Chapter 240 Regulators and Natural Persons

"Wait! What's the matter with the boarding permission?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding? The young master of the Orb Yang family is helping the Earth to jointly develop MS? Aren't you a neutral country?"

"Don't joke! Yang Hui, this is the Earth Army's newest battleship, and the [G Plan] is top secret, you..."

Faced with the questions of the three highest-ranking officers present, Yang Hui answered them one by one, of course, incomplete ones.

"As you heard, although 4 units of the X series were taken away, isn't there still one left? As for the current results... it can't be considered complete, right? Commodore Halberdon promised us a very high reward, and I don't want to leave a handle, so that I can't get paid after working hard, so I will temporarily follow the Strike Gundam until it is completely completed." This is the answer to Malu.

"Orb is a neutral country, there is no doubt about this. This cooperation with the Atlantic Federation is just a simple transaction, and does not involve a change in political stance. As for why... Sorry, it involves Orb's secrets, so I can't tell you." This is the answer to Mu.

"I've been involved in the development of the G series, so it's not a secret to me. As for the Archangel... am I not considered to know the secret now?" This was his answer to Baki Lulu, and he stepped on the catapult deck a few times to tell her that we're on board, so what's the point of talking about secrets?

"This..."

"What's going on..."

"You!"

The three people had different expressions. Every answer Yang Hui gave was well-founded, and it was difficult for them to refute it, especially the permission to board the ship. The performance of the Strike Gundam has not been fully demonstrated. Similarly, there are problems and defects. As the only remaining semi-finished product of the G plan, it is the most important task to safely deliver it to the commander of the 8th Orbital Fleet, Commodore Duane Halberton.

Although four units have been stolen and technical information must have been leaked, it cannot be completely used as a wedding dress for ZAFT. The Federation's hope of building a MS unit depends entirely on the Strike Gundam.

Similarly, as a semi-finished product, it is definitely impossible to hand it over. After all, [Project G] was carried out by Duane Halberton on his own and in conjunction with others, and many shady means were used. If there is no result, the top leaders of the Atlantic Federation will not let him go, and the people or organizations who were coerced and lured will not let him go.

So... Yang Hui, as the only surviving top R&D personnel in [Project G], it is the most appropriate and perfect result for him to complete the Strike Gundam with the team.

But... his identity is too sensitive, and if it is not done well, it will completely change the situation of the Earth and PLANT.

"If you do this... Orb will not agree, so I will not grant you permission to board the ship." Malu shook her head and rejected Yang Hui.

Although she was also eager to see the completion of G, as long as G could be safely delivered to the hands of the Earth Federation, completion was only a matter of time, but it would take longer.

But Yang Hui, this big trouble, was right in front of her, and she took the initiative to squeeze into her, so she had to push it away quickly.

Let's not talk about what kind of trouble Yang Hui will cause by boarding the Earth Army's warship. As far as the current situation is concerned, ZAFT's warships are still eyeing outside [Heliopolis]. They have no other combat power except the Strike Gundam and the Archangel with insufficient personnel. Whether they can escape from ZAFT and successfully reunite with friendly forces is unknown. Malu dare not let Yang Hui take risks with them.

"Okay." Yang Hui spread his hands. He knew Malu's character and would never give him permission to board the ship, nor did he force it. After all, his identity was here. If he forced it like a licking dog, Malu and others would doubt his purpose.

But not giving permission to board the ship now does not mean that he can't stay on the Archangel.

"But now..." Yang Hui looked in the direction of the Strike Gundam, or the direction where Kira and the other five were.

"What about them? Why do civilian children drive MS?" Mu knew that Yang Hui's question could not be further investigated, so he also followed Yang Hui's wishes and shifted the topic to other places.

"Ah, that's right. When we were attacked, he appeared in the factory area for some reason. It was too dangerous at the time, so I asked him to board the Strike Gundam. His name is Kira Yamato."

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Mu was full of doubts about Kira, Maru quickly added.

"Thanks to him, he destroyed a [Zeen] and repelled the [Shigu] before, and finally defended the last G."

"Destroyed [Zeen]? You mean that kid!?" Baki Lulu exclaimed. They all knew that they repelled [Shigu], but the difference between repelling and destroying was still very large, which made them even more unbelievable.

"I came here this time to escort the rookie pilots of those machines. How are they?" Mu asked.

"When the explosion occurred, they were at the command desk greeting the captain, and then they..."

"Is that so..." It was another sad topic. Although they were not acquaintances, they were both members of the Earth Army and were both lives. They died so simply, and no one could turn a blind eye.

But the information provided by Malu made Mu confirm a certain guess, and Mu took the lead and came to Kira with everyone.

"What...what happened?" Facing the burning eyes of everyone, Kira was very nervous.

"You...are an adjuster, right?" In order not to scare Kira, Mu's tone was very soft. Although he was an Earth Army member, he was not a fanatic and was hostile to all adjusters.

"……Yes."

"Click~"

Following Kira's affirmative answer, the soldier on the side pulled the bolt of the gun.

Thor and others were frightened, but still stood in front of Kira.

"What do you want to do?" Yang Hui also stood between the soldiers and Kira, looking at the soldiers with a stern look, "Kira is a citizen of Orb."

"Put down the gun!" Malu immediately angrily scolded the soldiers. She could see that the soldiers were quite nervous. They were not that group of fanatics. They were currently at war with ZAFT. They had narrowly escaped death due to ZAFT's attack before. One of the adjusters The killer suddenly appeared in front of them, and they subconsciously regarded Kira as their enemy.

But Ma Liu heard the two meanings in Yang Hui's words.

The first is to tell everyone that Orb is a neutral country, and its citizens include both natural persons and adjusters. [Heliopolis] is Orb's colonial satellite. The appearance of adjusters is normal, and Kira is not an enemy.

The second is to tell everyone that Kira is a citizen of Orb, so Yang Hui, as an important figure of Orb, will definitely protect his own citizens.

If the soldiers really hurt Kira, it would not just be a battle between natural people and adjusters, but it would directly evolve into an international problem.

And...seeing the nervousness of the soldiers, she was also afraid of misfire. After all, Yang Hui was standing on the ray.

The soldiers' tension cooled under Malu's angry rebuke, and they looked back at each other in confusion, but in the end, they obeyed Malu's order and put down their guns.

"What? It was obviously because of Kira that I was saved, yet you have such an attitude."

"That's right, ungrateful."

The four Thors muttered that Kira was their friend and the savior of everyone. To be held at gunpoint by the saved person would make everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Captain Lamias, what exactly is this..." Baki Lulu was very confused, why did Malu hand over the important G to a civilian boy? What's more, he is also an adjuster.

"No need to make a fuss, right? Many adjusters moved to the neutral country [Heliopolis] because they didn't want to be involved in the war, right? Kira."

"Uh...well, yes, because I am the first generation adjuster." Kira replied.

(PS: The first generation of adjusters refers to those who have adjusted their genetic genes before they were born. The second and third generations are the offspring born after the union of adjusters.)

"In other words, your parents are natural persons." At this point, Mu also left a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who raised the topic. "I'm really sorry. I'm actually the one who caused such a big mess." Want to ask."

"Captain Flaca..."

"On the way here, I watched the simulation training and start-up tests of those reserve pilots. Just to get the aircraft to move slowly, they have to spend a lot of effort. Each one is more deadly than the other." Mu sighed. road.

No matter how many subjective factors exist in the world, the objective gap is a fact. No one can deny that adjusters are indeed better than natural people.

"Captain, where are you going?" Seeing that one of the two top officers at the scene was about to leave, Baji Lulu asked quickly.

"Where else can we go? I was shot and made an emergency landing. The enemy outside is Team Cruze."

"Eh?"

Everyone was shocked. Team Cruze was a famous elite unit of ZAFT. Before Cruze became the captain in white, during the Battle of Endymion, he single-handedly drove the highly mobile [Jean] to defeat the entire team. Mobius Zero] team, leaving Mu alone as a survivor.

After that battle, it was rumored that Kruse, who was not an adjuster, fought his way through many outstanding adjusters and became the captain of an elite unit.

"Is it really him?"

"Yes, so we are in quite a lot of trouble now. Instead of worrying about Kira's status as an adjuster, we should first think about how to get through this crisis. From what I know about him, he will not stop here. He is a neutral country or something. ...There are no restrictions on him.”

"No...it can't be...even the Cruze team won't mess around in [Heliopolis], right?"

"They should be waiting for us outside [Heliopolis] to get inside..."

"Didn't they already do this? The captain was killed by them!"

"Then what should we do? This ship has no combat effectiveness, and it is fighting inside a colonial satellite. If we are not careful, [Heliopolis] will be destroyed!"

…

"Quiet!" Seeing everyone's panic and confusion, Baji Lulu angrily yelled, and then asked Malu: "Captain Lamias, you are now the person in charge of the Archangel, what should we do?"

Everyone looked at Ma Liu and regarded her as their backbone.

"..." Facing everyone's gaze, a heavy responsibility fell on her shoulders. Although it was very heavy, Ma Liu had to shoulder this responsibility, "... All members are preparing for Level 2 combat, inspecting [Shuguang Society] , give priority to recovering all available parts of the Strike Gundam, and then replenish the ship's supplies to prepare for ZAFT's attack!"

"Understood!" XN

There are not enough manpower, and they don't know if they can complete such a heavy task, but they can only do it because it is their only hope.

Everyone dispersed, and Kira and the other five would temporarily stay on the Archangel. No matter which country they were from, they had already known the top secrets and could not be let go. As for Yang Hui...

"Yang Hui, you are..."

"I'm going to adjust the Strike Gundam, Kira, come and help."

"Eh!?"
