Chapter 520 The order came
Two weeks later, in the combat conference room of the 12th Independent Technical Force, not all members were present, but the leaders and test pilots of each group gathered.
After Yang Hui submitted the drawings of the M1 Heretic mass production model to the Military Commission for approval and approval, the [V Plan] research team was split into several groups, corresponding to the universe, sky, forest, Develop corresponding armed backpacks for desert and other environments, and Tim Ray is responsible for controlling the overall situation.
“Everyone, a week ago, the mass accelerator on the moon launched countless small rock blocks to bombard important military locations on the earth. Although the Luna 2 fleet successfully stopped it, it also caused damage to the military bases on the ground. It caused huge casualties and damage, and also bought precious time for the airborne troops. The first batch of Zeon space troops have successfully landed in Central Asia and occupied Baikonur and a large area around it. You should You know what this means.”
Everyone looked solemn. Baikonur is a very important military location. It goes from the Caspian Sea up to Odessa, the powerhouse of mineral resources in Europe, and from the Caspian Sea to the south. Next is the Middle East, where oil resources are concentrated.
Once these two places are occupied by the Zeon Army, the two major shortcomings of the Zeon Army can be filled in a short period of time.
"So, our order has come. General Ray Bill ordered us to go to Earth and support the Middle East front."
"Question!" After Yang Hui finished speaking, there was silence for two or three seconds. , after confirming that there was nothing to follow, Fort Romfilo raised the time, and he knew that now it was time to enter the question period.
"Say."
"Why the Middle East and not Odessa?" Fort Romfilo asked a question that many people present, and everyone could see that Odessa Desaco is much more important than the Middle East. Petroleum resources are still the most important strategy. Vehicles such as cars, fighter planes, ships, and submarines still use fossil fuels.
But the underground of Odessa is rich in mineral resources, and these mineral resources include rare metals necessary for manufacturing mobile suits. For the Zeon army, which is short of materials, it is the basis and core for expanding its armaments. If Odessa is occupied, the Zeon army's mobile suit numbers may double, and the threat will become even greater.
So, they all felt that they should be sent to support Odessa's defense line, not the Middle East.
"First, the Middle East is as important as Odessa. Without the Middle East, East Asia and Africa will be directly exposed to Zeon's attack range. General Rebil believes that even if Zeon has Odessa, it will not be able to Expanding the size of the MS force in a short period of time, after all, no matter how powerful the MS is, it still needs people to pilot it, and large-scale manufacturing also takes time, and the oil resources in the Middle East can be immediately converted into combat power and money.
< br>Second, the Federation has begun to establish the M1 supernatural force (a castrated version of the M1 Heretic). The main strategic purpose now is to hold back the Zeon army and consume them
Three..."
After saying this, Yang Hui paused for a moment, with a joking but cold smile on his face: "The senior military officials think that our numbers are small, so we should not go to Odessa to hold back the elite troops."
"Bang!"
"Those damn bastards!"
"Are you looking down on us!?"
"Hmph! I must kill these bugs if I have the chance. ! ”
The seven members of the MS team all had ugly faces. The young people all thought that they had been underestimated and were just angry and unwilling. The older people knew that there must be a political struggle involved. The enemies had already reached their doorsteps, and they were still doing it. The internal fighting made them angry and more disappointed with the Federation.
"Okay!" A sharp shout interrupted everyone's indignation, "We have no record, and it is inevitable to be underestimated. Therefore, I have two requirements for this battle. First, all Keep your eyes open for me, don’t die on the battlefield!”
“Of course!”
“Training is not in vain!”
"Major, I don't think anyone intends to be a martyr. Let's just talk about the second point!"
"Okay, the second point is..." At this time, Yang Hui paused again, with a bloodthirsty expression and a ferocious smile, "...kill Zeon's offal with pleasure."
"Understood!" XN
Tim Ray and other members of the research team praised Yang Hui's methods in their hearts. Whether it was the look down from above or the stimulation of orders, it greatly stimulated the pilots' competitiveness and morale, and they went to the battlefield. This force will unleash unparalleled combat effectiveness.
"Director Lei."
"Major."
"What is the current progress of the armed backpack?"
"Equipment for space, ground warfare, desert warfare and jungle warfare has been manufactured. Except for the armed backpack for space, other equipment has not been tested on actual machines. The equipment for water combat and sky station is 70% advanced."
"Well...the entire aircraft is equipped with a space backpack, and a set of equipment for ground combat, desert warfare and jungle warfare is prepared."
"It's too dangerous, Major. There are no experimental equipment on the battlefield..." Tim Ray knew that Yang Hui planned to experiment with these new equipment on the battlefield.
“No problem, I am always paying attention to the research and development process. There will be no problems. At most, the minor debugging can be solved by the accompanying maintenance engineer.”
"But..."
"Execute the order, Director Lei."
"...Understood." "Disband, prepare individually, and set off on time at 0600 Earth time tomorrow."
< br>
“Yes!” XN
Everyone dispersed, the pilots were excited and might not be able to sleep tonight, while the technical team leaders were worried. They were confident in the equipment they had developed, but they had to use it in combat before it had been tested. Let them worry that if they cause casualties to their comrades because of defects in the equipment they made, they will never forgive themselves for the rest of their lives.
"Major, I think..." Tim Ray wanted to give some advice, but Yang Hui raised his hand to interrupt him and said something that moved him deeply.
"I trust you, Director Lei."
"...This is not a question of trust or distrust." Although he was moved to tears, Tim Ray still held back his tears. Go back, "We are confident in these equipment, but the lives of the pilots should not be used to verify it."
"Don't be excited, Tim."
"How could I not be excited!? This is a matter of life and death!"
"Okay, calm down, I promise you, after arriving on Earth, I will test the performance at the rear first, and I think it is okay. Is this okay if I go to the battlefield again?" Yang Hui knew that if he didn't compromise, Tim Ray would not let him go. Tim Ray was sometimes very talkative, even cowardly, but he cared. He is very stubborn when it comes to things.
"...I'll go with you." Tim Ray decided to come.
"No, although there are combat missions, the development tasks cannot be stopped. In particular, the water-specific and air-specific backpacks must be completed as soon as possible." Yang Hui said seriously, "Zion has already begun to use water-specific mobile suits. , and caused huge losses to the naval fleet and coastal cities. The Federation must also have water MS units as soon as possible; the air force must seize the opportunity. Currently, Zeon does not have air MS available in the atmosphere. Once we obtain it first If you succeed, you will be able to firmly hold the air control in your own hands."
"...But I am not worried..."
"Don't worry, Tim, you should know my abilities."
"..." Tim Lei was silent. Although Yang Hui never said it clearly, from this period of contact, Tim Mu Lei also guessed that Yang Hui was the new technology scientist who developed the M1 Heretic and the [Kilin Class].
"Be safe." Thousands of words were stuck in my throat, but they finally merged into the simplest and most sincere blessing.
"Don't worry, everyone has worked hard during this period. Let me tell everyone that after the task at hand is completed, I will give you two weeks of vacation. You can go home and spend time with your family."
< br>"...Understand."
"Go."
......
Since the [Kirin-class] has not yet been built, the 12th Independent Technical Force does not have its own warship, so Tianmu selected it from the Second Fleet. Four Columbus-class transport ships were deployed to transport eight mobile suits, and then two Mazeren-class heavy cruisers and six Samiras-class light cruisers served as escorts to escort them to Earth orbit, then descend from space and directly arrive in the Middle East. battlefield.
However, after leaving Luna 2's defense range, Zeon's figure was discovered.
"Lieutenant Colonel Vulcan, the concentration of Minovsky particles has increased, the enemy ship has been detected by radar, and the database has been compared...a Musai class ship! The distance is 1,000 kilometers!"
"Well...this technical force has something. The new radar is working." Warcan is not the commander of Luna 2 yet. Before the Federation Space Force recovers its size and can start a head-on battle with the Zeon fleet, He was just a captain under Tiam, and he was in charge of commanding the convoy this time.
At the beginning, Wakan, like most federal officers, did not like the 12th Independent Technical Force. On the one hand, it was the reputation of the commander Yang Hui, and on the other hand, the autonomy of this unit was too high. Eye-catching.
But after the 12th Independent Technical Force completed the Heretic Gundam (an unscaled version, the entire body was made of Gundamium alloy α) and at the same time remodeled the battleships in the fleet, things began to change.
"Only one battleship...reconnaissance force? Or a special force that performs tasks independently..."
"Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do?"
"Has the opponent discovered us?"
"Predicting the route of the opponent's warship, probably not yet."
"Turn the main gun, lock on the enemy Musai class, accelerate forward, don't alert the enemy. "
Logically speaking, the escort fleet has eight battleships, and a mere Musai class is not enough to fill their teeth. Even if Zeon has MS troops, they can't even think about it in front of the updated fleet. It's good, and they also have MS, but their combat effectiveness has not been verified yet.
But the order Warken received was to safely escort the members of the 12th Independent Technical Force to the designated coordinates and then conduct airborne operations. In order not to affect the mission, Warken decided to be on the safe side and not open fire yet.
"I hope everything is safe..."
