Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 357 The choice of each
At this time, Maru also summoned everyone from the Archangel, together with the Earth Army who came to Orb with the Archangel. Although none of them made a decision, none of them left Orb. .

"At present, the fleet of the United Earth Army is heading towards Orb. If Orb refuses the Earth Army's joint crusade against PLANT, it will be regarded as a supporting country of ZAFT. This is the reason."

"What is this!?" Hearing this, some people in the team immediately expressed dissatisfaction. They, who had been chilled by the Atlantic Federation, expressed their dissatisfaction with the bandit style of the Atlantic Federation from the perspective of a bystander.

"The Orb government wants to stick to its neutral position, and is still working hard to mediate diplomatically. Unfortunately, judging from the current actions taken by the Earth Army, it can only be said that this battle is inevitable. The Burundi government has transferred all its citizens abroad, and now Orb, only senior government officials and the army are left, and they have entered a state of national defense to prepare for any eventuality. Similarly, we have to make a choice."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions became very complicated. It was not because of the possibility of fighting with the former allies, but because some people no longer wanted to stay in the army. As bait or cannon fodder.

"Now, the Archangel and other warships are fleeing ships, and our own situation is also very delicate. Facing the current situation of Orb, how should we respond? No one ordered us, and at the same time, we do not have the authority to order you. "

Although it was Maru who said it again, the captains behind her nodded in approval. They are no longer soldiers of the Earth Army, and naturally there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"If it is really impossible to avoid the battle, the battle will start at 0900 tomorrow morning. Should we stand up and fight to protect Orb, or make other choices? We must make our own choices. Therefore, if any crew members want to leave the ship, Please leave immediately, the last boat carrying citizens of Orb will leave at 0700 hours tonight."

"The same goes for the crew of this ship."

"It's the same for this ship."

The captains all echoed, they had already made their choice, like the Archangel, to stay in Orb and stand up, as for the crew's decision, they would not interfere.

"Unreliable captains like me, I am really grateful that you still follow me to this day."

Not only Maru bowed 90 degrees to the crew, but Mu, Bucky Lulu, and other captains did the same.

As captains, they are all unqualified, because the captain is responsible for the crew of the entire ship. Mariou, Mu, and Bucky Lulu's trip to the Archangel was to drive ducks to the shelves, and they also made mistakes during the trip. There were few wrong decisions, and the other captains failed to see the conspiracy of the high-level military, and almost took the crew to be buried with the Joshua base.

Speaking of this, everyone disbanded and had different thoughts. Maru and the others knew that someone would leave the ship, but they also understood each other's thoughts. If too many people left, it would be impossible to maintain the normal operation of a battleship. They will also stay, either to join other warships to fight side by side, or to apply to the Orb Army and join them directly.

As expected, half of the people chose to leave, but the Archangel had 11 people including Katz, and there were more other warships. There were not many people left on the Archangel.

In this case, Yang Hui found them immediately after learning about it.

"I have already cleared up the situation. Thank you very much for your willingness to stay and fight for Aub."

"No, that's what we should do." Maliu replied, Yu Gong, Aub took them in when they were homeless, and guaranteed their safety, this kindness needs to be repaid; Yu private, because Yang Hui himself and Ma Liu will also stay.

"Then there are two ways for you to choose now, especially you guys, your ship has not enough crew members, right?" Yang Hui looked at several unfamiliar captains.

"Yes." It's a bit embarrassing. Although I understand the crew's choice, but after walking so much at once, doesn't it mean that my subordinates are all cowards?

"My thoughts are like this. The Orb Army does not lack a few naval warships to join. In addition to the Archangel, I personally suggest that you take your own warships to the giant floating platform or Papua New Guinea to join the local Orb fleet. This is the first choice; the second choice is to join the Orb army now and rearrange the military positions." Yang Hui said to everyone present, especially for ordinary warships. Captain and crew.

What they brought was the Arkansas-class and Des Moines-class mobile cruisers, which were similar to Orb's Kuramijin-class. Although I don't want to use cannon fodder to describe it, it is the truth.

Moreover, if these warships are on the field, they may be used as key targets to speed up their deaths.

So simply abandon these warships, break them up and incorporate them into the Orb army, or save their strength, let them go to the giant floating platform or Papua New Guinea to temporarily avoid the limelight, and return when Orb is reborn.

Several people looked at each other with complicated expressions. Although they didn't feel any malice or belittling from Yang Hui, there was indeed a bit of contempt in their words. What made them most uncomfortable was that this was a fact that they had to admit .

"Everyone, please make a decision as soon as possible." Yang Hui urged, because there is no time to waste now, "If you choose one, please be prepared to escort the transport ships that the citizens are on to leave Orb Local; if you choose two, I will immediately arrange positions for you.”

"...Your Excellency Yang Hui, please allow us to discuss it. It won't take too long, just 10 minutes."

"it is good."

Yang Hui got up to leave, and Maru followed behind Yang Hui, leaving room for them to discuss. After all, she would stay with the Archangel, so it would be inconvenient for her to participate in their conversation.

"Yang Hui... Is this battle with Aub really inevitable?" Maru asked worriedly. She has indeed witnessed Aub's strength, but this strength also has a limit. Compared with the giant Atlantic Federation It really doesn't seem like a big deal.

"You don't know the request made by the Atlantic Federation, do you?"

"What request? Isn't it a mass accelerator?"

"The Atlantic Federation demands that the Aubu government be dissolved, the army be disbanded, and... hand me over," Yang Hui said.

"How could this happen!?" Maliu really didn't know about this. They only knew that the Atlantic Federation troops were coming, but they didn't know that the Atlantic Federation had put forward such outrageous conditions. Not only did they want Aub to destroy the country , but also Yang Hui!It's just that Maru couldn't accept the latter request.

"So, the battle between Orb and the Atlantic Federation cannot be avoided, and..."

The battle between Orb and the Atlantic Federation, even if it can be avoided, it cannot be avoided. If it is avoided this time, can it be avoided next time?Once his spine is broken, Orb will always be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, [White Dove Project] is imperative, this battle must be fought!

"Is there... a chance of winning?" Ma Liu worried, she really couldn't find out where Aub's chances were, but she thought that Yang Hui would have a solution after making such a decision.

"This battle has no chance of winning."

"That……"

"But Aub, there is hope."

"..." Ma Liu hugged Yang Hui lightly, and put her chin on his shoulder, "I will help you."

Maru didn't know what to say. She knew that Yang Hui must have a plan, but she didn't know the details of the plan. All she could do now was to support and help Yang Hui.

"Don't worry, my plan will not fail. We will all be alive to witness Aub's new life."

"Then go to Promeus Fortress together, and travel to other worlds together." Of course, this sentence was not spoken, but Yang Hui thought in his heart.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Yang Hui also got their answers.

"Your Excellency Yang Hui, we choose the first path."

"Okay, please get ready and set off tonight. I will notify Gaelta. After you go, someone will receive you."

"Thank you."

Everyone dispersed to prepare for the night voyage. Yang Hui understood their choice and understood their thoughts. In fact, they were not optimistic about Aub's situation, and they didn't want to be buried with Aub. The first way they chose was to find a way for themselves. A way to survive, but also to leave a way out for myself, to witness whether the country of Aub can still exist and whether it can still be reborn. Now Aub is not qualified to let them risk their lives and must protect them, even if they are kind to them.

After sending them off, Yang Hui and Maru came to the Archangel together. Since the Archangel came to Orb, except for meeting Kira and others in the hospital, he hasn't had a good meeting with this group of companions. He is too busy. up.

"Yang Hui, are you here?"

"Well, how's it going?"

"It's not bad, Aub is still so peaceful, but this peace won't last long."

"Don't worry, even if it is broken, it will not be wiped out. As long as people are still alive, there is hope."

"As expected of a big shot, you speak so high-end, our lives are entrusted to you."

"Keep your heart in your stomach, I want you to work for me for the rest of your life."

……

After chatting casually, Yang Hui bid farewell to everyone. The fleet of the Atlantic Federation was close at hand, and he had to go to the Ministry of National Defense for final confirmation to see how the emperor's arrangements were going.

"The deployment of the battle plan has been completed. Let's take a look." As he spoke, Huang marked her deployment plan on the battle map, along with the predicted route of the Atlantic Federation Fleet.

"It's a pity, if there are special underwater mobile suits, we can attack them in an ambush first in this place." Yang Hui looked at a piece of sea area and said helplessly. , will not be detected by the sonar system in advance, and the Atlantic Federation now has no water power, and it has almost no defense against the special mobile suits in the water.

"A layer of anti-aircraft firepower is deployed in this area." Yang Hui drew another area behind the defense line of the port, because in Yang Hui's memory, in addition to the sea fleet, the Atlantic Federation also had air-dropped troops, which also caused the entire Orb defense line to collapse. biggest reason.

"Here... airdrop troops?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately mobilized troops to complete Orb's defensive circle.
