Chapter 529 Zeon’s next move

The war between the Earth Federation and Zeon, the Middle East Front on the Earth battlefield, ended with the Federation's overall victory.

This result not only horrified Zeon, but even the top leaders of the Federation were in disbelief. Especially after receiving the information that a force composed of nine MSs had determined the entire battle situation, it was even more astonishing. Even Zeon, who relied most on MSs, Weng also thought this was a fantasy.

"What's going on?" Kilian Zabi, who was far away in SIDE-3, called the heads of the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department, severely reprimanded them, and asked them what was going on and why they didn't do anything before. any intelligence and response measures.

The oil resources in the Middle East are too important to the Principality of Zeon. The fossil fuels and funds needed for the later war need to be obtained from the Middle East. Now that the Middle East front has been completely defeated, Kilian Zabi's earth invasion plan has encountered a major challenge. frustration.

Moreover, since the mobile suit's debut, whether it was the battle to hunt down Dr. Minovsky, or the Weekly War and the Battle of Rum, the Zeon army has been unstoppable, winning all battles, with high morale, and is ready to occupy the treasure house of Earth in one go. .

As a result...the first battle was lost, and the inevitable victory on the Middle East front was completely defeated. As a result, the blitzkrieg plan failed, and morale was almost depressed to the freezing point.

If it weren't for the current unrest among Zeon's people, Kilian Zabi would not hesitate to give the two of them a peanut and go underground to bury the soldiers who died in the battle.

"I have received information before. After the Battle of Rum, the Federation saw the power of mobile suits. Admiral Gopp unanimously implemented the mobile suit development plan called [Plan V]..." The person in charge of the intelligence department lowered his head and reported. road.

"Don't talk nonsense about what I know, tell me something I don't know!" Kilian Zabi knew this information, but he didn't care about it so much at first. The Federation was already lagging behind Zeon in the development of mobile suits. Falling behind step by step, Kilian Zabi is confident that before the Federation establishes its own mobile suit force, he can complete his Earth invasion plan, seize more than half of the Earth's territory, and fill Zeon's fatal resource shortage gap.

Therefore, he did not strictly order the Intelligence Department to thoroughly investigate [Project V]. Instead, he handed it over to Dozlu Zabi and asked him to arrange people to investigate and destroy it.

As a result... the fact was like a hand, slapping him hard in the face. The Federation was lagging behind the mobile suits developed by Zeon. Just nine units could determine the victory or defeat of a large-scale battle line. If the Federation could do it Mass production, what else can Zeon do?

"Yes... after you handed over the investigation task to Lieutenant General Dozulu, the Lieutenant General sent an investigation team headed by Major Char Aznable of [Red Comet]. After many investigations, it was determined that [V Plan] has been integrated with the previously shelved [SCV-X] plan, renamed [V-X Plan], and the location is determined to be Luna 2..."

"Now that it's been determined, why not send someone to destroy it?"

"Yes... you are against..."

"Um?"

"Uh..." The person in charge of the Intelligence Department wiped his cold sweat and lowered his head even further.

It's really not his fault. When Char sent this information back to Zeon and applied for support, Dozru Zabi personally found Kilian Zabi and asked him to allow him to take the universe with him. The fleet went to destroy the remaining federal space forces on Luna 2 and at the same time disrupt the progress of the [V-X Project].

But Kilian Zabi rejected it outright, because he was more concerned about the upcoming Earth invasion plan. Compared with plans such as the [V-X Plan] that lagged behind them, the first landing operation was undoubtedly much more important.

In fact, Kilian Zabi's decision was also correct. No one could say how long or how many troops it would take to capture Luna 2. Once it failed, the Federation would get a chance to breathe, and the [V-X] plan would have another chance. That’s done. The Federation already had its own MS troops before Zeon started the descent operation. So wouldn’t the descent operation take the initiative to provide meat fillings for dumpling wrappers?

Who knew... a monster like Yang Hui not only successfully developed a new MS in a very short period of time, but was also so powerful.

Kilian Zabi looked at the head of the staff department again. The problem had already occurred. He valued response measures more than accountability.

"What does the General Staff think of this force?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." The person in charge of the staff department was obviously well-prepared, and he also produced a lot of analysis materials when describing, "First of all, according to the technical consultants of MIP Company of Zeonik Company and Zmade Company, According to joint analysis, the performance of the Federation's mobile suits is better than that of the Zaku II in all aspects, including the beam rifle with the power of a naval gun mentioned by Major Char in the intelligence, as well as high-power energy weapons, with excellent mobility, attack power, and defense power. It is even better than the Zaku II. At the same time, they judge that the armor of these MSs are all Gundam alloy α, so they judge that the cost of these MSs must be very high and they cannot be mass-produced.”

"Well, continue."

"This is the result of the technical department's analysis of the MS itself. Although these MS are better than the Zaku II, they cannot be mass-produced and do not pose much of a threat to us. The real threat lies in the pilots who fly them. "

"engineer?"

"Yes, pilot, you know, Commander, the better the performance of the machine, the more it tests the ability of the pilot. An ace pilot can bring out 100% or even 200% of the performance of the machine, and then..." In the report, he called up several video records that survived the Middle East front, "... These are the only few video records, Commander, please take a look."

"Hmm..."

These videos are partly the second squad led by Travis showing the implementation of guerrilla tactics and supporting friendly battlefields, and partly the video records of the first squad, most of which are Yang Hui's No. 1 machine, but others have also appeared.

If the others only surprised Gihren Zabi that the Federation actually had such an excellent MS pilot, then Yang Hui's performance was a shock to Gihren Zabi.

"Who is the pilot of this machine?" Gihren Zabi pointed at Yang Hui's No. 1 machine and asked.

"I don't know. I only know that this MS team belongs to the 12th Independent Technical Unit, which is directly under Rebil. We have the list of researchers of the original [V Project] and [SCV-X Project], but we haven't found the list of pilots yet." The head of the intelligence department answered at the right time.

"Check! The identity of this person must be checked!"

"Yes, sir."

"And then?" Gihren Zabi looked at the head of the staff department again.

"So we have two judgments about this unit: extremely dangerous, but not fatal."

"Well... continue."

"There are two points of extreme danger. One is the combat effectiveness it has shown. Only nine MS can reverse the victory or defeat of the Middle East front, so other fronts are also facing the same threat. Moreover, if it has the opportunity to expand, it will become fatal to us.

And the judgment that it is not fatal... after all, they only have nine MS. Even if we don't have air superiority on Earth now, the transportation of MS on Earth is still a huge problem. With the [Midya] transport plane, we only need to extend the front line and delay their support speed. End the battle before they arrive at the war zone, then they will be useless."

"Tick-tick-tick-tick..." After listening to the answer given by the staff, Gihren Zabi tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, thinking about the next strategy.

"Tell Kycilia that I want to hear the news of the fall of Odessa within three days."

"Yes."

"And Zeonic, Zmade and MIP, since Zaku II can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield, we can start a new round of MS competition."

"Yes."

"And you." As he said, Gihren Zabi looked at the head of the Intelligence Department with a stern look, "Investigate all the people in this unit for me, and then..."

"Yes!" He knew what to do without saying it clearly. War is dirty, and many times, dirty means are more direct and effective.

"Well..." After thinking for a while, he asked his secretary, "How is the preparation of the second batch of airborne troops?"

"It's ready and can start at any time."

"Order Dozle to immediately launch the second landing operation, targeting the North American continent."

"Yes."

...

On the other side, after the Federation won a comprehensive victory on the Middle East front, Rebil personally went to the Middle East front and attended the celebration banquet. Yang Hui and his team's contribution this time was so great that some people above were planning to have crooked ideas.

Isn't it? As soon as he got off the plane, Rebil heard that Yang Hui almost killed a whole brigade of military police.

"You stinky boy, can't you be more obedient?" Rebil scolded angrily.

"It's not my fault, General Rebil, you can't not fight back, right?"

"But you've gone too far." The military police who came this time didn't actually plan to do anything to Yang Hui and the others, they just took them away temporarily, and then let the people above take the credit and release them.

This kind of termite can be driven away by simply using Rebil's name, but Yang Hui didn't use Rebil's name, and did it himself. Several Gundam Astrays were directly activated, and the Vulcan cannon, beam rifle, Gatling Vulcan cannon, and rocket launcher were aimed at them from a high position, which scared them so much that they almost wet their pants, and they fled in a hurry before Yang Hui raised his hand and fell.

This is really not to scare them. If this group of people don't know what's good for them, Yang Hui will really kill them. There is no need to talk about how notorious the Federal Political Department and the Military Police are.

Therefore, the friendly troops were not frightened by Yang Hui, but applauded.

"This is a problem that you and General Gepu need to worry about. General Rebir, since you haven't done it well, I can only do it for you." Yang Hui shrugged and said.

"Okay, I already know who is behind, and this time I have the opportunity to clean up a group of people."

"That's good, otherwise next time there are such blind people who come to trouble me, I might really do it for you."
