As ZAFT Army entered the colonial satellite, the last MS was severely damaged and had to retreat for repairs. The short but fierce battle finally came to an end.
Although ZAFT, as the active attacking party, lost several Ginn, as well as one Red Uniform Elites and several ordinary soldiers.
But they succeeded in grabbing four new MSs developed by Orb Dawn Company for the Earth Alliance and all their data, and almost wiped out all the enemy troops who came to perform the secret mission. No matter how you look at it, they made a lot of money.
On the contrary, Earth Alliance not only lost its most important new body, but also almost all the senior officers who arrived with the battleship were wiped out. Only two or three kittens survived by chance.
Fortunately, after a difficult and dangerous battle, Murrue·Mwu La Flaga finally saved Strike Gundam, while Nataru·Bucky Lululu restarted the paralyzed new warship-Archangel.
In addition, Mu La Fulada, the ace pilot in Naturals, finally maintains a certain degree of combat ability.
This means that the entire plan has not completely failed.
If they can escape back to Earth alive and hand over the battleship, body and data to the top management, the war will reach a turning point and they will become the heroes in the Earth Alliance.
As for Allen and his machine, it was a complete surprise.
The battle ended about ten minutes ago.
Inside the hangar of Archangel.
The two Gundams with different styles finally parked at the designated location and slowly opened the cockpit door.
When the driver walked out, everyone present except Murrue, who knew the inside story, were stunned.
Because the driver of Strike is a sixteen-year-old boy. There is not even the slightest trace of time on his immature face. He does not look like a soldier.
In comparison, the pilot of the other machine, Allen, was slightly better, at least he looked like an adult.
But the work clothes he was wearing and the badge with a photo showed his identity as a senior R&D staff member of Dawn Company.
A R&D engineer and a young kid teamed up to kill several Ginns, and forced ZAFT Armys to temporarily retreat?
This sounds like a joke!
Just look at the exaggerated battle loss ratios between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT Army in several large-scale battles, and you will know what price it will cost to kill a Ginn.
This is true even for professional soldiers, let alone laymen.
Mu, who had just stepped off the MA——Mobius Zero, blew his whistle and praised, "It's really surprising! I was just thinking about what the driver who made that guy Lu Lu Cruze look like, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be two young people."
"Don't sound like you are very old. As far as I know, you Eagle of Endymion seems to be less than thirty years old." Allen stepped on the elevator and descended from the Gundam to the ground.
When Mu heard this, he immediately laughed happily, "Hahahaha! That's right. I'm far from the age to be an uncle. If I guess correctly, you and that boy should both be Coordinators, right?"
The words just fell!
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Especially Archangel Earth Alliance soldiers who had just survived the disaster, some were so nervous that they even pulled out their guns.
After all, the Root of this war is the result of the intensified contradiction between Naturals and Coordinators.
In the minds of most Earth Alliance soldiers and senior officials, Coordinators is the enemy.
The students who boarded the ship quickly stood in front of Kira, trying to protect Coordinators's classmate and friend.
Allen undoubtedly noticed the nervous reactions of the people around him, and asked with a chuckle, "What, is there any problem?"
"No, it's nothing, I just want to confirm. On the way here, the novice pilots used the simulation cabin for training, and it took a lot of effort just to do some simple actions. I think, except for Coordinators, there is no Naturals that can drive these new MSs that are still under experiment. In addition, the machine you are driving does not seem to be on the list." Mu explained with a shrug.
"Put down your guns! Are you going to point a gun at Mr. Allen, who participated in the design and construction of Archangel, and one of the core developers of the new mobile suit?" Murrue also stood up and shouted loudly.
Others may not know Allen's identity, but she knows it quite well.
It can be said that no one here can understand the performance, parameters and actual combat capabilities of these new weapons better than Allen.
If something unpleasant happens at this time, you will only be the one who suffers.
It is necessary to know that the units currently on the Archangel that can be put into combat, excluding the battleship itself, are only the Strike driven by Kira, the Mobius Zero driven by Mu, and the unknown body in the Allen posture.
Murrue doesn't think there is a second person who can replace Allen in the complex and extremely sensitive control of Mechanical Neural Network.
"What? One of the core developers!" Nataru·Bucky Lululu's eyes widened in surprise.
In her impression, the core R&D personnel should be a group of professionals with extremely high IQs, and most of them are over forty years old, and no matter how young they are, they will not be under thirty-five years old.
But Allen looks too young, only between twenty and twenty-three years old at best.
Murrue nodded seriously. "Yes! He is the genius who proposed a substantial improvement and strengthening plan and broke through several key technologies at the same time. To a certain extent, he is our benefactor Earth Alliance."
"That's it! We were rude! Archangel welcomes you, Mr. Allen." Nataru·Bucky Lululu quickly stood at attention and performed a military salute to express his apology.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy." Allen smiled nonchalantly.
He is not a child like Kira who has no social experience and has not seen through the darkness of human nature, so he will not make trouble because of such a trivial matter.
In fact, whether it is Earth Alliance or ZAFT Army, there is not much difference in the eyes of Allen.
To put it bluntly, it is still a conflict of interest.
Those parents of the first generation of Coordinators, in order to let their children win at the starting line, use Gene Modification to make their children smarter and stronger from the moment they are born, thereby crushing children who have not experienced Gene Modification in all aspects.
As for the parents who are qualified to carry out this kind of transformation, it is known without asking that they must be an extremely wealthy minority with vested interests.
In contrast, most ordinary people who do not have money to make Gene Modification, their children and descendants can only silently endure the all-round crushing advantages of Coordinators, and gradually cannot compete with it.
I can only watch the other person take away the best job, earn countless times more than myself, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of being surrounded by beautiful members of the opposite sex...
If it develops like this to the end, it will definitely form an upper-level monopoly group composed entirely of Coordinators.
Ordinary people have no value at all except being reduced to tools for exploitation.
Therefore, Allen does not find it strange at all that there is a wave of rejection and suppression of Coordinators on the earth.
With the world's highest level of technology and education, it would be strange if the public didn't react.
Therefore, in this war, whether it is ZAFT Army who represents the interests of Coordinators, or Earth Alliance who represents the traditional capital interest groups, both sides are responsible, and neither is innocent.
In fact, when large interest groups such as the state versus the state compete, it is often difficult to define right from wrong and good from bad if one's own interests are not involved and there is no establishment of a position.
It's just that the Earth Army's Atlantic Federation's methods are more dirty, dirty, and shameful.
"Can I ask what your next plans are?"
After a short silence, Murrue finally couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about.
After all, compared with Kira who has no background or background, Allen is not something that a little officer like her can handle casually.
His sensitive identity as senior researcher Dawn Company involves countless intricate interests.
"Plan? Well - I don't have any special plans for the time being. If necessary, I can pilot that machine to attack to resist ZAFT Army's attack."
Allen undoubtedly saw through the other party's thoughts and gave a straightforward and affirmative answer.
"Are you willing to help us fight ZAFT Army?" Nataru·Bucky Lululu was obviously surprised.
She also thought that the other party would use her status as a Dawn Company researcher and a resident of a neutral country to refuse to participate in the war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT Army.
Allen responded meaningfully, "I am a very realistic person. As long as the price is right, I will be very happy to provide my wisdom and strength to the employer. But the premise is that you must be able to pay the salary for hiring me."
"No problem! I swear on my honor that as long as you can help us stop ZAFT Army's pursuit and reach a safe place, Earth Alliance will definitely be willing to give you a generous reward." Nataru·Bucky Lululu assured categorically.
This young female officer is very clear about the value of Archangel and Strike Gundam, as well as their irreplaceable importance to the direction of future wars, which cannot be measured by mere money.
In this way, both parties reached a verbal agreement.
Allen temporarily joins Archangel's battle sequence as a mercenary.
After dealing with the most difficult person, everyone turned their attention to Kira, who had been left out for a long time.
Murrue was obviously hesitant to drag this student into the war.
After all, the situation at this time is far better than the predicament in the original plot where only one MS, Strike, could barely fight in the entire battleship.
Especially Allen's incredible movements and agility in controlling that machine gave her great confidence.
After much consideration, Murrue, who was temporarily elected as the captain, finally couldn't help but test it out. "Kira, can you temporarily stay on standby as the pilot of Strike? I know you don't like fighting. But for the lives of everyone on this ship, please give us a helping hand at this critical moment."
"I... I think I need to think about it." Kira once again showed strong resistance in his eyes.
"No problem! You and your friends can go to the cabin at the back to have a rest and have something to eat." Murrue agreed very reasonably.
In this way, a group of boys and girls were arranged into the ordinary soldiers' lounge not far away.
After they left completely, Mu immediately sighed softly, "Involving a group of children, war is really an extremely cruel thing."
"Who says otherwise. As soldiers, the only thing we can do is to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and bring this war to a complete end."
After saying this, Nataru·Bucky Lululu turned around and left the hangar, directing the few Earth Alliance soldiers on Archangel to begin carrying all possible supplies.
Because the previous fierce fighting had made the roads full of potholes, and there were even terrible ground fractures in some places, it was very difficult to transport them.
But under her coordination, all work was carried out in an intense and orderly manner.
In order to survive, everyone unleashed all their strength.
Seeing this scene, Teresa, who had been patient for a long time, immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Are we going to the earth on this battleship next?"
"Well, yes. Believe me, it will be very exciting and interesting along the way." Allen nodded straightforwardly.
He is already looking forward to competing with the top red MS pilots in the ZAFT Army like Athrun.
"Can I try to drive Strike? The boy you are following doesn't seem to like this kind of work."
While speaking, Teresa turned around and stared at the huge figure in the distance, his eyes full of excitement and expectation.
As a Warrior, she is very interested in this kind of large war weapon that she has never been exposed to before. She has wanted to try it for a long time, but she has no chance.
"Okay! When Strike needs to attack next time, you can talk to that child alone." Allen smiled and gave his own advice.
In his opinion, instead of letting the protagonist Kira embark on the path of becoming the "strongest Coordinators" in the original plot, constantly causing tragedies and enduring unbearable pain and torture, it would be better for him to maintain his status quo and be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
Of course, all this depends on Kira's own choice.
After receiving an affirmative reply, Teresa immediately raised the corners of his mouth with a trademark smile, "Great! This is exactly what I want. You know, these few months of boring and idle days have made me feel like my body is about to get rusty."
"Don't be too happy too early. Fighting with these large robots is a completely different experience from fighting with your own body. Although your fighting talent is very high, it will take some time to adapt." Allen reminded you with a pretentious intention.
Secretly, he was ready to appreciate Teresa's embarrassing appearance in the first battle, being beaten by the ZAFT Army's ace pilot...
