Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 700: Shadow of the Lion
While the world was still digesting this series of changes, the orbital elevator in the Solomon Islands officially began to perform its duties after being repaired. The transportation range was from the Capantaria base to the coastal areas of DY mainland. It was from this moment that the Earth's sphere finally took the first step to get rid of the energy crisis.

Taking the orbital elevator as an opportunity, Mina put forward the latest proposal to cancel Van Dyson's membership status at an internal meeting. As the core component of Compass, her proposal is equivalent to completely disclosing to the world her intention to completely liquidate Compass.

The entire proposal was successfully passed with a support rate of up to 9%. The realization of the orbital elevator allowed Mina's supporters to get the first return on their investment. This group of people naturally united around Mina and formed a relatively solid interest group, while the opposition was trembling under the constant siege. If they had to stand up and speak for Van Dyson at this time, they might as well think that they were not dying fast enough.

Of course, in external publicity, Mina would not directly reveal all the inside information. After all, this also involves Siegfried's current situation. At this juncture, if people knew that the hero of the People's Revolutionary League was in a coma, the purge of the ground faction would probably run into big problems immediately.

Therefore, the video footage that the Eclipse team almost exchanged for their lives became Mina's weapon to accuse Van Dyson of "failing to perform the basic function of governing the country." At this time, the membership status was no longer Van Dyson's amulet, but instead became a sharp weapon in Mina's hand to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Along with Mina's drastic reforms, problems began to emerge. Armed resistance broke out in some old joint bases, and some ground troops even refused to be transferred and went directly from the GX Spaceport to the universe after receiving the transfer order. In order to deal with these insubordinate forces, Mina also played a trump card that he had prepared for a long time.

A-Laws, a special force born out of the People's Revolutionary League and named an independent law and order maintenance force, officially stepped onto the world stage. With the support of the Solar Furnace and equipped with the Excellence Doom-type A-Laws, not only forcibly took over the GX Spaceport, but also launched an almost brutal counterinsurgency operation against the "former friendly forces" gathered there who had not yet left the earth.

It was precisely through these blood-stained cases that many people suddenly came to their senses and discovered that it seemed that Mina's coming to power had brought not only great achievements such as the orbital elevator. Behind the actions of the independent security force was Mina's determination to use cruel means to unify the earth in the shortest possible time.

Just as Mina was using A-Laws as a sharp blade to replace the ground forces that had previously shown signs of division, reports of mutants attacking human settlements appeared again in various places, and the incidence rate also showed a trend of changing from low to high depending on the distribution of local military armed forces.

Faced with the earth being filled with alarms overnight, the only choices before Mina are to expand the scale of A-Laws, or give up the cleansing of the ground faction and start peacekeeping operations. The first choice seems to be the best, but Mina, who already knows the fate of the Titans and A-Laws, knows very well that once this violent organization born from within the military begins to expand disorderly, it will only accelerate the process of self-destruction. For her, A-Laws has not yet completed its historical mission. Even if it is to be destroyed, it must start and end with her.

Giving up on the internal cleansing of the ground faction is an unacceptable option. Once the purge begins, there is no possibility of stopping. You must know that Mina is not alone. There are countless small groups with their own demands in the new faction, and Orb and the Kingdom have become minorities due to their size. It can be said that even if Mina wants to stop, the supporters behind her will force her to move forward.

Faced with a seemingly unsolvable problem of choosing between two options, Mina began a series of dazzling operations. She first separated half of the mobile forces of the First Fleet, commanded by Omi and deployed in low-Earth orbit to carry out all-weather strikes on the Earth from all angles.

At the same time, Mina used the Dawn Society's shareholding quota in the orbital elevator to win over some Atlantic Federation and Eurasian Union politicians who were once affiliated with the terminal or shared similar aspirations with the terminal, and used this as a breakthrough to temporarily promote a large number of middle-level officers in the old joint army.

Originally, these old joint forces were in a state of panic under the shadow of the People's Revolutionary League. No one knew when a retirement order would be issued to them, not to mention that the People's Revolutionary League had the ability to send these officers to military courts. Now Mina's promotion can be said to be a timely help, and with the existence of the terminal filter, the possibility of this group of people being infiltrated by the remnants of LOGOS is very low.

In this way, the new leader of the People's Revolutionary League, which is based on Earth, immediately got rid of the dilemma of insufficient troops. At the same time, she did not further expand the scale of A-Laws. Although she still had to face the tense situation of putting out fires everywhere, compared with the previous test paper with only two dead ends, Mina's approach of exchanging interests for time obviously gave a high-scoring answer sheet.

On the Island of Dawn, Lux looked at the sea sparkling in the setting sun. Unconsciously, the scene of seabirds diving into the sea in the sky turned into a free fall in her sight. Only after someone patted her on the shoulder did Lux ​​turn her head back in a trance.

"I asked mentor Marchionne, and he said that you have been enjoying staying at the beach recently. In fact, the sea is not pretty at all in this season. It is so gloomy that you can't even see a bit of blue." Relying on her height advantage, Mina moved her hand from Lux's shoulder to her head. She thought the other party would resist this behavior, but the expected reaction did not come. Lux was still looking at the distance listlessly.

"Thank you for providing me with the terminal list. I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't seen it. These old guys are really good at hiding their secrets."

It turned out that not long ago, Mina had found Lux ​​and had a long talk with her. No one knew what they talked about, but after that night, Mina suddenly contacted the terminal members of the old coalition forces and exchanged the original technology shares in the hands of the Dawn Society for the support of those old guys.

"It would be nice if Siegfried were here. At least he could tell me what the future of the world will be like."

She stretched out her hand to grasp the last ray of setting sun on the sea, but no matter how hard Lux ​​tried, the afterglow slowly disappeared below the sea level. Looking at Miss Klein who was so depressed, Mina pondered for a moment and told her some of the facts she knew.

"Even Siegfried can't answer your question."

"But he."

"The future he could see ended two years ago. Every day since then, he was no different from us. When facing an unpredictable future, he also shouted that he wanted to give up. But in the end, in Rio, he did not turn into light and leave, but chose to stay. I think this is the answer that belongs to a hero, isn't it?"

"Siegfried"

"Putting your hopes on others is a cowardly and weak act. Cagalli and I have reflected on whether we have been too dependent on Siegfried. In our respective positions, what have we done for the world? I think this is also a question you should think about clearly, Ms. Klein."

Looking at Lacus who was lost in thought, Mina rubbed her head vigorously and said again: "You asked me before why I let Setsuna and the others receive MS training. Now I can tell you clearly that it is because it is their own choice, just like me now."

"Mina!"

Lux's slightly hurried tone proved that her political wisdom was still online. In just one sentence, she heard the determination hidden in Mina's words.

"We have our mission, and you have your responsibilities. If you don't have the determination to persevere, and rely on that idiot Cagalli alone, how can I trust her to take care of the world? Don't show that expression, you are Siegel Klein's daughter!"
