Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"What on earth are you doing? Why did you do such a stupid thing! How could you all join in this nonsense? Kidnapping a national leader at a wedding ceremony is something that will get you wanted worldwide! Who gave you permission to do this?!" Cagalli angrily questioned from the bridge.

Everyone turned to look at Zhang Xun.

"Why are you looking at me! Look at the blackboard! Do I have words on my face?! I came up with the idea, but Kira did the actual work. I was just responsible for scattering flower petals," Zhang Xun replied with a shrug.

At this moment, Kira stepped forward: "But there's nothing we can do about it. If even you, Cagalli, do something foolish in this situation, then this world is truly beyond saving."

“Foolish thing? What do you mean by foolish thing! I am Orb’s representative! I have been worrying and thinking about how to prevent Orb from being involved in the war.”

"So that's why you married Seran?" Kira questioned.

"Stop, stop, stop! What do you mean you have to marry Seran for Orb? Wouldn't it be better to find someone from the Atlantic Federation? Marrying a dog of the Earth Federation and having its owner protect you? What kind of thinking is that? Besides, the Atlantic Federation itself is barely surviving right now." Zhang Xun couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

Cagalli was taken aback and asked, "The Atlantic Federation is struggling to survive? What do you mean?"

He shrugged and walked to the control panel, where he displayed the post-war photos of Wang Ge's attacks on various cities in the Atlantic Federation.

"When I passed through the Atlantic Federation, I discovered that their inland cities had been attacked. The attackers were the Purge Agreement, which suddenly emerged during this period, and their target was very clear: to attack all factories and energy facilities."

The crowd saw photos of ruins in various cities of the Atlantic Federation displayed on the screen.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't we know about this?"

"It'll be soon! More and more cities are being destroyed, and news will soon reach all nations of the Earth Union. Because the Purge Agreement attack cut off local power and signal, and the Atlantic Federation is intentionally blocking access, we'll find out later."

Cagalli screamed, clutching her head in a frenzy, "Are you saying all the sacrifices I made before were in vain?!"

"Not really. At least you've successfully dragged Orb into the war between the Earth Alliance and PLANT. Soon, your chosen husband will lead your country's soldiers to participate in the attack on the Minerva," Zhang Xun said nonchalantly as he pulled out the data disk.

"Impossible, this is impossible! How did you know about the Earth Alliance and Orb's military operations!" Cagalli immediately denied what Zhang Xun said.

"How simple! Use your pig brain to think about it. Even when you pay homage to a powerful faction, you have to offer a pledge of allegiance. Let alone a country. After all the calculations, the only ship that fits Orb's attack criteria is the Minerva. The importance of a single ship is comparable to that of a military base, bringing both political and military gains!"

"Enough!" Cagalli knelt on the ground in anguish.

Mu and Kira were about to stop Zhang Xun when Natal stopped them. Zhang Xun walked past Kira and took back the ring that Athrun had given Cagalli.

"Politics and military affairs are complementary. Your father's lack of military strength led to the first destruction of Orb."

The problem you, a naive and romantic little girl, made was that you thought politics was about compromise, about everyone getting along well. You need to understand that weak countries have no diplomacy. Compromising all the time is like feeding a wild beast with your own flesh and blood. When the time comes, it will use the power given to you by your flesh and blood to kill you.

Now you must consider how to become the backbone of Orb, while the people of Orb must become its muscles and skin, and the soldiers are its weapons. When you relinquish your weapons, it is tantamount to handing over your own flesh and blood to the enemy to cut off.

He then picked up Aslan's ring and placed it in Cagalli's hand.

"You're lucky Athrun has a complicated background. If used properly, he can be a check on the Earth Forces." That's assuming there's no purge agreement. He then got up and left.

As he passed Mu, he said, "Please look after Aub and this child."

Upon seeing Maru, he took out two items from his backpack: "I obtained these through the Atlantic Federation. They seem to produce individual starch rations and water. Although they don't taste very good, the people over there in the Atlantic are destroying them. Take a look and spread the word."

At that moment, Frey immediately walked to the gate and called out to Zhang Xun.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

Without turning around, he said, "I'm going back to the Archangel!"

"I heard it was you who saved me!" Frey then bowed deeply and said, "Thank you!"

He waved his hand and led Natal to the hangar to board UD4 and head to the landing site of the Archangel.

On the way, Zhang Xun suddenly remembered that Mu hadn't been taken back by the Earth Forces. Who was the Phantom Pain Commander? Oh well, it's none of my business anyway, I wasn't the one fighting.

After piloting the UD4 into outer space and arriving aboard the Archangel, I received a communication from Wang Ge as soon as I sat on the bridge.

"Old Zhang, there are some things that need your decision."

Zhang Xun picked up the juice handed to him by the robot next to him and asked.

"What's wrong? What did you guys mess up?"

"It wasn't exactly smashed! ZAFT and the others repaired the Poyaz Fortress and fired a shot at us. Our downgraded shields couldn't withstand it. Although we captured Amori City in L4 as planned, what about the even bigger one in L5?"

He put down the juice bag in his hand and said, "I thought it was something serious! You four can't even muster half a brain. The battleships and cruisers should attack from two opposing directions. That lousy fortress can only be attacked from one direction. Whoever gets close enough should just destroy the enemy."

"Is this the end?"

"It's over. How else do you want to fight? Space warfare is a three-dimensional attack. Weapons that can only be used in one direction are called turrets. Only those that can both maneuver, defend, and attack are called fleets. Remember, when you fight, the two fleets should attack in opposite directions, but not in a straight line."

Zhang Xun began contacting the Purge Alliance forces on Earth. Seeing that most of the inland cities and factories in the Atlantic had been captured, he planned to mobilize another 100 cruisers to begin a ground expulsion plan.

After all, there aren't many PLANT locations in space. This attack by Wang Ge and his team will quickly cause panic among the PLANT population, and when radical factions emerge, the Speaker will be in for a lot of trouble.

The real priority is to first subdue the Earth faction and make both sides direct their attacks at the anti-corruption agreement.

"How many mechanized infantry and fighter jets have been built?" Zhang Xun asked as he checked Earth-related data and searched for landing and attack sites.

"Since acquiring some materials, production capacity has reached 74%, the number of mechanized infantry has reached 5, and the number of fighter jets has reached 3," Natal reported.

"Huh? Why are there so few fighter jets?" After checking the data, I found that Wang Ge had transferred a batch of them.

“The fleet logs show signs of modification. According to the central computer records, Wang Ge and his men not only took a hit, but also lost a number of their aircraft.” Natal checked the Mars Central Data Center.

"Tch! Wang Ge can't even modify data. Doesn't he know that there isn't just one data record? Bring over the robotic infantry and fighter jets."

"Have you chosen the attack location?"

"Dispatch 30 ships starting from the South African Unity Agency, and another 70 cruisers attacking from the northern part of the Eurasian Federation. During the attack, they split into 20 and 50 ships and advance in two directions. One of them will join forces with the South African Unity Agency, and another TX force will be brought in."

Then he pointed at Orb: "Give Cagalli some face and deal with Orb one last time. Tell the Atlantic Federation to destroy the factories and other facilities as soon as possible. Remember to preserve their transportation vehicles. Once all the factories and other facilities are destroyed, drive everyone to the Oceania Federation and tell them to all go to the moon."

"The moon doesn't have enough space to accommodate so many people!" The plan did not clearly explain the eviction process.

"Not everyone needs to go up. Wang Ge's progress will be faster than ours. Let PLANT's Coordinators go to the moon to build an immigration base. Also, let PLANT capture a cruiser and remember to put some technology for quickly building an immigration space station on it."

Drifting to the bridge window, looking at Earth, he murmured, "Any change and integration is a massacre. I hope humanity won't be so easily broken."
