Chapter XXXVIII: The Wheel of History

Haven't changed it in a while! I would like to apologize to all readers~~ Happy New Year to all of you on the first day of the new year! The Year of the Dog is auspicious

******************************************************************************

On June 10, CE70, after nearly a week of fluctuations in the situation on the lunar surface, the ZAFT Army, which had abandoned the lunar base, even began the first round of covert talks on the prisoner of war issue through a third-party civilian person, Mosuki Zoros, after carrying out a multi-deterrent orbital bombardment of the Combine Lunar Fortress, but the secret negotiations reached a deadlock. In order to break the active morale gained by uniting the recent lunar battle situation, and to gain further external advantages in the exchange of prisoners and peace talks. The ZAFT space fleet decided to launch a large-scale offensive on the L4 zone occupied by the East Asian republics. On the one hand, it is trying to seize the resource satellite "Nova" in the L4 region, and on the other hand, it is also trying to take the opportunity to knock the alliance to gain the initiative in negotiations.

As a result, with the signal of the PLANT home fleet on the night of June 10, the offensive and defensive battle known as "Nova" began nearly a week ahead of the original history. Moreover, compared with the original space-time, under the pressure of the ZAFT, which suffered heavier losses on the lunar surface, in order to defend the mainland and maintain deterrence on the lunar surface, the number of troops dispatched was significantly reduced by nearly half compared with the original space-time. And the preparatory work for the advance base is far from complete! However, the reason why ZAFT has the confidence to dispatch is more in line with the East Asian Republic's strength is far inferior to the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation's strong 'soft persimmon' mentality, in addition, although the previous use of MS-21C Gerald's equipment has achieved certain results. However, at this time, the ZAFT army, which still maintained the absolute superiority of MS use technology, did not take it seriously. Instead, he is ready to use an overwhelming strength advantage to capture the "New Star" with a thunderous and precise blow to redeem the points lost on the previous lunar battlefield. I have to say that they do have this strength, if it is still the strength of the East Asian Republic of the original time and space to deal with it by itself, it will naturally be difficult to recover the defeat. But on the premise that some of the people behind the scenes decide to secretly push the hands. This battle is destined to be the second thwarted battle for ZAFT to fulfill the ulterior ambitions of some intruders.

"In the face of this operation, the local government has issued the highest order, and will fight to the end for the prestige of our country. Recently, those projects have been approved by the country, and at the same time, the earth will do its best to send us the assistance and logistics we need~~" The CP staff officer of "New Star" sent the commander the highest level of notice order

"Hmmm! This time it was suddenly so high-profile~~ is it to prevent our country's momentum from being affected by the new situation after the battle on the moon, right? What a hassle! The veteran general, who was obviously already an old fritter, immediately thought of some factors other than the actual war, and complained irritably

"This is a huge improvement from before! What's more, China really needs a new victory in real combat to ensure its position on the stage of international influence, and we should cooperate and understand it! The deputy commander, who served as a long-term staff assistant next to him, persuaded

"Alright! Let's just complain. It's just that now there is a feeling of sharpening knives in a hurry, and even if the reinforcements on the ground increase their delivery efforts, it will be difficult to adapt to the needs of the new environment and battle situation in a short time. After all, the actual combat strength of this space area needs a considerable degree of run-in to be of great use, and we can't pin all our hopes on those recruits. How's the trial of the 'gift' in the previous paragraph? Speaking of this, the old commander said his knot

"Everything is working properly! It is enough to be competent for the power claimed by those 'sponsors', but there is no actual combat at present, and the expected effect cannot be determined~~ Is it appropriate to keep it in such a strict secrecy at the moment?! Major Nangong Jingxing, who was in charge next to him, gave a strong response, but he still had doubts about one of the order restrictions

"That's why 'it' will be used as our 'killer'! At the moment, ZAFT can't get the news~~~" The commander finally said his judgment seriously

"Understood! Task Force 704 will definitely prepare for war with all its might and complete its military orders! Major Nangong Jingxing immediately responded with a crisp military salute

"Then everything is ready! I hope it will go as planned~~" In the end, the commander, Major General Yang Jingde, ended the conversation in a solemn silence, but a large and strangely shaped body in the "Nova" fortress was waiting for the order to attack at high speed.

Eight hours later, at around 10:00 GMT on June 11, the L4 Raiders on the ZAFT "Nova" side smashed into the "Nova" fortress area with high-speed advance tactics, and a large number of MS formed at high speed under the cover of powerful fire from naval guns to launch a large-scale attack on the fortress satellites - "We must let those primitives know what we are interested in!" Compatriots who died for the moon~~" Under the fanatical and powerful slogan shouting, a large number of MS mobile units let out a sharp battle cry and drove the landline to pounce on the fortress target that was regarded as venting their anger
