Chapter 220
The course of the war suddenly accelerated in June of CE71, when ZAFT was defeated in the surface battle, and the United Universe Force began preparations for a battle with the main force of the ZAFT fleet and the destruction of PLANT once and for all.
Due to the performance in the early stage of the Orb Raiders, the power of cosmos has been greatly expanded in the combined army, and most of the radical military forces have been directly invested in the command of cosmos. However, the leaders of the United Space Force are still moderate and anti-cosmos factions after all, and all they can do is to organize the pro-cosmos and cosmos forces into a force as much as possible, and use their fanatical anti-adjuster mentality to act as the vanguard of the whole army to "do the dirty work".
Azrael welcomed this – he had long wanted to break free from the confines of the military hierarchy and gain control of his own power...... Known as the "Peacemaker", Azrael's fleet is basically still composed of the old Nelson and Drake-class, with a total of only 55 ships, plus three Agamemnon-class, but its strongest combat power is that the MA above is all equipped with heavy nuclear missiles, which are dedicated to attacking ZAFT's fortresses and PLANT funnel groups.
On July 1st, Chairman Azrael received Orb's unfinished Archangel II, and due to the Archangel's superior combat effectiveness over Nelson and Agamemnon - Drake did not need to mention it at all, so Azrael made the ship, which was completely uninterested in the upper echelons of the Space Force, his flagship, and Captain Bucky Lulu was also distrusted by the upper echelons due to the defection of the Archangel, and was transferred to the captain of the Angel 2, the owner of the ship, as the captain - a position that would normally not be held by a captain......
On July 2nd, Azrael received a second major surprise - the first was the establishment of the independent fleet "Peacemaker", and the Dragon Bird Company of Berfu sent two modified standard Type 2 transports to the "Peacemaker" fleet - which was now to be converted into MA carriers, and with the ship came a note "This is a small gift to congratulate Your Excellency the Chairman on having a worthy voice - the independent fleet." ”
The two transport ships were converted and left without containers. In place of the container is a cube hollow collar that can slide on the keel, the collar is 50 meters long, 100 meters wide, 100 meters high, and 10 meters thick, which can slide back and forth on the 200-meter-long keel, and several other hanging points are strengthened on the keel, which is mounted with the physical advertisement that Bo Fu gave to the chairman this time - a large space war MA. Each of the two ships has a large MA attached, and the cube collar can be used for maintenance and maintenance work - the MA is sleeved inside for maintenance, and when the MA is sent in, the MA is only exposed by sliding the collar and then the hook is detached. There is an MA hardpoint at the front and rear of the ship, and according to the position of the collar at that time, the MA can choose any hardpoint to be mounted by the laser ranging equipment on the keel.
The two transports sent this time each carried a green and an ivory giant MA, "AMX002, Luvi Jero and NZ333, Alpha Vasolon, the Dragon Bird Company has really given something terrifying." Azrael muttered to himself as he looked at the technical data.
Luvi Jero is a large MA in green livery with multiple particle cannons and a dual-purpose combat/shooting robotic arm that can perform remote attacks, a powerful beam spear mounted on the hidden combat robotic arm, and a mirage particle generator on the rear skirt armor, powered by a powerful fusion reactor of more than 90,000 kW, which can perform stealth and beam deflection defense. The powerful propulsion system makes this MA have the maneuverability that is not inferior to that of the small MS and the high-speed performance that is faster than the Drake. The exterior armor made of carbon-tungsten-titanium fiber alloy was able to easily withstand the fire of the ZAFT battleship's particle cannon.
Alpha Vasolon is the ivory-painted MA, a little larger than Luvi Jero, inferior to Luvi Jero in particle cannon firepower, only a heavy particle cannon and multiple small particle cannons, and also has two hidden remote-controlled combat mechanical arms and matching beam spears, but its main armament is the 9 floating cannons on the back skirt armor, the same floating cannon as the Quimantha that Burfu gave to Mitchell, and also has a 40,000KW fusion reactor that can drive the mirage particle generator for stealth and defense, and the mobility is as outstanding as Luvi Jero, the same carbon-tungsten titanium fiber outer armor.
The two MAs were immediately assigned to two of the three small powerhouses by Azrael, and the other one was still driving the Forbidden Gundam developed by themselves.
At this time....... this guy was now on the newly built battleship that had just left the port (the port of the Dragon's Lair Fortress), he sat in the command seat and looked at the universe, "This battleship is really backward! I am starting to miss my lovely Loki........."
New Battleships – The Dogos Chia-class super-heavy battleship (according to the standards in the SEED), the battleship is 510 meters long, 190 meters wide, 140 meters high, and weighs 550,000 tons, with much thicker armor than the Alexandria class, with an average thickness of 12 meters The armor is sandwiched with a special ray absorbing layer, and six fusion reactors provide tremendous power to propel the ship to cruise at a speed comparable to that of the Alexandria-class, and it has three single-mounted 1100mm long-accelerated orbital heavy particle cannons, as well as 10 double-mounted 406mm accelerated particle cannons and 14 single-mounted 155mm particle cannons, 60 35mm artillery integrated electromagnetic gun systems, enough to lay an unbreakable firepower network around the body, MS/small MS/MA/titanium fighter series carries 48/52/64/72 aircraft, with 12 sortie runways. The strongest firepower is a proton beam cannon deployed between the two main hulls in front, which has a longer acceleration trajectory and does not need to be flipped, which has been enhanced in power, range, and rate of fire, which is a qualitative leap over the Alexandria class.
Sitting in the battleship painted purple, Bo Fu looked at the shadow of the lead-gray Loki looming in the trench of the fortress dock outside, "This thing can only be sold to the United States, AI, let's start the renovation of the shipbuilding facility assembly line construction of the Porscher factory." ”
ON JULY 11, THE FULLY ASSEMBLED COMBINED FLEET'S OFFENSIVE AGAINST PLANT ITSELF BEGAN, AND "OPERATION ELVIS" WAS THE CODE NAME FOR THIS OPERATION.
This time, Bo Fu stayed far away in the gravity living area of the Porsche factory to watch the panoramic shooting of the combat footage, outside the living area, the XM series MS piloted by the biological CPUs was training and running-in. The MS provided to these test subjects this time is a non-shrinking model of the XM05.
The XM05A has been changed to an artillery model, and the original spear gun has been replaced with a particle machine gun, which can be adjusted to fire bursts and long-range single shots, while the XM05B is a melee model, and the machine gun has been replaced with a beam spear gun, and the spear gun with two heavy machine guns can be fired, and has the power to destroy the MS in one hit. Both MSs use small nuclear fusion reactors as power, but instead of using a force field propulsion system, they still use an ionization injection system as the power for propulsion and posture change, all of which are electromagnetic coated joints, which far surpass the XM series sold to ZAFT by Bofu in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Gale Fist!" Bo Fu swayed the light wave inspired by the fighting spirit in the independent dojo in the residential area, and he didn't care about what would happen to Elvis in battle, "Anyway, no matter how they fight, they will have to purchase a large number of arms in the end." ”
Elvis had a very smooth early stage of the operation, and under the nuclear bombardment of the "Peacemaker" fleet, he easily swept away the advancing fortress "Boyacs" of the ZAFT, and was about to have a decisive battle with the ZAFT army in the front line of the Yakinduvi fortress.
On July 17, the forwards of both sides began to exchange fire, and the main forces began to enter the battlefield............
