After the First World War in Berlin, the suppression forces of the Law Society were frustrated, and all the remaining main forces were concentrated at the Paradise Island base.
It can be said that the entire Eurasian continent was suddenly freed from the oppression of the Law Society, and the situation of the entire world changed again.
No one expected that the seemingly huge Law Society would be forced into such an embarrassing situation in such a short period of time.
And all of this is based on the successive military victories of Li Boyong's troops.
The situation is gradually becoming clearer. Although the centipede is dead but not stiff, it has already shown an obvious decline.
After all, how powerful the Dharma Association was back then, and how many forces were secretly concerned about the interests they had usurped.
Now that the Lifa Association is showing signs of decline, more and more people dare to stand up against the Lifa Association.
With the purpose of overthrowing the Lifa Association, all forces formed an alliance with Li Boyong as the temporary leader.
Although there have been some overt and covert struggles among the allies, there is also a very clear consensus.
That is to seize this opportunity quickly and kill the Lifa Association at the Paradise Island base.
For this reason, the president of the Atlantic Federation was impeached, and the conservative vice president temporarily took office.
The current government of the Eurasian Union has also begun to reorganize. A large number of puppet officials appointed by the Legislative Council have stepped down, and many former Eurasian Union officials have returned to power. The Eurasian Alliance quickly began to recruit various resistance organizations on the Eastern European continent. Many of these resistance organizations themselves were from the Eurasian Alliance Army, and the recruitment operation went smoothly.
The Republic of East Asia, on the other hand, took a clear stand and immediately announced that it would send a fleet to participate in the attack on Paradise Island. Taking this as a signal, the Eurasian Alliance and the Atlantic Federation also hurriedly announced that they would send troops to participate in the war.
However, the assembly and reorganization of the troops, as well as the establishment of the command system, will still take a certain amount of time to complete.
Before that, Li Boyong's troops, who had been fighting hard for a long time, got a brief respite.
As for the world situation, there is also a strange calm before the storm.
The conservative forces headed by Li Boyong are trying their best to allocate supplies and troops to conquer Paradise Island while trying to heal the pain caused by the Law Society.
The Law Society's troops, which have withdrawn from the European continent, are consolidating their defense lines to build the Paradise Island base, and have lost the ability to actively attack on the surface.
As for PLANT, although the war with natural people is still continuing, under the suppression of Speaker Fox, the conflict is limited to small-scale frictions on the existing control line.
The ZAFT military has always been very obedient to this. On the one hand, from the beginning of the war to the present, the troops in various places have been fighting more with less, and they are somewhat tired and need some repairs.
On the other hand, the ZAFT army also achieved satisfactory results, successfully stabilized the Mediterranean power circle centered on Gibraltar, and successfully extended its tentacles into the Black Sea.
The Carpantaria base is still well-defended and firmly controls the sea control of many waters in the South Pacific.
This turmoil within the coalition led by Li Boyong has shown many possibilities. Most members of PLANT's domestic council continue to maintain a wait-and-see attitude while trying to contact the coalition conservatives.
At the Gibraltar base, the ZAFT army's newest battleship, the Minerva, is slowly entering the port.
After completing repairs in the Black Sea, the Minerva suddenly fell into a boring life after assisting the local ZAFT garrison in mopping up some of the remaining coalition forces around the Black Sea.
Because during that time, Li Boyong launched a crusade against the Law Society, and the original plan to advance into the European continent lost its righteousness.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
The ZAFT army had to enter the mode of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, and stopped many military activities.
Now, the situation in Europe became clear with the end of the Battle of Berlin.
Due to various considerations, the ZAFT Army headquarters relocated the Minerva to the Gibraltar base.
After all, it is not difficult for PLANT to see that the next target of the United Conservatives represented by Li Boyong is the Paradise Island Base. At present, most of Li Boyong's main forces are in the Mediterranean. If they want to attack the Paradise Island Base from the Mediterranean through the most convenient route If so, they must pass through the Gibraltar base under the control of the ZAFT Army.
Otherwise, Li Boyong's fleet will need to pass through the Suez Canal again, then go around most of Africa, and attack the Paradise Island base after the voyage. Or after bypassing Africa, renovate in the military port in the northern part of the Eurasian Alliance for a period of time, and then continue to launch attacks.
But no matter what, it would be too much time wasted to do so. And in this uncertain situation, is Li Boyong willing to spare his military power in the Mediterranean to go around in such a large circle?
Isn't the other party afraid that ZAFT will take the opportunity to do something?
Therefore, before attacking Paradise Island, Gibraltar will become an unavoidable obstacle.
Fight or talk, PLANT is waiting for Li Boyong to express his position.

Port of Gibraltar, Minerva Hangar.
The maintenance squad was performing routine maintenance on the pilots, while a group of Minerva pilots were assisting.
"Sorry, can you say what you just said again?"
Shihe came out of his daze and apologized to the maintenance staff who was explaining the progress of the preparations to him.
"Okay." The operator seemed to be used to it. Ever since entering the Black Sea, the red-coated pilot's state was a bit wrong. He nodded and said again: "In the previous battles, the data collection of the new equipment has been completed. , considering the instability of this equipment in actual combat, the superiors decided to stop the use of this equipment..."
As the organizer was talking, he noticed that Shihe seemed to be a little distracted again. He shook his head and did not remind him again, but continued talking on his own.
"What happened to Shi and her?"
On the other side, Lunamaria, who had completed her mission, quietly came to Zhen's side, "It's been weird lately..."
"Maybe the performance of the new equipment is too bad." Zhen Zhen, who was immersed in his work, said without looking back, "I tried that thing once, and it is obviously my usual weapon, but it feels very bad."
"Is this really the case?" Lunamaria expressed doubts, but she had no expectations for Zhen's wooden answer.
After wandering around, Lunamaria walked to the savior's side, found Aslan and asked quietly: "Aslan, do you know what happened to Shihe recently?"
However, there seems to be a visitor here, a new member of the Minerva pilots, the third FAITH of the Minerva who boarded the ship in Diokia, Heine Westenflaus.
"Hey, Aslan, how about we go have a drink together after we finish getting ready?"
This handsome guy with orange hair is a soldier with a bold personality but also a meticulous attitude. After he boarded the ship, the atmosphere among the pilots became much more harmonious. Even Zhen, who has always been unruly, admired him quite a lot. .
"No, I won't."
Aslan was still a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm, so he subconsciously resisted.
It happened that Lunamaria was coming over. She was very interested when she heard Heine's invitation and said, "It's hard to get to Gibraltar, so Aslan will go."
After a pause, she winked at Heine and said, "Count me in."
"Of course, the more people there are, the more lively it is. I like to be more noisy." Heine made an OK gesture, "I'll call them all, Lunamaria, watch Aslan and don't let him Slip away."
Looking at Heine's back, Aslan smiled bitterly, "I really lost to him."
