Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 73 Orb (Siegfried who needs to choose)

If he hadn't experienced it personally, it would have been difficult for Siegfried to intuitively feel how much pressure a country inside the Earth's sphere would have to bear when it really faced the coercion of the Atlantic Ocean.

A few days after he returned to Orb with Thunderbolt Gundam, the Atlantic Union immediately issued the "I am the enemy" policy. Regardless of size, as long as they do not join the alliance, they will be regarded as an accomplice of PLANT.

After receiving this news, Uzmi summoned Orb's top management to discuss overnight, and at the same time sent a consultation request to the Atlantic government, but Siegfried clearly knew that the person in charge on the opposite side had been replaced by Azrael, the blue The Cosmos maniac has no room for negotiation.

The entire Orb responded in a very short period of time, and the army began to gather and deploy defenses everywhere, thanks to the information Siegfried brought back from Panama and when he faced Uzmi directly. Under the request of the tone, the civilian evacuation work was finally carried out nearly ten days earlier than before, but considering the population density of Orb, the extra few days were far from enough to evacuate all the citizens.

"Civilian asylum progress is only 54%? What's going on with them? It's been so long in advance, why is the progress just over half?"

In the army headquarters on Yuneng Lu Island, Kajiali, who had already changed into a general uniform, couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the progress of the evacuation. Siegfried's life-saving time was wasted in vain. different from crime.

"Many people don't believe that the Federation is really attacking us, and they still think Orb is a neutral country, and they think that the Atlantic government is just talking about the threat half a month ago."

Qisaka looked at the angry Kajiali, and had to explain the current situation aloud. Although he also felt that there was obviously a big problem with the progress of the evacuation, as the leader was so restless, he had to calm down even more as the deputy. Come down, the entire Orb command system is now watching every move of the two of them, and if Cagalli is so anxious to continue, the morale will almost drop before the battle.

"Where's Siegfried?"

"Master Uzmi told him to pass by, and he should come in a while."

Kajiali knew that now was not the time to be anxious, but she still couldn't control her emotions when things came to an end, but at this time the boy who made her feel at ease was not by her side, but Qisaka told her that he was busy so Can't come, mixed with various emotions such as irritability, grievance, and confusion, Cagalli slammed her fist on the table.

Compared with the scorching atmosphere in the headquarters, the prime minister's mansion was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.Uzmi looked directly at the boy sitting in front of him, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "You knew the result from the moment you stepped on Orb, right?"

"Just a hunch."

"That's why you have been working hard to keep yourself alienated from Aubu?"

"Why don't you talk about Aub's merits that I like? Except for Kagali."

"Oh, it seems that our country is not so useless, right?"

Hearing that Uzmi still had time to laugh out loud, Siegfried couldn't help using the same movement as Kagalli, and punched the table in front of him.

"Lord Uzmi, I didn't come to make detours with you. Now that the joint troops have arrived at the door, I think you should include your own refuge in the plan."

"It seems that the future you predicted is worse than I thought."

"That's enough! I won't play charades with you. Your daughter can't afford to take over such a mess now. It's easy for you to die for your ideals, kindling, and messy beliefs. Have you ever thought about what she will do?"

Yes, as Uzmi said, Siegfried still doesn't like Orb, and he didn't hide his likes and dislikes, but he also doesn't want to watch Uzmi make such a hasty decision to die for his country , it has nothing to do with whether he likes Orb, or even Cagalli.

But at the beginning of the conversation, Siegfried found that what the two wanted to talk about was not the same thing at all. He wanted Uzmi to hurry up and prepare to withdraw together, but apparently they turned the topic to Kagalli after talking face to face. body, which made him feel a sense of aggrieved power and nowhere to use it.

"What I'm talking to you now is the future destiny of this country. Do you think Kajiali has the ability to inherit the philosophy of the Ashar family? Do you have the ability to rebuild Orb and achieve success both ways?"

"No."

"How is it possible? What can you say, please?"

"I said, Cagalli is incapable of completing everything you said."

"You know why don't you hurry up and prepare for the retreat?"

"But you have."

"I have a fart! I'm just a MS pilot, I'm not as good as Kira, I don't even have my own MS, I don't even know where I came from, I'm a fucking product, tell me now I have the ability to help Orb? Uzmi, are you crazy?"

Siegfried couldn't bear Uzmi's calmness any longer, got up, walked around the table and walked directly in front of the former Prime Minister of Orb. Although he couldn't look down at him due to his stature, he had no intention of backing down at all.

"Hurry up and think about the way out, so big Orb, don't say that you didn't leave yourself a way out, if you can't beat it, you can't be ashamed to run, isn't there a pillar of the sky? You can continue to maintain it when the United and PLANT decide the victory. It’s not too late for my own ideas.”

"I don't like Aub, why are you trying to persuade me to leave?"

"I"

"If I take this step back today, even if I come back in the future, will the ideals of this country still be taken seriously?"

"You are too selfish, former representative of Uzmi! The country is not your toy! Those citizens should not sacrifice for your ideas!"

At this point in the conversation, it was already tantamount to the collapse of the conversation. Siegfried couldn't persuade Uzmi to change his ideas at all, and he didn't even know whether Uzmi, who was sitting in front of him at this time, had any sympathy for his behavior. regret.

"Maybe, I'm not a good father, nor a qualified national leader." After all, the stalemate was broken with Uzmi's opening. Up to now, the fact that the combined fleet has stopped at the border cannot be ignored. He didn't let him lower his head, but his regret was nothing more than that. After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the world can't have only two voices. This world can only accommodate natural people or adjust people. , the existence of Orb is to tell the world that not all human beings are willing to succumb to violence!"

"Look at your own strength and dream again!!!! Uzmi-Nara-Ashar!!!!"

Seeing that Siegfried was on the verge of rage, Uzmi got up and put his hands on his trembling shoulders, "Maybe I'm just a stubborn old man in your eyes, a tyrant who insists on dragging the country onto the chariot of war, But boy, I won't regret it, I will stick to Aub until the last moment, that's all I can do for this country!"

"Give me a mobile suit."

"what?"

"I said, give me a mobile suit, that's all I can do."

Looking at Siegfried who is extremely serious, if the alliance is not so tight, then Uzmi will have more time to observe and cultivate this young man full of mysteries. Unfortunately, the world does not allow the existence of "Orb Lion" Going down, now he can only hope that his judgment in a short period of time is not wrong, and at the same time, he also has Kira-Yamato as a backup to prevent the dragon-slaying hero from becoming a dragon.

"Here are two keys, two mobile suits, you choose one."

Uzmi, who had been prepared for a long time, took out two boxes from the drawer. From Siegfried's point of view, the appearance of the boxes themselves was the same, but the names on them seemed to be a little different.

"Siegfried-Nara-Ashar? And Siegfried-Girfies. You.?"

"Just follow your heart, I will not give any advice."

Siegfried is very clear about the meaning of the name on the box, judging from the traces, it is not even newly engraved, but something that has been prepared long ago.Based on his understanding of Orb, one of the boxes is most likely to be the unfinished backpack of Dawn Gundam, and the mobile suit numbered ORB-01, which symbolizes the realization of Orb's idea, was taken out by Uzmi.

As long as he is not stupid, it cannot be obvious which box Lixiao is in, but at the moment when his hand touched the Lixiao box, what Siegfried thought of was not the figure of Kagalli.
"Let's go together, use this, you and me." Mendel's face was indifferent but extremely serious.

"I don't know where to go back, but here, tell me to go back." She was a little cautious in Heliopolis.

"You promised me to go home." For the first time in the Dawn Club, she showed a fragile expression.

And the last picture was in the room of Mia's house. The scene of him hugging Hilde from behind suddenly appeared in his memory, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"I'm sorry Hilde."

"Well, it's fine."

Seeing that the young man in front of him hadn't made a decision, Uzmi could only sigh, and then took back the box with the suffix Asha printed on it, and then put the box engraved with Gilfies in Siegfried's room. hand.

"I"

"Following your own will is the best choice."

The conversation that no third person knew finally came to an end when Siegfried bowed his head in silence. Looking at the back of the boy who was a little lost, Uzmi knew what he had to say.

"Mendel's child, I hope that one day, your feelings for Cagalli will no longer be liking, but love."

The back of the red-haired boy paused slightly, then left the room without giving any answer.

　This chapter needs to be explained. Maybe some people think it’s just a name, why don’t you take Lixiao first?In fact, the box of Lixiao means that Siegfried's marriage is a foregone conclusion. What he takes is Lixiao, but he has to shoulder the responsibility of a country. It has been clearly stated in the chapter of emotional crisis, and Siegfried can't bear it. Orb's burden, or rather, he himself is afraid of that future.

　　The second is his feelings for Kagali. In fact, as Uzmi said, it is a good description to describe friendship above lovers, not to mention that there is Hilde between the two. Brother and sister by blood, but Siegfried felt that he owed Hilde a promise, and he couldn't fully accept Kagalli before it was completed, so Uzmi saw his hesitation, and finally didn't let him take the initiative Hand him the second box.

　　In the end, if someone wants to fight in front of the battle, of course, the priority is to protect the combat power. Please, Lixiao didn't even finish the backpack. Even if Siegfried took it, it would be more symbolic than practical.

　　It would be nice if the last part could be made into an animation
