"What? You want to transfer the Fafner troops?" Makabe Fumihiko looked at Huang in shock.

"Yes, according to the next plan, the Fafner troops on Ryugu Island need to be split and assigned to other fleets to ensure the safety of the external exploration fleet, especially Mk Sein (existence) and Mark Nicht (non-existence), which are the most important trump cards." Huang said to Makabe Fumihiko seriously.

Makabe Fumihiko was a little embarrassed. The Fafner troops had left Ryugu Island before. During the first [Sky Operation] and the Srinagar rescue operation, the Fafner troops on Ryugu Island were all dispatched, and there was no defense force on the island.

But... this time is different from the previous one. Before, they just went out to perform combat missions. Although it was dangerous, after the operation, the Fafner troops still had to return to Ryugu Island. Moreover, in the two times they went out to fight, the Fafner troops were subordinate to Ryugu Island. Now, the Fafner troops were split and assigned to the fleet of the Promise Legion. Makabe Fumihiko was sure that this was like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there was no return!

Although they have reached a deep cooperation with the Promise Corps, it has not been decided whether they will eventually belong to the Promise Fortress, and many people on the island have expressed opposition because they only want to live a peaceful life and are not so interested in the excitement of the infinite world.

The same is true for Fumihiko Makabe. As the general manager of Ryugu Island, he naturally has to consider the wishes of the islanders. Even he himself is not very willing to join the Promise Fortress to continue fighting.

But... Yang Hui has made it very clear before that this world will definitely be connected to the Promise Fortress, and the human civilization of this world must be rebuilt with the support of other worlds.

If... Fumihiko Makabe is thinking that if... there are other human refugees surviving in other parts of the earth, then... Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island are no longer the only choices for the Promise Corps. Another point is that Fumihiko Makabe knows very well that Poseidon Island will definitely agree to join the Promise Fortress, because the Fafna troops of Poseidon Island are originally soldiers, and most of the residents on the island are military families.

At that time, if Ryugu Island explicitly rejects the invitation of the Promise Corps and continues to be independent from the world, hiding in the sea and living an isolated life, the cooperative relationship between the Promise Corps and Ryugu Island is likely to break down, and the object of their cooperation will become Poseidon Island or other human forces, or... the Promise Corps will establish a human force of their own.

In this way, the position of Ryugu Island will be very embarrassing, and the possibility of the two sides fighting in the future cannot be ruled out.

The Fafna Corps is the important reason why Makabe Fumio has been unable to make a decision, and it is also his greatest reliance. The strength of the Fafna Corps is definitely not weak, especially the two savior-type Fafna. Even if the Promise Corps intends to attack Ryugu Island, it will have to pay a heavy price.

And now, Huang told him that he was unwilling to take away his greatest reliance.

But... can he refuse?

"Commander Makabe, I know exactly what you are thinking." The emperor saw Makabe Fumihiko's reaction, and he said coldly, "With the situation at this point, it is impossible for Ryugu Island to stay out of it. No matter what the final outcome of Ryugu Island is, it must first overcome the current crisis and eliminate the foreign Festum tribe. You agreed to incorporate all the military forces of Ryugu Island into the command system of the Promise Corps, so... this is an order, not a request. The discussion is just a face-saving statement for you."

The emperor's words are very strong. Although Promise Fortress advocates mutual understanding and peace and stability, it is not good-tempered to everyone, such as Blue Cosmos and [LOGOS] in the Gundam SEED world, and the Principality of Zeon in the Gundam UC world.

If it is a force worth winning over, you can be gentle, but if you don't know how to appreciate it, there are also coercive means.

"In the future, even if we successfully eliminate the foreign Festum and survive this crisis, Ryugu Island will be just an ordinary island. We will not care whether you want to escape from the world or enter the world, but... with the power of Fafner, do you think we will ignore it?" Huang continued. The stability of the world must have a unified regime and a unified military force, and no unofficial armed forces are allowed to exist.

Ryugu Island has Fafner troops and the manufacturing technology of Heroic Spirit and Savior Fafner. Such forces must be controlled or eliminated. There is no third way to choose.

"We just want to live in peace and will not take the initiative to start a war..."

"It's okay now, but what about the future?"

The cold words speak the most accurate reality. Makabe Fumihiko's generation came from the Neon Crisis and just wanted a peaceful life. Makabe Ikki's generation grew up in a tragic war. Even when the war was tragic, they would not take the initiative to start a fight, but... what about the next generation? What about the next generation? Will there be ambitious people who are unwilling to remain silent?

What? Time? Haha, the thing that Promise Fortress and Promise Legion lack the least is time!

"We..."

"I agree." Makabe Fumihiko wanted to say something, but Minagi Orihime, the star core of Ryugu Island, made the decision directly. She was the star core of the island and had the right to decide everything on the island. Her status was even higher than that of the commander Makabe Fumihiko.

The reason why the emperor did not talk to Minagi Orihime but to Makabe Fumihiko was because Minagi Orihime was not a human being and could not represent humans. At the same time, he also hoped that Makabe Fumihiko could truly understand and make the right decision.

Minagi Orihime also understood this, so she did not interrupt. As a result, Makabe Fumihiko was still indecisive. If he continued, it was likely that there would be a gap between Ryugu Island and the Promise Legion, so Minagi Orihime stood up and made the decision.

"Orihime Minajo! You..."

"Your rebuttal is meaningless, Fumihiko." Orihime Minajo said to Fumihiko Makabe in the most serious and earnest tone, "We had no right to refuse from the beginning. Don't forget that the other party has done a lot for the island."

"We also paid a price!"

"This price is less than one-tenth of what you get, and the support in your hand is becoming less and less useful as time goes by." Orihime Minajo pointed out the key point.

Yes, the Fafner Army and the Savior Fafner are indeed powerful, but with the Promise Corps getting the relevant technology, the appearance of the [Dawn Series] and [Rising Sun Series], how much of a threat can the Fafner Army's trump card still play?

Apart from other things, the Promise Corps already has [Flag Abschneiden (Cut)], and the four MSs [Dawn Gundam], [Luna Gundam], Angel of Destruction, and Hell Angel have completed the transformation and are waiting to be awakened, and there are more bodies in the process of transformation.

As time goes by, there will be more and more [Dawn Series] that have successfully awakened, and there will be more and more [Sunrise Series] that are equal to the Heroic Spirit Fafner.

With the same power, the number of opponents will only increase. At that time... how useful will your reliance be? How convincing will your threats be?

"But the Festum core and Festum factor..."

"It will no longer be exclusive to us. Even the New United Nations can research the [Makabe factor] from Ikki's blood. Why can't they do it?"

"..."

"Also, just now, Mjolnir has reached a formal affiliation agreement with Yang Hui, and Poseidon Island has made the same decision." Minajo Orihime threw another heavy hammer. With the help of the Festum tribe, will the Promise Legion still lack the Festum core and Festum factor?

"But, the islanders..."

"That's your business, Makabe Fumihiko." Huang did not address Makabe Fumihiko with honorifics, but called him by his name directly. "You are the highest leader of Ryugu Island. It is right to care about the islanders and serve them, but you should not become their slaves. A week later, if the attack of the foreign Festum does not occur, the external exploration fleet will set off. You still have a week to decide. If... you choose to refuse, then the Promise Corps will immediately terminate all cooperation with Ryugu Island. There is no room for negotiation."

After saying that, Huang left. Although he verbally gave Makabe Fumihiko the opportunity to choose, it was a threat. Now the threat of the foreign Festum has not been eliminated. Once Ryugu Island and the Promise Corps terminate all cooperation, the Fafna troops can indeed be retained, but they are not qualified to continue to stay in the Srinagar area, nor are they qualified to continue to receive the help and protection of the Promise Corps.

In such a critical moment, Ryugu Island can only survive on its own. Once it encounters a large-scale Festum attack, it can only rely on itself to protect itself, but...

If it is the scale before, Ryugu Island will not have any chance of luck, and... that scale is just a cat and mouse game, just the extent of the game, then they are likely to face a larger-scale attack and it is even more impossible to survive.

"Shi Yan, promise them that this is the decision of the star core and the island. As for the islanders, you can figure it out yourself." Minashiro Orihime said. As the star core, she can control everything on the island, including all the equipment of [Alvis] and even the successful [cavalry type] drone. If the residents of the island still firmly oppose it, then she will expel these opponents from the island for the sake of the entire island.

Makabe Shi Yan, who was left alone, lowered his head and clenched his fists. He was very angry and unwilling, but... helpless.

...

"They will agree."

"Yes, they have no choice."

After leaving, the emperor reported the situation to Yang Hui. At the same time, Wang Liumei also connected the communication, and the three held a small video conference.

Compared to the "unclear-headed" people on Ryugu Island, Wang Liumei's negotiations with Poseidon Island were smooth sailing. After proposing the requirements of the Promith Legion, Jonathan Mitsuhiro Bartlan and Star Core Emily agreed immediately. On the one hand, the residents of Poseidon Island were not the indigenous people of the island, and originally belonged to the normal human society; on the other hand, they saw very clearly that they had no choice from the beginning, and it was better to agree directly than to make both parties unhappy.
