At this moment on the TV screen, a thin middle-aged man in a suit stood in the center of the podium, and behind him was a sea of ​​black mechas. And he just stood there, with his hands raised high.

"We hereby declare that we will revive the legitimate independent nation of Japan! I will save all our oppressed and suffering compatriots from the hands of the Britannian Empire! This land belongs to us in the past, present and future, my compatriots! Join me in driving the hateful invaders out of this land!"

I was tricked!

Looking at the ugly face on the screen, Cornelia clenched her fists.

"What does the Chinese Federation say?"

"General Cao of the Chinese Federation said that this is just simple humanitarian support."

"snort!"

Hearing Clovis' answer, Cornelia snorted.

"They really don't take us seriously, but this is fine... Let them see how powerful our Britannian Empire is! Order all garrison troops in Area 11 to attack immediately, and..."

Cornelia seemed to have thought of something when she said this.

"... Let the Chinese Federation see that we are no longer the empire we once were!"

The war is spreading.

The flames of war that started in Fukuoka are now spreading to the entire Kyushu.

"Your Highness, everything has gone very smoothly so far."

"Um."

Glancing at Ze Qidun beside him, Fang Zheng nodded, then he turned his head and looked at the heavy rain and dark clouds outside the window.

"The weather is very nice today."

"Yes, even God is on our side."

Having said that, Ze Qidun showed a proud smile.

"We will definitely win this war!"

"Report!"

Just then, a report came from the front.

"Radar detected an unidentified flying warship!"

"Brittania's warship?"

Hearing the report, General Cao, who was standing next to Fang Zheng, sneered.

"These people have finally learned how to fly. Send out missiles to destroy them!"

"yes!"

Soon, as the order was issued, everyone saw dozens of red arrows representing missiles flying towards the enemy warships and then successfully hitting the target. However...

"The target is intact and has not been destroyed! This is... an object similar to a bomber was ejected from it, but the speed is much faster than that of a bomber!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Ze Qidun was surprised, and then he hurriedly gave orders.

"Connect the video immediately!"

"yes!"

As the target was locked, the screen opened in the next moment, and then a white mecha flying in the air appeared in everyone's eyes. Seeing this scene, General Cao's face sank slightly.

"You actually made a flying mecha out of Sakura Stone?"

Having said this, General Cao quickly looked towards Fang Zheng.

"Your Highness!"

"I know."

Looking at the white mecha on the screen, Fang Zheng seemed very calm. The Chinese Federation and the EU had always looked down on Britannia because their drive devices powered by Sakura Stone were not powerful enough, which was why Britannia could not manufacture flying mechas and space mechas. But now it seemed that Britannia had finally overcome this obstacle. The white mecha that appeared in front of him was the best proof.

Faced with the speeding white mechas, everyone had basically no way to deal with them, because the weapons and equipment of this "occupying army" were all sponsored by the Chinese Federation in the form of "humanitarian support". Because the VF series had basically been manufactured and were ready to start mass production, the replaced mechas were taken by the Chinese Federation for "waste utilization" and given to Ze Qidun. These mechas only had basic ground combat capabilities, and had no ability in air and space combat.

In addition, the current weather conditions made it impossible for fighter planes to take off and land, and a simple armed helicopter was basically useless in front of the nightmare mecha. So the white mecha was seen advancing all the way, and it didn't take long for it to reach the front of the Fukuoka base.

"It seems that Britannia's newest mecha is quite capable."

Although the enemy landed after entering the Fukuoka base due to concerns about anti-aircraft firepower, it still rushed straight to the base. During this period, some MS tried to come up to stop it, but they were all killed instantly by the white mecha.

"Surround it! Consume its energy!"

At this moment, General Cao also began to give orders loudly.

"Don't let it get into the headquarters! The energy of the Sakura Stone is limited. Once its energy is used up, it will become a piece of scrap metal!"

However, upon hearing General Cao's order, Fang Zheng shook his head slightly.

"That's true, but it would be too embarrassing for a mecha to directly invade the base."

After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around.

"I'll take care of it."

At this moment inside the base, the battle is still going on.

"Uh...are you trying to get my attention?"

Sitting in the cockpit of the white mecha, Kururugi Suzaku tightly gripped the joystick and stared at the surroundings. His mission was to capture Ze Qi Dun alive or kill him. Once Ze Qi Dun died, the army would be leaderless, and the Chinese Federation would have no reason to intervene!

But soon, Suzaku discovered that something was wrong.

The attacks stopped? What happened?

Although he didn't know why the mobile suits that had been following him all dispersed, Suzaku quickly seized the opportunity and quickly drove the white mecha towards the gate of the base. However, just as Suzaku arrived at the gate of the base and was about to invade, he suddenly saw a puzzling scene.

In front of the closed door, there was a man wearing a helmet, silver armor and a bright red cloak, holding two swords, one long and one short, one black and one white. He was standing there, staring at him coldly without saying a word.

What's going on? Is this person planning to fight this Lancelot with his flesh and blood? !

Thinking of this, Kururugi Suzaku couldn't help but frown.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"You are Suzaku Kururugi? The former Prime Minister's son?"

"……Who are you?"

Hearing this voice, Kururugi Suzaku was stunned for a moment and asked.

"It's none of your business who I am. I'm just a little curious. As the son of the former Prime Minister of Japan, why would you serve Britannia, the country that invaded your country?"

"because……"

Hearing this question, Kururugi Suzaku tightened his grip on the joystick.

"Because I don't want war anymore! I don't want more people to die! A meaningless war will only cause more people to die!"

"So you killed your own father and issued the order to surrender?"

"Varied……!"

Hearing these words, Suzaku suddenly felt as if a sharp knife had been stabbed into his heart, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.

"I have investigated you, Suzaku Kururugi, an interesting man... So, did you kill your father who decided to resist to the end because you didn't want to see the sacrifice of the people, and then chose to surrender? Was it because of life? Is it because life is more important than the country and the nation? Are you willing to sacrifice the entire country to protect your people?"

"I have no other choice!"

Hearing this, Kururugi Suzaku suddenly roared in anger.

"I don't want any more sacrifices. If the war continues... more innocent civilians will die!"

"Really? Well... looking at their lives now, do you still think this is the right thing to do?"

"……Why?"

"Unlike people like you who sell out their country for personal gain, ordinary civilians are now living in concentration camps, being beaten, insulted, and even killed by the occupiers. They have lost their dignity, honor, and everything. They just live like slaves and die like slaves. Is this what you expect? Is this the peace you want?"

"No, I just want to use the right means to change..."

"Country, country. Without a country, there is no home. If you lose your country, then the people living on this land will have no home."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his sword.

"In the final analysis, you are nothing more than a butcher who sells out his country for personal gain in the name of peace."

“Wa ...

Hearing this, Kururugi Suzaku finally couldn't help but roared. Along with his roar, the white mecha suddenly exploded and rushed towards Fang Zheng.

“I’m not wrong, I’m not wrong, I’m not—!!”

However, before Zhuque finished speaking, Fang Zheng raised his sword and swung it forward. At this moment, out of some instinct, Zhuque subconsciously controlled the mecha to dodge to the side. However, even so, he still could not avoid Fang Zheng's attack. The invisible sword energy flew past and cut off the left hand and shoulder of the white mecha as easily as cutting tofu. Then, the white mecha burst into dazzling flames.

"What? How is this possible?"

Staring at the flashing alarm on the screen in amazement, Suzaku was shocked.

Can a person defeat a mecha by his own strength?

However, that was where his thoughts ended.

Fang Zheng slashed down with his sword, then retracted it, then gripped the dark sword tightly and thrust it forward. As he moved, the wind pressure began to flow and condense at this moment, turning into a roaring storm that hit the chest of the white mecha fiercely. In just a moment, accompanied by whistling and roaring sounds, the white mecha was swallowed by the storm, swept away and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Feeling intense pain from his abdomen, Zhuque opened his eyes and was horrified to find that the front of the mecha had been completely smashed in, and the scattered sharp iron spikes had cut into his abdomen, tearing his body apart. His internal organs and intestines slowly flowed out along with the blood.

“Oooooh…ah…!”

The unspeakable pain immediately made Suzaku scream, and then he heard footsteps, and then the armored knight appeared in front of him again.

"Seppuku? This is really a perfect last moment for you. Then, I will reluctantly serve as your kaishakunin."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his hand.

The sharp blade cut through Suzaku's skin, throat, and cervical vertebrae, and with blood spurting out, the young man's head, with eyes wide open, rolled off the shattered mecha and scattered in the dust.

"It's just like this after all."

Looking at the headless, twitching corpse, Fang Zheng snorted softly, then put away his sword and turned away.

"All troops attack... target, Tokyo Concession!"
