Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Showdown? Test?
"What do you say? The second moon was invaded? ”
As the supreme commander of the Earth invasion operation, Jehart led the fleet to garrison the forward base for the attack on Earth after capturing Gundam AGE-3, but suddenly heard bad news from the second moon.
"Yes, the [Three Archangels] personally led a very small number of people to infiltrate the second moon and recapture Gundam AGE-3 and the pilot, although they were discovered in time before they fled, and carried out a siege, but the other party used tricks and deceived Lord Ilse with a fake asteroid, and finally let people escape." Flam Nala reported.
"Is Lord Iselkanda alright?" Jehart cared that although the philosophies were different, Izelkanda was both an elder and a teacher to him.
"Lord Iselkanda personally piloted the Lekirus Gundam into battle and fought with the [Angel of Judgment], although it was suppressed for a while, but it was still defeated due to physical reasons, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the old-timers, I'm afraid it would be ......"
"Damn!"
Jehart clenched his fist hard and slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat, scolding why he wasn't there, if he was......
"Lord Jehart."
"I'm fine, then again, what is Lekirus Gundam? New mech? Jehart calmed down and asked, he was a commander, and he couldn't let his feelings affect his mentality.
"Yes." Fram Nala retrieved the data of the Lekirus Gundam and explained to Jehart, "The Lekirus Gundam is a brand-new unit created by analyzing the technology of Gundam AGE-3 and combining it with EXA-DB, and its performance far exceeds that of the current MS in all aspects, and even surpasses the Daybreak Gundam of the [Judgment Angel]. ”
"Is it a Gundam belonging to VEGAN ? Jehart carefully browsed through the information of the Lekirus Gundam and its battle with Daybreak Gundam, "...... A powerful organism indeed. ”
Jehart saw that the reason why Daybreak Gundam was suppressed in the record was because of the excessive consumption in the early stage, and at the same time, it did not negate the excellence of the Lekirus Gundam, after all, Iselkanda's driving skills were not very outstanding.
"If you can equip Lord Jehart-sama with one of these, then defeating Gundam is just around the corner." Fram Nala said happily.
"No, you're wrong, you can't beat Gundam with a good mech alone." Ghartt shook his head and said.
"How so?"
"The Grim Reaper of VEGAN has never been Gundam, but Mr. Yang Hui and the three of them, who not only have excellent mechs, but also have unparalleled piloting skills, which is why Gundam is really difficult to deal with, the mechs and pilots are indispensable." Jehart said.
"But Ghart's technique is not weak, it's just a ...... body."
"You're still underestimating Mr. Yang Hui, Fram." Jehart interrupted Flam Nala's defense and continued to explain to her the horror of Yang Hui, "The terrible thing about Gundam is that it can evolve indefinitely, although except for the latest Gundam AGE-3, other Gundams are not connected to the core of infinite evolution, the AGE system, but Mr. Yang Hui himself is another AGE system. ”
"Another ...... AGE system? ”
"That's right, look at the development speed of the Federation's military strength, after Mr. Yang Hui joined the Federation Army, it began to climb rapidly, especially the general model of the mass production machine and the enhanced backpack to deal with various combat situations, which has reached the role of the AGE system, and even calculated various situations in advance, and ......"
With that, Jehart played the battle record of the Lekirus Gundam and Daybreak Gundam again, and slowed down the speed so that Flam Nala could take a closer look.
"Mr. Yang Hui didn't use all his strength, and he knew from the movements of Daybreak Gundam that this was a test, or a test."
"Testing? Test the performance of Lekirus Gundam? In the midst of such a dangerous battle!? Flam Nala was horrified, thinking that this was simply a fantasy, going deep into the rear of the enemy's army, being surrounded by heavy encirclement, outnumbered, and at the same time being caught off guard by the new mech, and still having the leisure to test the data of the enemy's new mech, instead of retreating as soon as possible?
However, if you look closely at the battle data, you can indeed find many clues, and there are many opportunities to get out of the battle with the Lekirus Gundam in the records, but the Daybreak Gundam has turned a blind eye to all of them, and has been entangled with the Lekirus Gundam, and some of them have ...... It's as if the Lekirus Gundam was deliberately given room to play.
"This ...... Is this something that people can do? ”
Fram Nala's voice trembled a little, and she lowered Yang Hui to a height beyond her reach, even ...... She didn't know if this was Yang Hui's limit, she was afraid that she would think this was Yang Hui's limit, and then it would be broken again.
"That's why he's Mr. Yang Hui, a man who turns the impossible into a possibility."
Furam Nala's evaluation of Yang Hui, Jehart thought deeply, that man has been working miracles since he appeared.
Jarhat has been working hard to improve himself, just to catch up with Yang Hui and surpass Yang Hui, if he wants to achieve his ideal future, he must climb the mountain of Yang Hui.
But...... Every time he climbed a distance, he thought he was closer to the top of the mountain, but he found that the top of the mountain was still out of reach of him, and even more distant from him.
Yang Hui is like a black hole, no one can see what exists in the center of the black hole, and what kind of world is inside the black hole.
"Lord Jehart, what is your target...... Our common aspirations...... Is there still a chance to make it happen? Fram Nala asked tremblingly, thinking of Yang Hui's terribleness, she couldn't see hope.
Jehart got up and walked in front of Flam Nala, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "There is hope, it is difficult, but it is precisely because of the difficulty that it is worth our efforts and efforts, isn't it?" ”
“…… Be! ”
Jehart is right, it is precisely because of the difficult road ahead that they will move forward, if it is easy to achieve the goal, will they still carry the weight?
No!
And...... The more difficult the goal, the more fulfilling it will be when it is achieved.
"By the way, Fram, does Lord Iselkanda have a new order?" Jehart asked.
"Lord Iselkanda has been informed of the movements of the Federation Army, and has ordered us to prevent the Federation from retaking the Luna base......"
"Hold on?"
"No, Izelkanda has another order, if nothing can be done, he can retreat and restart the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation."
"What? Restart the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation? ”
Jehart was shocked, the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation is a battle plan to use against the lost Loulan base, detonate a plasma bomb from the inside of the base, and destroy the base and the enemy army together.
"Yes, Lord Jehart...... We...... Should it be executed? ”
“…… I'll think about it, and I'll go down first. ”
"Yes."
Jehart did not deny that Iselkanda's order was correct, the Luna base is not only a large base of the Federal Army, but also a very important production base in the universe, the Luna base has a complete production line of warships and MS, once it is recaptured, the Federation Army can quickly replenish its forces, which is a serious threat to the resource-poor and low-productivity VEGAN.
But......
Once the [Abyssal Mouth] operation is successful, although it can destroy this strategic and production base, and at the same time can inflict heavy damage on the federal army, it will also push the hatred between Earth and VEGAN to the point of no return.
In this way, there is no room for peace talks between the Earth Federation and VEGAN, which contradicts Jehart's purpose.
But if it is not carried out, it will be a blatant disobedience to Iselkanda's orders, and if it is not handled well, it will become a traitor to VEGAN, and years of hard work will be ruined.
"Could it be...... Is it time for a showdown with Lord Iselkanda? Or is it ...... Is this your test for me? Lord Iselkanda......"
……
Shifting their gaze to the other side, Yang Hui and his party finally returned to the territory of the Federation after a long submarine voyage and arrived at the colonial satellite Tordia.
"Kio! It's great that you're safe. Romarie hugged Chio tightly, afraid that he would disappear the next second.
SINCE RECEIVING THE NEWS THAT QIAO WAS CAPTURED BY VEGAN, SHE HAS BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT DAY AND NIGHT, AND SHE DOESN'T WANT TO EAT, ALTHOUGH SHE BELIEVES THAT YANG HUI AND THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO SAVE QIAO, BUT AS LONG AS SHE DOESN'T SEE QIAO COME BACK, SHE CAN'T REST ASSURED.
Right now...... The big stone in her heart finally fell.
"I'm sorry, Mom, for worrying you." Chio patted Romarie on the back and comforted.
"You're fine, you're fine......" Romarie let go of Chio and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry, Romarie, but I didn't protect Curiosity." Arthur also apologized to Romarie, who had promised to protect his son, but had broken the appointment because he had gone on another mission.
"Arthur, I don't blame you, Yu Noa told me, you and Uncle Yang Hui went on a more dangerous mission, you just need to be safe."
"...... Romarie"
The husband and wife hugged each other, releasing their worries and venting their thoughts.
The warmth only lasted for a few minutes, and Arthur let go of Romanie and said apologetically: "Sorry, Romanie, I'm going to a military meeting, and there will be a big battle ...... soon."
"Well, go ahead, remember to come back safely."
"Well, I promise you."
After speaking, Artem looked at Qiao again, his expression was very serious: "Qiao, there will be a battle again soon, you ...... Take advantage of this time to think about whether or not you want to continue to fly the Gundam in battle. ”
WHAT CHIO SAW AND HEARD IN VEGAN, ARTEM KNEW IT, HONESTLY...... He also received a little shock, but this shock was not enough to shake his belief that this is war, not a child's game, and only by ending the war as soon as possible can more people be saved.
"I ...... I know...... I'll think about it. Chio replied with his head bowed.
"Well, Romary, Yunoa, Chio please."
After saying that, Artem left, and was about to recapture the Luna base, and as the captain of the [Celestial] Brigade, he must attend.
After Arthur left, Romarie noticed that Chio was not in the right state, pulled him to sit down and asked, "Chio, is something going on?" ”
"Mom...... I ......"
"It's okay, Chio, if you have any doubts, you can tell your mother."
"Mom...... I...... Am I a traitor? ”
