After the defeat at the Battle of Rum, the badly wounded Union army was unable to fight any more and retreated to the Luna second-class stronghold, while the Gion army took advantage of the victory to pursue and force the Union army to sign an unequal truce, and the federal army high command was under pressure to agree to sign the treaty, and just as the treaty was being discussed, General Rebil, who had miraculously survived from the Gion Army, quickly returned to the Federation headquarters and delivered a speech of "Gion with no available soldiers", which finally prompted the Union army to decide to resist to the end.
Antarctic Treaty
Soldiers on both sides
In order to impose some restraint on the war, because excessive damage would not be appropriate for both sides, the two sides agreed and signed the "Antarctic Treaty", which read as follows:
1. The use of NBC weapons and high-mass weapons (such as colonial bombs, etc.) is prohibited, and the use of other weapons is restricted
2. Attacks on neutral areas, permanent cities on the lunar surface, and jupiter orders are prohibited
3. Recognition of human rights factors such as the treatment of prisoners of war
The conclusion of the treaty shattered Gion's vision of a rapid settlement of the war with high-mass weapons, and the war began to enter a phase of stalemate.
Invasion operations
Descend to fight
In order to obtain various resources for military supplies, Gion began to suppress various Federal strongholds located on Earth, which Gion internally called "Earth Invasion Operations".
On February 7, a large number of Masay-class cruisers with H.L.V( I think this should be, not HRLS) came into orbit above the Earth's satellites and began to launch, while the accompanying space battleships began to scatter Minovsky particles in large quantities, making it impossible for the Federation forces on Earth to know where the Gion forces had descended.
In mid-February, important strongholds such as the Baikal base and the California base and their surrounding areas were successfully occupied, and the Federal Army fell into passivity.
Medium-term obstacles
It was converted into a military factory for the MS factory
With the success of the downsizing operation, the Union Army suffered a major blow, most of the strongholds, especially the California base, as the second base after the Jabro base, the Federation's land, sea and air military production capacity was seriously damaged, and Gion took over these positions and transformed the arsenal into an MS production plant, and the resources obtained also greatly increased its productivity, and the pace of Gion's reform was greatly advanced.
From February to March, in just one month, Gion occupied more than 60% of the world, but at the same time suffered from the stubborn resistance of the Federation Army, on the other hand, because of the gradual lengthening of the front line, the supply problem became a major problem for Gion, and because of the lack of veteran pilots, the pace of the attack was repeatedly stopped; on the other hand, the Federation could only rely on the existing troops to resist while looking for a way out, and the war situation once entered a state of stalemate.
At this point, the one-year war entered a stalemate phase, after which the two sides entered a state of combat strength, until April, the Federation began to "∨ operations", and the war situation began to change subtly...
