Long before the robbery on Heliopolis, the transport ship bound for PLANT to deliver food had already arrived at its destination. At the same moment, a metal box about 2 meters long was taken out by a dump truck, and a metal thorn stretched out from the box pierced into the unloading line, and then the unloading truck sent the box directly into the airtight compartment as if nothing had happened.

After entering the airtight compartment, the box opened by itself, and a person wearing a full set of common clothes in PLANT stood up from the box, looked around, and then opened the hatch and entered directly into the inside of PLANT - due to the war, PLANT's manpower is still very tight, and this kind of work is generally directly controlled by the computer, and there will be no special personnel to monitor.

After entering the PLANT, the man quickly disappeared into the distant city.

Speaker Siegel Klein is now in a very heavy mood, and the current situation of the war makes him feel more and more unable to hold on, "It is not difficult to start a war, it is difficult to end him." Speaker Klein has never been optimistic that his old friend Chairman Sarah will be able to completely defeat the coalition, "Peace is always the first choice. "That's what the Speaker wants.

Also on February 11, when the seizure began, Speaker Klein and his beloved daughter waved goodbye to the public and prepared to go to lunch together after inspecting the food and social security project.

Just as Speaker Crane shook hands with a civilian, the civilian suddenly took the Speaker into his arms, twisted his arms around the Speaker's body, and with a terrifying cracking sound, Speaker Crane was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees in front of his daughter like a rag doll—or in three sections...... He didn't even have time to scream before he died, and the special security officers on the side were stunned - the people who attended the meeting had searched their bodies and confirmed that they did not have any weapons, but no one thought that someone could strangle people like this with the strength of their arms alone...

"Fire!Quick!Protect Lady Leave!Miss Lux!Don't look! Hurry up!" The security captain was the first to react, shouting and giving the order. Immediately, the murderer was shot more than a dozen times, but this guy turned around and ran as if nothing happened, and two guards immediately carried the Speaker who had left him to the waiting car and sent him to the hospital, and several other guards immediately chased after him, and at this moment no one thought about "Why hasn't this thing fallen down after being shot so many times!"

The chase was unsuccessful, and the killer seized a car on the way, crashed through the dock door while frantically fleeing, escaped into the cargo dock, and fell into space during the pursuit, never to be found..........

PLANT was in a commotion. The Speaker of the House of Representatives was assassinated inside the PLANT, and the power of the pacifists was dealt a heavy blow, and everyone was in danger. At the first moment, Chairman Sara came forward to declare that he would never murder his friend, and expressed the greatest sorrow over Klein's death, claiming that it was most likely a political assassination by a united natural person in order to divide the PLANT.

After learning of the killing of Speaker Crane, the United also issued an official statement, saying that the United would never resort to political assassination, and at the same time expressed deep condolences to the peace faction in the PLANT, directly accusing the hardliners led by Chairman Sara of political murder.

Now, everyone's attention is on this assassination, but at least some of the military personnel of ZAFT are still focusing on the G-series stuff - the Kreuzer team is still chasing the Archangel and his party, which is not just a business, and the most cowardly of those who come to gild the team, Nigol, is shot by Mario when he tries to enter the Raid Gundam, and Yamato starts the Gundam to fight the ZAFT army, so Nigaul's friends vow to avenge him.

The two sides fought and fled, and the Archangel fled to the fortress of Artemis in Eurasia.

It's already early March. Staying on his private island in the South Pacific, enjoying the sun and sand, the projection screen on the beach table in front of him played a message from inside the cosmos, "Artemis has been shattered, the internal support frame has been broken, and the entire fortress has been torn apart." ”

"Oh, it's really an auspicious ship! I really want this ship to be on the enemy's side...... They're unscathed again. Poor Eurasian Federation ........." Bo Fu lamented.

The Eurasian forces on Artemis detained the Archangel, but Kreuzer used inertial navigation to infiltrate while the fortress's defenses were turned off, successfully interrupting the power of Artemis' umbrella. Then the ZAFT Army, led by the Vesalius, launched an attack, and the three Gundams of Storm, Decisive Battle, and Aegis took the lead, guiding the Kim and XM01 MS in the rear to attack the fortress - as a result, the main structure of the fortress was damaged and began to disintegrate, and the Archangel took advantage of the chaos to escape again.

In the process of pursuing the Archangel, the ZAFT army successively gathered the strength of several independent squads, and when attacking the Artemis Fortress, it had at least four Nazca-class battleships and eight Loracia-class battleships. It's just that Artemis also had the battlecruiser Peter the Great of the Eurasian Federation stationed on Artemis at that time, and it also accompanied two Drake-class destroyers, and the result was that Peter the Great fought fiercely with the ZAFT army led by Vesalius.

Later, when the ZAFT army withdrew from the battlefield one after another and re-engaged in the pursuit of the Archangel, they had already lost one Laurasia-class battleship in the artillery battle, but they also sank two Drake-class, but they always had no way to take the Peter the Great, neither MS nor the battleship dared to approach the Peter the Great, and they could not inflict heavy damage on the battleship. And Peter the Great did not dare to pursue, but made a posture and let the ZAFT army withdraw to pursue the Archangel.

"I remember that the Eighth Fleet was already in low earth orbit preparing to receive the Archangel, as if the Coalition was preparing to put this battleship into the Eighth Fleet to save the face of the senior officers......," Bo Fu thought as he took a sip of his drink.

"Pulp Halbottom............ Poor second-rate fleet commander, now that the Union has seven Alexandria-class battle cruisers, he still refuses to assign one of them to this guy as a flagship. This person's failure has reached this point, and there is really nothing to say. ”

"Communications. There is communication with the Dragon's Lair Fortress AI. ”

"Take it. ”

"Sir, East Asia has agreed to our offer and is ready to introduce the advanced titanium fighter we provide,"

"Good. Bo Fu took another sip of his drink.

The firepower of the titanium fighter was not enough to cope with the new MS of the ZAFT, so Berfu proposed to East Asia to upgrade the titanium fighter. The curved wing surface has been redesigned, one piece of the front and rear has been cut off for a better view, the firepower has been replaced directly with four 35mm electromagnetic orbital rapid-fire guns, and the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles fired are enough to easily penetrate the main armor of all MSs in service - even the rarely equipped phase transfer armor cannot withstand continuous hits, can carry more combat missiles and heavy anti-ship missiles, is more powerful, and flies faster - and most importantly, it is still easy to produce, and the price is only 20% higher than that of titanium fighters , again, not more than six million dollars a plane, and pilot training is easy.

The MS operating system that Bo Fu sold to ZAFT was as cheating and complex as their own gold......

Just as Bo Fu was preparing to hand over the drawings of a full set of advanced titanium fighters, the next three Alexandria-class ships of the Republic of East Asia were successively delivered by the Dragon Bird Company, the "Sijing Fleet" had been completed, and the Nanjing, Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai had been officially organized into a mobile fleet. It was also at this moment that the Archangel began to approach the intended meeting point with the Eighth Fleet.

Although the Eighth Fleet had sixty warships, it was basically a mixed fleet of Drake and Nelson, and in the joint battle sequence, it had become a second-tier fleet since Halbarton took office, and Lieutenant Commander Remilet was serving in this fleet, he was now the deputy commander of the Eighth Fleet and commander of the destroyer fleet. Now this guy is in a cold sweat, he has repeatedly advised Halbarton to pay attention to the possibility of ZAFT using the Archangel to track and attack, and at the same time put forward a lot of tactical suggestions - such as putting the Archangel in front to attract fire, while trying to concentrate fire on the enemy's MS, and Nelson targeting the enemy's warship for artillery warfare, etc., etc., etc., etc., all of which were vetoed by Halbottom......... "Hell! The Archangel is obviously the battleship with the strongest firepower and protection on our side, but it still has to protect it in the innermost part of the formation instead of giving full play to its firepower advantage. "Remilet said a lot of nasty things on his command ship......

Sure enough, as Lieutenant Colonel Remilet had predicted, Halbarton set up a box formation, guarding the Archangel in the center, and letting Drake, who was on the outermost side, form the first line of fire to intercept the ZAFT. At this time, the ZAFT army was once again reinforced by other squads, and it already had a fleet of 6 NASCs and 11 Lauracia.

"Great, the combined fools have put on a beaten formation! Here's our chance!" said more than one captain—under normal circumstances, a combined fleet of this size would have at least one battlecruiser with strong firepower in their formation, as is extremely rare for the Eighth Fleet today.

The small MSs of ZAFT quickly attacked Halbottom's formation from the four corners of the front of the box, and successfully pulled away Drake, who was unable to maneuver due to the formation, and the three G-series Gundams took the opportunity to rush in and kill. Almost instantly, Halbarton's fleet fell into a tragic situation of fighting on its own, and Lieutenant Colonel Remilet struggled to maintain the formation of the battlefleet around him, and finally completely ignored Halbottom's orders, and directly asked his subordinates to form a circle formation and start concentrating fire on the MS. With Lieutenant Colonel Remiret's hard work and Captain Marlu Ramias' timely escape, the ZAFT commanders were in a dilemma, and in the end, they ran out of ammunition and retreated contentedly - Team Kreuzer lost the trace of the Archangel, but Storm and Duel Gundam chased the Archangel to Earth, and the other teams also left the battlefield after running out of ammunition- Left behind was the Eighth Fleet, which was essentially removed, Commander Halbarton and his flagship were still alive, as was Lieutenant Commander Remiret, but only seventeen of the sixty ships remained back at the Ptolemaic base......... They did not sink a single ZAFT battleship, and the entire record was to shoot down seventeen enemy MSs.............
