Earth--
The self-defense regulations signed by Durandal brought great changes to the situation on Earth.
As the warships of the ZAFT Army appeared above the earth, they were preparing to airborne at the Kapantalia Base and Gibraltar Base.
The Atlantic Federation also sent an ultimatum to Orb.
'In order to prevent the tragedy of the country's fall from happening again——'
Cagalli, who had lost hope for a peaceful transition due to the plant move, agreed to sign a letter of intent to join the United Earth Alliance in the Orb Council.
The white flag surrounded by black chess pieces is actually dead chess pieces, it just looks like it's still alive.
Without the help of absolute external forces, its death or assimilation is just a matter of time.
Delaying the signing of the treaty for one day was the most helpful thing Cagalli could do for the Minerva.
After the cabinet meeting, Cagalli immediately went to Yu Neng Qi Lu and went straight to the dock where the Minerva was located.
After the alliance was concluded, the Minerva became an enemy ship.
They may already know the news, but Cagalli always wants to convey it personally and apologize to them,
This was the only sincerity she could show.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Cagalli walked into the passage and happened to meet Zhen Asuka and others walking from the branch road.
Cagalli stiffened subconsciously.
"...What are you here for?"
Zhen Fei glared at her with sharp eyes, and spat out disdainfully: "The Earth Army that attacked Orb back then is about to form an alliance now? Why are you so unprincipled in what you do?"
Cagalli was speechless and couldn't help but lower her head.
Cagalli felt that she had once again broken her promise and that she was forced to deviate from the path she believed in. Now she has nothing to say.
"Since you regard us as enemies, it's up to me to destroy you! What a bullshit country this is!"
Without this roar, Zhen Feiniao walked past her without looking back.
"real……!"
Cagalli couldn't help but shout to his background.
She knew that forming an alliance was wrong, but...she didn't want to let other children experience real pain...
Even this kind of rhetoric is just my own excuse.
In the end, Cagalli couldn't say anything and could only watch Asuka walk away.
As she walked past, Lunamaria glanced at Cagalli, her eyes obviously colder, but Lei still saluted her solemnly.
"Slow forward, Minerva - set sail!"
Following Thalia's command.
The light gray giant ship slowly sailed to the open sea.
Looking at the island gradually going away and recalling the scene just now, Thalia was filled with emotions for a moment.
The national representative, who was only eighteen years old, deeply apologized to himself as the captain of ZAFT.
The young face was full of haggard, with thick shadows falling between the eyebrows.
This alliance was most likely not her will, but she made no excuses and just silently endured the needle-like gazes of the crew members.
There is no doubt that Cagalli's ideals are correct and noble.
But politics is never driven by ideals alone.
She didn't have the strength necessary to carry out justice at a young age.
This decision can only be said to be an inevitable result.
Therefore, even though the two sides have become 'enemies', Thalia still admires Cagalli.
If all those in power had the same ideas and ideals as she does, there would probably be no war in the world.
"We are about to leave Orb's territorial waters."
Arthur's voice was vaguely cheerful.
Although the situation does not allow for carelessness, after a long stay in a foreign country, it is always refreshing to sail again, let alone on this beautiful South China Sea.
"I wonder how the landing operation is going? Are you still unable to contact Kapantalia?"
Thalia asked.
"Yes, we are continuing to call..."
At this moment, Baator on the right held his breath, and Thalia looked over reflexively.
"There is a large amount of heat reaction in the front of this ship! - This is... a fleet! The Earth Army fleet!"
Baator shouted nervously, and Thalia couldn't believe her ears.
In front of the screen, including four aircraft carriers, there are more than 20 Earth Army fleets - and judging from the formation, they have been waiting here for a long time.
"What's going on? As soon as we leave Orb's territorial waters, we encounter these...!"
"Are they waiting for us here in ambush? Aren't all the Earth forces at the Kapantalia base?"
More shocking reports were yet to come.
"Behind... there is an Orb fleet on the Orb territorial waters... being deployed!"
Ba Tuo's tone also sounded like he couldn't believe it, and then added:
"The turret rotates! It's heading towards our ship!"
"Why is this! Why...?"
Arthur's honest head probably couldn't accept it for a while, but Thalia already understood it completely.
"It means - we are not allowed to return to the territorial waters. It seems that we were sent out as gifts or something...!"
Thalia spat angrily.
To show submission, offer enemy ships - this is probably the agreement reached between Orb and the Atlantic Federation. Just thinking about it gives people goosebumps.
"Obviously the contract hasn't been officially signed yet, Orb is so cunning!"
For a moment, Cagalli's face came to mind.
Could it be that he was deceived by that sentimental face?
"captain……"
Arthur looked at Thalia, looking completely bewildered.
"Oh, it's true! It's useless to say anything!"
She interrupted her thoughts and yelled.
"Issue a red alert! Cover the bridge! Prepare to fight against ships and MSs! This is a battle in the atmosphere, Arthur! Do you know what to do?"
"Yes Yes!"
Arthur was so frightened by her drink that he hurriedly took his seat and began to prepare for battle.
Sitting in the busy bridge, Thalia bit her fingers.
The subordinates have not realized that facing such a large fleet, unless a miracle happens, they have only two ways to go.
Either surrender or be sunk.
But Thalia didn't want to surrender at all.
"Issuing a red alert! The pilot is on standby inside the aircraft immediately!"
Zhen and Lunamaria looked at each other in surprise, only to see Lei running towards the door. The two men hurriedly followed, their voices unable to conceal their panic.
"Red? Why?"
Of course, Lunamaria didn't have any other answer.
"How do I know! Why do you ask me?"
After leaving Orb's territorial waters, they will sail to Carpantalia, and they will definitely have a battle with the Earth Alliance Army surrounding the base on the way.
This was expected, but it didn't happen so quickly?
"Captain Thalia Kuradis announced to the crew of the Minerva,"
As soon as they rushed into the hangar, Thalia's voice sounded in the spacious space.
"Currently, there is an Earth military fleet including four aircraft carriers in front of this ship, and an Orb warship that is suspected of guarding the country's territorial waters is deployed behind it."
Upon hearing this information, the staff who were busy inspecting the aircraft screamed.
"Four aircraft carriers?"
"Orb is behind...?"
Zhen and Lunamaria were also confused about the situation.
"The Earth Army may have known about the ship's departure a long time ago and had laid a dragnet beforehand. At the same time, Orb also closed the rear door."
Thalia's tone was cold, urging them to accept this fact: "Only by breaking through the Earth's fleet in front can we have a chance of survival. The battle at this moment will be more severe than before, and this ship must make every effort to break through the difficulties! "
"I hope you will uphold the dignity of the crew of the Minerva and fight unyieldingly until the end!"
Thalia's voice struck hard in the hearts of the crew.
Sad expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Facing four aircraft carriers, it is impossible for one battleship to defeat them.
The captain used the words "unyielding" to convey her hidden message.
That is, we are going to die fighting here.
——We were betrayed by Orb.
Shin Asuka's heart boiled with anger more than fear.
Orb, who once defended his country's beliefs and fought unyieldingly until the very end, has fallen to this level!
"hateful--!"
He roared and charged into the Pulse Gundam Core Shuttle.
How could we die in a place like this!
If he died, wouldn't he take advantage of those guys?
Quickly starting the machine, he watched the light turn green.
"Main Asuka, Pulse Gundam—attack!"
While roaring, the core shuttle rushed out of the battleship.
Anger was his driving force at the moment.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It seems that everyone has watched the anime.
So I won’t write the subsequent battle scenes in detail, otherwise you’ll have to scold me to death if I write this——
Level 12.

Forget it, I'll just write it out tomorrow and make it free.
