A journey through the Gundam world

He originally thought that the other party was actually his father's lobbyist, but it turned out that he, like himself, thought that his father had done something wrong.

Others around him, including Chisaka, kept emphasizing that they should understand their father's difficulties.

Only Alex frankly said that his father had made mistakes.

"Really? You're not just talking nonsense to comfort me, are you?"

"Of course not. I just want to say that his neutral starting point is good, but to be honest, Orb, it is difficult to maintain such neutrality. Representative Uzmi is a bit wishful thinking."

"However, neutrality is to protect Orb from being involved in this war!"

Cagalli frowned.

Seeing the girl defending her father, Alex smiled softly.

He suddenly reached out and ruffled the other person's hair, and sighed amid the other person's protest.

"If you want to implement this concept, the price you have to pay will be very huge. In the end, the people may even betray their relatives, and the people you protect will not understand why you insist on doing this."

His words stunned Cagalli who was arranging her hair.

"Think carefully about what I said. By the way, after arriving on Earth, we will return to Orb. By the way, think about what to say to prevent your father from beating you."

Before Cagalli could say anything, Alex left.

Thirty minutes later, all the Archangels lined up in Gnaku, and a general-purpose small boat of the Earth Army landed on the deck of Gnaku.

Chapter 81 Halbarton’s Thoughts

The officers headed by Masuo stood closest to the gangway.

The hatch opened, and a tall and muscular brigadier came out.

Short tawny hair was exposed under the military cap, his eyes were steady, and there was a tawny beard on his lips.

Alex can feel that the other person is a good person in the traditional sense, the kind who usually doesn't survive more than three episodes.

Just from his agile movements and body shape, one cannot tell his actual age.

Seeing the Masuji people saluting him, he smiled and said loudly.

"Oh, when I heard about the disintegration of Heliopolis, I thought everything was over. I didn't expect to see you here, as well as the Archangel and the attack."

"Thank you for your concern, long time no see."

Masuo's tone was also full of excitement.

Afterwards, Halbarton exchanged pleasantries with the others, and then walked towards the others who were lined up at the rear.

After expressing his gratitude to Kira and others, and telling them that his family was safe.

Several officers, including Alex, were called to the captain's room to communicate with Halbarton alone.

As expected, Lieutenant Natal did not listen to his persuasion and suggested to Halbarton to control Kira's family so that Kira could continue to drive the attack.

Then he was scolded by Halbarton. Looking at the deflated Bucky Lulu, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Why is this person so stubborn?

But Alex also discovered something interesting, that is, Halbarton's adjutant, Colonel Hoffman, did not seem to have the same heart as him.

He has never seen an adjutant working against his chief officer. In theory, adjutants should generally be confidants.

And Hoffman acted more like he was sent to monitor Halbarton.

So he paid a lot of attention to this colonel who behaved abnormally.

But no malice was detected, just a sense of arrogance.

"Captain Alex."

While he was thinking, Halbarton turned his attention to him.

"General Halbarton."

He stood at attention, but the other party showed a pleasant expression.

"Thank you for your help to the Archangel along the way. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive now."

Alex noticed that he did not mention the issue of heresy, but the other party must have known the inextricable connection between the heresy plan and Plan G.

If it were another Atlantic Federation general, even if he wasn't directly detained, he would still be furious and ridicule him.

But Halbarton didn't mention this, as if he didn't know about it, and expressed his gratitude to him.

Although Hoffman on the side did not have a good expression on his face, Alex had already ignored him.

"It's okay. We are all in the same boat and facing the common enemy. That's how it should be."

Halbarton nodded with satisfaction at his answer.

"It's a pity that you are an Orb soldier, otherwise I would definitely have you under my control. What do you think? Think about it?"

The Brigadier's words made everyone else stunned.

Alex was also a little surprised by the general's open solicitation.

Still he shook his head.

"I'm very sorry. As a qualified soldier, my most important virtue is loyalty."

His polite refusal made Halbarton laugh.

"Hahahaha, what an interesting answer. So, what are your plans next?"

"Land to Earth and return to Orb."

This was an excuse he had already thought of.

"Going back to Earth? How about continuing on the Archangel?"

Halbarton's words made Ma Su and others stunned.

Because according to the plan, the Archangel has to go to the lunar base.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the three people's faces, Colonel Hoffman spoke.

"The Brigadier General has thought carefully and decided to let you land directly to the Alaska base."

Halbarton nodded.

"Now the war has become more and more intense. After the fall of Victoria and Kaohsiung, the only mass accelerator our army can use is Panama. And the focus of ZAFT's attack is likely to be the Panama Spaceport."

"Furthermore, ZAFT is constantly investing in new mobile suits, but our army is still investing a lot of money in those old and backward weapons. This not only wastes resources, but also causes soldiers to die in vain! So we must let Plan G The development is on track!”

Halpaton's intention is very obvious. As the war continues, the Union Army is losing its advantage little by little due to internal struggles.

Although the United Earth has great advantages over PLANT, its industrial capabilities differ from PLANT mainly in space.

The main industrial bases of the Union are all on the earth, so various materials and warships must be launched from the earth into the universe through the space port and mass accelerator.

CE's warships can also be launched from the ground into the universe, but unlike UC's, which are powerful enough to fly, they must also rely on mass accelerators.

Therefore, ZAFT's battle plan is to occupy and destroy the mass accelerator and separate the combined fleets on the earth and the universe.

So far, most of the mass accelerators on Earth have fallen into ZAFT hands.

The only remaining one is in neutral Orb, and the other is Panama under joint control.

But Panama alone is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the Combined Space Fleet.

As long as ZAFT launches another attack on Panama and succeeds.

Then ZAFT can use its existing forces to defeat the United Space Fleet, which lacks supplies and battleships, and then completely seal the Union forces on the ground from the earth.

Regarding this situation, a consensus has been reached within the coalition forces.

Therefore, the defense force in Panama has been continuously strengthened.

However, according to existing combat cases, the coalition forces can only offset the advantages of ZAFT's mobile warriors by investing a very large number of troops.

For the United Army, mobile suits are also an inevitable choice.

In this case, Archangel and Assault, which are part of Plan G, go to the Alaska base as important combat forces and samples, which can provide huge help to the coalition's next mobile suit mass production plan.

Therefore, Halbarton planned to let the Archangel land directly on the earth and head to Alaska.

Alex was not surprised by this, but he felt that Halbarton was indeed bold enough.

However, what they didn't know was that the United Army had already begun manufacturing a new second-generation GAT series airframe based on the data of Project G.

And the manufacturing of mass-produced mobile suits has also entered the preparatory stage.

After listening to Halbaton's thoughts, Masu and others immediately expressed their willingness to go to Earth.

"Since Captain Alex is going back to Orb, let's make some corrections to your landing location. Let's go to Orb first."

"Your Mightiness!"

Hoffman on the side immediately objected.

"The Archangel and the raid are our army's secrets..."

"Huh, 4 units have been taken away, so there is no secret left."

Halbarton sneered at this.

"Besides, Orb is also a country that assists Plan G. Staying in Orb will also help the Archangel get supplies and repairs."

Since the Montgomery was not sunk, all the additional personnel for the Archangel were in place.

Although the Archangel reunited with the Eighth Fleet and received a certain degree of material supplies.

However, under the influence of ZAFT, the supply situation of the Combined Space Fleet is generally not good.

The supplies that the Eighth Fleet can provide are limited, and although the Archangel set sail forcibly, many subsystems on the ship have not been installed and debugged.

All these required him to go to Orb for final adjustments, although he did not get in touch with Orb.

But the wily Halbarton felt that Orb would not refuse the arrival of the Archangel.

After all, the actual combat data of this ship and the attack are very tempting.

If Orb wants to develop his own MS, these are all essential.

"But if we rashly enter the territory of a neutral country, will it cause diplomatic problems?"

Masuo was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I think Captain Alex can take care of this problem."

Look at the cunning look in Halbarton's eyes.

Alex suddenly realized that he had been plotted by the other party.

It seemed that his identity was probably known or guessed by the other party.

So he spread his hands like a bachelor.

"I'll try to contact my superiors. Whether I can agree or not depends on their decision."

"Yes, but I believe your superiors will make wise judgments."

Halbaton looked at the three people of Masuo seriously.

"I'll leave all this to you!"

In Gnaku, supplies are being continuously received from the Cornelius-class supply ships of the Eighth Fleet.

Madek was stunned when he looked at the two 'Sky Kings' on the supply list.

"Hey, isn't this a fighter jet used in the atmosphere? Why do you still have this?"

Just when he was wondering, the first Air King was slowly sliding into the Gnaku.

After the meeting, Alex used the ship's remote communication to contact Chisaka.

"Captain Alex, how is Cagalli doing?"

"It's very good. She eats well, sleeps well, and is busy on the boat all day long. This kind of life is very suitable for her. It is much better than being a princess. If you ask me, Uzumi is a real failure as a father."

Chisaka coughed unnaturally and then cleared his throat.

"what happened to you?"

Just when he was wondering why Chisaka had eyebrows all over his face, a majestic voice came from outside the screen.
