Captain, your ship has exploded again.
Chapter 99 Seizing the Technology of the Anti-Corruption Agreement
As the blockade fleet of the Purge Agreement reached the various shipping lanes of the colony satellites, all communications between PLANT satellites were controlled, and major television and news outlets reported that the Purge Agreement warships had been attacked and hijacked.
The reactions of the reconciliationists were mixed. Some agreed that the purge agreement should be taught a lesson, while others worried about the harm that the purge agreement could cause in the event of a counterattack. There were also so-called surrender factions who went around making false accusations, claiming to know who was behind it.
However, regardless of who they were, they all expressed dissatisfaction with Durandal because the information censorship meant that Durandal was the only one giving a speech on television, urging everyone to be rational and not be provoked by unknown forces, and to unite to overcome difficulties, among other meaningless remarks.
However, he can't be blamed entirely. After all, the radicals have started to disobey the parliament's orders, while the obedient and reliable Minerva is still locked down on Earth. The Speaker's forces have been reduced to an all-time low.
With the waterway blocked, food reserves and other resources in the other nine satellite cities began to decline, and the quality of life was significantly lower than before.
"What are these radicals doing! Why are they attacking the warships of the Purge Agreement! Now that all the cities are under blockade, it's only a matter of time before they are found!" Durandal shouted angrily at the meeting.
“All communications are now controlled, and video information is subject to censorship. It’s impossible to contact the radicals. The radicals who remain here only know that they want to obtain technology from the enemy, but they don’t know what they’ve obtained or where they’ve gone,” a member of parliament said.
"Now is not the time to create factional divisions or engage in political maneuvering. If we are not careful, the Purge Agreement will find an excuse to attack the satellite city and everything will be over! Without all the Coordinators, our faction's victory will be meaningless!" Durandal clenched his fists, staring at the radical senator like an enraged lion.
"It's too late to say anything now! These people don't use their brains when they do things. Now that we're under lockdown, what can we do?" a member of parliament asked.
Another member of parliament said, "The only way now is to abandon the colony satellite where the radicals are hiding, use light to send the radicals' code, exchange a satellite for the technology they have acquired, and let the radicals there sacrifice themselves to block the reason for the purge agreement to attack."
Durandal slumped back in his chair, looking somewhat helpless: "That's all we can do. Prepare to send out rescue teams; we'll save as many as we can!"
Meanwhile, Lux, who was hiding in L4, also learned about the abnormal status of the colony.
"According to information from external observers, the purge agreement has blocked all satellite channels and imposed communication restrictions. We do not yet know why, but it is likely related to the radicals. Durandal has clearly been unable to suppress the radicals during this period."
Lux floated to the front of the command platform to discuss with Andrew and Aisha.
“We have far too little information right now, and the Purge Agreement is acting too quickly. We need the help of other forces,” Andrew said hesitantly.
"Who can help PLANT now? The Earth Alliance has withdrawn all its forces and is preparing to fight the Purge to the death. We can't possibly fight them on our own," Lux said helplessly.
"Perhaps we don't need to fight them." After saying that, the mobile command platform pointed to the moon.
“There is still an Earth military base on the moon, and the PLANT satellite city is currently in a war zone. We could consider relocating Democracy to the Copernicus colony base,” he said, pointing to two locations on the moon.
“They won’t agree. The military base on the moon is controlled by the Blue Cosmos people. They will never agree to support PLANT. Besides, Copernicus can’t support nearly 6 million people,” Lux shook her head.
“I didn’t say they should support us.” Andrew looked at Lux, leaving something unsaid.
Lux hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are indeed a few Earth Force spaceships and mobile suits at the factory, but this mission is almost certainly a death sentence!"
"Saving PLANT is unavoidable!"
Just as the two were struggling with their decision, the communicator called out.
"The observers on PLANT have spotted an unusual reflective phenomenon, it's very rhythmic, it looks like a dense light code!" The communications officer showed the captured footage to the two of them.
Upon arriving at the monitoring screen, we saw intermittent lights appearing on the Capital Satellite.
“This is the radical faction’s coded message. Go find some radical faction intelligence and translate this content,” Lux instructed the others, having already noticed the pattern.
As the decoding work progressed, the decoded content was soon handed over to the two of them.
Andrew looked at the deciphered content and said, "It seems that the council intends to abandon the satellite where the radicals are hiding. If what is said here is true, then the radicals have captured the Purge Agreement warship and intend to acquire the other side's technology. But if this happens, the 50 civilians in the satellite will be the victims of this confrontation."
Lux hardened her heart and agreed to the idea of disguising herself as the Earth Force to divert the attention of the Purge Agreement, so that the Purge Agreement would notice the Earth Force base on the moon.
If the Purge Agreement sends warships, it can alleviate the pressure on PLANT. Furthermore, the lunar base will only need repairs after the war before people can move in. Even if no warships are sent and only ground troops are used to retaliate, it will be easy to gain control of the base.
As the satellite city clusters around which the three parties each have their own plans, things are starting to get lively.
After the radicals in the MUS3 deciphered the secret code, they did not rush to respond. Instead, they copied the acquired technology multiple times and entrusted it to several people for safekeeping, including radicals, civilians, and Kleinists.
Indeed, the radicals do not believe they can escape the retaliation of the Purge Agreement this time. They chose Mayus 3 because it has a well-equipped MS factory that can verify these technologies and some of them are already being manufactured at an accelerated pace.
Faced with powerful aliens, even the radicals had to adapt. They didn't intend to return alive from this mission. The gap in weapons and technology made them realize that no matter how much they struggled, as long as the technological gap remained, humanity would never win.
Factory No. 3 still has a lot of spare parts and unfinished mobile suits and battleships. They are working overtime to repair the captured cruisers and rush to produce a batch of transport ships and mobile suits.
Only after they had completed their preparations did they use the optical code to reply with their location information. Now, all they could do was wait for a satellite to break free and minimize the impact on the Maius 3 satellite during the battle with the Purge Agreement.
Lux gave them this opportunity. After confirming the satellite where the radicals were hiding, the next day three GirtyLue-class spaceships painted in Earth Force colors silently sailed toward the rear of the Purge Agreement fleet.
These three warships also used the mirage system for camouflage, but this time the warships and mobile suits were equipped with a large number of nuclear weapons, which were the last resort of the Earth Force in the last battle.
Both the terminal and the factory, which pursue peace, are capable of manufacturing nuclear weapons. Seeing that PLANT and the Earth Alliance are no longer abiding by the agreement, the factory itself also begins to manufacture nuclear weapons.
The atmosphere on the warship was unusually heavy, because this mission was a one-way trip. Anyone who had experienced Junius 7 knew that nuclear weapons had limited effect on the Purge Agreement.
However, the situation is urgent and there are not many good options at the moment. We can only hope that the technology we have acquired this time can be of some help to humanity.
