Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe - Chapter 439 Victim (3)
In the end, the riot started by Mattis came to an end when Mattis himself was confirmed to have been killed, but a more violent storm was about to cover the sky above Eurofatu.
In Matisse’s final assault, the Savior could not withstand Hazel’s encirclement and suppression, and Hilde Lolar simply announced his surrender. Compared with the complete victory in the mobile suit battle, the record of the ground troops was somewhat bleak. All members of the team responsible for the security of the guesthouse died in the battle. If Chisaka had not personally led the team to support him, Matisse might have really The safe house can also be demolished.
Compared with these battle losses, what is more serious is that the only spokesperson and press officer of the PLANT delegation, Bernadette Lehu, died. Her body was at the door of the safe house, and Mia was not there when watching the video. Avoiding others, so many members of the delegation saw the scene of Lehou being shot by Mattis.
The matter was so important that Orb held a press conference at three o’clock in the morning without skipping a beat. At this time, reporters from various countries gathered around him like sharks smelling blood. I originally thought that Orb’s battle was too clean and tidy and there were no news breaking points. Now there are casualties in the PLANT delegation. Although no one wants to see the war rekindle in the earth circle, the reporter’s instinct is urging these people He kept asking questions to Mina.
“Representative Sahak, can you tell me why that group of people was able to accurately find the location of the PLANT delegation?”
“Here, here, please tell me why terrorists found loopholes in Yarafas Island’s defense. Shouldn’t this be the safest place?”
I don’t blame reporters for being ruthless in asking questions. To a certain extent, the sharper the questions, the more beneficial it is to Orb. After all, the spokesperson of the diplomatic corps died in Orb. PLANT’s next step is most likely to apply for a joint investigation. At that time, the defenders of Carpantalia will also take action.
At the same time, Orb’s Heavenly Pillar is moving again. If Genesis and Granada Base cannot stop PLANT’s space fleet, there is a high probability that the island will be faced with enemies from both sides. At that time, Orb will have no choice but to abandon the island in order to survive. If this is the case, the prestige of the People’s Revolutionary Federation will be trampled under the feet of PLANT, and it will be impossible to unify the earth circle for at least ten years.
So Mina didn’t dare to neglect this press conference at all. She asked someone to inform Cagalli of Tianzhizhu that she would immediately go to Granada with the evacuation troops. If she didn’t come back before, let’s not come back now. .
At the same time, he asked Yin Shihuan to go to the basement of Shuguang Society to inform Hilde that no matter how far her research had reached, she should immediately pack her things and prepare to leave Orb. Considering the uncertainty of the universe, Mina suggested that Hilde go to Jabulo Base. , this way Orb can be considered as having two backups outside. Even if something happens to her on the main island, Cagalli in the sky and Hilde in South America can continue to raise the flag of Orb, and they will not be blamed.
Finally, Mina stood on the podium with a tired look on his face. Mattis’s suicide attack was full of mysteries from beginning to end. Why was it chosen at this time? Why was the landing place directly where the PLANT delegation was stationed? Why A 12-person team can pinpoint the delegation’s location so accurately.
As long as Mina can be given time, she may not be able to follow the clues and find the connection. What’s more, Orb also captured an Ild Lolar alive. Mina does not believe that such a dead man can even have any inside information. No one knows, but only if Ild’s mouth can be pried open, then everything will be revealed.
But Mina didn’t have time. The PLANT delegation forcefully rejected Orb’s request for an autopsy on Lehu. What made Mina even more incomprehensible was that even Mia uncharacteristically chose to side with PLANT. Because of ‘Lux”s request, PLANT specially arranged a shuttle from the mainland. In six hours, they will leave Orb with Lehu’s body.
If the delegation was under the chairmanship of Lehu at the beginning, although there was no result from the negotiation with Aub, at least there was no bias in attitude. From the beginning to the end, what they asked for was enough evidence to support the view of “Gina the Photocopyer”, and I didn’t come here to make Orb confess.
But now Lehu is dead. Although he died under the gun of Mattis, the other members of the delegation do not agree with Orb’s investigation results. The battle outside the sea was fought so cleanly, but his capital was actually attacked. Stealing a house, and it just happened that Mattis landed next to the delegation, and he happened to find the delegation’s location so accurately, anyone would doubt this result.
“I reiterate that the communication between Orb and Ms. Bernadette was very smooth and there was no unpleasantness. The death of Ms. Bernadette is a tragedy, and the culprits behind this tragedy are LOGOS and the family behind the scenes. Black Hand, if we shift the focus of suspicion to Orb, then it will be equivalent to denying the wishes of these rats. PLANT demands the truth, and I will give the world a truth.”
At this time, Mina’s mind was filled with the memory modification technique in Hilde’s hands. She was determined to open a gap in Hilde Lolar. No matter what the truth of the matter was, she had to let Hilde. De said what Orb wanted, even if this behavior seemed extremely similar to phantom pain, she would not hesitate.
Although the reporters’ questions were sharp, due to the considerations of the countries in the Earth Circle, there were basically no malicious guidance or pointed questions. As for Mattis’s beheading operation, most people just thought that Orb was on the island. There was a flaw in the defense, but Mina could not disclose it to the public due to face and military secrets. This kind of face-saving behavior is perfectly normal for any country.
The time had already pointed to 5 o’clock. Even with the physical fitness of a person, Mina felt a huge sense of fatigue. Just as she was about to answer the last question and end the press conference, Chisaka said with a serious face. The person from the audience came up and then thrust a portable computer into Mina’s hand.
“This is.”
Holding the microphone with one hand, Mina looked at Chisaka with some doubts. In her knowledge, things rarely happened that made this professional soldier’s face change drastically, so for a while she didn’t even have time to blame Chisaka. Why did Ka come up without waiting until the end of the press conference? Is it because he thought Orb wasn’t in enough trouble?
“The news sent by Cagalli is said to have come from Siegfried. I took a look at it and I don’t dare to make my own decision because the matter is too important.”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and there was a dead silence on the stage. In this atmosphere of ice and fire, Mina directly projected the screen of the computer brought by Chisaka behind him.
“Everyone, I am going to announce a big news to the world. Although I am sorry to say this to Ms. Bernadette, whose body is still cold, the PLANT fortress has posed a huge threat to the peace of the Earth Circle. According to our intelligence , the name of the fortress is Messiah!”
Isn’t Lehou’s death important? She made Orb fall into great passivity in public opinion. Is Lehu’s death important? In the face of the news about the Messiah, the reporters in the audience could even selectively forget this name.
In a tragic era, personal life and death have become an absurd black comedy. When you are useful, your life is precious; when you are useless, you are worse than a dog.
