Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 187: Operation Elvis Begins, the Scrap Merchants Association Secretly Joins the Three-Fleet Alliance
The East Asian Republic played all its cards, and as the mass accelerator at Gaoxiong Port was repaired in the last half month (it had been under repair for more than half a year, not just half a month), a space fleet consisting of thirty Kunpeng warships and hundreds of supply ships gathered in the Earth's outer orbit.

Afterwards, the Eurasian Federation also completed the assembly of its space army through the mass accelerator in Victoria Harbor as agreed. However, compared with the East Asian Republic, the Eurasian Federation was simply a beggar. Their fleet was still composed of Nelson-class and Drake-class ships, and there were not many Agamemnon-class ships.

The troop transport warships were basically modified from the Antietam-class cargo ships that had been delivered to the New Mislchi Kingdom. In order to ensure the MS carrying capacity, these ships were not even equipped with main guns, but only with some anti-aircraft machine guns.

Likewise, the new Misrchi Kingdom assembled above Australia is also unusually conspicuous.

After the East Asian Republic took out the Kunpeng-class battleship, Red felt a little uneasy about not having the Balki in this battle, so he decided to build the Gulansao.

Now Red could build warships openly, and in less than a week he completed the construction and assembly of all the modules of Gulanshao.

As a Wannian Peace-class battleship, Gulan Shao is not as big as the 3000-meter-long Wannian Peace, but it is still 2000 meters long. The ship also has a factory capable of manufacturing small weapons and equipment.

At the same time, the Gulanshao also has the same electronic camouflage system as the Wannian Heping, which can achieve visual invisibility.

The countries of the Earth reacted indifferently to the fact that the New Mischi Kingdom had produced another super-large ship, even though this ship was obviously built in Australia.

After all, it is a fact tacitly acknowledged by all countries that the New Mislichi Kingdom builds its armaments at an extremely fast speed. With the 8000-meter-class Balki Jade Pearl in front, there is nothing surprising about a 2000-meter-class battleship.

Seeing that the reactions from various countries were mediocre, Red didn't care too much and transferred Brian Eno from the Balki to the Gulansao as captain.

At the same time, he was also the fleet commander of this expedition.

It's just that Brian Eno is only ranked third in the fleet in terms of position. There's nothing he can do. With Letty looking after the house, our Queen Angelique insisted on leading the army in person, and Red couldn't persuade her, so he had to take her along. Brian Eno can no longer be the third in command.

Fortunately, neither Red nor Angel will stay in the Gransao for a long time. It is staffed with the elite team newly brought by Noin and the MS pilots and Frey who graduated from the Officer Academy during the Hoshigiya period.

Red and Angie usually stay with the Xia sisters on the Argama-class where Hoshino Ruri is, while the Black Tri-Stars stay at home this time.

After all, the system set them up as originally from PLANT, so it seemed normal not to include them when fighting PLANT natively.

After half a month of running-in training, the five Delta Plus pilots, except for the newly joined Salia and Hilda, the remaining three are elite pilots brought by Mina from Orb.

The three were Lars Winslet, who had been a tester for ZAFT's mobile suits in the Arctic (she was a tester of the Baku prototype), and two adjusters who had once belonged to the Orb International Rescue Team, Ya Ott Kiyo and Ken Nolan Suss.

Lars Winslet's joining of Miner's team is similar to the original plot, but the process is heavily influenced by Red.

Because Red had talked to Siegel and Patrick about the Battle of the Suez Canal in the Star Palace Colony Satellite, and directly mentioned the existence of Baku, Patrick went back and screened the entire army for spies, trying to find the leak of intelligence.

Lars Winslet, a Scandinavian, was the test pilot of the TMF/A-802 Baku prototype.

So she was the first one to be suspected, and was placed under house arrest for a long time before ZAFT released her because there was no evidence. However, she was definitely kicked out of the testing team.

After returning to the Scandinavian Kingdom, Lars Winslet was not very popular in the Scandinavian Kingdom due to his assistance to ZAFT. After all, none of the Earth countries that had the neutron jammer had a good impression of PLANT.

So Lars Winslet had to move to Orb with his father.

But this was not a wise choice, as his father was killed during the Atlantic Federation's invasion of Orb, and Lars Winslet was imprisoned by the Atlantic Federation.

Mina released her during her regent period. Lars Winslet hated the Earth Union, and he could not go back on PLANT that did not trust him, so it was natural for him to follow Mina and surrender to the New Misluchi Kingdom.

As for Ya Ott Jiyang and Ken Nolan Susse, their countries were destroyed, so the so-called international rescue team naturally became a joke. Ob itself was the country that needed to be rescued.

So Mina recaptured them with a transfer order. After all, there was really nothing to remember about Orb, who was so stubborn as to destroy a country, in the minds of the people and middle and lower-level civil servants.

After the fleet was prepared, Red set out according to the agreement and circled from the fifth universe where the Star Palace colony satellite was located to the third universe where PLANT was located to attract the attention of the ZAFT space army.

The joint fleet of the East Asian Republic and the Eurasian Federation will first go to the moon to join the Atlantic Federation fleet, and then set out together from the second universe directly to the PLANT mainland.

However, while Red was on his way around the Fifth Universe as planned, he suddenly received a letter from Malu, a native he had sent to the Archangel. The letter contained only one sentence:
"The Waste Merchants joined the war, providing supplies and combat personnel to the Three Ship Alliance. The Strike Gundam was assigned to the former Atlantic Federation ace pilot [Shining Star J] Jiang Kelly. Two mercenaries from the Serpent's Tail were also assigned to assist in the battle."

After receiving the news, Red sneered, indicating that the Waste Merchants Association could no longer hold back.

In fact, the nature of the Scrap Merchants Association is similar to the military industry of the Atlantic Federation.

The more intense the war, the richer the Scrap Merchants Association will be. Moreover, the Scrap Merchants Association in the CE Universe has privileges, so they absolutely do not want PLANT to be completely destroyed by the Earth Union and for the Earth Union to have the final say in the universe in the future.

Because in this way, as long as the Earth Union wants, the Scrap Merchants Association will be replaced in a minute. After all, collecting space waste is a job that anyone can do. Why should you, the Scrap Merchants Association, be the middleman and make a lot of money?

As for how the Scrap Merchants Association got together with Lux, the original book basically makes it clear.

The blind mentor Marchio, who has "old friends" everywhere in the Earth circle, has made an effort. Only he can convince the Scrap Merchants Association to support the seemingly weakest Three Ship Alliance.

Although the Three Ships Alliance did not maintain neutrality at all in the original work, except for the bombing of Genesis in the final battle of the first season, most of the time it was biased towards PLANT.

However, Red actually did not plan to attack the Scrap Merchants Association in the short term. This cunning group of guys would not leave the head and tail alone, and the people who came to support this time were either mercenaries or abandoned pawns. They could not be used as evidence that the Scrap Merchants Association did not implement the neutrality policy. As for the blind mentor Marchio, Red really knew very little about him. It can be said that this person is one of the most mysterious people in the CE universe.

Therefore, Red did not reply to Malu's letter, because Red did not know where the Three Ship Alliance was. They must have left the place where the natives disembarked long ago.

The reason why Malu was able to pass the information to Red was naturally that Red had already told Malu the route he was going to take. She could arrange for herself to be a native ground crew member of the Archangel, and when supplies were being replenished, she could quietly leave on a transport boat to pass on the message.

Of course, if Marlu can pass messages to Red, Lux can naturally also pass messages to PLANT.

Patrick Sala received a letter in the Speaker's office, a letter written by Aslan himself, and some photos.

The Scrap Dealers Association is also very powerful. They actually got photos of the Atlantic Federation loading nuclear bombs on the moon.

In the letter, Athrun clearly stated that the anti-neutron jammer did not come from the Freedom Gundam and the Justice Gundam, and warned to be careful of the Atlantic Federation's nuclear bomb attack.

At the same time, Aslan also made it clear that there are definitely spies in the upper echelons of the ZAFT military who are in contact with the Atlantic Federation.

Patrick Sarah read the letter and was angry at first, then slightly relieved, and finally furious.

The initial anger was naturally directed at Aslan, the unfilial son, who not only disobeyed orders but also followed Lacus Clyne everywhere. Don't you know that you and Lacus Clyne are no longer engaged, but enemies?
The subsequent relief was naturally the relief that Aslan at least had not fallen. With this letter, at least his life could be saved when he was brought to the military court after the war. At that time, he could just suffer a little and grow up before being released.

Yes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Even though Patrick Sala had shot Aslan in anger before, he still felt a little regretful after calming down.

Moreover, Patrick Sala subconsciously did not hit the vital parts, but only scratched them. Otherwise, if Aslan was shot in the shoulder and injured his muscles and bones, he would definitely not be able to escape.

The last rage was naturally directed at the Atlantic Federation. I didn't expect that the Atlantic Federation would dare to use nuclear bombs again. It seemed that the lesson of the neutron jammer was not enough, and they had to be given a hard lesson by the Genesis, which was about to be completed.

So, Patrick Sala called his staff together and worked out a plan to defend against the enemy overnight.

At this time, Red didn't know that Patrick Sala was already prepared for the nuclear bomb, and the three-ship alliance had already begun to surge as an undercurrent behind the scenes.

Red's mentality now is to wait for the Earth Union and PLANT to start the big show. He will stay on the sidelines first, and after Genesis fires the first shot at the Earth Union, he will immediately launch a surprise attack on Genesis.

Therefore, when Red circled to the junction of the fifth and third cosmic domains, he did not advance rashly, but instead sent two previously mass-produced Wing Gundams (driven by immigrant pilots from the New Mischi Kingdom) with electronic camouflage systems to explore the way ahead.

It would have been better if they hadn't explored it. Once they had explored it, they found that ZAFT had almost no troops deployed in the direction of their advance. ZAFT's space army should have been transferred to the Boyaz Fortress and the Yakin Duvi Fortress.

Of course, it is impossible for Patrick Sala to easily get around and kick the PLANT locals.

Patrick Sarah knew Red very well, and after analyzing the existing intelligence, he concluded that Red was here to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, there is actually no need for Red to send a large army to block this route. He only needs to place his troops on the last line of defense.

As for the road in the middle, just drop some things to give the New Misluchi Kingdom a reason to drive slowly. You must first deal with the Earth Alliance that wants to use nuclear bombs on PLANT's homeland.

Therefore, the route in front of Red was completely unobstructed. Through the reconnaissance of the mass-produced Wing Gundam, it was discovered that there were seven or eight closed sunglass systems on the main route, and there were also more than a dozen closed sunglass systems on both sides of the road. This route was completely blocked by various sunglass systems.

Red was certain that at least two-thirds of these sunglass systems were counterfeits with only one frame. After all, although sunglasses were very common, they still had to meet certain craftsmanship standards and could not be expanded simply by expanding the production line.

Even if PLANT has a large number of spares, the limit is to be able to collect ten sets. There are more than 20 sets that can be seen here, and there must be more that cannot be seen due to the distance.

Similarly, the direction that the Earth Alliance passed must also have a sunglasses system defense. After all, this thing is still useful for defense. Before it is destroyed, it can directly destroy the opponent's offensive route.

But it was impossible for Patrick Sala to use all of PLANT's military production lines to produce special glass, and it would take half a month to produce one.

Therefore, this route is an open strategy. Patrick Sala almost said it openly. If you have the guts, you can ignore so many sunglasses systems and drive the fleet in to see if I am fake. Otherwise, just clean them up slowly from the blind spots one by one.

Red said that he really had no good way to deal with so many sunglasses systems. Even if he sent two mass-produced Wing Gundams to explore them one by one, it would probably take several days. And after the exploration, he would have to plan the cleaning route and then think about cleaning.

As for the detour, it is not just a small detour. The fleet has to cross the garbage belt around the earth twice. This time, Red does not need to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. It is a waste of time for the fleet to cross the garbage belt around the earth twice.

So Red did some calculations and decided that it might be faster to destroy the blind spots from the beginning and clear the route. After all, the shortcomings of the sunglass system were too obvious. Not only could the computer easily calculate the blind spots for attack based on the position of the sun, but the reflector itself was a fragile item.

This thing can't be equipped with PS armor, let alone missiles. Jinn's 76mm bean gun can blow up a large area with one volley.

Therefore, it is not difficult to destroy an unguarded sunglass system. You can just make some steel ball grenades for MS in the factory of the Gransao, and then go around the blind spot in stealth. Three or five grenades can basically destroy a sunglass system.

Of course, this takes time. Red would rather crawl on the road for two days than rush into the range of the sunglass system. If the system that can hit him is real, he will be in trouble.

Moreover, if we don’t dismantle these “sunglass systems” now, we will have to dismantle them when we finish fighting and return home. We will have to dismantle them ourselves anyway, so we might as well dismantle them now.
