Two weeks later, the combat conference room of the 12th Independent Technical Corps was not fully assembled, but the leaders of each group and the test pilots gathered.

After Yang Hui submitted the drawings of the M1 heretical production model to the Military Committee for approval and approval, the research team of [Project V] was split into several groups, corresponding to the development of armed backpacks corresponding to the universe, sky, forest, desert and other environments, and Tim Ray was responsible for controlling the overall situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a week ago, the mass accelerator on the surface of the moon launched countless small rocks bombardment on important military points on the earth, although the fleet of Luna-2 successfully stopped it, it also caused huge casualties and damage to military bases on the ground, and at the same time bought precious time for the airborne troops, the first Zeon space forces have successfully landed in Central Asia and occupied a large area in Baikonur and the surrounding area, you should know what this means."

Everyone's expressions were solemn, Baikonur is a very important military point, from the Caspian Sea up to Europe to Odessa, a major mineral resource, and from the Caspian Sea to the south is the Middle East, where oil resources are concentrated.

Once these two places are occupied by the Zeon Army, it will be able to fill the two major deficiencies of the Zeon Army in a short period of time.

"So, our order has come, and General Rebier has ordered us to go to Earth and support the Middle East front."

"Ask!" After Yang Hui finished speaking, he was silent for two or three seconds, and after making sure that there was no follow-up, Furt Romphilo raised it, and he knew that it was time to enter the question session.

"Say."

"Why the Middle East and not Odessa?" Furt Romphilo asked many questions from many people present, and everyone could see that Odessa is much more important than the Middle East, oil resources are still the most important strategy, and vehicles, such as cars, warplanes, boats, and submarines, still use fossil fuels.

But the underground of Odessa, however, is rich in mineral resources, and these mineral resources contain rare metals necessary for the manufacture of MS, which is the basis and core of the expansion of armaments for the Zeon Army, which is short of materials, once Odessa is occupied, then the number of MS of the Zeon Army may double, and the threat will be greater.

So, they all felt that they should be sent to support the defense line in Odessa, and not in the Middle East.

"One, the Middle East is as important as Odessa, without the Middle East, East Asia and Africa will be directly exposed to Zeon's attack range, General Rebir believes that even if Zeon has Odessa, it will not be able to expand the size of the MS force in a short time, after all, no matter how powerful the MS is, it also needs people to drive, and large-scale manufacturing takes time, and the oil resources of the Middle East can be immediately converted into combat power, as well as money.

Second, the Federation has begun to build up the M1 Anomaly (a castrated version of the M1 heresy), and the main strategic goal now is to hold back the Zeon Army and consume them.

Three......"

Speaking of this, Yang Hui paused, with a playful but cold smile on his face: "The military top brass thinks that we are not many in number, so don't go to Odessa to drag the back of the elite troops." ”

"Bang!"

"Those damn bastards!"

"Is this looking down on us!?"

"Humph! If you have a chance, you must kill these bed bugs! ”

The faces of the 7 people in the MS team were ugly, the young people all thought that they were underestimated, but they were angry and unwilling, and the older people knew that there must be political struggles mixed with this, and the enemies were all fighting at the doorstep, and they were still engaged in infighting, which made them angry at the same time, but also more disappointed in the Federation.

"That's it!" A loud shout interrupted everyone's righteous indignation, "We don't have any records, and it is inevitable to be underestimated, so in this battle, I have two requirements, first, everyone wipe their eyes for me, don't die on the battlefield!" ”

"Of course!"

"Training isn't for nothing!"

"Major, I don't think everyone plans to be martyrs, let's just talk about the second point!"

"Okay, the second point is ......" At this time, Yang Hui paused again, his expression was bloodthirsty, and his smile was hideous, "...... Slaughtered Zeon's offal with pleasure. ”

"Understood!" XN

Tim Ray and other people in the research team admired Yang Hui's methods in their hearts, whether it was the contempt from above or the stimulation of orders, which greatly stimulated the competitiveness and morale of the pilots, and when they went to the battlefield, this unit would burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness.

"Director Lei."

"Major."

"What is the current progress of the armed backpack?"

"The equipment for cosmic use, ground warfare, desert warfare and jungle warfare has been manufactured, except for the armed backpack for cosmic use, the others have not yet been tested on the actual machine, and the equipment progress of water warfare and sky station is 70%."

"Hmm...... The whole machine is equipped with a space backpack, and a set of equipment for ground warfare, desert warfare, and jungle warfare is prepared to accompany it. ”

"It's too dangerous, Major, there's no equipment to experiment with on the battlefield or something...... Tim Ray knew that Yang Hui planned to experiment with the new equipment on the battlefield.

"No problem, I always pay attention to the R&D process, there will be no problems, at most subtle debugging, the accompanying maintenance engineer can solve it."

"But ......"

"Execute the order, Director Lei."

“…… Understand. ”

"Disband, prepare separately, and depart on time tomorrow at 0600 Earth time."

"Yes!" XN

The crowd dispersed, the pilots were excited, they might not be able to sleep tonight, and the technical team leaders were worried, they were confident in the equipment they had developed, but they were going to fight before it had been tested, and they were worried that if they caused the casualties of their comrades because of the defects in the equipment they made, they would not forgive themselves for the rest of their lives.

"Major, I think it's still ......" Tim Ray tried to persuade him, but Yang Hui raised his hand to interrupt him and said something that touched him greatly.

"I trust you, Director Lei."

“…… It's not a question of trust or distrust. Although moved to tears, Tim Ray held back his tears, "We have confidence in these equipment, but we shouldn't use the lives of pilots to verify it." ”

"Don't get excited, Tim."

"How could I not be excited!? It's a matter of human life! ”

"Okay, calm down, I promise you, after arriving on Earth, I will test the performance in the rear first, and then go to the battlefield if I think it's okay, okay?" Yang Hui knows that if he doesn't compromise, Tim Ray will not let him go, Tim Ray is sometimes very talkative, and can even be said to be cowardly, but in the face of the things he cares about, he is very stubborn.

“…… I'll go with you. Tim Ray decided.

"No, although there are combat missions, the development tasks cannot be stopped, especially the backpacks for water and air must be completed as soon as possible." Yang Hui said seriously, "Zeon has begun to use the special MS in the water, and has caused huge losses to the naval fleet and coastal cities, and the Federation must also have the MS force in the water as soon as possible; The air forces are ahead of the curve, and now Zeon does not yet have an air-ready MS in the atmosphere, and once we succeed first, we will be able to firmly control the air supremacy in our own hands. ”

“…… But I'm not at ease......"

"Don't worry, Tim, you should know what I'm capable of."

"......" Tim Ray was silent, although Yang Hui had not said it explicitly, but from this period of contact, Tim Ray also guessed that Yang Hui was the scientist who developed the new technologies of M1 heresy and [Kirin-class].

"Stay safe." A thousand words stuck in the throat and unspeakable, and finally merged into one of the simplest and most sincere blessings.

"Don't worry, everyone has worked hard during this time, tell everyone, after the task at hand is completed, I will give you two weeks of vacation, and you will all go home to accompany your family."

“…… Understand. ”

"Go ahead."

……

Since the [Kirin-class] has not yet been built, and the 12th Independent Technical Force does not yet have its own warships, Thiam transferred four Columbus-class transport ships from the Second Fleet to transport eight MSs, and then two Maizeron-class heavy cruisers and six Samiras-class light cruisers as escorts to the Earth's orbit, and then descend from space and directly arrive at the Middle East battlefield.

However, leaving the defensive range of Luna 2, Zeon was spotted.

"Lieutenant Colonel Warken, the concentration of Minovsky particles rises, the radar detects enemy ships, the database compares...... One of the Msey-class! 1000 km away! ”

"Hmm...... There is something about this technical unit, the new radar works. "Walken is not yet the commander of the Luna 2, and he is only a captain of Thiam's fleet until the Federation Cosmos Force is back in size and can go head-to-head with the Zeon fleet, and he is in charge of the convoy this time.

In the beginning, Hua Ken, like most Federation officers, did not like the 12th Independent Technical Unit, partly because of the reputation of Commander Yang Hui, and on the other hand, because the autonomy of this unit was too high and irritating.

However, after the 12th Independent Technical Unit completed the Heresy Gundam (an unabated version that uses Gundam Nimes α) and retooled the fleet's warships, it began to change.

"There is only one battleship...... Scout troops? Or a special unit that performs tasks independently......"

"Lieutenant Colonel, what shall we do?"

"Did they find out about us?"

"Predicting the route of the opposing warship, it shouldn't be yet."

"Turn the main gun, lock on to the enemy's Msai class, accelerate forward, don't startle the snake."

It stands to reason that the convoy fleet has eight warships, just one Msey-class, which is not enough for them to stuff their teeth, even if Zeon has MS troops, in front of the updated fleet, don't want to please, and they also have MS, but they have not yet verified their combat effectiveness.

However, Walken was ordered to safely escort the men of the 12th Independent Technical Unit to the designated coordinates and then carry out airborne operations, so in order not to affect the mission, Walken decided not to fire for the sake of safety.

"Let's hope it's safe......"
