"Your goals are nothing more than two. First, to end this war, and second, to establish the Utopia Orb again. I am right." Ito Cheng's eyes slowly swept over everyone and said.

Everyone who was swept by Ito Cheng's gaze looked at each other one after another, and finally Cagalli nodded and admitted, "Yes."

"Then I'm asking a question. You should have a fund left to you by Representative Uzumi or Orb." Ito Cheng looked at Cagalli, Kisaka and Erica again and asked. .

"Not bad." Kisaka and Erica looked at each other and admitted in a deep voice.

"It's good if you have it." Ito Cheng nodded and said, "In fact, if you have such funds, you can recruit space mercenaries and let them assist you. Whether it is a war or an assassination, as long as they can afford the money, they will do anything. "

"..." Hearing this, Kisaka, Erica, and Cagalli fell silent at the same time. They obviously had not considered such a thing.

"In this case, who are we?" Kira said solemnly.

"Then what do you think our current behavior is?" Ito Cheng looked at Kira fiercely and asked with a sneer. Then he ignored Kira and continued to look at Kisaka and said, "Actually, I prefer to choose assassination. It can save your expenses to the maximum extent and can also quickly eliminate the stubborn upper-level elements."

"Just assassination doesn't seem to be able to achieve the goal of ending the war." Kisaka said solemnly, obviously he was prepared to veto this proposal.

"Of course it is impossible to end the war by assassination alone, but have you ever thought about whether the new guys who come to power can maintain such a high influence even if they are still supporters of the existing ideas?" Ito Cheng asked rhetorically, and then answered by himself without waiting for anyone to speak, "Not necessarily. In this way, will there be changes in the forces that originally succumbed to their influence? Will the opponents jump out and take action? We Can we use this to make some articles? Then end this war."

After hearing Ito Cheng's continuous questions, everyone couldn't help but start thinking again. It's just that Ito Cheng didn't give them much time to think, so he spoke again

"At least as far as I know, at least three forces will definitely jump out at that time. One of them is the East Asian Republic of the United Earth. They are originally a country that adheres to moderation. There has never been an extreme racist in power. He himself will not reject the adjusters, so without the influence of Murtagh Aztral of Blue Cosmos and the chaos of the Atlantic Federation oppression after his assassination, he will definitely stop this all-or-nothing policy immediately. Maintain their national characteristics and continue to live.”

"Then there is the Eurasian Alliance. You must know that since the war began in 1970, the Eurasian Alliance has been pushed to the front line by the Atlantic Federation many times, forcing it to go from a military power to a weak one even in East Asia. If chaos breaks out in the Atlantic Federation, they would just sit back and watch the show, recuperate, and wait for their national strength to rise again."

"As for the end..." Ito Cheng said this, turned to look at Aslan and Kira and said, "I think Lux will definitely jump out."

After hearing this, Kira and Aslan behaved differently. Kira frowned but did not show any dissatisfaction, while Aslan lowered his head and fell silent. .

"That pink princess?" Mu asked strangely.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded, looked at Aslan and said, "As far as I know, she seems to be a wanted plant and is being hunted across the country."

"Yes." Aslan saw Ito Cheng looking at him, nodded and admitted in a low voice.

"If Patrick Sala is assassinated, there will be no one in the plant who can have the huge popularity and command the overall situation like him and Siegel Klein. By then, The upper echelons of the plant must also be in chaos, which gives Lux the opportunity to jump out, and then rely on her huge popularity among the people at the bottom to gain political support, thereby influencing the decision-making of the pro-Klein faction and achieving a certain goal. .”

"But these are all based on the success of the assassination." Mu pointed out the key to the problem. "It is possible that one, two or a few people were assassinated, but so many high-level officials were assassinated at the same time. I feel that it is too far-fetched." Night talk.”

"It depends on people. As long as you are willing to do this kind of thing, nothing is impossible." Ito Cheng shrugged and said, "Okay, I have said all that needs to be said, and you can think about the rest."

After saying that, he turned and left the bridge, walked back to the Gnaku, sat in the small engineering inspection ship when he came in, and waited. Shortly afterwards, Ma Liu and Mu also appeared in the inspection ship one after another, started the engine and flew towards the Archangel.

"What you said today probably destroyed your image in the hearts of Kira and Orb." On the way back, Mu smiled at Ito Cheng who was sitting next to him.

"It's nothing that can't be destroyed, it's just that your words happened to arrive there." Ito Cheng said with an indifferent expression.

"But if we do as you say, it is really possible to end the war." Mu sighed.

"But I guess they may not agree to do this." Ito Cheng said.

"Well." Mu shrugged. He also knew that among Orb's gang, except for Erica Simmons, whom he could not see clearly, Kisaka was completely obedient to Cagalli, and Cagalli was a little girl with an excessive sense of justice, so she would definitely not Maybe he should follow Ito Cheng's suggestion, so in the end it is most likely that this matter will remain unknown.

The distance between the two ships was not far, so soon the small inspection ship returned to the Archangel. Then the three people who walked out of the cabin returned to the bridge and changed their destination to the direction of the L4 colonial satellite group.

…

"You should be able to stop saying that today." In the captain's lounge, Maru looked at Ito and asked.

"It's okay if you don't say it. You have to know that we are also participants now. I don't want you, me, the Archangel, and everyone on the Archangel to be in danger because of the ideals of those people." Ito Cheng said to Maru. He spread his hands and said.

"You can't say that, after all, Master Uzumi..." Malu said with a frown.

"That's why I admire Uzumi." Ito Cheng walked to sit next to Maru and chuckled, "Just a few simple rhetorical questions and a few philosophical words, he deceived you into following his ideals. To fight, this method is really..."

"Don't say that." Malu looked at Ito Cheng dissatisfied and said.

"Well, it was his charisma that infected you and made you willing to fight for his ideals." Ito Cheng reached out and grabbed Maru's hand and said with a smile.

"Don't be so playful, don't you think Lord Uzumi is right? What is the meaning of this war, why are we fighting, and what should we fight against." Mayu looked at Ito Cheng seriously and asked.

"Half and half wrong." Ito Cheng put away his smile, looked at Maru and said equally seriously, "Maru, you are not a child anymore. You should know that war has always been a continuation of politics, and politics is a means of obtaining benefits. , there is no need to think about the meaning of war when you are not the one who started the war! As for why we fight, the answer is even simpler. As soldiers, we fight for the country. As individuals, we fight for the country. We fight for our loved ones at all times, and we fight to stay alive when we are ourselves! What should we fight in the end? The answer is equally simple. We must fight against all those who want to destroy the happy life and survival rights of us and our loved ones. targets and enemies."

"...I understand." After hearing Ito Cheng's explanation, Malu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally said in a heavy tone.

"Okay, don't think so much all the time, it will make your life very tiring." Ito Cheng pulled Maru into his arms and hugged her, caressing her back and comforted softly.

"Yes." Ma Liu leaned on Ito Cheng's arms and whispered with her eyes closed.

"Also, when the war is over, you will leave with me." Ito Cheng took the opportunity to say.

"Okay." Ma Liu agreed without hesitation for the first time.

"We agreed that after the war is over, you will leave with me." Ito Cheng looked down at Maru in his arms and smiled.

"Yes, it's agreed." Ma Liu agreed.

"That's good." Ito Cheng chuckled, lowered his head and kissed Ma Liu's lips, entangled with Ma Liu's lips and tongue in response.

After a while, Ito Cheng let go of Maru and chatted with her in the lounge for a while, then got up and left the captain's lounge, returning to his dormitory to rest.

What followed was a twelve-day space voyage. The two ships Archangel and Kusanagi finally arrived at the L4 colonial satellite group on June 30, CE71, and landed on one of them called "Mendel" Stopped among the abandoned satellites that were still in operation.

Then on July 1st the next day, after a night's rest, Aslan applied for a small single shuttle from Malu, and then was escorted by Kira Yamato's Ziyou Gundam to the Zaft border military fortress Yakin Duwei. At the edge, he broke away from the protection of Ziyou Gundam and flew to the plant alone, preparing to meet his father Patrick Sara to relieve the confusion in his heart.

It's just that the Zi You Gundam that escorted him did not leave here. Instead, it went to the vicinity of Yakin-Duwe every day to wait for Aslan's return. In this way, the time turned to July 5th again. A pink high-speed battleship suddenly appeared near Yakin Duwei and was intercepted by Zaft. Kira, who originally had no intention of causing trouble, immediately activated the Zi You Gundam to join the rescue after hearing the female voice in the broadcast, and then led the pink battleship "Eternal" that escaped from Zaft's control back to "Mongolia". "Del", completed the merger with the two ships Archangel and Kusanagi parked here.
