A journey through the Gundam world

Regarding this request, Masu, Baji Lulu and others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Before they could answer, Alex took the initiative to speak.

"Commander Wang, can we discuss this?"

"of course can."

"Thank you."

After Alex answered politely, he turned off the communication directly.

"Sure enough, a free lunch is not so easy to eat."

Mu Yi shrugged and smiled bitterly.

"What if we leave directly from here and go to Orb? We are cooperating with the East Asia Federation, not under its command."

Bucky Lulu said unceremoniously.

One battleship, the Archangel, and three mobile suits were sent as reinforcements to Davao, where the fighting was fiercest.

This looks like asking them to die.

"However, if we don't help, I'm afraid we won't be safe along the way."

Alex said pointing at the map.

"First of all, if we want to leave, we must bypass Davao, which is a mess, so we can only go north, via the Northern Mariana Islands. Then, in order to avoid the control of Port Moresby, which has been occupied, we have to go northeast Continue to take a circuitous route and make a circle from the direction of the Marshall Islands to get closer to Orb.”

Following his markings, everyone discovered that this was a voyage of nearly 7000 kilometers.

"Can't we let the Orb army escort us?"

Mu had a sudden idea.

Matsulfur helps the forehead.

"Major Mu, Orb is a neutral country. How can their navy be dispatched to escort us openly?"

"Ah hahahaha, I was just joking."

Mu smiled awkwardly to cover up the nonsense he just said.

"Yes, it is impossible for the Orb navy to dispatch to escort us. Unless we crash into Orb territorial waters, it is enough for the other party to fire at us."

Alex shrugged and said.

"If we don't assist the East Asia Federation, it means that even if we take a detour, we will encounter crazy interceptions by the ZAFT army along the way. Is that what you mean? Captain Alex."

Bucky Lulu understood what he wanted to say.

"That's right. The ZAFT army in Carpentaria will not watch us heading to Alaska in a big way. I bet that the Archangel is worth a Nebula Medal now."

The Nebula Medal is the highest-level military medal established by PLANT. From the beginning of the war to the present, it has been awarded to very few people.

Kruse was awarded the Nebula Medal for his ZAFT single-game kill record of 37 M/A and 4 battleships in the Yggdrasil Offensive and Defense Battle.

In addition, in the original work, Aslan was also awarded the Nebula Medal for shooting down the raid.

This shows the gold content of this medal in the ZAFT Army, so there is a saying that if you shoot down the Archangel, you can get the Nebula Medal.

"It turns out we're still valuable."

Mu spread his hands and laughed with Alex.

Looking at the two people who were giggling, Ma Su and Baji Lulu also understood.

In fact, they have no choice, even if they encounter no interception along the way, or defeat the interceptor.

But their supplies were not enough to support the 7000-kilometer voyage, and they needed to resupply midway anyway.

But on the vast sea, where can we find supplies?

Since the ZAFT army invested in the submarine carrier, some ports and supply points that could have provided supplies to the coalition navy have been attacked or warned.

As a result, when the coalition fleet is dispatched, it must bring its own supply ships, otherwise it will easily be wasted at sea.But the Archangel does not have this capability and can only rely on port supplies.

"So, we agree to this request?"

Alex glanced around the three of them.

"Yes, but we will only hold on for 5 days. If it exceeds 5 days, the ship hopes to have the right to make its own judgment based on the battlefield conditions."

Although Masuo said it very euphemistically, in fact, if no reinforcements arrived after 5 days, the Archangel would evacuate on its own.

After Alex reported the Archangel's request to Wang Zhonghe, the other party readily agreed.

And the situation and new combat plan reported by the Third Fleet to the headquarters were also approved.

In order to cooperate with their actions, the East Asia Federation also specially mobilized a large number of transport aircraft to take off directly from the mainland for transportation to Davao.

And the reinforcement fleet that originally arrived at Batangas Port sailed directly to Zamboanga to join the Third Fleet.

This series of preparations also allowed everyone on the Archangel to see the sincerity of the East Asia Federation.

Chapter 103

So after some preparations, the Archangel set sail alone, crossed Morro Bay diagonally, passed Ileana Bay, landed near Pahrump, passed through the tropical rain forest, and headed straight into Davao.

In order to cover the Archangel, the entire Third Fleet was dispatched to escort the Archangel on its sea voyage.

Sure enough, after the Third Fleet started taking action, the underwater MS of the ZAFT Army that was responsible for surveillance outside Zamboanga discovered this unusual movement.

When the Third Fleet left the port and sailed southeastward, the ZAFT Navy underwater carrier located in the southeast of Morro Bay immediately took action.

Judging from the enemy's movement direction, it was obvious that they were heading towards General Santos City.

In fact, Wang Zhonghe deliberately took the original course in order to deceive Zaft and buy time.

After leaving the channel, the Third Fleet suddenly covered the surrounding area with a round of anti-submarine rockets, creating a lot of noise and bubbles.

This attack made the tracking underwater MS mistakenly think that it was exposed, so it had to temporarily give up tracking and enter a silent state.

When the dizzy MS resumed tracking, it was discovered that the fleet had already turned to the northeast route!

This sudden move caught the underwater mothership off guard after receiving the news.

They had already deployed a tight defense line along the southwest of Morro Bay, but now the opponent changed their course.

Although I don’t know why the Earth’s military fleet did this, it was to stop and attack the opponent.

The submarine carriers had to recycle the mobile suits that had been dispatched, and then hurried to catch up with the third fleet.

The Third Fleet, which turned to the northeast, sailed for more than 100 kilometers and once again made the same turn.

However, this time the fleet and the Archangel parted ways.

With the help of rocket depth charge explosion interference, the Archangel broke away from the water and continued flying northeast.

The Third Fleet turned directly to the west and sailed back to Zamboanga.

It wasn't until nearly an hour later that the underwater mobile suit, which noticed something was wrong, ventured out of the water to investigate and discovered this situation.

In the coalition fleet, that conspicuous figure disappeared!

"They dispersed?"

The ZAFT Army headquarters was a little stunned after receiving the news.

A ship as big as the Archangel cannot disappear for no reason.

After thinking, they concluded that the Earth Army wanted to go to Davao alone with long legs, but what effect could a single battleship and three mobile suits have on the battle situation?

Commander ZAFT, who was not yet aware of the problem, decided after thinking about it for a while.

Most of the underwater fleet that came forward was ordered to pursue the third fleet, and only one mothership was sent to search for the Archangel.

Marco, who got the order, was very angry about this.

As a frontline commander, he naturally understood that the combat power of the Archangel was a huge threat to the troops attacking Davao.

But since the command headquarters issued an order, he could only act according to the order.

So the five underwater carriers assembled were divided into two parts.

A large force of four ships went to chase the Third Fleet, leaving only one ship to chase the Archangel.

After leaving the water, the Archangel skimmed the sea and flew towards Pahrump.

"The Third Fleet called. Our military has detected the movement of ZAFT's underwater fleet. I wish you good luck."

Obviously, in order to cover them, the Third Fleet deliberately slowed down its speed.

“Call back and wish them good luck too.”

After Ma Su ordered a call back, he asked Baji Lulu.

"What's going on underwater now?"

Although the Third Fleet has already encountered the enemy, as long as Zaft is not stupid, it will definitely send troops to pursue the Archangel.

Bucky Lulu looked at Jackie, who was temporarily serving as a sonar soldier. He was wearing headphones and carefully identifying the voiceprints extracted by the towed sonar.

"No enemy has been found yet. It is presumed that the enemy has not yet entered the effective detection range."

"Continue to monitor, this ship continues to maintain the first level alert status. In another 2 hours, we will arrive in Pahrump."

After sailing for another distance, although there was no movement under the water, the enemy appeared in the sky.

"The ship's aircraft shadow appears at 6 o'clock, distance 50, quantity 3, characteristics comparison is Dean!"

"This ship has been interfered with!"

"The first combat configuration of all personnel."

Masuo immediately ordered.

"Bariant deploys, aiming back. Wombat missiles load tubes 7 to 12. Helldarts ready, Porcupine array deploys!"

Under the methodical command of Bucky Lulu, the Archangel opened its own fire net.

The long-range Wombat missile is fired first, followed by the railgun Barrient.

However, the missile without guidance did not pose much threat to the enemy.

After Dean, who had penetrated the two-layer blockade, approached, the Helldart short-range anti-aircraft missile was launched, accompanied by the strafing of the Porcupine Formation.

On the catapult located at the bow of the ship, the strike equipped with a wing backpack was the first to eject and take off.

Then came Mu and Cagalli flying the Air King.

Since it was an air battle, Mu chose to fly Air King 2 and carry a bombardment backpack.

The Cagalli aircraft carries a sword combat backpack and aerial combat shield.

"Alex, I'll leave the Archangel to you."

"receive."

After all three people had ejected, the heretic jumped out of the ejector and landed on the upper deck.

After landing, the Heretic half-knelt on the ground and allowed the maintenance team to insert the auxiliary cable into the charging port on the back of the aircraft.

In this way, the heresy can be guaranteed to extend its battery life.

Carrying the gun of greed, the machine body stood on the upper deck.

Alex waited patiently...

Dean was sent to harass and delay the Archangel, apparently because the submarine carrier could not catch up and had to do so.

Since Dean can be sent and interfered, it means that the distance between the two parties is not far.

Maybe soon, attacks from underwater MS will appear.

Two Air Dominators and air combat equipment attacked, and soon became entangled with three Deans.

"watch out!"

Kira seized the opportunity and threw the rocket anchor on her left arm towards a Dean.

This time the Assault was dispatched, it did not carry the usual shield of air combat equipment, but the rocket anchor of the sword combat backpack.

Needless to say, this was what Alex taught him. Regarding this sudden attack, Dean was caught off guard and was hit in the left leg.

And the left calf was completely crushed. Although losing a leg did not make the body unbalanced, it also slowed down Dean's speed.
