Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

The Prime Minister of the Federation was thinking about the way out in this desperate situation:

Earth Federation Army?It is completely unreliable, otherwise the first colonial satellite, Iphis Island, would definitely not have fallen - the military and the government have something in common on this point.

That is, if there is even a slight chance, a vicious event like the landing on Ifes Island that would be known to citizens all over the world would not happen. And when it does happen, it means that the Federation Army must have exhausted everything. Means, still can't stop it.

The kindness of the Zabi family in the Principality of Zeon?It's ridiculous. Is there really such a thing?They are simply a group of lunatics - as a seasoned politician, the federal prime minister cannot discern their purpose from the Zabi family's war methods.

In other words, the Zabi family themselves may not know the extent of the means they should take to achieve their goals.

This reminded the Federal Prime Minister of a political joke he heard when he was a student, about the Prime Minister's power to launch a nuclear bomb:

"As long as you give the order, Prime Minister, the nuclear bomb will be launched."

"As long as I give the order, won't anyone argue with me?"

"No, the duty of a soldier is to obey."

"Then, what if I'm drunk? Or, what if I regret the order?"

"It doesn't matter, no one will have the time to care about this anyway, right?"

As for the Zabi family, perhaps it is more accurate to limit it to Kilian Zabi. He was the drunk one, but he happened to be sitting in the seat of the leader of a country, and he pressed the button without any regrets. The Prime Minister think.

'Damn it, did he really know the consequences?What good does it do a ruler to provoke a war that costs billions of lives? If he wins, what will be left for him to conquer in the Earth's circle? '

"But, Prime Minister, those hundreds of colonial satellites in orbit are Zeon bullets, and now the people of the Principality of Zeon have their guns pointed at our heads. How should we negotiate terms?"

On the other end of the communication, the Foreign Secretary looked sad, as if he thought he was destined to be infamous for eternity for signing a shameful treaty.

"If you drag it, drag it hard! What are you afraid of in Antarctica? If the Principality of Zeon wants to hit it, it will hit Gabro." The Prime Minister said angrily.

It was confirmed from intelligence that the Principality of Zeon's first target was the Federation Army's headquarters in South America. After Gabro, the Federation Prime Minister had immediately moved from New York to Lhasa, far away from those who might be affected by the crash of the colonial satellite. place.

"You mean..." Sensing the slight indifference in the Prime Minister's tone about the fall of the colonial satellite, the Federation's Foreign Secretary realized something.

"Don't speculate blindly. In short, it is the federal army's fault for allowing colonial satellites to hit the earth, no matter how many times. Only when it is absolutely necessary can our government endure the humiliation and make a choice to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice. Do you understand?"

...

"Now, we must never let this happen again, understand?"

On Luna 2, in a conference room at the Federal Space Force Base, Lieutenant General Cunningham summarized the special attack mission.

"Since we are unable to stop them, we can only prevent them from pushing colonial satellites to the earth through mutually assured destruction."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

There seemed to be fire burning in Major Albert's eyes, and he answered without any hesitation. He was completely different from the half-dead drunkard just now.

"Promise to complete the mission!" Next to Albert, Santiago shook his red twin tails, imitating his example, and followed Albert's salute.

Listening to the cute voice of the girl next to him, Major Albert couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"Then disband... Albert, you," Lieutenant General Cunningham seemed to want to say something more, but in the end he only uttered a few unsurprising words, "Is there anything else I can help you solve?"

Major Albert shook his head:

"No, Commander Cunningham, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my last wish."

Cunningham could only stand there and watch Major Albert disappear forever.

The moment he walked out of the conference room door, Major Albert slammed the door shut, as if to prevent anyone from coming out, but Santiago's figure directly appeared in the corridor.

"Commander, the next step is for the two of us to fight together~ Please give us your advice!" The girl jumped for joy and approached Major Albert excitedly.

But Albert turned away directly, as if he didn't dare to look at Santiago, and shouted into the air:

"Cynthia! Can't you change Santiago's image? She's not even an adult yet?"

"You can't say someone is underage just because they are short, Major Albert." The tall purple-haired girl seemed helpless, wiping the glasses in her hands and appearing in the corridor.

"If you say this, it will damage the image of the Federal Space Force. Underage girls appearing on warships and so on..."

"Is it because of this?" Cynthia looked directly into Major Albert's eyes, but he avoided her.

"Yes," Albert responded in a low voice, "She looks like this and I can't fight."

"Even if it has nothing to do with the age of the ship, after the modification, the San Diego is in a state where the functions are complete, all systems are running well, and there is no aging problem in the hull. Compared with the human life cycle, there is no doubt that it is in its prime."

Cynthia did not answer Albert's question directly. Instead, she turned sideways, moved out of the middle of the corridor, and projected a 1:100 model of the San Diego.

"Please take a good look at Santiago, this is her," Cynthia pointed with four fingers at the cruiser, which is still more than two meters long at a scale of 1:100. "As for the anthropomorphic image, it is just for the convenience of communicating with you. ——”

"Just like if I didn't appear here now," the purple-haired girl put her hands on her hips and looked at Major Albert with a slightly sullen look, "don't you think it would be embarrassing to speak to the air?"

"So can this anthropomorphic image be changed?"

Albert was not biased by the girl's words and reiterated his basic position.

Cynthia sighed, "Of course it will be changed. All you need to do is submit a report to Lieutenant General Cunningham, saying that you cannot accept cooperation with Santiago and strongly request to change her image, and then ask the Lieutenant General for approval. "

"Of course, if you need it, I can help you draft it now." Cynthia added at the end, "Or, you can turn around and I will knock on the door for you, and you can directly ask Lieutenant General Cunningham in person. Let’s talk about this.”

"Well..." As a soldier, Albert had to admit that it would be too embarrassing to be picky with his superiors because of the appearance of the equipment.

Chapter 50: Albert Air Raid (1)

Major Albert returned to his empty apartment, followed by a little tail.

"Commander Albert~ Do you have any special requirements for the room on this ship? I can tell the workers who are doing the interior decoration~"

Santiago's energetic voice came through the door, not at all discouraged by the cold reception.

'Because the hardware configuration of the cruiser's onboard computer is limited, does the displayed mentality appear to be a little more childish? '

Major Albert remembered what Cynthia told him about Santiago's current state, and couldn't help but sigh, turned around and opened the door.

"Didn't I 'please' you go back to the ship first?"

Major Albert forced himself to look at the petite girl in front of him.

"Hey, I really went back just now. Commander, if you don't believe me, you can ask the porthole construction worker, but I don't see anything I can do to help, so I'm here again~"

The girl showed a smile that didn't look very smart, "After all, you are my commander. Marco Polo said that the more familiar we are, the more we can improve our combat efficiency."

Albert continued to watch the girl, watching her every move, frown and smile.

"Hey, what's wrong, Commander?"

"No, it's nothing, I just suddenly felt that it didn't look like that anymore," Major Albert shook his head, "How can my character be so good? If I dared to ignore her like this, I should have given up on her by now. .”

"What did you say, Commander?"

"Forget it, don't stand outside my door. Don't let my neighbors see the misunderstanding." Albert looked around for a while, but it seemed that no one else was passing by, so he simply let the door open. .

"Well, Commander, I can't enter your room~" Santiago had a rare expression of embarrassment on his face.

Major Albert was stunned for a moment, raised his head slightly, and looked at the lens of the holographic projector on the ceiling of the corridor that was a public space.

"That's right. Just wait a moment. I'll pack up my things and come out right away."

"Hey, okay, I'll wait for you~" After saying that, Santiago conjured a small bench with his bare hands and sat on it, causing Major Albert to look at her twice more.

'I can't imagine Marco Polo looking like this'.

Major Albert recalled in his mind the scene of working with the fleet flagship Marco Polo in CIC, the figure who always stood upright and never relaxed.

'Is this also the result of artificial intelligence learning and evolving when getting along with people?Too soon,' Major Albert thought silently in his mind and walked into his bedroom, but what else could he do?

Santiago, who was sitting at the door, watched Major Albert's back disappear into the house, with a thoughtful look on his face:

'Repaying grievance with straightness, repaying kindness with kindness, family hatred can still be like this, but when it comes to national hatred between two countries, who can be the ruler to measure the reasonableness and appropriateness of revenge? '

As Cynthia withdrew the computing power temporarily lent to Santiago, the petite girl sitting on the bench returned to her original state.

Albert walked through the empty living room, looked around in his bedroom, and finally just grabbed a few changes of uniforms from the closet and stuffed them into a suitcase;

Then he took off the photo on the refrigerator door and dragged his luggage out of the room.

Major Albert, standing at the door, looked at the apartment for the last time, and then closed the door. He had nothing to miss.

"Ah, Commander, are you ready?" Santiago jumped up, "Are you going to the ship now?"

"Yes," Major Albert stretched out his hand and touched the top of Santiago's head. He should not be able to touch anything;

But the memory of the touch and warmth of his fingers brushing through his hair gave Albert room for fantasy, and Santiago narrowed his eyes in cooperation and rubbed Albert's hand.

"Commander, do you need to add something to the refrigerator now? Cynthia said, with Luna 2 falling into isolation in the universe, although the base's own soilless agriculture will definitely not starve to death, the abundance of food will Rapid decline for the foreseeable future.”

The Principality of Zeon's blockade can only cut off the connection between Luna 2 and the Earth, nothing more. The self-sustainability of the base itself is enough for the Federation Army to defend it until death.

"If you place an order now, there may be more available supplies in stock~"

"It's not necessary," Major Albert put the big-brimmed military hat on his head straightly, "If you have to say it, tell her for me and ask her to ask someone to clean up the room for me. Don't give it to the next person. People moving in are causing trouble.”

"Eh--?"

"Okay, now you are facing the commander of this operation, Major Albert, Santiago, reporting on your current situation!"

"Yes, Commander! The modification and upgrade of this ship has entered the final stage and is expected to be completed in 11 hours!"

"Where's the ammo and fuel?"

"The propellant will be refilled after the sealing check of the tank is completed in 6 hours. Except for the 10 'special guests', all other live ammunition on this ship has been loaded, Commander!"

Major Albert and Santiago confirmed the preparations before the attack one by one, and also confirmed that the girl in front of them, no matter how she looked, was actually a war machine that was ready to go.

'That's enough,' he thought.

On January 23, Year 0079.1.23 of the Universe (UC 2), Luna 23’s far side, No. [-], made an emergency exit from the port.

Santiago, this Salamis-class cruiser has undergone major modifications. The single-mounted Mega particle main gun has been reduced to 3, but a full 11 twin point-mounted defense laser cannons have been installed, and she is carrying her on this voyage. The most important guest is the 10-unit heavy missile launch tube on the bow of the ship.

Santiago, who was slowly gliding towards the exit of the gate, looked beyond his more than 200-meter-long hull and looked at an additional set of 100-meter-long disposable booster rockets and two additional fuel tanks; these are Necessary for this battle.

"Albert," the command of the Federal Space Force on Luna 2, headed by Lieutenant General Cunningham, collectively appeared on the big screen in the CIC of the San Diego:

"Everything is counting on you." Lieutenant General Cunningham took the lead in saluting.

"I will live up to my expectations, and I will insert the sword of revenge into the source of evil!" Major Albert stood up and returned the salute seriously. Behind him, Santiago also maintained the necessary solemnity in a formal occasion, and followed the major in returning the salute.

"I wish everything goes well and a successful return as soon as possible!" Major General Amundsen, commander of the Luna 2 garrison fleet, also sent his blessings, but this time, Major Albert just maintained the gesture of returning the gift and nodded slightly.

Chapter 51: Albert Air Raid (2)

Led by several tugboats, the Santiago sailed out of the port on the back side of Luna 2, far away from the earth. The amount of propellant used in this operation was very limited, and there was no room for waste.

"The federal fleet has been spotted leaving the harbor! Repeat, the federal fleet has been spotted!"

As the last base of the Federation Space Force in space, Luna 2 is naturally the key area for Zeon reconnaissance at this time - a Musai-class light cruiser, coupled with several mobile suits, can become an independent reconnaissance force Detachment.

At this time, on the radar screen, on the front of Luna 2, the four main doors of the space port opened at the same time, and huge tail flame heat source signals came out one after another, arrayed in front of the fortress.

"Spread the rice particles quickly and recall the reconnaissance Zaku team! Let them quickly enter the rice particle interference range." Lieutenant Colonel Dotson, the Zeon captain on the Musai class, grabbed the microphone from the communications officer.

'Can the Federal Space Force still have such military strength? 'The captain suppressed his nervousness and tried hard to issue orders in a calm tone.

"Captain, don't worry so much. Isn't the Federation fleet still far away from us?"

A disdainful reply from the Zaku pilots came back from the communication channel. According to the principle of visual distance combat under the interference of nanoparticles that Zeon has always followed, Zaku pilots often have considerable autonomy.

Especially after the Battle of Hart, even Commander Dozulu, who originally insisted on prioritizing the development of the Zeon cruiser fleet, had to admit that without mobile suits, it would be impossible for Zeon to win this battle.

Therefore, the command authority in the Zeon space fleet is slowly changing from the captain to the captain of the ship-based mobile suit formation.

However, as one of the few senior captains in the Principality of Zeon who has been a veteran captain since the days of the Zeon Self-Defense Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Dotson, who has been invited to observe the Federation Space Force exercises many times, knows very well that the Federation is The accuracy of ultra-long-distance artillery battles without the interference of meter particles.

"Obey the order! You are now exposed to the Federalists' sight!"

This is also the frustration of the Principality of Zeon’s tactics, all of which are based on rice particles interfering with the environment. If any Zeon battleship or MS wants to spread rice particles, the first to be interfered with, and also the most severely interfered, is the one closest to the source of interference. Zeon China’s own radar and communications equipment.

Therefore, in the Zeon reconnaissance force, the mothership is still hiding in the mist of meter particles, and the reconnaissance type Zaku on board goes out to monitor the enemy's movements, which only transfers the risk from the MS mothership to the area where the meters particles are scattered. It’s just Zaku’s body——

For the Federal Space Force's original over-the-horizon artillery level, there is no difference in hit difficulty between the two.

"Huh? Captain, you know, I was right there when the Federation Space Force fleet was beaten to a pulp in Side 2. What's there to be afraid of..."

Ten lavender light beams converged into a circle, and in less than half a second, they passed through tens of thousands of kilometers of space, cutting Zaku, who appeared struttingly on the Marco Polo fire control radar screen, into a human. stick.

【? 】

'What kind of consciousness does this Zaku have? How come it doesn't dodge at all? '

Marco Polo, who deliberately blocked all possible evasive directions of the Zaku, looked at the screen with a slightly embarrassed look. The cockpit and torso of the Zaku seemed to be still intact.
