Gundam SEED: Eastern Enlightenment

At the Orb Ministers' Conference

"There is no other way after this farce. The Atlantic Federation has begun to force us to change our position. We need the power of this ship now."

Uzmi Yula Asha heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the battered Archangel heading towards Kaguya's Aurora port, but he remained calm on the surface.

"How is the statement preparation going?"

"The second draft has already been published."

"Then I'll leave the statement to you. I'll handle the ship and the Aurora Society."

"Yes."

"That ship is such a big trouble..." some councillors began to whisper.

"It's no use saying this now."

Chief Uzmi is also helpless now, as Orb definitely needs the power of the Archangel.

Just in these two days, ZAFT's new mobile suit, Decisive Gundam, used the new weapon from the destroyed Duel Gundam on Archangel, causing the fall of the Eurasian Federation's Fortress Artemis. On the Earth Union's side, the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation both believed that the technology was leaked from Orb to ZAFT, and both sides have begun to force Orb to join the Union and open all their technology and research sites to the Union.

Orb is in a difficult position now. ZAFT believes that Orb is a minion of the Earth Federation, while the Earth Federation believes that Orb is trying to please both sides, building the G plan on its own satellite while leaking top-secret information to ZAFT.

Uzmi knew that he couldn't afford to offend both sides, and that the East Asian Republic was insidious, making a fortune in silence. He didn't dare to tell anyone.

On their side, the Sahak family did steal some information about the Atlantic Federation's G Plan, and they had offended them; the Eurasian Federation also held a grudge against Orb because of the Artemis Fortress.

The East Asian Republic obviously wants to keep a low profile. If they say that something belongs to the East Asian Republic, they will offend East Asia as well. If they offend all three major forces on Earth, it will be difficult for Orb, as Orb is still a country on Earth.

The current solution is to quickly improve Orb's armaments and get close to the East Asian Republic. Only in this way can we truly remain neutral in this gap and preserve ourselves.

The Archangel is the brainchild of Project G, and the Heretic series was developed based on the five machines in Project G. Now the arrival of Archangel and Assault is very important.

……

"Who would believe such a statement?"

On the three submarine carriers of the Aslan team and the Carpentaria base team not far from Orb's territorial waters, Isaac slammed the table after watching the statement that Orb had just made.

Orb's statement said that the Archangel had been damaged and left Orb's territorial waters!

I really don't believe it, the princess of Orb is on the Archangel! And the Orb fleet in the last battle was obviously acting.

"I hit Long Legs' engine, but Orb's army couldn't hit Long Legs at all. They hit Gates so accurately and fiercely, isn't this just acting?" Diego was also very angry.

"But that's not necessarily true. The huge explosion just now doesn't seem like something a mobile suit could cause. Maybe Long Legs was really injured and left, but we don't know to what extent." said the captain of the Carpentaria base team.

"No, if Orb said that he destroyed Long Legs, I would doubt whether Orb was telling the truth, but if he said that he injured and drove it away, then it must be inside Orb.

I suspect the final explosion was caused by the destruction of two Gunns at the same time." Aslan said aloud.

"Crick and the others are all elite. It's possible to defeat them one by one, but it's impossible to defeat two Gunns at the same time, right?"

"No, we don't know where the underwater machine came from, but it's no ordinary machine. The fact that he was able to fight the entire Gunn team 1v3 shows his strength.

If I remember correctly, Captain Morassim's Zono was killed by that machine, right?"

"That's right." The Carpentaria base remembered that the strongest underwater warrior Zono of Morassim was killed by that machine not long ago, and nodded in agreement.

“Anyway, Long Legs must be in Aubrey, but I don’t know where.

But this is an official statement from Orb, and a hard approach would only cause diplomatic disputes."

"Damn it, are we just going to leave it at that? Can't we just break in? Long Legs must be in there!" Isaac was very angry.

"This is not Heliopolis, and the size of the army is also the same. Orb said it is neutral, but we don't know what's going on inside. There may be many such machines inside."

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" The table in front of Isaac was in trouble.

"How about this, that machine can turn invisible, you guys continue to be on guard here, and our team will try to sneak into Orb to conduct reconnaissance."

"It can only be the."

……

On the Archangel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Archangel, under the escort of the Orb fleet, finally sailed into a hidden harbor hollowed out under an island. After being chased all the way on the sea, they could finally take a break.

Baki Lulu looked at the gradually disappearing sea surface worriedly. Although Lin Chu had said goodbye to her before, is he okay after the violent explosion underwater just now?

Frey got off the machine, gasping for breath. She looked at the heretic in disbelief, unable to imagine that what was happening to her was real. Who is Lin Chu?

It was difficult for her to have such an intense battle in her first battle, 1v4 with the Archangel. Fortunately, the perfect evolutionary talent shared by the system was reliable.

"Don't worry, this is the secret island of the Orb Aurora Society, and satellites cannot observe this place."

In the bridge, Chisaka's voice brought Bakilulu back to her senses.

"So you really just need Stormtrooper's combat data?" Mariu couldn't believe that Orb took such a big risk to act just for Stormtrooper and Kira.

Orb already has a complete set of mass-produced MS, even underwater models, so would the assault be of much help?

Especially since even Frey could drive the M1 Heretic and display such combat power, it was really terrifying. Frey was a girl who knew nothing before.

Malu didn't know that what she saw was all Lin Chu's strength. Assault and Kira were indeed of great help to the heretics in Orb. Lin Chu had just pretended to help adjust the OS before and didn't try his best. Now the heretics in Orb were still struggling to practice walking in the training base.

"Well, next, Uzmi Yula Asha will meet with you." Chisaka didn't know what the Dawn Society and the leader were doing.

In the car heading to the Aurora Society, Uzumi was also thinking about what the East Asian Republic was trying to do. Using the name of Orb to lead the Archangel all the way to Orb, was it just an attempt to divert attention to Orb?

Uzmi's idea was indeed correct. Lin Chu's idea was to make everyone focus on Orb. It would be best if all spy departments went to Orb, so that what he was doing in East Asia would not be discovered.

Before everyone on the Archangel saw Uzmi, an elegant lady in a jacket came onto the bridge of the Archangel. Her elegant face could not hide a bit of anger. It was the real Director Simmons who wanted to settle accounts with the fake Major "Simmons".

Director Simmons became even angrier when he didn't see the masked man, Major Lin Tiankuo, when he got on the bridge of the Archangel.

"Where is Major Lin Tiankuo?" Simmons asked Malu, suppressing his anger.

"Ah, who is Major Lin Tiankuo? Who are you?"

"I am Director Simmons of the Orb Aurora Society, and I have long heard of your great name.

Major Lin Tiankuo is the man wearing the white half-face mask. Didn't you see him?"

Simmons knew Maru, after all, Maru was also a technician and had been a technician for the G-Project PS armor.

"Are you talking about Major Simmons? Are you Director Simmons?" Malu was a little confused. Did the two people have the same first name or the same surname?

"Anyway, it's that masked man driving the Heretic!"

Director Simmons became even angrier. He used his and Orb's names to mess around outside. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so generous with the machine. He was also deceived into going to East Asia to work as a teacher and nanny for a period of time. Although the M1 heretic machine would be exposed sooner or later, its later exposure would obviously not put Orb into the current embarrassing situation.

Due to the lack of sufficient resources for large-scale mass production and the lack of an OS operating system suitable for ordinary drivers, even with the M1 Heretic, Orb is unable to form combat effectiveness and use force to deter other countries.

Orb is now like a kid with gold in a busy city. If Orb had not made three statements a day saying that the M1 heretic is not his and that the Atlantic Federation has no energy now, Orb might have been overwhelmed by the Earth Alliance army long ago.

Not finding Lin Chu here, Director Simmons went to the hangar of the Archangel.

Everyone on the bridge was curious about the angry Director Simmons and followed him to watch the fun.

When I arrived at the hangar, I still didn't see Lin Churen, but I saw Frey's Shrike Heretic.

"Where is Lin Tiankuo!" Simmons called him by his name. She wanted to settle the score with Lin Chu.

Fleur was bewildered.

After signing the system contract, Frey already knew that Simmons was Lin Chu, but Lin Chu had not yet told her that he also had the alias Lin Tiankuo.

"It's Major Simmons." Malu reminded Frey.

"Oh, you mean Major Simmons. He's gone. He didn't return to the Archangel. But before he left, he asked me to tell everyone not to worry about him. He'll be back later."

Bakilulu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Frey's words. At least she wasn't dead. That bitch is just lucky.

"What! He's gone!

No, then who is driving this machine? "

Simmons' voice was raised a notch. Did this guy feel guilty and run away?

"I'm the one piloting this machine."

"You? Are you from East Asia too? Or are you an Adjuster too?"

Director Simmons knew that the assault pilots were adjusters when he was in East Asia. At that time, Major Lin Tiankuo kept saying that the assault pilots could help him create an OS system that was most suitable for ordinary people to drive MS.

"Ah? No, I'm from the Atlantic Federation, just an ordinary person."

Director Simmons looked at Fleur suspiciously.

"Can you show me your body?"

"Ah..., but who are you?"

"I am Director Simmons of the Aurora Society in Orb. Your M1 Heretic machine was designed and produced by our Aurora Society, and it was also what Lin Tiankuo wanted from me."

"Ah, you are Director Simmons? Xi..., Major Lin asked me to give you something before he left.

As for this machine, it was given to me by Major Lin, but you can take a look if you want."

"What does he want to give me?" Director Simmons asked curiously.

"This is it." Frey led everyone to a corner where there was a large object covered with cloth. When they opened it, it turned out to be a dolphin backpack.

"The major said that this is a gift for Orb, and that the cooperation between the two sides must be kept secret. Director Simmons, Kira can help you with what you want."

"This is?"

"This is the Dolphin Backpack, an underwater combat backpack. The interface on the back of the M1 Heretic can be slightly modified and connected. After connecting the backpack, the M1 Heretic can become an underwater MS that is no less powerful than Gunn.

Here are the instructions.”

Lin Chu considerately gave Simmons a copy of the instruction manual, fearing that Simmons would not take the Dolphin backpack seriously.

Simmons took it and read it quickly. After reading it, she felt that all her anger had disappeared. This backpack was so powerful. A machine like M1 Heretic, which had no combat power at all, could fight Gunn with the backpack installed. Even if M1 Heretic was retired later, the new machine could use this backpack.

Simmons' anger was immediately relieved by this backpack. It is really a good thing.

Then Simmons got on the Shrike Heresy and found that although the OS was also very well modified, it was obviously not something that ordinary people could operate. After she got off, she looked at Frey suspiciously.

"You're really not an adjuster? Can you operate this machine?"

"She drove very well just now." Mu praised.

"I'm not an adjuster. Thanks to Major Lin for helping me, I may just be a little different from ordinary people."

Everyone on the Archangel was also very surprised, and Saiyi looked at the unfamiliar Frey and didn't know what to say. However, Frey didn't want to say anything after saying this, because the system contract forced confidentiality.

No one asked Major Lin what he had done to help Frey anymore. Only Bucky Lulu was speechless. She thought that maybe he had done something with other women again that she didn't know about. She would definitely twist Lin Chu's ears off next time.

"Okay, then..." Simmons' eyes were fixed on Kira. It was you, the young strike pilot. You are very good at intelligence in East Asia. This person should be the one who can help him make the most suitable OS for ordinary people.

Uzumi finally arrived at the Dawn Society, met with Archangel No. Mariu and others, comforted them with a few words, and explained his purpose.

The purpose of both parties has long been clear. It is not just to save Cagalli. Orb needs the help of Strike and Kira, and the Archangel needs to be repaired.

Bakilulu was unwilling to let Orb obtain the information about the Assault and Archangel, even though Lin Chu had said before that the Atlantic Federation Army had been controlled by Blue Universe and became a tool to massacre the Adjusters.

But she still has feelings for the Atlantic Federation. Her sense of belonging as a soldier tells her to be loyal to the Atlantic Federation and work hard to change anything that is not good.

However, although she objected at first, she could not resist the support of Malu and Mu, so she did not say anything, but she kept another account of Lin Chu in her heart.

Kira drove the Strike away from the Archangel and headed for the Aurora factory, and the Archangel also began to rest and replenish.

the other side.

“Mission accomplished.

Gain a chance to select a talent without level."

After the ZAFT army retreated and the Archangel was escorted by Orb's fleet into the Dawn Society's island, the system's voice sounded.

At this time, Lin Chu was already on his way to the Equatorial Union and the East Asian Republic's submarine forces to reunite.

Before the battle began, he had already told Frey and Bakilulu that he was leaving and that the Archangel would have to stay in Orb for a while.

If I go to the Dawn Society, I might be caught by Simmons. I believe that if I give her a dolphin backpack, she won't be so angry. It is more important to hurry back to East Asia.

He now had to go back to East Asia to get the Morning Star Base back on track, and by the way, use his talent sharing talent to find a contract partner there to become the scientific research brain behind the base.

Since you have decided to help the East Asian Republic rise, you must be more dedicated. There may not be anyone in East Asia who can take the lead in developing the information and drawings that you have asked people to bring back.

There is no top talent in MS research in East Asia. All the talents have been poached by the Atlantic Federation. In addition, Blue Universe is an extremist organization that will target you as long as you want talent. There are also relatively few adjusters on the East Asian Republic side due to domestic policy and concept issues.

Because of this, the East Asian Republic has been unable to develop. The struggle for interests within the Earth Federation has never stopped, and the Atlantic Federation wants to suppress the East Asian Republic.

The Morning Star Base of the East Asian Republic must be put into operation as soon as possible so that he can follow the Archangel with peace of mind.
