Chapter 555: Killed, targeted
The 12th Independent Technical Unit finally arrived in the East Asian Theater of Operations after passing through the layers of blockade at Zeon, and was warmly welcomed upon its arrival.
"Thank you for coming, Major Yang Hui." The commander in charge of the East Asian theater is Colonel Ethan Lea, who is Rebil's opposition, but he is not a member of the conservative faction, he is just arrogant and dissatisfied with Rebier, he has always believed that the fiasco of the Battle of Rum has nothing to do with Rebier, but Rebir can still become the general of the federal army after returning to the Federation, which makes him resentful.
Ethan Leia speaks in a light and gentle tone, and at first glance he thinks he is a friendly person, usually used to closing his eyes and resting his eyes, not squinting.
However, Yang Hui knew that Ethan Leia was actually an unscrupulous figure in order to achieve victory, and when he discovered the enemy military base but could not find the entrance, Ethan Leia considered razing the entire mountain to the ground, intending to deliberately trigger an MS nuclear explosion to cause damage to the enemy base. When the Jeans demanded a truce to launch the ship with civilians into space, Ethan Leia sent a sniper Jim to shoot it down.
So......
"As a soldier, of course, orders come first, Colonel Leia." Yang Hui politely stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
"It's all old foxes, well, forget it, I'll play with you." But I thought so in my heart.
"The major has come from afar, and I have prepared a reception banquet for you, together?"
"That's a thank you, Colonel Leia, but ......"
Seeing Yang Hui speak, Ethan Leia's eyes froze, but he quickly returned to his approachable state.
ββ¦β¦ And don't forget the real-time battle report, otherwise I won't be able to make a battle plan. Yang Hui continued.
"Haha, this is natural, Major Yang Hui, the report will be sent to you later, as well as my tactical arrangements, but for now, I also invite the major and the heroes to enjoy the reception banquet."
"No, Colonel Leia, every Union soldier who fights is a hero."
"Well, that's right, please."
"Please."
It can be seen that Ethan Leia has put a lot of effort into this reception banquet, and the specifications are definitely the highest level, and there are not only officers at all levels in the East Asian Theater present, but also celebrities, senior government officials, and so on.
During the introduction, Ethan Lea specially introduced the situation of Yang Hui and others, so that everyone present knew the glorious deeds of the 12th Independent Technical Unit, and was regarded as a hero in an instant.
But...... Heroes attract respect and adoration, which naturally induces envy and jealousy.
"Major, has our intelligence been lifted?" Amuro asked, as an assistant, he was the only one who followed Yang Hui to participate in this reception banquet, and after welcoming many people, Yang Hui took him to rest in the corner on the side.
"Well, the intelligence department of the Federation has found out, and our intelligence has been found by Zeon, since we can't hide it, we simply disclose all the previous information to boost the morale of the war zones."
"I see, the previous ......"
"Hmm."
"But I always felt ...... Something is wrong with this Colonel Leia. Amuro said.
"Huh? Tell me about it? What's wrong? Yang Hui asked Amuro with great interest to see what answer he could get, and this answer also determined when Amuro would be able to get rid of his status as an assistant.
"I can't tell, it's just a feeling."
Well, it's still naΓ―ve to expect a sixteen-year-old to see through the old fox's machinations.
"Well, we may not have a good time during this time." Yang Hui sighed.
"Major, what's wrong?" Amuro wondered.
"This old fox is killing us now." Yang Hui shook his wine glass and let the crystal clear wine spin, "Amuro, you can look at the eyes of your colleagues first." β
"Huh?" Amuro was stunned for a moment, looked around, and realized that something was wrong, "Are they hostile to us?" Why? β
That's right, at the beginning of the reception banquet, the officers present were still well disguised, boasting about "the future of becoming a major at a young age is terrible", "The Federation also has MS troops, and it is decided to win", and look at the present?
He didn't pretend anymore, and directly showed a hostile gaze, looking at Yang Hui and Amuro as if he was looking at a mortal enemy.
"Cutting off people's wealth is tantamount to killing their parents." Yang Hui explained, "What do soldiers rely on to get promoted and make a fortune? Credit, with our ability...... How much more credit do they get? β
"But...... It's at war now! Amro asked, puzzled, "Wouldn't the war have ended earlier, and fewer people would have died?" β
"Well, this is the world of adults, Amuro." Yang Hui took a sip of red wine and said to Amuro.
"I ...... I don't understand......"
"It's best if the child doesn't understand." Yang Hui touched Amuro's head and comforted, "When you understand all this, you will enter the world of adults, and your current life will be gone forever." β
"Major ......"
"By the way, there's a second point."
"The second point?"
"What I just said, kill." Yang Hui quietly pointed to the rich businessmen and celebrities present and explained to Amuro, "Rich businessmen and celebrities don't care who the credit is, they only care about who has the ability to protect their interests, we have been blown to the sky by Colonel Leia, they are naturally more eager for our protection." β
"We can do it."
"But what if it doesn't?"
"How is that possible? Major, you mean we...... Will you lose? β
"That's impossible, I haven't paid attention to that group of little deflated three in Zeon."
"How could it not have been done?"
"For example...... Leave us in the rear, don't give us a chance to go to war, how high we stand now, how hard we will fall then, and they ...... We will stand where we should belong. β
"How so?"
"Look, Amuro, the battle situation sent by Colonel Lea must be in a good situation, so good that we don't need to interfere, and the deployment doesn't leave us any empty seats."
Yang Hui's guess was quickly verified, just after the reception banquet, Yang Hui took Amuro back to the arranged station, and found that it was at least 50 kilometers away from the front line, even if it was to support the front line, it would not be able to catch up for a while, at the same time, Amuro looked at the battle report in his hand, and sure enough, as Yang Hui predicted, the situation was very good, and Zeon, who had never attacked from the protocol, could not cross the first line of defense at all, and there was no need for the Twelfth Independent Technical Force to make a move.
"Major, this kind of battle situation ...... Is it true? Amuro asked.
"Of course it's true, even if Leia and Rebir don't deal with each other again, they won't joke about the war report, otherwise they will have to go to court-martial." Yang Hui said flatly.
"Then why did General Reybir transfer us? We don't need us here, do we? Amuro wondered, the battlefield that the 12th Independent Technical Unit was going to must be a very severe battlefield, and the battle situation was not critical, so should they be sent as spectators?
"Amuro, do you know what the truest lie in the world is?"
"What is it?"
"The contents of the lies are all true......"
"Huh?"
ββ¦β¦ But only half of that. β
"Uh...... Major, I don't understand what you mean. Amuro humbly asked.
"The reason why the first line of defense is solid, it is deliberate by Zeon, they didn't show their real skills at all, you look at this battle report, in addition to sending the MS in the water to harass the patrolling navy from time to time, the air formation went to the front line to fight the autumn wind, and the large-scale attack was only done at the beginning, otherwise how could it be possible to retreat with only a bunch of Dopp fighters and Magella chariots, and the MS did not lose even one."
"Major means ......"
"Australia has been completely occupied by Zeon, and when it is stabilized, the Australian army will move north, join up with the non-protocol army, and tear apart the defense line of the East Asian theater with a devastating force...... Huh? Why are you going? Yang Hui found that Amuro turned around and ran without saying a word, and grabbed him.
"Tell Colonel Leia to get him ready!"
"Who believes? What about the evidence? They don't deal with us. β
"Uh...... But you can't just watch it, right? β
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements in advance, we're General Rebil's direct troops, don't care about Leia's orders and deployment."
"Then I'll be relieved." Amuro breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, although it is only analysis and speculation...... But this tactical arrangement...... It feels like it's aimed at us. Yang Hui said with a frown.
"Huh? Is it? Amuro thought for a moment and figured out the key, "That's right! If you just want to break through the defense line of the Federation and attack directly, you don't need to wait for Australian reinforcements, and the non-protocol and Australia's main forces converge, even we are difficult to deal with, and the operation of a large group army is the biggest natural enemy for a small-scale ace force like ours. β
"Yes, that's what I thought." Yang Hui nodded in agreement with satisfaction and asked, "Then tell me, our mission is still confidential, how could the enemy know that we have come to the East Asian Theater and plan in advance?" β
"Hmm...... The news of our departure from the North Mi Theater is not a secret, Zeon has three targets for the third mission, namely South Africa, Australia and Non-Protocol, the war between South Africa and Australia quickly subsided, and the only place where there will be a major war is the East Asian Theater of Operations, which is adjacent to the non-protocol. β
"Yes, there is progress, it deserves praise." Yang Hui praised Amuro, his growth rate is really fast, it has only been a long time, he has grown from a teenager who doesn't know anything to a certain tactical vision, and his driving skills are not weak, "and...... I'm sure Kycilia Zabi is in non-protocol right now. β
"Kycilia Zabi!"
"Yes, we are old rivals in North Mi, this time...... We'll have to change our tactics, or we're going to capsize, Amuro. β
"In!"
"Let's have a good rest tonight, and starting tomorrow, everyone will start to get acquainted with the special backpack for water and the backpack for air combat."
"Understood!" Amuro immediately ran out to give the order.
"Hehe, old purple woman, I won't play curveball this time, how are you going to catch the straight ball?" Yang Hui smiled sadly.
