Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Pursuit That Doesn't Give Up
Watching the back of the red Zagu disappear into the black curtain, Yuan Hao turned around. He approached the Gundam piloted by Amuro and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Boy, it's time for us to go back. Yuan Hao commanded with a smile.
"Ah...... Oh! huhuhu......" Amuro replied in surprise, and then gasped for breath. It seems that he has been nervous since some point, and only now has he come back to his senses slightly.
"Lieutenant Colonel, is the battle over?" snorted several times, until his breathing calmed a little, and Amuro remembered that the enemy had left.
He asked such a question stupidly, and Yuan Hao answered affirmatively.
"Let's go back quickly!The weapons and ammunition in the body need to be replenished!" Yuan Hao pulled Gundam's arm and used the vibration to transmit the sound to it: "I still have some energy left for my heavy rifle, but it is only enough to fire three times...... The Vulcan cannon didn't move, but the armor of this thing Dizagu was basically useless. As for you, you're probably worse off than I am. ”
"Yes. The energy of the beam rifle has bottomed out, and it will take at least thirty minutes to fully charge, and there are only six shells left in the Vulcan cannon......" Amuro looked at the meter in the cabin, and reported the value on the meter with some shame. In the course of his pursuit with Char's Zagu, he wasted too much ammunition.
Yuan Hao did not blame him for this.
Although this is a bit of a waste, as a fifteen-year-old boy who has entered the battlefield for the first time, it is already difficult to survive the entanglement with a strong person like Char. Not to mention that when he was in the colony earlier, he had already won in the face of ordinary Jean soldiers - in terms of this round of battles in SIDE7, his results were not as good as Yuan Hao, but he could be regarded as a genius.
"Let's go!" Yuan Hao smiled, gently pulling him.
The army, after all, speaks on the battlefield by virtue of its achievements. Amuro's performance is good, and in the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Hao is extremely tolerant of him.
The two mechs flew towards the White Fortress, and they flew past the towering bridge. After finding a suitable position for landing, Yuan Hao chose the safest way, approaching from the stern hatch when the engine thrust was reduced to the minimum at the white base.
At this time, the laser-induced beam comes into play, and the mothership's computer is connected to the machine's computer to carry out relevant line detection calculations, and finally a safe line is planned, which automatically guides the two airframes back to the hangar.
Yuan Hao and Amuro came down from the airframe and were welcomed by the rearmament soldiers. Although they will be busy like dogs in the next moment, they will be happy in this moment.
After all......
"It's great to survive!" they were happy and thanked Yuan Hao and Amuro one after another.
Yuan Hao didn't pay more attention to them, he had more important things to do. At the moment of getting off the plane, he made a slight turn and walked towards the bridge like a fairy ascending to the clouds. As for Amuro, Yuan Hao unceremoniously threw this tender and delicious little fresh meat to the uncle of the maintenance army.
By this time he had turned his back, and although he heard some discordant screams behind him, he couldn't care much more.
"Lieutenant Colonel, hard work!"
Gently drifting into the bridge of the White Fortress, the first thing greeted was not the smile of the beautiful woman, but the excited face of Brad's waiting little eyes.
In Captain Paul's mouth, Brad already clearly understood what a terrifying character Char was. It is a happy thing that Yuan Hao and Amuro can directly force such a boss back with two Gundams (the Spearhead is also a Gundam series). That's why he's so excited.
"Don't be too happy. Msey was still following. Although after the loss of two Sacks, Mr. Sayai should not dare to catch up again. The Red Comet's retreat also shows that he has run out of ammunition, but we still can't afford to be careless.
Jean still has power here, maybe they will contact Char and supply him.
In short, it is necessary to remain vigilant for now, and Master Long Jose's nuclear fighters, as well as the Spearhead and Gundam, must be prepared to attack at any time. Yuan Hao loudly admonished everyone.
"Yes!" the crowd on the bridge stood in awe.
Soon, the battleship accelerated. Yuan Hao looked at the speed of the star shadow in the distance, and nodded secretly.
At this moment, his heart soared: "After suffering a greater loss than the original, what will Char do?"
How?
What else can Char do? As a soldier, as long as he is not the group standing at the top, after encountering a blow, their priority is to report it, find their parents, and ask for support.
Char is part of the Cosmic Assault Force under Druze Zabi. At the moment, if he wants to find someone to ask for a supplement to his combat power, he naturally has to find his boss, Druze Zabi.
After returning to Msey, Char had her captain turn on the laser communication with Vice Admiral Druze.
"Hello, Your Excellency Lieutenant General!" Char saluted the tall back on the screen.
As the commander of the Space Assault Army, Druze Zabi still has a lot of things on hand. Char clearly saw countless soldiers busy in the space of the bridge, and there was a noisy sound coming from inside, obviously the lieutenant general was still busy at this time.
"Ah...... It's Char!How did you complete the sweeping mission?" Hearing the voice of the love general, Lieutenant General Druze's body paused slightly, and then turned around.
The lieutenant general was a tall man, and the uniform of Jean was tight on him, making people clearly feel the strength contained under the army green. His skin was slightly dark, and his square face had several hideous scars and scars, which looked quite formidable, and I always thought that he was a vicious person.
However, the saying that people should not be disrespectful could not be more correct in applying to him: he was a regular soldier, strict with himself, and treated his subordinates well, and shared the weal and woe with his subordinates, and governed the army strictly.
It can be said that in addition to Kilian, the most popular among junior officers and soldiers in the Zeon army is Druze. And he also employs people regardless of identity, origin, or even personality. And because of this, none of the people who are used are absolutely loyal to him. It can be said that under his ugly and terrible face, he has a kind character that does not match his face.
"This is a real soldier and a very good person to deal with. However, now is not the time to deal with him. Char buried the impulse in her heart.
Facing the greeting given to him by his boss, he smiled lightly: "I have already passed the battle report of the sweeping mission to you." Now I have something else to report to you. ”
"Well, what is it? It must be a very important thing to make you so solemn. Druze asked with concern. At this moment, the muscles on his face twitched, becoming a little woody, but in addition to being terrifying, there were also inexplicable cuteness.
"I found out the truth about the operation of the Federation Army V. Char said softly.
"What?V Battle?" Druze's voice jerked up an octave.
What is Operation V? Of course Druze knew.
That was a continuation of the RX program and belonged to the Federation's own Mobile Suit development program. Originally, Jean still had some understanding of this plan - they saw the plan of the Federal Army to try to make steel tanks, which was still mainly based on long-range artillery warfare.
That kind of thing is called a mobile suit, but in fact, it looks like a tank.
Jean's Armaments Bureau assessed this and came to the conclusion that "such a mobile suit, not worth mentioning, is not at all suitable for operations under the Minovsky particle." One Zagu can easily handle three steel tanks like this. ”
"Is it really a design that is behind the times, and such a thing can be called a mobile suit?" Gene pouted after coming to the relevant conclusion, dismissing it.
The Federation seems to have delayed funding for the RX program after coming to the conclusion that Mobile Suits do not have a significant advantage over traditional mobile weapons. The various levels of secrecy were gradually reduced, allowing Jean to understand this further.
The two sides are becoming more and more aligned in their understanding of the RX program.
Until the outbreak of war!
War broke out, and the Federation and Jean fought to the death in Rum. In the end, with the cooperation of Mobile Suits, Jean was victorious. The crushing defeat at the Battle of Rum showed the Federation the power of mobile suits. After General Rebile was rescued and the Federation decided to fight Jean to the end, the Federation incorporated Project RX into Operation V in its entirety.
The development of mobile suits and the development of new warships that will support the operation of mobile suits, the Federal Assembly has increased its investment in the RX program and further increased the level of secrecy.
From that time on, the Federation's V operation was full of mystery to Jean.
Jean has been trying to figure out the truth about Operation V, but he has never been able to get the point.
Now...... Char suddenly told Druze that he had found the truth about V's battle, and it was no wonder that Druze was so surprised.
"What the hell is Operation V? they've succeeded?" Druze frowned slightly.
"And they succeeded...... A new type of combat carrier, capable of hitching on the ...... of the MS It looks like they have a much higher efficiency in the ability to operate the MS than the warships we already have. Char said as he sent the information he had photographed to Druze: "The MS mothership is not the key, but the MS of the Federation Army...... I've fought with it, and I have to say that the Federation Army has developed something amazing. ”
"Oh, something amazing...... It's really amazing to be so praised by Char. Druze looked at the information Char had passed on to him, and listened to Char's explanation as he watched.
"The Union MS has more power, it uses lighter and stronger armor, it has excellent maneuverability, it has a more agile body, and it is also powerful, it can use a miniaturized beam to reuse the gun, and it has the power of the secondary gun of a Salamis-class cruiser - just one shot of Zagu is over. Char said calmly: "I have fought with the MS of the Federation, and I have to say that the performance of the Federation is completely above Zagu. The driver was also very strong, and in the forcible reconnaissance operation, I lost all the MS on the Mse, and even I myself was broken. ”
"What? The Federation's Mobile Suit has such strength?" Druze looked surprised, his face became solemn, "What are you going to do?"
"I? I'm going to keep up. Char nodded lightly and said his plan: "The Trojan Horse must also go to Earth." Based on their current trajectory, I think their route is to pass through Luna-2 and then reach Earth. We can ambush them on this line. At the worst, we must force them into the range of our army on Earth. ”
"Well, that's a good plan!" Druze listened, pondering silently for a moment, and finally nodded approvingly. Immediately, he grabbed an officer of Jean beside him, asked a few words in a low voice, and then gave Char a reply: "Just do as you say." I'll arrange for a supply ship to give you the necessary supplies. Well, let's mobilize California's supplies. I'll give you four Mobile Suits. ”
"Understood!" Char gave a military salute to Druze and cut off the communication channel.
"Steering...... Towards the Garna, Luna II. By the way, give me a communication with Commander Karma of California. Char quickly ordered.
California is a high-altitude artificial satellite in orbit at an angle of thirty degrees to the ecliptic, garrisoned by Zeon's reconnaissance force. Its main mission is to scout the Federation forces on Earth and monitor the condition of Luna II.
In order to avoid attacks from Earth and Luna-2, it often changes its orbit from time to time and scatters high concentrations of Minovsky particles in nearby airspace.
The satellite was remotely commanded by Colonel Kalmar Zabi's North American Army Gene headquarters.
Karma Zabi was the son of the Zabi family, and he was only eight years old when his father sat on the throne of the Duchy of Zeon. Maybe it's because of the environment, or maybe it's by nature, he is not naturally very suspicious of others. He is tolerant of people, but lacks the courage and ambition to be a general. Naturally, he was also too young.
Karma is Char's military school classmate and close friend.
After getting permission from Druze Zabi, Char greeted Karma and explained his plans. Of course, in the case of Karma, Char focused on his plan to force a Trojan horse that would definitely descend to Earth into North America.
"That's ...... The task of destroying the Trojan is up to you. That's what Char said.
"Char, is this to give me the merit?" Karma guessed.
In this regard, he began to prepare.
At the same time, in order to ensure the success of Char's plan, he also sent a well-prepared Papua supply ship to advance to the California satellite.
The Papua-class supply ships are relatively backward old supply ships. It is undoubtedly not enough to use such an old grandfather-level product to supply the Musai. But now there is no way. As the war between Jean and the Federation reaches a stalemate, Jean's own lack of resources is gradually revealed.
Whether on Earth or in the universe, Jean felt a lot of pressure. To do this, they had to "tap" all their potential to conduct the war. The investment of Papua-class supply ships, the development of the occupied zone, and the North American wolf fighting incident that went viral a few months ago all illustrate the current situation.
Char also understands such a dilemma. Therefore, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he had no choice but to respond. He knew that when it came to supplying himself: both Druze and Karma had done their best.
"Anyway, there is finally enough MS replenishment and ammunition. Looking at the airspace in front of him, Char thought secretly.
At this moment, he was still chasing the white base.
