Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 697 Election Day (VIII)
"As the vice chairman, you must know the significance of the orbital elevator to the People's Revolutionary League and even to the Earth. Now, in order to keep your position, you actually let someone bring in a nuclear bomb!"

Mina picked up the pale-faced former vice chairman. A few minutes ago, Hilde had fully opened up her communication with Londo Bell. The first news from Kuratis was that Windam, who was carrying a nuclear bomb, was found among the rebels on the ground.

At this time, Erica was still deciphering the intercepted communication signals, so Mina had not yet obtained evidence of the other party's collusion between the inside and the outside. However, as the Shadow God of War, she knew very well that the entire Solomon base had an independent security inspection process. If she wanted to bypass the supervision of the base garrison and secretly deliver the nuclear bomb, she could only smuggle the goods through the VIP security team on election day.

Although a total of 16 independent units arrived on the day of the meeting, the only ones capable of sneaking across the border were Londo Bell with the Neo Argama and the Birds of Paradise Squadron with the Garuda-class. So after ruling out the option of bringing the nuclear bomb themselves, the remaining answers were already laid out on the table.

As the news of the nuclear bomb was made public, the conference room fell into chaos again. Mina's previous assurance seemed extremely fragile under the shadow of the nuclear bomb. One must know that the fragments of Junius 7 had not yet left the solar system. Many of these officials were eyewitnesses of the Bloody Valentine's Day. When the time came, no one wanted to become the victim of the nuclear bomb.

"The latest news is that the ground command center has been severely damaged and is no longer able to compile intelligence. Now, except for Londo Bell, the rest of the troops are fighting based on instinct. We need to establish a new front-line command center immediately."

Hilde's voice came again in the headset. Without any hesitation, Mina asked her to transfer the entire command system to the computer in the conference room. As the new chairman, she would directly command the troops to suppress the rebellion.

"But this way you won't be able to leave the orbital elevator until the rebellion is completely quelled. If the new chairman loses contact again, I'm afraid the situation will get completely out of control before Ptolemy arrives."

"Turn around, if I can't defend this rail elevator, the People's Revolutionary League will be destroyed."

Mina's words caused the originally restless conference room to fall into silence in an instant. No matter whether it was the countries that had already joined or the countries that were still hesitating, they could not believe that such words would come out of Mina's mouth.

"Is it hard to understand? Orb is doing its best to restore the energy of the Earth. You who call yourselves the elites of mankind, what are you doing? If the orbital elevator is really destroyed, then the People's Revolutionary League started in Orb and will end in Orb!"

Following Mina's decisive order, Hilde transferred the entire command system to the orbital station, but she also made a backup outside the system. This backup was accompanied by a warrant signed by Mina as the chairman. Once the orbital elevator was lost, Neo Agama would become the new command center. No matter what, Kuratis would lead her men to annihilate all the rebels here.

"I am Lund Mina Sahak, the chairman of the People's Revolutionary League. I will be in charge of the frontline command from now on."

Along with Mina's order, there was also a new identification code that Hilde had urgently modified. With the added power of SEED, she re-established a new algorithm with the Goddess of Justice as the origin in a short period of time, thereby bringing most of the rebels within the range of fire control lock. It was also with the help of the new identification code that the garrison began to gradually regain the initiative and even formed a counterattack situation in a small area.

Unlike the situation on the ground, due to the presence of Agnes in the stratosphere, Takito was unable to stop the drones carrying siege weapons. One after another, triple-mounted short-range missiles bombarded the outer wall of the orbital elevator, causing huge damage. The Delta team also suffered heavy losses due to being backstabbed by friendly forces and was unable to provide effective help.

After several failed interceptions, Takito found that he could not concentrate on intercepting the drone unless he got rid of Qiangren Benliu. After changing back to MS form, Theta Plus mounted the beam cannon behind him, pulled out two lightsabers and started close combat.

"It feels so great to watch the thing I want to protect being torn apart slowly!" Agnes' cheeks were already stained with a sickly blush. She knew very well that as long as this Tower of Babel was destroyed, the newly established People's Revolutionary League would immediately fall apart. At that time, she seemed to be able to see the scene where the savior hero who intercepted the satellite to protect the People's Revolutionary League knelt on the ground in tears.

"You damn terrorists!"

"Foolish natural man, whine like a pig!"

The beam blades of the self-propelled defense shield began to rotate again, and Theta Plus used two crossed beam sabers to barely block the shield attack of Strongman Runliu. Originally, with Takito's experience and the support of AI, the two of them would at most end in a draw, but Takito was worried about the safety of the orbital elevator and inevitably showed a bit of impatience in the battle. Agnes soon discovered this inherent weakness as the defender, and while constantly summoning drones to increase the intensity of the attack, Strongman Runliu finally got his wish and cut off one of Theta Plus's arms.

"Die!"

Just when the self-propelled defense shield was about to cut open the cockpit of the Theta Plus, two red figures rushed towards the strong man from both sides. Agnes was forced to give up the easy target and evade it urgently. The opponent did not hold on tightly but protected the damaged Theta Plus first.

"Sorry, we have to adjust the parameters of the new machine while flying, so there is a slight delay."

After the destruction of the Fallen Angel Gundam and the Archer, Hilde forcibly analyzed the technical data that had not yet been cracked by Hei Harone, and expedited the modification of the Archer-type Fallen Angel Gundam into the Angel of Heaven and Earth, a decisive battle machine for heaven and man. However, due to the tight schedule, the OS on this machine was not yet matched, which was extremely rare. Therefore, Canard was forced to rely on Ruri's assistance to barely complete the system correction halfway.

Despite this, Canard still had no experience in using the GN scissor unit. He didn't even have time to ask Mu how to control these floating weapons with brain quantum waves. But this did not prevent the Angel Gundam from deploying its weapons cabinet. A large number of GN missiles instantly hit the drones that were still attacking the orbital elevator. Amidst the explosions, the Destiny Gundam Spec II, with the resonance of its light wings and the solar furnace, stabbed the strong man running with its ship-slashing sword with an afterimage.

"Makoto! You traitor!"

After recognizing the Destiny Gundam, Agnes naturally knew that the pilot sitting on it was most likely Kotori. However, just as she provoked Shin in a condescending tone as usual, Kotori's expected impatient response did not come as expected. The silent Destiny Gundam first broke the defensive posture of the strong man running with its front grid, and then a black shadow flashed by, and a weapon like a tail thorn accurately pierced the head monitor of the strong man running, and then cleanly eliminated all its weapons.

"Really, you can't kill me. I'm your classmate Agnes. I did something wrong."

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."
