In the following time, except for He Ming personally inviting Halbarton to visit the solar power generation system of Tianzhi Yuzhu, He Ming entrusted the reception task to Li Xuan, the special envoy.
He Ming believed that his diplomatic skills were not as professional as the envoy Li Xuan.
If He Ming had known that from the beginning, the envoy wanted to do what he did and assign the task of receiving Halbarton to himself, I am afraid he would have withdrawn his praise for Li Xuan, the envoy.
After leaving the trouble to Li Xuan, He Ming also set foot on the Archangel again.
But this time, his goal was not to reunite with Natal Bajilulu again, but to reach someone he could not see last time and missed for some reason.
After grabbing a random person in the corridor and asking, He Ming learned that except for the soldiers originally affiliated with the Earth Alliance, all other Orb citizens who boarded the Archangel in Heliopolis had received a copy.
Letter of intent, asking them if they are willing to return to Orb's homeland, or go to other colonial satellites under Orb's arrangement.
As for the boys and girls who joined the Earth Alliance because of the critical situation and helped the Archangel out of crisis, they also received such a letter of intent.
Walking casually along the aisle inside the Archangel, He Ming suddenly saw a group of boys and girls gathering together, discussing something in a low voice.
Several of these boys and girls held the letter of intent in their hands.
He Ming glanced at it and landed on a girl wearing a pink dress with her long burgundy hair tied up.
Although it was an unfamiliar face, such conspicuous features made it easy for He Ming to guess that this girl in a pink dress was the very controversial character - Frey Alsta.
From the way she stood next to the young man wearing brown glasses and an Earth Alliance sergeant's uniform, laughing happily and pointing at the letter of intent in the young man's hand, He Ming knew that the current Frey - Alsta
It did not suffer the rough fate of the original work.
At this time, when a figure appeared from the other side of the aisle, the other party also saw He Ming looking at the boy and girl, and he recognized He Ming's identity.
"Nice to meet you! Lieutenant Colonel He. I am George Alstad, United Earth Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs."
The man who took the initiative to say hello showed a grateful smile.
"Thanks to the helping hand extended by Lieutenant Colonel He, we were able to escape the pursuit of the ZAFT fleet."
"This is what I should do. You're welcome, Your Excellency, Vice Minister."
After He Ming saluted, he once again turned his attention to the group of boys and girls.
"Where is your beloved daughter?"
Hearing what He Ming said, the smile on George Alsta's face suddenly grew a little brighter.
"Yes! My daughter Frey Alstar was also able to escape the crisis thanks to the help of Lieutenant Colonel He. I heard all this from Captain Malu."
After a pause, George Alsta suddenly remembered something.
"Oh. By the way. I'm very sorry! Lieutenant Colonel He, I remembered something that must be dealt with immediately! We will talk later."
As soon as he finished speaking, George Alsta pointed to the other end of the corridor.
"Although I don't know if my guess is correct, the person Lieutenant Colonel He is looking for may be over there in Gnaku."
"oh?"
He Ming raised his eyebrows.
"If that's the case, I'd like to thank you, Vice Minister."
George Alsta laughed, waved his hand towards He Ming, then turned and walked towards Frey Alsta's group of boys and girls.
When He Ming came to Gnaku according to George Alsta's tip, he really saw the figure he was looking for, standing in front of the cockpit of the Strike Gundam.
thin figure,
handsome face,
And the melancholic temperament lingering around me,
He is the person he is looking for this time, Kira Yamato.
"A very good machine, aren't you right?"
He Ming stepped onto the elevator and stood beside the young man, looking at the Strike Gundam in front of him with him.
"you···"
The young man was startled. When he turned around, he also saw the officer's uniform on He Ming and the rank representing lieutenant colonel.
"Hug, sorry! Lieutenant Colonel."
He Ming waved his hand, signaling Kira not to panic.
"What is my name? I heard that you are the pilot Kira Yamato who made this mobile suit move, right?"
"What...what's your name, what's your name, lieutenant colonel?!"
Kira was still a little unfamiliar at first, but his strong memory instantly made Kira react.
"You, you were the one who saved the Archangel that time in Artemis, as well as the Lieutenant Colonel who just blocked the ZAFT fleet?"
Seeing Kira's shocked expression, He Ming actually laughed out loud.
"No. That's just an ordinary mission. There's no need to be so surprised. Kira Yamato."
"A common task?"
Unexpectedly, Kira suddenly fell into silence after hearing He Ming's words that he regarded a fierce battle of that level as an ordinary task.
After experiencing the battle personally, Kira realized how extraordinary the ordinary mission He Ming said was.
In that kind of fierce battle, those involved can only end up killing or being killed.
"Surprised?"
He Ming saw Kira's thoughts.
"um, yes."
Kira hesitated.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you seem... very used to it..."
"Fight? Or rather, kill, right?"
He Ming replied with a serious expression.
Kira opened her mouth and then nodded.
"Hmm. Which explanation do you want to hear?"
What's the name? Kira was stunned.
"Which...what kind of explanation?"
"Are you surprised?"
He Ming laughed.
"No matter how high-sounding the reason is, it will be wiped out the moment you step into the battlefield. What is left is nothing more than life and death. As for thinking about the meaning of the battle, it is just the power of the winner."
"Losing the battle means that any meaning will become nothingness and disappear on the battlefield together with life."
“···”
Kira fell silent again.
For this young man who is forced to embark on the battlefield, this will be a lifelong problem.
However, He Ming didn't want to see Kira continue to struggle with this aspect.
He Ming raised his hand and patted Kira on the shoulder.
"Although this orbital space station has become the main station of the solar power generation system, there is still a management team from Orb stationed here. You and your friends can get off the Archangel here, return to Orb's homeland, and return to Orb.
Or go to other colonial satellites to continue living and live peacefully."
Kira heard the words and slowly raised his head.
"Can the current war between the Earth United and ZAFT allow us to live peacefully?"
He Ming saw the expectation in Kira's eyes.
Even if He Ming tells a lie the next second so that he can continue to live peacefully, I believe Kira will choose to believe it.
However, He Ming will not be like this.
"No. The war will not end. Because, this war has no possibility of ending from the beginning. The war between the Earth United and ZAFT will never come to an end. Unless, one of the two parties
Either side will fall completely."
He Ming said and pointed outside.
"But, here, there is an opportunity that can bring the war to an end. Moreover, this opportunity does not require you to participate in this war again. Do you understand? Kira Yamato."
"Here, the opportunity?!"
Kira frowned slightly, and the next second, he looked at He Ming in sudden realization.
"Lieutenant Colonel He, you mean the solar power generation system?!"
"That's right!"
