Chapter 126: Reaction
Alliance Orbital Elevator Space Station.
A private spaceship was slowly sailing out of the spaceport. This spaceship, which could carry nearly a hundred people, belonged to Kona's private travel tool.
Usually, Kona also used this spaceship to entertain some celebrities to hold space banquets, but on this spaceship, which was usually bustling, there were only Kona and Ribbons.
Ribbons was sitting in the main pilot seat of the spaceship, manipulating the spaceship.
And Kona was in the co-pilot seat, listening to the reports of his subordinates through video.
Nagula Habei, President of the Orbital Elevator Company, a big shot who could sit on equal footing even when meeting with ministers of various countries.
Now, however, he was bowing and scraping to Kona like a servant, apologizing: "I am really very sorry, the Trinity reports that while searching for Li Boyong and Shihe Hafunisi, they were attacked by the Angel. According to the report from Johann who escaped, Zwei was shot down, pilot Michael Trinity died on the spot, Drei was captured, pilot Nena Trinity's whereabouts are unknown. The only survivor, Eins, also suffered heavy damage and needs a period of time for maintenance."
"Idiot!"
Hearing Nagula's report, the usually suave Kona was furious.
Originally thought it was just a simple mission, but it resulted in the loss of two Gundams, which would have a huge impact on his plan!
He had already arranged everything, just needing the Trinity to continue attacking the military machines of various countries, which would force the countries into a desperate situation.
And by that time, he could rely on the thirty solar furnace-equipped machines he had prepared long ago to appear as a savior and personally guide the unification of the world.
On the other hand, he was preparing to go with Ribbons to explore the location of Veda's main body. At that time, as long as he successfully controlled Veda, he could control both the world and Celestial Being, achieving the long-cherished wish of the Kona family.
But it was precisely at this time that the idle move of seizing beam weapon technology and subduing Wang Liumei suffered such a setback.
How could he not be angry?
"How could this kind of thing happen?"
Kona asked angrily: "Even if the Angel came to attack, there was only one Gundam of the previous generation, how could it suffer such losses?"
"This, this..."
Nagula took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "According to Johann Trinity's report, the two Flags displayed extremely strong combat capabilities, and even once suppressed the three Gundams..."
Nagula's voice became smaller and smaller, because even he himself didn't believe this kind of rhetoric.
However, according to the combat records, Johann Trinity's report was true and credible.
"Are you fooling me, Nagula Habei?"
Kona's forehead jumped with blue veins after listening to this explanation.
"Absolutely not dare, this is the combat record on Eins, I will send it to you now." 【126-25
Saying this, Nagula transmitted the combat records from over the Pacific at that time to Kona.
After finishing the combat records, Kona fell into silence.
Was that really the performance a Flag could unleash?
Li Boyong and Shihe Hafunis, who exactly are these two people?
Moreover, Celestial Being actually acted without Veda's orders, and even attacked the Trinity that Veda had acknowledged.
"Could it be that this is also part of Aeolia Schenberg's plan?"
Kona fell into self-doubt.
Ribbons, the permission-dog on the side, knew very well that this was not the case, but the appearance of Li Boyong and Shihe Hafunis was indeed very strange.
Especially that beam weapon technology; it was clearly technology that would require a team to exhaust countless resources and time to research, yet it appeared out of thin air in the hands of that woman, Shihe Hafunis.
However, even so, it did not affect the overall situation; as long as Veda was controlled, minor accidents were nothing.
"Lord Kona, I do not believe that is the case." Ribbons advised Kona: "According to my understanding, this is not in Aeolia Schenberg's plan."
"Then how do you explain this accident?"
Kona said irritably.
"I admit this is indeed an accident in our plan, but please calm down and think; it actually does not affect the overall situation." Ribbons explained patiently: "The excellent situation that the Kona family has laid out for generations will not suffer an accident because of this small mishap."
"The military facilities of various countries have already suffered indiscriminate strikes by the Trinity, and the world's hatred for Gundams is rising day by day."
"And the various countries do not know that the Trinity has lost two Gundams; facing the high-pressure force of Celestial Being's seven Gundams, a military alliance between the countries is already inevitable, and the Trinity's utility value can be said to be negligible."
"Next, as long as you control Veda, then everything in this world will be in your grasp."
Listening to Ribbons' analysis, Kona gradually calmed down.
"You are quite right."
He slowly exhaled and praised: "You really are my little angel."
Then, having regained his usual composure, Kona instructed Nagula: "Although it is earlier than scheduled, you should start proceeding according to the plan on your end; provide GN Drive-equipped machines to the Human Reform League, AEU, and the Union, and facilitate a military alliance among the three great nation groups."
"Yes, I will start making arrangements immediately."
"Go."
Cutting off the communication with Nagula, Kona then instructed Ribbons: "With this, Nagula's mission is complete; leave the aftermath to you to arrange."
"Understood. How about using that mercenary from before?"
Although Kona said to leave things to him, Ribbons still asked cautiously.
"Let's do that."
Kona waved his hand impatiently, revealing a satisfied smile.
He looked at the scenery outside the window, his heart overflowing with anticipation.
It is finally about to be realized, the long-cherished wish of our Kona clan.
The unification of the world will be guided to completion by me, Alejandro Kona.

L1, a certain space sector.
Celestial Being's Gundam transport mothership, Ptolemaios, was sailing quietly in this space sector.
And in the conference room of Ptolemaios, Sumeragi Lee Noriega and the four Gundam Meisters were watching the battle between the three Thrones, two Flags, and the Goddess Gundam.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that guy Li Boyong a bit too ridiculously strong?"
Watching the Flag on the screen forcefully suppressing two Gundams, Lockon couldn't help but complain.
"That woman named Shihe Hafunis is also very strong."
Setsuna, who was always taciturn, added.
"Is that the point?"
Alejandro smiled bitterly, "Shouldn't we be concerned about the suddenly appearing Angel organization, and our future actions?"
"I know about the information on Angel; I'm sorry for keeping it from you all this time." Sumeragi said, "However, Angel has always only provided us with support actions from behind the scenes; I don't know why they took action against the Trinity this time."
"However, I believe their actions are correct." Setsuna, who was always taciturn, was unexpectedly talkative today, "I cannot accept that actions like those of the Trinity are worthy of the name Gundam."
"Rarely do I agree with you." Tieria, who found Setsuna very unpleasant, rarely agreed with Setsuna's judgment.
"If I have to say, I actually have the same feeling." Lockon added with a grin.
"Alright, me too."
Seeing everyone's gazes turn toward him, Alejandro, the Gundam Meister who hadn't expressed his stance, smiled bitterly and stated his position.
"It seems everyone is in agreement." Sumeragi concluded: "But perhaps we should discuss our next actions now.
Because of the Trinity's indiscriminate armed intervention during this period, the world is full of malice toward us; in this situation, is it really suitable to continue armed intervention?"
"Of course, as long as we are still Gundam Meisters, we will not stop our actions until we achieve the goal of eradicating war." Tieria was the first to state his position.
The other three Meisters also agreed with Tieria's point of view one after another.
"Very well, then the next question is how to view Li Boyong and Shihe Hafunis, who have already defected from the organization."
