Char's Decision!
Chapter 1856 Char's Decision!
Upon hearing this, Xia Ya gave a wry smile.
"Colonel Ming, do you have precognitive abilities?"
"No. I have no precognitive abilities. I just said it casually back then, and I never expected it to become a reality."
He Ming shook his head, walked to the conference table, pulled out a chair, and sat down as he spoke.
"What a coincidence!" No sooner had he finished speaking than Char Aznable from the future appeared before us with Neo Zeon and dropped an asteroid onto that floating continent.
Although Char had calmed down, he still felt it was utterly absurd.
The present-day self unexpectedly sees the future self arriving in the present with an army from the future, and declaring that they will banish all humanity on Earth to the universe.
Although this declaration had vaguely surfaced in Char's mind, it was only in its nascent stage. Or perhaps, he could still place his hopes on certain people or things.
"Just now, Lala said that Char is very sad inside."
Xia hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glance with Lala, and then looked at He Ming and said, word by word.
"Sad? Maybe!"
He Ming shifted his gaze to the clear blue sky outside the window.
"If Char Aznable were to experience the life of Char Aznable who led Neo Zeon, his life would perhaps be even more tragic and dark."
Char's expression changed, and his eyes involuntarily turned to Lala, who was sitting gently beside him.
"Colonel Ming, are you saying that Xia Ya doesn't have any Lala by his side?"
"You can ask Lala about this. Actually, when Amaterasu appeared, Lala may have already seen some memories from the other side of time, right?"
He Ming calmly stated a fact.
There was a fact that Lala Shin already knew, but had kept from Char.
"Lala, did you really see that?"
Xia was taken aback, his expression shifting several times, but he gradually calmed down and looked at Lala, asking her a question.
"Yes, Colonel. I saw some images, images of another lesbian experiencing the One Year War. Just before the war ended, this other lesbian, to save her Colonel Char, selflessly used herself as a shield to block a Gundam..."
Lala paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but continued speaking anyway.
"He blocked a fatal blow from Amuro Ray and died on the spot. The Char Aznable who witnessed this scene lost his Lala Shin and continued to be entangled with his rival and enemy Amuro Ray for many years."
After Lala told everyone about the memories from another Lala Sin in a light but increasingly heavy voice, everyone fell silent.
Char, who shares the same name as the central figure connected to this memory, remained silent for a long time before letting out a slow sigh.
"Perhaps I should feel fortunate. My Lala Singh did not die in the One Year War, but has been with me to this day."
"Compared to him, I am lucky."
Char looked up at the blue sky outside the window, and a hint of emotion gradually appeared in his eyes. He then placed his hands over Lala's hands.
"cough."
Unexpectedly, He Ming's voice interrupted this beautiful moment. A hint of displeasure flashed in Xia Ya's eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
The Colonel Ming standing before him was someone he could not afford to offend.
Whether as the commander of the Punishment Bureau or as his sister Artesia's superior, these are identities that he cannot contend with.
"Don't blame me for being clueless. I just want to ask you one question: what do you want to do now?"
He Ming tapped the table and said in a deep voice.
"Now that you know about the other Char's experiences from Lala, what are your thoughts? Jamitov has taken his Titans to space, attempting to compete with us for Earth Federation resources in a way that rivals Neo Zeon."
He Ming leaned back in his chair and smiled confidently.
“Punishment is nothing to fear from Djamitov’s little tricks, but what about you, and the Valley? What should you do?”
Xia knew that He Ming was forcing him to resign, but it was also the moment he had to resolve the situation quickly and come up with a solution.
Will "Punishment" travel to the universe?
"Yes, but not now. Do you know about that floating continent that was hit by the asteroid? It's being invaded by the BETA, and their ambassador has officially requested assistance from the Earth Federation."
He Ming revealed information related to that floating continent.
"In terms of sentiment, although it was a coincidence, that floating continent did indeed bear the brunt of this unavoidable blow for the Eurasian continent of the Earth Federation, helping the Earth Federation avoid major losses and the subsequent post-disaster problems. This is an indelible debt of gratitude."
"From a public perspective, as a floating continent that may become a new member of the Earth Federation, it has vast land and corresponding resources, and its market can also provide the Earth Federation with good economic prospects."
"Therefore, both morally and logically, the Earth Federation must send a force to help the floating continent eliminate the threat from BETA."
Upon hearing this, Char already knew about the Earth Federation's upcoming arrangements.
"Therefore, Punishment, as the Earth Federation Forces with the most experience in BETA extermination, became the only option."
He nodded.
"Yes. But, in my opinion, it won't last long. Because the Earth Federation Forces need to establish a stronger, more ruthless image. The BETA on that floating continent is the perfect target."
"Is the Federation Army going to launch a large-scale operation?"
Xia's eyes widened in surprise, then he gradually realized what was going on.
"Could it be that the Earth Federation Forces headquarters—no, that General Gop—has already begun preparing for a full-scale war in the future?"
He Ming stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the table, then said seriously.
"I don't know. But I do know that there is only one Punishment. Regardless of whether Punishment is expanded or not, the Earth Federation will always face a problem in the future. That is, whether Punishment can meet the needs of multi-front operations, or whether the first batch of Earth Federation troops who encounter the extradimensional monsters can hold out until the moment Punishment arrives to provide support."
"Really? You want to use this opportunity to train your troops? That's a very good opportunity."
Xia thought about it and gradually came up with an idea.
"Then, the Valley will travel to space to seek an opportunity to confront Neo Zeon."
Char readily agreed, or perhaps he wanted to see for himself what Char Aznable from the future looked like now, and what his determination was!
