Infinity Frontier

Chapter 56 Plan
A few days passed, and the Archangel finally entered the Strait of Malacca as originally planned.

Because of Xiao Yun's previous speculation, before entering the Strait of Malacca, Maru asked Mu to carry out an aerial reconnaissance with the Skymaster No. [-], and continued to advance in the strait with the Skymaster in the air.

And Xiao Yun was also called into the bridge, feeling the slightly tense and silent atmosphere in the bridge, Xiao Yun did not speak indiscriminately, just found a place where no one was sitting and looked at him from time to time. The radar picture on the console in front of him and the communication picture sent back from Mu in front in real time on the big screen.

"No, no, no!" Mu complained in a deep tone in the communication: "I didn't see any traces of the Zaft army, and it is impossible to ambush at the entrance even if we want to ambush, but once we enter the Strait of Malacca, the Maybe we will meet Zaft's ambushes in the middle or at the exit."

"But at that time, no matter how many people Zaft has arranged, we have no other choice but to break through."

"One day." Maliu sat on the captain's seat with a thoughtful expression: "It will take at least one day to pass through the Strait of Malacca. We are like turtles in the urn when we meet the enemy in depth. There is really no other way to go except for a frontal breakthrough. The path we chose, but we also don't have any choice now."

Mirialia looked at Maru with some confusion: "Captain, why don't we bypass the Strait of Malacca?"

Maliu showed a helpless expression: "Because the Strait of Malacca belongs to the Equatorial Union and is a neutral force just like Orb, we can enter the Strait of Malacca without any burden, and the Equatorial Union will choose to turn a blind eye. Don't worry if you really meet Zaft The Equatorial Federation stepped in."

"It is also impossible for ZAFT to send a large-scale force into the equator to jointly intercept and pursue us. The force that can be used will definitely be limited within a certain range. With the current combat power of the Archangel, there is also the possibility of a breakthrough."

"But if you bypass the Strait of Malacca and continue down, it will belong to the sphere of influence of the Pacific Alliance, and the Pacific Alliance is a pro-Plant country. At that time, we will definitely send forces that we cannot resist to encircle us."

Dole suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I know that the Carpantalia base is in Australia. It is one of the most important bases of the ZAFT Army on Earth, and the other is the Gibraltar base."

Maru nodded: "That's right, so this is the only way we can go, Mr. Xiao, where do you think Zaft will wait for us?"

Xiao Yun looked at Maliu, and said: "The place where the exit should be. Under normal circumstances, that time should also be the time when we are the most relaxed. We must pass through the most dangerous Strait of Malacca. If we continue to go The terrain will become very difficult for us to hide, so they will definitely attack us before we reach the islands."

Maru looked at the map and nodded lightly: "As I thought, Mirialia, tell Major Mu to come back."

Xiao Yun pondered, and asked: "Captain Maliu, what is the maximum battery life of the Air King that Mu is driving?"

Maru was surprised by Xiao Yun's question, but she also said: "About 4000 kilometers, if equipped with Strike Gundam's flying backpack, it can reach at least 7000 kilometers."

Xiao Yun opened his mouth, shook his head and said: "I suspect that the other party may already be guarding us at the exit, it's better to let Mu continue to make sure, it's better than worrying about the next day and not knowing when the enemy will launch an attack .”

Ma Liu nodded when she heard Xiao Yun's words, and felt that what Xiao Yun said seemed to make sense, so she gave another order to Mirialia.

In fact, what Xiao Yun wanted to say was not this sentence, what he really wanted to say was actually another matter.

Skymaster is extremely fast, with a maximum range of 7000 kilometers, starting from here and going to Orb to stop for supplies, then turn around and arrive at the East Asian Federation for resupply, and then fly all the way to Alaska. Wouldn’t it be faster and more convenient than the Archangel?
Besides, what the United Earth wants is only the data of the Archangel and Strike Gundam, not the aircraft itself. Since the data is precious, why not let Mu fly there alone, it is safe and fast, and it will be safe in two days at most. Sending the data of the airframe and the battleship to Alaska, it is necessary to continue to move forward in this way.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Xiao Yun changed the subject. To put it bluntly, it’s none of his business. Xiao Yun also thought it would be better for the Archangel to go to Alaska for a tour. Otherwise, these people probably wouldn’t be able to see the essence of the United Earth clearly. , If you can't see through it, how can you join Orb and become an important force to stop the war.

When Mu returned from the voyage, he also brought news to the Archangel, that is, the traces of the Zaft army were found on the necessary route of the Archangel.

A complete ZAFT team, an interception team composed of three diving aircraft carriers, is stationed at the exit of the Strait of Malacca.

When Mu returned to the Archangel, the group began to discuss the battle meeting on the bridge.

Mu marked the location of the three aircraft carriers on the map: "In this place, a team composed of three ZAFT submarine motherships, the specific configuration is unknown, but if a mothership carries six mobile suits, then The next thing we have to face is a large-scale mobile suit force with eighteen mobile suits capable of combat in the air and in the water."

"In the case of half and half, the Archangel also has to face the attack from nine different mobile suits in the air and nine underwater suits. Although Strike Gundam can fight underwater, it is too much pressure to face the attack of nine mobile suits." big."

Mu glanced at the crowd and said, "So I suggest changing the route immediately, instead of continuing to sail from the sea, but bypassing the land."

Bucky Lulu shook her head beside her: "I can't do it."

Mu puzzled: "Why?"

Maru sighed: "Because drones have been eyeing us just now, the Equatorial Union will not allow us to set foot on their land."

Mu nodded and looked at the map: "Then we can only break through forcefully, but it's not impossible. Now they don't know that we have found them. They want to ambush us, so we can also attack them first."

Maru asked, "What do you mean?"

Mu Dao: "I will take the lead in flying the Skymaster No. [-] and find an opportunity to destroy a battleship first to reduce the pressure we have to face. As long as we can do this, the pressure we have to face will be reduced by one-third one."

Xiao Yun nodded lightly: "It's possible, and then Kira and I will take advantage of the situation to attack. The enemies in the air can be dealt with by me, but the underwater targets can only rely on Kira."
