Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 281 Ambush ([-])

"So the situation is like this. The mission of this ship will be changed from chasing the unknown ship No. [-] to investigating the situation of Junius. During this period, all pilots will cooperate with the maintenance team to maintain the body. The warship launched detection first, and the Sala team from the mainland is also on the way to support us, this time we won’t be fighting alone.”

Kuratis's order directly caused a commotion in the entire ship. Many people still felt a little bit worried about giving up the pursuit mission, because the Phantom Pain gang not only snatched three Gundams, but also indirectly Ruined Minerva's launching ceremony.

The "Goddess of Wisdom", which was given high hopes and was supposed to shine in Lacus's singing, is now on the verge of falling to the level of "joke". The first show was raided, but the pursuit battle did not achieve any results. On the contrary, the victories were exported by Qilian again, and the boat and the speaker almost sank on their own territory. This kind of victories somewhat made some arrogant adjusters feel a little ashamed.

But the significance of Junius is also self-evident to PLANT. If it is because of other reasons, it is okay to say that now because of an abnormality in this special landmark, as the ZAFT unit closest to the debris, it is also necessary to take a look. Not to mention the idol of all PLANT, that Aslan Salah will also lead his team to make his official debut for the first time in two years.

Under Durandal's deliberate guidance, the traffic originally contracted by Lacus alone is now slowly transitioning to Aslan.Many young people who only liked Lux ​​in the past now regard Aslan as an idol, and the phenomenon of "one-tweeting and double-tweeting" among fans is the result that Durandal likes to see.

There is no other reason. Hero idolization has always been an extremely sensitive method. Looking back on the entire 71-year war, Aslan stood firm and never turned back. Even if it was discovered that the Justice Gundam was on the Eternal in JachinDue, it was also because of the meteor On the Eternity, Aslan boarded his fiancée's thief ship to save countless adjuster compatriots, not to mention that after Mia was born, Durandal was acquitted of Lacus's treason, so Aslan's behavior changed. It became "I took time to see my fiancee on the way to save the country", and the whole style immediately changed from collaborating with the enemy to being romantic.

This kind of Aslan-Sara, after the war, naturally absorbed his father’s political legacy. In order to offset Orb’s fanfare in promoting his hero, many ZAFT insiders once wanted to make Aslan a PLANT. The heroes came to fight against each other, but Durandal drew the ladder at this time.

He not only revoked Aslan's position in ZAFT, but also moved him from the position about to be promoted to the position of Baiyi to the position of LFWY.

Not only that, but he also gave speeches in public many times, claiming that he hoped to see the scene of Aslan and Lacus getting married as soon as possible.

But since then, Aslan has rarely been referred to as the "hero of PLANT". Many newcomers like Luna Kazuma can only see Justice Gundam in the teaching video , the distance between Aslan and the general public was further artificially torn apart.

However, Aslan is not a "lazy dog" like Kira. Behind him are many old and young of the Sara faction. This time the fragment of Junius is an excellent opportunity. Silan had the opportunity to form a team to carry out the task, but some people in the council brought up the reason of 'Renoya Sarah', as a son of man, to go to his mother's tombstone to express condolences. Even Durandal couldn't refuse this reason openly.

Therefore, after two years away from the battlefield, Aslan finally got the chance to make a move. Considering that the current contract has not completely expired, ZAFT cannot allow him to launch the Justice Gundam in a grand manner. Siegfried guessed that his landline has a high probability of being That red savior is gone.

After listening to the briefing in the conference room as a 'temporary non-staff', the first thing Siegfried had to figure out was the time to leave the ship.Aslan is the only insider who has seen his real person in PLANT right now. It's fine to deceive strangers with the mask. Durandal is obviously already suspicious. He is really going to be discovered by Aslan in the follow-up contact. It seems that it's no big deal.

What gave Siegfried his confidence was the second news from Kuratis that Orb had already dispatched two warships, the Archangel and the Izumo, to the location of the fragments first. If the fragments were confirmed If the deviation is not large, Orb will completely push this piece out of the solar system. If the debris shift is irreversible, Orb will choose to completely smash the Junius 7, and Mina sent a notice to PLANT, rather than an inquiry book.

Originally, the irreversible fall of the fragments was due to the fact that Minerva arrived too late and there was phantom pain in the crushing operation to delay the progress, which led to the unsmooth progress of the entire cutting plan.But this time Orb's reaction was extremely quick. According to Kuratis' prediction, they could arrive at the scene before Minerva.

And the appearance of the Archangel is tantamount to an invisible deterrent. Any fool knows that it must be equipped with combat troops. Maybe Siegfried and Kira may be on it. , so even if there is an attack during the decomposition operation, if there are fewer people, they will deliver food to Orb. If there are too many people, it is impossible to hide until today without being discovered.

In addition, Mina asked the waste dealer on Genesis α to give an explanation through the excuse of "ineffective observation". It is clear that her warning was sent out more than half a month earlier, why no one took it seriously, and now she is stabbing her. It's like questioning Mina's IQ if such a big waste dealer wants to get away with it.

At the same time when Mina launched an attack, Lars, who had not set off from the earth, contacted Lolita of Snaketail. The content of the conversation was whether Snaketail would be interested in taking Genesis α as a stronghold. For the fortress, expanding enrollment is also a good choice.

Lolita immediately said that this matter was too involved, and she needed to consult with the team members before making a decision. After half a day, the contact person became Li De, that difficult guy.This greasy uncle seems to have a natural negotiating skill, constantly testing Russ's bottom line and showing his extremely proficient skills in asking for prices.

After Li De received the news, he combined the information in his hands and came up with a deduction that shocked him, that is, Orb was about to open up the country.And the first goal was Genesis α, and the reason is very simple. Uzmi has only been dead for two years, and the slogan of "don't invade other countries, don't be invaded by other countries" is still in my ears.

At the same time, the current national power in the Earth sphere is still relatively stable. It is impossible for Orb to forcibly annex his allies at the risk of smashing the signboard. The United States of South America, which produces minerals and food, may fall into the camp of East Asia.

Therefore, Orb set his sights on the universe, and it is necessary to open up a second cosmic fulcrum outside the pillar of the sky, then nothing can be an ideal base than the Genesis α made of a PS armor.
