There is no doubt that the impact of Sakura's military coup in P. L. A. N. T is absolutely shocking.
Especially when it was announced that the Supreme Council Infinity period would be suspended and all rights would be taken over by the military, Coordinators civilians couldn't believe it was true.
What's even more outrageous is that the youngest of the group of young people who launched the coup was only fifteen years old, and the oldest was no less than twenty-seven years old.
The only good thing is that the entire coup process, except for Rau Lu Cruze and a very small number of die-hard elements, did not cause many deaths, nor did it cause any social unrest.
Because everything happened so fast that others had no time to react, and everything came to an end.
As a war hero who was once highlighted, Sakura officially moved from behind the scenes to the front desk, becoming the highest Commander in the name of the ZAFT Army.
After hearing the news, many frontline soldiers and officers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the sudden coup sounds a bit frightening.
But knowing that the new person in power is "Red Queen" who has brought countless victories, naturally there is no such big resistance.
After all, for the soldiers who are serving, they are willing to follow the orders of whoever can lead Coordinators to win this war.
Commanders like "Desert Tiger" Andrew Balter Phil der who originally preferred Speaker Sigur Clyne expressed strong dissatisfaction with the coup at the beginning.
But after learning that Lacuss was recruited into the military government to be solely responsible for handling internal affairs, he quickly chose to shut up.
no way!
The scandal that broke out before really disappointed the entire public.
Patrick Sala, a man who once devoted all his efforts to the establishment of P. L. A. N. T., actually assassinated his friends who had fought alongside him in order to fight for power and profit.
Law Lu Cruze, a hero who repeatedly beat Earth Alliance to the ground with his superb commanding methods and tactics during the war, actually also participated in the dirty political frame-up.
With the lessons learned from these two people, who can guarantee that the remaining congressmen will be clean?
On the contrary, Sakura, a "Bloody Valentine victim" with no background, makes most ordinary people think that she will not do some disgusting behavior like those older politicians.
After all, Sakura's girl-like appearance is too deceptive.
So much so that people are willing to believe that she launched the coup because she couldn't stand the increasingly fierce internal fighting at the top.
Otherwise, why did you invite Lacuss, the daughter of the former Speaker Clyne, to be solely responsible for handling internal affairs after the coup was successful, while he only took care of the military and diplomacy?
In short, with the original highest decision-making body, the Council, completely reduced to a mere decoration, the entire P. L. A. N. T. has entered a new, fast-paced era.
Perhaps ordinary people don't feel it so obviously, but staff in the military and government agencies have noticed that their workload is increasing exponentially.
In particular, military-industrial enterprises related to weapons production, as well as major scientific laboratories, have begun to work overtime.
A large number of weapons of mass destruction that were originally banned, such as nuclear missiles, and the "Genesis" that appeared in the original plot, have all been re-approved without exception.
Looking at the "big guys" who were being packed into transport ships and sent to the earth, Lacuss, who was dressed in a professional suit, asked very worriedly, "Are you sure you can really use war to make the countries on the earth succumb to our will?"
"Of course! Haven't you read history and know how the Age of Discovery Europe colonists occupied and annexed the Americas?" Sakura asked without looking back while signing her name on the arms list.
"But that was hundreds of years ago. And during the colonization process, the greedy and vicious Europe colonists almost wiped out all the the Americas natives." Lacuss said with naked disgust in his tone.
Although she is technically a descendant of these "greedy and vicious Europe colonists", she has no respect for her ancestors.
Just the opposite!
This young girl with extraordinary political talent knew better than most people the cruelty of that era known as the "Geographic Discovery."
Countless people who were still in relatively primitive civilization and Horde were massacred by those Europe people who called them "adventurers", but who were essentially bandits and invaders.
What is even more ironic is that these bandits and invaders, whose hands are stained with blood, actually call themselves "civilized people" and call the indigenous residents "savages".
Sakura handed the signed list to the quartermaster, then turned around and said with a sneer, "What a group of ancient people hundreds of years ago could do with primitive muskets and artillery, is it possible that we, who have countless destructive weapons, can't do it?
No! The answer is obviously no.
As long as we are willing, we can even make the entire earth barren of grass and become completely unsuitable for human survival.
It's just that the previous leaders of P. L. A. N. T., either because they were afraid of more violent retaliation, or because of moral and conscience uneasiness, never had the intention to completely destroy those countries on the earth.
Even the most powerful dancer Atlantic Federation is no exception.
But what about them?
They used a nuke on our agricultural satellite of choice!
In other words, when the countries on the earth begin to want to destroy us from the bottom of their hearts, our senior officials still hold the illusion of peaceful coexistence!
Don't you think this is ridiculous? "
Faced with these questions that touched his soul and bottom line, Lacuss fell silent for an instant.
In the past, she might have said something stupid about stopping the war and restoring peace between the two sides.
But after coming into contact with Allen, the girl had seen the essence of the contradiction and immediately showed a helpless smile, "You are right. Countries on the earth, especially the capital interest groups behind Atlantic Federation, have wanted to completely destroy P. L. A. N. T more than once and turn all Coordinators into their slaves. But the question is, do you know how many people will die if the scale of the war is expanded like this?"
"For those who truly desire peace, they will not resist our rule, because we are liberating them from the world controlled by capital. Those idiots who have been swayed by public opinion and brainwashed by misinformation, as well as countless vested interest groups, are the ones I need to eliminate."
When she said these words, there was no trace of hesitation or confusion in Sakura's tone or eyes.
Seeing that he could not change the other party's mind, Lacuss couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Oh - then which country on earth do you plan to launch a full-scale attack first? Atlantic Federation?"
Sakura shook her head meaningfully. "No! Atlantic Federation has been targeted by another guy, and there is no need for us to take action. My first target is Eurasian Federation. Through a quick victory and occupation, this huge and bloated federal country will be disintegrated."
"What? Atlantic Federation was targeted by another guy?" Lacuss captured some sensitive information.
"That's right! Just wait and see, there will be news from Orb soon. The game is starting to become more and more interesting."
At the same time, far away on the sea surface of Earth South Pacific, Archangel is driving slowly at one-tenth of the normal speed.
Captain Murrue was standing on the deck at the moment, looking at the seabirds flying across the sea in the distance, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Will Orb really take in us Rebel Army who are wanted by the Earth Alliance?"
"Why not?"
Allen, who was lying on the chair, shrugged his shoulders.
He looked so relaxed, as if he had just fought with the pursuers several times.
Yes!
After discovering that Archangel had defected, Murta Azrael immediately asked Atlantic Federation to send troops to pursue him.
But the result...
Although the Naturals pilots who had just received the new machine body worked very hard and desperately, they still suffered a disastrous defeat as expected.
To be precise, they were manipulated by real ace pilots.
An unlucky man driving a Strike Dagger was even captured alive.
Now his body has become Mu's property.
This old-fashioned guy who likes the new and hates the old has long wanted to try driving a mobile suit, so he decisively gave up on the MA.
Right now, several Skygraspers are gathering dust in the hangar.
"But Orb is a neutral country, and His Excellency Uzummi Yura Asghar is also a serious and principled person. I don't think he will take huge risks to accept us." Murrue was obviously anxious.
After all, after deciding to leave Earth Alliance, she was carrying not only her own fate, but also the fate of everyone on the entire ship on her shoulders, so she couldn't help but be cautious.
But Allen replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter whether Lion of Orb is willing to accept us. It's enough as long as Cagalli is willing to accept us. What's more, when did you give birth? We need to see Orb Illusion about the face of the government? What we want to do is to subvert the existing regime of that country, eradicate all the five families that control the entire country, and use it as a base to capture South America, and then launch an attack on the Atlantic Federation mainland."
"Damn it! Your plan sounds like a madman's delusion. I really don't know what disease caused me to agree to take risks with you." Murrue couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Hahahaha! No, you are not sick, but you see the hope of changing the world. Don't worry, we will succeed. Because so far, I have never failed."
Allen laughed, raised his head and drank the cup filled with drink.
"What are you talking about?"
Nataru·Bucky Lululu also walked out of the cabin at some point, took off his hat and let the sea breeze blow his hair.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Orb's reaction. How are you lately?" Murrue's eyes revealed a hint of concern.
After all, this good partner's mental state has deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye since he defected with everyone else.
He also slept much less than normal people, and he had dark circles under his eyes all day long.
Nataru·Bucky Lululu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little unaccustomed to my current sexual identity. Allen, what action do you think Atlantic Federation will take next?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, they must seize all the few Mass Drivers left on the earth as much as possible. Only in this way can they send warships to outer space in large quantities in a short period of time. Coincidentally, the neutral country Orb happens to have one."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the two women on the deck actually heard a tone of gloating from Allen's mouth.
"You mean...Earth Alliance will force Orb to abandon the principle of neutrality and choose a side?" Murrue raised his eyebrows in surprise.
If it were before, she would probably think this was nonsense.
But after witnessing the tragic situation of destroying everything regardless of friend or foe after the "Cyclops" system was activated, Earth Alliance, especially Atlantic Federation, who was controlled by capital, would not be surprised no matter how crazy he did.
Allen nodded slightly. "Yes! With Murta Azrael's character, it would be weird if he didn't do something to Orb. This guy hates Coordinators extremely and pursues the policy of letting Coordinators and Naturals Orb, who coexists peacefully with, has long been on his blacklist. In the past, Orb was allowed to remain neutral because of his lack of strength. But now, he has the technology to mass-produce MS and no longer needs to hide his true thoughts."
"Why does Murta Azrael hate Coordinators so much? Also, don't you get along very happily with him?" Nataru·Bucky Lululu asked with a puzzled look.
"Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's because I was bullied by Coordinators in school during my childhood. There are too many factors that make a person go to extremes and pathologies. I'm not a psychiatrist, so how can I know so clearly. As for us getting along well, it's based on my ability On the premise of providing new technologies to the huge military-industrial complex behind him. If it were you, a person who could bring you hundreds of billions or even trillions of profits, what would you do to him?" Allen turned Byakugan in anger.
"Uh... Okay, I kind of understand why Murtagh Azrael looks at you differently."
Nataru·Bucky Lululu Instantly recalled the experience of being intimidated and forced to put on that blushing short skirt and run into a man's room in the middle of the night, with a faint blush on his face.
However, she concealed herself very well and was not discovered by Murrue next to her.
She didn't want any third party besides herself and Allen to know about this matter.
In this way, three people in leadership positions on Archangel, two women and one man, sat on the deck and enjoyed the sea view while discussing the current situation and ideas about the future.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened.
At the same time, they were less than twenty nautical miles away from the territorial waters of Orb.
With such a distance and the amazing size of Archangel, unless all the radar observers of Orb are blind, they can definitely see it clearly.
However, when they were not close to the territorial waters, they deliberately pretended not to see it, hoping that Archangel would be wise and change their direction and leave.
