Chapter 384: A Strange Evacuation
On the outskirts of the L4 colony constets, the Lord Angel retreats and hides in the meteorite swarm, where Marius (Shadow) has an argument with Murtha Aznael.
"It's impossible, Director Aznael! For now, we should ask for reinforcements and wait for reinforcements, or we can retreat for the time being and regroup before restarting the battle, and you ......"
Although Malu and Bucky Lulu are photocopiers who are required to obey the orders of their superiors, it does not mean that they are machines that only obey orders, and they have inherited the memories of Malu and Bucky Lulu's body, so they naturally have some of their abilities and combat experience.
The current situation is very unfavorable for the main angel, with the loss of three cutting-edge MS, and only six of the remaining MS have maintained complete combat strength after simple repairs, and twelve cutting-edge MS can't help the Archangel and Yang Hui, and now there are only six complete combat power left, how can they fight with the Archangel again?
But Murta Aznael doesn't think about this, he just wants to get results quickly, and in his opinion, every minute and second of delay is a waste of life, as for sacrifice...... What does it have to do with him? Anyway, they're just props, including Malu (Shadow) and Bucky Lulu (Shadow) in front of you.
"Alas, you are really stubborn, if you procrastinate like this, won't you waste the opportunity that ZAFT has created for us?" Murta Aznael said to Maliu (Shadow) that he had seen the battles between ZAFT and the White Tiger and the Eternity, and in his opinion this was the best time to attack, and after two battles with them and ZAFT in succession, the other party must be physically and mentally exhausted, and there were losses, if they didn't seize the opportunity to attack from their exhaustion, should they wait until they had finished recuperating and recovered to a perfect state?
“…… I understand your thoughts, Director Aznael, but according to the information we have observed, there is no loss at all in the possession of the Archangel, and the enemy's new warships have also exposed terrible combat effectiveness, and I do not think that the Archangel can be taken with the current effective combat power alone. Ma Lu (Shadow) continued to argue, she inherited Ma Liu's memory, and also inherited the love and trust in Yang Hui, in the eyes of Ma Lu (Shadow), ZAFT's pursuit fleet is indeed huge, if it is the main angel number to face it, it can only temporarily avoid the edge, and flee in a hurry, even if the main angel number of MS is an ace force, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, but it is still difficult to deal with enemies several times their own.
But Yang Hui is different, Ma Lu (Shadow) really believes that Yang Hui has the ability to repel the huge pursuing fleet alone, pay attention, here is talking about a person! Not to mention that Yang Hui not only had powerful warships around him, but also Moment, Kira and others, who were also trump cards, and the ZAFT Army's pursuit fleet could not pose a threat to them at all.
Murtha Aznael was upset when she saw that Maliu was still unwilling to listen to his command, and planned to scold her harshly and force her to accept his command, but at this moment, Bucky Lulu arrived in time to interrupt the argument.
"Captain, I've sent all the records to the crater base, and the superior ordered us to retreat at the opportunity." Bucky Lulu said.
"What did you say!? Fall back? "Murta Bakilulu and Malu (Shadow) were surprised, and Murta Aznael was even angry, because retreat was tantamount to failure, and he failed again, which he did not allow.
So the angry Murta Aznael even rushed up and grabbed Bucky Lulu by the collar and roared and questioned.
"Director Aznael! What are you doing!? ”
"This is an order from the Commander-in-Chief, Director, do you want to disobey?"
Seeing that Murta Aznael was rude to Baki Lulu (Shadow), Maliu did not dare to draw his gun but angrily told him to let go, although his superiors told him to follow Murta Aznael's orders, but in the end he was just a businessman, and he was simply a person in the system, and he had no right to give orders to them.
Before, it was because they were helpless, but now that the order of a higher higher authority has been issued, they naturally no longer have to obey Murta Aznael's orders.
"You guys!" Murta Aznael was speechless, the order of the commander-in-chief of the Lunar Crater Base, he still had to think about it, although he could suppress the other party with his energy within the Atlantic Federation, but this was in wartime, and the other party had higher authority than him, even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't find an excuse.
"Humph!"
Pushing Bucky Lulu away, Murta Aznael reluctantly left the bridge, cursing the word "waste" in his mouth, maybe to Mariu (Shadow) and Bucky Lulu (Shadow), maybe it was the MS pilot he brought, it could be to the high-ranking officers of the Atlantic Federation, or more likely, both.
"Ahem."
"Are you alright? Natal. Maruch (Shadow) asked.
"It's fine." Bucky Lulu (Shadow) shook her head.
"Cut, damn clown." Malu scolded in a low voice, but the bridge was quiet at this time, because no one dared to speak out from the dispute just now, so everyone heard Maru's curse.
However, no one refuted Maru, and all of them agreed with Maru's assessment of Murta Aznael with indignation, and he was indeed a clown.
Obviously he doesn't understand anything, and he has always pretended to be a master, pointing fingers at military affairs, and many times Malu (Shadow)'s orders and Bucky Lulu's (Shadow) advice are the most correct choices, but he always likes to refute and follow his own ideas.
I don't like to treat people other than myself as human beings, in his eyes they are all just tools to earn credit and results for him.
What else do you say "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger", and what "the failure of a businessman also represents death"......
Aren't you yourself on this ship? If everyone dies together, can you run away?
And your confident MS unit was shot down three times in the first sortie, and the rest of the bodies were all damaged to varying degrees, and the most serious ones can be returned to the factory for reconstruction, I really don't know where your honey confidence comes from!?
"Forget it, Captain." Buckilullu doesn't speak for Murta Aznael, she has the same opinion of Murta Aznael as Maliu, she just doesn't want Malu to be harassed by Murta Aznael because she complains.
"......" Malu understood what Bucky Lulu meant, and sighed and gave orders to the others, "Did you hear everything?" The return of the Lord Angel, the course correction, the target, the lunar crater base. ”
"Understood!" XN
Everyone took the order quite positively, after all, no one wanted to die.
……
On the other side, the reconnaissance team found out that the Main Angel was leaving in the direction of the moon, and they were also relieved, the previous report was that the MS unit of the Main Angel was disabled, but it still had a certain combat effectiveness, and the pursuit fleet of ZAFT did not retreat, which can be described as a crisis situation with wolves in front and tigers in the back.
"The Lord Angel has retreated?" After receiving the report, the emperor and the others were first surprised, but within a few seconds, the emperor's expression became very serious.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Lux asked the emperor via video call, and Malu was also online.
"I don't think they're going to retreat so easily." The emperor analyzed, she noticed the strangeness of Maliu (shadow) and Baki Lulu (shadow), and also knew that Murta Aznael was on the main angel number, after Yang Hui reminded her, she included the article of human nature into the scope of analysis, "Murta Aznael is not a person who knows advance and retreat, continuous defeats must make him angry, and his position within the Atlantic Federation is enough to be on par with the commander-in-chief even if he has no military position, he is not allowed to retreat, who would dare?" ”
"What do you mean...... Are they pretending to retreat, but in fact they are hiding somewhere, ready to sneak up on us? Marlu worried.
"This is one possibility, there is another possibility, the commander-in-chief of the lunar base gave the order, and he had to accept it." The emperor said another possibility.
"If that's the case...... It is likely that the situation is already very serious. Lux said.
"What do you mean?" Marliu asked, even if it was the position of captain, she was a duck on the shelf, and slowly grew up in the continuous battles, and she was originally a technician, and she didn't understand the macro situation analysis.
"If the Commander-in-Chief of the Lunar Base gave the order for the Lord Angel to retreat, then ......," the Emperor explained to Maliu, "...... The Atlantic Federation's lunar fleet must have made a big move, the main angel is the second ship of the archangel class, it is definitely the latest and most powerful warship, and the MS on board at the same time are all ace troops, and it is likely that the next operation will need their joining, and the battle plan that needs them to join...... It must be important! ”
As soon as the words fell, the emperor looked at Wang Liumei, who was sitting in the CIC position, Wang Liumei received the emperor's eyes, and immediately took out a special communicator to dial a few garbled codes and send a message.
It stands to reason that Wang Liumei, as a diplomatic and political officer and the person in charge of intelligence, does not need to act with the White Tiger, she can only play the greatest role by staying in a safe area like the [Heavenly Imperial Pillar] and secretly manipulating the intelligence organization while paying attention to the situation in the remaining territory of Orb.
But Wang Liumei insisted on boarding the White Tiger together.
"I'm convinced we can't lose, so I'm safe on the White Tiger and ...... If the White Tiger really fails, something happens to you all, and there is no point in me living alone. ”
This is Wang Liumei's reason, and it is also her consciousness, and no one can refute it.
"The next thing is to wait for news, how much time has passed since Yang Hui entered the colonial satellite?" The emperor asked.
"Half an hour!"
"Half an hour left, the situation of the ships?"
"No problem, the Archangel is ready to set sail at any time."
"The Eternity is also ready, and the supply of supplies has ended."
"Well, wait a little longer......"
"Signals of Dawnbreak, Assault, Rebirth, Covenant detected! They're back! ”
"Receive it now! After receiving it, the whole ship will set sail! Target S28! ”
"Understand...... Wait, the commander-in-chief sent a telegram that Major Fraka was injured and asked the medical squad to prepare to receive! ”
