Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 191: PLANT is surrounded by enemies
Red was not too clear about the battle situation at Fort Boyaz, because Red was still clearing the waterway in peace.

Just as Red had expected, the sunglass systems along the way were basically fake. PLANT even cut corners by using scrap iron to cast a mold. It didn't even have the function of opening, but it was just placed there to scare people.

Of course, there are real ones too. Red encountered three real systems along the way, one in the middle of the road, and two at the turns of the road that must be passed.

If I really rush in recklessly, these three systems will definitely give me a surprise. After all, ZAFT's reconnaissance-type Jinn often appears near the fleet.

However, these reconnaissance-type Jinns would not conduct close reconnaissance. They would usually use cameras to confirm the position of the New Mislchi Kingdom fleet from a distance of tens of thousands of miles away to see if it had entered the attack range of the True Sunglasses System and then withdraw.

Therefore, it was difficult for Red to catch a tongue. As soon as the new Mislchi Kingdom fleet organics chased them out, they ran directly to the meteorite group and space garbage dump.

Considering that the current position is very close to the PLANT mainland, Red does not want the pursuit troops to be ambushed after rushing into the complex terrain.

Don't wait until the next time to experience what I did to the ZAFT fleet during the Battle of the Star Palace Colony Satellite.

So the fleet of the New Mislichi Kingdom just cleaned up the area honestly and was not in a hurry at all.

Red was certain that ZAFT did not have the manpower to defend itself now. As for whether the Earth Federation's fleet would be defeated within two or three days? ZAFT was no longer on the defensive if it had this strength.

As for using Genesis to destroy the Earth United Fleet, it is even more impossible, unless Patrick Sala is ruthless enough to use the Boyatz Fortress as bait and put the Boyatz Fortress into the Genesis attack axis.

Three days later, the New Misluchi Kingdom fleet, which had been crawling along the way, finally arrived near the PLANT mainland and confronted the ZAFT fleet that was defending its side.

However, Red wanted to laugh when he saw the fleet defending his side. There were only more than 20 Lorasia-class battleships, and most of their MS were Kings. He felt that he could break through them with a little effort and directly penetrate into the PLANT mainland.

It's a pity that Red is not prepared to do so. He has already promised the three countries of the Earth Alliance not to participate in the distribution of benefits of PLANT, so naturally he will not make any effort to help the Earth Alliance conquer the PLANT homeland.

After all, Australia has not yet completely digested the New Misluchi Kingdom. If it still wants to swallow part of PLANT, it would be like a snake swallowing an elephant.

There is a typical case in the Gundam anime series. The Tekkadan in Iron-Blooded expanded too quickly, wanted everything, and didn't know how to make choices. In the end, they were led by the situation and fell into a path of no return.

Therefore, when Red arrived near the PLANT mainland, he just pretended to send the automatic robots and the defenders to fire a few shots at each other in the void to fool the Earth Alliance, but there was no real attack at all.

Of course, Red would not really go to PLANT to watch the show. He just planned to understand how the battle at Boyaz Fortress was going before taking any action.

However, before Red's reconnaissance team was sent out, the three-ship alliance contacted them.

Lux was obviously a little anxious. The Archangel, the Eternal, and the Kusanagi were still hiding in the meteorite belt on the other side of PLANT. She used her connections in PLANT and took a shuttle ship directly through PLANT to find Red.

Naturally, Red took Angel to meet Lux in person. After all, she should be very clear about the situation at Boyaz Fortress, so he didn't have to send any more troops to conduct reconnaissance.

However, when Red saw Lux in the tactical meeting room, he found that she was in a very bad mood, with dark circles under her eyes that could not be covered by makeup.

So after Red sat down, he didn't ask for information right away, but asked with concern:

"Lacus, I feel like you need some rest now. I'll arrange a room for you. You can get some sleep for a few hours before we talk. I'm not in a hurry."

Red really cares about Lux, but Lux is clearly not in the mood to rest. He stands up and says
"Red, Fort Boyaz was breached this morning. The Earth Alliance is resting its troops and will probably launch a full-scale attack on the PLANT mainland tomorrow. Time is running out, and I will be back right after I finish talking to you."

When Red heard this, he was a little surprised. He was not surprised that the Earth Alliance could capture the Boyaz Fortress, but it was indeed fast to capture it in three days.

Red doesn't believe that Lacus revealed the information about Genesis to the Earth Union, and doesn't reveal the information about the Earth Union unlocking the nuclear bomb to PLANT.

The prepared PLANTs must have prepared a plan to intercept nuclear bombs in advance, so the original story would not be wiped out by a wave of nuclear bombs.

The battle between the ZAFT Space Force and the East Asian Republic for the attack and defense of Nova lasted for a full month.

This time when the Earth Alliance attacks, the generation gap in equipment has disappeared.

But Fort Boyaz is a military fortress after all. During the attack and defense of Nova, Nova was just a colonial satellite, and the defense capabilities of the two sides were incomparable.

Moreover, for ZAFT, there is no way out. Once the Boyatz Fortress falls, the Earth Alliance will be able to go straight to the PLANT mainland without any hindrance.

Therefore, Red had always felt that this battle would take at least a week. If ZAFT made proper arrangements, it might last for half a month, or even more than half a month.

The Earth Alliance must wipe out all of ZAFT's defensive ships and outer forces in order to win.

So Red quickly asked Lux ​​what was going on and what tricks the Earth Alliance had used to capture the Boyaz Fortress in just three days.

It was obvious that Lux came this time to learn from Red, so she did not hide any of the current situation and told him in detail how the Earth Alliance won quickly.

After listening to this, Red had only one thought: when it comes to ruthlessness, the Atlantic Federation is still the most ruthless, both to their enemies and to themselves.

Yes, the rapid fall of Fort Boyaz was ultimately due to the Atlantic Federation.

After the first intervention of the Three Ships Alliance was forced back by ZAFT and the Earth Federation, the Atlantic Federation continued to implement the tactic of hiding bullets, directly disregarding the lives of soldiers and using them as terrorists.

The Atlantic Federation completely treated the nuclear bomb as a conventional weapon. In order to quickly reduce the number of defense fleets relying on the firepower of the Boyatz Fortress, the Atlantic Federation even erased the nuclear logo and fired the nuclear bomb at the MS team as if it were mixed with ordinary missiles. Moreover, the detonation method was changed to detonate when the outer armor was damaged.

When ZAFT's MS encountered this type of missile, it exploded prematurely as usual, resulting in a direct detonation of a full-powerful nuclear bomb.

This often means that two or three nearby ZAFT teams are instantly engulfed by the nuclear explosion. If the explosion is close enough to the battleship, the battleship will also be in trouble.

With this trick, the Covenant Gundam could not intercept every nuclear bomb even if it used all its firepower. After all, there were a bunch of missiles coming at them, and they had no idea which one was a nuclear bomb, so they could only intercept them all. How could an MPFM multi-purpose flying backpack possibly intercept all the missiles from so many warships of the Earth Alliance?

Moreover, the East Asian Republic and the Eurasian Federation did not just stand by and watch. They attacked from different directions, dispersing the guards of the Boyaz Fortress while doing their best to kill its manpower.

Therefore, the troops of Boyaz Fortress were almost completely wiped out by nuclear bombs on the second day, and then the guns outside the fortress were blasted away one by one by the Earth Union. In the end, they could only watch the nuclear bombs hit the fortress and open a gap. Fortunately, all the nuclear bombs brought by the Atlantic Federation were used up at this time, so the last day became a fortress landing battle.

The landing battle was the area where the East Asian Republic's Genbu Gundam had an advantage, and the remnants of ZAFT were defeated in the fortress.

Finally, the commander of Fort Boyaz ordered the last remaining combat-capable troops to retreat to the mainland, and then took the wounded to hold back the Earth Alliance's troops. After the manpower had withdrawn, he directly blew up Fort Boyaz.

This battle can be said to be quite brutal. The Atlantic Federation's rapid destruction of the ZAFT fleet came at the cost of extremely heavy MS losses. Although the battleships were not seriously damaged, it can be basically concluded that at least two-thirds of the ships would have lost their carrier-based aircraft.

The East Asian Republic was also seriously injured by the explosion of Boyaz Fortress. The main force of the subsequent landing force was the East Asian Republic. According to Lacus, it was good that the Blue Dragon Gundam did not participate in the landing. In the end, only a single digit of the Black Warrior Gundam appeared, and the number of other lost soldiers and generals is unknown. At least one-third of the East Asian Republic's MS troops must have been killed.

The country with the least losses among the three major countries was the Eurasian Federation, which had the worst equipment. Because of their backwardness, they could only provide fire support. Their main losses came from the battle with the ZAFT fleet on the second day.

The Eurasian Federation did not send many landing troops. Although the commander of the Eurasian Federation must still feel the pain, compared with the other two, the loss is really small.

It can be said that in this battle, the Earth Federation suffered little loss of ships, but huge loss of MS, so they had to wait for subsequent replenishment.

Fortunately, the entire supply route is now unobstructed. Within a day, supply ships from the moon and the earth will deliver the first batch of reinforcements.

And it's easy to imagine that the Atlantic Federation will definitely replenish its nuclear bomb attack team, and the number they carry may be even greater than that in the Battle of Fort Boyaz.

That will be the time for the Earth Alliance to launch a general attack on PLANT’s homeland.

It can be said that PLANT is really in danger at this time. The situation is even worse than after the Boyatz Fortress was breached in the original novel. After all, the only retreat route has been cut off by Red's troops.

Now that there are only a few ZAFTs left in PLANT, Patrick Sala must activate the former conservative troops.

That's why Lux was able to cross PLANT to find him at such a tense moment, and the conservative troops contributed a lot.

Moreover, the battle that took place after the New Mischi Kingdom arrived on the PLANT mainland made the conservative congressmen who were released feel that the New Mischi Kingdom might be open to negotiation.

Lux also told the conservatives about Red's demands. Conservative lawmakers naturally supported Patrick Sarah's resignation, and the subsequent problem of sealing the Genesis-related technology would not be a big problem.

Therefore, Lux’s mission on this trip was also to deliver a message to the conservative members of the PLANT parliament.

Reid was silent for a long time after hearing this, and he was thinking about what might happen next. Finally, he said

“Lacus, it’s fine if the conservative members of the PLANT want to talk, but, again, when Patrick Sarah steps down and Genesis is destroyed, that’s when I’ll start talking.

By the way, don’t fool me that the Genesis PLANT was not actually built. The war has been fought to this point, and the hard-line congressmen have not forced Patrick Sarah to step down, proving that they definitely have the means to turn the tables.

The reason why we can't see Genesis now is probably because the mirage system was turned on during the construction. Anyway, PLANT has no shortage of nuclear energy, so this kind of high-cost project can still be supported.

Therefore, after the Earth Federation declares war on the PLANT homeland, I will also take action.

However, I can promise not to attack the PLANT mainland from the rear. If those twenty-odd Lolaxia-class battleships and escort MS don't come to trouble me, I will pretend not to see them and send a few automatic robots to continue the show with them.

As for my target, it’s okay to tell you that I will attack the Yakin Duwei Fortress directly.

I have information that Patrick Sala is in the fortress. If necessary, I will invite him to the sea view room in the New Mislchi Kingdom to watch the sea for the rest of his life."

After hearing this, Lacus did not refute Red's words. Red obviously did not kill Patrick Sara for Aslan's sake. Life imprisonment was already an extra mercy. So she nodded and said

"No problem, Red, I'll bring you what you need."

After saying this, Lux suddenly seemed a little embarrassed, as if she wanted to speak but was too embarrassed to do so.

Red could feel that Lux was really embarrassed now, just like a child who knew he had made a mistake but didn't know how to speak because of face.

So Reid took the initiative to speak
"Lacus, if you have anything else to ask, just ask them. You won't have time to ask them once the war starts."

When Lux heard this, she sighed and asked with some disappointment:
"Reid, as a third party intervening in the battlefield, is it really not advisable to persuade people to stop the war?"

Reid heard this and answered decisively:

"If it is as you described earlier, intervening when the battle between the two sides is at its most intense is certainly not advisable."

Lux heard this and thought that Red didn't seem to deny intervening, but was complaining about the timing. So her eyes lit up and she asked
“So when is intervention advisable?”

Reid did not hesitate at all and replied

"It is advisable to intervene when others need help the most. At least, the party who needs help will not hit you.

As for calling for peace, both sides must first have the conditions and willingness for peace.

If you intervene when the two sides are fighting the most and it is unclear who will win, people who don't know would think you are here to take advantage. If both sides don't fight, who will they fight?"

Lux nodded and asked again

“So when will both sides have the conditions and willingness for peace?”

Reid has an answer to this question in his mind. If both sides have the conditions and willingness for peace, then of course both sides can no longer fight and can only choose temporary peace. Can we still expect that when one side is strong, kindness will burst out and choose peace?
But the answer cannot be told to Lux, Red directly riddles humanity

"It is your job to judge this timing. You all know the conditions for peace here. As for the alliance between PLANT and Earth, it depends on your efforts."
