On the surface, the SEED world seems to have no large-scale war conflicts, but the small-scale chaos has continued after the war to the present level. There are traces of the Phantom Pain meddling behind the scenes on the earth and the universe, and the hired
The existence of the army also developed to an extremely prosperous level after the war.
Countless people who defected from the United Earth and many who defected from ZAFT began to plunder everywhere in the universe and the earth, and the small countries affected by the war were also struggling hard to return to the way they were before the war began.
Under this circumstance, the Celestial Team operation began, and Durandal also became the new speaker of PLANT, and then...
PLANT, Durandal was officially sworn in as the Speaker of PLANT in the presence of countless reporters and PLANT citizens. When the newsmen started to speak and ask questions, each question hit Durandal like a machine gun firing bullets.
on the face.
"Speaker Durandal, first of all, congratulations on becoming the Speaker of PLANT. I would like to ask you a question. Now a mysterious force suddenly appeared on the earth. It has a very powerful mobile suit named Gundam. After a period of research, many people have discovered that
These mysterious Gundams often appear in situations of armed conflict."
"Whether it is the regular army, mercenaries, warlords or armed terrorist organizations, they are all targets. It seems that they have been committed to maintaining post-war peace and regard all forces that take the initiative to start disputes as their enemies. Between Dilan and the previous
Speaker Dahl has also had a history of preventing the battle between ZAFT and the United Earth. I want to know if you know about this inexplicable force of Speaker Durandal, if it has anything to do with ZAFT, and if it has anything to do with you, the Speaker."
Durandal is embarrassed, this question is really difficult to answer, but Durandal is very knowledgeable, smiled and shook his head gently: "I have heard about what you said about these mysterious MS, and I am also surprised that they have appeared in the world.
I have created such an armed force, but unfortunately these machines have nothing to do with me."
"Now that peace has finally been restored, any force that continues to use weapons to create conflicts is abhorrent. It is still wrong to use violence to prevent violence, because they are likely to break the hard-won peace. The wars in the past have already brought about
Too many sacrifices. Although I don’t know who these people are, I also want to say a word to them. Please stop what you are doing. This is not right. Your existence and actions are likely to become the next war.
The trigger.”
"In fact, I have received a letter from the United Nations. Next, we will have a meeting to discuss this inexplicable armed force. When we have specific results, we will naturally announce them to the public. Do you have any other questions?
"
Someone immediately yelled below: "Speaker Durandal, you said they have nothing to do with you, but aren't there only a few forces that can create such powerful mobile suits? PLANT, United, Orb and the independent military industrial enterprise Ark
Taion.”
Durandal smiled warmly and looked at the reporter: "Everyone knows that MS was first developed by PLANT, and then Orb also had the ability to develop MS. Finally, it was the United Earth, but few people know that it has the ability."
There are now many national institutions developing MS."
"Among these, since we, PLANT, are not doing such meaningless things that may provoke conflicts again, the biggest loss seems to be the alliance. Actaeon, as an independent military industrial enterprise, has not done these things.
Necessary because they can't benefit from it, so after thinking about it, it seems that only Orb is capable of doing this kind of thing, but what can Orb get from it? Peace or war?"
Durandal also laughed as he spoke: "But that's Orb. As we all know, the country least likely to do such a thing is Orb, right? Their ideas and persistence can still make everyone
People admire.”
Durandal continued: "Anyone may have created that machine, but I can't say anything right now, but if I know the details, we will definitely announce them to the public."
Someone else asked: "Speaker Durandal, you also left PLANT and Lacus Klein also left PLANT. Why can you become the Speaker now and Lacus Klein is still charged with treason?"
Durandal glanced at the reporter and said: "So the first thing I did when I became the Speaker was to cancel the treason charge of Lacus Klein, so from now on Miss Lacus Klein can be greatly improved in the future.
Fangfang appears anywhere in PLANT."
The reporter was stunned for a moment and quickly said loudly: "That's not what I meant."
Durandal smiled slightly and gestured to the person next to him, who immediately shouted: "Next!"
After all the sessions were over, Durandal left the venue and sat in a car, with a slightly tired look on his face.
"Speaker Durandal, congratulations."
"Miss Lux." Durandal rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "What is that person doing again? An armed force that is beyond common sense even has the ability to fight against a fleet with several aircraft. To release such a force outside
This is not in line with our initial expectations and plans."
"I don't know the reason for doing this." Lux looked at Durandal, who was also sitting in the back seat, and said with a smile: "But he is trustworthy, and there must be his reasons and arrangements for doing this."
Durandal smiled helplessly and had deep doubts about this: "Is there really any arrangement instead of a temporary decision? What I am most worried about now is that everything will be out of control in the future."
"I believe him." Lux answered decisively, and said: "The team conducting the operation now has enough experience to deal with everything, and it is under control. Speaker Durandal is worrying too much."
Durandal shook his head and said: "Then the technical department will need Miss Lux to arrange for someone to take over."
"I will arrange it." Lux nodded slightly and looked at the scenery that was passing behind, and said: "We must control ZAFT, select the right people and give them the most confidential tasks.
Send it to the library, the available combat power there is still too small, and Orb has no way of independently operating such a large situation."
Durandal groaned: "A small amount of short-term support is okay, but long-term operational support will provide all-round assistance in terms of technical personnel and materials, and the resistance from the parliament will be considerable."
Lux looked at Durandal and smiled slightly: "Speaker Durandal, you have the ability to solve all this. This is not a family matter but a matter of the safety of all mankind. To take a step back, Orb has Xiao Yun, but we can't do anything.
No, there is no other choice but to join in firmly. If there is a price to be paid, it is what must be paid for the future of our humanity."
"Heh." Durandal took a deep look at Lacus, smiled slightly and nodded: "Miss Lacus, you impressed me again. I will take care of the things here. The first batch of aid supplies and equipment has three people."
You can leave within a few days.”
"Thank you, Speaker Durandal." After Lux finished speaking, perhaps thinking of something else, she said to Durandal: "If we want everyone to reach a consensus without any grudges in the future, Atlantic Federation, Blue Cosmos and LOGOS are all
They have to disappear, that's what he thinks."
Durandal murmured: "The war... will start again..."
Lux nodded: "But it may be limited to a certain range."
Durandal said: "No matter what the situation, Zaft and PLANT can no longer be implicated. I know what to do next. Thank you for reminding Miss Lux."
Durandal became the Speaker, while Lux continued to maintain a low profile and jointly led the changes in PLANT. When Durandal became the Speaker, the first batch of formal support departed from PLANT and went to the library base.
It included two standard-configuration battleships, fifty technicians and an additional twenty carefully selected pilots. They set off with several transport ships filled with various supplies and equipment, led by two white-coated
After a period of sailing, we arrived at the designated place.
Itzhak Jiuer, who was dressed in white, looked at the empty universe around him in the bridge and was a little confused. He signaled his subordinates to open the communication connection and boarded another ship. After the other party's female captain appeared wearing a hat and also dressed in white.
He asked: "Captain Gladys, this is the right place, why didn't I see the response staff?"
"Yitzhak." Diego in black floated over and pointed forward: "Send the letter first and identify the code. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if you continue to do nothing."
"What do you know?"
Yitzhak glanced at Diego, and Captain Thalia Gladys, the blond-haired captain in the communication, also said: "Captain Jiuer, you should pay more attention to the mission briefing and arrive at the reserved location.
Previously, a secret identification code would need to be sent in advance over an encrypted channel."
"I know, these things have been done just now." Yitzhak frowned and said: "But why is there no reply at all? Is it possible that the person responding has encountered some danger? I suggest sending the MS unit to investigate."
"No, never!" Diego was startled and said quickly: "Honestly, don't do anything!"
Yitzhak grabbed Diego's arm and said in a deep voice: "What do you know about Diego?"
Diego shook his head: "You will know after a while."
While they were talking, the bridge staff suddenly noticed a situation ahead and immediately reported loudly: "Captain, Captain, there is a situation ahead!"
As soon as Yitzhak turned his head, he saw a cosmic fortress slowly appearing out of thin air. The outside was almost entirely covered with hard steel. Only a small part of it still retained the shell of the meteorite. To say that this cosmic fortress was not particularly big, but
It is slightly larger than the Artemis Fortress of the Eurasian Federation, and there is no problem at all in accommodating several battleships.
"What is this!? Mirage system!?" Yitzhak showed a surprised expression: "When was this fortress established?"
Diego shook his head: "It's very early."
"There is a communication request."
"Get in." Yitzhak shook off Diego and went to the front. Captain Thalia on the other side also connected to the communication, and a purple-haired boy wearing glasses appeared on the communication screen.
"Captain Itzhak Jur, Captain Talia Gladys, welcome you. I am the manager of this base, Regeni Rejeta. Please follow the instructions and slowly enter the fortress. We have prepared
You have prepared a welcome ceremony and I will personally take you to visit the entire base later."
"learn."
"clear."
The communication was interrupted, and Yitzhak looked at Diego: "How do you know about this base?"
"Because I've been here before." Diego was a little helpless, shrugged and said: "Anyway, don't be surprised by anything you encounter or see. This base is very special, very, very special."
Yitzhak was a little dissatisfied: "Don't be so secretive with me, just tell me what you have to say."
Diego looked at Yitzhak, curled his lips and said: "I didn't expect that I would be sent here together. This base does not belong to ZAFT but to Orb. Aslan also comes here often.
, by the way, Nigel also knows."
Yitzhak's eyes widened and he cursed in disbelief: "Asshole, you even hid such a thing from me? Orb's base, why does Orb's base want us to come and station here!?"
"We are soldiers. Of course we can't say anything that is forbidden by the higher authorities. Since you are not an insider, I definitely can't tell you." Diego spread his hands with an innocent look on his face and said, "Although Orb is in charge of this base,
But the security issues involved will not only affect Orb, but also Orb’s technical strength is strong but he has few people and resources, so we need our assistance.”
"In short, if this place is very important, if something happens, we people must nip the threat in the cradle even if we die, but there is no need to worry, at least there will be no problem in a short time."
The communication with Thalia's ship has not been disconnected. Thalia frowned slightly and thought of what Durandal said to her when he 'communicated' with him before departure.
"It is a very special base. People from many different forces gather there to develop new technologies. However, the base does not belong to us but to Orb. But Orb has now deployed most of the forces that can be deployed there. In the universe, without arousing curiosity from the outside world, we can only deploy sufficient defense forces there as much as possible, and there is a lack of suitable warships for defense."
"If possible, I would even like to transfer the entire ZAFT to that place and station them there, but there is no such possibility, at least not now, so I can only send my most trusted person there, Tali. Ya, the situation over there is very special and dangerous, you must protect that base to prevent any problems, and you must obey the instructions of the person in charge there."
Thalia pulled the sheets to cover her chest and sat up: "Why do we have to protect an Orb base? And we have to listen to their orders?"
"That involves the biggest secret in the world today. A doorway from another world to this world was opened at that place. Many people speculate that one day in the future that door will be opened again."
"Stop joking, Durandal."
Durandal wanted to be serious, but he couldn't be serious about this situation, so he could only hold Thalia in his arms: "Talia, I'm not joking with you. I can rely on Clay to become the Speaker." The Yin faction supports me from behind, relying on the full assistance of Lux Klein, and also relying on the help of Orb's mysterious Prime Minister Shizhen Xiaoyun, who kidnapped me in the first place."
"Do you know why Cruze suddenly defected with the machine? It's because of this reason, because the existence and safety of that door are above all else, and it also disrupted many of the plans they made from the beginning, otherwise he would be sitting in the position of Speaker now It should be Cruze, not me. Patrick will still die, but Cruze will become the real PLANT hero. The Atlantic Federation should have been disintegrated by this time."
"But just when all the preparations were about to be completed, the door suddenly appeared, so I had to give up the original plan and let me take over. You have to remember that although I am now the speaker of PLANT, I have always been theirs. One of them, and if you meet Zhen Xiaoyun, you must be careful."
Thalia's face was a little shocked, but she didn't understand: "Be careful? He is dangerous?"
"No, he is not dangerous, he is very dangerous, especially for people like me and Kruse, but don't provoke him... That person... is very narrow-minded and dares to do anything without any bottom line or shame. In short, just treat him as a true leader."
