Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 602: A halo, but also a shackle ()

In Ptolemy's briefing room, Mei Ling glanced at Masuo cautiously. After getting an encouraging look from the other party, she turned her gaze back to Siegfried, whose murderous intent was about to materialize.

"Meiling, please continue talking and don't care about my emotions."

After the client personally promised, Mei Ling carefully listed the information she had obtained in front of everyone.

It turns out that on the third day after Washington was hit with weapons of mass destruction, the Federation of People's Revolutionaries sent a diplomatic note to PLANT.

Just like the sergeants who blocked the road a few minutes ago, the attack method of the satellite microwave cannon is so PLANT that even the Council itself immediately started self-examination, fearing that some blind bastard was doing it secretly. There was a big wave.

If the blame is really taken, even if the People's Revolutionary Revolutionary League will not completely destroy the entire PLANT satellite group, tearing up the armistice agreement and switching from political restraint to military restraint is simply a certainty.

Out of prudent considerations, the People's Revolutionary League took the lead in issuing a diplomatic note before the Tianren investigation was concluded.

Because the current situation is very delicate, although PLANT's backbone has been broken, the People's Revolutionary League itself has many problems that it has not had time to solve.

This includes the reception and redistribution of the LOGOS legacy and the follow-up arrangements for the Americas strategy. If PLANT is really pushed to the point of jumping over the wall, the situation will be a complete lose-lose for the Human Revolutionary Alliance.

And one of the reasons why Copernicus City can maintain neutrality is that they do not have their own army, only the most basic armed forces to maintain law and order. Therefore, the Human Revolution Union and PLANT have their own security throughout the entire process.

Starting from Siegel's assassination, war has become the main theme of the CE world from 71 to 74. Now seeing the dawn of peace, the People's Revolutionary Federation, under the leadership of Siegfried, has completely crushed PLANT and resolved external conflicts. Afterwards, the new organization immediately began to clear up its internal conflicts, but things did not work out as expected. Mina's 5-10-year dream of unifying the Earth's sphere was completely put on the brakes with the outbreak of another assassination.

Just like the negotiation that Siegel failed to participate in, this time the People's Revolutionary League still chose the lunar city Copernicus as the venue for the talks. It's not that they don't learn from historical lessons, but that Copernicus, as the largest city in the universe, is also The most famous neutral city, only by arranging it here can both parties in the negotiation not have to worry about being 'thrown a cup to win' by each other.

However, the People's Revolutionary League, with its sincerity to resolve the misunderstanding, resulted in irreversible consequences. Five years ago, the same supreme leader was away attending a meeting. Sigurd Klein, the speaker of the PLANT Council, narrowly escaped death due to a shuttle malfunction. However, a month before him, a PLANT council member died in a terrorist attack. Down.

Of course, the process of Lars's participation in the Berlin talks is the same. The security team must have done a good job of limiting the reciprocity of force. No matter how useless Copernicus City is, it is at least a competent referee. Therefore, the itinerary of both parties is basically determined to change after arriving at the airport. Take the vehicle provided by your country and go directly to the meeting hotel.

It was Blue Universe, a notorious terrorist organization, that was announced to be responsible for this. At that time, natural people and adjusters had already begun small-scale conflicts. The attempted assassination of Silger also became the straw that broke the camel's back. Only a few Months later, the war that swept the entire earth circle and beyond completely broke out.

The assassination happened precisely at the shuttle airport, which was also the stage when the delegation’s security force was most vulnerable. Half an hour before the APR shuttle arrived, an unidentified mobile suit was discovered at the airport in Copernicus City, and there was no response to repeated calls. Later, the airport also dispatched its own security forces and notified the upcoming People's Revolutionary League of the incident.

Ten minutes later, the security team called back and said that it was just a Granada patrol plane. Since the MS was malfunctioning and it could not contact the Granada base, it had to make an emergency landing in Copernicus City. The other party was willing to accept all forms of supervision. Until Granada comes to pick them up.

Fifteen minutes later, the Copernicus Airport lifted the alarm and also sent all safe communications to the PURP shuttle. Considering that PLANT had arrived at the moon one day early to express its sincerity, the PURP comprehensively assessed the situation and decided to proceed. A landing was planned. Nineteen minutes later, the security force that went to supervise the lost mobile suit reported to the tower that a suspicious aircraft was found nearby, and then broke off contact. The Copernicus Airport tower did not dare to neglect and immediately dispatched a second batch of security forces. At this time, people The Revolutionary Alliance's shuttle has already begun the entry process.

22 minutes later, the tower detected a high-energy signal suspected of MS firing. At this time, they had very little maneuverability left. As a last resort, the tower could only speed up the arrival of the Human Revolutionary Alliance shuttle plane into the port while asking ground security to respond. Prepare.

24 minutes later, a mobile suit broke through the perimeter of the airport and forcibly rushed into the safe area. The aircraft model was the extremely common main force of the ZAFT universe, the Zaku Warriors.

At this time, the shuttle of the People's Revolutionary League had entered the port, and the control tower had no choice but to send out the last security force to intercept it.

At the same time, a group of armed forces that had been prepared entered the airport from the ordinary tourist passage. After killing several passengers, the entire Copernicus Airport fell into complete chaos.

Since most of the mobile forces had already been sent out, this unidentified team was like a force to be reckoned with. They first fought their way to the control tower and directly took down the central control brain. Then, relying on the tower's authority, they blocked the retreat route of the People's Revolutionary League delegation, completely preventing the other party from evacuating the airport in time.

"That's roughly what happened. Of course, the security team of the People's Revolutionary League is not a vegetarian. It's a pity that they are outnumbered. The current news is that important personnel were seriously injured, but the information I got from the council suggests that they died."

"Where did Mayura's information come from?"

"Please look here."

Meiling clicked the controller in her hand, and a somewhat blurry picture appeared on the projection in the briefing room. Although the picture quality was blurry, it did not prevent everyone in Orb from recognizing the familiar face, with red hair and sharp The look in his eyes was that of Mayura Rabat, a former IDF soldier who disappeared in Orb.

After a moment, Mayura coughed and then kicked Meiling very covertly. After reacting, Meiling quickly turned off the projector. Siegfried fell into silence again after Mayura's face appeared. The silence brought tremendous pressure to everyone present.

In the end, it was Ma Liu who broke the silence. As the captain, she took the initiative to summarize Mei Ling's information.

"There are many doubts about this matter. Judging from the information we have obtained now, Copernicus City, as the host, has been completely figured out by the other party. It can be said that every decision made by the tower is actually the answer the other party wants to see. ”

"Starting from the unidentified MS at the beginning, the two false alarms from the first wave team are the first suspicion point, and the lack of news from the second wave team is the second suspicion point. Until this time, there is still room for recovery, as long as the airport tower can have a Retired military officers could immediately prevent the landing of the People's Revolutionary Alliance shuttle plane, but Copernicus City did not dare to place retired soldiers in such a sensitive location for the sake of neutrality. In addition, the establishment of Granada greatly reduced Copernicus's power. The importance of the city made them eager not to mess up the meeting, so they gave the People's Revolutionary League wrong information while blindly trusting their own security level, which ultimately led to a catastrophe."

"This is a premeditated action, Siegfried, and it is aimed at the Human Revolutionary Alliance!"
