Chapter 368 Matters on Earth

After several days of sailing, the Archangel and the Grass Pheasant arrived safely at the [Heaven's Pillar]. After seeing the scale of the [Heaven's Pillar] and its garrison, Ma Liu and others were amazed.

"This... this is... a fortress?"

"Orb still has such a cosmic fortress?"

"Hey, hey, this is a bit too much."

…

Originally, they thought that what was shown on the mainland was all Orb, but they did not expect that Orb actually had a cosmic fortress like the [Heavenly Pillar], not to mention that this cosmic fortress also had three ships that they had not seen. battleships and a large number of MS troops.

After entering the [Heavenly Pillar], Mina brought people to greet her.

"Long time no see, Mina."

"Haha, you made a scene." Mina mocked Yang Hui as soon as they met. Although she knew that Orb's fall was part of the plan, after all, Orb was her country and it fell. Still very unhappy.

"It's okay. Is there anything happening on Earth that deserves attention these days?"

"A lot did happen."

After instructing her subordinates to take charge of matters related to the Archangel and the Pheasant, Mina led a group of people into the [Heavenly Pillar].

It was just that they were amazed from the outside, and they were even more amazed from the inside. The scale of [Heaven's Pillar] may not be comparable to that of Artemis, Yakin Duwei and other cosmic fortresses, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and military capabilities. All the elements needed for the fortress are present, and there is even a special production workshop for manufacturing warships!

He only took everyone around for a while, until they arrived at the conference room. After everyone sat down, Yang Hui introduced Mina to everyone.

"Mina Sahak, the heir of the Sahak family, one of the five major families, is also our companion..."

"We're just collaborators, we're not that close."

"Mina, arrogance is a disease that needs to be cured."

"Shut up, if you talk nonsense again I will throw you into space!"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

"Pfft~"

Originally, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit heavy, because Mina gave people a serious sense of majesty, which made everyone uncomfortable. However, after Yang Hui interrupted, everyone knew that she was a tsundere, so they were not so serious.

Immediately, Yang Hui introduced Ma Liu and others to Mina. They all got to know each other and started to get down to business.

"There are a lot of things happening on Earth. For example, that idiot Aznael actually wanted to kill prisoners and citizens to vent his anger after Orb surrendered. It's really stupid."

Mina sneered. As a leader, he couldn't stay rational. He would be swallowed up by anger when things went wrong. He also planned to do stupid things like destroying the Great Wall. He was simply seeking death.

But when she received this information, Mina was also frightened into a cold sweat. She could laugh at Murtagh Aznar's stupidity, but she also cared about the soldiers and civilians of Orb. It was really difficult for her. Imagine what kind of hell Orb would have become if Yang Hui and Huang hadn't planned everything in advance and left no chance for Murtagh Aznar.

Mina knew everything, but Maru and the others didn't, so they all stood up with horror on their faces.

"how come!?"

"How could they do such a thing!"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Yang Hui waved his hand to signal them not to be too nervous. He also glared at Mina, dissatisfied with her half-sentence, "We had relocated all the citizens before the war started, and the army was also there. The Orbs left in batches during the battle. The troops left on the front line when we set off were all drones, and the Orbs left behind were just empty shells. "

"Well...you should have told me earlier!"

"Did you do this on purpose? You want to see us make a fool of ourselves!?"

Seeing that everyone suddenly pointed the finger at him, Yang Hui covered his face in depression and raised his hand to point at Mina: "She is responsible for her appetite. Why should you blame me? Besides, you didn't give me a chance to make up for it."

"Uh...ah haha." Everyone found out that this was indeed the case and sat down awkwardly.

Seeing Yang Hui deflated, Mina, who had a cold face, raised the corners of her mouth in a slight arc, but she quickly recovered without anyone noticing.

"There is also Papua New Guinea. At first, the Atlantic Federation did put pressure on Papua New Guinea, but according to our plan, Gaelta led all the troops to declare their separation from the AUB and joined the interim government of Papua New Guinea. Other joining countries Also because they were noticed during the war on the mainland, and the ZAFT army was watching eagerly, the Atlantic Federation was unable to take action against them due to the checks and balances of several parties. "

"Where's the giant floating platform?"

"It has been hidden outside the observation range of the satellite and has not been discovered."

"That's good." In the whole plan, in addition to his own safety, Yang Hui is most worried about the two territories of Papua New Guinea and the Giant Floating Platform. They are the sparks of Orb's new life. If the Atlantic Federation really desperately If they do it, it will be really troublesome.

"Don't worry, that guy Aznar can't do anything to them." Mina seemed to see through Yang Hui's worries and said to him calmly, "In the battle on the mainland, the mobile suit units of the third and fourth fleets were almost defeated. You are all wiped out. This loss may not be a big deal to the Atlantic Federation, but it is not to that guy Aznar. He took the initiative and failed to complete the goal, and also lost so much combat power. He can't protect himself now. "

The Orb offensive and defensive battle caused Murta Aznael to lose face. Not only was he impeached and punished by representatives of the participating countries after the war, but there were also many voices denouncing him within [Blue Cosmos]. , the alliance leader's position is unstable, and he has no experience in continuing to show off his power outside.

"Does that mean the Atlantic Federation is in civil strife? This is really good news." Yang Hui smiled happily. Their main battlefield has moved to the universe, but they are not completely abandoning the earth. And on the earth, Yang Hui is most afraid of The enemy is the Atlantic Federation, and they are also [Blue Cosmos]. They are a group of lunatics. If they really go crazy, they can only fight and cannot be restrained by other means.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation is in civil strife, the threat to the earth has been reduced sharply, and he can concentrate on completing the goals of the universe.

"Well, in addition to these, a big thing happened on Earth. The Earth Army took back Victoria Harbor."

"What?" Ma Liu and others were shocked and stood up again. The Earth Army had just suffered heavy losses in Orb, so why did they attack Victoria Harbor so quickly? ZAFT was heavily guarded there, and it was defeated?

"The main forces are the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republics."

"I see." After hearing this, everyone was relieved. After all, the Earth Federation is still very large, and the Atlantic Federation is not the only powerful member country.

Facing the onslaught of the Earth Army, the ZAFT Army arranged a self-destruction device even though they knew they could not defend it, preventing the Earth Army from retaking the spaceport. As a result, special forces broke in and stopped the self-destruction device just before it was activated, so Victoria Hong Kong is safely back in the hands of the United Earth.

"Ta~ta~ta~" Yang Hui tapped his fingers lightly on the table, analyzing the current situation. The fall of Victoria Harbor was a signal that the Earth Army had turned from defense to offense.

"ZAFT on Earth is not having a good time now. Carpentaria's troops suffered heavy losses after World War I in Alaska, and were then restricted by us. The Gibraltar base also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Panama. The Earth Army's troops The target must be one of these two bases," Yang Hui analyzed.

"Yes, the ZAFT army has begun to shrink its forces during this period. After the fall of Victoria Harbor, ZAFT still has three important strongholds on the earth, namely Carpentaria, Gibraltar and Kaohsiung Port. Now the Earth Army has recaptured Victoria Harbor , the importance of Kaohsiung Port has been reduced, and the Carpentaria Base radiates throughout Oceania, and Gibraltar controls a large area of ​​the Eurasian Federation. I think the Earth Army is more likely to choose the Gibraltar Base," Huang Ye said. Come up with your own ideas.

These two important bases almost occupy the territory of a member country of the Earth Alliance. It is impossible for the Earth Army to leave them alone.

Compared with the two bases, the Gibraltar base is obviously more strategic. The Oceania Federation has ceased to exist in name only. Although the Eurasian Federation has lost a large area of ​​its territory, it is still the top member country in the Earth United and its strength is not weak. Whether it is to appease people's hearts or to enhance one's own strength, recovering the territory of the Eurasian Federation first is the highest priority.

Yang Hui keenly noticed that Aslan, Nigel and Diego had complicated expressions and hesitated to speak, which was funny.

Since I told them all this in front of them, I had no intention of concealing it, and I didn't mind if they tipped off ZAFT, because it was totally meaningless.

Let’s not talk about whether anyone will believe the information they spread. Even if they believe it, so what? ZAFT is now helpless. The troops in the universe are barely enough to defend the mainland, and there are not many troops to come down to Earth to support. Even if the information is obtained in advance, ZAFT has only one option: to evacuate in advance.

But...are they willing?

It must be unwilling to do so. ZAFT's control of the earth relies on the Gibraltar base and the Carpentaria base. Once these two important strongholds are lost, it means that the ZAFT army has lost control of the earth. The remaining Kaohsiung Hong Kong is even more like a fish on the chopping board.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about these things for the time being. We can't interfere in the battle between the Earth Army and the ZAFT Army now. The most important thing is to quickly complete the space adaptability training. There are also new warships that we need to be familiar with." Yang Hui clapped his hands. Said to everyone.

"New battleship?"

"Yes, the new battleship will also be Orb's main ship in the future. The Pheasant will be eliminated and used as an armed transport ship. Let's go and see the finished product together."

The group came to another port, saw the light green battleship staying in it, and understood why the Grass Pheasant was eliminated.
