After picking up Aslan, Diego and Nicol, Cruze returned directly to the Carpentaria base, but only let Aslan, Diego and Nicol disembark.
and set sail again.
On the way back, Cruze had told the three of them that the three of them would be transferred from the Cruze team and transferred to the special service team directly under the National Defense Commission. They would directly return to the country to receive the latest cutting-edge aircraft. At the same time, the three of them would be awarded the Nebula Medal.
This result made the three of them a little overwhelmed, especially Nigel and Diego, because Aslan deserved to be rewarded. After all, he killed the attack, but they did not achieve much. Nigel
Er was directly captured in the Orb Sea, and Diego was even worse, almost dying in a surprise attack.
However, Cruze knew what Patrick Sala was planning. Wasn't it just to win over the remaining members and completely exclude Sigurd Klein from the Supreme Council?
Nicol's father is a member of the moderates, and Diego's father is a neutral but also close to the moderates. He promoted them by taking the opportunity of bringing the two back to the country safely, and at the same time, he transferred them to his direct subordinates.
Special Forces to take control.
Here is a joke. Among the four red-clothed people in the first generation, only Yitzhak’s mother was a loyal follower of Patrick Sara, so he did not need to use this method to win over and control Aisalia Jiul, so Yitzhak
Zach was left out by Patrick Sala.
"Congratulations, Yitzhak, you've been promoted." Diego teased.
"Diego! You bastard!" Yitzhak's mood at this time can no longer be described with the word "grievance". He was originally very happy when he learned that the three of them were still alive, but it didn't take long for Cruze to inform him.
Got promoted and became a captain.
Yitzhak originally thought that Aslan was demoted because the other three had the stain of being captured, and he was the only one who was intact. He took off, excited that he finally defeated Aslan for once.
He was petrified in the next second. Kruse told him that Aslan and the three others had been transferred to the troops directly under the National Defense Commission, leaving him alone in the Sala team.
With all three of them gone, what's the point of his promotion!? He wanted to ask Aslan, why did Diego and Nicol abandon him!?
"Okay, Diego, don't irritate Yitzhak." Nigel advised. He didn't understand why the superiors issued such an order, and he didn't want to be separated from his close companions, but he had no choice. As a soldier,
Must obey orders.
"Take care, Yitzhak."
"Hmph! You don't need to say anything, I won't be the one to take over, so just don't be embarrassed!"
"Plop~" Looking at Yitzhak, Aslan, Diego and Nicol at this moment, they realized that the nickname Yang Hui gave to Yitzhak was simply perfect and appropriate.
Due to the tight time limit of the National Defense Commission's transfer order, the three of them did not bring any more. They simply packed up and said goodbye to Yitzhak before boarding the transport plane bound for Kaohsiung Port.
"Wait, I'll be there soon! Next time I want you to be my subordinates, don't die before that!" Facing the setting sun, Yitzhak made up his mind as he watched the three people leave on the transport plane.
…
On the other side, the Voscuro-class submarine aircraft carrier on which Cruze was aboard rendezvoused with the submarine fleet lurking in the deep sea and moved quietly toward Alaska. Cruze himself was explaining the combat plan to everyone in the combat conference room.
"It is said that the Joshua Base in Alaska has a structure that can withstand a nuclear attack. However, nuclear weapons cannot be used now, and ZAFT does not intend to use them. If they want to carry out an attack, they must invade the inner space called the [Great Hollow]. This is absolutely impossible."
It is not an easy task. As a reconnaissance force, our troops cannot act rashly. We must always keep abreast of the latest intelligence on Alaska. This reconnaissance is a special mission. We must act in secret. If we want to share our adventure stories with others, we must wait until after the war."
"Yes!"XN
"After all, you never guess where the information will be leaked." Kruse whispered to himself in a low voice, with the corners of his mouth raised in a dangerous arc.
"Yang Hui, I'm making a move, what are you going to do?"
…
Orb Ministry of Defense, Yang Hui quickly walked into the general headquarters.
"How's it going?"
"The ZAFT army's space fleet has stopped. There is a problem with its stopping position." Huang marked the location of the ZAFT space fleet on the combat map.
"This location... is about to start." Looking at the logo on the combat map, Yang Hui's eyes were solemn.
"Your Excellency, the Commander, Your Excellency, the Chief of General Staff, and the analysis results of the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department, the target of the ZAFT army is indeed Panama." A staff officer said to Yang Hui and the emperor.
"No, it's not Panama." Huang shook his head in denial.
"This...how could it not be Panama?" All the officers present looked at the emperor in disbelief. The staff officer also marked the trajectory of the ZAFT fleet's descent operation. The landing location was the Panama Space Port.
"You have preconceived ideas." Yang Hui shook his head and said, "The ZAFT Army has been sending signals from the beginning, telling everyone clearly that they are going to attack Panama in a big way, so you all fell into a misunderstanding as the ZAFT Army expected.
"
After speaking, Yang Hui drew another descent route based on the existing signs, which shocked all the officers present and couldn't close their jaws.
"The target of the ZAFT army is the Atlantic Federation General Headquarters! Joshua, Alaska!"
"This is the genius of Patrick Sala. Panama and Alaska, before they launched, no one knew which target they were targeting."
As he spoke, Yang Hui called up the Earth's combat map and marked the deployment and mobilization status of the Earth Army and ZAFT Army.
"Now, the main fleet of the Earth Army has gone to Panama. Apart from the most basic resident troops and defense facilities, there are no other guarding forces in the Alaska base." Huang said to everyone, "So the ZAFT army will never let this go.
Chances are, the target is the Joshua base in Alaska, 90%."
"Commander, Chief of General Staff, what should we do?" The officers asked Yang Hui and Huang with bright eyes. They are Orbu people. They don't like war, but after learning that Orbu will definitely be involved in the vortex of war, they will not
Fear of war.
"The entire army is stepping up training, especially the coordinated operations between MS units and other units. The first, second, and third fleets are on standby at coordinates S41 to prevent the ZAFT army from the Carpentaria base from retaliating. The fleet commander is Ser.
Rear Admiral Ta will be in charge. The Fourth and Fifth Fleets will expand horizontally from A09 to E34, and the First MS Group will accompany them to prevent the battle in Alaska from spreading to Orb. Rear Admiral Todaka, you will be the fleet commander."
"Yes!" X2
"Commander, do you have anything else to add?" Huang asked Yang Hui. Although Yang Hui had handed over the command of the army to the emperor, Yang Hui's military rank and status were above hers, so even an unmarried couple had to show off.
.
"The special mobile suit squadron will accompany the fourth fleet and wait for opportunities to perform secret missions. The first, second, and third fleets will bring the first special mobile suit group and the second mobile suit group to accompany them. Rear Admiral Celta, if there is a chance, use humane means to
They brought down Port Morbiz and Papua New Guinea on the pretext of humanitarian aid.”
"!"
Except for the emperor, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Yang Hui's appetite to be so big.
"But commander, that is the area occupied by the ZAFT army, and it is too close to the Carpentaria base. What if the ZAFT army turns around and attacks us?" asked a staff officer.
"I just want to threaten the Carpentaria base so that they don't dare to act rashly." Yang Hui said with a ruthless face.
Yang Hui has been coveting this land close to Orb for a long time. After taking Papua New Guinea, he controls the Torres Strait. The Gibraltar base loses the ability to move eastward, and it can also face the Carpentaria base across the sea.
Limit the actions of ZAFT forces.
At the same time, it is the largest land around Obu except Australia. It is too big for Obu to eat, but the small Papua New Guinea is still no problem. This will be Obu’s third land and it is also an important population gathering place.
Earth, if Orb wants to be on top of the world, it will definitely not work with its current size. If it wants to increase its size, it must expand. If Australia can't bear it, it will take over other land countries in the Oceania Federation, and exclude those that are too far away from Orb.
As far away as Zealand, starting from Papua New Guinea and all the way to India and West, they are all included in Yang Hui's plan.
The current attack on Papua New Guinea is also to accommodate more Orb nationals. After all, the Orb homeland will be occupied by the Atlantic Federation in a short period of time, but the giant floating platform cannot accommodate so many nationals in one place. In order to retain the few Orb nationals,
Orb citizens, it is necessary to find another piece of land.
The Federation of Oceania is now occupied by the ZAFT army, and the government has fallen apart. They will seize this opportunity to encroach on their territory. The local people will only regard Orb as a liberator, not an invader. As long as subsequent officials can keep up, the local people in power will
Elevate it before you realize it, and these lands will completely belong to Orb.
Moreover, the location of this territory is special. It blocks all the eastward march routes of Australia's ZAFT army and has become a roadblock between the ZAFT army and the Atlantic Federation. Yang Hui believes that the Atlantic Federation will not mind if Orb becomes the leader for them.
Roadblock.
As for what the senior officials of the Oceania Federation who have fled abroad think, who cares?
"...Understood!" Major General Guetta accepted the order. He was actually very excited, because this was a huge achievement, and it just hit him on the head.
"Go and execute it. The code name of this operation is [Operation Liberation]."
"Yes!"XN
After the combat meeting, Yang Hui and Huang immediately went to find Uzmi. Not only Uzmi, but also the heads of the five major Orb families were present. This matter related to the country and whether Orb could take a step forward from the shrinking island nation.
The first step to climb to the top is to get their approval.
However, it was not beyond their expectations at all. When they told the clan leaders about the [Liberation Operation], everyone except Old Sahak disapproved of it.
