Chapter 54: The Tide of History

After chatting for a while, Sigal Klein also went back to his room to sleep, he was very busy as the Speaker, and this was a rare break.

Seeing Seagal Klein go away, Ye Xingwen fell into contemplation again, although Sigal Klein kindly helped Ye Xingwen solve the long-term problem, but the current problem without the navy still can't be solved, and he can't think of any good way to think about it.

'Is it just for MS to stick to the coastline?' Production capacity and driver training can't keep up. I wonder how the world is now...... It's so anxious......

Slowly thinking, Ye Xingwen fell into a deep sleep.

On March 14, the Pacific Fleet of the Atlantic Federation sailed to the coastline of the Chinese Federation, and once again issued a statement of persuasion to the Chinese Federation, and at the same time, the fleet of the East Asian Republic carried out many demonstrative bombardments on the ports of the Chinese Federation.

On March 15, P.L.A.N.T passed the resolution of the equatorial blockade operation "Operation Ouroboros". The main objectives of this operation are to secure a military base on Earth, suppress a spaceport and a mass accelerator base, and spread the "Neutron Jammer" (neutron jammer) program to suppress the supply of nuclear weapons and nuclear fission energy.

On March 26, the Atlantic Federation formulated a landing plan, and carried out strategic deployment for the MS existing in the data, and it was expected to destroy the Chinese Federation within a month.

On 4/1, "Operation Ouroboros" was launched, spreading "Neutron Jammer" across the globe. The countries of the planet are suffering from a serious energy crisis ("April Fool's crisis") because of the "Neutron Jammer". More than half of civilian factories shut down, large numbers of workers lost their jobs, and people began to starve to death in the once affluent country. The emotions of the people against P.L.A.N.T, against the adjusters are at their peak.

On 4/2, taking advantage of the chaos, ZAFT landed the base facilities in batches from the pro-PLANT countries, that is, from the port of the Greater Lia region united from Oceania, and within 48 hours, the foundation of the Capantaria base was built. The United Pacific Fleet, which had planned to attack the Chinese Federation, turned to Capantaria to destroy the Capantaria base, but was defeated. ("Operation Capantaria Suppression")

4/10, the export of industrial supplies of the Chinese Federation has been valued, and when the energy crisis broke out, it still continued to export goods, which suddenly detonated many countries on the earth, and many small countries secretly traded with the Chinese Federation, which made the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation very dissatisfied.

On April 13, the Chinese Federation announced the development of a civilian battery, which was cheap and could be used by an ordinary family for a month. In this regard, the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation also factory the same battery, but because of the high price of ordinary people can not afford to be spurned, although the official statement is already a negative profit price, but not many people buy it, because even the smuggled battery of the Chinese Federation is much cheaper than the battery of the Earth Union.

On April 17, the 5th and 6th fleets of the Combined Army, with the goal of attacking the P.L.A.N.T itself, set out from Ptoolemaios and began to attack the P.L.A.N.T, and engaged the ZAFT forces that came to meet them near the resource satellite of P.L.A.N.T. Yakin Duwe ("First Attack and Defense of Yakin-Duwe"). The P.L.A.N.T Council, considering the defense of the country, passed a resolution to convert Yakin Duwe into a defensive fortress.

On April 25, due to the war between the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Federation and the Chinese Federation, the people who could not import resources began to protest and march, although the army was dispatched to suppress it, but the effect was not good.

On April 29, under domestic pressure, the Earth Union recognized the legitimacy of the Chinese Federation and recognized the Chinese Federation as a state of "natural persons", and the Eurasian Federation demanded that the Chinese Federation return Vladivostok and the Trans-Khingan Mountains region, but was refused. The Chinese Federation was very tough and said that it was not afraid of war, and the Eurasian Federation had no choice but to swallow its anger.

On 5/3, ZAFT began its offensive with the goal of invading the lunar base of Ptolemaios, and set up a base on the inner side of the moon at Lorenz Crater. The two sides divided the moon in half with Grimaldi Crater as the boundary, and there was a constant conflict (the lunar front became known as the "Grimaldi front").

On 5/20, the construction of the Capantaria base was completed, and the armed forces equipped with the Capantaria base are the current main force of the Chinese Federation, DINN, for which the Earth Union once again appealed to the people that the Chinese Federation is a lackey of the P.L.A.N.T, but it has little effect under the large amount of cheap goods exported by the Chinese Federation.

On May 22, ZAFT used the Capantalia base as a bridgehead to conduct a campaign against the base areas on the planet and begin an offensive against the Mediterranean.

On 5/25, off the coast of Casablanga, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Combined Forces (with the Eurasian connexus as the main force) clashed with the submersible aircraft carrier fleet of the ZAFT. (First Casablanga Sea Battle), the underwater MS "GOOhN" (Gern) was put into actual combat for the first time, and in this battle was won. ZAFT invaded the Mediterranean, began its invasion from the north coast of Africa to the south, and began the construction of the Gibraltar base.

5/30, "Suez (Canal) Offensive and Defensive Battle"; In El Alamein, the combined forces fought offensive and defensive battles with the ZAFT ground army. Although ZAFT was initially locked in a bitter battle against the large tank forces of the Eurasian continuities, the land battle with the MS BuCUE (Baku) was able to achieve great results thanks to Andrew Bartfield's ingenuity. Subsequently, ZAFT began to move south from the north coast of Africa (the "African Front"), while expanding its power. After this war, Andrew Bartfield became known as the "Desert Tiger".

6/1, there is a military column to analyze the MS, and the MS from the record, performance, and reliability of the score ranking, Chengying Gundam won the top spot, the reason is very simple, because no MS can have such a good record, this body's record can almost compare to the sum of other MS combined. And DINN was sent to second place because of his outstanding performance in the war between the Eurasian Federation and the Chinese Federation. But in fact, DINN is not so strong, but it was a surprise to the Eurasian Federation at the beginning of the war, and when the Eurasian Federation found out that DINN was not as difficult to deal with as the Chengying Gundam, the Chinese Federation had already equipped DINN into a formation.

On June 2, on the "Grimaldi Front", an offensive and defensive battle took place at Endymion Crater, an important resource supply base for the Combine. Faced with a painful dilemma, the Combine's 3rd Fleet had equipment capable of melting a special type of ice (which contains a special metal that destroys deposits and the functionality of facilities) go berserk (the Cyclops system) to defeat the ZAFT (which also cost a lot of lives on the part of the Combine). In this battle, Mou La Flada defeated four Ginns with the MA "Mobius" (later Mobius Zero); At the same time, Rau Rue Kreuzer also took part in the battle as the captain of a Laurasia-class (Loracia-class) battleship. The Combine was defeated. Mu La Flada was heroized as the "Eagle of Endymion". In addition, since no driver other than him could use the wired pod during this battle, the regular Mobius was rushed into mass production and later replaced the Mistral as the main weapon. After the defeat of Endymion, ZAFT abandoned the Grimaldi front and temporarily retreated from the moon. Rau Ru Kreuzer, who had been promoted by the defeat of the 3rd Fleet, received the new Nazca-class battleship "Vesalius", and the Kreuzer team became an elite unit with special missions within the army.

On June 14, the two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle on the resource satellite "Nova", located at L4 and under the management of the Republic of East Asia. However, neither side was able to win the decisive blow, and skirmishes continued to occur for nearly a month. During this period, the L4 colony constellation suffered significant damage. In response, the Chinese Federation unexpectedly protested against both sides of the war and held a silent ceremony for the people of the East Asian Republic of the L4 satellite group.

On 7/12, the "Nova" offensive and defensive battle was decided (the Earth Army had already revealed its intention to abandon the "Nova"), and ZAFT decided to transfer the satellite to L5 at the same time as modifying it. Since then, large-scale military operations between the two sides have decreased, and skirmishes have continued to occur on both Earth and in the universe, and they have fallen into a state of stalemate. In order to break the current situation, Commodore Halbarton of the 8th Fleet reviewed the plan to develop a combined MS (Plan G), and began development in Heliopolis with the involvement of Orb's company Morgenroete (Akeboreal), together with the MS-mounted battleship Archangel as an operational ship.

On 9/20, Aslan Sara graduated from the non-commissioned officer school. Joined by Yitzhak Joor, Diego Eelsman, Nigaul Amalfi and others, he was joined by Team Kruzer.

On October 22, in order to break the stalemate, and most importantly, to end the war, Mentor Moluki arranged a secret meeting between Albania, the Chief Minister of United Earth Affairs, and Speaker Klein (the "October Talks"). However, because the earth did not collapse because of the difficult export of resources from the Chinese Federation, Albania was arrogant, and the two sides negotiated a break.

CE.71, 1/1, Ye Xingwen recovered from his injury, and after contacting Ye Xinglong, he praised himself for not doing well in Ye Xinglong (I don't want to write about political issues, throw them all to Ye Xinglong, stick out my tongue), and then choose not to return to Earth in Ye Xinglong's puzzled eyes, but choose to go to the Heliopolis colonial satellite under the management of Orb for a vacation, and vaguely revealed that Heliopolis is about to collapse and he will do a big thing.

1/3, Ye Xingwen, who said goodbye to Lux Klein, set foot on the land of Heliopolis.
