In fact, there is not much to elaborate or defend about Noel’s military trial.

After all, Noel Cassia intervened in other countries' wars at will, provoked wars and interfered in wars for his own selfish interests. These are already solid statements.

The difference is just to determine whether he is an accessory or a principal offender.

Did he use the chaos of the clan to provoke the war, or did he initiate the war on his own initiative?

There seems to be no difference, but now that the main responsibility for the South American battlefield has been placed on the clan, this difference has become the key to determining whether Noel can survive.

But it is precisely because this matter is difficult to determine.

The military trial regarding Noel Cassia did not result in the first time.

In order to ensure fairness and justice, the final verdict regarding Noel Cassia will be announced to the world on November 28, CE.72.

However, in the early morning of November 27, CE.

Something happened on Earth that was enough to interfere with and affect the trial of the case. It could even be said to be something that was enough to affect the pattern of all mankind.

The Eurasian Federation is in chaos.

A real mess.

Astana in the Eurasian Federation was forcibly captured by armed rebels. The rebel leader Moore Mortima publicly declared independence and formed the United Kirstan.

There was no waiting for the Eurasian Federation to send troops to eliminate this arrogant force.

The two cities of Kip and Minsk successively declared armed independence and established a force called Soviet Union.

If the above is still within the controllable range of the Eurasian Federation, then the subsequent independent integration of the Yekaterian armed forces into the Kirstan Federation will become the last blockbuster that will cause the collapse of Eurasia.

Yekatye is different from the above three locations. It has the largest heavy industry production base and ma production line in the Eurasian Federation.

Even part of the Eurasian Federation's single-phase light wave shielding system production line is in Yekatye.

In the blink of an eye, one of the world's three largest economies and the second largest political body after the Atlantic Federation was on the verge of disintegration.

Under this circumstance, Noel Cassia's trial suddenly became insignificant.

The members of the Eurasian Federation delegation did not even have time to wait for the answer to the trial, and hurriedly left the plant and went to the Eurasian Federation's lunar base.

The two cities of Kip and Minsk are only a few hundred kilometers away from Brussels, the capital of the Eurasian Federation.

If the rebels accidentally attack the capital, the Eurasian Federation will be really hopeless.

The delegation from the United States of Scandina also left in a hurry.

The Atlantic Federation delegation did not have too many emotions, but they became inexplicably easy to talk to.

that's all.

In the context of a large-scale armed rebellion in the Eurasian Federation, the time has come for the judgment of Noel Cassia.

【All rise! 】

[Announcement on Noel Cassia, a member of Zaft Cassia's squad, about provoking a battlefield in South America. 】

[The verdict is as follows:]

[1: Eliminate the status of Noel Kasia Zaft soldier. 】

[Two: Deprive Noel Cassia of the rank of commander of the White Fleet and its related rights and interests. 】

[Three: Retain the civil rights of Noel Cassia plant. 】

【Four:······】

As the judgment orders came down one after another.

The trial of Noel Cassia is over.

Overall - intriguing.

As the announcement ended, four soldiers came to the front of Noel, raised their hands in salute, and opened the fence of the dock.

"Thank you, but don't salute next time."

After speaking, Noel nodded and smiled at the soldier, then turned and walked in the direction of Yitzhak and others.

"You kid can still laugh?"

Yitzhak looked at Noel's smiling face and felt very angry.

"Shouldn't you be happy that you're not dead?"

Noel asked with a smile on his face.

Yitzhak was speechless. How should I answer this?

It can’t be said that after losing you, Baiyi, I have no competitive goals.

"Let's go, I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight."

Noel patted Yitzhak on the shoulder and led the way towards the court door.

Walk out the door.

What comes into view are countless microphones and cameras.

"Captain Noel, what do you think of this trial?"

"Captain Noel, do you regret your actions now?"

"Captain Noel..."

Behind almost every microphone there is a question.

If it weren't for Yitzhak wearing white clothes, these reporters would have knocked Yitzhak and the others away.

"It doesn't matter what my opinion is, what matters is that I'm still alive and a citizen of Plant."

Noel answered the question casually, pushed his way through the crowd with both hands and walked towards the parked vehicles on the roadside.

"Is Captain Noel in front!?"

Suddenly, just as Noel was about to leave, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Um?"

Noel stopped and looked over when he heard the sound. What the hell is this problem?

"Please give this to Captain Noel."

"For Captain Noel?"

"For Captain Noel."

In Noel's stunned eyes, a carefully arranged white bouquet was passed one by one from the periphery of the crowd to his eyes.

Looking at the bouquet in front of him, Noel reached out and took it.

Subconsciously, he looked across the gradually separating crowd towards a girl standing next to the woman.

The girl was a little shy because of the crowd's attention.

But the twinkling light in those pure eyes made Noel unforgettable.

Under Noel's gaze, the red-faced girl raised her palm, and a less-than-standard ZAFT military salute was imprinted in Noel's heart.

ce.December 1, 1972.

Earth, Mediterranean -

The clear sea water reflects the sunlight bit by bit, making the sea surface shine with blue light.

A black and red battleship moved slowly forward in the vast ocean.

The white seagulls crossed the blue sea and flew towards the light in the distance.

Kira and the soldiers, wearing Earth Alliance uniforms, stood on the plywood and experienced the tranquility before the war.

Yes, the tranquility before the war.

Because armed independence broke out in the Eurasian Federation, the Lord Angel, as the representative of peace on earth, will go to the battlefield to mediate.

Of course, it is not so much mediation as suppression, or...

"What the hell am I doing..."

Looking at the white birds flying across the sea in the distance, Kira suddenly felt very tired.

In a daze, it seemed that since he boarded the Archangel, he had been fighting, fighting, fighting——

From the space war to the desert, from the desert to the ocean, from the ocean to the universe, and then back to the earth——

Heliopolis, Artemis, low-orbit battle, South African battlefield, Indian Ocean death battle, Alaska battlefield, Orb offensive and defensive battle, L4 space escape battle, Boyaz battlefield, Yakinduwe battle, South American battlefield, East Asia battlefield, Thirteenth dense forest battlefield——

In less than two years, Kira never seemed to stop fighting.

Obviously I hate fighting and war so much, but I have experienced 90% of the battlefields between natural people and adjusters, either forced or voluntarily.

I am obviously fighting for peace and fighting to stop the war, but why do wars keep appearing as if they will never stop?

Kira couldn't help but start to wonder if everything she did really meant something.

He is not a person who likes to doubt and hesitate, but everything that has happened recently has made it impossible for him to maintain peace of mind.

From the South American battlefield of local wars, to the Thirteenth Jungle battlefield that attracted the world's attention, and now to the armed independence of the Eurasian Federation.

The meaning of my fighting is for peace and justice, but why after so long and after so much effort, the war still exists and becomes more and more intense.

"Kira?"

Just when Kira fell into self-doubt again, Fleur and Colonel Bucky Lulu came over at some point.

"Flea?"

Kira turned to look at Fleur.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Fleur looked at the tired Kira and felt inexplicably confused.

"nothing."

Kira shook his head and said nothing more.

Fleur was not a suitable person to talk to.

She is not like Lux, who is strong and stubborn, and Lux ​​will not let any external emotions affect her ideas.

But Fleur couldn't do this.

Although she has been making progress and changing, her character and experience have destined her to never become the same person as Lux.

Of course, this does not mean that Fleur is inferior to Lux.

Compared to Pilacus, Fleur is more humane.

Lux is a distant, dazzling star that cannot be touched. Especially after the recent encounter, Kira has begun to lose sight of Lux's face.

"I--"

"Miss Fleur."

Just when Fleur was about to say something, a soldier's voice suddenly came from behind, saying: "I have your emergency communication."

"I see."

Fleur nodded and said to Kira: "Then I will come to you later."

After saying that, he nodded to Colonel Buckilulu, then turned and walked towards the inside of the battleship.

"Miss Natal, I have a question for you."

His eyes retracted as Fleur disappeared, and Kira turned to look at Natal Bakirulu.

He wants to find his own meaning in fighting.

Although he had found it, it was not enough. He had to make himself no longer doubtful.

"what is the problem?"

Natal asked rhetorically.

"What's the point of your fight?"

Kira asked directly for the answer he wanted to know without any foreshadowing.

He had his own 'justice', but it was not enough.

He needs a reason to carry out his own justice.

And for this reason, Fleur couldn't satisfy him.

"What's the point of my fight?"

Natal Bakirulu was stunned, this question——

"Yeah." Kira nodded.

"It should be peaceful now."

Although Natal Bakirulu was a little strange, she still answered Kira's question.

"should?"

Kira was stunned, could he use the word "should"?

"Well, I should. Actually, I don't know what I'm fighting for now."

Natal said with a smile: "Isn't it ironic? A soldier who has been fighting for so long can't determine the meaning of his battle."

Kira didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer, because he was the same way.

"Actually, the meaning of battle is not so grand."

Natal probably knew why Kira asked this question. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Everyone is selfish, and so is our so-called justice and peace."

"There is no absolute justice and peace in the world, the difference just depends on where you stand."

In fact, Kira's hesitation was largely because he had not determined his true position.

Even for Lux, she initially looked for peace from the perspective of a plant.

Don't say anything for the sake of all mankind.

If it is really for the sake of mankind, it should be absolutely fair and not partial or partial.

But the reality is that no one can do this.

"position?"

Kira was speechless for a moment.

"What are your criteria for judging justice and fairness?"

Natal Bakilulu continued to ask.

Kira was speechless for a moment, the criteria for judging——

"Just like Eurasia now, who do you think should be helped?"

Natal Bakirulu continued to ask: "Is it the Eurasian Federation that has failed to fulfill its obligations as a ruler, or are it the common people who are fighting for their own interests?"

Kira opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

"Is it difficult to tell the difference?"

Natal Bakki smiled and said: "If you help civilians who fight for their own interests, you will harm the interests of the Eurasian Federation and split the originally peaceful world."

"By helping the Eurasian federal government, you are harming the interests of those who are resisting."

"Whether it is for the so-called peace of mankind or for anything else, you will hurt one of the parties. If you choose to fight both sides together, it means that you become the enemy of both sides and become someone who satisfies your own ideals and harms the interests of others. "

"No matter which one you choose, you will be the enemy of your enemy, and you will always have hesitation."

"Peace is the same, but justice is relative."

"You have to determine your position, the adjusters and the natural people, the rebels and ordinary people within Eurasia, and the armed forces of the Eurasian authorities--"

“Whose righteousness do you want to be, who do you want to be righteous for!”

"Are the rebels at fault? From their perspective, they are not at fault because their justice has not been served and the country has not fulfilled its due obligations and responsibilities."

“Are the Eurasian authorities at fault?”

"There are indeed bugs and garbage among them, but their flaws cannot be concealed. Many of them are actually working hard for the benefit of the people."

"So what you need is not a reason to fight, but the position you are in and the position you want in your heart."

Natal Bakirulu is actually in a state of hesitation and self-doubt.

She is a soldier, a pure soldier.

But she lost her 'soldier' ​​identity.

Fortunately, although she lost her identity as an Atlantic Federation soldier, she gained her status as a United Earth soldier.

And she knows very well what soldiers should do and what their responsibilities are.

In fact, third-party forces like Lux will have this problem.

Peace is very clearly defined.

But compared with the definition of peace, the definition of justice becomes extremely vague.

In ethics, justice usually refers to what people should do according to certain moral standards, and it also refers to a kind of moral evaluation, that is, fairness.

People from different societies or classes have different interpretations of "justice".

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato believed that justice is when people do what they should do according to their own rank;

Christian ethicists believe that it is justice that the body should submit to the soul.

Overall, most opinions believe that fairness is justice, but such a thing as fairness has not appeared since the birth of the world.

Therefore, justice is vague. There is no absolute definition standard, only a rough definition standard.

If you are an ordinary person, right and wrong are justice.

But for Kira and the others, the definition of right and wrong has become blurry.

This is also the reason why Lux does not appear until the middle and late stages of the war in the original work, but even Lux cannot determine the real right or wrong.

That's why there was a scene where both sides of Kira were fighting together.

------Digression-----

Why does it feel so difficult to write.
