The shock brought by Junius!
Chapter 1341 The shock brought by Junius!
"Bang!"
The sound of the folder falling to the ground woke everyone in the office from their shock.
"Pack up your documents and go out and calm down!"
The calm and attractive voice attracted everyone's attention to the figure sitting behind the desk.
"Yes! I'm so sorry! Mr. Speaker!"
The secretary, who had lost her composure, bent down to pick up the scattered documents, apologized profusely, and quickly left the office.
The Speaker, leaning back in his chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the scene on the screen.
"Do you know which unit this is?"
The Speaker pondered for a moment and looked at the people standing in the office, especially those wearing ZAFT purple uniforms.
Many people in the crowd exchanged glances and fell into thought, but soon everyone's eyes were cast on the people wearing ZAFT purple uniforms.
These gazes, especially those from the Speaker, weighed heavily on them like a mountain, and there was no possibility of escaping them.
Finally, a middle-aged man with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead spoke.
"Judging from the markings on the machines, they should be the MS unit led by Saito. But..."
"but?"
The Speaker frowned slightly.
"Any questions?"
The purple-clad man from Zaft nodded repeatedly.
"Yes. In addition to Saito's MS team, there are other MS from other teams, as well as some equipment that Saito himself cannot obtain and use. For example, those flare engines. These things, without the approval of the National Defense Committee, ordinary MS teams cannot touch them at all."
"In that case, there is an insider in our National Defense Committee who assisted Saito and his men in planning this operation?"
The Speaker's expression gradually became gloomy, and the ZAFT man in purple was so frightened that he tried to explain again and again, but he still couldn't make out the reason.
Finally, the Speaker closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment before giving orders.
"From now on, the National Defense Council and ZAFT must conduct self-examination."
"Yes! Speaker!"
The ZAFT Purple and the representatives of the National Defense Committee present responded immediately.
Gilbert Durandal.
Since becoming the Speaker during the chaos after the First World War, this Speaker has used his powerful skills to sort out the post-war chaos in PLANT, and then reorganized ZAFT, laying the foundation for the subsequent economic recovery.
Faced with the gradually improving environment and no longer being oppressed by the Earth Federation, the new speaker's prestige becomes stronger and stronger, and the people of PLANT are increasingly impressed by him and willing to be under his command.
"Well, the National Defense Committee and ZAFT are now in your hands. I hope to find the problem as soon as possible. After all, this is no small matter. If Junius 7 really crashes into the Earth, I'm afraid that we PLANT will once again face difficulties from the Earth, or even a new round of all-out war."
When they heard about all-out war, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"Also, I hope to hold a meeting of the Supreme Council later. All members who can come will be present! Members who cannot come must participate in the meeting via encrypted communications."
"Yes! Speaker."
After everyone left, Gilbert Durandal slowly stood up, walked to the sofa, lowered his eyes, and looked at the chessboard on the table that had not been moved for a long time.
"Who is planning all this? Since the last war, the influence of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation has been declining. In addition, the Eurasian Federation has gradually become more and more united with the Atlantic Federation. I am afraid that there is no force on Earth that can launch such a large-scale attack."
Gilbert Durandal raised his hand and picked up the chess piece called "Knight", but it hung in the air for a long time without being placed.
"Could it be that some people finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
Gilbert Durandal put the "Knight" back in its place, turned back to his desk, and opened the communication line. "It's me! Connect to Minerva."
"Yes! Speaker."
Satellite Fortress, Yakin Duwei, Port No. 1, Minerva.
Captain Minerva, who was looking at the special news from the Solar Energy Construction Alliance with a serious expression, suddenly received an encrypted communication from PLANT's homeland.
After a little surprise, Talia knew who the encrypted communication came from.
"It's me. How did you find time to call me, Jill?"
"Yeah. I just finished dealing with some things, and I wanted to hear your voice."
On the other side of the communication, the voice of Gilbert Durandal was heard.
Talia could hear a hint of barely perceptible fatigue behind this steady voice.
"Really? Well, how about I guess what you're thinking about right now?"
Gilbert Durandal was a little surprised, but he also smiled.
"Truth or truth time? Okay. Talia, go ahead and ask!"
Talia raised her eyes and glanced at the news that was showing Junius 7's footage.
"You're thinking about the news that's being broadcast around the world right now, right, Jill?"
"...Haha. Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Talia."
Gilbert Durandal smiled bitterly and sighed.
Originally, he wanted to play a small game with Talia to ease his mood, but he didn't expect that his smart lover could guess what he was worried about at once.
"It's nothing, Jill. Your voice has changed."
Gilbert Durandal was silent for a moment at his lover's response.
Then he spoke again.
"Thalia. If it were you, would you be able to find a way out of that situation?"
"cannot!"
Talia's reply was so straightforward that Gilbert Durandal was caught off guard.
"This... is a really surprising answer to me."
"Really? Although I don't want to admit it, I really can't find a way to break the situation. According to the information shown in this special news, the battle over there in the orbital elevator is indeed difficult to break, but there is always a chance."
Thalia took a slow breath.
"But Junius No. 7 is probably in a dead end!"
"Dead end?"
Gilbert Durandal's voice gradually became deeper.
"Yes. A dead end. Although it is not mentioned in the news, perhaps, at the same time as the attackers began their actions, the fleet of the East Asian Republic had already appeared near Junius 7 in time and launched a sniper operation."
"Besides that, I still can't figure out what technology the East Asian Republic and the Solar Energy Construction Alliance used to get the falling Junius 7 back to its original orbit."
"Jill, who do you think is the person in the East Asian Republic and the Solar Energy Construction Alliance who can do this and stop Junius 7 from falling?"
