Chapter 399: One Step Away From Peace
The Dawn Gundam moved forward and eliminated all the blockers. It took countless turns inside Genesis and finally arrived at the core area. Through the detection of nuclear radiation, it soon found the storage area of the nuclear bomb.
"Five minutes left." Yang Hui looked at the time, parked the Dawn Gundam aside and got off the plane, and began to set up. The safest way is to set up a timed detonator, and then evacuate to a position where it can safely evacuate Genesis after calculation, in case someone removes the set timed detonator and is too late to stop it.
After setting up, Yang Hui immediately returned to the Dawn Gundam, and then came to a safe position to wait, and contacted the White Tiger as soon as possible.
"Where are you?"
"We have successfully left the combat area, we will wait for you at S45."
"Okay."
After confirming that the White Tiger was safe, Yang Hui was relieved. As for whether the ZAFT troops had evacuated to a safe area and whether they would be affected by the explosion of Genesis, that was not his concern.
When the countdown reached the last 20 seconds, the Dawn Gundam burst into flames and left Genesis at the fastest speed along the shortest route. When the Dawn Gundam rushed out of Genesis, the countdown also came to an end.
The Dawn Gundam did not stop and continued to fly towards the safe area. Along the way, there were many MS and warships of the ZAFT army running around like headless flies. Yang Hui could not care so much. Bit attached to the wings and ran at full speed. As long as there were MS or warships blocking the Dawn Gundam, they were all split in two, and did not stop the Dawn Gundam's steps for even a second!
At this time, Genesis began to twist, and fierce flames broke out inside. The energy of destruction erupted instantly, tearing Genesis into pieces. The light of the flames shone on this universe like the sun. For a while, everyone could not adapt to the strong light and closed their eyes.
Slowly, the burning pain subsided, and people opened their eyes slightly, watching the sun-like explosion. The brilliance could not dissipate for a long time, and it was difficult to restore the brain's function for a while.
"This... this is..."
"Genesis... Genesis exploded..."
"How could it be..."
At this time, Isalia Juer, who was still in charge of the command in Yakin Duwei, was the first to come to his senses and ask about the current situation.
"Why did Genesis explode? Where is Speaker Sara?"
"Yes... yes..." Under Isalia Juer's roar, the subordinates gradually came to their senses and began to panic to confirm the current situation.
"Yes... it was Dawn! Dawn broke into Genesis and detonated the nuclear bomb!"
"Friendly warships report that most people in Genesis have evacuated in advance, and Dawn issued an explosion warning in advance, but Mr. Speaker... Mr. Speaker..."
"Don't hesitate, tell me! What happened to Mr. Speaker!?"
"Mr. Speaker... has died in the line of duty..."
"How could it be..."
Hearing the news of Patrick Sara's death, Isalia Juer lost her backbone and seemed to have lost all her strength. The same thing happened to everyone who was also Patrick Sara's loyal followers.
They are all the backbone of the radicals and loyal followers of the "Adjuster Supremacy" doctrine, but their core and pillar has always been Patrick Sarah, and it was Patrick Sarah who made them see the hope of achieving their goals, and now...
At this moment, the door of the command room opened, and Irene Kanaba, who was supposed to be dismissed and imprisoned, rushed in with soldiers and controlled all the backbones of the radicals such as Isalia Juer.
"Irene Kanaba, you..."
"Long time no see, Isalia Juer, and everyone present, after discussion and decision by the Supreme Council, you and everyone present are arrested for treason."
"What!? Treason? What's going on? I am one of the representatives of the Supreme Council, why don't I know? And you! You are a prisoner, how can you participate in the Supreme Council?" Isalia Juer roared.
"An hour ago, you were no longer in office, and I was reinstated. Patrick Sara was also removed from the positions of Speaker and Defense Committee Chairman. All the Sara faction is guilty of treason."
"Damn it, you bastard Klein faction..."
If she still hasn't figured out what's going on, Azaria Juul has lived in vain for so many years. This is the Klein faction taking advantage of the opportunity to seize power!
But knowing it is knowing it, the matter is done, and she currently has no way to resist, otherwise, she will be fed a bullet without waiting for her to really prove the crime.
Irene Kanaba ordered the soldiers to control all the Sara faction backbones present, and announced to the innocent soldiers present: "Patrick Sara, Azaria Juul... all of the above are arrested for treason. Now I will take over the command and immediately open the global communication channel!"
"Got it... Got it..."
Some people understood something, some people didn't understand anything, but they all acquiesced to the fact that Irene Kanaba temporarily took over as the commander. There was no way. This was a game between the top leaders. As grassroots personnel, they could only execute it, and even had to sever ties with the Sara faction to prevent being implicated.
The global communication channel was connected, and Irene Kanaba immediately issued an order and speech: "Notify the ZAFT Army and the Orb Army in the universe..."
Yes, it is the Orb Army. Although Orb is now in a state of collapse, the leadership team headed by Yang Hui is still there, and they also have very formidable armed forces in their hands. After discussion by the Supreme Council, Orb is still treated as a country.
"…At present, PLANT has begun to prepare for armistice negotiations with the Earth Army, the Orb Army and the PLANT member states. In view of this, the PLANT Provisional Supreme Council proposes to the Orb Army to stop all combat actions in the current universe. I repeat, the PLANT Provisional Supreme Council proposes to the Orb Army to stop all combat actions in the current universe."
"Mr. Canaba, there is a communication request to connect!"
"Take it!"
"Understood."
The communication was connected, and Yang Hui's voice appeared on the big screen: "I am Yang Hui, the commander-in-chief of the Orb Army. On behalf of the Orb Army, I accept the proposal of the PLANT Provisional Supreme Council. We are willing to accept the request for an armistice."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang Hui." Irene Canaba breathed a sigh of relief. The Orb Army led by Yang Hui was the biggest variable in this war. Although they were few in number, no one would doubt their weight. If Yang Hui insisted on not stopping the war, then the armistice negotiations would become a joke, and even if ZAFT and the Earth Army reached a peace agreement, it would be meaningless.
"It doesn't matter. Orb's position will not change. I hope there will be no more estrangements in this world."
"I understand, Mr. Yang Hui. Now the main fleet of the Earth Army is attacking the Boyaz Fortress. We have also proposed a ceasefire negotiation in time, but the main fleet of the Earth Army seems to have rebelled. Some of the fleets ignored our request. You see..."
"I understand. I will inform the Archangel and the Eternal to stop the war. You should prepare for the peace talks as soon as possible. Your extreme behavior in this war has caused very serious consequences. Please give the world a satisfactory explanation." Yang Hui reminded.
"We will prepare well."
"That's all."
After the communication ended, Irene Canaba asked the accompanying Klein faction senior officers to take over the command. She was still self-aware. She was not cut out for this. Moreover, the battle near Yakin Duwei had been declared over. All she needed to do was to gather the troops and clean up the battlefield.
"You traitors, you are the traitors of PLANT! You weak Klein faction, you actually surrendered to the natural man..." When Irene Kanaba passed by Isalia Juul, Isalia Juul roared angrily. Originally, they had the upper hand in this war between the adjusters and the natural man. Even if ZAFT lost Genesis, the Earth Army still had nuclear bombs.
The troops led by Yang Hui were targeting the nuclear weapons troops. Without Genesis, wouldn't the only target they were targeting be the Earth Army? Isn't that the invisible ally of the ZAFT Army? The ZAFT Army still has a large number of troops. As long as they can send more troops to join forces with the garrison troops of the Boyatz Fortress to destroy the main fleet of the Earth Army, the entire universe will be their backyard. At that time, they will continue to launch a counterattack and recapture the Carpentaria Base and Gibraltar Base that fell on Earth.
But now, because the weak Klein faction decided to negotiate for peace, all this has been destroyed.
With the destruction caused by Genesis, Isalia Juul could imagine how much it would cost for PLANT to complete the armistice and peace talks. Selling out the interests of the country for a short-term peace and their own interests, what else could this be but traitor?
"Correct your mistake, Isalia Juul. What we want is peace, equal peace talks, and... the target of the temporary Supreme Council's peace talks... is Orb, not the Earth Union."
"What?"
Isalia Juul widened her eyes and looked at Irene Kanaba in disbelief: "You... actually surrendered to a country that has already fallen..."
"You should know better than me about the Orb army led by His Excellency Yang Hui."
After that, Irene Kanaba ignored Isalia Juul's arguments and waved her hand to have her and the backbone of the Sara faction suppressed. She had to return to the temporary Supreme Council immediately. They still had to prepare for peace talks and the price of the armistice.
…
Yang Hui received a request for a ceasefire, and the White Tiger naturally received it as well. They had no objection to Yang Hui's acceptance. They came here to stop the war. Genesis was destroyed, and the PLANT Council proposed a ceasefire and peace talks. This was the best result.
Now, there is only one step away from peace. The only obstacle is the Earth Fleet that is patient and unwilling to give up the fight.
"What's the situation with the Archangel and the Eternal?" The Dawn Gundam returned to the White Tiger, and Yang Hui came to the bridge without even changing his clothes.
"It's very bad. Irene Canaba didn't tell the truth. Not only are there people in the Earth Army who are unwilling to cease fire, but there are also people in the ZAFT Army. Now the Archangel and the Eternal have been jointly attacked by the two forces."
"As expected, the White Tiger will provide full support and call the ZAFT Army to let them restrain their own people, otherwise I will terminate the armistice agreement. At the same time, tell Malu to contact Halberdon and take care of his subordinates, otherwise we will join the ZAFT Army and fight them together!"
