Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 673 Response
Just one hour after Kira's Jegan disappeared on the border, hundreds of thousands of mutants launched an attack almost at the same time. It was thanks to Las' decision that precious time was bought for the evacuation of civilians. The mutants who had not transcended flesh and blood did not show any extraordinary abilities in the face of modern thermal weapons.

Zamel, this old-fashioned heavy MS that could not keep up with the times in the UC world, turned out to be a characteristic unit of Scandinavia after Hilde's miraculous revival. All beings are equal in front of a 680mm cannon. Thanks to the support of Zamel Battalion, the four border cities of the kingdom were able to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible under the impact of mutants.

Due to premature birth, both Las and her daughter needed further care. As the acting spokesperson, Lindman was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he only informed the traditional ally Obu of what had happened. Mina, one of the candidates for the chairman, compiled it into an internal reference document and threw it on the desk of every senior bureaucrat of the People's Revolutionary League.

At the same time, news about mutants began to ferment further. Such a large-scale mass incident could not be suppressed by one party just because it wanted to, and the world was still far from the point where the People's Revolutionary League had the final say.

In terms of national power, the People's Revolutionary League currently encompasses about 70% of the earth's territory. The remaining countries that have not yet joined include the Atlantic Federation, which was just defeated, and the African continent and Arab countries that are still on the sidelines. These national forces, each with their own ulterior motives, are unwilling to see the People's Revolutionary League unify the entire earth so smoothly.

Therefore, the mutant invasion in Scandinavia gave these 'dead bones in the grave' a glimmer of hope. Even if they are destined to be annexed, they still want to put up a final resistance. So the news media in various countries are in full swing, and all kinds of conspiracy theories are raging, from 'the People's Revolutionary League inherited the Atlantic enhanced human technology and was backfired' to 'the artificial transformation body plan is just a conspiracy to deceive natural humans'. Its purpose is to spread the People's Revolutionary League's terrorist theory and delay or even interrupt the People's Revolutionary League's unification process.

"Let's talk about it, everyone. This matter involves the Earth Church. That's the priest you personally promoted, and that Van Dyson, who has now become the second generation of the Atlantic. Oh, sorry, I'm rude. There are only 50,000 registered enhanced people in the Atlantic. This is a disciple who is better than the master."

Although it was just a holographic projection meeting, everyone attending the meeting could fully feel Mina's anger. After all, Frey's assassination directly led to Las's premature birth. Fortunately, Las was an adjuster with a perfect body to deal with such emergencies. If anything happened to either mother and daughter, today's meeting would be the farewell dinner of the People's Revolutionary League, and it would definitely be the last dinner for some people.

"The whole matter has not been investigated thoroughly yet, Ms. Mina, please don't make any alarmist remarks."

"Do you need me to remind you? I am currently one of the vice chairmen and also a candidate in this election. Please refer to me by my position while working!"

"Vice Chairman Sahak, I'm not questioning your statement, but Her Majesty Winslet has not shown up since the incident. I think as a party involved, she should also tell us the truth!"

"Confession? To whom? You? Do you want to look in the mirror and see if you are worthy enough?"

"you!"

In the crowded virtual conference room, more than 60% of the participants remained silent about Mina's arrogance. These people were precisely the allies that Obu had won over through various interest exchanges and political commitments within the People's Revolutionary League. It is this silent % that constitutes the greatest confidence for Mina's current election rate of nearly %.

"The truth is still unknown. I don't think we should just pin the blame on Van Dyson. As an example of paying a huge sum of money for a horse's bones, so many countries are watching what will happen to Van Dyson after he joins the People's Revolutionary League. If we are not careful, who will be willing to join us in the future!"

Although he was mocked by Mina, he remained calm, which is the basic skill of a politician. Seeing that his momentum was suppressed, the other party immediately changed the angle of the topic, trying to use the grand narrative of peaceful reunification to prove that Mina's approach was still in line with the style of a small family in Orb. And from the surrounding voices of agreement, whether sincere or not, it was clear that this move stabilized the situation a little, so that Mina would not be killed by a critical hit at the beginning.

"Besides, the current state of Amanto's top combat power is also a mystery, right? If I remember correctly, Aslan, the commander-in-chief, returned to PLANT at this critical moment. Putting aside the former ZAFT, where is our own hero? It has been a long time since Siegfried appeared since Rio. Everyone present knows what kind of temper he has. Now his wife has been attacked by mutants, but he has not shown his face or spoken a word until today. Mr. Vice Chairman, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Each of them is one of the incumbent vice-chairmen, and the other party is obviously not an easy person to deal with. From peaceful reunification to Siegfried's physical condition, their words and deeds all reveal one meaning, that is, in the current situation where people are unreliable, only Luo Pan is the military ballast of the People's Revolutionary League. It is neither rational nor appropriate for Mina to blame Van Dyson at this time.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of her fingers, Hilde entered the conference room with an expressionless face. It was the first time for most people present to see this white-haired girl who was hailed as the treasure of the Revolutionary League. However, it was obvious that Hilde was not here to make friends today. Two pictures were displayed in front of everyone when she clicked on them. They were the fake Covenant who was killed by Siegfried during the night raid on Berlin, and Litlard's plane, the Black Knight.

Since the cursed fortress of Artemis was breached for the third time, Hilde has completely cracked the program of the satellite microwave cannon. As expected, all the evidence points to Finas Zweig, the president of the Earth United Industries and Commerce Association.

From capturing Artemis at the auction to holding Luo and Heinrich hostage, all the evidence showed that this was a desperate counterattack by Finas after he was unwilling to be annexed by the People's Revolutionary League.

At the same time, ZAFT's traitor Agnes was also involved, but if this evidence were made public, at the moment when Finus, the focus of the conflict, died, Agnes' identity as the adjuster would become an overly conspicuous beacon.

From this perspective, Tria listened to Lao's advice and made a decisive decision to shift the blame and kill people, which really helped Van Dyson. Based on Lao's judgment of the current situation, the People's Revolutionary League did not want to get into trouble with PLANT at this delicate juncture, so Agnes' identity made the Revolutionary League a little cautious.

The top leaders of both sides knew that Agnes had been blacklisted by the Council, but due to propaganda needs, the information received by the lower-level soldiers was always only the version screened or modified by the upper level. Therefore, once Orb directly revealed the truth about the satellite gun, not only would it fail to win the loyalty of the ground troops, but it would also be more likely to be swept away by public opinion and unable to extricate itself.

Unfortunately, Lao's appearance was still a step late. Siegfried's table-turning murder in Berlin frightened Ingrid, and as a result, a beam cloak exactly the same as the one in the night raid appeared on Litrad's Black Knight. As a technology that has not been widely popularized, Mina made her request slowly after making sure that everyone had seen the photo clearly.

"Now, please vote on the two proposals, 'Investigate Van Dyson and Luo Pan' and 'Revoke the legal status of the Earth Church'. During this period, Luo Pan will stop authorizing all armed actions, and the People's Revolutionary League will regard any private actions as treason!"
