Chapter 61: Initial Cooperation

The future is unknown to others, but to Yuan Hao, it is more than ninety percent known. The Federation Army's space fleet is indeed very powerful, but Yuan Hao believes that the Jean Army has the strength to rely on a large humanoid mecha like Zagu who is considered unscientific to teach the Federation Army's fleet to make ships every minute.

To put it simply, Yuan Hao has a lot of confidence in mobile suits. This inexplicable self-confidence gave him the confidence to bet against Mao Xinglan.

The bet was made, and all the Marines and Yuan Hao were put under house arrest by the military of the Huaxia Theater of the Federal Army.

This house arrest made those Jean soldiers a little bored and a little uneasy. They were a little agitated. The environment of the earth is completely different from that of space, and this difference makes them feel that their souls are bound by the devil of gravity.

Sima Karahau is the founder and de facto commander of the Marine Corps, and she is the eldest sister of everyone. Naturally, these soldiers told her about their inner anguish.

What is the feeling of being under the fence, and what is the taste of being bound to hands and feet, Sima really tasted it this time. Hearing the crying of her subordinates, Sima had no better way, she shook her head, and found Yuan Hao, who had asked Mao Xinglan for a warehouse and was busy with those weird T-1000s and Miles, and threw these problems directly to him and asked her to help solve them.

"That's it?" Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows.

These former Jean soldiers would feel like this, and Yuan Hao knew why when he thought about it. His mind flickered, and he quickly came up with a solution to the problem.

In his opinion, the Marines will have such and such thoughts at the moment, which is definitely a sign of idle egg pain.

Since they're so idle, keep them busy.

Yuan Hao found Mao Xinglan for this and made a request to him: "Let the soldiers of the Jean Army train with you and study together." Sooner or later, you will have to encounter mobile suits, so why don't you first learn about the performance and combat habits of mobile suits, and know yourself and your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles!"

"Well, that's a good idea too!" Mao Xinglan nodded and smiled snickeringly.

In fact, he had long heard of Jean's military irritability. He also wanted to see what means Yuan Hao used to quell such a dispute. But he didn't want Yuan Hao to directly hit him with the method.

However, he still agrees with the solution proposed by Yuan Hao. As Yuan Hao himself said, the Jean Army uses mobile suits as their main weapon, and no matter how much the Federation looks down on him, they will eventually have to meet with mobile suits on the battlefield.

Although this encounter is likely to have nothing to do with them in space and on land, some data can be used universally - unlike other countries dominated by the air force and space force, the biggest force of the Chinese military has always been the army.

Mao Xinglan is the supreme commander of the Chinese Army, and Yuan Hao handed over the relevant information of the Jean Army to him, so naturally he also used his identity to spread the relevant information to more Chinese soldiers.

In short, after Yuan Hao made such a suggestion to Mao Xinglan, these Jean soldiers were rounded, absorbed, and digested by the Huaxia military in a certain situation. They were no longer bored, they were no longer idle, but they were frantically busy: the pilots were dragged in to ask for advice on Mobile Suit Tactics, the battleship was captured to ask for advice on the tactics of MS cooperation with battleships, and the logistics staff on those battleships were also assigned several students to ask them about Mobile Suit maintenance.

As for mobile suits, the Federation is indeed also researching, and the RX program for the development of mobile suits by the Federation Army itself is well underway. It's certainly not the Federation's fear of mobile suits, it's the Federation's instinct for curiosity about new toys - what you have, I'll have too, and I'm going to suppress you on your strengths.

The Federation generally thinks so.

However, due to some conventional technical limitations, there is no presence of Huaxia in the military factories and research institutes participating in the RX program - perhaps there are Chinese people in the scientific and technological personnel participating in the RX program, but there are no people from the military factories and research institutes in China. As the Earth Federation's most secret weapon development plan, it is kept secret from Huaxia.

It's not fair, right?

Truly!

But there are also reasons: Huaxia's technology is not advanced enough to undertake such research.

Huaxia protested against this countless times, but each time they said to stay for laterβ€”later, that is later. Huaxia can only suffer deeply, endure helplessly, and slowly catch up. But in a certain environment, it is not so easy to contend with the power of one "state" against the whole world.

Until, Yuan Hao brought these Jean's people over.

Although many of the people brought by Yuan Hao are soldiers, and there are only a few who can be called scientific and technological personnel, and they are all people who mainly focus on the actual combat evaluation side, but some new statements and new tactics brought by such a level still attract the attention of the Huaxia military.

For emerging things, the Chinese military has always had a twelve-point interest. They absorb their knowledge from these Jeans with a certain urgency.

At the same time, through the exchanges between the two sides, the conversations between each other, some statements that are different from Jean's propaganda also fell into the ears of these Jean soldiers.

β€œ...... Don't always talk about how innocent you space dwellers are, how oppressed they are. Look at the conditions that you Jean asks for independence...... The Federation is absolutely impossible to agree.

Earth is the home country of space dwellers, and everything in the space colonies is built at federal expense. In the early days of colony building, in order to attract more people into space, the Federation adopted a high-welfare program.

You live in the land that the Federation has created for you, you breathe the air of the Federation, you enjoy a superior education, and you have more job opportunities......

These are the silent dedication and silent provision of the inhabitants of the earth of the Federation. With the increase in the number of inhabitants of space on the night of the construction of the colony, it is also expected that the inhabitants of space will continue to enjoy high benefits, and it is impossible to completely press taxes on the planet. There is no such reason for the few to feed the many.

The Confederation invested in the colonies, and the colonies were bound to give back their interests to the Confederation. As a result, taxation becomes inevitable. In fact, the taxes demanded by the Federation are not harsh for most of the inhabitants of the universe. Even those tax collections have been done in installments and have not had any impact on your lives.

I really can't figure out why you still find this unacceptable. Do you think that the preferential treatment of space dwellers must last forever and for a long time? This is impossible, and the state simply cannot afford it. ”

A certain officer of the Federation listened to Jean's men talk about the great righteousness of Jean's independence, but he pouted and gave such a completely different explanation from Jean's side.

I have to say that this truth is a very normal and logical thing in the eyes of the Federation. Everyone, including Seema, was amazed by this.

However, they also have their own insistence on the viewpoint: "We have no problem with the federal tax." But since we have paid taxes, then we should enjoy the benefits of taxpayers! Why not give us relevant political rights. ”

"What political rights do you Jean want? Do you want to be part of the Federation, like the other SIDES, or are you asking for political rights and interests that are much higher than those of the Federation's core member states under the guise of profiting for the space dwellers?" the Federation officer asked rhetorically.

"This ......," the person who was asked was speechless.

As for the final result of this matter, everyone in their right mind and without bad intentions will come to the same conclusion.

In short, the Confederation may have some unsatisfactory aspects, but as a polity, there is nothing wrong with the actual rules of the policies they are promoting.

What Jean is propagating, when you think about it, is completely untenable and extreme.

"Big sister, maybe we're really wrong!" Sima's men began to think.

"If it's wrong, it's corrected. We're on the side of the Federation right now, anyway. Seema smiled indifferently. She is a woman after all, a woman with no political ambitions. She couldn't care so much about the question of who was right and wrong between the Earth Federation and Jean.

The battle in space continues, and the war of humanity is unfolding.

In the face of the Gene Army's colony fall tactics, the Federation fleet fought desperately, but under the escort of the Jean Warships and Mobile Suits, such a block ended in failure.

UC0079 January 12, Colony Fall. As with Yuan Hao's known history, the colony disintegrated over the Pacific Ocean, smashing the main part of Sydney, Australia, while the rest of the debris was splattered everywhere. The shock caused by the huge impact made Yuan Hao, who was in the northern hemisphere, tremble for a while.

β€œ...... There is no Sydney anymore, now there is only the Sydney Sea...... A large lake with a maximum radius of 500 kilometers and a depth of more than 1,000 meters. This is still the most direct destruction. In fact, earthquakes caused by the impact of colonial satellites destroyed one-third of the continent of Oceania and sank 17% in the Pacific Ocean.

After the split, other fragments spread across the eastern Pacific Ocean to the North American continent, destroying a quarter of the North American continent and causing a tsunami that destroyed all the federal naval fleets in the Pacific Ocean and destroyed all the Pan-Pacific cities...... 320 million people were killed, injured or missing as a direct result of this, and 2 billion were killed or injured or missing as a result of weather changes. ......”

Listening to the news report, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Jean's people are so ruthless!" they felt terrified as they looked at the refreshed crater on the map, which was 500 kilometers in diameter.

"It's much more powerful than nuclear weapons...... I'm afraid that even Maozi's big Ivan can't do this. People sighed, and the look in their eyes was a little different when they looked at Sima.

Sima felt a strong sense of malice, and their hearts were also frightened by this result. What they thought was that if they weren't fooled by Yuan Hao here, the title of the executioner who slaughtered the colonists would fall on their heads. This is not a good title, and Sima and his men are not sure if they can really carry the weight of this title.

"It's okay, it's okay......" everyone rejoiced. They knew it had nothing to do with them, but they kept a low profile during the days of the colony's fall.

In the course of the battle, Earth-kun suffered great damage.

Jean wasn't satisfied, though.

Because to be honest, due to the sudden disintegration of the colony, Jean's British war was already a failure. Although it destroyed many of the Federation's warships and destroyed a metropolis on Earth, the purpose of destroying Gabro to force the Federation to surrender was completely unsuccessful.

Jean was upset about this.

On January 13, UC0079, pro-Jean SIDE6 declared neutrality.

The next day, Jean issued a notice that they were preparing for a second British operation - this time they chose to target SIDE5.

The current situation in space is that SIDE3 rebels, SIDE1, 2, and 4 are almost completely destroyed, SIDE6 is neutral, SIDE7 is still under construction, and the only inhabitants of the universe who support the Federation are mostly concentrated in SIDE5.

Jean wanted to take SIDE5 not only for the second Britannia project, but also to use the attack on SIDE5 as an excuse to lure the main force of the Federation Space Force out of the turtle shell of Luna-2 so that they could gather and annihilate it. Jean really understands that the Federation will never give up SIDE5.

In fact, Jean's actions hit the Federium right in the underbelly. In order to ensure the safety of SIDE5, the Federation Army sent the fleet on the Luna 2. The reinforcement fleet was formed by the combination of two regular fleets, under the command of Vice Admiral Rebil, and rushed to SIDE5 to save the scene.

By this time, the Mobile Unit of the Jean Army had taken control of the SIDE5 11th colony "Watohoat", and they slaughtered everyone in the colony, installed a nuclear pulse engine on the outer wall of the colony, and began to work on the track correction.

However, Lieutenant General Rebier suddenly arrived, ruining the work plan of the Jean army. The combat units of the Jean Army temporarily retreated, and at the same time called the support of the Jean fleet in the rear.

Lieutenant General Dozru arrived with his troops.

The two sides met in the Rum Universe of SIDE5.

This was the first large-scale decisive battle between fleets in the history of mankind.

The disposition of the forces on the part of the Jean Army was:

Commander of the 1st Combined Mobile Fleet, Vice Admiral Dozru

Under the jurisdiction of Vice Admiral Dozru, the 2nd Mobile Fleet, the 3rd Mobile Fleet, and the 4th Mobile Fleet;

Vice Admiral Danigan's Fifth Mobile Fleet, and Granada reinforcements under Rear Admiral Kycilia;

In total, there were 4 Gvarkin-class battleships, 9 heavy cruisers of the Chibe class, 69 light cruisers of the Msai class, 34 small combat ships of the Jicco class, and 22 supply ships of the Papua class.

The fleet consists of 400 Gattle-based aircraft, 320 MS-05 Zagu 1 fighters, and 2600 MS-06 Zagu 2 aircraft.

Total strength: 40,000 people

On the federal side, it is:

Conductor/Subject:

Commander of the 1st Combined Fleet - Vice Admiral Rebil

Chief of Staff of the Fleet - Commodore Kaningam

The fleet establishment is:

First Fleet

Earth Satellite Orbital Fleet

Second Fleet, Third Fleet - directly under Vice Admiral Rebil

Fourth Fleet - Half of the fleet remains

Fifth Fleet

Lunar garrison fleet

Sixth Fleet Independent Mobile Fleet (Side 7)

Luna II Garrison Fleet (Reserve) - Vice Admiral Thiam

Total: 48 Magellan-class battleships, 163 Salamis-class cruisers, 101 frigates, 14 missile carriers, 3 artillery ships, 250 small combat ships, and 250 Columbus-class supply ships.

The fleet contains: 60 space fighters.

Total strength: 84,000 people.

This is an unprecedented war, and it is also a counter-attack for the regrouping of the Federation. In order to succeed in this counterattack, the Federation Army dispatched more than 80% of its space army's combat strength. On the surface, the Federation's strength is far above Jean, with more than twice the number of warships on the other side, but what about the reality?

The decisive battle of the space fleet, which touched everyone's minds, began at 23:00 on January 15, UC0079.

The time in the universe is 23.00 minutes, and for Mao Xinglan and Yuan Hao, it is already 7 o'clock in the morning on the 16th.

After getting the news of the start of the battle, Mao Xinglan specially called Yuan Hao: "The decisive battle has begun, are you still insisting on your point of view......? I'm still willing to offer you protection. After all, we have benefited a lot from your cooperation a few days ago. There is really no need to continue such a bet. ”

Mao Xinglan was very generous, and he was as confident as all the generals of the Federation Army: as long as the Federation used such a fleet, it was only a matter of time before Jean was defeated.

However, Yuan Hao, who knew what was going on in this battle, had no such thoughts.

"Is Rum fighting?" Yuan Hao frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Mao Xinglan nodded.

"Do you think the Federation Army will win?" asked Yuan Hao again.

"Isn't this an obvious rule! The Jean army does not have as many warships as ours, and the firepower is not ......as strong as ours," Mao Xinglan nodded as a matter of course.

"But you forgot about Zagu, and you forgot that Zagu of the Jean Army is equipped with a low-yield nuclear bomb - a neutroductory nuclear bomb and rocket artillery, and it shouldn't be a problem to destroy one of your warships with one shot. Yuan Hao said leisurely: "I remember that the largest weapon missile of the Federation warship has been scrapped by most of it under the Minosky particle. ”

"This ......" Mao Xinglan was a little weak-hearted, "It shouldn't be so dangerous again." ”

"It should ...... ......Yuan Hao rolled his eyes: "Boss, is that what you said?"

"Let's wait and see!" Yuan Hao smiled and shook his head.
