Chapter 1848 Shocking News of Death!
General Blake Fraser is dead!
He was assassinated by unknown individuals at his camp in the secluded valley.
This news instantly ignited the atmosphere in Chabro.
The initial excitement and fervor surrounding Chabro's surrender, coupled with the news that the Empire would send dignitaries to attend the Federal Parliament meeting, abruptly plummeted to freezing point.
One second it was a warm and festive atmosphere, the next it turned into a heavy low-pressure storm sweeping across the entire Chabro.
Armored vehicles carrying heavily armed soldiers, along with armored units constantly appearing from all directions, replaced the ostentatious sight of news media vehicles parading through the streets, effectively blocking off all major transportation routes.
Looking at the tense soldier, Diego sighed deeply and covered his face in speechless frustration.
Good things don't work, but bad things do.
What I was discussing with Durandal yesterday has come true today.
"Sigh. Follow the original plan and do a good job of security. Don't let anyone in, but don't leave the base without permission."
"Yes! Captain!"
All the ZAFT soldiers responded in unison.
Back inside the house, Diego saw Durandal sitting in front of the television, looking relaxed and watching the news leisurely.
Diego paused for a moment, then sighed and walked over to Durandal, asking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Lord Durandal, you..."
Durandal chuckled and pointed to the single sofa on the left.
“Sit down! We won’t get involved in anything, so everything outside is none of our business.”
Upon hearing this, Diego completely gave up.
"Alright! I don't care anymore. I'll just focus on things within the base."
"exactly."
Durandal nodded in agreement.
"We don't need to get involved in anything. We just need to be good spectators at the Earth Federation Council meeting."
"How difficult it is!"
Diego sighed, feeling utterly lost.

"Blakes is dead."
Djamitov leaned back in his chair and calmly uttered those words.
Basque Om stood silently in front of the desk, not uttering a word.
"Get ready! In the previous attacks on members of parliament, some of our supporters were also injured or killed. Now is a very good opportunity. We'd better bring in those neutral members of parliament."
"Djamitov gave the order," Jamitov said.
"Yes! General."
Basque Om readily agreed and immediately turned and left the office.
As he watched the door slowly close, Djamitov's brows furrowed.
From his perspective, Blakes Vra died a very good death, a very right death. With the Punishment Force having resolved the Britannian Empire with a single move, the future of the Titans was almost predictable, and for that reason, the Titans needed to take a gamble.
But, with Blake Frat dead, will the Valley be able to be crushed? Will the Valley's remaining forces be seized and then challenge the Punishment?
Obviously, that's not enough.
Although Jamitov had some doubts about the true identity of Colonel Ming of Punishment, it was undeniable that behind Punishment stood Rebil and Tiam, two "mountains" capable of challenging for the position of Marshal of the Earth Federation.
Moreover, the old fox Gop, who has long been entrenched in Chabro headquarters, is also showing signs of wanting to support Punishment.
Leaving the former aside, the latter—the old fox Gop, who has always known how to protect himself and has always preferred negotiation to violent means such as military intervention, has shown such an attitude at this critical moment.
This forced Djamitov to devise more ways to offset the enemy's advantages from other angles and to gain more advantages for himself.
But!
Having successively driven out the extradimensional monsters, recaptured the city, and overthrown the empire overnight, forcing the aggressive empire to surrender on the spot, the rise of Punishment is unstoppable.
Among the intelligence channels that the Titans have already obtained, or have not yet obtained, there are rumors that more and more forces and organizations want to invest in the Earth Federation Army to punish criminals.
Although many of these rumors are unfounded, they do demonstrate, in some respects, that the prestige of the Punishment had reached an unimaginable level.
A newly established force whose fleet size and personnel are far inferior to those of the Titans to date has gained such great prestige in such a short period of time.
If the Titans' resources, personnel, and even fleet were all deployed to the Punishment, would the Titans still be needed in the Earth-Moon Sphere?
The answer seems obvious.
Conflict is inevitable.
In such a short period of time, if Djamitov is to find a balance and rebalance the influence of the Titans and the Punishment in the Earth-Moon sphere, he will need to make some changes.
For nothing else.
All for the sake of seizing the initiative.
In a secret facility on the outskirts of Chabro.
Dressed in casual clothes, Gop pushed open the door and scoffed at the man sitting in the room, who was leisurely flipping through a book while pouring himself a cup of tea.
"The outside world is in complete chaos. How can you, a dead man, sit here leisurely drinking tea and reading a book?"
The other person glanced at Gop, shrugged, and chuckled.
"Didn't you already say that I'm a dead man now? How things develop outside is no longer my concern."
"Heh~ That's easy for you to say. The Valley you founded is in complete chaos right now. Aren't you afraid it'll just disband on the spot?"
Gop glanced at the other man, then stepped forward and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid either."
The other party thought about it seriously for a moment.
"My purpose in founding the Valley was to resist the tyranny of the Titans. Although we haven't achieved much, we have gathered quite a few like-minded companions. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity brought by the punishment, let my companions carefully consider their future!"
"The founder of the Valley, General Blake Flaher of the Earth Federation Forces, put down his teacup and said solemnly."
According to news reports that have already swept the globe, this man, who is already dead, is now sitting in front of Gop and talking at length.
"Although I cannot contact General Rebil and General Tiam, I can vaguely sense that they are brewing a plan with great impact. And in this plan, the forces of Punishment alone are not enough."
"Therefore, I'm taking this opportunity you've given me to let the people of the Valley think carefully about what they really need and what they can do to achieve it."
"Instead of acting out of sheer rage against the Titans. If that were the case, even if the Valley doesn't become a second Titans after defeating them, it will perish as its target of hatred disappears."
I'm having some writer's block! Let me think about how to continue writing!
