Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

Everything changed so fast that the Orb battleship formation that came not far away to greet Cagalli didn't even react. Originally, when the two sides were evenly matched, the fleet commander was still thinking about how to act as a middleman to mediate. If not, he would let them take the princess away before the two sides continued to fight.

As a result, before any new orders were sent from the mainland, within a few minutes the entire situation had become the current state of affairs. However, unlike the original situation where the Archangel was driven to the Orb border while fighting and fleeing like a bereaved dog, due to Siegfried's intervention, even if ZAFT added a Sigu, the Archangel's route has never seen any big changes. After changing the route, the three parties were still quite far away from the Orb coastline.

"Easy, everyone calm down. In this situation, why not discuss a way to deal with it that is good for both of us."

Siegfried was originally only thinking about using a duel to prove Hilde's mistake, but after hearing Milly's plea for help, he immediately reacted and captured Sigu. After he saw the situation clearly, his anxious heart instantly calmed down. Come down.

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

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

After a while, Aslan probably persuaded Yitzhak, and the duel stopped. After separating from the attack, Holy Shield stepped on Gru and stopped in front of Gespenst.

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

"This has nothing to do with the current situation. Why don't you tell me what you think."

Originally, in Siegfried's memory, Aslan seemed to be a particularly easy-to-talk character. Who knew that when he first came into contact with him, his ruthless energy completely overturned Siegfried's impression.

"This, um, lady? It seems that she is 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 option. There are at least hundreds of people on our battleship. If it were you, what would you choose?"

The duel seemed to want to move forward after hearing Aslan's reply, but was stopped by the storm around them. Siegfried sighed that the other party was worthy of being the second generation of the Sarah family. This kind of negotiation ability could be seen through the system. nourish.

The current situation is indeed unfavorable to the Archangel. The number of hostages targeted by Xunlei is a hundred times the number of hostages in Gespenst's hands. It is not incomprehensible for ZAFT to be ruthless and ignore it. The only thing Siegfried can rely on is Sigu and Gespenst. The strange linkage between the duels, and the fact that Aslan is not a ruthless ZAFT soldier after all, he will definitely consider Yitzhak's feelings.

"Everyone takes a step back. Next to us is the Orb fleet. I believe you know that they are neutral countries. Let me express my sincerity first. Orb is here to pick up some of the refugees we are hosting in Heliopolis. If you think it is okay If so, I think we can let Orb act as a neutral country and let them hand over the hostages."

There was another moment of 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 the neutral countries themselves also assume part of the mediation responsibilities, so this suggestion is also a relatively feasible solution for ZAFT.

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

"In principle, there is no problem, but how can I trust your credibility?"

"Lux has sent it 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 be verbally quick.

Of course the Orb fleet not far away knew that their princess was still under ZAFT's gunfire, so after Siegfried and Aslan's proposals came at the same time, the leader of the fleet agreed to play the role of mediator after communicating with the Prime Minister's Office. .

"Enter Orb in the name of mediation?"

The bridge of the Archangel was pointed at the bridge of the Thunderbolt's black hole for a long time. Malu received a note from the Ob side, and it was signed as Uzmi Nala Asha.

"At present, it seems that the hostage handover must go to Orb's mainland, and then they will be handed over to PLANT. This is the promise given by Uzmi, and it is also the exchange method recognized by the other party."

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 that thing has been attacked. The idea of ​​"sinking the United Battleship" is simply nonsense. The Orb Lion has long been eyeing the combat data of this cutting-edge battleship and the Strike Gundam, which were jointly manufactured by Dawn Society.

According to the standard of 'the fleet is the mobile territory of the country', both sides can complete the hostage handover on the Orb fleet and agree on a truce time under the supervision of the Orb side. Aslan is not the pervert of Kruse and agreed to the truce. The time will also be adhered to.

But now, even though Uzmi himself is not present, he can keenly sense 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. It seemed to have fulfilled the obligations of a neutral country, but in fact it was more than a hundred times smarter than simply saying that it had sunk the Archangel with open eyes. It did not cause any trouble between the Earth United and PLANT. Under the premise of being disgusted, you can get first-hand data. He is worthy of being a character who has been trained to survive in the cracks.

"I know this is the only feasible way at the moment. But Natal?"

Although Ma Liu had been growing rapidly along the way, this was the first time he encountered such a life-and-death situation, so he still looked at his deputy for help.

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

After receiving the endorsement of a country's prime minister, Xunlei finally removed the beam rifle that was weighing on Malu and others. Since the Orb fleet did not have the ability to accommodate mobile suits, Gespenst needed to bring the broken Xigu Xianxian back to the Archangel. Gnaku, and then handed the driver to Orb accompanied by Bakirulu.

After returning to Gnaku, Siegfried came out of the cockpit and found that the Ginn that followed him from the universe to the earth had completely turned into a pile of scrap metal. The original battle near the atmosphere had caused considerable damage to the aircraft, and then the battle in the desert became a nightmare for the maintenance team. Now under Thunder's attack, there is no possibility of repair.

"Yo!"

Regret sat on the pile of 'ruins' and greeted Siegfried with some melancholy. He did not feel that it was incomprehensible for the Sky Overlord to abandon him at that time. In terms of combat experience, he is only a little less experienced than Mu on this ship, so he fully understands that this kind of plan to seek a local tactical breakthrough will inevitably involve someone taking some risks, and now that he is back alive, there is no reason to blame anyone. .

"Good luck."

"Yeah, good luck, I just hope there won't be a next time."

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

"You still refuse to come out over there?"

Siegfried raised his chin towards Sigu. Originally, the Archangel did not want to complete the matter. After all, it had agreed to accept Orb's coordination. As a result, the pilot of Xigu refused to come out of the cockpit and locked it from the inside. The angry Marduk had already brought the decoder and prepared to forcefully open the hatch.

"He's quite grumpy."

"It seemed to be a girl. Then I heard the driver's voice."

"Then we need to take a closer look. As far as I know, there are very few female ZAFT pilots. I know a few of them."

As for Siegfried, he thanked the 'unknown' pilot from the bottom of his heart. In the previous battle, it could be said that it was because of his choice that the Archangel was in danger of being shot down. If not This Sigu forcefully resisted the duel. Once the Gespenst shot down Yitzhak, the next second Thunder would pierce the bridge of the Archangel with lances and darts. From then on, there would be an endless battle between the remaining mobile suits. .

While working in Marduk, Mu Ye came to the two of them. As the temporary commander of the MS unit, he was also full of curiosity about the Xigu. After all, the muzzle of Xunlei just now almost killed this experienced veteran. Cardiac arrest.

"Sorry. Major"

"Your choice at that time was not wrong. The idea of ​​using the shortest time to gain a local advantage was right. Besides, if there was a mistake, as the commander, I am the first person responsible."

Patting Siegfried on the shoulder, Mu didn't think there was anything wrong with his tactical choice. In fact, Xunlei's move of leaving the GPU behind and forcibly opening the mirage was a big risk. Once it was hit by a stray bullet from CIWS, It's another ending.

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

As a few people chatted, Xigu's cockpit was finally forcibly opened. Faced with such an uncooperative prisoner, Baji 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 gazes 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 in front of her who was also a ZAFT soldier 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 waved his hand. The joint soldiers holding guns behind him had already taken a shooting posture. Faced with this pressure, the female driver had to take off her helmet.

"So young."*2

Looking at the faces under the helmets, Siegfried and Mu sighed in unison.

"Shiho. Are you Shiho?"

Regret seemed to have fulfilled his previous promise of 'getting to know every female driver'. Looking at the figure in front of him, he shouted in disbelief.
