Chapter 73 Is there no place for reason in this bright and clear world?
"Dear Fortress Artemis, this is the United Forces Archangel, requesting permission to enter your fortress."

The journey was uneventful as they arrived at their destination. Everyone on the Archangel came to a transit station on this journey.

Looking at the fortress ahead that was defended by countless Moon Umbrellas that had been lit up, everyone felt a sense of ease and joy in their hearts.

At least we have arrived at the friendly territory and can find a safe place to rest for a while.

"This is Artemis Fortress. We did not find your ship registered in the United Forces' sequence."

"We are unable to confirm whether your ship is a friendly force, please leave immediately!"

"Repeat, can't be sure you..."

However, the excited group of people on the Archangel received such an answer.

The people who had been hoping that they would be temporarily safe here, had their smiling faces frozen in an instant.

"how come?"

Ma Liao listened to the response on the communication that was still driving her and others away, and she looked back at the people around her in confusion.

"Hahaha, the battleship hasn't been registered yet. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's a battleship that was manufactured in secret."

Mu forced a smile and found an acceptable reason for everyone so that everyone's mood would not be so bad.

"So, what do we do next?"

He looked directly at Wang Hu, the de facto captain of the ship.

After thinking about it, Wang Hu walked forward.

In the original timeline, the other party seemed to have accepted the Archangel's request for shelter without further ado.

this time……

"Hehehe." Wang Hu chuckled and quickly figured out the reasons.

At that time, there were only two ZAFT warships chasing the Archangel.

Artemis, who had the protection of the Moon Umbrella, was naturally not panicked.

Zaft, who was determined to capture Heliopolis and was caught in a diplomatic crisis, would never dare to start a war at this point in time.

Even the people of the Eurasian Federation were so greedy that they wanted to get their hands on the Archangel.

But this time, with my own existence, the current situation is completely different.

On the way to Artemis, the Archangel not only sank four enemy warships, but also almost crippled the enemy's ace unit, the Cruze Team.

This fully demonstrates the Archangel's powerful combat capability and its harmfulness to Zaft.

For this reason, the enemy fleet that was summoned by Cruze was gathering to besiege the Archangel.

If things go wrong, the leader of the ZAFT army might start a war outside this fortress!
The Eurasian Federation is different from East Asia, and also different from the Atlantic Federation, to which the Archangel battleship actually belongs.

Why should they get involved in this mess?
Although the Archangel is good, it has become a hot potato for them.

Of course, it is better not to get involved if possible.

Isn't it nice to curl up in a turtle shell and enjoy the peaceful days in this world full of war?
"Respectfully inform Artemis Fortress, this is Archangel, I am Wang Hu, the captain of the third battalion of the Nova Fortress Training Team, and I am from the East Asian Army."

"Military identification code DYJXX41811922001, currently escorting the Archangel battleship back to our military headquarters, in view of the long-standing friendship between our two sides."

"I hope you will accommodate this ship. At the same time, I hope to borrow your fortress's high-power long-distance communication system to send a message to the East Asia Space Force Headquarters."

"I believe that with your and my combined military strength, we can protect the Archangel from the clutches of the Zaft Army."

"And the latest MS Strike Gundam that is on board this ship is definitely a fact beyond doubt."

"Wang Hu!" He had just finished speaking before the Eurasian Federation Army on the opposite side responded.

Baki Lulu, who was standing behind Wang Hu, could no longer control her anger and stood up.

"You!" The car lights flickered violently. In her opinion, Wang Hu was not talking about Zaft at all.

His words and deeds were essentially instigating the people in the Artemis Fortress across the street.

On behalf of the Eurasian Federation, the East Asian Army joined forces to make a five-for-one deal, and the two families divided up the Archangel, the property of the Atlantic Federation! "Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing Li Chengzhi trying to hold back his laughter, Wang Hu turned around and looked seriously at the angry Baki Lulu.

"Can't Eurasia and East Asia keep an Archangel?"

"If this is the case, we won't have to fight Zaft. We can save a lot of trouble by just surrendering."

"you!"

His hands were shaking with anger. He looked at Wang Hu, who knew the situation but looked confused, and then looked at the helpless expressions of the people around him.

The diligent and responsible Baki Lulu almost couldn't catch her breath, and at this moment, the reply came from the other side.

"The rising star's Kirin, the strongest natural man, the fangs of the coalition forces!"

"It turns out to be Captain Wang Hu. Quickly, open the Moon Umbrella and prepare to welcome the arrival of Captain Wang Hu."

Unlike their previous disdain for the people in Artemis Fortress, their welcoming attitude was extremely enthusiastic, a 180-degree reversal.

Even without seeing the expressions of the people on the other side, everyone on the Archangel could imagine it.

The other person laughed so hard that his tongue almost turned into a small hand, and then he grabbed the Atlantic Federation's property tightly.

Can't wait to sit down at the table and feast on the fat of the Atlantic Ocean!

"You, you guys!"

Baki Lulu pointed at Wang Hu, who looked innocent and confused, and Li Chengzhi, who looked confused and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Bandits, all bandits!"

She was angry and powerless facing the two bastards standing in front of her who were wearing smiling masks on their faces but were actually full of malice behind their backs!
Baki Lulu, who always holds herself to high standards as a soldier, appears so weak and helpless.

Who can I count on to help me?

Was it Malu or Mu? Or was it someone else on the bridge?
Looking back at her colleagues who were avoiding her gaze, Baki Lulu finally lowered her head.

"Come in." Wang Hu said softly to Ma Liu with a faint smile on his face.

"Oh... okay." Ma Liu answered reluctantly and glanced at the helpless Bakilulu.

Seeing that she couldn't say anything else, Ma Liu gave the order.

Then he looked at Artemis, who was supposed to be a friendly force and a safe place.

Now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a dangerous place filled with even more malice than Zaft's pursuit.

“Hopefully, our choice is the right one.”

Whispering to Mu and Bakilulu, Malu's mood was extremely complicated.

"Don't dwell on this issue. Our future selves shouldn't use the future's perspective to criticize our present selves for the choices they make based on the present situation."

Mu put away the mask of a cynical playboy and rarely revealed his true side.

"After all, we are human beings, not gods. We don't have eyes that can see through the fog of the future."

“Always thinking that current judgment is imperfect is the original sin of human arrogance.”

"Mu?" Ma Liu began to look at the man next to him with new eyes.

"Captain Mu." Bakilulu cheered up.

Yes, what he said makes sense. Just do everything you can at the moment.

Then, when one day in the future you think about today, you will be able to have a clear conscience!
Thinking of this, Baki Lulu slapped her face.

She would do this later, when Wang Hu and the Eurasian Federation shamelessly robbed the Archangel.

Let the righteous words of rebuke turn into an invincible sharp blade, expose the enemy's shameless face and let the world see their ugly face!

Justice is in the hearts of the people. Is there no place for reason in this bright and clear world?
　Regarding the description of Baki Lulu in the previous chapter, especially the part about Xiao Deyi, I didn't handle it well. Thanks to the advice of the book friends, I have changed it. Since the paragraph comment will automatically disappear after the paragraph is changed, I will express my gratitude here. You are also welcome to give more suggestions on my mistakes. Thank you.
