023.L5 Purging Operations(1)
The purge of L5 was so smooth that it wasn't even a battle, it could only be called an armed parade.
Unlike Kilian, who is already planning a war for the future, the high-level governments of SIDE1 and SIDE4, the two colonies that have been bewitched by the rhetoric of the Earth Federation, have not yet figured out the situation, in their opinion, Zeon is unlikely to attack them, even if they choose to join the camp of the Earth Federation, now Zeon should be struggling to support under the pressure of the Federation's main fleet, how can such Zeon have the strength to pay attention to his soy sauce regime that is participating in the war in name?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zeon really comes to attack, SIDE1 and SIDE4 are not without the power to fight back, let others bully, the number of fleets of the two colonial governments combined, is about forty percent of Zeon's fleet, they don't think Zeon will risk losing a large number of warships before the decisive battle with the Federation to invade L5.
This wave is stable, how can the main fleet of the Federation lose in the face?
Just as the two colonial governments had begun to plan how to divide the assets of SIDE3, the bad news came, and the main fleet of the Space Attack Force that had returned to Fortress Solomon did not even make a basic rest, but pounced directly on them.
In a hurry, SIDE1 and SIDE4 formed a combined fleet to try to hold off the Zeon fleet, at least until the Federation's rescue arrived.
But how could the sudden cooperation of two fleets that were not subordinate to each other have a good result? Not to mention, the garrison army itself has been abolished, maintaining such a force is a thankless task for each SIDE who has no ambition to overthrow the Earth Federation, for decades, the equipment of these garrison troops has not been updated, and even basic maintenance is very lacking, and the soldiers do not regard their identity as glory, but an ordinary job, without fighting spirit at all, even the officers are also the waste that has been assigned to eat and die.
After only 40 minutes of fighting, the battle was over, and compared to the 4th Mobile Fleet, which was fought hard, these garrisons did not qualify as armies at all, and the smooth operation of the battle made Lear feel unreal, just after the salvo charge, this large combined fleet had been completely defeated.
"That's the end of it?" Perhaps it was the previous battle with the Fourth Fleet that made Lear overestimate the overall combat effectiveness of the Federation Army, and his heart was filled with a sense of loss.
In front of him was the flagship of the SIDE1 garrison fleet, the early Magellan-class battleship "Veneto", which was part of the first batch of the armament enhancement program in the 70s, along with the Richelieu.
However, compared to the Richelieu, which fought to the last moment with a heroic self-explosion, the Veneto only approached the battleship, and before he could fire, he voluntarily chose to surrender.
Looking at the appearance of the Veneto and the Richelieu, Lear couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Although he did a good job of image engineering, so that many people regarded him as a model for soldiers, he himself knew that he was not a pure soldier, but despite this, he still felt a burst of displeasure at this moment.
Loser.
Not only the Veneto, but most of the garrison warships that have not yet been sunk have also raised white flags.
Having said that, Lear dutifully conveyed the order to the Veneto to order the remaining fleet to surrender.
At this point, this not small scale battle was over.
The battle was commanded by Admiral Dozru himself, who divided the MS forces into two groups, one against the SIDE1 and SIDE4 fleets, with Lear's forces and Major Sima Karahau's naval forces meeting the SIDE1 Garrison Fleet.
Lear then signaled the end of the battle to an old MS-05 Zaku, the landing plane of Major Sima Karahau, led by the Marines.
After containing the surrendered Federation warships and the returning MS troops, the Zeon fleet first headed in the direction of SIDE4.
Lear landed on the Leipzig with the Thunderlight, and if you count the Veneto, who surrendered without a fight, his record in this sortie also accounts for a quarter of the entire Einsatzgruppen fleet, so far, the number of ships he has fallen has reached four, which is worthy of his status.
However, considering Lei Guang's excessively excellent performance, his battle results are probably relatively large.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to forget not to care too much about the person he had just killed, he climbed out of the cockpit, and the technicians of the Gionnik Field Technical Test Unit immediately greeted him, although this unit was established to collect data on new weapons, but it seems that until now, most of the reports they have submitted are about Lei Guang's technical test reports, thanks to Lear's dazzling results, Lei Guang seems to have received quite a good evaluation in the Technology Development Bureau, It seems that the Technology Development Bureau also has a proposal to develop a mass-produced version of Thunderlight after controlling costs, and also gave Thunderlight a number MS-06T on behalf of the Technology Development Bureau.
This means that regardless of whether the Thunderlight mass production model can appear or not, at least this kryptonite body with the name of the trial machine has been recorded in the development history of MS.
However, this did not work, and the Technology Development Bureau had countless development proposals, but as long as Zeon could not solve the mass production problem of Luna titanium alloy for a day, Thunderlight would always be Lear's landline.
Decades later, when these development archives are declassified, there will still be such an album 'shocked! The true strongest mech during the One Year War, the dark history of the Zeon MS "The legendary Iron Giant, the best design was brutally banned, what is the secret behind it".
Something like that.
Lear opened his mind to relieve stress, which he had discovered, a new way to protect his spirit, and the unexpected effect was good.
Probably he was the kind of person with a big brain.
Compared with the last time,This sortie,Lei Guang didn't suffer any damage at all,In addition to the opponent's failure,I'm afraid Lear's skills have indeed increased,After all, no matter how much you train the simulation,After all, it's not as good as a real battle.,If he crosses with a strange system that can measure combat effectiveness with numbers,The index of technology can probably reach more than 80?
What a mess.
He shook his head and moved in the direction of the bridge, and although his presence did not seem to be high, the actual commander of the unit was still Captain Noles, and he had to report to his superiors at the end of his mission.
At that moment, he suddenly overheard the conversation of several of the registrars, who did not seem to notice Lear's arrival, but were discussing something there excitedly and enthusiastically.
What's going on? Lear frowned, he didn't plan to be too strict with his subordinates, but he was very disrespectful when he spoke during work, he didn't understand, compared with the previous difficult victory, this easy victory, so that the officers and soldiers finally had a more objective understanding of their own abilities, and their self-confidence also swelled rapidly, and it was not uncommon for them to be a little indulgent.
But that's not an excuse to chat during work.
Lear was about to speak, but heard what they were arguing about: "Idiot, obviously 'yellow flash' is better, right?" β
"You take a nickname based on color alone, that's why you don't have any imagination at all!"
"What? If you have the ability, take one and listen to it! β
"I'll see what good nicknames you can come up with."
"Hmph, that's good, listen to me, the most appropriate nickname is, of course, 'Valkyrie of the Battlefield'!"
"It's too long!!"
"Nicknames are meant to be simple and easy to understand!"
"No, it's not that you have to be able to reflect the characteristics, what kind of cyan superstar, black triple star, you won't take a nickname if you leave the color?"
"Don't you think Valkyries can embody the characteristics of an ensign more than any yellow flashes!"
"The second lieutenant is a man, rightγγγγγ Although some γγγγγγ But it's really a man, yes. β
"That's not what you mean, you look at the ensign's family crest, isn't it the Valkyrie with a gun?"
"Or just compromise, how about a glittering Valkyrie?"
What are these people talking about, Lear is a little dazed, but it feels like it has something to do with him, so he can't help but say, "What are you talking about when you don't work?" β
"Wow!!"
"Lieutenant, second lieutenant!"
"Ensign Alkestein!" As if taken aback by Lear's sudden speech, several rearmament soldiers were in a hurry, embarrassed and hurried, standing up and saluting: "Salute to, to you!" β
"Why do you want to be so respectful γγγγγγ?" Lear said inexplicably, "What are you doing, why are you so nervous to see me." β
"Tell me, what are you talking about if you don't work well?"
"This, this γγγγγγγ" Several of the guards squeezed their eyebrows at each other, and then squeezed each other's elbows, and finally one of them came out.
"Yes, yes, we were just talking about your nickname, Second Lieutenant!"
What the? For a moment, Lear thought he had misheard, what did these guys just say?
Nickname?
"Yes," the retrencher suddenly spoke eloquently: "Congratulations on your fourth victory, as the representative trump card of this unit, we agree that you need a loud nickname!" β
βγγγγγγγγβ Lear was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"You see, His Excellency General Dozru's direct MS unit has that cyan superstar, Captain Ramba Lal, and His Excellency General Jisilia's subordinates also have the famous Black Triple Star, and your record is in no way inferior to them, so we think you need a loud nickname!"
"Yes, in this way, when we communicate with other troops, there is also light on our faces, and with the existence of you as a hero, other troops will look up to us!"
Heroesγγγγγγγ Lear couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but looking at the admiring and respectful eyes of his subordinates, he didn't want to brush off their kindness, so he reluctantly pulled a smile and said, "This, that's itγγγγγγγ Anyway, let me hear what nicknames you guys gave me. β
"Yes, I propose, you can be called 'Yellow Flash'!"
Special machines and aces usually have special liveries, and linking these liveries with the ace pilot himself is a tradition that has existed since the Red Baron in World War I, and most of Zeon's aces also use this logic to take nicknames, such as cyan superstar, black triple star, etc., and give themselves nicknames called yellow flash, mostly because of the erroneous yellow paint, and the excellent high mobility of Thunderlight.
It's not a particularly strange nickname, but Lear instinctively doesn't want to accept it, although he can't figure out the reason, but he always feels that this is a nickname full of Flag, if he has this nickname, he will fall into the situation where his wife has a difficult birth, the child is separated forever, it is difficult to see each other, and finally he dies very aggrieved.
No, no, noγγγγγγγ The idea is so non-materialistic, anyway, keep listening, maybe there's a better nicknameγγγγγγ
Probably.
"Yellow flashes? Sound....... Well, that's not bad, right? Lear smiled awkwardly, "But I think I heard you say another nickname?" β
"Yes!!" A female rearguard, who looked younger than Lear, suddenly became excited, shouted, "Listen to me, Your Excellency! β
"The yellow flash sounds too earthy, doesn't that make it seem like you're on the same level as the cyan giant star and the black trifecta?"
It's really a level, Lamba Lal doesn't know very well if he hasn't fought against him, but he can get the absolute trust of Dozru, he is definitely not a mortal, and the black triple star, although it is because of his carelessness, still beat himself up, and he is not an object to be despised , Lear couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"So I suggest that you be nicknamed 'Valkyrie of the Battlefield'!" There was a glint in her eyes that made Lear shudder.
Perhaps it was the confusion in Lear's eyes that made the repositor mistakenly think that he didn't know what a Valkyrie was, so she went to great lengths to explain: "The Valkyrie is a symbol of war in Norse mythology, and she selects heroic warriors for the gods and lures them into Valhalla. β
No, no, no, of course I know this, Lear is also a well-read man, and he also dabbles in this kind of miscellaneous science, and he also knows that Valkyries are all virgins, and legend has it that they are the embodiment of the hero's dream lover, offering the kiss of death to the hero who died in battle.
"Your coat of arms is none other than the king of the Valkyries, the spear-wielding Brunhilde, the eldest daughter of Odin, the greatest hero, and the patron saint of warriors like you, second lieutenant!"
That's reallyγγγγγγ Excessive goosebump-inducing praise, Lear's wry smile almost appeared on his face.
"Of course, I don't think the title is particularly appropriate for your fighting style, so what about 'Shining Valkyrie' or 'Shining Brunhilde'?"
The garrison was talking, gushing endlessly, knowing that she had only reacted when she was reminded by her colleague with her elbow, but she looked at Lear with this earnest gaze, and almost opened her mouth to shout, 'Choose me!' Pick me! 'That's it.
"This γγγγγ Ah, it's, really, well, a creative nickname," Lear forcibly changed his face to make his smile look more natural, he quickly thought about the wording, how not to trample on the other party's kindness, and to make her retreat: "Although I like this nickname, you see, I haven't surpassed the other aces with nicknames too much, if I use too exaggerated nicknames, I'm afraid it will seem that I am not rigorous enough, so although it is a pity, let me refuse this nickname." β
"Yesγγγγγγγ" The soldier's mood was visibly depressed, and she said, "But, but, the other aces can't compare to you at all, their image is too bad. β
I see, this makes Lear a little helpless, and Lamba and the black triple star of the five big and three rough rough men, he looks very much like his mother, and old Hans only has some similar characteristics, he has a good skin, but because some of them are too much like his mother, so that if it is not deliberate, it is difficult to reflect the masculinity of men, and in the past he has some unpleasant memories, such as being treated as a little girl or something with Maggie, if someone praises his good looks, he is not only difficult to be frankly happy, There will even be some displeasure.
However, looking at this fan girl-like maintenance soldier, he didn't want to hurt the other party's heart, so he could only say with a wry smile: "I am also a soldier, if it is not because of military merits, but because of the recognition of others because of my appearance, it is a failure." β
"I'm glad you have it, but γγγγγγγ Well, let's use the yellow flash, this one is not so conspicuous, and it is also catchy, I like it. β
After saying that, after a few brief words with the soldiers, he turned around and continued to walk towards the bridge.
Surprisingly, he felt a lot better, as if he had let go of some burden, probably because he was distracted by chatting with people, which was similar to his mind-opening and random delusions.
I hope he can enjoy this good mood for a while.
Because soon, he will face greater sins.
