Chapter 52: Monica's Choice
At this time, it was too late to inform Fengyu to turn back and mend the knife, and the "Tropical High Pressure" was remote and could not carry out optical communication. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a brief panic, the two commanders of the 9th Fleet had readjusted their tactics, recalling the mobile squadron that was disrupted by the wind in front to return to defense, and sending the second mobile squadron that came out later to protect the caravan.
And the ace pilot of the 9th Fleet, who had missed the previous battle, had finally returned to the main channel, and was now flying at full speed towards the wind. Even if Feng Yu realized that he had missed and failed to destroy the engine, he was too busy to take care of himself at this time, and he didn't have the strength to fly back to make up for it.
Luo Yunxi told the other crew members on the ship about this situation, and in this case, they could only work together. According to her thoughts, things have come to this point, and the best option is to admit that the mission has failed, and immediately withdraw from the battlefield to avoid falling into the quagmire. The problem was that the Tropical High was blocked in the main channel by the 9th Fleet, and the wind had already flown to the inner side of the Kuiper Belt, and even if it was to converge, it would be very difficult.
After listening to the beautiful captain's briefing, the other crew members were mostly technical soldiers, and they were not very good at operational command, and they couldn't put forward any effective suggestions.
On the contrary, Monica, who is a newcomer, has more ideas as an intelligence officer, "According to the current situation, Fengyu is the target of the other party's key target, and it is unlikely that he will come over to join us, only we will take the initiative to find him." ”
"Yes, it does." Luo Yunxi is not very worried about this. Under her pilot, the "Tropical High Pressure" can be optically invisible all the time, and then drill into the meteorite belt next to the main channel, and the 9th Fleet has nothing to do with her. A little detour will make you able to get closer to Fengyu in a roundabout way.
"In this case, our mission cannot be completely regarded as a failure, and there is still room for maneuver." Monica's eyes gleamed dangerously, and it was clear that some crazy thought had crossed her mind.
Luo Yunxi has been with her for a while, and knows that this girl will always have some wild and bold ideas, most of which make people love and hate, and what she is going to say next in her heart is both expectant and afraid.
Monica's next words were as bold and crazy as expected, "Fengyu thought the engine had been destroyed, so he didn't continue to attack the transport. So can we think that if the 9th Fleet also has such a delusion, will it not care about the sunken transport ship for the time being? ”
"That's right. But if I were their commander, I would have sent someone to investigate. That's the third generation of the Leap Engine! Without seeing the wreckage with their own eyes, no one dared to make a presumptuous assertion. Luo Yunxi felt that the other party had taken it for granted.
Monica blinked, "I can let them see the wreckage!" ”
Hearing this, with Luo Yunxi's intelligence, how could she not understand her plan, "Are you crazy!" It's too dangerous to leave you alone on that sunken transport, and you'll be dead if you are discovered! ”
"Not necessarily, I think it's safest up there! With my 'illusion' abilities, I can leave at any time even if they drag the wreckage of the transport ship back to the airport. On the contrary, the Tropical High is going to take a bigger risk, and you have to send me to the transport ship. Monica's eyes were full of confidence.
Indeed, as she said, if the 9th Fleet mistakenly thought that the engines had been destroyed and allowed the transport ship to become space junk, then she would be safe. On the other hand, if she doesn't give up and has to pull the wreckage back to the airport to be examined, she can completely rely on her awakening ability to wait for the opportunity to slip away, and even bring a bomb to completely end the engine.
And compared to the risk Monica takes, the benefits are very much to look forward to. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get the third generation of the Jump Engine in Haiti and achieve the top goal of the trip. The worst-case scenario would destroy the engine and keep it from falling into NO's hands.
For Monica's plan, the crew of the "Tropical High Pressure" were all excited. They are all from military backgrounds, and they have followed Fengyu to be born and die many times, which time is not to gamble with their lives. As a new crew member, Monica is a very likable girl, but as long as she has not experienced life and death, it is difficult for them to see her as a partner who can be entrusted with her back.
In the eyes of everyone, Monica's proposed plan is indeed feasible, and with the protection of the magical "illusion" ability, self-protection is not a problem. The only potential risk is that the 9th Fleet could take extreme measures to completely destroy the transport ship and prevent the wreckage of the engine from falling into the wrong hands, if it is "confirmed" that the engine has been damaged.
However, this is not very likely. This is the territory of the 9th Fleet, and they don't need to rush it, they can wait until the battle in this airspace is over to slowly pick up the pieces and see if there is anything worth retrieving.
In contrast, the "Tropical High Pressure" does not have so much time, so it can only send Monica to the wreck of the transport ship first, and use her "illusion" to create an illusion for the other party, and buy the time and time for its own operation.
After a brief discussion, in addition to Luo Yunxi, who did not express his position, another crew member who loved Monica expressed his opposition, and everyone else agreed to this plan.
As a result, the "Tropical Pressure", which was in an optically invisible state, re-entered the meteorite belt and used the protection of the meteorite to block the shelling of the 9th Fleet.
After the E4 campaign, not only the aqua-blue Mobile Suit WS became famous, but even the "Tropical High Pressure" was well known to various countries. Although Awa-Ker has already modified the appearance of this high-speed ship to a certain extent during this mission, as long as the "Storm" appears on the battlefield, then there is no doubt that the "Tropical High Pressure" must be in a state of optical stealth nearby.
When the Tropical High returned to its main channel, the 9th Fleet had locked its energy sensors onto the high-speed hull, firing a few shots at the general area at every opportunity, and indeed hitting its R-particle shield a few times.
If it weren't for Fengyu being there to attract most of their attention, leaving the two formation commanders flawless to take care of the "Tropical Pressure", the main gun covering fire of the 20 battleships would have been enough to completely cover the shadow area created by the R-particles. Even if the hit rate is still not high, at most two or three rounds will sink this ace pilot ship.
At this time, Fengyu is far away from the 9th Fleet battleship cluster, and the pressure on the other party is minimal, if the "Tropical High Pressure" does not enter the meteorite belt again, I am afraid that it will not be so lucky.
So no matter whether Monica makes such a decision or not, Luo Yunxi will let the "Tropical High Pressure" enter the meteorite belt, approach the exit of the main channel in a roundabout way, and be ready to evacuate at any time. And now all she had to do was make a slight detour and put Monica on the NO transport ship with the third-generation jump engine.
"Monica, get ready, we'll be there right away!"
