Chapter 311

Orb, after dismantling the Seiran faction, Cagalli regained control of Orb and started a series of internal political rectifications.

This increasingly mature girl was becoming more and more like a national leader, but Cagalli was Cagalli; in the post-war liquidation, this girl still left a way out for the Seiran father and son and didn't kill them all.

The Seiran father and son, who were convicted of treason, were only sentenced to a relatively light 20-year fixed-term imprisonment, and a portion of the improper interests obtained by the Seiran family after coming to power was confiscated, leaving enough capital for the remaining relatives of the Seiran family to live.

Of course, the most important thing was that Cagalli finally dissolved her marriage contract with Yuna and got rid of the shackles of the Seiran family.

Orb Naval Port, the expeditionary fleet that returned to the Orb mainland with Cagalli was still repairing, and she herself still needed to stay on the mainland to bicker about the contract signed by the Seiran family with the Alliance government some time ago. The general meaning was that they didn't deny everything, but at least they would accommodate some.

And the allied fleet headed by the Archangel set sail all the way west to the Victoria Spaceport; there was still a Requiem system on the moon that needed to be solved. After all, that thing was built under the auspices of Logos, and the garrison troops were basically officers who leaned toward Blue Cosmos ideology.

Continuing to let that kind of long-range strategic weapon that could shoot at any location in the Earth sphere from the moon remain in the hands of the Logos remnants was somewhat guilty. However, judging from the fact that no madman took the initiative to use the Requiem for ground shooting during the crusade against Logos, it showed that there was still a possibility of controlling the Requiem through peaceful means.

Government officials headed by the moderate faction were also dispatching special envoys to make contact.

But no matter what, Li Boyong had to hurry to space to make preparations.

In case there was a problem with the negotiations, he would need to destroy the first relay point of the Requiem at the first time; the garrison troops there were relatively weak compared to the Daedalus Base. Then, before the second relay point filled the position, he would launch a flash strike on the Daedalus Base.

As for Shihe, through the intelligence system of the Three Ships Alliance, Li Boyong learned about Shihe's hospitalization and recuperation; in that case, let Shihe recuperate first, and maybe after the last contact, Shihe's memory was gradually recovering.

As for Athrun, Cagalli dissolving the marriage contract was a signal he released; I believe that even if Athrun didn't want to defect from ZAFT, he would assist him in the matter of Shihe.

Fifteen days later, the space area around the Yueqiu Daedalus Base.

Because the original motherships were mostly sea warships, Li Boyong left most of the troops on the ground and only led a small number of elite troops to board the Archangel to space; as for that captured Destroy Gundam, it was a pity that it was not suitable for going to the sky through the mass driver of the Victoria Spaceport.

Currently, negotiations were still underway, and the Archangel was receiving material supplies from the Alliance Space Force, mainly waiting for the good stuff—the Meteor Breaker.

If he wanted to destroy the first relay point, relying solely on the Archangel's positron cannon wouldn't work; direct shelling could only open a small hole in the relay point. To be safe, he still had to install four Meteor Breakers to blow the first relay point into two sections.

Archangel hangar, Li Boyong looked at the Meteor Breakers being transported in one by one and smacked his lips: "It's a pity; if that Destroy Gundam could be transported up, it would be much simpler than using Meteor Breakers."

To be honest, if the Archangel really had to destroy the first relay point alone, it would really be somewhat tight in combat power.

After all, there were only a few machines on the Archangel now: the three captured from ZAFT—Chaos, Abyss, Gaia; the five successors of the G Project from the Actaeon Project; plus Li Boyong's Full Armor Raider and the four Daggers responsible for operating the Meteor Breakers.

But letting other space forces do it was not very suitable.

After all, to flash strike the first relay point, in order not to alert the enemy, a small number of elite troops were needed, and a high-speed ship with quite fast speed was also needed; the Archangel was suitable.

After storing the Meteor Breakers, Li Boyong stayed in the hangar to assist in maintaining the machines. At this time, Wang Liumei's communication connected to the Full Armor Raider's cockpit: "Bad news, the negotiations are not going very smoothly; the other side seems to demand the pardon of all officers who have connections with Logos, and only by treating you and me as traitors will they be willing to follow the government's command."

"This is too whimsical; although those moderate factions who fear my prestige also hope that I will have some accidents in private, publicly trying me is equivalent to summoning the soul for Logos; the moderate faction is not that stupid." Li Boyong felt that the taste was wrong: "I thought the base commander of the Daedalus Base was a smart person who knew how to judge the situation, but I didn't expect him to be a self-righteous idiot."

"It could also be that the moderate faction deliberately let the negotiations collapse; they don't want to pay too much price and hope to use your hand to clean up the remnants." Wang Liumei proposed a hypothesis.

Hearing this, Li Boyong shrugged: "No way, even if it's really what you guessed, we still have to take action to solve this thing—the Requiem."

After a pause, he continued: "But if it's really what you guessed, then the moderate faction might also be calculating to find an opportunity to take action against you; you must be very careful during this period."

"Don't worry, I know this, so I never leave this warship..." Wang Liumei smiled: "After all, this place is basically all original Phantom Pain soldiers loyal to you; it's hard for the moderate faction to intervene."

Even if this was a warship that was often on the front line of the battlefield, as long as Li Boyong was there, it was the safest place for Wang Liumei.

This common sense had been engraved in her heart since she, Wang Liumei, was rescued by Li Boyong.

"Just know it." Li Boyong said: "Hide well in the room; the Archangel is about to set sail."

"Then, I wish you prosperity in your military career." Wang Liumei smiled coquettishly, blew a kiss, and then closed the communication.

And Li Boyong immediately contacted Natarle on the bridge and issued the order for the Archangel to set sail for combat.

Very quickly, three hours later, the Archangel approached the space area around the first relay point at high speed. The Logos remnants responsible for the defense also discovered the Archangel and started to set up a defensive line in the direction the Archangel was coming from.

"One enemy Agamemnon-class, one Nelson-class, two Drake-class are releasing MS to set up a defensive line." The Archangel's scout reported: "Enemy MS team deployed, 24 Daggers, 3 Euclids."

"Archangel, combat preparation, MS team sortie." Natarle on the captain's seat started to issue orders: "After the MS team sorties, this ship will use the positron cannon to shell the first relay point's engine. Afterward, use the Full Armor Raider, Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia as the vanguard to launch an attack, with the Actaeon series as support, covering the Dagger team carrying the Meteor Breakers."
