at dusk--
"I really...can't stand you, why would you come to a place like this?"
Thalia shouted in annoyance.
Durandal, who was leaning on the handrail of the terrace, immediately laughed out loud: "Haha, were you shocked?"
He turned his head, with a rare look of mischief on his face.
Thalia's love for him warmed in her chest at the sight of that smile.
Subconsciously, she could only respond with a helpless smile: "Yeah, of course I was shocked - but forget it, it's not the first time I've been scared."
She knew that Durandal was in such a good mood, not just because he could see her in Deokia's ZAFT base.
Durandal was staying at the National Army Guest House here, and he was not the only one who was called here to see him.
But even so - well, I really can't get off the pirate ship.
"You look very good. I'm so happy to hear that you performed well."
Durandal came over and said to Ray Za Barel who was standing next to Thalia, his voice was extremely warm.
Lei usually had no expression at all, but now he suddenly showed a childish smile, as if he was flattered.
"Gilbut..."
"We haven't had a good gathering like this for a long time."
The tall Durandal leaned over slightly, and Lei wrapped his arms around his neck like a child. Durandal also hugged him hard.
At this moment, Lei's face looked extremely peaceful.
Thalia looked at Durandal's face with a father-like expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the three of them sat down at the coffee table on the terrace.
"Is there any movement in the Atlantic Federation?"
As soon as Thalia sat down, she asked Durandal beside her: "Otherwise, I don't think you would show up here specifically, right?"
Let the past joys and sorrows pass, and she tried her best to return to reality.
"Um?"
Looking at the tea poured in front of him, Durandal smiled lightly: "Is that so? - I mean, everyone really has this association?"
This person's tone of voice is still very difficult to use.
Thalia sighed deliberately in front of him, and suddenly heard a voice from the entrance.
"Report."
Heine, wearing a red uniform with a faith medal on his collar, appeared on the terrace: "I have brought the Minerva combat pilots you want to summon."
Behind Heine, Luna Maria Kazuma was nervous and a little frightened.
Rika Sita, Malie Strau, and Michal Koster are relatively stable, but also a little nervous.
It is worth mentioning that Michal Koster was also a member of the Noel team, and the white-painted Fire Tiger 2000 belonged to him.
Noel and Aslan didn't have much emotional fluctuations, especially Noel, who raised his hand towards Durandal carelessly: "Long time no see, Mr. Speaker."
"Eh?"
"Um?"
Zhen and Luna looked stunned, confused by Noel's voice.
Aslan's movement when he was about to raise his hand to salute froze, and he shook his head helplessly. Sometimes Noel really didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing the reactions of everyone in front of her, Thalia narrowed her eyes unconsciously, and couldn't help but look at Durandal with amusement.
She seemed to have guessed something.
When Durandal met everyone.
In an underground manor somewhere, a meeting was also taking place at this time.
"What the hell are you doing!"
The closed air trembled with roars.
Lodo Jibril knocked on his desk roughly and stared at the man on the screen.
"You should know it very well!"
Listening to Jibril's roars and questions, the Atlantic Federation President Joseph Copeland on the screen looked extremely unhappy.
But he could only be unhappy, and he couldn't afford to offend Jibril or Jibril's backstage.
"The preparations for the plan were not even completed when the accident happened. We forced the war as you requested despite suffering such heavy casualties. As a result, all our attacks were avoided, and we exhausted all our means in a few seconds. ”
Indeed, needless to say, Jibril himself knew that the Atlantic Federation was not entirely to blame.
But seeing the other person's "all the responsibility is yours" attitude made Jibril very angry.
If you can't raise any decent objections, just obey them honestly.
The result is that he waited until after the work was done to comment on it later. It is simply the best example of incompetence. How did this kind of garbage get into this position... Maybe it is because he is such garbage that he can achieve this position.
"Now people are jumping up and resisting everywhere, so it is inevitable that the alliance formed through pressure will begin to collapse!"
After talking for a long time, this man simply put his own incompetence aside and passed the responsibility onto others!
Jibril stared at him and said word by word: "That's not what I want to hear! What I'm asking about is the countermeasures! Faced with this situation, what did you do!?"
As soon as these words came out, Joseph Copeland on the other end of the communication channel had a bitter look on his face.
Jibril continued to pursue: "You shouted to knock down the adjusters, destroy the adjusters, you shouted so loudly, and now you want to stop the war?"
"Is not likely to……"
Copeland quickly denied it.
After hearing this, Jibril pretended to sigh loudly and said: "Why do you still don't understand? The weak will eventually rely on the strong! The winner is justice! Have you forgotten such a simple rule? Mr. President!"
In fact, for those of them who have reached a certain high position, there are often only two types of people in the world in their eyes.
The useful and the useless.
The winner is the loser.
The strong and the weak.
The dead and the living.
The definition of human beings will only become simpler and simpler for them.
Without feelings or bonds, all things and life are just tools to achieve a certain purpose.
This is not to say that everyone who has reached this position is like this, but only those who have achieved this can reach this position.
This is why many people feel that they have forgotten a lot of things when they reach certain positions. It is not that they have forgotten, but because the world in their eyes has changed.
People in different positions see the world completely differently, and even the definition of life and the collective human being is abstract.
Jibril continued to curse angrily: "It's because we didn't show our strength that others dared to rise up and resist! Now you know the problem, start from this point quickly. There are not all turmoils like the one on the west side of Eurasia. It’s only because you have been acquiescing that it’s getting worse and worse, and it’s happening everywhere!”
"But our situation is also very tight!"
To be honest, Jibril was also very anxious at the moment.
Since the Battle of Yakinduvi caused them to lose their then alliance leader, the power of Blue Universe has plummeted and has worsened all the way.
The ability to rebuild the organizational structure and regain the right to speak that can convince the coalition leaders is all due to Jibril, who succeeded the alliance leader.
He is fine now, but after making a wrong decision, he was looked down upon by Joseph Copeland and others. Could it be that the status he had established was going to be lost again?
This kind of thing will never happen to Jibril.
Listening to Jibril's roar, Joseph Copeland was equally indignant: "Now the combat power is limited, coupled with personnel problems... Besides, your own phantom pain doesn't have much achievements, right?"
After receiving this counterattack, Jibril was speechless for a moment.
Because he really didn't know what to say.
That guy Preya can't even take care of a battleship now, so he let such an incompetent person find a way to make a big fuss!
However, combat effectiveness is still a big problem.
Although the Earth United Army has always looked down upon the heroes with excess supplies.
Still recovering from the damage of Junius's fall, the flames of rebellion are already spreading.
No matter how powerful it is, it will become weak after falling apart.
In addition, the opinions within the Earth Alliance are extremely mixed, and they are all people who are acting in secret.
After that guy Mattis faked his death, he also dragged away part of the armed forces, and by the way, he also tricked the Atlantic Federation.
Although the Eurasian Federation was later used as an excuse to abolish the Eurasian Federation, Hills Sati appeared again.
Use the remaining power of the clan to firmly hold the Eurasian Federation in your hands.
They even used the rebel forces to create a bullshit banner of justice.
Thinking of this banner of justice, Jibril became angry.
It was obviously done by the Atlantic Federation to serve as a flag of public opinion, but it was inexplicably taken over by Hills Satie.
The key is that he knew that Hills Sadie was causing trouble, but he had to endure it because of the existence of the Lord Angel.
Really——
After working on it for a long time, there was no one in the entire Earth Alliance that could be used——
"etc--"
While searching for the teammates of the Earth United Team 2 and 5, Jibril suddenly flashed the name of a country in his mind.
He patted his thigh and leaned forward: "We still have Orb!"
"ah?"
Joseph Copeland looked surprised.
Jibril gave a knowing smile: "That country is now in our camp, I think their combat power should not be weak..."
"oh……"
Joseph Copeland seemed to suddenly realize it, and nodded as if thinking.
What else is there to think about? Jibril was very excited.
"That's right! Oh, it's true, why haven't you thought of this step?"
The more he thought about it now, the more he felt it was a good idea.
"Let them go over to the Black Sea! Tell them to fulfill their obligations as allies and drive away ZAFT!"
The ZAFT base in Gibraltar is preparing to attack Suez, and it is heard that the Minerva battleship will also join this combat operation.
The credit for the destruction of Junius, coupled with the victory in the Orb Sea and Carnahan, the reputation of the ship is getting higher and higher, which attracts more fools to abandon the Union and focus on the colony.
The importance of Suez cannot be underestimated, but they must defeat the enemy ship earlier, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
And by letting Orb send troops, we won't hurt our capital.
After thinking about the future layout, it is indeed time to weaken Orb's power.
It just so happens that the other party now has a handle in his hand, and they will definitely not dare to refuse.
And if I remember correctly, Kira Yamato from the Lord Angel seems to have a very good relationship with Orb.
Coupled with the fact that Representative Orb was robbed of his marriage, the Archangel might be tricked by making a fuss.
Didn’t he say that he wanted to be a messenger of justice? Didn’t he say that he wanted to fight for justice and peace? Hills Satie probably didn’t want the reputation of the Archangel to be damaged—
