Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe - Chapter 402 Past Events
In May of C.E. 72, in the ruins after the original Century Fortress exploded, several engineering Ginns were scattered among the wreckage, looking for something. Not far away was a ZAFT-standard Lorathia-class battleship.
“Recently, Gilbert Durandal, who entered the Senate as a researcher, overwhelmingly surpassed the Acting Speaker of Kanaba in the latest election. According to our station’s poll in Spring City, nearly 80% of PLANT citizens believe that Durandal’s political ideas can bring them”
“Snapped!”
Since it was a civilian model, Ginn’s cockpit could receive nearby radio signals, and what was being broadcast was the news of Durandal’s election success, but the driver didn’t seem to care about the subsequent content and chose to turn off the radio directly.
“Al, please don’t close it. This is the new speaker. I want to hear what the news has to say.”
Since only one of these project Ginns had enhanced communication capabilities as the on-site person in charge, the guy named Al turned off the broadcast, which was equivalent to turning off the ears of the entire team, and some people immediately started complaining.
“Hurry up and work hard. Once you find the things, you can return to the mothership. Then you can listen to whatever you want.”
“But Captain Al, don’t you think this mission is a bit strange? Genesis was blown into a pile of ruins half a year ago, what else can we find now?”
“Because that traitor Eileen Kanaba betrayed our country, we are going to use this secret mission to get a batch of combat MS. When the time comes, I will make sure those natural people pay with their blood.”
“What can we do alone?”
“If they dare to sign that kind of treaty on Junius, then I will smash this monument to the earth that bears witness to the hypocrisy of the Union and PLANT. I will let them know.”
“Captain Al, there is something discovered here!”
The captain’s aircraft with the long antenna found the location of the signal source. An engineer Ginn was holding an orange box with a slightly damaged appearance in his hands.
“Is everything still intact?”
“I did a rough inspection and found that the core data should have been preserved. It is worthy of being the black box of Genesis Fortress. The shell is too strong.”
Five days later, as the new Supreme Council Speaker Durandal had just signed a draft for ZAFT’s armament replacement, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
“Please come in.”
The magnetic voice made it impossible for anyone to feel disgusted. A few seconds later, Marxist-Straw walked in, holding a file bag marked “extremely confidential” in his hand.
“Speaker, this is the data you want. The institute just completed the repair today.”
“Now that you’re done, put it on the table.”
Malie placed the things in front of Durandal, and when he was about to salute and turn to leave, the familiar voice rang again.
“How are the preparations for the Pulse Pilot election?”
“I am very confident that I can become the only pilot of Impulse Gundam!”
“You are in good shape, but don’t be careless. Although your competitor has just graduated, his talent is outstanding among his peers. Don’t overturn at the last moment.”
“Yes! I will never let the Speaker down!”
Seeing Ma Li’s confident look, Durandal nodded with satisfaction and then signaled that he could leave the office. After a while, he first picked up the file bag and checked the sealing measures on it. After confirming that it had not been opened by anyone, he opened the bag.
There was a piece of data storage media in the bag. Durandal connected his PD to it, then entered three completely different password combinations, and finally passed the fingerprint and pupil authentication before successfully opening the screen.
What appeared on the screen was the core data of Genesis, which detailed the two launch records and Patrick’s crazy move of finally connecting the launch program with Jachin Due’s self-destruction program.
Durandal tapped his index finger on the table. There was no emotion in his pale yellow eyes. After a moment, he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: “Former Speaker Sarah, if this record is If it is made public, PLANT’s anti-war sentiment will surely be pushed to a new peak.”
The ink is still wet on the Junius Treaty, and it has been criticized by many people as a traitorous treaty, both in PLANT and on Earth. As the two main people responsible for signing the treaty, Yaweig on the Atlantic side and Kanaba on the PLANT side both saw their support plummet in the latest election, so much so that Copeland and Durandal succeeded in taking office.
However, unlike Copeland, who was a simple puppet president, Durandal’s rise to power was the result of his painstaking efforts, and he also appeased the rebellion in the armory even when his foothold was not stable. This alone is different from Copeland’s. The waste opened up a gap of several hundred light years.
Jachin Due Fortress, as the decisive battle fortress planned by former Speaker Sara, has multiple ‘black boxes’ for storing backups. And since the location of the fortress is within the territory of PLANT, the waste dealers have submitted applications many times hoping that they can recycle the area. However, the acting Speaker of Kanaba was busy with treaty negotiations at the time and had no time to take care of this area. This was a ‘small matter’, so the cleanup of the entire fortress ruins was delayed until Durandal took over.
Through the Armory Rebellion, Durandal successfully came into contact with the die-hard members of the original Sara faction. While wearing the speaker’s mask, he pardoned a large number of the other party’s crimes, but he also sent these veterans the task of searching the Jachin Due Fortress through some third-party agencies, trying to use a series of ‘taming’ methods to bring these veterans Control the instability factors in your own hands.
“However, Aslan’s emotions are also important to consider.”
After a while, Durandal made a decision. Since Aslan still stayed in PLANT after the war, discrediting Patrick was a choice that would do more harm than good to Durandal. The first thing he did after taking office was After promoting Aslan to the position of LFWY, there is really no need to make Aslan feel grudge.
“Huh? Someone modified the program to change the firing axis before self-destruction?”
As the remaining data was further displayed, a piece of news that shocked Durandal appeared on the screen. The Genesis had artificially adjusted its firing axis at the last moment before self-destruction.
When Nain was moving the reflecting mirror, everyone except the members of the Eternal and Kusanagi thought it was Patrick’s last struggle, and Lacus also used an extremely tough attitude to disperse the nearby local fleet.
As far as the person involved is concerned, Aslan fell into a coma after being shot. Kira then looked at it and left the control room in a hurry because of Aslan’s injury and Cagalli’s behavior of chasing people away. The only person with complete knowledge was Xi Erd, Siegfried and Cagalli.
But the data before Di Landal clearly showed that the change in the shooting angle of the Genesis was a secondary operation after Patrick locked the program and was forcibly cracked. So whoever insisted on launching the Genesis at that point in time became Di Landal. Randall desperately needs to solve the mystery.
“Adjusted target. Mendel. Mendel! Dr. Hibiki’s research institute? What is there?”
It’s been too long, so I’ll give you a rundown. Covenant’s final battle with freedom and justice was sealed by Lux. After Nein and Siegfried entered Genesis, the Klein faction had gained the right to speak and persuaded the nearby fleets to leave. After the war, the battle data of the Justice Gundam was artificially leaked. Several major political powers knew that Siegfried wanted to seize Genesis in the end, but that was it. Most people did not know who set the specific target of the third shot. It is even less possible to know why the target was changed to Mendel. The records in Durandal’s hand clearly show that someone manually changed the Genesis program in the fortress. Such an understanding.
Just tell me quietly, I want to be lazy for a day tomorrow…
