Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 825: Thunder and Storm! (2/3)
CE71.

Late May.

The outbreak of a battle dealt a heavy blow to the international community, which had just been excited by the news that the orbital elevator had completed its preliminary construction plan.

After ZAFT's defeat in the Nova Battle, the satellite fortress Boaz, which was built on an abandoned resource satellite, was destroyed in a short period of time by the lunar fleet sent by the Earth Union.

The spread of this news immediately caused unrest in the situation.

Because, in that battle, the Earth Alliance's lunar fleet used a large number of nuclear weapons, and the huge number of nuclear weapons destroyed the satellite fortress Boaz almost in an instant.

Such a victory inspired countless anti-adjusters and anti-PLANT people.

Originally, because the Earth Union was losing battles on the surface of the earth, countless people who regarded the Earth Union as their hope to exterminate the Adjusters were frustrated. Finally, the Earth Union once again picked up the Gun of Destruction and imposed sanctions on the PLANTs and the Adjusters!
"really."

He Ming was a little surprised when he picked up the first-hand battle report sent by the intelligence department.

In the timeline where L4 Nova had not fallen, ZAFT still built the satellite fortress Boaz after the Nova battle, and this satellite fortress still suffered the original fate of destruction.

This is truly a fateful ending.

"General. What nuclear weapons does the Moon Fleet have now?"

East Asian intelligence agencies have not yet discovered the source of the nuclear weapons used by the Lunar Fleet, but have basically determined that it is related to the militants who previously attacked the Pillars of Heaven and the orbital elevator.

"Well, it's very likely that group of people."

Archangel and Kusanagi are already members of the Alliance Fleet, and as long as L4 has not fallen, the battle that took place in L4 Mendel in the original timeline would never have happened.

Moreover, several key figures who helped the Earth Alliance acquire the anti-neutron jammer did not appear in this universe.

The poor and hateful Frey had already followed her father back to her homeland, lived a stable life, and then, on the right day, married her fiancé and had children.

Of course, I won’t talk about Kira Yamato.

Now he has become an indispensable member of the entire solar power generation system construction project, so naturally he will not step into this battlefield.

So, the answer to who allowed the Earth Alliance to regain nuclear weapons is obvious.

"Assholes! Don't these guys think the situation is chaotic enough?"

Feng Yun cursed angrily and then looked at the CIC next to him.

"Send this battle report to each ship! And, ask each ship to be ready to attack!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Currently, after the Alliance's First Fleet set sail from Nova, it sailed to a remote area between L3 and L5 and was on standby.

Unexpectedly, the short standby time ended here.

"Don't worry about this! This is expected! Just follow the routine."

He Ming gave an extra reminder.

"Yes! General!"

Feng Yun pondered for a moment and looked at He Ming.

"General, are we going to take advantage of the chaos to enter the battlefield?"

Compared to the location of the Alliance's First Fleet, the Lunar Fleet, after destroying the Boaz Satellite Fortress, is closer to the L5 space region where PLANT is located. Moreover, judging from the direction, it is about to face PLANT's last line of defense, the Yakin Duvi Satellite Fortress.

"No. No need. Our current location is behind the PLANT compared to the Moon Fleet, and we will not face Yakin Duwei directly. This is a good advantage for us."

He Ming paused for a moment and continued, "Don't forget. Our primary target is Genesis behind Yakin Duwei. As for the fight between the Moon Fleet and ZAFT, it is a secondary target."

"Yes! General."

"Once you are ready, let's go! Judging from the battle report, although the Moon Fleet destroyed Boaz in a short time, the losses and consumption it suffered were enough for the Moon Fleet to stay at the edge of the L5 space domain for a period of time to resupply."

"Yes! General."

The destruction of Boaz caused a small ripple among the Alliance's First Fleet, but it was quickly quelled by the order to attack again.

But this is not good news for lawmakers.

The report of the lunar fleet's use of nuclear weapons reminded the congressmen of the tragedy of Junius 7.

"Ms. Lux. Everyone is starting to get anxious."

As requested by Yuri Amalfi, Talia, who reported the current situation to Lacus, could not help but look worried.

"Are you worried about your son, Miss Talia?"

Lux asked back.

Talia pursed her lips and nodded in confirmation of Lux's question.

"This is a matter of course. There is no mother in the world who doesn't worry about the safety of her child. But don't worry, Miss Talia. We can catch up! This is not about the international situation, nor about the disputes between the regulators and natural people. This is about living lives no longer suffering from that terrible destructive blow."

Lux's words calmed Talia down a little.

"Ms. Lux, I understand what you mean! I'm just, I'm just worried..."

"is it?"

Lux stepped forward and gently held Talia's right hand, speaking softly.

"Please don't worry! That general is different from the others and the generals of the Earth Alliance."

Talia's eyes fluctuated a few times, but she did not choose to believe He Ming because of Lux's words. Instead, she chose to remain silent.

This is a natural reaction.

Not to mention Talia, even the congressmen rescued by He Ming himself showed distrust towards He Ming.

It was only because of Lacus and Yuri Amalfi's face that he chose to hide his distrust in his heart.

In response, Lux did not give any explanation or defend her name.

She believes that time will prove everything.

Anyone who possesses the prophetic eyes that can see through people's hearts and can get help from the deceased from the other side can never be one of those crazy generals of the Earth Alliance.

Otherwise, from the moment she was discovered by He Ming, the real Lacus Klein did not exist in this world.

"Lacus. General He has ordered the Alliance's First Fleet to attack! Rush to Yakin Duwei at full speed!"

While Nicol hurriedly brought the news, he also informed his father Yuri Amalfi and Lacus of the decision he had thought about for a long time.

"Father, Lacus, I have decided to board a mobile suit again! To participate in this battle! Not as a ZAFT, not as a member of the Earth Alliance, but simply as a volunteer to protect our homeland, I will board a mobile suit again!"

"I have submitted an application to General He! General He has also approved it. The Thunderbolt Gundam stored in the hangar of the Archangel will be returned to me to pilot!"
