Immortal Soul of Steel

The matter has been discussed for the time being.

Durandal left first, taking Lei with him.

Lin Youde and Lux ​​then left.

Zhen Feiniao, Mayu Feiniao and Luna still wanted to chat with Lin Youde and Lux, but Lin Youde was constantly struggling with Durandal's plot just now.

He said that he and Lux ​​had something to discuss, so he declined the three of them for the time being.

Lin Youde and Lacus went to sit down in a room specially arranged for the two of them. Lin Youde immediately asked Lacus.

"Lux, what do you think of what Durandal said just now?"

"Although I have just promised Durandal to help him defeat three Gundams."

"But that's because this request coincides with our demands and can trigger a hidden mission, so we agreed."

"But I always feel in my heart that I am not at ease."

"This Durandal's mood is so calm that he doesn't have any mood swings at all, which is outrageous."

"I feel very uneasy..."

Lux was a little surprised when she heard Lin Youde's words.

"No mood swings?"

"It seems that Speaker Durandal is very confident."

After sighing, Lux sat on the edge of the bed and analyzed calmly.

"When it comes to conspiracy, that's for sure."

"And this plot is in what he said before."

"Youde, did you notice that he just asked you to help defeat three new Gundams, instead of asking you to help destroy the enemy?"

Lin Youde was stunned for a moment: "This seems...certain."

Lacus nodded slightly and explained.

"His plot is hidden here."

"Youde, don't forget that since the end of the war a year ago, the Earth United and P.L.A.N.T. signed an armistice agreement, which is the so-called peace agreement."

"In the peace agreement, a clause was added prohibiting the further use of nuclear energy in the military field."

"Nowadays, with many nuclear-powered MSs being sealed, the Freedom Gundam can be said to be one of the few nuclear-powered MSs still equipped with anti-neutron jammers."

"Once the Freedom Gundam sets foot on the battlefield again, and the Earth United and P.L.A.N.T. do not go to war again or tear up the peace agreement. What do you think will happen?"

Lin Youde frowned: "Will Orb be pushed to the forefront?"

Lux nodded and continued.

"Not only that, don't forget, Liberty Gundam has always been labeled by you before."

"Everyone knows that the Freedom Gundam was driven away from P.L.A.N.T. by Youde."

"Not to mention the publicity campaign we carried out during the last war so that Orb would not be affected."

"The Freedom Gundam is now considered to be your exclusive vehicle. On the contrary, it is Orb's Eclipse Gundam. Although it is also your exclusive machine, it is relatively less well-known."

"Returning the Freedom Gundam to P.L.A.N.T. was our temporary proposal and has not been fully publicized yet."

"What do you think will happen if someone takes a picture of the Liberty Gundam siding with P.L.A.N.T. in the battle between the United Earth and P.L.A.N.T. and brazenly launching an attack on the United Earth?"

Lin Youde frowned: "Using a nuclear machine or my Freedom Gundam? Once such a thing is announced, in a sense, it may be hyped as Orb being the first to tear up the peace agreement?"

"This...it seems that I sent the Freedom Gundam here before, which was a bad move?"

"Really... At that time, I was thinking about how to complete hidden tasks and protect our safety. I didn't expect that this guy Durandal would actually have such a plan."

Lux had a slightly solemn look on her face: "Yes, the Freedom Gundam was returned to P.L.A.N.T. on our own initiative."

"But just like this impromptu idea, the newly appointed Speaker Durandal was able to accurately grasp it and plot against us, trying to push us to the forefront and attract firepower."

"This Speaker Durandal really cannot be underestimated..."

Lin Youde sat on the edge of the bed, frowning: "But why? Aren't we allies on the same front now?"

"Why is this guy Durandal plotting against us like this?"

Lux held Lin Youde's hand and guessed.

"Perhaps it's because I'm afraid that Aub will become a wallflower."

Lin Youde was slightly surprised: "Being a wallflower?"

Lux nodded: "Yes, youde, don't forget, although Aubrey has many adjusters who came to escape the war."

"But Aubrey is more of a natural person."

"As long as the Earth Alliance no longer acts as recklessly as it did a year ago, trying to block Orb from a dead end, then Orb can change from a neutral country to a country that completely succumbs to the Earth Alliance at any time."

"And P.L.A.N.T. finally gained a very reliable ally because of our relationship. Of course, they want to completely turn their ally into a best friend who cannot rebel."

"What Durandal wants is to turn ORB from a wavering pro-P.L.A.N.T. country to a country that completely leans towards P.L.A.N.T. without any room for maneuver."

"In this way, the pressure on P.L.A.N.T. will be shared with Orb to a certain extent."

"As long as he can do this, Durandal should be able to gain more prestige, so that he can use it to free himself from the shackles imposed on him by my father and Uncle Padric, right?"

Lin Youde was puzzled: "However, if you want to do this, the premise is that those who fight the Freedom Gundam must be people from the United Earth."

"If you are fighting people from "Blue Earth" who are similar to a terrorist organization, you won't be able to achieve this effect, right? "

"After all, although the Liberty Gundam is a nuclear machine, it is still my vehicle. But as a prince of Orb, I still have room for maneuver from a moral perspective when I drive a dedicated machine to fight against terrorism."

Lux shook her head: "It seems so, but it's not. Don't forget, if you are moral, you said before that the people who snatched the Gundam are most likely people from the United Earth. They are not terrorists from "Blue Earth". "

"Now that the Earth Alliance has the courage to grab new aircraft, they must be ready to start a war at any time."

"They took away the new aircraft. It can be directly said that P.L.A.N.T. secretly developed the new aircraft in an attempt to start another war."

"You can also capture footage of the Freedom Gundam fighting and say that the Freedom Gundam is fighting people from the Earth Alliance. This will start a war."

"The United Earth doesn't care about a little bit of fame. If they really care, they won't be so crazy about using nuclear bombs and the Cyclops system over and over again."

"For them, as long as they have a reason not to bear the burden of unilaterally tearing up the peace agreement, that is enough."

"No, even if there is no reason, maybe they will find a reason."

"Some people on Earth can't wait and want to start a war."

"So no matter what we do, they can always find an excuse to start a war again."
