Gundam EXARE

Chapter 96: Overt and covert fighting

Panama falls.

Do you mean that the Panama Spaceport, where the elite soldiers of the Atlantic Federation were gathered, was captured?

Do you mean that the Dagger Force, which the Atlantic Federation had high hopes for, failed to achieve any results?

Do you mean that ZAFT can defeat our Earth Army with the few remaining troops?

When the intelligence was on the stage, people couldn't believe what they saw was reality.

At the beginning of the war, everyone thought that the war would end quickly. What was the ZAFT army?

Then the war has continued until now. When everyone thought that the war was almost over, the ZAFT army dealt another severe blow to the Atlantic Federation.

All kinds of materials that had been transported to Panama during this period were turned into ashes along with the Panama Spaceport in this battle.

In this way, the Earth Army's ground forces and space forces were completely separated.

How long can the lunar base hold out?

This is not the point now. The point now is the new weapons used by ZAFT in this operation against Panama.

A new type of EMP weapon was dropped from space onto the surface, paralyzing the entire base the moment it was launched.

The MS stopped working, the fighter planes stalled and fell from the sky, all kinds of equipment could not function normally, and even the mass accelerator was stimulated by the strong magnetic field produced by this electronic pulse, and the components attracted each other, twisted and finally collapsed.

Air supremacy?

Control the universe!

The ZAFT army operating in space can drop all kinds of deadly weapons on Earth at any time and anywhere. This is the key point now!

It has dropped neutron jammers, MS troops, and now it has dropped new EMP weapons.

A year ago, the Atlantic Federation mocked PLANT as a lonely submarine in the ocean of the universe, and a little damage could kill it.

A year later, the Atlantic Federation discovered that it was a primitive people trapped on an isolated island on Earth, with no way to deal with the demons above its head.

The ZAFT military's strategic objectives appear to have been achieved, with the three mass accelerators owned by the Earth Alliance either captured or destroyed.

Although the Dagger MS has been mass-produced and deployed, the Earth Army will be attacked every day if they do not leave the Earth.

Now that the Gladius is already in use on a large scale, what are we waiting for? Waiting for an EMP to be dropped on our own capital?

The Earth Army now wants to concentrate its forces to recapture the other two spaceports, but this popular strategic goal has encountered difficulties in implementation.

The Eurasian Federation and the South African Unified Organization jointly established the Victoria Spaceport, while the East Asian Republic established the Kaohsiung Spaceport on its own.

Neither of these two countries wants the Atlantic Federation to intervene. Think about the precedent of the United States of South America. If the Atlantic Federation really sends troops to your territory, it will definitely not leave easily.

Judging from the Eurasian Federation’s resolute opposition, the pro-Atlantic faction within this country has not yet been able to completely seize the initiative.

What did the East Asian Republic say? The East Asian Republic chose to send troops to cooperate with the Eurasian Federation.

This is a bad signal for the Atlantic Federation. The actions of the Alaska base are pushing the Eurasian Federation away.

After this wonderful show, people of insight within the Eurasian Federation had to reconsider their partners.

In the past, the three parties could maintain a balance, but now that the Eurasian Federation is weak, it must choose between the Atlantic Federation, a hungry wolf that has already bared its fangs, and the East Asian Republic.

The two countries' simultaneous efforts to contain the Atlantic Federation at this time is an attempt at cooperation.

However, the Atlantic Federation did not want to see this happen. The mass accelerator it had snatched from the United States of South America was gone, and without the mass accelerator, it would be impossible to go into space.

Just like the mass accelerator and natural gas industries, once you import from other countries, you will be constrained by them.

Therefore, everyone can see at a glance the Atlantic Federation's wolf ambitions. It wants to take advantage of the Eurasian Federation's weakness to seize the Victoria Spaceport. But who would have thought that the Eurasian Federation had already reached an agreement with the East Asian Republic in private.

Aren't we all comrades who fought against the East Asian Republic together? Did you really betray me?

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, it's that simple.

If the Atlantic Federation truly lost its mass accelerator, how would they divide up PLANT after the war? Could it be that they were truly facilitating the process?

To this end, the Atlantic Federation proposed a very reasonable country:

"Ob."

In the small neutral country of Orb, there is also a mass accelerator called Kaguya.

Since we can't take over Victoria Spaceport, let's change the prey.

Naturally, the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic strongly opposed this proposal.

But the Atlantic Federation raised a fatal possibility:

"What if the ZAFT forces destroyed the mass accelerator?"

The enemy has already exploded the mass accelerator in Panama. As long as they destroy the ones in Victoria and Kaohsiung, the Earth Alliance will be completely trapped on Earth.

Then you just wait for the people in the lunar base to starve to death or surrender, and the demons above your head, ZAFT, might drop a nuclear bomb on the earth next time.

At this time, the Earth Army needs a mass accelerator that is not in ZAFT's hands.

So the Atlantic Federation has set its sights on Orb. Of course, it wants to take over Orb out of its own selfish interests, but selfish interests and public interests can overlap, and no one can deny that the Atlantic Federation's proposal makes sense.

What's more, no one can stop the Atlantic Federation. The Eurasian Federation has suffered too much military loss, and the East Asian Republic is unlikely to stand up for Orb at this time.

National interests are above all else; this is the code of conduct for every country.

All that can be offered is support beyond genuine help.

It is impossible for the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic to turn against the Atlantic Federation at this time. It will be difficult to jump off the car once you get on.

So things were finally settled, and the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic worked together to retake Victoria Spaceport.

The Atlantic Federation's decision to lead its troops to Orb despite strong opposition is another interesting signal.

The Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic are openly singing a different tune from the Atlantic Federation.

Dividing line

negotiation.

It says this first, and then throws you a humiliating treaty.

First, Orb must disband his army.

Atlantic Federation, are you awake?

How can a country without an army survive?

The Atlantic Federation knows this very well!

It knew you wouldn't agree. Wasn't it the same when it went to attack the United States of South America?

I will first offer you a treaty that is humiliating and detrimental to our country, and you will definitely not agree to it.

If you don't agree, I'll have a fight. Wouldn't it be better if you agree?

As for the issue of international public opinion, do you want to see who controls the world's largest media?

In short, you violate human rights, your government is dictatorial, you pollute the environment, and you discriminate against homosexuals.

The people are suffering terribly. Your government is a cancer to humanity and deserves death!

When our Atlantic Federation army arrives, justice will prevail, and a bright future will come.

This is the operating procedure. The Atlantic Federation is the world's hegemon. Who dares to disobey?

Aub, with its weak national strength, had no choice.

A country surrounded by the sea is standing alone here. You have neither sufficient strength nor strategic depth, and you can't even fight guerrilla warfare.

Once the Atlantic Federation gains air superiority, they will bomb you and you will be finished.

Orb's only way out is to surrender. Just hand over the mass accelerator honestly. They want it now.

News from different countries was broadcast on TV, and it was rare to see news from the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic expressing opposition to the Atlantic Federation's actions.

Uzmi, who was sitting in front of the TV, knew very well that other national teams would provide all kinds of support except for the help from Orb. It is impossible for them to take action for a small country like you. Do you really think there is a world policeman?

What would happen if Orb and the Atlantic Federation really came to blows?

Think positively, you can last a day.

If you think pessimistically, it will be over in one day.

To be honest, if the Atlantic Federation wants to destroy Orb, it would be no different from crushing a small bug.

How could Uzmi, as the leader of a country, not see that if a war breaks out, the soldiers will only die in vain and they will be fighting a war that cannot be won.

So what do the people think?

What do they think of the relationship between Orb and the Atlantic Federation?

The answer is it doesn’t matter.

Can just a few words of philosophy make people give up their own lives and jump into suffering?

For the sake of the entire country, Orb should also cooperate honestly with the Atlantic Federation.

But Uzumi had other ideas. After knowing about the heresy, he still agreed to the development of the M1 heresy and strengthened Orb's military strength.

Why? Because he was waiting for a signal.

"Father!"

The loud shout made Uzumi helpless. Why was his daughter always so impetuous?

I guess he hurried back from the Dawn Society after learning about the pressure from the Atlantic Federation.

"What a panic you're in!"

This time, with only the two of them, Uzumi could scold Cagalli with peace of mind.

However, after being criticized like this as soon as she rushed in, Kagalli felt relieved. In her eyes, as long as her reliable father didn't panic, there would be no problem. It seemed that the situation was not so tense at the moment.

A father knows a daughter best. Uzumi saw through Cagalli's relaxed expression and asked:

"What do you think Aub should do next?"

"Eh?"

How would Cagalli know this? She just came to ask what Uzumi was going to do!

However, she kept Orb's philosophy firmly in mind and used it to answer:

"Our country is a neutral nation! We will never get involved in the war between PLANT and the Earth Federation!"

"What if the Earth Union forces us to cooperate?"

"Eh?"

A silly girl, as silly as a 16-year-old can be.

PS: The doctor said that I will have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It is a pity that beheading has turned into slow slicing.

PS: Can you please let me have some fun?

Chapter 97 Death is Coming

On the sea, the fleet is sailing towards its destination.

The troops from the Atlantic Federation are fully prepared and will head to Orb to take over that country.

If the other party is unwilling to cooperate

"You'd rather die than surrender."

On the bridge of the Spengler-class large naval vessel, the man who received Orb's answer was smiling nonchalantly.

His light blue suit was out of place among the soldiers in uniform around him. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going to attend a business meeting.

The man's name is Muruta Azrael

"That's good. I was just worried about what would happen if they really agreed."

Not only his dress, but even his speech was completely different from that of a serious soldier.

If Orb refuses the request, it means that the two sides will go to war. War will inevitably involve fighting, and fighting will bring death.

But Azrael didn't care. He was looking forward to the war between the Earth Army and the Orb Army.

The Spengler-class captain then asked:
