"What are your plans next?"
In the reception room, Mina and Lux sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, holding tea and enjoying the rare peace.
During the recent period, ZAFT seemed to have forgotten the existence of Jibril and there was no movement at all.
But both of them knew that this was just an illusion, the calm before the storm.
Jibril made a lot of moves where ordinary people couldn't see him.
The most intuitive one is the new MS that landed on Earth from the PLANT Integrated Planning and Design Bureau.
Perhaps taking into account Noel's existence, Durandal deployed two more ZAFT's latest mobile suits-Destiny Gundam.
At the same time, ZAFT and the Earth Alliance completely blocked the cosmic ray route.
Now, whether you are returning to the earth from the universe, or entering the universe from the earth, you must go through rigorous inspections by both sides.
"Let's wait until Noel recovers completely."
When Lux answered, her eyes were staring at the distant starry sky.
Under this vast starry sky, human existence is so small, so insignificant that it can be ignored.
There is obviously such a vast world waiting for humans, but humans have suffered countless casualties because of this senseless war.
"That guy needs to work hard again."
Meena Sahak knew what Lux meant.
Because Noel destroyed the Legend Gundam and Destiny Gundam, ZAFT is currently conducting emergency repairs on the two MSs.
It can also be considered as buying some time for one's own side.
This war between Orb and ZAFT has long been unavoidable.
Even without Jibril's presence, Durandal would not let Orb go, not to mention that he still had Jibril as an excuse.
This is also the reason why Mina Sahak did not kidnap Jibril.
It's not that it can't be done, but it's not necessary.
Durandal's goal is to completely defeat all forces capable of resisting him, and Orb will certainly not be able to survive alone.
Therefore, the fight must be fought.
But Orb was no match for ZAFT, and how to reasonably force Durandal to end the battle became particularly important.
In this way, Jibril cannot move, at least not until the battle begins.
Only after the war started, they would find a way to hand over Jibril. In this way, Durandal would have to stop even if he wanted to continue fighting.
As for whether there is any way to avoid this battle, the situation is stronger than the person, so there is no need to blame him, and Orb himself is not clean.
Let’s not talk about it, just say that during the LOGOS crusade, Orb ignored the requests of ZAFT and the anti-LOGOS alliance and secretly assisted LOGOS, which is enough to drink a pot.
If Durandal uses this excuse to start a war, there will really be no way to ease it.
"I'm more worried about Hills Satie and Mathis than Durandal."
Lux withdrew her thoughts.
Now Durandal's purpose and plan are basically clear.
On the contrary, the presence of Hills Satie and Matisse is a bit worrying.
According to Kira, Sears Satie had left Earth without a trace before the Battle of Paradise Island began.
Almost no one now knows where Hills Satie went.
And Matisse.
Mattis disappeared after the battle in Thirteenth Jungle.
Although it was announced that Mattis was dead, traces of Mattis could be clearly found in the subsequent battles.
Apparently Mattis is also plotting something secretly.
Two poisonous snakes hiding in the darkness and a tiger standing in the light with all the power to conquer everything.
Even Lux felt a severe headache.
"Those two sisters are indeed very interesting."
Mina Sahak's expression became solemn when he heard this.
She had no direct contact with Matisse and was not sure.
But she had been in contact with Hills Sadie several times, and even though she had read countless people, she could not see clearly the true purpose of Hills Sadie.
"In view of the current situation, when Orb starts a war, can you not take action?"
Lux asked Mina.
Mina Sahak suddenly laughed when he heard this, looked at the starry sky in the distance and asked: "Lux, in your heart, how do you measure whether a country has disappeared?"
"Is the name that symbolizes the country being erased? Or is the race that symbolizes that country being changed? Or is the life that is proud of the people of that country completely disappeared?"
Lux's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak, she just listened quietly.
Meena Sahak looked at the prosperous starry sky in the distance and said quietly: "In my opinion, as long as the people who miss the country are still there, then that country will not disappear and the country will not perish, even if they Lost my home, lost my former territory, lost my former hometown——"
"But as long as the people are still there and the people who praise themselves for a certain country are still there, then that country will still exist."
"The so-called country belongs to the people. It is not defined by a certain person or thing. It belongs to the billions of living beings who make up that country."
"A country exists because of its people, and it exists only for that group of people who call themselves a country."
When he said this, Mina stopped, tilted his head, and showed an intoxicating smile on his face: "And I also exist because of their existence, and only exist for their existence."
Listening to Mina Sahak's monologue, Lux fell into silence.
In a sense, both of them are very similar existences.
Behind Mina Sahak's strong, cold and arrogant mask, there is an absolutely pure and absolutely hot heart.
"Sorry, I was presumptuous."
Feeling Mina Sahak's heart, Lux showed a trace of guilt on her face.
Meena Sahak had no interest in power, she only chose power because she needed it to defend her people.
She is different from other politicians. No, calling her a politician is an insult to her.
She had only one purpose from beginning to end, to protect Orb's people.
All her actions are based on this.
Therefore, the temptation I just carried out was an insult to Mina's existence and philosophy. A villain's heart can judge a gentleman's heart, and that's probably it.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But this also explains why Mina Sahak did not seize power after the last war.
It's not that she can't do it, it's just that she simply doesn't want to do it.
Therefore, she issued the Declaration of Independence of the Sky and did not interfere with Orb's internal political power.
"No, it's me who should say thank you."
Mina shook his head and said calmly: "Without your help, Orb would not be able to face this disaster."
From the time Uzmi devoted his life to practicing the concepts of neutrality and peace, Orb was destined to suffer this disaster.
Is the choice of the Sailan family really a mistake?
Looking at it from another perspective, the Sailan family's choice is undoubtedly the right one.
It's just that in the subsequent line-up, the Sailan family made a wrong bet and made a wrong step.
"Just don't blame Orb for being led into the abyss by me."
Lux smiled, she was not selfless in helping Orb.
In fact, her choice of Orb was the only choice she had no choice but to make.
She was unable to interfere with the power that was stronger than Orb.
And being weaker than Orb, he was too bullying under the general situation.
"If that day comes, I am not a sinner, and who am I to blame you?"
Meena Sahak heard the subtext of Lux.
But just like what she said, the fact that Orb would be reduced to such a state has nothing to do with herself.
After all, he was using this excuse to avoid something.
Didi——
At this moment, there was a sound from the communicator.
"it's me."
Meena Sahak reached out and pressed the communication button.
[Lord Mina, PLANT has just submitted another application to the Orb government for the extradition of Jibril. 】
Mina and Lux subconsciously glanced at each other after hearing this, and both saw the solemnity in the other's eyes.
Time is up.
