Gundam, the Gundam journey of a certain glue guy and his mecha girl.

In addition, Raven also saw people drawn to Patrick's public speaking.

Patrick's voice stirred their fervor and anger, and Raven noticed that many of the people who had been to Lux's concert were also there.

On the night Lux's tour ended, Raven, back at Klein's mansion, saw Siegfried again.

"So, Mr. Raven, can you tell me about your gains these past few days?"

"Miss Lux's singing is indeed very good, and it sounds even better when heard live."

Lux's lips curved slightly; Raven's approval made her very happy.

However, Raven knew that what Sieger wanted to ask was not just his impressions of the concert.

"Besides, I found that PLANT's civil war sentiment was still very strong, but this was an emotion catalyzed by Speaker Sara's constant propaganda. Through his speeches, he constantly awakened the fear of the civil war, while at the same time using the previous victory of ZAFT to point to the bright future after the victory of the civil war."

Raven recalled Patrick's public speech and listening to him...

"This is indeed a clever propaganda strategy, but once ZAFT suffers setbacks in the war, public opinion will turn against him. However, although most of the wavering centrists have sided with the radicals, the name of Klein still has considerable appeal among a significant portion of the population."

Like Patrick, Siegfried played a crucial role in the founding of PLANT, making him a figure of PLANT's founding father status. Even though Siegfried lost his position as Speaker, his influence among the people will not easily disappear with his departure from office. Moreover, the Kleinists also have Lacus Clyde, a national icon who remains active.

After listening to Raven's analysis, Sigurd slowly nodded, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration.

"You are indeed excellent, even more so than I was when I was young."

He stood up from his chair, turned around, and picked up a neatly bound document.

"Although I am no longer the Speaker, it does not mean that the forces of peace have completely disappeared from PLANT, and my fight has not stopped."

Even after all these years, this man named Siegfried Klein is still the same fighter who fought for the founding of PLANT.

As he spoke, he handed the document to Raven.

"This is the intelligence we've gathered over the past few months based on the leads you gave to Lux. Take a look."

Raven's pupils contracted. The document contained a dense list of dozens of companies with vested interests in LOGOS, as well as a list of key figures associated with these companies.

The latter half contains the personal files of several high-ranking coalition generals who had close ties to the Blue Cosmos organization.

“They were very well hidden. It took my men several months to uncover this little bit of information. An organization capable of controlling the economic order of the entire Earth Sphere could not possibly be this small. What has been uncovered is merely the tip of the iceberg.”

Raven put down the file and looked at Sigur in surprise.

It's not surprising that the Kleinists have such intelligence-gathering capabilities. In the original work, the Terminal organization established by the Kleinists was known for its extremely efficient intelligence-gathering capabilities.

What truly surprised Raven was that Sigurd chose to believe him.

"Why? At that time, I was just a stranger to Mr. Sigel. What makes you believe information from a stranger that has no empirical support?"

"Because Lux trusts you completely."

Raven looked at Lux, who didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly at him.

"In addition to that, there was another gain."

Sigel handed another document to Raven.

Those were documents about Kruze, which almost completely exposed his past.

From Al da Frada's cloning project to the young Kruze coming to PLANT and joining the PLANT militia organization then known as the Zodiac Alliance.

"I never imagined that the outstanding soldier in everyone's eyes would have such a past. Although we haven't found any actions by him that would harm PLAN's interests, his joining ZAFT by concealing his true identity is indeed very suspicious, and my people have also filmed him contacting some suspicious individuals in private..."

Sigel was speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by a rapid electronic notification sound.

This is an urgent message from Erin Kanaba, who shares the same political views as Sigur.

“Sigir, just now, Patrick announced the true target of the breakthrough operation. It’s not the Panama spaceport we predicted, but the Joint Forces headquarters in Alaska. We’ve all been fooled by him!”

Sigur instantly stood up from his seat, a sense of crisis welling up in his heart.

The decision to bypass the heavily guarded Panama Space Port and attack Alaska may seem reasonable, but the strategic implications of the two actions are completely different.

Panama Space Port is the last spaceport in the hands of the United Nations equipped with a mass accelerator, and it is also the last link the United Nations uses to maintain communication between ground forces and the space fleet.

If ZAFT conquers Panama, it means that ZAFT has completely sealed off the main force of the Earth Alliance on Earth, which would give ZAFT complete strategic initiative.

Alaska is just one of many military bases of the coalition forces. Although it is the location of the coalition headquarters, destroying a headquarters is not the same as destroying an army. As long as not all the senior generals are captured, the coalition forces are fully capable of rebuilding the command chain in a short period of time.

The loss of the Alaska base ultimately only added some trouble to the coalition forces in rebuilding headquarters.

Moreover, would the coalition simply hand over its headquarters?

"Why are you in such a hurry, Patrick? Is this how someone in charge of a country should act?"

Sigur knew he couldn't wait any longer.

"Lux, he is indeed a trustworthy person, just as you said. Get ready to give them the gifts."

Chapter 68 The Eternity Sets Sail

Raven stood at the entrance to the shipyard and saw the new warship with its distinctive pink paint job ahead.

"This is..."

"Eternity, that's the name of this warship."

Sigur stood beside Raven, his gaze falling on the long, slender hull of the Eternal, just like Raven's.

"This ship is a battleship built by ZAFT for the construction of the Nazca-class mobile suits, and it has a higher speed than the Nazca-class. Now that PLANT has begun traffic control, it will take you back to Earth."

Upon receiving an urgent message from Erin Kanaba, Siegfried acted decisively, mobilizing his forces embedded within the ZAFT army to immediately seize control of the Eternal and the newly completed Freedom Gundam.

Sigur has made up his mind to fight Patrick. The Kleinists scattered throughout PLANT will go underground starting today, and the Eternity is the ark that Sigur has chosen to launch in order to preserve the flame.

"On the Eternal, there are prototypes of the nuclear engine and the anti-neutron jammer. Those things will be made according to your ideas. And I entrust my daughter to your care."

The nuclear engine and anti-neutron jammer have profound implications. The nuclear engine means that the MS can break free from the power limit of the battery pack and gain semi-permanent range.

An anti-neutron jammer, on the other hand, can prevent nuclear reactions from being affected by neutron interference. Depending on how it is used, it could either bring about destruction or become an important condition for reconciliation between natural persons and mediators.

This trust was undoubtedly heavy, and Raven, who had been entrusted with these things, was momentarily at a loss for words to express his feelings.

But Sieger simply smiled, reached out, patted the young man he admired on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up and board the ship, then turned and waved to Lux, who was standing a few steps away.

Lux stood quietly behind the two men. She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly. She tried her best not to show too much emotion, but when she saw her father waving to her, her eyes reddened for a moment.

Sigur reached out and slowly tucked a strand of pink hair that had fallen across her daughter's forehead behind her ear.

"After that, do what you believe is right. I will also fight for what I believe is right."

Sieger said softly, taking in the look of his proud daughter before resolutely turning and leaving.

He disappeared into the shipyard, escorted by soldiers.

Lux stood there, watching Sigur's figure disappear behind the door.

Raven didn't urge her; he could sense the complex emotions surging within her.

“Mr. Sigel chose to stay in PLANT not to die, but because he deeply loves the country he built with his own hands. His struggle ahead will be fraught with danger, but there are still countless people in PLANT who support Mr. Sigel’s cause; he is not fighting alone.”

“I know, Mr. Raven, I know.”

Lux's eyes were still red, but her gaze had become even more determined.

She is Lux Klein, the daughter of fighter Sigur Klein.

-----------------

"Oh, it's good to see you again, Mr. Raven."

The captain of the Eternity was, of course, Andrew Butterfield, while his lover, Elsa, appeared in the gunner's seat.

"It's a pity El didn't come with you this time. How has she been lately?"

"She's doing very well. Miss Elsa will be quite surprised when she sees her next time, I guarantee it."

Elsa raised an eyebrow but didn't press for details, though Raven's words clearly made her very excited.

"Captain Butterfield, are we ready to set sail?"

A clear and steady voice came from behind Raven. Lux had already composed herself and quickly got into the zone.

"Everything is ready, and we await your command."

Lux nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across the starry sky ahead of the Eternity. She took a deep breath and gave the order in a calm voice.

"Eternity, set sail."

The Eternal slowly sailed out of the shipyard, and then, with the combined action of all ten propulsion units, the pink hull began to accelerate.

The unusual movements of the Eternity were quickly detected by ZAFT's homeland defense forces.

"Eternal, our department has not received any orders regarding your subsequent operations. Stop immediately and submit to inspection. Repeat, stop immediately and submit to inspection."

More than ten Kings, which had been hastily deployed, blocked the Eternity's flight path.

If the Eternity reaches its maximum speed, King alone cannot catch up. However, it will take some time for the ship to reach its maximum speed, and the one responsible for buying that time is Kira, who is piloting the new mobile suit.

The mobile suit named Freedom spread its wings and emerged from the ejection port in the center of the Eternity.

"That's impressive. This effort is several times that of a assault."

The wing-like structure on the back of the Freedom Gundam gives it unparalleled mobility, and when facing the MS unit blocking its way, the Freedom unfolds all the gun ports on its body.

The two plasma beam cannons stored in the wing-shaped structure were flipped out, and the Sailfish railgun at the waist was deployed at the same time. Guided by the multi-locking system, they, along with the Sirius beam rifle, pointed at the King's machine group in front of them.

The next moment, firepower comparable to an entire small fleet was displayed before the King's machine guns.

Kira used every skill he had learned since Heliopolis, with beams and railgun projectiles constantly slicing through King's limbs, destroying all their weapons.

In less than five minutes, all ten Kings were rendered combat incapable, and the Eternity accelerated at this time. After taking in Freedom, the Eternity left the Kings, now only their torsos, far behind and disappeared into space.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Yuri Amafi personally arrived at the Yakin-Duvi fortress.

More of a technologist than a politician, he rushed to the Jachin-Duvi Fortress after receiving a report of a luminous phenomenon.

"Is this the unidentified MS cockpit mentioned in the report?"

Beside Yuri, a technician was rapidly flipping through a data panel in his hand.

"Yes, our initial investigation confirms that this is indeed the cockpit of a mobile suit. However, the technology used by this mobile suit is not the same as the existing technology systems of ZAFT and the Earth Federation. According to the information we have extracted, this mobile suit, named Sazabi, belongs to an unidentified organization called Neo Zeon."

Neo Zeon?

Yuri chewed on the word over and over; he was certain he had never heard of such an organization.

"If it's an MS cockpit, where did the pilot go?"

"Well... when we retrieved it, there was no one inside."

Yuri's brow furrowed even deeper.

A mobile suit using entirely new technological approaches, with no traceable technological origins, an unfamiliar organization that has never left any mark on the history of the Earth Sphere, and an empty cockpit.

Surely this cockpit isn't something that came from another universe?

An absurd idea popped into his head, but he quickly dismissed it.

"In addition, we also found a special substance inside that becomes very active when it interacts with human brainwaves."

As a technician, Yuri immediately thought of the newly developed Dragon Rider system.

Through a mechanism that directly connects to the driver's nervous system, the driver's thoughts are converted into mechanical commands by a quantum computer, and then the commands are sent to the submachines of the Dragon Knight system via quantum communication to achieve an all-round attack effect.

If the divine will, transformed into a dragon rider system mount, could utilize this substance...

Yuri had a flash of inspiration.
