Chapter 31: The Revelation of the Blood Sand Purgatory

The history of Gundam SEED quickly advanced to around the end of May 30, CE70, and the fortress of Gibraltar changed hands with the defeat of the Battle of the Mediterranean. Not only the underbelly of Europe, the core of the Eurasian Federation, has suddenly opened up. Naturally, North Africa, which has traditionally been regarded as an important sphere of influence and a resource supply area, is also on the verge of being on the verge of becoming a source of influence. In the face of ZAFT's strategic coercion, the Eurasian side, which has suffered a great loss in successive battles, can only transfer most of its main forces to defend the core region of Europe, and has no choice but to temporarily abandon most of the North African region. This move directly shook the prestige of the Eurasian Federation's traditional influence on Africa, and put the important 'Victoria launch site' of the European Federation in crisis. In short, after the initial stabilization of the war situation in Europe, the Eurasian Federation, not to be outdone, quickly concentrated on preparing to thwart the crazy offensive of ZAFT in a classic region many years ago, in order to save a little bit of its international image! As a result, on May 30 of that year, the "Suez (Transport) Offensive and Defensive Battle" broke out, which also became an important historical development stage that determined the future development of the situation in the region

From the ancient Roman Empire to the rise of the Arab Empire and then to the Second World War, in order to compete for this strategically important and resource-rich region, history has staged a bloody gladiatorial arena of struggle between the old and new hegemony! Even in this era, there is no exception. The reason why ZAFT has adopted a posture of encircling the inner circle of Europe but not fighting is more in the hope of cutting off the important link between the Eurasian Federation and Asia in North Africa! If the Suez Canal is lost, the Eurasian Federation will be cut off from the nearest link to the Pacific region by sea. A large amount of material transportation and foreign aid can only be detoured from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa! In addition, the Eurasian Federation, which has been cut off from the supply of important nuclear energy in the case of a large number of N interference, can only rely heavily on the old petrochemical energy supply chain in North Africa and the Middle East and the solar power plants under the replacement of a large number of new technologies in the region in order to maintain the traditional huge energy-consuming industrial system! This is undoubtedly another ruthless interception and sealing attack, which will further weaken the recovery of the industrial capacity of the Eurasian Federation, which has been severely hit by N interference, and completely weaken its war potential. I have to say that so far, ZAFT's strategic posture deployment action is still quite clever and reasonable~~

And this situation of the Eurasian Federation naturally cannot be ignored, but in order to preserve the only legacy of international hegemony. Coupled with the hegemony and stability of the country and the red line of domestic economic interests at this time, the elite is still forced to transfer the elite and vow to compete with ZAFT on this ancient battlefield! In any case, the Eurasian Federation, which has experienced a period of naval and air defeats, has its own traditional military strengths, and is still quite confident in pure land warfare to penetrate into the inland region, not to mention that in order to deal with the SAFT's hated MS troops, a rare member of the domestic warrior was transferred, and Morgan Chevrolet, known as the "rabid dog under the moon" in the future, became the first battlefield, which was about 100KM west of the Nile River in North Africa, and the noble name El Alamein (El Alamein). After a long time, the stage is used to once again set for the land where the flames of war have spread, and the duel between the "Rabid Dog under the Moon" and the "Desert Tiger" is depicted. C.E. 70, late at night on 5/30 – The Battle of New El Alamein begins

With the signal that the ZAFT landing force began to gallop on tracks with a cluster of heavy armor of the Zaut type, the Eurasian Federal Defense Line sounded the combat alarm! Immediately after that, the so-called "Dark Flare", a "passive IR sonar" (Passive-IR-Sensor) that emits only infrared rays to exert its power in the environment of neutron interferon, exploded in the sky. It has to be said that after a fierce battle, the traditional military powers quickly explored a set of effective new technology systems for effective combat in the N interference environment, and in the face of the ZAFT heavy land combat MS that occupies the peak of firepower, the new hot stripe rear-end missile developed by Fuji Mountain Agency (FUJIYAM) has also given full play to its effective restraint role. In addition to reflecting the strong development capabilities of the traditional military industry on the earth, we should also admire the efficient development of cross-border technical cooperation today, which has proved that there is no light shield or PS armor plug-in. Even the heavy-tonnage high-defense Zaw could not hell with the specially developed heavy anti-armor heavy shaped warhead. And the Eurasian Federation convoy that unfolded in a skillful formation next nimbled with the Zauts. Using missiles as a disruptance, stopping the enemy's advance and striking the enemy's vital points with artillery bombardment, a single Zaut was forced to flee by the continuous attacks of several combat vehicles.

While neutron interference has severely suppressed traditional methods of infinite communication, the rolling terrain of desert areas makes optical communications using lasers and infrared ineffective due to scattered waste and bait. The ZAFT Army has already performed unimaginable tactical maneuvers with its leading technology Weasel, but the armored forces of the Eurasian Federation, which have been tempered to the technical limits of traditional land combat vehicles, have suppressed the rising star ZAFT Marine MS Unit with profound skills. The approximate vibration of the roar of the cannon and the display of the base map are perfectly matched, showing that the extraordinary skills of the old army powers are by no means ordinary.

In contrast, the traditional MobileSuit, which is powerful but oversized, unsuitable for the terrain and has low mobility, is gradually unable to parry this formation, and the attrition rate that exceeds the norm makes ZAFT drivers begin to fear. More than half of the Zaut who had come ashore for the purpose of landing in El Alamein were in a state of inability to fight, and shells were raining down...... The missiles stubbornly pursued them, and the only gaps were sewn by the helicopters coming from above, and the ground was covered with mines. The vanguard landing force has been driven into a herd of orangutans in a hunting trap, waiting to be slaughtered slowly. Its splendor, Wang Bu, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but praise the excellent performance of the Eurasian Federation, which can be said to have reached the limit of the lack of C4I system data link in the traditional armored forces. It can be said that after his simulation calculations, the Zeon traditional Zagu or Great Demon mech that has been replaced by the UC plane will not be able to perform better in this situation without the blessing of special offensive and defensive weapons.

But at the moment when the Eurasian Federation seemed to have a decisive victory, ZAFT suddenly made a surprise attack, and it was this unreasonable surprise soldier that instantly turned the tide of the battle! Taking advantage of the moment when the main forces of the Eurasian Federation concentrated on destroying the landing force in front of them, the 'Desert Tiger' Baltfield took the Baku troops to evaluate its special mobility advantage through the blind spot of the southern Gotara (Qattara) that was originally considered impassable! It seems that even the most outstanding military talent is inevitably limited by some traditional strategic and tactical perspectives, just like the Maginot Line mistakes made by the French in World War 2! Once again, the Eurasian Federation has sown the seeds of hatred because of the negligence of conservatism. Not to mention that this anti-traditional humanoid canine MS design is more suitable for practical ground warfare, not only in terms of traditional mobility because of the limb bionic drive is obviously better than the two-legged humanoid structure, but also its low design shape is better than the traditional tall humanoid structure target in terms of elastic avoidance. In addition, the performance of high-speed ground maneuver approach combat has brought into play the advantages of traditional predators, and soon tore the tank troops apart like sluggish turtles! Seeing this, Wang Bu has determined that there is no room for recovery in the battle situation~~ Of course, he is not ready to insert it to change anything, and some people need lessons to change and progress.

And now he has set a new goal, for the production technology of the Baku series of ZAFT airframes. At the same time, it's time for our land combat MS to speed up! After ending this bystander, Wang Bu smiled and turned away from the blood-soaked Alamein! The defeat in this war will further lead to the decline of the Eurasian Federation and the complete loss of control and chaotic development of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa
