Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 412 The Accelerated World ([-])

"Has PLANT announced the death toll?"

"Not yet, we have sent someone to contact the Council, but such a big thing happened, and even one member of the Council is missing. The Council now has no time to reply to us, and the news from the Joint Earth Observatory, The entire PLANT mainland has entered a state of war, and it is not easy even for their own people to return home."

After the press conference was hurriedly interrupted by the 'nuclear bomb', Mina did not disperse the reporters. Instead, he lent the Orb Press Center so that these people could go directly to work. After all, whether it is a photocopier or a nuclear weapon, no matter how you look at it None of it seems like a good sign.

As for Mina herself, she first stopped Takito, who was preparing to go to South America, and at the same time ended Mayura's bereavement leave. Shambro must complete the preparations for the attack within half an hour, and Mina needs to see it take him three hours later. He led Grabro to guard the gate of Orb's territorial waters.

After completing the preliminary defense arrangements for the outer sea, she went to the Dawn Club to sneak Hilde out. At this time, she didn't even think about hiding in the development department.

"Are you sure it was Unit [-] that did it?"

Hilde originally planned to complain, but after hearing that PLANT was attacked by a nuclear bomb, she immediately restrained her emotions. As the developer of Sour Berry, the first thing she thought of was the stolen nuclear mobile suit.

"If you ask me, I can only answer that you don't know, because PLANT has not released any information. The whereabouts of Representative Elsman is unknown because he returned to Fibralius City to participate in a medical seminar in the past few days. Originally, Orb wanted to send people to participate, but after Genesis α started moving, I asked the academic group to stay away, and now it seems that they have escaped a disaster."

"What if others say that Orb didn't go because he knew the news in advance?"

Hilde's rhetorical question made Mina hesitate for a moment, and then she immediately realized the subtext of this sentence, "You mean, PLANT used tens of thousands of adjuster lives to frame the fault? Impossible, you handed over Unit [-] Yes, you should know very well that there is no information about us on it, and besides, Takito was also driving Thunder when he was attacked, so what if he was photographed?"

Mina's answer was logical and clear. Unit [-] couldn't find Orb at all. If he wanted to frame him based on this alone, he could only say that Durandal was suddenly depraved.

However, Hilde shook his head and retorted, "In the original timeline, there were many suspicious things about Requiem's ​​bombardment of PLANT. At that time, PLANT was nominally the strongest in the world, the Atlantic Ocean collapsed, and Eurasia was scattered. Orb is still alive, and Dongya is following behind as his little brother. Under such circumstances, it’s hard to believe that someone like Durandal would ignore the Daedalus Base.”

"There is no evidence and can a person really be so ruthless as to sacrifice his own compatriots?"

As for whether Durandal knew the information about Requiem in advance, in Siegfried's words, 'I saw conspiracy theories flying all over the sky when I saw SEED, how could I know whether it was true or not,' at least in the fateful plot he saw. China has never revealed this.

However, the current timeline has nothing to do with the "Original Destiny Plot". If the original Durandal has not reached the point of being forced to do so, then at this time he finally defeated Aslan. Atlantic Ocean, only to find that he had to face the "Quasi-Human Revolutionary Alliance" combination of East Asia + Orb again. Hilde could not judge whether the speaker who was paranoid about destiny plans would choose to take the wrong approach.

Just when the two women were at a loss what to do, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Gist, who had rarely performed overseas missions since returning from the armory, walked in.

"Sister-in-law, they said you are looking for the head of the department!"

The originally casual and lazy attitude immediately straightened up after discovering that Mina was also there. After all, Mina still carries the title of Minister of Defense, and technically belongs to Gist's immediate superior.

"How is the Psychopath Gundam adapting?"

In fact, it was not that Siegfried suddenly abandoned Gist, but that after the armory robbery incident, Hilde seemed to have clicked the accelerator button. Several projects were progressing rapidly, and the most obvious one was Gist’s spirit. Induction up to MK-Ⅱ.This big guy that was supposed to be completed right now was forced off the production line by Hilde three months early, and then Gist began adaptive training in the dark.

"There are too many reflectors!!! 40! There are 40 reflectors in total. Do you know how many refraction combinations there are? If it weren't for the help of auxiliary AI, this thing would burn your brain once you open it."

"So it's ready for actual combat?"

"No, I didn't say that, nothing practical."

"PLANT has been hit by a nuclear bomb. Mina will declare martial law throughout Orb in an hour at the latest. Chambro has already taken two Grabro to the outer sea. Only you and Takito are left on the island."

"It's completely possible for actual combat, I don't have any problems!"

Siegfried once half-jokingly lamented that his elder sister's charm did not come from her identity as a woman, but that the core of her charm was the all-powerful Sheila A dream. The result of this strong technical attraction is Both Canard and Gist maintained the greatest respect for Hilde.

"Captain Gist-Evans, the Psychic Gundam will be put into combat readiness immediately. You must stay on Yunengqi Island on standby 24 hours a day. Do you understand?"

"As ordered!"

Watching Gist leave, Mina shook her head helplessly and said, "Orb is still too young. The whole world knows that our core institutions are on Yunengqi Island, but there is no other place to put Shuguang Society." If we really want to fight with the National Defense Headquarters and launch a surprise attack there, if we can’t hold on we will lose half of it first.”

"We can't move to South America unless we have no choice. Unless the entire Jabulo base is completed, we still lack a foothold in South America."

"According to the original plan, the Heavenly Pillar, Genesis Alpha, and Jabulo Base should become three supporting points that are interconnected and dependent on each other. Whether it is from our own orbital elevator or from the Panama Spaceport, citizens can be quickly evacuated to A safe place, but now, what is missing is time."

"I asked Yin Shihuan to speed up the movement of Genesis while ensuring safety. It is expected to be back in our hands in about ten days."

"Ten days."

Taking Mina's formal order as the dividing line, if Cagalli's Orb was only in the mood of "preparing for war" before, now Orb has completely entered the rhythm of warming up for war. Chambros directly posted Australia lurked.

After the Dawn Society sent the last batch of military aid to the kingdom, it also suspended all foreign trade. Even Morgan, who had just surrendered, was recruited into the Orb Army by Mina. Everyone is waiting for PLANT to release a casualty report. , along with this report, PLANT will definitely identify the target of revenge. The earth is only so big in total, and the forces that can successfully attack satellites with nuclear bombs can be counted on one hand.

War is imminent.

　The dialogue between Hilde and Mina in this section is full of villain style, but where is the clean country?
