Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 675 The Secret of Berlin (I)

A day later, Mina disclosed the truth about the satellite microwave cannon at a routine press conference, and this news once again caused signs of chaos in the already turbulent earth sphere.

First of all, as the defeated party, the Atlantic Federation, female President Foster immediately severed its relationship with the Earth United Business Council at the speed of light. But the strange thing is that although Foster knelt, she did not kneel completely. At least when asked by reporters when the Atlantic Government would be merged into the People's Revolutionary League, Foster only said that the issue was still under negotiation.

Soon after, Agnes's identity was revealed to the world by someone with ulterior motives. Considering that Finas was already dead, the ground army faction, which had nowhere to vent its anger, immediately focused its attention on Agnes.

At the same time, a piece of gossip also spread, that is, Agnes was not a traitor of ZAFT at all, but a heroic adjuster who endured humiliation. The so-called defection was just to cover up her identity as a spy, and the attack on Washington was Agnes' revenge on the People's Revolutionary League on behalf of the entire PLANT.

Whether it is the Earth Federation of UC or the old Earth Union of CE, or even the new People's Revolutionary Union, there will be factions wherever there are people. Mina's political enemies will obviously not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of this massive wave of "attack on PLANT", the ground forces soon began to request to fight on a large scale. Under the sword pointed directly at PLANT, there was also dissatisfaction with the "indulgent" behavior of the First Fleet.

In the eyes of the war faction on the ground, the People's Revolutionary League is the victor, and as the victor, there is no need to sign a "groveling" treaty with PLANT. The 6000 million adjusted people should just obediently become the providers of the Earth. Some have even called for the abolition of PLANT's national attributes, trying to return the world to the situation before 71 in one fell swoop.

In this regard, Mina did not respond to any calls for war, but at the same time she arranged for Jane Houston to strengthen the blockade of the Caribbean Sea. For a time, the ground forces of the People's Revolutionary League were blocked along the coast of North America and could not move. The Jaburo base, which was supposed to be established as the headquarters, was right in front of them, but now it became an unattainable existence. This alone made Mina bear the reputation of favoritism.

"As expected of the Shadow God of War, I originally thought that she would miss the opportunity due to hesitation, but I didn't expect her to be so decisive. She knows very well that time is not on our side, and the bravery of the grassroots soldiers will gradually weaken with the passage of time. Although the delaying strategy is a bit embarrassing, it is the safest choice at the moment."

In Berlin, Lao held the teacup in one hand and blew on it, while leisurely analyzing the latest intelligence. As his aging body had improved, Lao was not wearing a mask now, and he looked less gloomy.

"Why do you seem quite happy that the other party didn't take the poison?"

Tria casually threw an apple, and behind him stood Litlard who had been completely PUA. Not only that, Litlard, who was a blank slate before entering the world, looked at Tria with a somewhat morbid fanaticism. Lao, who noticed all this, did not say much about it.

"My opponents back then were Patrick and Azlelu. In the end, both of them were blinded by their own obsessions. Now it's rare to meet a rational opponent. Isn't this worth being happy about?"

"The death of Siegfried is the only news that would make me happy. Of course, it would be nice if Cagalli or Lars could be killed, but it's a pity that our priest failed at the last moment."

After discovering that Tria's interests were completely inconsistent with his own, Lao did not continue to express his views on the issue of "opponents". After all, for the time being, the two of them were still teammates in the same camp. If Van Dyson really knelt, as the number one war criminal confirmed by both the Earth Alliance and PLANT five years ago, he knew that his ending would definitely not be too wonderful.

"So, we have to continue to create the next chaos point. Right now, the PLANTs are like frightened birds. The slightest disturbance will probably make them stressed. Have you heard of this saying?"

"Speak directly!"

"The more the enemy opposes us, the more we should support them."

"You mean?" "We can let the PLANTs push themselves to the edge. Let me think about it. Let's start with 'Lacus Clyne's death'."

That night, as everything that happened on the Scandinavian border had spread to Berlin through dozens of versions of rumors, as the first scapegoats, millions of Earth Church believers waited for the dawn of the next day in fear. Due to energy shortages, nearly 80% of the areas in and around Berlin were under a blackout. Only the manor that served as the temporary headquarters of Compass and scattered spots in the suburbs were still lit.

"This is it. This factory was not on my construction schedule. As a government official, I had no idea there was such a place."

In the pitch-black background, two blurry figures flashed by, until they were about to approach the outer wall. Perhaps in preparation for the next action, the two stopped at the same time and slowly removed the camouflage of the Mirage System. It turned out to be Ingrid and ND.

"The energy in the tactical suit is only enough for us to remain invisible for an hour. We must reserve at least 30 minutes for exploration and retreat. Check the watch. Whether we succeed or not, our most important task is to ensure that we are not discovered."

ND took the lead in arranging the action plan. Lux sent him here specifically to make up for Ingrid's lack of experience. Before that, Ingrid had been searching the area for three full days but hadn't found the factory. After ND arrived, he found the correct location based on the route of the supply vehicle in just one day.

"After you go in, follow my instructions. Is there any problem?"

"No, no"

Just as Tria commented at the beginning, the Tuners have been growing up with Queen Aura in a semi-closed environment, so their mental age and physical age are almost out of sync. Ingrid, due to her identity as a political officer, can barely understand the ways of the world. As for the remaining members of the combat team, including Shura, even the H screen given by Tria could directly make them lose their combat effectiveness at the beginning.

It was precisely because of this kind of innocence that Lux successfully pulled Ingrid into her camp.

Of course, Ingrid herself struggled internally for a while, until the news of the attack in Scandinavia reached Berlin, but Tria blocked all sources of information for Ingrid. Realizing that she had become an outlier among the Tuners, she decided to cooperate with Lacus, and her most important task was to investigate the ongoing missing persons cases for Frey.

"Automatic sentry 3, secret sentry 5, something is wrong with this factory, follow me closely!"

As Cong Yunhe's photocopy, ND was able to confirm that they had found the right place based on the first-level guards alone. You have to know that there are almost no factories in Berlin that can be put into operation, and this place is obviously beyond the "normal" range.

With their experienced skills, the two of them bypassed the outer guards without any danger and successfully sneaked into the interior of the factory. Just after Ingrid received the ND signal and entered a dim laboratory sideways, she was completely shocked by the hundreds of glass culture dishes.

"This is... a photocopy factory!"
