewu and stopped in front of Gespenst.

"Siegfried, Aslan, right? I heard you're still Kira's friend?"

"This has nothing to do with the current situation, why not tell me what you think."

Originally, in Siegfried's memory, Aslan seemed to be an exceptionally talkative character, but now that he met him for the first time, his ruthless vigor completely overturned Siegfried's impression.

"This... Ms. Uh? Seems to be more important to you? My request is also very simple, let us go, and I will not hurt her."

"Either let her go now. There is no second choice. There are at least a few hundred people on your battleship. If it was you, how would you choose?"

Duel heard Aslan's reply and seemed to want to move forward again, but was stopped by the storm around him. Siegfried lamented that the other party was worthy of being the second generation of the Sarah family. This kind of negotiating ability seemed to have been systematically developed. nourish.

The current situation is indeed unfavorable to the Archangel. The number of hostages that Xunlei is aiming at is a hundred times the number of hostages in Gespenst's hands. The strange linkage between the duels, and the fact that Aslan is not a ruthless ZAFT soldier after all, must consider Yitzhak's feelings.

"One person takes a step back. Next to us is the Orb fleet. You must know that they are neutral countries. Let me express my sincerity first. Orb is here to pick up some of the refugees we accommodated in Heliopolis. If you think it is okay If so, I think Orb can play the true qualities of a neutral country and let them hand over the hostages."

There was another silence. It seemed that Aslan was discussing the feasibility of this method with other team members.Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for warring parties to exchange prisoners of war in neutral countries, and neutral countries themselves have also assumed part of the mediation duties, so this proposal is also a more feasible solution for ZAFT.

After a while, they should have reached an agreement with Yitzhak, and Aslan also gave his own reply.

"There is no problem in principle, but how can I trust your credit?"

"Lax has been sent back to you, and you still ask me for credit?"

Siegfried loosened his collar, and was really annoyed by Aslan's aggressiveness, but thinking that Hilde and Cagalli were both on the Archangel, he could only show some quick words.

The Orb Fleet not far away certainly knew that their princess was still under ZAFT's guns, so after Siegfried and Aslan's proposal came at the same time, the head of the fleet agreed to act as a mediator after communicating with the Prime Minister's Office .

"Enter Orb in the name of mediation?"

After being pointed at the bridge of the Archangel by Thunder's black gun for a long time, Maliu received a note from Obfang stating that the signature was Uzmi-Nara-Ashar.

"At present, it seems that the handover of the hostages must go to Orb's homeland, and then they will hand it over to PLANT. This is the promise made by Uzmi, and it is also an exchange method that the other party also recognizes."

When he received the notice, Siegfried had already guessed what Uzmi was planning. Originally, it was difficult to say whether Uzmi supported or opposed the Archangel's forced landing on Orb, but now it seems that what's already hit The statement of "sinking the United battleship" is simply farting. The Orb Lion has long been eyeing the battle data of this cutting-edge battleship and Strike Gundam, which was participated in the manufacture by the Dawn Society.

According to the standard of 'the fleet is the country's mobile territory', the two sides can complete the handover of hostages on the Orb Fleet, and agree on a truce time under the supervision of the Orb side. Time will also be respected.

But now, although Uzmi himself is not on the scene, he can keenly perceive that the United side does not have the upper hand in this transaction based on the feedback from the fleet.Immediately afterwards, an intriguing request for "local consultation" was sent, which seemed to have fulfilled the obligation of a neutral country, but in fact it was more than a hundred times better than the original opening eyes and saying that the Archangel had been sunk. Under the premise of antipathy, he can get first-hand data, which is worthy of being a character who has been trained to survive in the cracks.

"I know it's the only way out right now. But Natal?"

Although Maru has also grown rapidly along the way, this is the first time she encounters such a life-and-death situation, she still looks to her deputy as if asking for help.

"At present, although we have not obtained an order from our superiors, considering that our ship is out of contact with the Alaska headquarters, we can only agree to Orb's mediation suggestion based on a comprehensive assessment."

With the endorsement of a country's prime minister, Xunlei finally removed the beam rifle that was pressing on the hearts of Maru and others. Since the Orb fleet did not have the ability to accommodate MS, Gespenst needed to bring the broken Xigu back to the Archangel first. Ganaku, and then hand over the driver to Orb, accompanied by Bucky Lulu.

After returning to Ganaku, Siegfried came out of the cockpit and found that the Ginn that followed him from the universe to the earth was completely turned into a pile of scrap iron.The battle near the atmosphere had already caused a lot of damage to the machine, and then the battle in the desert became a nightmare for the maintenance team. Now under the attack of Xunlei, there is no possibility of repairing it.

"Yo!"

Regret sat on the pile of 'ruins' and greeted Siegfried with some melancholy. He didn't think it was incomprehensible for the Sky King to leave him at that time.In terms of combat experience, he was only a little less on this ship than Mu, so he fully understood that this kind of plan to seek a tactical breakthrough in a local area must be taken by some people, and now that he has come back alive, there is no reason to blame anyone .

"Good luck."

"Yeah, good luck, I just hope there will be no next time."

With a wry smile, he patted Ginn's cockpit. The high-temperature particle flow had already liquefied part of the armor, and the scorched marks on it were the closest Legeret was to death in his life.

"Wouldn't you come out there?"

Siegfried raised his chin towards Sigu. Originally, the Archangel didn't want to do anything wrong, after all, he had agreed to accept Orb's coordination.As a result, Xigu's pilot refused to get out of the cockpit, and even locked it from inside. The angry Marduk had already brought the decoder and was about to force open the hatch.

"The temper is quite grumpy."

"It seems to be a girl, then I heard the driver's voice."

"That's more to see. As far as I know, there are very few female drivers in ZAFT, and I know a few of them."

For Siegfried, he thanked this 'unknown' pilot from the bottom of his heart. In the previous battle, it can be said that it was because of his choice that the Archangel faced the danger of being shot down. This Xigu forcibly opened the duel, once Gespenst knocked down Yizhak, the next second Xunlei would plunge the long spear dart into the bridge of the Archangel, and then there would be an endless battle between the remaining mobile suits up.

During Marduk's work, Mu also came to the two of them. As the temporary commander of the mobile suit unit, he was also full of curiosity about this Xigu. Cardiac arrest.

"Sorry, Major"

"At that time, your choice was not wrong. The idea of ​​using the shortest time to achieve local advantages was correct. If there was a mistake, I, as the commander, was the first person responsible."

Patting Siegfried on the shoulder, Mu didn't think there was a problem with his tactical choice. In fact, Xunlei's move to throw away Gwu and forcefully open the mirage was a big risk. That's another ending.

"We are now the weak side, and as the weak, we have to take greater risks. This is war."

As several people chatted, Xigu's cockpit was finally opened forcibly. Faced with such an uncooperative captive, Bucky Lulu would not talk to her about basic human rights. A group of soldiers with live ammunition pointed their guns at In the cockpit, under the complicated eyes of everyone, a girl in red slowly walked out of the cockpit.

"Take off your helmet and raise your hands!"

It is true that Bucky Lulu could tell at a glance that the other party was a girl, but this did not prevent her from treating the girl who was also a ZAFT soldier in the same way she treated Regret.

"Take off your helmet immediately and raise your hands high!"

Finding that the other party was still unwilling to cooperate, Bucky Lulu waved his hand, and the United soldiers with guns behind him had already made a shooting guard posture. Faced with this pressure, the female driver had to take off her helmet.

"You are so young."*2
Looking at the face under the helmet, Siegfried and Mu sighed in unison.

"Shiho. Are you Shiho?"

And Regret seemed to have fulfilled his previous promise of "knowing every female driver". Looking at the figure in front of him, he uttered an unbelievable cry.
