Chapter 57 The First Clash of Ideas
Cruze's ability is indeed strong.
Because the satellite collapsed, the battle naturally ended in vain.
Back in the hangar of the Archangel, Wang Hu, who had just gotten off Egasus, had to admit this.
The masked man's timing in giving orders after he rushed back was so accurate.
It basically gives the people on the Archangel a situation where they have to choose between two options.
Is it to protect satellites and civilians or to protect oneself?
While he was still thinking about this question, the figures of Li Chengzhi, Ma Liu and others with bad looks appeared in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Wang Hu asked several people.
"The satellite is down. What are you doing here at this time instead of on the bridge?"
"Kira rescued a powerless shelter on the way back, and came to take a look."
Li Chengzhi, with a sullen face, answered first.
"That's it."
Glancing at the other two figures following behind his friend, Wang Hu was 100% sure that these three had had a quarrel on the bridge before.
As for the reason, it is obvious to oneself that conflicts in concepts are always the most difficult to reconcile.
Soon, the blue and white figure of the Strike Gundam also appeared in the hangar, and the shelter in its hands instantly attracted the attention of many people.
"Brother Wang Hu." After putting the shelter away, he got off the Strike Gundam.
As soon as Kira saw Wang Hu, he shouted with a hint of guilt, and then he was speechless, not knowing how to face Wang Hu.
Kira, who was a little bit of a bottom, was still filled with regret at this moment. In his opinion, he was largely responsible for the collapse of the satellite.
It was all because I had let Wang Hu down. He had reminded me so much, but I still hadn’t done it well.
If Brother Wang Hu scolded me harshly, that would be what he deserved.
"What are you thinking about? Good job."
Wang Hu walked up to Kira and ruffled his brown hair, then smiled and said he would never mention the satellite collapse.
There was no intention of blaming Kira at all.
Seeing this, Kira felt relieved and his expression looked better.
Kira turned his head and pointed at the shelter that a soldier was about to open, as if he wanted to make up for something, he said.
“I saved a refugee capsule.”
"We are not a rescue team here, Kira, do you know what the situation is?"
"This ship is in the middle of a battle with ZAFT! A real rescue ship will arrive after the shelter!"
Just like in the original timeline, Baki Lulu, who was too military-minded, had a quarrel with Li Chengzhi.
It looks like what happened during Kira's return flight is going to happen again in the hangar.
"Me?" Kira looked at Bakilulu with a stern expression, and his expression froze.
He had just come down from the battlefield, and with the rage of killing someone for the first time surging in his chest, Kira was about to retort.
"Are you still saying this at this hour? Lieutenant Bakilulu!"
The person who said this was not Malu, but Li Chengzhi who was full of anger.
Li Chengzhi, who also possessed the ethics of a professional soldier but represented different things, was suppressed to the extreme and then exploded completely.
"Who are we? Soldiers!"
Pointing at the military uniform he was wearing, which was different from the ones worn by Maru and Bakirolu, Kira and the people around him looked on in astonishment.
Li Chengzhi attacked Baki Lulu madly with a dark face.
"In order to save their own lives, they allowed the enemy's attack to hit the satellite's central axis, causing the entire satellite to collapse and threatening the lives of countless people."
"This is a serious dereliction of duty and a disgrace to the honor of the military. Now seeing the victims, they still don't want to rescue them, and they are trying to evade responsibility by using the excuse of fighting." "Is it safe to let the shelter, which has lost power, continue to float in this ruin full of dangers?"
"Rescue team? How long will it take for the rescue team to arrive? How long will it take for the rescue team to find the shelter at the site of such a large satellite crash?"
"Don't you know that when humans face unknown dangers, the mentality of the people in the cabin changes over time?"
"Is it possible that an unspeakable tragedy will occur due to various reasons before rescue arrives?"
"Captain Li Chengzhi!"
Bugilulu was also angered by Li Chengzhi's close-range attack. The two had previously quarreled over the ownership of the Strike Gundam.
There had been another quarrel on the bridge, so there was no need to worry about another one.
The iron-faced female lieutenant simply retorted.
"If our ship is sunk during the battle, what will happen to the people in the shelter?"
"Who can guarantee that we can escort them to a safe place? In view of this, leaving them where they are and waiting for the arrival of the rescue team may be the option with the highest chance of survival."
"We are soldiers. We must first ensure that we can survive, so that we can effectively stop the enemy from continuing to massacre our people."
"If we die, what will happen to the people? This is totally putting the cart before the horse!"
A fierce argument broke out in the hangar, with the husband saying he was right and the wife saying she was right.
"That's why concepts are the most troublesome thing." Wang Hu said to Mu and Malu.
With an awkward smile, Malu didn't know how to answer Wang Hu, and Mu, the prodigal son, also kept his mouth shut.
The main point of contention between the two sides is based on the concepts evolved from the two civilizations and their different positions.
Although both families went out to rescue, the things they brought and the reactions of the people were different. How can people reconcile this?
"Brother Wang Hu?" After listening to the quarrel between Li Chengzhi and Bakilulu for a while, Kira was not a fool and he understood the reason from just a few words.
There is actually a way to prevent the collapse of the Heliopolis satellite, as long as the Archangel does not give in to the enemy's missile attacks!
With the size and defense of Archangel, it will not necessarily be shot down by missiles, and the satellite will not collapse.
But Baki Lulu and the others did not want to bet on this possibility, nor did they expect that the missile could actually hit the central axis of the satellite!
"You are the real soldiers."
Kira said this very seriously from the bottom of his heart.
When this was said, the people coming out of the shelter agreed with it. After arguing for so long, the victims had actually come out a long time ago.
Having received a relatively Westernized education, these refugees are not unable to accept the choice made by Baki Lulu and others.
After all, Baki Lulu also said during the argument that she didn't notice or expect that the enemy Cruze's plan was so insidious.
Just accepting that you are the party involved, how can the views and ideas be the same?
I have long heard that soldiers from East Asia are completely different from those from the Atlantic Federation. Now it is true that seeing is believing!
Therefore, the refugees looked at Wang Hu and Li Chengzhi differently.
Their eyes were full of trust and admiration.
"Uh." Malu and Mu looked more and more embarrassed. They were not blind.
How could they not feel the change in the atmosphere, if only Malu and Mu were not so shameless.
In fact, they really want to cry out that they are injustice. In fact, we also agree with the decision made by Wang Hu and others!
"Alas." They sighed and looked at each other in silence.
"Stop letting them quarrel, okay?" Mu suggested to Malu in a low voice. "It's too embarrassing."
"I'll go and persuade them." As if escaping from a disaster, Maru hurriedly went forward, grabbed Bakilulu and wanted to leave.
"Are you Kira?"
At this time, a weak female voice sounded, and the red-haired girl noticed Wang Hu and Kira.
Unlike Wang Hu, whom she only met once on the satellite, she was more familiar with Kira.
So even though the girl thought that Wang Hu represented a more reliable person, she still instinctively chose the one she was more familiar with.
