At this time, Malu also summoned everyone from the Archangel, together with the Earth Army who came to Orb with the Archangel. Although they had not made a decision, none of them left Orb.
.
"Currently, the Earth United Army's fleet is heading towards Orb. If Orb refuses the Earth Army's joint crusade against PLANT, it will be regarded as a supporter of ZAFT. This is the reason."
"What is this!?" After hearing this, some people in the team immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. They were chilled by the Atlantic Federation. At this time, from the perspective of bystanders, they all expressed dissatisfaction with the Atlantic Federation's gangster style.
"The Orb government wants to insist on implementing a neutral stance and is still working hard at diplomatic mediation. Unfortunately, judging from the current actions taken by the Earth Army, it can only be said that this battle is inevitable. Orb knows that the battle is unavoidable.
The government of Burundi has moved all its citizens abroad. Now, only senior government officials and the military are left in the country. They have entered a state of national defense to prepare for emergencies. Similarly, we must also make a choice."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became very complicated. It was not because they might have to fight with former friendly forces, but because some people no longer wanted to stay in the army. They were afraid of being abandoned again and being abandoned again.
Use as bait or cannon fodder.
"Now, with the Archangel and other battleships acting as escape ships, our own situation is also very delicate. How should we respond to Orb's current situation? No one orders us, and at the same time, we do not have the authority to order you.
"
Although it was Ma Liu who spoke first, several captains behind her nodded in approval. They are no longer soldiers of the Earth Army, so naturally there is no superior-subordinate relationship.
"If it is really impossible to avoid the battle, the battle will begin at 0900 tomorrow morning. Should we fight to protect Orb or make other choices? We must make our own choice. Therefore, if any crew members want to leave the ship,
Please leave immediately, the last Orb ship transporting nationals will depart at 0700 tonight."
"The same goes for the crew of this ship."
"The same goes for this ship."
The captains all echoed that they had actually made a choice, just like the Archangel, to stay in Orb and stand up. As for the crew's decision, they would not interfere.
"I'm really grateful to you for following me, an unreliable captain like me."
Not only Malu bowed 90 degrees to the crew, but Mu, Baki Lulu, and other captains also did the same.
As captains, they are all unqualified, because the captain is responsible for the entire crew of the ship. During their trip to the Archangel, Malu, Mu, and Bucky Lulu were just trying to catch up, and they also made some mistakes during the trip.
It was not a wrong decision, and the other captains failed to see the conspiracy of the military brass and almost took their crew to the Joshua base.
At this point, everyone dispersed with different thoughts. Ma Liu and others knew that someone would definitely leave the ship, but they also understood each other's thoughts. If too many people left, it would be impossible to maintain the normal operation of a battleship.
They will also stay, either joining other battleships to fight alongside them, or applying to the Orb Army to join them directly.
As expected, half of the people chose to leave, but the Archangel had 11 people including Kaz, and there were more other warships. There were only a few warships with few people left.
After learning about this situation, Yang Hui immediately found them.
"I already understand the situation. Thank you very much for your willingness to stay and fight for Orb."
"No, this is what we should do." Ma Liu replied, Yu Gong and Orb took them in when they were homeless and ensured their safety. This kindness needs to be repaid; Yu Zi, because
Yang Hui himself and Ma Liu will also stay.
"Then there are two paths for you to choose from, especially you guys. Your ship doesn't have enough crew members, right?" Yang Hui looked at several unfamiliar captains.
"Yes." It's a bit embarrassing. Although I understand the crew's choice, if they have gone so far at once, doesn't it mean that all my subordinates are cowards?
"My idea is this. The Orb army does not lack a few naval warships to join. In addition to the Archangel, I personally recommend that you take your warships to the giant floating platform or Papua New Guinea and join the local Orb fleet.
Establishment, as the spark of Orb's rebirth and waiting for the opportunity, this is the first choice; the second option is to join the Orb army's establishment now and rearrange military positions." Yang Hui said to everyone present, especially those on ordinary battleships.
Captain and crew.
What they brought was the Arkansas-class and Des Moines-class mobile cruisers, which were similar to Orb's Kuramigami-class. Although they didn't want to use cannon fodder to describe them, that was the fact.
Moreover, if these warships come into play, they may be used as key attack targets, accelerating their demise.
So simply abandon these battleships, break them up and incorporate them into the Orb army, or save their strength and let them go to the giant floating platform or Papua New Guinea to temporarily avoid the limelight, and then return when the Orb is reborn.
Several people looked at each other with complicated expressions. Although they did not feel malice or derogation from Yang Hui, there was indeed a bit of contempt in his words. What made them most uncomfortable was that this was also a fact that they had to admit.
.
"Everyone, please decide as soon as possible." Yang Hui urged, because there is no time to waste now. "If you choose one, please be prepared to escort the transport ship that the citizens are on to leave Orb tonight."
Locally; if you choose second, I will arrange your positions immediately."
"...Your Excellency Yang Hui, please allow us to discuss this. It won't take too long, just ten minutes."
"good."
Yang Hui stood up and left, and Ma Liu followed Yang Hui, leaving space for them to discuss. After all, she would stay with the Archangel, so it would be inconvenient for her to participate in their conversation.
"Yang Hui... Is Orb's battle really inevitable?" Ma Liu asked worriedly. She had indeed witnessed Orb's power, but this power also has its limits. Compared with the behemoth of the Atlantic Federation,
It doesn't really look like anything.
"You still don't know the request made by the Atlantic Federation, right?"
"What's the requirement? Isn't it just a mass accelerator?"
"The Atlantic Federation demands that the Orb government be dissolved, the army be disbanded, and... hand me over," Yang Hui said.
"How could this happen!?" Malu really didn't know about this. They only knew that the Atlantic Federation's troops were coming, but they had no idea that the Atlantic Federation had actually put forward such outrageous conditions. Not only did they want Orb to destroy the country,
, and Yang Hui! It’s just this latter request that Ma Liu couldn’t accept.
"So, the battle between Orb and the Atlantic Federation cannot be avoided, and..."
Even if you can avoid the battle between Orb and the Atlantic Federation, you cannot avoid it. If you avoid it this time, can you avoid it next time? Once his back is broken, Orb will always be at the mercy of others.
Therefore, [White Pigeon Plan] is imperative, and this battle must be fought!
"Is there... a chance of winning?" Ma Liu worriedly asked. She really couldn't find where Orb's chance of winning was, but she thought that Yang Hui had decided so, and there must be a way.
"There is no chance of winning this battle."
"That……"
"But Orb, there is still hope."
"..." Ma Liu hugged Yang Hui gently and put her chin on his shoulder, "I will help you."
Ma Liu didn't know what to say. She knew Yang Hui must have a plan, but she didn't know the details of the plan. All she could do now was support Yang Hui and help Yang Hui.
"Don't worry, my plan will not fail. We will all live to witness Orb's new life."
"Then we go to Promes Fortress together and travel to other worlds together." Of course, these words were not spoken out loud, but Yang Hui's thoughts in his heart.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Yang Hui also got their answers.
"Your Excellency Yang Hui, we choose the first path."
"Okay, please be prepared and set off tonight. I will notify Gaeltacht that someone will receive you after you go."
"Thanks."
Everyone dispersed to prepare for the night voyage. Yang Hui understood their choice and understood their thoughts. In fact, they were not optimistic about Orb's situation. They did not want to be buried with Orb. The first path they chose was to find one for themselves.
A way to survive, but also to leave a way for myself to fall back, to witness whether the Orb country can still exist and whether it can still be reborn. The current Orb is not qualified to let them risk their lives to protect it, even if they are kind to them.
After seeing them off, Yang Hui and Ma Liu came to the Archangel together. Since the Archangel came to Orb, except for meeting Kira and others in the hospital, he has not had a good meeting with these companions. He is too busy.
Already.
"Yang Hui, are you here?"
"Well, how's it going?"
"It's not bad. Orb is still so peaceful, but this peace won't last long."
"Don't worry, even if it is broken, it will not be wiped out. As long as people are still alive, there is hope."
"As expected of a big shot, you speak so high-end, our lives are in your hands."
"Keep your heart in your stomach, I want you to work for me for the rest of your life."
…
After chatting casually, Yang Hui said goodbye to everyone. The Atlantic Federation fleet was close at hand, and he had to go to the Ministry of National Defense for final confirmation to see how the emperor's arrangements were.
"The deployment plan has been completed, please take a look." As she spoke, Huang marked her deployment plan on the combat map, along with the predicted route of the Atlantic Federation fleet.
"What a pity. If there were special mobile suits in the water, we could have ambushed them in this place first." Yang Hui said helplessly as he looked at a sea area. This sea area is very special. There are many reefs on the seabed, which is very convenient for special mobile suits to hide in the water.
, will not be detected in advance by the sonar system, and the Atlantic Federation currently does not have underwater power, so it has almost no defense against specialized mobile suits in the water.
"Deploy another layer of anti-aircraft firepower in this area." Yang Hui designated another area behind the port's defense line, because in Yang Hui's memory, in addition to the maritime fleet, the Atlantic Federation also had airdrop troops, which also led to the collapse of the Orb defense line.
The biggest reason.
"Here... airdrop troops?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately mobilized his troops to complete Orb's defense circle.
