Chapter 343 Welcome Back
Under the hard ice, several submarines were sailing closely. In the most gorgeous conference room of one of the submarines, two senior Atlantic Federation officials were sitting side by side. In front of each of them was a box full of machinery.
"Is it almost done? Can we start?"
"Yes."
The two of them each took an identical small key from their necks and inserted it in front of them in the keyhole.
"May this sacrifice bring the war to an early end."
"For the pure blue world, 3, 2, 1."
The keys were turned at the same time, and nothing happened at the scene, but Thousands of miles away in Alaska...
...
The Archangel, with the surviving friendly fleet, broke out non-stop from the gap opened by the Angel of Germany for them. Angel and De Angel were guarding around the fleet, with Dawn Gundam and Freedom Gundam at the end, wary of possible pursuers.
But after Yang Hui confirmed the news announced by Kira, although the fighting did not stop directly, it was no longer so fierce. The ZAFT army's offensive momentum slowed down, and enemy planes even continued to return from the breached [Grand Gate].
The Earth Army ignored all this and tried every means to follow the breakout fleet and leave this place of right and wrong.
"Come on, we'll be there soon..."
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Before Ma Liu finished speaking, he received the report.
"Strong energy radiation was observed in the Alaska base, and the [Cyclops System] has been activated!"
"Full power! Evacuate immediately!"
A powerful storm composed of microwaves swept across Everything, machinery, human bodies, and buildings, were destroyed in an instant and turned into dust in the extremely high temperature. The dust was fused together and turned into coke. Violent flames shot up into the sky, and a gorgeous mushroom cloud appeared in the sky. The sky blooms.
"Ah! How could..." The commander of the ZAFT army, who was still hesitating at first, was dumbfounded. He was still hesitating whether to order all the troops to withdraw, but because of his hesitation, he missed the best opportunity. opportunity for retreat.
Without Yang Hui's influence, the ZAFT army would have lost more than 70% of its troops here, but now it has only lost 50%. If he had been more decisive, he would have only lost 20% of his troops at most.
"We were tricked by natural people." Kruse said sadly. On the surface, he was saddened by the heavy losses of friendly forces. In fact, he was also unhappy because Yang Hui's sudden appearance caused his plan to not achieve the expected results.
“A call from the Carpentaria base!”
“What happened again?”
“Orb...Orb launched an attack on the occupied areas of the Oceania Federation Attack! Torres Strait was occupied, Port Moresby and Papua Bay fell, and Orb was marching into Papua New Guinea! "
"What!"
"What happened?"
Even Cruze couldn't stay calm now. He never expected that Orb would take the initiative to enter the game and rob Port Morbiz, Papua Bay and Torres. Strait, this is the only return route for their army!
If they are really taken away by Orb, they have only two options for retreat. One is to return to the Carpentaria base via the territorial waters of the East Asian Republic, and the other is to make a large circle from the Arctic Ocean. Return to base in Gibraltar.
Neither of these two roads is easy to walk, not to mention that they are only a remnant army now, with many wounded and a shortage of supplies.
Now we must find out what happened at the Carpentaria base.
"The message said that at the same time as we started the war, the Orb fleet left the territorial waters and moved towards Papua New Guinea. The troops moved forward in four directions. They deployed the front line in the Torres Strait, stopped operations at Osprey Reef, and directly occupied Mor. At Zibi Port, the last major force landed in the Gulf of Papua."
"Where are the people at the Carpentaria base?" Cruze asked.
“No, the remaining troops at the Carpentaria base were also dispatched, but the enemy lines were too tight. Orb also dispatched MS troops. They were defeated and had no choice but to retreat to Carpentaria. Sub-base."
"Tsk, what a waste!" Kruse cursed. The remaining troops at the Carpentaria base are not many, but they are not small. Orb is so big. With its size, how many troops can it have? To be actually blocked by a small fleet of the opponent's fleet, it means that the opponent has laid out a perfect defensive front before engaging the enemy, and it also means that the opponent has already hit them right under their noses before discovering the opponent's actions. This is not a waste, is it? What! ?
"What should we do now?" the commander asked Cruze. Originally, Cruze was the commander-in-chief of this battle. It was only because Cruze needed to fly a mobile suit that he was asked to act as his agent.
"...Is the fighting over there over?" Cruze asked.
"There is no specific news yet."
"...accommodate the MS troops, the fleet will submerge, and return to the Gibraltar base from the Arctic Ocean."
"But..."
"We have only one way to go, and the East Asian Republics cannot let us go." Cruze is also helpless. It seems that there are two ways to go, but in fact there is only one, and that is to return to Gibraltar from the Arctic Ocean base.
"Yes."
Kruze was originally in a good mood, but now he was in a terrible mood. He returned to his room and took off his mask directly, and slumped down on the chair tiredly.
"You are really difficult to deal with. I didn't expect you to attack so quickly and have such a big appetite! But...hehe, the 'gift' I prepared for the world is not that simple. Yang Hui, let us Let’s wait and see.”
…
Under the leadership of the Archangel, a lot of friendly fleets still remained, but after they were out of danger, they dispersed, Eurasia. The federal troops are returning to their home country, and some of the Atlantic Federation soldiers who were originally abandoned have also left. They still don't believe that they are abandoned, so they have to find a way to return to their home country.
If the Archangel, Dawn Gundam and other MS hadn't saved them, they might have shot directly.
The Archangel took in the few people left who were completely desperate for the higher-ups, and found a small island not far away and stopped. Firstly, they had to decide what to do in the future, and secondly, they I also want to meet Kira and Yang Hui.
"Yang Hui!"
After seeing Yang Hui, Ma Liu and Baji Lulu finally couldn't bear it anymore. They didn't care about the other people present and threw themselves into his arms to cry. "Why...why is this..."
Malu and Baji Lulu were completely disillusioned with Atlantic's senior management. They were able to find excuses to convince themselves of everything that had happened before, but this time's betrayal and abandonment completely eliminated the last trace of trust in their hearts.
They once regarded it as a military uniform of faith, but wearing it has been tingling their skin and hurting their hearts.
"Oh, it's okay, it's all over." Yang Hui gently hugged Ma Liu and Baji Lulu and comforted them. He had always told them that the top leaders of the Atlantic Federation were not trustworthy. They are a bunch of bastards, but they don't believe it. Now they have discovered the cruelty of reality, their previous faith has collapsed, and Yang Hui doesn't know how to comfort them.
"Yang Hui..."
"Follow me to Orb."
"...Yeah."
After Ma Liu and Baji Lulu agreed, Yang Hui looked at Mu and others again.
"Come together, follow me to Orb, the Atlantic Federation can no longer accommodate you."
"..." Everyone gritted their teeth and lowered their heads. Of course, they knew that they could not return to the Atlantic Ocean. Federation, even if they are abandoned, their identity is still soldiers. They violated the orders of their superiors and evacuated the battlefield privately. This is a violation of military orders.
Even smarter people have thought that they are already dead in the list of the Atlantic Federation. It is impossible for the top management to allow the truth to be exposed, and they will face execution if they go back.
Orb is undoubtedly a good place to go. The peace of neutral countries makes them reluctant to leave. Moreover, the senior officer of the Orb military is Yang Hui. Yang Hui will not use them as abandoned sons like the senior leaders of the Atlantic Federation.
But...except for Mirialia, Sai and Kaz, everyone else, like Mariu and Bajilu, wears military uniforms as their belief, and now...even if it is shattered It doesn't mean that they have completely disappeared. For them to be regarded as traitors is difficult to accept for a while.
Not getting an answer from everyone, Yang Hui did not worry, but looked in another direction, where the Freedom Gundam was parked, and Kira, wearing a ZAFT pilot suit, came over.
"Yang Hui, everyone..."
"Welcome back, Kira."
"Well, thank you, Yang Hui. I received your gift, although I can't say I like it."
"Kira, it's really you!"
Ma Liu and others saw Kira Still alive, even face to face, it was hard to accept for a while.
"Long time no see, captain, lieutenant, major, and everyone." He smiled at everyone.
“Kira!” After coming back to his senses and confirming that this was the real Kira, everyone threw themselves over and surrounded him. The joy of reunion diluted the sadness and anger, and Fleur even rushed in He cried loudly into Kira's arms.
"Fulei, I'm back."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu He also saw many things clearly, including the twisted emotions between him and Fleur. He was sure that he fell in love with Fleur, even just a little bit. Now that they were reunited again, he could no longer turn a blind eye. Yang Hui was right, he was a man He had to take responsibility to the end. As for whether Fleur's love for him was still twisted, he didn't care. Even if it was twisted, he would help Fleur turn it around.
“You kid!”
“Why are you here?”
"You...you are really...not a ghost, are you?"
"Well, no." Kira responded to everyone, and then traveled through human rights and came to Sai. It was a little complicated at first, but soon It will become clear soon.
"Sai, I'm sorry..."
"You bastard!" Sai punched Kira with tears in his eyes, "But it's great that you are still alive... "
"Well, I'm sorry for making you worry." Kira was not angry, but smiled happily, because he knew that Sai was really worried about him, and Sai also let go. He cares more about Kira's safety than the complicated relationship between the three.
"Did you go to ZAFT?" Mu asked.
"Yes, but I am not ZAFT, and I am not the Earth Army."
"Huh?"
"I understand." Malu and Bucky Lulu left Yang Hui's arms. There were indeed many things that needed to be discussed between them and Kira. As for Kira's statement that she was neither ZAFT nor the Earth Army, no one had any other ideas. After all, they were the same now. situation.
"Where is that machine? What should we do?" Malu asked, since Kira came back and met them, they must act together in a short time.
"If you mean maintenance and supplies, then it's not needed yet. That aircraft is equipped with an anti-neutron jammer."
"Anti-neutron jammer? In other words...nuclear power drive!"
"If you want to retrieve its data, then I will refuse this request and leave here. If you want to rob it, I will protect it even if I am your enemy."
"Kira..."
"You..."
Malu and others looked at Kira in disbelief, not because of Kira's words, but because of Kira's eyes and attitude. They had never seen such a firm look on Kira's body.
"This also includes you, Yang Hui."
"Pfft~ Hahahaha..." Sensing Kira's hostility, Yang Hui and Lyle couldn't help laughing. Setsuna and Tieria, whose expressions had always been cold, could not help but raise the corners of their mouths.
