PS: (Chapter 2 arrives!) Two chapters of 8000+, which can be regarded as a Christmas plus...... ）

March 15, CE70, in the conference room of the Supreme Council in PLANT.

"The Victorian battle plan has completely failed! We have lost more than 5,000 heroic compatriots, more than 300 Jean airframes, and more than a dozen Loracia-class space warships, but we have not achieved the expected planned goals!"

"The defeat was manifold, not only because we did not anticipate the difference between space operations and Earth operations, but also because there were no troops on the ground to respond to them. The ZAFT officers and men who carried out the airborne landing were almost forced to land in the face of artillery fire from the enemy's defensive positions and air force blockade, but the Victorian airborne operation was still declared a failure!"

"The current situation in the industry in PLANT is fine, and our compatriots have chosen to support us in the fight, but the related food and light industry problems still cannot be solved, and we must get the relevant solutions as soon as possible......"

"Now, according to the intelligence, the Earth Union has already started the design and production requirements for the new space warship and the new MA, and it is said that the MS side is also conducting related research and development. There is no doubt that the triumvirate of the Earth Union has reached some kind of consensus, and even the personnel of the Blue Cosmos Organization have begun to be drafted into the army!"

"Damn it! We must immediately carry out a new battle plan, and we must not give the blue cosmos a chance to carry out that kind of horrific operation again...... "......

At the scene of the Supreme Council, more than a dozen members of PLANT, including Speaker Siegel Klein and Chairman of the National Defense Commission Sarah, reviewed the just-lost capture of Victoria Cosmoport. The PLANT councillors then became concerned about the current situation and offered to preemptively strike the United Earth Forces.

Well, the current PLANT is not the case at the beginning of the CE71 plot, when the heavy casualties forced the pacifists and the hardliners to divide the country equally. Now that we have just experienced the tragedy of "Blood Valentine's Day", the entire PLANT can now be said to be united in an atmosphere that supports the ZAFT Army's attack on Earth United, even Speaker Klein.

Therefore, even if the capture of Victoria Spaceport failed and the losses were not small, none of these councillors of the PLANT said anything about peace, and they all had the attitude of insisting on using the war to gain the power of the adjuster to establish their own (crab) self-determination, and soon made several decisions at the suggestion of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission.

First, make sure that the new operation will give PLANT a solid military foothold on Earth!

Second, suppress several spaceports and their key mass accelerators on Earth, and try to blockade the main force of the Earth United Force on Earth!

Thirdly, it was decided to disperse "neutron jamming devices" capable of suppressing nuclear fission weapons and nuclear fission energy sources!

In the end, after discussion among the councillors of the PLANT, the equatorial blockade operation consisting of these three points was named Operation Voloporos, which is the name of the earthly python in Norse mythology and legend, symbolizing eternity.

However, after the PLANT war discussion meeting, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, sent a message to the Amalfi Congressman......

……

Two hours later, in a conference room in the Industrial Coordination Department of PLANT.

"Sarah, are you looking for me alone, is there anything important?" Looking at Sarah, the chairman of the PLANT Defense Committee, who was sitting opposite her, Councilor Amalfi, who was also a member of the PLANT Supreme Council, asked curiously.

For example, Speaker Klein is a pacifist who has always insisted on taking a peaceful line as much as possible, and Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, is undoubtedly a hardliner who advocates the belief of "protecting PLANT by force". And after the "Blood Valentine's Day", Sara, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, who lost his wife, became the most determined militant in PLANT.

In contrast, Congressman Amalfi, who controls the technical department of PLANT, is one of the neutral members of PLANT, and now belongs to neither Speaker Klein nor Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarana. Therefore, Congressman Amalfi was a little surprised by the request of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah.

You know, although PLANT is now unanimously in favor of the war under the influence of the "Blood Valentine's Day" incident, the camp between parliamentarians has not changed much, and the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, and the Amalfi parliamentarians have not had much intersection!

"Amalfi, look at these things......" In response to Congressman Amalfi's words, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, did not explain anything, but motioned to his assistant and handed a portable personal computer to Councilor Amalfi.

Seeing this situation of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Congressman Amalfi's brow couldn't help but jump, but he still took the computer handed by the assistant, and then began to look at the contents on the computer's light screen.

"The design of the new MS fuselage Zagu? Hydroxide-ion battery design scheme and data?? Principle and design drawing of force field protection device??? Gauss Weapon and Beam Weapon Power Comparison and Test Report ......" As Councilor Amalfi's face changed from indifferent to frightened, and he couldn't help but shout, he finally couldn't stand it, but raised his head and shouted to Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, with an eager face: "Sarah, what's the situation?" Where does this stuff and technology come from???"

Councillor Amalfi was quite shocked and amazed!

As the head of the technical side of PLANT and a member of the council, the technical level of Councilor Amalfi is not said to be the strongest existence in the entire adjuster, but he is also a researcher in the first sequence, and after reading the technical documents and introductions just now, he immediately estimated the value of these advanced technologies that he had never even seen.

But to the surprise of Congressman Amalfi, he himself had not seen these technologies in PLANT, which means that they did not come from PLANT. And Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, gave these technologies, is it ......

"Amalfi, you're right! These technologies do not come from PLANT, but our compatriots on the earth and the moon cannot stand the persecution of blue cosmos and natural people, and the top-secret technology that we carried when we fled to PLANT some time ago is the weapons and other technologies that natural people are now studying and trying to break through......"

Listening to Congressman Amalfi's inquiry, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, said in a heavy tone.

To tell the truth, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, is not without suspicion of the "adjusters" who have run into the PLANT satellite constellation with technology. But after confirming that these technologies were indeed real, and that a large number of fugitives, young and old, had identified their adjusters, and even obtained relevant corroborations from the information on the moon and the earth, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, dispelled his suspicions - in normal logic, no spy would have brought so many people, young and old, and sent a variety of extremely advanced technologies to the enemy!

So, the rest is simple! Sara did not hesitate to take the "adjuster" refugees into her own pocket, and set up a relevant research department to carry out related scientific research.

And now Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, told Amalfi, a parliamentarian who had always been neutral, that these things were also vaguely hinting at threatening intentions......

"Sarah, what exactly do you want to do?"

After hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Councilor Amalfi looked at Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, with a serious face and asked.

Councillor Amalfi is not a fool - or rather, there are no real fools among the adjusters, and to be able to become a councillor in PLANT, even if Councillor Amalfi is not as scheming and cunning as those politicians of the United Earth, but in terms of intelligence and analytical ability, it is definitely the top layer of humanity!

After reacting from his surprise, Congressman Amalfi thought about the situation of the Chairman of the National Defense Commission Sara today, and understood what the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, meant. But what concerns Councillor Amalfi is, what is Sara going to do?

"Amalfi, you've seen those technologies and heard the information at the meeting! You should understand the situation of the whole PLANT now, and we have no way out. If we don't mobilize the full power of PLANT, we won't have a chance to win against the Earth Alliance! I need your help, the soldiers of ZAFT need your strength, and if PLANT wants to win, it needs the power of each of our adjusters......"

Hearing Congressman Amalfi's question, a smile appeared on the face of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah. Then he stood up directly, stared closely into the eyes of Councillor Amalfi, and said word by word to Councillor Amalfi.

“…… I see, Lord Sarah!" Looking at the blazing gaze of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, and hearing the other party coldly say the sinister situation facing the PLANT in a tone that was not exaggerated at all, Councilor Amalfi was silent for more than ten seconds before bowing his head and respectfully said to the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah.

Amalfi MP chose to support the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah!

At least Congressman Amalfi understands very well that, judging from the technology he has just seen and the combined intelligence of the Earth collected by PLANT, the words of the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, are definitely not lies but cruel facts.

Shortly after the events of "Blood Valentine's Day", when the adjusters in PLANT are at their most united, Councilor Amalfi has chosen to contribute to the success of PLANT!

However, what the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, and Congressman Amalfi, who are now having a lively conversation, did not notice that several henchmen and aides brought by both sides had almost the same hint of indifference in their eyes. In addition, one of the cronies brought by Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, still exudes a trace of invisible ripples guided by spiritual energy, but no one in "Gundam SEED" can recognize this power for the time being......

………………

On April 1, CE70, on April Fool's Day, the ZAFT Army began to implement the equatorial blockade operation plan.

After successfully deceiving the main force of the Earth United Space Force on the moon with a decoy operation, the ZAFT Army, which acted "by surprise", quickly mobilized the main force and directly dropped a large number of neutron jammers on the equatorial ring!

These neutron jammers, loaded with thrusters and drill bits that can interfere with nuclear fission reactions, electronic signals, and electronic instruments, can make a mess of the situation on Earth and the Moon as soon as they appear. And after the loss of effective radar and residual satellite signals (the satellites were almost all shot down by the ZAFT army), the earth side was "completely powerless" to respond to the equatorial blockade combat operations of the ZAFT in a timely manner, and the moon side was also greatly affected!

The next day, taking advantage of the chaotic situation of the combined forces on the earth not adapting to the neutron jammers, the ZAFT army once again carried out airborne operations from orbit, and directly landed the base facilities from the orbit in batches to the harbor of Oceania and Australia, one of the few pro-plant countries on the earth, in Oceania and Australia-Carbontalia!

With the help of neutron jammers, the ZAFT Army was able to withstand almost no effective resistance from the United Earth Forces, successfully completed the airborne landing and completed the foundation and defense of the Carpentaria base within 48 hours.

In this regard, the Pacific Fleet under the United Earth Force was ordered to go to Oceania to jointly prepare for the attack, but because it was not adapted to the combat environment of the neutron jammer, it was "easily" repelled by the ZAFT Army, which was waiting for work, and was unable to stop the ZAFT Army's plan to build a stronghold on the Oceania Alliance.

However, PLANT, which has succeeded in gaining a foothold on the earth, has also changed its image in the earth from a former victim to an enemy - thanks to the timely relief of the Earth Union, the inhabitants of the Earth Union did not appear to starve to death, but suffered a serious energy crisis due to the neutron jammer. It wasn't until the end of April CE70 that the residents of United Earth, who had regained sufficient energy from Tesla Magnetics, were able to use unrestricted electricity again!

However, for the inhabitants of Earth United, after nibbling on relief food for almost a month and experiencing a primitive life without electricity and water, some of the original sympathy for PLANT and the adjusters disappeared, and the antipathy skyrocketed. As for the other countries, needless to say, they are even worse than the Earth Union, and some even starve to death, and now their impression of PLANT and the adjusters has directly become hostile and hateful!

At this time, PLANT also found that the equatorial blockade plan he made pushed himself to the enemy of the entire earth, but now PLANT has no time to regret it. Because the 5th and 6th Space Fleets of the Moon's Earth Coalition have already begun to set off to try to launch an attack on the mainland of PLANT...... (To be continued.) )
