Chapter 128: Crusade

On January 12, UC0080, after a hard battle, the Earth Federation Space Force finally took the Gene mainland under the leadership of Lieutenant General Mao Xinglan. The Duchy of Jean is a thing of the past, and SIDE3 doesn't have anything to do with the Republic of Jean.

As for the question of how to deal with the Jean mainland, because the North American side no longer dominates the Earth Federation, it adheres to the "axiom" and "justice", and at the same time as the military control of the Jean homeland, the space military tribunal was quickly established.

This is similar to the existence of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal in the old days, and its gist is also very clear, that is, to liquidate the crimes against humanity committed by the Duchy of Jean, a military organization against humanity, in the war of independence. Revealing the truth about Jean to everyone openly and impartially is the mission of this military tribunal.

"We've won...... Shouldn't we show our broad-mindedness to those people so that they can recognize us?"

"That's it...... Now is the right time to try to restore production and improve the earth's economy...... War is a disservice for both sides. Let's not continue to hurt each other!" Aside from Jean's voice, under the encouragement of some people, there is still a very market in the Earth Federation.

The trial of war criminals, which simply does not create any benefits.

Liquidating Jean is where their interest lies. It's just that they don't want to make such a reckoning known to everyone. What they think more about is that they quietly enter the village and don't shoot guns.

However, Huaxia and a group of their allies were reluctant - after courting Australia, Germany, Russia, and France, they put forward their own ideas and quickly won everyone's approval:

"Every age has its own responsibilities, and each one has to take responsibility for their choices. If a separatist organization in the name of independence and freedom is not liquidated, it will still let them live well in the present, and let the world still be confused by them.

In a sense, that's a crime against good people. Killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid, which is an unbreakable truth.

It's easy for us to let these people go now, but when we let them go, we don't get their support, but their unrepentant death. Without exposing their darkness and making people realize their true colors, many people will think that their tragic heroes are true warriors, revolutionaries who fight for the righteousness of the so-called inhabitants of the universe.

They will forget the casualties of the week's battles and will continue to agitate for the high-sounding ideals of those people. Freedom, independence...... What a wish, all SIDE want to get more of their full strength.

If we want this Earth Federation to continue to exist and our interests are not compromised, then we must let these people know what not to do and what the consequences will be. ”

Thus, the military tribunal in space was opened. A lot of information that was considered top secret was revealed in the side, including the death of Jean, the change of ISDE3, the determination of the internal policy of the Principality, the bill for the collection of foreign taxes, the strict hierarchical system of the Principality of Jean and the exorbitant taxes of SIDE3......

Everyone has a brain. Maybe most of the common people will blindly follow the trend, but even if they follow the trend, they will make an estimate in their hearts, whether to stay in the federation, which looks a little corrupt but still maintains democracy and the rule of law on the surface, or follow Jean, who holds high the banner of freedom, democracy, and independence, to enjoy the life of the so-called gravity tax and air tax in the colony?

Every human heart has a scale. After much deliberation, the surviving residents of SIDE were a little alienated from Jean.

Jean who unveiled his true face was a little bit different from what they imagined, and it wasn't such a wonderful country.

On February 16, UC0080, the final verdict was handed down by the Space Military Court, and both the Zabi family and Jean's top brass were charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes...... and other crimes, Kycilia Zabi was sentenced to death, while senior officials close to Jean were sentenced to decades in prison.

On March 8, SIDE3 established a new political structure. The primary purpose of this colonial management organization, which was led by Huaxia, was to further liquidate the Zabi and Jean factions, and to improve the SIDE3 colony by demolishing the oppressive closed colony and making it open-ended, and supporting other SIDE in their so-called colonial revival projects.

It's a normal-looking command.

But in fact, this is the beginning of a big game of chess in China.

However, no matter what kind of big chess, this has nothing to do with Yuan Hao.

After six course corrections, five slowdowns, and three speed increases, Yuan Hao finally led the eighteenth task force to this star field that was unfamiliar to everyone in the fleet.

Mars was already behind them, and in front of them was a jumble of rubble. Densely packed in a ring in front of them, obscuring their vision.

This is the asteroid belt, a zone between Mars and Jupiter, which is densely packed with half a million asteroids of various shapes and sizes. These rocks are made up of stars, which seem to be very tightly packed and dense in front of us, but they are actually at least hundreds of kilometers away from each other.

However, hundreds of kilometers may be a long distance on Earth. But in the universe, it is fleeting. Such a gap is naturally not enough for the fleet to pass safely. In fact, Yuan Hao, who infiltrated here, did not put his hopes of going to Axis on leading a team across the asteroid belt.

After coming here, Yuan Hao's goal has been to the place 5,000 kilometers away, which is the entrance to the Kirkwood Gap, and the asteroid Axis he is about to go to is in that area.

As an intelligent species, humans have the ability to destroy nature - the asteroids that were originally following Axis were cleared by Jean's men.

This has happened over the past few months, as Jean's remaining men have cleared the debris around Axis, extending the detection range of Axis to 1,000 kilometers, giving it the appearance of a cosmic fortress.

"This greatly increases the difficulty for us to steal the city!" Yang Xue frowned tightly looking at the information sent from the remote sensing automatic detection satellite.

"It's really troublesome...... If you don't want to find a way to solve this problem...... Then we're going to storm here. Brad frowned as well.

"Actually, it's not that serious...... Yuan Hao thought for a moment and waved his hand gently: "Since the regular road is faster than stealth, then we can divide the troops directly." Sima waited here with two Zanzibar ships disguised as the vanguard of the remnants of Jean. We will go ahead with the fleets of the Federation.

As we approach our assigned position, Sima sets off again – so that with a certain amount of planning, we can really guarantee the success of the cooperation between the two sides...... We can even send two Salamis-class ships to play in front of them!"

"What do you mean?" Yang Xue seemed to think of something, and her eyes widened suddenly.

"It's exactly what you think. Yuan Hao nodded heavily: "There are chasing and fleeing, and there are some apparent casualties...... In this way, you can win the trust of those people in the shortest possible time. ”

"Well, that makes sense!" Yang Xue nodded approvingly, but she also reminded Yuan Hao: "This time sneak in...... The requirements for MS drivers are quite high. Sima's ......"

"Don't worry, I'll go over and help. Yuan Hao said.

"Then I'll rest assured, with the combat power of the Vanguard Gundam, I should be able to ......" Yang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I'm not going to take the Vanguard Gundam with me...... How could a Federation mech be on Jean's battleship? Yuan Hao shook his head again.

"Then ......" Yang Xue was taken aback, and then became a little anxious: "General, you can't joke with your own life." ”

"I'm not kidding. Although there is no Vanguard Gundam, it is enough to have the MS-14F...... Commander Warriors aren't much worse than Gundam in terms of performance alone. And this is the body that belongs to Jean, and on Zanzibar, it will not look obtrusive. Yuan Hao said his plan directly.

"Hmm, that's ...... to say that" Hearing that Yuan Hao was arranging like this, Yang Xue didn't worry anymore. She cared about Yuan Hao, and thought about it, and she also thought that this feasibility was quite great.

Thus, the battle plan was thus determined.

The Red Pegasus led the main force of Task Force 18 and traveled at a slower pace through the gaps in the asteroid field to Axis. Their mission is stealth, and the stealth of their actions is more important than their speed.

All this, Yuan Hao entrusted it to Yang Xue and Brad. Yuan Hao believes that with their ability, they will be able to complete this task perfectly.

They set off.

And two days after their departure, Yuan Hao got their signal.

"They're close to point A and everything is fine. They were not discovered. Sima reported to Yuan Hao the news from the red flying horse.

"In that case, let's go too. Yuan Hao sat in the captain's seat of the battleship and waved his hand, "Turn on the battleship's engine and notify the battleship behind...... Acting is about to start now. ”

At the sound of an order, two Zanzibar-class motorized cruisers, which looked scarred and painted with Jean's logo, started their engines.

Five minutes after they sailed forward, the two Salamis-class cruisers that were chasing them also erupted in red flames. The battleships of the Federation pursued at a faster speed in the direction where Zanzibar was.

The big drama has opened.

And at this time, Jean's people in Axis didn't know anything about it.

Axis, a remote asteroid base, was initially no different from any other asteroid.

Later, the people of SIDE3 valued its location and the good resources it contained, and developed it as a supply point for the mines and the Jupiter Voyage Mission, which has been going on for three years now.

Although due to the lack of manpower, the development progress of Axis is not satisfactory. But it has also somewhat prepared a considerable space in a few years - these spaces are naturally not enough to accommodate all the fleets of the remnants of Jean, but it is used to supply the upper echelons of the fleet, and it seems that it can still meet their extravagant needs.

That's enough, Jean has never been a place to pursue democracy.

As principalities, they are characterized by a distinct hierarchy and strict civic hierarchy. Axis's garrison knew this very well, and they were used to it all.

"Still, we still have to move fast!" Major Martin Houston, the current commander of the Axis garrison, with silver-gray hair and a slightly older appearance, sighed with a frown.

"There's no way around that. I'm running out of manpower! I've put together a spare Zagu as an auxiliary engineering equipment, but I can't get the planned resettlement space before the big guys arrive...... Their goal is too big. I can't finish it...... You don't see how worn out of my zagu are now. Major Farlar Baez, who was the commander of the Axis garrison fleet, spread his hands helplessly.

He was a young man with reddish-brown hair, and he was very energetic in his early 30s, and naturally quite funny.

The objective environment in front of him determined that he was helpless about it.

"What if you put all the MS into the job?" Martin Houston came up with the idea. "It might work faster, but we have ...... control over the airspace around Axis," Farrar Baez shook his head slightly. For the sake of safety, he didn't want that.

"That ......" Martin Houston was about to say something more, when suddenly a sharp siren sounded suddenly. "What's going on?" Martin Houston sent the communication directly to the radar room.

"Major, a sharp increase in the concentration of Minovsky particles in the E5 airspace has been detected!" the non-commissioned officer in the radar room reported nervously.

"What?" said Martin and Farrar, both in surprise.

"Is the Minovsky particle concentration rising? Is it the enemy? Is it the Federation...... Didn't you say that there was a truce between the Federation and our Jean?" Martin was even a little incoherent.

To tell the truth, he has always served as a garrison officer, more like a civilian officer than a soldier. Doing things according to class is what he likes, and he is somewhat uncomfortable when he encounters a sudden accident.

"Calm down...... No matter what happens, we can't panic!" said Farrar calmly. At this moment, he showed a bit of momentum.

In short, just as the two were entangled, the exclamation of the radar non-commissioned officer came from the video communication that had not been hung up: "Combat heat source detection, at a distance of 1,175,000, there are two Zanzibar-class cruisers and two Federation-class Salamis-class cruisers." ”

"What?" Farrar was shocked, "the Federation's fleet is really ...... No, where did those two Zanzibar class come from?" he asked loudly.

But no one answered him, and the doubt was stuck in his throat, and he was very uncomfortable

。 At this time, the radar non-commissioned officer on the other side of the video signal reported to him again: "There is a distress signal from a Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser. ”

"Hmm, distress signal, come in!" Farrar decided.

Soon the signal was transmitted to his side and played. This is a sound signal recorded in the form of data, although it is full of noise after the interference of the Minowsky particles at the combat concentration level, and the sound in it is somewhat distorted, but no matter what, the people in the command can still hear the real content of the words inside.

"Here it is...... Zanzibar-class cruisers of the 320 Mobile Forces...... Nock Marne...... We were ordered to go to Axis...... ...... by the Federal Sweep Force Catch up. Battleship killed...... Serious, low ammunition...... Request for help!" In the midst of the rustling noise, the signal rang out like this.

"Mobile Unit 320?Abba Waku's defenders?are the fugitives?How did they get here so quickly?" The sudden distress message made Farrar a little puzzled. It wasn't that he suspected anything, but that he didn't know what it was all about.

"Don't think about it so much. Man, there's only one thing we can do right now!" Martin, who came back to his senses, patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"I understand! I'll send the battleship right away. Farrar nodded knowingly.

Rescue your own compatriots, this is a must. He had no suspicion that it was a conspiracy at all.
