Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 125: The Great Whirlpool Enveloping Three Parties
The time of peace is always short-lived. As the repair progress of the Grips II colony satellite cannon continues, the provocation of the Titans in the surrounding space is also increasing.

At this time, after two defeats, the Titans seemed to treat Neo Zeon as a formidable enemy. According to Haman's intelligence, the Titans have already come out in full force to destroy Neo Zeon. The troops originally stationed in various space domains are constantly gathering, forming a huge fleet of more than 200 warships ready to crush Neo Zeon in one fell swoop.

Red was also stunned when he saw the scale of the Titans' newly assembled fleet. The Titans at this time were truly arrogant.

Around the Grips II colonial satellite cannon, apart from the fleet of Paptimas Silok and the Basque Om fleet of nearly a hundred ships, a large fleet of more than two hundred ships could be mobilized from the rear.

Even though Paptimas Sciroc had returned more than 20 Musai-class battleships to the current Neo Zeon, it was still like a child facing an adult when facing the Basque Orm fleet. If Basque Orm had not been afraid that Paptimas Sciroc would attack him from behind when attacking Neo Zeon, he would have attacked long ago.

It can be said that if the Titans' backup fleet arrives, the number of ships in the Neo Zeon Gaug fleet will not be as many as that of the Titans. (It is not an exaggeration. In the 0083 period, the fleet gathered at the Solomon Fleet Review was as high as 500-1000 ships [the minimum and maximum numbers that I can find relatively reasonable data]. Given the Titans' voice, its total armament number would not be less than 60% of the Federation fleet at that time)

With such a huge number, AEUG was panicked. After they solved the problem of Axis, they rushed to the space near Grips II and did not settle accounts with Hamman first. Instead, they sent people to negotiate, because AEUG was afraid that after the Titans' army crushed Neo Zeon, they would also crush themselves.

AEUG knew very well that the only way to turn the tables on the Titans now was the colonial satellite cannon. Although the Titans' large fleet assembly this time was terrifying, it did give them an opportunity. As long as they could eliminate the troops and support fleet here with one shot, the Titans would lose most of their strength, and the offensive and defensive momentum would be directly reversed. They would lose all possibility of a comeback.

However, to Red's surprise, Aug didn't just look for Harman this time, an old friend secretly found Aries and came up.

Honestly, when Red received the news that a Rem escorting the AEUG delegation was floating near the Aries, he thought it was a suicide bomb attack and almost ordered the machine to be shot down.

Fortunately, after entering the sensitive airspace, the other side immediately initiated communication with Red, and the one driving the Rem was actually Char, who wanted to talk to Red.

As soon as Red heard this, he knew that Char had bad intentions. He knew Haman, and Haman knew that Red would become suspicious after meeting Char in private.

So Red took advantage of the situation and prepared to talk directly to Char in the MS from the bridge. Of course, Red also connected Aries and Haman's private communications directly at the same time. Anyway, she was planning to wait for a while before meeting with the AEUG delegation.

Red came to the bridge after the bridge was ready, and then pretended to say to Char on the communication line:
"Char Aznable, why are you looking for me privately at this time?"

At this time, Xia Ya really came to negotiate and asked directly
"Red Isaac, I just want to ask. Why are you helping Haman now that you have completely escaped and hidden in the darkness?"

Red said that this question was completely incomprehensible. Given the identity assigned by the system, it was normal for him to help the returning Neo Zeon.

Fearing that Char might be setting traps in his questions, Red frowned and answered:

"Stupid question. Do I need to explain to you, a member of the Earth Federation, who I want to help?"

Seeing that Red was not cooperating, and knowing that his patience was limited, Char got straight to the point and asked again:

"Red Isaac, there is only one question I want to confirm. Do you want to help His Highness Minerva or Harman Kahn?"

As soon as Red heard this question, he knew what Char meant. He came to cooperate with him. He wanted to take Minerva away and put her in a safe place before the war, just like in the original story.

So Red didn't answer Char's question directly, but asked

"I understand. You think that Princess Minerva won't get a good education if she stays with Haman, so you want to take her away, right?"

In response to this question, Xia also asked

"Isn't it? Red Isaac, do you think it's really suitable for Her Highness Minerva to follow Haman? Her ambition is constantly expanding. When it expands to a certain extent, Her Highness Minerva's safety may not be guaranteed. If she is unwilling to be a puppet when she grows up, her fate will be either to be killed by Haman or to be placed under permanent house arrest."

When Red heard what Char said, he knew that she must be angry without even looking at the expression on Harman's split screen. She still had feelings for Minerva, otherwise Harman would not have allowed Char to take Minerva to Ganquan Colony Satellite for protection.

So Reid answered directly
“Char, you’ve wrongly blamed Haman. She doesn’t regard Her Highness Minerva as a puppet. Their relationship is actually closer than you think.

Of course, I don't deny that if one day Prince Minerva wants to rebel against Haman, she might put Prince Minerva under house arrest.

But, Char, you came to me to tell me this because you want me to help you take away Lady Minerva. How can you prove that Lady Minerva will live better with you than she does now? And you won't treat her as a puppet."

Red's words left Char speechless, because he really had no way of telling Red about his plan.

In Char's eyes, Red was not trustworthy either. He must have his own ambitions for showing up at this time. If he rashly exposed Minerva's location to Red, Char was afraid that Red would sneak in and steal Minerva one day, and then accuse him of harming Minerva.

Seeing that Char was silent, Red knew that Char was just trying to use him and had no sincerity at all, so he taunted him.
"Char, it seems that you don't have a suitable plan. At the same time, you are just using His Highness Minerva to achieve your own goals. I am very disappointed in you. I thought you were at least a little sincere to His Highness Minerva.

Well, in that case, I'm done talking to you. I suggest you run quickly, or you'll be shot down right away after I notify Haman."

After saying that, Red hung up the call with Char, and then said to Harman, who was already furious on the split screen:

"Haman, don't be angry yet. Char's words reminded me. It is indeed not appropriate for His Highness Minerva to stay here any longer. We are about to turn this into a three-way battlefield.

Although we are all confident of victory, Her Highness Minerva should still find a way to send her to the rear. In case something unexpected happens to us, don't let a little girl get involved."

Reid's words calmed Harman's anger. After all, she would not lose her temper with Reid easily. After a moment of silence, she said
"I understand. I'll find a substitute to pretend to be Her Highness Minerva. Then I'll send Her Highness Minerva to a safe place. By the way, Red, do you have any suggestions?"

Reid just shook his head and replied
"No, the place I hid in was not suitable for children. In order to prevent the outside world from discovering me, I kept changing three parties to communicate with the outside world. None of those three parties were trustworthy.

However, I suggest you talk to Char about this issue. Since he wants to take Her Majesty Minerva away, at least he must have prepared a safe place to stay. We can use it first. By the way, Hamman, don't really shoot down Char in a rage. We still need the AEUG and the Titans to get involved, and we can't really offend both of them at the same time."

Harman knew that he couldn't force AEUG to attack him from both sides under the current situation, so he could only suppress his anger and answer.

"Got it. I will spare Char's life today. But I will definitely find a chance to kill him in the future."

Seeing that Haman was really murderous, Red stopped trying to persuade him. It would be great if Char was so easy to kill. Besides, Haman was probably just saying this in anger.

So Reid answered directly:

"Alright, you can decide how to communicate with the AEUG later. The main body of the colony satellite cannon has been repaired. Now all that's missing is the cover. I estimate that it will be put into use in the next two days. That's all. I'm going to hang up first."

After saying that, Red hung up the call after seeing Harman nod.

Red really didn't participate in the subsequent second negotiation between Haman and Aug, but Haman and Aug obviously didn't reach an agreement, but there were no important figures in the delegation. Haman still released the people.

As for Char, he had no results in communicating with Red, so he could only talk to Haman again. Then Haman sent His Highness Minerva away from the line blocked by AEUG on a transport boat, and found a substitute in the ship to continue to act as a puppet.

But this was probably the last cooperation between Hamman and Char. After the negotiation between Neo Zeon and AEUG failed, AEUG was completely worried about Neo Zeon continuing to hold the colony satellite cannon. After the delegation returned, a large army surrounded them the next day and prepared to start a fight.

Basque Om would naturally not sit idly by with such a good opportunity.

Paptimas Silok calculated that the time was almost up, and he did not want to drag down Basque Om any longer. He led his men to retreat far away, as if he had been defeated.

The brainless Basque Om might have really thought that Paptimas Silok was scared, so he didn't chase him and give him a fatal blow.

Instead, he ordered his troops to attack the fleets of AEUG and Neo Zeon. He wanted to fight both sides to establish his prestige in ruling the Titans in the future.

The original work's Great Whirlpool Battle started directly and turned into a three-way melee.

As the main force of Neo Zeon, Red naturally chose to face the larger Titans fleet directly. This is definitely not because Red thinks that the Titans are the soft persimmons, but the Gundam team led by Z Gundam is too difficult to chew, so he is ready to crush the soft ones first.

However, Red had witnessed the strength of the Titans this time. Since the Titans knew that Neo Zeon had an invisible enemy that specialized in attacking battleships, they did not dare to approach and engage in a fleet battle.

Instead, they dispatched a massive number of MSs to push forward, with as many as fifty or sixty of them in the first batch, which was even more ruthless than when they fought the Argama Gundam team.

So when Red led his team and thirty-two newly produced High Zakus of Neo Zeon (although this one was just a Zaku shell, Neo Zeon had a choice and chose this machine with a stronger sense of déjà vu as a temporary main machine) to face the Titans' large force, they were suppressed immediately.

Red clearly felt that the opponent he encountered this time was much stronger than the one he encountered during the Abawaku Fortress blocking battle. Many machines could no longer be killed at will, but required several shots to hit one. The cooperation of the opposing team was also extremely tacit, which made Red's team feel constrained.

Although his helpers have been replaced by Gozaku, these Zeon soldiers are still rookies, so don't expect them to have any tacit cooperation.

At this point, Red finally understood why the protagonists and the large army in the UC world all preferred close combat when fighting MS battles. Because close combat is the combat method that best reflects the difference in the function of the machines.

Seeing that the efficiency of long-range shooting was too low, if he continued fighting like this, all the Neo Zeon High Zakus he brought with him would soon be wiped out.

So Red and Angel decided to rush in for close combat and break through the enemy's formation.

Red was seen turning on the thrusters of the Secret Thunder to the maximum, concentrating on dodging the various beams of light, and constantly cutting through the unavoidable beams to clear a path for himself.

It must be said here that Red believes that if he is still driving the NT-X, he will most likely not be able to break through these beam barrages. After all, when fighting in the Legion Battle with the Freedom Gundam's mobility, there are situations where he has to cut the beams with a knife to ensure his survival (the same is true for the Strike Freedom. Without a shield, he basically cannot face the assault of a large force and can only dodge and shoot back).

Therefore, relatively weaker machines such as Jingyi Jingbaofan and NT-X can only provide artillery support for Red and Angel in the rear at this time, and must wait for Red and Angel to open a gap before they can launch a surprise attack.

But this is enough. Once they get close, the Titans' barrage advantage cannot be used, unless they play Russian rescue and shoot their own people. It is better to shoot down friendly forces than to let friendly forces become the enemy's kill count.

Fortunately, the Titans were not that crazy. After Red got close, he only had to face the all-round siege of four or five machines at the same time. Compared with the overwhelming light beams, the pressure was much less.

With Red's current reaction value and the huge difference in the performance of his machines, this kind of siege is not very threatening. Before the enemy can react, his own machine is often already missing limbs.

The clever one who wants to use his machine to suicide-carry himself from the blind spot of the Secret Thunder to restrict its movements will experience the feeling of Zeon soldiers fighting Amuro during the One Year War.

Under the perception of the new humans, Red is not afraid of sneak attacks. The high-temperature double swords amplified by the lambda drive are like blazing fire. With a backhand, he can cut those guys who want to sneak attack in half.

The situation was similar for Angie. Although she couldn't have eyes on her back, the difference in the two machines and driving skills was too great. Wherever they went, they saw Titans' bodies with their arms, legs and heads flying around. Then what awaited them was the shooting of the Neo Zeon MS behind them. For a moment, it was like an explosion chasing the Immortal Aegis.

Thus, under the assault of Red and Angel, the Titans' front line was penetrated.

In a large-scale MS battle, having one side's front line penetrated is a serious matter, especially since the other mobile suits in Red's team have also begun to show their power.

The three Amazing Gundams of the Black Tristars immediately found an opportunity to combine into one again, widening the gap opened by Red and Angel. Then Aries and the four frigates on the left and right coordinated with the firepower of the Wing Gundam and NT-X to cut off the Titans' MS forces again. The Neo Zeon's Gozaku rushed forward again, and it seemed that the Titans' first wave of attack forces was about to be annihilated by Red's side.
