Chapter 19: The Change of Zeon (2)
Although Laxis was smiling about these things, Selena knew the impact of this on the Year War. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the original historical development, the Zeon side did develop a lot of powerful MA and MS in the later stage of the war, but due to time reasons, they were not able to catch up with the battle at the last moment.
Now because of their own covert intervention, I am afraid that these cutting-edge mechs that were once buried in history will appear on the battlefield one after another, making the war more intense in the coming year.
"The new MS and MA, what is the model of the MA testing machine sent over this time?" Selena asked Laxis curiously, this time the person in charge of recording the experimental MA data. As a result, she was absolutely aware of confidential information such as the model number and data of the airframe.
"The experimental MA is the MA-06 Val that was developed in history, but did not catch up with the war? Of course, this body is a first-class mass production machine, and some technical problems have not been solved, but it is no longer a problem to put it into actual combat. As she spoke, Laxis had already posted a picture of a red MA to the screen.
Compared to the previous MA-05 Bigelow, which looked like a spacecraft, the MA-06 Val? The overall structure of the Valo is more compact, and it is getting farther and farther away from the appearance of a spacecraft. If you want to describe the appearance of this MA, with a pair of red fighting claws and that special nose, this big guy looks like a giant lobster.
"I didn't expect the butterfly to be conspicuous now, so it seems that Zeon may have a great chance of winning, winning the one-year war!" Selena looked at Laxis and asked, although she didn't have a good impression of the Earth Federation in this world, she was also disgusted with the Duchy of Zeon, which was similar to the Nazi regime.
At the beginning of the war six months ago, more than three billion people died, most of them on the Zeon side. Those high-ranking people in this country have no regard for the lives of civilians. The ensuing colonial satellite downfall operation can be described as frenzied.
"You don't have to worry about that, because there's a new mech on the federal side. A large number of MS appeared in advance, and it was also because of this pressure that Zeon had to devote itself to the research and development of new MS and MA, in order to have an advantage in quality. Laxis said lightly, but in reality, Zeon was under increasing pressure on the two battlefields of Earth and the universe because of the early appearance of the federal MS troops.
"Looks like I'm thinking too much, right when we're going to leave Zeon. I can't stand these inhumane human experiments anymore. If it weren't for the mission, I would have left this institute long ago. Selena confided to Laxis her dislike of the Zeon Institute, where the person in charge was a completely inhuman lunatic.
"Don't worry, we'll at least wait until the Federation Army launches a counteroffensive to get out of Zeon. In fact, when it comes to human experiments, the Federation is probably no better. That's all for today, and we'll meet tomorrow. After Laxis said this, she smiled and said goodbye to Selena.
Selena, who had turned off the encrypted communication, turned around again and walked to Michelle's bedroom, ready to see how the child was doing.
At the same time that Laxis and Selena were finished talking, in this colonial satellite called Olympus, in another research institute, a researcher in a research suit was in the office at the moment and was furious.
"Ito, that bastard, why can his research progress so quickly. What Odin system, it simply can't be compared to my EXAM system. Why did he succeed first, I am not reconciled, I am really unwilling! "Kelsto? Dr. Monjaefu roared hoarsely in the office, his face filled with reluctance and anger.
Dr. Ito and Dr. Kirstow were originally colleagues, but their relationship was not very good. With the formation of the Foranagan Research Institute by Kycilia, the situation has not improved, but has become more abandoned.
The reason for this is that the projects that Dr. Ito and Dr. Kirstow are working on have very similar goals in terms of practical use. However, Zeon's resources are limited, and it is impossible for the military to use two systems to fight the armed forces, so the competition between the two men is becoming stronger and stronger.
Originally, Kelsto's EXAM program was going very well, but Dr. Ito received technical support from Laxis. The progress of the Odin system has been significantly accelerated, and in the near future there will be tests of the experimental body.
Dr. Kelsto, who had received the news an hour earlier, could no longer hide his jealousy and anger. Because he knew very well in his heart that as long as the body test of the Odin system was completed, then under the influence of the current fierce battle, this system would be adopted by the Zeon military, and then received strong support.
In contrast, other experimental systems that are still in the research stage will be greatly reduced in budget and material support, and may even be abandoned.
Dr. Kirsto, who has put a lot of effort into the EXAM system, will never be willing to give up his research project without success.
"Unwilling, I'm absolutely unwilling. I'll start speeding up the experiment tomorrow, and I'm not going to lose to that guy Ito. If I don't get support, then I'm going to......... you're forcing me." Dr. Kirstow, who had made up his mind in his heart, immediately made a dangerous decision.
On August 18, UC0079, in a laboratory on the colonial satellite Olympus, the EXAM program, a tactical device historically used to combat new humans, was developed.
However, the cost of completing the system was the result of the apparent unconscious test driver. Because the person was a member of the military, Dr. Kirstow was pressured by the military.
Later, in the battle with the Odin system, the Great Demon Experimental Body equipped with the EXAM system did not win the battle as expected. On the contrary, because of the overload of the system, the test driver actually died.
Such an accident apparently deprived the EXAM system, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Kycilia, of a reason for support. At the same time, the plan to fight against the new humans also made the people of the Foranagan Research Institute very repulsive to Dr. Kirstowe.
As a result, Dr. Kelsto's research group was disbanded, the research plan was frozen, and he himself would be transferred to another position in a few days.
On August 25, UC0079, an important event occurred in the Earth Theater of Operations, because of the presence of MS troops in advance, General Rebile ordered the American forces to launch a counterattack.
After a week of fierce fighting, all the cities and regions that Zeon had captured in Central and North America were recaptured by the Union Army.
The remnants of the defeated Zeon troops, received by the opposing diving troops, fled to Africa in disarray.
On September 3, UC0079, the Zeon Airborne Forces began to be in the theater space, and the Marine Combat Grand Demon began to replenish the Zeon troops in various places.
At the same time, in the area of the Olympus colonial satellite, three federal warships quietly stayed at a position of 500 kilometers from the colonial satellite.
Instead of approaching the satellite colonies ahead, these warships opted for a state of communication silence. Soon after, a small transport ship approached the Federation battleship.
Soon in one of the battleships, a lieutenant colonel of the Union Army met a somewhat nervous Dr. Kirstow. It turned out that the doctor was unwilling to let his research be abolished like this, so he gritted his teeth and decided to defect to the Federation.
After contacting federal intelligence agents, Dr. Kirstow began his escape with the research materials obtained from the Foranagan research plane.
The Federation attached great importance to Dr. Kelstow and the information in his possession, so it immediately sent three warships to the Olympus colonial satellite to meet them.
"Doctor, welcome to the Commonwealth. I am the commander of the fleet in charge of receiving you, Lieutenant Colonel Sal. Please come with me to the rest pod for a rest, in a day we will be on Luna 2, and in three days you will be safely on Earth. The Lieutenant Colonel Sal smiled and comforted Dr. Kirstow, saying that the scientist in front of him, who had defected from Zeon, had mastered the latest research techniques in Zeon.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, let's get out of here first. In this area, there are Zeon patrols. I don't feel safe here. Dr. Kirstow urged, he wouldn't be so optimistic until he reached Earth.
Because Dr. Kirstow knew what the impact he would have on Zeon. New human research and the design of many related equipment are new technologies that can have an impact on warfare.
With the Federation's manpower and material resources greatly stronger than Zeon's, if they had obtained the technology that Zeon had secretly researched, the balance of war would be tilted again.
"Rest assured, by the time you board this warship, we'll already be on our way home. Go and rest first, and we'll wake you up when we get to your destination. With that, Lieutenant Colonel Sal asked for a soldier and led Dr. Kirstow to the rest room that had been prepared for him.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Sal, who had just returned to the bridge, heard bad news that the rear of the fleet had found traces of Zeon's troops. The other party is rushing here with all their might, apparently preparing to launch a pursuit.
Lieutenant Commander Sal immediately issued an order for the fleet to leave the area at full speed. The most important task now is to protect Dr. Kelstow and reach Luna 2 safely.
The three Federation warships that received the order immediately galloped away into the distance without heading. However, the Zeon battleship, which was trailing behind, had the intention of giving up.
"The Zeon has unleashed a small fuselage and is heading towards our ships at high speed." The radarman immediately reported the situation of the release, and he thought he had read it wrong. The other party is actually attacking with a single machine, which is a little too arrogant.
"Ignore the other party's pursuit and leave this area at full speed!" Lieutenant Colonel Sal was not in the mood to fight the enemy at all at this moment, and therefore continued with the previous order.
However, things often backfired, and soon the radar soldiers discovered that the unknown aircraft was approaching at high speed. And the speed also surpassed that of the battleship.
"The enemy has caught up, our battleship cannot get rid of it, and according to the heat source, the other party may be MA." The soldier in charge of the observation spoke again.
The Federation Army already has a profound image of Zeon's MA in the attack and defense of Luna 2 some time ago. The other party is simply a battleship killer, and its powerful mobility and firepower can ensure that this thing can perform special missions.
Lieutenant Colonel Saar, who realized that something was wrong, immediately gave the order to greet him: "Release the MS to meet the troops, and the ship continues to move forward, ignoring the pursuing enemy." ”
