Regarding Lacus's 'prayer', Uncle George poured cold water on it in an undiplomatic manner.
"Peace... Although I also look forward to it as the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, things are not easy.
Let's talk about the most fundamental issue. The Plant was originally invested and constructed by the Board of Directors, which is now Earth Alliance;
Now your bottom line must include Plant independence, so how should this account be calculated?"
Lacus opened his mouth to respond or refute, but was stopped by George·Alstar, the deputy director of foreign affairs.
"I know what you want to say, but it's still too early to talk about peace.
The respective positions of both sides have led to many fundamental contradictions, and the war that has lasted for a year has seriously damaged the mutual trust between the two sides.
The emergence of 'Celestial Being' and yesterday's talks did bring new opportunities, but they were just opportunities.
If we want to achieve a peace that is acceptable to both sides rather than imposed by one side, the road ahead is still long and arduous, so let us work together."
Faced with uncle George's "revelation of true feelings" and "truth", Lacus was also speechless for a moment.
Compared with Plant and 'Celestial Being'&Orb, and Earth Alliance and 'Celestial Being'&Orb;
The differences in positions, numerous contradictions, and the hatred and resentment brought about by the war between Plant and Earth Alliance are actually much more than Uncle George's 'focus';
Therefore, although we know that problems will only increase as the war continues, it is indeed extremely difficult to end the war quickly.
'Fortunately, 'Celestial Being' appeared in time...'
Lacus Thinking this, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and changed the topic to a much more relaxed topic.
"Speaking of which, Uncle George, don't you plan to take Miss Flay with you?"
Faced with Lacus's insinuations, George·Alstar, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, once again told the truth.
"Since Flay also has this intention, then letting her become the lover of Mr. Luther is a good choice under the current circumstances.
After all, unlike you, Miss Lacus, your daughter's education is to become a 'vine' around a 'big tree';
As the war intensifies, I, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, can do less and less. As a father, I also strongly support her choice.
After all..."
Although George·Alstar the Foreign Secretary left something unsaid in the end, the 'free' sexual relations among the upper class of Natural has been one of the targets of long-term criticism and ridicule in Plant society where even marriage requires government coercion to advance;
It's just that Lacus never thought that one day this topic would become a boomerang that would hit him.
While the two were talking, the bridge of Gwameir was already in sight.
Under the guidance of the female guard guarding the bridge, Lacus and George·Alstar, the foreign undersecretaries, entered the bridge together.
"Miss Lacus·Klein, Mr. George·Alstar, have entered the bridge."
"The guest seats have been prepared for the two of you, please take your seats."
Luther has not yet arrived at the bridge. In addition to the female guards, the only one in the command area is Colonel Teresa Tastarosa, commander of the fleet 'Celestial Being';
Since he was already on official business and had no affiliation, Tessa just turned around and briefly explained, then nodded to the two of them.
So Lacus and George·Alstar, the foreign undersecretaries, could only return the gift and then sit together at the two adjacent guest seats at the right rear of Tessa;
And in the bridge where Gwameir was working, there were two people with very different stances present at the same time besides fighting against Logos, so it was difficult for them to chat;
Therefore, the two of them could only take the opportunity to observe the Gwameir bridge, and use the terminal in the guest seat to confirm the latest situation.
Fortunately, not long after, Luther also arrived at the bridge.
"Hey, Lacus, and uncle George, you are already here.
Where are Tessa, Haman and Cagalli and Flay?"
While Luther nodded politely to the two of them, he floated to the accustomed position on the left side of Tessa, and casually asked Tessa, who was in charge of the overall situation, about the other main members.
"Haman said he wouldn't come over today. He came out with me first and then went directly to the gnar cabin.
Cagalli, I just received a report from the Gna cabin, saying that I didn't know that today's combat preparations were not routine, so I went to the Gna cabin to participate in daily training;
I am currently arguing with Cima, requesting to participate in combat readiness duty as a regular pilot.
As for Flay, because she was not on the list of personnel and supplies finally received yesterday to leave the ship, judging from past reports, she should still be sleeping in the dormitory now, right?"
For Luther, it's easy to understand why Haman didn't want to see customers and left, and it's also expected that Cagalli would be silly;
As for George·Alstar, the Foreign Secretary actually agreed to Flay staying, Luther was somewhat surprised.
"Uncle George, Flay won't you leave with you?"
In response to Luther's direct inquiry, the response of the Deputy Foreign Minister George·Alstar was also very clear.
"My little girl seems to be quite familiar with Gwameir's life.
Anyway, after the collapse of Heliopolis, just as Mr. Luther said in 'Celestial Being Formation Declaration', 'There is no safe place in the world'.
In my opinion, your Gwameir can be regarded as one of the safest places right now.
My incompetent daughter is incompetent in literature and martial arts, and the original betrothed is also missing. If you don't mind, Luther, I will leave my daughter to you from now on."
Although Haman is not around, Luther feels a faint phantom pain in his waist;
Just considering Flay's original fate, Luther's conscience is not good enough to "do nothing to save others";
And since we have obtained the 'approval' from the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs George·Alstar, considering the secret agreement to jointly fight Logos, refusing may not be a good choice.
So after thinking about it for a while, Luther chose to pretend not to understand and spoke vaguely.
"Flay is not short of food on Gwameir. Since Uncle George you think it is safer here, of course Flay can continue to stay on Gwameir before you make new arrangements.
As for Flay's fiancée, classmate Sai should be on Archangel now, maybe we can meet today."
George·Alstar The Foreign Secretary was thinking about how to respond to Luther's part about Sai, when Gwameir's radar control officer suddenly reported loudly.
"The monitor deployed in the L3 direction yesterday responded. When comparing the ship's shadow, it turned out to be Archangel!
It looks like it's heading in our direction at full speed, and it's expected to arrive in about 3 hours!"
"8th Fleet's advance fleet is also there, Archangel is also there, Creuset Team must be nearby too! All departments pay attention to the search!"
Faced with the 'prophecy' made by Luther, Lacus and George·Alstar, the foreign undersecretaries, each became nervous;
And next to Luther, Tessa naturally issued combat orders.
"The entire ship is on level 3 combat readiness!
The mobile weapons department is preparing for attack, and Silver Wind and the shuttle are also ready!
Radar department, pay attention to the positions of the 8th Fleet advance fleet and Archangel!
Minovsky Particle Increase the dispersion concentration!"
