For Archangel who is in a state of escaping, the arrival of Lacuss·Clyne and Sakura is actually not good news.
The reason is simple!
From the perspective of P. L. A. N. T., they would never allow the envoys they sent to Junius 7 to pay homage to the victims of Bloody Valentine to disappear inexplicably, or to be captured by the Earth Alliance.
So if nothing else goes wrong, warships should be dispatched soon to search and investigate.
This means that it is only a matter of time before Archangel's route is exposed.
Especially after learning that Lacuss·Clyne was the daughter of the Speaker of P. L. A. N. T Supreme Council, Murrue suddenly felt a headache.
Of these two prisoners, one is the well-known victim of Bloody Valentine in Coordinators, and is also the ace driver of the ZAFT Army, a combat hero with the title of "Red Queen";
The other one is a standard "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf". The surname Clyne alone is enough to make anyone dare not act rashly.
It can be said that no matter which one is even slightly damaged, it will cause huge diplomatic disputes and even lead to the further expansion of the scale of the war.
In desperation, Murrue could only order the two people to be detained in different rooms and completely lock the entrance to the room.
no way!
With the disastrous defeats in several battles, too many soldiers from the Earth Alliance died at the hands of the ZAFT Army.
Among them, the battle that broke out at Heliopolis resulted in the death of a large number of officers and personnel.
It can be said that every one of the officers and soldiers on Archangel is hostile to the Coordinators ethnic group represented by P. L. A. N. T.
If you are not careful, God knows if someone who believes in "Blue Cosmos" will suddenly rush in with a gun and kill the prisoner.
"Oh, we really got two hot potatoes this time." Murrue sighed helplessly.
Ever since she escaped from the colonial satellite - Heliopolis, she, the captain, has been dealing with all kinds of problems and troubles. She has been mentally tense and mentally stressed.
I originally thought that after escaping the pursuit, Archangel would be able to reach Moon base safely.
But now it seems that a battle will probably break out with the pursuing ZAFT Army.
And this time, the Allen machine that has never been named will definitely be unable to attack again, leaving only Strike and Mobius Zero.
"Relax, don't look gloomy. You have to know that a woman will age quickly if she looks like this. What's more, the situation is not so bad that it is irreversible. At least... we have two very important hostages now, don't we?" Mu comforted softly.
Because besides comforting him, he no longer knew what to say.
"Hostages? Do you mean to let me use those two girls to threaten the ZAFT Army battleship that may appear at any time?"
Murrue raised his head and stared into the other person's eyes with contempt.
As a soldier, she has her own moral bottom line, and even if she is in a desperate situation, she will not do something disgusting.
Mu hurriedly smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No! What I mean is that with these two people here, ZAFT Army who came to pursue us should not always rush to directly sink Archangel to designate a battle plan like before. On the contrary, they will try their best to avoid fighting and even negotiate with us to reach an agreement."
Hearing these words, Murrue finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh - if that's the case, that would be great. By the way, what is Allen doing? He seems to have disappeared since the interrogation ended."
"If nothing else, he should be chatting with the girl named Sakura. After all, the two have known each other before, and it seems that they have a good relationship." Mu replied with a shrug.
"Have a good relationship? When the two of them were fighting in the mecha, it didn't look like they had a good relationship. Instead, they were rushing to kill each other."
When saying these words, Murrue's tone revealed strong sadness.
This war between Naturals and Coordinators has caused too much suffering and tragedy.
The most painful and despairing thing is when two familiar friends eventually become enemies on the battlefield.
Undoubtedly, she didn't know that the reason why Allen and Sakura dared to "shoot Assassin" without any scruples was because they knew that the machine they were driving could not kill each other at all.
Let alone killing the opponent, even leaving a wound the size of a fingernail is impossible.
At the same time, in the room where Sakura was detained, Allen was holding a coffee pot and pouring two steaming cups of freshly ground coffee.
After doing all this, he first threw a piece of sugar into his cup, and then asked without raising his head, "Do you want milk or sugar? Or a little of both?"
"No, no need, I prefer the original bitter coffee." Sakura refused lazily while lying on the bed.
She had no consciousness of being a prisoner at all, but was as relaxed and comfortable as if she were at home.
"Bitter coffee? When did your taste change? I remember that when you were young, you preferred milk and sugar." With that said, Allen brought the coffee without any condiments to the other party.
Sakura took it and took a sip of the dark brown liquid. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the special fragrance that was bitter and slightly sour. Then she opened her eyes and asked with a sneer, "When I was a kid? How long ago was that?"
Allen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly sighed, "Well - it seems to be more than a hundred years ago. Time flies so fast, who would have thought that the gentle and shy little one at the beginning has now become Demon God who has mastered the field. How about it, are you having fun playing there ZAFT Army?"
"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. The Coordinators in this world, which calls itself "Newtypes", is not much stronger than the Naturals on the earth. The most important thing is that their war potential is seriously insufficient, and there are many high-level officials. Many people have the naive idea of wanting to negotiate. It seems that if nothing happens, they will end up losing or losing, and it is impossible to win because these people have no ideals, courage and ability to break the existing framework and reshape a whole Newtypes society."
Sakura did not hide anything and expressed her views openly.
"Quite keen judgment. You are right! Although the technology in this world is relatively advanced, there is almost no progress in social form, structure and underlying philosophy. Therefore, the upper elite class cannot make up for the social unrest and differences caused by technological progress, which ultimately led to the birth of P. L. A. N. T." Allen touched his chin and explained meaningfully.
As we all know, the progress of Science and Technology is inseparable from philosophy as the underlying logic of thinking.
Judging from the development process of Earthlings-like civilization, every substantial improvement in Science and Technology must be preceded by a progress in thought and philosophy.
It was precisely because of the Renaissance in the sixteenth century that Europe people broke the shackles of religion and began to engage in crazy philosophical speculation, which resulted in the subsequent rise of capitalism and the industrial revolution.
But the world of Gundam SEED is just the opposite.
Human beings have clearly entered the universe. Countries like P. L. A. N. T. can even leave the earth, rely entirely on space mining to obtain the resources they need for survival and development, and build habitable colonial satellites one after another in the universe out of thin air.
In addition, the technology of screening and modifying one's own genes is called "God's forbidden area" in the 21st and 20th Second Generation centuries of the earth.
But even so, various countries and political entities still fail to control the growing power of capital. On the contrary, they are kidnapped by the power of capital.
Whether it is the tens of millions of Coordinators or the many colonial satellites joining together to form a new country P. L. A. N. T., it shows that people are not mentally prepared to accept this change.
It's not just them who are not ready, the elites are not either.
As a result, the whole situation was completely out of control from the beginning.
"What are you going to do?" Sakura drank the hot bitter coffee in the cup, raised her head and asked with interest.
"If it were in the past, I would have exposed some scandals at the top to the army and the people, and then inspired them to rise up and launch a revolution, completely overthrow the existing ruling class, and get rid of those capital groups that are used to hiding behind the scenes to control everything. But now, I have lost this Interested. Because that is too troublesome and requires a lot of brainpower to think of a social structure that is consistent with the existing productivity. Now I just want to be a simple Travelers and let the people of this world do the changes."
Having said that, Allen turned his attention to the next room.
Sakura caught this point keenly and curled her lips disapprovingly. "You want Lacuss·Clyne to be the person who changes the world?"
"Why not?" Allen smiled and shrugged.
"Hmph! I admit that that guy is indeed quite outstanding in terms of political sensitivity. But the problem is that her ideas are too naive and are not much different from Speaker Sigur Clyne. If you act according to this idea, you can only achieve temporary peace at best and cannot solve the fundamental conflicts between the two sides. If nothing happens, a new war will break out soon." Sakura pointed out Lacuss's fatal flaw.
"It doesn't matter. Just have talent. Thinking and ideas can be corrected slowly. Anyway, it's just an attempt. It doesn't matter even if it fails. After all, human civilization in this world has developed to a very high level. Even if you leave it alone, it will not degrade to the point where you can't even have enough to eat. Okay, this is the end of our small talk. Next, I want to go next door to talk to Lacuss."
The words just fell!
Allen turned around and walked out with the coffee cup in hand.
After about ten seconds, he completed the communication with the doorman next door, opened the electronic door and walked in.
"You are..."
Lacuss·Clyne was obviously stunned, blinking his two big watery eyes.
"Hello, Miss Clyne. My name is Allen. I used to be a senior engineer at Dawn Company Heliopolis distribution. I once participated in G Project's research and development work. Due to the sudden invasion of the ZAFT Army, he is now being hired by the Earth Alliance, who is the pilot of one of the experimental machines." Allen introduced himself with a smile.
He has no particular dislike or liking for Lacuss·Clyne, one of the controversial heroines in the original plot.
Although some people think that Lacuss is a shady person who constantly uses his emotions to get Kira and Athrun to help him achieve his political goals.
But Allen believes that regardless of her motives, this young girl successfully gathered strength in the end and prevented the war from sliding into the abyss of mutual destruction of both sides.
The only thing he couldn't understand was that after the death of Sigel Clyne, why did the entire faction choose to support this little girl who was not yet eighteen years old?
Is there something wrong with the collective brains of those politicians?
Or is this singer really so influential that she can make a group of old foxes think that Lacuss can lead them out of a desperate situation?
"Allen? You are the pilot of that mysterious machine!" Lacuss·Clyne opened his mouth in surprise.
When she came, she had heard a lot of inside information, and she immediately realized that the man in front of her was the "traitor" whom Patrick Sala called a "traitor" and wanted to get rid of him.
"That's right! I designed, manufactured and piloted that machine myself." Allen quickly replied in the affirmative.
"So, the rumors that you are Coordinators are true?" Lacuss continued to ask.
Allen answered straightforwardly, "Yes. Except for Coordinators, Naturals simply cannot adapt to the current Manipulation type system that is too complex for MS."
Lacuss nodded thoughtfully. "I see. But I don't understand why Coordinators, who is as talented as you, would choose to help Earth Alliance instead of his compatriots?"
"Compatriots?
Hahahaha!
Sorry, I never felt that those Coordinators who think they are superior to others are my compatriots.
Or to put it another way, I never feel there is any difference between Naturals and Coordinators.
You must know that from a genetic perspective, the genetic difference between humans and orangutans is less than 1.2%, and the difference between Coordinators and Naturals is less than 0.00001%.
The only difference between Naturals and Coordinators is that the genes of the former evolved through natural selection, while the latter evolved through artificial selection.
With the current level of technology, it is difficult to determine which of these two methods is better.
After all, although Coordinators, which has passed manual screening, seems to be far superior to Naturals in all aspects, it is extremely difficult to have children.
I heard that P. L. A. N. T. just passed a bill not long ago, trying to force young men and women to marry through genetic matching.
You must know that mankind fought against arranged marriages and pursued freedom of love for hundreds of years.
But you guys have just started reversing history.
Tell me, what on earth gave Coordinators such a superior mentality?
Is it talent and ability?
Or is it the lineage theory that has been eliminated by history?
Or do you want to create a new monopoly class? "
When Allen said these words, both his tone and eyes showed naked and undisguised sarcasm.
