Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 630: Tearing (Part )
In 75 CE, the Rio Terror Attack (later renamed Rio Light), which influenced the course of history, finally reached its peak.

The political alliance centered around some radical officials of the People's Revolutionary League officially announced that Compass would be incorporated into the People's Revolutionary League's military system. It not only granted it many privileges, but also supplemented it with a varying number of elite pilots and warships.

Among them, the addition of pilots did not attract much attention. After all, Compass now has the strongest adjuster Kira Yamato, and the aces of the People's Revolutionary League are basically on good terms with Orb, so even if additional pilots are added, they are only some relatively elite members.

The real focus of public opinion was on the arrangement of the mothership. The Minerva, a highly representative and controversial battleship, was added to the Compass. Together with the Bader-class battleships developed by Van Dyson himself, a highly combat-capable mini fleet was immediately formed.

After the end of the lunar orbit battle, the Minerva, as the flagship of ZAFT under Durandal's rule, was naturally taken by the People's Revolutionary League as a trophy. Especially after the signing of the treaty, Lacus returned to PLANT with the Eternity. ZAFT finally waited for its own flagship that should have been put into service three years ago. The Minerva was completely swept into the garbage dump of history.

As a result, Minerva has now been handed over to Luo Pan. From today's perspective, Minerva's technology is not outdated. Its all-domain combat capabilities are more suitable for a team like Luo Pan that needs global deployment than many space battleships. More importantly, through the delivery of Minerva, many people suddenly discovered that after being humiliated by Tianren in Berlin, the People's Revolutionary League did not seem to lose confidence in Luo Pan.

There is also an unconfirmed rumor that the People's Revolutionary League originally wanted to deliver not the Minerva as a trophy, but the famous legendary unsinkable ship, the Archangel.

Currently, the Archangel and its sister ship, the Major Angel, are serving in the Lunar Orbital Fleet, which is the second largest space force of the People's Revolutionary League after the First Space Fleet. Considering that the previous commander of the First Fleet was Cagalli, and her successor is Buggy Lulu, a former United Nations soldier from the Archangel, so since it is impossible to target Buggy Lulu, the Lunar Orbital Fleet with no background has become one of the targets.

However, this piece of gossip was not confirmed by any official channels in the end. After all, there was a notorious Siegfried on the Archangel back then. Even though he had not appeared in front of the world for more than a month after the Rio incident, there were even rumors that it was Siegfried who was sitting on the runaway golden plane. However, there was no official response from Orb and Celestial Being either.

After Luopan obtained the formal official status, its president Orfe Ram Teo announced the first combat mission to the world, which was to thoroughly investigate the raid on the South American Front of the People's Revolutionary League in Washington. Such a huge loss would not be stopped just because a lieutenant general committed suicide out of fear of crime. Luopan would use this opportunity to completely wipe out the "anti-People's Revolutionary League elements" in the earth circle and the universe, and put a perfect end to the People's Revolutionary League's unification of the earth.

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately gained the support of many young military factions. Siegfried's initial concerns also partially became a reality. Since the victory over ZAFT, which was composed of pure adjusters, the People's Revolutionary League Army is now in a period of growth. The army at this stage generally has a higher sense of honor, and the complete destruction of the South American Command just threw a bucket of dirty water on this sense of honor.

Due to Phoenix's rampage during the Rio terrorist attack, the whereabouts of Liu Shenqiang became a weapon for Luo Pan to attack Tianren, but Orb refused to acknowledge the news of Liu Shenqiang's death. At the same time, Lars Winslet's Queen's Order was announced as scheduled. The Kingdom of Scandinavia became the first member of the People's Revolutionary League to publicly express its rejection of Van Endysen and Luo Pan.

Just when the world's public opinion focus briefly shifted to Lars, the current Orb representative Lund Mina Sahak and half of the members of parliament launched an investigation proposal on the assassination of the former chairman, which was passed as scheduled.

Strictly speaking, the political ecology of East Asia is closer to gerontocracy. Seeking stability blindly is both their disadvantage and advantage. Mina seized this opportunity when everyone's attention was focused on the two cities of Berlin and Rio, and successfully integrated the political connections left by the former president.

Mina's political promise is simple: find the murderer and kill him, and safeguard the glory of the People's Revolutionary League starting with our generation. Her interest commitment is even greater. The core technology of the solar orbital elevator is firmly in the hands of Obu. If Mina doesn't understand what "win over a group, divide a group, and attack a group" means with such a hen that lays golden eggs, then she is unworthy of being the former head of the Sahak family.

Under Mina's integration, the "right wing" of the People's Revolutionary League united together. This new political alliance wisely chose not to continue to fight with Luo Pan, but instead took a different approach and directly demanded early election of a new chairman.

In just a few days, both sides continuously exported their own ideologies to the general public through their respective mouthpieces and media. Van Endysen also took the opportunity to wrestle with Orb to officially enter the political stage of the People's Revolutionary League. Berlin, the original border city, was transformed after Van Endysen announced his joining and once again became the heart of Europe.

"What kind of compass is this? It's just a bunch of Titans!"

The cold loli voice with a bit of anger hit Cagalli in the face. Cagalli picked up a few documents from the ground helplessly and put them on the table. Then she turned around and looked at Hilde with an expressionless face, wanting to say something but stopping herself. "Ask whatever you want to ask!"

"The key is that I don't know what Titans are."

Cagalli's innocent question directly stumped Hilde. She wanted to explain the origin of the Titans, but it would be a waste of time to explain the historical process of UC in detail. Secondly, Nain had fought side by side with Yazan and Jellett, and the start of HCL was inseparable from the efforts of these two "Titans". So Hilde thought about it and shook her head to give up.

"Sister, can we really find evidence from a dead body?"

After finding out that Hilde was unwilling to explain, Cagalli stopped asking. To her, the history of UC had no significance. The most important thing at the moment was Hilde's work at hand. A brain with a somewhat horrifying image was floating alone in the nutrient solution, and lying next to it was Liu Shenqiang's pale body. If Mina wanted to seek a breakthrough at the political level, it would ultimately depend on whether the laboratory could produce results.

"Sister, how long have you not slept?"

After watching for a while, Cagalli felt a little disgusted. After looking around, she focused her gaze on Hilde's two huge dark circles under his eyes again.

"Three days, what's wrong?"

"Your body."

"The testing of Destiny Gundam Spec II has entered its final stage, and the Fully Armored Phoenix has just started. The next research focus is to prevent the solar furnace and the psycho-skeleton resonance from going out of control. In addition, I have never come into contact with the bionic technology of the Storm Breaker before, so I don't have time to sleep."

"But you can't not sleep!"

"Then you can ask Mina. She recently asked me for MS and battleships. Luckily, I had a batch of backup stocks from the Celestial Plan. Otherwise, I would be too busy to handle them all."

"Eh? Mina wants MS. She wants to form a new armed force?"

"Well, Mina said that the Celestial Beings should be above the world instead of letting the compass drag them down into the quagmire, so she made another preparation. The existence of the second team can not only provide combat support to the Celestial Beings, but also guard against the desperate actions of the militant faction. So I gave her the things and gave her a good name by the way."

“A good name is.”

"The name of a legendary troop, Londo Bell. You can also call it the Bell Team."
